Trump threatens to arrest an ICE agent in order to keep an eye on New York City, a conspiracy theory about the Trump administration executing illegal immigrants, and more! Today's episode of the Bull Market Talk podcast is all about silver and what it means for the future of the economy.
00:02:44.000There haven't been too many developments, and we may be waiting until Friday when no one's going to be paying attention to see if it actually makes it through the House, of which, I'm going to say it again, I don't think it will.
00:02:55.000There are some developments there, but not a whole lot to go on to lead off tonight's episode.
00:02:59.000So we're going to go with Donald Trump threatening to arrest Zoran Mamdani because he has talked about obstructing ICE from doing their job in New York, to which I have said any politician that is obstructing by force the enforcement of the law should be charged with seditious conspiracy, which specifically states that if you're trying to obstruct the enforcement of law, that's a seditious conspiracy.
00:03:23.000But unfortunately for us, conservatives tend to be a little weak.
00:03:26.000And the general argument is, oh, no one would ever do that.
00:03:28.000The law is not going to be used that way.
00:03:48.000There is a conspiracy theory right now with millions of views on the left that Donald Trump, kid you not, is loading up cargo planes full of illegal immigrants, flying over the Atlantic, dumping them out of the plane, and then returning.
00:04:06.000There are numerous videos on TikTok, on Instagram, on X with millions of views where the users are showing flight patterns, showing stories out of Mayorca where dead bodies were found shackled, and they are claiming the Trump admin is extrajudicially engaging in executions of illegal immigrants.
00:04:29.000Not the B has the story, so we'll definitely talk about that.
00:04:31.000But before we get started, my friends, we've got a great sponsor.
00:04:42.000I bought it a while ago, as well as gold, because I was concerned about what's going on with inflation.
00:04:48.000To me, you take a look at the value of the dollar over the past hundred years, and it becomes kind of obvious that the dollar just keeps dying.
00:04:54.000Right now with the Big Beautiful Bill, what are they saying?
00:04:58.000And most of us agree, even those who know the bill's got to pass, this deficit spending is going to be really, really bad for the value of the dollar.
00:05:06.000It's going to strip the buying power from the American people.
00:05:09.000So that's just one reason I'm a big fan of silver.
00:05:12.000Not to mention, of course, you guys, let's talk about technology.
00:05:18.000With what's going on in the development of AI electric vehicles, silver is definitely a major component of this.
00:05:23.000So all of these tech, it's increasing, it's driving a massive demand for silver, especially AI.
00:05:29.000Some of the biggest technological shifts in our lifetime, silver is essential to making it work.
00:05:33.000Since 2020, silver prices have jumped as much as 190%, and it's still trading at what many experts are calling bargain prices.
00:05:40.000So right now, some say we're in a multi-year, I believe we are in a multi-year deficit.
00:05:46.000And all of the AI stuff that's popping up in every company trying to win this race, especially with, once again, the big beautiful bill, how they were trying to get that 10-year block on any state trying to regulate it.
00:05:57.000The expectation is they're going to be buying up as much as they can to build this up.
00:06:03.000Some analysts are warning the ongoing deficit could turn to a full-blown shortage.
00:06:07.000Robert Kiyosaki, the guy behind Rich Dad Poor Dad, thinks it could double or even triple by the end of 2025.
00:06:13.000So if you guys are serious and you want to learn more about this, get ahead of the curve, I recommend you guys check out Leader Capital, L-E-A-R, Capital.
00:06:20.000They've got a free report out called the AI Revolution, and it breaks down exactly why silver prices are primed to soar.
00:06:48.000They're going to be fun, funny, informative.
00:06:50.000Live tapings of the Culture War podcast.
00:06:53.000Now, we haven't confirmed the talent and the debate topics for the 26th or August 9th, but on August 2nd, Michael Malice, Angry Cops, two very funny men debating the issue of policing.
00:07:05.000I will be there hosting along with Alex Stein.
00:07:07.000We've got just over 100 or so tickets remaining, so definitely go and check them out.
00:07:11.000That's going to be, of course, August 2nd.
00:08:41.000So Trump, there are many people questioning Zaran Mamdani's citizenship because they're arguing he lied on his immigration and naturalization forms by claiming he did not support terrorism when he was rapping that he did, this certain group that was charged over it.
00:08:58.000But he then goes on to threaten to arrest him over ICE operations.
00:09:02.000And this is exactly what I voted for, calling him a nut job.
00:09:08.000The president continued to allege the 33-year-old Democratic socialist is a communist while talking to reporters Tuesday at the new so-called alligator Alcatraz migrant detention center in Florida's Everglades.
00:09:20.000When asked by a reporter what his message is to Mamdani, after he said in a victory speech following the New York City Democratic mayor primary that he would stop masked ICE agents from deporting our neighbors, Trump responded, well, then we'll have to arrest them.
00:09:33.000Look, we don't need a communist in this country, but if we have one, I'm going to be watching over him very carefully on behalf of the nation.
00:09:39.000Trump also referenced false claims that Mamdani's in the country illegally.
00:09:43.000He said, a lot of people are saying he's here illegally.
00:10:03.000Bill de Blasio vows to organize human shield if Trump seeks to arrest Zoran Mamdani over promised ICE actions should he become mayor.
00:10:13.000He said Donald Trump will have to go through a lot of us first if he wants to arrest Zoran Mamdani, to which my response is, the seditious conspiracy law says that if you use force to stop the U.S. from enforcing its laws, you too are guilty of a seditious conspiracy.
00:10:26.000So I think by virtue of him saying this, lock him up.
00:10:46.000I think that this back and forth between Trump, I wish that Trump wouldn't engage because it's only raising Mamdani's profile.
00:10:56.000I mean, it's already a bad thing, but the way that the reaction throughout the media has been about Momdani getting, you know, winning the nomination, I wish that people would just kind of be like, yeah, okay, cool, and let it go.
00:11:11.000But I don't think that the Republicans have that in them.
00:11:16.000They're going to look to attack him, even though he is just a mayor of, even though it's the biggest city, it's still only a city.
00:11:53.000And I said, you know, I think Trump threatening to arrest Zarin Mamdani is pretty big because this is the action we've been waiting to see.
00:12:02.000Admittedly, however, based on social media trends and just kind of how I feel about it, we're in a weird place where it feels kind of uneventful that Trump is threatening to lock up a potential mayor of New York City.
00:12:15.000Rhett McIver has already been charged.
00:12:17.000And we've got this big fraud case where 324 people were charged.
00:12:22.000It feels weird that it's not the most alarming thing in the country that Trump is saying he will arrest a mayor.
00:12:30.000I just think that we should arrest and deport anyone who eats rice with their hands.
