Oh it's an early one good morning. Bam we're live. We're live. Mikey. What's up, Christine? What's up, Michael? No, not Michael. Michelle.
You know, I know a Michael Schenck, not a Michelle Schenck. Good morning, guys.
Congress has 535 voting members. of them are senators, 435 are representatives, and then the vice president of the United States
as president of the senate has one vote in case there's a tie.
What do I know? That's just straight off of wiki. I think the way it works is
if we want to get something passed, it has to go through the House of Representatives, then to the Senate, and then if both Houses of Congress vote on something and agree on
it, it becomes, what do they call it?
Does it become a law, an act?
I don't even know what the word is that they call it.
But as I've dug more and more into Eli Crane, our guest tonight, this morning, man, what
a crazy journey it is.
Subcommittees, committees.
It is a wild ride.
Eli Crane is one of the 435 members of the United States House of Representatives.
He's out of Arizona.
He's been on the show before.
Served in the military as a SEAL.
I wanna say, boy, I looked this up.
I wanna say deployed, how many times?
Five times?
He started one week after, said the September 11th attacks.
He dropped out of college and joined the United States Navy
He was in the Navy from 2001 to 2014. This is his wiki page
Who knows if it's even true three of the five deployments were with the US Navy SEALs
And when I say who knows if it's even true there was some shit in it. It's just crazy that they write about him
that's just crazy that they write about them.
Wiki, Wiki calls them a conspiracy theorist because he had concerns about the 2020 election.
It's crazy.
It's crazy. I wonder if I wonder if Wiki calls the guys who didn't believe in the
Hunter Biden laptop. I wonder if they call those guys conspiracy theorists.
I bet they don't.
And I wonder if they call all the people who thought that the Russian dossier was real,
if they call those guys conspiracy theorists.
Ridiculous.
Tyler Watkins.
What's up, dude?
Any drones in Albany? There will be. I'm not ridiculous. Tyler Watkins. What's up, dude? Any
drones in Albany? Uh there will
be there will be there will be
drones in Albany. They seem to
be popping up everywhere. Here
we go. We're we're seconds away.
Good morning, dude. Good morning. Good morning. Hey, great to have you back on.
Yeah, thanks for having me, man.
Appreciate it.
Hey, are you in DC?
I am.
Okay, you're looking, because it's six in the morning here on the West Coast and you
look really good for six in the morning.
Yeah, I mean, I got two hours on you guys.
So I know you have a busy day, Eli.
And I know you've been on the show before.
And I was just telling I was sharing a little bit about you with the live listeners, you know, your
background serving in the US military.
And now you're a sitting congressman in the House of Representatives for the state of
Arizona.
Yep.
So, so that background's done.
Yeah, there's, there's like an alarm going off when he's getting emails. So that background's done.
Yeah, there's like an alarm going off when he's getting emails.
Yo Zach, I said hi and thank you.
He's great.
Yeah, I will.
Thank you, man.
How's everything going?
He's awesome.
So good.
So good.
Lights good.
No drones in California.
Hey, first of all, just no, no bullshit, man. You are a breath of fresh air for those of us who are keeping speed on what's going on
in the United States and your sincerity and your authenticity and your vigor and your
dedication and kind of like your ability not to pick up the shiny objects.
I know you're in your second term and you just won,
but you give us like, you really do,
I hate to use this word, give us hope
that there's someone there with actual eyes
on the kids in the piggy bank.
Thank you, brother.
Appreciate that, it means a lot.
Okay, I'm gonna dig in right away with the drones and then I got some other questions.
When COVID was happening and Rochelle Walensky, the head of the CDC, would come on CNN, she would say shit like, I mean, she would just blatantly let you know that she had no idea what was going on on accident. It would slip through her mouth on accident. She'd be like, well, we hope the vaccine doesn't allow transmission or we hope it offers
protection. And at one point she even said she gets her news from CNN, her information from CNN.
This is the head of the CDC. And you're like, boy, this is unsettling. Is it like that with the
drones too, that just the social media is this huge brain
child. You have drone experts coming on. You have the people who are saying it's a nuke.
Some people are saying it's the size of cars. Is it like that with the drone information
too or does the government actually have a handle on this one? Well, they if they do have a handle on it, they're they're not divulging that to us
I can tell you we had hearings up here last week
We had unclassified hearings and then we even went down to the skiff and had a classified hearing and in both cases
the origin of the drones and the intent of the drones was withheld from us.
So it's one of two things. They're either lying to us, which, you know,
that happens pretty regularly up here, or they don't know what's going on.
And unfortunately, they can lie to us because, you know, we're either in corrupt up here or we lack the backbone to hold anybody accountable.
And so it kind of makes sense, right?
When you have little kids, if you never hold them accountable when they lie or they steal
or they do something they're not supposed to, obviously the behavior is going to continue.
It's the same thing up here. If nobody ever gets held accountable, then these agencies, they feel no reason to give you the truth, and they gaslight you, and they try and stall every effort that you launch into oversight and transparency.
I saw you questioning Mr. Wheeler. When you question people like that, what is
that called? Like what is that session called? Does that have a name?
Yeah, that was the Homeland Security Committee.
There's a bunch of committees up here in Washington. I'm on the Homeland Security
Committee. I'm on the Small Business Committee, and I'm on Veterans Affairs.
This next congress I just found out yesterday I'm going to be on oversight, which is one
of the big hearings that gets to look into basically every government agency.
So I'm pretty excited about that.
But yeah, those are called committee hearings.
Are those real or or those theatrics?
You know how like TSA is like security theater?
Yeah.
Are those real like in the sense that something could actually come out there or is that all just theater for the American public?
Well, I think it's both.
I mean, there's definitely an amount of theater that takes place in there, but you put these guys under oath in many cases the moment they walk in.
And so if you perjure yourself before Congress, something could happen, but it goes back to what I was talking about a second ago.
And if we don't have the backbone to hold anybody accountable, then it really doesn't matter.
When you get information about the drones, are you like us, when you're getting information about the drones,
social media and the experts popping up just on Instagram or on TikTok or wherever,
is that where most of the politicians are getting their information also?
Well, I don't think so.
I think that it's a combination.
I think every member has probably their own procedures.
But we get our information through news like everybody else.
We obviously have a lot of connections up here in Washington that are constantly
sharing information with one another, other members, staff, et cetera. And then also,
like I said, you'll have committees of jurisdiction and you can get information through the committees and sometimes you'll get information
in a classified setting as well, so you know there it's just a
broad range of
You know resources that help inform us on what's going on
When you're done interviewing this guy mr. Wheeler from the FBI and it closes
Do you guys walk into the hallway and are you like, Hey dude, what the
fuck? When are you guys going to tell us? Like, are there conversations that are like
that transparent, like afterwards?
Um, you know, sometimes, you know, sometimes things like that happen. Definitely didn't
happen last week. In this case, I actually had a meeting I had to get to after that exchange there
between myself and Mr. Wheeler.
I think one of the most revealing things
about that exchange was just finding out
how little the FBI spends on counter drone technology.
And that's where I was going with my questioning of him
and some of the other government officials
who are tasked with protecting the American people.
Because if you watch what's going on in the world right now, with Ukraine and Russia,
for instance, drone warfare is exploding.
The technology is exploding. The Chinese put a lot into the manufacturing of military drones and using them for the purposes of warfare.
You can go watch a lot of this stuff online, but it's actually pretty terrifying just how drone technology has expanded, how deadly it's become.
My concern is that at some point, that's going to spill into the US, and it's going to spill
all over the globe.
My question to these guys is, well, if you spend, I think it was like a $12 billion
budget, if you spend $500,000 of your $12 billion budget on anti-drone warfare, how
effective do you think your anti-drone warfare or ability to stop drone attacks is going
to be?
Obviously not big at all. obviously not good at all.
And we have big events coming up here.
Obviously we've got the inauguration on January 20th, swearing President Trump back in.
And that's not just a big event because the president's there, but you're going to have
all of Congress, you're going to have the Senate there. You're going to have world leaders from all over the world there.
And when warfare is changing so rapidly and you're not keeping up with the ability to defend against it,
which is my concern, that leaves you extremely vulnerable and open for attack.
And obviously that's not the only big event
we have.
We have the Superbowl coming up.
We have the college playoffs coming up.
We have the World Cup coming up anywhere.
You know, this is something, you know,
that goes back to my time in the service, you know,
to catch or kill a predator, you have to think like one.
And you've got to do the same thing when it comes to some of these individuals
who would love to inflict mass casualty harm on innocent Americans.
You have to basically think like somebody who would want to harm them.
And so I do the same thing in my job now.
If I was a terrorist and I wanted
to inflict as much harm on innocent Americans
as possible, how would I do it?
And I would definitely be looking at drones,
the use of drones, something that kept me
from having to be in close proximity to the actual events,
which would aid me in my escape or my evacuation route so that I
didn't get caught, but could allow me to do a lot of harm to innocent civilians.
And so that's my concern.
I just don't feel like, I feel like these guys are always behind the curve.
And that's something that is very common with government bureaucracies.
They don't have to be efficient because they're spending other people's money and they also
have a bunch of burdensome regulation that prevent them from getting rid of employees
that aren't really go-getters don't think outside the box aren't
movers and shakers aren't you know aren't problem solvers but they're just
there for the paycheck and so that's my that's my big concern when I look at you
know the the whole drone situation right now I mean we've all seen the footage of
the Chinese can put 10,000 drones up. And you know, I own five drones.
None of them are registered because you just go to the store, you buy it, you connect to
your phone, you start playing with your kids.
All my drones have facial recognition.
It would be so easy to attach a grenade to 10,000 drones, tell them, hey, as soon as
you lock eyes with someone detonate, push the button and then they go.
I mean, on the most primitive level, right?
You don't care who you're kill.
You're just, you're just, there's got to be someone who can do that. I mean, you've seen the drones,
right? The 10,000 that go up in the air and they can make a picture of a unicorn like flying.
Yeah, I have. And you know, on that note, it's, you know, it's, it's interesting too, because
obviously, up here in Congress, we fund the Department of Defense and you know
unfortunately you know when we fund the Department of Defense I also fear you know that you know the
Department of Defense often because of its connections to the military industrial complex
of its connections to the military industrial complex is often more likely to fund like a
billion-dollar fighter that's going to be obsolete in a couple years, if not now, when you look at how rapidly warfare is changing. A you know, because, you know, you these a lot of these
defense manufacturers, they're very smart, what they'll do is they'll have like a project,
you know, like an aircraft and what they'll do is they'll make, they'll have manufacturing
for that aircraft or that military vehicle and they'll strategically place the manufacturing
aircraft or that military vehicle and they'll strategically place the manufacturing to where they have manufacturing going on in like, you know, a majority of the states in the
country and so representatives are incentivized to keep that project going so that they can
go home and tell their constituents, hey, I made sure that that plant stayed open. I voted for the NDAA or the defense appropriations bill or whatever it is. And so there's stuff like that going
on up here all the time where the focus isn't necessarily in making sure our military is
lethal and effective as possible in mitigating the threats of the future.
And so you see stuff like that happen all the time up here and it's kind of alarming.
And you talk about this a lot on the Sean Ryan podcast, which you are absolutely amazing. What
a great podcast. As soon as people get in office, their priority is to get reelected as opposed to do their
job.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
And, you know, it's kind of sad to me, honestly.
Like I get it.
I feel blessed to be here.
I feel blessed to serve my country again.
But it's just so sad because there's so much corruption and foolishness and arrogance up here.
And you just see it, especially in a place like the House of Representatives, where our election cycles are every two years.
Half the time of a member for many of these folks is spent on reelection, right?
Now in the Senate, it's different.
They have six year terms.
So I would say it's not the same turnover for them.
