I'm Chrissy Mayer from the Chrissy Mayer Podcast.
00:00:28.400
And I guess all of us, let's go around where everybody knows us from.
00:00:35.120
And I guess how we sort of got into this world.
00:00:42.520
I'm one of the hosts of the Tower Power Hour, which is the official Tower Gang podcast.
00:01:07.780
And I am the author of the book, The War on Small Business.
00:01:12.260
I advocate for small business, small government, and big hair.
00:01:19.320
I think, yeah, smaller government, bigger hair is always a good thing.
00:01:27.720
And then we have the first time I'm ever seeing him in the flesh, Fat Dave Smith.
00:01:33.100
It's a pleasure and an honor to meet the man behind the meme.
00:01:43.500
And then I'm also another host of the Tower Power Hour.
00:01:50.800
I'm just out there getting my hands dirty and making people hate me and making people laugh.
00:02:02.040
I am Chrissy's ex-husband, Carol's future ex-husband.
00:02:09.480
Also recovering mortgage broker as opposed to investment banker.
00:02:15.060
And I, via the lockdowns, was forced into the podcasting circuit.
00:02:20.140
And I've been on part of the problem with Dave Smith and Timcast as of late.
00:02:23.940
So that's probably why you recognize these sweet tomes.
00:02:30.640
I like to say, that's how you recognize this sweet, sweet dome.
00:02:38.520
I just think it's funny that you guys are trolls trying so hard to make people not like you.
00:02:45.480
All you have to do is just post normal on Twitter and everybody will hate you.
00:02:56.120
It's not as much we're trying to get people to hate us.
00:02:58.200
It's just that, like, yeah, we're just actively just, like, everything we post, they're just like, fuck you.
00:03:08.740
I don't think any of you are trying to be, like, malicious for no reason.
00:03:12.880
I think it's more of you trying to, like, you know, kick over the rocks and see what's there, poke the beehive and other metaphors.
00:03:24.320
I mean, the interesting thing is that we get the right people to hate us, I would say, for the most part.
00:03:29.140
And those people tend to expose themselves just by seeing us making our jokes and saying what we want to say.
00:03:36.040
They come out of the woodwork and make idiots out of themselves.
00:03:39.560
So the people that hate us are probably the people that we want to hate us for the most part.
00:03:43.600
Do you all mostly have, like, a libertarian fan base, like, libertarian viewers?
00:03:54.120
Prominently or predominantly libertarian or anarcho-capitalist or anarchist.
00:04:06.820
No, I thought it was an amazing episode, so whatever.
00:04:08.500
But, yeah, I don't think – I wouldn't actually classify myself as a shitposter.
00:04:12.880
I think that I try and have a fairly serious delivery.
00:04:16.220
And if you hear me on Liberty Lockdown, I am not very humorous.
00:04:20.300
I'm more scaring the shit out of people than if you hear me on Tower Gang.
00:04:31.120
I actually have a very strange group of people because I come from the finance world.
00:04:39.640
And, you know, kind of – I really attract people across the spectrum.
00:04:45.060
And I think because – unlike some other folks, because I try to come at it with the common sense,
00:04:52.020
everyone knows I'm always coming in good faith.
00:04:54.200
So even people who are really progressive and who we probably don't agree on anything still follow me.
00:05:01.680
Also, I try to add some humor and dogs into my feed.
00:05:10.040
Same as me, except a lot of my fans are on the spectrum.
00:05:16.980
Chrissy and I have very similar minds, apparently.
00:05:23.320
It's funny because Toad, like, with your chair, it makes you look like a Toad.
00:05:27.300
I don't know if you're aware, but, like, these look like little ears on you, but I know it's your chair.
00:05:34.540
I mean, a lot of people don't know where – I mean, it is actually my nickname in real life,
00:05:38.720
and I don't really want to dox myself or anything like that.
00:05:40.960
But it came from a period of time in the late 90s where a lot of people had bowl haircuts, including me.
00:05:48.840
And some people in high school nicknamed me that because I looked like Toad from Super Mario
00:05:58.220
Toad from my favorite childhood book, Frog and Toad Are Friends.
00:06:20.420
Yeah, I definitely wanted to talk a lot about – yeah, Carol's book.
00:06:23.620
I mean, the title alone, The War on Small Business, How the Government Used the Pandemic to Crush the Backbone of America.
00:06:30.060
I mean, if – I don't know how any American would not be curious to read this book.
00:06:36.440
This is something that has affected either you directly or somebody you know closely.
00:06:42.660
I'm not going to have you read it to us word for word.
00:06:49.420
And I'm just sort of fascinated how, like, both Carol and Clint have come from, like, the worlds of good jobs.
00:06:56.960
Like, I don't know so much about Toad and Chad Mason, but I am not really from that world.
00:07:03.740
So I'm very curious to hear, like, how you – I guess kind of – to elaborate more on how you found your way here.
00:07:11.060
And, like, right, and what were you doing, I guess, pre-plandemic?
00:07:15.160

00:07:29.860
Yeah, so, I mean, I started, as I said, as a Wall Street investment banker and made my way through that mostly as a way to pay down college because I was the first person in my family who went to college, like many people.
00:07:44.820
Even though it was a long time ago, I still had $40,000 of college debt and needed a way to pay it down.
00:07:50.340
And so that was, like, the best job I could get to learn a ton and to pay it down quickly.
00:07:56.180
And when I was at that job, and I think Clint and I talked about this, I would get small business owners who would call me who were desperate for help, and certainly they couldn't afford to hire an investment banker.
00:08:08.860
But it always really stuck with me because I'm an empath and I'm a helper, and I wanted to help them, but they couldn't afford me and they couldn't afford the firm.
00:08:17.380
So I figured when I got out of there that that might be a way to, there might be a way to leverage the media to be able to help small business.
00:08:25.900
Truthfully, I just really wanted to be a game show host.
00:08:32.400
But I went into the small business arena because that was sort of the easiest transition.
00:08:38.280
And then, you know, it was probably around 2009, 2010.
00:08:42.540
And then because everything was going on with elections and, you know, things, 24-hour news cycle, anybody who's talking business started really getting pulled into politics.
00:08:54.220
And that just went to another level in 2012 when Romney got the nomination because he was a private equity guy.
00:09:00.760
And they're like, nobody knows what private equity is.
00:09:06.420
So all of a sudden, I'm on CNN with Piers Morgan explaining the auto bailouts and, like, became, like, this political aficionado and knew, like, nothing about this, like, probably two years before.
00:09:18.860
So I really kind of got thrust into all of this.
00:09:21.460
But I've always, you know, I wrote another book called The Entrepreneur Equation that did very well that was about small business and all the risks.
00:09:29.580
Never did I think the number one risk to the small business was going to be the government coming in and shutting them down, subjugating their property rights.
00:09:37.420
And so when HarperCollins came to me, I was like, hey, you know, this is going to be historic from an economic standpoint.
00:09:44.680
I was like, oh, that's a nice little project, like an idiot, not realizing that this is this Herculean task that's going to go on for 15 months and, like, it was going to just, you know, be one clown show after another.
00:09:57.100
But in retrospect, I'm glad that I was naive and stupid and agreed to it because, as we're seeing, they're already gaslighting about what happened.
00:10:06.360
And there are people who believe that everybody was locked down, that we were all in this together, that small businesses were appropriately compensated, and then don't realize this was the most historic wealth transfer we've ever seen in our lives from Main Street to Wall Street.
00:10:22.960
And so you've got people that are, like, counting their little, like, stimulus dollars, and, like, the brakes truck is rolling behind them with, like, trillions of dollars, and nobody's noticing that because they're counting their stimmy money.
00:10:34.180
Um, so, yes, I'm really thrilled that I had the opportunity, but, boy, that was a big task that I signed up for.
00:10:42.960
And I noticed, um, Carol, on your Twitter feed, I'm actually trying to find it right now.
00:10:48.520
I'm going to bring it up because sometimes charts, I know for me, charts are helpful, numbers not so much, but sometimes I just need a little picture.
00:11:02.260
This is direct transfer, courtesy of central planning, government-slash-fed.
00:11:08.260
Uh, only the rich could love this economic recovery.
00:11:23.160
Um, and as I'm a free market capitalist, so if that happens without government interference, great.
00:11:29.000
You know, if you're going to work your way into that and out-compete and you're going to gather wealth, that's fantastic.
00:11:36.100
But you'll notice that the amount that the stock market gained is almost exactly the amount that the Fed printed.
00:11:43.440
Um, and so, you know, you had sort of two different layers of things going on last year.
00:11:48.740
You had the government shutting down small businesses.
00:11:51.660
Those revenues, that money that a consumer was going to spend was going to the companies that were open, which were Amazon and Walmart and anybody who was politically connected.
