Timcast IRL - Timcast IRL #290 - Democrats Vote In Far Left DA Amid Skyrocketing Crime, BLM Riots w/Sean Parnell

Episode Date: May 20, 2021

Tim, Ian, and Lydia join Pennsylvania senatorial candidate and retired Army captain Sean Parnell once again to analyze Philadelphians' choice to elect a very progressive DA who will undoubtedly increase crime, the new commission being organized to investigate the January 6th Capitol riot, California's vicious homeless problem, and the heroic cop who managed to singlehandedly move a car off a trapped mother.

During yesterday's show, we did a segment about the Pennsylvania district attorney's races. So a big race coming out of Philadelphia, and there was some optimism. It actually looked like the moderate Democrat could win. Isn't it funny, us cheering for a moderate Democrat? Why? Well, you're not going to get a Republican DA. But there was a far left pro Black Lives Matter district attorney who had been in. Crime had been skyrocketing, violent crime, really horrifying stories out of Philly. As most of you know, we used to do the show just outside of Philly in the Philly suburbs. And one of the reasons we left was the, well, rising out of control crime, namely the riots, but there were a bunch of shootouts. And I was just like, yo, I don't

want to be in a city. We want to get into the middle of nowhere and kind of just have more space, grow the company, do something. So then lo and behold, the story comes out. It was a blowout. The progressive won by 30 points. That means even with all of the skyrocketing crime, all of these riots, the tearing down of statues, and the people said, we're not going far left enough. Let's go far left-er. I'm not surprised. A lot of people just don't pay attention. So we'll talk about that. But we do have some good news that that individual who wrote the 1619 project just had her tenure rescinded. It was a proposal apparently was not picked up. Journalists are outraged. They're furious. They believe that this woman is a hero. But apparently people started to realize the 1619 project is fake news

and for this no tenure. So it's not all bad news. We're19 Project is fake news. And for this, no tenure. So it's not all bad news. We're going to talk about this. And we got one of the best people to talk about what's going on in Pennsylvania. We have now Senate candidate for Pennsylvania, Sean Parnell. Hello, Tim. It is great to be back. This is like my fourth time on the show and and what i mean is as most political candidates would

probably be scared to come down and and sit in a studio with you because as you say you're a disaffected liberal and nobody wants to get ambushed with gotcha questions but but i'll do that you first of all you don't do that right you're you're very very fair and i think that's why people actually watch your show as much as they do. Well, I really do think that there is a thirst for truth out there. You said people don't pay attention. I think part of the reason why they don't is people are sick of the divisiveness. Most people feel like the news that they watch on TV is not accurate. And by the way, Republican, Democrat, left-leaning, right-leaning, I think people want the facts, and they want to be able to make decisions on their own.

And so I think that's why people watch. I think the big question for people who watch this show, or the issue, is more, are you paying attention to what's really going on? There's a political establishment, and on the Republican side, you have a very powerful anti-establishment force that's pushed its way in. And that's made the neocons and the establishment Republicans run to the Democrats. So this is why you could have a disaffected liberal who's like, yo, the media is lying about this, that, or otherwise.

And then we end up getting along even if we disagree on policy. I'm not here to push an agenda or a narrative to help someone win. I want to understand the truth and make sure that things work. So that's why this show works, I think. I think that should be the goal of every journalist. I mean, one of the things that you learn, and by the way, you know, but I'm not sure that your audience does,

but I am not a career politician. Being a politician was never part of my professional track or even running for political office, but you learn pretty quickly when you run that the media on either side of the aisle they definitely have a narrative and they're definitely pushing that narrative and sometimes the facts are pushed to the sidelines in pursuit of that and i don't like that it's something yeah you know i mean usually sometimes you're not one of those people and you're you're a journalist you do this

i mean and there are some good journalists out there that that i rely on and and that are even some democrats out there that i know these journalists are democrats that write fair right and to me that's you know that's the benchmark like i don't care if you're democrat or republican just be fair it's a question of scruples do people feel that that you know feeling in your gut when they know they're doing something wrong and the problem is too many people in this country today don't. So they're sitting there like, well, I know I'm lying, but who cares? And that's what you get. So we'll get into all this stuff.

