So we have reports now that Israel has launched a ground invasion of Gaza. There are numerous reports stating this to be the case. However, there are now conflicting reports coming out claiming that Israel has not invaded Gaza. And hey, this is how war goes, called fog of war for a reason. But even though there have been some statements put out by the IDF that they have not invaded Gaza, there are still numerous outlets asserting and repeating, no, they did. So it's hard to know exactly what's going on. Other than over the past several days, it has been an escalating conflict. And I don't think we have a strong enough administration to deal with it,

which is leading to these conflicts. Plus, you'll probably hear it from a lot of conservative commentators. Biden resumed funding to some of these Palestinian groups. And then all of a sudden, rockets start firing up. Now we're seeing brawls in the streets. There's a really brutal video of what appears to be a Jewish man being just covered in blood because he had words with a pro-Palestinian group and they beat the crap out of him. So things are getting crazy. People are taking this stuff extremely seriously. And, you know, we'll get into all that.

We also have news the CDC has announced that if you are fully vaccinated, you no longer have to wear a mask, which was confusing to people in red states because they already don't have to. Even out where we are, they lifted the mask mandates. They've already announced the end of the mask mandates. So I don't know what Joe Biden's doing, but he puts out a tweet like, he's like, here's the deal. You either get the vaccine or you wear a mask. That's it. And he's like, here's the deal. You either get the vaccine or you wear a mask. That's it. And everyone's like, shut up, you idiot. He's only talking to like New York, basically. So we're going to get into all of this. And joining us today is filmmaker. And now

you are a congressional candidate, Robbie Starbuck. Yep. Thank you so much for having me. Yeah. Do you want to give a brief introduction to who you are and what you do? Yeah. So I started out as a filmmaker. I've directed Oscar-winning actors, actresses, some of the biggest music stars in the world. And I came out as a Republican in 2015 and endorsed Trump. And I knew that that would burn down my career. It did. And I'm running for Congress now.

Right on. We got Ian chilling. Oh, hello, everyone. Ian Crossland here. Thanks. Happy to be here. Robbie, great to meet you, man. Great to meet you, too.

And I'm in the corner pushing buttons. I'm really looking forward to tonight's conversation because Robbie is a great conversationalist.

Let's get into this first massive breaking story of which I will first admit, I know a decent amount, but there's so much conflicting information about Israel and Palestine. Depending on who you ask, they will tell you you're lying. It's misinformation. And depending on which source you read, they'll give you conflicting information. There's some big hubbub right now because some celebrity put out this meme where it was like,

Israel are just colonists who are stealing land. Depending on where you go, you can get a fist in the face based on what you're saying. But I got to be honest. I think we know which direction typically is the one going to be throwing those punches, and it's going to be the left-wing groups. And I just want to point out, right, so the big news is that Israeli troops have entered Gaza. Again, there's conflicting information. We'll get into this stuff. I'm just confused right off the bat how leftist groups are very much in support of of you know of Palestine and Gaza when their ideology is just not allowed in these places. But isn't that weird. You know what I mean.

Oh it's absolutely weird. But you know it's sort of like in war you make alliances with unlikely friends you know and that's what they've done because at it at their core you know Marxism and this sort of Islamist jihadists over there in Hamas, they're aligned in wanting to destroy the West, and they're very anti-Israel. Did you see what happened in Birmingham in the UK where the school wanted to do an LGBT curriculum? And then the Muslims came out, and women in niqab were protesting. And it was just crazy. There was a gay guy saying like, we're fighting for you. And they're like, get out of here. And they were insulting him and using slurs. It's crazy stuff.

I don't want to derail too much. Let me pull this up. We got the Washington Post here. All right. The Washington Post says it's true. Israeli troops have crossed into the Gaza Strip. The Israeli military said early Friday as artillery tanks and warplanes joined in a withering assault on the Palestinian enclave and the Israeli military readied at least

three brigades of troops for action, raising the prospect of an all out ground invasion. Just after midnight, the Israeli military announced that air and ground forces had joined in an attack on Gaza, but a military spokeswoman did not detail the number or type of troops that had crossed the border. For most of Thursday, the air war between Israelis and Palestinians had raged unabated with casualties continuing to climb on both sides amid rocket fire and airstrikes. So we saw a story where I guess first Israel wiped out a bunch of Hamas commanders. Then we heard Hamas was like, OK, OK, we're done.

And then Israel was like, nah. And then Hamas was like, all right, then fired a bunch more rockets. Have you been following this? I have been. And I think the first part of it, you know, where this all starts is they always use the propaganda of children as human shields. And that's how you get to this point is that, you know, they like to pretend that Israel is doing what they're doing with settlements for no reason, you know. In the West Bank. In the West Bank.

So what's the reason for it? I think the real reason is historically, you know, Hamas and groups like them, they wanted to push Jews into a part of Israel that was really only nine miles wide. And that's from sea to foothill. And the reason for that was because they could essentially trap them into an area where they were very vulnerable and could, you know, take them out. Yeah. Well, here's the here's the idea, though, is that those areas they used as places to bring weapons. And so those weapons could be used on the Jews in Israel and now Arabs in Israel as well. And so protecting that point was very important. And it was something that has been, you know, a core in terms of the IDF's ideology

and Israel's ideology since the Six-Day War. And so it's an important part of maintaining their security for their citizens, which is their, you know, of utmost importance. And if I was running Israel, same sort of thing. You've got to keep your people safe. So I think that's – they're protecting to make sure that weapons don't get into those areas. So there's a video that's going viral where this Palestinian – I think he's in the West Bank – is being interviewed.

And he basically says that the Israelis are coming and claiming they have the right to the buildings, to the property, and they're calling it an eviction when they have no legal claim to any of this land anyway. And they're slowly removing Palestinians from the West Bank. So this went viral because the CNN lady was like, how do you respond to, they're saying that these are evictions. And the guy was like, do you support the displacement of my people? So what's going on here? I mean I don't know if – I don't think you're an expert on this or anything. No, not entirely, but I do know a good deal about the history.

And so essentially I think there's also people who stake claims to that same land who are Jewish that essentially like who's going to be the court for that? Who's going to decide which is which and the other thing people have to keep in mind is hamas uses what looks like normal people in emotional situations as a weapon so in those areas if you see a video of a crying child and it's 10 seconds long and then there's a post along with this is this kid's crying because an israeli soldier just did whatever to their dad there's no proof of that actually happening, but they use that all the time. You know, a Hamas news outlet just put out that if you see rockets coming, don't film it from your windows, please.

You shouldn't be able to see those rockets from your windows. There's a meme where it's... You know the NPC meme? Yeah. So there's an NPC guy, and I guess he's wearing a maga or something, and he's like, Israel has a right to defend itself. And the regular guy says, so does Palestine.

And then it shows the NPC pause and then get angry. And I'm like, well, hold on, hold on. Who fired the rockets first? Which side? Was it Palestine or was it Israel that fired? How far back are you going to go? No, no. I'm talking about right now.

A week ago. Who fired the rockets first? Hamas. So who's defending who? Yep. Israel's defending itself. How is it self-defense when they fire a bunch of rockets into civilian areas? Because they're under siege.

Where? In the West Bank. Because people in the West Bank are being kicked out of their houses. They don't have access to fresh water. They can only be outside certain hours. They've got to across military check okay so because there's a conflict in the west bank hamas in gaza fires rockets into various cities and civilian areas it's messed up that's that's that's that's okay so there's a reason that's they call that terrorism because in war typically you target military targets or when you have a

conflict in the west bank the conflict is in the Bank. For them to fire rockets indiscriminately all throughout Israel, to me, I just look at that and I'm like, I understand if I had landed and it was being taken over or whatever, settled, I'd be upset too. But I don't see how you win a war by firing rockets indiscriminately into schools and buses and civilian areas.

And not only that, they set it up so that when Israel does respond to 300 rockets come from a place in a residential area where they're firing them off, when Israel responds, innocent people die. So kids die. And they do that because at the end of the day, those kids are not kids to them. They don't see them as innocent, beautiful little human beings. They see them as weapons and shields. So they know that in the media, especially in the Western media, if you have that headline that two kids died, that that is an emotional.

It even I mean, it hurts everybody who, who, you know, has a heart because they're kids, but they do that intentionally because they know that's going to be the case. That's why that news story came out saying, don't film us shooting rockets from outside your window. Why are you outside the windows of normal people shooting rockets?

It's really hard to figure out what's going on too, because I don't speak the language and you see these propaganda videos and from both sides. Right. There'll be a video of a guy and he's speaking Arabic. And then, you know, I watched one video where there's a guy on the phone yelling. And it was from a pro-Israel commentator saying this is a warning that Israel has called the guy and said that there are rockets being fired from your building. You need to get everyone out because in one hour we're going to fire a knock bomb.

It's going to shock the building. And then I don't know if that's true because I can't understand a word that's being said. But I can tell you, like I mentioned before, fire rockets indiscriminately. There was a meme I saw. And then I think it's fair. I think it's fair to bring up if Israel laid down all of its arms right now, the Iron Dome defense system, what do you think would happen? They'd be wiped out. Yeah, they'd probably be overrun. And if Palestine, if Gaza laid down their weapons,

what do you think would happen? Well, they basically have, except for the militant terrorist groups or the resistance. I mean, that's the group, though, always that has arms. And the problem is that normal people, they're not doing anything to say, oh, we don't accept this they're accepting of that's the situation and that they run things you know not that look i i saw videos where the rockets are being fired by hamas and people are yeah they're cheering they're cheering for it i i understand right if i was in an area and i believed it was my land look the problem is both sides are going to claim they're

right they have moral superiority for whatever reason and i from the outside i'm trying to assess what do we do right now to stop the pain and suffering and death and destruction and i see people cheering for rockets being fired indiscriminately into civilian areas and i'm like i understand the idf uh does airstrikes and surgical strikes which also hit civilian areas but israel didn't fire the rockets first. You can go back at Six-Day War in Egypt and sign up, you know, all that stuff. Right now, everybody's chilling. There's tensions.

Everybody's been fighting. They've been fighting for a long time. And then all of a sudden, you see this video of just rockets flying through the air. And then you see the aftermath because the Iron Dome can't intercept every single one. And I've talked to people who – I met a skateboarder who was from Gaza who talked to me about a whole bunch of stuff. And I've, I've talked to people who I've met, I met a skateboarder who was from Gaza who talked to me about a whole bunch of stuff. And it was really interesting. And his perspective was, was, was really nuanced. He's, he was like, the problem is it's a war with both sides asserting moral superiority. And he was like, my family decided to leave and he was

fortunate enough to get out. And then I've met people in Israel who are like, I don't know why I don't get it. I don't know. All I know is that one day a rocket exploded above my apartment and I was terrified. So we're, we're, this has been going on for so long. It's, it's gotten to the point where, let me use another, another place as an example, the Belfast. They ever been to Belfast? Northern Ireland? Ireland. Yeah. So they have something called the peace wall. So it's, it's crazy what was going on in Northern Ireland. Not the same thing, but I remember when I was there and I was being showed around by this dude. And on the one side of the Peace Wall, it's like free Palestine.

And I was like, yeah, go figure. It's like a leftist thing. On the other side, it said pro-Israel. And I was like, why are people in – what is this? This is Belfast. And what the dude there said to me was, it's tribal. It's been so ingrained, the hatred between each side, that they don't really care as to what's causing the fight. The fight is here. The fight is real. And they want to wipe the other side out. So I understand

someone's going to go back and be like, the crimes of this, the crimes of that. It's like, well, what can we do right now? Because y'all just can't be mad at each other forever. There's got to be something we can do. And we can start by not firing rockets. Yeah. Well, I ask people too, you know, when it comes to the civilians getting hurt, the question people need to ask is if Hamas was firing rockets at Israel from a military base or from a field somewhere, where would Israel be dropping their bombs? They'd be dropping them on the field. Exactly. But Hamas is choosing to make those strikes on purpose in civilian areas where they don't have military assets. They're not trying

to hit an Israeli military asset. They're trying to hit normal people. Look, did you see that? I'm sorry, man. I'm just I'm done playing these games. I'm not going to pretend to know the full history of Israel, Palestine. I know a bit about it. But that woman posted earlier, it was Israel, but the whole thing was flowers and said Palestine. Then you had that other guy. Remember that guy who was working for Bernie or whatever who said something about driving them out to the sea or whatever? Do you remember that? I know what you're talking about. Like these people are like, no, no, we believe in peace.

And then they start chanting to drive the Jews into the sea or whatever. And I'm like, dude, I don't believe you, man. That goes back to the nine-mile thing that i was talking about at that narrowest point that's they want they want them to be in the narrowest possible vulnerable position i'm sorry the the thing that was being chanted was like free palestine from the whatever river to the sea yeah it's a song and then you had that woman again it's like it's israel and it just says palestine and there's flowers everywhere and people were like dude we get what you're saying you want israel destroyed they don't want it there and i'm sorry but like you can go back to the 60s and say we have problems

with all this you can go back to the the the the european powers and they're dividing up lands and all that bro i wasn't alive back then i don't know about the sins of the father whatever all i know is like can we stop the fighting somehow we can this is the theocracy is what concerns me in the united states we've got the freedom of religion which is amazing because you can have coexisting cultures and religions and we all get along for the most part but in israel and palestine it's it's different cultures and religions and languages and because of that have you ever been to israel there's mad conflict no you can you i've i've been lots of arabs and and i and i i ever been to israel there's mad conflict no you can you i've been lots of arabs and and i and i i've been there and it's like cosmopolitan urban metro it was like

you walk around people are i've been to i've been to egypt and morocco and i have seen the theocratic rule i i was uh there's a casino in the hilton of egypt and i was hanging out with this egyptian guy and i was like yo you want to hit up the casino and he was like oh I can't it's illegal and I was like what he's like you can and I was like huh he's like yeah yeah yeah it's only people who are Muslim if you're Egyptian you're not allowed to go to the casino it's illegal but for everyone else it's illegal and I'm like wow alright

I went to the casino and it was foreigners hanging out inside I went to Israel and it was like hanging out in Boston or whatever it was like very urban metro Morocco is the same thing I've been to and it was like hanging out in Boston or whatever. It was like very urban, metro, liberal. Morocco's the same thing. I've been to Morocco.

