We've got this progressive reporter who decided that because it was newsworthy, in his opinion, he was going to publish the J.D. Vance dossier that was hacked by Iran and sent to the Biden and Harris campaigns. This information had been circulating among media outlets, but they chose not to release it because it was hacked by Iran. And Ron intentionally did this, sent it to Democrats, hoping to sow discord in the United States, not just to hurt J.D. Vance and give Democrats a weapon to win, but to create chaos. Seemed like they really wanted people to know that they did this.

So a bunch of news outlets said, look, we got this, but we're going to publish it. But don't worry, because the Iranian plan seemed to have worked out to them, thanks to Ken Klippenstein, Klippenstein, the progressive journalist who decided that because it's newsworthy, he's going to publish it on his own sub-stack. He did. Elon Musk, I don't want to say Elon Musk, that's the reporting though, suspended him for doing this because the document apparently contains J.D. Vance's social security number, home address, and considering the attempts on the life of Donald Trump, seems like not a smart thing to do. So we'll talk about that. Plus, a lot of stuff, man, Eric Adams making these claims. He's saying that the Biden administration is going after him with these trumped up charges because

he's pushing back on migration. And that may be the case. It looks like they're going after him over one hundred thousand dollars in campaign contributions, which my understanding, based on cases I've been involved in, don't move the needle. So why are they going after Eric Adams? Well, he claims to have pushed back, but let's be real. He's also given illegal immigrants $4,000 to permanently settle in New York City. So whatever.

We'll talk about it. And more importantly, ladies and gentlemen, there's a class four hurricane that is barreling down on Florida. You guys got to be safe. I hope all of you down there in. You guys got to be safe. I hope all of you down there in the Gulf have taken every precaution. This is why I always say, you know, you want to be prepared because sometimes it rains. It's not about the apocalypse coming.

But this is a scary story, man. The sheriff's department is saying, if you decide not to evacuate, please write down your name and birthday on your arm so they can identify you when you die. That's how serious this is. This is a class for please take it seriously, man. We don't want to hear any stories about people losing their lives. And I I fear that we will also check it out.

Who are you? What do you do? So I'm an author. I struggled for a number of years with the gender ideology. I felt susceptible to that. And then I read a book discussing how so many young kids are being susceptible to this on TikTok, in schools, how gender ideology and woke culture is being pushed on kids. And in my book, Gender Madness, is basically trying to help parents look out for the warning signs

and just help young people that are struggling. But I also do a lot of news commentary as well, following a lot of politics, of course, watching your show for getting all their latest news and stuff. So excited to be here. Right on, we got Libby hanging out. I'm Libby Emmons.

I'm hanging out. I'm with the Postmillennial and Human Events. Glad to be here with you, Ali, and everybody else. I'm glad you're both here. I think it'll be an interesting conversation. I'm Hannah Clare Brimel. I'm a writer for SCNR.com at Scanner News. You can check out all of our work on the Internet. Let's get started. Here's a big story from Newsweek. Elon Musk suspends reporter who published J.D. Vance dossier.

For those that aren't familiar, Iran hacked the Trump campaign. They found this opposition. Well, it's not opposition research, but they did vetting research on J.D. Vance to determine if he was going to be a good VP. In it, there are some negative things or things they think may be weaknesses. Iran hacks the Trump campaign, sends the info to the Democrats, to Biden and Harris, trying to get them to use it. They said they're not going to go near it. Apparently, they're working with the feds. The feds are like, yes, Iran's trying to interfere in the election. It's a malign influence campaign, they call it. So a bunch of journalists get access to this and they all decide because sharing this will

interfere in the election and assist Iran in their efforts, we won't publish it. Well, you know, rest assured you'll get some woke journalist who hates J.D. Vance who decides he's going to publish it anyway. And he did. Ken Klippenstein has been suspended. It may be permanent. Newsweek says for X, the X account of journalist Ken Klippenstein was suspended on Thursday following the release of the dossier about J.D. Vance that was allegedly from an Iranian government hack. Here's the dossier the media refused to publish, he wrote in a post earlier. He's a former reporter at The Intercept, published the dossier to his Substack website about three hours prior to his account suspension. So we actually have his post here.

We're not going to pull up the dossier. But the J.D. Vance dossier includes his social security number, home address, phone number and a bunch of private information that should have been redacted. And there are a lot of leftists and liberals who are pointing this out, saying that WikiLeaks publishes information all the time and they painstakingly redact private information to protect the individual. If there's something newsworthy, you don't you don't need to publish the phone number. This guy didn't do that. And that's basically why he got taken down. Here's what he says. Behold, the dossier reportedly comes from an alleged Iranian government hack of the Trump campaign. And since June, the news media has been sitting on it, declining to publish in fear of finding itself at odds with the government's campaign against foreign malign influence. I disagree. The dossier has been offered to me and I decided to publish it because it's of keen public interest in election season.

It's a 271 page research paper. The Trump campaign prepared to vet now vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance. As far as I can tell, it hasn't been altered. Even if it was, its contents are publicly verifiable. Let's speak for itself. Quote, the terror regime in Iran loves the weakness and stupidity of Kamala Harris and is terrified of the strength and resolve of Donald Trump. Stephen Chung, communications director for the Trump campaign, responded when I asked

about the hack. If the document had been hacked by some anonymous like hacker group, the news media would be all over it. I'm just not a believer of the news media as an arm of the government doing its work combating foreign influence. I'm going to pause right there and say you're a scumbag, Ken. That's not true. You published it because you wanted attention for you for your Web site. When the Steele dossier came out and you make the argument, well, the Steele dossier was BS. Yes.

And even though that came from Clinton and it came from domestic sources, news outlets still decided not to publish it until BuzzFeed and all their scumbaggery decided to publish nonsense garbage. Every journalist basically was a line saying there's no reason to publish this. It wasn't obtained in any reasonable way. And it's private campaign materials. But you know what? I hope you get new subscribers. How about that? Yeah, it does seem like a very self-serving move.

Any kind of claim to being an honorable journalist who's doing this for the public good seems obviously a cover up for poor judgment and a lack of ethical standards. You know, the thing is, J.D. Vance has very young children. And so, you know, I think a lot of people could could say generally, oh, he lives in this part of Ohio or whatever else. But to put his Social Security number out there to put other things out puts a lot of people other than him at risk. the two physical attacks on Donald Trump. I don't know why anyone would say, I think this is a great call. I'm going to do around spitting and let this out there, especially because as far as I can tell, like the stuff that's in there that seems to paint J.D. Vance and maybe a somewhat negative light is basically already known. I mean, there really wasn't like to me from what I know about the reporting, I haven't read the dossier, a smoking gun. I think it seems like this reporter

was heard the word dossier and thought that's scandalous and I have it and I'll release it. What do you think it was that he was trying to gain by doing this? Anything other than just getting attention? Attention. I mean, look, has anybody heard his name before? No. Yeah. I know who he is because he's an intercept reporter and I'm on X all the time watching. So I see posts from this guy. But, I mean, people want attention. That's what they do. That's why you get these. He's the news equivalent of a nuisance streamer.

Interesting. Yeah, they go into shopping markets. They go to Walmart, and they grab gallons of milk, and they splash it all over themselves, and they scream nonsense. Those guys are awful. They want to get the views. That's basically what this guy is doing. There's no news. Nothing about this is newsworthy.

Let me show you some of what's in it, okay? no, no, no. This is OK. It's OK. Quote, Vance has been one of the chief obstructionists to U.S. efforts to providing assistance to Ukraine. OK, that's just his congressional record. Yeah, right. It says Vance criticized public health experts and elected officials for supporting Black Lives Matter protests while condemning anti-lockdown protests. OK. Vance embraced non-interventionism. OK. In 2020, he criticized President Trump's airstrike killing Soleimani, worrying it would continue to bog down America in the Middle East. Yeah, he's anti-intervention. OK. So why publish a document with this guy's private information? Why not redact any of it? It's not newsworthy that you've basically got a list of things that

J.D. Vance has said or done. It's just not. Well, it's clear this guy is obviously after a scoop and he's thinking he can go viral or get, you know, as you said, new subscribers. But, you know, the FBI has been warning for months that Iran is interfering in the election. They've already said that Iran was behind plots to try and assassinate President Trump. So the fact that he knows this, he's saying at the start of the article, you know, it's allegedly from an Iranian hack. He knows that that's clearly, you know, wrong. Yet he's deciding to publish it anyway, especially when, you know, there's been two assassination attempts on Trump. And then he's putting private details of J.D. Vance, putting him and his family at risk. You know, it's it's it's ridiculous. And also to know that Iran is the number one state sponsor of

terrorism and to try and take something that they've hacked and publish it if he's got a scoop. There was a story a long time ago where there was this dude who worked at Condé Nast and he was gay, but nobody knew he was gay. And then somebody got information on him and threatened to blackmail him. And they said, you know, I can't remember exactly what it was, but I think it was give me money or I'm going to out you. So he refused to pay. They went to, I think it might have been Gawker. I'm not sure. And said, here's information on this guy. He's gay.

And they went, yeah, and they published it. And everybody was like, so you just aided and abetted the blackmailer. You could have told him to screw off. And they're like, yeah, well, someone would have published it. What he's doing here is Iran has a campaign. And I'm going to be as hard and dark with it as I can. And I hope he hears it. Iran's campaign against the United States right now involves militias killing our men and women in uniform, funding them and giving them weapons so they can do that. That's the most extreme thing happening right now overseas. Next, the most extreme thing domestically is they're trying to kill Donald Trump as a part of their campaign against us.

They're also trying to sow discord in this country. Ken, I hope you appreciate being a part of their campaign, which includes all of those things. Yeah, it does seem like he's just playing into their hands. And especially right after Trump put out that statement the other day saying that there had been more attempts on his life that hadn't necessarily been publicized and that Iran was, you know, perhaps behind some of this stuff. It is kind of scary. And if you think about it, too, like, doesn't Iran have their hands pretty deep into a lot of places, not just in the Middle East, but in South America and, you know, and in parts of Africa and stuff?

Aren't they kind of everywhere? I think they do have an influence network that they've developed over time I think people think oh they're in the Middle East and that's far away and we don't think about it but they're kind of everywhere and I think that's true for a lot of countries right there are a lot of countries that have influence in America and other nations that that they don't broadly publicize um you know I again, this journalist decision to publish this to me seems like he's trying to front as I'm doing this for democracy and because the free press is good and I think you deserve to know this information. But really, that seems to be more of an effort to cover up a desire to

become famous, to become an elite journalist. And, you know, that to me speaks to something. Melania Trump did an interview, or at least it was released today, with Fox & Friends. And she was talking about, you know, she reflected on a lot of stuff. But one of the things she said was like the opposite, the other party in the media are pushing this narrative that divides us, that encourages hateful actions. And again, you know, Libby can probably speak to this a lot, but all editorial bores, all editors in the world have to have this conversation that's like,

we have this information. Is this newsworthy? Can we verify it? What's the standard here? And while there are a lot of really great journalists on Substack, in this case, this guy said, like looked at himself in the mirror and said, I've decided this is worth publishing

and I don't care about the consequences to anyone, but how it'll impact me. So there's big, there's big outrage that he got suspended. And I want to show this post from Ed Krasenstein because he asked some questions that we can we can answer for you. He says, first, I'm going to start off by saying I'm against doxing. For those unfamiliar, this is a liberal personality. He's prominent on X. He says, with that said, the below screenshot is a publicly available filing on Alaska's government website that shows all of J.D. Vance's public information,

including his home address, email address and children's names. This is a public filing for candidacy. It's available on Alaska.gov website. If you search, it's also available on plenty of other public and government websites. My question to X and Elon Musk is this. At what point does something get labeled as doxing? The infamous New York Post article shared multiple private email addresses of Hunter Biden and multiple associates. Yet X criticizes Jack Dorsey for blocking it. X hasn't deleted posts made by made with my email address, phone numbers or photos of my kids. They claim that the information is available elsewhere on the Internet, so it's not considered doxing. So where is the consistency? What are the black and white rules? We need answers. All private email addresses viewed the same as private phone numbers, addresses, photos,

texts, messages, emails. He makes a few good points. I'll agree with him. People have published his private information and they've not taken it down because X does play it both ways. They did this under Jack Dorsey and it's still happening now. I like Elon Musk and I trust him much more than Dorsey and Vijay Gade. But the argument here is this information is J.D. Vance's private information. That's where you got it from. Don't aid and abet people who are trying to do bad things. So just because the information exists somewhere doesn't mean you have a right to go tell people how to find it or post it on the site for everyone to plainly see. I take issue with how X actually handles this for the most part, because what they claim is, if your information can be found anywhere on the internet,

it's allowed to be published on X. And that is absolutely psychotic. So if a hacker, in this instance, hacks private information, sends it to a journalist, and they publish it, well, interestingly, in this instance, they did take him down. to a journalist, and they publish it. Well, interestingly, in this instance, they did take him down. Why? It's an honest question. I don't

like the double standard. You shouldn't be able to post anybody's private information no matter where they got it from. Yeah, I think that that's right. You shouldn't be able to publish it. Looking at it, though, I didn't think that the New York Post published a lot of private emails. Not only that, but that wasn't hacked. Yeah, they got it from, and that was the argument, of course, is that the FBI told Twitter and Facebook that if they received, essentially, that if they received a Hunter Biden laptop, that it would be Russian disinformation or hacked or something like that. So they believed it to be hacked, for sure, even though it wasn't. But that is a difference. It wasn't hacked, but... Was not. Yeah. Not hacked. I mean, again, I don't think the points are bad at all. I just think that means that more people's private information

should be treated like it's serious to leak that information on Twitter. And I think especially, again, it's difficult when it's a public figure because I think any platform might treat their case with a little bit more deference than other cases. But it doesn't mean, you know, the Krasenstein's private information to me is less serious. It just means that, like, we are kind of losing it as a society. Yeah, I mean, what's funny, too, though, is that people's public information used to be readily available. The phone book handed it to everyone in this great big thing called the White Pages. Still exists. And it has, yeah, it has your address and your name and your phone number just right there in it.