00:12:00.580
So their revenues expanded, but then you had all of this unprecedented federal reserve intervention in the market on top of the already unprecedented amount of federal reserve intervention in the market.
00:12:13.200
Um, and so that, you know, expanded multiples and transferred and created, you know, all this, this value transfer, um, really at the expense of retirees and savers, small businesses, you know, everybody who's, you know, kind of part of the main street.
00:12:28.560
And, you know, that is the tragedy and, and it's, it is being rewritten as a capitalist issue when those of us who paid any attention to this know that it's directly out of central planning.
00:12:41.200
Carol, I don't think you understand higher inflation means higher wages.
00:12:51.220
It's the most embarrassing that you're supposed to be the channel, you know, of credible business news.
00:12:56.460
I, I worked there as a contributor for four years and I was so embarrassed.
00:13:04.380
Pizza's now $23 a slice, but Hey, good silver lining there.
00:13:13.600
I mean, it's, it's, it's, it's literally epic gaslighting.
00:13:17.500
Like I've never seen anything like that in my life.
00:13:20.580
And what happens with the, with the money printing part of it is that the money that gets printed, it immediately goes to the politically connected.
00:13:30.700
So they get to use the money before we see the impacts in higher prices.
00:13:34.640
And by the time we see any of the money via higher wages, that money has already been devalued to the point where we're already getting screwed by the higher prices.
00:13:44.800
So again, it's part of this massive wealth transfer to Google Cantillon effect.
00:13:54.240
I mean, in a period that we've been in, you know, kind of post great recession to now, I mean, like there's, like, there's no monetary policy that's getting people back to work at this point.
00:14:06.020
Like, I'm not sure that there ever is, but like at this point, the Fed printing money, like has absolutely nothing to do with the disconnect in the labor market.
00:14:13.400
So like that even pretending that it does is just, it's like a, it's like spitting in everyone's face.
00:14:18.980
I just want to say too, that, you know, if you're old enough to recall, this is exactly what happened after the 08 collapse.
00:14:25.380
They bailed out the bad actors and the consumer was the one that was punished.
00:14:30.600
And what you're seeing is a populist uprising amongst both the left and the right that are realizing that the American government has completely abandoned their duty.
00:14:41.180
You know, if you believe in their duty to be looking after the American people, which as a libertarian or an anarchist, I certainly do not believe that.
00:14:47.660
But for the average person that does perceive it to be that way, they've abdicated their role.
00:14:53.980
And I think that you're going to see growing social strife as people come to this realization that we are in this basically on our own and there's going to be no one that's going to bail us out.
00:15:05.020
And it's, it's absolutely infuriating as someone who was a mortgage broker that was involved in real estate that literally liquidated hundreds of houses in the 08, 09 collapse.
00:15:17.920
And I see it coming and it, and it pisses me off.
00:15:20.720
It pisses me off that I'm, I actually know what's happening and I can't break through the idiots at MSNBC that are telling people that inflation, that, you know, the, the silver lining of inflation is that if you cut your pizza, a couple extra directions, you'll get more slices.
00:15:39.640
And I just, I'm so grateful that we have alternative platforms that can get this message out to people so that they can prepare because it's going to get ugly.
00:15:46.500
But the challenge is though, like we're, we don't have enough people like kind of who aren't in the flow, who understand these things.
00:15:55.320
And with the amount of people, you know, who are busy running their lives, taking care of their kids because, oh, by the way, they can't put them back in school or camp or they have to wear a mask or whatever.
00:16:13.760
We've just been through 15 months of this unprecedented government and government adjacent intervention that's created this horrible outcome.
00:16:22.180
And there are people being like, well, you know, like, it would be helpful to get like some more, like, let's, let's have Medicare for all.
00:16:28.020
Like you said, went through the last 15 months and that was your conclusion was that Medicare for all was a good idea.
00:16:36.360
We have to get the government more involved in our healthcare.
00:16:42.040
But you only have the choice of Amazon, Kohl's, Target, Walmart.
00:16:51.780
I remember, I remember talking to, um, yeah, it was named, uh, Noam Dworman.
00:16:56.520
He owns the, the comedy cellar in New York city.
00:16:59.560
And even though like, I believe he, he, his family like owns that building.
00:17:03.780
I just remember talking to him like last spring and he was so frustrated.
00:17:09.560
Like he honestly sounded like he was almost in tears.
00:17:12.520
Like he, he was just, he, he jumped through so many hoops.
00:17:16.240
He did everything that he was told, uh, to reopen or stay open.
00:17:20.300
And then at some point they made him put up like a, like a buffet, like a, like a spit shield.
00:17:26.820
I'm like, I mean, I mean, as comedians, like some of us can be pretty dirty and degenerate,
00:17:30.420
but I don't think we need like a salad bar, like zoo, zoo animal shield.
00:17:39.740
I haven't been to the club since, but, uh, yeah, I've seen photos and, uh, comics tell me
00:17:48.200
And there's just been a weird, the weird way that it affects comedy is like the audience,
00:17:52.720
the audiences in the city are so, they feel so different because like, and never am a comic
00:18:00.620
Cause it's my job to like be funny and make whoever showed up laugh.
00:18:03.740
But, but when the lights come on, you're like, Oh my God, like everyone who's sitting in a
00:18:08.140
crowd in New York city, like they're all like either broke college students or they, they're
00:18:11.860
just like, yeah, broke regular people who couldn't move out, you know, who couldn't, who couldn't
00:18:17.280
And it really, it feels like a different, I, I get a lot of comics telling me like they
00:18:22.020
just loathe performing in New York city now because of this reason, like the crowds, it's
00:18:26.220
not like a good, you know, sampling of with tourists and people visiting.
00:18:30.840
It's just, that's, that's actually, that's actually a good microcosm for what Carol was talking
00:18:35.900
about is that, you know, the, the poor are the one that are going to suffer under this,
00:18:39.620
this policymaking it's, it's going to be the people that can't flee the big cities that
00:18:43.560
are stuck there to languish as society crumbles around them.
00:18:47.720
Whereas the wealthy are all fleeing to Florida or they're going offshore.
00:18:51.500
They're by, you know, they're going to be fine.
00:18:54.200
It's just, this is, this is why if, if the, the plebs us don't come together, even though
00:19:01.120
I'm not really a pleb, I've, I'm basically retired, but I still consider myself one.
00:19:05.060
Um, I, I really think that this is like, like if you care about civilization, like this is
00:19:12.400
Like we have to come together as a people and realize who is actually dominating us because
00:19:18.220
It's not the, you know, extremist white supremacist nonsense.
00:19:28.300
And, uh, I hope, I hope that people are starting to wake up because you've had 16 months locked
00:19:33.240
I hope you did some research and figured out who's actually, uh, ripping you off.
00:19:38.840
Like it, I want to call out the crappy capitalists because like everyone wants to like say 1% versus
00:19:47.740
Like there are plenty of people, uh, like Glenn and myself, you know, who are probably included
00:19:53.960
Somebody has to be in the top number, uh, but who actually care and understand that if
00:19:59.200
you don't create, allow for wealth creation opportunities for everyone that we've lost
00:20:04.180
the foundation of economic freedom and what this country stands for and that in history
00:20:13.840
He knew that you had to pay people well in order for them to buy the cars.
00:20:17.180
Like you can't exclude people from wealth creation.
00:20:20.200
And I don't know why if you're a capitalist and you have the abundance mentality, you would
00:20:27.180
So there are plenty of people who've done well, who, who are espousing the message and
00:20:33.960
It's the people who have the opposite mentality, who have the limiting mentality, who want that
00:20:38.540
like club that's the elitist, the ruling class, the, the politically connected and the
00:20:48.600
Like, that's what we need to be fighting against because otherwise then again, we end up pointing
00:20:53.600
the fingers in the wrong direction instead of having it pointed squarely at the government
00:20:59.540
Do you think the demise of small businesses was always part of the grand plan?
00:21:03.960
Or did they just sort of see it going this way and they're like, oh, let's take advantage
00:21:09.140
So, yeah, I mean, I think it was the plan and I think they used COVID as sort of a jumping
00:21:17.200
Like, oh, let's crush small businesses now so we can leave only those larger businesses
00:21:21.940
that are the politically connected ones, basically Corona capitalism.
00:21:26.940
So then the businesses that you leave are those big ones that will actually do the government's
00:21:31.700
And I kind of think it's a combination of a few different things where there are people
00:21:35.920
that absolutely know what's going on and they're politically connected.
00:21:41.100
There are other people that probably feel afraid to go against it.
00:21:44.700
And I think there are other people that just completely believe it.
00:21:50.240
Which is why when you have Ian Smith, he kept his gym open in Belmar, New Jersey.