Same thing where they don't accept any outside thought or culture at all. I mean, it's very narrow in terms of what they're okay with. And so that's like if you want to see that, that's where that is. I think Israel is technically a Jewish state, right? Yes. Whereas the United States isn't a Christian state where we don't have a national. I mean, it's we don't have a national religion. But I think if you went back and you said, OK, what is the core, you know, sort of basis in terms of like fundamental morality in our country?

It would go back to Judeo Christian values 100 percent. But that's sort of the beauty of freedom of religion here is we don't say, hey, you have to believe this. But they also don't say in hey, you have to believe this. But they also don't say in Israel, you have to believe this. It just so happens they're very forward in terms of the fact that this is a home for Jewish people. And I think that it's different than us, but it's no less accepting of outside belief systems. Judaism is a very interesting religion because it's a religion and a culture. And it's the only religion, I think, on earth that's also a culture. You mean an ethnicity.

Yes, it's an ethnicity and a religion. If your mother was Jewish, then you're Jewish. And you can go get – become a Jew by going to like a rabbi and worship the – so it's – and it's – that's – Converting. It concerns me not that it's a good or a bad thing. It's not that. But I think it's so ingrained in who these people are, who a Jew is, is that. You don't have to practice Judaism in Israel.

And they're fairly secular. Right. It's fairly remarkable for the Middle East, to be honest. I had a question. From my understanding, it sounds to me like Israel is the only country in that part of the world that is okay with like homosexuality and that kind of thing. Is this correct? They don't throw people off buildings for anything like that. I mean, people have their own private belief systems, you know, and that's, it's sort of similar to the United States in that regard. Like, I mean, it's kind of somewhat live and let live,

even if I have different opinions in you or I don't like this, like they're not going to go and try to hurt the person. You know, another thing to keep in mind too, is like Israel wasn't the one trying to put all these and impose all these sanctions on everybody. If you look at the surrounding countries and say how many of them have a ban on somebody with an Israeli passport from being able to travel, it's the majority of them. Don't let anybody – It's other Muslim nations too.

Yeah, absolutely. I think – I'm not entirely sure, but doesn't Indonesia have something similar? In terms of banning them? Yeah, if you haven't it's a lot of them a lot of the the islamic nations do not allow people with israeli passports even if they don't live there even if they have another you know passport from another country they won't let you in if you have a code national so this is something that they they talk about when uh you're doing international journalism if you go to israel and you get a stamp on your passport, you are banned from a whole bunch of countries.

And so there's two things you can do. You can get what's called a duplicate passport, and you literally go to the U.S. government and say, I need a passport to go to Israel. And they give you a very temporary one. It's good for like a year. And that's the one you use for going to Israel. That way you have your other passport.

You can go to the other countries. But what Israel started doing was they were – instead of stamping passports, they were giving visa cards that they would put in the passport, and then you wouldn't get a stamp because they knew that people don't view them as legitimate, and you can't go to a ton of countries. And we're not talking about just the Middle East. I'm pretty sure it was like either Indonesia or Malaysia or something. There's countries in Africa too, same thing. But the one thing they all have in common is that they're Islamic governments where they're explicitly – so actually, you know what? The Jewish religion would not be the only one that is also a culture and all those things. Islam is too.

In fact, Islam is to a much greater degree in terms of how many countries are like that. Well, it's not an ethnicity. You know what I mean? Yeah, that's definitely true. You can be ethnically Jewish and not religious, but you can be religiously – that's why I think – But culture. It has its own culture entirely. It turns into like a nationalism of its own sort of making. You know, I just when I when I look at the whole situation, I think one thing that the left is correct about is that Israel has the military support of the West.

And because of that, they're in a dominant position. And I'm like, I look at that and think to myself, it's a war that's been going on for a long time. And whose side are you on? I don't live there. I don't know. I know the U.S. provides support technically for both factions. You know, Biden, do you know who he was providing funding to? I know Ben Shapiro was tweeting about it. Yep. He was giving funding to essentially to Hamas because he's giving it to Palestine. And we all know what happens when you give money to them.

I think it's on purpose. It happens. Oh, well, I mean, where were all of these rockets while Trump was president? Right. Because this didn't happen. I think it's on purpose. I think in order to justify military expansion in the Middle East, they need conflict. They need to say, oh, no. Oh, geez. So Israel's in danger. So we better bring out more troops.

We better have more occupation. And so surprise, surprise, money starts flowing into Palestine as soon as Joe Biden's back in plan and the rockets start flying. And then we provide support for Israel. So I'm not saying I know that to be a fact. I'm saying that seems to be a plausible idea in my book. That the military industrial complex wants occupation in various countries, Iraq and Afghanistan particularly, because we know they want to go into Iran. We know they want Syria for access to the pipeline. You need conflict to justify it.

I'm not even going to say that this is what I believe, but false flags are real. And if a country fakes it and says, we just got attacked by another country, but they did it to themselves, and then that gives them justification for a ground invasion, that's happened in the past. I don't know, but I don't think it happened. I'm just pointing it out.

When you look at the set of facts in terms of the invasion of Iraq, Afghanistan, the mainstream media lying to us, you can see the establishment very, very much wants to be occupying these places. There was a report that came out in The Guardian that the U.S. was planning on entering Syria well before the Syrian civil war. Why? The Qatar-Turkey pipeline competing with Russian natural gas in Ukraine by sending up a pipeline through Syria and Turkey. But Assad said no. All of of a sudden war breaks out. The U.S. says now's our chance. Conflict erupts. The U.S. wants to occupy these places.

Donald Trump comes in and he says, no new wars. And they start yelling at him. Donald Trump says, I want the troops out of Syria. They lied to him and they lied to us to keep troops in Syria. Then Trump says, pull the troops out of Afghanistan. And they said no, and they wouldn't do it. They defied Donald Trump. They defied what the will of the people was because they want to be there. Now, I think they will do everything in their power to have that justification for doing it. Joe Biden literally is providing funding to Palestinian

groups. And then within a few months, rockets start flying through the air. I'm not saying it's a fact. I'm not saying I have evidence of this. I'm just saying it's a fact i'm not saying i have evidence of this i'm just saying it would not surprise me if the administration if biden the democrats were like how can we get more conflict to justify a military presence in the middle east well we can provide funding to certain groups that will result in conflict and chaos that's what the cia did with the muzha hadin now as for as for they learn their lesson though here's the thing like at a certain point they have to learn their lesson we all understand there was no wmds okay so if you really wised up say you're pretending you're them it doesn't really make as much sense to coordinate some kind of false flag or a lie through the media

it would make a whole lot more sense just hand the money over to a group that wants to bomb somebody else this is this is the big secret about conspiracy theories people think like the journalists are working for the ca operation, you know, Mockingbird or whatever it was called. And that's not how it works. These leftist news organizations, they don't hire a journalist and say, and now you'll report the lies we tell you. They find some activists and say, you're good at what you do. Would you like to be a a journalist and then they bring activists on activists who don't care for reporting they care for politics and they espouse the politics of the political the politics of the individual who runs the company yeah 100 that's so so you don't need to hire an assassin you don't need to hire the

shills you'd find people who are already predisposed to certain behaviors and you fund them to exacerbate whatever it is they're doing well and look at step two two who else did we give money to i ran you know they're the next domino here and now we're firing warning shots at them and yeah but we gave them money there was conflict with trump you know yeah in in Iran before this too. So I think the US – the idea is that if we leave the Middle East as a power vacuum, Taliban will come in. Terror groups will come in. ISIS will come back or something equivalent to it.

Or Russia and China will come in. So we have to be there. How do we justify being there? American people don't want to be there. The American people are like, we don't want to waste money sending our men and women in uniform overseas for this stuff and then some bombs go flying and there's a conflict and people are fighting in the streets and then it's like oh now we got to stay at what point do we ask ourselves though what were they doing before we went there were these groups fighting with each other killing each other back then so where has it gotten us having our people get killed there?

Well, I mean, here's the big challenge, I suppose. If the issue is America first, why is America getting involved in Israel's politics as it is and just saying, have at it? I would say that the reason there is strategically aligning ourselves with something that keeps us safer too, because that whole whole area if there's nothing deterring them from being able to go and turn their fire say they destroy israel and we we just do nothing and we allow that to happen well they have to turn the anger and all of the things that they've enacted out on israel onto somebody else and in general the thing they hate the most after that is the west in general i will so i So in that sense, it's this strategic ally.

If there is a real argument for the power vacuum in the Middle East and we're invading countries because of it, I think that's wrong. If the alternative is Israel is literally there and we can provide support to make sure they're safe and secure, that's a big difference. That's very different from invading a bunch of other countries. Exactly. And that's where i stand is let's make sure that they have the ability to exist because they should be allowed to exist and make sure they're safe but i don't want to be in any of these places anymore they've been doing this for thousands of years it will continue for thousands of years and i don't want americans to die as part of that math equation have you seen that there's a video i think it's called like this uh this land is my land. God made this land for me.

And it's an animation showing all of the different groups that have been fighting over the Holy Land for thousands of years. And it's like it's one song. And it's like every time the new person comes in and tramples over the next group, they're singing the same song. And it just goes back and forth of every single group. I haven't seen this. It's like this. This conflict will never end because everybody is like it was historically my land and like yeah but if you

go back even further it was my level even further it was my land don't don't discount the possibility that israel may try to actually end this in terms of with hamas because they know that biden's going to be paralyzed right now because if biden steps in and does anything that is anti-israel at this point it will confirm everything that has been said about the Democratic Party for the past six years, that they're anti-Israel and that they are not friendly to the Jewish people. And if he does that, that's going to create a whole host of other issues. Well, we just saw this story. Biden basically defended Israel. He literally defended Israel.

He says that there hasn't been a significant overreaction as IDF bombards Gaza and troops mass on border. Yeah, Biden is paralyzed. He doesn't have the ability to be strong and firm. It's just not within him. He's going to stumble and mutter in his words and fall asleep halfway through. So if anything, we could discount any conspiracy theories about military industrial complexes or whatever. Fine.

But it could very well just be that hamas is like trump's gone green light yeah because biden ain't gonna do anything about it and then israel's like well we're gonna we're gonna strike back and what's biden gonna do about it exactly and at this point israel may be making the calculation why not go and do all this the irony in all of this is that for the left who pretends to care about the palestinians trump was the best president for them because he was able to keep the whole house in order because you almost had this chaotic energy all the time

that was keeping everybody on their toes there. So if anybody got out of line, he was able to step in and be like, well, if you do this, it's going to happen. And they don't know what kind of wild card he's going to throw at them. That's the difference. With Biden, they both know he's paralyzed exactly look at the abraham accords yep you had these arabic nations signing these peace treaties and these deals and these economic ties with israel and no explosions yeah but you know what that's why i was saying that's bad for

the military industrial complex that's bad for the establishment that wants gas pipelines and then it's really funny because i think it was i don don't know if it was Jack who pointed this out, but they shut down the – Gretchen Whitmer in Michigan wants to shut down this oil pipeline. It's dangerous. It's dangerous. The Colonial Pipeline hack, they shut down Keystone. We went from being energy independent to energy dependent very quickly. And it provides another excuse to have a presence in the Middle East. A hundred percent.

We talked about this just a couple hours ago. We were saying that essentially, we need to get to the point as a nation, and this is part of being anti-war, we need to be energy independent because if we're not, then we need to be worried about every time an oil field gets captured by a terror group

or gets burned by a terror group. We were in a place under Trump where if that happened, it wasn't such a big problem for us unless you're investing in oil you know in the stock market but for american people at the gas pump it wasn't a big problem because we were energy independent enough to deal with whatever came outside there because we had enough here with biden you don't it's it's awfully convenient for those who wanted to keep our military in syria i remember when trump wanted to pull out of syria and then they basically were like, but

the oil. So Trump says, okay, fine. We're keeping in just enough troops to get the oil. And he just blurts it out. It was really funny because the anti-war left is continually like Trump's admitting exactly what the US is doing and they don't get it. Trump was admitting it on purpose. He doesn't want, Trump did not want to be there.

Trump didn't care about it. All Trump cared about was America, America first, energy independent, bring our jobs back, make America great again. He didn't care about being in Syria. So when they were like, we're not going to pull our troops out. Trump was like, why? Because they're guarding oil. Trump said, then get everyone else out and guard the oil.

And then he goes on TV and says, don't worry. We still have all their oil. And everyone's like, don't you appreciate he's pulled the curtain back? He's breaking the fourth wall and telling you exactly what this is this is all theater to distract you from what's really going on this is what's really going on so if that's what they want here they can have that but we're not going to do this remember remember when trump was standing outside like by the helicopter or whatever and he's like we're doing a great weapons deal with saudi arabia it's going to be great for our economy we're going to make billions of dollars giving weapons to this country. And the anti-war left was just like, he just admitted it all.

