I have Michael Malice returning to the podcast You got some good election coverage coming people's way. We got we got we'll have some good coverage and I'm very curious You know, I really haven't Talked too much with Michael about his you know feelings on the election over the last few weeks So I'm very interested to get his take he had one of the funniest Rogan moments Did you see that when they were talking about Kamala Harris
Starting point is 00:01:45 with the Ableist? And Rogan's like, why? Because she's retarded. That was great. That was one of the best all time Rogan moments right there. So OK, so there's a few things that are on my mind that we could talk about. Is it that my special is coming out on Sunday
Starting point is 00:02:01 at 8 PM on my channel, and that everyone should watch it, and that I'll be at the show this weekend? I'm sure that's the top of your mind. That was it. That was number one. That was actually all of it Thanks for tuning in guys. Check out Rob's special. Yes, but that should be mentioned again. I know everybody's very excited about that and and I am as well so Anyway, well, so we'll talk about a few things that are on my mind I will try to take some questions from the chat as well Of course if you want to get in on the chat You got to sign up over at part of the problem comm it also allows you to get all of our episodes live ad free
Starting point is 00:02:35 Uncensored and support the show that you love so much Okay, so Obviously the the last episode we talked a lot about Trump's big week and his, how, you know, his kind of closing pitch to the American people and how it's really going very good for Donald Trump and everything seems to be breaking in his favor. You know, like, I don't know if you're, did I I have I mentioned this before this analogy? But like if you're a basketball fan, you kind of know It's always the the most important thing is like who peaks in the postseason So it's a long season in basketball you play 82 games
Starting point is 00:03:18 It's a lot on your body and you kind of as you go through all of it But what you want to be is like if you you know are With you won your you're on a ten game winning streak going into the playoffs. You're like, yes that's what you want to do you want to peek at the end because the goal is to win the championship and Donald Trump just seems to be peeking as this election ends things look good for him. However Let's check in with the Kamala Harris campaign and see because maybe they're peeking also going into the end Rob let's let's check in.
Starting point is 00:04:10 Now I want each of you to shout your own name. Do that. Because it's about all of us. It's about all of us. Listen, I have fought my whole career to put the people first. Holy, holy shit. career to put the people first. Holy, holy shit, she's bad at this. Man, is she really bad at this? She who can ruin a moment where you have fans chanting your name, and they're all going crazy because now I want everyone to chant their own name. And everyone at once is
Starting point is 00:04:41 willing. Wait, what? We're just all supposed to start chanting our own name? I like, how would that even work? Just take me through this. Just the audio of it. Like how would it, what? And then you just hear a sea of everyone chanting their own name over each other. It's not, it's not going great, but that's just Kamala Harris at a rally. We all know where she thrives is in one on one interviews.
Starting point is 00:05:12 So here is Kamala Harris sitting down for another interview the other day. I promise she's about to. I feel like Kamala Harris right now But what he would do that is about eliminating or reducing the ability of corporations to required be required to pay overtime Overtime pay so you have you could work and the corporations wouldn't have to pay you for for overtime work for free That's right. And overtime means you are actually working a longer day, which means you are more tired, right? Which means it requires more exertion That's why we have overtime pay so you don't take advantage of workers. But what he would do that is about illuminating So there you go
Starting point is 00:06:00 Kamala Harris went on the Shannon sharp podcast to explain overtime work She doesn't really seem to get it But she is very concerned that when Donald Trump is president you will be working for no pay now this might lead one to ask themselves a question like Would do that Why would you just work for no pay? But you don't let silly little things slow you down. You know, like don't don't let any of that stuff get in your way. This is just I mean, she is while Donald Trump is just like, putting on the show of a lifetime Everything she touches is crashing and burning
Starting point is 00:06:47 Just saying I'm not saying I know what's gonna happen in the election. I really I do not Because there's a lot of forces at play But this is Kamala Harris and this is I gotta say I really got to give the credit here to to David Sacks Because I think he's the one who spotted this first which is that he's like she's entering the death spiral where thick he's surging and so she's got to do something she's got to do something but all she can do is shoot herself in the foot it's the only the only option at her disposal is to shoot herself again in the foot. It's the only option at her disposal
Starting point is 00:07:25 is to shoot herself again in the foot. And so she's just doing that over and over again. But you can't just do nothing. Oh, he's headlining the garden. I gotta go do something. But then the something you do is one of those two things that we just played you. It's a bad position to be in for the Kamala Harris campaign.
Starting point is 00:07:46 It's a, the energy of this feels like when someone brings a new person into the friend group and at some point you realize, hey, this guy's a little awkward and he keeps making things uncomfortable and you don't help the situation by having the guy around more. So for example, that first clip where everyone's so happy to be there, they finally got their seats, they still think happy to be there. They finally got their seats They still think Beyonce might be performing And so they're out there and they're cheering Kamala and she just turns it so awkward that they all of them shut down and go Oh, man, it's this lady kind is uncomfortable and the more you roll her out just the more you can have moments like that
Starting point is 00:08:22 Dude, it's like yeah, it's like if you're like out on a date with like a new chick that you're really into or something like that, like you just started dating a girl and you're really into, you're like, oh, this girl is really hot. She's really cool or whatever. And then she just like, you're like, find out she's the worst person, you know,
Starting point is 00:08:40 like as you're out there, it is at the moment like, oh, oh, oh, it's not just a moment of like, a moment like oh it's like oh I have to give up this whole thing that I believe like oh It's all attached so much emotion and investment attached to all of this god I mean, she's just she's just really bad at this and it's a it's Remarkable that there are people that people can rise to the top of politics while being so bad at this part of it, because this part of it isn't really what matters to anyone with power. What matters to people with power is that you'll do backroom deals that give them what they want. And so it's like you just get these people who it's like,
Starting point is 00:09:18 how the hell is Kamala Harris or, you know, Hillary Clinton or any of these? How did they make it to this level? is Kamala Harris or Hillary Clinton or any of these. How did they make it to this level? I mean, again, this is like an old joke I used to have. But being charming is part of it. Putting on a show, all of this, this is part of it. And this is something like the Democrats are just not putting Bill Clinton
Starting point is 00:09:42 or Barack Obama up right now. They're putting these guys up. And you know, all of them have just like, and look, I will say, because I'm about to get into this, I think also one of the things that's kind of becoming clear to me is that I think, and this one I am actually surprised by, Not that I didn't know that Obama had some of these tendencies, but I'm really surprised by how much I think Barack Obama has hurt Kamala Harris in the election. That not only has he not helped her, but like his comments about black men being sexist really backfired, got a lot of people upset about it.
