On today's show, we discuss the latest in the ongoing trade war between the United States and China, CNN's latest attempt to make Trump orange, and the TikTok ban. Plus, Tiffany Cianci joins us to talk about the pending financial collapse of Hooters.
00:02:05.000As the global markets are in turmoil and there's chaos internationally, we already have the report from the Financial Times that countries are racing to offer U.S. concessions before the tariffs hit.
00:02:18.000Indeed. Well, we'll see how this plays out.
00:02:21.000No one is sure, but on tribal lines, it's pretty obvious.
00:02:24.000Conservatives are typically saying it's good.
00:02:27.000Democrats are typically saying it's bad.
00:02:29.000The market is taking a hit, but we have no idea why.
00:02:33.000Some are saying that it's a short, that people are selling off because they're trying to sabotage Trump or profit off of what they think will be his failures.
00:02:41.000Not that it's actually a genuine reaction to trade.
00:02:44.000But again, others are saying, yo, when you mess up trade like this, your market is going to sell off.
00:03:43.000And of course, Ian's Graphene Dream sells like crazy, for whatever reason.

00:04:25.000Joining us tonight to talk about this and so much more is Tiffany Cianci.
00:04:59.000And we had a guest who just didn't show up.
00:05:02.000And you rushed out the door to try and make it here in time, but you were telling us about the pending financial collapse from all these businesses that are going under now.
00:05:11.000Hooters apparently is filing bankruptcy, and you predicted it.
00:05:13.000Yep. So this will be really interesting.
00:05:15.000We'll dive back into that after we get through all the other news, of course, but should be fun.
00:05:31.000I'm the lead singer of the Here's the news, ladies and gentlemen!
00:05:37.000We're starting off with the big bang from the Financial Times.
00:05:41.000Donald Trump triggers race to offer U.S. concessions before tariffs hit.
00:05:46.000Nations prepare offers to Washington, including weapons deals, dropping their own tariffs, and moves against China.
00:05:55.000When does Trump get to say, I told you so?
00:05:57.000Should he do that now, or should he wait until the deals are finalized?
00:06:01.000Because, I gotta say, all day, it was nothing but finance people, Democrats, liberals, bashing their faces on the table, screaming that this was the apocalypse and Trump was burning everything down, and now the Financial Times, not a liberal paper, not a- it's- it's- they're- they're- the Financial Times are saying, alright, these countries are coming out and saying, we're gonna offer you some deals.
00:06:23.000They mention the EU, Brussels has offered to drop car tariffs 10% to Washington levels of 2.5%.
00:06:31.000Said officials briefed on talks it could also increase energy purchases.
00:06:35.000They say few of these countries have moved to retaliate in an attempt to reduce its 20% tariff.
00:06:40.000The EU instead is prepared to cut the $235 billion trade surplus it racked up in 2024 by buying more U.S. goods and lowering some tariffs.
00:06:51.000Trump's swinging global tariffs It seems like Trump's move just wins.
00:07:40.000Again, because if the goal of the tariffs was to onshore, so-called onshore manufacturing again, I don't think it was going to achieve that goal.
00:07:48.000But if this was an art of the deal style maneuver to create some leverage, to be able to cancel out some of these trade surpluses some of these countries have with us, or to try to make some concessions on trying to deal with China, this is all in our favor.
00:08:03.000We've had bad trade deals with these countries for some time.
00:08:06.000we've been getting the short end of the stick, and this is what it took to kind of bring everything back together.
00:08:11.000Markets hate uncertainty, and they are definitely, it's very Trump is Trump obviously injects a lot of uncertainty into the market.
00:08:19.000So we're going to see some turbulence moving forward.
00:08:21.000But I think the ultimate gain here that we're seeing more than justifies that.
00:08:26.000I think it's interesting, too, the people who are complaining the most about the market would otherwise, again, talk about hating business people and hating big business.
00:08:33.000So I just think it's an interesting...
00:08:34.000the group of people who are complaining about this the most usually hate big business.
00:08:39.000I think if you're dealing with political pundits or partisans, The criticism of the tariffs is baked in.
00:09:49.000But the people that are getting hurt are people that do have assets, people that have money in the stock market.
00:09:56.000If you're talking about the working class, you're talking about poor people, they mostly do not have assets.
00:10:01.000So this actually doesn't affect them the same way that it does affect rich people.
00:10:06.000Maybe Trump is just like, I don't really care about those people.
00:10:09.000I mean, look, the stock market needs a correction.
00:10:12.000There's a bubble that's not some kind of thing that's debated.
00:10:15.000Talk to most of the economists and most of the people that are in financials, and they're aware of that.
00:10:20.000Go ahead, if you had something to add, please.
00:10:22.000From a working class or populist perspective, my whole thing is small business advocacy.
00:10:26.000There's no question some small businesses are going to be hurt by this.
00:10:28.000There's no question that it will be difficult for them.
00:10:31.000However, when you look at what's going on with small business America and how they're being gobbled up by private equity, they have one We're good to
00:11:04.000go. Conveyor belt to eventual failure.
00:11:07.000This is going to expedite that for some of them, but it's going to give small businesses that do business with other small businesses and farms and American manufacturing a leg up.
00:11:16.000So in that regard, I actually think from a populist perspective, it's going to hurt the finance bros more than it's going to hurt the small businesses.
00:11:22.000And I think that there's a claim to be made there that that's what our small businesses need because I don't see a future for the younger generations of America right now.
00:11:32.000I also think that probably a lot of Gen Z are looking at this and laughing.
00:12:23.000So right now, with all the moves that Trump is making, he's very popular among Gen Z. I kind of feel like Gen Z is just shrugging and laughing and being like, oh yeah, my retirement account, I'm so concerned about something I will never have.
00:12:35.000That point, I was listening to the All In podcast a couple weeks ago and the guy Chamath was making that exact point.
00:12:41.000There has to be a correction in the market and the people that tend to vote for Trump being The people that are populist, you know, geared toward populism, like, they're not the finance bros generally.
00:12:55.000They're the people that don't have assets.
00:12:57.000And this actually does give them a chance to get into the market and get some deals on things if they want.
00:13:03.000Look, I'm not saying that everyone should be in the market.
00:13:05.000That's not the argument that I'm making.
00:13:06.000But the point is, this doesn't hurt the average person that doesn't own assets.
00:13:11.000And most of Gen Z and probably a significant portion of millennials don't own assets.
00:13:17.000I think if you want some insight to the thinking of the Trump administration here, yesterday Treasury Secretary Scott Besson brushed off stock market losses following the tariff announcement saying that's a MAG 7 problem, not a MAGA problem.
00:13:33.000When he says MAG 7, he's referring to the magnificent seven stocks in the stock market that are very overvalued.
00:13:39.000So he's saying that it's a problem for them, not for MAGA.
00:13:43.000So I don't think they mind seeing some crash in some of these.
00:13:47.000Apple, Amazon, Tesla stocks if it means they are going to have leverage to negotiate with other countries and I think we should be thanking Donald Trump for an opportunity to buy in if you know stats show that most people don't have any money invested within the next month or so maybe you should be looking to invest some thanks to Trump he's giving you a good entry point yeah and there's never been more opportunity or there's never been more Simple ways for the average person to actually get into the stock market,
00:14:14.000whether there's all kinds of apps you can get to get pieces of of stock.