00:13:04.000It's just, it's such a silly, the back and forth between Trump and Mamdani is going to be, it's going to be three years or the next three years of annoying back and forth.
00:13:15.000It's just going to be silly and kind of dumb.
00:13:18.000And all it's going to do is make Momdani the poster child for the left.
00:13:39.000I think the probability that Trump arrests Mom Dani or goes into New York by force and starts shutting down components of their government, I think there's actually a very strong probability he does this.
00:13:48.000I think we should hope that he does because to hit on your point, what you're noticing is that the left is good at winning and you win by winning.
00:13:58.000And conservatives usually fall back on this principle thing.
00:14:01.000They love going out and getting a win.
00:14:03.000They love to fall back and lose on principle.
00:14:07.000Which is, I mean, it's absolutely awful because if you don't win, you have no ability to institute your policies.
00:14:15.000And we were talking about this last night or whatever.
00:14:17.000Like you have to win in order to, or you have to use power when you have it because you know that the left is going to, they've shown over and over and over that when they get into the position of power, they're going to use it, even to their own detriment.
00:14:31.000Like the changing of the rules that ended up allowing McConnell to put, you know, put conservative justice or allowing the McConnell to make sure that the Republicans could put conservative justice on.
00:14:42.000They still exercise power when they have it.
00:14:45.000And the Republicans, honestly, they need to do that more.
00:14:47.000There is a mosquito flying around in here.
00:14:49.000And I will give one silver coin to anybody who gets it.
00:15:01.000Anyway, you don't think that this is the type of thing where Trump addressing it more and more raises this guy's profile more than it needs to be raised?
00:15:09.000I mean, giving a guy who benefits from airtime more airtime for something, especially if you're not going to act on this.
00:15:14.000If you're not going to go in and arrest this guy, just...
00:16:00.000I am done with this argument of let Democrats be evil and burn our country to the ground.
00:16:05.000Otherwise, people will find out they exist.
00:16:07.000If there are evil people in New York that will defend a guy for being evil, then it's better we just get it over with, arrest them, lock them up when they break the law, and then we've got to deal with a population of evil people.
00:16:19.000And also, as far as Raisin's profile, I understand the concern there, but he's going to be the mayor of the biggest city in the world or a country, you know, and it's like a cultural capital.
00:16:28.000He's going to be in the news either way.
00:16:30.000I mean, this guy's going to be front and center whether you arrest him or not.
00:16:43.000I was trying to come across, you know, trying to relate to the third world, but he's the mayor or going to be likely going to be the mayor of the capitalism capital of planet Earth.
00:16:53.000But when did he eat the rice with his hands?
00:18:17.000You know, CNN had this article up in February that said Trump's agenda will fail because white people don't have babies.
00:18:22.000Like the fact that the dude can publicly say, vote for me and we will tax white people shows you what happens with this demographic change.
00:18:31.000Even CNN made the point, demographics is destiny.
00:18:51.000And so you get the American colonies, largely of white people, saying, we're going to create a country, accepting of different races and multiculturalism under the umbrella of an ideology.
00:19:04.000You end up with people like Clarence Thomas, who's based AF, and he's a black guy.
00:19:07.000It's not about being white, because certainly Clarence Thomas is the best of us.
00:19:12.000But when you import from the third world, it doesn't matter if they're white or brown people.
00:19:17.000They come from a country that doesn't have our values.
00:19:19.000That will outnumber the values of the Americans.
00:19:25.000Yeah, it's more to do with your actual love of the country.
00:19:29.000I sent you an article the other day about Gen Z as the lowest sense of national pride of any prior generation, which isn't hard to understand, right?
00:19:37.000They've been chipping away at that as far as the media and pop culture and everything.
00:19:41.000They've been chipping away at the idea of being proud of being an American for a very, very long time.
00:19:46.000But now you're seeing kind of between that chipping away of actual born citizens' pride and then immigration.
00:19:54.000And then there's just no sense of cultural American identity anymore.
00:19:58.000It's like when they talk about America, like white people don't have culture.
00:20:34.000Well, the Postmoneyo writes it, but they bury the lead.
00:20:38.000Thomas Massey is saying that there are probably 10 no's at the moment, meaning the Trump Big Beautiful bill will likely fail.
00:20:48.000So they say the Congressional Budget Office estimates the bill would add roughly 3.3 trillion to the federal debt over the next decade.
00:20:53.000One of the most vocal critics has been Rep Thomas Massey of Kentucky, a fiscal conservative who opposes the bill's size and lack of spending cuts.
00:20:59.000Massey confirmed the next Wednesday that there are probably 10 no's at the moment among House Republicans.
00:21:05.000The GOP has a narrow 220 to 212 majority in the House.
00:22:20.000Yeah, but I really do think that there's a deep state.
00:22:23.000The deep state is bigger than people realize.
00:22:26.000And Congress is just smoke and mirrors.
00:22:29.000That's why Al Green doesn't really get censured.
00:22:31.000That's why Mike Johnson didn't do anything about it.
00:22:33.000I think the whole thing is just one big magic act.
00:22:38.000Zinke kind of alluded to that on a podcast I was listening to today.
00:22:42.000He was saying, Congressman Zinke from Montana, he was saying that he knew that the deep state was real and that it was a swamp, but he didn't realize how big the deep state was.
00:22:52.000And he said something to the effect of, I thought I needed hip waiters, but what I really needed was a boat when I got there.
00:22:58.000So he's kind of saying the same thing as what you are.
00:23:01.000Like, why is Mike Johnson bringing all the Democrat bills to the floor, but not the Republican, not the MAGA ones?
00:23:11.000Which particular revision that happened in the Senate is the one that's holding people up now?
00:23:16.000Because as far as I understand, the spending didn't change from the bill that got passed in the first reconciliation sent up to the Senate.
00:23:22.000The spending levels were the same, right?
00:23:26.000There were goodies that were placed in it for conservatives, like the Hearing Protection Act and the Short Act.
00:23:31.000And I believe that's largely gutted now.
00:23:33.000Yeah, it's only they've removed, they've made the tax $0, but you still have to register and stuff.
00:23:41.000And we will save a little bit more on this, but the update on the gambling provision is that the parliamentarian added in a poison pill, which I think nukes the bill no matter what, or destroys the Republicans' chance of winning in the midterms.
00:23:56.000So we'll get more to that, but basically, there have been changes made to it at the Senate level where you're going to get a ton of Republicans to be like, absolutely not.
00:24:06.000I mean, personally, I like that because I want to see the bill made into the best piece of legislation that it can be.
00:24:16.000I know it's going to be a lot of garbage.
00:24:29.000I don't want to see illegal aliens getting Medicare or Medicaid.