Starting point is 00:10:28 And even though he can give a really nice speech at the DNC, it kind of doesn't really matter because it's like, yeah, but we're not voting for that guy. And we're voting for her. If anything, it's a little bit like if you're making a dating profile, you need to stand next to people shorter and uglier than you. You don't want to be next to someone taller and more handsome. So if you start rolling out Barack Obama, it almost highlights how bad she is. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:51 Yeah, that's right. You kind of need to like, you almost need him to step away so she can sink or swim on her own because yeah, that's literally why Joe Biden had picked her was because she was the uglier, less good at this, even though he's an old senile man, which speaks to how bad she is at it, is that by comparison, you're like, oh yeah, the old senile guy was pretty competent. I mean, I was listening to that lady talk, and at least this guy's a man. Yes.
Starting point is 00:11:16 I mean, look, there is really something about this. When you're asking yourself, how did democratic politics get so stupid all of a sudden? Understand that a big part of that dynamic, not all of it, but a big part of it is that Barack Obama picked Joe Biden to be his VP because he was so mediocre. He would never outshine Barack Obama. And then Barack Obama picked Kamala Harris for the same reasons. You mean Joe Biden did? I'm sorry. Joe Biden picked Kamala Harris for the same reasons.
Starting point is 00:11:51 So she would never outshine him. And then Kamala Harris picked Walsh for the same reason. So that he would... We're two election cycles away from a baby being the Democratic nominate. We're getting dangerously close to the territory where you just have a newborn out there. I mean, you just go this is that's that's who I'm running with. So you guys better deal with me because otherwise you got VP baby here to take it home. But yeah, it's anyway that all of that is does seem to be blowing up in their faces.
Starting point is 00:12:24 It's been quite a Wild wild thing to watch here. Let me uh, by the way, I will periodically take questions from the chat So if you guys have any I'll jump into that But yeah, if there's anything also if there's anything you guys want to talk about a topic or something like that Feel free to to bring it up. I will before I check in on the chat Let me I do want to pull up you could pull it up Natalie if you want to the tweet I sent it to you but there was this this Obama tweet that I just I don't know I found this to be so hilarious that I had to play it on the show or I had to show
Starting point is 00:12:58 it on the show I should say but so Barack Obama posted this tweet today he said I often hear folks say Donald Trump sent me a check during the pandemic. I want to make sure you understand this. Congress sent you a check. By the way, Joe Biden also sent you a check during the pandemic, just like I gave people relief during the Great Recession.
Starting point is 00:13:21 The difference is that we didn't put our name on it because it wasn't about feeding our egos or advancing our politics. It was about helping people. So don't be giving him credit for that and don't give him your vote either. There's only one candidate in this election who cares about you and that's Kamala Harris. Now, if you could get past for a second the insanity of this tweet, If you could get past for a second the insanity of this tweet Just the absolute insanity to say I want to make sure that you understand that Donald Trump didn't give you money
Starting point is 00:14:00 But just so you know Joe Biden also gave you money and I also gave you money But but the difference is that we don't brag about it We don't point out that it was Joe Biden and it was me who gave you money. But the difference is that we don't brag about it. We don't point out that it was Joe Biden and it was me who gave you money. Like the number of contradictions in that tweet. First, he contradicts himself when he says Trump didn't give you money when he says Biden and I also gave you money. Because if you did it, then Trump did it too. It went through the same process that you went through. And then you can't say, I gave you money and Joe Biden gave you money, but we never mentioned that we gave you money because you just mentioned it.
Starting point is 00:14:32 You just mentioned it. So now you are bragging about it. By definition, it's like he just contradicts himself all over the place. But here's something that's actually, and look, I've seen, this is not scientific, it's somewhat anecdotal, but I do feel compelled to say that
Starting point is 00:14:58 this is a thing I've seen unlike several man on the street interviews, and it is not a positive comment about the state of our society, but it's particularly true with people, let's say lower on the socioeconomic ladder, this is a real thing. And the fact that Barack Obama posted it,
Starting point is 00:15:23 I'm like, wow, Their internal data must be showing that this is more of a real thing Then then even I knew that people will go I'm voting for Trump because he gave me a check I That is not something that any of us should feel good about But this is a real thing that people got a check that said Trump at the top and they were like, you know What I just got money from Trump. I'm gonna vote for that guy and it's something I can't even believe it because it's four years later But it's something that people still bring up a lot and the fact that Obama felt That he who's listen his whole mission here has been getting out the black vote for Kamala Harris And you know that that includes lecturing black men about how sexist they are Listen his whole mission here has been getting out the black vote for Kamala Harris
Starting point is 00:16:09 And you know that that includes lecturing black men about how sexist they are but His whole thing here is to basically be like no no that money didn't come from trump and like whatever joe biden gave you a check Too dude, so like I gave you a check. You don't remember. It's like There's something really Sad it's a sad state of affairs when that is actually the reality. The fact that Obama tweeted this really does seem to indicate that at least he believes there are a lot of people who are voting for Trump because they got a stimulus check from them. All right, guys,
Starting point is 00:16:37 let's take a moment and thank our sponsor for today's show, which is monetary metals, an amazing company that is revolutionizing the precious metal space. And right now you can unlock a 12% return on silver, but this is monetary metals thing. It's not just owning precious metals. You're now owning precious metals that work for you that pay you interest in those precious metals. So you can be a part of the first true silver bond since 1834 and you can earn 12% annual interest
Starting point is 00:17:06 on silver paid in silver so you're growing your total ounces over time. Now you must be an accredited investor to participate. It's a three-year term and the bond is financing a publicly traded mining company located in the western United States. Click the link in the episode description or head over to monetary-medals.com for more information on how to participate and to learn more about this company that, like I said, really is revolutionizing the precious metal space and they're run by great people as well.
Starting point is 00:17:33 So check them out, monetary-medals.com. All right, let's get back into the show. So on both sides of this, let's first just start with the bragging about sending people free money. That's the entire game That's why Obamacare existed. That's why Biden's been trying to get your student debt revoked Supreme Court keeps saying that it's not constitutional and he keeps doing it They love giving you free stuff because it keeps them in office and you know, usually that's the Democrats thing is hey
Starting point is 00:18:01 We're gonna send you free stuff. We're gonna get you this. We're gonna get you these entitlement programs We're gonna make sure your college is paid for that's usually the Democrats thing is, hey, we're gonna send you free stuff. We're gonna get you these entitlement programs. We're gonna make sure your college is paid for. That's usually the Democrats game. But in terms of bragging about the free money that came to you from government, every single time you get free money from government, it's a devil's deal. It's like eating cake.
