Starting point is 00:00:00 We got you want to hit you want to hit that? Put on one. You want to put it on one? Yeah, we'll do with that. This is hilarious story. A bunch of these college kids who are not citizens are freaking out because they are Hamas sympathizers and Trump is going to deport them. Did you guys see that Asian woman
Starting point is 00:00:28 who was leading those protests? She got her visa revoked. Deport them all. Yep. Later, bitch. See ya. So here you go. Daily Mail panicked college students
Starting point is 00:00:37 deleting online info after Trump promised to deport Hamas sympathizers. Get them. Trump 78 signed an executive order to cancel the student visas of anyone who's shown support for the Palestinian terror group. There we go. Just go support them all.
Starting point is 00:00:52 Bro, this is great. How are you guys? I'm enjoying this first two weeks. I don't know, man. I love it. Can it get any crazier? Yeah, I imagine that it can get crazier. I think that the response could escalate. Right now, the left is completely in disarray. They don't know how to react. Eventually, they're going to get their feet under themselves and they're going to have coordinated responses. Like I've said before, there's going to be attempts at lawfare. They're going to try and put people in jail for doing things they don't like. This is the standard procedure on the left right now.
Starting point is 00:01:25 And I don't I don't see I mean, I don't see why they would stop. No, but I also think that there's going to be indictments and arrests in general. The people that committed sedition and treason in 2016 forward that had 12 criminal referrals against them with Nunes and Cash, I believe will be held accountable, especially I think John Brennan will be held accountable. I wouldn't be surprised also if this goes all the way to the Clintons. So, I mean, I really do believe we're going to see accountability at some point soon. I know people don't want to believe it, but I do believe that it will happen to some extent. I'd love to see it.
Starting point is 00:02:03 I know that there are people that are going to be like, they're going to get cold feet. They're going to say that it's a retribution. I don't care what people say. If they actually broke the law, then I want to use the full force of the federal government to investigate, prosecute, and jail those people if they're found guilty.
Starting point is 00:02:19 I want to play this video for you guys. Totally unrelated. You going to pay for that stuff there buddy call the cops call the cops took his back what are you gonna do he's a little guy too compared to the other dude what are you going to do? Get your legs around his waist. Relax. I can't do this.
Starting point is 00:02:51 Yeah, you can't steal. You and your buddies, buddy. You can't touch me, bro. I ain't touching you. I ain't touching you. You can't touch me. You've been touched. You can't touch me.
Starting point is 00:03:00 You can't touch me. I'm going to put this seat on. Stop, bro. You're not going to sue me? Yes, bro. You're putting hands on me. Stop. You can't touch me. Stop. I'm going to put this on you. Stop, bro. You're going to sue me? Yes, bro. You're putting hands on me. Stop. You know what I want to see? More of that?
Starting point is 00:03:10 I am appalled by this video. I am angered by this video. I want to see the dude shoplifting, peacefully walking towards the door, when someone goes boom and just fucking punches him right in the face and knocks him clean out. Just falls back, boom, on the ground, and that's the end of it. Fuck these motherfuckers. This video was cathartic. That's why I played it.
Starting point is 00:03:33 I would like to see those kind of things happen and then no repercussions to the person. But I will also stress, this is a sentiment I feel, but if you literally do that, you'll probably get in trouble. This guy, this is the problem. He's going to get sued or some shit, but fuck it. Who cares, man? Like, I would always recommend that you take actions for yourself. Don't take advice from me on any of this stuff. I'm just saying I would like to see the shoplifters get their comeuppance.
Starting point is 00:04:04 Yeah. And then to tie it in with the segment we're doing, those pro-Hamas, non-American students get deported. Get them out of here. The worst. Get them out of here. I don't know about, like, this is a big chain store and stuff like that, so there's going to be certain things that are going to happen. If that happens to a mom-and-pop shop, I would love to see the dudes smoke them.
Starting point is 00:04:24 Like, honestly, that will fix the problem. A couple videos of dudes getting shot because they were stealing and no repercussions happening to the store owner, that will fix the problem. Yeah, you're not wrong, but the death penalty for shoplifting is a little rough. No, no, no, not death penalty. That's something that the state carries rough. No, no, no, not death penalty. That's something that the state carries on. No, no, no, what I'm saying is if you're – that's true. There's a lot of states that actually –
Starting point is 00:04:52 I think Texas allows it, don't they? There are states that allow you to shoot to kill for defensive property. So with that regard, then, yeah, you're right. It's about – go ahead, I'm sorry. The worst part about stuff like this is when all of the – because you said it was a big chain store, was it? CVS. CVS, okay.
Starting point is 00:05:07 So when Target then starts locking up their merchandise in low-income neighborhoods, then you have to deal with the people online who claim that it's because of racism that they're locking up their merchandise in these stores because they believe that the store doesn't want to make money, that they secretly want to close the store and move it. So they pretend as if they're closing up, that they're locking up the merchandise just so that people won't go there and make it more difficult.
