You wish he would have ran for office this year, but he's not yet all libertarians. When I get a podcast, I think a year and two months ago with another lady named Joe Jorgensen, she is the reason she brought us together. What an incredible special moment that we had together. Dave Smith is a comedian, probably one of the most powerful voices on social media today on many different topics. If you don't know

Starting point is 00:01:10 about him, you're gonna learn about him today. Give it up, Dave Smith! What are we talking about? Man, what a man. Grab a seat, grab a seat. Thank you. It's a little chillion here. Let's do this. Kay, how many guys watched the podcast this morning, by the way? Anybody watching any of this one? Does your whole thing, you just got to watch a clip, brother, what'd you watch?

Starting point is 00:01:40 Your whole thing. Parts of it. Let me just tell you, whoever, by the way, let me put it to you guys this way. How crazy was this morning with our podcast. The guests we had on the podcast today, I don't know the last time he was trending. It's first to say 2016. An hour after the podcast, he's been trending all day

Starting point is 00:01:58 on Twitter today. All day, thanks to the friendly conversation we had on the podcast today, which is fantastic. For those of you that haven't seen it, we'll give you a clip, you'll get a good understanding of it. Day for the audience, that doesn't know you. Do you mind taking a minute and just introducing yourself to everybody? We've got a lot of topics to go through.

Starting point is 00:02:16 Some of you that are here for the first time, we're going to talk a lot of politics today. We're going to talk some business today. We're going to talk a lot of politics.. We're gonna talk some business today. We're gonna talk a lot of politics. We got some crazy things that's going on. We got a couple of weird videos to give you. We're gonna talk about the movie Sound of Freedom. Anybody seen the movie Sound of Freedom? Yes or no?

Starting point is 00:02:35 Record breaking. It just hit a hundred million dollars, by the way. It tops mission impossible. So we'll talk about that. We'll talk about a few other things. Matt's got a few things to talk about with pay raises, as well as a story that came out from insider. Americans are moving to Japan for its safety and affordability.

Starting point is 00:02:57 I can totally see Okia for moving to Japan for safety and totally see that part. And then we got a couple of other weird things going on. One of the topics here that Adam was really insisting we have to talk about. It's a topic that title here will give it away. Marriage outdated, two out of five adults think the tradition no longer matters.

Starting point is 00:03:17 We're gonna see how you feel about it. We're gonna see how Adam feels about it. Everybody else here is married, but maybe Adam's gonna have a different perspective. Maybe we're gonna get married after the show, maybe there's someone in the crowd. What we got? I believe in miracles. That's a tough one here.

Starting point is 00:03:28 But we'll see what happens. So, Dave, for people that don't know you, if you don't mind taking a moment and introducing yourself. Sure. I'm Dave Smith. I was the campaign director for Anthony Weiner. We didn't quite get him over the hump, but we did what we could. Now, I'm Dave. I'm a stand-up comedian and a libertarian podcast toast and talker of shit. Talker of shit. Yes, talker of shit, talker. There's no question about it.

Starting point is 00:03:56 So I think we just kind of talk about what happened today and we'll go on to all the other topics, right? Rob, do you mind showing a glimpse of what happened today on the podcast? Now, how many of you know who Anthony Weiner is? Ray Zanif, you know who Anthony Weiner is? How many of you guys don't know who he is? Ray Zanif, you have no clue who Anthony Weiner is. Okay. How would you describe who Anthony Weiner is?

Starting point is 00:04:17 Okay, so Anthony Weiner was a congressman from my hometown in New York City, and he's a congressman named Weiner. It's not a winer. And he, no, unfortunately, it's pronounced Weiner. And he accidentally tweeted a dick pick. Now, in his defense, these were the early days of Twitter, and we all made mistakes.

Starting point is 00:04:44 Of course. But he was trying to direct message a dick pic to some chick and he accidentally just tweeted it. And then he immediately- And 14 year old chick. No, no, no, this is not the 14 year old. That came later. Oh, my bad. He was just trying to message some chick of age, just good Christian fun. And so now this is the early days of Twitter, OK? So he tweeted it instead of sending the message, immediately realized he tweeted it, and then hit Delete. And I guarantee in his mind he went, caught it. Because he didn't understand how the internet works.

Starting point is 00:05:20 So he deleted it, but there were 500,000 screen grabs of this thing already. And so he was forced to resign in disgrace for being a congressman named Weiner who tweeted a dick back. By the way, can we do a poll P.B.D.? Real talk. Men. Right now, Ray J. Hanif got a picture, dick pic in your phone right now in the camera. Wow, so Paula. And by the way, men, men just before you answer, come on, we will be checking phones. So we're gonna find out.

Starting point is 00:05:49 We'll be confiscating phones by the end of the show. By the way, I know you got something, oh, come on, stop it wrong. What Matt just asked, what FYI PHP, just some of some of you guys that are here, this is not the typical way we call it, the convention, but get used to it. This is the hard guess.

Starting point is 00:06:05 That's the problem. Paul has started it. So, but go ahead. So, what else could you say about him? So, side from that, what happened with Wiener? I won't point this guy's about to be mayor. He was number two in a campaign for New York City. So, he made a comeback after having to resign and disgrace.

Starting point is 00:06:19 He comes back, he's running for mayor of New York City, not a small job. He is in the top of the polls when yet more dick picks come out. And that's New York City, listen, we're a harsh but fair people. Like we were still considering him after the first dick pick. But then the second dick, we were like, dick pick me once, shame on you. The second dick pick, we were like, that's too much to go find. So you plummeted in the polls.

Starting point is 00:06:47 Now, Anthony Weiner also was married to Uma Abedin. Uma Abedin, if I'm pronouncing your name right, who is Hillary Clinton's right hand. Can you show the picture? I'll go for it. She's Hillary Clinton's like closest advisor, highest level confident, and there's some speculation,

Starting point is 00:07:05 maybe even more. I don't know about that, but. So then weiner, in 2016, another scandal comes out where this time I think he had actually message an underage girl, and this was a whole thing. One, I forget exactly how it went down, but the NYPD went and rated his house.

Starting point is 00:07:27 They seized his laptop. Now, they realized that on this laptop, there are a ton of emails from his wife, which also include a whole bunch of emails from Hillary Clinton. And this is actually what prompted Komi to reopen the Hillary Clinton investigation just a couple weeks before the election. So this guy in some ways got Donald Trump elected president.

Starting point is 00:07:53 It was certainly one of the... He's an American hero. Yeah, listen. He did the country service. At the end of the game, it all starts with a dictate. I want to make this guy come. You try making an omelet without without a few dick pecs. So having said that, this is what happened on today's podcast, a very friendly conversation

Starting point is 00:08:10 we're having. And I simply asked the question. It was not a crazy question. It was a simple question, and it let it. So probably if you got it, if you can show this clip so we can get a reaction to it and then we'll go from there. And Paula Grober, Danny Kassolero, can you see the video or no, because I don't see the video on the cameras?

Starting point is 00:08:28 Just so you know, I don't see myself on the videos here. Ilana, if you can put the videos here, so we can see them, the way it was this morning because right now I'm seeing myself. Okay, perfect. So if not, if you want to go to the, is this it? This is a one minute clip. Perfect. That's what I want you to show. Go for it. Oh, man Paula Grover Danny Not this one. Not this one. No, no. I want you to go to the one go and that's why you take me go to my personal account Go to my personal account if you can show the screen with Twitter if you just stay here with me

Starting point is 00:09:01 I don't need to see myself stay you go if you go to my personal account and go a little more I'm going to go back to the position. I'm going to go back to the position. I'm going to go back to the position. I'm going to go back to the position. I'm going to go back to the position. I'm going to go back to the

Starting point is 00:09:12 position. I'm going to go back to the position. I'm going to go back to the position. I'm going to go back to the position. I'm going to go back to the position. I'm going to go back to the position. I'm going to go back to the position. I'm going to go back to the

I'm going to go back to the position. I'm going to go back to the position. I'm going to go back to the position.

I'm going to go back to the position. I'm going to go back to the position. I'm going to go back to the position. I'm going to go back to the position. I'm going to go back to the position. I'm going to go back to the position. I'm going to go back to the position. I'm going to stand up for. Trust me, we are standing up for them more than you are standing up for them. Let's say you better get back to that list because we're going to clear some people's names today. My question for you is, my question for you is, how is it that in the last 50 years, we don't have a single candidate. Everybody has their own, hey, John F.K. was a playboy with Marilyn Monroe, Trump, Karen, Medougo, Stormy Daniels, you know, George Bush, Link to 9-11

Starting point is 00:09:46 and weapons of mass destruction, Bill Clinton, Link to Arkansas, women, all this others, everybody has a reputation. How is it that the reputation that follows them as people close to them die? Why is that a story that many people believe in? Why is that? The Clintonons in their 70s yet? If I you don't think I can make a list of other people who are 70 something years old and say this person

Starting point is 00:10:13 I haven't done that with Bush. How come to heaven done that with Bush? She's in the same age. I have no freaking idea why I haven't done that with none of the trust. But so are you saying so you agree with what I'm saying but none I would Reagan. So how come to have a none that would carry? What are you making about these men and women? Who is so many people close to them? Die.

Starting point is 00:10:30 How is it so many people close to everybody? Die. How are you suggesting? Okay. I'm asking the question. You're asking a bizarre question. Exactly. Did people die?

Starting point is 00:10:39 Did people die? No, what pisses me off? And I'm going to say this again because you're apparently you're not listening to me. You had a list of people off an obscure website that conspiracy theory taking a venn diagram of everyone that ever worked in the orbit of someone who served in public life for 50 years. And you listed them including people in the military,

Starting point is 00:11:01 including strangers you could not pull out of it. And you are implying that there's something to fear. Let me finish my thought. Let me finish my thought. Please do so, because I got another question. Let me finish my thought. You're implying both with the question and with the website. The website says it explicitly.

Starting point is 00:11:15 You're implying it. Let me finish. Go ahead. You're implying that something's done. You're implying that something's done. Go for it. You are implying that something nefarious is his foot both with the question and with the list.

Starting point is 00:11:28 Hillary Clinton, she's a big girl. I'm a big boy, you're a big boy. The people that you just listed. Listen to me, no, these are obscure people that you could not pull out of. You're a pretty politician, buddy. Wait a minute, hold on, let me, let me, let me, let me, you know what, you are, you are the classic bull,

Starting point is 00:11:43 you list someone's name and you you gonna go back and everybody that's Are you gonna go? You know what are you gonna clarify? I don't really know that at home in a attack on me. Yeah, he's good at somehow clear that person's name There's an anybody at this table. That's a bigger bully. I tell you. Oh, yeah, you just listed some stranger with with VSC with P.S.A. pinning good for you. You're reading some good for you. You're reading a conspiracy website.

Starting point is 00:12:07 I'm sure you some people say. Some people say, look at your website. I'm just saying to you, you want to be a conspiracy website. You want to be a, you want to be a, literally this one on phone.

Starting point is 00:12:18 Two hours. Well, technically the, the awkwardness started before the podcast. Five minutes before the podcast. It was very disrespectful when he showed up. Yeah. Intentionally, perhaps. And he apologized in the last 10 minutes,

Starting point is 00:12:30 which was respectful for him to do it. Yeah. He was being a dick. Maybe a dick pick. Yeah. No, he didn't text me anything. He didn't text me anything. He didn't get any text from afterwards.

Starting point is 00:12:40 Check your phone, Pat. No, no, I'm not going to get any text from him. Check it out. But listen, from your perspective, you were saying something in a back about him on how this happened. You made a point right now about the fact that if it wasn't for him, maybe Trump doesn't become

Starting point is 00:12:54 a president, and you're absolutely right indirectly. Well, look, the thing is, in an election as close as the 2016 election was, any one major factor is the difference. So that, any one major factor, you know, kind of is the difference. So, you know, that was certainly a major factor. I just can't get past, look man, that this guy was sexting with an underage girl, totally humiliated his family publicly,

Starting point is 00:13:19 and then the idea that he's just like morally lecturing you, that you had the nerve to bring up the fact that it like a ridiculous amount of people very close to the Clintons have died. And like what you're just not allowed to, but you didn't say the Clintons have murdered these people. You went, hey, what's up with this? And just like the moral like condescending to you as if this was some outrageous offense, like what we're not allowed to even think of the possibility that maybe politicians have people

Starting point is 00:13:49 murdered like now who's being naive. Okay, you know, like that famous line from the godfather. Look, these people, the Clintons, these are people who we all know have had people murdered in mass numbers. We just call that foreign policy. We just call that when they decide we're gonna go on a bombing campaign and Iraq is Bill Clinton did throughout both of his terms, had a massive blockade around Iraq where the UN estimated 500,000 children starved to death. Okay? This was the UN's estimates.

Starting point is 00:14:17 I'm not sure if they're right or not. But the idea that people who do that for a living would be so uncomfortable, also off the clock, being like, yeah, okay, with this guy being killed, is not that wild of a jump to me. And if you want to do a deep dive into it, I'm not going to go full Alex Jones here, but there's a lot of very suspicious deaths around the Clintons, and it's totally fair to bring that up. Yeah, it's, it's, by the way, I will say, have you seen his documentary or no, the documentary

Starting point is 00:14:44 called Weiner in a set of porn? No, no, it's, I did, I did see it, I did. I will say have you seen his documentary or no the document or called weener and I Did I did I did I did I forgot about it. I did it's the documentary of his come back when I watch it originally I thought it starts in a weird way. I'm like here's a documentary winner last night. I get home Vinnie. Where's Vinnie? Vinnie you told me to watch Vinnie somewhere on here Yeah, he said pad you may want to watch his documentary. I get home at midnight from here And I sit down. I'm like, I watch half of it. I watch the other half in the morning. Next thing, you know, an hour and a half later,

Starting point is 00:15:08 I'm finishing the whole thing. It feels like five minutes. What they did during that campaign with him and his wife, everybody has to watch because the one area you got to give him credit, this guy was an incredible campaigner. And if there's one quality that he has, that's very hard for most people to have.

Starting point is 00:15:25 And you almost need this because obviously, if you can get away with the texting side, set the texting part aside and you just kind of float and set the under the 18 side. He's a super competitive, psychopath competitor like many of these other guys. But the guy is shameless. And there was an element of being shameless and relentless that he was not gonna let that. Right after the second story comes out, he says, babe, there's a scene, you guys will see this.

Starting point is 00:15:54 Right? There's like, so you're gonna get in the video or what? We gotta make a campaign video. It says, a story just came out that you just texted a 50. Do you want to get here in this video or not? We need to make a campaign video. Do you understand what I just said? There's a one point, if you remember, I actually forgot about this documentary,

Starting point is 00:16:11 but I did watch it. There's one point, it was one of those amazing things I've ever seen in a documentary. If you remember right at the end, when the whole thing is just collapsing for them. And everything is going down and is collapsing in the polls and it's clearly not happening. And the guy behind the camera,

Starting point is 00:16:24 he's in this moment where he's just so down. And the guy behind the camera, he's in this moment where he's just so down. And the guy behind the camera actually asks him, he goes, why are you letting us do this? Like why are you letting us record this moment? And he's just like, I don't know. Oh, we asked him the question today. Adam, I think you asked him the question today. What was his answer to you?

Starting point is 00:16:40 He says, I said, have you seen it? He says, I've never seen the documentary. And so how come you never seen it? He says, for an opportunity one day in an interview like this to tell you, I've never seen it. I said, but why haven't you? So why do you even let people, why do you do it? What was the purpose of doing it? He says, I don't know. So people can kind of see what the story was like behind closed doors. You know, but when we asked him the question, I said, so what do you think about Hillary Clinton? You know, honorable, honest people, very honorable, very honest, great people, etc.

Starting point is 00:17:08 This guy literally sounded like a full-blown flat carrier and the word that came out, I don't want to speculate anything, but I'll tell you the word that came out of my mind. And this word, I've got to give credit to this word to I believe Vinnie if I'm not mistaken. You ever heard what a dead man switch is? You ever heard of a dead man switch? Can you pull up the definition of a dead man switch? A dead man's switch, okay? Okay, pull it up, zoom in, so we can read this out.

Starting point is 00:17:35 If you can't move your feet, I can't see it. Yes, sir. As a switch that is designed to be activated or deactivated, if a human operator go a little bit to the right, human operator becomes a little bit to the right human operator becomes in Capacitated in Capacitated and capacitated such as through death loss or loss of consciousness or being bodily removed from control Originally applied originally applied to switches on a vehicle so meaning if

Starting point is 00:18:00 Because he knows everything I said Anthony you know you know You know you know. You know you know. And there was a moment, it's like I'm saying, I don't for a fact, you know what? Nobody here knows anything. I don't know anything. And he's looking at me like, you know, how are you alive?

Starting point is 00:18:17 How are you alive? The only way you can be alive is because of this. Where they fear if they do something that maybe like this is gonna come out and something's gonna trigger story being emailed to everybody in media and they're gonna be like holy shit. So that is the only way I can in my mind justify

Starting point is 00:18:32 why he's alive, why he builds them up, why they protect each other and why the other people are sitting there saying, let's leave this guy alone. Now, obviously all of this is speculation. Yeah. No one knows if there's credibility behind it or not, but it's what's speculating. Well, I think that like one of the things that we kind of learned

Starting point is 00:18:49 from the whole Jeffrey Epstein scandal is that there are at least in this one major like example, there are these attempts to like gather blackmail, unvery powerful people. And this is part of the reason why really fucked up people rise to the top. Because people who are, say, like, if you're, say, texting with an underage girl and someone has information about that, they now can control you completely. That's what the whole Jeffery Epstein thing was essentially. He'd invite these powerful people out to parties. There'd be like, there's parties, there's tons of chicks there. There'd be cameras in every room.

