Starting point is 00:00:00 A National Guardsman saw an illegal immigrant stabbing people and he shot him. The illegal immigrant fled. This is a crazy story. And man, today's just an insane amount of news. I mean, we've been having a slow couple of weeks. And now it's just getting nuts. I mean, Israel fired over 300 drones and missiles at Israel. Most of them intercepted, although a handful, I believe
Starting point is 00:00:25 around five, did strike Israeli military targets in Israel. Israel is vowing to retaliate. Russia is warning the U.S. if they get involved, Russia will enter the war on the side of Iran. And then we have Donald Trump, the first ever criminal trial for a former president. And the judge warned him that if he doesn't show up for every day, he will go to jail. He can't even go see his son graduate. This, of course, has Trump. Trump gave a statement. He should be campaigning, but he can't because he is being kept in this this criminal proceeding. Now, the interesting thing is the charges against Trump would normally be a misdemeanor. And for reasons
Starting point is 00:01:05 that have not been disclosed and no one really knows why the DA in Manhattan said, nah, this time it's a felony because there's an underlying crime that no one knows about. And we're not charging him with and no one else's either. So when Trump says this is like a witch hunt, it's hard to think otherwise. So, oh man, we're gonna have to go through all of these stories. Plus, uh, Hannah Gutierrez Reed, the rust armor from the movie set where Alec Baldwin shot and killed that woman, was sentenced to 18 months. Which means Alec Baldwin, surely, should be going to prison any minute. We'll see. Before we get started, my friends, head over to castbrew.com and buy coffee.
Starting point is 00:01:39 Because it's really good coffee. Appalachian Nights, of course, is the most popular. Everyone loves it. But we do have other blends. We've got Rise with Roberto Jr. It's a light roast. Rise with Roberto Jr., it's a going away sale. If you use promo code, all caps, THEEND, you'll get it for seven bucks, which is like 60% off or something. So definitely pick up Re-Rise with Roberto Jr. We ordered a ton of these bags for Halloween. The coffee is brewed periodically, so it's not like all at once, but we do want to just kind of get rid of the Halloween blend. So the end is the promo code, buy it all. And then it's gone forever. And of course, when you support
Starting point is 00:02:14 cast brew, what we're doing, we're building a physical location in Martinsburg, West Virginia, and we are actively working on expanding into multiple locations already.

Starting point is 00:03:42 Joining us tonight to talk about all of this and so much more is Harmeet Dhillon. Yeah, happy to be here today. Who are you, Harmeet? What do you do? I am a lawyer. I'm the founder of the Center for American Liberty and the Dhillon Law Group. I've been practicing law for about 32 years now. And I'm a knitter. I knit the sweater that I'm wearing today. I'm debuting it in the media today on
Starting point is 00:04:05 your show. And I'm actively involved in a number of issues in the news. So I represent President Trump in multiple cases. I represented him in California with Stormy Daniels in the civil cases, won him a bunch of money there. And I'm following the current case with interest and have been honored to represent him in his campaign as well. It will be interesting, this criminal case against Trump right now, because it relates to Stormy Daniels, who owes Trump money. Owes him money thanks to the work that my firm did. About $600,000 was the judgments, and then she had a little bit against him. So net, she owes him several hundred thousand dollars
Starting point is 00:04:39 and has said she'll pay him over her dead body. And so, yeah, I think that's going to be some interesting impeachment testimony when she testifies in the criminal trial. The fact that she owes him a lot of money and has done so for many years is definitely motive to shape her testimony. It's going to be real interesting. Right on.
Starting point is 00:04:57 Well, thanks for hanging out. Libby Emmons is here. I'm Libby Emmons. I'm hanging out. I am the editor-in-chief of the Post Millennial. I'm glad to be on with her meet. I'm a big fan. I'm interested in your work, so glad to be here. Yeah, I think we last saw you at Turning Point.
Starting point is 00:05:10 Yeah, that's right. 2023, when I was running for RNC chair. That's right. So glad you're here. Really good to see you again. Ian Crossland, also very happy to be here. And we got Serge over to my right. Yo, hello, everybody. Good to see you guys. Hope you enjoy the show. Let's get into it. And just real quick, I mean, with Ronna McDaniel out, imagine if they just voted for you, you were there, they would have avoided this whole fiasco.
Starting point is 00:05:33 Well, I'm trying to be nice. It was a tense time there at the RNC. We do have new leadership there now. For me as a citizen, it's really life and death for many people what happens in this election coming up and so um you know how the rnc is run affects election integrity issues it affects our readiness to ballot harvest and things like that so i hope and pray that we're able to catch up to what the left has done over the next few months. Who's running it right now? We'll get into it.
Starting point is 00:06:07 We'll just jump into the news. We have this story from the Post Millennial. Illegal immigrant stabs two others, flees back to Mexico after being shot by National Guardsmen. The two who were stabbed received non-life-threatening injuries. So there's a lot of news over the weekend, of course. Iran striking Israel. We're currently waiting to see if Israel respond. But this story, of course, has been bubbling up.
Starting point is 00:06:37 And I think this one affecting our southern border and involving a National Guardsman shooting an illegal immigrant, I think, is is a I don't know. I mean, is this crossing the Rubicon or is this just to me it seems like we've gone from illegal immigrants attacking National Guard and then being let into the country to now National Guard have this is it we were hearing stories about the National Guard requesting the the the the ability to open fire on illegal immigrants if they need to and now it's happened so I'm I'm maybe this is just a flash in the pan nothing else happens but it certainly seems like conflict on the southern border is bubbling up. This could be a shot heard around the world kind of thing where the National Guard just shot a guy trying to break into the country. Well, and what does it mean for other people
Starting point is 00:07:18 who are trying to cross into the country? Are they going to be looking at this saying, I'm taking my life into my hands by approaching these National Guard and I need to be armed myself? You know, I mean, this guy was clearly armed. How would they know? Because they're like, you know, being small, going into the country and I'm not sure they're scanning Twitter. So I think it would take a while for for them to for that to filter back. And and also it depends on what the what the reaction of our government is. The last time we had something even close to this happened the national guard was castigated or you know our law enforcement
Starting point is 00:07:49 officials were castigated for allegedly using horse whips on which they were not these aliens which they were not and now i think when when you see um like suburban sunny san diego you see a boat pull up on the beach and dozens of people come out of it. I think the Overton window of Americans tolerance for what's happening at the border is actually shifting. Let's let's play. Right. Let's play this video. Actually, this is we have the video here.
Starting point is 00:08:13 Libs of TikTok posted it. This reportedly happened yesterday in Carlsbad, California. A group of mostly military age males invaded our country illegally via boat and then dispersed to the city in cars. Are any of them on the terror watch list? Do any of them have a criminal history? We don't know. We have no clue who is in our country. Take boat and then disbursed to the city in cars are any of them on the terror watch list do any of them have a criminal history we don't know we have no clue who is in our country take a look at this this is nuts they outright abandoned the boat there's a lot of people on that boat like a clown car watch like a clown car, watch this. It's like a clown car, it's crazy. Let's see, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. There's 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17. There still might be people climbing out.
Starting point is 00:08:58 Those guys could have like, explosives strapped to their chests. This has got to be like 18, 20 people on the one boat they abandoned it the crazy thing carlsbad is one of the wealthier areas that's what i'm saying is like you don't see that you see oh the tijuana border you see people coming over there you do not see this on the beaches of california that's like our rubicon as you say like that does not happen i may be mistaken because it's been you know 10 years since i covered this but during the drought in the 2010s carlsbad was one of the areas where the people were demanding the right to water their lawns during a drought oh yeah this is a wealthy
Starting point is 00:09:35 upscale coastal community and there are tech companies there now yeah it's an like this is not what anybody who's paying taxes there wants to see in their neighborhood i'm telling you are they gonna they're gonna vote for trump they going to they're going to vote for Trump? They have to. Well, I don't know about that. Let's not get crazy here. But I think people are not crazy. I mean, I can tell you in San Francisco, you know, the Karens are suddenly like, well,
Starting point is 00:09:58 what's going on? Like people are pooping on my doorstep and, you know, this is not cool. So people really are losing their tolerance when it's happening on their doorstep there's a wild viral video i don't have it pulled up but it's a lady who's like reaching her hand through a smashed window trying to take stuff out of a store that is crazy in sacramento yeah in sacramento and the cops ride by and stop and look at her and then they just leave oh that's they look at her for a minute and they yeah they just keep going now i don't i the video in the video i don't uh i don't know if she smashes the window but she's like rifling her through the window grabbing stuff
Starting point is 00:10:30 and then she walks walks away from the stairs and is like grabbing stuff in the front of the building moving bricks and the cops just look at her and then leave no question just okay she's good not getting involved yep you know you said in the intro that uh voting for trump for some people is life or for for some people is life or death i think for this country it's life or death that's what i meant to say is that we are every day seeing things we took for granted completely eroded i'm seeing the way that judges predictably used to rule just they're going the opposite direction for purely political reasons and so you know the rule of law is eroding on a daily basis in our country well here's a i mean this
Starting point is 00:11:10 is crazy the there's that apple river like we're jumping all over the place but there was that apple river story in wisconsin you see that one uh i was looking at i was listening to a law of self-defense we've he's been on the show um and he said uh i'm drawing a blank on his name forgive me uh you know if you're an older guy with a pacemaker you're surrounded by a bunch of people screaming at you attacking you you have a right to defend yourself and i'm thinking to myself well then why is he going to prison why did a judge convict him why or why did a jury or judge or whoever convict him i just see more and more uh i'm not a lawyer but it looks to me based on what i'm seeing in the courts that
Starting point is 00:11:45 it feels like this country is rapidly devolving into people i've described this among the political class the titanic has hit the iceberg so they're rushing to steal all the fine china they can and get into a lifeboat and leave before people realize the ship is sinking and so i see what appears to be judges where they're just either hyper-partisan, totally on board with whatever lie or whatever, you know, like everything against Trump or outright just don't know, don't care, justice doesn't matter, just get in my courtroom, bang the gavel, you're done. Yeah, well, what you're actually seeing is even before that, it's the prosecutors. So over the last two decades, Soros has managed to purchase the prosecutors
Starting point is 00:12:25 in major cities throughout the United States, including in places you wouldn't have expected. And the net result of that is that they usually ignore crime that affects most of us. And then they selectively prosecute crime for political purposes to shame people, to change the outcome of people's behavior. You're seeing that in Alvin Bragg's case this week in New York. You're seeing it in Philadelphia. You're seeing it in Wisconsin. Where we're going to be having the RNC meeting, the national convention in Milwaukee, is that kind of prosecutorial setup. So you wonder, if people attack us, if Antifa attacks people going to the convention, who's going to get prosecuted? Because I can guarantee you some of them are going to fight back. Well, we're planning on being at the RNC,
Starting point is 00:13:09 but the DNC is in Chicago. And there's nothing that would convince me to go to Chicago during the DNC. You saw the video from over the weekend. It was activists in Chicago learning how to say death to America, death to Israel in Farsi. Yeah. At a meeting that was designed to teach everyone how to disrupt the DNC. I mean, look, that's the other big story. I'm like trying to get through all these stories in the intro to the show. We had waves of pro-Palestine and some pro-Hamas protesters shutting down bridges and airports all across the country. It was a day of action. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:13:41 And I think it was something about how it might have been funded by the internet the um iranian revolutionary guard or whatever oh that would be crazy yeah isn't that sort of nuts but i mean this this we're seven seven and a half minutes into the first segment we've gone from national guardsman shoots illegal immigrant to crime in the streets now we're criminal prosecutions and now hamas and Iranian funded protests in the United States. Jeez, what happened this weekend? It's like a switch was flicked. To specify on this post-millennial article, did you write this about the-
Starting point is 00:14:11 No, I didn't. I think this was Tommy. It said that he stabbed two people. Yeah. The guy came across the border illegally and then he cut two people. Is that what happened? Yeah, he was stabbing. He was stabbing two people.
Starting point is 00:14:20 That's true. He put it in them. Yeah. The tip of the blade, that's a stab as opposed to a slash across which would cut um and then and then the guy opened fire on him after he saw him attempt murder so that it's not like he shot an illegal a criminal alien i mean technically he shot an attempted murderer in self-defense of others so there's a guy that kind of argument this was always the point at what point does the violence start? You know, like we've seen photos and videos of cartel guys with rifles smuggling humans across the border.
Starting point is 00:14:51 And then the then Republicans had that bill where they were requesting authorization for the National Guard to use lethal force if need be. A lot of concern that we would get to the point where there would be active conflict on the border. Now, this may be one crazy guy doing one crazy thing and sooner or later was bound to happen. But again, this is, you know, in the world, it's only possible until someone proves it's possible. There's quite literally a trick in skateboarding called impossible. Now, you don't have to know about anything about
Starting point is 00:15:20 skateboarding, but let me tell you this. There's a trick in skateboarding called the impossible, which is one of the most commonly done maneuvers ever. And it was because back in the day, one of the big names in the industry said doing this trick would be impossible. So then some guy did it. And now it's so common, children do it. My point is, people think it's not possible to get to the point where the National Guard is opening fire on waves of criminal aliens storming the gates or something like that.