00:21:59.520
He pissed so many people off because he just he kept bobbing and weaving and stayed open
00:22:06.460
and stopped charging memberships, but then like way upped his merch.
00:22:11.240
So then it would like make some money back that way through merch.
00:22:16.680
It's like, how do you not, if you live in New Jersey or anywhere near that, go out of your
00:22:24.440
I think the state of New Jersey wound up seizing the gym and their assets and their bank account
00:22:32.540
They racked up more than a million dollars in fines from the states, which I'm assuming
00:22:38.320
But that's kind of the state of where things were.
00:23:12.360
But I was going to say that I don't remember a time ever where the government has had a chance
00:23:16.720
where even the people are going against small businesses too.
00:23:20.920
Maybe not just for the reason of small businesses, but like, you don't need to be open because
00:23:28.140
And it was almost like a golden plate given to them.
00:23:32.260
Like, hey, you can not only take away small businesses, you can also get the majority of
00:23:39.220
And it's kind of crazy and really scary about what happens when the government and the people
00:23:53.000
And you kind of lay out the case of the intentionality, not just during COVID, but kind
00:23:58.860
of leading up and how we got to the point where they were able to do that.
00:24:04.540
Like, it doesn't matter if you think that the small businesses were too small to matter or too
00:24:13.300
And that's where I feel like we can get people to come together.
00:24:16.020
So instead of saying, well, oh, well, it was intentional.
00:24:25.560
And that's where I've been able to find a lot of common ground with folks.
00:24:28.600
It's like, I don't even need to convince you that, like, lockdowns weren't the right answer
00:24:35.100
There were all kinds of places that weren't locked down and it wasn't based on data or
00:24:40.200
It was based on political cloud and connections.
00:24:42.540
So if you realize, if you can come to that where you realize, okay, these people were
00:24:46.920
singled out and then realize they weren't appropriately compensated, that in and of
00:24:53.340
I don't need to tell you what was the right course of action because, like, either course
00:24:58.400
of action on liberty or lockdowns, shout out to you, Clint.
00:25:07.780
Yeah, no, I mean, I think I kind of have a different conspiracy theory here and it's
00:25:13.620
I mean, if you want to go with the World Economic Forum, I think that the Great Reset, you can
00:25:16.700
look at all these politicians using the same language to describe what's occurring and get
00:25:23.100
Whether you believe that this is actually all orchestrated by those, you know, small nefarious
00:25:30.860
The way I view it is it's much more simplistic, in my view, to see this as essentially the
00:25:38.500
Like, this is just what happens when you have a country with a government that has grown
00:25:42.360
to this magnitude, that has this level of tax receipts, that has this level of corporate
00:25:52.060
I mean, you end up with big business entrepreneurs that seem like they're not, you know, the worst
00:25:57.240
people on earth, but they realized where their bread is buttered.
00:26:00.420
You know, if you get so much of your revenue from the government, you're going to, I mean,
00:26:06.200
And, and I don't know how you can break that tie as long as you have Amazon and Twitter
00:26:11.280
and YouTube and all these people that have, I, in my view, they almost certainly have massive
00:26:17.940
Um, I think this is just a natural progression of the, just a government that's too big and
00:26:37.760
I mean, what can you expect when all, like all politicians are above 70 years old?
00:26:42.700
So, I mean, that was like, talk about gaslighting.
00:26:46.940
A gaslighting man to like, to watch Pelosi, just like get her hair done willy nilly to
00:26:51.620
see Newsom just like out at a restaurant with his buds.
00:26:57.220
I'm like, it's like, we're all in an abusive relationship.
00:27:00.180
And anytime you're trying to leave, you get pushed down the stairs again.
00:27:08.080
And all the people around you are agreeing with them too.
00:27:19.040
I just don't understand how they keep ending up on all these private planes.
00:27:23.940
Like every time I see some like twins, it's like on some private planes.
00:27:30.380
Like, are you referring to, um, and I don't fully understand what happened.
00:27:34.100
So probably someone can probably explain better.
00:27:35.840
Was it that like the, these Texas Democrats like walked out on some kind of a decision
00:27:40.660
and ended up on a, like a private plane with no, with no masks on.
00:27:43.880
And they were like taking a stand, but I don't fully.
00:27:45.520
I mean, that was definitely the most recent example.
00:27:48.460
Them and their Miller lights and their, hey, whatever.
00:27:56.300
And the worst part is you see people and they're like cheering them on.
00:28:01.080
These people are abdicating their responsibility.
00:28:03.280
They're taking off on a private plane financed by like, who knows who.
00:28:08.200
And they're going to like, go fly around and joke.
00:28:12.440
Like, this is like, you shouldn't be completely horrified by this.
00:28:21.520
I mean, I wish COVID was actually, uh, as lethal as they claim it to be, because then maybe all
00:28:27.020
those people would just take themselves out by doing that.
00:28:29.280
Yeah, let's get dark, you know, um, it has kind of devolved.
00:28:36.100
Well, or maybe it's always been there and we're just uncovering it into like, just brainless,
00:28:45.260
Like who, who's the better team or who should be winning.
00:28:48.780
It's just like, oh, well, I, I, I, I bought this Jersey years ago and well, God, gosh darn,
00:28:56.420
Well, that's the best part about having no team is I get to hate everybody equally.
00:29:02.940
I think it's, it's almost, it's gone beyond the sports.
00:29:05.660
It's gone to religion and they think that government is their God and it's like the worst
00:29:13.020
And so they're just blindly following their cult leader and saying, yes, you know, this
00:29:18.060
makes sense and drinking the Kool-Aid and this is becomes like what they live in, like
00:29:23.860
And I think that's even more dangerous than stupid sports fans.
00:29:27.700
And when you don't have God and you're not, and you are kind of spiritually bankrupt,
00:29:32.120
like not, you, not like you have to be a Christian or whatever, but like, we all can, we've all
00:29:36.580
seen examples of people who like, you know, they're freaking out in a Victoria's secret,
00:29:40.280
for example, or they're like burning something down.
00:29:45.600
There's a chunk of your, you're spiritually unwell.
00:29:50.600
And what fills that, it's like, it's like this perfect taking advantage of, it's like
00:29:57.980
It's like the government can swoop in and be like, oh, we'll join our team.
00:30:03.980
You can wag your finger at everybody else and feel superior because you actually like
00:30:09.660
People are like, they're, they're already like terrible people.
00:30:14.200
And so they want to be part of something bigger.
00:30:15.960
And then they got their amazing moment where they can grandstand for fucking 12 months of
00:30:21.880
saying like, you're the problem because you don't wear the mask or you don't, uh, social
00:30:26.840
And I can be the, uh, you know, I'm the religious zealot that is better than you.
00:30:33.820
The religion and, uh, statism kind of crossover there.
00:30:50.660
Um, well, since I did bring it up, um, I, I don't know if, if you guys have seen this,
00:30:57.880
Um, and we can talk about this cause it's, I think it's a symptom of like a larger kind
00:31:04.560
Like this woman had a meltdown in a Victoria secret because, uh, this, uh, this black woman
00:31:10.000
was filming her and I'm going to play a little bit of this to see what you guys think and
00:31:18.640
Oh, before I do, I don't want to forget this super chat cause it's flying away.
00:31:22.160
And I also don't even understand this super chat, which makes you think it's one of your
00:31:25.940
Um, from Neil is Robbie so extra gay for simping for corpos.
00:31:35.820
Uh, Robbie suave is a, I believe is a reason magazine type of libertarian.
00:31:42.280
Some more mainstream libertarian, uh, gets numerous things, right?
00:31:48.680
And yes, he's most certainly extra gay for simping for large corporations.
00:31:54.600
I don't know if they should ask about Rico suave.
00:32:23.280
I'm going to share this because we all, this is what we all came here to see is a lady
00:32:29.060
It's so funny because this woman, this would have never happened had this woman not got
00:32:33.080
a free panty coupon, which like any women maybe on this panel or watching knows it's
00:32:42.520
Back in my day, he would freak out in a Victoria's secret because he looked fat in the
00:32:48.380
Now she's freaking out because of some other viral sort of moment here.
00:32:52.640
I mean, she also looks fat, but that's besides the point.
00:33:16.500
And there's a video dubbed of Victoria's secret.
00:33:20.620
Online has gone viral as provoking questions about how Milburn, New Jersey police handled the
00:33:29.960
So let me just, I'm going to post this and I want to see.
00:33:35.940
Supposedly it started when this, when this, when the white lady wanted, but it's not on
00:33:41.120
Apparently she had a request to stay six feet away, although she's not wearing a mask.
00:33:46.980
Wait, were you, was somebody going to say something before I play this?