He just came out and said it. That was the beauty of Trump, though, you know, in so many ways. And I think that it's something we're going to see again when he comes out and does these rallies. But he was just so transparent about all these things. And in a weird way, so much of our country was not ready for that transparency because they were conditioned, you know, through many different things. But, you know, just this exposure effect by itself of your whole life being exposed to people who lie to you. Right. Having this person just blurt out the truth all the time sounds crazy.

He lied about weird, stupid things a lot. But, like, the important stuff, he would just blurt out the truth. And people were so conditioned to having people in positions of power lie to them that that was like just an earthquake. This was how you could tell the agenda of Trump was legitimate. He would lie about things. When he would lie about something you knew was something he actually cared about, domestic policy or his character. And then he would be openly just like, oh, yeah, we're getting the oil and we want to pull everybody oh yeah, we're getting the oil and we want to pull everybody else out

and we're selling weapons to these countries. He didn't care about that. He didn't want to keep doing it. It meant nothing to him. So he had no problem telling people because it wasn't part of his agenda. The things he was lying about, like Stormy Daniels stuff

or just like ego stuff. Number of people. Number of people at his rallies. It were things that directly impacted his mission agenda and stature in the United States. And the Intercept said that he was simultaneously the most honest and the most deceitful president we've ever had. Because on these really important issues, he would just like open his mouth and tell you everything. Well, the thing that they never honestly actually talk about is that he's an entertainer. He's not a politician. And when you're an

entertainer, you're a storyteller. When you tell stories, things are naturally going to kind of get a little bit grandiose, you know? And I think that to some degree, people need to have common sense and understand that, you know? Yeah. I will say too, when, when he had the inauguration and he was like like there was more people who watched this than any other group and the media was like that's a lie that what they do is these clever tricks where trump says we had the biggest inauguration ever the media then goes there were only you know 50 000 people at in dc which is which which means trump lied and it's like did trump say only in attendance or was he referring to

all viewership online in general? Yeah. And so they always make the assumption in the most in the worst possible way to make it look like he's lying or being manipulative. That was that that was what the media did the whole time. And I got a story of his presidency. That is the story of the presidency. Now we got Joe Biden. And I just got to say, it's really funny because I honestly didn't think we would all be so spot on. You know, all of the like, I don't want to necessarily say conservative, but Democrat critical or establishment critical personalities, be it the disaffected liberals or the conservatives. We're like, Joe Biden's going to have a radical left policy agenda. It's going to cause more war.

Gas prices are going to skyrocket. The riots are going to have a radical left policy agenda. It's going to cause more war. Gas prices are going to skyrocket. The riots are going to continue. And I mean, I genuinely thought all that would happen, but I kind of felt like we wouldn't be like five for five. I thought it would take six months. That's the thing. I didn't know it would be this fast. He's like, I mean, he's like on some sort of weird kind of failure speed. I didn't know they made it.

He's doing speedballs for failure because he's just like a rocket and in every other way he's like a sweet i know no no remember that quote from joe biden i mentioned the other day where he was like i can't remember exactly what it was but he goes the one thing that you gotta do you know to be great and when when you're it's uh anyway do you remember when he did that? Yeah. He was like, anyway. Anyway. So hold on. I'll move on. You guys want me to move on.

I'll tell you what I think is happening. Biden comes out and he's all like, you know, shaking and confused and it's – you know, they're like, what's your plan? Better get out of here. And then all the Democrats are just clapping and cheering for it. Yeah. And all the conservatives are like, the dude's insane. He's off his rocker.

His brain isn't working. And then he goes, I'm going to get in trouble if i take questions so i'm gonna break get out of here he walks backstage and he's like oh bro where's jill and then he goes stands up straight he goes we're done now moving forward i want hyperinflation we're going to decimate this economy we're going to drop consumerism climate change is a very serious problem now over here i want more more immigrants coming to the border so resent trump's orders and we're going to reopen these facilities we want to create chaos ladies and gentlemen get the job done and get me another 50 million of bitcoin

at least you think he's a bumbling fool but i'll put it this way i'm not saying this is true i'm just saying at a certain point the failures how could you be in terms of like policy positions in four months, oh, and five? Like the riots are still happening. Inflation is getting worse. These are his policy positions. They're dropping the charges on Antifa. He's giving out more money for people not to work. He's rescinded Trump's executive orders.

He's reopened the migrant facilities. He's funding these Palestinian groups. How could that be an accident? It can't be. It can't be. It can't be. And by the way, you have to use a correct term. It's not inflation that's happening. It's Bidenflation.

Bidenflation. Was that Vesobic who came up with that? Yeah. I think so. That was the first one. But it is. It's Bidenflation. It's stagflation.

It's people not working and inflation at the same time, which is like the worst possible thing. Most dangerous thing possible. I just – I can't believe it's an accident. It's not. When I saw the story from The Guardian where it was like Gretchen Whitmer orders the closure of an oil pipeline in Michigan, I was like, get out of here. There's no way it was a coincidence that we have a pipeline shut down. The Keystone shut down and people are running and filling up garbage bags with gas.

And then she's like, now's a good time to shut down another pipeline. Yep. That's you're spot on you're spot on and this is not the first time that any of this has happened this is the playbook to color revolutions to bringing marxism into a country you need to make it as weak as possible in so many different areas that all you have to do is kick one leg of that desk out and it's all going to topple because every single one of them has been loosened. Frogs in a pot. So we talked about this before, shocking the system. I've been saying we should abolish the police for the past couple of months. Why? Most of the good cops have left. We've got tremendous reports. A Michael Tracy report on this. Huge numbers of

people arrested for not wearing masks or for running small businesses. You had a woman in south of Minneapolis arrested because she opened her coffee bar during COVID. So you have cops arresting these people. Meanwhile, Antifa is getting cut loose. I get it. The cops still arrest them, but they get cut loose. Now, most of the good cops have quit and what's left of the cops will do whatever they're told. If you leave this system as it is, we can already see what's happening. Black Lives Matter calls the police. They're at a guy's house. He brandishes a shotgun in his own home. They call the cops. The cops arrest him from his own home. They don't want to abolish the police. They're at a guy's house. He brandishes a shotgun in his own home. They call the cops. The cops arrest him from his own home. They don't want to abolish the police. They've weakened the police department, demoralized to the point where they can get cops who will come

in and enforce anything they're told. Conservatives now need to be need to be paying attention to this because they're frogs in a pot boiling, defending the police and that changes are slow enough to where within a year you're going to have your woke police force they're going to arrest you in your own home they're already doing it in which case you can be a frog in a pot or you can be a frog someone threw a rock at get shocked out of it you got to think about it i would say this this would be my pushback to it is that i think that the country is so divided that in the cities that are controlled by Democrats, the police forces, the police chiefs have been chosen by the Democrat mayors.

The police forces have been neutered, essentially. And you're right that most of the good people have left. And so what we have left there in those cities is police departments that essentially bow down to the mob. But in the rest of America, we don't. Like in most parts there's some places where we've seen them act crazy over covet orders and stuff like that but i can say in tennessee like our local police they refuse to enforce any of the mandates they refuse to enforce anything like that and so that's a very different world and none of those officers

are leaving their jobs let's clarify i'll clarify when the left says abolish the police they're not talking about tennessee they're talking about New York City. Yeah, absolutely. And I'm like, yeah, go for it. I just want to clarify that from my home state. So, you know, I think that that idea that it's all one thing is something we have to be very clear about. But in terms of what's happening in the big cities, you know, honestly, I don't know exactly what the answer is because when you look at it, you know, if that's what all of them want, they're going to have to see what the outcomes are. And honestly, I think the real answer is, is for the police who are there right now and are putting themselves in harm's way when they bow down to these people.

They need to walk away from their job. Ultimately, my point was, if we keep sitting here as the police departments are attacking, demoralized and good cops quit and bad cops take jobs. We are frogs in a pot being boiled. And you won't realize when the change has happened, when all of a sudden your cop knocks on your door and says, you know, where's your critical race theory book? Prove you have it. You'll just be like, how did we get to this point? Because if at any point, if the Democrats came out right now and said, we're going to mandate that all police arrest anybody who displays white privilege, people would revolt. People would freak out. They'd be screaming.

They'd be demanding people get fired. You do it slowly over the course of a year, two years, or three years. And then people are just like, did you hear about John? He got something about white privilege. I don't know what happened. And then one by one, these things keep happening. And then eventually it's normal. It's incrementalism. If you do it. So I'll use the story of eBay, which I've told before. When eBay first started, the website was yellow. You ever hear the story? No.

The website was yellow. One day they decided we want to redesign the website. They made it. They made the website white. They got inundated with complaints. People were like, I hate it. It's awful. So they changed it back.

Every day they incremented it one shade closer to white over the course of a year. A year later, the website was white and no one complained because it was so gradual. No one noticed. So right now what's happening is you mentioned like Marxism and coming in and weakening the country. If they came in and stood up and said, we, you know, I'm, I'm a Marxist candidate who wants to run for office, they'd never win. You get in the Democratic Party, now they've gotten to the point where they've actually entertained socialism and it's working. Yep. Now they can tell you socialism is a good thing.

Socialism is great. And now people are starting to actually, I remember like two or three years ago, they added the word socialism to the Democratic Party Wikipedia page. Yep. Tenets, socialism. They're doing it slow enough because you can't just do it all at once for a few reasons. People notice right away a massive change and don't like it, but they need to make it transition along with the aging demographics. Yep. So when we have these leftists on the show and they're in their 20s and they're like, you got to vote for Joe Biden. And then I mentioned the Obama administration. They go, oh, I was 15 when that happened i have no idea yeah i'm like oh so when they were blowing up kids you weren't paying you'll learn this time you'll learn this time but it's not just about the individual it's about the demographic so you're spot on because

like fidel castro if you ask somebody is fidel castro was he a communist you'd be like oh yeah absolutely well he never admitted he was in the lead up to the revolution. He only admitted he was a Marxist after they'd consolidated enough power. He had already taken power and they had an alliance with the Soviet Union. That's when he said, I'm a Marxist. Before that, he said, I'm a humanist. I'm a Catholic. Yeah. Yeah.

You showed us that image where it was like a humanist revolution. Yeah. And then we know what happened after that. Yeah. You look at what happens. And I'm sorry, I can shout this out whenever I get the opportunity. Maduro giving a speech to a starving nation in Venezuela and then just reaching into a drawer, pulling out an empanada and taking a big old bite. You know what I'm going to do?

That is them encapsulated. Can we sell that as an NFT? That's the Marxist. I can't believe he did that. I know. It's insane. They're so brazen. They know that once they've demoralized you to that point, he can eat food in front of you as you starve and no one will do anything about it.

Yep. Step one is get on TV and treat Americans like dogs and tell them that they can get a prize. Well, hold on. Dogs are treated pretty well in this country. No. Okay. Maybe like groundhogs. But I'm talking about the training aspect.

The training aspect saying you can have your treat if you take your medicine that like we saw today yeah what was that what was that thing from biden i don't have it pulled up you know he's like if you get your vaccine you otherwise you wear a mask that's the deal and i'm like no no it isn't joe like i don't live wherever it is you live okay because even though he said that dc's operating under different rules so the cd CDC comes out and they're like, if you're vaccinated, you don't got to wear a mask. Well, Washington, D.C. doesn't care. They said that.

Washington, D.C. is a federal jurisdiction, but they're doing whatever they want. Texas hasn't cared for some time. They've got no mask mandate. Florida, the same. And out here, they've already announced the end of the mask mandates in several states. And some of them are blue states.

And I'm like, I don't know who he's talking to. Who is Joe Biden talking to? New York City, I guess. He's talking to himself through the guise of his abusive father in the 50s when that's how they talk. The meaner and the more cruel you were, the more likely the kid was to be subservient and say, yes, sir. I don't know, man. I look at how kids are getting raised today, and it's like I feel like kids today are the epitome of shut up, mom, kind of kids. The disrespect today is crazy. We've got to get that under control in America. I feel like kids today are the exam or the, the epitome of shut up mom kind of kids.

Well, the disrespect today is crazy. We got to get that under control in America, especially dads need to like be a dad. Don't let them, don't let them talk to their mom disrespectfully and say, teach them how to treat people because how they treat people at home, that's going to be reflection of how they treat people on the outside. And you don't need to be this brutal dictator of a parent to instill respect

lead by example. And the first time they step out of line, take away everything that they like playing with and doing. And that'll effectively work most of the time. Yeah, that worked for me. It's a privilege. I referenced The Intercept when talking about Donald Trump and they called him the most honest and deceitful president. Have you guys seen The Intercept story that came out about the D.C. riot squad? We talked about it, yeah.

Okay. Yep. For those that are listening at home, we are good friends with the Riot Squad. They are awesome people. They come on the show every so often. Whenever there's like a big event, Richie and, you know, Jorge and the whole crew, they're here. And we talk about what happened. Like, hey, you were on the ground.

Tell me your thoughts. And they're always very explicitly like, we're not political. We're not pro or anti. Like, you know, we can criticize violence and all that stuff. Richie's very, very, like, strict about, like, it's not my political opinion. I'll tell you what they did. You know, like Antifa did these things. That happened.

I was there. He told us about what happened in D.C. on January 6th. He was down there at the Capitol filming it. And he got smeared by the New York Times. They called him a rioter because he was there filming and his shirt came off. Anyway, The Intercept writes this. They make this 24 minute video claiming that the riot squad, our friends are like right wing misinformation to distort the facts and smear Black Lives Matter.