Starting point is 00:15:48 Now we have a National Guardsman shooting a guy, shooting an illegal immigrant. It is entirely possible this escalates. It is entirely possible the National Guard shoots someone else. And that's the concern. Is this that breaking point where it's like, oh man, like our border is so damaged now. We actually just had a National Guardsman shoot a guy. What happens if this gets worse? What happens if now the cartel is showing up saying, hey, if you bring someone and that person acts up, they're going to shoot at you. You need to be prepared. What does that mean? Do they wear body armor now? Do they change their tactics? Does this result in the escalation? It could do. I keep wondering if we've already passed that point that in history books
Starting point is 00:16:25 they're going to say you know this was the assassination of archduke ferdinand you know i keep wondering about that could be was it this was it iran shooting nobody knows man israel was it october 7th was it before that was the was it the botched withdrawal of afghanistan you know was it the was it was it biden unfreezing the 16 billion dollars to Iran? Let's let's pull up the next story because, wow, talk about the news from Axios. Israel vows to retaliate against Iran for missile attacks. I'll give you the quick version over the weekend. You may have seen what happened. Uh, 300 over 300 drones and missiles were fired from Iran, from Houthi rebels and other,
Starting point is 00:17:05 uh, uh, militia groups at Israel directly flying over Iraq and Jordan. Uh, Jordan, uh, I believe their air force moved to intercept some of these. There were a multi, uh, multiple layers of, uh, Israeli defense to take out many of these rockets and missiles. The U S deployed ships, which actually, I believe, also intercepted some of these. Around five actually struck Israel. Now, there was some reporting earlier. People were saying that Biden's administration had provided guidance to Iran. The story was that through Turkey, the Biden administration warned Iran that there were, you know, if they cross a certain line, you would, that would be like a red line or something. But the U S is denying they in any way gave any
Starting point is 00:17:49 advanced information or anything like that. And I think that's a silly point, unless we have more direct evidence as to what was said, because Trump had also threatened Iran. If you do X, we will obliterate you, which is like setting the guidelines. I don't think that that matters. What matters is that Iran directly attacked Israel, nation on nation. Israel is now vowing to retaliate. Biden has already said support for Israel is ironclad. We'll defend them. Vladimir Putin warned the U.S. not to get involved and said they would back Iran if this escalates. So, of course, following this, World War Three was trending again. Now, here's the thing. Libya was just mentioning a second ago that, you know, where War III was trending again. Now, here's the thing. Libya was just
Starting point is 00:18:25 mentioning a second ago that, you know, where's this Franz Ferdinand moment? What's this shot heard around the world? And the issue is it could have happened six months ago. It could have been Ukraine. We honestly have no idea. We're in the thick of it. We won't know until 50 to 100 years from now when they write the history books on World War III. Some people are saying it was when Israel attacked the embassy in damascus that was an attack on iranian soil because that's the embassy and then you have other people saying that's because an iranian general who was facilitating the hamas attacks on israel was there and he was a target in their active war against hamas it's impossible to know when this
Starting point is 00:19:00 started i don't know i didn't know you could declare war on a group of people that's a weird new thing that never existed before 9-11's war on terror war on drugs it used to be a national a sovereignty would declare war on another sovereignty there were no war on terror war against this type of person yeah these these like wars to get the guy that thinks that way is like what the hell but what are you talking about what are you talking about here what does that have to do with going to war with hamas like tomorrow nine new guys could join hamas then what does the war just go on tomorrow again too well what about in a year if more guys join they're at war with what if more guys join what if the war causes more people to join hamas then they just keep fighting forever is that the life we're talking specifically
Starting point is 00:19:40 about gaza and hamas is the government of gaza yeah they're a government of a territory right so israel is at war with another government well then what are the dudes from hamas doing in other countries like aren't there people like the heads of hamas and pakistan living healthily and other countries why are they not taking them out if that's what they want to do because they don't want to die in israel's attacks on gaza they're they're cowards they're putting their own people at risk, and they are sitting in five-star hotels. Why doesn't the Israeli government take them out with drones if they're in foreign countries and they're the targets?
Starting point is 00:20:12 Attack foreign countries? Harboring terrorists, yeah. Then you're attacking countries with their own military allegiances with their neighbors. That escalates war. That is an escalation, which is, I think, they're trying to phase that kind of escalation. The United States has military personnel in other countries doing the exact same thing.
Starting point is 00:20:31 So, but I agree the U S can and should be talking with say like cutter and other, other countries and saying, those guys need to be brought out because they're, they're escalating this war. I don't know exactly what's going on there. Maybe there is something, maybe there isn't something.'s not so easy to say israel just goes into cutter and then kills people they that that would be an act of war on on on these other countries
Starting point is 00:20:52 they're in like five star they're like they're like in the four seasons and places like that they're in the fancy hotels and these big towers there's no way to target them with a drone without killing a bunch of other people have there been extradition attempts yeah that i'm sure there have been discussions about that but i don't know anything about it i think it's a good point that the u.s could be doing more i don't i don't know exactly what is going on but what i can say is in the bigger picture asking will this be world war three i don't know i mean nato's at war with russia and ukraine it's possible that in 20 years they're like oh world war three started when when when Russia invaded the Donbass. It was the, or it was the ousting of Yanukovych.
Starting point is 00:21:30 They'll say, oh man, the ousting of Yanukovych resulted in the fall of Ukraine. You go read a history book. This is really amazing. You read, you read Wikipedia, you read encyclopedia, and it will say things like in 1941 so and so did this by 1943 this is what happened they're like yo that was two years that was two years and these history books just jump because that's what they think mattered it may be as simple as with the ousting of yanukovych in ukraine opening the door to creating a power vacuum u.s uh nat NATO interests began vying for power in Kiev, resulting in Russia invading the Donbass to secure a land bridge to Crimea, igniting World War III.
Starting point is 00:22:11 It could very simply be when the president fled, World War III started. Although now that we have a better understanding of how history books are written, we know that it's maybe not necessarily what they think actually happened, but there were perhaps lobbying interests as well. We've seen lobbying interests in American publishing, downplaying the concept of jihad, downplaying the atrocity of 9-11, and saying really negative things about Christians and about Judaism,
Starting point is 00:22:40 and trying to equivocate terrorism with Christianity and Judaism and balancing that out because of oppressor colonialism and things like that. So in a lot of ways, what it says in the history books is going to be entirely dependent on who wins this culture war that we've been in the throes of for at least a decade now. Yeah, that's where my head's at too. Yeah, I would agree with that, that the historians of yore
Starting point is 00:23:07 who are just trying to get to the facts, they don't exist anymore and everything is polarized by the mainstream media. And you have prominent leaders in our country today who deny that there was a Russia collusion hoax that happened in 2016, which is why anyone even knows anything about Ukraine. Two thirds of the American public wouldn't know anything about Ukraine if it didn't have to do with the Russia-Ukraine issues dating back to the 2016 election.
Starting point is 00:23:36 And then you look at like the Yuri Berliner situation where he was writing about NPR, you know, the journalist at NPR who's saying npr is hopelessly biased and he's one no duh yeah you know no duh but like he's one of these old school guys right who believes maybe we could just get back to basic journalism and it's like guy that that has been naive wikipedia says spy gate is a conspiracy theory. Yeah, of course. That Trump was spied on as a conspiracy theory. But even though it's been adjudicated and it is a fact. Wikipedia is, of course, garbage and anybody who cites it is foolish. Well, the current CEO of NPR used to run Wikipedia.
Starting point is 00:24:16 That's right. She got $700,000 a year to do it. Well, it was like $700,000. Almost $800,000. Like $799,000. Something ridiculous. Yeah. And by the way she wants
Starting point is 00:24:25 us to believe she walks past the people in first class and notes their white maleness that's right i guess the question is uh what do you guys think's gonna happen do you think israel will retaliate is it going to drag the u.s in then russia gets dragged in and then china moves on taiwan during the distraction and uh world war three everybody you did have gold hey is the price of gold right you did have the u.s you had biden say that um israel any any retaliation by israel would not be supported by the u.s and you also had israel say that they would retaliate so that's sort of an interesting spot biden said we would not yeah assist israel yeah well he said all kinds of things depends on what time of day right um And who's speaking for him.
Starting point is 00:25:05 But Israel has so far successfully, and they would say that's an air quotes, defended themselves. But they can't live like that, having the fear of that 24 hours a day. And that's why I'm sure they are going to take some targeted responsive action. I think if we just sit, if we sit back and just narrate and watch, it'll be World War III, hell, nuclear, everything will die. It will all come to an end. But if we get active and create new cultural endeavors,
Starting point is 00:25:37 people around the world will start overthrowing their totalitarian regimes. The Chinese will create their republic again. It'll have to start from the bottom up, and it's got to come from inspiration of young people i i don't i do have hope for the young people i don't disagree in in in the general concept of starting a new culture to try and change things but i do believe that like you know the car we're driving in is shooting straight off the edge of the cliff now it's not a question, can we stop the car from flying off the cliff?
Starting point is 00:26:05 It's, are our seatbelts on? And for those of us that are, that's probably a bus, actually. For those of us that are there and expect to be roughed up in the tumble down the side of this cliff after the bus crashes and shatters into a million pieces and a good portion of us who are paying attention
Starting point is 00:26:20 and have prepared to survive, what do we do next? And so that culture is going to be very important. And I agree with you on that. But I, but you know, simple version is, you know, Iran attacked Israel. You can make the argument Israel attacked Iran's embassy, but like there's a war going on. Iran is actively involved in supporting Hamas in Gaza. Israel is at war with them targeting their leadership, which is Iran. Iran fires from their territory into Israeli territory. There is no, wait, guys, let's change the culture overnight to stop Israel from retaliating against Iran and igniting a World War III.
Starting point is 00:26:54 Maybe, maybe not. I don't know. I don't know how things work in reality, man. So I used to think it was just so literal that everything was like, next step, we'll create the next step. We'll create the next step. And therefore, the next thing will happen. And now I'm realizing like things are more,
Starting point is 00:27:06 they're more sporadic than that. Your behavior changes your entire environment, which has resounding implications on their entire environments. And it can like overnight things. People can have dreams and like change their feelings and things. So I have more faith that it's a more esoteric path.
Starting point is 00:27:20 Well, what's the possibility that, you know, Israel comes out with a statement saying in the interest of not igniting a an escalation which could lead to nuclear conflict israel will take the honorable position of bolstering its defenses and not retaliating on iranian soil is that is that possible i don't know for your government to survive i mean yeah i doubt it well apparently not realistic politically i mean i'm sure that I understand that there is a meeting today. I don't know what the outcome of that was of all the different political parties in Israel. Probably looking for some kind of consensus on what is the appropriate step. And there don't seem to be a lot of different shades of peaceniks over there who want to do nothing in response to this escalation by Iran.
Starting point is 00:28:02 The Iranian regime, I should say. And what's surprising to me as someone who's looked at history is, you know, we all lived in my youth in the Cold War, also living in fear of nuclear war. And then the people in the Eastern Bloc overthrew their oppressors and the world changed. And so now the military folks have to figure out some other targets and all of that. But the Iranian people have lived under this repressive regime for so many decades now. And that would be the simple solution, right? The Iranian people change their government. Boom.
Starting point is 00:28:37 Gold is skyrocketing. And I don't know, a lot of people, you want to pull this up, Serge? Yeah, so we have the gold chart and it's been pretty stable around $2,000 for quite some time. How far back can we go? We're back five years. You can see here in 2019, it was at 12. Then it went up to two.
Starting point is 00:28:57 Stayed generally in this area going down a little bit, but now it's up to 23, 28. I have no idea what that means. I don't know. People are just pointing out gold is shooting up and it may be that people are concerned about what's up to 2328. I have no idea what that means. I don't know. People are just pointing out gold is shooting up and it may be that people are concerned about what's going to happen to the U.S. dollar for a variety of reasons, not just World
Starting point is 00:29:11 War Three. Right. Yeah. But let's let's do this. Let's jump to the next story. We have this one from the Postmillennial once again. Pro-Palestinian agitators block traffic at Chicago O'Hare Airport to protest Boeing U.S. funding of war in Gaza.
Starting point is 00:29:25 But it wasn't just in Chicago. It was all over the country. So in a coordinated effort, it would seem far left pro-Palestine protesters and even many pro-Hamas. Yes, the left is going to say, no, you can't literally screaming death to America at these protests. you can't say literally screaming death to america at these protests you have a coordinated effort to shut down in in to damage in some way economics maybe they don't intentionally these people aren't thinking like i'm gonna hurt the economy but i think the what was it like the golden gate was
Starting point is 00:29:58 was five hours backed up in both directions there was the golden gate there was some issues on the brooklyn bridge seattle c SeaTac as well. Yeah. There was an issue also in a bridge in Newburgh, I think, just north of New York City, a little ways up the Hudson. Yeah. And this is something that activists are planning for the whole week, you know, shut it down for Gaza for the whole week. So it's kind of wild to me that Iran launches 300 drones and missiles at israel and then the far left immediately runs out in support of or in opposition to israel yeah but that doesn't surprise me at all that's that's the status quo of the left culture for years now it's just sort of uh the mask is no
Starting point is 00:30:38 longer on their faces you know it's interesting maybe it varies by city and you mentioned that there might be some foreign funding for this but i can can tell you in the Bay area, there's no need for foreign funding for this kind of protest. There are rent a mob losers. And I swear, if you, if you, if you drilled in with a drone on who was there, it's the same people who were there for occupy wall street.