Starting point is 00:19:26 You go there, you hook up with one of the chicks. The next day, Jeffrey Epstein goes, by the way, she was 15, and also you're gonna be voting no on this legislation that's coming across your desk next week. Like that was essential. There's some speculation whether he was working for the CIA or Mossad or who he was working for exactly, but that's basically the operation.

Starting point is 00:19:43 My guess would be someone like Anthony Weiner. We may know some of the dirt on him, but who knows how much dirt all of these people have on him. So he may be very required to when Hillary Clinton comes up, you go to bat defending what a noble person she is or else. You know what's crazy Pat that blows my mind that So many people are oblivious to this How much back-end crap goes on?

Starting point is 00:20:15 Well, there's blackmailing each other like for example you think about like the Clintons for example You're dealing about these powerful people. They've been in power like to a normal everyday person like you and me You don't think about killing somebody because you don't have a lot to lose You know they need to lose you lose to lose. You don't have anything to lose. You lose a job, you'll get your next one. You lose whatever, company fails, you're only making $2,300,000 a year, you go start another company. But when you're in power for so many years

Starting point is 00:20:35 at the highest level of your life, and you're making this much money and that chair that you have makes you so much money, you'll do anything to keep it. But everyday people can't think that way because you don't even imagine of killing your boss if they fire you because the reality is what do you have to lose? You don't have a lot to lose. But when you have your entire power to lose and even the Bible says about the corrupts people, King David did it. That's why he went

Starting point is 00:20:58 to go sleep with the wife of this general and then wanted to cover up by killing the putting the general in the front lines to have him killed. God's men have done this. Well, make sure these politicians are not doing that. I mean, the Bible tells us it shows us examples of this. So the fact that in politics, when people like you defend your candidate as if they were never to do it, your party is the one that, oh my God, it's like, bro, you can't imagine what's going on behind the scenes, they have to keep their power and they will compromise

Starting point is 00:21:23 and they will kill if they have to just like King David killed in order to keep his secret, the fact that he had impregnated the wife of one of his generals. I gotta say, it's very soothing to know you have no desire to kill your boss like any guy. That's why I don't do well with bosses because I do have those thoughts. So, you know, and with my record, you know, I come through. By the way, Ricky walks in, we're having dinner. I say, a day this is a mad machine, a sapala,

Starting point is 00:21:52 you know, here's who they are, this is what they do, here's Ivan. Here's Radolfo and Cessi Vargas, they're doing this, they're doing, here's Ricky, just got out of jail, just last week and. It's all very cool, good to meet you. I don't know, I looked at it, checked out to me. I was like, welcome home, dude.

Starting point is 00:22:08 I'll teach you the pages. The only person, everybody. You got to know the only person here looks like they're dressed appropriately for the location in South Florida. We got to give it up. Ricky's out there. Look at him right there.

Starting point is 00:22:19 With the cab, with the shirt, we're dressed in suits, the heater is on. Anyways, let's go to the next story. Next story, marriage outdated. Marriage outdated, Adam be ready. Two in five young adults, thing that picture is kind of selling the idea. Yeah, exactly.

Starting point is 00:22:36 To in five young adults think the tradition no longer matters, a survey reveals that two in five young adults consider marriage and outdated tradition with 85% believe in that a fulfilling and committed relationship doesn't require marriage. The sentiment is more prominent among women 52%. Wow 41% men. The survey reflects a broader trend as one in four 40 roles in the US have never married. And 34% of people 15 and older have never been married, 15 and older, 15 and older have never been married.

Starting point is 00:23:11 The rising cost of weddings, a major deterrent, a 73% of millennials and genders, considering you two expensive young adults feel judged for not being married, especially by their mothers, 69% of women, 27% of men, fear of divorce is also significant. In fact, with 47% expressing concerns and many couples, lack plans for shared responsibilities like pets and children in case of a breakup.

Starting point is 00:23:37 So Adam, what do we think about this article here? Well, I guess marriage worth it is not worth it. What are your thoughts on this? I mean, let me just say this. I think that at the end of the day men and women are better together I think we're here with PHP I think you guys how many how many of you guys are married couples working together Literally everyone and I'm not pandering to the audience. I generally believe that respect 90% of hands

Starting point is 00:24:03 We just went up. Yes. Well, I don't know what that was. But you might have saw that I was trending on social media, me and my ex-girlfriend, Chelsea Handler, out bad breakup. Yeah, hard breaking, I remember you were most on the body. You know, to that used up 50-year-old lady vibe. And I think there's two things going on here. I think number one, women, have been fed a bowl of lies from modern day feminism, telling

Starting point is 00:24:32 them that they don't need a man, go out work, like make your money. Why need a man in your life, just do it by yourself. And I think that's just an absolute shame, because I think that women, the number one role of a woman, whether it's... Here we go. Here it is. I think, and I ask married women all the time.

Starting point is 00:24:50 Get the shoes ready, lady. Here we go. Ladies. I don't care how much money you make, what you do for business, the best thing you've ever done is have children and raise great children, okay? I'm looking at many women right here, as amazing a Shina is,

Starting point is 00:25:04 and as amazing as she is and as amazing as Marlene is whoever's out there, your kids are the best. Are they not? Okay, you would trade everything you're doing. They were just recently, you know, it's been summer, kids been home. It's like, as my kids are not good, they're not going to school right now. I know parents feel it, you know, if you got kids at the house. And I know Matt, but here, doesn't kid you know what I'm saying about this brother. And then I think that women, when they enter this modern day

Starting point is 00:25:34 mindset of feminism, men, when they make money, they look for dependence. Yo, I'm a man, I made my money, let me go find my girl, I'm a family, I'm going to do my thing, a lot of women are like, I'm independent, I don't need my man. my money, let me go find my girl, I'm a family, I'm gonna do my thing, a lot of women are like, I'm independent, I don't need my man, so it's sort of counterintuitive. Men are very fearful these days, why, because of the court systems.

Starting point is 00:25:54 98% of alimony are men paying women. So 98%, not 90, like, these are very high numbers, so I do a show called Sawzcast where Finance meets Romance, and I have these difficult conversations And he's like, he's a very high number. So I do a show called Saw's Cast where finance meets romance. And I have these difficult conversations about pre-nubs, like little plug there, you like that pet. And like you just saw the soccer player who hit his assets in his mom's name

Starting point is 00:26:20 and the woman divorced him. And basically what happened was she came after his assets. He's like, I ain't got no money, baby. Like, I got nothing. The mom had it all. And ironically enough, she's a hot model. She makes a million bucks a year. Now she's paying him, Alamoney allegedly.

Starting point is 00:26:35 That's beautiful. So I think, yeah. Come on, guys. We only win 2% of the time. Yeah, exactly. You have to celebrate. You don't realize that the leader's bullet since Eric a horis. So that's what's beautiful.

Starting point is 00:26:47 Because whoever gets the worst, Eric is going to be paying me. So I don't have any people. My plexa, Eric a horis. Well, he just got out of jail. Everything's in his mom name. We have nothing works. I'm so, I think what society is lacking is genuine examples of what great relationships and marriages and families look like.

Starting point is 00:27:07 That's why I love PBD and his family because what an amazing situation. The other person that I would constantly look at and be like, wow, that's the man is Tom Brady. Superbowl winning quarterback, GQ stud, millionaire, this, that, the other model wife, Jazelle, hot, this, family, kids, and it's like, she leaves Tom Brady. And I say this all the time, it's like, Jazelle, I know you're hot and all, but good luck finding another Tom Brady, right? So I think society, what's the Wall Street Journal article

Starting point is 00:27:38 about crumbling values in America today, religion, family values, community service, marriage. Like, I think we're trending the wrong way and I think that it's incumbent on men and women to understand what's happening in society today. And not just like, oh, Adam, you're an asshole, you're a showver. It's no, I wanna get married, I wanna have a family, I wanna have kids, but I also wanna be aware

Starting point is 00:28:00 of the pitfalls of what's going on today. Yeah. Well, it's like reading this article. I mean, it's just, it's very, to me, it's very sad. Number one, because it's just, like you said, it's a clear sign of like societal decay that we would even be in this situation. Look, the objective reality is that marriage

Starting point is 00:28:19 is the best situation for children. And that should be our priority. What's best for the children? And there's something so perverse about our current culture where there's so much focus on kind of like you, the individual. This is one of the things that drives me crazy about always celebrating people who come out as trans. And they're like, oh, this is wonderful.

Starting point is 00:28:42 You're being who you are. You know, you are always a woman and you have to live as you feel. And like, no one ever seems to're like, oh, this is wonderful. You're being who you are. You know, you are always a woman and you have to live as you feel. And like, no one ever seems to go like, what about the kids? And what about your penis? The kids are different. Well, yeah, that's, well, you don't,

Starting point is 00:28:53 turns out you don't have to do anything to that. Now, but it's just like there doesn't seem to be concern about this. And that's, by the way, that's how society continues is through children. And just to your point, Adam, I mean, look, I would say, I don't think it's just like a thing for women. I mean, I, like, I love my career.

Starting point is 00:29:10 I really love it. I have my dream job. I love doing stand-up comedy. I love doing cool shows like this. I love it. I make a very good living, you know, not compared to some people, but compared to the general population. I do very well. and I have a career

Starting point is 00:29:26 that I'm passionate about that I love. That's pretty rare. That's a small percentage of society who has that. And still, if you were to ask me, what's the most meaningful or important thing in my life, it's not like career is number two. It's such a distant number two. The older you get, the more you realize,

Starting point is 00:29:43 all that really matters is family. That's all that matters. And I think it's very easy, particularly for women, just because they do have more of a biological clock. Just, that's the reality. Then, it's very easy when you're 25 to be like, I don't really care about any of that. I'm having fun, I'm doing my thing.

Starting point is 00:29:59 And then it's very easy to do that up until you're 35. And by the time you're 35, you're up against it. You are immediately, you're in a high-risk pregnancy, if you get pregnant at 35. Jerry, that's your pregnancy. What does his pregnancy is worth? Yes, your increased the risk of something going wrong. On top of that, if you're 35 and single

Starting point is 00:30:16 and you want to have kids, you better find the guy like immediately. Ladies, I'm saying that a lot. You're out there. Where were we at? And there's, I think there's kind of this, I remember being young, like being really young and feeling like 40 was really old.

Starting point is 00:30:33 You remember that feeling of like what 40 felt like when you were 20? 28. And you were like, I've been 40 for three years now, Dave. So, well, you're really experiencing it. But like, you remember that, and then, and it almost feels like, that's like the end. Like, 40's the end, you know?

Starting point is 00:30:47 But it's not. It's the halfway point. And so, it might feel great at 25 to be like, oh, I don't need a family, I don't need kids. Okay, but how are you gonna feel at 55, 60, 65, 70, 75 when other people have their kids and their families around them? And you have like nothing.

Starting point is 00:31:04 And, you know, the tragic thing about it is that there's no going back at that point. Like you've got to got to figure this out now and so it's awful that we don't like how do we how do we not as a culture like promote to young people that the best thing you can do is get married and have a family. I'll say 100% and then I'm gonna give you the best thing for me. It was getting married in my wife, you know, best thing ever happened in my life is where my wife. I got married at 21-22 years old coming out the military. Had my son at 22 years old. Got divorced at 22 years old. Felt bankruptcy at 22 years old. PTSD at 22 years old. Big remember, moving our boxes, I showed you my PTSD certificate. You went to the shredder, the shredder. I wish I kept it. But I'm going through all this stuff.

Starting point is 00:31:46 And some of the worst dark moments in a man's life is knowing that your children just got ripped away from your house, that you have to be told by the courts when to see your kids. That the courts say you pick your kids up at the Walmart, or here at the park a lot, and you meet here, and like, you have supervised visitation.

Starting point is 00:32:00 All this bullshit. And when you see your child support money going, and it's not going to the child, so men will look at it that way. And that's the way I looked at it. So for me, I did a deep dive into my faith. When I looked at Wall Street Journal, this is when I started going to Calvary Church,

Starting point is 00:32:17 and it was at Orange County Calvary Church. Was that Malvere? South Coast Plans, right there at Calvary Church. Yeah, Raw Reese and Griglori. He was out there at Bible Studies on Mondays, and they're talking about the design of marriage. I've never heard of this stuff before. And so I wasn't around the example of husband and wife

Starting point is 00:32:36 together raising, being raised by a kid. No, granted, my father was around. He was there. But typical Filipino dad never said anything until he did something wrong, right? And then I learned how to just not talk to my father because I didn't want to be told I was doing it wrong.

Starting point is 00:32:51 But if you're looking at my 14 years after I got divorced, I'm just going to do my thing. I focused on my business 14 years. She's going to come. She's going to come. Now, as a man, I felt I could wait. Build my business I could wait, evolve, because I felt more, as a man, I felt I could wait. Building my business I could wait, evolved because I felt more confident as a husband if I was a provider and a protector.

Starting point is 00:33:10 If I wasn't providing, if I wasn't protecting, I wouldn't feel good as a man. And then, maybe remember, we decided to get married. So let's just go into our pastor's office and just do a swearing in there, our mother's found out. Like, oh, no, you're not gonna do that. And they see how a family comes in. We spent how much was our budget for our wedding?

Starting point is 00:33:27 Thousand bucks. How much was your wedding dress? 100 bucks for a wedding dress. Our wedding, the money. Save that money, our wedding downstairs. Everything was, everybody's pumped up excited. I mean, it was, to me, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was an awesome wedding.

Starting point is 00:33:43 That is so cool. Would you mind talking to my wife? Just maybe you guys hang out. Get a little bit together. The best thing she said, babe, you know what? I don't care about spending money on her wedding. I'd rather invest in her marriage. That's a wife right there, y'all.

Starting point is 00:34:00 That's a wife. Why do you have any younger sisters? You got any like, but, hey hey Pat, she has a brother. I think she has a brother. I'll take what I can get. Ha ha ha. Um, never brother. Throw away on that thing and trans these days I'm okay.

Starting point is 00:34:15 I'm getting a prenup though, Shina. Well you said something very interesting Dave, that you said the best environment to raise children is with a dual parent household, right? P.B.D., you did a whole entire episode about this that the second best is actually with a single father, that the stats are actually quite comparable to a dual parent household,

Starting point is 00:34:41 to the that of just a man raising a child and then it just plummets if it's a single mom. What was that? Yeah that's what it was like the power of having a father figure in your life it's a difference like if I'm already there's no there's no opportunity when you're just raised with your mom it's funny me and my wife are just having this conversation yesterday we're just talking about it Pat there's no accountability because there's nobody keeping you in check. The mother just wants a nurture all you're okay.

Starting point is 00:35:06 What happened to you? You got to scrape me help you. The dad's like, nah, you got to quit that bullshit real fast. You got to get to the best of her. I can't see it. Angie, your mom having an easy time raising you and all like, you guys look like you guys are too sweet little boys. You listen. You didn't break the rules. I'm a jail again. I can get you. Come, come, come, come. You come get me. That's exactly what happened.

Starting point is 00:35:23 No, no, no, no, no, this time. Yeah get me. That's exactly what happened. No, I hate it. No, I hate it. No, I hate it. No, I hate it. No, I hate it. Yeah, no, no. You have no accountability. You have nobody to answer to.

Starting point is 00:35:32 And the natural order, I think a lot of people don't realize that the natural order of life is, you know, as God, we answered the man. A man doesn't, that doesn't answer, is not accountable to God, has nothing to live for because he has nothing to base his life on. So the natural order is God, the head of the household and the wife and then the kids. And when you disrupt that natural order of life, you're done. There's no way you're going to have a healthy life if you continue to live that way. So to me, it's like, yeah, of course, it makes sense.

Starting point is 00:35:55 The single fathers are raising better kids and single mothers. Now, because mom's suck at it, because a dad needs to be there to have an accountability over that child. The fact that I got in trouble so much was because my dad was not there. My dad's on a deadbeat was around, but I just felt like I get away with more because dad was not there to tell me you can or you can't do this or what my ass like he did when I was around them all the time.

Starting point is 00:36:15 He kept me in check, so yeah, it makes total sense. I would also just add to this, because I agree with everything you guys have been saying. And I think it's very true that one of the things that disincentivizes men from wanting to get married is kind of these artificial legal liabilities. Of course, that's all that. That you tell with this, Matt.

Starting point is 00:36:32 Exactly. So there's no question about that. And I hate to say to the kids. But there's also other aspects to it as well. And I would, because I'm obsessed with politics, so this is what I focus on. But there's also aspects where direct government policies have disincentivized families, and not just the fact that for years,

Starting point is 00:36:49 like say the rise of the welfare state, for years, they were straight up cutting you a check. Straight up. If you had kids without a dad in the household. Oh, be straight, right side. And this is just like, you know, yeah, and this is just basic economics 101, that if you incentivize a behavior, you will get more of it than you otherwise would have. That's just the way things work. On top of that the policies of sucking kids into this college trap and artificially bidding up

Starting point is 00:37:15 the prices of college, which is all loans backed by the government, guaranteed by the government. If some 18-year-old kid here who has no, some, some 18-year-old who has no income and no assets and no work history, walked in and said, I want a loan for $200,000 to start a business. You will get laughed out of the bank. It would be like, there is no chance that you could find a bank to give you that loan. But if you go in there and say, I want it for college, boom, rubber stamps, here you go. No problem sending you into debt.