Starting point is 00:05:31 Even though everyone understands that they just can't afford to leave the merchandise out anymore. I've made this point on IRL a couple times, especially a couple times recently, even property rights are the foundation that our society is built on. And the ownership of all the stuff in that store, that's all the property of the owner of the store. Now, I understand if you're a big chain, you're not going to be able to do this. And if you work for a big chain, don't do that. Don't shoot someone over someone else's property,
Starting point is 00:06:03 especially a big chain. But if you're a mom and pop shop and the guy, like if you're a convenience store and there are people that are stealing from you, that is your property. And the government has a responsibility to protect your rights and your property. And if the government refuses to do it, you have the right to defend your property. Only in Texas are you allowed to defend property with lethal force. Only in Texas? Texas is the only state. Yep.
Starting point is 00:06:30 In any other state with Castle Doctrine, there has to be an immediate threat to your safety. So punching a guy square in the face is not lethal force, some might argue. But look, let me tell you this. You know you live in a good state if you can fucking punch a motherfucker in the face when they're shoplifting yeah i mean that that should be fine yeah like if you if i'm i'm deal stuff i'm mad this dude's not getting his ass kicked yeah like he's getting held down and the guy's saying relax relax he's just subduing him yeah and that's the responsible thing to do. We live in this world now where they're like, the security guards won't do anything.
Starting point is 00:07:10 Employees won't do anything because they're like, we have insurance and you're going to get sued. And I'm like, dude, fucking one kick to that guy's ACL and he ain't ever going to steal again. But I'm not telling you to do that. I'm just saying. You know those videos out of Brazil where the guy comes in to rob the store and then someone
Starting point is 00:07:32 just pulls out a gun and fucking smokes him? I love watching those videos. I don't remember where this video was, but remember when those kids should have robbed a gun store? I forget where the store was, but the guy had a knife so he jumped over the counter and the guy stabbed him like three or four times. The guy's like, oh, I don't know if he died, but he's knife, so he jumped over the counter. The guy in the store stabbed him three or four times. The guy died.
Starting point is 00:07:46 I don't know if he died. He was like, oh, I'm dead. I'm dead. Yeah, yeah. He died. Yeah, I think he did die. That dropped crime in the area by 10 folks. They're like, wow, people in the store will stab us for this?
Starting point is 00:07:57 Yeah, people will stab you, bro. There's this video out of Brazil where two guys come to rob a guy's store. He's got his hands up. They walk in the back with bags, start robbing it, and then he runs to rob a guy's store and he's got his hands up. They walk in the back with bags, start robbing it, and then he runs to the front of the store, jumps and grabs the metal grate, spins around, drops it, and locks him in. Yeah, dude, I love this shit.
Starting point is 00:08:15 See, here's the thing. In these videos in Brazil, the guy walks up and points a gun at the head of all these people, and then somebody just goes, bang, and kills him. I don't want anybody to die, but if you point a gun at somebody else intending to kill them, you die. You are the bad guy. You die. No, I'm not going to...
Starting point is 00:08:31 It's not incumbent upon the victim to sit there and wait to find out whether or not you're going to be violent. Same thing is true for the shoplifter. He's actively committing a crime. It is not going to be my response. And look, check this out. When the video starts, in the beginning, who's falling on the ground? It's the dude.
Starting point is 00:08:48 The shoplifter drops him. See that? Boom. And then they fight. So the guy ain't great. As far as I know, he got attacked first. It's not even clear if the guy even works there. I think he's just a civilian.
Starting point is 00:09:00 Yeah, he appears to be just a guy. They know that if enough stuff gets stolen, then the store goes out of business. And if you live in that area and you don't have a car, and suddenly the place where you go to get your medications or to get your food, you need those places to remain in business. They lock the ice cream up. All over Manhattan, everything's locked up. It's ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:09:17 And then they complain and say, why are they doing this to us? It's like, no, no, your neighborhood is doing this to you. The culture that you've embodied, that's what's happening. That's why you're suffering through this. Here's the reality. If you go back 150 years, they just kill you. And nothing would be done about it. Yes.
Starting point is 00:09:39 You would be dead. And people would be like, what happened to Jim? He's dead. People would agree with it, too, that if you went after somebody's property, you know, that, you know, they have the right to do that. Well, now, you know, there's the people who say like, you know, if you kill somebody because they come into your house to steal your TV,
Starting point is 00:09:54 it means that you valued your TV more than that person's life. And people are like, yes, I value everything in my home more than an intruder's life. Are you insane? You don't know what an intruder in your home is going to do. I can't read minds. I don't know why you're in my home.
Starting point is 00:10:10 And if I tell you to get out and you don't get out, I'm going to put them in you. I'm going to shoot you. Those people that complain about that are the same ones who tell cops to shoot limbs rather than... Yeah, they're morons. Why don't you shoot the knife out of his hand? Right, exactly. If you shoot someone in the thigh, they're probably going to bleed out anyway.