Starting point is 00:30:58 It's the same people who were there for black lives matter. It's the same people who were there for whatever cause du jour of the left. Trans women are women. They're Chinese. They're like, you know, like they're all kinds of rent-a-mob people. So I think that's what it is in the Bay Area. There's just a mob of just malcontents who someone pays a small amount of money to show up for any given left-wing cause.
Starting point is 00:31:19 We call them the tourists. That's what we called them during Occupy because we noticed this strange pattern of the same organizers weren't just showing up all over the country but they were in spain they were in turkey and they were in china right and so we started saying yeah how does that hippie anarchist guy sleeping in a park have money to go to turkey and they were in turkey for quite some time when i sued antifa over attacking our client andy no um some of the characters who were involved in the mob that attacked him showed up fomenting antifa riots in other parts of the country they were clearly well funded not ragtag not from the heart this is a underground militia attacking americans all over the country so a couple weeks ago i was talking about with the illegal immigrants storming the border
Starting point is 00:32:05 and attacking national guardsmen i fear that we are getting to the point where conservatives finally break confidence in government i would argue that conservatives are the only group of people that are actually maintaining the u.s government right now in that they have confidence in it the far left completely disregards it. Default liberals march in lockstep with the leftist activists, whether they know it or don't, and their state governments, which are defying federal law, allowing criminal aliens to invade the border. Then you have conservatives who are saying, yes, sir. Thank you, sir. Back the blue. Oh, that dang old government. Meanwhile, Antifa firebombs federal buildings and there's mostly no response. I mean, you look at January
Starting point is 00:32:45 6th, insanity. You look at May 29th, nothing. You look at Seattle, you look at the takeover of these cities, nothing. So my fear is that with these attacks on the border, you get to the point where people on the right start saying, it's not an issue of attacking federal buildings or storming the gates. It's an issue of there's no government anymore. Right. Law enforcement is illegitimate. They'll arrest you for fake reasons. They're basically clown costumes at this point. There's no respect for it. My fear is that we get to the point where confidence in government is shattered in the minds of the right. And thus, though it would be in a different way, the right begins to act in a certain way, like Antifa in disregard for government authority.
Starting point is 00:33:26 Well, I don't know how long it's going to take to reach that point. I hope never. But I will tell you that this week's debate over reauthorization of 702 is exactly that. You see a very deep schism in the right on this issue. And I've been tweeting about it because I'm more on the libertarian side on these issues. I thought the Patriot Act was a huge mistake and it was. And today conservatives are falling hook, line and sinker. The conservatives in Congress for these quote unquote intelligence briefings, they'll tell you the sky will fall if you have to go get a warrant from a judge. Oh, we don't have enough judges. Oh, there's like so many, oh, there's already one warrant that was issued. And I know I'm going to piss off some of my friends in Congress. They've
Starting point is 00:34:06 been texting me and saying, Harmeet, what are you doing? You're crazy, you know. But this is the schism. People no longer trust on the right that our government, the FBI, the CIA, the intelligence services, even the police in some cases are going to quote unquote do the right thing. And that is very dangerous because then you're wondering to protect your family who's gonna protect my family i mean you know in san francisco people have guns in their homes now they didn't they didn't have that five years ago this is a real problem you look at the issue of uh daniel penny and that's why i fear that we are we are we could get to that point where the right just says there's no government daniel penny there's a there we've got uh how many slashings in new york oh there's been so many people getting thrown killed killed on the subway tracks it is it is it we have become
Starting point is 00:34:53 in a way in cities particularly numb to violence it is really um a problem and insensitive to the suffering of our neighbors and more insular in that sense well you don't even know your neighbors you have no idea who with with the uh the the apple river story is particularly important in that it's a regular person i remember you know 20 or so years ago when they were saying terrorism you got to be worried about the terrorism that's why we need the the patriarch and all that the reports were, no, they'll strike small towns, the terrorists. They'll come after, you know, Bumpkinville in the far suburbs, you know, because they want you to fear no matter where you are, the terrorists will come for you. They want to make sure that everyone feels it. And so what I fear now, the direction that we're going,
Starting point is 00:35:40 is that with the Apple River story, it's a regular guy who's surrounded by a bunch of young people screaming and yelling shove him smack him knock him to the ground he tries to stand up they smack him and then he pulls out a knife he fights back he goes to prison we have more and more stories like this this is why the car writtenhouse story was so important. And this is years ago. If you cannot defend yourself from mobs, and we are now in the place where it's becoming more and more that you cannot. We had the story out of Milwaukee where a guy's house, this is a couple years ago, BLM protesters were outside. The same organizers had been involved in another protest, which resulted in the arson twice of a home. So this guy knows who these guys are in front of a house screaming.
Starting point is 00:36:25 There's like dozens. And he brandishes a shotgun. They call the police. BLM calls the police. The cops show up, pull him out of his house and arrest him. And before that happened, I was warning people. If the mob comes to your house and demands that you be arrested, the police will show up and say, what do we do?
Starting point is 00:36:43 We've got 100 people threatening violence and one guy sitting on his couch watching a game. Like the McCloskey. Arrest the guy in the house. It'll be easier. We don't got to worry about violence and they'll all cheer for it. And that's what they do. It's like Fahrenheit 451. The McCloskey is a good example.
Starting point is 00:37:00 The protesters break on a private property. These people are legally armed and they get criminally charged. At some point, I fear the right is just going to say the police are clearly just a leftist criminal mafia enforcing the left. If you're Daniel Penny, you go to jail. If you're Daniel Perry, you go to jail. That was the Austin guy who had to do with the rifle come up to his car. Not allowed to defend yourself.
Starting point is 00:37:22 You go to jail. He was pointing a rifle at him. Well, he had the rifle at low ready, raising up well it was right there right a far left mob associated with organized factions who have shot and killed people before had shot people in provo utah and this guy sees a dude with a rifle walking up raising it at low ready guy okay so i won this this one simple trick could turn this around which is conservatives investing in electing conservative prosecutors it used to be the case that all prosecutors were conservative i mean who wants to represent the man except for someone who believes in law and order
Starting point is 00:37:57 but with a relatively low amount of money i'm talking about hundreds of thousands of dollars to elect a DA, you can change this country. And so the cops are reacting. They're not themselves leftists, but they have become demoralized by two things. One is defund the police. Okay. So to keep your job, you have to kind of be politically correct. And number two is why should I arrest criminals when the Marxist DA isn't going to prosecute them? So those two factors have severely curtailed the effectiveness of the police, demoralized them, strengthened the establishment types in there that just want to go along, get along. And the result is a decreased quality of life. Now, I see so much money. One of the big things that frustrates me on
Starting point is 00:38:41 the conservative side is I see so much money, tens of millions of dollars annually poured into congressional campaigns that are in no way in hell going to win. I mean, I can name some, I don't want to embarrass anybody, but $10 million at a time for people who are in blue districts. If a fraction of that money was spent electing a district attorney in that same blue district, which by the way, a lot of Democrats would vote for because people want law and order in their communities, even Democrats. We could change this country, but we have to get organized that way and get the grift out of our political side. What I would disagree with you on in the police area is that. Who are these cops who gleefully arrest Daniel Penny?
Starting point is 00:39:20 So it's one thing to say, I can't arrest this criminal. They're gonna let him go anyway. It's another thing to be like, well know daniel penny did nothing wrong he's a good samaritan and a hero but i'll gladly be the one to arrest him that that i do not believe it's simply cops being demoralized i think many of the cops have been fired removed i believe the system is growing increasingly corrupt we're talking about new york city where the police leadership is politically appointed they're not going to let defiant cops stay so what you end up with is cops who will stand there as you know sacramento a
Starting point is 00:39:52 woman is seen rifling through a smashed window and the cops are just like not not going to get involved in that one but you know it is i call it a negative pressure environment law-abiding citizens namely conservatives will gladly with smiles on their faces, talk to the cops, give all the cops the information, everything they need. The best example being New York and the Proud Boys have brought up 8000 times in the past week. You're familiar with this, right? Antifa and the Proud Boys fight. Antifa refuses to talk to the cops. The Proud Boys shake the hands of the officers and give them their information. And then the cops smile, arrest the Proud Boys and put them in prison for four years. This is the negative pressure environment where cops are like, if I arrest the leftist, they'll fight me. The conservative will
Starting point is 00:40:33 get on their knees and smile as I beat them. Well, I was in the mob in 2016 in San Jose when I did the Pledge of Allegiance at a Trump rally. We leave the Trump rally and there's 250 cops there. Supposedly, my husband and I are shaking the hands of the cops saying, thank you for your service. Turn the corner, there's a mob. And the police stood there and watched these American citizens, taxpayers, exercising their first amendment rights, get viciously assaulted. I sued the San Jose Police Department in the city of San Jose. And it was shocking to me. That was the turning point for me when I realized, at least in big cities, blue cities, you cannot count on the police to come to
Starting point is 00:41:09 your aid. And that's happening all over the country now, not just in blue cities. And one of the most important things, certainly we can excuse some suburban police departments. We can excuse many sheriff's departments with elected police leadership, but conservatives need to be anti big blue city cop. One hundred percent. If you're a blue city cop, you are persona non grata, the same as the left. There is no quarter. You want to come into our coffee shop. We're not going to serve you the same as they do, because what happens then, and I'm talking
Starting point is 00:41:38 about the politically appointed departments where a Democrat appoints a police chief who makes sure that only the people are marching in line with them, because then you'll get a guy who's robbing liquor stores and the cops will be like, what's the point of arresting him? Then you'll get a good Samaritan like Penny and they'll say, now that's a guy I can arrest. Stop supporting them. They need to be told you can't do this job. No one will have your back. No one will support you. I'm not sure I agree with that.
Starting point is 00:42:02 I mean, there's a mixture of good cops and and cops who are how do you feel like their hands are tied where's a single cop to say leave daniel penny alone how many cops were there no no i'm talking about right now when you've got cops marching him to and from court or how about steve baker and the fbi all of these and fine federal federal law enforcement can say it's different, but you take a look at, there's always going to be cops in New York City who will gladly arrest the good guy. And then there's the good cops who will stand by and watch and take a paycheck. If you are part of a criminal organization that is committing crimes, I have no sympathy
Starting point is 00:42:42 for you. CBP has agents on the border trafficking children into sex slavery the cbp agent in west virginia is in the same book as far as i'm concerned well that that leads me to another legal issue which um i think people it's arcane but it is conservative judges who created the doctrine of qualified immunity that makes it impossible for citizens who are at the receiving end of police mistakes or worse to sue them and hold them accountable. And that is an outrage. And I have sued the police time and again and federal police and prison guards for different crimes they've committed against citizens. And time and again, they get away with it because
Starting point is 00:43:20 of qualified immunity. They get the benefit of the doubt. That's not in the constitution. It's not even in statute. It's made up by judges and conservatives perpetuated. It's a big problem on the right. I think when it comes to places like New York city, and again, I'll stress this. I had, I've had suburban police departments that were fantastic. Uh, our sheriffs out here are great. Talk to us, like work with us when we have issues and help us out quite a bit when it comes to New York City. So long as conservatives keep saying. Well because of the good cops that may be here.
Starting point is 00:43:51 Which aren't speaking out or doing anything positive. As far as I'm concerned. I won't bad mouth the department. Which is putting the boot on the neck of good Samaritans. It's like nah look. If there are no. If like the police union of New York should have come out. And issued a statement. Daniel Penny is a hero and this is wrong.
Starting point is 00:44:06 Yeah, I agree with that too. And they should have held a press conference. Our city streets are becoming corrupt, crooked. We are getting the blame because we can't arrest it. No, nothing. I see these photos of NYPD dragging this guy away in cuffs. And I'm like, what? That's remarkable to me.
Starting point is 00:44:21 If I was a cop, and this is why I would never be. And they said, hey, I want you to cuff that guy and this is why i would never be and they said hey i want you to cuff that guy and bring him and i'd be like no fire me it's not happening the thing about the thing about the uh losing confidence in police and losing confidence in the institution of the government it is part of a continued line of losing trust in our institutions across the board right we no longer have trust in the educational system to actually educate our children at any age, at kindergarten, you know, through college. We have absolutely no faith in those institutions. We don't have faith in the institutions of, you know, of any of the museums, you know, any of the cultural institutions, any of the media
Starting point is 00:45:01 institutions, any of the not-for-profit institutions. We have NGOs on the border that are working to help, you know, bring illegal immigrants across the border. Yeah. They're doing that. So if conservatives are losing trust in government, it's really just continued dominoes falling. I want to jump to the story, and then I have a question for everybody. It's from Mediaite.
Starting point is 00:45:31 Judge warns Trump he will be jailed if he doesn't show up to court every day of hush money trial trump wanted to go see his uh his son graduate he will not be allowed to do this trump will not be allowed to campaign this this uh trial is expected to last about a month and a half now the question i have before we get into all the nitty gritty of this trial for everybody is, do you think that if Trump doesn't show up, do you believe that the police departments in New York City will defy orders to arrest Trump or will they gleefully and smile and say, I'm the one who arrested Donald Trump?