Starting point is 00:37:43 It's the most vicious type of debt. It's's worse than credit card that they can garner your wages over at and then you're in the then at the same time we've had policies uh... such as artificially low interest rates the the federal reserve buying mortgage back securities on a regular basis that have bit up the price of housing so you know you have these guys you know that's like these twenty five year olds

Starting point is 00:38:03 who come out of college they kind of did with all the adults around them were telling them is the right thing to do They're a hundred fifty grand in debt the average price of a home is like $800,000 and the kid works at Starbucks and he's like well how the hell am I ever gonna get married and like Provide for a wife and a family and and to be fair This is part of the reason why so many of those kids start demanding Socialism and I kind of as much as that's not the direction we want to go and you kind of understand where the corruption in this system Is failed so much that they're like well, this is impossible like how could I ever get out of that? And they've also probably been on you know crazy psychiatric drugs

Starting point is 00:38:39 I also think there's one other issue especially among younger people and that that's hook up culture. And I quite frankly have been a good benefactor of some of this hook up culture. But women now, which are only same- Which are only same- Which are only same- Women now view themselves as, yeah,

Starting point is 00:38:58 the guys can do it, I can do it. And I think we can all agree, there's a big difference between a guy sleeping with a bunch of women versus a woman sleeping with a bunch of men and That's that that is pervasive among amongst women and it's it's sort of Rooting women's asset right in the marketplace and it's that value. That's right. I said value. With that A, double S, E, T, all right. But it's, men and women are not equal in that regard.

Starting point is 00:39:30 You call me on that one. It makes sense why he's single by the best. Totally makes sense. But I'm a man with options. Is there any signs you get of the desire to one day get married? Yes or no? Any signs, like give me this much of a sign.

Starting point is 00:39:44 Yes or no? Adam, no signs here me this much of a sign. Yes or no. Adam, no signs here. It's just a... No signs. I've been... I've been the benefactor of part of a hook-up culture myself. Mr. Tinder, swipe, right, elite, yelp, or... No dating apps. So let me get to the next one. That's another thing. By the way, let me go to the next one after you keep hookin' up with these stories. Okay, all right, so next one here. All right. Americans are movin' in Japan, okay? Don so next one here. All right, Americans are moving to Japan. Okay. Don't move it.

Starting point is 00:40:07 It's safety and affordability inside our story. By the way, can you guys imagine Ricky living in Japan? Yeah. I will. What's your name? You know, the number of Americans relocating the Japan has seen a steady rise with 6642 individuals making a move in 2022.

Starting point is 00:40:23 The population of American expats in Japan has reached 60,000 eight or four a significant increase of 57,000 in 2020 according to the country's ministry justice. Wow. Safety is a primary motivator for Americans choosing Japan as their new home. As Veronica Hanson who moved to Japan with her family explains, my children have to do active shooter drills. I just exploded and said, we don't have to stay here.

Starting point is 00:40:46 Let's go. The country's reputation for safety and minimal presence of gun violence provides a sense of security. Affordability is another key factor driving the migration. Alex Evans, who moved to rural Mukai, Shima Island, emphasizes the cost advantages, saying, for a three-bedroom house, I pay $65,000 yen, which is the same as $463 a month.

Starting point is 00:41:12 If I were in Hiroshima, my rent would be more expensive. So, any consideration I've wanted to move to Japan, Rikiyoko, to your first. You know what I want to go with? I want to see Pat? How many of those are Japanese Americans Versus just Americans so keep in mind. This is an insider story right insider story is is is typically leaning left So the story they're trying to say I don't know if you cut or three comments. They may I totally cut gun

Starting point is 00:41:39 You know the training and you know I have to be careful with this and be careful with that. So all this stuff about America, this is why I want to go over there. Yeah, I think it's, look, here's what we have behind things. I love Mexico. When we go, you know, me and Erica, we have property in Mexico, we have family in Mexico. I love Mexico.

Starting point is 00:41:55 Mexico is, when it comes out to gun violence, is a lot more dangerous than America is, right? Because a lot of people don't know that you can't, it's not legal to carry guns in Mexico. But yet, all the criminals in Mexico have the guns. And they out, sometimes many times in gun fights, they outdo the military in Mexico. And so, but I would still not want to move to Mexico,

Starting point is 00:42:15 though it's supposedly, you know, that's home or whatever, it's the motherland, but I wouldn't want to go back. How come? Safety? No, it's not. Well, it's not just because this is, like, okay, good. You could, you could, you could live in Japan for $400 a month.

Starting point is 00:42:30 Where's your life going to go? Well, legacy you're going to leave behind. Like, how many people are building businesses over there? You could say, wow, look what they left for their kids. Like, I'm looking at Pat right now. We went to his house to go have dinner earlier. By the way, incredible dinner pat. I don't even know what Saturday at the beginning,

Starting point is 00:42:42 it was just like a bunch of green stuff and my fuck. I'm just going to eat it, you know. And then. And then I saw meatballs. I'm like, I'm going for that immediately, but it was, you know, so anyway, so I'm like, you know, Pat has a couple, you know, guys security guards here. He lives in a good neighborhood. You have to say you're like, his, his, his, his, his, his, there's people in his, his, his gate before you go in there armed. There's people going around 24 hours. Like bro, I don't just build a business and go live in a safer neighborhood. like bro why don't you just build a business and go live in a safe for neighborhood.

Starting point is 00:43:06 Like I don't have to worry about that happening in my neighborhood, I live in a gay to neighborhood 24 hours security, I don't ever think about or my nephew's gonna get killed by gun violence. It's just, you might, the only place I would have to worry about that is where I grew up and he's spakers filled, where that makes sense. But why don't you go, instead of running away

Starting point is 00:43:22 from building something big, why don't you stay where you're at, build something big and get out of the neighborhoods and potentially can have those teams happen? Because like this whole shooting all those guns every that's a bunch of bullshit It's not true. Yeah, we have a lot of guns everywhere But they also don't tell you how many times guns have prevented mass murders and how they protected families You go to Japan. Yeah cool, bro. You may then nobody has guns But the government can turn on you whenever you want like it's so so crazy to think that giving the government that much power over you, and some people literally want to do that,

Starting point is 00:43:48 it's true shading to my brain to think that, that you will only want the government to have power over who controls the guns. Every time that's worked out, every time that's happened, it's never worked out good for the population. So no, I wouldn't move. I don't care.

Starting point is 00:44:01 I don't care if gun violence went up by 100% in America, I still wouldn't move, because I can still move to a safer neighborhood. And I can have security like you do. I don't care. I don't care if gun violence went up by 100% of America I still want to move because I can still move to a safer neighborhood and I can have security like you do and that's it That's in all that does it have to really resort to yeah, yeah, bro. We're humans. That's what it has to be resort to people I've been killing each other if you guys forget the first murder and human history was Adam and I mean, I'm sorry It can't enable it was one brother killing the other you're never gonna run away from this shit that come on get real bro Like people are gonna kill each other no matter where you go And a boy was one brother killing the other. You're never gonna run away from this shit. Like come on, get real, bro. Like people are gonna kill each other

Starting point is 00:44:26 no matter where you go. So I thought Adam killed Eve. I was like, I gotta re-read. I'm sure he thought about it. I gotta re-read that stuff. I'm sure he thought about this. I came and saved. They, they, they, they, they, they,

Starting point is 00:44:35 they don't give this guy any idea. Yeah, I know. I don't have that on my right. But Dave, think about this. The first, like, the first murder, murder of human history were God's grandchildren, literally. They were, like, it's like Adam and Eve, history where God's grandchildren literally. It's like Adam and Eve, thank God. That was grandpa.

Starting point is 00:44:49 His grandkids killed each other. And you think that you're gonna run away from this when this part part of our DNA, no matter where you go in the world. Sometimes you guys forget the Japan went to China and through the babies up in the sky and what catching with their nits with the knives and their guns.

Starting point is 00:45:03 Like you don't know your history if you think Japan is so peaceful. I have a, I also have a very bad history when it comes on to that. They wanted to try to throw them up in the air and we're catching with the knife of the baronets. Read your history books, see if you still wanna move to Japan. Yeah, my father was born during World War II

Starting point is 00:45:16 and he was two years old and was taught during World War II by my aunt, his older sister, how to play dead in the streets in Manila because the Japanese go through the city city and band-aid everything. Band-aid, everything in my life? Yeah, the Japanese, the Japanese there was absolutely vicious, one of the most ruthless military of the world for sure. They have been a lot cooler since then, but they were pretty bad. They were pretty bad for a while just for the right.

Starting point is 00:45:40 So there might time in Marine Corps I got stationed there for a year so I lived in Japan for a year in Okinawa. And I could tell you this about Japanese people. Very disciplined. Yeah. They're very kind people. They love their family. I mean, if you talk about safety and security

Starting point is 00:45:58 and education by the way, you see the way Japanese teach the kids how much further advance the art in terms of intellect and understand the subject matters. They're way out there. So, you know, if you're looking at a safe country to go to, you know, your money can go. I mean, people leave all the time to come America. Yep. We're a face-can-time right now. People are leaving America. I can't tell you how many times in our office, we do BOMs and weekly basis twice within our offices.

Starting point is 00:46:22 I can tell you how many times people are saying, you know what? Let me go to Panama. Let me go to Belize time, people are saying, you know what, let me go to Panama. Let me go to Belize. Let me go to Japan, Singapore. Let me leave America because the product of America isn't as shiny and strong and as attractive as it once used to be. And it hurts me because I'm a patriot. I've served this country and I love our home.

Starting point is 00:46:41 But people aren't thinking about, I got a guy named Diamond right now because he's not once in the leave Thailand. He's in Paddy, a beach Thailand. He loves Thailand. And when you're looking at these stats, I mean, looking at other countries making the sales attractive to Americans, yeah.

Starting point is 00:46:55 If we, what do you say Patrick, if you don't take care of your people, somebody else will. Somebody else will. I'll say one thing, I love America. Like, I mean, I love this country, born and raised in this country. My great grandparents fled. The Bolshevik revolution, grandparents fled.

Starting point is 00:47:14 Nazi Germany, like I love America. I'm so thankful that I'm born in America. What did Jamie Dheimen say about America recently? Like, we were dealt in amazing hand. We have peaceful neighbors on the North Canada, Mexico, besides Ricky, and then we have the Atlantic Ocean, and we have the Pacific Ocean, we have capitalism, we have free markets, it's an amazing situation

Starting point is 00:47:37 that we have here. And rather than cut and run and move to a different country, that's what I think is so amazing, but what we do here, having these conversations, how can we improve our country? We are still the greatest country on earth, okay, by far. And it's incumbent on all of us to have these types of conversations, what can we do to improve? Because the politicians are quite, on both sides are fucking it up.

Starting point is 00:48:01 Their approval ratings are in the dustbin. And it's, I think that's what's so powerful for what we do here. So let's figure this thing out. Yeah, I'm part of the stories like this when you read it. You have no idea how many of these guys move there because of COVID, because of school and because of education, because of families, because of military, because of a job opportunity, because of one of the, when you were in the army, people wanted to go to Japan to be English teachers.

Starting point is 00:48:28 And schoolteacher was an easy job to have, and you were right next to Okanoah, was a good base, it was a great place to find a wife, it's less sort of a hook-up culture, so maybe not good for you. But Japan, you've said something that I just want to bring up. Yeah. You don't get upset, I'm sure there's some

Starting point is 00:48:44 hooking up going on, I know you don't want to get upset about it, but. Zir... Take skin. You given the restaurant analogy about America. Yes. And that still rings true. And you've also brought up the number one concern for a mother parents, but mother specifically,

Starting point is 00:48:58 is their children's safe for sure. Like if your kids are not safe, you're gonna move. You're gonna talk about it all the time. You're talking about what countries, the restaurant analogy I think is still Like if your kids are not safe, you're gonna move. Should it talk about all the time? Should it talk about all the time? You're talking about what countries, the restaurant analogy I think is still very, very good analogy that you use about America.

Starting point is 00:49:11 I don't know if you wanna explain that. America's got a waiting room of people wanted to come here, leading the world with 41 million immigrants that are here. There's no such thing as the Russian dream or the, you know, Japanese dream or the Chinese dream, there's only the American dream. And that's gonna be there, but the part about that is we have to do our part to keep it that way.

Starting point is 00:49:32 You know, Yankees, they haven't wanna, you know, what do you call it, World of Truth, or Easton's One, 2009. Why don't you just go to New Owner? Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, You think about it, you think it's time to end over here. You think about it in any place you're in for you to be arrogant, to think it's going to be like this forever, you're a fool. So sometimes when you and I were having this conversation together about, you know, I think there's three communities that are ruining America today. And we've been talking about the Salad,

Starting point is 00:50:06 and I keep saying it over and over and over again. The three communities are the tolerant Christians that they're sitting around saying, well, it's okay, let them do it, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, no, it's not okay, that's not how it's supposed to be. It's the lazy and scared Republicans or conservatives that they're not putting their money where their mouth is you're complaining about what's going on and look at the

Starting point is 00:50:29 mainstream media look how much control they got uh... look at what these guys are doing at washington post and i time at the scene and i just as that you got plenty of money want you go by my these guys are buying them you're not buying everything then just be quiet or compete get into the dammar, build a media company, or buy a media company, or buy a newspaper,

Starting point is 00:50:48 buy something about it. If you're not, sit the, you know what, down. And don't say anything, especially with all that money in your bank account. Because the other, if there's one thing I got from Anthony Wiener today, is to follow it. Forget about where he's at. Everything about him was, well, that's a good strategy.

Starting point is 00:51:06 Well, that's a good strategy. Well, that's what worked. And this is what worked. He was only thinking about strategy. It wasn't like, you know, well, that's exactly what we're gonna do to win over here, and then we have to go get this person and that person. If we get this person, it was so much about strategy

Starting point is 00:51:20 where the right is like, look, man, we belong to this country club. We're good with this, but we don't need to do all the other stuff. And then the last one is with my friend here, the libertarian everybody wants to see run for office, Dave Smith, is to do your thing libertarians. They're also part of the problem, because there's too much of sitting there saying,

Starting point is 00:51:37 it's, listen, as long as you leave me alone and you let me do what I'm doing, I'm good. The problem is, they're not leaving you alone. They're going around you to go to your kids. I asked a question today from Anthony Wiener. It was one of the most uncomfortable questions to him. I don't know. Did anybody watch the entire podcast or no?

Starting point is 00:51:52 Who watched the whole thing? Did anybody watch the beginning today? And I already, I know you did. Do you want to repeat what I asked them? Because this is my family here. But I think if you say it's okay, with a straight look on my face, I look at Anthony Wiener, and can you pull up that article first before I ask this question? You know what you're when I'm talking about that?

Starting point is 00:52:10 I come in.com, go to the word queer and pull it up, and ask him this question. He got so uncomfortable. George, you ready for this question? It's a very uncomfortable question. Yeah, it's very uncomfortable. Because if I ask you this question, you would be like, what the hell is a matter with them? So, Adam, what question did I ask him?

Starting point is 00:52:24 I believe you asked him when you were 10 or 12 years old, were people teaching you how to... No, no, no, no, no, so I asked him. I asked him right there, so I said... I can say it if you want, I don't care. You know what I'll say. You're talking, we're having dinner. You said, you said, are you any good at doing blow jobs?

Starting point is 00:52:39 And he looked at you, I guess, kind of offended and confused. Yeah, are you any good at doing blow jobs? He's like, what? He says, so if you don't, if you made you uncomfortable, so why would you be asking 10-year-old kids to teach you 10-year-old kids through these books, how to do blow jobs?

Starting point is 00:52:52 That was a question I asked him. Thank. I said, I said, do you and I need to learn how to give blow jobs? He looks at me like there's something wrong with. I said, notice how uncomfortable you got. Imagine how uncomfortable it is for mothers to say, keep those books out of my kids' faces.

Starting point is 00:53:07 Go to this book here right now, queer that this keep going down. This is what kids are reading right now, in many parts of the country. Keep going up, keep going up, keep going up, keep going up, keep going up, keep going up, right there, boom, go up a little bit. Hey, hello, hello, here's how you do it.

Starting point is 00:53:21 Go a little bit up, go a little bit up, go a little bit up, boys with boys, boys with boys right there, fantastic boys. Here's how you do it. Go a little bit up, go a little bit up, go a little bit up. Boys with boys, boys with boys right there. Fantastic. Boys. Here's how you do it. This is what happens. Yeah, so this is, by the way, to be fair, even when I asked them, I said, would you want your kids? He says, no, I would have on my 11 year old. He's not even in it. And his immediate reaction is going to be what? No, that doesn't make any sense for this to happen. So again, but this, when we went to school, this is weird. Some of you guys right now are uncomfortable. The fact

Starting point is 00:53:49 that I'm even bringing up these words, right? But because of tolerant Christians, because of lazy and scared Republicans concerned, and because of do your thing libertarians, we're here. So if we think America's gonna be the greatest country forever, you are naive, you're a fool. But if we realize like for it to stay the greatest, like for example, a watch is documentary, the only documentary I've seen Dylan cry, only one. He's watched a lot of documentaries.

Starting point is 00:54:17 The only one that got him emotional, where babe, you'll remember this, we were in what were we at when he watches? Was it Bermuda? I think we were in Bermuda. So every day were in what we had when he watches was a brimuda i think we were in brimuda so every day he needs to whatever hour he watches of a documentary he gets to play 30 minutes of ipad while it's vacation time throughout the weekday weekends they get to hours of ipad weekday they have to watch per hour documentary you get 30 minutes of watching a plane ipad

Starting point is 00:54:38 so anyways we're in brimuda i said i want you to watch this documentary this is a day before the announcement of yankees has happened and so I'm getting them to watch all the documentaries on the Yankees. So I need them to understand what's happening with the Yankees. And he watches this documentary of Yogi Barra. Okay. He watches this thing. What was it called, babe? What was the name of it?