And they definitely have a different election cycle,
but I can't speak for anybody else.
I don't know about your audience and how they feel about things.
But I believe that most people don't trust the federal government and probably for a
very good reason.
This place is 100% broken.
We spend about, I think it's a trillion dollars every hundred days up here, or I should say
we borrow another trillion dollars every hundred days up here or I should say we borrow another trillion
dollars every hundred days up here money we don't have and we spend it on
all sorts of and we're getting ready to do it right now just this week we're
gonna fund the government again you know before we leave for the holidays and
it's it'll be like a 1,500 page bill and it'll be in one vote
up or down on the entire thing and it's going to be loaded with all sorts of nonsense.
And it's just sad how this place works and how the focus for so many people isn't like
how the focus for so many people isn't changing or fixing the broken system, but getting reelected. It's always that internal dialogue that I think many members have with themselves like,
well, if I want to make a difference, I have to stay up here.
If I want to stay up here, I've got to get reelected.
If I want to get reelected, I've got to make all these phone calls so that I can raise the money so that when it comes time to counter the attack messages that are coming at me
in commercials and on digital ads and mailer ads, I have the war chest to do it.
So I get all that, but it's just sad because I feel like we're losing our country.
I think I told you that when I came on your podcast the first time.
It was the only reason I ran in the first place.
And it's one of the reasons I've been willing to make very big moves up here.
Because I think when you get in such a dire spot, whether it's in your family, your business, or even in a nation, you have to be willing to say,
hey, what we're doing is not working.
We've got to make some pretty radical changes
if we're gonna turn this thing around.
And so, and in doing that,
I knew that my political career could be very short-lived,
but that was a price I was willing to pay
because I'm not here to be a part of the club.
I'm not here to be here for a long time.
I really do think this country's in trouble.
And the way I see it right now,
there's no appetite up here
to quit spending money we don't have
or be as reckless as possible.
The one little bright piece of hope I see is this, this dodge group with Elon Musk and
Vivek Ramaswamy watching the members pander to these guys because they think they're like
celebrities and they want to get a selfie taken with them.
But it's funny because you'll see them. We had a meeting with those guys a couple weeks ago.
They came into D.C.
You should have seen all these guys,
all these members that vote for every crappy spending bill
that comes up here in Washington, D.C.,
go to the mic and talk to Vivek and Elon
about where we need to cut,
even though they won't cut anything, they
vote for everything.
And it was just kind of funny to watch that interaction.
And so, you know, I'm hoping that, you know, I'm hoping that Elon being the richest man
in the world who has said that he's willing to play in primaries, you know, if people
try and obstruct the agenda that the American people just voted in favor for
this last November, I'm hoping that he will play in primaries and I'm hoping he'll use
his massive communication platform to put people on blast who continually gaslight the
American people and misrepresent what they're about up here and you know, this that thing is severing. It's
It's it's it's a two-part deal, you know, it's like yeah politicians are part of the problem
But the bigger part of the problem really
Is the American people that continually send these people back here because they don't pay enough attention
so they're easy to gaslight. Like if you don't pay attention to what's going on,
you know, I can come back to my district or a politician can come back to their district
and just completely gaslight you about, you know, tell you everything that you want to hear,
but you don't know any better because you don't pay attention to what's going on.
And so it's so we'll never change this country until the American people start paying attention
to what is actually going on up here.
And you know, we'll see if that day ever comes.
I'm going to circle back to that.
And I want to talk to you about some crazy shit I heard Bernie Sanders say.
But first I want to ask you, from what I can see, from the algorithm that's fed to me,
the predominant theory is that these drones are US drones and they're sniffing the ground.
That's the term the news is using the mainstream media to look for something.
And the predominant theory is that they're looking for radiation contamination or a nuke
that may have escaped from the Cold War.
Can you confirm any of that theory?
I honestly, I can't, you know.
I told you last week we had, you know, top members of the FBI
and other organizations in multiple hearings
and we were asking the same questions and we got no answers.
I try to be pretty transparent and honest with people.
I'm not gonna gaslight you when I don't have an answer.
I did see some reports that some radioactive material
in New Jersey earlier this month arrived at its destination
in pretty bad shape and damaged and missing.
And that could have something to do with it, but I can't confirm, you know, or deny reports
that I'm not aware of.
Going back to people not understanding the corruption, when I hear Bernie Sanders saying
stuff like he wants to go after Coca-Cola and he wants to he wants to tax them more or he's like complaining about how much money
they make. My immediate thought was dude, you're totally missing the point. And this
is going back to what you were saying. Do not attack the free markets. Let Coca-Cola
make as much money as they want. What we need is we need them not interfering with the CDC.
We need them not interfering with the FDA. We need them not interfering with EPA. And
if that means destroying, taking down those organizations, the FDA, the CDC, then we need
to do that. Is that where more where you're like, like, Hey, these systems can't be like
they want to still work within the system. And it's like, you don't understand this.
This is a system that does bad things in my eyes. It's not it's not in the second you tax Coca Cola, then all of a sudden the government's in business with them.
Yeah, I'm not a I'm not a huge fan of the federal government. I'm a big fan of a limited government, you know, I think that's what our founders wanted. I think it was one of the reasons you had so much growth
and prosperity and freedom here within the United States
for so long.
So I'm generally not a fan of the federal government
putting its heavy hand on, you know, any corporation.
And I do also have, one of the things that does give me hope
is some of the cabinet picks that the president has
picked, you know, like Bobby Kennedy Jr. I think that, you know, he's very well informed, you know,
with many, you know, when it comes to many of the organizations that you just brought up and some of
the overhauling that they need. And so it's going to be an interesting couple of years just to see,
be an interesting couple of years just to see if we can reform some of these major institutions that have kind of gone off the rail and become pretty corrupted. And so I'm interested to
see what happens. I'm not going to hold my breath because I know how this town works and how this town,
we call it the swamp or the establishment or the unit party.
Its main job is to protect the establishment and to block and stop and destroy anything
that tries to get in its way.
I've been on the receiving end of that and I know many others who have tried to come up here
and change this town have as well.
And so, like I said, I'm not gonna hold my breath,
but I do see some of the cabinet picks and leadership picks
that the incoming president has made.
There are absolutely reformers and people who understand
where the bodies are buried, how the corrupt system works, and have pledged a willingness to reform many of the organizations.
And so I'm going to do everything I can to you know carry out that agenda and hopefully
accomplish some of the reform that I think would make the lives of the American people better and
and safer And when you say the swamp you're referring to the fact that you were elected into office and yet
People who weren't elected into office have all the information about what's going on with the drones in Jersey and they're not sharing it.
That's the swamp, right?
Is that the definition of the swamp?
Well, it's part of it, right?
That's part of it, right?
You got these bureaucracies up here
and Congress in many ways has ceded a lot of its authority
to a lot of these bureaucracies up here
that aren't elected officials. That's
part of it. But another part of the swamp or the establishment that we call it is also,
you've got a ton of lobbying groups up here, a bunch of special interest groups up here.
They don't really care about, I shouldn't say they don't care, but their priority isn't whether or not the US dollar
is destroyed because we continue to print so much money that we don't even have.
Some of them on the defense side, they're not really as interested in whether or not
we start another world war and Americans have to send their treasure and their kids to another foreign battlefield that lasts another 20 years.
And then they come back after a couple decades and 20 of them a day are committing suicide because of the effects of going to war for that long. But those aren't
their priorities, right? Their priorities are making money. Their priorities are influence,
right? And so the swamp is a lot of things. It's also Republicans and Democrats constantly
working together any time, right? There's going to be a, I talked about a big spending bill
up here in Washington DC
before we all go home for Christmas, right?
It's gonna be like a 1500 page bill.
It's gonna fund a lot of the government
and you're gonna see Democrats and Republicans lock arms.
They're gonna get some of their priorities.
We're gonna get some of their priorities.
There will be no cuts to spending.
We're not gonna quit spending your money that we don't have.
But it's going to be, they're going to come together to make a deal to get enough of their
priorities across the finish line so that the government doesn't shut down and they
can go home and tell their constituents, hey, I got this for you.
I got that for you.
Without anybody addressing the elephant in the room. And that's
the fact that you know, we have a massive spending problem. It's
so out of control. We're $36 trillion in debt. And that's one
of the biggest if not the biggest driver of the inflation
that the people that are watching this podcast right now
see when they go to the grocery store, or the gas pump, right? That's why your dollar doesn't go as far anymore…
… because we keep printing more money that we don't have, and your dollar gets weaker and weaker. the from the up you had on during Trump's campaign. By the way, this is really cool,
by the way, that he's that he believes in you and he's brought you in close. Basically,
what I see is, is I see a leader in Trump who's giving hope to those people who want
to keep it real and who want to tell the truth. And then there's that kind of that swamp in
the middle. I hope I'm seeing that picture, right? Obviously, he's not afraid of you and your realness. But I'm going to play you this clip. And then I want to
ask you a question about this. I'm pretty sure you'll be able to hear this. Here we go.
You guys, because it's not enough to just elect fighters. I think one of the reasons we're in this spot as a country is because we've allowed God to be pushed out of everything.
This is 2 Chronicles 7 14 and it says, if my people who are called by my name will humble
themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear them
from heaven.
I will forgive their sin and I will heal their land. God let... So I've gone through
some sort of intellectual development in the last you know ten years. I am NOT a
believer. I have not been approached by to be saved by Jesus. I have not been
approached to be saved. I'm not a Christian but I cannot think of a
greater group of people that I would rather lock arms with I want my neighbors to be good Christians
I find incredible value in the
In the in in Christians all around me right what they believe in their values their morals. They're perfectly aligned with mine
I'm like wow, you know, so, you know when you're a kid you spend your whole, you know
20 years trying to tell everyone God's not real God's not real and then something happened me. I'm like, whoa
Why am I doing that?
These are good people with good values and good morals that I want my sons to marry.
Right.
Yeah.
Is there any way in that?
That's the thing.
It's not like people are there's there's Christians and then there's this other
group of people and this other group of people like hates Christians.
Like when you invoke God, they hate you.
Is there any way we could get them to make the intellectual journey that I made where it's you invoke God, they hate you. Is there any way
we could get them to make the intellectual journey that I made where it's like, yo, yo,
dude, stop spending your time trying to prove to them that their God's not real. Maybe they
know something we don't know, but they have immense value to society because of their
morals and their values.
Now, it's interesting that you bring that up. I think this podcast took a pretty cool turn and I'm glad you brought that up.
I talk pretty freely and openly about my faith because I want to be transparent, but at the
same time, I want the big things in life to be the big things.
It's the main reason, honestly,
I got into this whole thing.
I felt like this is where God called me to be.
I don't remember if you remember this
from the first time I was on your show,
but I have two daughters.
I have a 17-year-old daughter and a 13-year-old daughter.
So this is not a good time for me to be spending three weeks of my life every month in Washington DC while they're growing up. But I'm here because
I felt like God called me to be here. And it's interesting because in that clip, I do find it interesting that this country has a Judeo-Christian founding.
You can see it everywhere.
If you've ever read the Bible, you understand the text, you understand even many of our
laws in our judicial system.
If you go in and you look at a lot a lot of the you know a lot of the
biblical law it's why a lot of people say we have a Judeo-Christian founding
because so much of our country is based on you know the Judeo faith Judaism and
also the Christian faith but you know it's it's interesting because I do
believe that's a big reason why this country is in such bad shape
because we have allowed God to be pushed out of everything
and we could go through that.
You know, we could go through that
and we could talk about that.
That could be a podcast of its own,
but regardless of what you believe
or anybody on your show believes,
I love the fact that we live in a country
where you can believe whatever you want.
And I foster your right to believe or say anything you want.