Starting point is 00:10:29 It's probably going to rip through their femoral, and they're probably going to bleed out. Dude, what's crazy is in South Africa, they have duty to retreat laws. My grandfather at age, I think it was early 80s, fought some dude off that broke into the house,
Starting point is 00:10:44 and he almost got kicked out of town but he's been living in that town since like before the place was even like incorporated but yeah like the story is nuts like the dude broke into the house was trying to stab him and he like by the grace of god luckily got a shot off got another shot off on him i don't know if he hit him or something like that but he ran away and he's got like 80 something years old but yeah like the idea of duty to retreat and the fact they almost lost their house and got everything taken from them by the government and all this stuff because they said, oh, well, how could you prove you were trying to kill him? He's like, the loaded gun, entering the house at 3 in the morning, all this stuff.
Starting point is 00:11:12 Those laws are fucking nonsense. That's such nonsense. The fact that he's in your home and you can't read minds is enough to say I am in danger. It's not like you're, I mean, if you want to make a, and I don't agree with this, but this, if you wanted to make the argument, you're walking around on the street and someone comes up to you with a knife and they're like, give me all your money, right? You could make an argument. You don't know if he'd have killed you. You could have given the money, right?
Starting point is 00:11:40 I disagree with that. Again, I don't, I don't ascribe to that. But you could make that argument. Inside your own home, you're in your home. Someone comes in. You have no reason to believe that they want anything other than to cause you great bodily harm. You can't read their mind. You do what you need to defend your life and your family. And the worst person you know that would tell you to just call the cops hates the cops anyways because they have no
Starting point is 00:12:07 logical consistency. Yes, that's 100% true. They're going to tell you, oh, you should just call the cops because then the cops will come and they'll take care of it for you. But ACAB. Yes. Stupid idiots. It's kind of a litmus test for people to see how far along
Starting point is 00:12:23 they are to understand just how messed up society is that they are empowering criminals and taking every conceivable method of protection for you and on a citizen away from you. It's by design. If we look at the, you know, especially the Soros DAs all over, they don't want they want us to moralize, to humanize, to feel helpless and hopeless and all that. Did you see the people who were like, I feel a little less safe on a train today because Daniel Penny was acquitted. I'm like, are you kidding me? Imagine. Unless you were nuts, you should feel way safer. Right. A lot safer.
Starting point is 00:12:58 He got like a big job. Did you see that? He got like a big job. Thankfully. Good. Daniel Penny. Oh, yeah, yeah. It was like Andreessen Horowitz. Yeah. Look at that. Well, good. Daniel Penny. Oh, yeah, yeah. It was like Andreessen Horowitz.
Starting point is 00:13:05 Yeah. Look at that. Well, good for him, man. I like this. There was another video I saw. I can't remember what it was, but I like watching these videos where it's like people just saying no more. No more. One of my first jobs was I worked at a Target, and they wouldn't stop the shoplifters.
Starting point is 00:13:23 They're like, look, for as much money as they steal, it makes the suburban moms feel unsafe if we're constantly stopping people from— Wow. If we have to have violent interactions or prevent people forcibly in front of a bunch of soccer moms, it looks bad on the company. So they just write it off and put the guy's face in the black book. It's men's fault. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:46 It's men have become weak. Yeah. it's it's men have become weak yeah that's it men have become weak there there there are certain guys out there that'll do this and then he's like i'm gonna sue it's like oh yeah and then he does like i don't know fuck sue me fuck you but you know we were talking about movies and culture and stuff the issue is that there used to be a more unified culture. Everybody would go to see the same movies. Everybody would watch the same TV shows. Now they don't. So now it's, I don't know you.
Starting point is 00:14:15 Someone comes in, robs a CVS, like, I don't know you. I don't care. Bye. I mean, that's, I mean, just with the sheer size of the country, right? The population. It's like they talk about why cops don't feel a particular devotion to the area they police because they don't live there. Most of the time, police lives in another city, right? So they don't feel any type of devotion to protecting the people in that area.
Starting point is 00:14:37 It's just a job. Yeah, I mean, that's a big part of it. But I think it's also, again, demoralization. Why would they put their lives on the line for people that hate them? Yeah, the demoralization part is important. People that have hope for the future, that have a positive outlook on their life and believe that things are going to get better in their life, they don't engage in revolutionary activities. And I've said this a million times on the show, but it's the truth. If you, one of the things that the,
Starting point is 00:15:06 the, the thinkers in leftist thinkers that, you know, came after Marx, people like Herbert Marquis, they said was like, they, they didn't think that the revolutionary energy was in the,
Starting point is 00:15:18 was in the working class anymore because, and he wrote this in, in, um, one dimensional land. He said that the, the, the revolutionary energy is no longer in the working class because capitalism delivers the goods. It provides a good life for the worker. And so if you lose the worker, if you don't have a worker that's destitute, that's suffering, that's miserable, so that way you can focus that pain and suffering
Starting point is 00:15:45 and blame the property owner. If they're not miserable anymore, then what you need to do is find a new person that's miserable. So what he said was, you're going to find the revolutionary energy in the ghettos and in the black population. So essentially he was saying, we're going to use minorities to turn them against the white people.
Starting point is 00:16:04 And they've even done it in a fashion with feminism and the way that women don't feel fulfilled with working the nine to five, $60,000 a year laptop job. So they have to take on pet causes because it fulfills a certain instinct in them that they're not getting. Yes, exactly. Yeah. And furthermore, the feminism thing, like the idea, like they tell women that it's men that have done this to them. And really what they're doing is telling women that the conditions of reality are actually men's fault.