So we have this from the National Review. They say we shouldn't need the riot squad, but we do a response to the intercept. They say if you were lucky enough to get off the Internet for any extended period of time last summer, you probably would have had no idea that cities across the country were being consumed by political violence on a scale unseen since the 1960s. If in May and June you limited your media diet to the major newspapers, CNN and MSNBC, you would have been unaware that intense property damage and physical violence was being perpetrated by rioters each and every night in Kenosha, Portland, and just about every other major city.

And I want to point out in Kenosha, there's a video where an old man had a store was being burned and looted. And when he ran up trying to stop people, someone bashed him over the back of the head with a rock, leaving him on the ground bleeding out. They say extremist agitators, many of whom traveled from city to city looking for trouble, assaulted bystanders, destroyed businesses, and torched buildings. The only reason we know who was responsible and how they managed to run wild in formerly sleepy downtowns is because of journalists like Daily Caller's Richie McGinnis, Shelby Talcott, Jorge Ventura, and Town Hall's Julio Rosas. And we've had all of them in the studio, and I will stress they are good friends of the show. After New York Times reporters and cable news talking heads left the scenes of daytime protests,

McGinnis, Talcott, Ventura, and Rosas stayed on the street to document the destruction that reliably followed. McGinnis got so close to the action in Kenosha, he rendered first aid to the man whom Kyle Rittenhouse fatally shot. You know what the Intercept did? They tried smearing Richie by making it seem like he was withholding evidence. Because certainly he should have had video footage of what happened, right? Why didn't he release it?

He was rendering first aid to a guy who got shot. He was like being a human being. And not just a human being, but whether the person's bad or good, somebody willing to render first aid in a critical situation like that, that's a courageous person. You ever see The Patriot with Mel Gibson? Yeah. And Mel Gibson's in his house, and he's got redcoats and Continental Army, and they're all being rendered aid.

We do this. We do this because we're good people. Yep. And then the bad guy, he was the British guy. He's like, care of them all or whatever, and it made Britain look like extremists or whatever. They got really mad about it. But the point is the bad guys are the ones who let you die you know like when the joker's falling to his death batman always saves him yeah that man's the good guy who doesn't want you to die he just is trying to do right even though sometimes it's

hard decisions they're going to say a year later the intercepts robert mackie seems upset the reporting done by the daily caller in Town Hall is inconvenient to his political agenda. In a transparent attempt at the sort of guilt by association that activists posing as reporters just love, Mackey lumps Talcott and McInnes in with fabulists who posted deceptively edited clips of rioting on social media to stir up outrage, labeling the lot of them the Riot Squad. I'm sorry, I just got to point out, they call themselves the Riot Squad. That actually is a cool name. Yeah.

That's a cool nickname. We had three of the crew here on the show, and I was like, what should we put? I think it was Richie, right? Yeah, I think so. He was like the DC Wright Squad. That sounds like him. I'm like, okay. Because they're journalists who are down there covering these things.

The reason I bring this up is, for one, I am personally offended at the insult to good friends of this show. We had Richie here hanging out rollerblading. He's like in one of the vlogs. He's literally just a friend who's hanging out. He's a good dude. He's not super political. He's like a surfer guy, a skateboarder. And simply by doing journalism, they try to destroy him. That's the

name of the game. I will also mention, I am offended, that we get no smears in this thing. They don't mention... I think... No, no. I'm being somewhat facetious, but our third biggest clip from the show was richie mcginnis telling the story of what happened in kenosha explaining here's what happened here's where i was and that's and that's it that's because there was too much context in the clip that's why you guys didn't give any love they were well right because if they showed any of it people would have been like oh he's straight

up saying he's not political exactly saying i have no opinion on k and what's happening. It'll be fleshed out in court. And then he sat here and we interviewed him and he said, here's what I saw. Here's what happened. That's it. And that was a major, that's one of our biggest clips. And so I look to what they're doing. I used to do the same thing. I used to go down on the ground and I would report on all this stuff.

It got dangerous. Of course, now The Intercept, Glenn Greenwald quit. It's become a vicious political monster full of lies and manipulation. And now real journalists have emerged that are threatening the narrative, defending the extremists. So going back to what you were talking about with Marxists taking over, that's why I wanted to talk about this. They can't have real journalists. Yeah. The irony is, isn't that why the intercept was made? Isn't that why Glenn Greenwald did this and found funding and did this was so that we could have real reporting so that people would do things without fear and they would go after the real power structures that try to keep people from knowing what's going on.

That's what it was for. And this is the group now who's divorced themselves so far from what their actual mission was that they're now attacking people. I'm sorry. You want to talk about an organization that divorced themselves from the mission. There's a group. It's called Free Press. I've known many of the people at Free Press for a long time.

The name of their organization, Free Press. They would fight censorship and defend the First Amendment and the right to report and all that good stuff. They have a website, freepress.net. If they agree with you. I remember when they used to be, it's been a long time, but I've interviewed people there. I had several meetings with many of the people who worked at this organization. And then one day I saw one of their top people who I had known for some time

demanding censorship, that Alex Jones be banned. And I said, that's strange. Why are you advocating for censorship? I thought you were free press. Something happened to this organization where it became woke. And their mission was no longer about supporting free speech. It was about shutting down hate speech. How did that happen?

I don't know. But you look at The Intercept and you look at how Glenn Greenwald, he's like, hey, we're doing the Snowden documents. We're going to make fearless reporting. We're going to start this organization. And it got so bad, the dude quit. Glenn Greenwald, who founded The Intercept, quit his own company. And now he's doing independent work. And they call him alt-right and far-right or whatever. Which is hilarious because he's on the left politically. I mean, very clearly, self-ad which is hilarious because he's he's on the left politically i mean very clearly self-evidently yeah and he disagrees a lot on policy with things that i would believe in but he's what i would like my opposition to be we can actually have

a conversation on policy we can actually find some kind of solution within our differences say hey we actually agree on this one part of it let's at least implement that you can't do that when the other group of people behave the way that we see the current party behaving or i mean you whatever the intercept is i mean this video was look in the video the guy says this guy robert mackie he's like the videos they produce are distortions and activists have taken up cameras to combat these distortions. Then he says much of the footage we got from January 6th at the Capitol was from these riot squad people because the right trusted them. And I'm like, well, hold on. Either they're reporting both sides or it's a distortion, but it can't be both.

And if it is a distortion, what this guy is reporting now, the Intercept has said that the footage depicted from these journalists on January 6th is unreliable distortions, not telling us the truth. Okay, let's get rid of it as evidence. The FBI shouldn't be allowed to use it. In fact, if one of these guys,

like if I was one of these people on trial, whatever, I'd have my lawyer be like, Your Honor, take a look at this reporting from the Intercept. Clearly, these videos are fabrication and distortions as The Intercept has reported. You can't trust these videos. Sorry. We don't know what happened.

Release the old ladies. You've gone solitary. Seriously. It shows you that these people have no principles. They never did. But more importantly, it shows the divide between the moral frameworks of the disparate factions and the culture war why you and i probably have different politics on several issues glenn greenwald clearly but glenn would easily have a conversation about all these things we can disagree

on policy but when our moral frameworks are very similar then we're able to have that conversation because the goal is actually to improve the system when you're when your ideology is built on just having power and oppressing those who oppose you, then you will lie, cheat, and steal to take whatever you want. It also kind of highlights a problem in corporate law. This is a little bit of a side note, but that you can sell a company to a new owner with a new ethos, and they can have the same name, company name,

but it's a different company. I mean, it might have the same IP, but the company is the people that run the company for the most part i mean that's what company is so that disturbs me maybe we should change it so that you have to change the name of a company if it gets sold because disney's not disney walt disney's dead i'll be honest i've never thought about that that's it's an interesting thing to think about you know i think i'd have to think about that one in terms of like i knew a i knew a guy who had a cyber security company and what he told me was there was a hostile takeover.

The company was stripped and sold off for parts basically, but it was still a publicly traded company. So then someone else who wanted to start a new company just bought it and then started doing probiotics. So it's like if you were an investor in this company and you were interested in cybersecurity, one day you woke up and they were selling probiotics and you were like, what? It's not the same company. Different product, different people, different money, different part of the country, but it is the same company on paper. That's interesting. That's bizarre. I've never thought about that.

But you're totally right that Disney is not the same company at all as what Walt Disney envisioned. Not even really close. And The Intercept. Yeah, and The Intercept and the intercept yeah obviously 180 from what 100 was looking I have been noticing that Glenn Greenwald now has this really unique position where he can critique the intercept perfectly because he knows them inside and out so he's been tweeting at them he's like you guys are doing this wrong you know this is unethical and And you've now put, you know, this target on the backs of these really serious, really invested reporters who've been doing really bad. And they've worked hard. They have. They have put themselves in so much danger.

And I'm saying this as somebody like, I don't know them. I've watched their work. I've seen what they've done. I have not seen one thing from any of them that shows that they have a personal political persuasion to what's going on okay actually try very hard to make sure it's not a part of the which is like if anything you know if i saw some people on the left doing that i would i'd have respect for what they're doing you know somebody like glenn he's at least open when he is being political right about why and what the reasoning is can't have the truth man but you know how do you manipulate people and so

it's just the the duplicitousness of this report from this robert mackie guy where he's like they're distortions and they're also the source of all the evidence from january 6th yeah yeah okay you're full of it i i think the only clear determination is if people like richie are going to cover the left and the right and it'll be used as evidence against people on the right. He's clearly just a journalist. He's just telling people what's going on. The problem is they like it when he makes the right look bad. They have to forgive that. They don't like it when he makes Black Lives Matter look bad. They have to condemn that. The real problem is that real journalism is a threat to their ability to attain power, consolidate power and keep it. Because if

you have real journalism going on, you have real reporting that's unbiased, that is one of the most dangerous things to them. And that's why it's been all but eliminated. If regular people knew what they were doing, it would be over. And that's the problem. So they need to do everything in their power to obfuscate the truth so that regular people don't know what's going on. I mean, you look at Kyle Rittenhouse, right? So I'm on Reddit and I see a story and it's like Kyle Rittenhouse blah blah blah and the top comment is the dude literally cross state lines the gun to hunt down

protesters it's not hard or something like that and I'm like none of that is true he worked in Kenosha it was someone else's gun he was asked to defend a building he rendered aid to some of the rioters it's a complicated story but in order to push your agenda you need Kyle R Ness to be the villain.

You need the lies. Yep. And who fired first? It wasn't Kyle. Yep, exactly. I don't remember the guy's name, but he fired. It looks like into the air. It might not have been into the air.

So a lot of people thought it was because there's a grainy footage where you see a flash and think it's going up. But I read one report that said he actually fired directionally. It doesn't really matter, honestly brandished he fired and if you have a weapon and you perceive that person as a threat and then you have a mob of people there who want to hurt you you have a duty and a right to defend yourself you know that's not hard to figure out i think kyle will get life you do absolutely look at look you look at what's going on now with chauvin and these other other cops did you did you hear the latest yeah i i feel differently about that than i do the rittenhouse case i think that on the rittenhouse case there's going to be somebody on that jury hopefully multiple people who go and look at this by the

letter of the law and say this kid was defending himself maybe because in the other case i think they're gonna if it's they're gonna give him the worst in the Floyd case. If the trial is in the Kenosha, Kenosha is 50-50 between Democrat and Republican. So then you'll at least have someone in the jury being like, no, I'm not convicting this kid. So a hung jury at the very least. However, I think most people will probably just be cowards. And when they're in the deliberations, someone's going to go,

okay, so who doesn't want their house burned down? All right, guilty. All right, let's get out of here. That is the biggest fear, which tells you everything about where we are in terms of what time it is during this color revolution. We're at the point where mobs run justice. So if we have mob run justice, what's the next step? What does the future look like for people if you don't stand up now? And that's my argument to people is like now is the time to do it because if you're going to wait until people knock on your door, that's going to be too late.

This is my issue currently with police departments. We see it mostly in major cities, but I wouldn't be surprised if it comes even to Tennessee. What do you think is going to happen when in Kenosha, which is fairly Republican in many – it's like 50-50. They're burning down buildings. The police didn't stop them. It was for days they were doing this. So then regular people are going to say, I don't want my building burned down. Just make it stop.

Throw the kid in jail. Whatever. Fine. I don't care. You look at these stories where, like in Milwaukee, the Black Lives Matter people were outside this guy's home. He brandished a shotgun through the window. The cops went into his house and arrested him while they cheered for this. It's insane.

And that group of people previously, someone in that group had set fire to another house they were protesting it so this guy probably was actually scared and brandished a shotgun maybe he shouldn't have pointed it directly at them but he gets arrested he was at his house though he was in his own house brandish all away you know somebody's threatening your house brandish away in tennessee we have very clear laws about that type of thing you don't even have to be inside the house um to have things start to pop off so so we're seeing this more and more where the cops are going to sit down and there's going to be three or four cops and they're going to see a riot and they're going to go what's the right man about well some guy said you know a racial slur. Well, what do we do? Well, he's allowed to

do it. It's the First Amendment, but they won't stop rioting. If we arrest the guy, will they stop? They might just arrest the guy. And the cops are going to be like, sir, you're under arrest. That's what happened in Milwaukee. The guy was in his own home and they were outside of his house. People who had previously burned down another house or set fire to another house. They didn't burn it down, but they set fire to it twice. And so he's probably scared. And he's the one who gets arrested. Look at the McCloskeys. They enter private property. They're walking on private property and they come out with guns and they're in trouble. Now, maybe people are going to be like in Missouri, you can't do that fine, whatever. In West Virginia, you definitely can. If people walk onto your property, you can

walk up to them with your gun points and get off my property. Same with Tennessee, 100%. So it's different in different states. I think it should be that if you enter my property, I can pull up my weapon and say, turn around right now or I will defend my property. In New Jersey, for instance, where we were before this, the reason we left is that they call it a partial castle doctrine, which basically means it's not. If someone breaks into your home, you are legally obligated to retreat from your own home. Where? That doesn't matter. That's called fleeing.