That's what real freedom is.
But I am gonna tell you what I think is the truth,
knowing that it's not popular to talk,
it's not popular to talk about your faith.
That's honestly in this day and age of cancel culture,
it's one of the quickest ways for you to get canceled, is for you to talk about your faith. That's honestly in this day and age of cancel culture, it's one of the quickest ways for you to get canceled is for you to talk about your faith, especially in a culture
that you brought up often really hates Christianity. It hates faith. And I'm just honored to be
up here. Sometimes I don't even know why God has me here, Severn, but I'm honored to be up here. Sometimes I don't even know why God has me here, Sederam.
But I'm honored to be here, man, and I'm gonna keep telling people about, you know,
what I think is real and what I think is true, and I know that that's gonna come with a lot of criticism.
In some cases, it's gonna come with some hatred.
But that's something that, you know that Jesus himself in the Bible said.
He said, they will hate you because they hated me first.
And what happened to Jesus?
He was killed, he was crucified for the things that he said and for what he believed.
And so as a follower of Jesus, I understand that I will be hated because of my faith, and especially
because I'm bold and I talk about it openly.
It's not something that I honestly like.
I love people.
I love people that I don't even agree with. You know, but so it's it's it's not it's not always easy for me. You know,
the personal side of me to talk about things that I know will cause criticism or, you know,
fractures. But it's defensiveness. It's like, hey, it's defensiveness. It's so immature
intellectually, right? Like if one of if one of your core elements is to treat other people's how you would like to be treated, great.
Who can argue with that? But the second you ascribe it to the Bible, people get crazy defensive.
And I just wish that so many people could make that intellectual hurdle.
Like, hey, dude, it doesn't infringe on you. It's actually a huge benefit to you. This whole thing where they say God gives you free
will. That's why these guys are going to fight war so that you can maintain your free will.
You can say what you want.
No, you know, absolutely, man. And I just appreciate, you know, you having a show, you
know, where you'll actually bring stuff up and talk about that.
And I think that's what I think, honestly, I think it's one of the reasons that you see
alternative media platforms like yours, you know, guys like Joe Rogan, my friend, Sean
Ryan, you know, I think that's why they're exploding because I think people have seen
the mainstream media stifle free speech for
so long and free expression so long that people are hungry for it. I think there's
a part of each and every one of us that just you know craves you know you know
freedom and free expression, free speech, free ideas and they're not able to get
that as much on the mainstream media anymore, whether it's
in the news or even programming.
Like, there's this agenda, and if you don't fit within that agenda, you're either blocked
out or you're canceled.
You hear people coming out of Hollywood talk about that all the time.
There's a lot of people that, for instance, were supportive of President Trump, that couldn't openly be
supportive of President Trump, or they were afraid that they'd lose their job or their
career.
I never thought, I'm only 44 years old, you know, if you promoted conservative values,
or if you, you know, if you spoke freely and openly about your faith, that, you know, you
might lose your career.
I mean, it's just wild to me.
Some of the things that are going on, it's one of the reasons why I feel like, you know,
I was drawn to this spot and called to this spot, you
know, to try and, you know, fight for some of these things that I believe in so dearly.
I had a friend visit me from North Carolina and on the flight here, he made the commitment
to wear a MAGA hat, the Trump hat the entire way through the airport, right?
And he said it was all people looking and then people
coming up and whispering to him, I wish I had the balls to do that. And he got here and he made it
and he got on the podcast and he made a joke, joke, hey, I totally know what it's like to be
gay or something like that. I said, what do you mean? He said, wearing a Trump hat across the
country is like coming out. Yeah. He's like, and you know, I know it's all between my ears and I know it's personal accountability
and responsibility, but there is this, there is this thought that if you wore a Trump hat
in California where I'm residing, that someone might fight you.
Someone might hit you.
Someone might punch you.
Someone might talk shit to your kids.
Someone might key your car.
It is a, it is a, It is a crazy time. And then those of us, it's also interesting
that those of us when Trump won, there's a huge group of us who feel relieved, right?
Like we feel free. So like my YouTube station was suspended for a week because I said during
COVID that exercise and good nutrition is the greatest way to hedge against all sicknesses.
And that was against WHO guidelines. And I got reported for it and they took my station down for a week and so to I feel like I
feel like everyone would agree with me on both sides but they haven't pushed up
against it do you know who Anna Kasparian is from the Young Turks that
reporter I don't I've heard of the Young Turks but I don't know who that
reporters crazy liberal socialist communist propaganda arm.
The lady on that show was in Los Angeles.
She went to go, she was walking her dog,
her dog dropped a deuce.
She bent over to pick the dog's deuce up
and a homeless guy came up behind her
and started dry humping her.
Instantaneously, she became a conservative overnight.
Yeah.
And I'm just like, yeah, guys.
Like, but it's almost like they won't wake up
unless it, you know what I mean?
It's-
Unless it hits close to home, yeah.
Yes, my friends who live in Berkeley,
who kids are in the Berkeley Unified School District,
they won't speak up until all of a sudden they call me
and they're like, oh my God, you're right.
I'm like, what?
They're like, my kid's 11 years old.
And today they talk to him about what his gender identity is.
Like, dude.
Yeah.
No, I think a lot of people, you know, and, uh, there's, there's a, there's a pretty
popular, you know, uh, radio host, uh, Dan Bongino, he talks about it all the time.
He talks about, you know, being a cop in New York City
before he became a part of the Secret Service.
And he watched New York City go from one of the most violent cities in the world
to a pretty safe place under the direction of some new leadership.
But he recounts watching that situation just spiral down and,
you know, and he talks about it even, you know,
in comparisons today, you know, and he'll say,
I guess it just hasn't got that bad yet.
I guess it just hasn't got that bad yet.
Many of us are waiting for the American people to wake up
and, you know, recognize that some of the, you know,
policies, you know, and talking points that sound so good
coming out of people's mouths and on paper, where they actually lead to in history and in reality.
And it's interesting to see, I think in many ways, it got to a point in this country, you know, whether you were talking about
You know
You know illegal immigration
Being out of control in this country
Censorship, you know, whatever the issue was for you, you know, it got so bad for enough people that enough people finally said yeah
That's enough.
We we want a course correction here.
In the course correction, do you agree that it's not to fix what's there,
it's to dismantle what's there?
I know I don't know if you hang out with a lot of liberals, but I live in California
and I'll say stuff like, hey, we need to completely eliminate
the Department of Education and they roll their eyes and they panic.
And I understand that panic because I used to be that guy too but it's like yo just
go just go online and look and do five minutes of research and see the
Department of Education was formed in 1979 and test scores were at a peak then
and went straight down after it was formed there's nothing to worry about
nothing's gonna get worse than it already is.
Right, because they hear you say that and they think immediately that, oh, that's because you don't care about education, right?
Yeah, exactly. The exact opposite.
Education has to come from some department in Washington,. And the sad thing is, is that if you were to get rid
of that department and I fully support that,
those dollars then would go to the states
and they would have more local parental control
over how they were spent.
And I think it would have the effect that you were,
the opposite effect of what you were just talking about.
I think that you would start to see test scores start to go back up. I think that you would start to see a lot of these, you know, woke ideologies taken out of education and hey, if you want to teach your kids those you want. Right. I wouldn't recommend it, but I support you, you know, the freedom that you have
in that, I just don't want it to become, you know, national curriculum.
I want our curriculum to be focused on what education should be focused on math,
science, history, you know, chemistry, all of those things, so that our kids can go
out and compete in what's become a global market, you know, where they're competing against kids coming from countries
that don't have all these distractions
that they have to deal with.
They're focused solely on these core curriculum,
education subjects that are going to propel them
and help them in this, compete in a global workforce.
And that's what I wanna see us get back to.
And I know from being up here, you know,
how often the good idea fairy flies around up here.
And, you know, if you have the right influence,
you've been up here, you know, an appropriate amount of time.
If you've kissed the ring enough
that you can get your little, you know, your little line item and, you know, an appropriate amount of time. If you've kissed the ring enough that you can get your little line item and an appropriations bill, and then it becomes law, and then every kid in the country has to adhere to it.
And so, yeah, I'd love to see that department go away. I'd love to see several of them go away. For those people listening, I'd like to let you know all you have to do is spend 10 minutes looking at what the United States Department of Education does.
And all they – they have no rule or authority over the states and what the states can teach.
But what they do is they have this huge war chest of money, and then lobbyists control the money.
And so any lobbyist who wants to force things on the state can tell the Department of Education, hey give California a billion dollars of this 86 billion dollars
budget if they put in their curriculum that you can be any gender you want. And
so all they're doing is manipulating, it's basically mind control from the
federal government interfering with the state's education. It's wild,
it's basically just an open door for lobbyists to get their agenda put through.
It's really, it doesn't take long to see that. Just 10 minutes of research on the internet. How they're spending their money.
Eli has taught me a ton from watching his Sean Ryan episode. Yeah, great episode.
How are you on time?
How are we on time?
I know I'm way over my time.
Yeah, I can probably do like 10 or 15 more minutes.
Okay, and if you need to go, just let me know.
No problem.
Okay.
Eli, just had an incident here in Madison, Wisconsin.
What is the solution for this?
She's talking yesterday there was a school shooting in Madison.
I have not looked into that at all.
Yeah, I haven't looked into the specifics. You know, I have looked into, you know, the school
shooting issue, you know, for for quite some time. And so, you know, I can talk about my thoughts on how to prevent school shootings.
It's interesting because a lot of schools
are really soft targets, what we would call soft targets,
individuals coming from my former line of work.
And that basically means they're extremely vulnerable right a lot of
schools don't even have um you know security a lot of schools don't even have a retired police
officer i remember i got out of the the navy in 2014 i moved i moved my family to arizona and i to Arizona and I remember, you know, we put our kids in a school and I was walking around
kind of doing the same thing that I talked to you about earlier on in the podcast, you
know, and you put yourself in that mindset. If I was going to come into the school and
do as much harm as possible, how would I do it? What would stop me?
And I came to the quick assessment that this was a very soft target,
and that if anybody had the inclination to come into that, my kids' school,
with a weapon, they could do a ton of damage and carnage
before anybody that could stop them got there.
And so I went and I talked to the principal about it.
Actually the headmaster at the time, I talked to him about it.
And I even started going around talking to other parents once I found out one
of the issues was funding for an off duty police officer or
a full time security officer.
And so I started talking to parents,
hey, started telling them about my concern,
told them about my experience
and why these kids were in danger.
And many of the parents and myself,
we would have, I think, easily been able
to come up with the money to cover the salary of said, you know, security officer. And within
six months, the school had, you know, handled the situation and had a full-time security,
you know, officer there at the school. And that's not, the thing that people,
whether you're talking about a border or a school,
security has always been and always will be
overlapping deterrence.
It's not one thing, right?
It's never one thing.
Whether you're at a military base in Fallujah, Iraq,
or whether you're at a kid's school,
it's always overlapping deterrents.
One of the things that you need obviously is a wall, right?
So you can kind of stop what comes into your building, right?
Have a filter, have a filter.
Hey, here's your new entry.
It's so common in a lot of people,
especially when it comes to the border, say that walls don't work, but they actually they're one piece of a security solution.
Right. And then you you need a you need a security guard. You need surveillance equipment. Right. You if they actually let the local law enforcement,
you know, run drills at their school.
So if they ever have to show up to your school,
they know exactly, you know, the layout of the school.
They know where any, you know, life-saving equipment is.
They know how to get, you know, get into the rooms.
They know where any surveillance equipment within the school might be.
Another thing that you know.
You know schools.
I recommend that schools do is you know
if they can find the budget for it,
they can send a couple of their their
teachers you know to some of these.