00:14:18.000It's foolish for us to suggest, though, that the working class and the younger generation are not going to suffer under this while it's being worked through.
00:14:25.000It's absolutely like insane for us to think that that's not a reality that they're going to have to suffer.
00:14:30.000And I want to be really honest, like for the for the generation that's like 30 and under, they've suffered a lot.
00:14:46.000Endless debt for jobs that are never going to come, that are never going to pay back their school loans, right?
00:14:51.000There's a lot that's working against them.
00:14:53.000We have to understand that, and we also need to find ways to give them mechanisms back for prosperity, because they don't have them right now.
00:14:59.000If that's the case, and they are leveraged the way you say, isn't the best thing to do to get interest rates down, get inflation under control and lower interest rates?
00:15:06.000Because if they're leveraged, they've got a lot of debt.
00:15:12.000I mean getting the interest rates down might make their $1,600 a month student loan payment $1,400 a month but it's not going to change the fact they're never going to get a job that's actually going to pay back the education that what it costs them that we told them would pay them back over time.
00:15:25.000Like I'm lucky I came in two years early.
00:16:04.000They don't have 50, 60, 70 grand to put a down payment on a $200 house.
00:16:08.000There's a viral video from Boy Meets World.
00:16:11.000Where the main character is the $80,000 house and how it's like we're gonna have to work for six months to get that down payment or something like that.
00:16:19.000Let's jump to this next story from the Seattle Times.
00:17:44.000Despite broad participation, The top 10% of income earners own 87% of corporate equities and mutual funds.
00:17:52.000So when you see Apple, Amazon, Nvidia, Microsoft, Meta, Alphabet, Tesla, Broadcom, Walmart, JPMorgan dropping, and the media is going, oh, woe is me, Democrats, quick, we're in pain, Donald Trump's tariff plans.
00:18:04.000What they're really saying is, quick, wealthy people, we're upset.
00:18:08.000So I'm wondering if Donald Trump When he makes these moves, and they say in the media, oh, the stocks are tanking and people's retirements and all that stuff, I wonder if Donald Trump is actually just thinking, I gotta be honest, I don't care about these people, they're rich.
00:18:22.000The person who has the top 10% of this country, are they really going to be hurt by this right now?
00:18:29.000They probably didn't even know what the cost of eggs was, to be completely honest.
00:18:34.000Now, I gotta tell you guys, I don't know, and I haven't known for a long time, how much a dozen eggs costs.
00:19:39.000My favorite thing was how he took Unix, slapped his brand on it, and sold it for a crap load of money when it was a free software to begin with, but hey, bravo to Apple, right?
00:19:47.000It's those curvy edges that people really like.
00:21:30.000So the question now is going to be, will Trump's tariffs result in other countries changing their policies, investing in America, and making trade better for us?
00:21:38.000And it looks like the answer is, it's already started.
00:22:20.000I don't even care about, like, the middle-upper class.
00:22:24.000If you have money and you have food and you can eat, we need to make sure that the people who are struggling and suffering are able to work these things through and make it.
00:22:34.000Now the problem is, you've got people who can't afford to feed their kids, and you've got Gen Z that feels like right now there is no path forward.
00:22:43.000So when we look at these stocks, and I'll give you this, the income of the top 10% of this country is, let's see, as of 2024, You need to make $150,000 per year to be considered a top 10% earner in the United States.
00:22:59.000How many Gen Z-ers are anywhere near that number?
00:23:20.000They own a disproportionate amount of debt.
00:23:23.000They will be saddled with the debt that we continue our boomers continue to you guys ask the question our tariffs going to make it better For the working class of this country It's gonna take a lot more like let's say tariffs work and like I think that we will see a lot of reciprocal relief Okay, I think and I'll say again what I said earlier Which I think it's insane that we're upset about applying a 10% tariff to Canada when Canada is putting a 269 percent tariff on the goods that we're sending there.
00:23:51.000We can't send both I don't know if it should be blanket, but I do think we're gonna see some reciprocal relief.
00:24:02.000But unless we see a serious market correction, and that's gonna take pain, a serious market correction, Gen Z and these younger millennials will never own a home.
00:25:29.000Stellantis has literally driven up all of their prices, cut all of their quality, hurt their union members, and have literally injured their customers by refusing to do recalls on deadly issues with their vehicles.
00:28:02.000This idea that we were going to be the capital city of the Hunger Games of the world, and that a country could survive with no one being able to do any work or know how to do work.
00:28:21.000People need passions, they need drive, and they have to build things.
00:28:24.000So when they took it all away and gave it away, like, now we're gonna get free cheap stuff.
00:28:27.000Nope. So I just absolutely love, love how this played out.
00:28:32.000There are a ton of reasons that the working class are being hit from all sides, especially in the younger generations, okay?
00:28:37.000It is foolish of us to suggest these tariffs are not going to lead to layoffs in the working class.
00:28:42.000They are going to lead to pain for the working class.
00:28:44.000However, there are other issues that are at play.
00:28:48.000Historically, for every $1 that a product went up based on inflation, 93 cents of that dollar increase went back into the economy, either through reinvestment in higher wages, or through new factories, or through price relief when there was severe inflation.
00:29:04.000Six cents of every dollar increase in the average product in America is going back into the economy and all of its being funneled to the hands of a very few individuals.
00:29:12.000There has been a massive shift and last time I was on here we talked about Dodge versus Ford.
00:29:17.000It's a court case, very famous court case that kind of started this spiral in my opinion in a lot of ways.
00:29:22.000Ford was trying to be a good employer.
00:29:24.000I'm not gonna say anything about how good of a company they were based on some of the things they did.
00:29:27.000They were trying to be a good employer and a good neighbor.
00:29:30.000They wanted to increase wages for their workers.
00:29:33.000They wanted to reinvest in new factories.
00:29:34.000They wanted to lower prices on their cars.
00:29:36.000Dodge sued them and they said, by law, you have to serve your shareholders instead of your employees, so you're not allowed to raise their wages.
00:33:06.000It's my thought, or I could be misremembering, but I thought that CNN had said that they were going to try to move away from this kind of stuff.
00:33:31.000The question for this story is why would they make Trump look orange?
00:33:37.000When you watch Family Guy, and Family Guy satirizes Trump, they made him look bright orange.
00:33:42.000When you watch SNL, when you watch these parodies on the left, they always make Trump look as orange as they can.
00:33:48.000They're trying to add grains of sand to the heap that Trump is a clown, he's an unserious person, he's laughable and crazy.
00:33:55.000But when you watch Trump in reality on Fox News, he does not look that orange.
00:34:00.000This is not the first time we've seen stories.
00:34:02.000There have been numerous photos that have been published in the press, written, where they have a photo attached to it, where Trump has been saturated to look orange.
00:34:09.000What happens then is, a liberal says, he's disgusting, why does he do this?
00:34:14.000Why do we have an orange clown for our president?
00:34:16.000But people who have been to Trump's rallies are like, what are you talking about?