And it wasn't a big deal to have it be like, oh, I know where you live. It would be like, yeah, well, so does everybody in this zip code. Like everyone knows where everyone lives. But it was different when it was like something your community knew maybe someone would be able to look up whereas now you know again if you're a public figure and i can i'm happy to include the cross and seeds in this like you don't know what someone who obtains your address is going to send you or if they're going to show up like the security risks are very different when we lived in smaller communities if you're not as high profile person it's not that it isn't serious if someone sends you something bad at the mail but the odds of it are a little bit less likely well and you have the

whole swatting thing i mean that's really scary yeah and dangerous you know you just have cops show up yeah guns drawn yeah ready to blow your face but i i really feel like a lot of this is the word dossier right like the last time i feel like i remember it used widely in in american media was the steel dossier i mean there's this idea that the dossier is full of you know scandalous secrets and it's going to reveal all of these things they're trying to hide but actually it's just sort of a collection of information and i wonder if that's that was one of the reasons someone was tempted to publish this because they thought oh oh, you know, the word dossier will draw attention and implies that they're ashamed of these things when it doesn't.

How did BuzzFeed get a hold of the Steele dossier? Was it leaked to them? It was circulating in the media. All these journalists had and were sharing it. They just ran the P-tape thing first. Yep. And they did this stupid garbage where they're like, we think this is newsworthy. It's not right that journalists can see this and you can't. And it was like, well, it's all unvetted garbage gossip. You know, it's like, imagine I made a dossier

and it was like the Kamala dossier and it's all just garbled nonsense as a joke. Hand it off to a journalist who hands it off to a journalist who hands it off to a journalist. Rumors start circulating about the Kamala dossier. And then someone's like, I think people have a right to see what we're talking about. And then it's like, you know, Kamala peed on the bed with hookers or whatever. Like, I'm just that's what they said about Trump. It was just made up, garbled nonsense. They turned it into a story. My favorite Trump era news story will always be when the Huffington Post tweeted somewhere.

There may be a video of Trump doing something in an elevator. What he was doing, we don't know where it was. We're not sure. But it's the white whale of journalism. It's like, are you kidding me? They published that? These people are psychopaths. Yeah, that is crazy.

Yeah, we live in a we live in a web of lies. Web of lies. There are a lot of lies. That's lies for days. That's really, really consistent. I mean, that was a lot of what I remember of the criticism of trump in 2016 and going through his presidency which like it was like the media had this this promise of uh the ever evasive scandal that was about to come out and they're about to uncover the saying and this was true of you know the tapes but also like

oh his foreign dealings and he did this thing wrong and actually maybe there's something like it was just constant, like they were about to unveil something big and they never did. Whereas, you know, with the Biden administration, scandals would pop up pretty naturally and they'd be like, it doesn't seem like that big a deal. Well, it's such a weird thing because the double standard is so obvious and nowhere is it more clear than in the classified documents case

with Joe Biden and Donald Trump. So Donald Trump is the president. He leaves with some documents. Every president does it. Right. Bill Clinton notoriously kept private documents in his sock drawer. Right. Hillary's emails as well. Hillary's emails. The Clintons also left with furniture from the White House and had to return it. Are you kidding? That's severe. I could see that like trying to just make off with abe lincoln's side table but um but yeah like you had the justice department say that obviously they said that uh bill um not bill clinton the other one joe biden that's his name that joe biden couldn't

be prosecuted for keeping classified documents even though he had absolutely no cause to keep them and trump is they still are trying to uh to get the fact that the case was dismissed. They're trying to get that overturned and get back into that into that situation with Trump. It's absurd. So when you see something pop up, you immediately start to think, how am I being lied to? How is the Justice Department, you know, weaponizing itself against the political opponents of the Biden Harris administration? How is the media spinning this? Like those are your first thoughts. Your department, you know, weaponizing itself against the political opponents of the Biden-Harris administration? How is the media spinning this? Like, those are your first thoughts. Your first thoughts aren't, you know, about the news story or about whatever happened or the

implications of it. Your first thoughts are, who do I distrust most in this story? Who is lying to me? Right. Yeah. And then you had Melania Trump this morning on Fox and Friends basically saying how it was an invasion of her privacy. went for all her belongings and she was obviously very upset about that and you know these people she's she was the former first lady but they're still human beings you know and to have the fbi raid your home go through your personal possessions you know family photos and whatever you know it's she was clearly upset by it and she's obviously wrote about that in her book and it's like there's such a double standard when standard when Joe Biden has all these documents in his garage, you know, he seems to get a free pass. But then when it comes to Trump, it's like this constant witch hunt trying

to get him and it's like, there's doesn't seem to be equal justice between, you know, the candidates. Right. And I think Melania Trump is a great example of this, because she has been so ostracized for being married to Donald Trump, even though she is, you know, a very private person. I mean, she she didn't really rock the boat as first lady. And yet everyone kind of acts like she is culpable for all of the criticisms that they have of Trump. I don't care if you criticize Trump, but, you know, it was kind of ridiculous when designers were like, we're refusing to dress her. She's literally our supermodel first lady and you are saying our our perception or our understanding of what we think you guys represent as a couple is more important than reality that's wild yeah let's

jump to this story from the post-millennial new york city mayor eric adams to be arraigned on corruption and bribery charges on friday he said to be arraigned after the indictment. Adams was charged with five counts, including conspiracy to commit wire fraud, federal program bribery, to receive campaign contributions by foreign nationals, wire fraud solicitation of a contribution by a foreign national and bribery.

Adams, say bribery twice. Sorry. Federal program bribery. So it's a different thing. I had that same thought when I was writing it and I was like, didn't I already write bribery? And yes, I had. But it was two different things. Adams official residence of Gracie Mansion was raided on Thursday morning. But I'm not going to read it. You wrote it. What's going on? Yeah. So Adams is going to be arraigned tomorrow. I wonder if we're going to get a mugshot. That

would be really quite a thing, you know. And he was indicted on Wednesday. The indictment was handed down. It was revealed in court today. And basically the story goes, according to the Department of Justice, that Eric Adams, since he decided to run for mayor in what was it, 2018 for his 2021 run, ended up involved with Turkish officials, people with Turkish airlines, that he was getting a whole bunch of free upgrades, you know, that anytime he had to travel, he would try and take Turkish airlines because they'd give him free upgrades, that they also were funneling, Turkish airlines and other Turkish officials were funneling campaign contributions illegally

through straw man donors in the US because it's not legal for them to contribute. Only individuals can contribute. And a whole bunch of other laws were allegedly broken through that, that the officials were like, how much can I give? And they found Turks in the U.S. to give them cash and funnel money that way. And then it's alleged that Turkey used their leverage over Adams recently, demanding that he get the Turkish consulate opened, despite it having not passed fire inspection. I believe it. I believe that, you know, it's certainly I mean, yeah, he definitely could have done all this stuff. New York is a very corrupt place.

The argument is selective prosecution. That's what's interesting about it. Right. Like does what was it like a hundred thousand dollars in gifts or something? Yeah, there was a hundred thousand dollars. There was country. But but the other part that they're alleging, too, is that with the campaign contributions, New York also has this election matching program. So they give you election funds based on funds that you've raised. So they're saying that because of the illegal contributions that he got, he then leveraged those monies to get contributions.

And he essentially defrauded New York by taking those matching funds. He's claiming because he pushed back against Joe Biden. That's why they're coming after him. Donald Trump speaking today said, as soon as I saw Eric Adams complaining about the immigration, I said, he'll be indicted within a year. And then he gets indicted. That being said, famously, Eric Adams was giving $4,000

per migrant family to permanently settle in New York. And it was a huge uproar only a couple of weeks ago. So I don't really buy that the federal government was like, we better shut him down. Why? Because they wanted to go further than $4,000 per family to permanently settle in New York. I mean, that's egregious. One of his criticisms or one of his criticisms of the Biden administration, also one of Governor Kathy Hochul's criticisms was basically you are not issuing work permits fast

enough for all these people who are here. I mean, they did push back against Biden. It's just not that they didn't become sort of pro mass deportation or anything. They pushed back in the way that you would expect a Democrat to. Basically saying, you are not very good at this. You have created a problem we are now handling. That was all true.

Give us more money and more resources right now, which, you know, on brand for brand. It was about a year ago that Eric Adams was saying that the border crisis was going to destroy New York City. He was very vocal about that. And he was actually heading down to Washington, D.C., when his former campaign manager's office was raided by the FBI. And so he never made it down there to the meeting of mayors to tell, you know, Biden, that they were doing a bad job to give him what for, you know, so he had to turn around, head back to New York, and deal with this whole scandal, which has continued to unfold, as has the immigration issue. Right? I mean, there's been a lot of resignations recently,

you know, who resigned? Yeah, so I was just going to say that that's the debate on X at the moment is Eric Adams obviously has facilitated the migrant crisis with the, you know, hotels being booked out just for migrants, the credit card scheme, and many other things as well. But it comes after Governor Hochul's

former chief of staff was arrested and they basically said that she was a Chinese agent, basically a foreign agent. And then it comes, of course, the NYPD commissioner had to resign. So it all seems to be coming at once. And, you know, Trump was obviously kind of suggesting that, you know, it's because Eric Adams pushed back, Governor Hoxha was pushing back. But they have also, as Tim said, they have allowed this to happen for the last few years. And, you know, when you go to New York, it's

it's very sad to see what's happening there. And there's there's a lot of crime. And, you know, the NYPD are doing a great job, but they're struggling, clearly. And real quick, Raymond G. Stanley Jr. chimed in and he said, now that Eric Adams is being indicted, right wing influencers love him, even though he's a race hustler and a POS. I'm tired of the grifting from the right. I the right is too quick to forgive eric adams on this one i mean you brought up the the nypd commissioner his uh resignation is actually technically separate right it's an investigation into influence peddling having to do with nightclubs like you would get a noise complaint you pay people off But to me, it does speak to maybe the culture of the cabinet

that Eric Adams has surrounded himself with. People who view their office as an extension of their ability to influence the city and to seek benefits for themselves. The schools commissioner also resigned. I mean, to me, again, the fact that there are like multiple issues at play for one city, I mean, it's the largest city in America, but one city's governing body does not speak well of the person who appointed them. And that is Mayor Eric Adams. You know, I do think he pushed back in his own way against the Biden administration. I don't think that that necessarily means that he is a super ethical person. Remember, what he wanted for the Biden administration was more money and work permits. He did. He did want more money and

he wanted them to take responsibility for what they'd done. But I mean, there's something that you have to understand about New York City, which is Eric Adams was the most conservative candidate running other than Curtis Sliwa, who is the head of the Guardian Angels and lives in a studio apartment with 20 cats. He lives in a studio apartment with 20 cats. He lives in a studio apartment with 20 cats. It's hard as New Yorker to vote for a single man who lives in a studio apartment with 20 cats. I don't know. I don't even care what his politics are at this point. I'm sold.

Yeah. Amazing. 20 in one studio apartment? This was what I remember reading at the time. This is a lot of cats. I hope he featured them in his campaign ads. You know, he seems okay, but I don't know that he would have been able to wrangle the government under control either. I think we do need a better mayor.

I mean, John Katzmataitis is like an option. How about Cuomo? He's going to run. He is totally going to run, and he's going to win. He's definitely going to win. Is he a Republican? I think he'd win no matter what he ran as. I don't think it would matter. He could run as an independent.

He could run as a libertarian because it would be funny. I think that he would win. But the people of New York still love Andrew Cuomo and they don't think that any of the sexual misconduct allegations against him were legit. And I'll tell you something else. Neither does Letitia James, because they pushed him out of office with these sexual misconduct allegations. They didn't care that he killed a bunch of people in nursing homes. They just cared that he patted some girl on the butt and she didn't like the hug or whatever else.

He was kissing people, remember? Oh, no. He was kissing people. He's Italian. You guys don't know. Just like my great uncles. What are you going to do? He posted all these pictures of him basically doing what he's accused of doing, being like,

I'm Italian. What's the problem? Hey, oh. The most New York development I've ever heard. Well, it's the truth. I kiss people. Come on. They would totally vote for him.