00:24:33.000I don't want to see the United States continue to have policies that attract illegal aliens, that make it attractive to come here illegally.
00:24:43.000I want to see changes that make it more difficult and that disincentivizes.
00:24:50.000But I think that it's going to get passed eventually.
00:24:54.000And I don't know what it will look like when it does.
00:24:56.000So the other day, the news source that we had pulled up said they needed 218 votes.
00:25:01.000But NBC says the first time it passed, it was 215 to 214, just a simple majority of the sitting of the available House members, not the three vacancies because Democrats had passed, had died.
00:25:12.000So I'm wondering if it's actually they can, if they lose five votes, because right now it's 220 to 212.
00:25:19.000So there's a certain amount of votes they can lose.
00:25:42.000But if you have 50 million, I'm just throwing a number out there that I've seen.
00:25:45.000If you have 50 million people and some percentage of that is illegally collecting benefits off of there, I mean, you're reducing your spending just by getting rid of those.
00:25:54.000Do we have the estimated number on the getting illegal immigrants off of Medicaid?
00:26:03.000I've also talked to a person inside the government that told me that they have better estimates of how many illegals are here than they put out in public.
00:26:12.000I have no idea if that's true, but I had a person tell me that.
00:26:14.000I just say we should get rid of all entitlements.
00:27:25.000And I think what's going to happen is the estimates on Social Security are that it's going to reach the point where it can only pay out what goes in.
00:27:35.000And so benefits will be reduced to around 70 or so percent.
00:27:40.000Considering, however, that people are living longer and you need between two and four workers to fund one social security recipient, and Gen Alpha is only 40 million people.
00:27:53.000I don't think there will be enough workers to fund even 70%.
00:27:58.000So the system just buckles and collapses.
00:28:00.000So, to all the boomers out there saying, Well, but I paid into it, so it's mine.
00:28:04.000I'd be like, Listen, you can't own something that does not exist.
00:28:10.000I mean, even if even if we had replacement numbers for the population that still wouldn't be able to take care of all the entitlements, and so now that there's a shrinking population that millennials are smaller than boomers and Gen Z is a smaller generation than millennials, it's going to fail.
00:28:29.000It's just a matter of when and how does that look?
00:28:32.000How does that look like when it actually fails?
00:28:35.000So, well, what they'll do is they'll probably try to print their way out of it, which means it's going to be inflation, which means that the dollars that people get that are on fixed income, that are on Social Security, those dollars are going to be able to buy less.
00:28:46.000And that means that people that are expecting Social Security to pay for them, they're not going to be able to.
00:28:51.000You're going to have more old people eating cat food is what you're going to have.
00:28:55.000That's terrible, but you're going to have a lot more old people living off of less buying power because the amount of money that they're getting isn't going to change.
00:29:03.000The dollar, you know, the number of dollars isn't going to change.
00:29:07.000The most likely thing is that the United States is going to inflate it.
00:29:11.000It's possible that other countries call in their debt or what have you, but the most likely thing is that they're just going to monetize it and try and just pump more money into the system.
00:29:22.000It is infuriating that they don't allow you to opt out of Social Security.
00:29:26.000And to that point, as they keep pumping money into the system, you're going to have young people that are going to only have the opinions they have now.
00:29:36.000They're going to only feel more strongly about it.
00:29:38.000They're going to say, capitalism doesn't work.
00:29:51.000Net taxpayer means you're paying more into the system than you're getting out.
00:29:54.000Most people who pay taxes are paying substantially less.
00:29:57.000I think it's only the top 10% who actually pay all the taxes.
00:30:01.000So if the top 10% of the United States left the country, the entirety of entitlements would just collapse and cease to exist, or the country would go through hyperinflation.
00:30:11.000So we got a problem with a country where people expect other people to pay their bills.
00:30:18.000Again, imagine going to the founding fathers and telling them in 200 years time, half of all of the money a person makes will be taken by the government in some form to be distributed amongst those who are not producing for the country.
00:31:02.000And then you factor in property taxes, gasoline taxes, sales taxes, excise, sales, tariff, service, whatever.
00:31:11.000Overall, I think the average when they actually wrap it up is like 48% of all the money you make will be given away in taxes, will be given to the government in some form.
00:31:20.000So even if it's not income tax, when you buy gas, the prices, there's a tax in there you can't see.
00:31:26.000Cigarettes, they put taxes on that stuff.
00:31:31.000All so that they can have somebody create some type of virus so that they can study how to cure the virus.
00:31:41.000They create biological weapons so that they can figure out how to come up with antidotes for biological weapons.
00:31:47.000I think the most likely situation is going to be that they're going to end up inflating the currency, hyperinflation, and then there'll be a war.
00:31:56.000All the people that you have in power now, I think they really believe that what ended the depression was the next war, World War II.
00:32:05.000So you get those kind of people in power, and it makes you wonder what the decision-making is going to look like, the process.
00:32:10.000Let's jump to this next story from the Las Vegas Review Journal, how Trump's Big Beautiful Bill Could Impact Gamblers.
00:32:18.000Well, my friends, last night we talked about how there was a small two-paragraph provision added to Trump's Big Beautiful Bill in the Senate that says that wagers can only be expensed up to 90%.
00:32:31.000So we have a bunch of updates on this and what it really means.
00:32:34.000The first thing I'm going to say is this was added to the bill.
00:32:56.000My personal belief is that this provision was added intentionally to sabotage the bill.
00:33:02.000And there's a lot to why this is the case.
00:33:05.000Right now, we've got Democrat members of Congress.
00:33:08.000Dina Titus of Nevada says, buried within the B.S. Republican budget bill is a provision that harms poker players and those who gamble by limiting loss deductions.
00:33:18.000I'm working on a legislative fix that fairly treats gaming losses in the tax code.
00:33:22.000It's going to be, at least right now, it looks like Democrats are swooping in to try and save the day.
00:33:27.000They say Dina Titus, Democrat Derek Stevens, and Derek Stevens, co-owner of Circa, the D and Golden Gate Hotel Casinos, share similar concerns about this.
00:33:40.000There was a tax rule that said any gaming, any wagering, you can deduct all of your losses against your winnings, but not more than your winnings.
00:33:52.000Basically, if you go to a casino and you're a regular person and you wager $100, you can't just write off $100.
00:34:03.000And the Senate initially said, we just re-up it, whatever, who cares?
00:34:06.000The Senate parliamentarian wanted to take it out completely, which would have meant that literally gambling is impossible because no matter what you win, you got to pay taxes On everything, even when you lose money.
00:34:18.000So, this would mean that if you won money but then lost it right away, the government would still consider that income.