00:34:20.000So I was asked, how do you know it's not Fox News making Trump look better?
00:34:25.000And I said, because I've met Trump in person and he's not orange.
00:34:30.000I'll be honest, the skeptic or the cynic in me feels like this kind of stuff is just dropped into the news feed intentionally to keep us from paying attention to real issues and to keep us arguing about stuff that is super irrelevant.
00:34:41.000Maybe. I don't believe that CNN called up Fox News and said, hey, we're gonna...
00:35:07.000They have an army of people that get on there and, you know, say Orange Man bad every night, and they have for the past, you know, ten years or whatever.
00:35:18.000So, I find it uncompelling or redundant, I guess.
00:35:24.000I suppose they're trying to create a perception of Trump among the left, and they've succeeded in doing it.
00:35:30.000You think they're just trying to feed their red meat to their base?
00:35:33.000No, I think they're trying to make sure the bureaucratic state, the administrative state, wants to make sure that people can't be exposed to reality.
00:35:41.000Like, how is it that Daniel Negreanu, famous poker player, came on the show and he told us a great story.
00:37:20.000To the people who are like, I just can't convince my liberal aunt, like, no matter what.
00:37:24.000It's because, in her mind, she already saw the video.
00:37:28.000There's a 10-second video where Trump says, they were very fine people on both sides, and that's all she saw.
00:37:34.000And then you have a 30-second video where he says, and I'm not talking about the neo-Nazis or the white nationalists, they should be condemned totally.
00:37:40.000But every time you say, Aunt Ruth, watch the video, she goes, I've already seen it.
00:37:44.000I've already seen it, I don't need to watch it.
00:37:46.000Yeah, the the fact that the I mean that the very fine people hoaxes is still alive and well And it's actually kind of remarkable that it has that kind of state and Biden ran on it.
00:37:57.000Yeah, that's amazing Biden ran on and I mean there's Kamala Harris was saying oh, hey There he said there were very fine people Barack Obama said the same thing and this was in the in the campaign just this past fall You know like they were still making those remarks.
00:38:13.000Well, that was actually I believe Negrano mentioned that as well Yeah.
00:38:20.000Yeah. I have to re-evaluate everything that I know about this guy now.
00:38:50.000Because this is what I would have sworn up and down.
00:38:56.000Totally that that is what he said because I saw the the end of the edited video and then when I saw the actual whole video It may it'll admit it makes me reevaluate everything that I thought I believed, you know I had Robert F. Kennedy jr.
00:39:09.000On my live tick-tock town hall show four times and one of the things people wanted me to ask you about regularly were the jabs right not not the code ones but just in general a lot of people saw a clip from a A podcast he did where they asked him about whether or not he thought there was anything such thing as a safe.
00:39:27.000I'm just going to do this so that there's no censorship over here.
00:39:32.000But he started to say, I don't believe there's any such thing.
00:39:36.000as a safe vaccine without double blind testing and the strict standard scrutinization of science that we do on all pharmaceuticals.
00:39:46.000And that podcast cut it down to, I don't believe there's any such thing as a safe vaccine.
00:39:50.000He was quoted on that quote more than 10,000 times over the course of his entire, and over and over again, people would get mad at me that I had him on my cast.
00:40:01.000First of all, you need to have him on.
00:40:02.000You can't ask the question if you don't have somebody in front of you.
00:40:06.000I don't care how much I disagree with him.
00:40:08.000But that one quote, I saw the full version and I saw that, and every news outlet in America took that one half a clip without the rest of it and ran.
00:41:03.000Do you believe there's something funky going on there and based on something more than just conjecture because I mean, I know there's been a lot of just conjecture about I don't know.
00:41:14.000Everything, you know, we're just talking about the fine people hoax a moment ago.
00:41:17.000Everything on the internet is just people throwing mud at one another and seeing what sticks.
00:42:22.000No. What, you said I'm fairly certain?
00:42:25.000No, it's just because we do hear so much of this conjecture, and I think there's just, it's interesting how so people are so certain that there is blackmail on him again.
00:42:34.000I don't know if there is or isn't, that's why it's a moot point.
00:42:36.000When people go online and say, ooh, I bet there's something sliced, like, okay, show me some evidence and we'll talk about it.
00:42:41.000Yeah, well, I think that's the funny part, that there are some people who, again, think...
00:42:45.000I mean, I gotta be honest, when I was trying to buy The Daily Wear...
00:42:49.000That was the craziest thing that people thought you'd have enough money to buy the Daily Wire.
00:42:56.000Yeah, my dad owns an emerald mine in South Africa.
00:43:12.000If you read any of the transcripts of testimony from the cases that were actually brought about Epstein-Weinstein, or what's starting to come out with the Diddy stuff, I believe there's a lot of people that have blackmail on a lot of people.
00:43:42.000I'm saying that there is specific testimony about specific members, even of Congress, where they've talked about congressional members that were brought into the room and forced to do things, and they were part of the victims in that circumstance.
00:45:49.000World Bank data shows that in 2022, the U.S. imported $1.4 million worth of goods from Heard Island and McDonald Islands, mostly classified as machinery and electrical products.
00:46:00.000Despite the fact the island has no buildings or people, however, it does have a fishery.
00:46:04.000It is unclear what the imported products were.
00:46:06.000In the previous five years, imports ranged from $15,000 to $325,000.
00:46:11.000So, let's start with the, perhaps the people at CNN are just developmentally disabled, and they're like, there's no people there, they're tariffing penguins.
00:46:22.000Or perhaps they're intentionally lying to you, so you think Trump is a buffoon.
00:46:26.000But in reality, the Trump administration said, we don't care where you're selling the products from, these are islands and territories that have transferred products and machines to the United States, you get a tariff too.
00:47:00.000And they literally said, we are not joking.
00:47:03.000Trump is terrorizing an island inhabited by penguins.
00:47:05.000And it's like, It's for the fisheries off the coast.
00:47:08.000It's Australian territory, and people work there.
00:47:12.000I'm going to say what I said earlier, which is that there is plenty of substantive stuff they could be talking about to educate the American population about tariffs.
00:47:20.000This is a hyperbolic, inflated headline that is designed to create division and distract from actual topics that are relevant to the working class of America.
00:47:28.000They could talk about substantive tariff issues if they wanted to.
00:47:32.000They're just seeking clicks, and that's what this is, and I think it's silly.
00:47:36.000I mean of course it's silly but I think that I mean I feel like it's it's just more of the same you know it's more the same just slander of of the administration.
00:47:45.000I can't I can't believe we're 10 years in and they're still doing it.
00:48:04.000It's the entirety of the, you know, Democrat establishment.
00:48:08.000They all are doing all of the same things, whether it be, you know, Donald Trump is, you know, is There's this one Democrat operative that's making the exact same comments about people on the right.
00:48:23.000She said that something that Jeremy from the Quartering said, she said that now they're doing full-on National Socialism, which is just a rehash of their Nazis.
00:48:50.000The Democrats and the left, they have no coherent message because they have no leadership and because the people have rejected what they're offering and Donald Trump has taken the working class from them.
00:49:03.000Well, Ilad, now that you're best friends with these people, I mean, what do you have to say for yourself?
