It's a remarkable moment in the Trump trial. Not only did we get this amazing moment yesterday where Michael Cohen's own lawyer testifies to the House that he's lying under oath, which is kind of an insane thing. How does this happen? His lawyer comes out and says, Cohen told me years ago there's nothing on Trump. He's got nothing. And this lawyer saying, Michael, give me anything on Trump and all of your troubles go away. And Michael's like, I don't have anything.

And now here and he breaks down the story of why Michael paid Stormy Daniels, how this is currently fake. I thought that was shocking enough. Then today in trial on cross-examination, Michael Cohen was caught in an outright lie so dramatic that news is reporting it as a TV drama moment where he claims he's on the phone talking about this payment. And then the lawyer was like, in fact, you lied. And then he like shows the proof that and then there's like they called it a pin drop TV aha moment. It is it is absolutely silly that we've not not even got to the defense yet. It's just the prosecution. And everyone knows

it's fake. CNN, Fareed Zakaria saying this is this is illegitimate. MSNBC legal analysts saying it's illegitimate. They really screw this one up. So we'll talk about that. And then we got some some interesting news pertaining to we'll talk about what's going on with Harrison Butker and the attempts to ban him. A hundred thousand signatures on a petition to get him fired from the Kansas City Chiefs. But we got we got a whole bunch of different political commentators here tonight.

here we go from the daily mail michael cohen is torn to shreds to shreds you say by trump's attorneys in blistering cross-examination over stormy daniel's hush money payments so man there's so much to get through in this trump trial we already have two instances where cohen is caught lying the big big story from that was yesterday bleeding in today is that Michael Cohen's own lawyer came out saying, this guy's lying under oath because I already went through these issues with him years ago. And I know none of this is true, testified to the GOP or to the House Committee on Weaponization of Government. And then before we even get into all of that, we have this moment

from the court, which they're calling a TV drama, rare in real life, aha moments, where Michael Cohen claimed that he was on the phone talking about this payment to Stormy Daniels. But as it turns out, they actually have proof he was talking about a prank caller. It was a short phone call. They have proof he was talking to this kid on the phone, and he's threatening him. And the kid's like, I'm only 14, man. And so then he tries lying in court. This is absolutely fascinating. The wild thing about it is you end up with even CNN here. We have this MAGA war room. Matt Walsh called me out for calling it MAGA. I say MAGA, I guess. CNN's Jake Tapper

on President Trump's attorney, Todd Blanche, catching Michael Cohen in a lie today. This seems pretty bad. Let's let's let's play a quick clip from our good friends over at CNN. Has he so unbelievable and not to be believed? Well, I think one of the things that they've accomplished today, Blanche is raising his voice now as he's asking Cohen to say that to asking Cohen if the call records show a conversation with Schiller about the harassment, not with Trump about Daniels. So what they're doing here, Ellie, is they have. I guess of the effectiveness will be up to the jury, but Todd Blanche has now made the point not only has Michael Cohen lied before Congress, not only has he lied before various judges, not only has he lied in any number of places, he has lied before you today. Michael Cohen says part of it was the 14 year olds.

This is about the the which of the call. What was the call about? Part of it was the 14 year old. This is about the the which of the call. What was the call about? Part of it was the 14 year old. But I know Keith was with Mr. Trump at the time and there was more potentially than this. But yeah, yeah, yeah. Busted. It's what I can't wait for that guy to moderate a debate. Isn't that great? It's going to be so exciting, actually. Do you know the big challenges with a story like this this? Is that we are so deep and entrenched in the they're lying about Trump now eight years, nine years on that. I just assume everyone already knows it's all fake. Yeah, I realized a few weeks ago I was doing a panel with pro and anti-Trump Republicans.

I had just kind of taken for granted that we basically all unless you're literally on CNN yourself. No, this is all a ruse. This is all fake. This is basically just made up to try and wage lawfare against Trump to hurt his campaign. There are actually still never Trump Republicans who are convinced like this. This is all real. He's an actual literal criminal. He's trying to overthrow democracy.

And it was it was kind of a wake up call for me. Hang on, maybe I'm in a bubble because there are people who still believe this BS. I think it's crazy. The fact that the media's attitudes towards this is really what controls a lot of nonpoliticals opinion. Yesterday, they were going after Todd Blanchard, basically saying, like, he's not punching this guy hard enough. He doesn't have anything on Cohen.

What is he doing? They're really critical of how he, you know, handled the first day of cross. And then today we have this evidence and it's like, hey, maybe this team has a plan. Maybe you're not going to be able to defend what you said yesterday to everyone who you said the defense has nothing because it really does come down to tying Michael Cohen. All of these key witnesses they've had for weeks, they need Michael Cohen to tie all of this together. And he's not credible.

The craziest thing was when I heard they heard on the news, they said Cohen is wrapping up the prosecution's case. And I was like, wait, wait, they've not presented any evidence. The argument for many of these anti-Trump Republicans and Democrats was they're waiting to drop the bombshell evidence the last minute. And then they were like, yeah, we had Cohen and he's caught lying. And that's it. Thank you.

So this is a terrible way to close it out. Like this is their star witness. This is like having Nickelback close out your music festival. Hey, Nickelback's huge. So it I'm trying to think of a better metaphor. No, that was good. That was perfect. Thank you, Lauren.

Controversial already tonight. I reject that. Lauren's Canadian, so she has the right to speak on Nickelback. Nickelback had a song I I think, 16 weeks at number one. And some leftists who were protesting in Chicago made a meme about Nickelback being bad. And then everyone just parroted it. But they're just some band. So I debate you, sir.

But are we using popular opinion to determine good music tim i mean we can i i think i think we'd be better off saying like having cardi b or like you know wop wop yeah you know what i mean but that's that's another song that charted i guess so in terms of like well nickelback had a song that charted cardi b is up there with her wop i would i would give anything to hear nickelback's cover of wop that's a a good point. I thought we could AI that. Anyway, back to your actual point. I saw Jack Black singing Hit Me Baby One More Time on social media, and that was actually, that was banging.

That was a heater. So my point is that he's a liar. He's gone to prison for lying. He's been caught in demonstrable empirical lies to Congress, to pretty much every single government agency. He's already written a letter and signed it saying that none of this happened. And his own lawyer is coming out against him. So the guy who was paid to defend him is coming out saying in Congress yesterday, this guy is a liar. And so the nature of liars is, of course, you have no idea when they're lying or what they're lying about. And so you shouldn't involve yourself with liars. If you have a girlfriend and she tells you

that she's going to the grocery store and you found out that she didn't go to the grocery store and she lies to you and she can't tell you where she went, you got to dump that girlfriend. That's an unhealthy relationship. That is a toxic relationship. You cannot hang around liars. You should not be in the council of liars. And Michael Cohen is their star witness, and he is a dirty rat liar. And it's blown up. According to all the people who've come on our program, members of Congress, Trump's lawyers, Alina Haba, they're sitting there in the courthouse looking at the jury, and they're saying, these people aren't convinced. I don't care if they came from the upper east side. I don't care if they already had predetermined Trump biases, anti-Trump biases. They're not convinced. The jurors don't like this.

And nobody wants the, if you have a shred of morality, you don't want to put an innocent man in prison. You don't want to be the person who voted to put an innocent man in jail or convict an innocent man. I think it's a bust. I think today was the bust. I agree. I agree. But I would not discount when it comes to closing arguments, when the prosecution is looking at the jury and making their case, I wouldn't be surprised if they say things like. Think about Donald Trump and everything you've heard about him and what he's done. Here in this courtroom and take that into consideration when you are going to decide whether he should be free to continue all of the things you've heard he's done

in the courtroom. You see my point? The prosecution is, I believe they're going to try and frame it as much as possible as, I know it's BS, but this is your chance to put him away.

Just do it. And regardless of whether the prosecution tries to do that, there is also the chance that the jury may just, I mean, look at Trump, not like him and convict anyway, or be so filled with TDS that they haven't been paying attention this entire time. And we've seen with Derek Chauvin that the justice system isn't perfect. So I think there's definitely a chance that, I mean, regardless of whether this case makes any sense or not, Trump's reputation is going to precede him. You just need one. You just need one. That's what people are saying the entire time about Bragg, why he brought the case.

And previously, people didn't bring the case, not because they didn't think they could prove a crime. But he is trying to, like, bring in Stormy Daniels and not even list the crime that they're going after. And they're just trying to muddy up his reputation and have the most salacious testimony possible. And then, yeah, the star witnesses for this case, Stormy Daniels and then Michael Cohen, a convicted perjurer liar, and not even tell the jury what the crime they're going after, is basically just to damage his reputation even further. And what you're saying to take everything that you know about Donald Trump into account when making your decision, regardless, if there's the crime that they're trying to say that he committed, but you know, haven't told the jury yet. They just want them to act on their, you know, beliefs and everything that they think

about Donald Trump. Exactly. Did you see that Mitt Romney did this MSNBC interview and he was saying Biden should have pardoned Trump? He should never have let he should have done everything in his power to prevent this from getting prosecuted because ultimately it's not working out in their favor. Mitt Romney wants so bad to be president. It's really sad. It's so sad. Well, look, he could unify everybody. I think that Mitt Romney... Because it worked the first time he tried to win. I think the goal for Mitt Romney is to end up in an electoral college tie

where neither Biden nor Trump wins and they find a consensus candidate and he becomes that candidate. I think that's his goal. In the Dean Carroll case, when he was asked, are you going to vote for Trump? And he's like, well, I could never vote for anyone who has been convicted in a case that implies sexual battery against a woman. And he'd be like, sir, please see yourself out.

Just head on out. You're going to retire. Mitt Romney's always got an angle, man. He's the Jeb meme. I like the photo of him with Trump where it looks like Mitt Romney is crying. Yeah, the dinner one. That's great. That's a great photo.

I used Chet GPT, and it generated a series of projections of which most of them said trump wins either slightly or in in like substantial ways but one of them was a tie so basically basically what i was doing was i was looking at 2020 polling data taking the results of 2020 taking their polling data plugging in 2024 polling data currently, and then adjusting the vote totals based on how the polling data is different. So like if Biden was up by one point in this state and Trump is up in one point this state, it basically inverts their like how their vote record would turn out based on party affiliation.

And the first projection it gave me was 269 to 269, which actually some pundits have projected as a strong possibility but the end result of that is a trump harris administration because the house chooses the president and that when it's a tie and the senate chooses the vice president so they pick oh my god what if what if hold on what if it's a tie and then the house chooses trump and then the Senate chooses Biden. Oh, my gosh. Trump-Biden. Are we still operating under the assumption that Biden is going to make it to November? How do we feel about that? He's already, what, three years past the average life expectancy for an American male, not to mention he's got plates in his brain.

He is. I saw the best tweet ever. They said it was a tweet from the like CNN announces the debate June 27th, and they said, we are about to see the Manhattan Project of Psychoactive Simulants. I did see this, yes. That was a great one. All of the methamphetamines just in his coffee. Oh, it's something new. It's top tier stuff.

He doesn't go to Delaware every weekend for nothing. That's all I'm saying. Pupils are going to be black. Like the video that we always play. He's going to look like an anime. Yeah, I mean, they keep finding bags of Coke everywhere. Everywhere he goes. The State of the Union was not too long ago.

Bag of Coke in the Capitol. They just found one. Right, right, right. Wasn't there one in the White House as well? Yeah, yeah. But it's not like they keep cameras there, so we could never know. And they got DNA. capital they just found one right right yeah yeah in the white house yeah yeah i mean they're all cameras there so we could never know and they got dna they got dna on the bag of coke and they won't tell us who it is yeah they have the dna samples it's at quantico it's at the fbi labs and they

have the dna why tell us they have it uh they're protecting somebody but like why even say wouldn't they just look at the bag on the ground and look around and then shuffle it under the rug? Figuratively? Yeah, right. The interesting thing about this is that there are only a few people who get waved into the White House. So, have you ever been to the White House? Yeah. Okay. You don't get waved in. You don't get waved in. Only

family members get waved in. If you go to the White, if I go to the White House, I've been to the White House a couple times, you have to actually go through this humiliating, degrading situation where you stand on a giant rubber mat and a german shepherd an angry german shepherd that's massive okay i don't know where they breed these things uh it's like it like smells you it's super it's really humiliating literally and and you stand there and it smells you for drugs and you have to go through you have to go through this process to go into the white house and there's no way somebody's getting a bag of coke into the

white house no no no normal person is getting a bag of coke into the white house because you have to go through this process to go into the White House. There's no way somebody is getting a bag of Coke into the White House. No normal person is getting a bag of Coke into the White House because you have to go through that process. They give you like a badge first, right? Yeah. Well, only afterwards. Yeah. Only afterwards you get your badge. You've gone through obviously very rigorous training.