But also, I think you know a lot about what's going on with these DA races. That's like crime, the Black Lives Matter stuff. So we'll talk about that. We got Ian wearing glasses.

The Daily Caller reports after a surge in violent crime, progressives win big in Pennsylvania's largest city.

I couldn't believe it because you had this police-backed moderate Democrat guy, and the polls are like it's fairly even. It's like he's doing all right. And I was like, this guy's, in my opinion, I thought he was going to win because you have all of his crime. I remember what happened in South Philly. Do you remember when the Christopher Columbus statue was attacked? Yes, yes. And then you had a bunch of these like local dudes standing around

and saying back off the city came and took it down i i had to believe that regular people were like yo what are you doing this is this makes me a bit pessimistic because it wasn't just that the progressive the far left pro black lives matter guy won It was a blowout. It was 30 plus points. So what's happening in this place? Do these people really want more crime? Do they like the crime that's happening in their state? No. I mean, I think it's important to remember that it's a Democrat primary, right? today's day and age you know the litmus test is you know if you're running for senate is is like

nuking the filibuster or packing the supreme court or tearing down fundamental institutions that have been a part of this country for the last 200 years so it's it's it's the democrat primaries are are become what did you say like who can be lefter who yeah far left far lefter well krasner i mean you're looking at the city of Philadelphia. What happened? What's happened to that city under Krasner is sad, right? I mean, I think you're seeing something like a 30% rise in crime, violent crime in Philadelphia. The people there are struggling. I think when there's a rise in crime, you see, you know, the black communities are disproportionately affected by that. So it's unfortunate to see him as the guy, right? It's the ultra-wealthy backing these people too. Like Krasner, I think, was backed by one of the Soros foundations or by wealthy individuals. Yes, and I think late in the game. I think an infusion of something like, and I don't know this for sure, but something like $3 million to help him get across the finish line.

And look, that is – and I'm not judging that, right? Like you have to raise money to win in politics. And the more effective a candidate is on a campaign at raising money, the more effective they can be at getting their message out. Now, I liken it – everything that I use is like a military analogy, and I'm not advocating for any sort of violence, right? But dollars in a campaign are like bullets in a gun, right, when your platoon is out there in combat. You run out of ammo, you can't respond to the enemy, you can't defend yourself. The same is true in politics. You run out of money, look, the Democrats will, in my my case the democrats will come after you and they will

bludgeon you with ads and inhibit and if you have no money you can't respond and so that what happened in philadelphia this is this is a prime example of that and and and the profound impact that that money can have in terms of advertising and moving the needle one way or the other it's like uh reminds me of fauci he says are you gonna do the fauci impression no do the fauci tells everyone to go on cruises he tells everybody not to wear masks and then he blames donald trump they blame donald trump it's like trump was just taking this guy's advice but i'll pass the buck to trump he should have fired the guy in the first place i bring him him up because these voters are like Fauci followers, right? So here's what I mean. When you see the CDC say, all right, y'all

can take your masks off if you're vaccinated. And these people are literally saying, no, no, we shouldn't. We should keep them on. You can see that with your eyes. That is a Democratic base that doesn't care about what the guidelines are. They just care about what signifies their tribe. Like David Hogg said, he doesn't want to be seen as a conservative, so he'll just wear the mask anyway. What you can't see is the virtue signaling and the tribalism that's not tangible, which is elections like this. The ads come out.

They say ridiculous nonsense and out-of-context garbage, and people just go, whatever you say. They would rather just align themselves tribally ridiculous nonsense and out of context garbage. And people just go, whatever you say, they would rather just align themselves tribally than care about anything principally that would help better their community. So I would say that's why, you know, on, you know, what in my any part of my campaign, right? Like, I go everywhere. I'm just using myself as an example. I go everywhere. I talk to everyone. I personally believe that leadership is about, yeah, of course, coalition building where people agree with you. But it's also about going where people don't and building consensus, right, and giving those folks a chance to get to know you with the understanding that, of course, as Americans, we're not going to agree on every issue, right?