00:49:08.000You're hanging out with them in the White House all day.
00:49:39.000The White House Correspondents Association, they used to have a monopoly on coverage.
00:49:43.000And you could tell that all of them are on the same page.
00:49:46.000Whatever the front page news is of the day is what you can expect the whole front row of people to be asking and constantly berating Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt with.
00:49:56.000Despite her answering the question, they'll ask her the same thing four different ways and kind of just waste her time, frustrate her until somebody else can get hit in with another topic.
00:50:08.000It's so Caitlin Collins could look like a movie star on CNN, like they're fighting, so they could have one shot of Caitlin Collins and then it's like she's arguing back and forth fighting fascism against Caroline Leavitt.
00:51:11.000Yeah. Well, you know, the White House is actually addressing this because there have been reports that they're planning on tossing out the official White House seating arrangement in the press briefing room.
00:51:22.000They're already changing up who is allowed on White House grounds to be a journalist and cover it.
00:51:27.000The White House Correspondents Association used to have Monopoly on it, and now they're actually very shook about what the future of their association looks like.
00:51:36.000Eugene Daniels is a guy from Politico and the current president of the White House Correspondents Association, and it looks like under his watch, we're actually going to see this deteriorate and then become a completely irrelevant association.
00:51:47.000The White House Correspondents Association has no actual power that wasn't granted to them by the White House.
00:51:57.000The White House actually has all the power and what they says go.
00:52:00.000The White House Correspondents Association only has power based on tradition from- Absolutely.
00:52:35.000What I'm describing is how they view it.
00:52:37.000So when I'm saying we'd lock them out and have a party, this is what the White House Correspondents Association had been doing the whole time.
00:52:45.000Only they were allowed in and everyone else had to look through the window and watch them have their party.
00:52:48.000There's been reporting now that if they are stripped of their seating chart, they plan to have a sit-in.
00:52:53.000So they actually plan to take coverage away from independent journalists and different people in the room if they are disallowed.
00:53:00.000So if they change the seating chart, they want to actually take My ability to cover the White House from me, based on- Did you apply through the Correspondents Association to get your seat?
00:53:09.000I did not apply through the White House Correspondents Association.
00:53:09.000Okay, so I have applied through the White House Correspondents Association.
00:53:14.000Would you meet- I'm not gonna give you access!
00:53:16.000I don't think you even have any requirements.
00:53:17.000No, but they said I had to try, because I've been invited to CPAC and I've been invited- Wait, wait, wait, the White House said you had to?
00:53:23.000So when I sent my email to the press office and I wanted to go to the RNC, the DNC, I wanted to go to all of the national conventions this year, I was directed to the White House Correspondents Association and they said that you have to apply here.
00:53:38.000I sent in 60 articles that I've given quotes in.
00:53:41.000I sent in examples of my op-eds that I've had published.
00:53:44.000And if I didn't have a credential from one of their current publications, I was not allowed to be considered.
00:53:51.000And I could not provide them a credential that I had a full-time job with one of theirs because I was freelancing for all of these places and I had my TikTok show.
00:54:00.000And I was like, listen, I'm getting, you know, 250,000 views.
00:54:02.000I'm interviewing all these presidential candidates.
00:54:47.000But I don't understand why they don't just say, uh, everybody out.
00:54:53.000Uh, because it would be an attack on the freedom of the press, the First Amendment in our country, and Trump is a fascist and fascism is coming back.
00:57:12.000Well, I don't know if this means Summer of Love 2.0 definitively, but I'm hearing from a lot of the on-the-ground riot reporters that it feels like it's getting hot and it's going to be big.
00:57:22.000I mean, we were talking about this earlier.
00:57:25.000My inclination or my intuition is that there is not going to be a catalyst Like the George like the George Floyd situation that in that will involve the normies That's not to say Antifa won't be all riled up and doing things like doing things like this But this is this is typical Antifa behavior.
00:57:47.000This is the stuff that they normally do go in there Essentially, they just go in they harass, you know conservatives and stuff.
00:58:06.000They're also saving 20 years for one of them.
00:58:08.000A large protest happened in front of a Tesla facility and some guy got arrested for flashing the employee's eyes with a green laser.
00:58:15.000And so the police tracked the guy down, arrested him with the green laser.
00:58:18.000One of the employees, uh, three employees said that they were injured by it.
00:58:21.000They were, their, their, their eyes were blurry and that they were having headaches or whatever.
00:58:25.000One person left because he didn't want to be there while the protests were going on because they had flashed him in the eyes of the laser.
00:58:31.000Well, I still don't, I still don't get the sense that you're going to see large scale Antifa attacking, you know, the way that it was during the Summer of Love.
00:58:40.000Based on where we are right now, I don't see that.
00:58:45.000But I do believe, and I'm a free speech absolutist, I'm a Walter Brandeisian style free speech absolutist, that no one ever has a right to go and interrupt somebody else's protest.
00:59:06.000There's been around 20 or so attacks on Teslas and Tesla charging stations and there's an untold number of attacks on Tesla vehicles already.
00:59:58.000I don't see George Floyd-level protests without a more significant catalyst than we have now.
01:00:03.000If this was Trump's first administration, there would have been violence, in my estimation.
01:00:07.000But with Antifa coming up like this, I also think the Trump administration is cracking down on different kind of campus protests by withholding funding or trying to strip back funding from different campuses that are allowing stuff like this to occur.
01:00:20.000Obviously, Secretary of State Marco Rubio has been doing a good job getting anti-American, anti-leftists deported out of our country, stripping away visas from people like this.
01:00:30.000There was something I actually planned on inquiring with the administration about, and that's about mask bans at different protests for different reasons.
01:00:36.000In New York, on a part of Long Island, Bruce Blakeman actually banned masks at different protest events.
01:00:43.000Governor Kathy Hochul is considering this.
01:00:45.000Donald Trump would have the ability to ban masks at protests on D.C.
01:00:49.000We've seen people waving anti-American flag support for terrorism with their faces covered at these different events, and I think that's another aspect.
01:03:17.000There's one kind of speech I don't agree with.
01:03:19.000Well, I actually think it is kind of ironic considering TikTok is the most censorious platform available right now.
01:03:25.000I mean, from what I hear, they're asking us to point out anything we think is being censored so that they can- So it's elitist and censorious.
01:03:34.000I think that they actually advocate for the working class and provide small businesses with more opportunity than any other social media platform.
01:03:41.000You sound like you almost are a lobbyist on behalf of TikTok.
01:03:44.000Nope, I'm not a lobbyist on behalf of them.
01:06:34.000So, we then have to question what you mean by speech, because I certainly don't think you would agree with a man holding up a sign showing two adults having sex in front of children.
01:06:44.000I don't agree with their decision to do it.
01:06:46.000But I, again, Would I be the one screaming louder that they're idiots for doing it?
01:07:45.000School curriculums are not the same thing.
01:07:46.000Free speech is not the same thing as a school curriculum.
01:07:49.000So you would say, would you say to a school, do not put those books?
01:07:55.000Do not put those books, what, in a curriculum?
01:07:57.000Yeah. It's, as a parent, I would advocate.