That's not retreat. You retreat back. So you're in your underwear. You're in bed. Your door is kicked open. And you go, what do I do? Well, you can't use lethal force. That's insane.

Go into the closet? Insane. You have to leave your house. You have to leave your house. Only if you can prove you had no opportunity to leave your home safely are you allowed to then use lethal force to defend yourself which means you'll be arrested charged and then you can are charged and then you can argue to the judge why you were why you were in your right to defend yourself in your own home in tennessee your car also counts as part of your castle wow nice so um somebody tries to get in your car car jackie you can shoot him in the face

and you're good yikes um if that's allowed in tennessee in west virginia you're allowed to shoot to stop someone from from entering your property which is like what i always tell people like don't trespass out here okay in new york people trespass and they laugh about i'm like don't do that in west virginia i don't think anyone's gonna shoot you because people aren't insane but they'll be legally allowed to do it if you go into their property so don't do it yeah they'll probably just walk out with a shotgun and be like you got 10 seconds yeah off my property yeah you mentioned earlier that this is like a playbook this whole demoralization tactic basically what's going on you build the legs so that you can knock one out and close the system and and i wanted to

what other situations have you noticed this playbook being played in terms of our society yeah in our society all over like look at look at how let's start with academia okay first thing they do introduce the idea that kids need to see each other is the color of their skin instead of their actual character okay so critical race theory steps in then you push in gender ideology in california as young as first grade you're teaching them with a gender bred man, teaching them that, well, you're actually not just male or female. You can be any of these things that sound fun. So you pick. And that's something that the parent actually has no right to opt their child out of now in California.

OK, it used to be in California. You could opt out when we lived there. My son at five years old had two children in his class come out as trans kids. Okay. Five years old. My son wanted to be a hot dog. I told Lydia that he wanted to be a hot dog. And what they're doing is they're creating paths of division.

Exactly. And so everything becomes divided entirely. My older daughter in California, her school, they had a guy come in and tell everybody they have white privilege and tell the white kids they shouldn't sit together unless they let it have a minority at the table because it could make minorities feel like they're not invited. Okay. Again, teaching the kids, see each other as different by these exterior characteristics, not internal. So that's what matters. It's going back to segregation or racism in a whole weird, different regressive way. But all of this is built to weaken society. And then same thing with just the messaging about family,

that a family no longer is this unit, that it can be anything. You can just make up whatever you want and it is whatever it is. You can call yourself a dad no matter what you are. It doesn't matter. Nothing has a real definition. There's no shared language.

Language is the next one. We can't even agree on language, the definition of what things mean. We were just talking about that before the show, that there's all shared language. Language is the next one. We can't even agree on language, the definition of what things mean. We were just talking about that before the show. They're like, there's all these words somebody could use without even knowing they're using a word that offends somebody because the language keeps changing. They change the language intentionally so that we can't communicate effectively because shared languages is the key to us having a cultural sort of peace amongst each other divide and conquer yeah and and this goes across everything like look at entertainment and entertainment here's another thing 15 years 20 years of subtly giving impressions to little kids teenagers and adults

where along the way you teach them things and you do it really subtly over the course of their life so like i can give you an example really recent history like the recent scooby-doo movie they give multiple impressions to ruth bader ginsburg being a hero of women's rights then they go to talking about yeah in scooby-doo which which then they talk the most recent one and then they talk about tinder in it okay and then they talk about toxic masculinity those are the three things they hit in that movie that are subtle points for a kid to bring in. These impressions are in everything a kid consumes. And coming from Hollywood, I'm like totally acutely aware of all of this. They do this throughout their life. And then what happens at school, their professors, their teachers who are remarkably on the left, they reinforce those values that entertainment

is giving them. A lot of those, if your family tends to have somewhat conservative values, even if you're like a blue dog Democrat, their kids then push back against those values and think your values are inherently wrong there's something wrong with them because everything i watch and everything at school tells me that this is bad again dividing families dividing our culture and the sort of ability to have peace amongst each other quite a bit the opposite of judeo-christian values you know notably like honor thy father and thy mother exactly now it's your mom is dumb and your parents are racist and don't tell them i told you otherwise they'll say racist things exactly trick you and parents are putting their kids in these schools like stop sending your kids to these

places man yep i don't know it goes both ways to an entertainment too and school stop giving money to people who hate you if they hate you don't give them your money it's one of the biggest mistakes people make like you can't be a lazy, don't give them your money. It's one of the biggest mistakes people make. Like you can't be a lazy person right now. You have to stand up for what you believe in. And if a company comes out, some woke corporation, they say X is racist or this is bad. And they come out and they take social positions they know nothing about. Then divorce from them.

Get a divorce with your TV, divorce Netflix, whatever it is in your life where this happens. Or it's a university an, a university, your kid goes to same thing, take them out, pull them out, go to a different school. What are some examples like historically where countries have gone through this? China, China went through a color revolution. Cuba went through it. Venezuela went through this. I mean, pretty much you can go through the playbook of all these countries who eventually turned to, you know, left-wing dictatorships, whether they be socialists in the beginning or communists, they all pretty much went through this. It was a cultural revolution that kicked it off. And they hit all of those pillars of culture,

entertainment, academia, and, you know, our news media. Those are the places that they weaken first because those control perception and perception is reality for too many people. It's not so much like a big mistake. And we talked about this earlier, too, is that this idea that facts over feelings is something that is going to draw over people who are not on your side already is is actually kind of a broken idea. Because a lot of the conditioning that's been out there has been that you're taught that these feelings and movies and feelings from all these different places that you listen to as a child are reality. So you need to message an emotional message that reaches people in a way that says, hey, emotionally, this is how you put this policy in context. The left does that really well. We don't. There's one thing, however, that's very different for the United States

than many of these other countries. We have gun culture. It's not just the guns because many of these countries did have them, and then they got taken away. No, we have gun culture. We have people who have tons of guns and will say something like Molon Labe. Was it Molon Labe? Is that how you pronounce it?

Yeah. Or my cold dead hands. So it's going to be very, very difficult to pull off what they pulled off in, say, China where they took old people and put them in dunce caps and then strung them up in the city and started screaming and laughing at them and mocking them until they bent the knee and agreed to communism. Because you're going to get some old fat trucker guy who's going to be like, I don't care. He's going to pull out a gun and be like, get away from me. It makes me think that it's happened historically, like throughout millennia, that the founding fathers saw that and were like, we need to enshrine a couple of basics so that we can circumvent or at least resist when this starts to happen there were some founding fathers that didn't want a bill of rights and there were some that were like we don't want the federal government have too much power so we need a list i think there

was originally 17 and they condensed them got rid of some and now we had then we had 10 and the right to keep in bare arms shall not be infringed but hey they're infringing quite a bit ain't they every single day they're infringing more and more and they're messaging why are they messaging so hard on gun control it's because they're fully aware that that's the one element that's a wild card in america versus all these other places this has happened the more they can clamp down on that and narrow the culture that's why a registry is very important too having a registry that says exactly what people have where they have it that's important to them because that would be really essential if you actually went all the way with this but that search for control that's the wild card is people having guns here and it's something i

tell people all the time is like these people who have been overtaking these other countries and who have died or gone to gulags they wish they had had guns when people came to their house don't give up your guns whatever you do whatever you, whatever time you think it is right now in America, don't give up your guns. Hitler, I think, established a national registry, didn't he, for the guns? He did. And he also he did take guns. There was confiscation in Jewish areas. So he did the same thing.

Castro took guns. I mean, this is this is an ongoing thing, you know. And of course, they always talk about safety. Right. For safety and for the community to be more just and more happy. They go with all the same stuff that they push now. Just we do it in a lot prettier way in modern times. They do flashy ads and emotional pleas that, well, this kills kids.

What's amazing, and I always ask people about this, is why have you never heard them talk about handgun control when that's the majority of the deaths from guns come from handguns they don't start there because they know what a like that's that's not happening they know that's not the first step it's kind of what you said it's incrementalism let's start with the gun that looks scary even though knives and stabbings kill four times as many people as ar-15s let Let's start there because it looks scary. So that's the incremental first step. And one of the challenges is that the gun control people are really dumb. And a lot of them are like lemmings. You know, you ever played the game Lemmings where they just walk and follow each other?

Because you'll hear a lot of the same things from the same people that make no sense. They'll be like, no self-respecting hunter whatever he was an assault weapon and then the first question is like okay first of all what does that have to do with second amendment i thought that was about it didn't say it didn't say uh deer hunting being necessary to protect a free state the right to keep in bear arms shall not be infringed it said you know a well-regulated well-regulated militia the right of the people to keep it bare arms so i don't know where hunting comes from. Then they say assault weapon. What is an assault weapon? There's no –

In their mind, it has to look scary. Look scary means assault weapon. Yeah, and you'll say like, are you talking specifically about like a carbine with like a folding stock or something? Like what is that a reference? And they'll say, yeah, that. Okay, well, what is it? They won't know. Then they'll say, but still, you know no hunter would use an assault weapon.

And I'm like, well, based on your definition or like, say, New Jersey's definition, you're completely correct. They're going to use like an AR-15 chambered in like 308 or Bushmaster, which by their definition is not an assault weapon, but it's much, much more powerful. You have no idea what you're talking about. These people are insane. It's because at the end of the day, it has nothing to do with actually preventing gun crime. It has to do with the slow incremental push to take guns out of people's hands. And it's not the criminals they want to take the hands out of because they're not worried about them pushing back. No, they like the radical government.

Crime is good. They love that part. Crime is a destabilizing factor here. What have they done? And there's another question people should ask themselves if they're curious, you know, about gun control and they haven't really decided where they are is ask yourself, what was the last push Democrats made to get rid of illegal guns in cities and places like Chicago or Baltimore or Memphis? When was the last time they did that? And there hasn't been this big push to get rid of illegal guns who are on the street because of gangs. What's an illegal gun? A gun that they stole, you know, a stolen gun, something somebody else's property.

So OK, so the gun isn't the issue. No, no, the gun's not. I'm saying why are they not going after the fact that, you know, these gangs, they in many cases have stash houses where they have tons of firearms that they've stolen. They don't try and go get those back. Well, that's a property crime. Exactly. I think they should have those guns.

The stolen guns? Well, I don't think they should have stolen property. But, again, so there's a difference between the property crime and gun ownership. Yeah, no, they should be allowed to have guns legally. If they get caught in a crime, then you take it away. But the fact that they're stolen and they know where these gangs are and they don't go in and take their guns. Why do they want to go abiding guns? This is just sort of a thought practice.

You know, an exercise for people is like they want to take away my ar-15 but they don't want to take away this guy's gun who stole it in a car jacket well hold on i just think they're they're they broadly want to take a take away everyone's ar-15s the problem is there's no way to stop a criminal from getting a gun oh no absolutely not no but the fact that they have no effort the fact they make no effort to even stop the gang crime with guns tells you everything about why they they go after things like ar-15s well it's it's questionable is a gun buyback trying to stop it they do that um they arrest people and charge them for having guns i don't think they should sometimes the only crime a person commits is they had a gun and i'm like how's that a crime having yeah that's not

but that's a lot of what they do so it it doesn't work. Yeah, there's still. And Chicago isn't predominantly gang crime. It's like honor crime. It's like you insulted me. So I'll go and shoot up your house. That's what people do. So either way, I'm like, that's going back to like the abolish the police stuff. I'm like, shouldn't conservatives just be on personal responsibility at this point?

If there's no cops, then there's no gun laws. I do think we should let certain areas test it out. If a city wants to have no police, they vote to have no police, then go ahead and try it. Knock yourselves out. You're going to find out really fast that the police kept you safe for a very long time. I'll tell you what. You weaken them to this point.

You're going to end up with what the UK has. They'll have little batons and they'll do nothing but come to your house and tell you that you insulted somebody online. This is the big difference between the culture war factions. So Glenn Greenwald, he's pretty much left, right? But he's not on the left culture or whatever you want to call it. I'm like center left liberal, but clearly not in that fashion either. And there's one really easy way to understand it.

Those people are morons. Why? They want to abolish police and they want to ban guns. Well, if you get rid of the cops, who takes the guns away? You think a social worker is going to show up to my house and be like, your gun, sir? I'm going to be like, it's back the way it came like have a nice day yeah so how how do you have these people who advocate for contradictory things they're morons they have

no idea what they're talking about they're a chaotic destructive force of tribalists now to be fair to the leftists the actual like dsa types they're all pro-gun carl marx has a quote that you know uh under no under no pretext shall the workers give up arms and ammunition or should arms and ammunition be given up. Workers should frustrate this by force if necessary. So the true leftists are like never giving up my guns. But the problem is those people fall in line with Joe Biden, the Democrats, because they're easily convinced by the establishment it's the left or at least left enough. I also don't think they want us to have guns. That's the other part of it.