But the leaders show up anyway to show people that they care. And so when when I campaign, when I go out there, I go everywhere with the Democrat, independent Republican. I don't care if you believe in the greatness of America, if you believe in freedom, if you believe in the idea of, you know, passing down a rich, vibrant country, a country that's rich with opportunity to the next generation, then join us. Join the movement. And I think because we've been able to do that, and part of that, by the way, is think for yourself, right? Don't just lock into, you know, left-wing media or right-wing media. Read, think for yourself. Part of being a part of this movement that i think we're trying to create in

western pennsylvania and indeed we probably have created it of thousands of people in western pennsylvania people from across the political spectrum is they want the truth and they're going to seek it out themselves and then not only that they're going to take action to make their communities better and in this case you know so what does that look like for a campaign it means like they're out there knocking doors they're out there hosting events they're out there making phone calls right um they're helping move the ball down the field something that democrats have done for years far better than republicans right is organized right definitely they're better at it but but so we're we're rivaling that in pennsylvania and i think that you saw that reflected in these ballot questions.

So Krasner. Yeah. What happened with Krasner? He's that progressive guy. Yeah. He's the progressive guy that won in Philadelphia. It's a bad thing for Philadelphia that he won. I think he's one of the worst days in Philadelphia history. But that's besides the point. I think the real indicator in Pennsylvania statewide is we had two ballot questions on the ballot, right? Which both ballot questions pertain to the governor's unilateral ability to extend emergency declarations in Pennsylvania. You can do that in perpetuity. And he's, I would argue that he's abused the process, right? Like, of course, COVID was real.

We had to take it seriously. And there were, early on, those emergency provisions were certainly appropriate, right? But it's, you know, 15 days to slow the spread has turned into 15 months, right? And so my point is, Tim, is that Republicans showed up in force and won. But it was really what I see that as a referendum on Tom Wolf, who's a radical Democrat governor. We won those ballot initiatives by around 139,000 votes statewide. That's significant, and it's indicative of the strength of the Republican Party in this state. Didn't Wolf kill a bunch of old people?

So the state of Pennsylvania, and so to your point of how President Trump was blamed for his COVID response, first of all, Governor Cuomo right now is under the microscope. The second highest nursing home deaths in the country happened in the state of Pennsylvania under Governor Tom Wolf. No one's talking about it. But believe me, in the near future, they will be with the governor's race coming up now. But I think what was particularly disconcerting about nursing home policy is, of course, if you were paying attention to COVID early on, you saw how it was. I mean, it first came to Seattle, right? We saw it tear through nursing home facilities and how the elderly were particularly vulnerable

when it comes to COVID, right? We knew we knew that. And you had Secretary Levine, our secretary of health in Pennsylvania for the Wolf administration, saw that coming. And she took her own mother out of a nursing home facility while leaving other senior citizens in the state of Pennsylvania to languish and die. I got real problems with that. And so,

you know, I don't think. Now Levine is with the Biden administration. Now she's with the Biden administration. And so, you know, I don't think we're talking enough about that. There are a litany of things that we could have probably done better,

that we definitely could have done better. And by the way, it's easy to be a Monday morning quarterback. I am giving a little bit of grace here in that this is a once-in-a-hundred-year pandemic. We've never faced anything like this before. We didn't really know what COVID was like early on, so precautions I thought were necessary early on. But look, it only took about three to four months for us to realize, you know, for us to learn a heck of a lot more about COVID, right? And as you're dealing with the pandemic, your strategy has to evolve as the science evolves

and as you learn more about the virus. That didn't happen in Pennsylvania. And elderly senior citizens and the citizens of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. I think they paid the price. Yeah, I think we got the worst of every world with Fauci because at first he's like, don't wear your masks. Then there it is. I knew I knew it was coming on the cruises.