You know. Medical training. to some of these medical trainings that are offered by all sorts of private contractors,
many of them former military and law enforcement guys.
They used to put us through all sorts of medical and trauma related trainings, you know, where we would go and learn how to,
you know, take care of, take care of wounds on the battlefield. And you can get these types of
trainings. Your teachers can get these types of trainings from private contractors. And, you know,
the sad thing is, and you've seen it time and time again with some of these mass shootings,
a lot of times if you don't have aggressive, well-trained law enforcement on the outside,
sometimes they'll just stop in the parking lot and get analysis paralysis instead of
going in, handling the threat, and then start addressing some of the wounds that some of
these kids or faculty have.
So, if you have teachers and equipment right there
in the school that can administer some of this first aid,
life-saving training and equipment,
you can definitely save lives if and when that ever happens.
And the sad thing is, as I've looked at this issue
over and over again, most of these administrators, God bless them, they know nothing about security, right?
That's not what they were trained in.
And so even though they see this stuff on the news all the time, instead of thinking,
wow, I need to do something about that, their real thought is, God, I hope that never happens here.
And that's really not a plan.
And one of the last things that I'll say
when it comes to school shootings,
and you can go find these articles out there.
I saw, I was on a school shooting task force
years and years ago when this stuff was really rampant
around the United States.
And one of the things that we looked into was,
I think it was 40 out of the last 42,
and this was several years ago. So this, you'd have to go see what the data or math is now, but
I think it was 40 out of the last 42 mass shooters were fatherless.
And that's something that people don't want to talk about.
But it is kind of a smoking gun when you look at analytics, right?
And you've got to ask yourself, okay, what's the correlation there?
Why?
I have my own thoughts on it, but
I think that a lot of it is a breakdown of the family.
And so yeah, I think that that's something that,
obviously that's not gonna be something that a government solves. But I think that's something that, you know, we should look at within our own
culture within our own families is trying to make sure that our kids grow up, you know,
with enough love, affection, discipline and yeah, mentorship that they're less likely
to, you know, do something like that.
During COVID, I hang out with almost exclusively people who work out, right?
Crossfitters. Greg Glassman built the company, 162 countries, all seven continents, including Antarctica.
During COVID, I found one Crossfitter who died from COVID, just one. And it was a fat guy in Europe. And when the pharma complex and the citizens of this country
wanted a solution for the symptom, but not the cause.
And the cause is, is that people are fat and overweight.
It just is that way.
People aren't gonna like that.
The same thing with homelessness.
I was homeless for five years.
There's not a homeless problem in the United States. That is a complete misnomer. That is the
symptom of drug addicts. Of the thousand homeless guys I knew over five years, me and one other guy
were the only two that didn't have a drug addiction. They're drug addicts and they're
criminals. Their vocation is to steal bikes during the day, sell them, and buy drugs. That's just the
way it is. I know someone's going to be like, well, I know a homeless family. Fine. I'm talking about my experience, real experience in California.
This thing that you're talking about, about the security that concerns me is you're putting
security in the schools, but it's not address, and I do think that there should be, don't get
me wrong, but it's addressing the symptom and not the cause. And then you finally did go back and
address the cause. The problem is, is we don't have a society set up to where there's a mom at home
Taking care of the kids and there's not a dad there who's like
Keeping the kid drawing strict boundaries for the kids. I completely agree
It's not gonna go away until we address the issue people are gonna keep dying every year if they're obese from
Comorbidities and
flus and things that don't kill people who don't eat like shit. So I just wanted to throw
that out there. Ian Arswald, it's really easy for us to focus on doom and gloom. What's
been the most positive aspect you've seen since joining the House of Representatives? representatives. Oh boy. This is yeah this is in a this isn't a real joyful
place for me but um you're a get shit done kind of guy and this is not a get
shit done kind of place. Navy SEALs get shit done right? You guys are given an
objective and you execute. This is not that this is not like that. This is quick
sand for you. Yeah you know I mean know, there's a lot of people up here that I like a lot.
You know, I do think that I do think that this political victory in November should
give you some peace and some joy. I think that you will see the quality of your life
change quite a bit in the next four years. I do think you'll see changes
even geopolitically around the world that will be positive. So I think that that should give you some joy.
Like Trudeau, I saw yesterday something come in. I haven't researched it yet, but I saw all these
notifications coming in that Trudeau
is leaving.
Did you see that last night?
Are you talking about the governor of Canada?
Yeah, the prime minister of Canada over there.
Yeah, he's got serious problems now.
The Trump thing, Trump's 25% tariff thing has rattled the country.
Yeah, you know, and that's one thing I love about this president. You know, he's
a businessman. He understands leverage, right? A lot of the American people, we've had it
so good here for so long, they don't even, they really don't even understand, you know,
what what's the deal with, you know, President Trump and his tariffs or his taxes, a lot
of these other countries, you know, they, they'll put a tariff on our products
coming into their country or a tax, but then they don't want us to tax their products coming
into our country.
And we lose a lot of money that way.
And it's a really good way to protect your exporters as well.
And so that's one thing I love about President Trump is he's not afraid to
actually use leverage. And when he does it, whether it's with Mexico or Canada, you see things
happen immediately because that's one way to get a politician to change their tune immediately is
impact them economically or politically. And so I love that President Trump uses his leverage.
I think it's gonna be one of the many reasons
that our economy is gonna start to boom again
is just because he understands how to use that leverage.
And there's a lot of people up here that say,
they talk about, well, we want free trade,
free trade, free trade,
free trade. And I think free trade is a good thing. But President Trump also adds on top
of that fair trade, right? You're not going to tax, you know, our manufacturers who export
products to your country and then not expect that reciprocity, you know, when it comes to your manufacturers exporting stuff over here.
So if you want to keep the playing field even and no tax, no tariff, this administration
I think is fine with that.
But if you want to put a heavy tax on bicycles or cars or whatever it is that we're sending
over to your country,
then we'll reciprocate over here.
Bernie Gannon, Eli, if you had a magic wand,
what two or three reforms would you implement to make government work better and be less corrupt?
Term limits, corruption monitor?
Yeah, I think term limits would probably be at the top of the list.
I think, let's see, this is one thing that we fought for last year in the pretty historic
speaker battle that took place with Kevin McCarthy.
It was single subject germane bills.
And what that means is like if you're running a bill on, you know, if you're running a bill
on, you know, the Department of Defense, you know, you know, appropriation, you can't throw,
you know, you can't, you can't throw or let me say it this way, right now we're voting
on a CR that funds the government.
And they're throwing in a bunch of other stuff. They're throwing in a
hundred, I think a hundred billion dollar supplemental disaster relief package into that.
They're throwing in a bunch of other stuff for the, you know, the ag community into that. And this is,
this is how things work up in DC. If you had single subject germane bills, then it would make it so much
harder for politicians to vote on these swampy thousand page bills, and it
would make it harder for them to come back and gaslight you on what they
actually stand for. And so single subject, your main bills, germane,
meaning, you know, everything in the text of that bill has to pertain to
the actual title. Um, right? And we have so much
of that going on up here where you'll have a title of a bill and then you'll have text
that has notes and entries in it that have nothing to do with the title of that bill.
So I would probably say term limits I think would help a lot. You know, single subject germane bills.
– Will that pass, that single subject germane bills? Because if I'm understanding correctly, basically it will be a bill about gun control, but there will be something in there about money for going to the local animal shelter.
And if you vote against it, there will be – someone will be like, Eli Crain is against humane treatment of animals. You're like, what? Yeah, that's exactly that's one of the biggest ways they get you, right?
They'll they'll put a bunch of pork in special interest stuff in a bill.
But the title of the bill is, let's say, you know, protecting kittens or something that
American people, the American people align with or have their hearts, you know, strings pulled over.
And then if you vote against the pork in that bill or some of the line items
or some of the language in that bill, because it's corrupt or just bad policy,
you know, they'll, they'll be able to run the commercial against you saying that
Eli, you know, doesn't care about baby kittens, you know, and that's, that's one
way that this swamp keeps its people in line.
When you were on Sean Ryan, I was tripping on the fact that things get stuck in committee
and that Schumer has the decision over what the Senate votes on.
That's unbelievable to me.
That's so hard for me to process.
The fact that something can make it through the House, get to the Senate, and then that
one man can stop it from being voted on?
Yeah, of course.
It's one of the reasons that the American people have to start paying attention and
get loud on things that they care about.
In ways, you could make the counterargument, it's good to have checks and balances, right?
And I think that's the way our founders set up this government to where it was almost
designed to create what's the good word here, not friction, but it's actually, in many ways,
it's tough to get things done because of the checks
and balances up here. And in some ways I think that the corruption is so bad up in Washington,
D.C. and the arrogance is so bad up here that oftentimes the gridlock, that's a better word
for it, is a good thing in stopping some of the nonsense from coming out of here and going as quickly as
it could had there not been a system designed to create gridlock.
But to your point, yeah, it is frustrating to watch something go through the House of
Representatives like HR2.
It was a very comprehensive border security bill, one of the most comprehensive border security
bills that ever came through Washington DC. Chuck Schumer just sat on it knowing that innocent people
all over the country were being raped and murdered by Venezuelan gang members that weren't even
supposed to be here. The amount of individuals on the terror watch list had grown from 20 total the entire time that Trump was in office to well over 300 while Biden was in
office. And just a bunch of, that's one example of how Chuck Schumer in the Senate could block
legislation that passed the House. Eli, let me get one more question.
Okay.
So Trump went on Joe Rogan, and it was a three-hour conversation.
And to have a three-hour conversation with someone, it's hard to play politics, right?
Yeah. So, and by politics, I mean this.
On the Supreme Court, you have a woman named Katanji Brown Jackson.
And when they asked her what is a woman, she's not comfortable giving an answer.
Like whether it be she could have said, you know, it's someone with these chromosomes
or someone with a vagina, or she could have said, you're a fucking idiot.
You know what a woman is.
She could have given any honest answer,
but instead she starts searching for the right answer. Yeah. Right.
So when I'm talking to you, I can tell you're not searching for the right
answer. You're just talking to me. We're having a conversation, right? Yeah.
Or could we see a shift in politics to where it's okay to have a conversation
Could we see a shift in politics to where it's okay to have a conversation and give the real answer as opposed to?
Because before you could I before I could understand 20 years ago If you said something wrong on the evening news it could take forever for the new that could be the end of your career
But now we see people like Jay Bhattacharya who was canceled four years ago at Stanford
And now he's headed that you's gonna be head of the NIH.
Because of information, he's been vindicated, right?
Everything he said was true.
I think it's very possible that you could see a shift,
and I hope that you do,
because that's how this place works, right?
I mean, most politicians,
their idea of communicating with the American people
is going on Fox, going on, you know, Fox
News or CNN, or one of the mainstream outlets, you know, they'll get talking points from
their comms guy, you know, right before they do the hit. And, you know, they'll just regurgitate
whatever the talking points are. But if you if you actually do long form podcasts like
this, to your point, you're not just talking about the
talking points, the approved narrative, right? You're actually, you know, going off
the cuff, speaking from the heart, and there is a risk to it, right? Because
there will be people this cycle that are paid to watch this very interview, find a
talking point of something that I said, whether it's taken out of context
or manipulated so that they can use it to run a commercial with, making me seem like
a demon.
Right?
And that's just how this place works and politicians know it and they're scared of it.
But that being said, when the mainstream media, the ratings are plummeting and guys that you
just brought up like Sean
Ryan or Joe Rogan, that's what people are tuning into because as we talked about, they
crave free speech.
They crave that unvarnished exchange of ideas, and they want transparency.
I think that that's where the future is, and I think that's where those are where your thought leaders and people that lead in the future, I think, are going to continue to go to just because that's where the people are going to be.