00:33:49.760
I was going to say that I'm going to blame the lockdowns for the mental state of these
00:33:58.680
She's, she threw away all of her panties with holes in them.
00:34:11.580
If she is one of the new models, that's what I was.
00:34:24.820
The first thing you see in this video is, is actually this woman does catch her, uh, hitting
00:34:50.660
She learned, by the way, she learned this from the soccer players.
00:35:09.040
It's a, you're, you hit the nail right on the head is she just caught, she was caught
00:35:16.040
And I watched, I would not recommend listening.
00:35:19.620
Like I want to go down this, the whole of this story.
00:35:22.220
But later in this police report, this woman, uh, this blonde lady said over and over, she's
00:35:27.200
a, she was afraid of losing her job and afraid of losing her apartment because she was caught
00:35:31.240
on film, like, you know, hitting a black woman.
00:35:33.860
And, and to the brainwashed left, that means an immediate ejection from society.
00:35:41.640
So that's what this also mixed mixed in with, yeah, probably some good old fashioned mental
00:35:46.440
illness, but that's what this woman I think is going through.
00:35:52.220
I mean, listen, I like, like, I, I know people are stressed out right now.
00:36:05.960
It's like, that's insane, but this is, there's so, there's so many Karen situations, which
00:36:13.720
are, you know, like you kind of feel like you only have part of the story and I've been
00:36:18.720
in situations where I'm like, Oh, if you started filming now, this would look totally different
00:36:23.100
than if you started filming like, you know, five minutes before, but legitimately, if
00:36:27.360
she was going to hit her, I mean, like that's, that's pretty clear cut violence.
00:36:32.060
I actually have, I actually am going to be the only one that dissents on this.
00:36:39.860
I honestly think that they got into some sort of conversation prior and the black lady went
00:36:47.000
And the white lady is reaching over to swipe the phone down because she doesn't want to
00:36:55.240
I don't, I'm not sure that she was actually swinging to hit her.
00:37:07.660
So my Amtrak story is I was going to see a client and I was going from Delaware to Washington,
00:37:15.100
DC, and I got on and I was in business class, which on Amtrak means like you have a guaranteed
00:37:22.320
So you can sit anywhere you want in business class.
00:37:24.760
And so I needed to have a window seat because I had a lot of things to plug in.
00:37:29.280
And I finally found one next to this like Amtrak employee who was like asleep at the
00:37:38.980
So I go in there and like 45 minutes into the Jersey, like I hear some guy like screaming
00:37:51.280
And then I'm like, oh my God, he's freaking out at me.
00:38:00.680
Like I didn't say like, oh, go find another seat.
00:38:03.460
So the Amtrak employee sitting next to me is like, okay, fine, dude.
00:38:14.320
And my normal reaction is would not have been a pleasant one.
00:38:17.980
But I realized same kind of thing that like someone's going to pull their phone out at
00:38:24.940
And then it's going to be crazy lady on the train going nuts.
00:38:31.540
And then of course was amusing myself with like taking pictures.
00:38:34.680
Like I'm sitting next to this a-hole and, you know, like trying to figure out like how
00:38:41.760
Like literally it's like some guy flexing on me on a train.
00:38:46.360
And like all these guys around me were like, you know, miss, like you didn't have to do
00:38:52.460
But anyway, I'm a public figure and I know the second that I do, someone's going to pull
00:39:00.160
out their phone and it's going to be like, the story is just going to be my part of the
00:39:04.480
story, which missed the whole reason why this happened to begin with.
00:39:07.560
So I am very empathetic to the, like catching the dispute mid time.
00:39:13.640
I do have the guy's picture, by the way, from Antrek.
00:39:19.480
So I'm just going to say, he was definitely like a VC or lawyer type of guy.
00:39:25.000
And like, I know he was like a little snot and he's going to get it one day.
00:39:42.460
I want to show the rest of this because this does get, okay, it's a lot more of this just
00:39:46.100
like screeching, squatting, again, a lot of it.
00:39:50.760
She's saying, get away from me, but she at no point leaves the store.
00:39:54.020
Like if this woman just got up and walked away, the situation would be over.
00:40:01.420
And now I think she's like leaning into the victim thing.
00:40:06.700
I mean, it could just be that time of month, you know?
00:40:10.540
Chrissy, you don't, you don't walk away from free panties.
00:40:29.460
This is how I know this woman has a theater degree is this part right here.
00:40:40.120
I watched them do this during the finals over and over again.
00:40:43.740
Anytime anyone came near them, they would flop onto the ground.
00:40:46.820
Is that why somebody mentioned Megan Rapinoe in the chat?
00:40:50.500
They could not be any less attentive to this woman, by the way.
00:40:55.280
There's women like stepping over her to swipe their AMX coin.
00:40:59.160
Yeah, I was just at the thought that there's someone in the background like, man, where are the G-strings at?
00:41:10.120
I mean, this is what the lockdowns have done to people.
00:41:16.940
This is the outgrowth of the PTSD of being locked in your house for 15 months.
00:41:23.800
I mean, I walk into Victoria's Secret expecting to see sexy women in lingerie.
00:41:31.180
That's what it's called advertising versus reality.
00:41:35.820
If you want sexy, you're going to have to go to Sears for that now.
00:41:57.720
I'm going to give Victoria's Secret stock go after this.
00:41:59.760
If this woman is genuinely like, oh, this is the end of my life.
00:42:03.820
Like, if she truly believes this is the end of her life, then this.
00:42:15.460
She says, get away from me while following her.
00:42:19.080
But, I guess the other question is, why is the other woman still there filming it?
00:42:26.840
Like, why is she Steven Spielberg and recording this on, like, posterity?
00:42:33.520
They both could have ended it by just sort of, like, walking away.
00:42:38.240
The blonde woman went to the cop school of commands and just, like, stop resisting.
00:42:46.120
Can we all at least agree that cameras on phones were a mistake?
00:42:53.000
I mean, like, you know, none of the guys are saying that because they all have, like, their phones are full of the dick pics.
00:43:04.080
It's actually, inside, inside baseball and, uh, tower gang, whenever you join the chat, you have to send a picture of your dong.
00:43:16.880
Super chat from, I think, one of your fans, uh, Amoy Cain, Carol and Clint, thoughts on $991 billion reverse repo on 630?
00:43:31.200
I mean, I don't, I've been reading about, um, you know, all different kinds of reverse repos and what the Fed's going to say is that it's needed for liquidity in the market, which we all know is a hunk of BS.
00:43:44.020
Um, and this is part of the problem is that everything they do is so opaque that you really can't get a sense of, like, why is it that you needed to go and do this sort of short-term operation and market, um, particularly at that level.
00:44:02.000
So, um, it's like my, my macro stick, like stance is that the Fed needs to be reined in and there should be, uh, very strict parameters where we're not seeing things like this come out.
00:44:27.040
So basically, um, we're going to get into like, it's when the government bends you over.
00:44:33.940
I mean, like that, that, that is at a high level, basically with all of the repos are reverse repos is the government bending all of us over.
00:44:41.760
Uh, but they're basically short-term agreements to repurchase securities in the market.
00:44:50.440
The other side, the person who's going to purchase the other side, the reverse repo without kind of getting into the specifics.
00:44:55.740
Um, but it, it's meant to, you know, from a short-term standpoint, provide liquidity in the market or allow, you know, between, whether it's between the Fed and banks or banks, bank to bank, these short-term, um, agreements in terms of the repurchase of security so that they can meet reserve requirements.
00:45:18.000
What, what I think is actually happening is that, um, because we've had such easy monetary policy for so, so long, you have a tremendous amount of malinvestment that exists in this market across the board.
00:45:28.920
And, and even though there's a ton of liquidity, there are still issues where like you, you'll have, you'll have, um, short-term borrowing issues where big corporations can't get the money that's necessary.
00:45:46.860
It's just, I, I, I'm horrified that they're, that they're setting us up for a massive collapse and that, and that this type of stuff, even though it doesn't seem to make sense, because as Carol said, there is a ton of liquidity in this market.
00:46:00.340
And I don't think it's just to, you know, increase the bubble further.
00:46:03.440
I think that there's, there's actual like fissures within the economy that are starting to show themselves.
00:46:08.020
Well, I wanted to mention this earlier, um, back when we were talking about people trying to leave like New York and all these big cities.
00:46:13.560
I honestly kind of feel bad for them because they are moving, trying to buy a new house.
00:46:17.640
And then people are saying, well, oh, there's low interest rates and you can get it real cheap.
00:46:20.480
And then in a couple of years, they might lose it and lose their whole livelihood, even though they left these big cities.
00:46:25.900
Because if the Fed, I mean, we could see a moment where a lot of people leave and then just lose their houses and their jobs by leaving also.