But they forced him out of- She never brought charges. No. Yeah. They forced him out of office. She never brought charges against Cuomo because all they really wanted was to install Kathy Hochul, which they did do. And I feel like in this case, they definitely want to get rid of Adams. You know, he was not the darling.

Maya Wiley was the darling in this case, who all of the progressives wanted her to win the mayoralty back then. And she's the one who just recently appeared before Congress and when asked what a woman is, said a woman is anyone who says she is. Well, the problem is now with the Eric Adams scandal, you've got progressives like AOC jumping on the bandwagon, basically calling for his resignation. Biden was asked earlier, do you think he should resign?

And he just said, I don't know. You know, maybe- Joe Biden doesn't know where to go. He doesn't know where he is anyway And he just said, I don't know. You know, maybe. Joe Biden doesn't know where it's going. He doesn't know where he is anyway. I'm on vacation. He called J.D. Vance the secretary of Vance. Right. A lot of people in New York are worried now because if Eric Adams was to resign,

there's Jermaine Williams, who's the city's public advocate. He could temporarily take over. And he is a radical BLM activist, mask loving. He is nuts. So he's been arrested multiple times. He's very much anti-police, anti-NYPD. So when you've got someone like AOC calling for Adams' resignation,

you've got to think who's next in line. It would be 10 times worse. Whatever criticism people may have of him with his handling of the migrant crisis, a BLM activist that's anti-police in a city that's got so much crime, that's going to be 10 times worse. It can actually definitely get worse, New Yorkers.

Yeah, I mean, and it has been worse before. Look at Bill de Blasio. Bill de Blasio was worse than Eric Adams. Remember how under Bill de Blasio, rats were running around attacking people? Yes, I do remember that. You were there, right? I lived there under Bill de Blasio.

So people are walking around New York and they would see like five to six rats just running around looking for food because they're starving and they'd like chase people. Yeah, Bill de Blasio, whose COVID czar was engaging in sex parties, well, you know, rolling on ecstasy. And, you know, he just figured he needed to let off some steam. That story really has me steamed personally but you also had bill de blasio being like everybody stay home and we're calling off new year's eve even though that's what we're known for and you guys can all watch live on cnn while andy cohen gets drunk and me and my wife dance in time square, like tin pot despots.

Yeah. Oh, my goodness. Is that the year they had the little quarantine stages? Yes. And then he violates all the rules so he can have a private Times Square. With his wife, who then they eventually got divorced and had some sort of polyamorous thing. And now he's in Michigan. That loser.

Why is he in Michigan? Oh, he's like literally a professor. He's like teaching somewhere. Didn't he like spend time in Venezuela or Cuba or something? He did everything wrong. Just, I'm sure. He changed his name. His name is not like Bill de Blasio.

He made that up. Oh, yeah. It was like Walter or something. It was like Wilhelm. Oh, yeah. Something German. Yeah. That's so weird. We live in weird times. It was like Wilhelm. Oh, yeah. Something German. Yeah. So weird.

We live in weird times. It's very bizarre. Just very weird. But so when Eric Adams showed up to try and run on the Democrat ticket and the options were like Maya Wiley, whoever the legacy of Bill de Blasio was. And maybe it was Bill de Blasio. Was he running? I don't think so. Was he out?

And Eric Adams. People went for Eric Adams because he was the more conservative choice. And then he did this crazy thing that my son will never forgive him for, which was instituting vegan lunches on Fridays in all New York City public schools. Oh, for real? Yes, he did. Eric Adams? Yeah.

He's totally vegan. And then my son would come home on Friday and he'd be like, I'm starving. That's messed up because the vegan food is garbage. It's not food. I'm sorry. It's not food. When I was at the RNC, we were at a hotel and I was buying breakfast from the hotel. I'd go in and it's like 10 bucks and you get all the eggs, bacon, sausage, whatever.

On one day, I open up the sausage thing and i look at him and i'm like you could tell something doesn't look right and i was like i'll take one i took it and when i pressed my fork into it it like excreted a milky fluid like a sponge and i looked at it and i was like what is this and i took a i took a piece i started chewing on it and i spat it out and i asked the waitress i was like this is not sausage and she's like no it is and i And I took a piece and I started chewing on it and I spat it out. And I asked the waitress, I was like, this is not sausage. And she's like, no it isn't. And I was like, no it isn't. And she's like, let me go ask him. And then she came back out and she was like,

we're sorry, that was vegan sausage. And I was like, dude, people could get sick from eating this. I'm not kidding. It's not food. It was disgusting. It sounds really gross. I know people that have really serious allergic reactions to vegan alternatives, right? Like, vegan cheese is made of cashews. If you're allergic to cashews, you should probably know what it is.

I mean, the thing, too, is there's plenty of cuisines in the world that are very strict vegetarian, that don't have dairy and all that. And they have centuries of making actual good food. You know, we don't have to eat weird, fake, milky sausages. We need to switch things to a more optimistic tune. So in this story from the Post Millennial, they write, Republicans in the lead on party ID for the first time in third quarter of a presidential election year, according to Gallup.

Of U.S. adults, 48% said they identified or leaned towards the Republican Party, while 45% said that of the Democratic Party. Well, there you go. Have a good day, everybody. Feel good about yourselves. Yay. Because Kamala day, everybody. Feel good about yourselves. Yay. Because Kamala Harris is losing. And it's a big deal.

I actually went back on the Gallup poll to 2020 and 2016. Around this time, it was always heavily Democrat. People were leaning Democrat, and they were not leaning Republican. And then I'll just give you this one. This one's really funny. NJ.com, the way they wrote the story was hilarious. It was new swing state polls, very bad for one candidate.

You know, new Harris versus Trump poll shows trouble in swing states for one candidate. Yeah, which one? You know why they wrote it this way? I want to ask you, Libby, as someone who writes headlines, why do you think they wrote a nondescript headline like this? They wrote a nondescript headline because they want you to click on the story.

I believe that's normally the case. That is normally the case. But I think there's a different reason as to why they're doing this now. I think they want you to assume that it's Trump who is suffering. Oh, do you think so? That Harris is doing well. I don't think so. Really?

I mean, possibly. But I think there is a suspense is built. It is because if they write the headline that Harris is losing, people will get angry and they will not click it. Oh, interesting. You think they'll just be mad? For a fact, I know this from when we make headlines. You know, that you have to, like, first of all, something has to make someone angry,

but in a way that makes them feel like they can do something. I'm pretty sure at NJ.com, it's New Jersey. They're probably thinking if we put new swing state poll has Harris down, people are going to refuse to look at it. They want their own opinions regurgitated back at them. So you got to write it in a way that they can't really tell. And so you're wondering, I wonder who it's going to be bad for. But lo, it is Harris.

Harris ain't doing so well trump's winning so you know kamala's already she's been being criticized by leftist pundits now too i mean she was criticized a little bit last night by the msnbc host who interviewed her you know she was saying hey where's the substance on this she's been criticized by some people on CNN. She's not getting the pass. Holistically. Holistically. Not getting it holistically. Yeah. I think there was something that was going around like drink every time she says holistically.

And it's like, you would be drunk, like depending on. So yeah, I think that that's, I think that's happening too, because in part, I think a lot of these news networks are realizing that if they just keep lying and keep trying to ride on vibe, they're not going to have any access to a Trump White House. And that would be disconcerting for them. So we saw that story about Zuckerberg being libertarian. Yeah, that was about this morning. I think it's the same thing. I think he's sitting there being like Trump's going to win and the iron fist is coming down on my face, so I better turn things around and make him happy.

I was going to say, Ben, you've also got Zelensky now agreeing to having a meeting as well, so I think there's a lot of people now panicking, thinking we better get in Trump's good books, because he's going to win. I'm loving it. All the stuff we're seeing right now is indicating that power structures have already determined Trump won.

I hope that's the case. Otherwise, if you're voting, don't take it for granted. Please go. I know. I think Libby's point is interesting in part because I wonder if you're the media,

you're used to being like, well, we scratch the Democrats back. We prop them up. We give her the softball interviews and then they give us exclusives and like key information and we're able to like use it for stories and content.

And so far they propped her up. They did the thing they know they're supposed to do. And the Kamala Harris campaign has been like, great, we'll give you no interviews and no specifics on policies and no information. And we'll just sort of hang back here. I mean, the mainstream media might be scared that they are not getting access to a Trump White House. But I think they're also realizing if they continue down the path they're going, they're guaranteeing that they'll get nothing from four years of a Harris-Walls administration. It's kind of hilarious. Yeah, that is pretty funny. She's not doing them any favors, right? No, she isn't doing any favors. And she wouldn't give access anyway if they, you know, like you're saying, if they go into a Kamala Harris White House, they wouldn't have access there either because she's not going to give any access.

We can see every time she does an interview, there's like all this buildup. She's going to do an interview, you guys. Maybe she's going to say something that matters. I think she would give them access. I just think they all realize it's access to what? Well, there's no substance there. Holistic unburdening. What are you going to get? You can't squeeze blood out of a turnip. I mean, I think she's realized Joe Biden has done very few interviews. It looks like I could be a president like this. She's given very few interviews on the campaign trail. Like she

does. She's realizing that, like, she is the one with the power because the media, again, will, you know, be submissive and praise her no matter what and so if they don't change their ways they're kind of stuck uh i think that that that you know they may hate trump but he gives them a lot of content there's always something to say about trump trump she's giving them nothing yeah yeah well trump's winning hope y'all are happy about it because kamala harris is freaking out drew hernandez has this post it's pretty funny he says if you're wondering why kamala is going down to the border in arizona tomorrow this is why her campaign emails are in disarray the campaign is falling apart just about a month out from the election and this is why she's begging for a debate harris waltz emailed the new york times has released new polls of georgia arizona north carolina unfortunately

trump leads in all three states trump's up by five in in Arizona, four in Georgia and two in North Carolina. Now, to be fair, they do this on purpose to generate money. They want you to be scared, sense of urgency. That being said, she's still down. The New York Times did publish this poll. She is losing. And it's pretty wild to see following the debate when even Nate Silver is giving her the edge and saying it looks like she's going to win. I'm just sitting here being like, do you guys learn your lesson? Biden was up seven points this time in 2020. And Trump supporters were pushing and pushing and pushing, but they could not win the procedure. That's that's that's the game the Democrats played. These polls are really good for Donald Trump.

My question then in the inverse is, are Republicans going to learn their lesson? And show up and vote? Yeah, they better. Because these polls, I don't know if these polls are big enough to beat the Seattle campaign, right? But ultimately, you've got the media.

Let's separate the argument from the election. In the argument, Trump's winning across the board argument from the election in the argument trump's winning across the board i mean if you look at the bias of 2016 and 2020 and today trump is actually up a couple points they give they give democrats between a four and seven point edge in the swing states so trump is clearly winning harris knows it she's freaking out she's going to the border it's like the second time or is it the first time? Well, yeah, it's the second because she was appointed border czar in March 2021. She talked to the president of Venezuela, of Guatemala, rather. And then by June, her office was saying that wasn't her job anymore because she'd been so successful.

No, they just said it was never her job. Right. And now even Fox News won't say. She went to the border once, but it was El Paso. She went to El Paso. She went near the border. She went near the border. She went near the border. Yeah. Is that where they put like corn relish on hot dogs?

I don't know. I don't think I've ever been to El Paso. Oh, no. That's Texas, right? That's Texas. It sounds like a Texas thing, corn on hot dogs. Well, it's New Mexico. Is it?

I don't know. Yeah, New Mexico. I've never been there. I've always wanted to go to Santa Fe, honestly. Santa Fe's supposed to be super cool. This is what I, yeah, I want to see the old pots. Let's go. I'm closer to the border than Kamala Harris ever has in her whole life.

I mean, but, like, let's just talk about the seriousness of Kamala Harris going to the border. Wow. She must be doing really bad. She's desperate. Their internal polling must be really, really pretty bad. They know it. They know they're going to lose.

And there's no way for her. I mean, as long as people actually vote. I mean, I think that I think that Republicans or people who support Trump, which in many cases probably doesn't mean Republicans necessarily need to show up and vote. Like the numbers have to be too big to deny,

you know, because if they're close, they could very easily screw around. We already know, and the Washington Post has told us, that the numbers won't be available on an election night, that Pennsylvania's numbers won't be in on election night, because Pennsylvania, and I think, is it Georgia or Arizona? They won't start counting the mail-in ballots until the day of. So once they, so like what that means, essentially, if you have a bit of a tinfoil hat on,

if you want to, you could imagine that they see the results coming in from everywhere else and they can make their own decision as to what's going on there. Yeah, I think the Harris-Wallace campaign is in trouble on a lot of fronts. There's a Fox News poll that came out today that said nine out of every 10 Americans are locked into their vote.