Starting point is 00:46:02 I think they'll love it. They'll get free beers forever at their local pub. That's right. Some of them will. It just takes enough to arrest him. They'll definitely find cops to do that. What's interesting is we're not going to put the Secret Service in jail. Right.
Starting point is 00:46:15 But I imagine in New York, the response people would say is, well, of course, the cops in New York would want to arrest Trump. The whole legal system is out to get him. It's all biased and corrupt. The prosecutors are out to get him. The judges are out to arrest Trump. The whole legal system is out to get him. It's all biased and corrupt. The prosecutors are out to get him. The judges are out to get him. You think the New York City dwelling police officers
Starting point is 00:46:28 aren't as anti-Trump as everybody else? Maybe they're slightly better. But we saw around 30 police officers defend Bill de Blasio when he illegally stole taxpayer money to paint Black Lives Matter
Starting point is 00:46:40 in front of Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue. Just to stick it to Trump. Stealing tax money to do it. And the cops with smiles on their faces defended his right to do this and protected it. If Donald Trump did not go through the proper channels, absolutely not. And cops were happy to uphold the criminal activity. If Donald Trump was found in contempt, all the police officers in the correctional, all
Starting point is 00:47:02 the guards, all the cops, they would all gleefully arrest and throw him in lockup. And if they were told to beat him, they'd do it too. You're not going to be able to come to me and say, oh, a cop, are you kidding? It's New York City. The judges are doing it. Every judge Trump has had. Now you've got a judge telling Trump he can't see his son's graduation.
Starting point is 00:47:22 The charges in this case are a misdemeanor. For some unknown reason, Braga said this time it's a felony. Well, and a lot of the misdemeanor counts, the 34 misdemeanor counts, are the same count over again because they give them a count for the invoice. They give them a count for the recording of the invoice as a legal fee, recording of a payment as a legal fee, and the recording of the receipt as a legal fee. So each one of those, that's three counts. It would be the exact same payment,
Starting point is 00:47:49 but it's three counts. So it's, you know, like if Trump's, if the Trump organization had made the payment to Michael Cohen, what was it? You said $134,000. If there had been one invoice, one check, and one receipt, it would only be three counts. That's all they would have.
Starting point is 00:48:05 But these were retainer payments. Retainer payments, exactly. They were totally $400,000. They were a period of time. And that's actually the defense argument, which is there's not a payoff. That they were regular payments, yeah. These are regular payments for services rendered in the course of business. And did the payments start before Starbuck Nails had been paid off?
Starting point is 00:48:22 Well, Michael Cohen was already Trump's lawyer and had been representing him on other stuff. So there was a general ongoing legal relationship. It wasn't just related to the Stormy Daniels matter. Right, right. My question is, if this is a regular reoccurring retainer payment, did the retainer payments begin before or after Stormy Daniels?
Starting point is 00:48:42 I think they're only targeting these retainer payments that happen after the fact. I think in other cases cases he was paid off in different ways for his services but i guess what i'm asking is is is it a static retainer that's been the same the whole time um or did it change i think it did change and of course there was an additional need for legal services at the same time as well so the the issue i see is pending some like evidence that uh certainly trump would already have to have access to that shows trump explicitly saying to cohen i want you to pay her off to shut her up but don't worry i'll hide the money through retainers i don't know how you prove this well you can't prove it and that's's why the Department of Justice, Alvin Bragg's predecessor, everyone who looked at it, the Federal Election Commission experts, everyone has said this cannot be charged as an election crime or a crime at all because you can't prove it. and Michael Cohen. Michael Cohen has pled to lying in court. And so Stormy Daniels has an affidavit out there saying,
Starting point is 00:49:46 none of this happened. This is all lies. I never had a relationship with Donald Trump. How can you prove that case? A legitimate prosecutor would never bring this case. Only a prosecutor goring a political ax would bring this case. And weren't the payments made to um a media company
Starting point is 00:50:05 instead wasn't it like a catch and kill situation there's a number of different factual scenarios in there yeah do you think trump gets convicted you only need one juror so the question is which who is who is the jury right you need one juror to hang the jury and so that's really what's going on here now the judge has stacked the deck there by allowing dozens of questions of the jury pool that ask whether they support Trump, but has eliminated questions about whether you support Biden. He's also eliminated all Orthodox Jews from serving on this jury by ensuring that trial goes, most trials in most courts around the country, they're dark on Fridays,
Starting point is 00:50:46 meaning the judge attends to other business injunctions, hearings, settlement conferences. He's bringing the one day a week on Wednesday, which screws over President Trump from holding rallies on the weekends that he likes to do. So he cuts into his rally time and no Orthodox Jew can serve on a jury where it's all day court on this.
Starting point is 00:51:05 I'm just I'm just wondering why Trump is complying. Well, what can you do? He's going to be in contempt of court. He's in a legal process. He doesn't have a choice. I do not believe this is a legal process. And I think it's only considered one because Trump agrees. So when you have what is not a criminal charge, when the DOJ and the FEC say this is not criminal,
Starting point is 00:51:22 there's no evidence of a crime being committed to the point where the Fed said no. And you have everything you described. I suppose the only thing is Trump is like, no, no, we'll go because I'm going to get airtime. I'm going to be the number one story in the country over and over and over again. They're not going to prove it. It's going to make me look like a victim. I think the only strategy is that Trump's like, it benefits me. Why not? Well, look, I think he's making the most of it, certainly politically, but nobody wants to be in this situation. And I hope that they can seat a good jury where one person is honest and says, this is BS. It's possible. It's happened. Doesn't a hung jury mean they try him again? Maybe, but once Jeopardy has attached, he can't be tried twice for the same crime.
Starting point is 00:52:06 That's not a hung jury. That's failure to convict. Hung jury is when they don't reach a decision. So if only one juror refuses. That's right. In a criminal case in New York. Oh, then they can't convict him. Then they cannot try him again.
Starting point is 00:52:19 Interesting. Yes. But so what would happen if it so it's 12 jurors. One of them says he's not guilty and 11 say he is. What would they report then to the judge? We've been unable to come to a decision or it's not unanimous. How would they report that? Well, they don't have 12 people to convict.
Starting point is 00:52:42 The judge would first instruct them to go back and try again and try again. That's what this judge would do. How long would they do that? There's no manual for that. The judge has to make his own determination as to whether it's possible for this jury to reach a verdict. Would they then come out and say, Your Honor, we have been unable to come to a verdict? Well, that one juror may be able to convince other people as well. I guess my question is, do you need a unanimous not guilty or unanimous guilty? You need a unanimous guilty to convict him. So if one person refuses, is it just he's not guilty?
Starting point is 00:53:11 He's not guilty. The jury would come out and say, we find the defendant not guilty. When the jury is done with its deliberations, when people are ready to go home, you know, it's not guilty. But so just to clarify, if one juror says not guilty, the foreman reports to the judge, we have found the's not guilty but so just to clarify if one juror says not guilty the foreman reports to the judge we have found the defendant not guilty um yeah i don't that i don't know the niceties of new york law on that but my understanding is one juror refusing to convict in this case results in a not guilty verdict because after all deliberations are concluded right what i'm wondering is how would you get a hung jury then hung jury is they come back and they say we don't have an agreement right but if you have 11 saying yes and one saying no isn't that well what happens at the
Starting point is 00:53:55 end of the day is they get worn down and you know they they tend to reach some kind of a verdict yeah i kind of feel like in new york they're gonna say guilty yeah well i i like i said you need one you need one yeah is it like after if the judge was like go back re-deliberate three days go by if the judge is like we're coming back next week all week until you guys get it is that unethical well at a certain point people are gonna you know peace out of that right you know he's given them a certain period of time of this trial, and people have gone to their bosses, gone to their lives. And one thing to keep in mind, there are two alternates as well.
Starting point is 00:54:36 So there's actually 14 people who are going to be seated. And so what happens in a really long trial is you risk losing jurors during that process. And so it has been the case where a juror in week six of a trial leaves, they're like, I'm sorry, I'm sick, my wife is sick, my boss needs me or whatever. And then one of the alternates comes in. So they do have a fail safe for that. But I've had trials where that happens. If you go down to 11 jurors, is the case going to be retried from the top? If you go down to 11 jurors and you don't have 12, yes. And the juror can just leave whenever they want? No, they can't leave whenever they want.
Starting point is 00:55:13 They'd be in contempt of court if they did that. But judges excuse jurors for hardships. For example, I'm having a heart attack. I've got COVID. My son died, whatever like some emergency happens then that's what happens we just uh we're watching one case a few weeks ago where it went wednesday they couldn't come to a decision thursday no decision friday yeah friday afternoon everyone wanted to go home they made a decision they just threw the guy under the bus was it the grandma
Starting point is 00:55:41 was it that grandma what was it it was no it it was Doug Mechie. Oh, yeah. The meme guy. He said they were hung. He said, go back. They come back. They were hung. He said, go back. And then finally they were like, we just want to go home.
Starting point is 00:55:51 Just say he's guilty. I would literally never do that. I would be like, I'm moving into the courthouse. I would literally never do that. The tricky part here is that I saw a conservative commentator earlier today saying one citizen needs to get on that jury. But to get on that jury as a Trump supporter, you'd have to lie. You'd have to suppress that. And now people do that. It happens all the time. I tried a pro-life case involving the First Amendment in San Francisco. And there were people who wanted to get on that
Starting point is 00:56:21 jury. We could tell because they were adamantly pro-choice and they wanted to see my client fry. And so it's the job of the lawyers to suss that out. And at the end of the day, a judge's refusal to bounce a juror who's clearly biased is reversible error. But by that time, the conviction would have happened. So that's like the jeopardy here is I'm confident at the end of the day that these kinds of things will get sussed out. Well, we have this from AP. Trump's historic hush money trial gets underway. First day ends without any jurors being picked. Yeah. Is that normal? Well, so what happened much of the day to day was the judge ruling on threshold motions and setting some rules. For example, his lawyer asked, well, he has these two things.
Starting point is 00:57:07 First of all, there's the important family matter of his son graduating. And in a six-week trial, I've had six-week trials, it's normal for the judge to say, yeah, you can have that day off. It's courteous and normal. The judge has business to attend to, right? Next week, President Trump has a constitutional right to be at the hearing of the United States Supreme Court over immunity. And this judge says, if you go to that hearing, which is your constitutional right, your due process right, I will jail you. I will jail you for attending a very important other hearing. Do you think Trump will go to the court, Supreme Court? He has to.
Starting point is 00:57:43 I feel like he will. Yeah, right? He has to. I feel like he will, yeah, right? He has to. I think it won't surprise me that the judges, frankly, outrageous orders in this regard, get called. Someone's going to call the bluff. Trump must go to the Supreme Court. There are these two different things. The news headline,
Starting point is 00:58:01 Trump held in contempt to be jailed for attending oral arguments in Supreme Court case. It's a crazy time. Man. It's ridiculous. This weekend was nuts. It was like a lever got pulled. They said like the news had jammed up in the machine and then someone took a big cotton swab the size of Cuomo's nose and jammed it in there to knock it all loose and now it's just ripping saturday i went and had a beer
Starting point is 00:58:28 for the first time in a long time and i was just sitting alone at the brewery just like looking out over the river just thanking god that i was in a peaceful place and that's when the fucking the missiles came flying the drones came in your phone and it's like missiles i got home and it's like oh another like what i don't know if i'm just part of a greater like i do believe there's more to life than just me getting up and doing my thing we're connected and i don't you know it was kind of wild because it was like saturday night and we were hanging out the poker room and the game got turned off for breaking news iran had fired missiles at israel and i just look up and i was like in the poker room really wow all these poor old guys trying to just get away and just relax with their buddies.
Starting point is 00:59:05 And now it's like, hey, World War III is happening. My latest fantasies are about being off grid. Like, that's what I imagine. I'm like, total peace. No noise. No Twitter. No phone. Nothing.
Starting point is 00:59:17 Just the sound of chickens. Well, or little birds or these crazy bees we got out here. We got the craziest prehistoric bees. They're like- Prehistoric? They seem it with wingspan. They're the prehistoric bees. They're like- Prehistoric? They seem it with wingspan. They're the size of my palm. Are you talking about carpenter bees?
Starting point is 00:59:29 I don't know. Whatever they are, they're flying around my house. Those big carpenter bees? Yeah. Yeah, but those are everywhere. Those are in New Jersey. They're not in Brooklyn. I will tell you that.
Starting point is 00:59:39 They're certainly not in Brooklyn. So let me just circle back to a question you asked. So lawyers use two different terms. So a failure to reach a verdict is also known as a mistrial. And in the event of a mistrial, he can be retried. So if there's 11 to 1 and there's no agreement, the 1 doesn't persuade the 11, that's a mistrial. And so then the prosecutor has to decide if they want to bring the case again. And they will.