Starting point is 00:54:57 Can you pull it up Yogi Barra documentary? He comes, it ain't over. Oh, guys, you have to watch this. He comes up to me. His eyes are filled with tears. He comes, it ain't over. Oh, guys, you have to watch this. He comes up to me. His eyes are filled with tears. He says, daddy, this was the best documentary ever. I said, Dilly, I said, why?

Starting point is 00:55:13 It's the best documentary ever. So now I haven't seen the documentary. So I come back and I watch the documentary. I'm upstairs, Jensen, the room. I'm like trying to hide away from Jen because I'm getting choked up. Like multiple times. Like, what the hell is wrong with this documentary? It's so emotional with the family, relationshipensen, the room. I'm like trying to hide away from Jen because I'm getting choked up, like multiple times. I'm like, what the hell is wrong with this documentary?

Starting point is 00:55:26 It's so emotional with the family relationship, all this stuff. But you know what the whole thing was about? There is pride about Yogi won as a champion. Then he won as a coach. And he was so proud of representing the Jersey that when Stein burner fired him, he says, I will never come back in the stadium ever again.

Starting point is 00:55:47 And the first time him and Don Larsen, I believe that through a perfect game, I think I'm saying the name right, Don Larsen through a perfect game, the retro perfect game, he through a perfect game and Yogi caught the perfect game, that they he and Don Larsen come to the game for the very first time. Do you know who threw a perfect game that night? David Cohen. So the first time, I think is David Cohen, the first time he doesn't come to the game for the very first time. Do you know who threw a perfect game that night? David Cohen. So the first time, I think is David Cohen, the first time he doesn't come to the stadium for 20 plus years.

Starting point is 00:56:10 Him and the guy who were the last guys to throw a perfect game coming, that night there's a perfect game. He's like after the six, can you imagine how emotional that is? You're like, what are the chances of this, right? It's like what you wouldn't be able to put it in a movie. Dude, you wouldn't be able to put this in a movie

Starting point is 00:56:24 when I'm watching this. Like the odds of it. Insane odds, right. Fortes to have. There might be one perfect game for the whole season. I remember Kenny Rogers through a perfect game with the Texas Rangers. I was a diehard ranger spent. But the point is, you're watching this. You're like, dude, you got to be proud.

Starting point is 00:56:40 If you played for the Yankees, you coach for the Yankees, you got to be proud of the Yankees, right? If you were having any of the benefits of this great country called America, and this thing in one way or another change your life, you are a coward if you don't do the fighting now. This is why I say those three communities have to understand if you don't do your part,

Starting point is 00:57:02 guess what, very soon, Speppel, I would never move to Japan. What makes you think you want to move to Japan? My family moved here from Iran. I would never move to Japan. We are naive to think we will never one day move to Japan. If America is no longer what America once was, guys, all of us may be moving somewhere.

Starting point is 00:57:19 So this is the whole reason why we, you know, did what we did when we saved America by bringing back the free enterprise to hope to American families, because this is a fight worth fighting and it's going to require everybody. And those who sit in the sidelines, all of a sudden are going to hurt this thing, this great idea that they came up with in 1776 that changed our lives, that's not only argument. We have to do our part.

Starting point is 00:57:39 If we don't, this could one that be a shit show. Yeah. Well, I'm sorry, go ahead. Yeah, people, what's some tangible things that people are watching? So, well, Patrick, I don't have a podcast. And I remember in Bahamas, there's a guy that approached you to Bahamas, and you called him out because he wants to be on this podcast,

Starting point is 00:57:55 to pitch his message and to piss it, probably, and he said, once you start your own podcast, and he said, why don't I lose clients? I don't wanna lose business. He was there with a hundred of his people. And he said, you're part of the problem. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:58:04 And so, but what can people really tangibly do to stand their ground and build America up to that promise where we can fight back? They've said something very interesting. They've says one day he's watching the DNC and the RNC, I think he's watching the RNC and Ron Paul speaks. And Ron Paul speaks about the Fed. He would have had a book at the time and the Fed or something like that, right?

Starting point is 00:58:28 He says, I watch this guy out of everybody I related to him. He says, I came back, I watched his material, I read his book, then I read all his books, then I read all the books that he recommends to read, then I watch Milton Friedman, then I watch I and Rand, and the next thing, I can't get the stuff out of my head. So the lowest thing somebody can do to start off with, when I first met Ricky, Ricky and I sat down.

Starting point is 00:58:51 I said, Ricky, do me a favor tonight, before you go to sleep, watch this Milton Friedman, 45 minute interview was with Phil Donogh, I believe, right? Do you know from that moment on, Ricky goes away on his own. We don't have a follow-up conversation. The next time I saw Ricky on stage,

Starting point is 00:59:09 he delivers a 20-minute message, 15-minute message, and I'm like, what the hell happened to this guy? He says, Pat, now one video I got obsessed and I just watched everything. And then I realized all the mistakes my parents made, Jorge Ramos, people in my community, and now Ricky is baptized in other people and he's getting other people to think it.

Starting point is 00:59:28 So step number one is, for you to actually want to go through the journey, what would you say? Well, yeah, look, I think that it's, don't ever underestimate how powerful telling the truth is. It's an unbelievable, powerful thing to like stand up and tell the truth, and it's an unbelievably damaging thing to bite your tongue

Starting point is 00:59:47 when you know what the truth is. And I think that's the point you are getting at. I listen to that podcast the other day where you're talking about like kind of particularly for people who are like wealthy and are in a position, look you can't count on the guy who's like making 60 grand a year to risk his livelihood. You know what I mean? But if you're a guy with like millions in the bank then like there's a little bit more of an onus on you

Starting point is 01:00:07 to like you can step up, you can take the arrows. You know what I mean? You're already protected to some degree. So why did you respond to his podcast? You react to him on July 4th during the night to switch to the podcast, or you recorded that podcast? Reactions to his point?

Starting point is 01:00:21 Well, the point, well, the thing that we are talking about the point of these three groups who have kind of allowed this problem to happen. You and I talked about it. I think you were reacting to McGregor. Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes. That was Colonel Douglas McGregor. That was a great podcast as well.

Starting point is 01:00:37 But just to respond to that, because I am a libertarian and want to kind of the more prominent libertarian people out there, that I did a segment on my podcast about this that I think you're absolutely right. And I think that, like, essentially, I'm a libertarian. And to me, what that means is that I believe people have natural rights. Like I believe people have natural rights and that it's immoral to violate their rights and among these rights, the right to life, liberty, property, like, you know, essentially, what it is is the idea of the non-aggression principle.

Starting point is 01:01:07 That violence is legitimate in self-defense, but it's not legitimate to initiate violence against peaceful people. And I also happen to recognize that free market capitalism leads to the most prosperous societies. We have lots of good empirical evidence on this, look at East Germany, versus West Germany, North Korea, versus South Korea. These are places that share

Starting point is 01:01:27 the exact same culture, the same genetics, the same everything, the only thing that was different were their economic systems, and one produces starvation, and the other produces enormous wealth. It's okay. So because you're, now what a lot of libertarians kind of got in the tendency of doing was because you have the right to do what you want to doing was because you have the right to do what you want to do and you have the right to do what you want to do, therefore I shouldn't care about what you're doing. I shouldn't care what you're doing with your freedom. But that's not actually, that doesn't actually logically follow.

Starting point is 01:01:56 Like it's also well within my rights to object to what you're doing, to be intolerant of what you're doing. And there has to be a certain point. Like tolerance is good to a certain degree. You know, if there's somebody in this room who's a Christian and there's somebody in this room who's a Muslim and there's someone who's an atheist, it's good that we all respect,

Starting point is 01:02:12 hey, you have a right to that view. I respect that. You don't force your view on me. I don't force your view on you. But you get to a certain point where we're literally talking about introducing blow job instructions to children. And you're like, no, like there can be no tolerance of this.

Starting point is 01:02:28 And the fact that it's gotten to this point demonstrates we have been way too tolerant. Like the idea that we were not up in arms well before this was even introduced into schools. Like first off, I would argue that that's an active aggression. Like that's a huge issue. Children, this is an active aggression. Like that's a huge children. This is an active aggression. I'm taking over. Yes. But just aside from that, you

Starting point is 01:02:49 realize that it's like there. So where exactly is the point when we need to not be tolerant anymore? I don't know. But let me just adventure to say it's several steps before teaching blow jobs to children. You know what I mean? Like several steps before that is where we need to be. I have a question for you, Dave. OK, I have a question for you, don't. Sure. Let me give you the flip side of it.

Starting point is 01:03:08 OK? A child giving you a blowjob. I'm sorry, is that inappropriate? I'm a dirty comedian from New York. That is the reverse. No. Let me give you the flip side of it. How about all these people?

Starting point is 01:03:22 There's only one party pushing this bullshit. And that's a fact. That's a fact. Well,'s only one party pushing this bullshit, okay? And that's a fact. That's a fact. Well, there's one party pushing it and there's one party being completely complicit. Hold on, I agree with you. But here's my point. My point is this, there's only one party pushing it.

Starting point is 01:03:40 Not the other party's not finding it, but one party's pushing it, okay? What about the people that keep voting for that party that keeps doing that bullshit? What responsibility do they have you car yourself a Christian you car yourself? You're you know you say that you're believing God that you're a pet of plus person of faith But your party not only on slaves not only supported Jim Crow not only Supported the KKK not only voted for lbj that said I'm gonna have these ends voting Democrat for 200 years Not only thought the civil rights not only did all LBJ that said I'm gonna have these ends voting Democrat for 200 years,

Starting point is 01:04:05 not only fought the civil rights, not only did all of that, okay? It's the same party that's pushing this bullshit. How much responsibility should people take for voting for the same party that keeps pushing this bullshit? They have 200 years of bullshit. Like, so at what point, okay, I get you, I have to fight these people off.

Starting point is 01:04:23 I'm good fighting people that normally want to do it, that normally want to teach this kids this bullshit. I have a problem with also fighting people that are so goddamn stuck in their fucking ways, excuse my language, that you are still voting for these people. I don't mind fighting my real enemies. I hate fighting blind enemies. The ones that I can't see. Then you call yourself a Christian, ahead of a household. Then you call yourself a leader. But you too, you cannot even fathom the idea

Starting point is 01:04:52 that what you're auntie and your granny and your mommy taught you is complete fucking bullshit. At what point do I have to fight them too? Why can't they wake up? Why can't they do their homework? Why can't they see what they've been doing? Why do I have to take them too? Why can't they wake up? Why can't they do their homework? Why can't they see what they've been doing? Why do I have to take responsibility for them as well? That's the problem that I have.

Starting point is 01:05:11 So I'm good again. Show me, you know what I ask God for one thing, David? David, not David, David. I ask God for one thing. Protect me for my friends. I can handle my enemies. Yeah. No, listen, I get your point.

Starting point is 01:05:24 And look, so I can't take responsibility for that. No, listen, I get your point. So I can't take responsibility for that, bro. Well, I fight. I guess, by the way, I live in California. I don't meet you. I'm staying in California. And you want to get asked why? Because I'm going to keep fighting that bullshit.

Starting point is 01:05:36 I'm going to, I'll pay the 50% tax so I can find my fucking running. I'm staying right there, bro. I'm going to take this shit to the ground. I'm going to die with this. I'm going to take this all the way to the ground So but what I got to fight people to come to those Christians or Catholics or whatever religion and keep voting for the same party doing this bullshit It's obvious who's doing it at this point like why are you still my enemy too? Like bro, there's a people you're voting for you know, it's funny

Starting point is 01:05:58 I will tell you this and I'm with this David on it and I'll finish with this I told me what I tell you about a Our our our FK he's the only what that I'll ever do this. I told you, Bay, what I tell you about RFK, he's the only one that I'll ever do what. Remember I told you? I said, RFK is the only Democrat I can see myself ever voting for. I'm even voting to switch for RFK. I am not stuck so much in the conservative Republican party

Starting point is 01:06:18 because I see this man on my due, this guy is solid. You know how many Democrats can't do that the other way even though they're so willing to go down the rabbit with this bullshit Well, there's a reason for that. I think they you ought to break it down from this standpoint So I have Fernando Lasso around my place. He's from Ecuador The singer There's a famous singer. Yes, Fernando Lasso. So he's at the house He was my groom's and not my wedding and

Starting point is 01:06:43 One of the greatest pranks I've pulled of my life was on Fernando. Hands down, it's got to be the top 10 greatest prank. That's incredible. If afterwards, after we're done, I'll take you guys a store. It's a great prank. Anyway, so he starts talking about Korea.

Starting point is 01:06:54 Korea is the guy that's going to be coming back to run against the guy that they have right now who's a conservative. Korea was the one that's like a cast or top of a figure. He's coming back. And he's probably going to end up winning the election next two months. He's super worried he has no idea what to do

Starting point is 01:07:07 am I going to leave am I going to do this am I going to do that and he starts I'm well I've always been a Democrat but I'm starting to think I'm a Republican and I don't know what I am and I've yeah no no no no he's kind of going back and forth. I said Lazo you know it's no longer it's no longer about being a Democrat or Republican because what you just said has nothing to do with Democrat and Republican. And you will take it from here, I'll give it to you, is it's more from establishment to anti-establishment.

Starting point is 01:07:35 For example, Anthony Wiener is a Democrat, but is an establishment Democrat with Hillary Clinton because she's full blown establishment. But also the bushes are establishment. Of course, 100% McConnell, 100% So you can go and give a lot of Republicans that are part of the establishment.

Starting point is 01:07:56 The people you have to look at are the anti-establishment candidates. Of course. Now here's a problem with the anti-establishment candidates. The anti-establishment candidates typically get assassinated or they get eliminated. So if you look at anti-establishment, so you got Andrew Jackson, the first ever anti-establishment guy is Andrew Jackson. We can talk about our founding fathers going against what they did.

Starting point is 01:08:19 Abraham Lincoln, but Andrew Jackson, okay, then you got Abraham Lincoln assassinated. Okay, John F. Kennedy Lincoln, assassinated, okay. J.S. Kennedy, anti-establishment. They wanted to shut down CIA, they wanted to shut down the Fed, everything, anti-establishment, Ronald Reagan, somewhat anti-establishment, some could even say that Reagan was 50% establishment,

Starting point is 01:08:38 50% anti-establishment. Then from there at first people, Thought Obama was anti-establishment, but he ended up being, you know, establishment. Bill Clinton, well, Thao Obama was anti-establishment, but he ended up being, you know, establishment. Bill Clinton, what made me disguise anti-establishment? Nope, he was establishment. Trump, anti-establishment, what did he want to do to Trump? So now, to date, a clip with RFK comes out and everybody's trying to bash him, trash him, to these trying to defend

Starting point is 01:08:59 himself, saying, hey, what are you guys doing to all this stuff that I'm doing? So the only reason you're saying, I'm willing to vote for a Democrat. You're not willing to vote for a Democrat. Ricky, you respect those that are anti-establishment. Right. So it's no longer I'm a Democrat or I'm a Republican. I'm an anti-establishment person because I want to make the decision of what's best for my family. I don't need you to make all the decision of what's best for my family.

Starting point is 01:09:21 That's the RFK part. What would you add to that? Yeah. Well, like I think, to the point that I's best for my family. Right. I don't need you to make all the decision of what's best for my family. That's the RFK part. What would you add to that? Yeah, well, like, I think to your point about like people being responsible for who they vote for. I mean, look, I can't argue that. There's, yeah, to some degree, people are responsible for who they vote for. And if you vote for somebody who's really awful, particularly if they've already been enacting these horrible policies, and then you continue to support that person or that party, there's definitely some responsibility

Starting point is 01:09:48 that falls on you for that. I do tend to focus more of my outrage toward the powerful people who are intentionally inflicting this on Americans and have a little bit more sympathy for, look, the fact is that there's just been like, it's not as if democratic voters just say woke up one morning and decided to think it was a good idea to force the vaccine on everybody in the country. There was a massive propaganda campaign where they were really fooled. I mean, like they genuinely believed they were listening to the expert science class.

Starting point is 01:10:24 And look, man in a suit on CNN told me that this doctor is giving me all of the right information. Now do they have some level of responsibility for that? Sure, absolutely. But I also think that there is look watch what happened with Donald Trump. The way Donald Trump just almost look for people who are at least our age for younger people maybe not recognize this as much. The way he snapped the Republican base out of you have to support every foreign war. Like they were, I mean if you talked to your average Republican voter in 2007 and you

Starting point is 01:11:00 said like, oh, I don't think we should have fought the war in Iraq, Afghanistan, I don't think we should be fighting any of these wars. They were like, what do you, some type of loon, what do you, some left wing hippie? Everybody knows that we had to go fight these wars and we had to do this because we love our country. And in one second, Donald Trump gave all of them permission to just be like, no, you don't have to believe that. Hey, you were lied to. And they went, oh, you know what? We were kind of lied to about that.

Starting point is 01:11:23 And I give Ron Paul a lot of credit for this too i think rom paul stand up there and say and saying this in two thousand eight and two thousand twelve gait led the way for donald trump to come out and and say it and i think in a way look rfk is point consistently at about twenty percent within the democratic base and he represents

Starting point is 01:11:43 a complete repudiation of everything Biden stands for. I mean, Biden's biggest policies were the Vax mandate and this crazy war in Ukraine. And RFK is like, yep, completely against both of those. I agree with you, but here's the thing though, if JFK was alive right now, would it be a Democrat? Well, I know, but it's impossible to know for sure. Well, according to, he has a picture with the gun. He was anti-establishment. The party has definitely changed.