Pre-vetted with your social security number, all of that, and like having an appointment. Yeah. Way more than airport security. But you're going through a similar process with wanding and all that. Yep. I would say they don't just waive. Family members.. Criminal background, yeah. Yeah, way more than airport security. But you're going through a similar process with wanding and all that. Yep. I would say they don't just wave. Family members.

No, no, no, but they don't even wave them in. They rush them in. Like family members. Family members are under guard and brought in through everything because those are the people they're trying to protect from you. Yeah, but there's another twist here

that's very interesting. So these were in lock boxes that were on the bottom level next to the situation room that normal people don't go into. Okay? So if you're a visitor of the White House, if you're there on a tour and it's just some crankhead kid who just wants to get a hit blow in the White House, it would be just great. I don't even think you can tell. You can tell if you have so many drugs. I'm so good with my lingo.

I'll stick with assault. I'll stick with assault. I'll stick with assault memes. But it wasn't that person. What I'm saying is this was at a, you have to know the White House, this was at a entrance that you only go through if you are a member of family or a member of staff. It wasn't at an entrance that was accessible to a tourist group or to a bunch of kids. Benny, I feel like you're onto something. We need to make a film in the style of like Harold and Kumar go to White Castle.

It's about some college kids whose dream is to do Below in the White House. Specifically White House. Think about what it would be like in the White House, the one place you can't get in. And then just the shenanigans of them doing a heist, but it's just to do drugs. I'd watch it. That explains how it got there. It's just, you know. To rip a rail off the bust of Teddy Roosevelt.

Oh my gosh. You're saying that's the American dream? I'm saying that's my American dream. Well, so the latest news is what was like Capitol Police found more. Yeah. Yeah. Just laying around on the floor inside of the Capitol Police. Just regular things.

Did anybody check where Hunter's at? Yeah, that's right. Yeah. So. I feel bad for that family. I really, because, you know, you look at the Ashley Biden diary, which is now confirmed. Snopes has confirmed it. Yep.

She writes in there that she thinks she was molested. She writes in there on that same page that her dad was taking showers with her, which she thought were inappropriate. I think she's making an accusation against her dad. And it's remarkable that you can have people try to defend that. So I got to tell you, I think Joe Biden abused his kids. That's that's why they're kind of, you know, traumatized. I'll call it that doesn't absolve them of their sin. But, you know, so just really quickly here, there's a book out about Joe Biden's Secret Service detail when he was vice president.

And women would ask to be taken off the Secret Service detail because Joe Biden was naked so much. This is a known fact. This is reported out. This is in a book from a leftist, OK, or for The Washington Post. But he said that Joe Biden, part of his book was the women would beg to be taken off because Joe Biden would swim naked. He'd wander around naked. He talked to them completely naked. And this was at the vice president's residence. This wasn't in Wilmington. This was in the center of Washington, D.C. in one observatory circle where the vice president lives. It's a military base. And Joe Biden's just walking around with dick and balls out. This explains corn pop. But it does. Like, my theory is that because he told that story where he's like, I got hairy legs.

The kids, they rub my legs and the hair would come up. You're Corn Pop. You're just some local dude. And there's Joe Biden trying to get naked. He's at the pool and the kids are rubbing his legs. And you're like, yo, get away from them kids, dude. And then he's like, I'm going to, like, I think Corn Pop challenged him to a fight because Joe was doing this weird stuff with kids. Corn Pop was the hero all along.

I wouldn't, I think. Somebody has to find this guy and with kids. Corn Pop was the hero all along. Somebody has to find this guy and interview him. I need to know. I am dead serious when I think that's probably what happened. This story that he called the guy Esther Williams, so he challenged him to a fight with a straight. Get out of here. In the same breath, he's telling the story. He says the kids are rubbing his legs in the pool.

Corn Pop goes, hey, man, you stay away from them kids. And then Joe Biden whips out a chain and slams down on the ground. And they're like, yo, fight there we go the stories are connected i think that makes sense well because it was the same speech yeah it was the same speech at the pool and it's like why did he tell the story about corn pop and the kids rubbing his hairy legs at the same time it's because he's imagining that moment yeah what look when you look at the videos of him touching the kids i'm like i gotta be honest he says the kids are rubbing his legs he's on video sniffing kids and then you hear a story about a guy trying to trying to fight him because he called him esther oh get out of here dude corn pop was trying to protect those kids i really do think that i do that's the movie that needs to be made corn pop with the entire soundtrack the entire soundtrack original soundtrack from nickelback i

was gonna say we're onto something here. Yeah. I think the Biden family is just not anyone's cup of tea. Like, I don't know anyone who saw, what was his granddaughter who got married in the White House? No one looked at that wedding and was like, great. Like, everyone sort of just gives it a wide berth. No one is excited about the Biden family. And I think it's because there is a lot of sort of dark energy there.

It's not the same reception that you see to not just like Trump's family, but other even Democratic families. Yeah, like everyone loved the Obamas. I mean, Michelle Obama, the daughters. No one is crazy about Jill Biden. I mean, they'll defend her being a doctor every now and then, but no one's fawning over But you don't want that kind of doctor when you have a heart attack. She can teach English all she wants, but that's not the move.

But you're right, they love the Obamas. I mean, it's just, there is something off about the family and they can't do anything to make them marketable. And that's interesting.

He's been in politics his whole life. There's only one group of people that don't like the Obamas and that's 16-year-old American citizens in Yemen. That's true.

Yeah. Maybe all of the 100,000 Yemenese children who are dead, you know, and the other Americans. Not a big voting constituency, though, so he doesn't have to worry about it. Middle Eastern wedding attendants. I feel bad for Corn Pop because I'm imagining what he must have been thinking when he saw Biden get the vice presidency and then the presidency. He's just sitting there like, god what have we done yeah the people must know and then you know that's it no one ever heard from him again but that's why i mean i think i'm looking at newsom and i think it's really weird that the governor of california

is doing national events like he's going to like bookstores in iowa he's doing interviews again nationwide television talking about biden's accomplishments it's like he's going to like bookstores in Iowa. He's doing interviews, again, nationwide television talking about Biden's accomplishments. It's like he's campaigning on behalf of Biden because Biden's incapable of doing it. I just think it's really it's a weird move for him to be doing if he just wants to be governor of California. But he doesn't. I mean, if he doesn't get a chance earlier, he'll run in 2028 for sure. Well, not that anyone would want him to. But I guess California. So Tucker was on Joe Rogan's podcast

and he says, Gavin Newsom just called me the other day. Why is Gavin Newsom calling Tucker Carlson? Just to check in. Hey, hey, hey, good Tucker. I'm going to go back to what I said in November. Imagine Joe Biden is doing rallies.

He's in California for a rally and he's on stage and he says, you know, we're going to win again four more years. He grabs his chest. Newsom throws his jacket, runs out full speed,

pulling his sleeves up. CPR saves the president's life. And then everyone's shocked and gaffed. Secret Service, they come, they pull Biden out. And then, you know, news reports Biden is is in stable condition. He suffered a, you know, a heart event, but he is OK. Gavin Newsom then does the entire press junket, every single outlet.

Everyone wants the interview. You saved the president's life. What happened? He says, look, I was doing what any American would have done. And then Joe Biden can come out and say, ladies and gentlemen, people of America, I think it is just past my time and suffering this injury. I don't think I can be the leader you need me to be. But there is someone who has proven he has the leadership skills. Boom. I think even if he had, I mean, that would be an interesting transition.

I think even if Biden had some sort of public undeniable health emergency, the White House would be like, no, he was just pausing for dramatic effect. They would just try to walk that off as hard as possible. I don't think Biden wants to leave. I don't think Jill wants to leave. I don't think they want to leave either. But I feel like the Democratic Party, they've got to be kind of talking amongst themselves, at the very least, thinking like, all right, we are staying even if it means he's got to

go. Because for them, it's bigger than just Joe Biden. Right. Joe Biden has a heart attack. Then Karine Jean-Pierre is doing the press briefing. Ducey is like, can you comment on the president's having a heart attack? And she goes, he didn't have a heart attack. That's not what happened.

He was just pausing for dramatic effect. it's like we all watched him grip his chest and groan he was it was a metaphor and he was making a statement about the state of of this country he was just moved by his feelings for america yeah he was actually citing the pledge of allegiance that next question no they really would i mean anything biden does they just try to be like like you remember there was a while where she was like no he has been to the border like yeah he's been a public official official for years and years and years like everyone can verify that he hadn't been kamala kamala was saying it like she was like getting irritated to like every reporter asking she's like we've been to the border we've been to the

border we're going are you guys all delusional like i don't know what to say here but and then they were like no no we're going now it's fine now that you guys have all called us out but it was our idea first do do do the do they really live in the world then they were like, no, no, we're going now. It's fine. Now that you guys have all called us out. But it was our idea first. Do they really live in the world where they're like, let's just keep lying. CNN is no longer backing them. Anderson Cooper. I mean, it's funny because we have this town hall article pulled up, but we haven't because we haven't even got to this other Michael Cohen story.

Anderson Cooper is twitchy. Michael Cohen was cornered, what appeared to be a lie. Like the Biden administration has lost the corporate press. Yeah. So either the plan from the deep state is to like, I don't know, shuffle out Joe Biden for Gavin Newsom or Biden is just overplayed and they're just like, we got nothing. Like you at a certain point, even the stupidest american stops believing it yeah i think the plan for the deep state is to let trump win i really do i agree i completely

believe that donald trump is going to win and maybe win by 100 electoral votes i think the plan i think the plan is to is that trump's going to win i think that is the plan every all the evidence that i see uh everything from his support of Mike Johnson to sort of this like this like more consensus look for the Republican Party to the floating of Marco Rubio as the vice president. He's on the Intel Committee. He chairs the Intel Committee in the Senate. I think all of it signals to the decision has been made that we're no longer going to fight the inevitability of Donald Trump. And more importantly, what's happening right now is big bumper cars, big bumpers are being put on a potential Trump administration.

So a bunch of laws are being passed and a lot of stuff's being put into play to just kind of like lock in what they have right now with the eventuality, like knowing that they're going to allow Trump. And it's not because they like Trump. I think that they realize that if what happens in 20, what happened in 2020 happens again, everyone's going to lose faith in all of the institutions, all the systems and in the entire regime and the entire process. And so they have to kind of like let democracy actually happen and let people get what they want to reinforce

that this is, you know, that this is real. And that's what I believe is going to happen. I believe Trump's going to win clearly on election night. I hope you're right. I hope Trump, frankly, is making deals backstage with the swamp. Every establishment, politician and bureaucrat there is. I hope he's shaking all those hands making deals. But then I hope once he gets into office, he backstabs and betrays every single one of them like they definitely did to him so that's my

machiavellian hope for trust because that was one of his like in in 2017 that was one of his biggest mistakes is that he had sort of this kind of amnesty towards people that have wronged him in the past like we talk about all the time he didn't like uh pursue charges against hillary clinton he's like all right i you know it was fun saying you should be in jail but you know we're not gonna arrest our political opponents or whatever and then he hired like Reince Priebus, all these like establishment people, and then they all stabbed him in the back. So to do the same thing in reverse, that would be I hope we see dark Trump, dark Trump 2024. I want to I want to talk about go back to what Benny was just saying and start over for a second. You're saying

that you think Donald Trump will win. It's the deep state plan. I'm going to ask you to elaborate on it once more. But before I do, while you were telling us, I went over to chat GPT and I typed in current favorability among independents for Trump is 39 percent and Biden is 28 percent. Assuming this correlates directly to voting and based on the total voter turnout in 2020, calculate the total national electoral vote count for 2024. It's not science. It's just pull the numbers. What do you get? Yo, it said what you said. Trump wins by nearly 200 electoral votes based on this estimate. It's not scientific. I don't know that this actually matters. But looking just right now at how independents voted in 2020, they were favoring Biden, according to the polls, according to the polls are favoring

Trump. Chat GPG, chat to GPT just pulls all the total vote counts for each state, makes an estimate based on what the total percentage of people who are independent voters. It's a range from between 33 and 43 percent. And then assuming Trump has a 10 percent edge, it calculates what that voter is. Voter turnout is going to be in each state. And that's the number it gives us. It varies. It changes every time you ask. But I genuinely believe as well.