00:34:22.000The Senate Finance Committee negotiated, saying, Well, let's just do 99%.
00:34:26.000The parliamentarian refused and said it's got to be 90%, to which they agreed, thinking it didn't matter.
00:34:33.000What we're hearing now is this goes beyond gambling.
00:34:35.000This affects any kind of wagering in any kind of tournament, any kind of sporting event where you decide to enter.
00:34:41.000If you are in a golf tournament or a fishing tournament and you put money up to enter that tournament, that's considered wagering.
00:34:47.000At least that's what some of the people are arguing now.
00:34:50.000They're saying that still qualifies as a loss, as a wager, as far as the tax code goes.
00:34:58.000So what's happening, and I'll tell you my thoughts on this.
00:35:01.000I think this was intentionally added by the parliamentarian, a Democrat, to create a circumstance that will target regular working class white dudes who live in Democrat urban areas that vote for Trump.
00:35:26.000The majority of the middle-aged white dudes in Pennsylvania who shifted for Donald Trump, union working guys, who are now going to be asking questions as to why they can no longer go to their fantasy sports league or why they're getting taxed $3,000 at the end of the year for having done it.
00:35:43.000What I'm hearing from people, a lot of people are saying, well, who cares?
00:35:45.000Even if you go to Vegas, you're not really going to track all of this anyway.
00:35:48.000If your argument is just line your taxes, fair point, I guess.
00:35:52.000Most people don't want to do that, but you're right.
00:36:19.000Fantasy sports on the weekends with their buddies, sports spending on the weekends with their buddies.
00:36:23.000You do something like this, FanDuel, DraftKings, and whatever app you're using, you're going to open up the app one day and a notification is going to pop up saying, we do track every transaction you make and we'll be reporting that to the IRS as we're obligated to do.
00:36:38.000And then next year, some random 40-year-old dude who makes $50,000 a year is going to get a tax bill for two grand and say, I have no idea what just happened.
00:36:46.000Because a Senate parliamentarian Democrat injected in this bill that you can only write off 90% of your losses.
00:36:53.000So I think this is just one component of what Democrats likely conspired to do behind the scenes to make sure that it's a poison pill.
00:37:02.000If Amade in Amodi or whatever his name is, the Nevada Congressman Republican, votes against Trump, Trump's going to primary him, right?
00:37:18.000Looks like the, and not to mention Nevada was slim majorities between Republican and Democrat.
00:37:23.000If the Republicans pass this, you are going to see the entirety of the gaming industry, which includes sports tournaments and otherwise, blaming Donald Trump, saying this is his fault and it's bad for the industry.
00:38:08.000I mean, look, this bill has the, has the, you know, it's possible that this bill causes havoc with the midterms for Republicans because there's a lot of people that are really upset with a lot of things in it.
00:38:21.000Trump needs to get his budget for illegal immigration.
00:38:25.000But you would be crazy not to think or to believe that Democrats are not thinking ahead for how they can sabotage Republicans in the midterms.
00:38:34.000Knowing Trump's bill is going to pass, what would any clever person do?
00:38:42.000Then in the midterms, we can run campaign ads saying that so-and-so Republican voted to tax your fantasy sports so that your hobby would effectively be shut down.
00:38:54.000Or a pro industry like the World Series of Poker.
00:38:57.000You're going to have all of these pros popping up already.
00:41:06.000Theoretically, they could change all the rules and the Republicans could say, we are going to win forever, but they are intentionally floundering.
00:42:00.000It's like, okay, Kentucky Derby, Charlestown Races, you've got all sports betting, ESPN, you've got DraftKings, you've got Barstool Sports, you've got FanDuel, you've got UFC, all of these industries.
00:42:15.000Then you've got to consider too, and I'm not so sure on this one, but I saw people pointing out that wagering for tournaments, when you enter any kind of tournament, be it golf or fishing or anything where you go with the sponsor, the money paid up front is considered a wager because they pay out a prize pool.
00:43:13.000So the thing about this that people should understand, I know we talked about it quite a bit, but I'll just lay it out, is that as a percentage base, it's an exponential loss for your recreational gamer or amateur tournament goer.
00:43:31.000Let's say every month you play in a tournament that costs 500 bucks and you're like, man, I love fishing.
00:43:37.000We do it once a month and it's like a regional thing.
00:43:40.000That means you're going to be looking at about $6,000 wagered.
00:43:43.000So you're going to owe taxes on $600 if you break even on that tournament.
00:43:47.000And then you're going to have to pay, you know, what, I don't know, you're going to be $30, $180, $200 on your taxes.
00:43:53.000And you're going to get a bill in the mail and you're going to wonder why it happened.
00:43:55.000You're going to open your FanDuel app and it's going to say, we are here.
00:43:58.000We are now officially sending all of your information to the IRS.
00:44:02.000You're going to get a letter in the mail in June and it's going to be like, based on the information from FanDuel, you owe an additional $2,000.
00:44:09.000Every time you wage your money, if you break even, the amounts of losses exponentially, it's going to keep increasing, meaning the percentage base you owe goes up.
00:44:19.000If you bet $1 and you win and lose a million times, you will owe the government taxes on $50,000.
00:44:59.000I think additionally, like once again, I feel my thoughts on this are, we lost, we're fucked because conservatives can't see past the word gamble.
00:45:10.000I don't understand this is like a fishing tournament.
00:45:13.000This is like a 43-year-old guy being like, I'm going to go enter a fishing tournament, go fishing with Du Bois.
00:45:18.000And that's a wager against the prize pool.
00:45:21.000And at the end of the year, they're going to be like, you owe money on all your winnings.
00:45:31.000Even fantasy sports is different when you think about it.
00:45:34.000They don't understand the difference between fantasy sports and gambling, considering how prevalent fantasy sports are for people these days.
00:45:40.000I think the issue is that the bill says wagers and people keep saying gambling.
00:45:45.000This is a tax on wagering in any capacity.
00:45:49.000You want to go to a golf tournament, they're taxing your winnings.
00:46:36.000Expiration at the end of 2025, a change introduced by the TCGA that temporarily removed the limitation that losses could not exceed 2% of adjusted gross income.
00:46:45.000I'm told the Senate parliamentarian flagged it and said no to the extension because of the Byrd rule.
00:46:50.000Congress went to her and asked for 99%.
00:46:56.000She's supposed to have no political agenda, but she is no Trump fan and keeps delivering blows to his agenda.
00:47:03.000I should just, I think there's no way to explain this to conservatives to get them to understand what this will do to the midterms, because the only thing I keep hearing from most people is, but Gambling is bad.
00:47:15.000And I'm like, right, okay, so don't enter any kind of tournament.