Starting point is 00:16:36 Like you hear women talk about their periods and they're like, oh, you know, women have their period. And that's something that's men. It's men's fault. Even though men, it was a man that came up with the tampon. It was a man that came up with the sanitary napkin. Doing their best to help women to make their suffering from the period less, to doing what they can to help them, but it's still the patriarchy in man's fault. It's so fake. It's so phony.
Starting point is 00:17:01 We watched a video for Cringe of the Day yesterday. We do a segment called Cringe of the Day where it's so funny we watched a video for cringe of the day yesterday where this um we do a segment called cringe of the day where it's this woman talking about all of the reasons why she doesn't have kids right and so when you see that on its face and like most of those time you see it as anti-natalist which i'm like look if you don't want to have kids that's your own business i don't really care but she actually breaks it down to saying it's because of late stage capitalism and men that i don't want to have a family. Therefore, I have all of these indulgences where she's living in like a penthouse in a city.
Starting point is 00:17:33 And I'm like, well, you're living in a penthouse in clearly a very, very nice area. You are late stage capitalism in every respect of the word. But there's a certain level of delusion to thinking that way. Whereas like I would have had more respect if you were just like, I don't want to have kids because I don't want to have kids. Not this fake critical theorist version of why. Well, that's also somebody that regrets their choices if they need to make a statement like that, even justify it.
Starting point is 00:17:54 So you're saying repeal the 19th? Yeah, that's exactly what I'm saying. That's what I thought. So you're saying you want to repeal the 19th Amendment? To start. And what? Look, you said it, not me. I think that someone was talking about
Starting point is 00:18:09 I think it was when we did the culture war when you were out, one of the guys was saying he thinks that you should be incentivized to not vote, to pay people to not vote, and in the hopes that people that don't actually care about politics would not vote.
Starting point is 00:18:25 That kind of means that you have to pay to vote. If you're getting paid not to vote, that means by default everybody would get like $100, and then that means you would go to the voting booth and by voting you would be foregoing money. It's like the episode of House where he just doesn't want to deal with the clinic patients, so he pays patients to leave. He's like, well, if they take the money, they can't be that sick. That show is awesome. But I do think that the idea of disincentivizing people that are only marginally informed or uninformed, I think that that's a great idea.
Starting point is 00:19:03 Maybe paying them isn't the way to do it, but I don't think, like, we have this we've had this idea that get everybody out to vote and you're going to get the best results. No. That is, if you look at how bad people are at driving, which is very simple,
Starting point is 00:19:20 that should give you all the evidence that you need to say, you know what, maybe voting isn't for everybody. When people are listening to Beyonce and Jay-Z or even listening to me about who to vote for, go find out for yourself. Women shouldn't be allowed to vote until they get drafted. Or until they have kids. Right now, women can vote to send men to their deaths.
Starting point is 00:19:39 Wait, I thought that they repeal. I thought that women were now supposed to be added to the draft. Right now, a woman can vote for war and then the men have to go die. Well, remember, Tim, they will tell you that women are the more emotional but also logical and they would never do that. There's no such thing as a warmongering woman. I think it's a thing. I think it's historically that women have started more wars than men over the past 600 years. Greens have, yes.
Starting point is 00:20:07 Another thing is Hillary Clinton tried to pass off the idea that women suffer most because of war because they lose their husbands and their sons, which is absolutely mind boggling that someone would articulate that and think that it's actually true. Like she literally believes that it's like men are dying. No, she's right, though. it's actually true. She literally believes that. It's like, men are dying. No, she's right, though. She's completely right. A woman will suffer when her husband dies. The man won't, because he's dead. No, I believe that men are the primary victim of war because
Starting point is 00:20:37 they die. Yeah, but there's no suffering. She said that the primary victim of war is a warrior. Political diesel words. No, no, no. Yeah, yeah. Whatever. She says whatever.
Starting point is 00:20:48 Which is, I mean, it just goes to show the it speaks to the way that society looks at men. Men are disposable. And honestly, I know that there are people out there that might get a little miffed about this. It's OK that men are looked at as a little disposable because it only takes one man to impregnate multiple women. If a woman, like, it takes a woman nine months to make a baby, you can have, like, one dude and 50 women and repopulate the earth. You're not going to do that if you have one woman and 50 dudes. Yeah, but then they're all banging their half-brothers and half-sisters.
Starting point is 00:21:20 I didn't say it was a great idea. And now they have all the fake wombs and the transhumanism thing kind of coming down the pike. Have you seen, there's a movie about this. I forgot what it's called. Did you see it? The one with... They have pot little eggs.
Starting point is 00:21:35 No, they really have that already in China. They have them now here, it's just they're not using it for humans. Surrogacy is even a huge topic. There's a movie where they have little eggs and you can raise your baby in it and you put a food pack on it that then dissolves into it to feed the
Starting point is 00:21:49 placenta or whatever. And so women are wearing them. They go to work and put them in a closet and close it and then go to work. And it grows the baby. It's a very big part of Hollywood right now is making movies about that. Transhumanism? Transhumanism and normalizing it.