It's fine. Can I just do the slow clap? Am I allowed to clap? I will. Beautiful. Imagine if he came out right away and said, just wear masks in case let's be the safe side of these things then what we would we would have reduced a dramatic amount of death imagine if it was like hey you probably shouldn't go on cruises right now until we figure this thing out very early on he was like it's fine and then a month later when it gets bad then he's

like okay now it might get bad then when we start we see texas and florida and it's like you know people are asking why is it tex it Texas and Florida are doing so well? No answer. We don't really know. The Today Show did a segment where they were like, we're not entirely sure. Just ending the restrictions, and for some reason, COVID deaths are going down. Perhaps it was because we learned that transmission indoors was worse. Outdoors was safer.

Getting vitamin D and exercise was better for you. And people were put in the worst possible position where was fauci to be like maybe we should change our minds on the sea he was too lax in the beginning and too harsh near in the middle to the end so people have been following this guy playing simon says where you don't wear any masks wear your masks double mask no don't double mask double mask anyway if you get the vaccine wear your mask anyway okay i admit it i was just saying that i didn't that's where we're at right now and then i think yeah i i agree um i i think fauci has been remarkably inconsistent in in his guidance right

um and i think at the end of the day with a pandemic response now here's my thing if you if you again i thought that the 15 days to slow the spread when we didn't know a lot about the virus was probably appropriate early on, but you've got to adjust fire pretty quickly, right? But I think he's been inconsistent. And truthfully, the science behind masking, it's dubious at best. It really is. And so the mask in today's day and age, even when you're seeing the CDC changing their mask guidance, saying that, okay, now that people are vaccinated, you don't have to wear a mask outside. You don't have to wear – I mean, look, if you want to wear a mask, wear a mask. I'm not going to judge you on that. If you feel safer wearing a mask mask go right ahead and do it but what up with the point that i'm building to is that is that it's incumbent upon all of us to assess the

risk that is tolerable for us but what was the updated science that made the cdc change their minds because i didn't see it and that that was exactly that's exactly the point that i was building to is that the the cdc changed their guidance, right, with really no justification in the empirical science. We were given no reason why. It was just, and it really was the CDC director, I think, on a cable news show saying, like, the science has evolved. So what we saw with Fauci was that there was one interview where he was asked, should people

wear two masks? And he's like, well, it's just common sense if you wear two masks. Then he gets asked again, no, no, there's nothing saying to wear two masks. Then he comes out again, yeah, everybody should wear two masks. And all of a sudden people just wear two masks. It's like they're playing Simon Says with this guy.

He is one of the worst, most dangerous individuals in this country. And you want to know something really freaky? I saw this out of Dallas. There's a video that somewhat purports to show like two guys in the army going into a 7-Eleven and like randomly giving a due to vaccine. And my question is like at what point did we go from you can't speak positively about certain medications? Like when Trump was talking about hydroxychloroquine, YouTube was like, we'll ban you if you bring it up.

Don't even talk about it. And now you've got people being like outside of a 7-Eleven being like without consulting your doctor they're going to give you a medication i'm like no come on you can't do that can you like you got people got to talk to their doctors before they get this stuff apparently not anymore well well of course of course i mean i i agree standards man well it's it's look yes double standards um and you know ultimately dr fauci you know i i don't know i like i like to think that that he did his best but to me i think he's i think i think that there were political intentions behind some of the decisions he was making i mean i will tell you this certainly the radical left uh weaponized the virus in a way that they thought would benefit them, right?