And as a representative, you have to be able to communicate with them where they're at. Okay, my big takeaway is, and I heard you say it in Sean Ryan and you got it out here,
as people we need to keep using our voices.
What's the best way to use our voices if we see something?
Is there a website we go to and just start banging on our congressman or our senator?
I'm glad you asked.
There's actually, and I'm sure your audience is pretty tech savvy, but there's an app called bill blaster
bi ll blaster bl
Aster okay. Yeah, it was created by a gal named grace chong and
If you if you download this app on your phone because normally if you want to contract your congressman
You have to go through the congressional switchboard. But this app will give you a direct number to that your member of
congress or your senator's office and it also gives you their social media platforms. So if you
see something coming up like this CR that we're about this monstrosity we're about to vote on this
week and you say hey congressman crane I don't want you voting for that. You can go to Bill Blaster. You can get my office number. You can find my social media
is there and you can blow me up. And that's something, you know, that you, we can use
against politicians, you know, especially whose main priority is to get reelected. You
know, you can use that. You can use that against them and you can blow them up and let them
know you're not happy with what they're about to do.
Alright. Hey, if by any chance you see Gavin Newsom in DC, please tell him I think he's a douche.
Thank you so much for coming on, dude. You are a great man. You give me hope. You're awesome.
Thank you, brother. Appreciate it.
Alright, and tell Zach I said, it's been a pleasure working with him. Thank you brother. Appreciate it. All right.
Until Zach I said, you pleasure working with them.
Thank you, sir.
Cheers.
Eli Crane.
Dang.
Gave us an hour and 10 minutes.
Very cool.
All right.
What is it?
What Bill Blaster? How do we not know about that? How do I not know about that? Bill Blaster? Bill Blaster. I listened to his podcast he did with Sean Ryan yesterday. And he put a lot of emphasis on that he basically, and I want to say that Sean Ryan was able to actually influence with his audience was able to actually get some influence
uh
In some law or bill that was passed or wasn't passed. I wasn't able to follow it
But but but they kept they kept referencing this cohort of 340 000 people 345 000 people that put their weight behind something
Uh, the man with a flying penis says not bad.
7.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Don't give me too many compliments.
It makes me think that you thought I was going to do a shitty job.
What impresses you about Eli Crane?
Man, helmet safety first, rightinda helmet the fact that he can talk
how about just starting there just the fact that he can talk that it doesn't
it doesn't seem rehearsed yeah that it doesn't seem rehearsed.
It's wild.
When you speak to him, you don't feel like you're in a box.
You're not in a box.
Where it's like, okay, you don't feel, you know, when you talk to someone and you feel
the boundaries of what they can and can't talk about.
If you live in California, you'd feel that all the time. talk to someone and you feel the boundaries of what they can and can't talk about. If
you live in California, you'd feel that all the time. You're not going to get an eye roll
from the guy. You have to remember, I live in a spot where you're like, hey, why are
you giving yourself your six month old an injection for a venereal disease that there's
no chance your kid could have unless the mother was a intravenous drug user.
Why are you changing the kid's immune system right at six months old or right at birth? They do it right at birth when the baby comes out.
Where I live they'll roll their eyes. Oh, you're an anti-vaxxer. It's like
and
it's just a breath of fresh air to be able to speak to someone who's in a place
of influence that doesn't do that.
He wasn't dodging the, I don't think he was dodging the school shooting question.
I don't think he's on top of, there's not every subject he can be on top of.
Just think of how much, how much information is coming at him.

He gave a ex seal turn Colombian drug board drug lord vibes
Is that what you're saying he's got great hair
oh he's just I pulled up the the Supreme Court justices during the show man
Katanji Brown Jackson what a mess I don't know if you guys have seen this.
This just popped up last night as I was going to bed.
Are you guys following what's going on in Canada?
It looks like Justin Trudeau is done.
Canadian political crisis ruling party MPs demand PM Trudeau's resignation.
I guess his right-hand man,
his right-hand woman announced Monday she was quitting the cabinet. That's his
fifth cabinet member that's dropped out. Justice Trudeau faced renewed calls for
a quick departure after finance minister Chris- what the hell's her name?
Christia? Ms. Freeland announced on Monday that she was quitting the cabinet
over differences with the Prime Minister.
And then as you dig down further, the differences are regarding how to deal with Trump and Trump's talk of 25% tariffs on Canada.
The number of rebel MPs who have sought his ouster have grown to nearly 60 of the 153 strong caucus in the House of Commons
Man good luck, Canada
Good luck you guys are gonna need it
I'd love to hear about those differences.
She's been a loyal globalist stooge from the get-go.
Yeah.
Clock, how do you know so much?
Do you live in Canada?
You just collect a government check and sit around and read all day?
Janelle Winston, she laughed at freezing people's bank accounts.
All right
So there's that I
Wonder if I should start starting if I should start starting the show at 6 a.m. Instead of 7 7 a.m. Every morning
What do you guys think?
Might help people on the East Coast.
Holy shit.
This weekend, Saturday morning, Kil Taylor will be $3,000.
I'm pretty pumped about that.
Thank you, Paper Street Coffee.
Boy, Christmas is rolling around. I got my list of questions from you guys yesterday about Dave.
That should be good.
All my notes are gone.
How can that be?
How can that be?
I must have accidentally erased them all.
All right, maybe the show's over.
It's all gone.
Let me see who's on the calendar for the rest of the week here.
Tomorrow Greg Glassman will be on 7 a.m. Pacific Standard Time.
I spoke to him yesterday.
I still got to get Colton Merton's on.
Oh, check this out.
Friday.
Friday morning, Bob Forrest and Taylor Self will be coming on.
Taylor took the DNA for addiction test to see what is his likelyness, if his genetics
may be predisposed to addiction.
So Taylor will be on with Bob Forrest.
I don't know if you guys remember Bob Forrest has been on the show before.
He had that addiction show with Dr. Drew for several years and they'll be coming on and he'll be analyzing Taylor's
results and he has Andrew Hiller's results too so after we do Taylor we'll have Andrew Hiller on.
I don't have a date for when Mr. Castro is coming on. It should be sooner than later.
I think it's my fault.
I think I need to contact Jenna Hawk over there at CrossFit.
She's the chief marketing officer and just have a little chat with her first.
Oh, she's been great. God, what a
relief it is when you get someone that you can actually talk to. Like another
another person you can have real conversations with. So that's that's been
pleasant for me. All right. Talk about Wooly and Dense Beef. I don't I don't
honestly I don't know anything about I don't know anything about it.
I did see, I did yesterday watch John Wooly's piece on Greg Glassman on the Constantly Vary
channel.
It's the best thing I've seen that he's put out so far.
I thought it was very, I mean he played it safe.
Obviously the New York Times is a complete shit rag.
There's no depth to the article.
There's no takeaway.
I agree with everything Woolley said. I wish Woolley would have been harsher, but I guess it's not his style.
It's embarrassing what's happened over there. It's just a complete rehashing. Just imagine this.
Greg Glassman has surrounded himself with the sharpest minds in the world for the last two years in order to build a curriculum. My words, not Greg's, that explains and shows people how the acquisition of knowledge occurs in the mind and then how to do it without being duped and
It's a it's a major fucking undertaking it's it's like
the philosophy of knowledge and then to share it with people at a
fourth grade level so you can't be duped by
mainstream media and
Superficial reporting and yet there's no there's no mention of that in the article and You can't be duped by mainstream media and superficial reporting.
And yet there's no mention of that in the article.
How many times has Greg said on this show that he's tired of teaching the push press?
He's not going back to that. Sevan, did you see Skoda's Justice Katanji Brown appeared on Broadway a few days ago
in an LGBTQ etc. theme Romeo and Juliet production?
Cringe.
Are you kidding me?
Like she appeared on stage?
It's wild. It's wild.
It's wild.
Let me look that up.
Yeah, Katonji Brown makes theater lover makes her Broadway debut.
My goodness. I say this with peace and love. She's dumber than a box of rocks.
Imagine how, so imagine the quality of your life.
Imagine the quality of your life if you can't answer the question, what is a woman?
Just imagine. Imagine someone asks you that, and you live in such a confined box of what's okay and not okay to say that you can't answer that question.
At that point, the quality of your life has eroded to just garbage. Garbage.
That is no, that's someone, you don't want someone like that representing you because
then you can see they have no value for freedom.
This is just what popped up on Twitter.
I don't even know what this is.
Is this her?
Man, she is short.
She might be shorter than me.
Female empowerment.
Sick.
Well done. to me. Female empowerment! Woo! Sick!
Welcome to the first day of rehearsal. Thank you.
I'm so excited to be here.
This is gonna dream of mine. I guess.
How would she have time to do that?
You guys who don't remember recently, she made the news a couple weeks ago.
She was comparing, was it gender affirming surgery she was comparing the rights of black people the legality
of them being allowed to be married to white people in the 50s and 60s in comparison to
sterilizing children the right for children to sterilize themselves to to to you know, altered fuck with their hormones
A lot of people will talk about inflammation as being like the key to you know
All sickness is somehow inflammation related. Don't also forget that all health is related to your hormones
hormone balance eating balanced. Eat too much sugar, fuck your hormones up, you go crazy.
You don't want to mess with your hormones. Ever. You want to eat balanced, you want to
you want to you want to eat in a way that keeps you hormonally.
hormonally. Pat Lang, Supreme Court justices get more time off than any other government workers.
Sevan, do you know anything about the school shooting yesterday in Madison,
Wisconsin? My wife is a teacher in a Christian school two hours from there. I
don't know anything. I don't know anything. I didn't look at it closely. There was someone in the comments
who was subtly coming at Eli suggesting that schools do have security. So while I was on the
air with him, I was quickly trying to Google around to see if that particular school had security.
I personally don't like the idea of schools having security. I
probably live in some sort of fantasy land. I like a world where you know moms
and dads are raising their kids. I like a world where more kids are
homeschooled. And when I mean homeschooled, that's a misnomer too. I just
want to live in a world where people actually raise their kids, where they
don't put them behind a chain-link fence eight to you to 10 hours a day.
I want a world where at 10 o'clock in the morning
it's okay to see a mom or a dad at a grocery store shopping with their kids,
I'm letting their kid look at the list,
add up the price, pay for the food,
getting that kind of education.
Yeah all basically all the illnesses will arrive if your hormones are out of whack.
All of them will arrive.
It's the only thing keeping you healthy.
You just need, this thing will make you crazy and kill you yeah Heidi
knows about it yeah women know about it and and the the quickest way to
influence your hormones is just what you put in your in your in your face what
you let past your lips down into the stomach
down into the stomach.
Does anyone know what do you know anything about the shooting? Do you want to say anything about the shooting? Who was that? Where was that comment?
I mean, I could guess i'm going to guess they're going to look into it and it's going to be a wackadoodle.
I mean, obviously, right.
It's going to be some sort of wackadoodle.
Someone who's confused about their sexuality only doesn't have parents or only has one
parent plays video games 13 hours a day.
You know, it's funny the
correlates you could draw right? There's no school shooter who
can run a seven minute mile, right? Yeah, probably trans or
wannabe trans or gay or you know, something like that or
polyamorous or.
Hey, good morning.
Hey, Seve.
Hey, what's up, dude.
Hey, it's this Rosie calling.
Hi Rosie.
Hi.
Hey, I just wanted to comment on the school shooting in Madison. So I know Heidi she's a, her kid, I think she said was a, her kid's
school is like five minutes away from there.
I'm also in Wisconsin.
Not that I have any, like, not that I know a whole lot, but, um, I did
listen to the report, um, from the, um, police officer, the, um, head police
officer in Madison, and he was saying that the shooter was a 15 year old girl.