Starting point is 00:22:05 They ruined the movie, though, because there's a scene in it where they mention that kids born in the pods don't have dreams. And then I'm like, oh, shit, this is going to get dark, isn't it? No. It never comes up again. Do they have souls? The movie just ends with them celebrating the birth of their baby, and it's over. And I was like, I thought they were going to be like, the babies don't dream and their brains are fried or some shit. Those movies and movies that are now discussing artificial intelligence are both the ones that are getting a lot of the half-baked ideas from some of the— They're predictive programming, getting us used to accepting whatever they throw at us.
Starting point is 00:22:35 I mean, that's true, but there's also—there are a lot of the avant-garde filmmakers who do want to explore those topics. I got something for you. You're big into this globalism shit. Right now, I am super pissed off about the, they're called the Uber laws. Do you know about them? No, tell me about them. 34 states have banned independent contracting.
Starting point is 00:22:52 So what happens is when Uber comes out, people stop working jobs at McDonald's and they pick up an app, they become a contractor for Uber, and then they make money. So California starts us off by passing SB5 where they said, you cannot contract more than 30 times for one company.
Starting point is 00:23:09 West Virginia in 2021 banned independent contracting. So you as an individual are no longer allowed to work for someone. Why? What is the rationale? I know it's crazy, but what do you mean? You will live in the pot and you will eat the bugs. That's the rationale.
Starting point is 00:23:22 Supposedly it was supposed to encourage them to hire them on full time at these companies, right? So UBI, like the end game would be that. No, it's that you as an individual have no right to generate revenue. You must either work for an approved corporation or you don't work at all. That is just ridiculous. So right now in West Virginia, the thing that, so we've lost three people already because we got audited and they said, what are these contractors? And we were like, talent.
Starting point is 00:23:47 And they were like, nope, not allowed in West Virginia. We banned that. So look at it this way. You're an individual in West Virginia and you have a lawn mowing business or something. Right, right. No, let's do something more specific. You write articles. This is a better way to do it because freelance news writing is a common thing.
Starting point is 00:24:06 Right. You write five articles for a news website and two articles for a sports website. You have two different clients. The sports stuff gets you a little bit extra every week. That allows you to pay your bills and go out and have fun. The way West Virginia's law works, you would have to become an employee of the news company. As an employee, you can't work for anybody else. So your other clients are fired. And what does this also include? You have to get like them insurance and all that other stuff. So we were required to have
Starting point is 00:24:33 anybody here was a contractor, form their own company, which they can work for, get their own bank account, get a license in West Virginia in order for them to actually contract. And even then it's still murky because the rule is the contracted position can't be something that is a core function of the business. So if you're a news website, you are no longer allowed to hire freelance writers. This trend is in 34 states. And this means if you as an individual want to go to any business and say hey i need some income right now can i do some let let me let me clean your place up for 100 bucks i'll clean i'll clean your bar they'll go we can't do that cleaning the bar is an essential function we have to hire as a w2 employee and you go yeah but i'm only here for a weekend and i just need a job tonight they'll say
Starting point is 00:25:22 yeah that's illegal yep Yep, 34 states. Are people fighting back? Nobody's paying attention to it. Nobody noticed it's happening. The first time that you talked about it, especially related to the freelance writers, I remember telling a friend who just didn't pay, he didn't listen to anything other than mainstream press,
Starting point is 00:25:40 and I told him about this. He goes, no, that's wrong. I'm like, it's not wrong. It's right there in the news. They're talking about it on mainstream sites and they just couldn't believe that that was a real thing. That really does sound shocking. 34 states.
Starting point is 00:25:51 America. So in West Virginia, it is effectively illegal for a 16-year-old kid to knock on your door and say, can I mow your lawn for 10 bucks? Wow, that's awful. Yep. I had no idea.
Starting point is 00:26:04 And so this, what is the end result of this? When every state adopts this law, an individual who needs money is either going to have to ask the government or Walmart. It's like when you see the kids who start the lemonade stands and you hear the stories about the cops coming to shut down the lemonade stands. Yeah, is this a push towards universal basic income, the ready player world, ready player one world? No, it is. It is a push towards 1984 where you will work for the machine. I want food. The machine applications are over there. So it's like during covid, the mom and pop shops got shut down and Walmart was open. Right. Yep. So only them to survive. Walmart was allowed to stay open.
Starting point is 00:26:42 Right. And the mom and pops were shut down in New Jersey, in North Jersey during COVID. A woman went live on Facebook filming the products in her store. And she said, you can you can hit me up online and we'll have them shipped to you. And the police showed up and said, ma'am, you need to close your store down because we are closed. And they go, no, you're selling stuff. She goes, what do you mean? And they're like, you've got to stop selling things. And she goes, no, my store is closed. And they were like, that's not what we mean. They didn't, when they said,
Starting point is 00:27:11 close your store because of COVID, they weren't saying because of sickness. They were saying, stop doing business. What we're seeing right now that nobody's noticing is in 2021, it's fucking nuts. West Virginia passed this law where they basically said individuals cannot contract for companies.