So there are a certain number of people who are like, I'll probably vote for Harris, but I'm not sure. But for the most part, also for Trump, right, they lean, but they're not sure. For the most part, Americans know who they want to support. And to your point, it's a question is, are they actually getting their ballots in? Are they are they mailing them in? Are they going to vote on election day? You could say, oh, I know I'm going to support Trump, but it doesn't mean anything unless you cast the ballot. And I think that's the big challenge for conservatives, Republicans to overcome. But for Kamala Harris, the big criticism of her before the debate among undecided voters was that they didn't know enough about her. They didn't know

what her policies were. They didn't know what she stood for. They wanted to hear more specifics. They still don't know. Right. This is someone who's been in the White House for four years. Now, vice presidents are sort of sometimes in the background, but you know, like she's been on, she was a senator. She's been on the national stage for a while and they're saying, we don't know what her values are. We don't know what she's promising us. And she has still continuously failed to deliver specifics and is just kind of expecting everyone to roll with it. Like she gets enough pop stars to say they're voting for her for nonspecific reasons. You will, too. I think that that's not something that will motivate independent voters and she needs them.

All these pop stars coming out and saying they're voting for, you know, Kamala. Who do we have so far? What's the tally? We have Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish. And Chabla Rowland said yesterday that she's going to. Who is it? She's this like upcoming big star. She's got like a big red hair.

She seems super annoying. She's like, I'm so depressed because I'm famous. She got in trouble. There was some pushback because she wasn't willing to speak badly about Republicans. But she was like, I'm going to vote for Kamala Harris. And I think maybe her uncle is in the Missouri legislature as a Republican, which I would love if we could stop condemning everyone all the time. But she does the song Pink Pony Club. That's been really popular.

Good luck, babe. That's very popular on TikTok. She's had a crazy summer. So JoJo didn't endorse, did she? Or she just said Taylor Swift was brave for endorsing Kamala. So listen, we saw the polls. Taylor Swift ain't moving the needle for anybody. Most of these pop stars are targeting a disinterested faction of people.

Like union workers are a big deal, but Teamsters are leaning Trump. So if Kamala is going to look for new voters, what is she going to do? Taylor, quick, help me find voters. She's going to be like, my vote, my fans don't care about politics. No. And when Taylor Swift endorsed her, she was like, she has the right character, but didn't name a specific policy. And this is what the undecided voters are saying.

Kamala Harris, we need specifics. And her campaign is like, get another celebrity in here. Well, the DNC also is really trying to get out the vote among expats to send in their absentee ballots. Oh, I saw that. And in Arizona, the Harris-Walls campaign is, sorry, I've said this a hundred times, but I think it's so funny. They're specifically trying to motivate members of the Church of the Latter-day Saints. They want the Mormon vote, which Mormons are famously conservative and Republicans. Well, Mormons just had a big fundraiser for,

I know because Tommy Stevenson at the Postmillennial covered this. They had a big fundraiser in Utah for Trump, and Trump went out, and it was like a whole big thing. Between 2016 and 2020, he gained 15%. He gained it on almost all religious groups, but Mormons in particular, he gained like 15 percent. It's I mean, like, I don't know why the Harris walls is wasting their time. It's interesting. Indeed.

Well, we do have another celebrity who made a an endorsement of sorts. Macklemore actually apologized. You guys see this one. So there's a big story where Macklemore is a rapper. He said F America. And he regretted that. So then he comes out and says, sometimes I slip up and get caught in the moment. I think this is indicative of this country is fed up with the anti-American sentiment. They're fed up with Democrat policy. They're fed up with a bad economy. And so insulated people like Macklemore, this dude's loaded, right? He's super rich. I'm going to tell you this, Don Lemon,

Macklemore, I guarantee you they don't know how much milk costs. You know why? They don't go to the grocery store. They ask someone to go to the grocery store for them. Or if they do go, then look at the price. They just grab it. Regular people go there and say, okay, which one's going to be cheap? We'll grab this one today. We're going to do skim today. Because you've got a budget. This guy has no idea what's going on. He gets up at an event, and he says straight up, say it.

I'm not going to stop you. The rapper said, yeah, F America. Well, people got really mad at him, so he went on Instagram and said, my thoughts and feelings are not always expressed perfectly. Sometimes I slip up and get caught in the moment. Saturday Night was one of those moments. Here's what I think. I think he saw a major backlash.

This is why all the pop stars, I noticed this. I started looking at their Instagrams. When they endorsed Kamala, they disabled their comments. They sure did, yeah. Because they know what's coming by doing that. Yeah. Yeah, and I think there's also a realization among a lot of people. I think Americans have woken up about a lot of things,

you know, and I think COVID was a big motivator as well. But it just keeps coming. And people are like, I can like your music. I can like your TV show. I don't have to be at all in line with your politics. I don't have to like your politics. And I don't have to hear about your politics. I don't care what they are. And I want you to stop telling me about them. Please sing your nice songs. Make your scary movies. And don't tell me anything else. Like, I don't need what they are, and I want you to stop telling me about them. Please sing your nice songs, make your scary movies, and don't tell me anything else. Like, I don't need to know about it. The idea of the celebrity as all-encompassing cultural and political touchstone, perhaps, is flying out the window. We haven't seen a lot of Susan Sarandon recently.

Remember when she was always out there going nuts? Jane Fonda was out there knocking on doors for Kamala Harris. One woman cried. The Kamala Harris campaign, you know, they publicized that because when white women's tears aren't weaponized, you know, they have to capitalize on them instead. But I think in a lot of ways people just don't need that anymore. You know, they don't want it.

The rapper Pharrell Williams said something very interesting the other day. He basically said, you know, to all the celebrities, just shut up and be quiet because nobody really cares about your opinion. And, you know, in the 90s to early 2000s, celebrity was like a cult. And now people are kind of getting sick

of these multimillionaires preaching about climate change. You know, like Prince Harry, they're on a private jet. You know, Taylor Swift as well said some comments about the environment. Yet she's, I think, the number one celebrity that uses the private jet the most. And it's like she uses it to go to the bodega.

And they're so, so out of touch. And, you know, when you've got a very bad economy, the prices are up, gas prices, people are struggling right now. And then you have someone saying, you know, F America. I mean, you know, it's just what are you thinking? His crowd, it was a pro-Palestinian event. So they were all cheering because a lot of them have anti-american sentiment but i think he's only apologized because he uh lost out on a performance the neon carnival in las vegas uh which is neon festival which is a big deal and i think he would have probably had pressure from other events that would have

told his management look if he doesn't issue a statement you're going to lose some gigs and i and i think these celebrities a lot of them are very selfish. They're lost in their own world. They've got an ego. He's got a history of being very kind of anti-Western capitalism. He's very, very woke, very progressive. Very anti-Semitic as well. He dressed up once in a caricature of a Jewish person on stage.

No, he's got a history of having all these kind of woke ideas. And I think, you know, I don't think he would apologize from from the heart i think he's had pressure after being cancelled from the last last vegas event because he's definitely not as big as he was i mean he had this meteoric rise at one point uh but what i actually remember was macklemore uh he used to have you know the shaved sides and longer head and then people were like that's longer hair on top uh whatever you know and conehead and he said someone he got up a lot of flack. Years after he got famous, they were like, that's a fascist haircut. And he apologized and said he would change his hairstyle.

He apologized for his old fascist haircut? I think some of the anti-celeb stuff, too, started in COVID. Remember when everybody. There was Sam Smith crying in his house about COVID lockdowns. And everyone's like, you live in a a like eight bedroom house with a tennis court celebrities who did their zoom call rendition of imagine and they were like just stay home i'm staying home here in my palace in the hollywood hills and we're all just sitting there like curtis lewa in our apartment with 20 cats being like what the hell i'm stuck here y'all are dancing in Times Square and holed up in Hollywood

Hills and like, come on everybody you're awful. That was a sample of what they want the future to look like forever. Yeah. They want a surf class and then they want to do whatever they want case in point when they all fly on their private jets to their climate change summits. Or Kim Kardashian who recently I think flew to France

to get a specific pastry. Well, hey man, I mean, what kind of pastry was it? It looked like a really good pastry, which reminds me, like, I bought this special butter. I'm going to try and learn how to make croissants. She's like the bad guy in Iron Man, where he's, like, in the airport, and he's, like, eating the— he's like, I got this imported from Italy for breakfast.

I eat my dessert first. This is—we caricaturize these people for being villainous by doing these things. That was in that was in. Was it was it Basquiat with Andy Warhol? And was it some it was not Basquiat, some movie with Andy Warhol character in it and Basquiat. And Basquiat's like, Andy, can I get this caviar? And Andy's like, oh, sure. Otherwise, you'd have to go to Russia.

I remember the the blowback from Kylie Jenner. Her very small daughter, you know, maybe two or three years old, was carrying a very small Birkin bag. And Birkin bags are extremely exclusive and luxury. And people respond to it. I remember one comment was like, this child is walking around with my entire salary on its arm. I mean, I think there is a level of like, if you make the money, you can spend it how you want to. On the other hand, you're not necessarily endearing yourselves to people. And you can't just go buy one either. You can't always just pretend it's like aspirational, right? Like people start to say like, you live in a life that's completely separate from mine. So when you're Taylor Swift and you endorse Kamala Harris, despite the capital gains tax, like

you obviously have so much money that it doesn't matter whereas the economic policies of the president does impact average Americans every day. Yeah, I think the worst thing about these elites, especially Democrats, they've isolated themselves. They have no idea what's going on. And then they tell the people

who are suffering that they're wrong. Like that Don Lemon, you know, Atlantic City thing he did. The guy's like, I'm voting for Trump because I can't afford groceries. And he's like, actually, the economy is really good. Like, dude, you're like, ask me my opinion. Like, what are you? But it's that family guy joke where Peter's in the elevator with one other guy. Peter farts and then says it was you.

Like, dude, you're not convincing anybody. Like, I have to go to the grocery store and buy groceries. What are you talking about? Can you just say that? I keep being surprised at my grocery bill when I get to the end of the self-checkout where I do the job for the cashier that the grocery store has fired

so that I can do the job instead as though I don't have some other job. And then it keeps going, please place the item back in the... It makes me crazy. I just want to kill everyone. Yeah, I just stand there and it goes, help is on the way. But it's not because there's no one there. It's not on the way.

It's not on the way. I hate that so much. But anyway, and then you get to the end and it's like you're being robbed. It's like the little self-checkout machine. May as well pull out a gun and be like, now give me your entire debit card. Yeah. The whole thing. I feel like every time I go, I'm like, okay, I'll like, I think it's about this much. It's always higher. I'm never. Wait, I was the other day, I thought I was spending $60

and it was 150. And I was like, how did this happen? We have to buy, we buy all the snacks and all the groceries for the warehouse. I think I just ordered some jerky. And so considering, I think the number is we probably have, I don't know, 15 to 20 people coming and going and doing various things. Not every day. There's 30 to 40 people who, but some are remote. I think for one month of just like snacks, you know, jerky drinks. And I'm not talking about the craziest, most expensive stuff. We've got Cheez-Its in the other room, right? I love Cheez-Its. I think it's like $3,000. Wow. That's a lot.

For a month? Yeah. For a month of just like, yeah, it's crazy. I guess I'm not really providing a good context as to what it's relative to, but we've got Goldfish, Cheez-Its. I don't touch that garbage. You just buy it for everyone else you guys eat this they love it i mean look who am i you know i'll i'll try and

convince people to not eat the garbage but they want the garbage so but uh you don't just buy a bunch of bananas some apple chips the bananas go bad so quick really people don't eat them not fast enough we go through so many oh come on like if i if i get a bunch of like elk jerky or meat sticks those things will be gone in a day. If I get bananas, they'll just rot. That's terrible. This is what America is, man. This is like at my house, and my son will be like, what do we have for a snack?

And I'll be like, there's bananas. There's yogurt. There's fig bars, you know. It's like, this is not it, mom. There's some dried apricots. This is not it. I mean, I guess you want. There's leftover dinner.

That's a snack. Yeah mean, I guess you want. There's leftover dinner. That's a snack. Yeah. But it gets hefty. I guess I can say it relative to this because a couple years ago, we always bought the little salami packs, and they were $7. Now they're $15. Yeah. That makes sense. Those are expensive, yeah. I'm happy to see that people like Macklemore and Taylor Swift and Hayley Williams and JoJo and whoever else can sit on their high horses and have no idea what's going on in the real world and endorse someone who's going to burn it all down around us and who supported people who literally did.

A really good example of this is that guy, famous moment, and we loved it. He was tweeting during the George Floyd riots from Beverly Hills saying, you guys remember this one? I think it was with ESPN or something. He was like, yeah, get it, burn it down, let's go. Then like 20 minutes later, he's like, wait, why are they coming towards here? Don't go here, go downtown. And then an hour later, he's like, get out of my property.

They're coming in, they're jumping the walls. It's like, well, you know, welcome to the real world, buddy. Yeah, go team up with the McCloskeys. Yeah. Yeah. Man, that's wild. Shall we jump to the next story? We got this one from the Postmillennial because everything's from the McCloskeys. Yeah. Yeah. Man, that's wild. Shall we jump to the next story? We got this one from the Postmillennial because everything's from the Postmillennial.

Toyota promotes DEI, supports child sex changes, divides employees by race and gender. Toyota seems to have forgotten who their core customers are. Well, don't buy from them. Buy a Tesla. Yeah, this is Robbie Starbucks strikes again. He's killing it out there. I was going to say, it's actually really funny. If you want to be anti-woke, you got to buy the electric car.