01:07:59.000I think it's my duty to advocate for my kids.
01:08:01.000Would you take your kids out of the school if they were teaching that?
01:08:04.000If they were teaching what specifically?
01:08:05.000So in, in, uh, it was in Illinois- Just so you know, I did take my kids out of a school and move them to a school I'm more closely aligned with.
01:08:10.000In Illinois, there was a teacher who is showing, uh, 10 and 12 year olds a book called, quote, This Book is Gay.
01:09:36.000Our founding fathers created Our Bill of Rights, the First Amendment, when they created the Constitution and the amendments and everything that our country fought for.
01:09:44.000One, the First Amendment was first because it is the bedrock upon which all of our rights are built.
01:09:56.000Actually, there were 17 articles first proposed, which were whittled down to the 10 in the Bill of Rights.
01:10:02.000Some of them were combined, and the first, I believe, was actually was the salaries The final First Amendment was decided as the First Amendment and it was stated so because without the freedom of the press, without freedom of speech, we lose the ability to advocate in defense of the rest.
01:10:20.000Did you know that for almost the entirety of American history, blasphemy was illegal, obscenity was illegal, swearing in public was illegal?
01:10:28.000So the Founding Fathers did not believe what you're saying.
01:10:33.000But the argument that the Founding Fathers said the First Amendment is the most important only applied to the ideas they deemed acceptable.
01:10:39.000They actually didn't believe in free speech as you describe it.
01:10:42.000They thought that if a person went outside and said a swear, that they should be arrested.
01:10:47.000And in fact, up until the 70s, people were being arrested for swearing in public.
01:10:51.000Fortunately, they didn't write it in the First Amendment, thank heavens.
01:11:29.000And I'll defend it all the way, no matter how bad it is.
01:11:34.000My only point is that we've constantly had this argument about the Bill of Rights and the way things should be, but as we interpret almost all the Bill of Rights, first, the Ninth and Tenth Amendments are the least applied amendments in terms of any and every law.
01:11:49.000Let's just go ahead and say outright the Ninth and Tenth do not exist because there's no circumstance in which they're upheld.
01:12:10.000I really do think that we have some possibility there on some landmark cases that are working their way through.
01:12:14.000I don't know the specific cases, but it seems as though the needle has only been pushing towards the federal government between states' rights and the federal government.
01:12:22.000Actually, right now, One of the things you're seeing with Donald Trump in these tariffs, he talked about eliminating the income tax and going to a tariff-only system.
01:12:32.000When you gut the federal government and you no longer need to spend money on the federal government, tariffs might actually...
01:12:39.000When Trump talks about how we used to be very wealthy when we were only in a tariff system, at the same time, the government was itty-bitty.
01:12:48.000When Doge goes in and shuts everything down and fires all of these people, A lot of my followers absolutely hate my position on what's happening with the layoffs.
01:13:08.000First of all, my husband is a federal attorney.
01:13:10.000I'm somebody that could absolutely have a husband that loses her job.
01:13:16.000Nobody is mad when they look back and they see it in 1996 when Ross Perot ran and got 18.9% of the vote.
01:13:23.000It was so terrifying to both parties when he said he was going to slash the federal government by 90% and he was going to balance the budget.
01:13:31.000Both sides were so scared of the 19% of the vote that he got that President Clinton took office and his first day in office said fire 125,000 people.
01:13:46.000And that was the last time we had a balanced budget and a surplus.
01:13:48.000I think we're really missing the elephant in the room here.
01:13:50.000The reason why we're in so much debt is because of entitlements.
01:13:54.000And no matter how much Elon Musk cuts a doge or whatever reform, we could cut the employees of the government by half.
01:14:00.000But if we keep paying out Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare and other entitlement programs at the current rate that we are, given our population curve, the math just doesn't make sense.
01:14:09.000But it's also the third rail of politics.
01:14:10.000Donald Trump, President Donald Trump will not touch this because he will sink in the polls as a result of this.
01:14:15.000So I don't know where that really leads us.
01:14:18.000But I feel like in the conversation about our debt and people struggling in the future and interest rates rising, all of this is a function of the debt that we keep adding to.
01:14:27.000I think the end result of where we're going, I don't know what the probability is, but I think Social Security evaporates.
01:14:36.000So there's the Sam Seder argument versus the Tim Pool argument.
01:14:39.000And I'm being somewhat facetious, but that was the conversation we had.
01:14:42.000Sam Seder's argument, and I hope I'm getting this right, because as much as I think the guy is unlearned, his point was that Social Security is an economic driver.
01:14:51.000His point was not that elderly people need access to funds, but that when you give money to the elderly, they spend it creating economic stimulus.
01:14:59.000And that creates jobs and creates industry.
01:15:03.000So this large group of people Basically, take the money from them, give it to them, and they'll all spend it.
01:15:10.000My idea was people should take care of their parents.
01:15:13.000Parents take care of the babies, the babies take care of their parents when they get older.
01:15:16.000We shouldn't be relying on the government because the system is dysfunctional and will ultimately become, you know, maybe insolvent isn't the right word, but Social Security today can't actually help an older person live.
01:15:32.000There's no way you're living off Social Security.
01:15:34.000So my view is, Let's go back to a family-oriented society where the children take care of their parents when those parents get old.
01:15:41.000And if the parents have 10 babies, guess what?
01:15:43.000They don't got to worry about much because those 10 kids are going to be able to help take care of those two parents.
01:15:49.000So I think, based on what Trump is doing, there's a possibility to try and follow that route.
01:15:55.000Something to that effect where Social Security is gone.
01:16:00.000We're robbing Peter to pay Paul, and if we had a bigger population, it could potentially be fixed, but our population curve is also part of the issue at hand, because we have less people contributing, and it ends up being a huge Ponzi scheme, because I'm paying into a program that I will see no money from.
01:16:16.000I'd be better off holding that money and investing it myself.
01:16:19.000I mean, it is a Ponzi scheme, but the only way that we can practically Can you Revenue coming in
01:16:49.000and you will never tax rich people enough you tax all the rich people out of existence And you'll fund the government for six months.
01:16:55.000You will never be able to tax enough to pay the debt.
01:16:58.000You have to grow you have to Incentivize economic activity.
01:17:02.000That's the only I hope that's how we get there But I fear that our payments down on our interest is gonna you know outpace what we'd spend on defense It doesn't it.
01:17:12.000Well, I mean the God forbid I mean it look it doesn't do it It's not whether or not we hope.
01:17:22.000We we have a and like just going with what Tim just said and like the the possibility of going back to a family oriented society or a tribal society where we take care of each other.
01:17:31.000The problem that we have right now with that even being plausible is that we have two generations in a row that can't take care of themselves.
01:17:38.000They could never take care of their parents.
01:17:40.000Never. Unless we figure out how to right this ship with the vast and disparate wealth inequality we have in America with the wrong bell curve with the reduction in birth rate with the How do you think we should address so-called income inequality?
01:18:07.000And we have taken the onus away because of the vast monopolization and consolidation of our industries.
01:18:15.000The further we've removed corporations and their headquarters from the communities they serve, which is a natural byproduct of sort of the crony capitalism we're living under right now.