Starting point is 00:27:29 That's it. It's over. That's so crazy. You will live in the pod and you will eat the bugs. Right. I mean, it's crazy. So we had three people so far
Starting point is 00:27:37 where we said they audited us and told us contracting is illegal and we may have penalties for it. If you want to keep working here, you have to create an LLC. You have to file for a permit to operate in West Virginia. And they said, no, it's 800 bucks. I'm not doing it. So they're just trying to get rid of all small businesses, too, because they have that other thing.
Starting point is 00:27:57 Well, I think that's the next step. But right now, this basically means individual sole proprietorship, individual contract labor is done. You can't do freelance work. If you want to go to a farm and say, hey, I'm looking to make some extra money. Do you have any farmhand work? Sorry, can't hire you. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:28:11 It's illegal. Yep. Yeah, because they have that reporting thing, which you probably have to deal with too now that they want to put through where you have to report everyone that has any kind of stake in your business to FINRA or whatever.
Starting point is 00:28:23 And it's just, it's an attack on small businesses because then they have to hire people and do more just to keep up. I feel like this is a big component of the you will live in the pod and eat the bugs story that nobody's noticing. That's interesting. I got to really look into that
Starting point is 00:28:37 because that is also, I believe that that's happening overseas as well. But it really is about being completely dependent on the government because Internet of Body, Internet of Things, you're not going to be able to not do that. In 50 years, there's going to be a handful of corporations that have
Starting point is 00:28:51 state sanction, and you want to make money, it's going to be like Google and Walmart. Like idiocracy. Yep. And you're going to go there and say, I'd like to apply for income, and they're going to be like, here are the jobs we have available. And it's like, can I just, maybe I'll go to my friend and say, can I give you money for food?
Starting point is 00:29:07 No, that's illegal. Every restaurant's Taco Bell. Yep. All right, everybody, we're going to go to callers. Let's get it. Let's start with El Mirachi. What up? Hey, how's it going?
Starting point is 00:29:20 It's going well. Thank you for pronouncing my name right. Oh, I did. Well, good. Well, my question is actually about what you were just talking about, the ABC test laws going on in the country. I actually looked into the laws in my state, and we're a common state law. I'm in North Carolina. Yeah, common law state.
Starting point is 00:29:42 You probably already have your mind made up. But what are the possibilities of moving to North Carolina and what kind of cons and pros can you see in that? Proximity to urban centers is the problem. D.C. is a major, like, in New York, like, New York and D.C. are the best politically. And New York's, like, distant second. Like, where we are is the best for the style of show that we have.
Starting point is 00:30:08 You get a lot of people come in who are also doing work in D.C. So it's all the political people, the pundits. You're close to three, like a bunch of airports. Right. There's three major airports. Two in D.C. and one in Baltimore. So that's the problem. Maryland has the same law, but they don't enforce it
Starting point is 00:30:24 the same way. West Virginia's the worst. There is a strong possibility that the politicians in West Virginia are saying they want to get rid of it. And so that's good. And Morrissey, the governor, said we're a young, our administration had just got in. Give us a chance to fix this. And so, you know, Virginia is probably a bad idea because that's where the deep state is. And so you don't want to be under the boot. Maryland is really bad on gun laws and it's kind of scary. It really is. Like, you can't have a gun. You can't have a gun.
Starting point is 00:30:55 I get death threats all the time in West Virginia. I'm strapped. But when I go out strapped, I'm like, we can't leave. We're in the state and we can stay. We can't go anywhere. So if we go out and I have a or more gun on on me i'm like there's no going to maryland you want to go to the sushi place over the note we can't we got to go home drop the guns off first so i'm hoping that west virginia abolishes this fucking bullshit
Starting point is 00:31:20 yep yep so the opposite obviously it's what you're saying but they should do Fucking bullshit. Yep. So the opposite, obviously it's what you're saying, but they should be doing everything they can to get people to get work no matter what it is. Yep. It's the worst. I think, sorry, the pretext is that West Virginia can't enforce tax law against a million people because of critical mass. They just don't have the capability. So instead, they made it illegal to hire people. When did it come in?
Starting point is 00:31:48 When did they pass that law? 2021. June 7th, I think. What if Trump abolishes the IRS? Does that law stay in place? Yeah, it's state law. Mm-hmm. I think he's going to go back to the IRS. A few more things of information for you guys, too. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:10 If it helps when it comes to North Carolina, it is a purple state. So it's got a Democrat governors, but it's been a Republican super majority for like the past like six or seven elections, election cycles. And they recently introduced a bill to make North Carolina the next constitutional carry state. So that's some positives going on in North Carolina right now. And I think with your influence, if you theoretically did move to North Carolina, it would probably help make it a red state. What do you think? I just think there's not a good hub for doing the show. That's why North Carolina wouldn't work.
Starting point is 00:32:48 We wouldn't be able to get guests. Yeah, when we have people drop off or cancel on us, which happens a lot, there's like 3,000 people in D.C. that will come on the show. And it's very easy to look at our guest list and then see when we had a cancellation.