She, I know there's-
Like really a girl?
Like really a girl?
I mean, apparently as far as we know.
And then she is deceased and so is a teacher
and another student.
And a second grader was the one that called in 911.
Wow.
How did the second grader, you had a cell phone?
They didn't disclose any information on that, but apparently the shooter was in study hall
with a number of others, like different grades of students,
is what it sounded like from the report.
And I'm assuming or generalizing that maybe
the second grader was like in a classroom, not too far away.
I mean, you hear a gunshot, you're like,
you know what that is, you know what I mean?
So. So the student was a student at the school. It was a student at school. shot you're like you don't you know what that is you know what I mean so so the
student was a student at the school it was just it was a student second grade
student no but I mean the shooter the shooter yeah 15 year old girl and she's
dead they released her name I can't remember I can't remember her name I'm
sure Heidi will say it in the comments she apparently there's speculation to
there's photos I. There's photos.
I don't know if her so on her social media, she had posted some really crazy stuff about
she wanted to commit suicide, but instead she wanted to like take out a bunch of people
or something instead of committing suicide, but she ended up committing suicide anyway
by shooting herself.
Oh my goodness.
Yeah, but I mean, like I said, I just,
I just listened to the news report from this, uh, from last,
late last night that they had given, um,
I listened to it this morning and they had finally given a name. I can't,
like I said, I can't remember the girl's name at the top of my head, but she,
she had one name, but then she went by some other name,
like Samantha something, I think.
But yeah, I mean, I'm sure Heidi probably
is commenting on it, but yeah, it's really crazy wild.
I know a couple of parents that I go to the gym with,
their kids had played like sports against that school.
So it's just kind of crazy.
And like I said, Heidi's kid goes to school
like five minutes away.
So I mean, Madison is a pretty big city.
So it's just kind of wild.
Like the school, I think they said the school was like
a size of like 300 some students in total. It's like K through 12
What's crazy is that no one figured that out like if she was a student at the school no one was like hey
This chick's a wackadoodle keep eyes on her. I mean I have to write him that she was she was an open wackadoodle
Right. I mean they're like back in the day like when I was in school
There was a couple kids in school that i'm like, yeah, that's first kid should have to school. Right. But
you never like said anything about it because you're like, okay, this person's a whack job.
They should have that in your book instead of like most likely to see it should be most
likely to shoot up to school. I mean, yeah, there was a kid on my bus that I rode the
bus with and he was like, you totally thought he was a
psychopath. Like he was a nut job, but nobody ever said anything. They just kept to themselves,
you know? But yeah, it's just really, I'm just, it's just really unfortunate and really, really
sad. I mean, I can't even imagine what those families are going through right now.
Okay. Thank you. But yeah, yeah, I just want to just buzz in and give some two cents on it.
But like I said, uh, yeah, hope you all as well.
So on.
Thank you.
You're crushing it, man.
Thank you.
Absolutely voice.
Bye bye.
Uh, Rosie, uh, Pat Lang, Sebi, do you know the ratio of trans to non-trans among mass
shooters since Columbine?
Uh, no, nor do I give a fuck and
that's not relative compared to without also mentioning the ratio of trans to non-trans in
the population. So if you're going to try to say smart shit like that, make sure you add that in
there too because that would be irrelevant. And the fact I'm not suggesting by any means that
the person was trans or not trans, it was more of a being speaking not facetious but maybe
in hyperbole that like yeah you know the person's fucked up I don't I already
told you say bring a little fact I already told you I don't know anything
about it I haven't researched it at all but I will tell you this Pat if you if
you let me make your accusation correct that kid's family life is fucked up
I'm willing to bet my dog's life on it
And
And and I'm willing to bet your dog's life on it that that kid was diddled. How about that? Those two things.
So there, take that.
Someone reached out to me yesterday and said, hey, so you guys know, that was one of the primary
reasons Greg finally took his kids out of private school. They went to a private school in Arizona. And there was a school
shooting one day and he heard it on the radio. He's like, fuck it, I'm pulling my kids out of school.
And my wife used to be worried about that too. Maybe worried is too strong, but it was a thought
in her mind. I had never, I'm completely in the world of that shit would never happen to me.
I live in complete denial.
But someone yesterday reached out to me and they said, holy shit, this makes me want to
think about homeschooling my kids.
Listen, if you can raise your kids and you're not, you are fucking up.
I don't mean like morally or
ethically or Responsibility, I'm not no judgment like that
I'm saying that like the greatest the greatest part of my day is when I get off of here and then spend the rest
Of the day with my kids
So I'm gonna get off with you
They're gonna be finishing up their schooling and then I'm gonna hang out with them all day
I'm gonna play with them all day. I'm going to play with them all day.
Wrestle, play tennis, jiu-jitsu, whatever.
Poker, teach my kid how to edit, go to the butcher.
It's great.
You, you, you, and I'll tell you this too.
I used to think raising your kids was complete wackadoodle shit
Right, just like I thought it was wackadoodle not to inject your kid right at birth with drugs
prescribed by the US government
And now that I've made it to the other side of the fence I'm looking over and I'm like, holy shit
How was I ever over on that side?
How was I ever over on that side
It's just like uh, do you remember
Do you remember being an age when like you would do anything for a box of fruit loops?
And now someone couldn't you wouldn't eat a box of fruit loops unless there was a gun to your head. It's like that
Like there's no fucking way i'm eating those
Are you kidding me? I'll just hang out and not eat today. Here, Pat. Here we go. At least abuse.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. You said what? She's a real girl?
Yeah, listen, buddy. Buddy, Mr. Lang.
The distinguished gentleman from the land of gardening.
Remember the shooter that they had?
That was a pointed joke in reference.
You remember the shooter they had?
I don't remember where it is in the south in Texas or wherever, where the news stories
it was a boy or a girl depending on how politically correct the news wanted to be.
Do you remember that?
Like it was some, I think it was a woman who transitioned to a boy so some people were
reporting it as a boy, but the real honest people were reporting it to as a girl.
It was in reference to that.
And listen, there's no such thing as transgender anyway.
It's like me saying that person is the Sasquatch.
There's no such thing as it.
Just a made up category between your ears.
It's just made up, dude
Completely made up it shouldn't even bother you I'm talking about made-up shit. Let's not argue about made-up shit. I
Haven't argued about who would win in a fight Batman or Superman in I don't know since the fourth grade
You're born with the penis you're a dude you're born with a penis, you're a dude, you're born with a vagina, you're
a girl. That's it. All the other stuff's just made up. It doesn't even matter. Nobody. When
you say we all knew it, it was either a boy or a girl. There's no such thing as
trans. Me and you, we've already taken, we've transcended that in this conversation.
You can't go back now. No, Batman does not have prep time. Get with the programming.
Batman does not have prep time. It's knock on both their doors at three in the
morning. They don't know there's gonna be a fight. They step out and they have to duel.
Does he get prep time? What the fuck question is that?
Listen, think here. Think of trans as a mental thing. Okay, that's a fair question, Pat. You're
saying then why did you ask if she was trans or it was trans? Think of trans as just a state of mind.
Think of trans as a state of mind. Like horny or hungry or upset.
It's just a state of mind. It's not a thing, dude. It's not a thing. We're all adults here. We can distinguish between our thoughts and reality
It's not a thing
Oh fuck one punch and Batman's brain is pudding I agree then that's it no more no more back no
You really want upset get with the programming off He would do the best Superman would do the same thing to Captain America to by the uh, get with the programming off.
He would do the best Superman would do the same thing to Captain America too, by the
way, one punch to the head and his brain is putting that's right.
We need to change.
We need to change the name. It can't be homeschooling anymore.
I cannot believe all my notes are gone. I had so much good stuff for you.
What a day for this to happen. What if I would have brought up about Eli is he is going to the Congressional
Gold Medal.
He's going to try to get the Congressional Gold Medal for Daniel Penny.
I wonder what that involves.
Daniel Penny is the guy who was on the subway in New York City and
There was some guy freaking out threatening to kill people and Daniel penny took him to the ground and then later the guy died
At the hospital remember that and then they tried him for murder some crazy shit
There's something like nine of the eleven people on the train testified that they were thankful of Daniel penny
Once those nine of eleven said hey, we're glad Daniel Penny did that, shouldn't that be the jury
of his peers?
They should have just asked those people.
Fuck getting a jury.
Just get those people who are on the train.
Wow, wouldn't that be a trip?
Yeah, there's a lot of things I hope Trump does.
I hope Trump takes care of Penny, gives him a position, maybe security.
I hope he pardons Derek Chauvin.
At least let him out of jail.
Poor guy got stabbed 22 times while in jail.
So that's cool.
That's something Eli Crane's doing.
Try to get Daniel Penny the Congressional Gold Medal.
I don't know how that works.
I don't know if you have to vote on that.
Does anyone know how that works?
Should I wiki that?
Or can just one guy just nominate you and then someone second it and the shit to go
Uh congressional gold medal
Uh, it is the oldest and highest civilian award in the united states along with the presidential medal of freedom It is bestowed by vote of the united states congress signed into law by the president
So I guess they have to vote on it, I wonder if it's just uh, a majority
So I guess they have to vote on it. I wonder if it's just a majority.
There's no general statutory scheme for creation of the award when a Congressional gold medal is deemed appropriate. Congress provides for the creation of each medal by passing a law to that effect.
Each chamber of Congress, the House, and the Senate imposejority sponsorship rules to begin consideration.
Wow, each medal is ordered to be uniquely designed and cast in gold by the United States
Mint.
Thus, there are significantly fewer gold medals than presidential medals.
U.S. citizenship is not a requirement.
As of November 29, 2023, 184 people, events, or institutions have been awarded a Congressional
Gold Medal.
Wow, so not a lot of them.
That's pretty amazing.
I wanted to ask Eli and on his wiki page it says that he was a conspiracy theorist in regards to
election fraud in
2020
Man wiki is a I mean, I'm glad I'm thankful we have it but what a
What a dumpster fire of just liberal propaganda.
All right.
Tonight, Oh Baby Beast is coming back on.
Kaylee, I think she's going to decide who she's going to take to Tony Hincliffe.
Am I saying his name right? Tony Hinchcliffe or Hincliffe?
Kaylee will be coming on.
I need to tell Patrick Rios that actually.
Rios, let me see if I can get Rios on the line.
So she has tickets to the big show.
Good morning.
Hey, we're live on the air.
Hey, could you make an Instagram like clip or something promoting tonight's show at 7
pm.
Kaylee is coming on to pick the winner of who gets to go to the
front row tickets to Tony Hincliffe and that that's that's 7 p.m. tonight all
right hey great clip that you made with Eli Crane thanks for getting that up so
fast all right dude all right thank you everything good. We're all set for January
11th and 12th filming Greg's up. We're all good, right?
Yeah. All right.
All right. So tonight's show is going to be good.
Clock, hi, good morning.
What the federal government can do is launch a Department of Justice civil rights investigation
of Chauvin's trial and conviction.
Seems there might be enough evidence to do that.
Oh, you mean since Trump
wouldn't have the ability to pardon him since it's a state case rather look into
the corruption of the case as a workaround?
Hmm.
Guess we know who runs the page. Well, not exactly.
Will Brandstetter does a lot on the page too, but Will can only do G rated up to PG-13
type of things.
Will is a very straight-laced, what we would call in the hood L7.
So this is a bit of a more risque project which requires maybe looking at some pictures
and making a post that doesn't align with Will's values or I fuck I don't even know what I'm saying but you but you get it he said Will is a more
uh not Will's a different kind of breed no that that's a that's a square hello caller
hi good morning fantastic, thank you.
Seve!
Oh dude, I was so close to hanging up.
You're lucky you got the Seve.
That hit me right in my heart.