Starting point is 00:18:18 You get free cake and you start eating it, it doesn't taste delicious and it gives you hemorrhoids. So to speak to the government specifically, here's an example, the $25,000 that Kamala Harris wants to give people so that they can buy their house. Do you think that's gonna help anybody? Of course not, it drives up your house and now you're more indebted.
Starting point is 00:18:34 It literally did nothing for you. You just have a bigger debt bill that you'll have to pay. Same thing happened when they made funding available for colleges, colleges went, oh look, we can charge more. And then you get stuck with more debt. But let's talk specifically about the Trump checks. Firstly, I think the money printing that happened during COVID quite clearly led to inflation.
Starting point is 00:18:56 But aside from that, it was a bribe because they needed to bail out the banks again. And they knew that they couldn't just bail out the banks. And so they said, you know what? I guess this time we'll send everyone a check for a thousand dollars. And you know what else that check for a thousand dollars allowed the government to do? To tell you that you can't go to work because don't worry, we're going to send you a check to your door. That was not, talk about not free money. They knew that you, that the American
Starting point is 00:19:17 people wouldn't allow for the banks to be bailed out and they wouldn't be compliant on the healthcare protocols of shutting down your business. So they took away your ability to work, they took away your freedoms, they locked you down, and they bailed out the banks and, oh wow, I had a check for a grand that then led to inflation a year later. That was a real win, that free check that you got. That buried you financially for years afterward.
Starting point is 00:19:43 Look, well said, and you're obviously 100%, right? Look, even if you just remove things down to their most basic level of theory, or the basic level of understanding, right? Just understand, government can't give you anything because it has nothing. The government doesn't have anything to give you. The government isn't like a factory
Starting point is 00:20:06 that's producing widgets. You know, if someone has a factory that's producing widgets, they could give you some widgets. We make them here. You know, there's nothing like that in Washington, D.C., okay? They don't make anything. And so what all they have is the ability to tax and the ability to print money and the ability to borrow money. But in order to give you money if they tax you, they have to take it from you in order to give it to you. If they're printing money, as you pointed out, they're going to devalue the currency.
Starting point is 00:20:36 And if they're borrowing money, it's just a promise to tax you in the future or print the money in the future. So there's no way to do it without hurting you. But I would also, as you bring this up, I was just having this conversation with a friend of mine yesterday and I think one thing to keep in mind. I know 2020 was four years ago But it is important to keep in mind that as you point this out They so the government shut down the country
Starting point is 00:21:00 deemed tens of millions of workers non-essential Just decided your your job isn't essential, and in a totally arbitrary way. And when I say that, like, no, it is an arbitrary value judgment to say that church is non-essential, but the liquor store is. That's not like nobody should get to make that decision Then I'm not little you know I say this is somebody who doesn't go to church and does enjoy a cocktail So I'm not like I'm not on to you, but I also find the liquor store to be essential. That's not the point I'm making I just want to be clear But like there were all types of it and so they locked down the country and yes
Starting point is 00:21:44 Then they do another round of banker bailouts. Now you got to remember, okay, I'm going I know I'm going into conspiracy territory a little bit here, but just hear me out. I'm not claiming anything with certainty, but I'm just I think this is something that's important to pay attention to. So when they bailed out the banks in 2008 and 2009, it led to huge protests. And there were two major protest movements. One was on the left and one was on the right.
Starting point is 00:22:14 And they both started in protest of the banker ballots. Of course, the one on the left was called Occupy Wall Street and the one on the right was called the Tea Party. was called Occupy Wall Street and the one on the right was called the Tea Party. But what very few people ever focus on is the fact that both of them started for the same reasons. It was the bailouts of the banks. That's what they were both upset about. Now obviously one of them was more right-wing and one of them was more left-wing so Occupy was a little bit more colored by, you know, left-wing views on economics.
Starting point is 00:22:50 They would focus more on stuff like the profits of the big banks. And the right-wing was talking more about government spending and debt and deficits and things like that. But they both started as a reaction. I mean, the Tea Party started from the Ron Paul campaigns, then it was tarp really that got the thing going and so they were both reactions Against the the bailout of the banks and then you understand that in 2020 Not only did they lock down the country, but then they bailed the banks out again and in a different way this time but a banker bailout nonetheless and then
Starting point is 00:23:26 Just keep this in mind. Okay Then and I remember being aware of this I remember talking to you about this Rob like when it first happened before any of the protests But when when the George Floyd thing first happened and I remember just seeing it Everywhere and also keep in mind. This is the height of lockdowns. Everyone's home, you know, everybody was was home and every single media outlet decided to obsessively focus on on George Floyd and All I'm saying is that it was pretty clear. I remember talking about this at the time. I go like oh, they're picking this one
Starting point is 00:24:06 They they've picked this one and they've decided We're gonna make a huge thing out of this because just saying the George Floyd situation was you know, it's pretty horrible What what happened to that guy but like? stuff like that does happen it It's a country of 330 million people cops rough a guy up and he ends up dying at you know later like that happens Okay now it was a particularly egregious one, but they also kind of picked that and All I'm saying is that it very clearly seems like it was a real concerted effort
Starting point is 00:24:39 to make sure that the Protests that are inevitably on their way are going to be about this thing, not about this, that we're going to get you focused on this issue. And look, dude, if you just there's some people who have done way deeper dives into this than I have. But if you follow the money and all of the fucking crazy things that were happening through the summer of love, where they were all in Kamala Harris was in on this as well. They were bailing out the worst, most violent offenders to make sure they could be back on the street the next day for the next day's riots. There was
Starting point is 00:25:16 and look even in that time in Time magazine where you had the Democratic operatives bragging about how easy it was for them to turn it off I just think about that for a second, you know, there's been in you know, the last four years there have been several different like fairly high-profile examples where like cops killed a black person, you know Never led to protests like that You know? Never led to protests like that. Never got the wall-to-wall coverage in the corporate media, like the George Floyd one did.