Starting point is 00:33:09 You'll be like, oh, it's a regular joining in tim again yeah but but uh i appreciate you want to shout anything out uh no um well right you guys want to follow me on xbox same same uh same gamertag but all right else i don't do any social media well thanks for calling in buddy cheers man thank you all right next up we've got panda ish what's up any social media. Well, thanks for calling in, buddy. Cheers, man. Cheers. Thank you. Alright. Next up, we've got Pandaish. What's up? Good evening, everybody. Good evening. I have a question
Starting point is 00:33:34 for anybody who wants to answer it, but Cuomo wasn't on PBD today, and he was saying that the Department of Education is funded by Congress so that the executive branch wouldn't be able to defund the Department of Education. So how would you what would be your solution of what to do and is going to restrict its activities and minimize its impact to actually get rid of any cabinet level bureaucracy. You would need an act of Congress because they have been they're created by Congress, I believe.
Starting point is 00:34:22 And so you have to have something, a law passed to actually do it. But the executive does have a lot of lee not only is the Department of Education unnecessary, that you actually have better results when the states are left to decide how the funding would be spent, because the funding would still go from the federal government to the states, but it just wouldn't go through the Department of Education. It wouldn't go to the centralized department. What I also understood, too, was that they were going to be filing lawsuits using the 10th Amendment, saying that some of these agencies are unconstitutional and therefore
Starting point is 00:35:17 go back to the states. That was an idea that was thrown around, I know, by a bunch of people in the Trump world. Yeah, if I understand correctly, that's the goal with a lot of things. So the executive order about the 14th Amendment and birthright citizenship, the reason he did that was because he wants to get that issue in front of the Supreme Court so the Supreme Court can actually make a decision saying, you know, are anchor babies intended or are anchor babies not intended? Is that someone getting around the intent of it? And there's a couple other things I think that they're looking to do. One of the things is, does the executive have the authority to fire people in the executive branch? Because right now, it's a big pain in the nuts for the president to fire anyone.
Starting point is 00:36:00 Right. As the executive, he should be able to say right this person's gone this person's gone now they have all kinds of recourse they can sue there's unions and all that bullshit and so what the goal if i understand correctly is the goal is to get these kind of questions in front of the supreme court so the supreme court can say hey no the executive actually has is the one that is carrying out the will of the people because the people elect the executive. The people do not elect the bureaucrats. So if the president says, hey, you got to go, then you got to go.
Starting point is 00:36:31 That's really it's really easy. Trump right now can just instruct administrators to start one by one firing people as individuals for individual reasons, requiring each and every one of them to file an individual lawsuit to question the legality of it. If Trump does a blanket termination and says, oh, you're all fired, it'll be one lawsuit and a judge will block it. Yeah. If administrators go, Jim, we're letting you go for X reason. Hey, you can't fire me. Well, take it up with your union and you can sue us. You do that 20,000 times. How many of them actually are able to file lawsuits? Right. Well, the unions blocked it today, it looks like, this thing. But then the unions also told the 60,000 people that took the deal that they...
Starting point is 00:37:12 It's 60 now. That they can't take it. Yeah. Yeah. But the union pushed back against the members saying that want to take it, threatening them. I fucking despise unions. Yep. Me too.
Starting point is 00:37:24 I'm not a fan of unions in general, but particularly public sector unions. What if you want to get out? They're threatening them. These people, they should be able to have that choice. They probably paid into this union whether they liked it or not. Absolutely. Public sector unions are literally arguing against the American people. It is totally wrong.
Starting point is 00:37:42 There should be no public sector unions. I don't like unions in general, but you can make an argument for private sector. Public sector, those should be illegal. Totally. All right, Pandage, did you want to add anything or shout anything out? I just want to add, well, my quick solution
Starting point is 00:37:56 would be just to literally put one agent per state, figure out what schools are efficient, and the ones that are deficient should literally take those 17,000 IRS people and that they added and just have them go through those budgets of all the failing schools. And then basically traction of schools and the union for having these failing schools, depending on their budgets. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:23 Right on. But also Tim, congratulations on the upcoming baby and uh you guys have a good night cheers man thanks for calling in all right next up we've got slick boss man what is up hey what's up uh something so i got a question for a few gun tubers came out with information i currently can't verify it but that usa sent large sums of money of gun control groups such as mom demand action every town in giffords if this if this is proven true and especially since those groups donate to democrats uh is that like a rico And should the DOJ investigate and possibly prosecute this? Regardless, yes, they should investigate and prosecute.
Starting point is 00:39:09 We don't need the underlying story about Moms for Gun Control or whatever. None of that. Literally, just start with, the DOJ should investigate USAID and prosecute. Thank you and have a nice day. Well, that was an easy call. Thanks for calling in. Is there anything you want to add or elaborate on? I just thought about, couldn't the three people that you let go because of that law,
Starting point is 00:39:37 couldn't they file a lawsuit with the state of West Virginia and then set precedent so that maybe it just wipes away those laws altogether? Get rid of them? Can you repeat that? The law, he means the people who were contractors. Yeah, the three people that were contractors, couldn't they file a lawsuit as plaintiffs
Starting point is 00:40:00 to basically set precedent to kind of get rid of those laws altogether across the United States? So in the government the government is a big undertaking. It costs a lot of money. But, I don't know. Something to think about.