00:47:18.000No race car tournaments, no amateur racetracks, no destruction derbies, no golf, no fishing, no disc golf, no football, no frisbee, whatever it is.
00:47:29.000And then on top of that, you can talk about sports betting, UFC, the entirety of the gaming industry of Vegas.
00:47:36.000I wonder if there's even like some type of other stats on what the political affiliations are as far as gambling, like which party gambles more, which, you know, which members.
00:47:47.000Yeah, and the Democrats are already the ones.
00:47:48.000I mean, not if you're talking fishing tournaments and golfing tournaments and shooting tournaments.
00:47:53.000If we're going to talk about wagering as opposed to just gambling, then I would say that, you know, isn't the joke always that the voters on the left, they don't need any money anyways?
00:49:22.000I mean, honestly, I think that, like I said earlier, there's a lot of stuff in this that really could do a job on the Republicans come the midterms.
00:49:30.000And I still do believe that if the economy's good, they'll have a positive result in the midterms.
00:49:35.000I'm not going to talk about individually or whatever, but I think that if the economy's good, they can have a positive result in the midterms.
00:49:42.000But if the economy is bad, all of these things, people are going to remember.
00:49:46.000They'll go, oh, remember they did this.
00:50:01.000Imagine what the ads are going to be when they're like, Amade voted to destroy the gaming industry in Nevada, specifically with Trump.
00:50:09.000Yeah, and I don't know a lot about this, but constitutionally, I'm against, and I mean like personal constitution, not like it's written in there, but I'm against gambling.
00:50:18.000I don't think it's good, but you win by winning, and we need to win.
00:52:14.000And then secondly, didn't we just find out like six months ago or so that New York was shipping welfare recipients to New Jersey because it was cheaper to house them there?
00:52:25.000So they're keeping them on welfare, like New York City welfare, and then housing them elsewhere.
00:52:38.000Like the idea that we should just write New York off is, I think that's unpalatable to most Americans.
00:52:45.000But at the same time, New York has gone through bad city governments, and they've come out the other side.
00:52:51.000And I think that this will probably be the same situation.
00:52:54.000You'll get Memdani in there for however long he's in there, and his policies will have the negative repercussions that these types of policies always do.
00:53:08.000And hopefully they'll find someone like Giuliani in the 90s or whatever to fix the city and bring it back.
00:53:17.000Why does that work for New York, but not California?
00:53:20.000Well, because it's a city versus a state.
00:53:22.000But I guess the hubs of California have been the same for how long, right?
00:53:27.000Like in California, it's other than what, San Diego.
00:53:30.000The rest of it is all blue everywhere in the cities, in the outskirts of the state, it's red.
00:53:35.000A lot of that is because of illegal immigration.
00:53:38.000And I don't think that you can do that in New York City.
00:53:41.000I think that because it's a city, I think there's going to be, there would be different, there are significantly different contexts because of the fact that it's a city.
00:54:04.000That's really, really, really attractive to people, you know?
00:54:07.000And so it's almost like California itself has empowered the state government to just brutalize the citizens because they'll put up with it.
00:54:18.000Yeah, because they'll put up with it because it's so nice.
00:54:21.000It's the one where I'm just like, look, I would never want to live there because of the taxes and because of just the cost of living.
00:54:27.000But if I could, I would put up with it because it's such a beautiful place to be.
00:54:31.000I think also their cities are more spread out.
00:54:34.000It's easier to get away from, you know, the problematic type people to use a word.
00:54:41.000You've got bigger suburbs, big giant gated communities.
00:54:46.000If you're rich in LA, Hollywood area, you live up on a mountain with security.
00:54:50.000And if you're rich in New York, you've got a penthouse, so you're still dealing with it.
00:56:54.000It's the sanitization of Hollywood executives that has ruined movie making because nobody's just ripping lines and then saying, I got an idea.
00:57:03.000The idea that he keeps getting bigger and bigger weapons, it reminds me of the people that were trading, like started trading with a paperclip and ended up trading to a house.
00:57:11.000That's what he's doing just with weapons.
00:57:12.000I think that's actually happened several times.
00:57:15.000There are people who make videos about it now with YouTube videos about that.
00:58:05.000Well, he wants to open this hotel because he wants to get this hotel because then he can put the government-run grocery stores right next to it.
00:58:12.000Do you guys think that we've passed the event horizon of social collapse based on young Americans not wanting to work, not knowing how to work, and the fertility crisis?
00:58:23.000I mean, I think it's more to do with the fact that whenever these topics come up, people are like, eventually people will learn that free markets are the way.
00:58:30.000I'm like, no, they're going to turn to the government.
00:58:53.000And the joke is that if the U.S. government collapsed, there's going to be a prison gang that uses the prison as a base and starts taking over things, right?
00:59:06.000I mean, well, the American U.S. government indeed.
00:59:10.000So when social order starts breaking down and there's no food, there's no resources, people will go to the most brutal guy and say, I will do anything you say as long as you give me food.
00:59:21.000And this is what we see time and time again, like in Venezuela.
00:59:24.000The people who join the military are guaranteed food while everyone's starving.
00:59:27.000All you got to do is shoot your neighbor if they step out of line.
00:59:31.000So, and what I mean by that is they will order the Venezuelan National Guard, go out with guns and open fire if ordered to, and you will want for nothing.
00:59:40.000And so these people are basically like, look, I don't know you.
01:01:31.000Give communists enough power and wait till they change the meaning of natural born citizen.
01:01:37.000And they'll be like, no, no, it means born of nature, not from a test tube.
01:01:41.000In West Virginia, this is my understanding.
01:01:44.000I never actually read through the Constitution, but I was told by local politicians that drinking and gambling are banned in the Constitution.
01:01:52.000So you can't pass a law to, or legislation that's going to allow gambling and drinking.
01:01:58.000So what they did was, how can we legalize liquor in West Virginia when the Constitution says no alcohol?
01:02:19.000And despite the fact they knew exactly what the Constitution was trying to say and what their ancestors were trying to prevent, they said, we all just kind of look at each other, shrug, and say, screw them, we're doing it anyway.
01:02:31.000So when people are like, Zora and Mamdani can't run for president or Arnold can't run for president or whatever, I'm like, dude, give it time.
01:02:37.000If the communists get enough power, Jenk Uger's already made the argument that he should have the right, because he's a naturalized citizen, that should qualify.
01:02:45.000Otherwise, he's a second-class citizen.
01:02:47.000And there's an interesting argument there.
01:02:51.000Because of the way the Constitution is worded right now, a Chinese woman can have a kid in the United States as a tourist, leave immediately, and then 20 years later, that kid moves back to the United States without knowing a word of English, goes to school, studies for 15 years, and then can run for president.