Elon Musk is calling all of this stuff out every day, and he's selling electric cars, and Toyota is selling the gas guzzlers, and they're woke as a joke. Remember when Elon Musk didn't get invited to the electric vehicle summit at the White House? Yes, he lost it. Part of that was because, I mean, that's the Biden-Harris administration being under pressure from the UAW because Tesla is a non-union shop.

That's interesting. I just assumed it's because they hate Elon. They hate Elon, but the reason they can't give Tesla any credit is because Tesla is non-union. And so they need that union support across the board. And because, I mean, sympathy strikes are illegal because of the Taft-Hartley Act, but certainly boycotting a political campaign with your donations is not illegal. Let's play this video from Robbie here. Robbie's been doing great work calling out these companies. He's basically turned

cancel culture back on them. All right, y'all, it's that time again. It is time to expose Toyota. They have gone totally woke. You are not going to believe what is under the hood of this story. So strap in because it is insane. If you're even slightly moderate, you are going to be questioning if you should ever give this company a dime in the future. So that's a 13 minute video. So we'll just we'll just read it. Toyota has the latest come under fire for DEI. Robbie Starbuck, a conservative activist and filmmaker released a report on the matter Thursday saying it's time to remind them who their customers are after investigating. The findings reveal that diversity and inclusion is the framework of the company.

Toyota, which has a hundred percent commitment to DEI policies, gives preferential treatment to diverse suppliers and has employee resource groups that divide workers based on race and sexual orientation. Okay, that's just like the weirdest thing. That is weird. Imagine working for a company and they're like, okay, and we're going to do shifts now. Who's gay? Like, do I have to tell you?

Like, well, if you want the good hours, you better speak up now, right? Well, this is the thing too that is prevalent, not just in all of the industries that Robbie Starbuck has been exposing. But when I used to work in New York with some architects, there were, you would put in your proposal for public projects and there were lots and lots of quotas. There weren't sexual orientation quotas at that time, but there were lots of quotas that you had to meet in order to just submit your proposal in terms of the, you know, makeup of your team. And there was like you had to like have this many, you know, this this proportion of black owned firms, this proportion of women owned firms or whatever it was. You had to make up what was it called the MWBE requirement, minority or women owned businesses. And there was essentially one black owned engineering firm firm in, I think it was in New

Jersey. And that firm was on every single team that was getting submitted to the city. And there was only one. There was just the one firm. And also they changed the rules so that if you were Asian or South Asian, then you no longer counted as a minority. Not diverse enough. You were not diverse enough as an engineering firm because there were just so many South Asian owned engineering firms.

But yeah, I think that would be horrifying. Could you imagine if like, like you were saying, you go into work and you're like, well, you're not the right shade or you don't, you're not attracted to the right people. That's happened to you for work? Yeah. Yeah, I worked at Fusion and they did something called the Black and Brown Forum and they had their top personalities except me

and they brought in a contractor who was a black man and I was just like, I don't know, I'm not going to sit here and go beg, you know, but I had a meeting with the president after it all went, after they did everything, did all the promos and they were filming and And I was like, and then I asked him and I was like, a quick question. Is there, is there a reason why I wasn't involved in that? And they were like, oh, it's the black and brown forum. And I was like, yeah. And, and he's like,

well, you're too white. And I was like, I'm mixed race. Don't you know that? And he was just like, yeah, but you look white. You can't ask Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders questions because you look too white. That's what I was told. Not that you are. It is great that you are mixed. That is diversity, right? But you look too white. Because of the...

Well, because they judge books by covers, as the saying goes. Yeah, I mean, I probably should have sued, but the company went bankrupt anyway and ceased to exist. Well, good. That's for the best.

I'm not lying. You know... Oh, go ahead. I was just saying, I. That's for the best. I think. I'm not lying. You know. Oh, go ahead. I was just saying, I feel like the fact the framework of a car company is something other than, I don't know, making cars is sort of strange. Yeah, I think so too. Why would you want to cultivate an environment where it's actually completely obsessed with who in your office is sleeping with who and their race? Doesn't that seem like very backwards?

I thought people were against this kind of behavior. Yeah, and Robbie's had a lot of success recently. So he's been exposing all these woke companies, started with John Deere, and he actually got them to push back a lot of their things. Because, you know, you think of the John Deere customer, it's farmers, rural, conservatives, mostly Republicans. He actually got them to scale back on the DEI policies.

He then exposed Harley Davidson, which again, you don't associate with all this woke nonsense. He actually got them to basically commit to leaving the HRC Corporate Equality Index program, which is basically the thing that all these companies use to promote DEI, woke diversity hiring, pushing all the lgbtqi plus policies so you know there is there has been a lot of success especially with conservatives for the last few years with bud light target i think these companies you know they they do this because they're signed up to this hrc thing and then the moment they get exposed and then they start to see the profits tumble because they're upsetting their core customer base with all their conservative customers that's when they they start to change so he's actually been very effective

with his campaign. And the HRC rating is to me, it's one of these things that is so crazy. It's an effectively progressive institution that started scoring businesses that then they started to take seriously and care about. So then they were able to dictate, here's how you get a good score. Public Square should do that.

We should do it. We should make them up all the time. Alright, Toyota, you get a one. Yeah. It's bad. Maybe a .5 unless you shape up. Very bad number. I mean, it's only credible because people have started to legitimize it. And that's true of a lot of these like progressive-based

institutions that are saying, you know, they're the cleanest or they're the diversest or they're the most... Their opinions don't actually matter and they have an agenda they're pushing. So the second you decide diversest or they're the most well, their opinions don't actually matter and they have an agenda they're pushing. So the second you decide, this is how I'm going to legitimize my company, you're actually taking sides in all of this.

When if you're a tractor company, I really feel like you don't need to. Just make tractors, exactly. Yes, make tractors, make cars, make motors. Make tractors, do well by your employees and your stockholders. But you guys understand what this is, right? The reason why they have a diversity office for all these

companies? This is how they create Chinese communism in the United States. So the Chinese Communist Party is in every single company, and you've got party members who operate in the company and tell people what they're supposed to do, and they're trying to implement that here in the United States, and they're doing it through DEI.

That's why it makes no sense, but it's all ideologically driven. Fall in line, march in lockstep. And this is a it's totalitarian. It's not it's not too dissimilar to how the Nazis operated. And I know it's cliche. People say Godwin's laws, but this does apply. The Nazis, people say, oh, they were socialist. No, they were they were capitalists. You're a liar. They were left wing. Oh, they're right wing. The socialists used fear of being ostracized. And the general idea was if you were a company, you were free to do whatever you wanted. But why aren't you making steel for the war effort? And it means bad things if you're not with the people. So they effectively used cancel culture

style, heavy headed politics to force everyone in line with the things they wanted done. So it wasn't overt socialism like or communism like people expect, but it was very much the will of the people be done or else. So what they're trying to implement now is likened to the Chinese Communist Party. They want everybody to fall in line with their ideological values and they're doing it through economic means. If Toyota can fire you for not abiding by their ideology, they remove you from the economy. You can't buy food anymore. Private sector. It's like it's almost like communism exploiting the private sector so they can figure out ways to punish people for deviating. But this

is why all of these big companies have the same core ideological faction, because the ideological faction wants to remove people from from the market if they violate if they don't go along with their new cult or religion. And so they start injecting it into different companies. Then those companies can fire people and you can punish them. Yeah, it's basically like in China. They have in some cities the social credit, where people are named and shamed and they can't do certain things. They can't, you know, get a job, for instance, if their score is low. And that's what this kind of thing, it's basically like that the HRC score system is basically, you know, if you get a low score, you're a bad company, all your employees are bad and stuff.

It's trying to, like you were saying, vilify these people and make them fall in line. Just with COVID, when you had the craziness of you go into a restaurant, you wear the mask, you take it off and you sit down, then you put it back on. Same with the plane. You're on a plane. Everybody has dinner at the same time. You all take the mask off for 10 minutes, put it back on. It's that trying to get people to fall in line. And if you dare go against that, you are a heretic, you are blasphemous. That's kind of how they try to treat you. Like in the medieval times when you're considered a witch because you might be an outspoken woman, they try to vilify you.

And speak to anyone from a communist country. I think you've probably had Yongmi Park on the show, Z-Band Fleet, who's from China. They will tell you what's happening in America now is exactly what they fled from. Lily Tang Williams, they fled from that. And they are sounding alarm bells now. This is happening right now.

And we need to do something. Have you all watched Three Body Problem yet? No. We talked about it when it first came out, but this is a tremendous cultural victory for those who believe in freedom. It's on Netflix, I believe. It's based on a book and the movie, I'm sorry, the series starts in the culture revolution.

So they actually filmed this huge scene where you watch professors get beaten to death and all the people are cheering with the red books and everything. And it's kind of shocking that you wouldn't expect Netflix or a U.S. institution to be critical of communism right about now when they're doing all this weird stuff. Well, but all of these companies, too, are finding that they are perfectly willing to backtrack, you know. Once the money starts disappearing know once the money starts disappearing the money starts disappearing they could slip it under the which i kind of respect like if you're a shill for one side and then you know that side stops paying out and the other side starts boycotting you and then you're a shill for the other side like at least you're an equal opportunity shill you know i think that yeah i think winning, though. That's a little bit honest.

Do you think any companies are looking at... Like, any of the competitors, these companies, looking at what's happening and saying, we've got to scale back our thing right now?

Yeah, I mean, again, with Robbie's campaigns, you've seen when he exposes these companies like Harley-Davidson after public pressure, after media pressure, they do actually scale back.

You saw it, of course, with Target. They actually completely scaled back their pride collection. They didn't have the tuck-friendly swimwear this year. They stopped putting it right up front. They stopped the kid back. You saw it, of course, with Target. They actually completely scale back their pride collection. They didn't have the tuck-friendly swimwear this year. They stopped putting it right up front. They stopped the kid stuff.

Exactly. So they realize that, you know, when you're shoving it in people's faces, they don't want that. So I think there is a big win the last few years. The satanic accessories. Exactly. Literally satanic. Literally. The designer was, you know, doing these baphomet t-shirts and stuff for kids

so you know i think when the companies care about profit at the end of the day yes they do have the dei yes they have um you know blackrock pushing these dei things on the companies but when they're losing millions of dollars that's when they start to change so i think there is uh you know people are winning this cultural war but they do need to be more outspoken and say look you shouldn't be pushing this as a company just stick to making making cars, stick to making tractors. Nobody cares about your political opinion. Same with celebrities. Nobody cares, you know, you know, your political opinions, just keep it to yourself. You know, why can't you do that? And we've seen quite a few celebrities that haven't endorsed Kamala Harris when they're, we know they're Democrat, like Beyonce's very,

very, of course, Democrat, but some of these celebrities haven't completely endorsed them publicly because they know there's that backlash now. They know, you know, they're turning off their comments. They're getting people actually trying to say, why do you support this person? She's allowing all the illegal immigration or the trans kids, you know.

So I think a lot more people now are less obvious with all of this kind of DEI stuff. Right. I think with celebrities in particular, we can all assume that you're, it was almost more fun when with the conservative celebrities,

you'd be like, I think that one's a Republican. You know, they didn't want to say anything, but you sort of be guessing. Like Adam Sandler, Kelsey Grammer. Right. I'm going to default assume all of you are voting Democrat.

You don't need to tell me. I get it. With companies though, I mean, having this, you know, Toyota, having this car company face the effects, I assume, you know, probably all of them have some level of DEI policy since it's so widespread now. It's kind of infiltrated everything.

With these exposures, does it need to be systematic? Like, do we now need to move on to Nissan and Subaru in the next one? Or is it enough to have Toyota have this effect? Will that encourage the other ones to change? Or do you think they'll just try and hide what they're doing? You know that meme of death knocking on doors? We need that, but it's Robbie Starbuck knocking on doors. And it's the companies that he's actually shared that meme of all the companies that he's been going around.

And he's then saying the next one should definitely be his Halloween costume. Call him out. Should we get serious for a minute, ladies and gentlemen? We're going to get serious. I know it's not the most entertaining of subject matter, but we got serious news that I think is going to be important for people. This is the Category 4 hurricane that is hitting Florida right now. For those that aren't aware, this is serious, and we have a very serious story.

Click Orlando says, Florida residents who choose to ride out, is it Helene? Is that how you say it? Yeah, Helene. Helene, told to write name and information on arm. They're being very nice about it. I believe what the sheriff said was, if you choose to stay behind, please write your name and date of birth on your arm with black markers so we can identify you when you die. That is so terrifying is the yeah right so uh sheriff's deadly warning uh ronda santas has declared a state of emergency ahead of the unprecedented storm it's already flooding

i don't know man this is why i'm always saying uh we got this video from benny johnson we'll pull that one up this is why I'm always telling people to prepare, not because you need to be a prepper who has 30 years worth of beans stored in your basement, but because sometimes it rains. And so this is a video that Benny Johnson posted. He said, this is a road in Tampa. It's already, the storm surge is already flooding.