They're not going to go fight for us to have a right to have a gun because at the end of the day they want them to have the guns. The Gravel Institute tweeted that what happened on January 6th was the right thing to do but by the wrong people. So it shows you everything about what the left actually believes. And so there's a difference between

the actual left and the culture war left and like Democrats. It's hard to quantify this. I know. But the DSA people will gladly vote for Democrats and support warmongering authoritarians because they're like, at least I'm closer to minimum wage. Like, oh, congratulations. The political party thing bothers me that people that have these ideals would align with another person that doesn't just because they both call themselves Democrats. Like who cares? It's trying to win a game. There is one thing I think is that's very important, provides an exit from the system and could protect you or at least in my opinion will protect me.

And it's Bitcoin, obviously. And so I really want to talk about the story with Elon Musk because I think Elon Musk is scamming people. That's my personal opinion. Elon Musk is trying to scam people. Hey, look, man, I thought Elon was funny on SNL because it's funny to watch him. I think he's cool for doing a lot of things. I think Tesla and SpaceX are awesome.

But I think Elon should be criticized when he does things that are bad. And I think he's trying to rip people off. So we have the story from Bloomberg. Musk sends Bitcoin tumbling with shock U-turn on payments. You may have seen the tweet. He said Tesla and Bitcoin. Let me pull up his tweet here. I tweeted mocking him.

And he said, Tesla has suspended vehicle purchases using Bitcoin. We are concerned about rapidly increasing use of fossil fuels for Bitcoin mining and transactions, especially coal, which has the worst emissions of any fuel. Cryptocurrency is a good idea on many levels, and we believe it has a promising future, but this cannot come at a great cost to the environment. Tesla will not be selling any Bitcoin, and we intend to use it for transactions as soon as mining transitions to more sustainable energy. We are also looking at other cryptocurrencies that use less than 1% of Bitcoin's energy per transaction.

He then posts this. So that was yesterday. Then he posts this. Energy usage trend over the past few months is insane. And you can see Bitcoin electricity consumption has skyrocketed dramatically. The only problem, Harvard Business Review covered this only about eight days ago, saying that there's two reports. One says 39% of energy used for Bitcoin is renewable. And another report says 73% is renewable. Why? It's kind of obvious. If you have a mining operation, you don't want supply

disruption. You don't want to rely on power outages. So you go to places where you have a consistent energy supply, notably hydroelectric dams, where a consistent electricity supply, renewable. It's not so much that they're like, I don't like carbon. It's like, I want a reliable supply of energy. Here's what happens. People like Elon Musk, he comes out and he says, Tesla will now accept Bitcoin. The price sky rockets. Then they sell a bunch, make a bunch of money and say, see, look. Then they come out and say, oh, no, the environment. Oh, geez. Oh, they're using coal for electricity.

Oh, no, we got to stop. Then the price tanks back down. And all the rich people who don't need their assets liquefied say, I don't care. Think about it this way. If you're somebody who makes 500 bucks a week and you see what's happening with the US dollar and buying power, and you see what's happening with Bitcoin, you're like, I'm going to buy some Bitcoin. So you do. Then Elon Musk makes his announcement and the price drops. It's like 12% or something.

And you're like, I'm going to lose 60 bucks. So you panic sell and you still end up losing 60 bucks because you need liquid cash in your life. You're not rich. You only got a few hundred dollars. Millionaires, billionaires. Well, they can pay their rent and their mortgages and their car bills and still keep millions of dollars in crypto. Even when the price drops, they're going to shrug and go, I don't care. And they'll buy the dip. Yep. That's right.

They'll buy the dip 100%. They'll buy it back up. This is how they keep people poor. Because people see Elon Musk and they panic and they sell. Now, some people, a lot of people are getting wise to the game. I remember back when Bitcoin hit 20K, people were like morghing their homes. Then you get news about like countries banning Bitcoin or whatever and they panic. And they sell and they lose tons of money. And if you did buy Bitcoin and held it

and it went up to even now at 47, 48, even though it's dropped from 60, you're still double your money. It's probably going to go up. So that's why all of the smart people and all the rich people, they buy the dip. But don't be surprised when you see governments, billionaires, banks make an announcement

about how they're getting rid of Bitcoin. Then poor people who aren't smart enough panic and sell it. And they laugh as they buy it all back up. That's the cycle. They need a way to control the market because they control the stock market. They need the same control over crypto. And they found it, you know. And I think that you're right.

You identified something important. Like Elon has been great on a lot of things. But I'm glad I have alerts set. And I got and saw that one immediately. And I was like, Oh, this is bad. This is the worst thing he's done in recent times in terms of his public

persona. This could shift a lot of the way people think about him because it was very clearly, he knew what was going to happen. He had to know. And if he doesn't, then he should probably shut his Twitter down for a couple of days and think about it.

Now get this. Now he's saying that he's going to be, he's working with, with Doge devs to fix Doge. Think about what he's doing. He's pumping Doge. He's pumping Doge. They called him the Doge father

on SNL, even though the price went down. Apparently his son is mining Doge. It's really, really obvious. Doge is trading right now for 40 cents, meaning you can easily buy thousands upon thousands of doge then you get doge up to 100 bucks or whatever you make tons of huge return huge return huge return way more than bitcoin at this point so there was there was a period where bitcoin was dropped was jumping

ridiculously fast so from november till now bitcoin's gone up substantially like hundreds of percent but there was a period where it's like it was at $1 and it could jump to $50. That's a 50x return. Now that Bitcoin's trading much, much higher, it's harder for those swings. It's starting to stabilize, right? So what happens is people start buying altcoins that are trading for like a fraction of a penny. So if it's trading for the smallest decimal point, it can only double.

It'll double your money. So now Elon's probably, in my opinion opinion looking at bitcoin going it bitcoins great but is there a coin we can get and pump it up really really fast doge coins trading at five cents tons of people will buy it we can make a movement we can put out a tweet everybody buys it so apparently one dude became a millionaire and like was posting about it yeah he had he had he had the right amount of doge and then it broke a certain amount and he made a million bucks so when one of the big guys at goldman sachs left because he made millions yeah yep so it seems to me like this announcement is more so we can pump doge but doge is inflationary there's no cap it they produce what is it like what are they doing

14 million per day or something yeah i don't know somebody i'm pretty sure they can just keep going with it right they can just keep going just keep going yeah and so people are going to go in they're going to cash out quick and i think doge is funny i still have thousands of doge and i'll hold on to it because who knows if elon musk is doing this i'll hold on to it i guess but i still think i think bitcoin is going to reach a million bucks i gotta say doge is trash it is absolute useless trash as a token it may change in the future it's not a token or as a coin yeah whatever it's it's gunk it has no value functionally i disagree it only has like monetary value it doesn't do anything it's basically well monetary is a lot of value no no it's an inflationary cash yeah it doesn't it doesn't do anything it's basically well monetary is a lot of value no no it's an inflationary cash yeah all that it doesn't have any technical value it's better i i think maybe

it will in the future maybe better than us dollars well the u.s dollar has zero technical value as well yes so i'd rather have i'd rather have doge than us dollars too right that's why i'm like i'm gonna keep my i don't want the dollars within the closed system of crypto let's get it out ahead of this doge is junk i don't know why elon's tro out ahead of this. Doge is junk. I don't know why Elon's trolling people like this. No, I disagree with you. It's because it returns. It's like, I mean, and it's the memeable. It's so memeable, you know, with the dog.

That's the trick with it. And he's making poor people rich, which is like up kind of inverting the monetary scheme of this consolidation of wealth to the top. He's like giving the i mean that's debatable he's honestly making way more rich people rich than poor people rich honestly if i'm being real like somebody like me like during the dip yesterday i could buy a bunch and make way more back on my return in terms of spending power than somebody who makes 500 a week or something you know we talked about this like last week that there are programs that automatically buy and sell yeah so imagine this uh elon announces the bitcoin thing the price dropped like 47 it dropped so low it probably triggered a bunch of people to auto buy it jumped

back up to like 51 then what started going down it triggered an auto sell so people right then were making three grand per coin automatically without even doing anything, without even thinking because the price fluctuations in the volatility. So when someone like Elon knows he can tweet and cause prices to go crazy, you know for a fact that Elon Musk knew when he tweeted this, it would drive the price down. And all of his friends did. And how many people that knew Elon was going to do this sold their coins because how do you track it sold at 58k and then said okay Elon you're good to go Elon post it it drops a for it and they buy back in yep and then Elon sends a text I think I'm gonna pump doge today but he doesn't say pump

but you know what I mean he's like on the phone and he's like I'm gonna let people know I'm gonna do this with this and then they go and they buy that so And then that rides. I think Bitcoin. I have a decent amount of Bitcoin. I have a decent amount of Ethereum. And I have Doge and I have Cardano. And those are the things that I'm looking at. I think Doge is inflationary. I think Doge is going to have value based on confidence and the memeability.

Elon might pump it up. But I wouldn't advocate for the function of Doge. It's just funny. Yeah, 100%. But Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Cardano are the ones that I do have confidence in. And I think a lot of these tokens are bunk. You've got to be careful about tokens. I don't know if Cardano is actually a token or if it's an actual crypto.

I think it's its own crypto. It functions as a proof-of proof of state crypto like ethereum but uh a lot of these tokens like shiba i think shiba is a token right i don't know i just saw it recently so tokens you can just click a button and boop you have tokens yeah i think it is yeah i don't know enough about tokens tokens i'm gonna have to educate myself on more so with like uh with a cryptocurrency it's truly decentralized like bitcoin yeah you have you can create the code and then start the program and then do the proof of stake or proof of work to get it. They can be centralized still even if they're coins, but Bitcoin is truly decentralized. Cardano is a utility token because it helps to facilitate smart contracts.

This is very convoluted to me. Yeah, but is it its own independent blockchain like Ethereum or is it – It's not on the Ethereum network as far as I know. So I don't think it's actually a token. A token typically refers to someone goes on a computer and presses enter and then poof, a bunch of tokens appear. Okay. Whereas – Interesting.

The coins are like Doge and Bitcoin where you do some work, proof of work or proof of stake to generate them. But I don't know maybe it's just semantics yeah i got that info from nasdaq.com is that it was a token maybe i'm wrong in my terminology yeah we're crypto experts but i will say this a lot of people are first and foremost probably the the main reason i'm saying these these three tokens is because like when you pull up coinbase or whatever they're like the top listed or something. And so I'm looking at establishment support, and I'm not going to pull up some no-name token or crypto and be like, oh, that's the one. Yeah.

And I think a lot of people do that because they'll buy a bunch at a cheap price and then try claiming this is the one. I just went on Coinbase, and I was like, here's the top performing. Here's the top that people are looking at. And I was like, all right. I read about them, and I bought the clear. I got a quick explanation from bitdegree.org, which I've never heard of before. Is this Bitcoin College?

Yeah, let's do this. The difference between a coin and a token. Coins are native to their own blockchain while tokens have been built on top of another blockchain. Right. So I don't think Cardano is built on another blockchain. It's its own thing. I just saw it was a token. Who knows?

Maybe. Let's get the developers of Cardano if you guys are listening come on fake news yeah then maybe maybe i don't i don't want it but i but i have uh a decent amount i don't i i went out like years and years ago i bought a bunch of ridiculous things i think i have someone i think i think i do have an account with like um do you know what bsv is or whatever i have bitcoin cash only because bitcoin forked and then you get Bitcoin cash or whatever. What's a BSV like an overseas thing to buy cryptos?

No, it's a fork of Bitcoin. So basically there have been several civil wars in Bitcoin where people are like, this is not the true vision of Satoshi in the white paper. So I'm taking the existing network and forking it off and it clones the network but

creates a separate coin so if it happens and you're holding bitcoin the split you'll have equal amounts bitcoin cash and bitcoin and then people just made money overnight yeah so this is the craziest thing when when when bitcoin and bitcoin cash forked all of a sudden people's money doubled like because now they had twice as many coins yeah and then there was a weird fluctuation between the two of people trying to figure out which one was going to win and then bitcoin clearly took over because bitcoin is bitcoin and everything else is just claiming to be something good or better so anyway long story short regarding this elon thing i want to play a little juan williams here i think maybe he really truly believes that

it is destroying the environment. There's too much coal being burned and he wants to pressure the industry to move towards renewables and he's using this as a heavy hand. I think that's more the mentality than let's get rich. But have you seen his mining operations

for Tesla batteries? I mean, these are not friendly at all to the environment. And I have a Tesla. I'm saying this you know like i'm fully honest about this but it's not exactly environmentally friendly how the batteries are made but on top of that it was a few years ago elon replied to somebody about the output and the energy that it takes to uh mine a bitcoin and he actually agreed with them that it was energy efficient that's the that's the term they use so it's interesting that he changed his mind now when you know the mining practices have only trended towards more energy efficient since then not less efficient it seems

like people have been in his ear yeah like that's what it feels like it feels like somebody's actually pushing this but i think he also has to be smart enough with his platform, his reach, his ability to shake the crypto market. He's got to know that if you jump onto something like this, you're going to hurt a lot of normal people. And that's the one warning I do have about Doge to people. It's like, yes, you can get really high returns. But if you're the type of person who's not invested very much in your life i would advise not getting involved because it's very volatile and you can get really scared when you have a dip where it feels like oh my god i'm losing 25 of my savings or you can go to the casino

if you want to play the game so uh bitcoin is a decentralized coin so there's no one who has strong control over it there's there's about 51% attacks and quantum computing, how it could be disruptive. Ethereum is they're building software on top of it. Cardano is basically the same thing. I was just looking it up. It's like the co-founder created his own version of it. And the reason why I think Ethereum is so great is that they build programs on top of it. Cardano is basically the same thing

so i'm looking at that and i'm like all right you know i think these things have a function more so than bitcoin but bitcoin is still great i'm not i'm not super interested in a lot of these tokens where they're like trying to claim it'll do something you know other than can you build programs on top of it so there's a lot of tokens that exist within the ethereum network and i'm always like yeah but ethereum is the is the main driver of all that. So don't take advice from me. You do you. These are the things I'm looking at. And I'm a moron. So don't listen to me. Can I ask you a question? If I was, real quick, if I was a smart guy, I'd have bought Bitcoin in 2011 when I kept

talking about every opportunity I had to buy it and I didn't. What do you think will happen when a major government like, let's say, our own or maybe Germany introduces their own digital it's happening yeah it is central bank token but i mean when when it's out when it's out and people can buy it and it can be traded and it's on all the different things what do you think will happen to everything else they'll go up in value you think everything will go up in value yeah so uh bitcoin if, if Bitcoin goes up, everything goes up. If Bitcoin goes down, everything goes down.