Starting point is 00:25:49 There has been no Black Lives Matter protest during Joe Biden's presidency. Isn't that convenient? Isn't that interesting? Like, did we solve that problem? Is police brutality not an issue anymore? Is the, you know, the racist cops, are those not an issue anymore? You know what I mean? It is just something to really look back on and be like,
Starting point is 00:26:11 wow, I'm not saying there was no organic elements to the 2020 protests, but there were certainly inorganic elements to it as well. This was really pushed. And, you know, I gotta say, very intelligently, if you really think about it, because they really did suck all of the air out of the room with just once that happened, it's like, there was just going to be no more talk of banker bailouts or
Starting point is 00:26:40 lockdowns or stuff like that. It's like people were protesting racism. There were few opportunities to be outside and socialize where you didn't have to be afraid of COVID unless you were protesting George Floyd, which somehow protected you. So there really weren't that many. Like as Rob makes the joke, remember that this was real.
Starting point is 00:27:01 That this is not, it sounds like, oh, Rob's just saying something ridiculous, but he's making fun of the fact that the actual groups of scientists in the middle of lockdowns got together to explain to you how it was okay to go outside now as long as you were protesting racism because racism was a virus too and it was an even more dangerous virus than COVID. And like this the whole apparatus that was locking down the country turned and said but this is your one exception. You're allowed to do it if it's for George Floyd protests.
Starting point is 00:27:38 Unbelievable. All right guys, let's take a moment and thank our sponsor for today's show, which is Cal she do you think you know who will win the presidential election? Do you know how many seats the Democrats or Republicans will win in the house or the Senate? Well, there's finally a legal way to bet on the outcome of these elections and that is the platform known as Cal she Cal she is the first legal exchange where you can trade and bet on any event including but not limited to Elections Cal she went to court and won legal approval for election betting for the first time in over a hundred years They have markets on who will win the presidential election who will control the house and Senate who will win swing states and more Cal she is already being used by hundreds of thousands of people and has facilitated
Starting point is 00:28:25 close to a billion dollars worth of trades. Let's take an example. So right now, Trump and Kamala Harris, they're trading about 50-50. So if you bet on one, you're going to just about double your money. So if you think you know who's going to win the presidential election, that's an opportunity right there.

I Still say in my all of my days I've never seen anything as crazy as that that that one takes the cake in terms of all of the all of the times that a Media narrative like changed, you know, like and there's been some good ones. Don't get me wrong Obviously, we just lived through a pretty amazing one where it went from literally in a in not in a day in two hours It went from Joe Biden as sharp as attack and you're a neo-nazi if you say he's senile and two hours later
Starting point is 00:29:34 They were like we really do need to look for another candidate You know what I mean? Like that was a pretty crazy one, but nothing will ever top three months of you must live under house arrest Or you're an awful person going to the beach is a crime you know taking your kids to a playground having a funeral for your dad no you don't get to do that you have to put all of that on on hold and then the next day go and actually it's actually it's totally cool to get together in large groups of hundreds of thousands of people
Starting point is 00:30:06 That's cool. You're allowed to do that go stand shoulder to shoulder That's fine. Call fall over each other. No problem. It's cool. It's racism I'm you're like dude, you just you just demanded that I give up my entire life It's just like I don't know. I I've never seen anything like that. And I think that I do think that you know, you mentioned the other day we were doing a show together, not this podcast, but we were doing Dustin's show, the guy who owns the the Comedy Club of Kansas City. And you were talking about just like kind of the the the the attachment that we made with our audience during COVID. And I do think that more so than weapons of mass destruction or like any other major government lie that led to like a horrible policy.
Starting point is 00:30:58 I do think that that did more damage to the credibility of the the media and the scientific establishment and all of that. I think that did more damage to them than any other thing. Because it was just too crazy. It was too crazy to figure out it was all bullshit. And they just stole months of your life from you. And it's like, it was like, oh, my God, they did they lied to me to steal. I mean, listen, again, it is not I've talked to a lot of people and heard a lot of different stories about, you know, people's COVID experiences.
Starting point is 00:31:31 But these people lost their family members and didn't go to the funeral. That's like that's a fucking human rights violation on a profound level to make it a crime to have a funeral. I mean, like, if you really think about what what a profound level that is in the most like ancient nomadic tribal groups that archaeologists have found one of literally one of the major Characteristics that they this is part of it's not the entirety but it's part of how they determine when hope homo sapiens are Considered homo sapiens, you know what?
Starting point is 00:32:09 I mean, it's like there's like a few different activities that they start going like at this point 250,000 years ago or whatever we think there were what is modern man and one of them is doing rituals for their dead It is like on every single society that's ever existed has had their own different form of it. There's something deeply spiritual and psychological about it. To criminalize that, to rob that from people is like a grotesque human rights violation. On the plus side, my family over COVID started doing graveside funerals, which is like the tailgate party of funerals. And it cuts out, it cuts out the whole driving over the elaborate long speeches, you just you get together, you get it done. And
Starting point is 00:32:50 it's shorter, you know, less people. And so I did that the one good thing from COVID graveside funerals, I endorse that. All right, that you know, when you put it like that, I may have to walk back my previous comments that actually, that actually does sound saying. All right. Let me let me jump into some of the comments here. Mike Costa show says Tom Woods book was insane.
Starting point is 00:33:12 Lol. Yes, it was. It was excellent. It was a diary of a psychosis. If you want to if you want to relive the covid insanity, it's the best book out there on it. I mean, it's just it's amazing. It's infuriating. It's everything. It's everything. And man, yeah, I mean, it's, it's great, but it is, uh, it is furious. It's interesting watching all these people in the comments talking about like,
Starting point is 00:33:37 uh, you got who found, uh, um, who found, you know, us through COVID or found us through malice. All right, let me write, Naderi Johnson. Maybe I shouldn't give full names when I do this. Oh, it's pretty generic. Yeah, it is. I don't think you're gonna find a Johnson out there.