Starting point is 01:00:03 And they will, but that might happen after the election. I don't know. I kind of feel like the trial is already fake. The trial is fake. This trial would never have been brought by a non-hack, non-Marxist DA. Well, this is a DA who, as soon as he came into office, he was all on board for bail reform, letting people out of prison you know closing down like definitely not prosecuting people for certain crimes right uh reducing
Starting point is 01:00:31 most felon like 52 of felonies i think i saw i was looking at today to misdemeanors and suddenly we're we're aggravating these misdemeanors to felonies for no good reason making that all over the country these um marxist da's will prosecute you for your free speech will prosecute you for defending your home will prosecute you for defending your person will prosecute you over bogus stuff like this but they won't prosecute people breaking into your car stealing your stuff raping your wife they won't prosecute those crimes that everyone knows you for defending yourself for defending yourself. And so this is the, and I'm talking about literally millions of dollars is all it takes to buy up all the DAs
Starting point is 01:01:14 in the big cities in America. So why are, why are there not a lot of, I mean, we, there's a lot of leftist donors. There's Soros buying up DAs. Why do we not have a lot of conservative donors? That is the question. Why do we not have conservative donors who are investing in these issues? And there's a grift factor. There's a consultant grift factor. You don't make a lot of money being the consultant to a race like that. It's not glamorous. And so I think that's a real problem on our side. They don't have that problem on the other side. Yeah, the left, they're cultists. And so advancing the cult is its own reward on the right it's like well i'm trying to make money and if you can't make money then what's the point on the right it's where's my
Starting point is 01:01:51 return but the maga faction is the ideological faction of the right where passion and conviction matters more than just the money but of course meritocracy plays a role in that so people are trying to make money you're always gonna have a tough time fighting communists. The communists are driven by religious fervor. I don't know what to tell you. You don't have a strong Christian fervor. You've got a decent one, but they're too nice. Yeah, but the thing is, there aren't that many Marxists in this country.
Starting point is 01:02:21 It's just that the ones that there are, are elevated into positions of power. And a lot of people in the country are sheep, and they go along and they get along. And so you're holding out hope for the youth of this country, the youth of this country, particularly people like college age. First of all, college is a brainwashing machine for most Americans. Good kids go in and complete useless idiots come out. Even prior to that, you have these rainbow haired weirdos teaching, teaching the lower, teaching the elementary and the secondary schools. And so I have, you know, it's only kids who are being homeschooled or kids who somehow have very strong values at home who aren't coming out ruined out of that educational system in our country. That is true.
Starting point is 01:03:05 But we're also seeing Gen Z is pushing more to the right than any other generation we've seen before. Or it's a historical trend breaker. Typically, every generation moves slightly leftward on issues, namely cultural issues. But this time, Gen Z is actually, it was a few years ago, it's hilarious, six years ago, we saw Gen Z shift rightward. And then in the past couple of years it's been a dramatic bang i mean support for same-sex marriage among gen z according to a couple new polls is lower than boomers and
Starting point is 01:03:31 millennials it's been shoved down their throat and they're just sick of it yeah you know they their their teachers come to school with multi-colored hair talking about their different neo pronouns and the kids are just like oh my goodness why are we doing this the but the issue of same-sex marriage i think is something else i think when you see the polling showing that also young men are moving very much to the right and young women to the left i think you've got young guys who are watching jordan peterson andrew tate and they're just thinking of themselves my kid watches my son he's 14 he likes matt walsh well matt walsh is is in terms of like i think that andrew tate does have a lot of good things but i do think matt walsh is better in terms of like a father
Starting point is 01:04:12 figure type inspiration for for a variety of reasons i much prefer him watching matt walsh to andrew tate yeah andrew tate's a bit he has a lot of silly videos he makes they're pretty funny but matt walsh is like a dad you know what i mean that's good yeah seems like a good dad too but i think there's a lot of it has to do with young men being told they're bad they're the problem and they're just tired of it i bet a lot of them went through school and were playing along and knew it was ridiculous saying words they didn't agree with and now they're out of school and they're like i have freedom now all right that stuff was ridiculous i think a big component of it is when you're in school and you hear all these sweet nothings about how you deserve you deserve this and you deserve that
Starting point is 01:04:54 and shouldn't you get this and shouldn't you get that you're thinking yeah i do deserve this i do deserve that then you graduate get a job work really hard and then you look at your paycheck and you realize yeah the other people deserved your money apparently that was your idea and they immediately go whoa no hold on i worked i deserve my paycheck no no you as a young person advocated that the people who aren't working deserve your paycheck and so you lost it and then immediately do a 180 and say okay that was a mistake i also think dating plays a big role in it as well younger guys hitting hitting it reaching an impasse where they're like how do i start a family how do i get a house yeah i mean if you know what a full history that red guy yeah he released a video this weekend called the upcoming incel rebellion and then it got taken
Starting point is 01:05:40 down by youtube really reasons then he posted a whole clue that he reposts and everything like that but just reasons he put it back on YouTube? I believe so. It was reposting when I read the post and I was waiting for it to upload, but just reasons, right? He's not wrong. When young men become listless and purposeless, you get
Starting point is 01:05:57 revolts. They have nothing to do. They find ideologies and then they lash out. And if they don't revolt revolt they'll go to another country oh wait that's we're the country that they went to yeah exactly and they're here yeah they're here and yeah it wasn't what they wasn't what it was advertised as well you'd think many of them would leave but it's being facilitated. Where would they go? This is still the best country in the world.
Starting point is 01:06:27 Yeah, but, you know, I went to, I was in France covering the migrant crisis there several years ago. This is like, man, seven years ago. And we interviewed migrants in Paris. It was cold. And they said, it's so cold. I hate it here. I don't want to be here anymore. This is, I don't like the cold. I've never had the cold before. These are people who came from sub-Saharan
Starting point is 01:06:50 Africa, economic migrants who were promised jobs and opportunity. If they went on this dangerous trek, they were told that France wanted them there. The people working in these countries are saying, you know, France is asking for migrants to come and take jobs. And they're like, really? So they came. Then they were put into these big inflatable tents that were freezing. And they're standing outside being like, I've never experienced cold before. And this is awful. I want to go home.
Starting point is 01:07:12 That's like what's happening in Chicago. Yep. Except in Chicago, they're also getting what, measles and tuberculosis? Yes, they are. Yeah. Yeah. It's going great. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:21 Chicago is going to be a, it's going to be brutal for a lot of these. It was brutal for a lot of these people not realizing just how cold Chicago gets. Venezuelans were going home. You know what was really crazy? I went to the Chicago market this Christmas and it was impossible to be in and it was the weirdest thing. What do you mean impossible? It was
Starting point is 01:07:38 shoulder to shoulder and you couldn't actually do anything. So the Chicago market happens during Christmas and normally it's like you walk in you walk around there's shops everywhere they come from all over the world and then you leave this time it was you couldn't even get in i was just like i don't know if it's even worth going into because everyone's just standing smash shoulder to shoulder moving two inches and i'm like what's happening to the city and of course most of the people there were not from there they were i shouldn't say most to
Starting point is 01:08:06 be inside no what i'm saying is it was a lot of migrants i don't know if they were illegal immigrants or otherwise but there were a lot of people who were not from chicago maybe they were tourists or otherwise but i'm like don't we aren't these people the same people saying we're overpopulated like advocating for mass migration into our cities that they claim are overpopulated doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense. It doesn't, does it? No. None of it makes sense unless you think about it being used to change the outcome of elections,
Starting point is 01:08:33 which I think is one of the things the left is doing with this. Well, one of the stories that we've pulled up quite a bit is the Help America Vote Verification System. So let me pull this up again once, pull this up once again. We have the week ending March 30th and we'll take a look over at our good friend, Texas. Now we brought this up several times. The Social Security Administration says
Starting point is 01:08:52 225,000 people registered to vote without IDs. 190,000 matches were found. 4,515 were deceased. When it came to Missouri, apparently the statement was that they were doing voter roll, they were cleaning up the voter rolls and verifying their voter rolls. But the HAVV, according to SSA, is only for new voter registrants, not for you to clean your logs. It wouldn't make sense that they were doing that. That's why there's so many. But Texas
Starting point is 01:09:21 issued a statement saying it's not happening and that it must be an error. So, Harmeet, I'm wondering, you work with the RNC, if you guys are aware of what this is and why it's happening. Because, well, if Texas were to flip blue and there has been speculation it may go blue, maybe many people from California move to Texas and Texas is winner take all. Democrats need only one swing state. Not even if Missouri and Texas both turned blue. Biden wins. Trump could win every swing state. Biden will win if he gets those two. So I'm wondering if you guys have seen the story. What do you think it might mean or what are the plans the RNC has for dealing with ballot harvesting and other initiatives? Well, I don't know what the plans are specifically. I'm not actively involved in any of that. I'm not part of the RNC's management at this point. I am assured that there are plans, but the good news is
Starting point is 01:10:16 that there are outside groups as well who are focusing on these issues. And Turning Point USA is one. I know there's some apps out there that folks are looking for. There's an app a friend of mine has made called Vici, and they have a whole plan to use sort of gamification to recruit citizens to help get their fellow citizens to vote. But the problem is that in most United States, efforts to impose voter ID requirements or even, which now Republicans are coming around to that we really have to up the ante on this. But I was just looking this up right now. In Texas, you can evade their voter ID requirement, avoid the voter ID requirement when it comes to registering to vote by filling out an affidavit, that there's a hardship, a substantial impediment declaration.
Starting point is 01:11:26 And with that, you can avoid the voter ID requirement, which is, you know, when you're talking about tens of thousands of people doing that, suddenly that doesn't look like tens of thousands of people having a problem finding their ID or what have you. It seems like something systematic, right?
Starting point is 01:11:39 If it's true that 1.5 million, I don't know, non-citizens, illegals or otherwise have registered in Texas, it certainly sounds like Texas will be a Democrat state this election. Yeah. I mean, I think I'm sure people are looking into this. This happened two weeks ago, April 4th. The secretary of state released a statement confirming that individuals are not required to have an ID to register to vote. They only have to produce a Social Security number. Well, you know, some refugees get social security numbers. And so, you know, that's the problem. Now you're relying on them, and this is the case throughout the
Starting point is 01:12:14 United States, to self-certify. For example, when we've driven voter registration to the DMV, which of course is like, we all know the most competent arm of the government, you self-certify there that you are eligible to be a United States voter. And the problem is complicated by the fact that in many states, increasingly, and in urban elections, you don't have to be a citizen to vote in those elections. So varies by state law, of course, but in California and San Francisco, the notorious example is illegal aliens are entitled to vote for school board because their children, that the argument is,
Starting point is 01:12:54 our children are educated in the schools. So there's a whole second tier system. So they spent hundreds of thousands of dollars setting up the system. At the end of the day, 43 people or something like that registered to vote under that system. So it really blurs, and that's intentional. The intent is to confuse or enable people who are not citizens to vote in this country. And then four years from now or six years from now, there's going to be rioting over
Starting point is 01:13:20 that issue. Why aren't we allowed to vote in federal elections as well? And Congress could actually shut that down. I started looking at this issue almost a decade ago. Congress could shut that down by passing a law saying that in the United States, and other people who are federalist objections to this, but I think it's a real national problem at this point, and you could condition it on federal funding or what have you, but you could make a rule that says in the United States, you cannot vote in any election unless you are a United States citizen. And so that means school board or local municipal city council or whatever. And they could tie it to funding. If you want any federal funding to run your elections, which by the way, they all want, you know, they're going to comply with that, like the seatbelt rules and other rules like that. What about, you had Mike
Starting point is 01:14:02 Johnson and Donald Trump on Friday talking together about how there should be, how Johnson was going to propose a bill requiring people to prove that they are U.S. citizens before they're allowed to vote. Right. So the left is responding to that by saying, well, that's already the law. Correct. It's already the law that in federal elections, you have to be a citizen. The problem is you don't have to produce ID to prove that you're a citizen. You simply check a box and say, I'm a citizen, I'm entitled to vote. And indeed, there have been many instances
Starting point is 01:14:32 where legitimate American green card holders, legal residents, have voted in federal elections because they checked the wrong box when they were registering their vehicle or what have you. They updated their voter registration. They got themselves on the voter rolls. And then they got the ballots because the ballots were mailed to them. And then they voted.
Starting point is 01:14:53 And now they're felons, effectively. They can never become American citizens if the law is applied correctly because that's an excludable offense. You can actually be deported for that. Which it ought to be, really. Yeah, it ought to be. But on the other hand, somebody who doesn't speak English as their first language goes to get their driver's license and they check the wrong box. Someone mails them a ballot
Starting point is 01:15:11 and boom, they become disqualified to be a citizen in a lawful country. Now, is that really happening? I'm not aware of people being deported for that. The problem is rather the opposite problem, which I think is Democrats encouraging people to vote without proper authorization. I think that one of the big plays they'll make is, you alluded to it
Starting point is 01:15:33 already with, hey, why can't we vote in federal elections? They've already started using the phrase undocumented citizens, and they'll try and shift the language, and they'll make the argument that citizen simply means a person who lives here, so that 10, 20 years they can say, hey, we can't have it a two tiered system of citizenship where if you're an undocumented citizen, you can't vote. All citizens should be allowed to vote. And then they'll try and make it so that the moment you cross that border, you can vote. Well, I think that is the view of the left. I think that is absolutely the view of the left. And you hear it from educated leftists who say, well, what do you mean they don't pay taxes? They pay taxes. They pay sales
Starting point is 01:16:08 tax. Their taxes are withheld because they're working, they've entered their social security number. They're paying into the system. No, they're not. That's a lie. But the dirty secret of all of this is why is this even controversial on the right? Because many American Republican donors have made their money off of the backs of illegal workers in their businesses, in agriculture, in meatpacking, you name it. In every industry like that where a lot of cheap labor is required, it is convenient and inexpensive and improves their bottom line and their sales to be able to compete with Mexico by simply hiring undocumented workers. That's a dirty fact. Yeah, that's why Trump's a threat to them because Trump actually had raids on chicken processing plants when he was president and it resulted in like I think 800 deportations.