So this is from CNBC. Wall Street banks brace for digital dollars as the next big disruptive force. They're talking about a central bank digital currency. I mean, dollars are already digital. There's just no blockchain for it. It's the banking ledgers that track everything. Yeah, but it's about feeling like they are their own crypto, which is actually why I would disagree in terms of them riding up or down together.

I think that when a government, a major government, releases one of these, they're actually going to have an inverse correlation where when one is performing well, the other will perform not as well, and vice versa. I think that it's going to feel a little bit more like they're counterweights to each other in a weird way. And I think they're hoping that that's how it'll work. Kind of like Tether? You follow Tether at all?

I'm trying to understand how it would tie in. I know a little bit about it. Tether is always worth one U.S. dollar. And Binance. They're both one dollar. Yeah, there's know a little bit about it. Like Tether is always worth one US dollar. And Binance. They're both one dollar. Yeah, there's actually a lot of them now. I think GUSD is one of them. And there's several now.

Those would correlate really well then. Yeah, and I would think that a central bank token would be like that. It would always be worth, it would be static value. And then all the other cryptos would fluctuate around that. You could always get a dollar's worth of that token possibly or they would all ride with almost like how the dollar works now except for their hope would be you know maybe there's a way to be able to make that more monetarily functional and also beyond that trackable you know like that's the real goal they want to be able to see what people are doing yes um and i just i don't think they're going to connect together in terms of going up in value together

down in value together i think that they're going to end up having a correlation where one goes up one goes down we'll see as it is that's in the future though that's coming if bitcoin goes up tether although it says it stays at one dollar has gone down because bitcoin has gone up the relative to each other yeah so well how about we take some super chats?

Where are we at next pack says you can see rod raw footage in gaza on snapchat map interesting roddy the rotsky says hey tim you've called people stupid for getting multiple canisters of gas not tupperware and different machines may need gas mixed with oil which will not work for other tools so i've called people stupid when they have like stacks and stacks of gas cans.

But I have said there was a story of a woman who was filling up a gas can and they screamed at her that she was hoarding gas when it was like she's like it's my lawnmower. So I've had, you know, like small mopeds where you got to mix the oil and the gas and all that. I totally get it. Yeah, I was actually thinking that when I saw a picture on Twitter the other day of somebody trashing somebody for getting one can of gas. I was like, I do that all the time for my daughter's ATV. I go and I grab the gas and I stick it in the back of the car and it smells terrible and I drive it home.

TexMarine says, Tim, have you had Enrique Tarrio on your show? Yes, we have. We have indeed. Oh, good God. Well, he's a very bad person according to the media, so you like bad people again apparently i'm dirty all right we got uh let's try and find some uh acme product says if gaza is an open air prison then why don't the egyptians let them out

that's a that's a very good question that is a very good question yeah why doesn't egypt open my guess is because israel doesn't want them to but i don't know oh israel would be fine with that yeah they don't want to leave that's really what it comes down to they believe it's their home and they're angry but ultimately you know if you truly believed that this was a prison and that you know that death was essentially like just around the next corner and that you know your kids are in danger and all those things like i me i don't care what my home is my kid's safety is number one i'd be out of there i'd be heading over to egypt and i'd be like i'm an egyptian now yeah you know that's just it defies sort of just common sense that we don't see a wave of people going you know what we're done

with this we're done with this behavior we're done with there being a fight all the time we're done with this constant struggle we're done with the being a fight all the time. We're done with this constant struggle. We're done with the Palestinian Authority paying for terrorists who kill Israelis. They pay them. You know, they pay somebody if they go and kill an Israeli soldier. They pay them for life. Okay? That's not a terror group.

That's the Palestinian Authority pays those. Okay? That says everything. So if that's the culture, there should be a huge wave of people saying, you know i've had enough i'm taking my family we're going somewhere else and there's not all right best auntie ever says washington government uh government or governor gov announced full opening 6 30 the day de blasio said they'd open 7-1 i said inslee would open earlier so he could say look what i did for you to beat other blue states. Inslee said the vaccine is a ticket to freedom.

Sick. Not surprised. Wow. Gerald Johnson says 1.2 million gallons of gas leaked from Colonial Pipeline and a week later it's cyber attack. Really? Do you want to look that up? Yeah, I'm going to. Let me look it up. That is interesting.

Jeremy McDude says if DarkSide wanted to hack into a better future they should hack isps and social media sites for people force people off the internet and get them to see what they're actually doing in the real world yeah but i think dark side's like we want money so we can spend it on things we like not change society so that we can't spend the money on things we like christopher marr says so you're saying they pushed trump out of office for the exact reason he got in the first place seems about correct the establishment did not like anything trump was doing until he fired missiles at syria then they were like all right that's pretty good that was why i mean every everybody on tv this is the day that he became the president of the united states

of america yep no no jim How many children were killed in this strike? We need to know. The more casualty there is, the more likely it was that there would be a protractor, a big old war out there, the more serious they look into the camera and say, he's done a great job today. Well, there's a guy on CNN.

This is not real. I'm making a joke, so you know this. And they're like, Donald Trump fired missiles into Syria. And the guy goes, still? I mean, he's trying to be presidential. And this is not enough. Well, just a minute there, sir. We have breaking news. 17 children were killed. Well, now, actually, I think Donald Trump is much more presidential now. How many children do you say? You know what, though? It is true. It is presidential. If you count Obama as presidential, then going and bombing children in the Middle East is presidential according to Obama standards.

There you go. If Trump wanted to be nearly as good as Obama, I guess he'd need to blow up more kids. Well, he didn't want to do that, so... Yeah, it looks like Colonial Pipeline did leak 1.2 million gallons of gas in Huntersville. Wow. I'm not sure where Huntersville is.

That's a lot. Wow. Do you know what like a normal pipeline spill is how many gallons it is that's the only thing i'm not sure about is like you know is that like a hundred million gallons for like a big one or it sounds like a lot but it's one of those weird things where like is it really actually i guess it was 17 times what they originally estimated that oh that's not good yes and then all of a sudden there's a cyber attack yeah that's a little odd.

Sus. Orion says, Tim, pay attention to Glenn Greenwald. In the U.S., he might be professional, but since he moved here to Brazil, he has been doing journalism as biased as possible to the left. Keep up the great work. Yeah, he's very anti... Who's the guy in Brazil? Bolsonaro.

Bolsonaro, yeah, yeah, yeah. Trump of the tropics. I mean, that I kind of don't pay attention to because it's not my country you know this goes back to my ideology of like part of running for office i'm anti-war i want to stay out of their business brazilians elected bolsonaro he's not going and pillaging the entire country it's none of our business there's a great jesus quote i mean it's not really a quote but they said he said this take the plank of wood out of your own eye before you try to take the mote of dust out of your friend's eye yeah it'd be great if we did that here in america freedom thoughts says tim the great and free state of missouri has full castle doctrine we're making

steps to oust the federal government's gun laws and all counties have met and talked about arresting federal authorities if they break the second amendment whoo i think it happened in ohio some they arrested some atf guys who are trying to like serve papers or something we should have sanctuary states for the second amendment absolutely i want tennessee to be absolutely the one we just passed concealed carry um what you know constitutional carry where anybody can get in tennessee we just pass it it'll become active on july 1st um and i think that that that's a win, but a bigger win would be saying, you know what? Feds can't come in.

They can't touch your guns. And we need to codify that in every state. You see, we talk about color revolutions and all that stuff, but based on the fact that we all got guns, it sounds more like a Civil War's a-brewin'. I'm not disagreeing with you in terms of where this can end up. And if you had asked me a few years ago, I probably wouldn't have been like, oh, yeah, that's definitely. But I see it now where it could end up there because we are different. And you can't put the genie back in the bottle on the gun. It's over 300 million guns in America.

Yeah, I think it's 400. It's probably close to 400. And that doesn't go back in the bottle. It's not going away. Me too. I'm a big believer. I'm actually, I'm a huge, I mean, not surprisingly, people who fled Cuba, family members, even second, third generation, they're very pro-gun, you know.

I got big news though. What is it? On Saturday, I'm going to pick up the Sig M400 that Crowder got for me a year ago. Is it present? Is it like a custom? So I was like, I was getting my first gun and I'm like, and so I was on Crowder's show and he's like, I got big news for you, buddy. We're getting you sent a Sig M400 to be in sent. And I was like, wow, awesome.

And I got sent to a shop that was too far away because of New Jersey's gun laws and the modifications had to be done to it. And so I was never able to get it. They called me up and they were like, we found this thing. And I was like, whoa, cool. Send it on over to my FFL. And they were like, you got it. I'm going to go pick it up.

We're going to film it. That's awesome. And I'm finally going to get the gun that Crowder sent me. That's awesome. It'll be great. You should get your name engraved on it. Yeah, you should. That'd be awesome.

No, we'll see. It'll be fun. We'll film picking it up and everything. And then we're going to go. Saturday. Okay. And then we're going to go sunday to the range and film a bunch of stuff yeah man i think west virginia just passed constitutional carry that's awesome i don't maybe they no no no i'm sorry i'm sorry they've had it already they've had it for a while another state that just did yeah utah or something yeah jesse kent says you absolutely have a right to

defend your life with deadly force in missouri miss, Kansas, and Oklahoma have less state firearms restrictions than Texas. Yeah, Texas, you had to actually go to a class and prove you could shoot, but now they're getting rid of that. It used to be like that in Tennessee, too. You'd have to go to a class. You'd have to go to the DMV and all that. Now, starting July 1st, it'll just be carry it. You own it legally, carry it around.

Very cool. And you can do it. it's open or concealed. Wow. BJC says Missouri law says you can't threaten lethal force unless you have a reason to use it. If you keep your gun pointed down, no issue. McCloskey's pointed at crowd but weren't in imminent danger. Imminent danger is an opinion. Yeah, that's an opinion.

100%. I think they were in imminent danger. I agree. Yeah. I think had they not had guns, their house could have been robbed. They could have been beaten. They could have been killed. 100%. Because they were in imminent danger i agree yeah i think had they not had guns um their house could have been robbed they could have been beaten they could have been killed because they were sitting on their patio so there are clearly already out they were outside eating when the crowd came and so you you see what happens when the crowd if you're a car on the street minding your own business they start banging on the windows in portland they smashed

the windows of some cars so So you're not going to be able to convince me that there's no reasonable fear of imminent danger. I don't know if they were in imminent danger, but I think they have a right as these people just minding their own business to see a huge crowd and be like, they're entering private property. I think there's imminent danger. If I was on a jury, I'd give them an award. Definitely not guilty verdict, but there'd be an award too. Has the jury reached a verdict? We have, Your Honor, but we have a question. The verdict we have is neither guilty nor not guilty.

It's actually... We'd like to pin a medal. Yeah, we'd like to give them a golden award, and the government should give them $10,000 each. Can we do that? And the judge is going to be like, let me check. And then there's a golden retriever comes in, and the golden retriever is like the bailiff, and then the's like a golden retriever comes in and the golden retriever is like you know the bailiff and then it ensues and then they're like it turns out there's no rule stopping the jury from a warring and then an old lady walks in i thought we agreed on a hundred thousand yeah

and then it's called like court bud oh yeah all right rasgriz says love the show tim on the topic of gun culture you should try and get car Carl Casarda from InRangeTV on. He has a different kind of personality when it comes to gun culture, and his background is in InfoSec. Please check him out. Interesting. InfoSec. Cool. Daniel Lawrence says, Robbie is kind of off.

Handguns are already the most regulated in New York State. Oh, I didn't say that they're not passing things. I'm saying they're not pushing that in public they're not targeting it publicly they're not talking about it because they know that that's not popular sweet lou says tim according to uscca app nj is a castle doctrine state with no duty to retreat while in your dwelling except i've talked to lawyers and i looked it up on numerous websites and i talked to the cops and they all say it's partial, partial castle doctrine. You need to, in order to qualify for staying in your home, you have to, you have to pass

like three different criteria. And if it is possible for you to safely leave your home, you must do so. They call it castle doctrine, but heaven forbid you actually defend yourself. Then it's just an affirmative defense. But I was defending myself in my own home. Could you have left? Prove to us you couldn't have. Rad number two says, I have had a bet with gun grabbers, $100,000 in cash to them if they can legally buy an actual assault rifle without a background check. This bet has been standing for over 10 years and still no one has taken me up on it. It's actually's actually a good bet i think you know i'll do 100 000 is too much obviously if you said 100 bucks i'll bet you

100 bucks you can't buy an assault rifle without a background check you'll make 100 bucks because they can't do it i'll tell you this i bet you even with the background i want you want to bet that you can't go into a gun store and buy an assault rifle without a background check no no with a background check i'm just saying right now How much do you want to bet that you can't go into a gun store and buy an assault rifle? Without a background check. No, no, no. With a background check. I'm just saying right now, how much money would you bet?