No, definitely. Never let a good crisis go to waste. That is part of their playbook, right? And so I don't know. I'm glad to see that we're coming out of this, even though people are reluctant to take off the mask. But again, if people want to wear masks, fine. If you feel like you're high risk fine but but it should be i just want to i just want to say though you know

going back to this this this there's some there's a positive note in this progressive winning that maybe we're not seeing maybe we're looking too much at the surface level a 30 point blowout could it be that many people have left the democratic party and the only people that remain are progressives so we're not seeing a landslide victory for the D.A. We're actually seeing the moderate Democrats having quit saying, I don't know, Republican. No, I think it's a great point. I mean, what I think you're seeing is this is where the Democrat base is right now. It is it is it is largely out of touch with everyday americans on either side of the aisle specifically the blue

collar people unions that they building trade unions that they purport to represent you know for for a long time by the way police officers especially in the state of pennsylvania where their unions like when their fraternal order of police like in in western pennsylvania it's fop1 fop3 uh out in philadelphia i think it's fop5 uh there's like a 50 50 split of democrat republicans maybe maybe even more democrats than republicans that are cops i think you'd be hard pressed to find a police officer supporting democrat cause so my to my point moderate democrats i think they're there there is no there's not a home for them really in the Democrat Party. I mean, now now listen, you know, my I come from a family that that that grew up in Allegheny County.

Half of them are Allegheny County Democrats. They're blue dog. What do you say? Old school blue dog Democrats, pro-life, pro-gun Democrats. A lot of those people feel like they don't have a home in the democrat party today so we try to give them a home with us and we try to actually be that voice that that the building trade unions uh don't have anymore in the democrat party now it takes work and time and effort but we're trying to do that so yes i do i think i'm right actually i pulled the data and i think i'm right check this out the democratic primary that just happened is lawrence kner versus Carlos Vega. Carlos Vega was backed by the police unions.

The polls showed it was really close. The total votes for this primary was 129,865 votes. Let's go back to the previous election, the Democratic primary in 2017. The total votes was 155,246. Now, it's possible that it was 155, 000 because there were more people listed in the primary and so some people who normally don't vote might show up for one of these individuals but i actually think what we're seeing is around there's around 26 000 less votes than there was last time i'm willing to bet a lot of people just said i don't vote i don't vote a democrat anymore yeah and so

they weren't in the primary at all it's it's a it's a midterm well it's an off-cycle election so turnout is usually down although i will say if you look at the republican turnout this year i i think there was something like i don't know i look over at my campaign manager who's over there uh he's my partner in crime on on all this stuff but i think there was something like 855,000 Republicans that turned out, and if you look back at 2009, which I think was another off-cycle election, I think turnout for the Republican Party back then was something like 500,000. So you're looking at the difference in turnout there, right? We're doing everything we can to organize

and unite this party and bring people together and be the Big Ten party that I think the Republican Party is always intended to be, right? Oh, what were you going to say? No, I mean, we're the Big Ten party because I think we're the party of individual freedom, right? Individual sovereignty. How is it ever that there's somebody running unopposed? That, to me, is crazy.

In this day and age, it is, but it is common in off-cycle elections. So I'm looking at this general election for uh city controller rebecca reinhart only candidate listed isn't it where in philly yeah philly general election for the philadelphia city controller there's no just one person like you literally could have walked him like i guess i'll run why not and then you may have actually won because people would be like i'll vote for the other person yeah i mean it's it's yes our elections are broken man well i don't know that they're i don't there are issues right um there there there's no question about that although talking about election integrity in today's day and age i'm not even talking about integrity i'm

just talking about our culture the popularity contest yeah like look at this guy so let me go back to the uh the krasner thing here. How many votes in the Republican primary in Philly do you think there were? There was 129,000 Democratic primary votes. For the Republican primary, how many votes do you think there were? I don't know. Random guess. Votes in Philadelphia in the Republican primary? 129,000 people voted in the Democratic primary.