Starting point is 01:17:08 That's right in like Alabama or something. Yeah yeah and then they and then these companies republican donors and then democrats made the arguments but nobody wants to do these jobs and then sure enough tons of people showed up who are americans who wanted those jobs yeah and there was a reporter who asked sir are you here for the job fair i am uh why would you want to take a job like this he goes what do you mean it pays more money than my last job. It was that simple. It was a better job. So they lie. What they want to do is they want to compete with non-citizens so that American workers
Starting point is 01:17:35 are displaced. American workers says, look, standard of living here. I need money for my family. I got to make 15, 20 bucks an hour. And they go, nah, we're going to give this non-citizen seven bucks an hour. He'll take it. Well, what Americans want, it's not that there are jobs Americans are unwilling to do. Americans want a fair wage and good working conditions.
Starting point is 01:17:51 And the dignity that comes along with earning your own living and supporting your family. That costs money. I don't know. That's what I want. The people who aren't from this country are like, look, I make $3 an hour back where I'm from. If I can get seven, that'd be fantastic. I don't care what the conditions are.
Starting point is 01:18:07 And then these companies exploit them. And they put them in dorms and they take their passports and they don't let them leave. And they do. I remember I was in California, by the way, they all have lawyers. They all have Marshall's lawyers, too. No, no, that's not happening. People are getting paid pretty well to do jobs that Americans would be willing to do. I went to the Salton Sea during the drought coverage
Starting point is 01:18:26 and I met some young guys who were skateboarding. They said their parents were, they harvested fruit on fruit farms not too far away and they got 20 bucks an hour and they were not citizens. And he was like, he was born here. His parents- Cesar Chavez would be overwhelmed. Yeah, he said that he was born there.
Starting point is 01:18:44 And so, you know, he's a citizen, but his parents aren't. So he tries to be careful. But his parents make about 20 bucks an hour each collecting the fruit, harvesting the fruit. And I was like 20 bucks an hour. And this was 10 years ago. I was like, wow, a lot of Americans would love to have those jobs. But the issue isn't so much about the pay. It's about the legal requirements.
Starting point is 01:19:03 If it's an American citizen working there, you've got liability issues. If it's a non-citizen, they simply tell them, hey, anything bad happens, you're getting kicked out of the country. That doesn't work anymore. Actually, like I said, there's a lot of lawyers for all people on the West Coast. They're still, but for a business, all it takes is a couple of bucks worth of profit. So you could pay an American slightly higher. you can pay somebody a little bit less and um you know our entire restaurant industry is built on that all the food we eat is built on illegal labor in this country and wow you know it's that's
Starting point is 01:19:37 what chuck schumer always a fact yeah yeah about why we should allow that's why we should allow massive illegal immigration. That's protection of ourselves. I mean, look at what stuff costs in Norway. It costs like five times what it costs here in America because not that many people live there and they're all kind of very tightly controlled labor market, very strictly controlled labor market. Man, people got to bring back the small town.
Starting point is 01:20:03 Up in Martinsburg, the diner closed and it's really sad. Oh, no. Yeah it's really sad oh no yeah it closed a while ago i remember there was a place on the north side there was a side if the city's developing it's getting bigger chain restaurants are coming in and there was this classic looking 50s diner hole in the wall that clearly was from the 50s and had not been repaired since and uh you'd walk in and it was one of those diners where it's like a thin strip you can sit you can sit at the counter and then that's all you had and i think it was just one old guy who made all the food you'd walk and sit down you want a burger fries pancakes waffle sausage whatever basic diner stuff and he'd make it right behind you and then he'd flip it over hand it to you and then i remember a few years ago went back for the holidays and it was just gone shut down out of business what i assume happened is the old guy just either retired or died and there was no one to inherit
Starting point is 01:20:49 this like right this this classic local place and so what's happening now is these businesses close the chains come in and you're getting this plasticification of our cities and that's the deauthentification look a lot of that of course was accelerated by covid and in even in foodie mecca where i live san francisco the majority of the restaurants have shut like our favorite restaurants are pretty much all gone and the ones that are there are suddenly charging like 30 bucks for an entree it's crazy it is expensive like getting takeout is really expensive i was recently in brooklyn and one of and the kellogg diner in williamsburg oh yeah it's gone really it's closed that really wow yeah it's closed yeah those this is like they're like all the time me too i used to go there with my kid like two blocks from vice yeah exactly it's right there like you know right in williamsburg right under the qe right on the yeah right there
Starting point is 01:21:41 kellogg diner man yeah i was i was i was going going by in an Uber and I was just like, what is this? What happened? Man. Everything's turned into plastic. Yeah, I don't like the deauthentification of culture. It's expensive to keep good ingredients too. Mom and pop shops tend to have a challenge keeping up with the cost of ingredients. Because then if they cut costs and they end up using crappy three-day-old grease to fry their French fries in because they can't afford to buy new grease every day, then you can taste it and the fries suck.
Starting point is 01:22:09 Everything is just Cisco these days. But the thing, too, is, like, the people who are running the corporate chain restaurants, they don't care about the food that they give you. And so everything is just super mid. You know, there's, like, nothing good about it. I've recently been thinking about that, and I'm just kind of like, I'm done eating other people's food. You know, I just want to eat my own food. We need like the idea of you waking up with the family. You take your kids to the diner and there's old Mr. Belvedere, whatever his name is.
Starting point is 01:22:38 And he's the guy who's making the sandwiches and the pancakes. And he puts the little happy face in the pancakes for the little kid. And, you know the he's part of the community everybody knows him now it's like you walk into the local diner there's people you've never seen before you don't know him no one cares no one talks to each other mr belvedere mr belvedere is now ms belvedere there's that too well mr and mrs belvedere is confused no mr belvedere is trans but it should be. and Mrs. Belvedere who run the local diner and they're both there. It should be.
Starting point is 01:23:07 The family knows them. And on Christmas, there's a Christmas tree and there's a wreath on the door. And they say, we always go in on Christmas Eve to see the Belvedere family and they cook us French toast sticks. And there's little trains in the corner. Now it's corporate chains with people you've never seen before who don't know you don't care don't know your neighbors names people can't afford rent
Starting point is 01:23:28 there's homeless people everywhere there's human crap all over the streets you don't trust the people teaching your own kid well cooking for yourself is no joke right now either
Starting point is 01:23:35 I cook a lot at home and you know the $200 worth of groceries is $400 worth of groceries now suddenly it is so much more expensive
Starting point is 01:23:44 it's crazy. It's double. Yeah. But it was a year ago, I feel like. How many days of food does that, for like a hundred people? For us, maybe, well, it's two of us, and it's a week of admittedly bougie food, but real good food, halibut and salmon and crab and healthy food. And like that $15 Nancy Pelosi ice cream?
Starting point is 01:24:02 The Jenny's ice cream. She had a freezer full of it yeah that's kind of crazy I've been ordering ready-made meals but they're expensive they're like 13 bucks a meal and I'm like yeah but meat then I'm looking at the cost of meat $18 a pound for some of this meat I'm like am I even would I even save money if I cooked I don't know I don't think you save money but you get better food I mean I that's why I do it I don't do it I save money I don't know what's in my food. I think,
Starting point is 01:24:26 I think going out for food is, is important though. I think the idea of Saturday morning, you got to the diner and you know, your community and you recognize your friends and your neighbors and everyone's getting pancakes. Yeah. If it's good.
Starting point is 01:24:37 No, we live in a small town on weekends on the coast and we make a point of doing that. And it is really nice but in the city is a whole different story yeah what's in the food you don't know what's in it i mean and as times if times really get crunchy you may really want to know what's in that food before you start eating it yeah i love this meme they said uh if you went to the 1950s and showed a video of a major city today they would be shocked You are living in the nightmare dystopia.
Starting point is 01:25:06 Oh, yeah, for sure. We've been in the nightmare dystopia for a while. But if you went to the 1950s, they'd be like, have your pancakes. We're getting ready to get shipped off to Korea. Like they didn't have- And there's some lard. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:25:17 So it was like a lot of smiling and like Main Street had a lot of balloons on it, but like kids were getting shipped off to get their legs blown off in the jungle against their will. It was a horrible time. It was a war machine at its peak. And that was, we were living,
Starting point is 01:25:30 that was that whole American dream thing was the war machine at its peak. I don't know what it was like before the 1800s. Were there local candy stores? What was the best year then? Is there a good year right before the war started, right before Korea, right after World War II? I don't know. i think the 90s were pretty baller yeah the 90s that's true they were great i feel like the 90s were the pinnacle of american civilization it was like
Starting point is 01:25:54 the reward we had for everything terrible that had happened i like the 70s you like the 70s i love the 70s i love the fashion the vietnam i was a kid like i love the music i love the 70s. I love the fashion. Do you think Vietnam known? The Vietnam. I was a kid. I love the music. I love the fashion. I love the Saturday Night Fever. I love the cheesy movies. I loved all of that. The Jimmy Carter. Oh, that's right.
Starting point is 01:26:14 You guys had the original Saturday morning. I long today for a Democrat leader who's like Jimmy Carter. Like principled, totally wrong, but like i think sincere that was a different era he was a sincere guy a good guy that we don't have them like that anymore like joe biden is literally the antithesis of somebody like that i think i think the reason the 70s probably takes the cake is just because they gave us uh rasputin by bony m and that's nothing else matters that's just one of the it's one of the top songs of all time. Bell bottoms.
Starting point is 01:26:47 I don't have the reference, but I'm a huge 70s fan. The music and the fashion. You don't know Rasputin? No, I don't know the reference of the 70s because I wasn't around. I know Boney M is very popular and where I come from in India. Oh, yeah, yeah. Boney M, fantastic. Was it Daddy Cool?
Starting point is 01:27:01 What else have they got? Rivers of Babylon. Boney m's great rest of you it's like one of the greatest songs ever but of course bohemian rhapsody is like the greatest song ever written the idea that you can walk out and snap your fingers and have some food handed to you is like what kind of luxury we're living in this world we i mean i've been accustomed to my whole life that you go to friendlies and get ice cream or like go to a dairy queen and eat burger meat at a snap of a finger and
Starting point is 01:27:25 have you guys seen these dystopian PSA commercials where it's like I just saw one recently where it's three guys are playing Xbox and one guy runs over and he opens the box puts the he opens the cartridge he puts the or the CD tray puts the disc in the three guys are playing multiplayer and they're all laughing and then they like high five and then it the screen flickers to today and it's a guy sitting on his couch with headphones on. All you hear is clacking and there's nothing being said. And then he looks at his phone and he swipes and he looks down. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:27:53 And it says innovations are not always good or something like that. Well, this is something that my son keeps talking about is he finds the removal of local multiplayer for games to be really upsetting because he liked to sit on the couch with his friends he would like he used to have like three controllers and his two best friends would come over and they would all sit there and play games and i would order pizza and like then take them for ice cream after you know what i mean and it was great and they would just and i could look over and i could see them and they would be hanging out and i would like pretend i wasn't there and like let them have the, you know,
Starting point is 01:28:25 the house of themselves basically. But at a certain point, all these games started pulling local multiplayer off. And so they would have to like, if they wanted to play together, they would both have to have two Xboxes in the same place and two monitors. And so now, I mean, one of his best friend
Starting point is 01:28:42 actually moved to Morocco, which is crazy. But anyway, they play. So they play remotely. But they can't even play together. Like my son likes to play. So he like will find games that are still local multiplayer because he and his dad like to play in the same place. You know, and it's just not fair to these kids that they have. They're like forced to sit there alone if they want to play games with their friends.
Starting point is 01:29:02 It's dumb. Mario Party. Yeah. He actually wanted to write me an article about how local multiplayer should not be removed from games. Is he going to do it? Well, he wrote half of it
Starting point is 01:29:12 and then he got distracted and talked to his friend and whatever. Well, it's time to finish it. And then you, the editor, will go through it. I will edit it. But I think it really matters. I think it is a transformation. Even when I was a kid,
Starting point is 01:29:23 I was never a very sophisticated. Even when I was a kid, like I didn't, you know, I was never a very sophisticated gamer, but I had an Atari and me and my cousin would sit there and play it together. We both had our little joysticks. Kong and Space Invader. Great game. I had Pac-Man.
Starting point is 01:29:36 Big fan of Defender. Personally, I love that game. Galaga. For a lot of reasons, the internet has caused us great problems. But it's the upsides are like insurmountably awesome. Like I remember 1994 when I got Diablo. My buddy got Diablo.