Oh, it's you!
Dude, are you proud of me or what?
Why would I be proud of you?
Is this the steak eater?
No, this is Pat Lang.
Oh Pat, oh shit, shit okay good to see you buddy
i thought it was the guy
you know the guy the guy who only eats steak and fruit i thought it was him for a second
no no no it's pat lang i just want to talk to you about this
let's talk we've got two seconds i know you want to get off no no i'm good i'm good i'm just
getting too warm in here i got all dressed up for elie and i'm getting all warm in here
i understand do you think that there's fucked up kids and mental illness and all these problems
with families in any other countries in the world? Or do you think it's just the United States?
I think that the problem, I mean I'm really speaking out of line here,
but I think it's really bad in Western countries right now.
It's bad everywhere, do human beings are human beings, social media is a worldwide epidemic.
There's mental illness everywhere, kids get bullied everywhere.
The mass shooting problem is really only in the United States.
I mean, can we at least agree on that?
Yeah, but listen, if you're in survival mode,
these things don't manifest.
If you're at zero manifestation,
and then the more Cush things get,
these things, this is a really simple explanation,
the more these things manifest. That's what I a really simple explanation. The more these things
manifest. That's what I meant mostly Western civilizations. You know how it is. Let me
just give one quick example. And I do agree with you with the mass shooting things. But
when my kids are outside playing, there's no fighting. I've never seen my kids get into
a fight outside playing in the yard. Not once. And my kids are fucking professional fighters.
But there's video games and two hours in someone's like,
hey dude, don't do that again.
And the next thing I know someone's punching someone else
in the face.
And it's like-
Yeah, there's no doubt about it.
Yeah.
So just imagine our kids are surrounded by all of this
fucking nonsense that is not functional to their survival. And so that gives them the space to do all these fucking crazy things but dude
I think I don't know if you're gonna agree with this I think the biggest thing is right
after parenting is food.
Okay all these things could be I don't think it's gone I don't think it's gone if that's
where you're going you want to fight with me about guns I I don't no no no no see this is what everybody thinks like oh Pat wants to ban guns
Pat what Pat doesn't want to fucking ban guns what I'm telling you is we know there's a mental illness problem in the United States
It's everywhere in the world yet. We still sell guns to people that we know have these problems
Okay
Nashville to people that we know have these problems. Okay, Nashville, Uvalde, Vegas, Parkland, Aurora,
I could go down the list and believe me,
I've researched this shit a lot.
All those shooters were in therapy with severe problems,
doctors knew all about it, and they all walked into stores,
legally bought their guns, and within a few days,
went and mowed down a bunch of people.
Let's use Hunter Biden as the example. How can we control that?
Yeah. Hey, listen, let's use Hunter Biden as the example. You're right.
A gun sale to a fucking drug addict. That's right. And he lied on his application,
and he should have... I mean, let's be real though. I mean, if there was any fucking legitimate gun application policies, then you would find
the freaking lie because you would be doing research into these applications.
But all I'm saying is, we know a lot of the times who these crazies are.
It drives me crazy when we say, oh, the Vegas shooter.
Oh yeah, he was bipolar.
Oh yeah, he told his doctor he wanted to kill people. He bought 50 guns legally in the three weeks prior to rent that
hotel room and kill him 50 people. Don't you think that's a guy that shouldn't get his guns?
I mean, is it really that bad to say, sorry, buddy, you lose your two a rights when you tell a
psychiatrist, you're thinking about walking into a school and killing a bunch of people.
That doesn't take guns away from any law abiding citizens that have no issues.
They can have all the fucking guns they want.
They can go around shooting them.
If they got small decks, they can shoot them all day long.
I don't care.
I want you to have guns.
What I don't want is some psycho to have it and walk in and kill my kid.
Okay.
Let me give you perspective that most people don't even have the fucking and I'm not saying it's true
But let me give you some perspective that most people don't even have the fucking attention span to understand
Ready?
Yeah, I got you. I'm here. Okay big picture
There's two things you need that I want to throw out there to you
If you start doing stuff around guns, you have to be very careful that it doesn't turn into a slippery slope
You have to be very very careful because if you do and it turns into a slippery slope
Do you know what I'm referencing like that like like look at they started gassing tax in California?
And now it's over over a dollar a gallon is gas our tax is over a dollar a gallon
It's completely gotten fucking out of control. They should have never fucking taxed gas.
But so-
I got, I got, I get what you're saying.
We can't open the door and start,
because if we do, we have to always remember
that if you address the guns,
you're trying to fix the symptom instead of the cause.
And that's exactly what we did with COVID.
COVID is gonna cause millions of more, the reaction to COVID is going to cause millions more deaths than actually COVID
did. And, uh, and in kids getting raped and people getting beaten and people losing jobs
and just, you know, the whole fucking downstream effect that the, uh, uh, the, the quarantines
and all that shit are going to cause or are causing that's that like if you're gonna do something around guns you
can't do it so it turns into a slippery slope and next thing, you know, we're like the fucking UK or
Australia or any of those European countries where the men have to fucking walk around holding their ankles with their fucking I got you
But you know what I'm saying?
What I'm saying is you're not you're not doing anything around guns.
You're doing it around the people that shouldn't have them.
And I'm not talking about like McCasky's making comments
like, oh, the government will determine everyone crazy.
That's bullshit.
We're literally talking about people
who are clinically crazy.
You don't, I mean, there's a federal law
that you can't be a convicted felon and get a gun.
That's against somebody's two-way rights.
We made that law.
Nobody fucking cares about that.
Why the hell are we selling them to people
that are putting shit on social media
saying I want to walk into a school and murder people?
I mean, come on.
It's fucking common sense.
It's legitimate, easy, simple common sense.
Well, okay, simple, common sense. Well, okay. Listen, if you listen, let me find a spot where we can agree.
If, if someone comes in, let's say I'm a gun salesman and someone comes in to buy a gun
and then, and then I send it to the government and they check their Instagram and they see
I can't wait to kill nuns at the local fucking it's not the government though. that's the thing. Don't say the government. Has nothing to do with the government.
Oh, oh, I thought, who does the background checks?
I'm ignorant to that.
That's a private organization that does it?
Oh, no, no, no, the government would do
the background checks, but the recommendation
about someone who's in therapy on all sorts
of freaking Prozac and medication is going to be
the one that makes that determination.
Okay, but I'm, oh, sorry, I'm jumping to the,
I'm jumping to the, I made to this to the I made an assumption
I made an assumption that you want greater oversight and investigation into people buying guns before the gun is handed to them
Absolutely, okay
If you don't want that then you don't want the problem to be solved then you're okay with kids getting shot
Hold on hold on I mean it's. If you don't want to do anything,
then you're okay with that psycho who spent two weeks in a mental institution and then drove up
the main and shot up a bowling alley. Here's the problem with what I have. It's done after that.
Hey, what you're saying though is tantamount to like, God does everything. What I mean by that is,
what I mean by that is, that line that you're saying that if you don't want that,
it means that you're okay with people getting killed.
I could say that about a hundred things.
I could say that if you send your kids to school,
it means, I could draw a show that homeschool kids
have never shot anyone up in a school.
So that basically I could say,
if you don't want everyone to be homeschooled,
you're all for fucking school shooters.
I mean, it's just too broad.
You're just you're grabbing too much of the pie by saying that you're suggesting that
someone you're suggesting if someone doesn't want insane or the oversight that you want
for purchasing a gun, then that they support school shooting.
But there's other factors.
I'm saying that it's not like for 20 years.
God, no, no, you go ahead.
You go ahead.
I said we've been doing this for we've been watching this happen since columbine and we've done nothing
What have we done? You tell me what we've done as a matter of fact, it's gotten worse
So is is it really off base to sit back and say that we're not okay with it?
Because we watch it happen all the time. You can say you're completely not okay with it
I'm just concerned in prayers thoughts and prayers. That's what I'm saying
Like that's gonna fucking do something I wouldn't say you're completely not okay with it. Thoughts and prayers. That's what I meant. Thoughts and prayers.
I really feel bad for these people.
By the way, we're not going to do a fucking thing.
We're going to keep selling guns to people that we know
have massive issues.
I don't want...
Hear me on this. I do not want the solution
to make things worse.
I'm very concerned always that the solution is going to make things worse. Because don't want, I'm very concerned always
that the solution is gonna make things worse
because I see that happen all the time.
I get what you're saying, but we haven't even sat down
to even start the conversation
about what the solution is going to be.
All right, thank you.
That's all, that's all I'm saying.
I love hearing from you.
You know, I know everybody in the chat disagrees with me,
like McCasky's like, oh, they're
going to take guns away from everybody.
I've been hearing that they're taking guns away from everybody thing since I was 10 years
old.
They haven't taken any fucking guns away yet.
Even in Massachusetts, you can have your guns.
You can have them.
Let me ask you this.
So do you think it would be a bad thing if we had all our gun rights taken away in this
country?
Absolutely fucking horrible.
I am so pro two.
I am as pro two way as they get.
All right.
I want you to have as many guns as you want.
I don't care.
You can have a hundred as soon as you start showing that you're a threat to
society, like a legitimate threat.
I'm not talking about someone who gets in a fight with his friend.
I'm talking about a legitimate threat. And I understand when about someone who gets in a fight with his friend I'm talking about a legitimate threat and I understand when you say well who's making that call well all those examples
I gave you these mass shooters when you look back at their past you you you will if you have a brain say yeah
That guy shouldn't had a gun. It's not that difficult. You're never gonna solve all the problems, but shit
Can we start solving a few of them? That's all I'm saying. Hey dude there's some crazy shit you could do like hey
I'm gonna say the craziest one ever you ready? Yep. Here's one I'll give you two
crazy ones you could say that every single shooter had been diddled by uncle
Buck and I bet you you're 99% I've looked into a lot of them they haven't been. Yes they have.
Oh they've all been diddled by Uncle Buck Uncle Hey listen what if they were to be like hey blacks can't own guns? Yeah I mean
that's ridiculous. I mean we're getting crazy here. But completely ridiculous but
you have to fucking be careful because a lot of this logic that you're applying
when you start applying it logically to over things like you're like well 51% of
all killings are done by black people with guns and so we're gonna outlaw black people have guns.
That's that we live with fucking crazies that the only thing stopping them from saying shit
like that is virtue signaling.
Okay, so your black person comment.
Yeah, you know what?
You're right.
The problem is most black people that are shooting people are getting their guns illegally.
They're not getting them legally because they probably can't
based on current gun laws that stop them from getting them.
So they have to go to the black market and get,
which we know that there's hundreds of millions of guns
out there on the black market.
That's another issue.
Now we can delve into that one too.
I'm talking about the psycho white people
who are buying guns and going into malls, bowling alleys.
I mean, let's start there. Then you can get into the inner city shooting. None of those people are are buying guns and going into malls, bowling alleys. I mean, let's start there.
Then you can get into the inner city shooting.
None of those people are buying their guns legally.
My point wasn't skin color.
My point was, is the rationale for who's going to get guns and not get guns is
going to be very, very difficult.
It is going to be 99.5% of them will get guns and there's not that many crazy people out
there. I know we want to think there are, but there are a lot of people in therapy right
now that I guarantee you their therapist would say, this motherfucker is going to kill some
people if he gets ahold of guns. And that's everybody I said to you on that list. They
are all telling their doctors that, but there's no law in the book that stops the sale. Yes
There's red flag laws, but you need you need people in your family to trade to turn on you
To call the police to do that and even if the police are called
They're still very rarely going to get involved because they're too worried about like what you're saying is getting involved in someone's second amendment
Rights. Well, fine. We got two a rights here and everyone can have it and here's the result
We're watching the result of crazy people getting guns. And what do we do about it? Well, we haven't done anything says
Do you think that that that do you think that that whoever owned that gun?