00:46:36.460
Well, and there's also, I mean, there's the, the government inflation in terms of all their, um, you know, taxes and whatnot, like property taxes.
00:46:44.340
You know, you go, you buy the house and you think that you can afford it.
00:46:47.760
And then you have this, you know, chain on you from property taxes and the levels that those have increased.
00:46:53.460
Like I'm in, in the wonderful state of Illinois and there are people that I know in the suburbs, you know, two income middle-class families, um, who have had to give up their houses because they bought a house, you know, normal, you know, average suburban house, $5,000 in property taxes, which is still a crazy amount.
00:47:12.760
And then within like a year that goes to 15,000 in property taxes, like who, who, who, who in the middle class can afford to have a recurring payment just for property taxes to the government of $15,000.
00:47:25.180
Oh, and by the way, in Illinois and now everywhere else, you can't deduct that anymore.
00:47:31.360
Well, and staying in the city is also way too expensive.
00:47:34.480
And it seems to me like city governments are trying to trap people in cities at this point where they're talking about removing roads and not allowing people to drive anymore.
00:47:45.900
Like you're going to have no way out of the city.
00:47:49.560
We don't drive in Chicago because you get car jacked.
00:47:59.260
And she rides around in a rickshaw too long, too long.
00:48:14.560
Another super chat from Neil thoughts on the paleo question.
00:48:26.040
The paleo question is, well, yeah, I'm more into the ketogenic diet personally.
00:48:31.640
But the paleo question was about, I think it was Rothbard's creation.
00:48:36.280
I'm not sure if it was him, but it was basically the idea that libertarians should use the Republican Party to further their goals.
00:48:43.640
I am not a huge fan of it personally because I believe the RNC is corrupt to its core.
00:48:49.080
But there's a lot of difference of opinion amongst the libertarians as to which direction to go.
00:48:55.860
I mean, I thought it was more like Rothbard and some other libertarians aligning with paleo conservatives because they became anti-war in the 1990s, basically after the Cold War.
00:49:08.400
I thought it was more like that, not necessarily using the Republican Party, but I think it was also a failed strategy for various reasons.
00:49:18.500
I'm unaffiliated, but as I said, sort of small government, big hair-ish.
00:49:28.540
I think it's the biggest duopoly in the entire world.
00:49:31.440
So I'd like to see fewer party or more parties and fewer, less concentrated power.
00:49:39.440
And at that point, yes, maybe you need to have some alliances to advance certain things.
00:49:45.540
But, you know, in terms of just going fully aligning together, I think that we already have too much concentrated power as it is.
00:49:54.900
And I've heard conservatives make the argument, well, libertarians don't deal in reality.
00:50:05.460
They should kind of make a plan for how reality is right now instead of like, well, in a perfect world, there wouldn't be a duopoly.
00:50:16.660
Also, you have, well, you also have Kyle Kashev tweeting out yesterday that we need to stop letting libertarians define conservatism.
00:50:25.060
Like, even, they don't even, like, they just start saying things about libertarians.
00:50:30.600
Just, I mean, they'll just attack us whenever they can because it's an easy scapegoat whenever they fail.
00:50:39.240
Like, right now, there's a huge fracture in the GOP as it is.
00:50:42.940
I feel like they need to kind of get their own stuff together before they worry about everyone else.
00:50:47.160
Because, like, that, you know, how many people have you seen say, I'm leaving the party or I'm this, you know, or whatever it is.
00:50:53.780
It seems like they don't really know what's going on right now.
00:50:55.820
What I don't understand is they just, they believe that, you know, there may have been shenanigans.
00:51:12.560
And, you know, they believe that their Lord and Savior was removed from his throne unceremoniously and via corruption.
00:51:21.960
And yet they still think that this is salvageable.
00:51:26.260
It's like, if you honestly believe that, and I think there's compelling evidence to consider that at least, then what are we fucking talking about?
00:51:36.440
Do you think that they're not going to do it again?
00:51:40.460
As far as libertarianism supposedly being that idealistic, there's nothing more idealistic than expecting other humans to be able to rule over other humans or rule over you and your life.
00:51:52.980
Yeah, there's also a lot of unicorn stuff that we've seen out of the GOP.
00:51:59.180
Like, if you're going to say, like, not being based in reality, I've heard a lot of stuff over the last year that's, like, nowhere based in reality.
00:52:06.200
So, like, maybe you shouldn't be so loosey-goosey with the pointing fingers there.
00:52:09.780
I think maybe they see you as just, like, oh, potential allies or potential, like, team members that are just, like, fractured.
00:52:20.260
You know, I see conservatives, like, the best of conservatives, the ones that believe in liberty and they believe in gun rights and they believe in small government.
00:52:35.880
But the truth is, when you guys get power, you do nothing to protect our liberty.
00:52:42.100
Am I supposed to just look at your entire history and the past 100 plus years of us just going closer and closer to totalitarianism and consider you a viable, useful tool in this fight?
00:52:55.460
I mean, if Trump, who, in my opinion, was a genuine outsider, was completely defanged and basically assassinated with propaganda because he was, from his inception, they were setting him up for treason and all sorts of shit.
00:53:11.840
I don't know how you can still look at that and believe that this system is salvageable.
00:53:16.160
This is ultimately why I'm an anarchist and I don't think that we should have a government anymore because it's just it's that corrupt.
00:53:37.880
Actually, Trump, I think, is obviously he was an insider.
00:53:41.980
But I think what happened was he became impossible to control.
00:53:50.400
Why would the media have treated him how they did?
00:53:52.320
Because they realized that they weren't able to control him.
00:53:57.940
I mean, isn't the very definition of an insider someone who's playing ball that's controlled opposition?
00:54:05.600
So let's say I think they planned on him being an insider then, I guess.
00:54:12.700
They thought they could turn him like straight guys at Pride.
00:54:20.720
He still wasn't able to get anything done as far as shrinking the size of government.
00:54:27.080
Well, I don't think he had any intent of shrinking the government.
00:54:39.740
We're upset that the trajectory of the nation is terrible.
00:54:42.460
And we all want to figure out a way to fix this.
00:54:45.280
But for the conservatives to look at the libertarians as the reason is very funny to me personally.
00:54:51.380
Because I'm like, we don't have any fucking power.
00:54:53.800
Y'all have had power and you haven't stopped this.
00:54:55.760
So, how are you going to point the finger at us?
00:54:57.480
Shouldn't you be reflecting on yourselves first?
00:55:04.240
I mean, I would like to have the power to protect myself.
00:55:18.540
He was just pulling it out of his own rolls of fat.
00:55:27.000
I paid and hung around homeless shoppers at Short Hills Mall in 0607.
00:55:38.600
The homeless don't really go to Victoria's Secret.
00:55:49.440
Plus, she got the coupon for the free panty, so they had to deliver that stuff.
00:56:00.960
Try the catfish parlor in Austin, Chrissy, and shout out to the pee-pee poo cast.
00:56:13.440
This must be one of your fans, although I do have mentally ill fans, too.
00:56:24.620
Try the catfish parlor in Austin, Chrissy, and shout out to the pee-pee poo cast.
00:56:54.320
Jose is another host that comes on a lot on our podcast.
00:57:02.620
I started laughing because he's the host of No Way Jose podcast.
00:57:14.180
That's usually actually the maximum that he can get to.
00:57:16.480
Do we feel like Eric Cartman would be a better fit for this?
00:57:22.240
Okay, like chicks with daddy issues could be, like, good or bad.
00:57:37.620
I just love that it's not asking, is it too high or too low?
00:57:54.960
I love that you are so innocent you don't know this reference.
00:58:00.740
It's a reference to the Holocaust, so I am sorry.
00:58:12.960
As a big fan of Jewish people, I think the figure was way too high.
00:58:23.300
Do you know about or have any thoughts about quantum currency?
00:58:33.300
I would imagine quantum currency is quantum computing encrypted currency, which seems interesting,
00:58:45.000
It seems like a chat that would come on like TimCast.
00:58:47.940
Maybe they got confused because we are on at the same time.
00:58:52.760
Because it is something that sounds like, hey, what's the long hair guy?
00:59:07.560
As the computer guy, I should probably know something about that, but I do not know enough
00:59:16.200
Is this some, like, okay, this is not a super chat, but the Rothbard diet is mostly gefilte
00:59:29.500
It's an attack on the paleo strategy as well at the same time because you're eating all
00:59:38.580
From Torgo the White, Kyle Kashuv's quote is the perfect example of conservatives are
00:59:58.080
And then you hear, oh, Trump had all these, all the, everything was going to happen in
01:00:06.000
Those two Trumps under Bush really helped us out.
01:00:09.560
It's like, yeah, I think Trump could have been better in his second term.