Everything you said, I agree with. I looked at Mike Johnson supporting Ukraine, Taiwan, Israel, Donald Trump meeting with Mike Johnson, Mike Johnson defending him. And my theory is that with the Israel crisis among Democrats, the youth vote just basically being no, no to Israel, the Democrats and Republicans unifying on banning TikTok, then Trump coming out saying I'm the most pro-Israel president and then defending, standing up for Mike Johnson, working with Mike Johnson on this bill. I'm like, I won't be surprised if the deep state basically went to Trump and said, all right, it's time to compromise. Let's cut a deal. And so how, you know, with Joe Biden

canceling the military or blocking the military, and I'm like, I think it is being set up right now for a Trump victory. Matt Walsh was saying last night he thinks Trump wins. But then as soon as he's out, the deep state erases everything he did. And so it's basically, you know, give baby his bottle. But then we're going to come in full force after the fact. Trump was for a new FBI building. Right. That's interesting. Yeah. You know, I'm a huge Trump fan. I'm a massive Trump fan. But this guy wrote The Art of the Deal. And if you read The Art of the Deal, which of course is sort of Trump in a book, in a single book, it is about doing this style of dealmaking. And you have to rewind the clock back just a little bit because you have to remember the really good times, but the year was 2018. There are photos of Dick Durbin

and Elizabeth Warren and a bunch of these people in the Oval Office, like laughing it up with Trump and clapping Trump on the side. And they were like getting along. They were trying to strike a immigration deal. They were trying to strike like a border, like a border deal. And then Trump was like wheeling and dealing with them. This is Donald Trump. It's always been one of the ways that he's the best at foreign policy, right?

He can actually negotiate better with foreign leaders. The guy walked into North Korea. He walked into North Korea. I think it was a Photoshop. There is a photo of him on a skateboard potentially going to North Korea. I don't know. I'm not sure. I don't know. Maybe we could pull it up. We could fact check that. But imagine a world where, and I don't think people put this in perspective, we're at war with North Korea. We are still actively at war with North Korea. There was never a peace treaty signed. America is technically

at war with North Korea. So this dictator welcomes the guy who's the president of the country there's a war with. The only reason they don't own the entire Korean peninsula is America. And welcomes him in, claps him on the shoulder. And you can see Kim Jong-un is like starstruck.

Trump then calls him thin to troll him to his face, right? And laughs in his face. And he couldn't be having a better time. Then he meets with Trump like two more times. This is the nature of the guy. Like make the deal, get it done, like accomplish the mission. I really love, ChatGPT is stupid for a lot of reasons.

But now that it has access to the internet, it is speeding up my math like in amazing ways. So there was a poll that came out several years ago on sentiment pertaining to civil war and yeah ding the bell ding the bell actually take a shot so it's so they have this poll where it's by region there's five regions and they they pulled each political they pulled each a group of people in each region and then they separated them by political affiliation and it was actually quite amazing they found in the midwest independence overwhelmingly wanted to secede from the union

and create their own midwestern bloc wow in california and in oregon it was democrats in texas it was republicans in order to get a national level sample of of this i had to go through each state create a spreadsheet type in the total populations sample size and extrapolate all this data chat gpt you go in and does it for you. So what I did was, based on those calculations, I said, I asked it, use these figures. First thing I asked it was, what is the percent of voters that are independent? It says, according to Gallup, right now, 40% is the figure of independent voters for the 2024 electorate. I said, is that the figure you used? It said, yes, it broke the numbers down. And I said, using these figures, calculate total votes for each state and

give me the national electoral count for 2024. And it literally does. California 2020 voter turnout, 17.8 million independent voters of 40 percent, 7.12 million votes for Trump among independents would be 2.78 to Biden's 1. nine. And then it basically goes down and then breaks down how many electoral votes Trump wins in each of these states. And then it's projecting right now based on the current numbers, three fifty one for Trump to Biden's one eighty seven. I think it's fair to say we don't know what the actual change and you've got the young voters that that's going to change things. You got the Israel issues. You cannot say that 2020 numbers directly correlate to 2024, but

I do think it is interesting that it's making these projections based on current polling. Yeah, I think Trump wins. That's a landslide. That's a 9 p.m. at night called it landslide. Done. Finished. Yeah, I think my view was, like, what state would

be the bellwether there? Like, what would be the state? Would, like, winning, what are they talking about uh minnesota they're talking about like some random yeah he wins some random stuff minnesota would be huge because that's that's they're saying it's democrat right and they're saying trump is going to win all of the swing states but i tell you we pulled up have you have you you've covered the help america vote verification story right havv the ssa.gov story with all the voters who don't have IDs? Yeah, that's right. So it's like,

that would be the one way to do it. Texas goes blue and Missouri goes blue and your swing states don't matter. Yeah. Texas goes blue, they call it for Biden right away. They say that's it, Trump can't win. In an upset, surprisingly, Texas, which we knew was trending blue because of transplants from California, actually crossed the threshold.

We're very surprised to see it happen, but that's it. Your swing states don't matter. Right now in the polls, the only thing people are tracking are the swing states. No one considers Texas in play. But when you look at the Social Security Administration website, for some reason, which has not been explained to anyone, no matter how many times people bring it up or ask, how is it that Texas is registering 250,000 voter registrations every two weeks with no IDs? Now, some have said it's because they're cleaning their voter rolls.

But didn't one of the states come out and say, no, we're not. Texas said, no, we're not. This is not true. We've not tracked this. They said, we've only added 50,000, not millions. Then you've got Biden's executive order, which was from 2021 about how the federal, any federal agency will, it will issue registrations to people and get them registered to vote for the States from the federal, at the federal level and help produce IDs that would

qualify as IDs in those States. My theory, I should say hypothesis. I don't know the probability is. The federal government is registering tons of people to vote, massive amounts of people. Who in the federal government and where would this be happening? I wonder. And submitting these registrations to the SSA for verification, Texas is unaware.

Texas has not registered these voters yet. But I wouldn't be surprised if you get a major bump in registered voters in Texas abruptly in the next couple of months. And the reason why Texas is saying we're not seeing this number is because the feds are doing it. And the feds will then say, we verified, certified. All of these are legit registrations. Here you go, Texas.

They're good. And then who are these people? Where are they coming from? What's going on? We don't know. Well, that's interesting because, I mean, there are reports that I've seen

that kind of show America as a whole is actually becoming more polarized in that there's always people saying like, oh, well, Texas is becoming blue because of the California transplants. I've seen studies and polling done that show that actually transplants who are going to the states, who are going to Florida, who are going to Texas and

Tennessee, they actually are conservative. So it's actually we're becoming more polarized that the liberals are staying in California, New York, and the you know, the few Republicans that are there, they're basically packing up shop and going to where there are like minded people. It's actually native born Texans who are in the cities like Austin and Dallas who are the blue ones. It's not just the transplants. So I don't know how that fits into, I guess, the overall shift that Texas is seeing. But yeah, I mean, I know that for a long time they've been saying like,

oh, it's going to be purple because of the transplants. I think it's going to be purple just because of the urbanites, frankly. Yeah, I think that is a big factor. I mean, I think the polarization is something people are experiencing on all levels of governments. And as, you know, blue states get bluer and red states get redder, you know, inevitably there is a chance we could see the swing states shift over time. But I think the reality is that most people look at their state and say, like, well, it doesn't matter if I vote here. So the biggest factor for me is always looking at like who is motivated to turn out

for voting. If you're in Austin and you're like, we're in this terrible red state and we have to go to the polls because it's the only way to do whatever. And you're a Republican in Texas and you're like, but we always go red. So it's fine. Like you might actually outnumber them, but you won't if you don't get to the ballot box. I want to clarify real quick, too, because I see someone in the chat saying Missouri is not blue. I want to clarify. Help America Vote Verification tracks the amount of people who have attempted to register to vote but do not have IDs in Missouri. They are tracking every week around 20 or so thousand attempts at registering from people who don't have IDs. This could be voter roll cleanup, which would be a misuse of the HAVV system because the Social Security Administration says the system is only for new voters and only should be

used when new voters attempt to register. The other big issue is that I believe it was February 17th, Missouri tracked something like 30,000 deceased registration attempts. Again, this could just be misuse of the system and they're cleaning their voter rolls. Probably simple solution, I guess. I would not be surprised if it did turn out in 2024 in November that the results come in and they say Missouri was an upset and Texas an upset and the pollsters never saw it coming. And then there's no explanation. There's no 4 a.m. vote shift. It happened. It's it's it's Ocean's 11. The heist

happened two weeks ago. What you're watching now was was the trick. But if Trump does win, what is the next move for the DNC? Like, where do they go post Biden? Newsom. He's the only he's the only figure in the Democratic Party that I can think of that has any type of nationwide popularity, name recognition. I mean, who I'm really struggling. Who else? I ask because I feel like Biden had basically implied like I will be the last white man for this party. He had been sort of like, I'm the end of this era. And then you'll have, you know, you know, a more diverse, maybe a little bit of color.

But there's no one I can think of sort of emerging as the front man for, I mean, maybe other than Newsom, for the DNC that had fit that description. It's hard because you have the squad who's very diverse and very progressive, but they're also pretty, pretty polarizing even within their own parties. Like, there are a lot of Democrats who don't like AOC, who don't like Ayanna Pressley, who don't like Rashida Tlaib, especially with all the Israel stuff going on. There are a lot of Democrats who are still pro-Israel, so I don't like aoc who don't like ayanna presley who don't like rashida to live especially with all the israel stuff going on there there are a lot of uh democrats who are still pro-israel so i don't really see them being able to lift any of those women up so i'm struggling to see aside from newsom who it is definitely not kamala harris jasmine crockett is the future okay

okay make that case her clips are hilarious okay like during the i forgot which one it was i think it was um the trump moral oh yeah trump mar-a-lago she's like oh yeah it's in the in the toilet in the shitter and i'm like oh my gosh she's like the future of the democrat party just because it encapsulates like the level of debate that they're at um i could see someone like that or i always joke about this it's her and fanny willis is is the dream ticket for the democrats maybe they bring elizabeth warren back national stage she is fun she does claim diversity she does see the appeal to her she's my senator so no i mean i think that the i think this is also true for the the manga movement

i do think that there are a lot of really interesting people, but there's not a clear heir apparent to Trump at this point. Oh, Barron. And so people are shipping Barron on X. They are writing fanfic of his. We've got a couple years before he qualifies. 2044. Before 2044, what are we doing?

Benny just sent me, there was a lawsuit filed in 2022 in Arizona, but in March 1st, the DOJ said court finds that Arizona voter registration provisions violate federal law. Isn't this amazing? It's just like I got to chill reading this. And I try my hardest not to blackpill. I'm an optimistic person by nature, red pillar or white pillar. But I got to tell you, I read this straight from our DOJ. So this is the DOJ's own website. And you can see right here that they are suing. They sued. And won. Quickly. And won here in the second paragraph. The House Bill 2492, onerous documentary proof of citizenship requirement for federal elections constitutes a textbook violation of the National Voter Registration Act.

So this is a quote from our own DOJ suing Arizona, saying that providing a proof of citizenship is a violation. Wow. That's crazy. Now hold on there a minute. Because March 1st, 2024, court finds that Arizona voter registration provisions violate federal law. There it is. Yo, the court previously ruled that Arizona may not require documentary proof citizenship to vote in a federal election.

Violates the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Did you see that in the quote? That's ridiculous. But this is what's so frustrating. So asking if you're a U.S. citizen to vote is now is. It's a violation of our civil rights to ask? Is this this is the decided. So this is the this is now this the courts, the U.S. district court for the District of Arizona struck down an Arizona requirement that individuals seeking to register to vote must list their birthplace as of House Bill 2492 violated a federal law that prevents election officials from rejecting voting materials for errors or omissions that are not material to determining a registrant's qualifications to vote. The court previously ruled that Arizona may not require documentary proof citizenship to vote in a federal election.

What? I just want to put it out there. It's in writing. Insane. Other countries don't have this problem. In America now, the political climate has been, it's controversial to ask for ID. It's controversial to make sure someone's a citizen. Other countries don't do this.

Other countries, even third world countries, you show ID, you show that you're eligible to vote. They count the votes that night, maybe the day after, and you're done. America is basically becoming a joke. It's crazy that we have to pretend like, oh yeah, this is normal. This is how elections always are. This is the way democracy works. Like, no, it's not.

We're leading democracy around the world, but we can't tell you if this person is here as a citizen who's partaking in this election. Did we miss this story? Like, this is March 1st that this ruling came down that not only you cannot require a claim of citizenship, but you can't even ask them where they're from. It would seem that what happened was Arizona says you've got to be a citizen to register. And the feds were like, no, you don't.

And they said, OK, well, then where are you from? Not you can't ask that either. It really does seem and Tucker Carlson pointed this out. Now we're looking at the H.A.V.VV story from these weird numbers that are popping up. Kind of feels like they're gearing up to have non-citizens vote. Yeah. I mean, in places like New York and I think in Boston, there are already areas where not with like a federal election or anything like that, but there are already local elections

where they are allowing non-citizens to vote. So they're already starting to introduce that into the Overton window. So next few years, absolutely, it's going to be an issue on the national level. It's like the globalist dream, right? There's no nations. There's no borders. Your nationality doesn't matter. It's kind of where you live.