01:07:36.000I mean, this is the natural outcome of independent media becoming a thing is that people may turn to independent media like this, but people also are turning to TikTokers to get their news and their information.
01:08:15.000She goes on to start talking about how she's not getting enough followers and shares from talking about this, which clearly means she's being shadow banned.
01:08:22.000I think this is connected to the 50th anniversary of Jaws, which just came out.
01:08:28.000This would be great promotion for the 50th anniversary steelbook for Jaws.
01:08:31.000One of the videos is a guy saying, not only are the reports the planes are going out, there's like one guy's been begging people to hear this story, saying, please, because they're throwing the people he knew he's migrants out of the plane, but these are also shark-infested waters.
01:08:59.000I did just see that YouTube shorts have surpassed TikTok in views, though I think that has some funny business to do with how they, what they count as a view now.
01:09:07.000But YouTube, like, one of the crazy things is now people think that, like, because of that, like, just the fact that TikTok got banned by the U.S. government allowed YouTube in meta to come in and take all those views because a lot of people who use the platform gave up once they found out that it was going to be banned.
01:09:22.000They're like, I don't want to invest a bunch of time into a platform that's going to get banned anyways.
01:09:26.000And Trump keeps pushing back the date on the ban.
01:09:32.000They don't want to enforce it anyways.
01:09:34.000But, you know, that's who these people are going to watch.
01:09:37.000Now, they're going to watch the lady on TikTok in her living room who's telling you that shark-infested waters are now being used to house migrants.
01:09:45.000Someone commented, Tim, if this turns out to be true, will you apologize?
01:09:49.000And I said, if it turns out to be true that Donald Trump is rounding up illegal immigrants on cargo planes and then dumping them out of planes into the ocean, not only will I apologize, I will call for him to be impeached and convicted, as will literally every Republican in the House and the Senate.
01:10:17.000Well, that keeps going through my head.
01:10:22.000I mean, look, I don't think that there are any stories that people that hate Donald Trump won't believe if it's critical and cast Donald Trump and Republicans in a bad light.
01:10:35.000And I think that this is more evidence of that, whether it be this or kids in cages or whatever it is.
01:10:44.000They want to believe the terrible stories.
01:11:58.000Those lines are always kind of written into my brain because they were in all the trailers and all the movies that I, like on the VHSs of the movies that I watched growing up.
01:12:04.000You know, they used to make a lot of movies about people trying to get their kids back.
01:12:46.000You know, my big concern with this, though, is that the left believing this, and they do, what do you think a person who thinks is his true is capable of doing?
01:12:56.000I mean, that's why, that's why, what's his name, tried to kill Trump, you know, because of, or the, the guy that was in touch with people from Ukraine was trying to get a, I don't remember what the, the artillery or whatever, heavy, heavy weaponry that he was trying to get, but like he was trying to get whatever he could to attack Trump.
01:13:13.000And it's, it's because the left has been saying, look, he's Hitler for a decade and it's going to affect people.
01:13:19.000And I'll say this: the reason why people can believe this story on the left is because they have been told the worst possible things about Trump were true for years.
01:13:30.000So, for a sane person who's watched Trump rallies, who's, you know, actually knows the news, the idea that Donald Trump is loading up cargo planes full of shackled immigrants and dumping in the ocean is laughably absurd.
01:13:43.000But if you're one of these MSNBC people, you're going, I knew it.
01:13:48.000It's just one degree more than they already told you he was doing.
01:15:28.000There's a bunch of restrictions on being able to do any kind of development, but apparently there's a lot of resources and potential rare earths and stuff.
01:15:34.000But it's just massive landmass that's like as big as, what is it, bigger than Texas or whatever?
01:16:21.000I don't know if you guys saw the viral video of the black woman in Portland screaming at the ICE protesters because she's like, you're harassing us.
01:16:28.000I'm not sure if it was her, but somebody was saying, these people are leaving and going into office buildings.
01:16:33.000Someone is paying for their access to these resources to be able to sit outside of ICE.
01:16:50.000It gives them political power at the federal level.
01:16:52.000They get electoral college votes, the more illegal immigrants they have, but they cannot use their sanctioned law enforcement to physically attack ICE.
01:17:00.000They can sanction these street activist protesters all wearing masks and then say, oh, geez, not us.
01:17:07.000It's just the people that are mad at you.
01:17:09.000But I think California, Oregon, Washington intentionally want the riots and they want to stop deportations.
01:17:50.000It depends on how deep on Twitter you go, but you'll definitely still hear that argument, even though you can point to pages where you can buy merch in Facebook groups.
01:17:58.000It's frustrating because those, like when it was the January 6th rioters, you know, they go to jail with for, you know, for however long without trial or whatever and stuff.
01:18:10.000And when it's the, when it's Antifa, it's like, oh, that's just an idea.
01:18:14.000You know, never mind the fact that you have video after video after video of people wearing black block or people dressed for a black block holding Antifa flags.
01:18:29.000They may pass it tonight, and it's sounding like Republicans may have enough votes to do it, but we'll see.
01:18:34.000In the meantime, I guess I'm wondering with the escalation of the violence and resources for this, do we expect these protests, these riots, to reach a higher degree of conflict in the years to come?
01:18:49.000You mean like through the summer and then worse when summer comes around next year?
01:18:53.000There was just some kind of mass shooting in, where was it, like Portland?
01:18:57.000Well, there was one there, but in Portland.
01:18:59.000So I think it was, I'm not entirely sure what happened.
01:19:00.000I think a Somali guy yesterday was opening fire or stuff.
01:19:05.000I'm wondering if, you know, with these leftists arguing Trump is throwing bodies out of planes, do we start seeing something worse than whether underground level violence bombings and attacks?
01:19:16.000You know, obviously you've been sitting here trying to crack jokes and stuff, but maybe, I mean, I get death threats and I'm a total nobody, you know?
01:19:24.000So if it's reached a level where just idiots who get bucked off of horses for money are getting death threats, I would say it's a pretty good sign that it's not going to slow down.
01:19:34.000And then you've got this kid up in Cordelaine that shot a bunch of firefighters.
01:19:40.000Do you want to know what the motivation was for that?
01:19:58.000And it's, you know, it's a travesty anytime this kind of thing happens, but when one party seems to be excited about it, that's a dangerous thing.
01:20:09.000I mean, and their rhetoric has been pushing for this kind of stuff for a long time.
01:20:14.000And the fact that there's been all kinds of violence from the left for the past, for the better part of the past 10 years that's been excused.
01:20:23.000You don't hear politicians speaking up about all of the riots in the street, all the riots during 2020.
01:20:30.000In fact, they were, you know, bailing people out.