Starting point is 00:40:21 Congratulations, Tim, on the marriage and child. Appreciate it, man. Cheers, man. Thanks for calling in. You're welcome. All right. And last up, we got... I can't tell you. Chinese... Well, it's pillbilly hollercrawler, but your name is
Starting point is 00:40:35 too long to read otherwise, so... Is it working? It is. We can hear you. Hello, Tim. I am a long time, first time since the Star God of Akkad video. So I have a question, mostly for you and Bratz, since you're both nerds. But can you hear me? what's the question okay so uh dragon age origins there was in the stone prisoner dlc a female dwarf that had been a golem 1,000 years ago. Basically a trans.
Starting point is 00:41:27 They could have used that as a story, but they did, it was like 15 years ago. But it was not like you're trans and my pronouns, after I was turned into a golem, my pronouns are now he, him. Modernity is its own problem within these types. It has to do with the modern take on language that ends up in a lot of these things that doesn't seem to add up to stories,
Starting point is 00:41:49 especially anything of any age like that, when it's supposed to be like something from a different time period. Yeah. Basically it was like, they didn't have that in their mind at all. It was the same thing. Feel feels there, right? Phil's here.
Starting point is 00:42:08 Hi. Has Phil seen Bad Batch? Bad Batch? Bad Batch. Star Wars. Star Wars Bad Batch? In the first scene of Bad Batch, they give everyone a chain code, which is a, what's it called? Social security number.
Starting point is 00:42:28 They tell them they, you're not allowed to use local currency. You have to use a central currency. You have to use the federal currency. You have to use empire credits. Yeah, that makes perfect sense. They confiscate guns. Austin says she is not trans.
Starting point is 00:42:49 You're not allowed to leave. She's a dwarf willingly trapped in a golem's body by keratin. It's crazy. Leftists, they seem to make stories, and they don't realize that they're rightists. stories and they don't realize that they're they're they're rightest but the sad thing about
Starting point is 00:43:09 that type of storytelling is there was a time like where there was like a a feeling of exploration especially like on network tv like there were old episodes of the x-files that you could absolutely not make today there's an episode in season one called Gender Bender, which if they tried to make today would be hilarious. It would blow the skulls off of everybody watching it because it would be considered so politically incorrect. But the point was, was like back then, whether it was video games, movies or television, is that writers. Let me introduce you to all in the family. Right. Exactly. The point is, like, if it's a show, if it's a show of any length of time, they had to come up with a certain number of ideas.
Starting point is 00:43:48 And that allowed them to explore different things that might be seen as politically incorrect. But at that time, because there wasn't really a centralized way for everybody to complain about it, writers got to take chances and take risks on things that either ended up really great or really awful. And what sucks today is that you're not allowed to take those, or I shouldn't say you're not allowed, you're disincentivized to take those risks because all of the companies, not just movies and television, but also video games, don't want to take the risks to offend people. I wanted to do a show, I pitched this to Shane Cashman, and I was like, we should make a TV show, Tales from the Inverted World.
Starting point is 00:44:24 And the premise is, there's a news company and the owner hires this reporter who is super conspiratorial and into crazy ass stories the editorial team doesn't like it because they're straight-laced liberal journalist types who are like i don't know why you work here and the owner is like you know he's flippant and he's an he's an investor owner so he doesn't really pay a lot of attention but he was like you're not firing the guy he he's he's he's he's reaching into an audience and into a space that we want someone to be active in and it's one guy i'm not giving you a whole department i'm giving you one guy and then the story would basically be like x files but but a journalist
Starting point is 00:45:02 so then you've got like mothman and other weird shit. That's great. And so it was like premised off of Tales from the Inverted World and the story Shane was doing. And I was like, we just need like $200,000 to make an episode and then maybe we can make a series, but probably too hard for us to do right now.
Starting point is 00:45:19 There's a great meme that came out. That would be an idea going forward. We could use a new like Twilight Zone type. Like X-Files. Oh, I was saying, not like an anthology series, but like X-Files.
Starting point is 00:45:31 Yeah. So it's like, he's hanging out in the office and it's kind of like Mulder. They don't like Mulder. He's the weird guy in the FBI, but he ends up finding crazy ass shit. Literally the first thing he says,
Starting point is 00:45:43 nobody down here, but the FBI is most unwanted. Yeah. That's Literally the first thing he says, nobody down here but the FBI's most unwanted. That's the first thing he says on the show. There was a great meme about Doge the other day. It says, Doge has uncovered two FBI agents still getting paid, and it's Richard Mulder and Scully. Nobody has seen them since 2018. Chinese cartoon collector, do you want to shout anything out?
Starting point is 00:46:05 Nope. Well, all right, then. Can't hear you, buddy. We're muted. He's not muted. There's no sound coming through. Oh, it's my thing.