01:00:19.980
My questioning of the GOP or of Trump or any of that shit as an endorsement of the DNC.
01:00:27.940
I mean, just like if you're, if you're somebody who is a fiscal conservative, whether you're
01:00:32.520
libertarian, independent, fiscally, you know, regular conservative, some, some mix of the
01:00:38.280
right, non-binary conservative, whatever it is.
01:00:40.540
If you look at the, the, the, the amount, the deficit was expanded under Trump that we got
01:00:51.200
If you look at what Mnuchin did, Trump's badgering of the feds to continue to, to bring back down
01:00:59.060
interest rates after they were starting to go up, like all of those kinds of things, no
01:01:02.980
matter what you thought about, you know, his other policies.
01:01:05.780
And there were some of them that made sense and were good, you know, that part, he was
01:01:10.480
not anywhere near the realm of fiscally conservative.
01:01:13.620
He looked much more like a Democrat from that standpoint.
01:01:16.840
And so I think there's a legitimate conservative criticism of his fiscal policy.
01:01:23.040
Fiscally, other than tax rates, he was worse than your average Democrat.
01:01:31.000
You can, you can blame it all on Fauci if you want, but he's still, he still put Fauci on
01:01:37.440
Let's also, because I researched this in a book about this, by the way, if you haven't
01:01:45.520
15 days to slow the spread came out of the Trump administration.
01:01:50.920
They were the ones that handed the playbook to these stupid governors thinking that they
01:01:55.720
were, they were just going to run with 15 days.
01:01:59.660
So in terms of, you know, what kicked this whole thing off in motion, and there were a
01:02:04.020
whole slew of things that kind of where they dropped the ball prior to that.
01:02:07.560
But like that whole brainchild came straight out of a press conference on March 16th from
01:02:14.700
And the other thing you expected from a New York Democrat for like all his life, and
01:02:19.220
then just immediately just turns around like, you know, four years before he gets elected
01:02:23.180
and is like, well, I can get with these guys now, but it's not like he's going to change
01:02:28.840
I mean, he's, he's a progressive, like all the rest of them, pretty much.
01:02:32.480
And the other thing that he did was also establish the federal state of emergency, which allowed
01:02:43.700
And then he talked about how, you know, he wished, he wished that the governors would lift
01:02:49.020
It's like, motherfucker, you gave him this power.
01:02:53.980
So I, that's what bothers me the most about the Trump supporters is that the, especially
01:02:58.740
the ones that hated lockdowns, they have completely given him.
01:03:04.760
It's just like, it's what's, what are we doing here?
01:03:07.040
I mean, I, it, and I'm not, again, I'm not trying to say that like Biden is any better.
01:03:12.840
But like, how, how are you not upset with Trump too?
01:03:17.380
They'll be like, well, what if, uh, what if Hillary was in there at that time?
01:03:27.600
And I'm okay with him giving that power to the States.
01:03:30.640
I feel like that was the right thing, but you shouldn't give them the roadmap that says
01:03:34.820
it's going to be two weeks and oh, it's okay to shut down small businesses first.
01:03:39.080
If there are clusters of this, that, and the other thing that, that was the, the roadmap
01:03:45.300
I think that the authority of, you know, decentralizing that power is okay, but the roadmap is what I
01:03:55.840
However, I would also like them to acknowledge the rest of the bill of rights.
01:03:59.060
Like you can't lock me in my house and put me out of business and allow Amazon and all
01:04:07.120
What's crazy is that they, they locked down people from going to church and these are Trump's
01:04:12.620
supporters and they still didn't say like, they still supported him after that, which
01:04:16.320
is insane to me that he never got shit for that, that he never absolutely ate it on that
01:04:23.540
So I think had they tried the lockdowns under Hillary, there's a chance that we would have
01:04:30.020
So that, that's the other reason I'm like, I don't know if Trump's presidency was any better
01:04:34.980
I mean, at least, at least the conservatives would have been like, uh, no, we're going to
01:04:40.280
You think with Hillary in charge, there'd be more or less fights in Victoria's secret?
01:04:44.780
Uh, I think I would be forced to shop at, at Victoria's secret.
01:04:51.780
All of those girlfriends would be, we'll be fighting at Victoria's secret and throwing
01:04:58.340
I don't know that we would have had lockdowns under Hillary.
01:05:03.620
Because they may have implemented them to get rid of him.
01:05:17.920
Hired terrible neocons who all betrayed, betrayed him.
01:05:21.740
Like as soon as he hired Bolton, I was like, Hey, that ain't, that ain't anti-war brother.
01:05:26.120
I don't know what you're fucking paying attention to, but that dude is responsible for most of
01:05:41.240
I don't know if Trump felt pressured, bullied by, uh,
01:05:45.680
It's, we have no idea how hard it is to be the president.
01:05:50.800
Why didn't he go like balls out and get more done?
01:05:55.240
Like maybe they're like threatening his life or his family or something.
01:06:04.180
But that's, that's why I don't even blame the guy.
01:06:06.460
I'm just saying, I don't think the system is salvageable.
01:06:08.980
Cause if you can have a guy that Trump, who's a billionaire, self-made him, go out and do
01:06:18.740
I mean, I don't see anybody else getting in there.
01:06:20.640
That's going to be like, oh yeah, I'm going to risk my family and my reputation.
01:06:23.720
I'm going to be dragged on media 24 seven for four fucking years straight.
01:06:29.460
And also the government's going to work to undermine me every step of the way.
01:06:33.500
They're not going to actually do any of the things I want to do.
01:06:38.320
You got to, you just got to admit that the bureaucracy is now larger than the government itself.
01:06:46.480
It's, I mean, it's bigger and it's like, it's, it's not going to come down just by one
01:06:52.000
There was also a part of it though, that I blame sort of the average American, I guess somebody
01:06:58.080
who didn't vote for either of the people who were, you know, kind of the main candidates
01:07:02.720
that time around, there was this, like, from the moment that Trump was elected, there
01:07:12.400
I don't know if you guys remember back this far, but people were wearing safety pins.
01:07:21.240
An ally who didn't vote for Trump and you can come talk to, I mean, like people were literally.
01:07:27.500
Like, no, they had one up here and they had one down there.
01:07:35.120
That was part of the biggest problem of Trump's presidency was the way that everybody behaved
01:07:43.640
And I feel like if people would have just like sort of ignored it and went like, you know,
01:07:48.140
whatever, or treated him the way that they treat any other president, like whatever.
01:07:54.880
But, but like, that's what made the whole thing so disdainful.
01:08:00.400
And that's really what ended up with the division that we have now is because the people acted
01:08:13.860
And again, it's like, you don't have to like the guy.
01:08:16.360
You can be critical of like whatever policy, but this whole, like, this is the worst thing
01:08:22.520
And these other people aren't just equally as horrible is, you know, the rest of us
01:08:29.160
Well, they were told that he was the worst thing ever to happen.
01:08:31.740
And they just like, like a mama bird puking it back up.
01:08:36.340
I got a quick critique for the conservatives too.
01:08:38.220
It'd be a lot easier to convince people that you're, uh, I don't know how to phrase this.
01:08:50.600
I'm trying to get, uh, if you guys were willing to talk more openly about the fact that you
01:08:55.860
endorsed that you actually voted for him, because there, I don't know about you guys, but in
01:09:00.360
my life, I know a ton of people that, that are secret Trump supporters.
01:09:04.160
I know hardly anybody who's an overt Trump supporter.
01:09:06.680
So like for people that, that are living in this delusion that there is no one that actually
01:09:12.580
Um, it's very easy for them to be like, well, of course Biden won.
01:09:16.260
Um, but if y'all, if y'all would have stood up at work and said like, yeah, I am a Trump
01:09:20.800
Well, I think we tried to, uh, on a little day called January 6th, but we all know how
01:09:29.980
I think that was, you know, with people being afraid of losing their jobs, et cetera.
01:09:34.740
Like, yeah, I think that was a big, the people really showed up for that despite how stressed
01:09:48.500
Uh, despite the, the violent aspects of it, I thought it was amazing that they were finally
01:09:51.980
willing to actually get in the streets because they had not done anything to protest lockdowns
01:09:58.080
It was disappointing that it had to come down to protecting Trump as opposed to just protecting
01:10:04.480
I would have liked to see them do it all year like Black Lives Matter did.
01:10:07.560
Um, but I was still, I was ecstatic to see them finally rise up.
01:10:11.200
And now, of course, as they finally did, they finally had the courage to do it.
01:10:14.680
They're all labeled terrorists and thrown in Gitmo without trial.
01:10:19.660
And they didn't even release any of the information that was on any of the hard drives that they
01:10:26.660
I mean, but by the way, there was, one guy had a Lego set, guys.