Voted in the Democratic primary. In Philadelphia. In Philadelphia, how many people voted in the Democratic primary voted in the Democratic in Philadelphia in Philadelphia how many people vote in the Republican primary wait so the Democratic primary Democrats had 129,000 people turn out total votes right on the Democrat side

yes so I would say 30% of that number so probably 15,000 20,000 9,404 so Republicans can't even go out and vote in these cities at all I think the reality is apathy. No one's engaging this process. And so you've got people like us, people who are watching this show, who are active and paying attention, who are trying as hard as possible to push back

on the tsunami. But the tsunami is apathy. It's people just sitting there, lazy, eyes half closed, ignoring the problems around them. Mitch McConnell gives the Republican Party a horrible name because it should be the party of rock stars right now. It needs a resurgence culturally where it's exciting and you think of youth and fun, which is what the Democrats basically did with Obama and Clinton. Well, here's what's funny. The Democratic Party used to be the celebrities, the rock stars, but they've all become rather square. And what I mean by that is like well within the box. don't draw outside the lines anymore no more punk rock to see these punk rock people support amazon and like you know it's not i totally agree i think i think conservatives like the the republican party that i'm a part of like we're the new punk rock we're

the party of the american working class well no you might be but mitch mcconnell lindsey graham aren't they're the opposite well i mean look they've been around for a long time right i mean and they have they've got responsibility at the top as leadership and trying to bring people together in in the republican party because we're an ideological diverse party it's very it could be very very hard to do that like and you're looking at the vote today on on the january 6 commission right? Democrats rarely, and I mean rarely, if ever, break ranks. Their messaging is almost always the same. They're like the Borg, if you've ever watched Star Trek, right?

Their messaging is on point. Their organizing is on point. They rarely break ranks. And because of that, they're very effective. Now, they've got the media to help them do that, right, as sort of the fly top cover for them. But Republicans, sometimes it can be like herding cats because we are the party of ideological diversity we'll all believe different things you know you're welcome in the republican party as long as i mean to me i think you know the base litmus test is you got to be small government more freedom

kind of person you know but uh let me let me jump to the story from the wall street journal house backs creation of commission on January 6th Capitol riot. Former President Trump and GOP leaders urged Republicans to oppose the bill. So we're going to have some kind of, what, 9-11-style commission on the Capitol riots. And I'm sorry, man. The Republican Party, I understand, it's better than the Democrats for a lot of reasons. But why didn't they ever do anything about Black Lives Matter and Antifa when they had the power to do it?

Well, we never really had the power to do it under under President Trump. 2017. Well, I guess they weren't paying attention. Well, the first two years of the Trump administration, I mean, I would argue that the Black Lives Matter and Antifa protests that really rampaged across the country burned down federal courthouses. They burned down a police precinct in, I thinknesota i mean they they were that was last year though so you know republicans had lost the house at that point but that's what i mean i mean i think that most of the violent protests that we saw happened after the republicans had lost control of all the

three branches of government how many how many how many uh riots were there over the past four years from far leftists i don't know off the top of my head. Hundreds? Well, I mean, I would say... Probably thousands. I would absolutely say thousands. Not a single one. Not a single instance in 2017 and 2018 warranted to Republicans

any kind of action. But the Democrats get one and they are going nuclear for months. A 9-11 style commission. This is the problem. The Democrats will like will stub their toe and blame the far right and scream at their lungs. And the Republicans go, OK, OK, OK. And then you can literally get billions of dollars of damage and the Republicans won't even send in National Guard to stop it. Trump will be like, please, please, in the National Guard. And the Democrats in these cities are like, no.

And he goes, OK. Well, I mean, I think part of the reason for that is that the Democrat Party, I mean, they have the largest super PAC in the world. I mean, they have, you know, a billion dollar corporate media, mainstream media that does nothing but fly cover for them. And parrot their talking points right sure sure but why why do republican candidates care more about the opinions of the new york times and their own constituents that so look it's it's a great question and it's part of

what i think the republican party i mean look if you're a candidate right and you're going to go out there on the parapet be a republican be a conservative in this day and age, you have to know going in, Tim, that if the media, the main, not all the media, right? And I'm not trying to paint anybody with broad strokes here, but you got to know that the media is coming after you. Definitely. And you're not doing your job. You know that if they are coming after you you're probably over the target so to speak to use military parlance right um that's how i look at things if they're attacking me i know that

i'm representing the people and to me ultimately that's what this job is about this job is about is about representing the people and being there for them which is why i mean look i think 2020 like running a campaign in 2020 was an unbelievable experience for me because I didn't know anything about campaigning. It was the first time I've ever done it. So I learned a lot. But one of the things that's just so important for Republicans moving forward is not being beholden to the big money. We had 45, thousand individual donors because of that. We weren't really beholden to any sort of special interest corporation or even the Republican Party, even though I'm a Republican running on the ticket. It gave me the freedom to to to represent the people in the best way that I saw fit.