Look at that. That's wild. Wow. Wow. Not even as crazy as it could be. But I don't know, man. I hope he and his family are safe. Is Benny in Florida? I think he lives in Florida. Everybody's in Florida.

I don't know where people live. They live on the internet, Libby. I thought everybody moved to Florida during COVID. You can't dox anybody. Who knows? So Hurricane Katrina was a Category 3 storm. And they were saying this is going to be a 3, but now they're saying it's going to be a 4. It's already a 4, isn't it? Yeah, that's what I heard.

As of this morning, I was hearing it predicted as a 4, which means this is stronger than Hurricane Katrina. And do you remember how devastating Hurricane Katrina was and how long it took for New Orleans to recover? This is the biggest known storm in the Gulf. That's what I heard. They say since we started. This is worse than Katrina. Katrina was a three. Yeah.

Oh, dear. That's the perspective. I feel like we all have to. That is crazy because Katrina was so bad. So bad. I remember people died and there was like people getting rescued from their roofs. And well, remember the Superdome and everybody. But it was part of the problem with New Orleans

is that it's built underwater. Well, and they had levees break and there was extra flooding. New Orleans has structural problems, but this one is fascinating. When you watch the storm maps come through, I mean, the kind of eye of the storm, the most intent part, when I was looking at it,

the warning went all the way up to Macon, Georgia. I mean, parts of the main part of the storm, I think, are projected to hit Charlotte, North Carolina. We're going to get a hit. That's wild. I mean, with all hurricanes, you get a little bit of, like, you get rainy weather if you're in the North Sea, through it or else, but, like, it's so strong

that, like, this will be severe weather disruptions for most of the East Coast. That's crazy. Yeah, we're in West Virginia, and the reports are that once this passes through, it's going to be serious storms. Wow. Not a hurricane, of course. It's over land.

It's going to start breaking apart, but it's going to be a massive storm surge for several days or something. It is crazy driving around here in torrential rain. It's scary. I've done that. Indeed. Yeah. I drove once with Andy Ngo from New York to D.C. and there was like monsoon style rains.

And it was one of the many instances, there have been a couple where I was like, oh, no, don't let me kill Andy in a car crash. There will be parts of the country where the rain and flooding because of the geographic challenges like dips and valleys and everything else people won't they'll know that florida has to prepare for the hurricane right florida's out of you know you can see all the videos of people like buying up all the water and doing what else like sandbagging their doors like they need to just leave well but then there will be parts of the country where they will probably experience intense flash flooding but because they're not like used to being in the eye

of the hurricane or at least that's severely impacted i bet that they will have car accidents where they are like well we all gotta get on the road now and then they're in this monsoon style weather i mean i think weather preparedness is number one very you know i think what they were all hoping was that this storm would die off right that it would it would weaken over and it just got stronger and stronger it was heading west and then i remember seeing people be like, please don't turn east. And then the hurricane went right up the other way. The hurricane said, what did you say? Take a look at this video.

It speaks for itself. That's hilarious. So for those that are just listening, it is a, looks like a John boat or something. It's got a motor, a Trump flag, and they are riding their boat down the street. I must, I will add, the wrong way down a one way. Yeah. Not that I think it matters. Hurricane season in Florida, laws don't matter.

That's not true. I'm just kidding. Well, perhaps the traffic laws are irrelevant anyway. Like you have this regulated as a road, but it is clearly a river. I mean, I feel like they're lucky that it's a... Whoa, look at this. Holy crap. Why is he driving in that? Yeah, you can't drive... This is part of, like, flash flooding, right?

Like, they don't realize how fast the water's going to... Or you don't... Well, you can't really tell when you're driving on a road if it's going downhill or not. Right. And so you're looking down this path, and you might not realize it's actually a 10 downhill or not. Right. And so you're looking down this path and you might not realize it's actually a 10-foot slope. Right. So you drive down and before you realize

it, you're underwater. Look at this, man. This is crazy. We don't need that wind noise. It's a sheriff vehicle driving in massive flooding. You know, they're lucky, though, they got Ron DeSantis. I was thinking that, too. I was thinking that too. I was thinking like it's

good that he's still the governor and not out there on the campaign trail. Not just that, but I mean, could you imagine if he wasn't the governor and you had a bad governor, what would Biden, like Biden's not going to say anything. He's not going to do anything. No, he never does anything. He wouldn't even know there was a hurricane. He probably doesn't know

there's a hurricane. And Kamala's like, I'm running for office. If it doesn't hit Rehoboth, he has no idea. I think, regardless, he wouldn't have any idea because his brain does not work. No, his brain doesn't. He would just be sitting there going, oh, Secretary of Defense, what's going on? It's windy. It's windy. I'm an old man.

And Kamala Harris. Close the umbrella. Kamala wouldn't be doing anything. So, you know, here's an opportunity to see. I'm curious what Trump might do in response to this campaign wise. You think he might show up with supplies? Remember when he was throwing the paper towels to people in Puerto Rico? Oh, yeah.

And I don't understand why the left got so mad about that. The left gets mad about everything he does. They just hate him. I mean, he could do anything and they get mad about it. It doesn't matter what he does. He was throwing out paper towels. I mean, if he personally went out and aborted babies, they'd be mad. And they love abortion.

No, they'd flip on abortion in two seconds. They would flip. They'd be like, Trump is aborting baby. He's such a murderer. Yesterday we loved abortion. Remember the Babylon Bee when they said ingenious move, Trump comes out in support of impeachment, forcing Democrats to oppose? Yeah. That's the game. Exactly, the whole thing. Yeah, they hate him

and they don't care what he does or what he says. And that's sort of, I think, what's so what makes it so much easier for people I think to support Trump this time around openly. There's openly, what is it like 41? No, I think it's 41 40 39 today is it 39 i could

double 41 i think but people are not shy about supporting trump anymore they tell cnn they're supporting trump they tell anybody they're like what i support trump you guys have been lying this whole time everything you say is totally made up 39 three hours 38 minutes and then of course okay because it's late today you've got people you wouldn't expect, like Mark Zuckerberg. Basically, he did a call with Trump after the assassination to make sure he was OK. And, you know, normally, you know, four, five years ago, you wouldn't have that because they'd be worried about the backlash. But now it's become very cool to support Trump and to be open about it. You even had Davos earlier this year.

J.P. Morgan, CEO, actually was praising Trump's how the economy was. So you have people that wouldn't have spoken out maybe in 2016, because it was bad to be pro Trump. Now they're actually thinking, you know what, he's the only one, he's probably going to win, you know, we need to get behind him. Wasn't it Jamie Dimon just recently saying that Kamala Harris's policies were not good? Yeah, and there's been quite a few hedge fund managers that have basically said that there was one that said he'd sell off all of his assets if she's elected. Oh, that's scary. Has anyone actually just stopped and thought for a moment?

Like, we speculate, but what do you think is actually going to look like if Trump wins? If Trump wins? Like, what's the first thing he does? Who's he bringing in? I think the first thing he does is try and deal with the Ukraine, Russia war and make that stop because he keeps saying that that's what he would do. I wonder. You don't think so? No, no, no, no. I'm not saying no. I'm just saying like he's got all these criminal like the DOJ stuff, the state level stuff in Georgia and New York. Democrats are going to start foaming at the mouth and banging their heads on the walls.

They're going to try and imprison him in New York, whether he wins or not. Right. They are trying to imprison him in New York. Yeah. I mean, but the sentencing is what, after the election at this point. Yeah. It's going to be a while with RFK Jr., Tulsi Gabbard. I mean.

Do you think they'll be like in the cabinet? Yes. Yeah. I love that. Yeah. I love that. Yeah. I kind of I really would love to see RFK Jr. whip our health system into place, especially where he keeps talking about nutrition and the chemicals in the body and all of that stuff.

I mean, it's so disgusting to go to the grocery store and look at the ingredients and be like, I can't eat that. I don't even have any idea what that is. And to know that other countries have this. Don't have that. Don't have it. They don't have it. That have any idea what that is and to know that other countries have this don't have that don't have it they don't have that's what bothers me like yes well i've never like been more fascinated by bernie sanders i don't know if you guys saw this but he uh the the um the ceo of uh nova nordis the maker of uh wagovi and ozempic was on uh was testifying for a senate committee this week and bernie sanders is pointing out like ozempic in amer was testifying for a Senate committee this week. And Bernie Sanders is pointing out like Ozempic in America is over nine hundred dollars.

But in Germany, it's like seventy two. In the UK, it's less than two hundred. I mean, it you know, and these these I mean, obviously celebrities is up to lose weight and they are marketed at times as an anti-obesity medicine. But they're also for people with diabetes. I mean, these are very serious drugs that could help people with chronic conditions. Why is it that we have to pay not just like twice as much, but like 15 times as much as some countries? And I feel similarly about the food ingredients. I mean, why is it that we can't just say, no, we don't want these things in it. You already make it this way for somebody else.

Yeah. Just as a British person, I'll say that you have the same products here, but taste completely different. So for instance, Cadbury's chocolate, I can't even eat that here because the sugar is just so sweet. And in the UK, it tastes much, much nicer. Much better than the UK. Much better. And then also Lay's crisps, Lay's chips.

In the UK, we have Walker's, which is the same company, but completely different taste. Here, it just tastes like salt. So there's a huge difference extra salty they're a lot more strict in the uk and also the eu with uh ingredients there's a lot of things they don't allow additives and chemicals and you know e-number ingredients whereas in the u.s they have of course all the cornstarch is completely different what they do here is uh you know rfk you had a really great video on this there's something called tartrazine what's that do you want to eat it? No. Probably not.

It's yellow dye 5. Do you remember, were you guys, you guys don't remember this, but when I was a kid they took away the red M&M's. Yeah, because wasn't it red dye 5 or something like that? Red dye number 5. Was it 5? So I was allergic to that and I remember when I was a kid I had crunch berries and I busted out in hives

and then they were like, we did the allergy test and they were like, it's the red dye. Don't eat it. But the messed up thing is that they take words like, what's the word? Let me Google it. They'll change the words and create brands so that you're okay with eating it. Oh, because then the chemical is a brand name? Not so much a brand name, but they can create a new name for it.

Right? So there's something called a cheddar powder. Do you know what a cheddar powder is? Isn't that crickets? It's crickets. No way. And so there'll be chips, and it'll say cheddar cheese, cornstarch, a cheddar. And then you're just like, I don't know.

They put crickets in some chips? Yep. Wow. They want you to eat the bugs, Ollie. I'll swap. And they don't call it cricket. They call it a cheddar. And crickets taste bad.

Sorry, they don't taste good. I know because I tried them. You tried them? I don't mind eating bugs. Lobsters are bugs. They're big bugs. They taste great. Number of bugs, I guess.

They taste pretty good. Roly-Polys are in the same family as lobsters, aren't they? I'm not going to eat bugs if I don't want to eat it. Lobsters are bugs. They're big bugs. They taste great. Yeah. They're bugs, I guess. Yeah. They taste pretty good. Roly-Polys are in the same family as lobsters, aren't they? I'm not going to eat bugs if I don't have to. I'll eat lobster because it's delicious. But the issue is that they're tricking people into doing these things. So they know if they put on the food label tartrazine and, like, parasite powder, like, red dye is derived from some insect that they pulverize into a dust and then put in. Oh, it's probably those little tiny red bugs.

You know those little tiny red bugs? Little tiny, they're like little dark red bugs. No, no, no, it's not those. What is red dye made of? A cockaniel insect. Gross. Like a cockroach? Let's, let me.

C-O-C-H-I-N-E-A-L. Here we go. This is what you're eating when you're eating red dye. This is what you are eating. They take these little bugs and they mush them. See? They mush them. These little red bugs.

So they're putting that in like chips and things like that and snacks? Yeah. Candy isn't vegetarian when they're. When you drink fruit punch, when you're eating little candies and fruit snacks, this is what you're eating. Wow. It doesn't need to be colored that way. They do it so it looks-

And it's nuts. I don't want that garbage. I don't want to eat it. No, I don't want any of that. So I'm staying away from all that stuff. One of my sisters would take, when she was really small, that we'd give our children Benadryl,

and it would make her more hyper, and her pediatrician was like, oh yeah, this is a reaction to red dye. That's sometimes in Benadryl and it would make her more hyper and her pediatrician's like, oh yeah, this is a reaction to red dye that's sometimes in Benadryl. And I've noticed now, this was a long time ago. Why do they put red dye to make you hyper in Benadryl?

It's not supposed to. Just like a certain percentage of kids have this reaction. So I remember like, it was just difficult to find the dye free, but now the dye free is everywhere. I think because people are more aware that like, just because they say it tastes like berries, everyone knows it's medicine. It's obviously not berries.

We don't need to dye it red and potentially put something additional into your body separate from someone like my sister who has a reaction to it. We got to stop eating garbage, guys. Yeah, I'm all on board with that. But it's weird because I am kind of advocating for more government regulation, which I would normally be against. But in this case, like how what is happening where Americans are somehow just getting the worst products and have no way to demand? Well, we have no way to Yeah, like, like how much of the meat comes with antibiotics in it? Right? Like if you want to buy meat, that's just like, you know, free range without all these drugs in it without pesticides pesticides. It costs way more and it's really hard to find. You know, that's like a real, that's a real issue.