Everyone's a global citizen. We're in control of the world, so borders are irrelevant. And Arizona's not allowed to do anything to protect its own election integrity, right? That's what they're saying. You have to abide by our rules no matter how it affects your state. The DOJ is fighting them. They fought them tooth and nail on this. And they spent, who knows, untold millions, hundreds of millions of taxpayer resources to go fight them to allow the pathway for noncitizens.

It's unconstitutional. Elections, according to the Constitution, are to be determined by the state legislation of each state. Them using the Civil Rights Act to intervene in state elections is insane. But, I mean, there is a legal precedent for this to be done on the federal level. Well, I mean, what about a poll tax? States don't have, we've established, they don't have the right to have a poll tax or a literacy test so this isn't the first time the federal government has stepped in and said no the i guess restrictions you're placing are too onerous and you're denying someone's right to vote so there's actually pretty good precedent for the federal government to do this so so how did the poll tax work like

it cost money is that what it was yeah yeah it cost money to vote yeah let's let's bring that back yes i agree like there was I got kind of heat on Twitter because there was this, I think it was Slate or something. It was a while ago. They posted one of the literacy tests that used to be given before you vote. And my take was basically,

you should be able to do this. Like, I'm sorry. Like there's no reason I can think of where you should have a sane government would not be able to do this. And I had all these people, well, actually, no, this could be vague. This is impossible.

I'll just say it. I'm not against a literacy test to be able to vote. I feel like if you're deciding, if you have any say in government, you should be able to read. Yeah. So I think the issue with the literacy tests was that they were intentionally confusing trick questions.

So I pulled it up. This test to be given to anyone who cannot prove a fifth grade education. So if you can't prove a fifth grade education, that's extremely easy to do for basically everybody. Draw a line around the number or letter of this sentence. I'm assuming the one, right? Yeah. Draw a line under the last word in this line, which would be line.

Cross out the longest word in this line, which would be longest. Draw a line around the shortest word in this line. I'm assuming that would be A. Cross out the longest word in this line, which would be longest. Draw a line around the shortest word in this line. I'm assuming that would be A. These seem kind of fun. Yeah, I know, right? The issue was sometimes, at least according to what people were saying online, I don't know if this was true or not, there was no

official answer key. It was based on whatever the person grading it felt like. I can already see Kamala Harris not passing. I know. Look at number five. Circle the first, first letter of the alphabet in this line. So that's the A in alphabet, right?

Yeah, it's the A in alphabet. The first, first letter of the alphabet in this line. In the space below, draw three circles, one inside engulfed by the other. Okay. Above the letter X, make a small cross this is really funny draw a line through the letter below that comes earliest in the alphabet this reminds me of like trump taking that cognitive test i gotta be honest like um draw a giraffe i drew a giraffe it was a beautiful giraffe but they they everyone says that uh it's

like a really really easy easy, simple thing. But I will say, and I've got a good memory. They do a thing early in the test where they'll be like, giraffe, airplane, car, pencil. Repeat those after me. You do. And then 20 minutes later, they go, what were the four words I said at the beginning of this test? And you're like, oh, wow. Giraffe, airplane, pencil.

What did I say? And you have to get four out of four? Or can you do like, because I know. Wellaffe, airplane, pencil. What did I say? And you have to get four out of four? Or can you do, like, because I know. Well, you don't fail if you miss one. But it's like, that's actually like, wow. If you are told, remember these words, don't forget, you will. But they don't do that. They say the words, and then later on say, okay, now what were those words again?

And if you didn't know, you needed to know them, you might just be like, I don't care about that. I'm really bad with that anytime there's a movie and like there's someone on a phone call and they're rattling off important information i'm always thinking if that were me i would be so dead because i would not remember i would not have been paying attention i would have forgotten immediately like this should be an email yeah basically like write this down send a text you know it's it's wild to me that there's a consistent effort from democrats to make it easier and easier and easier to vote because like it it shouldn't be easy to vote. Well, I saw there's a tick tock that's going around where there's this leftist saying he he believes that even felons who are currently in prison.

So like no one reformed, but currently serving in prison, you should be able to vote. And the reason why he said that is because having it be the case where you cannot vote if you're in prison disproportionately affects people of color. And therefore, that's unjust. It's racist. And it's like, but that's the mentality that they have. It's the outcome that matters. And anything that leads to an unequal outcome is not good. So therefore, equality of outcomes at all costs, even if it means you have people who are currently in prison being able to decide things

that might affect penalties for criminals. There was a similar lawsuit in North Carolina because they were basically challenging the rules regarding felons getting their voting rights restored. Different states have slightly different policies, but for the most part, you have to be out of jail.

And then for some states, you have to complete your probation. Sometimes you have to pay off the fines or whatever. and two of the organizations that sort of work on this with uh formerly incarcerated people were like you're making spend too much money doing this like people don't get it and don't know about it and so therefore you should just get rid of it and i was like i don't think that's i love question number 20 on the literacy test. Spell backwards, forwards. Why just spell the word? I love it.

That's just backwards. Was it? Backwards. You literally just spelled the word backwards. Yeah. Because forwards is unnecessary in that sentence. I definitely want to see Kamala take this. People were tripped up by the comma. So spell backwards, forwards.

Some people were like, oh, you're actually supposed to spell forwards backwards. But if you look at where the comma placement is, that doesn't make sense. Right? If you were to like switch out the words that they're asking you to spell. If it was supposed to be that you'd spell the word forwards, but in reverse, there would be no comma at all. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. But nowadays

we'd probably put quotations around what you're supposed to for clarity. So I agree it's not the clearest, but it is still correct. Question 15. They have quotations around the word they want you to spell. In the space below, write the word noise backwards and place a dot over what would be its second letter should it have been written forward.

Amazing. Look, maybe we should have more people taking these into all kinds of circumstances. Like maybe McDonald's should bring this back. Maybe people should have to do stuff like that so we know that our education system is working because i don't really think it is look at look at 21 print the word vote upside down but in the correct order that's hilarious it's basically i mean i i don't have a problem with tests like this even if we say okay this is too ambiguous let's make it less ambiguous fine and i don't think the goal should

be to trick people but if it's to ascertain you know are you literate do you have at least a certain level of like comprehension of what's going on i don't think that's a bad thing yeah well let's let's jump to this uh we have actually some big news that we've been uh made waiting to get to this is from the post-millennial texas governor greg abbott pardons daniel perry after conviction for shooting armed agitator during blm riots i want to clarify many things one greg abbott did the right thing the circumstances around this uh first it i think it is said when anyone dies i i think it is sad when conflicts arise these circumstances but understand daniel perry was in his car he was armed you're allowed to be they have stand your ground laws when a mob of far leftists were making their way towards his car

one of the individuals was armed with an ak-47 i believe it was an ak and he headed it low ready and in a semi-raised position as he approached the vehicle of this man in the street with a with a large group known to have been riding at the time with news reports all across the country of people who had been shot and some who had been killed. It is unfortunate this man died. I hear he was more like a libertarian guy and he was, you know, there were a lot of people who were marching with Black Lives Matter who weren't necessarily leftists or whatever. So it's sad. But the idea that you would put Daniel Perry in prison for fearing for his life because a guy with a rifle at low ready

was approaching his car with a mob of people who had been rioting across the country. It's insane. So shout out to Greg Abbott for this pardon. It was the right move. I can't believe he got convicted in the first place. Austin.

Yeah. Austin. George Soros prosecutor. And how many people were telling us, you got to go to Austin, man. You got to go. That's where everyone's moving. They're leaving California. They're going to Austin. I was like, I'm not going to Austin. Are you nuts? Okay. I'm sorry. Austin is a terrible place. I'm sorry. I was just there. I was talking about this in the car. My daughter and I were eating breakfast at a patio with the hotel that we're at. Three different homeless people within the span of our meal come to yell at us. It's not a nice place. Apparently, Savannah and I were saying it's better than it used to be. It's been cleaned up, which is just even more.

Like if this is clean, I don't like it at all. It's terrible. Like if you're in Austin, you don't have to live like that. There are places where there aren't just crazy, drugged out homeless people everywhere uh don't come to nashville though we're filled there are other places for you to go but it's just i've always loved dallas i mean i it's where i live for a little while and i think it's great the thing is texas does have this sort of island in the middle that is very different but also calls the shots in a lot of ways i mean especially when it comes i remember with a lot of the people who would come to claim asylum or file

for immigration stuff they would file specifically in the Austin district. So they would get a more sympathetic judge no matter where they actually were. I mean, it's sort of Texas's big vulnerability if they want to stay conservative. Right. And I mean, I grew up in Asia. I've lived in third world countries, traveled to a lot of them. There are many third world countries I would rather be than Austin, Texas. Like, I'm sorry, but it's just, it frustrates me how people, you know, in some of these cities, they almost have Stockholm Syndrome. They try to justify,

oh, it's like that everywhere. It's normal. It's not that bad. It's not normal. It's not like that everywhere. It is that bad. Look at what happens when a communist dictator goes to San Francisco. Right, you can clean it up over there. They would never dare let Xi Jinping see what San Francisco actually is, because what San Francisco. Right, you can clean it up over there. They would never dare let Xi Jinping see what San Francisco actually is,

because what San Francisco actually is, because we were just there, is a place that not only did our car get robbed within 30 minutes of being there, but also, we went and got, in San Francisco, like an In-N-Out, and I'm not trying to be too grotesque here, but you get In-N-Out Burger,

you walk outside, and there is a man just taking crap in the middle of the street oh yeah and and you want to talk about losing your appetite you're just like i can't eat this how do you live like this how do people live like this benny understand you know xi jinping's coming to san francisco if you were about to meet your childhood hero wouldn't you want to clean up your house you know so pelosi's like oh it oh, oh, he's coming in. There's a press conference where Gavin Newsom said that exact same thing. He says, we're cleaning up for our guests. This is an exact line that Gavin Newsom used.

I'll take it one step further. I think Gavin Newsom is like my hero, the communist dictator is about to arrive. Clean up. Let's make it look good. We can clean up for our communist guests, but we will not clean up for our citizens. We don't care about them. Which is at its basis immoral because those are the people that are paying the taxes. Those are the people, you know, every, I think every urban area or every city at all has

to make a choice. You must make a choice. Your choice is who do your parks belong to? Do your parks belong to mothers and children who can play in them safely and without needles and without piss-smelling bums to creep on you and steal from you? Because there's only one choice. The parks either belong to the bums and the criminals and the degenerates or they belong to the children. And you should live in places. If you're looking for a new city, this is what my wife and I just did, actually.

If you're looking for a new city, a couple of years ago, when we moved from DC to Tampa, because all the parks in DC, we just had our first child, all the parks in DC had been turned over to criminals and drug users. And they were really nice, beautiful parks. And suddenly everywhere was a homeless person sleeping and or living on the park.

And we're like, the city has made a choice to prioritize the criminals instead of the families and instead of the producers in society. And then they act like they don't understand why the crime rate goes up. That's exactly right. It's crazy because around 10 years ago, it's almost like in these big cities, D.C., Austin, San Francisco, it's like a decision was made that actually the worst thing anyone could do is be mean to a homeless person and tell them to take a hike. That is just unthinkable. Therefore, feces in the streets,

needles on the streets, overdosing everywhere because compassion. We can't be mean to the differently housed. Right. Have you guys ever seen that video from when they were going to ban drinking and driving for the first time?

And you've got people being interviewed and they're like, they're like, are you nuts? So now I can't enjoy a beer after work while I'm driving home? He says America. So I see this video.

And as a younger person growing up decades after that law passed, I'm just like, wow, that's how it used to be, huh? I imagine, Benny, your kids, you're going to be talking to them when they're like 18 or 20. And you're like, here's a photo of a park. And they go, a park? And you're like, we used to have these places where in cities it was green and there were trees and you could play Frisbee.

And they're like, you mean like where all the homeless people are taking craps in the camps? And you're like, yeah, it used to be like a place for families. They go, weird. Yeah, you go to, so in Tampa,

like if you're homeless, don't move to Tampa. I'm on my drive to work in the morning. I'm on my drive to the studio in the morning. You'll see the occasional bum. It's Florida. It's nice climate. It's nice weather. to the studio in the morning. You'll see the occasional bum. It's Florida. It's a nice climate. It's nice weather.

It's sunny a lot. And you'll see the occasional bum. Better take a photo because in five minutes, they'll be gone. And cops will come and get them. Clean them up. Be like, the park isn't for you. This bench isn't for you to piss on and crap on. It's for families.

It's for children. It's for taxpayers. It's for citizens who are abiding by the rules here. Did you see the viral video of there's a homeless man sleeping in the doorway of a restaurant and they come in, they splash water on him. And it was this debate on X. Were they right or were they wrong? And it's an interesting debate.