Starting point is 01:12:10 The party is not in the same place. What I'm getting at is it's always one party that has the most of this bullshit going on. And it does just the fact. I'll give you a pushback on that because I'll tell you that look immediately in the aftermath of 9-11, the Republicans were absolutely horrible on a national level. I mean the George W. Bush administration, for the schools, let's not get away from the

Starting point is 01:12:32 subject of schools. Yes, yes, yes, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

Starting point is 01:12:43 no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, the wrong side. No, no, I said they've always pushed a lot of this bullshit. Yeah, but the other side is making the point that there's evolution with these parties, right? So at the time, while George W. Bush and Dick Cheney were instituting torture, they were pushing us into disastrous wars. It was actually the Democrats who were saying things, like which Obama was saying, which part of the reason why he got elected,

Starting point is 01:13:03 even though he didn't follow through on any of it, that we should repeal the Patriot Act. We should close one time obey. We shouldn't get involved in all these stupid wars. This was a message that was very appealing to a lot of voters. But it was all a lot of it. Well, whether it was a lie or whether he's got... They were spying on their opposition. Yeah, and we know this is not a bad... Now you're fast-forwarding to 2016. But whether it was a lie or whether Obama got rolled by powerful interests, I don't know for sure,

Starting point is 01:13:27 but either way, he didn't govern that way. I'm just making the point that the parties kind of flipped on this issue of war. And now the Democrats are much more of the war party than they were back in the wake of September 11th. And so one of the things that's fascinating about RFK, and I think one of the reasons why a lot of people get upset when he's got some of his bad liberal positions

Starting point is 01:13:47 like he's liberal on affirmative action or he's liberal on some of these other i'm almost like glad he has those because i don't want him to be a right-winger i want him to be the best liberal i want somebody to try to bring the liberals back and look we can have contempt for the half of america that votes for the the democratic party but that is that that is half of America that votes for the Democratic Party, but that is half of the voting base in America. And if we can't try to make them better,

Starting point is 01:14:10 we're gonna have a major problem in this country. Good point. I wanna add something before we move on to the next topic here. You said, I'm gonna stay in California till what? Till they burn it down or something like that. I'll burn with California.

Starting point is 01:14:23 Okay, perfect. So you said that, all right. And you know, all the people that jump ship or whatever you say, okay. I don't have anything against them. I just, that's my goal. I totally get it. But here, I saw people that said they're goal.

Starting point is 01:14:32 That's my goal. I don't think it really is your goal. I think you're saying it. It's a good motivational thing to say, but I don't believe. That's how you're going to think when you have kids going through a certain place. You're me right now.

Starting point is 01:14:44 Let me just say this to you. I just want to give you the message for you to be thinking about it. You're a guy that knows how to reason and we have some of the best conversations always together. That's why I love talking to you. When we go anywhere, you and I are always talking to each other, best conversations.

Starting point is 01:14:57 So here's how you have to process that. Why did you leave East Bakerfield? Definitely, I need to get away from the bad neighborhood. It's definitely not the right, why don't you write or die in Eastersfield? Definitely, I needed to get away from the bad neighborhood. Why not? Why don't you write or die in East Baker for Bakersfield? No, I agree. Okay, so did your dad make a good move leaving Mexico to go to Bakersfield? 100%

Starting point is 01:15:14 So he made the right choice as a father, right? Yes. Are you glad he made that choice? 100% How different would your life have been if you were going to be staying in Michoac, I'm going to be dead by now. According to the state, when my cousins are dead, I'll be dead already. So you have to know that the one part that one

Starting point is 01:15:30 thing that we don't know is trust me. You know how many places I'm in right now? How many places do you think I'm in right now? We're right now. Here. I mean, five different places. No, I mean, five places. Five. Because my wife is here, so I don't have to worry about where she's at. Right. When she's not around, I'm in six places. Of course. But I'm in five places, five. Because my wife is here, so I don't have to worry about where she's at. When she's not around, I'm in six places. Of course. But I'm in five places because I got my four other kids.

Starting point is 01:15:50 Right, right. You see where they're at. When there was no wife and there was no kid, I'm in one place. Of course. And it's easy peasy. Of course. I've got to worry about it.

Starting point is 01:15:59 I'm good to go. Life changes the moment that little kid you hold in your hand. And it's looking at you crying and you're going to call it Ricky or whatever name you're going to give your son or your daughter. It's going to immediately change for you. All you're going to think about is what you can do to give the best life for this kid. Decisions change in a very big way. That takes place. So for me, for now though, this is where I'm at. I would like you for you to sign a lease of an office basis, but that's a different conversation. So that was a personal shout.

Starting point is 01:16:26 I got seven offices over there. And you should have your own as well, but that's a different conversation. So go, go and go and back to it. I got seven more than a lot of people. I'm always poking, man. I'm always poking. All I'm saying to you is, all I'm saying to you is this part.

Starting point is 01:16:41 And then the other thing I want you to kind of be thinking about this, I want to go to you with this one this is one that I've been thinking about a lot is has here or knows is has here has is not you okay it didn't really not qualify you guys been serious or no seriously I just a joke or a series one was like okay cool well has so to me he's what I know he is I'm I'm a big house fan. He's an absolute stud. Him and his wife Navin are incredible people.

Starting point is 01:17:08 But this is one thing I want to say that's becoming very weird for me. What next thing I'm going through. So my parents, they got married. Both Christians. One was a communist. The other one was a Republican. You know, the other one was a imperialist. They got divorced twice.

Starting point is 01:17:23 But they were both Christians, interesting. So when people would ask me to say, what counsel can you give on marriage? I would say if you can do double, which is what? Same faith, same political beliefs, you increase the chances. Of course, you got to have magic

Starting point is 01:17:37 and enjoy each other's company, attract it to all the other stuff, but I'm just saying philosophically. I can only imagine if Jen was a socialist. It would never be. It would never work. She wouldn't let me raise the boys the way I want to raise them. The other day we were at dinner with Tom. Tom will remember this. We're at dinner to celebrate Kim's birthday and we were a very private conversation we were having. He knows exactly what it is.

Starting point is 01:18:01 And in one of the moments, she's in tears. We have to make a very big decision in our life. It's not an easy one. It's a very hard one right now. We're going through. And she just looks and Tom says, what are you thinking about this whole thing? And she says, Tom, I trust my husband. I trust whatever he says. This is what we're going to be doing because his decisions have been great with me. and I trust what he's going to take our family. Let me tell you, if she would have been any other way, I can't stay married. We've been married 14 years. I think we'll make it to 15. Okay. We take it one year at a time and this has been the message since the day we got married.

Starting point is 01:18:40 We take it one year at a time with marriage. We don't have this. I will never, never stop it. Stop it. Stop being so arrogant and acting like you're God, they can predict the future. The more it's about one year at a time, I believe. The more you're going to work into it, improve and kind of feel like you have to do your part. But I have to earn that respect for my work. Of course. Okay. So watch this. Here's what's been happening, which is kind of weird. So my community, we did a podcast one time, a guy who was the first one who was second one, a guy was Muslim.

Starting point is 01:19:06 What do you think about the Muslim community? How about us Muslim conservatives? And in your mind, you're like, wow, shoot, you know, Muslim, you know, there's a dungeon, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there , there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there

Starting point is 01:19:19 there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, when my sister is getting married to CLMAG and his family wants to come because he wants to ask for, you know, her hand, my dad and I got a massive argument. And he says, you're okay with your sister marrying a Muslim? Are you okay with your daughter marrying a Muslim?

Starting point is 01:19:40 I said, Dad, I would be okay. I would be more okay with my sister marrying a Muslim. I said, Dad, I would be okay. I would be more okay with my sister marrying a Muslim, where they share all the other common values. Then I am her marrying a an Assyrian who disrespect her. Doesn't treat her well and they don't have the same values. Now they got married. They did a Bahá'í ceremony in the wedding and they did a Christian ceremony in the wedding. Behind closed doors, it was World War III, but we acted very well. There's politics in all of the relationships and all that. What's the moral of the story?

Starting point is 01:20:10 I think there's something crazy going on right now. Can you imagine if conservative Muslims, Christians, Jews, Scientologists, Catholics, Jehovah, seven-day, LDS, A.C.S., more male-DS. If these guys come together, they're like, look, man, who you believe in? I believe in Eloran Hubbard, more power to you.

Starting point is 01:20:35 Who you believe in? I believe in Jesus. Who you believe in? I believe in Abraham. I believe in this. Who you believe in? I believe in Virgin Mary. All good, man.

Starting point is 01:20:43 I believe in Joseph Smith. Listen, to each his own, we can have that debate at a whole different time. But right now, do you believe they should keep these books out of school? There you go. Check, I do. Do you believe we should get married and have kids

Starting point is 01:20:55 after getting married and do the check? Do you believe we should check? Do you believe in these principles? Do you believe we need to stay strong in our country? Do you believe I do? Hey, guys, can we just come together? Because do you believe we need to stay strong in our country yet do you believe I do. Hey guys can we just come together because do you know crazy stat? 70% of Muslims vote Democrat. Did you know that? Let me say this one more time to you. 70% of Muslims vote Democrat. Why do they vote Democrat? You know why

Starting point is 01:21:21 one reason? One reason because Republicans are known for being what? Pro-Israel. And America is typically pro-Israel, but it's more on the Republican side, right? So why are the, what, what value of the Democrat, you know, the side of all this stuff? What values of those do you think Muslims agree with? None. None.

Starting point is 01:21:41 So watch what happened in the last midterms. You ready? Crazy number. 2000, happened in the last midterms you ready crazy number 2000 excuse me 2018 midterms only 17% of Muslims voted Republican 2022 midterms 28% Muslims are up 11% so watch what's going on right now if we sit there and say, and I've always had this, an amazity, or not even an amazity, it was the worst stereotype or whatever, by the way, some of the stereotypes are right. We had some of them were absent terrorists and Middle Easters.

Starting point is 01:22:14 Okay, you know, fine, people joke with me. You know, typically, somebody's saying, that's a terrorist black guy, you know, you know, you know, that kind of doesn't go together, mainly from one place. So we did this video measuring what are the top five

Starting point is 01:22:25 angriest countries in the world. You know what number one was? Lebanon. Number two was Turkey. You know what number three was, which makes all the sense in the world, Armenians, okay? So it's Lebanon. These are some pissed off people right now.

Starting point is 01:22:38 Now it makes sense for a lot of people saying, no wonder Pat's pissed off as a... I'm Armenian, what are you going to do? The Armenians were pissed off that they were Armenian. What are you going to do? The Armenians were pissed off that they were number one. Turkey, because Turkey is right above them, right? Oh, especially. But when you go look at the data, like,

Starting point is 01:22:51 okay, some of this stereotype makes sense. But what if like all the people that kind of got conservative values that are not getting to 35, 38, 40 years old, got kids going to private school, you're like, now you're going to, what if we unite? Yes. You got to cross? All good, dog.

Starting point is 01:23:04 You got nothing? No problem. You got dionetics? unite? Yes. You got to cross? Oh, good job. You got nothing? No problem. You got dionetics? Do your thing. You got to Quran? Let's unite to defend our kids against this madness. By the way, if that happens, oh my God. Go ahead and say something to Muslims.

Starting point is 01:23:20 And the Muslims are going to say, go ahead and say something to my Christian brother. Go ahead. Do you notice what happens? Another the dynamics there's a synergy going on and once you bring synergy with the people that they have for decades wanted to keep divided because the more divided we are the more they can control us the more we realize listen what do you think about all this stuff if if this were to happen with these communities well I think you're really onto something I also think to some degree it is happening.

Starting point is 01:23:45 And it's not just like the numbers you mentioned with Muslims, but even if you look at, let look Trump in 2020 was way up with his share of the black vote, way up with his share of the Latino vote from his presidential election in 2016. And a lot of this stuff is just, it's simply just the leftover playing their hand and pushing a lot of this stuff is just, it's simply just the left over playing their hand and pushing a lot of people away.

Starting point is 01:24:07 The idea that there's a lot of black people and Latinos who are like, yeah, I don't really like lockdowns and riots. I don't really like that, mixed with this crazy sexualization of children. You know what I mean? What's interesting about this idea is that, so the democratic base is kind of like this random collection of different like minority groups who they all kind of push together and then you'll hear Democrats talk about this. They'll be you know, they'll say things like the disenfranchised people or you know something like that. You know, they'll be like African-Americans and Latinos, the LGBTQ community,

Starting point is 01:24:45 and you're like, why are those all lumped together? The global. There's nothing in common in these communities. There's no reason. Like, I don't know if you, like, I grew up in Brooklyn, I kind of like was around a diverse group of people. Like, go into the hood and start talking

Starting point is 01:25:01 to black people about LGBTQ people. And tell me what kind of responses you get. You know what I'm saying? Like, it makes no sense. So they have this kind of loose coalition, and it's all built around, well, they're the racist white people. They're oppressing you.

Starting point is 01:25:16 But you bullshit. And therefore, you should all be voting this way because of that. But it's very loose. Like, there's nothing that really ties them together. Look, even LGBT, there's nothing that really ties them together. Look, even LGBT, there's nothing that really ties them together. They talk about it differently.

Starting point is 01:25:29 They talk about it like it's a community. First of, they're not a community. They're not an organic community. They're amongst all of us. There's like gays and lesbians are not really anymore together than like straits and gays are. In fact, you could argue, they're polar opposites, you know what I mean? Like transgender has nothing to do with being gay or lesbian.

Starting point is 01:25:51 It's a completely different thing. So they kind of force all of these groups together, but it's just held on to by these kind of like vague lies about how there's this like oppressive racism that's out there that wants to get you. But that was my point that I was making earlier. But it's one of the ways that. What are you doing that? Yes, that.

Starting point is 01:26:06 I agree with you. There's one only who's partying. I'm pushing the woke stuff. And there's another party that's impudent to kind of stand up against. I agree with you on that. But what you're proposing here, Pat, is much more of like, actually, let's

Starting point is 01:26:17 pull a lot of those groups together, but around something, like around a common view, around a belief that like, hey, listen, we're opposed to this woken sanity. We don't want this being pushed on our children. We believe in free market capitalism. We believe in individual liberty. We don't believe in fighting wars all over the world while our own country has fallen apart.

Starting point is 01:26:38 Safety protection right now, ladies. Like, if we could just come together on those issues, I think that could be a very strong coalition. Also, I'd add in the fact that there are, with the RFK wing kind of represents, is that like there is this camp of good liberals who are waking up, or good leftists who are waking up, who didn't buy the woke stuff.

Starting point is 01:26:56 That does exist. If you don't think so, they all call them right wingers now. But people like Glenn Greenwald and Jimmy Doar and RFK, Joe R.F.K. Yeah. Joe Rogan is a liberal. You know what I mean? They consider him like some guy right where we go. But do you know Marna? I think he's somebody who's kind of in that camp who's waking up to the insanity. But all of those guys like we also got to find

Starting point is 01:27:22 areas where we have agreement with them on. I'm not saying we're going to agree with them on everything, but you got to find areas of agreement. And that, I think there's a lot of potential in that. And by the way, we have no choice. We got to try to save this country. Like Pat was saying before, it's like, look, this is the greatest country

Starting point is 01:27:36 in the history of the world. We're still the greatest country in the world despite all the problems that we have right now. But that's not just because, like, we're on magical land or something like that. What are we saving you from? What are we saving it from? Yeah.

Starting point is 01:27:48 Well, the enemies of Liberty. Well, where are the enemies Liberty? Huh? Who are the enemies of Liberty? Tyrants. Who are the tyrants? Well, you want like their last names? No, no, I'm just like, who are they?

Starting point is 01:27:58 How do I? No, no, no. The reason I ask this question is because the people that are watching some of them are so oblivious that they don't know who's who. So like, okay, I'm new to this, quite to this subject. Let's say I'm new to it. You and me are not new to it.

Starting point is 01:28:11 I'm new to it. Who's the enemy? Who's the tyrant? Well, just define them. Well, I mean, look, you can... Like, you know, what is a woman? What is the tyrant? Well, a tyrant is anybody who is violating people's individual liberty.

Starting point is 01:28:22 And so right now, there's no question that it's, it's hard to even say Joe Biden. It's the people around Joe Biden who are pushing these insane policies. But look, you have entire, what we have, what we've seen through COVID, what we've seen through the last 20 years of war, you have these, this unholy alliance

Starting point is 01:28:41 between private interests and government power. Where you have the military industrial complex they have this entire system where weapons companies are funding think tanks that then lobby for wars based off lies right in hundreds of billions of dollars for those weapons companies same with pharmaceutical companies same with the entire banking complex where you have this insane system

Starting point is 01:29:03 where every freaking treasury secretary is a former gold Sachs employee and then just happens to you know it like uh... uh... has policies that benefit all the banks that there are part of the agenda yellow and the federal service or will stimulate the economy yes warn abortion will stimulate the economy according to johnny allen uh... so what what needs to be done is there has to be an actual draining of the swamp this is what donald trump promised So what needs to be done is there has to be an actual draining of the swamp. This is what Donald Trump promised, and this might rub some people the wrong way, but this is what he failed to deliver on.

Starting point is 01:29:31 Okay, now at least he promised, at least he talked about it, but there's really no question that he did not deliver on that. The swamp still exists, the swamp swallowed up Donald Trump much more than Donald Trump ever drained the swamp. So what we need, I believe, is like we need a mass awakening of as many American people as possible. That's why I think shows like this are so important. And what we need are, it's kind of like a three-pronged strategy. Like we need a mass awakening of people. We need elites to get in the game. I'm talking about very wealthy people,

Starting point is 01:30:04 very influential people. A good example of this is what Elon Musk just did with Twitter. Not everybody can do that. Not everybody, what did he buy it for? What was it? $44 billion. Not everybody, if you asked me to come up with $44 billion, I'd need a few weeks. I mean, like Elon was able to come up with it for a while. Of course. I have to call a lot of friends. If I can add to that. But you need to requests. I have to call a lot of friends. If I can add to that.