01:10:38.140
I mean, do you know how much it hurts to step on a Lego?
01:10:43.740
I still think, I still think that's why AOC has to see therapist because she probably
01:11:09.940
You guys go ahead and recap it, even though it's on my show.
01:11:18.400
You may have heard of him, but he's, he's got the unregistered podcast.
01:11:21.440
He, he tweeted out something to the effect of like, there's nothing wrong with, uh, or
01:11:27.820
He said, I know people that have had relationships with 13 year olds and they turned out fine.
01:11:36.500
Or they, or they weren't, they weren't upset about it or something like that.
01:11:39.040
What are you people doing to me on this podcast?
01:12:02.380
So I had on Eliza, Eliza blue, uh, that Friday.
01:12:07.120
So I had her on that Friday and he had this huge Twitter explosion with everybody.
01:12:12.340
So he reached out to me and he, cause he's been on my show before and, and he said, Hey,
01:12:16.740
would you mind if I come on to explain further?
01:12:18.620
And I said, well, Hey, I have like the most outspoken, uh, you know, sexual or trafficking
01:12:34.720
Uh, so, so I said, if you want to come on, I'm going to be, she gets the first
01:12:42.220
45 minutes and then you guys can duke it out in the second half.
01:12:44.880
And of course, even, even with that structure, people were still upset with me for talking
01:12:51.200
But anyways, if anyone wants to check out the episode, it's not nearly as, um, upsetting
01:12:58.460
I'm seeing in the chat, people are like, you know, the average bear like does notice
01:13:03.960
The average bear does notice the increase in the price of groceries and just basic stuff.
01:13:09.580
I mean, it's hard to ignore those, those things.
01:13:12.400
But your wages are going to be 50 cents higher, guys.
01:13:18.160
Well, it's also that they'll still gaslight you from the white house.
01:13:21.000
They said that hot dogs this year are 16 cents less on average.
01:13:30.160
You know, as soon as they come out with the like July 4th, like video with how cheap everything
01:13:35.700
is, and they put pork chops as like part of your 4th of July barbecue, you knew the whole
01:13:42.200
I mean, like that was like, it was like, come on.
01:13:44.780
Like, like this is like, could you be any more blatant?
01:13:47.440
You also know that when the white house talks about hot dogs, they're actually talking about
01:13:55.880
Not to mention that, you know, I'm going to a Victoria's Secret tomorrow and I'm going
01:14:04.480
Not to mention that housing costs are up by 25% year over year.
01:14:08.880
And so the 17 cents on hot dogs, is that going to help you with that?
01:14:13.880
Oh, and by the way, BlackRock has basically free money from the taxpayers to compete with
01:14:38.500
God, I had a, I had a point I was going to make, but I lost it.
01:14:58.160
It 100% trended the other day that it was, I think the actual hashtag was for stimulus
01:15:08.240
And it was just a absolutely hellscape of people asking for, we need more money.
01:15:19.440
Given your food budget, I'm not surprised you're not as an advocate for this.
01:15:23.500
Well, calling them stimulus checks is pretty accurate because most people use them on hookers
01:15:30.380
By the way, it's not even that far from the truth.
01:15:38.700
And basically, he said that in the poorest neighborhoods, they have been booking up the
01:15:47.240
He has been, his business is booming specifically from stimulus.
01:15:51.900
This is where the stimulus money is going is to like to party.
01:15:55.940
And he is like, you know, every single week, like you can't even get normal trips to the
01:16:01.200
airport because they're all booked up from all of this extra party money.
01:16:06.540
Is he calling his business like the stimmy limmy or something?
01:16:12.420
I have a buddy that works for enterprise and he said that usually every year, like one
01:16:21.420
of their biggest weekends is whenever everybody gets their tax returns and that's the people
01:16:25.620
just go out and rent a nice car and then go out on the town.
01:16:30.200
This is all a product of a highly functioning society.
01:16:33.660
When anybody gets any money and they go blow it right away.
01:16:36.540
This is, this is definitely a sustainable financial literacy in school.
01:16:41.080
Well, this is the same reason I worked at Victoria's Secret.
01:16:44.980
Everybody's becoming increasingly de-civilized and degenerate.
01:16:49.360
I also, I used to work at a section eight housing and you could tell whenever, like the same
01:16:54.700
time, same time of year, whenever the tax returns hit, you would see a bunch of new TV boxes
01:17:00.360
in the trash because everybody would just go out with their tax returns and buy a new TV
01:17:05.580
Or at least, at least, yeah, I mean, that's, I mean, well, I guess it's all our money.
01:17:09.560
So, but who are we to say what we should spend our money on and what we shouldn't spend our money on?
01:17:13.780
And you notice, it's like the last death rattle.
01:17:15.700
It's like the people that are like, oh, I really do have to get a job.
01:17:21.500
It's like, no, bitch, you really do have to go get a job.
01:17:29.420
Like you can get, anyone who wants a job could have three of them.
01:17:37.740
They're giving you $1,000 bonuses just for like a week.
01:17:43.460
And you have, I mean, I was trying to have a carpenter out to my house and it was hard
01:17:52.280
I mean, it just, I mean, go through four or five different carpenters.
01:17:55.280
They're like, nah, I don't have any workers to help me out.
01:18:00.560
I mean, it's really genuinely hard to get labor and the labor costs are up.
01:18:06.960
Cause when I resell it, I'm going to expect to recoup that money.
01:18:10.020
And if you have that across the board, you have an inflationary pressure that spirals
01:18:15.180
And this is exactly why I advocated against the lockdowns and against the stimulus to
01:18:18.720
help paper over the fucking crater that they created in the economy.
01:18:21.440
And this is everything I listed in May of 2020 on that thread that went super viral
01:18:26.940
was because I knew exactly what was going to fucking happen.
01:18:31.900
They're going to, they're going to run us into the rocks and there's nothing we can do
01:18:39.680
It was up over 400%, but it's back down to a decent level now.
01:18:44.960
I said, you, you haven't had wood in two years.
01:18:57.700
Um, at college in Cali, I would lose my scholarships.
01:19:00.180
If I said, there are two genders or I said, I don't hate Trump sees their endowments.
01:19:54.540
Whenever you go into like interview for the game shows, is that what you bring out?
01:20:00.340
The fun fact is that I hosted a show for Microsoft, like a business show.
01:20:06.060
And what I would do is like in between takes while they were like adjusting the lighting
01:20:14.600
So they have all these takes of me, like doing like the serious Microsoft business and like
01:20:20.360
different cartoon voices and different accents and all that kind of stuff.
01:20:24.260
What, what, what gig do you, what's your dream gig?
01:20:26.300
You want Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, Hollywood Squares.
01:20:31.860
Like I want something like, honestly, press your luck was my dream gig.
01:20:35.680
I'm kind of pissed about that one, but anything where like you can get excited and like you're
01:20:43.420
Like anything like that, where you can like, just kind of like, you get really excited
01:20:46.720
contestants and you can kind of jump up and down and have a lot of, like, I don't want
01:20:50.440
to do anything like super smart, like Jeopardy.
01:20:52.300
I just want to have fun and give money and prizes away.
01:21:00.080
So by the way, Steve, if you don't watch Steve Harvey, Family Feud, it is the best because
01:21:05.760
not only is it a game show, it's just a comedy show of Steve Harvey.
01:21:12.100
I'm talking about like the GSN one and the one that's in syndication is hilarious.
01:21:16.680
Something like that, where I could play off of the different contestants would be really
01:21:22.060
My favorite is when someone says, I'm hearing my audio.
01:21:40.900
She just told us she's working with Bill Gates.
01:21:51.960
I was just going to talk about Steve Harvey and how his reaction when someone gives an
01:21:56.340
answer on the Family Feud that's really inappropriate.
01:22:13.080
And you're going to be telling everybody that Santa has a North Pole waiting for you.
01:22:24.620
So it's definitely like if you don't watch that and you like comedy, like it's really funny.
01:22:30.400
We should bring back the Richard Dawson one, though, just so they have a host that's like
01:22:40.400
Like when I was younger, like I didn't appreciate.
01:22:42.960
But like in retrospect, he was like kind of like had a thing going on.
01:22:52.320
The Deagle report, the CIA release showing seismic population declines by 2024.
01:22:58.240
I'm praying that's because of economic collapse only and immigrants going home, maybe.
01:23:08.720
I have actually talked about it on one of my prior episodes.
01:23:11.760
So, yeah, they said that there was going to be like a 50 percent population decline
01:23:19.640
It was like all all industrialized Western societies.
01:23:25.040
I heard it was a link to the pokey, the hokey pokey.
01:23:32.980
I mean, they don't give a real prognosis as to like why.