This guy is effectively trespassing. The police won't do anything about it. I don't think a splash of water is the apocalypse for somebody, but it is a serious challenge. And you're going to get arrested. You got a homeless guy sleeping and blocking your door and he won't move and the cops won't come. So you're like, I will splash him with water. Don't be surprised when the cops jump and like, sir, you assaulted somebody. That's better. You're under arrest. Yeah. Yeah. And it's hard because obviously you want to weigh compassion. And I think, yes, it's, it's the hardest

thing in the world. I would, or one of them, I would imagine to have nowhere to go, like nowhere to sleep. You're, you have all your belongings with you. I'm not denying it, but at the same time, like it's not popular say now, but it's like, it's also not great to be around homeless people. Like, let's be real there. There are externalities with the homeless issue that extend beyond the homeless people themselves. You don't want to be the person who has a homeless person sleeping on their front step or in front of their business. You don't want to be the person who gets mugged or gets assaulted like Anna Kasparian did by these homeless people, right? It's not just the homeless people and their comfort. It's everyone else's

comfort too. And I feel like we've forgotten about's not it's not perceived as tolerant to say like our lives our lifestyle matters too i do love the um it's unhoused now yeah it's like what who cares well home is where the heart is so you know they're fine but i don't i don't care if they they they made up a word for it i don't care if they they call them carless. It's because it's passive. Unhoused is passive. That means it makes it seem like it's almost like our fault that we haven't housed them. Someone needs to house them. It's just a thing that happened to them. Homelessness, it implies ownership of the house. Well, the argument the left made was that a home, you were saying a home was one of the hardest. They initially argued that people's homes come in all different shapes and sizes

and homeless people who live in tents under bridges have homes with family and friends. So it's not right. What they don't have is a house, which is a specific thing. So they're unhoused people. And I'm like, yep, they're homeless. It's a word to describe a thing.

Thank you and have a nice day. Yeah, it takes you five minutes to explain it. But it's the, what's it called? The treadmill of different terms because homeless was actually the nice PC thing to call them instead of a hobo, right? Or a bum. I got a question there.

Hobo meant homeward bound. And so- Oh, it's like the difference between vagrant too. There's the, yeah, these are all different. So there's vagabond, vagrants, bums, hobo. Hobos were people who were leaving a region and traveling home after a job had ended. And so you'd see them sitting around. They're dirty.

They're carrying their belongings. But they were leaving. Hobo, homeward bound. Bums were people who were not working, homeless. Then there's like vagrants. These were criminals who were committing crimes. And then vagabonds were travelers who milled about and just did random things. You'd see them one day, you didn't see them the next. So there you go. Now you know about your homeless. And this may

be of interest to many of you, surprising information. There is a language, an alphabet of symbols used by vagrants and vagabonds, providing them with information about where they are and what to expect. So for people who travel the country, vagabonds, basically rail hoppers, you'll, you will be like walking in an area that's like in the middle of nowhere. And you'll see a sign where someone draws a symbol and these people know what the symbols represent, but nobody else. And it'll, it'll mean things like there are hunters here and it's private property and you're in trouble. They'll put signs near train tracks where it'll be like, we've never, it'll be like a circle with like devil horns and you know, like a smile. And that

means train conductors here typically don't care if you hop their trains, things like that. There's, there's some symbols where it's like the's like the next house you see on your path typically gives people food. Crazy. So this proves something that I think is really important because if you see the corollary between shutting down all of the mental asylums and the prison population and the homeless population, there is a perfect inversion where in the 1970s, our boomer parents went and saw One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and started crying tears for Jack Nicholson in that fake movie and sided with Jack Nicholson instead of Nurse Ratched, who's the hero of the movie, much like Corn Pops, the hero of the story with Joe Biden. Corn Pops was just trying to save the kids from, you know, feeling the hairy legs. And they sided with that.

And then there was this big movement. This is how stupid people are. There's a big movement to shut down the asylums and without asking a question why were the asylums there in the first place because you have to deal with a unhealthy and uncomfortable reality that some people don't want to be housed some people don't want to live in society some people have deep abiding psychological issues that belong in straitjackets. Some people have demonic possession. And these people who are either possessed by demons or possessed by something that messed up their brain, they will not subscribe to society. And so eventually, if pushed enough and allowed to go far enough, they will take a syringe and they will stab your kid as you're walking down the street. And then it'll be your fault for living amongst an area that still that allows that to fester

without dealing instead of dealing with the realities like the state of Florida does dealing with the realities that these people have decided to not be part of society. We were talking about this on Tales from the Inverted World Sunday, the new show with Shane Cashman. If you like ghost stories, subscribe on YouTube. But there was a story I read on Reddit where a woman said that her sister had always been severely mentally impaired her whole life in a wheelchair, drooling, unable to move.

And then she said a couple times in her life when she was alone with her sister, her sister abruptly became fully lucid, went, help me, please. I'm trapped in here. I'm trapped. And I'm like, dude, I think people can be possessed. I think like a demon has held that woman down.

But I worked in the homeless nonprofit sector. I worked for homeless shelters. And you want to know a secret about these places? They're empty. They're typically empty. You know why? Homeless people don't want to know a secret about these places? They're empty. They're typically empty. You know why? Homeless people don't want to be in them. So one of the issues I had with one of these shelters was they were fundraising off the notion that they were struggling and at capacity and needed your donations. And I believe everything they told us was true. And then one day, I was checking

out one of the shelters and it was dead empty. And I was like, oh, we're empty now. And they were like, we're always empty. What do you mean? And I was like, what do you mean we're always empty? I was like, they're doing marketing based on the fact that we're full. And they were like, oh, come on. Like, you know, homeless people don't want to be here. And I was like, are you kidding me? I'm not going to go lie to people. And they were like, look, what we do with the money is we pull up with vans. We give them blankets and water and we tell them where to find us. All we can do is offer the space. They won't take it. You know why they won't take it? Because once you go in that shelter, the shelter's in charge. That's it. Yeah. And these people, guess what? You know what

I was told by the people who worked in this? There's one big reason why they don't want to come to the shelter. Can you take a guess what that is? Drugs. Drugs. They want to do drugs and they can't when they're in the shelter. They can when they're under a bridge. That's how California can spend like

$24 billion or whatever on homelessness and then, you know, no one knows where it went. Isn't the song Under the Bridge literally about doing drugs and that's where they do them? Well, in the needle programs in California, San Francisco specifically, you know, they'll say it as like, well, this way we're not spreading disease. And also we know where this population is and we can offer them services. We can, you know, I was listening to this interview where they're like in a camp recording

this like poor worker who has to be like, here's your needle. Do you want to try going to rehab? And the guy's like, no. They're enabling it. And I want to clarify real quick. Someone said, it's empty in the day, full at night, dummy. I worked at a shelter, and we would go there at night. They said they don't stay.

At night, that's when no one wants to be there. During the day, they might show up and say, can I have some free stuff? At night, it's when no one wants to be there during the day they might show up and say can i have some free stuff at night when they're like i'm getting out of here dude it was it was it was infuriating learning that people like the what bothers me the most is the assumption that homeless people are people who have fallen on hard times and with with a little bit of help we'll get right back to it. What, maybe half a percent, 1% of homeless people are, I met a guy once, Chicago.

Older black guy, I asked him why he was homeless. I was like, do you mind? I had pizza left over and I said, hey man, you want some pizza? And he's like, yeah, thanks brother, man. And then I asked him, if you don't mind, like, how did you get homeless? This guy was lucid, reasonable.

And he said that he worked at the post office for a really long time. He got old, his friends and family, everybody had passed on. He's mostly by himself. He's lost touch with everybody. He had a sister. He doesn't know where she is. And then when he got laid off from his job, he has nowhere to go. He starts getting unemployment. Unemployment runs out. Then he can't pay rent. Then his rent lapses. Then they kick him out and he couldn't find another job. He's like, look, man, it's like I worked at the post office for like 16 years. I can tell you how to work the post office. I can't work anywhere else. I try to get a job, but they don't want to hire me.

And eventually I just find myself living outside. Extremely rare. But that's what they tell you in the movies. The other homeless people I'd bump into would be the guy with a pocket knife holding a bottle of wine that he stole from some liquor store and he's stabbing the cork with it going i was a bad man and then he'd look at you and go i'm not kidding that actually happened and you're like stay away from that guy stay away he's not lucid so the question is what do we do what do we do about the homeless population because obviously we've looked at places like Portland and, you know, Vancouver, they've tried decriminalizing

everything. You know, it's, it's actually the criminalization of these behaviors. That's what's what's bad for homeless people. It hasn't worked. It hasn't stopped it. It's gotten much worse. We see people overdosing on the street. So what do we do? I mean, Anna Kasparian, she was catching flack for suggesting that actually, if someone is mentally incompetent or they are refusing treatment, you make them go. I mean, what are your thoughts? Is that like violating individual liberty to not allow someone to be a crazy homeless crack addict? You're not allowed to harm other people. Right.

So how far do we extend that externality of harm? Yeah. So we went to Kensington in Philadelphia. And if there's anybody watching from the Philadelphia area or aware, this is an entire zombie city and it's right in the shadow of downtown Philadelphia. And you can just find people that are literals on walking around just like just like World War Z. And they're all drug users. They all sleep either in their cars or on the street, typically just right on the sidewalk. And there's clinics.

There's clinics everywhere. And the city pays to go give these people drugs. They pay to give them drugs, and then they pay to give them help. And you can't perpetuate that cycle. Do you perpetuate that cycle? Then not only are you going to create more zombies, right? Think about it as a zombie war. You're going to create more zombies. But also, you're going to tell people this is okay. And you need to live inside of an area,

choose to live inside of an area where people say, that's not okay. The park is for my children. The park is not for you. I am the tax paying citizen. That's the park that I paid for. It's not for you. Did you see a California spending, was it 5 million and giving alcohol to homeless alcoholics? Yeah. That's right. Yeah. So you're prepared, see California spending, was it 5 million and giving alcohol to homeless alcoholics? Yeah. That's right. Yeah. So you perpetuate the cycle instead of breaking it. And this is a breakdown in morality. Listen, man, if you read the gospels, I'm a Christian. If you read the gospels and you just read the four gospels of Christ, every chapter, there's a demon that's being exercised. Every chapter, there's somebody who's twisted and bent up and like living like a homeless person, sometimes in the hills, sometimes in the graveyards and it's demonic activity. I'm not saying that's that accounts for all of it, but I'm saying that's

one thing that we never taught. It's never spoken about in our secular age. Every other generation, every other group, every other civilization from, from back through recorded history has thought that there is a spiritual element to all of this and that there's spiritual health as well as physical health. But for some reason, we drop the atom bomb and then in our secular world, the world goes completely secular and then we never speak about spirituality again. And there's also a spiritual component to all of this and i believe i believe that demonic possession and and spiritual health has a lot to do has a lot to do with it so i've got this story that i literally just pulled up because we're gonna we're gonna go with this salon you know they're they're a they're a lefty publication they wrote in october why are exorcisms on the rise i don don't I look, I don't know. I don't there's a lot of stuff I don't know.

I don't know about being dead or the other side of the veil or what, whatever. But I see people and I can't explain their actions through logic. There are evil people out there that you're just wondering what is this and and i'm sure that your you know atheists could say something like oh it's some people have chemical imbalances that make them not function properly and i'm like but there are people who see or seemingly normal that like one day will turn evil i've experienced experienced this. People that I knew that were good, normal, compassionate people, and then one day seemingly became evil. And I'm like, possession, demonic possession, whatever that means. And I think the, you know, for, for a lot of people who are atheists, cause I'm not even saying people who are not Christian, but there

are a lot of people who are atheists would just try to explain it as like, oh, they had a chemical imbalance or something. And I'm like saying someone is possessed does not literally mean you believe in the Bible and you're a Christian. It's just saying that we don't understand it. Perhaps there are forces beyond our comprehension that are influencing and manipulating people. I like to think so. Yeah. Well, OK, to bring this all full circle, we started talking about the Trump trial to begin this live. Stormy Daniels up on the Trump trial saying, ah, demons possessed my husband and he was he was completely possessed. This is what she's saying. She literally said that. She said that. She said that. And she says that now she speaks with demons and she talks

with the spiritual realm. You can see her newest tattoos. She has a bath on that and an iconography of the demon world up and down her arm and pentagrams. And, you know, you have to ask yourself in this trial, like, are you going to— Wait, wait, wait. For real? Like, in the trial, she testified recently that her husband is possessed or was possessed? We can easily bring it up. I'm trying to Google it. What do I search for?