Starting point is 01:30:26 But you need to not anyone can do that. And then just about any other strategy is going to have to be some type of political strategy. I'm a big fan of local political power. There you go. The notification on a local level. Make sure you know it's going to be tough to get the perfect president in there.

Starting point is 01:30:40 But you could get a damn good sheriff in. A damn good city councilman. Take over your local. Absolutely. We can go locally to know the local candidate. Even DeSantis is an example of this where look DeSantis really did something on a state level that really mattered. You know, like was the most important thing for your liberty in 2020 and 2021 was not

Starting point is 01:30:59 what your president was doing. It was what your governor was doing. And that's true on local levels as well. But the other thing is that we're just going to need, it's got to be like Donald Trump level of like bravado, but with somebody who's actually read a book about something once. And like knows what they're talking about. Sorry if I alienated some of the Trump fans here. But Donald Trump has seen a show about a lot of things, but he hasn't read a book about a lot of things. And that's read a book about a lot of things and

Starting point is 01:31:25 That's why he gave us Anthony Fauci for all of 2020 Because he was like well, I'm told he's a great guy Well number one America is the only country in the world that is founded on an idea Every other country in the world was founded on where geographical location where you're at where you're at America was founded an idea life liberty and pursuit of happiness. We don't need a King or a ruler to basically dictate what we do. America. And it just, sorry, no, but even more specific than that, that, like, very specifically in

Starting point is 01:31:54 the Declaration of Independence, that this is self-evident according to God. He wants men to be free. That's the starting point of the United States of America. Is that I'm starting with God wants me to be free. That's the starting point of the United States of America. Is that I'm starting with God wants me to be free. And the only reason why government exists is to protect my freedom. That's an unbelievable starting point for a country. It's not a coincidence that that was our starting point. And this became the most successful country in the world. Exactly. And then to Ricky's point, you asked like who the tyrants are, I would respond with anything with the word big and big tech, big pharma, big military

Starting point is 01:32:28 industrial complex, big government, big lobby, anything with the big, anything with big that is consolidating power, okay? And the list can go on from that. On a local level, brother, on a local level, who is your enemy, on a local, who's a tyrant on the local level, city council, mayor, governor, school board, school board. Who's my enemy? Who is my enemy and where do they lean? That's all I wanna know.

Starting point is 01:32:49 Who's my enemy? How do you vote? You're my enemy. Hey, I'm a local, I wanna talk to you. I can't fight, I can't fight big farma. Not right now, I can. So who's my enemy and where do you vote? This is where we differ, Ricky, because in Florida here,

Starting point is 01:33:02 it's a very purple state. I don't have enemies here. I have my neighbors, I have my friends, I have people. You have my disagree with, you have California Ricky. You have Floridian Privilege. Damn right. So like, California, who am I out of California? If you don't want that privilege.

Starting point is 01:33:14 I'm just explaining to you. I understand. Who is my enemy in California? Well, in California, you have enemies because you're one of 33% of California, so agree with you. Where you have 67% of people who are like, fuck you, I'm going to woke agenda,

Starting point is 01:33:27 and that's what California's falling apart. Even though they have a tolerance. So the tyrants are clear. There is a clear line. You can't tell me I can't see my city councilman. You can't see that, I can't see a school. So get in control, direct. I'm just asking, no, it's not for me, bro, I know.

Starting point is 01:33:41 So get in control. People that don't know who is your local tyrant. I don't know. We don't have a local tyrant My I have I have mayor Francis War as is our buddy and he's awesome fucking me Yeah, but your audience that people are watching this not just in Florida bro. It's all over the country But that's what I don't know what you're asking about local so who's okay? So I don't know what's going on in California That's for you to feel like who would be a local enemy. I don't have local enemies That's my point so I can't see where the public be vote and then to realize that's my enemy

Starting point is 01:34:05 If they're voting for the same bullshit everybody else. Let's talk let's talk about a few things Let's transition one thing go for it and and this is I think it's very important of what you were talking about about conservative Muslims and all this and everything with that tell me red. I think I am I'm hot and here and I need some water But the point is this America is changing exponentially. I got one. We're good. There you go. America is changing exponentially 50 years ago if I asked you this question, rank the following thing, I've done some of my show multiple times, rank the following three things in the order of which is most important to you of who you would marry. Race, religion, or politics. Race would be number one. A black woman and a white guy, a black, oh my God.

Starting point is 01:34:45 Now it's the exact opposite. We see mixed race couples, no problem. Zero people have issues with that. Number two is religion, okay? Jews, Muslims, whatever, this, that, Christians, this, Buddhist, yeah, maybe, you know, Hanukkah, Christmas, whatever. But by far and away, the number one thing today, kind of what Pat was saying, is that imagine a capitalist

Starting point is 01:35:04 Republican, mega person, marrying a socialist woke Democrat. It just wouldn't, and I would say the woke thing even more than the socialist thing. Like it'd be one thing to be like a capitalist with the socialist would still be pretty tough. But could you, I just can't even fathom being married to like a social justice warrior,

Starting point is 01:35:22 tight check? Like I don't understand. I don't think we could get through an hour. Like, there's just no possible way. It's like Dave Chappelle, you know what I mean? Like, it's a habit. He wants to be a girl at four years old. Let him be a girl.

Starting point is 01:35:34 First, this is a transition. It's like Dave Chappelle, you should do a skit about you got to have mutual interest, baby. It's like, I can't be going to church. You can't be smoking crack. Like, we, like, just not how it works. Okay, so like that that's where we're at society today is that the right and the left are so far

Starting point is 01:35:49 removed from each other and I actually agree with Ricky on the Democrats especially in California the left has gone so freaking far left and you're talking to a guy my dad had a picture of JFK grown up I'm like yo JFK that's my guy already got shot in the head while I go keep it moving but he banged my own on Cool, whatever. And then I was raised in that classic liberal type of environment. And then Obama came in and it's like, all right, so the White House is now gay now.

Starting point is 01:36:15 All right, cool with it. And then all of a sudden this trans stuff, I'm like, I'm a dude, I'm like, it's a play football. What's this trans thing? So it takes liberals to be like Bill Maher, for example, or Joe Manchin for an example, who are Democrats, but they're like, yeah, we're not down for all this kind of stuff. And the Democrat Party has sprinted so far left,

Starting point is 01:36:37 so far left that it's unrecognizable at this point. And the problem is, you hit the nail on the head, George W. Bush ruined the Republican Party.'s the reason why why listen it's the reason why it's also partially responsible for why we went and you know when you're talking about how the left went so out of control you know a lot of this was because the George W. Bush administration ended in such disaster that it was almost like they had no seat at the table anymore.

Starting point is 01:37:07 Do you know that he has the highest and lowest approval ratings of ever? Yes, after 9-11, yeah, he's something percent of the rating. And also, Tommy was out of office, it was like 20 percent. This might be almost hard for, I think, younger people, I do a lot of shows and I have a young audience, so I'll talk to like 20-year-olds and stuff. And they were like babies when this was happening. They're babies now. Well, yeah. But they don't remember it, I'll talk to like 20-year-olds and stuff, and they don't really, you know, they were like babies when this was happening. But they don't really remember it, I'm saying. You almost feel like the left just controls

Starting point is 01:37:32 the broader culture. But this actually was not the case immediately following 9-11. The culture had a very right-wing mood to it. It was very much about patriotism and hierarchy and military and go-America, which was a natural response to being attacked, you know, and it was very much like, and essentially the American people, as you mentioned, the highest approval ratings since we've been recording,

Starting point is 01:37:54 presidential approval ratings, the American people gave George W. Bush a blank check to fight this war on terrorism. They go, you have whatever war you want, whatever action you want, whatever policy you want, if you want to grow up at the airports, if you want to torch your footballs. And to the Patriots. You want to open Guantanamo Bay, the Patriots, the Department of Homeland Security being created, whatever you want. And he spent this blank check on two wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that led to the deaths

Starting point is 01:38:22 of over a million people. And what we got for it in turn was our bravest young men blowing their brains out by the tens of thousands at the price tag of trillions of dollars and the region completely destabilized anyway. Just nothing but, I mean, a lot of it. There's a whole bunch of million. You know, there's a whole, but if you look at Washington DC, there's a whole bunch of millionaires out there in Washington DC. We did very well.

Starting point is 01:38:49 We talked about this the other day, the zip codes with the highest, where's the incomes? Every crime that the zip code with the highest crime in every category. It doesn't matter, a burglary, you're talking about murder, everything the highest number one is DC

Starting point is 01:39:06 But the city also with the most people making over $200,000 here is DC and all of them are making that because they're in some way Some way politically entire country including New York and including LA new port beach Miami DC's number one most people making over $200,000 So but anyway just to my point, so then after, and of course, now this, so this is what we get out of George W. Bush's blank check, and then on top of that, his presidency ends with the worst financial crash in a hundred years. So it was just like,

Starting point is 01:39:38 so like, it was like so obvious, and that's why Barack Obama is elected, because he was the most anti-George w-bush thing that people could think of right and then Obama comes in and continues all of the bush policies after running on I'm going to repeal all of these policies and then and then there was a pivot it was right or it was in 2012 okay it was when Obama was running for re-election and what did Obama come out and say for his re-election campaign? Did he come out and say, hey, look, remember, I told you I would close Guantanamo Bay, and I did it.

Starting point is 01:40:09 No, he couldn't say that. Did he say I ended the war in Iraq? No, he couldn't say that. Did he say we're not torturing people anymore? Did he say we're not dropping? No, in fact, by this point in 2012, not only had Obama continued the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, he had also launched a stupid regime change war in Libya. He was starting to fund a civil war in Syria.

Starting point is 01:40:26 And he had the drone bomb campaigns in Yemen and Pakistan. So what did he say? He's got this base of liberals who he hasn't done anything that he promised. So what did he say? I'm for gay marriage. I'm the first president who's ever been for gay marriage. And they put the White House up with the pride flag colors.

Starting point is 01:40:46 And if you go look at this, this was a concerted effort from the top. You can go look, there are these Nexus charts where you can map out words in major publications. I'm not talking about mom and pop news outlets. I'm talking about the New York Times, the Washington Post, like the big dogs. Go track how many times the word racism was mentioned.

Starting point is 01:41:04 And around 2012, it shoots up. Yup. Social justice shoots up. Transgenders and shoots up. White privilege shoots up. This was forced on the American people. Why are we having these conversations now? The people did not wake up one day and decide, we want to have a national conversation about

Starting point is 01:41:23 chicks with dicks that didn't happen. This wasn't an organic movement. It was all of the most powerful people decided this is what we're going to talk about. And why was that? Because it's the perfect look when you're failing on policy, you pivot to a culture war. You pit people against each other so they're fighting each other. We had in this country, we had an Occupy Wall Street movement where leftists were standing outside of big banks screaming, we are the 99 percent.

Starting point is 01:41:48 Right-wingers had a populist movement called the Tea Party, where they were outraged about the bailouts of big banks on sustainable debt, government spending. They don't like that. That's not what the powers that be like. You're getting too close. Look, they like you fighting about issues like abortion. Now, I'm not saying abortion isn't a very important issue. It's a very important issue.

Starting point is 01:42:07 But us fighting about that issue doesn't scare anyone at the federal reserve. It doesn't scare anyone in the CIA. They don't care if you fight about that issue. They love you fighting over transgender bathrooms. Yup. And you can see this every day. They're stoking this culture war because they have to, to distract from the fact that they completely failed on everything else, that everything in the 20th century so far for

Starting point is 01:42:28 America politically speaking has been a disaster. What if they handle it? What if they handle it? They distract you with the submarine, but the stories like that. Stories like that. Love stories like that. CNN loves an airplane crashing. They love something where it'll get clicks and no powerful people will be upset about it.

Starting point is 01:42:43 If they actually loved real stories that just got clicks, there's a lot of stories that get clicked. They've been passing them up for years. It's part of the reason why shows like Joe Rogan are taken off because they can run stories. Hey, do you think that like people getting vaccine injured is not a story that would generate a lot of views for CNN? The vaccine that the government just mandated has hurt all of these people.

Starting point is 01:43:06 That's a huge story. Why won't they run it? Because all their commercials are freaking pharmaceutical companies. They don't want to piss off powerful interests, so they're not in the game of that, so they have to create something for you to be afraid of, you know, white supremacist terrorism is everywhere, you know. We talked about the tyrants, Big Pharma. We talked about this in some podcasts all the time right that there's two countries that were at was at least I'm still on that was amazing that was it makes them noise for a day man I was unbelievable on what was amazing thank you you know I want to go to the next story I want to go to the next story I I will tell you guys the

Starting point is 01:43:41 last ran what it did confirm that the biggest threat to America is no longer chicks with dicks. That was very important to know that. Thank you for that. Don't ask, don't tell. Hold on, guys. You didn't let me finish the rant. It gets there.

Starting point is 01:43:53 Next one I want to talk about what's going on in Hollywood. Anybody following what's going on in Hollywood with the strikes? Who has no clue what's going on in Hollywood with strikes? Okay, this is pretty big. Ron Proman, who played Hellboy, he played in Hellboy, and what's the other one he was in? He was impudient to be back in the 1987. He was the beast. And then the other character was who?

Starting point is 01:44:15 Brennan, what was it? Sons of Anarchy. Sons of Anarchy, okay. So Ron Proman makes a video, and he calls out this man that's making 27 million dollars here right now guys in Hollywood it's absolute shambles may 11,500 people right from the writers guilt went on strike which means Rob if you want to go on Google Google YouTube right now 11,500 writers went on strike in May the

Starting point is 01:44:43 last time Jimmy Fallon has done an episode was in May. The last time Stephen Colbert did an episode was in May. The last time Jimmy Kimmel did an episode was in May because there is no writer. So go on YouTube and go to Jimmy Fallon's episode. It's the best up. It's the best up. It's the best up.

Starting point is 01:44:59 Two months, no shows, right? No movies, no shows, no streaming, nothing. Everybody's on lockdown. Then this week, July 14, 150,000 members from SAG went on strike. So now there's 160, 1,500 people in Hollywood who are not working. And by the way, if you're part of SAG, you can't have another job. So for example, for example we were inviting rock who were we inviting here that said you can James Woods James would said I can't work I'm part of sack so he can't even come on the podcast to speak because that's considered what James's camp email Rob back saying I can't because I'm part of sack so watch this while this is going

Starting point is 01:45:38 on Hollywood is got all these issues Ron Proman and respond, but his one is the most entertaining one. Brace for impact, there's a lot of curse words, but he's talking about somebody and I'll highlight to you who he's talking about. Go ahead. Who said we're gonna keep this thing going until people start losing their houses and their apartments? Listen to me motherfucker There's a lot of ways to lose your house some of his financial Some of this karma and some of it is just figuring out who the fuck said that and we know who said that and Where he fucking lives? And we know who said that. And where he fucking lives. There's a lot of ways to lose your house.

Starting point is 01:46:28 You wish that on people. You wish that families starve while you're making 27 fucking million dollars a year for creating nothing. Be careful, motherfucker. Be really careful. Because that's the kind of shit that stirs shit up.

Starting point is 01:46:47 Peace out. Obviously he held back from, you know, really shown his emotions, which was very noble of him. Definitely, or sure. So we're sitting there figuring out who this 27 million dollar guy he's talking about. So type in, I go online, I'm like, I'm thinking he's talking about this guy,

Starting point is 01:47:01 we Google Kelly Wurnderum, it's me, you and who are branded, right? We're in the room. Was Maverick in the room or was Maverick in the room? One of the guys, Maverick was in the room, Bambi, yes. So we Google, check this out. Bob Eiger's income last year, type in Bob Eiger, made $27 million last year. Oh wow, so he's calling out Bob Eiger. Look at that. So then Bob Iger had an interview with CNBC that we go and find. We're not going to play it for you because it's three, four minutes

Starting point is 01:47:28 long. I just kind of paraphrased what he said. He says, look, it's a shame what they're doing right now because there's a lot of people that are relying for jobs and they got to go out there and do this and they got to go out there and do that. And these guys have to live in their homes, have to pay their rents, have to pay their mortgage, so he's talking about Bob Iger, the CEO of Disney making 27 million years. So now, question that becomes, okay, so where did they go from here with everything that's going on in Hollywood? Why some of the stats on what's going on in Hollywood, by the way?

Starting point is 01:47:56 We sat there, it's me, the group, and I said, you know what I want to know? Let's look at box office numbers. If you can pull up, Hollywood box office numbers, Statista was a Statista of Pure Research, Statista. Hollywood box office, world box office numbers, Statista right there, click on that one. It should be, 2019 should be 43 billion. Now go to the other chart that actually,

Starting point is 01:48:19 well, you can use that one, zoom in a little bit. Zoom in a little bit, zoom in, nah, that's not the one, that's another one. Brandon, if you can text Rob when he finds it, go back, maybe go to the second one, zoom in a little bit. Zoom in a little bit, zoom in a little bit. Nah, that's not the one, that's another one. Brandon, if you can text Rob when he finds it, go back, maybe go to the second one, that could be the one, yeah, go to that one right there, I think this is the one, perfect. Look at 2005, global box office, go up so people can see

Starting point is 01:48:38 what the top Tyler says, global box office revenue from 2005 to 2021. In 2005, global box office was from 2005 to 2021 in 2005 global box office was 23.1 billion in 2019. It's 42.3 billion every year it's going up. Boom! COVID happens. Drops to 11.8 then it goes to 21.3 and last year was only 25 billion dollars just so you guys know we haven't gone back to 42 billion dollars yet far fine no problem now watch the other the other part we're having this conversation

Starting point is 01:49:09 the discussion becomes you know Kelly says pat how do you feel about this you know how do you feel about this i said i'll never forget uh... with the gentleman that was buying the company time you'll remember this call he says patrick we have agreed on this number. He and I talk on the phone.