The stuff with the, you know, there's GMO or whatever in our vegetables. We don't even know what's in them. We don't know what's in the food that is grown, that we buy fresh. Okay. I just got to say this, right? You don't want to eat a cheddar, do you? Crickets, no. No, but you'll eat these. You'll eat cacanial insects.

I don't really eat a lot of candy, so. It's not even, it's in soda. It's in everything. I don't drink soda. Vitamins? It's in anything with red dye. I think we should try and find one of these things that I actually eat, because so far we have not landed on. What do you normally eat? Please, you make a lot of your food from home, like at home.

Yeah. I think the problem is for Americans who have to like depend on pre-packaged foods. Even when I make like frosting, even when I make like buttercream icing, I use actual strawberries to make it. But if you're someone who's like on the road a lot. Did you know that? Like if you make strawberry, it comes out white. Of course. That makes sense.

But like if you're someone who is on the road all the time, you are dependent on having prepackaged foods. Oh, for sure. It's not easy. And I do travel a lot and it's hard to like get decent food. So I'm always like going to the grocery store and being like here is some yogurt. Here is some bananas. Because you can't just like rely on food sources. No, and it is hard when you travel to get like fresh veggies and stuff, you know, or you can't just like rely on food sources to buy crazy stuff. No, and it is hard when you travel

to get like fresh veggies and stuff, you know, or any kind of fresh food. If you go to a restaurant, it's even hard to just get fresh food. I bet that. Oh, don't tell me.

I'm actually vegetarian. No, no, no. That was good. The Yerba. Oh, no. I hope there's not. Okay, so what are we looking for? Red.

Yeah, what is it? Yerba's probably got a dye in it. I don't think. That's a hippie drink. Yerba Mate. I wonder if there's dye in orange juice. Is it empty? Have a look, yeah.

It doesn't say any red dye. It's not just that. Let's see. This is Yerba. Purified water, organic cane sugar, organic Yerba Mate extract, organic yumberry juice concentrate. What is yumberry juice? I have no idea. That doesn't sound... Organic brewed Yerba What is yum berry juice? I have no idea. That better be a real berry.

That doesn't sound. Organic brewed yurumate and hibiscus flower. Let's see. And citric acid, raspberry blackberry natural flavor, and organic caffeine. Yum berry is a real thing? Native to you? It's not so bad. It's a bayberry.

Chinese strawberry. It's actually pretty good. There's nothing in here that I would be like, what is that? No bugs, thank God. That's a bayberry. Chinese strawberry. It's actually pretty good. There's nothing in here that I would be like, what is that? No bugs, thank God. So we can make and mass produce these things. Somehow our system is just not demanding that it's standard. Why? Okay, so I got a spin drift right here.

Okay, these things are hugely popular. Everybody's starting to buy them. It's ingredients, carbonated water, grapefruit juice, orange juice, lemon juice, hibiscus. I know what all of those things are. There's only a few ingredients. And I want all of those things in my body. I love hibiscus. You ever eat one?

They taste great. They put them on your plate and you can eat them? Yeah, I like hibiscus. Why do they need to add three, four, five tablespoons of sugar to this to give to children? Why can't you just drink this? Seems better. Yeah. But yeah, I don't buy that. Which is unhealthy.

I don't buy that stuff. I don't put it in my house. Do you give your kid Brussels sprouts and spinach? Well, for dinner tonight, what do you have? Chicken, potatoes, and broccoli? That's based. Well, it's a normal dinner. It's just like very basic dinner.

Have you seen those viral videos where the morbidly obese women are like, here's my kid's dinner? Oh, yeah. And they take like the poor McDonald's french fries in a bowl. And then they'll open a thing of McDonald's nuggets. Then they'll pour tomato sauce and cheese on top. And then they give it to their morbidly obese seven-year-old fat girl daughter who's like just shoveling in her mouth. That's awful.

Yeah. It's nasty. And they got those mukbang videos or whatever they're called. That's creepy. Yeah, dude. Those are very creepy. Humans are weird, man. I don't know.

Should we ban all that stuff and just be like, nah, get out of here? Do you think any of it is our cultural attitudes toward food? I think in America there's a big, like, food is convenient and you just want to get it over with quickly and you don't want to have to put a lot of effort to it. Whereas, like, let me grow up in an Italian family. No, my stepmom was a cook. My mom can't cook. Okay. I was going to say, like let me grow up in an italian family no my stepmom my stepmom was a cook my mom can't okay i was gonna say like some cultures my stepmom was like a great cook and she always made like a proper dinner yeah and then it was funny because my brother my brother uh grew up with my mom and my mom as i said she can't cook and it's like a point of pride she's one of

those feminists from the generation where she's like i'm career oriented i can't cook you know like that's part that was like part of the thing. And so my brother came over my house one time when he was like, he was like 12 or maybe 14, something like that. And he came to visit me and I made a proper dinner and he goes, Oh, to be a nutritious dinner, it needs at least three colors. And I was like, yes, you you need three colors and then your dinner is fine three colors will do it i think a lot of it does have to do with whether it's like cultural like because of your heritage or because of just your nuclear family's attitude towards food like if you are in a family that is sort of burdened by eating they're like we're just gonna eat out

or we're gonna buy pre-packaged stuff it's much easier to become dependent on the super processed stuff and therefore it becomes very difficult to break away and be like, well, I'm going to prioritize it, you know? Yeah. And in some cases, well, you know, you've got families that maybe don't have much money every month. It's sometimes cheaper to get fast food, you know, go to McDonald's or Burger King. Whereas if you're going to like a Whole Foods, you're buying organic vegetables, it is actually very expensive. So for some families, it's a lot cheaper to get these microwave meals that are super unhealthy, but they're actually, I mean, if you actually start planning out your meals, it's way cheaper to just buy fresh food. You know what I mean? Like you don't have to buy, if you don't buy all the organic stuff, if you buy like, you know,

a bunch of, bunch of broccoli and you can do so much with like, if you buy a head of broccoli, don't just buy the crown, buy the whole thing. And then you can use all of it. You can use the stem in soup. You gotta use every part of the broccoli. Yeah, the broccoli is good. Say a little prayer for it after it goes. Yeah, I like broccoli.

All right, everybody. Make a lot of broccoli. We are gonna go to Super Chats.

So if you support us in these endeavors, then please consider becoming a member of TimCast.com. And as an aside,

most of you probably won't care about this one, but we are suing the state of West Virginia to legalize poker. They have a law that states you cannot put wagers down on games on card games and you can't host card games. The only problem is every other card game except poker is legal for cash wagering and tournaments or otherwise. So it is inequality under the law. I don't know, 14th Amendment argument. So we're going to sue them over that. And this could have greater repercussions on the country as a whole. If the if we actually do get a suit going about the state of social poker and not table game poker casinos, I'm talking about social poker with you and your friends. If it does end up getting appealed and going federal, which I don't know that it would, but who knows? Perhaps it could be that social poker is legal

nationwide and clubs can open up and people can choose to do that. Maybe you don't like that idea. I don't know. The point is there's a big difference between playing blackjack and table games poker and playing poker with your friends for 20 bucks where you choose how you want to play and you want to watch a game. And they made that all illegal. Yet they have other card games. Basically, literally every other card game is illegal. So we're suing over that too. That'll be coming soon.

That's pretty wild. Yeah. Yeah. So we'll be suing the state because they allow children to gamble with Pokemon cards and Yu-Gi-Oh and Magic the Gathering, but they don't allow adults to play a game of poker, which is insane. Even just like penny poker? Nope. Illegal. Playing. Okay. So in the state of West Virginia, if I buy a pack of playing cards from the grocery store and we play Crazy Eights, illegal. So, but what are you supposed to do with your pack of cards? So the argument is, well, culturally we've evolved. They should enforce it. In West Virginia, cohabitation is illegal. If you're a man and there is a woman

and you are roommates, crime in West Virginia. Interesting. They just don't enforce those laws. So the problem now is the lottery commission is making bank off controlling poker rooms because they get taxes from it. The casinos get the rake. The rake is a portion of every pot goes to the casino. There's also something called time rake. The rake is a portion of every pot goes to the casino. There's also something called time rake where you pay every half an hour, every hour, seven bucks, something like that. And, well, it depends on the game you're playing. The state wants to make money off it. So they don't like the idea, or I should say the lottery commission likes the idea that they can control it even though they won't enforce the law in any other capacity.

So I'm just like, okay, dude, you better start enforcing anti-cohabitation or whatever, because otherwise we're going to start, I'm not going to sue them over that. That's ridiculous. But the idea that they would ban only one game that they're seeking to profit off of and let all the other games do whatever they want, I think that's ridiculous. Anyway, Scooby Dragon says, howdy, people. Howdy, Scoob. All right, what do we got? Matthew Holloway says, hey, howdy, people. Howdy, Scoob. All right. What do we got? Matthew Holloway says, hey, Tim, big fan. I was able to convert one of my co-workers from a non

voter to a Trump voter by showing him the no tax on overtime policy. Plus one in Maine. LFG, give up the good work. Appreciate it. That's how we do it. All right. The Emperor's Champion says, apparently, there's some new study that proves fluoride in the water harms kids' development. I think AP had the story. This has been a fact for a long time. Fluoride causes fluorosis of the teeth in children, which inhibits you get your adult teeth, a little bit of fluoride can help, you know, kill the bacteria and everything. Right. It's a, it's toxic, you know, and you spit it out. I don't understand why they're putting it in our drinking water. That seems like a bit much. Very weird. It is in our drinking water. Especially since dentists, when you're a kid, dentists like prescribe all these fluoride treatments anyway. I remember, uh, I had a friend, his sister had a baby and she went to the grocery

store and came back and she put a bunch of nursery water on the counter. And it's a gallon of water and it's got a picture of a baby on it. And it says with added fluoride in a rainbow. And I was like, why are you giving that to the baby? And she's like, it's nursery water. And I was like, it's got extra fluoride in it. And she's like, yeah, it's because babies need it. And I was like, no, they don't. And then. And she's like, yeah, it's because babies need it. And I was like, no, they don't. And then she was like, oh, please. Like, I went to the grocery store to get nursery water. You don't know what you're talking about.

So I went to my friend's computer and I Google searched fluoride babies. Warnings. Every single thing. Do not give your baby fluoride. And I was like, would you like to just read these things? Because maybe I'm wrong. And then she read them and she was like, what the? Why? You go to the grocery store and they have baby water. It's'm wrong. And then she read them and she was like, what the? Why?

You go to the grocery store and they have baby water, nursery water, and it's got extra fluoride added to it. That's so weird. It causes brain damage. I never saw that. Yeah. Let me see if I can pull it up. You're going to Google it and it's like nursery water recall, too much fluoride.

I think there was a time when the government basically like parents can't take care of their kids. So we've got to slip in what we think are going to do that. Vitamins or whatever. Like they do in education. Parents can't take care of their kids. So we better tell them they're trans. They're not going to make sure their kids brush their teeth. So we'll add fluoride to the water, I guess.

So I'm going to preface this by saying I am not a doctor and everything I'm saying is probably wrong. So consult a doctor because I don't actually know anything about this. What I can tell you is here is a gallon that I Google searched of nursery purified water with added fluoride. And there's a picture of a baby on it. Look, I'm a crazy crackpot. Everything I said was wrong. Fluoride water is great. It's a great product.

Talk to your doctor about what's right for you. Tonight's IRL brought to you by Big Fluoride. Yeah. Nursery water. That is so weird. See, to me, that's just like when you're having a baby, they start being like, and this is special for baby. You know what I mean? It's special poison for your baby.

You could just buy distilled water, yes? Special poison water. The company also sells water without the fluoride in it. That's crazy. But why would it be called nursery? They have two, one with fluoride and one without. Why are they, I don't understand, what is their argument on their website?

They add fluoride to it. Fluoride on your child. All right, here we go. Let's see what they have to say. Unclear about the benefits of drinking water with added fluoride, the American Dental Association supports the Department of Health and Human Services recommendation to set the optimal level of fluoridated water at 0.7 parts per million.

Nursery water contains a fluoride level of up to 0.7. For those that may be concerned about fluoride levels, nursery also provides a drinking water without added fluoride. Ask your doctor. Babies don't have teeth. Why? And this way they never will. No, no, hold on there a minute.

Their website says the Dental Association supports flooding the water. It doesn't actually explain why they're doing it, and babies don't have teeth. Right. But they don't have to explain, Tim, because they have appealed to the experts, and we need to trust the experts. Trust the experts. Okay, you know what? I'm going to trust the expert.

I'm going to ask that dangle robot, why is there chloride in baby water? Trust the experts. Trust the robots. Eat the bugs. Go home. Never come out again. I swear to God.

It says fluoride is added to baby water to prevent tooth decay. I'm not kidding. It literally says this. This is wild. It strengthens enamel and making it more resistant to cavities, but it's important to use fluoride in moderation. Babies don't have teeth. I mean, the babies they're showing, it's like, well, they're going to have teeth in a year or two.