Yeah, I'm going to easily bring it up. ALX has got you. We covered this on the show. Oh, yeah, yeah. Paranormal poss possum i don't know what is this like tell me what tell me what to pull this is amazing so she said that that the possum part was she said it was our like house was haunted or whatever and it ended up being a possum living under it but there is something separate where she said that her her ex-boyfriend

was possessed uh spirits inhabited my boyfriend type in uh talking to spirits yeah daily mail stormy daniels so you know what is it talking to spirits yeah she had town hall has something on it too and then there's a fox news article from 2023 that says Stormy Daniels tried to summon spirits with magic cards during interview. My eyes were filled with tears. So this is a pattern for her. Yes. She's been on this one for a minute.

Yes. It's wild. Well, and I remember when Target, well, Tim's trying to find this. I remember when the Target. Yeah, I want to find Stormy Daniels' ex-boyfriend possessed. Is that what it is? Let me try and get the exact quote. It's that...

Because I see there's a YouTube video. There's a clip. Here we go. I think we got post-millennial. Here we go. I got viewers all the time, Chris and Andrea. I sat through two E. Jean Carroll trials and two cross-examinations of E. Jean Carroll,

and I have to tell you, I agree with Sue wholeheartedly. This was very much what I'd call a nuts and sluts defense. There was a portion of the cross-examination where susan necklace was focused on the fact that stormy daniels now claims that she is a medium and that she communicates with dead people and has participated in a tv store tv series about the paranormal where she explores things including the fact that at one point an ex-boyfriend of hers was inhabited by spirits she was mocking stormy daniels she wants the jury to think stormy daniels is a liar and she is crazy and she also wants the jury to judge her for her occupation

and stormy daniels gave no ground on that as sue just said she might be an exotic dancer an adult film actor but she was very clear when Susan Necklace used the phrase selling yourself to describe what Stormy Daniels was doing on a tour where she was making appearances at clubs. Stormy Daniels set her straight. I was not selling myself. I was dancing. The implication always was I am not a sex worker and I don't have a sign around my neck that says consent given freely to everyone at any time. Okay. So they get it out of their self.

Nuts and sluts. Yeah. My boyfriend was inhabited by spirits is a way to say demonic possession. Yeah. All right. And that's the dark arts. You actually welcome that kind of stuff into your life. And now here she is lying.

Bill Maher proving she's lying. I mean was wild yeah that clip was crazy liars and this was one of the things they talked about afterwards was that she was always a really risky person to pull for the witness stand because you know they're saying oh well they're trying to make her look crazy the jury but what if the jury is like you summoned a demon like the jury looks at this is like this is a dark person and i don't trust her there's only only one huge winner in all of this, which is Donald Trump, who's been calling this a witch hunt for a very long time. And now he found a witch. Emphasis on witch.

Yeah, yeah. He's right about her. There's a witch in Georgia, too. Yeah. You know, what's really funny is that in the podcasting world, especially in the past several years with Joe Rogan, the subject of DMT is massively popular. It's it pops up here and then. But it was like,

there was this period where everybody wanted to know, because the idea was that people who have taken DMT have broken through the veil as they call it and seen something. And, um, one of the things people talk about is you see demons and that the people who don't understand what they're seeing think they're just talking to the machine elves, the entities. But many people say that these are demons offering deals and they're trying to manipulate you into doing things that they want you to do. So when you see things like this and you're like, what happened to Stormy Daniels that she decided to be evil? Because her story is not true. Bill Maher proved she was lying.

So why go on the stand and be evil? Because I'll tell you what I find. I find with many people on the right, they are unwilling to lie to win. Not all of them. There are a lot of evil people on the right. Don't get me wrong. But it's a tendency.

On the left, you have Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels, unquestionable. You have the prosecutors in the case. You've got Bragg. You've got the documents case against Trump. You've got everyone on MSNBC. All they do all day like look at jen seki's book where she's like joe biden didn't look at his watch yeah that that was insane right right right it's like the dignified transfer yeah we we watched him do it and then she gets caught and goes oops

she's saying don't trust the misinformation distributors. Trust me. And she's literally lying. She's evil. What happened to so many people where they literally said, scruples be damned. I will loot, pillage and burn and take whatever I want and do any amoral thing. It's insane to me. Well, they believe the ends justify the means. And if they and they have actually convinced themselves that Trump is so evil, so terrible, then some little white lies in order to make sure he doesn't come into power again.

Of course, they're justified. But that's basically the entire story of leftists throughout history is that the ends justify the means. No matter how many people have to starve, have to kill, you have to kill, you have to rob them of their property. As long as it leads to the utopia or the outcome they want, it's all justified. Demons got it. Yeah, basically. I mean, how many times do we hear, like, Trump must be stopped? That phrase, must be stopped, is a commitment to stopping him at any cost.

And there's no moral cost. I do think that with conservatives, especially religious conservatives, the concept of the truth as it relates to Christianity is something that they kind of holds them to a higher standard than, you know, maybe a secular progressive who's like, but I have to get the thing that I want. And in this case, I I have to get the thing that I want. And in this case, I'm part of the hive mind and I want this person to not be elective. It allows for like guiltless lying. And even though you pay for it with your soul later, you know, it's worth it now because

there's only the here and now to someone who doesn't have anything else in their life. Yeah, they have no morals. Right. So they're throwing it out the window. Yeah. Find out. Go find out. You know, find out like all your ancestors.

Find out. Find out if there's something after the here and now. And I'm telling you what, like, you know, if you're an atheist, then, you know, we'll never know. But if I'm right, then you'll know. And if you're on the side of the demons, if you're on the side, let's take these Trump trials as just like a small microcosm. Are you on the side of the demons here?

Are you on the side of the people that are inhabited by spirits? Like that's the side you've chosen. The known, the known liars. And the Bible says that the native tongue of Satan is lying. So be very cautious about liars, people that are just lying to you about anything. Uh, so Michael Cohen is a known proven liar, went to jail for it. And then the people who are inhabited by spirits or the people who like do the dark arts, is that the side you're actually taking? And you know, what's weird is that there's a lot of Christians that would be like,

oh, Trump's bad actually. I don't like his style. He's not, he's not great. And I don't like the way that he talks. But okay, you're gonna have to explain to me like how you're in league with Stormy Daniels and Michael Cohen then. Like how you can justify that.

And Stormy Daniels talks worse. So I was – when we were on – I was on with Shane on the Inverted World show, Inverted World Live on YouTube. Subscribe. And it was half in jest but sort of I said I can prove mathematically and scientifically that the woke left is evil. And I went into this long rant about life in the universe and stuff, but the simple version is when you're looking at the planets, the stars, when you look at the basic forms of life, the most rudimentary self-replicating proteins, single-celled organisms, multicellular organisms, what life does is organizes free energy into complex systems.

It continues to make more of itself. It takes this chaos and creates order from it. And that's life. Life does this. It is the one thing we can see life doing. So when you look at the left and massive campaigns of destroying life, that is the anti-life. That is the antithesis of what life does. It is a function against our very being. So you can argue whether it's figuratively or literally not evil. My point is simply, if the function of life and we here as humans is creating order from chaos, the people who attempt to sow chaos and destroy order would be the antithesis of our mission. That would be our evil.

Evil cannot create. It can only destroy. That's right. The nature of Satan is to steal, kill and destroy. So vis-a-vis the Bible, the nature. So all you have to do is take a step back and say, is this stealing, killing or destroying? I got to tell you, what's the best thing about Trump term one? No new wars, not even hard, not even difficult, no new wars. And trying to end them. Yes. And trying. Yes, that's exactly right. And, you know, he got a lot of flack for walking into North Korea. I think that's, I would argue that that's probably peak Trump.

Yep. Walking into a nation that we are literally still at war with. There has been no peace treaty. They could fire a shot. And doing that and bringing that peace and like, I don't know, giving him a Dennis Rodman basketball and, you know, whatever he did with Kim Jong-un. Let me, let me, let me 10 times that Donald Trump crossed the DMZ into enemy territory with no security detail in a sign of good faith and peace for North Korea. And they attacked him for it. They insulted him for it. That's exactly right.

It's one of the bravest things I've ever seen a president do that's exactly right enemy enemy territory with no security detail and which side are you on man and you know which side are you on are you on the side that according to multiple reports decided to continue the ukraine war even when there was a peace treaty sitting on the table that zelensky was about to sign that he and putin had decided the framework of a peace treaty and they sent in boris johnson nuked it to come in and to tear it up to rip it up and say no you are going to shove all of the young people in your country into a meat grinder to die uh for what exactly um nobody can nobody can still like a still like alliterate that. Victory at all costs.

That is evil. Steel, kill, destroy. Steel, kill, destroy. There's no more young people left in Ukraine. There are all those videos of where they're like rounding up older men who are literally fighting them. Women. That's right. They're sending women to fight. So what's going to happen, man? I mean, how many kids are going to grow up without dads? How many homes have been destroyed? How many families have been destroyed? This is evil.

Listen, take a step back. Forget the political parties. And it's a good comeuppance for somebody like me who sort of grew up starry-eyed as a teenager in the early aughts watching 9-11, right, in high school. Perhaps you watched 9-11 live. Did you watch it live? Where did you watch 9-11? I watched it in my freshman class in high school perhaps you watched 9-11 um live did you watch it live where did you watch 9-11 i watched it in my freshman class in high school you know on one of those wheeling tvs and that they have in public schools you know they wheel in the tv plug it in and i like to my great shame uh was supportive of iraq and afghanistan at that time wow, okay, good. Let's go fight the terrorists.

And that's the one thing with age. And you step back and you have kids, especially having children and especially becoming a father. And you think, not on my life would I allow you to draft my child and send them off to some desert to die alone. Like not on my life would I allow. I mean, I would leave before I'd let you do that. Like I would fight you at my doorstep before I'd allow you to use my children as cannon fodder. And I would dig my heels into this dirt and I would not – I wouldn't allow it. And then you get – the wiser you get, the more you realize that actually there's no really such thing as like angels and demons on the side of war. It's really just two sides of evil fighting each other for different degrees of evil.

And the more you just become viscerally anti-war. And that's what's happened to me as I've gotten older and wiser. As I've just said, no, there's actually very, very little justification ever for the wholesale slaughter of people or in war. But the propagandists, they really come out to defend wars like you have the military industrial complex yeah in line with the corporate press childless lindsey graham literally the other day he went on he was like cheney childless right making the case for like giving nukes and like starting to use like nukes like casually on cable news oh he's he's been on cable news declaring a holy war against Iran for sure. But it doesn't matter to him.

And it frustrates me because the people like Lindsey Graham, the Liz Cheney's of the world, the warmongers, the neocons, I mean, they're very happy to call you unpatriotic for opposing their war for whatever reasons, even though they're the ones who are offering up Americans to die. I'm the biggest patriot. We're having more Americans. Unlike Liz Cheney and Lindsey Graham, I'm making more Americans.

Liz Cheney has five kids. That's what's worse, though. She's willing to send your kids. She has five kids? Yeah. I didn't actually know that. She has a bunch of kids. But the thing is, she's okay with sending your kids.

It's not her kids. That's the part of it. That's what I find the worst. They will send middle American children. They'll send people who are in poverty, who enlist in the military to make their lives better. You can be sacrificed, but not her children. Her children will never be in that position. That's right.

Let me tell you someone who will never be drafted is Liz Cheney's children. I actually didn't know that Liz Cheney had five children. I mean, she doesn't give off maternal energy, so I couldn't say why. Isn't that the premise of Fortunate Son? Yeah. What a good song. That's a great song. That's right.

But listen, it's evil. If you view the world as steal, kill, and destroy, and then you're able to see people who are stealing, killing, and destroying, and you're just able to basically say that's evil, I'm not saying you have to be a Christian. I'm just saying that that's a nice framework for what Christians view the world in, and you should judge people by that. That's a nice little measure to judge people. Are you stealing, killing and destroying? Well, you're probably on the side of the baddies, as they would say. And I thought it was interesting. We recently had like on social media that whole debate over the atomic bombs in Japan. And I think there's, you know, there's reasons why it made sense. It was the way to minimize casualties. Other people say, no, they were ready to give up but what i really what i found curious to see is like the almost jingoistic support some people have like no it was good like they got what they like when you keep in mind that

the targets were mainly you know civilians i it's you know we we look back on world war ii what the nazis did and we wonder how could they dehumanize people so terribly but we're still doing it today we're still doing still doing it all the all the time it just you know we we've coded people into it's okay if we root for them to cheer and die or cheer for them to die versus it's not okay but it's still immoral either way if they're not combatants themselves it really is fascinating we have in the other room almost every single life magazine ever the we have the first Life magazine. So it was originally some other magazine, got bought, rebranded. And reading about World War II

during World War II is so different than reading about World War II today. How so? So from what I've read, I've only read a little bit from these magazines. There's very little politics. There's very little, it's Germany invaded, they're there's very little uh it's it's germany invaded

they're they're imperialist they're they're stealing land we're defending europe it's it's very simple here's a photo of the battlefield things like that the bombing of japan that magazine was not i posted a bunch of photos we built the bomb we did it the guy who just massacred all the people in these cities smoking smoking a cigarette on the cover, like no big deal. Like I'm here, baby. We did this. The it starts getting much more political into race, ethnicity, Holocaust stuff later on. Yeah. And I think it's fair. I was like, we didn't know what was going on at the time.