Starting point is 00:33:59 That's true. All right, I know you have a strong distaste for income tax and excessive taxation in general by the federal government I tend to agree How do you rectify that with the immense national debt that our government has? On one hand the taxation is already out of control and on the other it seems like cutting spending alone Won't be enough to rein in inflation Uh the debt needs paid. I guess it's a non-issue with the amount Republicans talk about it these days
Starting point is 00:34:31 Time to buy more gold and silver, I guess Well, yeah, I mean I agree with you at the end there doesn't seem like anyone's gonna do anything about it soon, but you know like I I look at it like this like first of all spending cuts can solve the problem like You can you you can't in fact, it's the only thing that could solve the problem there's no conceivable way and this is just numbers like there's no conceivable way you could tax us to the point of
Starting point is 00:35:09 is like there's no conceivable way you could tax us to the point of paying off the debt. The only answer is cutting spending. And as far as the debt needing to be paid, I got to say I don't agree with that. I take the old Rothbardian position. I think we should default on the debt. I've long held that view. I'm not for austerity. I'm not for paying off the debt, I'm for just walking away from it. And that will suck for people who are holding government debt,
Starting point is 00:35:31 and it would be bad for our credit rating and all of that. But then the result of that would be like the same thing anybody does who just has way too much debt that they can't repay it. We're already bankrupt. We might as well admit that and You know in for taxing is just robbing people and was robbing, you know It's like I mean imagine like there's no difference economically or morally Then if you just get a gun and go around and stick up all your neighbors just rob them I mean, that's what taxes are you're just taking people's stuff And if you think you can if you think that's a recipe for prosperity, you're gonna have to explain that one to me How can you go around taking everybody's stuff and that's supposed to make them richer? I don't think so
Starting point is 00:36:15 I think it's good for you. It's like I think it's a plan to make you richer But I don't think it's a plan to make your community richer to go around and rob people and then brag that some of those crumbs Make it back to them. You know, oh, I robbed you. Yeah, but I spent some money at the local general store. So like, you know, it kind of went back into the economy. I don't think so. Oh, okay, Dave, what do you think the odds are that all of the swing states go blue but Trump is able to flip a couple of
Starting point is 00:36:45 blue states blue strongholds like Illinois very unlikely you know I mean it's like it's probably not impossible but you know there are trends that are national trends and if Donald Trump loses every one of the swing states, Donald Trump is losing this election and he's losing it bad. Like it's very hard to imagine a world where all of the swing states go blue, but some blue states end up going red. You get what I'm saying? Like if it, if Trump is having that bad of a night that he loses all the swing
Starting point is 00:37:23 states, he is, he is done. That's unfortunately just not going to work. Oh Lord. All right, a lot of people are asking about the Piers Morgan show from the same leader. Oh, I saw a clip and that was fiery and you were throwing some bombshells at people. I mean, you know what, it was almost like when you watch a Like a real trained MMA guy with like three people attacking and just like out of a movie the way they flip one guy in The back and then take out the next guy because it was chaotic and you were just dismantling them. Well, thank you
Starting point is 00:37:59 I appreciate that. I mean I just So yeah, I mean there's a bunch of questions about it But what are your thoughts on your Pierce Morgan appearance yesterday? I mean, I you that. I mean, I just so yeah, I mean, there's a bunch of questions about it. But what are your thoughts on your Pierce Morgan appearance yesterday? I mean, I, you know, look, I felt like I'll be honest. I I my honest takeaway from it was I was like, I don't know if I should do the show anymore. And and I don't mean that as like, like Pierce has been nothing but cool to me. And it's a big show. It gets lots of views. And he's had me on there as a regular for a while now.
Starting point is 00:38:33 But it's just it's like he's building a thing where it's like the game is becoming to just like shout over everybody and I just I don't know I can't stand that. I was like and you know weirdly like Destiny is just I just feel so weird even referring to another man as Destiny. I don't know he He's just, like, the worst. I just think he's, like, an incredibly bizarre human being who's just one of the... Maybe the most disingenuous person, like, in this space. He's just, like, will say things he doesn't believe.
Starting point is 00:39:17 He's an intensely dishonest person. I mean, intensely, to the point that, like, Desi's done shit like the... I don't know much about the guy, but I know that he one time he just made up that we were debating and just said, just started a YouTube video and went Destiny versus Dave Smith live here.
Starting point is 00:39:34 And I just found out because my Twitter starts blowing up and everyone's going, oh, you backed out of the debate. You post out, cause he went on, on air and said, Dave didn't show. Dave backed out of the debate in this video titled Dave Smith verse destiny. Literally just made it all up. We never communicated about it. Never had anything scheduled, never planned on it. Nothing. You're just a liar. That's just who he's he will just lie through his fucking teeth. And he's also just this smarmy little wimp of a man.
Starting point is 00:40:04 And I just can't stand them. But it's a fun marketing trick I should start doing that with Joe Biden, Kamala Harris. I gotta say there was almost something I weirdly respected about it. Whatever. What a weirdo. But and of course it's just intensely personally a very weird person like a very bizarre person. You green screen yourself into a debate hall and you're like Mark Cuban didn't show up but I will still address this audience. Yeah, it's like something on that level. Now, Mehdi, I've never met him before I don't believe but so we started talking before the show. We actually had like a real interesting conversation.
Starting point is 00:40:40 You know, I know he's um, he's a huge critic of Israel and he's he's anti-war in general But we started talking and like he was like, um He was telling me about how he reads anti-war.com all the time And he's been following the site since justin romando was was running it back in the day and like but like, uh, Shout out to the late great justin romando. And so we had like an interesting conversation before the show I thought he was kind of interesting. I didn't even know what we were going to talk about on the show. I was like, there might be some stuff where me and him are arguing against the other two, you know?
Starting point is 00:41:09 Like I wasn't sure. But as soon as it started, I mean, like, I don't know what to say. Both him and Destiny, their style and tactics of doing these shows, I find appalling. And not just like appalling, it's like I look at both of them and I go like, how do you not just feel terrible about yourself right now? I mean, they do this thing where they just try to... I mean, I'm not saying like, look, in any debate, people are going to step on each other's toes, you're gonna be interruptions, there'll be some things like that.
Starting point is 00:41:46 But you don't just do that the whole time and just literally try to not let anyone else get a word in and every single time they talk you're gonna interrupt them. Dude, Metty was doing this thing. I mean, first up to Sarah Palin, like, I don't like Sarah Palin. I've never been a big fan of hers. I find her totally unimpressive and I think John McCain and this is really saying something I think was the worst presidential candidate of my lifetime and not like in though He not like the way Kamala Harris is the worst like I mean in terms of like what he stood for was just the most
Starting point is 00:42:18 Evil candidate but like even just the way many was talking to her. You're like Jesus, dude Like it's just so uncomfortable. You're being such a shitty human being right now. And he would do this thing. I mean, dude, it's like I don't know what to say. It like it reminds you of like, I don't know, like you ever like argue with your drunk girlfriend when you were a senior in high school and you're just arguing with like a drunk girl.