Starting point is 01:29:49 And then he burned me a copy on a CD. And we played multiplayer online. It was the most groundbreaking thing. You could talk to your friend and play video games with him no matter where he was on Earth. I was like, what? Everything's better now. But the lack of community thing's insidious. You don't realize it at the time that being alone in a room is still being
Starting point is 01:30:09 alone in a room. And then you have an AI girlfriend. Speaking of, there's a- So I mean, that's the thing is COVID has robbed kids and people of just people knowing how to socialize. And they're all dysfunctional a lot of younger most younger people i know are dysfunctional unless they grew up in a big family they don't know how to relate to people it is and i can tell you even in the law profession i know people up people at my law firm are all going to think i'm talking about them but there's a real failure to launch among young career professionals they don't they don't understand deadlines. And I know I sound like get off my lawn here, but literally the socialization of the abusive workplace, which
Starting point is 01:30:52 forges by fire the understanding that you have to perform and do better than others and get stuff done and have some discipline. People are like, yeah, I want to work from home and I don't really feel like doing it. Don't have driver's licenses. Don't have driver's licenses. Don't have drive. Just no drive. People ghost in interviews. Like, they're just like, it's as if showing it was optional.
Starting point is 01:31:13 Someone else is going to take care of you. Well, right. Because they do. I think when you eliminate struggle from a human being's life in early development, they don't have drive. I think drive is rooted in growing up you had to accomplish things for a long time in human history it was if you don't you'll die right then we got to the point where it is tradition you must then we got to the point where you get a trophy whether you did or didn't and so then there's no struggle food's just there
Starting point is 01:31:41 you get a trophy whether you win or lose now these people are adults and they're saying but, but I don't want to do anything. Why can't I just have free stuff? Yeah. Well, in a way, that's the counterpart of the immigrant experience in the United States because I'm an immigrant. And my dad came here as a doctor, settled in rural North Carolina. So I grew up in a very rural community. And everyone worked. Everyone had a job, no matter whether they were right side of the railroad tracks, wrong side of the railroad tracks. It was just socialization. And as an immigrant today, many decades later, I still have that immigrant mentality. You cannot sit there and chill. You have to be building something bigger and better and always be on the ball. But my brother's kids, you know, like that generation is different.
Starting point is 01:32:25 You know, they're kind of buying into the sort of apathy of the American youth right now. Yeah, I don't like it. Tim Dillon had a bit
Starting point is 01:32:32 actually today where he was talking about Gen Z has just figured out the way to game the system right now. So they say, oh,
Starting point is 01:32:36 well, I showed up for work late and they said, why are we, oh, well, I'm gay. And they said,
Starting point is 01:32:39 oh, okay, well, fine, don't worry about it. And they just game the system and say, oh,
Starting point is 01:32:42 I have the, they make up mental disorders and say, oh, well, it's because it this mental disorder. It's because it's like the Pokemonification that Gen Z has created in the world.
Starting point is 01:32:48 Everything has to be in a category, et cetera. But really good bit. He does that. Anyways. We're going to go to Super Chat. So if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel,

I think I know what it's going to be very important, very interesting, and it's also going to be gross. So you've been warned. But you should still sign up and watch it. You'll enjoy it. I think I know what it's going to be about. I think you might.
Starting point is 01:33:31 I don't know. Maybe. We'll see. Clint Torres says, howdy, people. Clint Torres has returned. He is the man. He owns the Super Chat. Yeah, Clint's the man.
Starting point is 01:33:39 Evan Porter says, howdy, Clint. Well, there you go. Shane H. Wilder says, so after the stabbing of the priest during mass do we think that violence towards christians will continue to escalate i haven't seen anything from mainstream media probably because of who did the stabbing crazy story out of sydney it was a bishop i believe and there's video footage of it uh apparently he had made comments about islam they threatened to kill him and then some kids showed up and did it uh killed him i don't know if this is true i don't know if you guys have seen this but apparently they said like the the parishioners chopped his fingers off chopped his fingers off the kid was
Starting point is 01:34:13 15 wow he could be seen in the video afterwards laughing like smiling after he had been subdued wow he went to like food like a food court earlier like it was just a regular day for this guy i don't yeah i mean this I mean, this was like, and this was the second major stabbing. You say they caught the guy and they cut the assailant's fingers off? Yeah, the parishioners grabbed the kid after he stabbed the bishop.
Starting point is 01:34:34 The bishop is non-life-threatening injuries. Oh, okay. He's still alive. Yeah, he's still alive. And then they cut off the kid's fingers. That's what I read, yeah. I think it was in the course of trying to subdue him, not like as retaliation that's my understanding wow but
Starting point is 01:34:48 then there was a crowd outside saying like you know an eye for an eye like bring him out let him face justice yeah i mean if you did that to like the military commander who had been shot on right it's pretty crazy all right rusty shackleford says could they really throw trump in jail with secret service in solitary a trump a special jail like Wolf of Wall Street, dude? That was my question, too. Like like Secret Service. That's one thing that Judge Merchan was saying today. If if Trump goes into chambers, Secret Service goes into chambers, too.
Starting point is 01:35:16 Yeah. So if Trump gets if Trump goes to jail, Secret Service goes to jail. That's right. So this was all covered when he had his booking and his fingerprints taken that that that was all gamed out secret service has a plan for that so yes secret service would have to be with him in the now if he is convicted you know there will be an appeals process and just not being a criminal defense attorney myself from what i'm seeing right now there are vast grounds for overturning this verdict on appeal. And so I think it will be years and, you know, hopefully he makes it back to
Starting point is 01:35:52 the White House. So we're certainly working hard for that. But I don't think he's going to see real jail time as a defendant. I think that it is going to be possible that Judge Merchan puts him in contempt. That's possible. I hope that Trump wins and then sends the DOJ into New York. Just keep it that simple, I suppose. Sends the DOJ in. The problem is how woke is the most of the federal prosecutorial ranks and the fbi i'm not worried i'm not worried about i'm not worried about that at all because cash patel will be in charge of the doj so
Starting point is 01:36:30 okay yeah so once he appoints cash as ag oh i love there was like some media report where the democrats were freaking out like cash may be ag and there are like pundits being like i love it cash appointed as ag he would be i think what do you say he'd be acting ag because he'd have to get confirmation yeah cash is great but that's not happening because he'll never get confirmed nobody good is going to get i mean nobody like super out there and and vocal about these issues today is going to get confirmed as attorney general in senate as i see but. But he will be acting AG at least for a moment. Anybody
Starting point is 01:37:07 could be acting AG. And so while they're going, we're not going to confirm. I vote for Mike Davis, but Cash is good too. Maybe Cash for the FBI. Yes. Mike Davis. Well, once that happens, then a crack team of loyal dregs will make their way into New York and figure out what's
Starting point is 01:37:24 going on over there, huh? I'm with mike davis what's he'd be a good guest on the show mike davis is awesome really smart lawyer clerk for clarence thomas and is one of the top voices out there supporting uh president trump and explaining some of these issues and he's a great guy inside the beltway conservative commentator all right fallen angel says what if ai gets personhood before a fetus so uh we we talked about udio which is this uh ai song generator and then another big one is suno and i just when i heard suno like udio was funny there's a song that ian was uh is a big fan of called what is it called I taped my balls to my butthole. I glued my balls to my butthole again.
Starting point is 01:38:07 I don't know if it was made on Suno or on Udio. Udio tends to make songs that have like one key. It was Udio. Sunio is all over the place. It makes dynamic key changes and stuff. The reason I'm pretty sure it was Suno, it was Udio, is because Suno's moderation is very strict. So when you try to, so on Udio, if you type in like a song by led zeppelin
Starting point is 01:38:26 it will convert led zeppelin into progressive rock 1970 like whatever but on suno it will say copyrighted blocked oh so i'm pretty sure like it was more lax writing the song of that stage you can get um really granular with it too you can write your own lyrics you can like change the chords and make things i just if you let the ai do it on its own it's kind of bland at this point but i suno apparently is a different story oh we you can write your own lyrics and everything yeah like it was playing some really dynamic songs yeah and pulling up on the fly i think we are a year or two away from a service where you type in a movie about a boy who finds out he's a wizard and it renders you a
Starting point is 01:39:05 movie it's going to be able to tap into your brain sense your emotions and change the music depending on what you're feeling perhaps maybe in the future but right now what we're looking at with with suno and udio the ai generating music okay look that sounds horrible yes i agree with it yeah and and you can't stop it the the picture generation was already mind-blowing going into mid-journey and typing in like photorealistic donald trump you know winning the 100 meter dash at the olympics and it makes it and you're like wow now you have songs and so we were skateboarding this weekend and uh richie jackson he's a pro skater he's hanging out upstairs at the new studio and we're playing regular music on the PA. It was, you know, I'm playing probably metric. And then my brother sends me Suno, which I'd heard
Starting point is 01:39:50 of audio. So I type in a fifties rockabilly song about Richie Jackson skateboarding. And then I hit render. It takes literally 15 seconds. And then it pops up. I hit play and it starts playing this rockabilly song. right as this as the song is kicking out richie walks down the stairs and the pa goes richie jackson skateboarding down the street and richie just freezes like what's happening like what's going on he's what is this because if you don't know this ai can generate a song with lyrics about you instantly you just heard this fully produced song on the PA system. And you're like,
Starting point is 01:40:26 did someone pranking me right now? Yeah. What's going on? It's crazy. So I thought it'd be really funny prank to like, you're driving down the street in your car and you'll see like a guy with like a leather jacket and a girl with a leather jacket. Then you type in,
Starting point is 01:40:39 you know, a punk rock song about a guy and a girl wearing leather jackets, walking down mate. Like, I don't know, like Jackson Boulevard in in in shepherdstown or whatever press render and then pull it nice and go how's it going and you crank the volume and then they'll hear it's like well there was a guy and a girl in leather jackets in shepherdstown they're like wait what like what am i listening to creepy af yeah but in in a year maybe you are going to type it like we already have ai rendered video which is not
Starting point is 01:41:06 very good but now we have music and then lyrics and and pictures like i swear we're a year or two away on wikipedia no doubt you're just going to type in i want to see a movie a james bond movie it'll be like james bond is copyrighted but how about a spy thriller starring you know this guy and it'll render the movie for you now that's maybe two years i think we're a year plastic food plastic entertainment plastic food yep plastic water is i would synthetic yeah i would say most of the songs we generated suck if you do instrumental it's indistinguishable from pop music you you do write me a pop song instrumental it will give you taylor swift you then have to
Starting point is 01:41:46 write the lyrics though but the lyrics are always pretty crummy but yeah we'll we'll talk about that uh in the after show and the more worrying ramifications antrin skywalker says part one i'm from boston ma 21 in a college dropout i'm trying to i'm trying to find a social life in my 20s around the state. With the amount of woke politics that is happening in the state, what should I do? I want to find attractive women that can hold a conversation to mingle with and gym guys to hang out with instead of woke weirdos. What are your thoughts on the state city based on economics and culture from your experience? I'd recommend going to MAGA country.
Starting point is 01:42:24 And then all of your problems will just disappear. I wouldn't go that far. MAGA country? How would they disappear? Well, I am being a bit hyperbolic. Okay. But if you move from, say, like Massachusetts to West Virginia, you're not going to find woke politics.
Starting point is 01:42:41 There's woke politics here and there for sure. But like, it's pretty safe, you know. You can actually speak your mind and tell people what you do for a living out here, which is not, which was not true in Brooklyn. Yeah. You come out here, most people are going to be like, typically moderate. You don't, you know, in Western Maryland and in the panhandle, we saw the Trump riding the velociraptor with the machine gun stuff.
Starting point is 01:43:06 Yeah, that's cool. But it's always very self-aware. Like, they know it's a joke and it's hilarious. No one that we met is like, Trump, ah, screaming and banging on the walls. They're all fairly exactly as you, like, they probably watch shows like this and they support Trump and they're just regular working class people. So there you go. You just got to get away from the woke cult centers, I guess. I mean, the smaller town you go to, the more real it's going to get in the United States.
Starting point is 01:43:29 Even in blue states. I mean, I'll tell you in California, everyone thinks, oh, everything's like LA and San Francisco. You go like 10 miles in from the coast and it's a different state and it's mostly red. Take care of your body too. You'll realize a lot of finding someone's actually within you. And then you'll, you'll start to find that you are actually very, you have good chemistry with a lot of people. And then you'll just have to find people you're compatible with.
Starting point is 01:43:53 And that will happen naturally. All right. Matthew Hammond says, congratulations to Brett and Cassandra McDonald on having twins. I second. Congratulations to Cassandra and Brett. Big deal. Twins.
Starting point is 01:44:04 Wow. Yeah. Wyatt Caldenberg says harmete we need a non-profit organization that rates local candidates on how populist america first they are judges are impossible to get info on i vote but seldom know who i am voting for not good well um there is a law under 501 c3 of um of the tax code and C4 and others that says that nonprofit organizations are limited from getting involved and spending money on political issues per se. However, there are a number of conservative organizations out there that provide information. example, the Liberty Caucus is a conservative group of libertarian-oriented conservatives, and they rate all members of Congress on their voting records. And so you can literally go to their website and see who's the most libertarian voting member of Congress, and then they rate all of them in reverse order. What about local candidates?
Starting point is 01:44:59 Well, local candidates, I'm sure with enough funding, these organizations could do that as well. But it's a little more difficult because local tends to be nonpartisan, first of all, in almost all cases. And so you don't get an R or a D after your name to help a little bit with that identification. And so I think it's a little harder. I'll tell you right now in my town, there's a debate between the pro-housing and the negative and the anti-housing. And ironically, the most like left-wing annoying member of the city council is now running for mayor, board of supervisors is a NIMBY.