So when you're I think one of the most fascinating things I read was in what I looked at the magazine right before D-Day. And it's like pictures of tanks, tons of tanks in the UK, armaments, troops. And it's like the U.S. has been sending armaments and troops to the U.K. to short their defenses amid Germany's conquest or whatever. Yeah, that's not what we were doing. We were getting ready for a ground invasion into Europe. But what the press was reporting is that we were just trying. There was they didn't tell the American people. They just said, oh, yeah, well, we're defending Britain because we don't want them to get invaded.

They're an ally. Now, we were planning to get a bunch of boats and go storm the beaches. Crazy, crazy to read what people thought was going on versus what we know now. It's night and day. It's the American tradition, right? That's right. The press guards were actually doing from the people politicizing war. I think that's very interesting that there was no politics involved. Politicizing war is so cruel to the people that are actually fighting the wars.

Let's go to Super Chats. If you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button? One like equals one FJB. Apparently that does better in getting likes to the show. And also head over to TimCast.com because we're going to have that members-only call-in show coming up at 10 p.m. And it's going to be a lot of fun, especially with the cacophony of unintelligible political commentary we have going on so far. We're looking forward to hearing from you.

Clint Torres takes first place as he normally does. Howdy, people, says he. Kyle says Vivek or Tulsi for VP. The VP debates would be legendary against Harris if either is picked. IMO Tulsi for VP and Vivek for chief of staff. What do you guys think? I prefer Vivek to Tulsi.

I like both of them, but I love how Vivek wants to absolutely gut the bureaucratic class. Very excited by that prospect. I don't think he will be the VP pick, but I'd be happy if he was. The rumor that's been going around

for a little while that I've mentioned several times is that Trump already picked Rubio. I don't know if that's true or not. I've not heard that. I stress this because I don't- It'd be a very safe area to pick. Can I explain why people say that?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Why the people that are on the inside of Florida politics tell me this and who know DeSantis, Rubio, who fund all these guys who are billionaires and this is what they've told me. And I don't say this because I'm super glad about it. I don't know Marco Rubio.

He's never been on my show. I don't have a cell phone number. I'm not simping for anybody. I'm just saying. You don't got Rubio's number? I'm just saying this is what it is. Is that Rubio ticks a number of boxes that are really good for Donald Trump.

He's fluent in Spanish. He'll be able to go on Univision. There's going to be like a Univision debate. I mean, could you imagine what Kamala Harris is going to do? She can't even speak freaking English, much less Spanish, right? But beyond that, Rubio has proven that he can actually swing votes, right? Every single time he's run for Senate, the preponderance of Hispanic voters in Florida vote for him. But also he's chair of the Intelligence Committee. And here's the tell. The meeting with DeSantis. Donald Trump goes and meets with DeSantis. Why is that the tell?

Because DeSantis gets to pick who steps into that Senate seat. And DeSantis and Trump hate each other. And this was an olive branch that Donald Trump was giving to DeSantis to say, hey, let's let's negotiate the seat together. Maybe you put in a donor and then you run for the seat. Right. Your term limited out as governor. I don't know exactly the details of how that conversation went, but that's that's the tell. That was the horse trade. Again, Trump, the horse trader. That was the horse trade. And then DeSantis gets his Senate seat and then he goes and fund raises for Trump. And that's that's what you're seeing on the back. The other component is that the rumor going around is that Rubio is basically selling these Bush era donors on Trump. Yeah. And there's only one reason for that. The rumor, of course, is that Rubio is saying, forget Trump, back me. I'll be the VP. And bringing this support money in is effectively uniting the party behind Donald Trump because of

Rubio. I believe that if it is true, and I don't know that's true. It's just a rumor going around. Apparently, you've heard similar things. Trump will win in November and not because Rubio is a good candidate who speaks Spanish and go on Univision, but because Trump cut a deal with the establishment to unify and they're going to get something from it. So they back off. Trump wins. I mean, yes, again, Trump's a dealmaker. And this is a deal that I think gets him the hundred electoral vote victory. So you're going to make a bet? Like, you know, what, what, what, what, uh, election betting odds are like predicted or something. I, as soon as somebody said to me, like the rumor, okay. And I want to stress, I have not talked to anyone at the Trump administration. This is not coming from

anyone in his family or anything. It was literally like, like politicos and stuff in the beltway being like the rumor going around town is. And I'm thinking like, man, I should put a hundred bucks down on Trump to win. Like, damn. Yeah. I mean, he's already got the odds though. So you're gonna win like 30 bucks, but still.

I mean, it's gonna be a brutal VP debate. I mean, for selfish reasons, you of course want that to be Vivek because he would do so well in a VP. And Tulsi has proven that she can just gut Kamala Harris. Do you remember the DNC debate? Oh, yes. That is a career ender.

In a fair world, Kamala Harris goes away and you never hear from her again because that was such a career ender about locking up black men, using them for slave labor, putting them on murderer's row, putting them on death row, exculpatory evidence, locking up hundreds, tens of thousands of people for marijuana charges. Tulsi just went. I mean, it was it was a napalming and it was not it was the end of that should have been the end of Kamala's career. But the thing with Tulsi, I like her overall, but she is overall a leftist. She's still left on many, many politics and policies. But I mean, I guess it depends on what kind of VP we're going to be seeing from Trump if he wins after 2024. If he's just looking for a figurehead, someone to be there, not really do anything like a Joe Biden type of VP, then sure, throw in Tulsi. She's ethnic. She's a woman. But if we actually want like a Dick Cheney,

I'm going to get stuff done, VP, Vivek all the way. All right, so we got a super chat. Chase Starkey says RFK is going to be in the debates and the longer y'all keep gatekeeping and ignoring him, you lose credibility. Do you think he'll make it to the debates? Apparently he has the polls because there's so many. Some of them have crossed that threshold. What do you think? I mean, I think he killed

his own credibility when he talked about full-term abortion. Also the brain worm thing. The brain worm thing, I wouldn the brain worm thing i wouldn't hold against them it's silly it's a weird story but you know look if the guy's got ideas got ideas but the full-term abortion thing freaked me out yeah that's insane the is it too much to ask for i mean we had a big country we got like 400 million people here is it too much to ask for a guy who hasn't had like multiple aneurysms and plates in his head to ask for a guy who hasn't had multiple aneurysms and plates in his head? And

for a guy who hasn't had brain worms? Is it too much to ask to be running for president? I mean, Trump's crying. He's getting younger. They raided Mar-a-Lago to find the fountain of youth. I know they did. We'll move on. We're trying to get some more super chats. Raymond G. Stanley Jr. says, I'm 180 with high BMI.

I would wreck that tiny lady. So this is a viral video of this woman who's like a black belt taekwondo world champ. And she's got a bo staff spinning it around. It got like 12 million views because the premise was that a bunch of the first tweet was, it was from Catherine Brodsky. I don't envy the man or, you know, or bear who encounters this woman or whatever. And then a bunch of guys saying your average untrained man could easily take her. And then a bunch of more lefty individuals being like, no way, man, this woman with proper training would take any man.

The woman is five foot one, 100 pounds. I'm just like, you know, so this was the big viral debate on X, I suppose. Can a trained martial artist, black belt world champion weighing 100 pounds and coming in at 5'1 win the fight against your average untrained man? Absolutely not. There's a reason why even in the UFC, men fighting men, they have weight classes, right? Because they know if they put someone who's 6'4 against someone who's 5 foot four, that's going to be a very short, very uninteresting fight. So to say that a woman who's five one, a hundred some pounds could take on your average man, even, you know, someone who's shorter than the average man and weaker, like still no, I don't know why women feel like they need to be better than men at physical things. It's a, it's a fight we're

going to lose ladies. We shouldn't try. So I looked it up. The average male height in the United States is five, or I don't know if it's the United States, but I looked up average male height and weight, and it said 5'8", 199 pounds. That's a real bad prognosis for this country. Double the weight. That's pretty bad. No, I just mean like these are,

the average guy ain't doing too well. The average woman, I think, is like 170 pounds, and like 5'3 or 5'4. Yeah. Wow. We are a rotund nation. Yeah. Mercy.

All right. Mike Z says, a few days ago, I asked him to buy me some sushi in jest. But after seeing so many in dire straits, I wanted to give something back. Please use this to bless someone's day. Very cool. Yeah. I will say will say you know if people super chat saying like i need help we've we've gotten this for the existence of this show people have been like hey you know my dog's sick and then the past couple weeks i paid somebody's rent so

then everyone i paid two people's rent actually and so people are like me like i need help i need help and so we've done like a couple hundred bucks to some some gofundme's one guy needed dialysis but um you know we can't we can't do it every single night forever. But if people are super chatting, we'll see what we can do. Let's grab some more super chats. Z3 Music Official says, howdy, people. Been homesteading for almost four years. We're up to 37 chickens, 16 ducks, two geese, five goats.

And tomorrow my wife is getting a miniature cow for her birthday. That is absolutely amazing. And I'm glad to hear it. That is based AF. Does she know she's getting the cow or did we just ruin the surprise? Oh, you should name the cow Milk Dud. Can you imagine you came home and the cow was just like in your living room? That'd be amazing. Happy birthday!

That's brilliant. We're going to do that. I know. Liam, my husband won't let me get a mini cow but I've always wanted one, and I wanted to call it Milk Dud, but he says I'm not allowed to. I guess they produce between like one or two gallons a day. Do you live on a farm? Well, no, and admittedly, it'd be hard where we live now, but that's why it's what I spot. Are you in an apartment?

No, no. We're half house, but the yard is not cow size. Actually, mini cows only need about a half acre. Fun mini cow fact. Listen. You're prepared. You're researching. acre fun mini cow fact listen you're prepared for researching there is like a half mile away this farm with cows and it's amazing because in the middle of it is a creek when you're driving

you drive over the creek and it's fenced off and it is the most heartwarming thing to see the mama cow and the baby cow standing in the creek together and the baby's drinking the water and you drive past and you're like i want this i want the creek i want the baby's drinking the water and you drive past and you're like, I want this. I want the creek. I want the cows. I want to watch them and look at them. It's amazing. This is what man was meant to do.

Farm and raise animals and then, you know, eat them. Yeah. I won't eat them yet, but you know. It's the circle of life, you know?

Yeah. The city wears on you and when you're inside of too heavy of an urban area, the concrete, it all becomes heavy. It all becomes very brutalist. Touch grass. Yeah.

The moment I got out here, I just stood out in the middle of the field and just looked at the sun. It's true. We could not find him for like an hour. It was amazing. That was true. All right. Tyler Riedel. I mean, yeah, this is a massive property.

So you walk in the woods or something. Tyler Riedel says, Tim, my wife and I have been at the hospital since 1.30 p.m. yesterday. She just got an epidural and went 4 to 10 centimeters instantly. Our first baby can't wait to meet them soon.

Long time listener, thank you for fighting the culture war. God bless. Congratulations. I think we've been getting like one or two of these a week for the past

like a month of people like at the hospital being like, I am about to become a parent. It's so exciting. Well, it's because people, someone super chatted earlier like, is this show only ever complained with no solutions? And it's like, I am about to become a parent. It's so exciting. Well, it's because people, someone super chatted earlier, like, is this show only ever complain with no solutions?

And it's like, well, we always tell people like one of the solutions is have kids. Yes. The left are not having kids. They're aborting their kids. They're sterilizing their kids. And the right is having more and more kids and screaming have more kids.

And the end result is actually quite simple. The nation may be below replacement rates in fertility. But if those who believe in freedom, free speech, the Constitution, our traditional moral values and things like this are having more kids and of their demographic are above replacement, 20 years of the country is conservative Christian. Only if you don't send them to public schools, though, because otherwise they just brainwash your kids. Yep.

There is resistance to that. But homeschool your kids and that is a big trend you know any left-wing family of 10 no i mean well wait yes like they're polyamorous yeah i think i know one but again like when you grow up in in like i grew up in new england so there's like you'll have a big catholic family but they all vote democrat because that's like the socially acceptable thing to do. You just have to be active in your children's life if you want to steer them in the directions

you want to see them grow up. Indeed. Let's go. Mike says, Bidens are the same kind of folks who would appear on the Jerry Springer show in the 90s.

That's pretty accurate. To be fair, though, I've got bad news for everybody. The Jerry Springer show in the 90s. That's pretty accurate. To be fair, though, I've got bad news for everybody. The Jerry Springer show is fake. So he could moderate a debate and he wouldn't need to miss a word. I know a guy who went on the Springer show and his show was something like, I'm cheating on my wife with two men or some ridiculous story. None of it is true. Like the guy was just some hippie from Philly or something.