01:20:35.000It was making excuses for all this stuff.
01:20:36.000And when you do that long enough, then the people on the left start thinking, well, we can get away with whatever we want.
01:20:42.000And there's the long-held belief that they push that the idea is that all domestic terrorism has always been a right-wing idea, which is obviously because they never actually talk about anything that's done by lefties.
01:21:42.000There was the one that his neighbor got into a fight with him, and Rand actually had to subdue him and hold him until the police arrived, which good on you, Rand Paul.
01:21:53.000But there was also the attack when him and his wife were walking through D.C. and they were harassing him.
01:22:01.000This stuff happens regularly, and it's just always ignored.
01:22:06.000It's like, well, you know, and they make excuses.
01:22:09.000Well, you know, you can't oppress people this way, and et cetera, et cetera.
01:22:15.000You can't allow this stuff, make excuses, and not expect more of it.
01:22:22.000Well, I mean, there's a prevailing idea that all the violence is justified because they believe that the ends justify the means and that it's OK because they're working towards a greater good.
01:22:31.000Yeah, it's a – I don't think these enemy people think anything, honestly.
01:22:38.000I think they're just out there like...
01:23:32.000So, you know, part of me kind of hopes that these people just fizzle out and give up.
01:23:38.000I don't think that this, like, with the amount of propaganda that can be found online and the way your algorithm feeds you material, I don't think that's possible.
01:23:45.000I mean, considering Trump winning the popular vote.
01:23:49.000I think that honestly, what needs to happen, and I know that I sound like a broken record with this, but like the better the economy is and the fewer people are struggling and the more people feel like they're invested in society, the fewer radicals you're going to have, the fewer people you're going to have that say, well, my situation sucks.
01:24:11.000So maybe if we tear everything down, my situation will be better.
01:24:14.000There's a lot of people on the left that look at the situation like, well, I don't have anything and I got nothing to lose then.
01:24:20.000So if we tear everything down and I got nothing, I got nothing at the end of it too.
01:24:28.000And if you get enough people like that that feel that way, they're going to tear it down, particularly when you have so many young men that are in a position where they feel like they're outcasts or they have no future and stuff.
01:24:41.000They feel like they can't either get a good job or they can't find a wife or they'll never have a family, can't buy a home.
01:24:47.000All these things that people feel like they can't have or can't get.
01:24:51.000I mean, well, you know, what does it matter if we tear it all down?
01:24:54.000I don't know how we come back from the social decay.
01:24:56.000Young people not only can't afford it, they mostly won't work for it.
01:25:29.000You're not going to rebuild your country by bringing in foreign workers and letting your generation just struggle.
01:25:35.000But I think we're past the event horizon because Gen Alpha is way too small.
01:25:41.000If Trump does have these mass deportations take effect and denaturalization of criminals, we're going to drop 20 million people if he actually succeeds in this.
01:25:51.000I think the Big Beautiful Bill is actually advanced now.
01:26:24.000So, yeah, apparently, right now, I've got the PBS Live pulled up.
01:26:29.000The Fox of North Carolina amendment on agreeing to the amendment.
01:26:33.000You're going to go to New York to buy your groceries, and then you have to vote to sell you the groceries at your government-run grocery store.
01:26:39.000Well, on that H-1B thing, though, didn't Microsoft just lay off like 2,300 guys and then apply for like 6,000 H-1Bs to replace them with?
01:27:17.000Yeah, where you have some kind of special reason to come to the U.S. The H-1Bs are just like, come on, bring people in, and then you change my.
01:27:25.000Like, guys, you know, I think this country's got too many communists.
01:27:31.000I just think, I think everyone's a communist.
01:27:33.000I said this before, I'm only half kidding.
01:27:35.000When people come to me and say that they deserve entitlements, I'm like, communism.
01:27:39.000You know, I'm not literally communism.
01:27:41.000I'm just saying, how did we become a nation where people are like, I deserve free stuff from the government in any capacity, any, literally one penny, free roads, free whatever it might be.
01:27:53.000The government is going to take from somebody else to give me a thing that I want.
01:27:56.000I mean, well, just the whole like, you know, basic, what is it, UBI, universal basic income.
01:28:03.000I don't know where that idea came from, but that's extremely popular with people, young people on the left.
01:28:09.000And all that will do is just add to inflation, and that'll be the baseline cost for everything.
01:28:15.000You know, whatever it is that you give to the people for $1,000 or $5,000 or whatever it is per month, it's just going to end up adding to inflation, which is only going to compound our problems.
01:28:26.000If you ever want to look at a hellscape, look at r slash anti-work on Reddit.
01:30:30.000What if this is just to cover with the fact there's no workers?
01:30:33.000Well, I mean, our unemployment's too low for it to be.
01:30:37.000But the unemployment doesn't count people not looking for work.
01:30:40.000So if we have 40 million young people who aren't even trying to work because 3 million say don't work, they don't count towards unemployment.
01:30:47.000I've always kind of wondered, it sort of looks like we paper over the real unemployment rate with BS college degrees too.
01:30:54.000Not that there's anything wrong with college or whatever.
01:30:56.000I'm saying we put people that otherwise would be in the workforce into a BS degree pathway just to take them off of those numbers, you know?
01:31:05.000And then we're just sucking wealth out of them.
01:31:09.000So the big news is that the House is expected to vote on Trump's bill in one hour.
01:32:37.000So when the tweet breaks right now, and I'm reading it literally, it was like 26 seconds.
01:32:41.000It was tweeted 26 seconds before I read it, where it says they're planning on voting on this Now, most of the people who are wagering on this are going to find out in an hour or two.
01:33:16.000More and more people are going to start buying July 2nd right now.
01:33:19.000It's actually even funnier to think that there's just a bunch of people in Congress that are just really into gambling that vote against it just because they really want to keep gambling.
01:33:51.000It's funny that it is because it's sponsored, like the All In Podcast sponsors them and they've actually got some kind of – Yeah, they talk about Polymarket all the time.
01:37:32.000I assume so because they all want to cast their vote.
01:37:36.000You know, I feel bad for people who get in Congress because all their job really is, is to stand up in the well and yell about stuff and complain and then not actually do anything.
01:37:48.000And they could have just become a YouTuber like me.
01:37:52.000Seriously, I would argue that I and members of Congress do an equal amount of work towards changing things because, again, they do less in that they don't do several shows per day.
01:38:08.000They only do their stand-up fake outrage periodically so they can fundraise later.
01:39:10.000It's the movie Richie Rich, where the guy gives him the blank check, or the movie Blank Check, where he gives him the blank check and he just Writes a million dollars into the check and then spends the money.