And I think we did that to great effect. And we're going to take it to the next level on the Senate race. But, yes, you as a Republican in this day and age, age you know you have to be willing to stand on the parapet and take shots from the from the media because if you're advocating for for what you believe and what the people that you represent believe you're going to take they're coming after you i just got very little faith in uh anyone to actually be a leader in terms of standing up to the establishment which is mostly Democrat, some Republicans. There's a reason why people like Marjorie Taylor Greene, even after everything she posted and said and then apologized for. And it's because she's feisty.

She's a fighter. She fights. She fights like Donald Trump fought. And so she raises, what, three point something million dollars in the first quarter. So they can criticize her and smear her all she wants. And she revels in it. And people see that. And they're like, finally, someone is standing up. But look at this ted cruz goes to cancun or whatever right so it's got the power outage the freeze in texas ted cruz flies so he flew to cancun is that where he went yeah i think

he just to take his family down there regardless the media freaks out and then he's flying right back overnight i'd have been like you know what now the media's freaking out i'm gonna take a picture of myself my feet up sipping a martini being like is this what you want don't play stupid games now he said he was just there to fly his family there and back sure whether you want to believe him or not i think he was going on vacation and honestly i don't care what makes what you know what i do care about well i'll say this first probably a bad move to be a representative of your community in a time of crisis and be like, I'm going to go to the beach. Nah, like, you know, running for office, being in office is more than just showing up in Congress and talking. It's being a leader for your community and helping

build that culture and lead by example. But if you want to go on vacation, I'm not going to cry about it. I'll tell you what really bothers me that the media screamed and he was right back. Oh no, no. Oh geez. No. Oh, don't look at me. I'll tell you what really bothers me, that the media screamed and he was right back. Oh, no, no. Oh, geez. No. Oh, don't look at me. I don't care what The New York Times has to say about these people. I'm sick of the lies from the media.

I'm sick of the fact that for four years, the Republicans in the Senate didn't do much of anything with what was going on. I remember from 2016, 17, 18, we knew censorship was a very serious problem and the banning of donald trump's most ardent supporters was going to result in republicans getting defeated republicans can't even express their own opinions how could they expect to win at this point and they did nothing look look i know i know uh you know where i'm at you you know where i'm going with this right like it's happening to me right now you know i look if you you want to think you talk about big tech censorship i i'm not i'm not section 230 is one thing i don't think i

necessarily support that because it hurts people like you right like but they're they're repealing section 230 or yeah they're repealing section 230 hurts it needs to be reformed it needs to be reformed for sure right something needs to be done about big tech or state level laws which we're seeing yes but look at what's happening to me. I'm a Senate. I'm a Senate candidate in the state of Pennsylvania in arguably the biggest Senate race in the country, right? Senate control depends on the state of Pennsylvania, right? And go to Google right now, right? Just do it right now for your viewers. Search Sean Parnell

Senate on Google and see if you can find my campaign website. NBC News is the first link. Then your Twitter account. Politico. I raise money on my campaign site. The only way I raise digital money is on that campaign site. Google has a monopoly on search engines, right? So you go and go.

You got to be a forensic data analyst to find my website on google now if you're watching the show go to yahoo or go to bing or go to duck duck go and punch in sean parnell senate and see what comes up let's go to bing yeah just just see what comes out bing sean parnell senate just do a search yeah hey there you go it's the first one it's the number one so here's the thing sean parnell former governor alaska is actually the card that pops up but your website is yeah so yeah but so that's the point so look candidates there's we already talked about like there's a direct correlation being between your ability to raise money as a candidate and getting your

message out the republican party they don't give you money you, like it's all about your ability to raise money. Now you want to talk about big tech, having their finger on the thumb or on the finger, their finger on the scale, tipping, tipping the scale in one direction. Now Google any other candidate in the state of Pennsylvania. Who are you?