Is that the point? They start getting teeth at like what? I don't know, but dentists give you fluoride treatments. I know because my dad was obsessed. That's different. Right. And that's what I'm saying. When you have full teeth. That's different. Right. And that's what I'm saying. When you have full teeth.

That's all you need. Like you don't need fluoride in your water when you're a baby because eventually like go to the dentist and you'll get. I mean, I think that was part of it too. Like maybe fluoride in the water was America's answer to not having socialized dentistry. Is the UK obsessed with fluoride? I think they put it in the tap water. Yeah. But people don't really think about it so much but

you know it's because they add things to everything don't they so people don't don't think but i don't think it's i've never heard of the the nursery water though i haven't seen that on the stores so i guess well i'm not i'm not a doctor no but in the uk i'm completely wrong i've not seen that specifically so i guess it's an america thing you know marketing to well look i i i'm gonna say it again i'm not a doctor. I am completely wrong about all of this. You guys should actually consult a doctor. I mean that seriously. I'll be a little bit silly, but actually talk to a doctor.

Chad GPT says, some studies have suggested a potential link between high levels of fluoride exposure and lower IQ in children. However, these studies generally focus on areas with much higher fluoride concentrations than those typically found in drinking water in places like the U.S., where levels are regulated. The overall consensus in the scientific and medical communities is that when fluoride concentrations than those typically found in drinking water in places like the U.S., where levels are regulated. The overall consensus in the scientific and medical communities is that when fluoride is used at recommended levels,

it is safe and effective for preventing tooth decay without significant risk to IQ or other developmental issues. Then why do I have to drink it? I can put it in my toothpaste. I got no problem with that. I will brush my teeth, and then I will spit out the toothpaste. Yes, that is a better scenario. But hey, like I said, I'm just some crazy guy and you better talk to a doctor because what do i know huh all right hard case says logan sport indiana my hometown of 20 000 people thousands of haitians have been coming in running two brothels stealing bikes

But they ain't getting it. Not the way it used to be. Alright.

wow and bitcoin is up is bitcoin up let's take a look at our good friend Bitcoin and see what Bitcoin's doing. Mr. Bitcoin, where are you currently at? Bitcoin is at 63,000. Indeed. That is very good news for all the Bitcoin people. Brian Griffith says, you guys keep referencing internal polls being horrible. Why would internal polls be different than public polls? I don't understand the difference.

Public polls are news organizations that are trying to figure things out. Internal polls are the actual political consultant, multi-billion dollar corporations trying to win. So they genuinely, like they believe they're doing it the right way. A lot of polls in the public sphere are for influence operations as well. Company like Republicans might hire a company to do a poll where the pollster is going to make a poll that shows Republicans winning so they can then say, look at our poll showing that we're winning because they want people to believe they're going to win. There was a one there

was several studies and I think a while ago that that people will vote for whoever they think is going to win. If you show someone like here's two candidates and here's their polls, people tend to just go like, yeah, I'll vote for the guy who's winning because people want to fit in. That's one reason that they do it. That one gamer says young voters don't like the current admin, including the VP. I paid $995 today for my car insurance. We're suffering out here. Policy first. Here, here, man.

That's crazy. Stadia Dispatch says the Harris-Waltz campaign is so desperate, they're allegedly offering people $200 to be voting ambassadors in Arizona. Also, I bet the media pool will be closed at Kamala's Borders-R event tomorrow. Yup. Indeed. Oh, our good friend Real Hydro is here. He says, Tim, why are you so cliche and lie?

You know you don't shop for anything. IDK why you can't embrace being rich and not pretend. We love you, Hydro. We appreciate all the money you send us, but I do go shopping for my own groceries. I go to Food Lion. Do you like Food Lion? Well, the Food Lion's our grocery store.

I don't know. Where else would I go? There's no other grocery store over here. I don't know. Where else would I go? There's no other grocery store over here. I don't know. There's like five grocery stores near me. They're all different. Well, there's... Oh, right, right, right. What is there?

There's... There's Weiss, Martin's. Oh, yeah, there's Weiss. And Food Lion. There is Food Lion. Oh, yeah, there's Martin's, too. Yeah. Oh, yeah, you got a bunch by you.

Over here, it's like we just got... There's also Walmart. Actually... That's four. Maybe I just only know of the Food Lion. Oh, and then there's the Save-A-Lot. Jeez, what? So that's five.

That's five markets right near me. I was right. That was not an idea. You're not that far from us. Oh, okay. Oh, okay. There is a, like if there's an Aldi and a Weiss. Oh, yeah, there's an Aldi.

That's six. In Martinsburg. Yeah. Oh, yeah, Aldi right by you. Yeah, you got an Aldi and a Weiss. Oh yeah, there's an Aldi. That's six. In Martinsburg. Yeah. But, oh yeah, Aldi, right by you. Yeah, you got an Aldi too. But for me, it makes no sense to go anywhere other than Food Lion. There's a Martins,

but it's twice the distance of Food Lion. And Weiss is three times the distance. So I just go to Food Lion. They have this coconut milk. I always, you know, so I have... The Weiss has the ricotta cheese I like.

That's very good. So I go to Food Lion and I get cottage cheese from... I always get daisy because the ingredients are like skim milk, cream, salt. I always get the daisy sour cream when I make my tacos. Because the ingredients are cream. I don't want any of that weird garbage. But you look at the other companies and it's got weird Gellan gum and artificial emulsifier or whatever crap in it. It took me a while to get used to the grocery stores around here. but now I'm very satisfied with my groceries, other than they cost a lot.

So I have a— That'll be true everywhere, unfortunately. That's true everywhere, yeah. I have the Sleep 8 bed Luke convinced me to buy, and that's where it can, like, heat and cool while you're sleeping. Oh, that seems kind of good. Yeah, because if you get too hot, you'll wake up, and you'll be sweaty, right? Yeah. Done. Never happened again. So if you start getting too hot, the bed cools down. Wait, because if you get too hot, you'll wake up and you'll be sweaty, right? Done. Never happened again.

So if you start getting too hot, the bed cools down. Wait, what's it called? Sleep 8. We're not sponsored by them. But Luke told me to get it and they have a mattress topper and a mattress. I got the mattress. And it also tracks your health. Your heart rate variability, your heart rate and all that stuff. So

I bought coconut milk, which is basically just, it's the coconut meat in the water and it's pureed up. The ingredients are literally just coconut water and coconut. And I started doing a protein shake, the Jocko milk powder, one scoop with coconut milk before bed. And since then, all of my health metrics have been like maxed out every night. Wow. That's cool. Yeah. It could be a combination of hydration, good protein, and I don't know, coconut fat, like literally hits the nail on the head. So now I just do that every

time before bed. And then I wake up in the morning and my phone is like, you're doing great, buddy. And I'm like, thanks phone. Thanks phone. Yeah. I haven't figured out how to track myself in my sleep. And I think that's probably for the best. This watch does it too, but the bed seems to have a more consistent, stable. This watch always tells me that I'm like. Do you wear a watch while you sleep? You're supposed to, yeah. It tracks your health.

But it's so uncomfy. I don't know. I haven't noticed. You wear it while you sleep and then it tracks all of your health metrics. But the weirdest thing is it's always yelling at me saying, do not exercise.

And I'm like, I exercised once this week. Why wouldn't I exercise again? I do like three or four times a week. Yeah. It's a good thing. I don't have a watch like that because I exercise every day. And it would, if it started telling me not to, I'd be like, oh, okay.

It's because I do an hour of VO2 max while I skate. And so my heart rate's at like 185 and I'm 38. And it's just like, you need to stop or you're going to die. And I'm like, dude, I'm skating. Like when I'm skateboarding, I'm not sitting there being like my heart rate's so high, I better stop skating. I'm like. No, you feel good.

I'm just skating. I don't know. Yeah. And then it says your heart rate is too high for how old you are. And I was like, maybe I'm just, you know. Or maybe you're actually a healthy person. Yeah. My resting heart rate's usually in the low 40s.

And people. I have no idea what mine. I have no idea. There was a trend for a little while where a bunch of dudes were posting their resting heart rates, and it was like everyone was responding to each other. And I think they should. And guess what, guys? Y'all listening?

I'm going to brag. I'm going to take a look right now, and I'll tell you exactly what it says. My resting heart rate last night. Pull up the app there, and I don't care about that. You can go away. And I'll hit this. Woo. Sleep Fitness 99.

45. No, I don't use any of these Fitbit watches or anything. I just have one. I eat healthy. I exercise. I just know I'm healthy, but I don't really use the technology. Okay, 45. 45.

And Wednesday was probably not so good. Wednesday, it's not telling me. Oh, Wednesday was 43. Wednesday was, Wednesday was probably not so good. Wednesday, it's not telling me. Oh, Wednesday was 43. Wednesday was 43. 47 on Tuesday. See, that's not so good for me. 43 on Monday and 43 on Sunday. And the reason I'm saying that

is because I want you all to strive for that. And I think everybody should brag about their health and post their, when they run 10 miles, they should post their watch and they should post the screenshot from their phone and they should say I did this and everyone should post the screenshot from their phone, and they should say, I did this, and everyone should cheer for them, and everyone should be doing it too.

Speaking of cheering, have you seen Lizzo? She looks amazing. Absolutely. Based Lizzo, you're great. She looks spectacular. I am so, so happy to see that. Lizzo, that is really, really cool. I am now a Lizzo fan.

I liked her ever since she played James Madison's flute. I didn't. It's funny because a lot of people hated that. A lot of people hated that, but I was like. It had never been played before. Right, but she's a good flautist or whatever. That was the correct term. And I thought it was cool.

But good for her losing weight. She played James Madison's flute. I just thought it was cool. All right, we got Beyond Right. He says, South Texas fuel hauler here. Heading to Florida for hurricane relief loads. And the show does a good job keeping me awake. Awesome.

Nice. Also, there are a ton of Haitians in sand hauling. When asked why, they just say they knew a friend in it. Well, that is very based of you, sir, to help with the hurricane relief in Florida. That's super cool. Appreciate it. Be careful you don't get caught by Kamala Harris claiming you're price gouging when really what you're doing is providing supply for a demand. The Glitched NPC says, Hurricane Michael 2018 was a Category 5 and leveled Mexico Beach in the panhandle.

Also, down with the self-checkout. Force the companies to open their registers by going to a cashier. Be pro-human and support your fellow man. Yeah, I try and do that. There's some stores, though, they don't even have any cashiers. Yeah, especially at certain times of night, those would be like all of the cashier assistance lanes are closed. You have to use self-checkout. What's really bad is in

some stores, when everything is locked up and there's no one in the store, there's no one there and you can't buy anything. New York is the worst. CVS, you go in there, even the toothpaste is locked up and then you can't find an assistant. Not out here. New York. Oh yeah, New York. New York and Los Angeles, you can't get any products. No, no, no, no, guys, you don't understand.

Out here, we went to, where were we? We were about an hour, two hours west, and there's a shed, and you walk up and open the door, and you take, there's nobody there, you take whatever you want, and then you pull out the cash, and you put it in a box and you leave. Yeah, that's how things should be. Yeah. I like things like that.

That's how it is when you live out in the country. Like a little farm stand. Yeah. You walk in, they have everything and you can put on a mask and take whatever you want, but nobody does. Yeah. Well, I always just steal a bunch of your eggs.

That's not stealing though. No, I take them. That's of your eggs. That's not stealing, though. No, I take them. That's not a perk. I very much like taking eggs. Dude, we get like three dozen a day. Well, I usually take two dozen at a time. Okay. Well, I mean, save some for the rest of us.

Yeah, it's a perk. We do have a lot of chickens. Fresh eggs right at the butt. You just don't rinse them off, right? You have to wash them, yeah. No. You wash them before you eat them. Yeah, they have dirt on them. Yes, but you don't wash them until you're about to eat them. Yeah, that's when I

wash them. Right, okay. I'm saying you don't take the eggs in the carton. I take them out of the carton and wash them and then cook them. Right. Yeah. Because we've had people here take the eggs that were brought over and then they wash them all and it's like, well, you better eat them now because... You've just washed off all the good part. All the bloom.

Yeah. That keeps them from spoiling. But you can put them in the fridge. They're good for a couple of weeks if you wash them. Golden Fleece Game says, me and my dad talked about what Trump might do if elected, but my dad brought up a worrisome thing. What happens between the election and inauguration if Trump is elected?

Indeed. That is a good question, especially if they won't release the numbers for like two days, a week. I think that'll heighten a lot of tension that's already kind of simmering at our surface. I am very worried. But, you know, what can you do other than just do the work and hope he wins? So my friends smash that like button, subscribe. It is it's fall. You know, what can you do other than just do the work and hope he wins? So, my friends, smash that like button, subscribe. It's fall. You know what really bothers me? The day it turned fall, it started raining, it was cloudy, and it's cold.

And I'm like, why is it 85 degrees every single day and just hot as hot can be? Super humid. And then it's like, tomorrow's fall. And I'm like, what does that mean? The next day, it's raining and it's cloudy. And I was like, we live in a simulation. All right, everybody, smash that like button, subscribe, share the show with your friends.