And he was like, oh, we literally just called them up and said, hey, here's our pitch. And they're like, sounds great. Come on the show. And they knew it was not true. And our friends came and we pretended and we fought and they loved the show. So that's our, you know.

I had a friend appear on House Hunters and apparently that's also fake. Like they won't even let you on the show unless you've already bought your house and closed but on the show you're like which one am i gonna buy it's totally fake it's not real oh yeah reality tv it's like when you're in hollywood and you're talking to actors and they're like i do a lot of reality tv and it's like everyone knows it's all scripted fake it's not so much that it's scripted in that they you have an expectation of what they want you to do. And there's like directors and then they edit it in a way

to make it look like whatever they want. I watched election night on 2020. At 2020, the year 2020, it was totally fake. Alright, what do we got? Mega Mikey says, bold of you to assume Joe Biden would even recover from a heart attack or stroke as he stands currently.

Probably would die right on the spot during a rally as you described yikes then what for gavin no i i i i don't think um as that tweet pointed out in the debate we are about to see the manhattan project of psychoactive stimulus like we are going to be like wow and then there was that picture of joe biden with the marks on his hand that looked like it came from an iv he's he's getting oh bro you know that stuff joe rogan talks about you know like the the vitamin iv treatments and he's getting all the baby stem cell therapy that scientology uses on tom cruise for sure i would not be surprised if they're giving biden stem cells for real the chinese The Chinese, I mean, Chinese Communist Party, there's rumors that that's what the leaders do.

They get stem cell injections. Well, look at that guy, what's his name, Brian Johnson, where he gets blood transfusions from his son. Is that what he does? Yeah, from his young son. And then he is like, he has like his blood tested every morning to figure out what he needs to eat, what he's missing, what he's too high of, and things like that. But he looks

exactly his age is why that's weird. So there's this moment in the interview that he did with Tucker Carlson where he goes, am I not a demon to Tucker? Brian Johnson said that? Yes. He says, am I not a demon to Tucker? So Tucker's talking about the spiritual life, right, and like

how this seems unnatural, right, and some might call it demonic. Because he's trying to reverse natural aging. And he goes, am I not a demon? And Tucker is sitting back. He's like, I don't, I'm a Presbyterian. I don't know. And he goes, am I not a demon?

And he just looks. And I texted Tucker afterwards. I'm like, you just talked to a demon, man. And he says, I was totally unprepared. And the answer is yes. I was totally unprepared. And the answer is yes. I was totally unprepared for this interaction. Wow. That was a spiritual realm moment.

I believe it. I think there are demons. I'm not saying. That guy's weird. He always looks moist. You can find. It's up on Tucker's ex. You can go find the interview.

I want to clarify for people, too, because when I say demon, I'm not saying to imagine like a red guy with horns or like a black shadowy figure. I mean like a negative spiritual presence of sorts, something beyond our comprehension, some influence that exists. Cause I didn't believe it, you know, but I have seen people turn evil in an instant and I've seen way too much of it in the past several years like it's getting worse and i mean it like people that i knew normal one day and then the next day doing kubrick stairs hurting animals and just like whoa whoa whoa something's wrong here man like what happened to you like something in their brain snapped i don't know idea i think people need jesus

got it demons people need Jesus even Joe Rogan says that now does he really it's fact so I was I did a big segment I think it was today

on the Harrison Butker situation where you know everything he said he's speaking to a Catholic college and they're like

how dare you say how dare you say Catholic things to Catholic audience when he said to the women I assume many of you are looking forward to your families and your marriages and things like this and I're like, how dare you say, how dare you say Catholic things to Catholic audience? Yeah. When he said to the women, I assume many of you are looking forward to your, your families and your, and your marriages and things like this. And I'm like, yes, they're a bunch of Catholics. Of course they agree with him. Like what? They were like, yes.

Yeah. And, um, the point I made in that segment was when you look at the logical function of what church and faith did for this country and what's happening without it, it's clear that outside of any religious perspective, the things that Christianity gives to society are massively beneficial and strengthened. So when we lose people going to church, which is when the whole community comes together and shares in a shared moral tradition, you lose that, you get crime, you get drug abuse, you get horrible scenarios, you get abuse. So yeah, simply put, from a logical, governmental, secular perspective, religion does great things for society.

Yeah, that's the argument that Jordan Peterson makes in his, because he's, you know, he's one of those people where you ask him if you believe in God, he'll say, well, I act like I do, which is the same. I disagree that it's the same, but he's very keen on the, I guess, utilitarian aspect of religion, especially. Does he believe in God? Well, he acts as if he does, which's the same, but he's very keen on the, I guess, utilitarian aspect of religion, especially. Does he believe in God? Well, he acts as if he does, which is the same. It's not. It's not the same.

I've tried to when I've interviewed him, I've tried to push on that. I that's the only answer he would give. I mean, if you saw the debate he did with Sam Harris, they spent like an hour and a half discussing what is truth, what is belief. So here's a good here's a good example. We talked about we talked about Pennsylvania. So if you're in the chat, shout out Pennsylvania. Go to Kensington in Philadelphia and then just drive like 100 miles into Amish country and see, do you see any drug addicted Amish? Do you see any homeless Amish people? Do you see any Amish people who are degenerates committing crimes and, you know, marching,

rallying and trying to burn down businesses? Do you see any of that in this religious community that is homogenous and that everybody is part of the same religion and they live together in community and they help each other and they build together? You see none of that. It is like two different universes. It might as well be two different Earths, the difference between 100 miles. And I can tell you that the difference is a belief in God. The difference is the structure and the meaning and the purpose that religion provides or just a belief

in a greater power provides. And you can see the difference. You can see the differences just 100 miles apart in the state of Pennsylvania. So a couple of people from the chat, one said, God damn, the religious zealotry is cringe. Others saying religion killing right now in Israel, Gaza. You need to understand the difference between zealotry, fundamentalism and like moral tradition. And so and this is this is for you guys who said that I think you would benefit from, I don't know, moral philosophy and reading these things because the bad exists does not mean the good is bad. So when I say things like church is good because it brings community together, it is not to say church is bad because wars

happen overseas. These are different things. And the simplest way I can explain it in terms of like, I mean, a direct analogy is if everyone in the world shared the same moral tradition, was as devout as Seamus Coughlin of Freedom Tunes, there'd be no war. There would be no need for police. And that is a statement of fact, not an opinion. The challenges arise from when people, when there are people who lack morals, don't share moral tradition, are at odds and dispute with each

other or outright don't care about community. And so when you have, let's, let's remove religion from the equation and simplify it to every Sunday, everyone in the community comes together and hangs out at the community center and they play tic-tac-toe and connect four and they share food. That function strengthens community, reduces crime, increases wealth. And what was doing that before? It was church. And the people who are following this religion in their small communities weren't going and

waging war in Israel and Gaza. What you're talking about is government corruption, institutional power, massive corporations. But the small church where people are saying, be kind to your neighbors, that's a good thing because there are bad people who use the Lord's name in vain, which is to declare war on a foreign country in the name of God. That's wrong. That's against the religion. And I credit Seamus for this because we were talking about the commandments and how the Ten Commandments logically benefit people in general, whether you're religious or not. It's not about being a zealous. I'm not a Christian. I do believe

in God, but I'm not a Christian. It's as simple as there are people who are in violation of the Ten Commandments when they say God is on my side and then go kill people in war. They are using the Lord's name to justify their desires. So there's a big difference between coming together with your neighbors and community saying, here's where we agree you should and should not do, and they live together peacefully. And then people being like, hey, that thing you believe, because of it, you have to go fight and die overseas so I can have oil. Also, I mean, regarding Israel-Gaza, like, I'm sorry, but if you think that religion

is the only reason that conflict is happening, without religion, it would just be a bunch of, like, ethnic Arabs and Jews hanging out, chilling, having a great time. I'm sorry, but no. Yeah, smoking hookah. Yeah. No. If not for religion, there would be peace. I don't think so.

No. No. No, actually. It's the opposite. It's called the golden rule, right? It's do unto others. In fact, the core tenets of freedom is just don't do any harm to other people, actually. And that's basically how the country is founded. Yeah.

So when you say that America is founded on Christian principles, it's, you know, do unto others as you would have them do unto you. That's straight from scripture. That's like the core tenets of the country. And I think everybody can agree with that. In general, that's how you have a society. And you want to live in a high trust society. Zero trust societies are what you see in San Francisco, in Philadelphia, in Chicago. That's the result in New York.

That's the result of a zero trust society. You want to live in a high trust society. All right. Shared principles and morals. Agreed. Benzie Box says once had a leftist tell me the right was far dumber. I asked if they would agree to a literacy test to vote and their head exploded. Yep.

Imagine that. They think they're all so much smarter, but the issue is they confer college degrees with intelligence. They correlate college degree and intelligence. And it's like that may have been the case a long time ago, but it's not really the case these days. In fact, maybe an inverse correlation now. I would argue also a long time ago. I mean, higher education, getting getting college degree has always been um a luxury it's always been something that people strive to get and it's not always accessible

there are tons of people who are incredibly intelligent who didn't go to college like that's just the way our culture has always worked but now it's that level of credentialism yeah and it's a checking a box with it yeah for sure and the overwhelming uh prevalence of leftist ideology in academia that's actually pretty new if you look look at, I think it's 97% of professors report being Democrats. That actually wasn't the case in the 60s and the 70s. And I am pretty sure professors were just as smart back then. So it's actually, it's an example of the left taking over an institution, which we've seen for many institutions. It's just so it happens to include academia, which we equate with smart people. For sure. We have this, Steve Stevens says, happy Lagwagon Day.

Indeed, happy Lagwagon Day. For those that grew up playing the Tony Hawk Pro Skater video games, you know that May 16th, of course, is Lagwagon Day. And for those that did not know, I could be getting this wrong, but my general understanding of the song, it's a song called May 16th. It was on the Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 soundtrack. The song was written by a dude who was, I guess the story was he was in his apartment and he looked out his window and he saw one of his best friends who he had a falling out with getting married. And so he felt pain seeing that if not for the stupid argument, he could be there for one of the most important days of his friend's life.

And that's why the line in the chorus is, it's just another Saturday, is because he's lying to himself saying, none of this matters, it's just another Saturday. And the song, it's wow. Like when you learn what the song is about, it really becomes that much more powerful. So brutal. He was like sad, his best friend was getting married,

he couldn't be there for him because they had to fight. And he's just like, nah, just any other day. There's nothing special going on. I'm going to ignore it. And like, how brutal. I feel like we don't talk enough about friendship breakups as being heartbreaking. It's always like the romantic breakups.

Friend breakups can hurt just as much, if not more. All right. May May 814 says to my wife recently lost her job and we're behind in the bills. Anything will help. Our Brom.om, is that what it is? Well, you're in luck because someone already sent in a super chat saying they wanted to help. So, uh-oh, the app crashed. There we go. Let's see if this one works. Rbrom, if I can forward that there, it looks like it can. I can forward you that there is super chat, but I'll double it.

We'll send a hundred bucks. What what's this for literally anything you want there you go i think that makes it a tax-free gift i guess someone super chatted saying you know they said help someone in need i said okay there you go someone said they're behind the bills we can't do it every single time but someone super chatted us for it. So Remy says I've worked security for a hundred years in Baltimore. 99% of the homeless people are mental health cases with drug problems. The people who are just down on their luck, never stay homeless for long. You are correct. 100%. The experience I had in Chicago and California, the people who are down on their luck, literally hold up a sign saying, I don't need a handout. I need work.

And you walk up to them and say something like, can you, can you carry heavy, heavy boxes? They'll be like, done. Tell me where to be. And they are, they are figuring it out. The problem is the people who are on drugs, who are drunk or who are mentally ill cannot figure out the steps. California did something crazy. This was a couple of years ago where they announced that the frequently homeless homeless would fall under state conservatorship and they would seize their bank accounts and their income and then take control of their lives. And it's an interesting thought because it's basically an asylum. It's like, okay, you've become a ward of the state because you're incapable of taking care of yourself.

The problem is if you are just, if it it's like if you're a homeless person causing problems and destroying things and all that, fine. But the scary thing is if you're just a guy who doesn't have a house and you're sleeping on a park bench and you're not crazy or whatever, and then they're like, you are now a ward of the state for sleeping outside

is where like it starts to get weird. You know what I mean? Yeah, I feel like if you're gonna do something like that, there should always be an out, like a level that you reach of self-sufficiency where you can get out of that so you're not just basically

an indentured servant for the rest of your life because you missed a couple of rent payments or something like that. All right, here we go. One more super chat. Rural Man Life says,