That the girl used to shoot up the Christian school yesterday. Do you think that?
Do you think that the person who bought that gun? Oh
Would have passed your criteria for gun
purchase?
I know that's a really fucked up question.
Yeah, there is a decent percentage of school shooters, kids that are underage, that without
a doubt get their guns from their parents.
But do you think their parents are saying-
There's nothing you can do about that.
No, yeah, absolutely.
That's probably legal.
And like I said- Okay, then fuck your law. Then fuck your could do about that. No, yeah, absolutely. That's probably legal. And like I said, you never know.
Okay, then fuck your law.
Then fuck your law.
Never mind.
Well, sorry, dude.
All right.
You know, you got to start somewhere.
No, no.
You know?
No.
You got to start something.
All right.
So you're just going to sit back and say, forget it.
Hey, I think...
No, I think we'd be better off focusing on the school lunch program than your program.
Anyway, thank you, though.
You say some good important stuff.
Thank you, Pat.
All right.
All right, buddy.
Guys, he's not angry.
He's passionate.
That's a passionate man.
Very passionate.
This guy needs to be on the list he's asking for.
No, not no way.
I would.
Hey, let me tell you you if you were trapped if
you if you were like at an amusement park and uh there was a shooter i think pat langs
the first like pat would accidentally kill innocents protecting his family i think he Yeah, Seth, psychiatrists prescribed a gun grab.
They're beholden to pharma.
Who is to say they wouldn't be beholden to political agenda?
Yeah.
Seth, you nailed it.
Everything is going to get captured.
Anywhere you put in any rules, someone's going to try to capture the authority of those,
of controlling those rules and it's gonna be bad.
And right now, thank God, I mean, thank God there's enough money behind guns that they keep that open.
Excuse me.
Jodie, was that you who called yesterday? I think the dad purchased a gun, but what do I know?
Was that you who called yesterday?
Or the day before?
Someone said is someone is asking if that was you and I didn't even know that was you.
Oh, when you said, was that you who said you can check my LinkedIn?
Was that you
our mexican contingent's calling
what's up man i'm falling in for this
fucking
man okay so
okay well i'm i i used to be a general
manager at a gun store
oh and um seven months in atlanta so
probably one of the cities with the most black population.
Yeah, did you sell a lot of guns to rappers?
Yeah, Meek Mills tried to come in, but because he has a record, we couldn't sell him a gun.
Do you have to ask him to leave the store or can you even be in the store?
They can't. If they have like a certain like if they're still in parole,
they can't be in the store if it's like come get out.
Wow.
But yeah, because like they're breaking the law by being in the store anyways.
But he's talking about, Pat talking about this people with psychiatric bullshit
and having to do something with like checking the records, right, and people being in therapy
and all that. Like, you can't do that because of HIPAA violations. And then FBI and NICS
doesn't have the ability to do that. FBI NICS system is what checks the background checks
when we submit it.
But he's saying just cut through that bullshit, right? He's saying, okay, then let's change
that law too. In his defense, he's saying, okay, then let's give gun owner, if you want to buy a gun, then you have to give up your rights.
The same way to eat in a restaurant in San Francisco, you have to give up your medical rights.
Yeah. Well, that means that you have to have a doctor, like every store, every store that sells
guns would have to have someone who is licensed enough to go through the HIPAA or HIPAA train
to be able to look into those records.
And people can't afford that.
Or even FBI, you know, FBI has to have a doctor or someone, a case manager to go through your
medical records to say, hey, this person's been in therapy for like last six months or
whatever, and he has some suicidal thoughts, cancel him a gun. Medical records to say hey this person's been in therapy for like like last six months for whatever and
He has some suicidal thoughts cancel him a gun, but that violates the whole three
Three-day rule or five-day rule that you guys having or ten-day rule that's in California or anything like that
You have to go through HIPAA and trying to get HIPAA licenses fucking crazy
You know how they would do it by the way if they did it? They would just tax the guns.
So they would put a $300 fucking background check tax on every single gun.
I mean yeah, I mean for our FBI NIC stuff, we actually used to tack on a $30 charge for every gun purchase.
Hey, and I don't even think it would make a change by the way.
I'm not saying, I don't think Pat's idea would make a change because I think the,
uh, I think the crazies are going to shoot.
Oh yeah. 100%.
Um, like, uh, we used to have people that used to have people come in and straw purchases, right?
Meaning that like your cousin is trying to buy a gun for you.
Um, like if Taylor, if Taylor, like if Lizzie bought Taylor a
fucking gun, that's a straw purchase.
So like we used to catch.
So the first line of defense is really those, those gun cells, man.
Like I, I deny guns all the time.
I don't do, I used to deny guns all the time.
If I think you're fucking weird, I just go on the system and put
deny and send it to FBI.
Hey, let me ask you about that real quick. I just go on the system and put deny and send it to FBI Hey
Let me ask you about that real quick. So about a year ago. I went to the
passport I went to the post office to get passports for my three kids and my wife and I right and
Like the guy started the guy the fucking little
Poindexter behind the counter at the post office, right? God, I mean
Guy looked like I mean he
was nice but he's a fool creep too too nice you know? He starts talking to my
kids and I can't remember exactly what he asked me he says he I want to say did
he ask does your daddy ever spank you or something crazy like that? And I'm like
hey what's with all the questions he's like well if we suspect that there's
anything weird here
And you're trying to run out of the country with your fucking kids
He didn't say fucking you know we have to report it or I have to deny your ability to get a passport
I'm like what the fuck is going on some fucking dude who works at the fucking post office
He's giving me pedo vibes is
In determination on whether I get a passport are you seeing it's like that at the at the gun store too
Like you could just sniff something funny and be like nah this guy ain't getting it like what like what if you just didn't like
Armenians like no fuck you no Armenians. Oh
Wait, sorry. Hold on. You broke up. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on
Say that again. Yeah, go ahead
Could you just discretion theory?
Go ahead It's discretion to the... Go ahead.
Where'd you go?
It's discretion to the gun salesman, right?
Discretion to the gun salesman, okay.
Yeah, so like for me...
Like I wouldn't sell anyone with blue hair a gun then.
If I was there.
Yeah, yeah, that's what you wanted to.
Yeah, you just have to like make sure...
So discrimination's allowed in gun stores, I'm not against it by the way, but but but it is allowed
Dude, yeah, I fucking did it all the time. Yeah
like listen like like like like
Three Filipinos come in with their pants sagging and they can you can't understand a word they're saying
You're like, uh-uh, sorry.
You can't even pull your pants up.
Yeah, like if, dude, I've like rejected gun sales
just because you walked in weird into the store.
I'm not gonna lie.
You smile, you have a grill.
Sorry, no.
Like, no, like people come in and they look,
they just like shift the eyes, you know?
They just like come in, shift the eyes.
Oh, like they're on math or something
Yeah, like they're on math. I was like am I hey and I'll just call back to like my gun the gun counter
I'm like, hey this fucking dude tries to buy a gun deny him
And yes, why just tell him no
Discretion in a sense infringes on our rights though because not just anyone can be a gun salesman. Oh, is that true?
Not just it was it hard to be a gun salesman. I
Mean I you just pass a background check whenever I got to do it. Hmm
Yeah, you have to get like you have to go through like the FBI background check for yourself as well to be able to get
Access to submit background checks
If you had a DUI or something like that, could you still sell
guns? Something like that's not a violent thing? No. No, you couldn't. You gotta be clean. Clean as a whistle.
Pretty much, yeah. Wow, what a great, what a cool job. Gun sales in Atlanta. Yeah, it was wild. Like,
you got, I did get a bunch of people that come in, like a bunch of strippers will come in and they try to buy guns for their
boyfriends. And you can like tell, cause they'll be like, um,
I don't know what gun, um, my,
my boyfriend said I should get for my protection, but let me call him.
And you can hear over the phone, she'll be like, Oh yeah, yeah, just get that one.
That one's a good one. And I look at it and I was like, Hmm, that is a little bit too big for your hand.
And it doesn't fit in your purse.
That's it doesn't fit in your purse.
You're a stripper.
Like if you're trying to conceal Carrie, this is a five inch barrel.
You're where are you going to put this?
Like it's not for you.
It's for your boyfriend.
So I would deny her of that.
Hey, did you see the footage of Instagram of the Jersey cop shooting at the drones?
And I thought it was real. And Caleb and the gang were making fun of me saying it was a BB gun.
Oh, I haven't seen that yet.
Oh, okay.
I sent you a link to some crazy article that came out in 22 about nuclear and drone shit
and that it was the next false flag for COVID.
I sent you your text.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, I see that.
But going back to like this whole government thing, dude, and like conspiracy shit, like
back in, so I went to this class when I was in the military Up here in your set you Sam read which is like a research facility
for chemical and like biological attacks and they I was a medic so they teach you how to like
Treat that shit, but that's where they had like smallpox testing like monkeys and shit in that research facility
I think it's by New Jersey, I can't remember.
But we went in there and they showed us this fucking film in the 60s.
They were testing smallpox out in San Francisco, in major cities.
They would drop with a plane.
They would send in like, you know how they like crop dust in farms?
Yeah.
So they would use small planes like that and release smallpox throughout the day to see
how far it would get people sick.
And that's how they would prepare for biological attacks.
And they did it in the 60s and like the 50s.
It's crazy.
And how did you know about that?
Where did you get that information from?
I was in a chemical biological warfare school I went to.
And they told you that, that was part of the teaching?
Yeah, that's part of like the curriculum.
Isn't it weird and people think like,
oh, that shit just happened in the olden days
Oh, they put leeches on George Washington and bled him to death medicines come so far. They would never do that today
They like they found out that like between the hours of 5 30 p.m. And like
730 p.m. Is the best time to fucking use like a chemical warfare for the biggest spread
wow because like in san francisco it was like a 10 mile radius where people were infected and
the hospitals were just kind of flooded did you hear the lady calling yesterday where she talked
about working for the uh water district in texas in in 2014 and they would do tests that you know
they would do drills on how quickly they could turn off the you know electrical grid or the water treatment plants to stop
The spread of you know waterborne diseases yet crazy
Yeah, there's a just such a test happening all the time and fucking that the government does that people don't know about
What's crazy is that there are that the government does that people don't know about. What's crazy is that there are the, the, um, I mean, I,
a hundred percent believe Eli that he has no information on the drones.
That's what's crazy that the lawmakers that we're electing don't know.
And to me, the deep swamp is all the people who are running this shit,
who we haven't elected.
Yeah, it is. It is wild. I saw it. I didn't see any of like the drone shit. Um,
it's been on my list to look at it, but it is fucking wild.
Dude, you heard Jethro called in yesterday.
Him and his wife said that they had drones over their house two nights in a row.
A shitload of them.
Yes. Yeah, that's fucking nuts.
Like how?
Like I have a drone and even like if I throw my drone up here in my neighborhood,
like neighbors come out and they're like, yo, you can't have that drone up.
Right.
Out by my house.
Me too. It's privacy. Me too. Like neighbors come out and they're like yo, you can't have that drone up right now by the house
Chill out like my drones like the mini one so you can't even see it I think that there's a drone that if you put it up and it's big enough
No one everyone will like there's like a shut the fuck up drone. Do you know what I mean?
Yeah, it's it's like
It's like if you're six foot four 250 pounds pounds, people don't bump into you at the bar.
You know what I mean?
There's a drone big enough.
Yeah.
It's like if you have a drone with a 20 foot diameter, your neighbors aren't saying shit
to you.
It's just official.
Right.
It's just like, oh fuck.
It's like you report it to the news.
Big dig drone.
Got it. I don't have that big big drum money yeah all right thanks for the insights