Starting point is 01:49:27 He says, the next three to six months, there's only gonna be one community that's gonna ruin this from becoming a reality and it's the lawyers. Your lawyers, my lawyers are going to fight and they're gonna make this deal not happen. Every time a guest to the point when the deal doesn't happen, you and I gotta get on the phone to get us in a prompt. So you

Starting point is 01:49:47 know who's lower screwed it up first? Tom who's lower was it? You can say it's our lawyer. Our lawyer day one on a zoom with all their lawyers blasts all of them. You guys don't know what the fuck you doing? I'm like so I get the call. Pat you want to even believe we were on the Zoom it was the most uncomfortable Zoom, our lawyer did this and I, I give him a week, maybe he's gonna cool off, he had a bad day. Second day, same thing, third night, fourth night, anyways.

Starting point is 01:50:13 Eventually, we have to get on the call, so this still is not gonna happen. Union in the middle right now is what's running Hollywood. Union in the middle is getting these guys to do what they're doing. The guys at the top of all these big companies are making the money. Unions holding hostage because they're asking for lots and well what about this and what about that one part of the side that the talent does have a proper argument

Starting point is 01:50:34 because this is you know they're scanning actors right now. And once they're scanning your your body they can use it what I give you credit. The end of the movie flash. Have you guys seen the movie flash with your kids? The end of the movie flash they're you guys seen movie flash with your kids? The end of the movie flash, they're using dead characters and they have it in their true CGI, but they're not paying that person. So essentially these guys are said, wait a minute, you're using my likeness, my body,

Starting point is 01:50:57 I should get paid somewhere, say 100%. I can see the debate being maybe they pay you 10%, they pay you 20%, maybe they pay you 30%, but it can't be free It's me you can't do that pay me my so there's good arguments there But at the same time AI well we don't want you to use AI all this other stuff that we wrapped it up with this and I want to get your thoughts on this I Said let's go and measure the top 100 greatest movies of all time

Starting point is 01:51:21 What is the most credible source to go to? Give me the website that we can trust. What is it? Perfect. We went to IMDB. Do you know the top 100 greatest movies of all time? What decade had the most most movies as a top 100 greatest movies of all time? 80s or 90s. I think it was 50s was first. Huh. I want to say was it 60s first? No, I was. Yeah, so I think I think it was 50s, 60s, 70s. Then it went to 30s, 40s.

Starting point is 01:51:57 Wow. And then it was tied with 90s, then 80s. And then in 2000 was only three movies in the top 100. The three movies were the pianist. If you've seen it, if you haven't, it's a phenomenal movie. Then it was gladiator and I think the other one was Lord of the Rings. That was from 2000. Do you know in the last 20 years, 23 years,

Starting point is 01:52:16 what all the technology, what all the CGI, what all the Photoshop, all the stuff that they have, they've only produced three movies that are in the top 100 greatest movies of all time. Why? Well, I think there might be a direct relation between that because sometimes when you go and watch these old movies, when they had none of that, what you needed to have was a great movie.

Starting point is 01:52:36 Story. You know, because you had to have a great story because otherwise there's nothing else to do with it. Whereas now you can really just like, it becomes a crutch, just crazy action scenes and crazy things like that that art, you know, might be enough to get people to go see the movie but aren't enough for them to be like, oh, this was like an all-time great.

Starting point is 01:52:54 It's also, look, this whole industry has bit, like what we were talking about, like the industry in how people consume news but how people consume entertainment. I mean, we're in the middle of a revolution, nothing short of a revolution. Like, when I was a kid, it was very normal when I was a kid to not have cable.

Starting point is 01:53:12 Like, when I was a little kid, we were kind of broke. We didn't have cable. We didn't have cable till my mom met my stepfather and he had cable and I was like, there's more channels, what do you mean? We're like, we had, Mom made that guy. We had five channels on our TV. It was like, we had, uh, Mary that guy. We had five channels on our TV.

Starting point is 01:53:27 It was like there were five channels, and then there was like movie theaters. And that was like entertainment. That was like the only way to get something. Today, like, me and my wife, like, I have really like, we've turned on cable, maybe five times in the last year. I don't even know why I pay for it.

Starting point is 01:53:45 We're always watching something on Netflix or on Hulu or on Amazon or something like that. But we now have, not only do you, for entertainment, you not only have, you have a world of podcasts and internet shows and all types of like streaming. Shops. Streaming content creators, all types of streaming shows. And then you also have access to the entirety of Hollywood, all of the history of it, right on your, what would be considered movie theater-sized TV,

Starting point is 01:54:13 that you have several of in your house. Round sounds. Yeah, and like all, I mean, it's basically almost a movie experience in most people's living rooms today. So they're just tough when you hit something like 2020, where all of a sudden nothing's being produced anymore, and everybody realizes all of these other options, even once things kind of reopen up back in 2021,

Starting point is 01:54:34 it's like you're left with this like, well, I don't really know if I need to make sure I go catch the latest movie. I don't know why he's waiting for it to come on, I definitely like, yeah, I'm a prime, or. Which I personally, for me, like I got two little kids, it's a whole thing for us to go out to the movies. You know what I mean?

Starting point is 01:54:49 If there's a movie we want to watch, I kind of much rather find it in the house anyway. Like, and then we go out and do something else. I think there were, in a revolution in this. By the way, nowadays we're so busy. We're watching movies on 2.0. It's kind of like Titanic. And everything's fast.

Starting point is 01:55:04 Well, here's a decade. You guys want to know if you can put this up. So people can see it. I don't know if you guys can see it or not. So the number one decade was the 50s. Then in one to 70s, tights 60s and 90s were tied, then 40s, 30s, then 1980s, and the last place is 2000s for movies.

Starting point is 01:55:22 I literally only go to the movies when P.B.D. does a value-tamined field trip when we go see air. What was the last place is 2000s for movies. I literally only go to the movies when P.B.D. does a value-tamined field trip when we go see air. What was the last one? Air, right? Air, or I saw the sound of freedom. Thank you, Matt Sipala for that recommendation. But I also think that, like,

Starting point is 01:55:36 I don't even know what's in the movie theaters these days, but it's like, fast and furious, 57, or Harry Potter, 19, or Avengers 417. I think it's just the same nonsense over and over and over and over again. By the way, did you watch the last fashion of your movie? No. Have you watched the day? The last five years? I don't think I don't think I've ever seen a full, fast and furious movie. The new character they have? Interesting individual. So you're the guy watching the movie, there it is. Yeah, it's running.

Starting point is 01:56:06 That's why I asked you if you watched it. So let's have our sounds of freedom. So by the way, a big part of what's going on as well when you think about all of this is the ESG requirements which you have to add into movies, you're forcing people into these movies, you have to have a certain amount of number of people part of LGBTQ.

Starting point is 01:56:21 You don't write now in Hollywood to be nominated for Oscars. You have to have a certain amount of disabled people working on a movie. Yup. You guys haven't, it's cool. Did you hear what I just said or no? Yes. Okay, can you please pull up the new guidelines

Starting point is 01:56:37 to be nominated for Oscars to show everybody what the guidelines are? You have to be, did you actually hear what I just said you got to have a gay you got a midget you got to have a trans you got to have a black guy that turned into a midget that was formally gay like there's so much D E I E S can there just be like can there be one person who fits all of the like one just like one gay trans Medgett who we can just put in every movie just for like a high-speed actor by the way But just like for one second made seven hundred twenty eight million dollars this year And then but then we're just like they're covered as a guy you can make your move

Starting point is 01:57:14 He's taking all the jobs. I guess taking all the jobs Can you pull up the guideline? Here's a guideline just so you guys are if you wanted to know so a movement forward a At least one lead actor, significant supporting actor has to be from underrepresented racial ethnic group or specific country or territory production. Definitely go a little bit to the right because Adam's foot is not let me go the other way, the other way. There you go. That may include African American black African Caribbean descent East Asian, Hispanic, Latino, indigenous people Middle Eastern North African Pacific Islander South Asian. American, Black African, Caribbean descent, East Asian, Hispanic Latino, Indigenous people,

Starting point is 01:58:02 Here's the other part. See too? Watch this. At least 30% of all the... Can you highlight that part? Oh my gosh. Because you were on reading. At least 30% of all actors and secondary and more minor roles are from at least two underrepresented group, which may include women, racial or ethnic LGBTQ and watch the last one. People with cognitive or physical disabilities who are deaf or hard of hearing. What?

Starting point is 01:58:23 By the way, do new guidelines. Hear me out, the new guidelines. The last, I think, 50 movies, that one movie dear, The Oscar, none of them would have won based on these guidelines. That's the direction Hollywood is going. Peebe, read A3. Can you continue with A3?

Starting point is 01:58:37 Go for it. What's A3? The main storyline subject. The main storyline theme or narrative of the film centered on underrepresented groups. Women, racial ethnics, LGBTQ people with cogn, same exact thing as well. storyline subject the main storyline theme or narrative of the film centered on underrepresented groups women racial ethics of LGBTQ people with cognizant exact thing as well. By the way, did you watch the last fashion of here's will you put? I know what story you're gonna talk about the fact aqua man was a guy that was gay

Starting point is 01:58:56 Bad guy in a flamboyant super like the entire movie was just like are you sure? Jason mamoa. He was gay in the fashion. Pretty much bro. Pretty much flamboyant and doing his nails and doing the nails of a dead guy and The entire movie was just like are you Jason? Moa? Jason? Moa. He was gay in the fast and fierce. Pretty much. I'm blowing in and doing his nails and doing the nails of a dead guy and just weird shit he was doing in the movie. His alchemy gay or bad. Six.

Starting point is 01:59:14 By the way, in about a couple minutes, we're going to go to anybody. Have any questions or about a couple minutes, we're going to go to questions on any questions you guys want to have. Speaking of movies, by the way, shout showing us the rocks, little cousin right here. By the way, let's wrap it up with this. Let's wrap it up with this. Sounds are freedom. Yes.

Starting point is 01:59:30 Okay. Simple story. It's a story about, told the story, $100 million, crowdfunded Christian movie, Sound of Freedom, it hits $100 million, tap's mission impossible. Wednesday star, cost drunk, and new Moses on box.

Starting point is 01:59:46 Amen. I'm assuming you guys thought I know you did. Can you tell us what you're I mean, Matt, you and I watch it together in Bahamas. Ricky, have you seen it already or not? Yes, Matt, your biggest take away watch a movie. We came back from Bahamas and then on Tuesday in Oprah. We had a super B.O.M. and then the next morning on Wednesday morning,

Starting point is 02:00:02 11th, 30th and first show before I left in my flight. Oprah, my smart move showed up to the theater.O.M. and the next morning on Wednesday morning, 11.30, I'm first show before I left in my flight. Oprah Gwansman showed up to the theater, we packed it. I can't imagine being that father in that movie who felt so dead gone helpless, knowing that he didn't know who to call, who to talk to. And he can track his kids. He's poor, he's got the resources. His baby just got taken. He's a single father. I was resonating with that because I was a single father track his kids. He's poor, he's got the resources. His baby's just got taken.

Starting point is 02:00:25 He's a single father. I was resonating with that because I was a single father raising my kids. And I'm asking myself this question too as well. We all laugh about that movie taken. I mean, people think it's an action movie. What it said movie really? It's a human trafficking movie.

Starting point is 02:00:37 But we missed it because we got distracted with an action movie. And what is Leon Nielsen saying in that movie? I have a set of special skills. I'm gonna find you, right? So I'll ask myself this question, because you know, you've always coached this P.B.D. to always prepare for no matter what's, you know,

Starting point is 02:00:53 if a distraction is coming away, you have an action plan for that. So I'm asking myself this question, who do I call if my kids are amber alerted and kidnapped? That has a special set of freaking skills. So we have to do something like this. And we found them. And we had them on our podcast, and we interviewed them one

Starting point is 02:01:13 day, and we started with a case study that right going right now in Dallas, right down the street from Frisco is Louisville. The 17 year old, so it's a working case, they're working on it right now. It's a 17 year old. She's currently being trafficked since she was 13 She can't get out the life because the Pam so you don't want to do this You don't want to do this. They take a selfie in further mom's house

Starting point is 02:01:31 We know your mom lives and if you if you don't do this We're also going to take your 10 year old sister. We're gonna bring it into the life. We're gonna flip her So she does a job. She's I can't do this. I can't do this. It's fine if you don't want to do this You need to recruit your replacement So in the movies on the freedom the recruiters weren't the guys. It wasn't some weird dude in a mask, glasses, and a white van. It was a woman. It was a non-threatening person.

Starting point is 02:01:56 So this 17-year-old girl recruits this tenure-road and is horrified what happened. So she promises this girl candy and ice cream. But what she finds is a bunch of guys that kidnapped her, shatter full of fentanyl. And she had to hear this 10-year-old girl for the next two hours gang raped, to continue the process of desensitizing her of what the rest of her life is going to look like.

Starting point is 02:02:22 So Christian, Muslim, Mormon, as a matter of what, left, right, can we all agree that we'd never ever wanna have that happen to our kids? That's our enemy. That's our enemy. We're all distracted, I was bullshit, but the enemy is what? The drug trade is not even sexier

Starting point is 02:02:38 to the gangbangers. I gotta go all way to cook, you get my cocaine, cross your board, I gotta find a meal, but what? That right now is not the opportunity if you're a gangster. Because it's expensive to get a drug game, we would you buy a key for 30K, and you flip it for 60? Right, where you turn.

Starting point is 02:02:55 I'm on just right there. You do it. How do you know these numbers, man? I'm Chicago, I watch. Ricky, validate those numbers. So, I don't know, bro. Well, that's what TV roll like. Yeah, we're gonna get half on it.

Starting point is 02:03:06 But it's a dry city. Dry city, dry city, ain't it? But if you got to get a key, so you can be a corner boy, you can drag it in your city, but it's also expensive. So for example, if you have crime, and you're doing drive-by, as people know, with HC, a car, and you have a description, they're gonna find you. You have drugs, people are in drugs, you obviously.

Starting point is 02:03:23 By the way, how many guys were raised around people that you saw in neighborhood, people are on drugs, right? High, crazy, right? How they look. So you can tell there's drugs in your neighborhood. The thing with human trafficking, you can't tell. Yeah. It's a hidden crime.

Starting point is 02:03:36 And if you got caught with drugs, you got caught doing drive-by's. You're gonna get arrested, you're gonna be prosecuted, you're gonna spend some time in jail. The problem with human trafficking is, even if the person gets caught with the person that they're pimping out, because they have them in such a lock,

Starting point is 02:03:48 they'll go into the night at that's their pimping, because if they follow through with it, they know where mom lives. They know where the family lives. So they say, no, this is my friend. And what happens is there's not enough laws. There's not the whole defund the police movement. Guess what they've defunded?

Starting point is 02:04:03 Human trafficking. They didn't learn forms. So we've had these nonprofit organizations to be the ones that are taken guys, Navy SEALs, and if you're a Navy SEAL, a former law enforcement special ops, there's organizations that are trying to recruit you right now to be that Liam Neeson character to go out and defend us, because that is going to be our next wave.

Starting point is 02:04:20 Like, we like low-jack, but we are cars being ripped off right now. Imagine having to get a low jack for your kids. So that's the era that we're faced right now. And anybody that's against this, that's minimizing this, that's coming against this, thank you for exposing yourself. We now know where any of you is to.

Starting point is 02:04:35 So by the way, number one, that's a man right there. That's a father right there. Shout out to Max. Thank you, father. I mean, emotional. So seriously, Pat recommended we watch the movie, right? And I think you watch it in the Bahamas. I was on vacation.

Starting point is 02:04:51 I don't know where I was. And then I get home and I see you do a video with like 20, like an army behind you. So over here. You're encouraging everybody, you'll go watch this movie. I go watch the movie. And the day before on the podcast, we were discussing it and there were headlines rolling stone,

Starting point is 02:05:08 certain magazines, articles, like disparaging the movie and basically marginalizing the whole concept of the movie. For sure. So I go into the movie, already knowing, all right, they called it a Q and on conspiracy theory. So I'm thinking, all right, let's look for these clues. So I sit through the two and a half hour movie and I'm thinking, all right, when's the QAnon thing coming?

Starting point is 02:05:33 When's the right wing conspiracy thing coming? And it was just generally a movie about freaking child sex traffic, period end of story. And the fact that it's politicized. And there's people being like, no, it's kind of okay, it's like so shocking to me. It's like, even if the argument is that like, if they're saying like,

Starting point is 02:05:53 oh, they're making it out like this happens in larger numbers than it does, it's like, well, if it happens at all, is that worth making a movie about like, you guys make movies about things that are incredibly rare all the time But David's not that it happens at all. It actually is happening more and more and more and more so it's not just a Tiny little blip on the radar right there No, I'm just making the point that even if it was totally it would still be legitimate

Starting point is 02:06:17 Like And people that are basically trying to minimize it and marginalize it, I don't understand what. Well, clearly, I think obviously the reason why it plays into this kind of bigger political show, by the way, I have not seen the movie yet, so I can't comment on it, although I'm definitely going to. But clearly, it's like there's something to this idea of like the evil of prang on children and the evil of like sexualizing children that is something that's on everybody's mind right now. And then here's an example of the most egregious form of that.