Starting point is 00:42:43 And that was my goal. But go 20 years later than yes. Yeah. And you're just arguing with like a drunk girl. I mean, I was not cool. It's like talking to that. But go 20 years later, then yes. Yeah. Well, okay. So it's arguing with a drunk woman. I don't know what to say. Like he would do this thing where he'll interrupt you with a question and then just keep asking
Starting point is 00:42:56 the question. So the whole time you talk, there's no trying to get the answer out of you. It's just I don't want to let the audience hear what you're saying So I'll ask this question over and up so, you know, like you'll start saying something and you'll be like well listen Trump So is this you go like did he lie about the insurrection though? Did he lie about the insurrection? Did he lie about the insurrection? Did he lie about the insurrection? Did he lie about like like dude? Are we fucking children here? like how do you I don't understand how you can do this and look yourself in the mirror like I and look like I
Starting point is 00:43:27 Like mixing it up. I like doing debates I do a lot of debates and the reason why I do very well in debates is because It's not that I'm so great or anything It's just like I have a better argument than the other side So I just happen to be in the camp of the people who are right about stuff. And I've read all the guys who are really super smart and were right about stuff and sorry,
Starting point is 00:43:51 I've read the stuff you've read too and my guys have smarter arguments than yours. So like I just, I have a huge advantage in all of these debates because I'm just arguing the right side. Like just to be clear, right? Like when I debated Chris Cuomo, the takeaway from that isn't that like
Starting point is 00:44:06 I'm so much better at the art of debate than Chris Cuomo is You know what I'm saying? The point is that I'm just on the right side like if we had to switch and he got to argue my side and I had To argue his side. He'd probably body me too. I don't know. I'm this this side is clearly right But there's this weird thing where like when you're doing it The game I'm playing is trying to present the best argument You know and like the game they're playing is trying to win every point while not letting you talk and interrupting you and being so Cunty that you kind of like lose your cool and I I did kind of leave just being like, I just don't,
Starting point is 00:44:46 I don't think I want to do that. You know, like there's the way like when I said before that, you know, like look, there's going to be in any debate. There's going to be I'm not saying like there's going to be some interrupting. There will be some talking over each other. And of course, there's always some performance element to it.
Starting point is 00:45:04 There's always some like, you know, there's tactics in debates and I'm not above using certain tactics. But the tactics are usually like, I'm trying to ask you questions until I find a contradiction in your argument. You know, and then I could point out the contradiction in your argument.
Starting point is 00:45:20 I'm trying to reducto absurdum the point you're making to take it to its logical conclusion and prove how ridiculous it is and then walk back to be like, well, look, it's still ridiculous when you argue for it like this. The tactic isn't just I'm going to go na na na na na while you talk. Like it's almost like like I'm not I'm not complaining about fouls. Like I used to I used to play streetball all the time. That was my favorite thing to do when when I was a kid. We just go play street ball all the time. That was my favorite thing to do when when I was a kid, we just go play
Starting point is 00:45:47 street ball after school, right? And when you play street basketball, it's always. You know, you kind of call your own fouls, but it's rougher than playing like in an organized game of basketball, like people foul all the time. You're not
Starting point is 00:46:01 calling little tiki tack fouls. You got to be like hit really hard for you to call it. So like I'm not against a debate like that. Now, let's play streetball. Let's like I would someone might talk over someone We could be rough. We could even be insulting all of that But there's a difference between that and like if you go to play a pickup game of three-on-three basketball and immediately the defender just hugs you Just wraps their arms around you and tries to bear hug you and you're like, oh well, then I can't play basketball Now we just have to fistfight. Do you know what mean? Like, you're like, now it's a fight. It's not a game of basketball anymore. And I got to say there is like, watching the read
Starting point is 00:46:35 the response to to Pierce Morgan yesterday was kind of fascinating to me because there were like, I mean, you can go look on social media in the comments or anything. There's a ton of people who are were like, Dave is the only adult in the room here. And Dave just dominated all of these guys. And then there were there were people who were like, Oh, Dave got destroyed. Look, he was quiet here. He wasn't even saying anything. He was just laughing. And it's like, dude, what am I going to do? He wasn't even saying anything. He was just laughing and it's like dude. What am I gonna do? Scream over everybody so no one can hear anything. It's just if that you know, I saw somebody on Twitter Said they want to see
Starting point is 00:47:17 Medi Hassan Against the guy who's like the son of one of the Hamas guys who's pro-Israel. I can't remember his name, but he's another guy who's just no, literally if you go watch his debates, he just insults you and then yells over you. And I was like, it was mind boggling to me that anyone wants to see that debate. You want to see a debate with two people who will just scream over each other the entire time. Anyway, I guess I'm just kind of fine with being like, all right, I will take all of the intelligent people who like who looked at that
Starting point is 00:47:53 and when Dave was the adult in the room and you guys can have all the people who just want to see a food fight of some sort. Like, OK, fair deal. But I don't know, like, like my value that I bring to these things is like, I go there and I'll make better points than everyone else is making. But if I'm not allowed to make my points, like if it's not even like, hey, I could get three sentences out without being
Starting point is 00:48:18 interrupted, which I do not think I did once in that whole show, it does feel like maybe I don't need to do this. Like, I don't know. I might tell them that like I'm just not going to do the panels anymore. If they want to have me for like a one-on-one debate, I'll do that. But it's just the like I even I got to say at the end of the show and again, like I like him. It's not nothing against him. He's been a cool guy to me.