01:18:23.000But the more we've removed it, the less onus we have to reinvest anything.
01:18:27.000I believe that we've incentivized the wrong types of investment in corporations, and we have to right that.
01:18:32.000So how do you want to address income inequality specifically?
01:18:34.000Specifically? Because I hear this coming from the left.
01:18:42.000What I believe is we need to change the way we incentivize corporations.
01:18:44.000We need to re-incentivize business development at the small business level.
01:18:50.000Right now, the SBA is really the only chance that small business has to get equity and it's actually pretty hard to do.
01:18:57.000Right now, banks won't give loans to actual small businesses.
01:19:00.000They give all their loans to big businesses.
01:19:02.000So it's getting harder and harder to start or create entrepreneurship, which reduces competition.
01:19:06.000But at the same time, we've incentivized tax breaks for doing terrible things to communities.
01:19:11.000We've incentivized tax breaks for paying low wages.
01:19:13.000We've incentivized tax breaks for offshoring labor.
01:19:16.000What we should be doing is incentivizing tax breaks for those that reinvest in businesses here, that reinvest in better wages, that reinvest in...
01:19:41.000But I have not had a single meeting with a sit-down, die-hard, anti-regulatory libertarian that learned what I learned about- Well, they're not serious in any serious political way.
01:19:49.000Policy, they have no influence in government.
01:19:54.000I have not had a single sit-down with a serious anti-regulatory libertarian that didn't learn from me what I have learned about where our crony capitalism is that didn't, at the end of that conversation, No, no,
01:20:32.000no. It is at all times, as a mathematical endeavor, trying to get as close to slavery as it can, the most production for the least amount of output.
01:21:54.000The precedent is, a company must work towards the shareholder benefit, not their employees or company or community.
01:22:02.000So what that turns into is, the company is incentivized, technically required, you can make the argument, I offered $100,000 a year for this job, and they took it.
01:22:17.000The boss then says, you could have gotten them for 50.
01:22:56.000Okay, so in free market capitalism, free market capitalism requires absolute transparency and the ability of the market to respond to bad behavior.
01:23:04.000But when we hide bad behavior when we hide that accountability and when we incentivize when we've over Consolidated because we're not enforcing our antitrust laws.
01:23:14.000We're not enforcing our anti-monopoly laws Okay, the market is not free to act when there is not unfettered competition Which we have allowed competition to be squeezed out in most of our industries.
01:23:24.000Look at the tech sector Okay, we just talked about Apple at the beginning of this and now Apple hasn't had an actual innovation in 20x Great product.
01:23:34.000They're a successful company because people buy and like their products.
01:24:02.000Companies like Apple will, and I'm not going to say Apple specifically, although I do believe they have instances where they've done this, will go to a business and say, how much do you spend on your electronics?
01:24:14.000And they'll say, our budget is a million bucks a year.
01:24:17.000They'll say, we'll get you everything you need.
01:25:14.000You think the market has the information they need to actually act right now.
01:25:16.000You think regulators who could be elected, could be unelected.
01:25:19.000It's just random people should decide, right?
01:25:22.000We should have people have fixed prices.
01:25:23.000I want to finish what I was saying about what's happening.
01:25:25.000No, you guys aren't hearing what you're saying.
01:25:27.000The tech companies right now, the way that they have stifled actual innovation, why we haven't seen real innovation in decades, is because they literally go to the universities and fund their think tanks.
01:25:38.000And when anybody has a fellowship to go into their think tanks that's actually creating an innovative product, they have to sign it away with the intellectual property on entry to the think tanks.
01:25:48.000Everything from the Wharton School to MIT to UC Davis and everywhere in between.
01:25:52.000These people are extremely innovative.
01:25:54.000All these companies are extremely innovative, though.
01:25:56.000And they're explaining a situation that's not accurate to the situation on the ground.
01:25:59.000They are acquiring any possibly disruptive technology before it could ever hit the market.
01:26:07.000They get ownership of the intellectual property before it ever gets there.
01:26:10.000Look at the case right now that Trump initiated in his first term against Google for their anti-competitive practices and the way that they were stifling innovation.
01:27:55.000No, I'm saying they don't do the job that they purport to do.
01:27:59.000Ten minutes ago, you were just doggling Libertarians, and now you're the guy that's defending the Libertarian position against the two people that are saying there should be regulation.
01:28:09.00010 minutes ago you were talking libertarian.
01:28:12.000You don't know how I became famous on TikTok at all.
01:28:30.000If I'm allowed to deceive people in order to make money, do you think that would be a market advantage?
01:28:35.000People say you— People allege you do deceive people for money already, though.
01:28:56.000Do you think then in a free market that operates this way that the biggest corporations would end up being those that use deception?
01:29:02.000Well, I think the people in the marketplace, yes, but I think people in the marketplace would be able to overcome that fraud because I think people are savvy.
01:29:24.000So then why is it that those bounce bracelet companies Um, I don't even- Why- Can you repeat the question?
01:29:37.000Why didn't it shut- Why didn't people not buy them?
01:29:42.000I think if they wanted to sell the balance bracelets, and people were stupid enough to buy them, and you're a stupid customer, then you should be able to buy their stupid balance bracelet, actually.
01:29:54.000Having an advantage in the marketplace, companies that operate through deception will likely monopolize.
01:29:59.000They will become the most powerful corporations.
01:30:02.000I don't think they'll become the most powerful corporations through fraud, because I think consumers are savvy and they'll be able to see through the fraud.
01:30:08.000But they couldn't even detect that a piece of rubber wasn't giving them superpowers?
01:30:11.000No, they could, but it's only a small part of the market.
01:30:14.000You're gonna find some morons in every marketplace to sell stupid stuff to, so...
01:30:17.000So do you think pharmaceuticals can just A drug company can be like, sure, this pill will make your dick bigger.
01:31:03.000I don't know what each and every drug does, but I think melatonin is supposed to help you with changing some brain chemistry, help you go to sleep.
01:31:14.000But aren't drugs doing the same thing?
01:31:20.000Supplements are largely not regulated.
01:31:22.000Do you think they should be regulated more?
01:31:23.000Yeah, but in GNC you could pick up almost.
01:31:25.000I used to pick Jack 3D up from back in GNC back in the day.
01:31:27.000I think drugs and supplements should be regulated to a certain degree and we'll constantly review, but you're the anti-regulation person, which is why I'm asking.
01:31:33.000Not on drugs in particular, but I think we really go in off-track.
01:31:37.000You mentioned that we need police because people need to be protected.
01:31:41.000Do you understand that the only laws in the United States, the only laws that our government has decided, that all of our laws No, I didn't.
01:32:05.000because they committed a crime in antitrust law.
01:32:09.000No, but can you repeat that one more time?
01:32:11.000Yes. Just so I could hear it more clearly.
01:32:13.000The only laws in the United States that have a criminal element, that are criminally enforceable, that Americans can bring without the aid of a DOJ or anybody else or antitrust laws, because it was deemed so dangerous to our economic model for monopoly
01:33:02.000Because our free market economy has been so blinded and corrupted by the abuse that has infiltrated the regulators that we're supposed to keep the guardrails on.