Starting point is 02:06:49 And then you see, it's very bizarre to see these kind of progressive types who are kind of already have been kind of normalizing the sexualization of children. But look, there is, I was talking about this just the other day, there was that quote by what's the, what's the beautiful woman's name, Levine, Levine, the military. Rachel Levine? Yes, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the,

Starting point is 02:07:17 the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the She was making the argument that like kids can choose this former rear admiral gentleman This is your health. This is what Democrats voted for as your health expert. This is a Navy admiral Health expert. Well, overweight man that thinks a, overweight man thinks he's a woman. That's what it's about in so many ways. She was a point to me. So, yeah, so this dude was talking about Dave, how dare you. I'm sorry, sorry.

Starting point is 02:07:53 So, it was a comment about how that kids, you know, that pubescent children should be allowed to make the decision to get hormone treatment and puberty blockers because they know what puberty they're supposed to go through and they know this and look it is obviously just the idea of giving kids puberty blockers are hormone is like horrific but there's something almost more fundamental uh... to the foundational claim there which is essentially that children can

Starting point is 02:08:22 consent because if you can consent to this, I mean, that is the most permanent, like, that is so much greater of a decision than having sex or having a tattoo or getting drunk. You're talking about permanent life long to say that. Well, you have to be 16 now, drivers, like, 18 to 17, over a past. You need to be 21 to drink, but you can be 10 years old and cut your dick. That's right, that's amazing. That's even the worst part about it.

Starting point is 02:08:47 There's already a state that passed that if parents don't affirm this bullshit when their kids are minors, they could take your kids from the house. You said that, I don't know. I saw that when that was proposed. Well, by the way, California, they just, luckily they just vetoed it,

Starting point is 02:09:00 but because of one party that has all the power in California, they just vote that uh... uh... say a beat a pedophile or or or a sales uh... uh... having sex with the minor or or sex shopping for minors is not of uh... considered a bad crime they literally just voted for that and he got so much backlash and they had to switch it over but it just happened as the something in california

Starting point is 02:09:22 they literally just passed that so i'm like, there is something to fight off. And I hope people realize, you know, Tucker Carlson gave, you know, he gave that speech, it was the last speech right before he got fired from Fox and started the Twitter show. And he had a point in there that I thought was really, really profound where he was just saying that, like, this isn't really a political battle. Like, this is a theological battle when you get into terms like the idea that like you shouldn't pray on children is not a right wing view. It's not a left wing view. You know what I mean?

Starting point is 02:09:53 It's just a normal versus view. This is a good versus evil. Yeah. And there's really no other way to keep it about other than that. Fusion 611. That's it. So if it's not political then why is it political? Well the political process is being used. But the point I'm making when I say it's not

Starting point is 02:10:09 political is that it's not as if like if you get into a if the the idea is if if you propose that um taxing wealthy people and redistributing that money makes for a more just society and then I want to argue well no actually in fact lowering taxes allows those wealthy people to invest in companies creating more jobs and expanding the economy. We're having a political debate. If you say I think we should be praying on your children and propagandaizing them, I'm not having a political debate with you anymore because they're using the power of government

Starting point is 02:10:42 school. That's the same. There's no more like it's just the realm is now in like a, it's a theological debate. You're talking about child sacrifice now. This is not like, it's just, it's a different type of debate. It's political because obviously laws

Starting point is 02:10:57 and politicians are involved in it. I'm just saying that it's like, you almost have to conceive of it in a different way. This isn't left-wing versus right-wing. Like, we have these different political Adiologies that we're either Seeding with each other. It's a moral. I disagree I disagree

Starting point is 02:11:12 I disagree. There's not political and there's not left versus right and 100% it is and it just is and I don't care When anybody says it's true because there's only one party pushing yet that you commutulate your children That you can get arrested if you don't from their gender that that all this the SB bullshit There's only one party pushing it. It is 100% political, and it's easy identified on who's pushing it. Is that simple? So it is bullshit.

Starting point is 02:11:31 You're not- I'm not in his politic. I'm not arguing that there's one political party who's more guilty of it. What I'm arguing is like, when you say the term left wing, like historically what left wing versus right wing has meant is that left wingers believed in egalitarianism and right wingers believed in traditional hierarchies.

Starting point is 02:11:52 This doesn't fall into that. Like this is a completely different thing. That's what makes him more sick. This is a different beast. That's what makes him more sick. Yeah, no, I don't actually think we're disagreeing. That's even, no, no, no, I know we're not disagreeing. That's what I'm saying.

Starting point is 02:12:04 Well, your tone seems to be the same. No, I don't actually think that's best. That's even, no, no, no, I know we're not disagreeing. That's what I'm saying. Well, your tone seems to be the same. No, no. It's anybody, anybody, let me tell you why. But let me tell you why. The fact that it shouldn't be politicized. You're right, that's right, bro. Everything you tell us, bro. No, I love you, dude.

Starting point is 02:12:19 Let's go get pierced. All right? No, let's be done. Here's a bud like. I love you. I just, the fact, the fact that it's like what you're gonna be doing. Here's a book like. I love you. I just, I just, the fact, the fact, the fact that, the fact that it's like, it shouldn't be political, but it's political, for example.

Starting point is 02:12:30 Where's Natalia, Natalia is sitting right here. Her mom posts, go watch, sounds of freedom. And some goddamn idiot that looks, it educated. You can look at your mom's face, but, that thread, I don't know if you saw it already. I'm going back and forth with this guy. He's like, oh, it's some Q and on, conspired, right, we conspired. See, bro, it's so cute and on, it's spirit, right, we conspiracy.

Starting point is 02:12:46 Bro, fuck you, bro. Like, what are you talking about? I agree. Like, what are you talking about? And I guarantee you, if I look at his voting card, it's gonna have a big SD on it. I guarantee you. And I'm asking you.

Starting point is 02:12:58 And I'm asking you, bro, can I ask you guys? Because I haven't seen the movie, so I'm just genuinely curious. Is there anything in it about how like there is something like going on with the political class? There's no so there's just there's no like Story of it's a hundred percent. There's zero politics And let me tell you why let me tell you why I get up more upset about it, okay? Here's all of our cultures have something going on. Obviously yours went through a whole lot of the Holocaust.

Starting point is 02:13:28 Everybody's here. Here's what we are to be hiding right now. Right now. 30% of women. 30% of my people coming up the border are being raped and human traffic coming from the border of Guatemala to Mexico to the border. I've sat down in front of a graffiti. I recruited this girl. When she was 15, she was gang raped by 12 men. And the only reason that she was saved was because a lady that was cooking for the men

Starting point is 02:13:56 bothered from there to save them. I've seen this shit. It's not right when you're left wing and there's only one goddamn party trying to make this okay. It is not okay. It is not no. You can't mutilate your goddamn kids. No, you should not lower the law to make it less worse for these idiots to go to jail. It's defined who's supporting this much. My brother, I just had a right. You're right. You're right. Listen, I understand. You're right to be outraged. It's appalling what's happening to girls and boys on coming up. But it happens in my country, but I understand. I'm just telling you, if you're pushing the open borders policies or the de facto open borders policies that you're talking about of the Biden administration, they were absolutely

Starting point is 02:14:41 pushed by the entire Republican administration, the entire Republican establishment as well. Jeb Bush was out there on the debate stage saying, it's an act of love, we have to let them all in here. It wasn't until Donald Trump that Republicans were even raising this issue. I'm not only saying, it's just not- There's a lot of guilt in the Republican Party as well. I'm not saying that.

Starting point is 02:14:59 I get it because obviously, the only reason illegal immigration works is because it's illegal because you can exploit. I get that. Both sides profit from that. But there's what we have the remain in Mexico. But again, I understand what you're saying and I totally can I don't disagree with you. Everything you're saying are facts. But we're living in right now. And right now when you have open borders and incentivizes people to traffic other people. It's my majority of the people that are being affected by it are my people right now. Not 400 years ago, not to God that man, Sesters, right now. Yeah, I agree. And many ways right now, under this administration for people

Starting point is 02:15:36 that voted on this president and it's happening on a local level, on a state level, on a community level, right now. Yeah, and that's my issue. In many ways ways we have the worst of all worlds, because it's like these de facto open borders where to your point, it is still technically illegal. So you're still technically in this black market where you're not protected by anything. So it's not just pure legal open borders. We're exploiting.

Starting point is 02:15:58 Pure open borders would be legal for everyone to come in and that would carry with it a lot. I got one last story. I got one last story. I got one last story before we wrap up. Guys, if there's one thing everybody here can do, they can talk. Okay, we can talk for hours and hours and hours. I got one last story.

Starting point is 02:16:15 We get a breaking news video that gets sent to us. Okay, we have to talk to our lawyers before we release it. Value Taiman broke this video just earlier today, a couple hours ago. Before we did, we emailed General McChrystal because it's General McChrystal in the video, talking about North Stream Pipeline. Okay, and what happened to it?

Starting point is 02:16:42 North Stream Pipeline, a lot of people are saying, well, you know, Ukraine did it, no, it was Russians did it, Putin did it, no, who did it, happened to it? North Stream pipeline, a lot of people are saying, well, it was, you know, Ukraine did it, no, it was Russians did it, putting it no, who did it, who did it? Now, General McCrustville, to be fair, this is not a regular person, he's not a sergeant, he's not a captain, he's a four-star general. General.

Starting point is 02:16:57 I've interviewed him seven years ago, we had a very good conversation together, and so we emailed him to let him know, do you have any comments on it? I don't believe we got a respond back from him. play the clip and I know you've spoken about this a lot I'm gonna get your reaction on this so here is General McChrystal and a Gentlemen in DC got this footage in DC Sends this video over to us if you can play this clip

Starting point is 02:17:20 There's no obvious Better solution in Russia. I think put not ago But there's nobody that I'm aware of standing on the wings. You seem like there's a lot more radical people standing on the way, so I'm sorry. You're a little more Nordstrom thing like. Getting at that, I was like, oh yeah, Russia did it, but do you think, what do you think did that? My son, Moses, is the leader of the energy team at DIA. He didn't get the right to do it. Defense intelligence. He didn't get the idea of the defense.

Starting point is 02:17:57 I mean, there are people who benefited from it. And that was people who produced natural gas around the world. So if you really want to get conspiracy, the corporate side. United States made more money out of that deal than anybody else. That's true. But you have it, that's because we were huge beneficiaries.

Starting point is 02:18:13 We changed our policy. We started providing liquid natural gas overseas. And there's no. I don't know if you guys realize what he just said. A four-star general. My my interpretation i want to get shores dav interpretation america was behind possibly north-stream pipeline coming from a four star

Starting point is 02:18:34 general who worked under obama by the way just so everybody knows i'm going to give it up to you if you want to give a little bit of context behind the story yeah well if people don't know general uh... my was, he was in charge of the war in Afghanistan under Barack Obama, and he was the head guy, like before Patreus took it over. This was his war. And there, or after Patreus took it away. Anyway, he was the guy, they had a falling out, he was the guy who got interviewed in that rolling stone piece and he got drunk with the reporter and started just like trashing Obama

Starting point is 02:19:11 and then he published all of it and then he had to resign because like you're really not supposed to do that when you're a four star general talking about your commander in chief to a reporter kind of an interesting insight into how some of the top military brass actually look at the president there's obviously a lot of evidence when Donald Trump was president too that a lot of these people don't really feel like they work for the commander-in-chief, which is disturbing in its own way. But what he's talking about here is the Nord Stream pipelines. I assume most of you guys know what this is. It's a natural gas pipeline that was built from Russia to Germany and it was blown up

Starting point is 02:19:41 late last year. They tried to blame it on Russia. It made absolutely no sense that this was Russia. Germany had basically agreed in part of the Western effort to support Ukraine that they wouldn't use the pipeline. But so Putin blowing it up is just blowing up his own pipeline. He can close it from his end. There'd be no benefit to him. But there's an enormous benefit to Ukraine and the West.

Starting point is 02:20:09 Because the big fear was that it was going into winter, Germany's having a lot of energy problems because they've embraced these insane climate change policies. And so they were worried that the Germans might break in the winter and agree to start getting some of this natural gas from Putin again, if they're dependent on him for natural gas, how much resolve are they going to have to keep supporting this war with Ukraine? So it's not just the issues that he's talking about, that, okay, this also benefits all these other oil companies. Look, who had the means motive and opportunity to do this. It's pretty obvious who it is. There was also a Sal Hersch who had a great bit of reporting on this that it was absolutely America

Starting point is 02:20:51 who blew up the Nord Stream pipeline. Just to be clear, if that's true, this is an act of industrial terrorism against a NATO ally who were sworn to defend if they're attacked. And I hope it at least opens people's eyes up to like, it's not so clear. Like look, I love America. I just hate our government. So just to be clear on that, I just hate politicians that they are not the good guys in this

Starting point is 02:21:23 conflict. It's not as simple, and wars are never as simple, as like, Russia bad, Ukraine good, America good, Europe good for helping them. There's a lot more to this conflict than that. Good guys don't commit environmental terrorism to one of their closest allies. And the truth, this is what I've been talking about

Starting point is 02:21:44 for a long time, but if you look into the history of this whole conflict, Vladimir Putin is actually absolutely wrong for invading. The war is illegal and it's horrible, and a lot of people are dying. But Vladimir Putin was absolutely provoked for decades by the West, who after winning the Cold War, were the soarist of winners and just did nothing

Starting point is 02:22:04 but tried to degrade and humiliate and poke and prod the Russians. There was a long plan, largely driven by neo-conservatives. You can go read about it in their project for a new American century back in the 90s, where their attitude was basically like, instead of what even a lot of the great Cold Warriors, like George Kennen, who was the founder

Starting point is 02:22:23 of the containment strategy, who was fighting the Soviet Union. His idea was once the Soviet Union fell. It was like oh this is wonderful. You guys aren't communist anymore you overthrew your communist. Now you can have freedom. Now we can all be friends and the Neo-Conservators went no now they're weak. Now's when we take over the world and they used to they used to draw the line in down the middle of Germany. West Germany was with the West and East Germany was with the Soviet block and that was how Europe was split and now we've expanded NATO all the way

Starting point is 02:22:57 up to Russia's borders. NATO is now taking it over the entire and close. And they might, you know, from what the establishment people will say is they'll go, what, this is just a defensive, a defensive alliance, NATO. Now, and they are a defensive alliance, you know, except for all of the times that they fight aggressive force. If you overlook that stuff, like Putin's army is only defensive, except for when it invades a Ukraine.

Starting point is 02:23:21 And so basically, in 2008, it was announced that Ukraine would be joining NATO. This is what really sent us all down this path. This has been Putin's red line forever that you can't go any further. Because you're coming to your end of the as your neighbor. Yeah, there are very strategic and important. Putin's perspective, NATO is not a defensive alliance. NATO is the European arm of the American military empire. And from his perspective, he's like, I cannot have you taking over Ukraine. There's just too many vital strategic interests here.

Starting point is 02:23:54 I can't have all this hardware, military hardware, right on my border. In 1962, when the Soviets put nuclear weapons into Cuba, Jack Kennedy said, that is unacceptable. It's close. It is an act of war for you to have nukes this close to us. And I will blow up the world. That was literally what he said.

Starting point is 02:24:13 I will blow up the world if you don't move these nukes up of here. And then they got on the phone behind closed doors and they negotiated. And the Soviets pulled their nukes back, and we pulled some nukes back in Europe, and we saved the world. And the fact that we haven't been

Starting point is 02:24:26 from day one of this conflict, saying, okay, let's negotiate what the deal is here. Okay, how about we pull our NATO hardware back a little bit, and Putin, you pull your military back a little bit, and instead the Biden administration's policy has been, we will fund this war till the end of time. Like, why? Why is that in America's interest? It's not. has been we will fund this war till the end of time look why why is that in america's interest it's not

Starting point is 02:24:47 you know it must be ruled by kiev not the law's go by the way the big story really passionately care about that or mic paenses not of his concern listen man as far as i'm concerned and ronda santa's was uh... heroic governor during covid and he took on the world and he did a very good job for you guys but he's just nowhere near good enough on this issue. He's just waffling on it whenever he's talked about.

Starting point is 02:25:07 Oh, the problem is the mission is ill-defined. The problem is that we're involved at all. Trump has been phenomenal when he's talking about this issue. The Vakramaswamy has been phenomenal and RFK has just been unbelievable on this issue. It's a proxy war of choice on the border of the country with the largest nuclear stockpile in the history of the world. I couldn't think of a more insane reckless policy for zero strategic advantage. And all it's doing is continuing the diet. Matt, I just don't know. Yeah, I just don't think we need NATO anymore. What was NATO

Starting point is 02:25:40 greater for? Because NATO was created because all the European armies, or countries were decimated through World War II, and NATO was created so they're for America, and Russia doesn't come to war again, to basically those are the last big boys of the military. These countries now are rich. These countries now are making money. Far rich are the Russia.

Starting point is 02:25:57 The A can defend themselves, right? And on top of that, every time we go, because every time I was deployed, we're always looking at the news, why are we going here? Why are we going here? Why are we who's fighting why are we fighting for this because we're Commended to do so and so when we're looking at this want we just take care of our backyard. Let's take care of our home There's so much here that our kids are at stake right now That's you know the the border. There's so many issues here. We got to take care of home

Starting point is 02:26:21 I think America needs to be selfish right now just like all of us us we can go in business. You want to help your family, you want to help your mom and dad, you want to help the community. But guess we got help first yourself. You got to build a big bay shop, you got to build a business, you got to go field training, right? America needs to take care of itself. Get rid of that. We don't need any more, let these countries fight. We are at the tail end of the podcast. Make some noise for all the folks here. Dave, Matt, Wicky, Adam. Thank you, everybody.