Starting point is 01:45:34 Like he's against people building housing in San Francisco. And it's actually the more conservative people who want to build housing for people so that they can live. That's not really a right-left issue. It's more kind of inside baseball. So I think it's a little bit harder to translate to nonpartisan races. Yeah. Yeah, a lot of local races are outright nonpartisan.
Starting point is 01:45:57 Yeah, mostly in the United States. Most prosecutors, most board of supervisors, city council, school board board almost all are non-partisan they're not no r or d after the person's name all right oh bummer says longtime viewer first time chatter shout out to my best friend michael ryan murphy it was his 38th birthday yesterday he was diagnosed last year with als and had to medically retire from the police force he was screwed out of his retirement because he didn't have enough years served such bs i set up a give send go under supporting the murphy family to help with their income loss best of luck here here adrian curry says russia joining the fight against israel is in revelation in the bible really also nostradamus according to a bunch of outlets predicted
Starting point is 01:46:47 that something like a red red force or whatever would start a war in the sea or something like that jesus at the republican party no i think they think it's the communists but the soviets are gone oh these fools chinese communist party oh the chinese communist right and taiwan the chai goms war on the sea. But I mean, to be honest, it's like if your predictions are super vague, like there will be a great darkening of the sky. One who wields a black flag will come again.
Starting point is 01:47:14 Yeah, right. Okay. And then like pick a guy, well, his flag is mostly black. All right. Amasang. Amasang says, everyone knows World War III began with harambe's death
Starting point is 01:47:27 oh so sad okay well that that was the big change around that time is when something happened in this country still messes me up i would i i would uh i had an idea for a short film where the they turn on the large hadron collider and then they like crank it up to the highest power imaginable and then when it slams a pulse ripples across the planet and it makes every conspiracy theory real because it alters the and then uh even the ones that contradict each other's each other's awesome so like hitler lives on the moon but he's currently in argentina vacationing so like you somehow has to make sense. And he's 130 years old or something. How old would he be?
Starting point is 01:48:08 And then he's got conspiracy theories. Like our conspiracy theories are gaining conspiracy theories. It'll be like the year after COVID. Conspiracies. When all the conspiracy theories came true. All right. Patrick De Niro says the reason will be Biden in 50 years, Tim, Tim,
Starting point is 01:48:25 LOL, in reference to what started the world war three. I don't know. I think, I think Biden may be like a Buchanan, you know, he's just, I've never seen a guy in charge of a military with that state of mind,
Starting point is 01:48:37 his slow, like, it's really, really disturbing the way he's just kind of not, they just said they're going to start investigating the Baltimore boat crash. Well, they did say it on the first day
Starting point is 01:48:45 that they did say that they would do an investigation. And now they're saying it again today? Now they started. Now they're like, maybe there is some criminal culpability in this. Like three months? What was it, five weeks ago? No, no, we said it was an accident,
Starting point is 01:48:58 but now we're concerned about, you know. Now that you mention it. And these liberals called Marjorie Taylor Greene evil because she said she wanted investigated. That's absolutely insane to me. I think there's a lot of distraction going on right now. And that's one of them.
Starting point is 01:49:11 The bridge thing. Yeah. You don't think it was nefarious? I don't know. But I think that to your point, suddenly now they're opening up a criminal investigation into what everybody thought should be looked at at the time as a criminal matter and eliminated because that's when you find the facts, not weeks later. So yeah, I think this is a typical tactic of the left to
Starting point is 01:49:32 just keep dropping distracting news stories to destabilize America's focus. Dan's hobby says, why is the RNC having the convention in a blue city? This is the problem with the GOP and RNC start supporting red areas. Okay, the answer to that is a simple one. The bidding process for RNC and DNC happens a certain period of years out. And then we put out RFPs and cities respond. And we were all, I'd say most of us were hoping that Nashville would be the choice of the Republican National Convention. The two governors, the sitting governor and the prior governor, came and lobbied the RNC. Their food was better.
Starting point is 01:50:09 The music scene was going to be awesome. It's a red state. And Nashville City Council happens to be blue. And they did not want us. And they voted against us. And so we were really left at the altar with a single suitor, Milwaukee. But you can't just go to any city you want you cannot there are thousands of hotel rooms required the national news media i'll just you know california for example we can't
Starting point is 01:50:32 even fit into one hotel we're buying up all the hotel two hotels to fit all of our delegates oh yes and all of that and i think we we were because all the hotels are controlled by the rnc is that how it works yes so we're we're going to be at the RNC in Milwaukee, and we had to find alternate means because the RNC basically said, you have no guarantees at all. Good luck. Give us your money. And we were like, no. But to get hotels.
Starting point is 01:50:57 I'm not the one in charge of handling all the event stuff because we have staff for that. Yeah. But something happened where it's like, okay, we need to find hotel rooms for our staff. We're going to be there producing the show. And so we reached out to a hotel room and they're like, the RNC has everything controlled. And then the RNC said something like, if you book rooms, we can't guarantee they'll be in the same place. We can't guarantee you'll get the room you asked for. So there you go.
Starting point is 01:51:20 Airbnb. Yeah. So, but we actually found alternate means of setting everything up. So I think we're going to be like outside the city or something. I don't know. Well, in fact, many of the delegations are way outside the city. We were, you know, it was a point of humor that people who supported me for chair of the RNC were wondering if their state's delegation was going to end up being in, you know, Chicago or the next state or something like that. That didn't happen to be true but um yeah you in in uh cincinnati in the cleveland um rnc convention
Starting point is 01:51:52 california was two hours away now here's the thing that there's the rnc and the dnc and the reason we're not going to the dnc is because the dnc is the dangerous one where people will likely get mercilessly beaten and or killed. And it's in Chicago, which is just like, wow, that seems just like chaos, a political nuclear bomb. Well, wasn't it 68 in Chicago? I mean, that was the big one. It's just you take the chaos of Chicago, add it to the chaos of this year. And the left does not like Joe Biden. They're not going to protest the rnc i really don't think so in uh in 2016 yes they are yeah but in okay in 2016 the
Starting point is 01:52:34 protests at the rnc were like a handful of people and the protests at the dnc were thousands of people smashing the barricades and jumping in and storming trying to storm their way into the building so in milwaukee yeah you'll probably see some stuff i mean you know i don't know how crazy it would get we're not really concerned about it with our assessments and what we expect to happen the dnc is like no i've grown quite fond of living so i'll be avoiding that baseline in chicago is violence right so it's not the baseline in Milwaukee. No, I think Milwaukee will be more terroristic threats. Yes. The far left will be calling venues and bars and hotels. I mean, this Hamas protest nonsense is definitely going to be front and center.
Starting point is 01:53:15 But the Hamas people are angry with Biden, not Trump. They don't like Trump. It doesn't matter. It's chaos. It's disrupting. It's getting attention for themselves. They're not angry at the people of San Francisco either, but they're preventing people from getting to the hospital, like getting their organs. Like somebody missed an organ transplant when they blocked the Bay Bridge. I imagine are going to be in the thousands. It's going to be violent. It's going to be a mess. They're planning for violence there. I mean,
Starting point is 01:53:46 they're the organizers are organizing to be violent, to shut things down, to get in the way, to cause up a big mess and chaos. Yeah. There's a lot of, I mean, for all the despair on our side,
Starting point is 01:53:58 there's a lot of, there's a lot of, you know, disagreement on the left. All right. Zierge says, my dad passed away a few days ago. He was murdered by the government at Camp Lejeune. He's in the lawsuit, but they're sitting on his and so many other cases.
Starting point is 01:54:15 I need help getting in touch with Trump so he can share my dad's message. I'm sorry to hear about your dad, man. I don't know what to do or how to assist with that class action lawsuits for for what it's worth do take years um and then at the end lawyers make a lot of money but hopefully with the damages in these cases there will be good good settlements for people tyrant says was trying to super chat about my opinion on the civil war movie ending and youtube won't let me because it's against the policies yep did you see that movie civil war or hear about it no they you know nick offerman plays the president and he's saying he's not trump and
Starting point is 01:54:58 they're saying it's apolitical it's basically a movie about Trump or at least the Trump predecessor, you know, and a civil war breaks out in California and Texas storm D.C. and kill the president. Oh, boy. Yeah, it's a crazy film. The movie is actually just about journalists on a road trip. But didn't they make the journalists the heroes? Not really. They're actually scumbags in the film. They're the protagonists, but they're not good people.
Starting point is 01:55:24 Yeah, I think I think the takeaway for the film is that you should hate journalists afterwards and i'm not making a joke well you you probably should the uh there's a scene where there's gunfire and people are being killed and the one journalist looks at the younger journalist and he smiles and nods and she smiles back at him. Why? Because this is what journalists do in conflict. When I saw that, I loved it. I'm like, people need to understand that in war reporting, these journalists are basically
Starting point is 01:55:54 cranking themselves off to what's going on. They're excited. They love it. They get a thrill from it. They smile and laugh when they watch people getting shot. I'm not exaggerating. That's awful.
Starting point is 01:56:04 In the movie, the tanks are rolling in. There's guys up on a building. They blow them up. And then he looks over and he smiles. He's like, yeah. And she's like, yeah. And then starts taking pictures. That's what they do.
Starting point is 01:56:15 And I was like, I'm glad they're showing people this. I'm glad I'm not a journalist. There's that photo I like to show where we showed it last week. There's a dead girl who got hit by a stray gunfire and she's collapsed and dead. And then one of the photographers. No, no, no. This is real life. This is real life.
Starting point is 01:56:31 One of the photographers, it was in Haiti, in Port-au-Prince, was surrounded by a gaggle of photographers, all just snapping endless photos of a dead girl on the ground. So he got up and walked to the side and took a picture of the press taking a picture of the dead girl so people could see what it was like. And that was the award-winning photo of what the journalists do i remember in uh in what was it 2021 there was was it 2020 anyway it was some time and there was a walkaway rally remember those walkaway rallies and there was uh there was like a there were all the walkaway people and then there was a little tiny protest of people against the walkaway people and then there was a little tiny protest of people against the walkaway people and one of the walkaway people went over to um the counter protest and it
Starting point is 01:57:11 was like a a man and a woman one on one side with one kind of sign and one with the opposing sign and they just stood there having a conversation uh and it got a little heated, but I did the same thing. I took a step back and what there was were 20 photographers and reporters all shooting pictures of this like major conflict of two people having a conversation at the edge of a rally. And for me, like that was the biggest takeaway. And I have it, I have it like in a pretty prominent place and I look at it and I'm like, correct. You know, it's not the thing.
Starting point is 01:57:45 It's this. They call themselves vultures. Yeah. They look at it and I'm like, correct. It's not the thing, it's this. They call themselves vultures. Yeah, they look like it. That is not an insult. They call themselves vultures. And that's what they do. So it's funny when you'll get murmurings of like a major protest or something. And then my favorite are when like 10 protesters show up there's 100 press and then
Starting point is 01:58:06 those journalists are there and many of them are on assignment so they're like we have to get something from this and so especially the stringers so they oh yeah they're i need money and so they will manufacture they will a guy will you know pick up a bottle and then chuck it over into a garbage can, take a picture and they'll say violent protester throws bottle or who knows what, whatever they can make happen out of it. Yeah. It's theater. It's hard.
Starting point is 01:58:33 Yeah. Well, then the best part is the far at least has a dramatic story arc. The far left has a saying, don't smash cameras. They can pay your rent. Well, that makes sense. Right. And one of my, one of my, one of of the most interesting I'll put it this way moments was that the no NATO protests 12 years ago, Antifa had formed a line and then abruptly yelled, get
Starting point is 01:58:56 the press. And then they all started charging at the journalists. The journalists panicked and fled. One thing I really love about journalists, and this is meant to be sarcastic was is when uh someone will be seriously injured i saw a person who was bleeding seriously from the head and chicago and medics were attending to him and the journalists were shoving people out of the way they get pictures of the person bleeding out and and the medics were like these are activist medics too they're like can you get that camera out of our faces?
Starting point is 01:59:25 And the person was bleeding, was yelling, please stop, please stop. And the journalists don't care. They shove you out of the way. And there's like five guys and they're just snapping away. You don't exist to them. And so then it was shortly after that, they yelled, get the press. And then they started attacking journalists. And I'm like, yeah, well, you know, I'm not surprised.
Starting point is 01:59:43 Interesting. Yep. Not all conflict reporters are bad. I've worked with a lot of good ones. We make fun of the bad ones, but there's so many bad ones. They laugh and they smile and they gloat and they cheer for this stuff. It's been on my mind a lot, maybe since we saw that movie, maybe that's why, that people that chase rage for money.
Starting point is 01:59:57 And it's so easy to get people angry and then they agree with you and then they add revenue. Sounds like you're describing social media influencers. It's like my career. I feel like sometimes I'm like, we talk about problems and it's like we have to walk the line about not not like just giving over to the love where are the problems i need more problems or i can't be profitable tonight like that's right oh i'll grab one more here kane abel says jordan peterson is more like a dad matt walsh is a best friend but not sure about a dad i disagree it's the other way around. I agree.
Starting point is 02:00:25 Jordan Peterson is the guy who's like, you've got to get your life straight, man. What are you doing? You know, like, clean your room. And you're like, you know, you're right, Jordan. He buys you another beer. Yeah. Matt Walsh is the guy who's like, shut your mouth, you idiot. You clean your room now or you're not getting ice cream.