I'll bet you right now that you can't walk into a gun shop and buy an assault rifle. Are you meaning AR-15? I said assault rifle. Okay. There you go. The fire assault rifle. I like that. Select fire rifles. They don't sell to civilians. Yeah. There you go. Well, i like that select fire rifles they don't sell

to civilians yeah there you go well but i i caught on there you can't pay the nfa tax i caught on you can you can pay the nfa it'll cost me more than 100 bucks it will 200 it'll take you like a year so you're not going to be able to take that so technically someone might be like okay because you can walk in and pay for it you just can't take it yeah so i'll be like i the better thing is i bet you won't be able to buy an assault rifle from a gun shop and actually be like, it's hard to phrase. You got to phrase it right. I bet you you won't be able to get. Acquire.

Get. I bet you you can't get an assault rifle at a gun shop right now. I bet you. Let's go do it. How much you want to bet? A hundred bucks. Let's go. And you'll show up and the first thing that'll happen is they'll be like, we don't have any.

Okay. Who has one? Then you'll show up and the first thing that'll happen is the bag we don't have any okay who has one then you'll shop and they'll be like okay this is great so if you want to buy it then you gotta just do the nfa paperwork it can take then you gotta go get fingerprinted so you can't just go and get one they're gonna spend way more than their hundred dollars yeah right and then afterwards i'll be like oh congratulations you got an assault rifle took you a year. Yeah. Crystal Kim says, Elon made my crypto cry today.

He needs to just stop. He is a rich person trying to take your money. So don't panic sell. Well, I'm not giving advice. Do whatever you want. It's okay to cry sometimes. You'll be better tomorrow. And so will the crypto.

All right. Nolan Bus says, Elon's tweet was perfectly timed to dip cryptos into a very bullish pattern. This will be the dip before the massive rip. Elon knows energy consumption on Bitcoin is security feature and value. Elon showing the massive influx in energy consumption means we're, in my opinion, we're on the verge of a massive burst in price. Because it means more and more people are jumping into mining crypto. So when the price of Bitcoin skyrocketed, a bunch of people probably said there's a huge upside to mining. The energy consumption skyrocketed, which means Bitcoin is probably going to go up in value because more and more organizations are starting to adopt it.

Yeah. Or starting to use it. Ascendant Media says, why are you lying, Tim? Bitcoin dipped before the tweet. Bitcoin was like, what did it get to? Like 61 or something and it went down a little bit yeah 55 and then it dropped from 57 to like 50 i mean this was immediate it was like yeah and they watch them they all dropped after that tweet 100 all of them

did every single one i literally i went i saw the tweet i read a couple comments i went and i looked at the price of crypto and they were all just falling down like a falling knife as fast as they could they put it into tether and they wait and then they buy it nevasa says cardano is on its own blockchain its blockchain is uroboros binance is is binance smart chain ethereum is ethereum blockchain etc interesting so i get it the idea is that the ethereum is the token of the ethereum. Bitcoin is the token of the Bitcoin blockchain, I guess. Yeah. There you go.

Sean Anderson says, what happens if the natural gas grid gets hacked in winter in the north? Who would have thought pipeline would be independent, PLC not networked? Rachel Maddow said that. What if Russia hacks the electricity and turns off the power in the winter? This is the inherent problem, though, with nobody doing anything and the Biden administration being like, well, they're a private company. We'll see what happens. You know, like, because they've now given $5 million to hackers.

Hackers are now incentivized going, $5 million? That's pretty cool. That's a good point. And so they're going to go now, and what other things are exploitable where we would pay in a heartbeat to get them back on? Energy, our power grid, water. I mean mean these things are common sense we need these things you can really start a real crisis in america if you go and do this

and it's a quick way for those hackers to make cash and we just told them we negotiate with terrorists we just do it through private companies now it's crazy how vulnerable the power lines are yep 100 yep all right crypto curious says tim you should contact charles hoskinson he co-founded ethereum and is the creator of cardano yeah cardano is its own blockchain and not an erc token that would actually be really great somebody actually tweeted at me and at him and they're like oh they were just talking about you we should have you on irl that'd be fantastic so we can get someone to actually come in and explain how they built it what it does and go in depth when you invited me on the show i was like you were like when are When you invited me on the show, I was like, you were like,

when are you going to come on Tim's show? I was like, whenever he asked me, because this was like the probably 80th person that was like, when are you going to go to Tim's show? I was like, whenever he asked me. And then you were like, yeah, I'm asking you. Well, I think that I had messaged you, and I think that it got lost in the shuffle. I know you have open DMs, and it gets lost for sure. Yeah, it's ridiculous. I was like, we did ask you, Robbie got lost in the shuffle. I know you have open DMs. It gets lost for sure. Yeah, it's ridiculous.

I was like, we did ask you, Robbie. Come on. No, you did, and you were great about it. I would have been like, what is wrong with this guy? I'm like, delete. You're not coming on. But you were so sweet about it. All right.

Archie Ray says, Tim, proud Floridian here. DeSantis said and proved he will pardon any Floridian for COVID violations. Get Charles Hoskinson on the show. He is the founder of ADA, Cardano, and has amazing ideas for blockchain. Also, please tell Carl Cardano, please tell Carl Cardano better than Ethereum. Well, I don't know what's better or worse. All I know is that they're very similar, and I think Ethereum is amazing technology. And if you've got a co-founder and he's doing something similar, I think they're both just amazing technology. You look at Minds, for instance,

and this is why I'm looking at it. Minds.com, amazing social network, Bill's doing great things with it. And it uses tokens in a very brilliant way so that you can basically run the ad system. It's a decentralized way of doing ads. Minds isn't necessarily, it's semi-decentralized, but you earn tokens by just producing content and you earn tokens because people are using tokens to buy ads. So it's an interesting way of adapting. That's interesting. I just spent five tokens to boost a post for 5,000 views today. It felt so good. Right, right, right. So it's a really fascinating system and I think it's interesting. And it's built on Ethereum. Ethereum allows software to be built on it.

And so I'm looking at the top cryptos, and I saw Cardano was similar. Same guy. And I'm like, these are the three that I think are good. These are the ones I bought. I'm not giving anyone advice. You do what you want to do. People are bringing up a bunch of other coins and tokens. So don't take any advice from me.

I'm just full disclosure. These are the ones that I have. I've heard the best things about Ethereum. I'd love to meet the guys who came up with it because it's interesting something that i think that i haven't seen anybody in politics really ask directly to people who are like super involved in the building of these you know futures of currency in many ways is hey what are you guys worried about government doing to interfere in this process because i want to understand the intricacies of what they see down the line 10 years from now what is the problem going to be with government getting in the way of this

prospering you know that's something that i think more people need to understand i think for truly decentralized coins the government can never do anything it's an honor system yeah so with like what is zcash anonymous you know i don't know I think Bittrex stopped serving it, so it may be. Monero. Yeah, they stopped serving Monero? Yeah. Because of U.S. regulations, probably. Monero.

So Bitcoin, every transaction, you can see. Yeah. I think Monero and Zcash, I could be wrong. You can't. So ransomware hackers will be like, we want... Use that stuff. Yep. The obfuscated, hard to track.

And money laundering. There's a bunch of tricks for laundering Bitcoin as well to make it hard to know who did what. Yeah. Danny Douglas says, Navy nuke here, AMA. You should have Collian Noir on. He's an attorney and expert in 2A. Also, he's a really great guy. Does a good job explaining why we need the Second Amendment.

He has a standing invitation. I am familiar with him. He's great. Eric Miller says, It's still a good idea to get your carry permit for reciprocity with other states. Otherwise, it's only good for your state. Also, Tennessee also has 10 gigabit internet

and a nuclear-powered dam in Chattanooga. All right, we're moving to Nashville. That's it. Let's go. Because honestly, I'm telling you, if you had me as the rep there, you have all this greatness going on. You've got open carry, concealed carry, just constitutional carry.

It's going to be a great place. I want Tennessee to be known as the freest state in this country, like real freedom. Weather's pretty good, right? It's amazing. Weather's pretty good? Yeah, I love the weather. I went there only when I was young, and we stayed on a lake. It was incredible.

Yeah, you get like any southern state, you get a little period for like you know like six eight weeks something like that fall is gorgeous during winter i love winter clothes i'm a big like i love coats i love all that stuff i like dressing warm i like warm socks so i'm a big fan well yeah there's some mountains in tennessee you know i mean obviously there's the um you know uh what's it called um next to dolly, there's the what's it called? Next to Dollywood, there's I'm trying to think of this other place that you guys would like. God, what's the name of it? They have this restaurant and a media

studio and all this stuff. I'll send it to you. But there's a bunch of places you guys would like to visit that are really cool. But we've got beautiful memories all over. Y'all are competing with Texas and Florida. Tennessee needs to pass one of these social media protection bills. Yep. We're working on it.

We're working on it. Are they really? Cool. Yep. We're working on it. With Texas being the best, I mean, it might not guarantee your protection because they'll go to a federal lawsuit and they could always overturn your, you know, say no. But if the state gives you those protections, you could win at a local court and then force

the company to take you somewhere else. Imagine what's going to happen when you have hundreds of thousands of people, maybe tens of thousands of conservatives with small accounts who are banned for saying learn to code. Yeah. They file immediately with the court in Texas. And then all of a sudden, Facebook has to answer 100 to 50,000 individual lawsuits. Yep. All of a sudden, they're going to be like, we can't afford to do that. Yep.

And their initial reaction is going to be, we're not going to operate in Texas. But you get every red state to do the same thing. That's how you change their behavior. And that's why I've said every governor of every state needs to grow some courage, get out there and do the same thing. There's all these governors who are not very well liked right now because of COVID policy. And my advice to all of them is the same. Look at what DeSantis is doing. Copy it.

And people are going to like you. Yeah. Because he's listening to people. He's essentially he's he's more of a populist than in old school. You know, like that's something we don't talk enough about. We are not the Mitt Romney corporate raider era Republican Party. We're a populist movement. We care about people.

We care about workers. We care about things like having no more endless wars. This is the future for us. And the way that we do this is let's clone Ron DeSantis, put him over all these states. Clone him? How about elect a president? Yeah. Or that.

Without the Senate or the House, you know, fat little guy, the president's going to pull off, right? But we need more people to rise up with the ideology that are willing to do what's necessary. And, you know, I do recognize something really interesting. The media attacks that work on all the weak Republicans in D.C. don't work on DeSantis. And a lot of people in D.C., they love doing workshopping and wasting money on getting consultants. They should really consult those consultants to study why the media attacks don't work on him. It's not hard to figure out. Yeah. All right.

Waffle Sensei says they are trying to destroy the credibility of Riot Squad because Richie is going to be a if not the key witness in the rittenhouse case the narrative must be set long ahead of the trial richie must start anti-tweeting now no he should just keep doing what he's doing but it's true he's going to be one of the most important witnesses that is going to lay the groundwork for in my opinion a self-defense argument for uh rittenhouse and with richie as a witness it's i don't see how any reasonable person would convict cal rittenhouse however people who are in fear for their lives are no longer reasonable correct so when they're like they're going to burn your house down they're going to burn the city down people are going to be like i don't care about this one people are

panicking reason goes out the window some yeah i think i think in this case a lot of people are going to be like he he lives in Antioch. He's not even in Wisconsin. Why are we dealing with this? They're going to burn out our city? Nah. Lock him up. It won't work, though.

We saw, you know, riot protests are going to happen no matter what. You just got to tell these people no. But too many people are cowards. I think Rittenhouse is one that may start a sort of new version of right-wing populist protests. Because if they put him in prison, like, this could be anybody's kid, okay? If your kid was, you know, 17, 18, 19 years old, they're protecting a shop, they try to do the right thing and protect themselves. Somebody shot a gun that they may have perceived to be at them, and they're being chased by a mob, that could be anybody's kid.

If the guy was attacking him with the scapegoat, you're going to smash him in the head. It's insane. It's insane. There's honestly no argument for this not being self-defense. This is self-defense. This is why we have self-defense. Right. Well, he wasn't old enough to carry a weapon,

which might be a misdemeanor. Sure, yeah, give him a misdemeanor. But you are allowed to... I guess the law is... I could be wrong about Wisconsin. If you are a miner and you're in danger, you can pick up a gun from somewhere else and use it to defend yourself. So that's Big104. It says, Ethereum gas fees sucks.

You have to spend $140 on a $100 transaction. Is that true? Well, I don't know. Not always. He says, ADA is, I don't know. Not always. He says, ADA is with low gas fees and 100% decentralized. ETH is not decentralized. Cardano is the future. You need to invite Charles.

That would be fantastic. I know ETH isn't decentralized. Max Kaiser was talking about that. He mentioned that they have reversed transactions in the past as well. I don't know all the details. Gas fees suck. I'm i'd love to talk to him uh because it would be great to have an actual someone actually in the dev space for cryptocurrencies to talk about a lot of what's going on so you know absolutely uh but if you haven't already make sure you smash that like