Starting point is 00:48:41 But Piers Morgan like as soon as the show stopped, he was like, that was great guys. Excellent. And I was like, Really? Like you thought that was excellent. I'm like embarrassed. Like it's like, I just I also particularly don't you hate Rob? I mean, whenever there's like, you ever see like on a podcast or on a TV or show something when there's an argument where people just talk over each other. And I don don't mean like for a second they talk over each other like that happens all the time I mean like when you're just like you're making the decision I'm going to continue going with my thing and you're like no i'm going to continue going with my thing and we're just both going
Starting point is 00:49:17 To talk clearly nobody can hear what anybody's saying and and also as the listener I hate that and i'm always so aware of it when it's happening on the show. I'm like, Oh, dude, I would be like miserable listening to this right now. And it does seem to some degree, that's what Pierce is kind of trying to create. That I guess it does very well in the numbers for him. But there's just a lot. There's a lot of that on his show. And that's just really not my deal. I don't I don't know. Like, again, it's like the basketball thing. It's like, I don't know what to do. Now, I think we should
Starting point is 00:49:51 just fistfight. I don't know what to do with this fucking energy. And it's very I find I don't know, maybe this is not the right thing to say. But I find it very feminine and very like passive aggressive. I just don't. I don't know. I don't know. I mean, what I don't know, you know, I'm curious if any of you guys in the chat here, because a bunch of you guys were asking about this, but tell me your feelings on it. I mean, like, I'm very open to getting feedback on this. Like, what did you think of the show? Do you think I should keep doing Pierce Morgan show? I mean I think with
Starting point is 00:50:31 To me it seems like with guys like that who are and again, I'm not talking about like oh People who are like aggressive or might interrupt you a little bit. I'm talking about that shit I'm talking about where many will just go I'm gonna keep asking this question until you're done talking if you're doing that and I'm gonna debate you it almost it It has to be in some type of structured debate where it's like you get a five-minute opening I get a five-minute opening you get a rebuttal I get a rebuttal because otherwise like this is stupid This is all really dumb. Like you're not even getting to hear what I say. They would constantly do this thing I mean I called out Uh destiny for it a few times. I know I saw he tweeted it was a bloodbath. We destroyed those guys and you're like again
Starting point is 00:51:14 Just like everything he doesn't mean a word. He says um But there were times where he would interrupt me after three words and just start responding to a thing that you're like dude You're just guessing what I was gonna say and just start responding to a thing that you're like, dude, you're just guessing what I was going to say and responding to that. But you guessed wrong. You got it completely wrong. That wasn't even what I was saying. And so I don't know. I don't know how you guys feel, but to me, that stuff is a kind of seems like a waste of time.

Um, Mike cost the show says you should debate Constantine or destiny one on one on your show with Rob as a proctor. Um, what moderator I guess is that proctor is that the proctologist? I've always wanted to do that. All right, there you go. Um, I, I, we're, I I'm in talks with a constant in the skies about setting that up.
Starting point is 00:53:07 So hopefully we do that first. Chris says you were able to call those BS tactics out and make good points that non-biased watchers noticed and can be convinced of. Yeah, I mean, look, that's true. But I guess it's just, like the thing is that Pierce Morgan does have a huge audience and I'm still at a point in my career
Starting point is 00:53:32 where I wanna get in front of as many huge audiences as I can. It's how we grow this show and it's how I get the shit that I wanna say out to more people. It's just, it's, um, it's a labor to have to do that for an hour and constantly be calling out the bullshit tactics and then attempting to squeeze in a thought.
Starting point is 00:53:55 And then also, I guess there's just like, you know, there's a little bit of my own thing where it's like, and then when I finally get a thing out, then Pierce has to, of course, like throw it to Sarah Palin, who's just going to say something dumb and useless. And it's like, no, that was all valuable time that could have been used saying anything. And then he's and then each of them is going to get their own time to like just say more nonsense. And I'm like, oh, my God, just get to the point where I get. And then what happens after the time? Then when Piers finally comes to me, he ask me some question that I don't really give
Starting point is 00:54:26 a shit about and I'm like that's not even what I wanted to say so I don't know so that is do compound skills rates Douglas Murray Sam Harris or Ben Shapiro those would be fun dude I'll fucking you know I'll do any one of those in a heartbeat like I'll do any one of those in a heartbeat like I'll do any one of those Douglas Murray Sam Harris or Ben Shapiro any one of those three I like I will I'll debate them right now you know what I mean like if you if right now Natalie had one of them that she could bring into the show I'd be like okay let's do that this will be the next two hours. I'll debate them.
Starting point is 00:55:05 I don't need to prepare. I don't need to plan it. I will debate any one of those three guys anytime, anywhere. By the way, I mean, you know, I'm exaggerating. I actually have to leave fairly soon and go pick my daughter up. But, you know, you get the point. I would do it.
Starting point is 00:55:21 All right, we'll take a couple more questions here. Dave, you would have been better if you read up many is how to win arguments book before the debate. Yeah evidently I don't know. I've been I did not know that he wrote a book on how to win arguments but I have heard that since yesterday's show. I do not. What does his book say. Just ask ask the same question because now if you want to win an argument You got to be like a 16 year old girl about it All right, you got to really just interrupt you but you know what? by the way you know what I'm saying like that um, there is a thing like you'll see it online on online videos sometimes like where it'll be like
Starting point is 00:56:00 to like 16 year old girls in the hood like like about to get in a fist fight. And they're like just talking to each other. And one of them is like, why you kiss my mans though? Why you kiss my mans though? Why you kiss my mans? And they just say it like on repeat over and over and over. And you're like, what are you?
Starting point is 00:56:16 Now, it kind of makes sense in a way when you're just trying to hype yourself up for a fist fight, you kind of get what they're doing. You know what I mean? Like you've I've seen that before in fight video I don't know why that lady kissed that guy's man though well look I'm not saying it's not a fair question I'm just saying you're probably not gonna get an answer with this tactic that we ever see like in a fistfight video like sometimes I've seen with guys too we're like they'll you know like they'll do something to kind of get
Starting point is 00:56:41 themselves ready like it's not even really about talking shit, they're talking to themselves and you'll see the guy being like, you fucked my girl, you fucked my girl though, dude, you fucked my girl. And it's like, he's just getting himself ready to punch you. Okay, maybe it makes sense in that situation, but like on a TV show where we're like debating ideas,
Starting point is 00:56:59 it's just like the most bonkers thing ever. I mean, I remember literally sitting there watching him doing this to Sarah Palin and I'm like looking at him So I'm sitting here. He's next to me Sarah Palin and then Pierce Morgan and I'm looking at him and then looking at Pierce and Then looking at him and then looking at and the whole time. I'm like because you're not gonna like You're not gonna try to jump in on this and just be like hey like let her What's the point of having a host here if you're not just gonna I mean like whatever let him give him his time to respond and fucking
Starting point is 00:57:26 You know, he'll probably wreck her like I agree with him on a lot of shit that I disagree with her on and like Talk about foreign policy or anything. He's gonna fucking destroy her but like Let her get her thing out at least because otherwise because the thing is like at least to me The way I look at these like debates or these shows It's almost like my attitude is like I'd be stealing from myself If I did that like I gotta let you get your point out so then I can destroy your point because your point's stupid So like if I don't let you get your point out, then I don't get to destroy it. You know what I mean, but it's like If I don't let you get your point out, then I don't get to destroy it. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:58:04 But it's like they don't really feel like they can destroy it maybe or something. I don't know. This is very, very bizarre. This is a whole different game, which I think at one point I actually said, literally, to Destiny on the show. I was like, you're playing a different game than me right now, and your game is stupid. All right, Jason writes, it was embarrassing for both of them.