01:23:43.840
I mean, yes, it could it could be the the thing that we're not allowed to talk about or it could be, you know, maybe they're just fear mongering about global warming.
01:24:03.100
We're just going to send that many people to Mars.
01:24:05.700
That is a Bill Gates wet dream for sure, though.
01:24:08.440
Chrissy, I have a I have a question for you, if you don't mind.
01:24:17.980
No, I know you are more of a Trump supporter than me.
01:24:26.980
I don't know what your policy or opinion is on immigration, but I'm curious if you would be pro Cuban immigrants, given that they are more American than Americans at this point.
01:24:36.740
Uh, it's tempting, right, because they do tend to vote more Republican, but no, I think I'm I'm I'm I'm very much like anti illegal immigration.
01:24:50.860
And I keep hearing like, oh, they're going to shift them around and put them in like red red counties to make them more blue, like down in Texas.
01:25:04.300
I thought, I mean, my for yourself, Chrissy, I mean, I'm doing to keep go back to doing Kegels and cervical wall.
01:25:18.100
What if we bring the Cuban people in, take their cigars and then kick them out?
01:25:23.380
What about the swap program where we take them in and for everyone we take in, we send out a social.
01:25:35.360
We will bring in anti-socialists and send out the pro-socialists.
01:25:39.480
Bring in the Cubans and kick out the white liberals.
01:25:42.280
Anyone that anyone that went to Ivy League that's graduating over the next 12 months, you go to Cuba.
01:25:54.260
It goes it goes white women first and then white black.
01:26:22.220
There are a lot of people who don't want to be here.
01:26:27.560
Have you guys noticed that all our favorite social superheroes have been pretty quiet on
01:26:54.720
Well, I think AOC is clearly, I think, just a member of the establishment through and through,
01:26:59.460
whereas I think Bernie kind of isn't, which is why the establishment didn't want him in
01:27:05.680
I mean, maybe he's some type of foil or something, but the establishment really worked
01:27:08.680
to not allow Bernie to win the Democratic primary.
01:27:25.740
The Senate budget committee, they put a commie sympathizer in charge of trillions of dollars
01:27:39.620
Yeah, but then I think what you have right now, though, with the Cuba situation, I think
01:27:43.400
is that the elite Democrats from Florida, I guess, are all seeming like they're pushing
01:27:56.000
The mayor of Miami said that we should have military intervention into Cuba.
01:28:08.680
And this is happening right after the Haiti situation as well, where it seems like the
01:28:16.200
U.S. government is angling for military intervention in both places, seemingly.
01:28:22.640
I mean, is there any doubt that we weren't involved in the assassination of the Haitian
01:28:31.440
They literally said that some of the assassins were American, right?
01:28:35.100
They said they were former government employees, too.
01:28:56.360
Yeah, they made it sound like, oh, they're rioting because they don't have their precious
01:29:02.680
Yeah, and then their president gets assassinated, and now the U.S. is like, oh, well, here you
01:29:09.340
Wonderful horsemen, wasn't there, didn't Ryan Dawson say that it was some little bit
01:29:23.120
I couldn't remember if he did give the details on it.
01:29:42.460
Haiti, CCP did Haiti, CCP did Haiti, CCP did Haiti.
01:29:57.920
This is going to be what gets Chrissy banned from YouTube.
01:30:01.520
All I know is that I don't know about those kind of assets.
01:30:04.760
So I'm just going to stay with the assets that I know about.
01:30:19.860
How did everyone use the pandemic to crush the backbone of America?
01:30:26.540
So it's available wherever fine books are sold.
01:30:28.940
But I will tell you, since I like to actually walk the talk,
01:30:32.640
I've been encouraging people to buy it from local bookstores.
01:30:35.580
And if you go to bookshop.org, they'll actually think they're still backordered on it.
01:30:42.020
And they'll eventually get around to fulfilling it from a local bookstore.
01:30:58.500
Hey, Malice was only number one in anarchy, I think.
01:31:03.620
So, again, I've been funneling people away from the big website.
01:31:10.140
So if you find value in doing that, like, please buy it wherever.
01:31:15.820
But I've been trying to get people to support local booksellers.
01:31:28.020
I feel like this is some sort of you've got mail situation or something like that.
01:31:56.340
Until you actually get morbidly obese, I feel like you're not giving your all to this character.
01:32:16.660
I'm like, yeah, I'm just going to tell my wife, hey, my internet friends really want me
01:32:32.160
I'm also going to tell my husband the same thing.
01:32:37.960
That's why I have to go get some ice cream now.
01:32:40.080
Can we have a moment of silence for me finding out that Carol has a husband?
01:33:01.820
I guess we should try to leave it on a high note.
01:33:11.580
To dispel the myth that libertarians don't really live in reality, are there any kind
01:33:16.880
of real-life action items, things that we can do, people can do?
01:33:25.560
At least have some exposure to assets that will be protected if we end up in a hyperinflationary
01:33:35.260
Arm yourself like you're ready for war, even though you're a peaceful person.
01:33:38.780
I think it's really important that we represent a deterrent to a tyrannical government.
01:33:45.140
And then if you want to get involved in politics, I think that you should give serious consideration
01:33:50.040
to not fat Dave Smith, but normal-sized Dave Smith, as I think he will be one of the most
01:33:57.240
compelling candidates that we've had in a very long time.
01:34:04.640
I'm going to talk from the capitalistic side, is that please think about voting with your
01:34:13.780
Right now, or at least before COVID, the economy was divided into half of it with 30.2 million
01:34:21.320
small businesses and half 10,000 to 15,000 large businesses.
01:34:25.340
If you want some additional impediment for us putting more power on the side of that concentrated
01:34:31.520
amount, start to really think about how you're spending your dollars.
01:34:35.520
Don't necessarily go to the chain restaurant every time.
01:34:39.580
Think about where you're buying the war on small business.
01:34:44.760
That really does make a difference, and I don't think that we step into our role in capitalism
01:34:51.200
If you're going to blow your stimulus check on nonsense, blow it at a small business,
01:35:02.980
You blow it on them, they'd help you blow it back.
01:35:07.580
I mean, I would say just talk about what you believe.
01:35:14.060
It's like, we're running out of time here, folks.
01:35:20.460
Like, fucking, like, find some people to do shit with.
01:35:50.740
Yeah, I'm all for, like, fucking keeping sane and self-care and, like, filling your own cup first.
01:35:58.000
Because then you're, you're, if you're not in a good mood and you're not taking care of yourself, like, you're gonna be getting in fights in underwear stores.
01:36:05.300
And, yeah, I'm all for sacrificing a little bit of your, like, public persona or identity or whatever, like, reputation for what you, what you believe in.
01:36:26.220
Thank you, Carol, for risking talking to the best degenerates.
01:36:31.360
She's, she's withstanding all of our, our sexual jokes.
01:36:35.300
Well, yeah, especially after our podcast the other day, you're dealing with us now, so.
01:36:41.060
I would say that if you, if you understand the unsustainable nature of the stimulus-ridden economy, realize that you're living on borrowed time.
01:36:49.100
And every dollar that you get from the government that's printed out of, you know, thin, thin air is an asset that you should be using to better yourself and get yourself in a more financial, financially stable position so that you can then look after those in your family that aren't doing the same.
01:37:03.220
Um, I really think that it's like, it's urgent.
01:37:05.940
It's really urgent that we start to take care of our, our own house first.
01:37:09.980
And then if you can build from there, you might be able to look after your neighbor or your friends or your family, things like that.
01:37:20.420
I mean, you can still do cocaine, but just like on the weekends.
01:37:38.520
No, buy it from the Cuban that just came over from Cuba.
01:37:47.900
To, to just plug it out, everybody buy Carol's book, um, at all the places she just told you to follow her on Twitter at Carol J S Roth.
01:37:58.640
Um, anywhere else they can find you and follow you.
01:38:10.420
And follow Toad and Fat Dave Smith on the Tower Power Hour.
01:38:35.440
No, I mean, our Tower Power Hour is on YouTube right now, mostly under Tower Power Hour.
01:38:39.860
So, and we have, uh, at Tower Gang Pod, I believe is the Twitter account for it.
01:38:44.320
And Dave Smith and myself will be on with these degenerates in two weeks.
01:39:04.520
Do you want, do you want me to give my contacts?
01:39:08.680
Uh, at Liberty Lockdown on Twitter, Liberty Lockdown on YouTube, Spotify, iTunes, uh, Odyssey
01:39:13.980
or Odyssey or whatever you want to pronounce it everywhere else.
01:39:26.080
By the way, now that I'm married, you're the favorite.
01:39:29.980
He was already, he was already planning on doing it to Carol.
01:39:39.960
And by the way, she's smoking and, and super smart.