01:33:11.000But you're suggesting your solution, as I understand, right, is more regulation?
01:33:14.000You haven't let me finish a single solution yet.
01:33:16.000I know, because you go in circles and don't really say anything in what you say.
01:33:19.000I'm trying to get you to say something specific.
01:33:22.000Let me give you one specific example that would be required for the free market to work that does not exist right now.
01:33:28.000Can you give me an example of a regulation you want to see changed?
01:33:31.000I want to see the Federal Arbitration Act changed.
01:33:35.000I want to see the Federal Arbitration Act changed.
01:33:37.000In order for a free market economy to exist, we have to be able to see the bad behavior, and then the general idea is that if they're doing bad things, defrauding people, or they're hurting kids, or they're poisoning people, we bring massive lawsuits, and that fixes it, and people protest, and then the company stops because of it.
01:34:02.000Yes. Because I always see the most ridiculous lawsuits against corporations.
01:34:05.000That's because most of them have been suppressed in the free market economy so that we can't bring them anymore.
01:34:10.000So like, for example, I know this will be a ridiculous example, but McDonald's, there was hot coffee once that was spilled on one of the ladies and she ended up suing McDonald's.
01:34:19.000That was a little bit different because they'd actually overheated it and it's been spotted.
01:34:22.000Exactly, but you're making it sound like we can't ever sue corporations.
01:34:29.000Our laws have been so bastardized by the removal of guardrails that the Federal Arbitration Act has allowed corporations to do unconscionable things, and we are not allowed to bring a court case that would allow us to let the free market know that unconscionable things are taking place.
01:34:47.000It is getting hidden in secret courtrooms where no one can see.
01:34:50.000They all have Class parameters that make it so we can't bring class actions anymore, so we can't work together to afford to bring the cases, and so bad things, terrible things, deaths, horrible maimings are happening every day in America at the hands of these corporations and none of us know about it because it is hidden in secret courtrooms and we can't bring class action lawsuits.
01:35:43.000The reason I went to TikTok, the reason I became this person, I used to be a baby music teacher, as I was the head of a union that was targeted by a private equity firm and forced into one of those secret courtrooms.
01:35:53.000In my secret courtroom, I don't know if you know this, the Federal Arbitration Act that is forcing 1.4 million Americans a year into secret court cases that they don't choose.
01:36:03.000says that these judges that are paid $50,000 a week by big corporations to rule in their favor, these judges don't have to follow the law.
01:36:13.000I'm just sorry, just so I want to understand.
01:36:14.000They're arbitration courts that are run by two companies, JAMS and the American Arbitration Association.
01:36:20.000And these courtrooms have been so bastardized to not allow Americans to see the bad behavior of corporations without their knowledge that they're being forced into secret courtrooms where they can't talk to the press, where they can't appeal, where they can't We're good to go.
01:36:20.000These courtrooms have been so bastardized to not allow Americans to see the bad behavior of corporations without their knowledge that they're being forced into secret courtrooms where they can't talk to the press, where they can't appeal, where they can't actually seek an enforcement of any law.
01:36:34.000And they're allowed to make up the law.
01:36:40.000And when they do, you're not allowed to go to an appellate court and demand that that judge be held accountable for breaking the law in their decisions.
01:36:47.000In my court case, where I was a baby music teacher, a law firm was allowed, and I say this very rarely.
01:36:56.000I became famous on the cover of the New York Times and the New York Post because my arbitration case, a private equity firm called DLA Piper, was allowed to file motions to force me to have an abortion against my will so I could be produced faster for a deposition.
01:37:12.000A deposition they could have waited two weeks for.
01:37:15.000They were allowed to file motions to compel me to expedite the scheduling of an abortion against my will.
01:37:25.000They compelled you in this court to expedite your abortion?
01:37:28.000I've never heard of something like this.
01:37:42.000If you violate a court order, they can hold you in contempt and you can be locked up.
01:37:47.000They tried to put me in prison last year, too.
01:37:50.000Wow. And so there's no longer a gag order on this, obviously?
01:37:53.000I won my defamation case against them after they sent a bunch of letters to people saying I was abusing children, and then sent six letters to the New York Times saying I was running a drug trafficking ring at my baby gym.
01:38:02.000Wow. And still a free speech absolutist after all that.
01:38:53.000Well, I think, more specifically, I think medicine people, things that we are marketing to people to help cure different ailments that they have, and usually are prescribed by doctors, for medicine specifically.
01:39:27.000So drugs are over-inclusive, but I think once you pass a certain amount of harm for a specific drug to do that is supposed to heal you and cure your ailments, that needs to be regulated differently than What about topical creams?
01:39:44.000You know, on the specifics I'm not too sure.
01:39:46.000It depends on what the topical cream is.
01:39:47.000Because some ointments are, you know, need to be prescribed and some don't.
01:39:50.000Healing rashes and preventing infections.
01:40:04.000could... Lay their hands off a bit and focus on drugs more.
01:40:07.000Well, they don't do a good job at doing it in the drug market either.
01:40:10.000So I, again, they're lulling people into a false sense of security as part of the issue here.
01:40:14.000You would include, like, certain ointments and creams that can affect the body and potentially cause harm if used improperly, but aren't drugs.
01:40:21.000I feel like it would have to be a drug to do that.
01:40:54.000So again, drug is kind of a spectrum, if you will.
01:40:59.000So, okay, the point is, Elad, I'm gonna say this before we go to our chats.
01:41:03.000You're literally just saying there are some products that are not drugs that need to be regulated, and the FTC should do that, which is a contradiction to your earlier position about the FTC.
01:41:13.000I think the FTC has too much power here, and Elon Musk would be fine by cutting half of them.
01:41:19.000I don't think they do half of the job that they purport to do, and I think the regulations that...
01:41:24.000Tiffany was alluding to are actually counterproductive.
01:42:03.000They're owned by a private equity firm called Unleashed Brands and Seidler Private Equity.
01:42:07.000And in this case, this little girl went to this park where they have a zip line that buzzes around the room.
01:42:13.000Okay. And it's 30 feet off the floor over concrete floors and metal tables.
01:42:17.000That's three stories, sometimes four stories in some of their parks.
01:42:20.000Okay. And I'm being called to testify right now in this case, because this little girl fell off this zip line and broke half the bones in her body and got permanent brain damage.
01:42:27.000The problem is that when her mom took her to that park, she signed her in on an iPad at the front to say, Hey, we're here for a birthday party.
01:42:35.000And they walked inside, not realizing that buried underneath that iPad language was a to bring a lawsuit, forcing them into a secret arbitration court, and at the same time, stopping them from bringing a class action with anyone else while simultaneously giving them a gag order, a confidentiality agreement, and a non-disparagement clause.
01:42:55.000Okay? What she didn't know, this little girl or her mom, is that it was happening in dozens of these urban air parks all across the United States.
01:43:04.000And the reason no one knew is because everyone signed in on those iPads.
01:43:07.000You shouldn't need a lawyer to go to a birthday party.
01:43:10.000You shouldn't be able to abuse our legal system that way.
01:43:13.000And so all of these people were being horribly maimed or getting internally decapitated at their kid's party, swinging around ziplines from the ceiling like a ceiling fan.