Starting point is 00:58:25 It wasn't a very constructive conversation, but I think the contrast between you and the other two made clear you were the only one there in good faith, and the audience probably saw that. Also, Sarah Palin was the most random addition to that panel. Yes, that was a bizarre... Maybe Sarah Palin looks at the Kamala Harris run and sees that dumb bitches are making a comeback I knew it I knew we were going to I knew we'd come back eventually it's like a like people who have like a Like pogs in their attic or something. Yeah, like they're back. I got a whole attic full of them All right, let me ask this. Matthew, thoughts on J.D.
Starting point is 00:59:06 Vance saying he's coming around on Ron Paul's argument to end the Fed. I said that clip the other day. That was a good clip. No, it was. It was interesting. I mean, like, you know, he kind of like hedged a little bit like he was like, I'm not exactly a Ron Paulian, but Ron Paul does seem to be right when he talked about this thing with the Federal Reserve. And it's like, yeah, no, Ron Paul was right about everything. So that's a good but I will say, I do think, you know, I kind of mentioned this on the
Starting point is 00:59:33 show yesterday, but there is there's no question that, you know, with with JD Vance and the fake Rama Swami and Tucker Carlson and Joe Rogan and Bobby Kennedy jr. And Elon Musk like with that group there is you know it's not that they're all 100 percenters or anything even close to that like none of them are like strict libertarians but libertarian ideas are rattling around in all of their heads you know and to you know on some issues They're like exceptionally good and then I mean not you know, there's differences between all of them with the vague being probably the best
Starting point is 01:00:17 But that yeah, just the fact what was really interesting to me about that moment was that JD Vance offered Ron Paul It's not like someone like said to him like what how do you feel about that Ron Paul guy? Like someone basically just talked about inflation and then he was like, well, you know LeBron Paul always said this and I don't agree with him on everything But I think he did make a good point about this and that was just like I just thought there was something that warmed my soul That was just, like, I just thought there was something that warmed my soul, that, like, the topic of monetary policy came up, and what the vice presidential candidate immediately thought of was Ron Paul. That, to me, is like, you know, that's not nothing,
Starting point is 01:00:54 and I know, like, libertarians get discouraged sometimes because it's like, you know, we're losing. But that is, you know, I think there's something pretty cool about that and kind of promising. And it's worth paying attention to and not ignoring that. So yeah, it's good. Anytime anyone brings up Ron Paul's name and mentions that he got something right,
Starting point is 01:01:18 I think that's good. Here, let's do another question or two. Leo writes, exactly Dave Pierce is just trying to get sensational clips. He's scummy in my opinion. Well, look, I don't again, like I said, the guy's been a good guy to me and I do I do feel a sense of like gratitude for people who put me on shows with big audiences. He is kind of the Jerry Springer of this world, you know, and that's kind of what he's building. And that can be fun sometimes. I'm not like against that. You know, there have been I've had done episodes of his show that I thought were really
Starting point is 01:02:01 enjoyable and I've watched episodes of the show that I really loved and thought were really good. The thing about it is that I just don't watch the ones that are shit shows. I just have no interest in that. And so I watch the ones where there's actually a debate on. If he interviews John Mearsheimer or something like that, it's like, yeah, I'd love to watch that. But I just don't, you
Starting point is 01:02:25 know, I don't I don't care about watching or participating in the shit show things. I just I find them. I just find them dumb. I don't know. Okay. Someone said I should start I should start moderating Pierce's show. I like that. Mehdi Hassan being told, I hope your beeper doesn't go off live on CNN was interesting. Yeah, I did see that.
Starting point is 01:02:55 Did you see that? Yeah, I thought it was, I didn't really even understand the conversation, nor did I understand the comment But seems like the news is just evolving into a big game of shouting how dare you and then going oh wow we finally We got our how dare you moment and the guy even apologized Yeah, speaking of of shit shows that show on CNN that I just see clips from something. It's like that's their Version of the Jerry Springer show or whatever they do like six panelists or something like that it's like ridiculous it should be against
Starting point is 01:03:29 the law there you hear me I'm dropping all libertarianism for this it should be illegal to have six panelists on a cable news show like what are you doing really filling an hour with nothing instead of instead of us possibly having a dialogue about anything Let's all yell a talking point and get upset with each other and then it's just like imagine There's six people there you got commercial breaks, and then you're gonna bring up like the most important topic in the world You know The future of our country you have 15 seconds go ahead Rob and you gotta be of our country. You have 15 seconds. Go ahead, Rob. And you gotta be like, it's in trouble. We should make it good. And
Starting point is 01:04:07 they're going excellent point over to you. What do you know, like, but anyway, so the guy, Ryan, I know him, I have not I haven't talked to him in a while, but I know him. He came. He came out to the gas digital studios to interview me like a decade ago. Maybe not a decade eight years ago something like that. It was at Ralph's apartment. It was before we had the studio open on in Manhattan there says Ralph when we first started gas digital Ralph just made like one of the rooms in his apartment a podcast studio and we just all broadcast it out of
Starting point is 01:04:44 Ralph's house. He still misses those days if If he'll tell you otherwise, but he loved it. He loved having all of us there. But yeah, he came out and interviewed me. I always liked that guy. And he's a yeah, he's like a regular on that CNN show. And he's always you know, like being you know, him versus the five other panelists or whatever. I don't I don't know you know it was like the way I looked at it was I thought he kind of made a dumb joke and like it was just it popped into his head and he thought it was funny so he said it and then he apologized for saying that he's like I didn't mean it like that and then of course Maddie Hassan which just like the slimmiest thing ever then of course he always has to use these like woke leftist tactics. So it's like did you threaten to kill me on national television? You threatened to kill me. Do you want to kill me?
Starting point is 01:05:32 Do you want to kill me? Do you want to get you know, of course he does that just ask the question over is just like what we're supposed to pretend this was like some major offense like I'm as big a critic of Israel as anybody. He made a pager joke. I don't know. It's silly The joke didn't really land. It wasn't the best joke, you know, it's just something came in his mind Did he spit it out? We've all been there a time or two rub for a whole career