01:39:18.000My favorite part of Richie Rich was when they break into the vault and he's like, Where's the money?
01:44:15.000In the event that they do move for a vote, if it's looking like closer to 10, they're going to move for a vote.
01:44:22.000We'll keep going live and we'll keep it as the, you know, we won't go to the uncensored version just right away if we're going to have major breaking news live.
01:45:05.000Or at least a fake trailer where it's like the plot writes itself, okay?
01:45:10.000There's an old abandoned flooded prison where the urban legend is that the warden was corrupt and was taking kickbacks that he was storing in a safe back in his office, but nobody dares go there because it's flooded in a swamp.
01:45:26.000And then they go there and there's a gigantic alligator that lurks around and starts killing people on the team.
01:45:31.000And then in the end, only the main attractive guy and the young female co-lead escape and only with some of the money.
01:46:36.000Evan for U.S. says, evening, everyone.
01:46:38.000Join us in our growing YAL organization.
01:46:41.000As president of the Fort Bend County Chapter, I'm asking anyone who wishes to fight for liberty to join your local YAL chapter today and help.
01:47:16.000Yakinda, Yakindia says, have you considered the gambling impact on state lotteries?
01:47:21.000This is actually pretty interesting because what the government is basically saying is they want a cut of all of the money spent on state lotteries.
01:47:29.000They're basically saying like, we want 10% of all that money.
01:49:05.000Voodoo says, Tim, you need to talk to a tax expert, not a gambler.
01:49:08.000You are wrong about how the tax filing works.
01:49:10.000In fact, I've talked to politicians, accountants, and professional gamblers.
01:49:15.000But if you'd like me to interview a tax accountant, I would.
01:49:18.000So the reason why I was saying that this is actually worse than we thought and that gambling is the wrong phrase is because it's wagering.
01:49:25.000And the tax code, there's no definition, a clear definition of what wagering is in law.
01:49:30.000But there was a Supreme Court ruling, I think it was in 19, or a court ruling in 87 that set precedent saying that a wager is money placed on any contest where you could win from a prize pool, which is why a lot of people started freaking out saying like, hey, this could wrap up fishing tournaments or like golf.
01:49:50.000And the argument is that the element of chance is slightly the conditions, but largely the amount of money you win.
01:49:58.000So they say, if you enter a contest where it's $100 to enter the contest and your chance of winning money is not guaranteed, it's determined based on the amount of people who entered something out of your control, your winnings are chance.
01:51:41.000With the no tax on tips, if we want it clean, we could say we will no longer read super chats.
01:51:48.000And that means every super chat sent is a tip because you are giving money in exchange for nothing.
01:51:53.000However, the other argument is by virtue of it displaying your comment, that is legal consideration where you are offering up real estate for an individual to buy ad space for their views.
01:52:07.000So we don't know if it's a tip or not.
01:52:27.000Rofflo says, yes, Trump is building concentration camps for the illegals.
01:52:30.000He wants them to study American history.
01:52:31.000And what better way to get them to study history than a concentration camp?
01:52:35.000Well, it's just a camp where you can go to concentrate really hard on what you're learning.
01:52:39.000Shettuck says all professional sports become non-profit and donate to a cause and use the donations to pay the donation workers based on the time they provide to gaining contributions to the cause.
01:55:43.000I do think, however, there is a strong probability we are going to keep the Congress up live and delay or not even go to our uncensored portion if we have major breaking news literally happening right now.
01:56:00.000So, you know, usually we do this rarely for those that are familiar.
01:56:03.000If there's going to be a big moment, we have a debate or a speech or some big breaking news, we'll just keep the show going for a reasonable amount of time.
01:56:12.000If it looks like after this vote, they are going to have another vote, we'll just keep it live and keep staring at it.
01:56:18.000But in the meantime, we can definitely read your chats.
01:56:22.000But Tina Molina says, Phil, the gate theory discussed the other day isn't about liberal or conservative.
01:57:58.000It is amazing when the chickens are out walking around.
01:58:01.000We have one of those automatic doors that when the sun comes up, the door opens and the chickens walk outside and they do their chicken business.
01:58:08.000If you drive a couple blocks down, maybe like half mile, there are chickens just running around.
01:58:13.000And it's funny, like, you'll see just a chicken in like, there's no houses.
01:58:18.000You're like, where is this chicken coming from?
01:58:19.000And there's like a rooster just standing by her, like looking all serious while the hen eats.
01:58:24.000Because that's what the boys do, you know?
01:58:26.000The boys stay and watch to make sure the girl's safe while she eats her food.
01:58:29.000And then when the cars come, they both run full speed, just like off into the distance.
01:58:34.000Now, the most magical thing we have out here is there's a stream that is only after heavy rain or in the springtime when the snow melts.
01:58:40.000And it's in a wooded area connected to a pasture.
01:58:44.000And the cows walk down through the forest to the stream and then stand in it and drink the water, and it is magical.
01:58:52.000There's a farm on the way to this ledge that I skate all the time, and it's got huge signs up front that say the horses lay on their sides.
02:00:09.000It might be bad for that industry, but it would be way worse for the whole country if the bill doesn't pass because that's just an argument to not have omnibus bills, though.
02:00:21.000I think this is where conservatives and libertarians really come together in that the libertarians don't care if they lose so long as they showed everyone how principled they were.
02:00:33.000So I'm glad that Republicans are very happy to stand up and say ban gambling and then potentially lose Trump's agenda over it to show the world how righteous you are and how virtuous you are as the Democrats take over your country and burn it down.
02:00:49.000I got into it with libertarians today because I was like, you know, I'm not really a libertarian anymore.
02:00:53.000And they're just so focused on, you know, being principled that they would allow their opponents to have all the power of the federal government just so long as they're like, well, you know, I was principled.
02:01:07.000They're being beaten over with a club by the left.
02:01:09.000And then I'm going, dude, guy, just stop them from hitting me.
02:01:12.000And he goes, no, that would be unprincipled.
02:01:14.000Well, I think part of that is because there's actual conservatives in politics and libertarians seem to occupy more of the realm of theory because they don't ever get elected.
02:01:24.000So obviously politics in theory is vastly different from politics in practice and you have to make vast changes when it's actually in practice.
02:01:32.000So when all you're doing is focusing on a theoretical concept, it's easy to be principled.
02:01:37.000It's very different when you get, again, it doesn't mean that there isn't a problem with bills of this size, which force garbage like this through, but it is the point, right?
02:01:46.000Is that eventually you have to do something about it.
02:01:50.000Cale says, Phil, as much as I want the HPA in short in the Big Beautiful Bill, if it passes with removing suppressors from the NFA, it makes suppressors illegal in 17 states.