01:43:22.000Okay? And this little girl, she is permanently changed.
01:43:31.000And in my court case, I was sent a huge stack of files from a whistleblower that showed their CEO received a warning that this was going to happen.
01:43:40.000He was told, if you cut those harness checkers to save on your EBITDA for another cash infusion, these kids are gonna get hurt.
01:43:55.000In a free market economy, the world would have known.
01:43:58.000People would be protesting outside Urban Heirs all across America and outside Unleashed Brand's headquarters in Bedford, Texas, while Michael Browning sat inside, worried he was going to lose his business.
01:44:08.000But they aren't, because these kinds of legal agreements that circumvent the free market have blinded it.
01:44:16.000And without guardrails, we can never have a free market again.
01:44:20.000Ever. And people like Mia Hall will continue to get penalized, and they will lose their lives and their futures, and people like Michael Browning will continue to become multi-millionaires.

01:46:12.000Yep. Kenneth Ard says, if daughter is watching The Next Generation for the first time and sure she watches Star Trek 6, The Undiscovered Country, tell her the frozen Klingon planet is Greenland and that's why Trump bought it, the drumhead episode for the win.
01:46:26.000Star Trek The Next Generation is the best show ever.
01:46:29.000And funny trivia, Patrick Stewart, his agent, when he pitched it to him, He was like a seven-year deal or something like that, like some multi-year deal.
01:46:38.000And his agent was like, it's gonna get cancelled in a year, just sign the deal.
01:46:42.000And then he was locked into the highest rated show at the time.
01:49:11.000Okay. You know your Pokemon stuff, huh?
01:49:15.000Well, so when I was yeah, I have a much younger brother and when I moved out of the house when I was growing up That was the one thing we could do was like when games would first start playing on the internet together And so I would play that early Pokemon snap game and then we would do like Pokemon red and Pokemon pearl like my little brother Made me like Pokemon and now me and my eight-year-old son play Pokemon.
01:49:35.000There you go And I'm really good friends with...
01:51:37.000Well, I don't either so because I don't want to order a whole pie.
01:51:40.000It's nice It's it is funny though when people are like, oh in Chicago, you have deep dish and it's like we don't eat that It's it's for you.
01:51:47.000And then people think they're eating Chicago food people in Chicago.
01:51:51.000Don't eat that We eat little square pizzas little squares.
01:51:57.000That's the way to do it But do this is good, you know, sometimes like you it's like maybe a once-a-year thing you might do well It's like a family thing because you're not gonna take a whole Deep dish pizza bro.
01:52:06.000I ate a whole pizzeria uno's deep dish like three months ago.
01:52:11.000I Am no problem That's why I'm like, I don't know.
01:52:16.000I'm I am a I am a vacuous pit I can you I'm not kidding if we go to who knows give me a pepperoni Large deep dish I'm eating the whole thing The only the only kind of pizza I get down with that's not like I'm not a pizza girl.
01:52:29.000I'm just not but I love really thin crust, like really Italian style pizza.
01:52:33.000Like I want it to like, like fold in my hand, but be crispy on the bottom.
01:53:06.000All right, Russell W. says, my handmade ring biz has been suffering from cheap import rings from overseas markets drowning me out of the market.
01:54:59.000Particularly in this context, it is completely acceptable to vote against Kamala Harris.
01:55:05.000Right. I think a lot of internet libertarians also projected what they wanted to see onto Trump and gave themselves a false sense of reality completely different from what Trump actually is.
01:55:15.000So when they see him doing stuff there, they're all confused.
01:55:19.000And if you paid attention during the first term, or paid attention to anything he's really said or done, this shouldn't come as a surprise to anybody.
01:55:26.000My first live stream with Trump was at the Libertarian National Convention when he came and spoke, and he said there were several issues he was going to talk to me about.
01:55:34.000He made a promise he would address like six specific things.
01:55:37.000One of them was freeing Ross Albrecht, which he did, and Libertarians seem very excited about that, but he ignored Gabriel Shepton.
01:55:44.000And trying to address WikiLeaks and all of the whistleblowers.
01:55:50.000And I think he made a good pitch to them at the Libertarian National Convention that was convincing on a lot of those issues.
01:55:56.000And he has changed his mind about some of that.
01:57:15.000I mean, look, if you're going to lose $60 billion over a year because you're China, They're gonna say, okay, let's build an artificial island, put the products there, put up a flag, and then say the products came from there.
01:58:18.000He didn't have to put a tariff on the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, so...
01:58:22.000All right, Sterling Wilson III says, Am I wrong in thinking that more manufacturing makes more jobs, which allows more people to get taxed, allowing U.S. worker personnel income taxes to drop?
01:58:37.000If I was running a business that sold coffee, I would rather sell at a 1% margin a million bags a week, as opposed to having a massive margin but having to sell, you know, only a hundred bags.
01:58:51.000So what happens is, for smaller businesses, they need to make more money to survive.
01:58:56.000Let's say you're, you know, a little Israeli salad distributor, Eilat Eliyahu.
01:59:07.000How much does he have to sell the salads for to make a living?
01:59:10.000Well, he's got to pay his rent, he's got to buy the materials, so he's going to need maybe, you know, 500 bucks at least a week, and that's bare minimum, which is barely going to cover rent in a big city.
01:59:19.000So if he's working on the razor-thin margins for his own personal costs, those salads are going to be expensive.
01:59:25.000But let's say a lot gets it up to a million salads per week.
01:59:29.000If you made only a dollar off each salad, you're making a million bucks a week.
01:59:32.000You could actually make ten cents off of each salad instead.
01:59:36.000Your profit margin could literally be a dime, and you're gonna be pulling in a hundred K a week.
01:59:41.000So, the more people we tax, the more money the U.S. makes, and then the economic activity, all of it will end up in the hands of the government, 100%.
02:00:09.000Jacob Jones says, perhaps the penguins are highly intelligent and advanced and have been very good trade partners to the US, hence why it's only a 10% tariff.
02:00:17.000Well, I don't know if I'm supposed to say this, but in my interview with Trump, he did mention to me off-camera that there is an island where a highly advanced civilization of penguins have created a barrier so that no one can see through it.
02:00:29.000Unfortunately, one of the penguins actually developed a headband which gave him psychic powers to mind control people, and now he's at odds with the Justice League.
02:00:42.000You kind of look like you have the penguin colors with your sweater being kind of white in the right areas and then black Maybe I'm friends with the penguins.
02:00:50.000That's why we've been talking a lot about this.
02:01:10.000I am telling you, it is illegal to communicate with dolphins in our country.
02:01:14.000So that's why- Did you know that there was a woman that was living in a house that was semi-flooded with a dolphin and the dolphin was trying to get some from her?
02:01:31.000You get on X-Men, you learn a whole bunch of stuff.
02:01:33.000I don't know if that was a sales pitch.
02:01:35.000It's like, remember that line from the Dark Knight where Scarecrow, the mobsters are like, your drugs are, look what they're doing to our people.
02:01:43.000And he says, I told you my drug would take you places.
02:01:46.000I never said they'd be places you wanted to go.