Who would you be running against on? I mean, there's a, there's just Google, Google, a guy named John Fetterman, the Lieutenant governor. F I got him. Yeah. Just Google him. See if his website comes up on lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania. How do you spell Fetterman? I got him.

Yeah, just Google him. See if his website comes up on Google first thing. First thing is his Twitter. And then governor.pa.gov. Then johnfetterman.com. Okay, there you go. So if you're on Google, the primary mechanism that everybody in the country. And he's running for the Senate.

And he's running for the Senate. So my opponent right now has, or, or a potential opponent right now, primary, right? There's a primary, right? There's a Republican primary. But my point is they have a distinct advantage right now. And this is, this is big tech. I'm telling you, this is big tech putting their, putting their thumb on the scale, helping one side over the other. So yes, there needs to be reform. And by the way this hinders my ability to to to raise money and get my message out so to hey smash smash my win red link and contribute to my campaign because you can't find my you can't find it on the website and i'm gonna need all the help i can get in the senate race in pennsylvania you do but i think it might be too late or uh so

what year was it that alex and Milo and everybody got banned? Was it 2018? Yeah, that was a couple of years ago. A couple of years ago. 17 or 18. Paul Joseph Watson got his Instagram taken down and it was just like selfies in the sun or whatever. Banned from Facebook. Milo, Alex.

Now, people might not like them, but a lot of people do like them. And they were some of Trump's biggest supporters. And it was obvious. Get rid of the largest communities where people gather to support Donald Trump and other populist politicians, and you will beat them. And it happened. It happened over and over and over, and it kept happening. And I talk about this because I made a segment, something about Republicans are too stupid to deal with censorship to save their own careers. And here we go.

Now they're not going to win. They're going to win where it's deep red. But I mean, I will say, surprisingly, the polling was was tremendously favorable to Republicans in the 2020 election, for sure. But right now, with what we're seeing out of Pennsylvania, for instance, Philadelphia specifically, 30-point lead for the progressive. All right. I don't think we're going to see a Republican huge turnout in the general because it's a city. Philadelphia is tough, but I will tell you, look, this is what I mean about going to certain places. The first week of the campaign, I went into South Philly, I went to the Italian market, and I talked to business owners there.

Showing up matters. It doesn't mean you're going to get a majority of the vote, but you've got to show up for people, right? And, you know, I've been on this show with you four times. It's not like I'm a crazy right-wing bomb thrower. Truthfully, I'm a consensus builder. I consider myself a leader, right? You know, when I was in Afghanistan, I led the most diverse platoon you could possibly

imagine. Rich next to poor, black next to white, Christians next to atheists next to Muslims, Democrats next to Republicans next to socialists. You know, we figured out a way to make it work in one of the most hostile regions on the planet because we figured out a way to look past our many differences as Americans and unite under a common banner and fight for a common mission. If I can do that in Afghanistan, a remote hilltop and one of the most hostile regions on the planet, we sure as heck can do it here in the country. That's my message everywhere. Yet you can't find me on Google.

And that's a problem. It's a real problem. Do you know when the Republican primary is going to be it for Senate? Yeah, it's a year. It's a year. So that may, if in case you're wondering,

yes, that's a long time. Yes. I just threw up in my mouth a little bit, but the problem is, is, and I do think campaigns generally last way too long, but we've already got candidates in the race raising a ton of money,

especially on the Democrat side. And if we wait to get in, you could find yourself in a $10 million hole, and that's impossible to dig yourself out. I mean, I suppose there's some optimism in that the Democrats have a very, very slim control right now, and they've gone back to sleep. R and ratings are in the gutter because Democrats don't pay attention anymore. Look, 2022 is going to be look, we talked about the ballot questions that should give you a little inkling about where public sentiment is with regards to these lockdowns, for example, or or control, which is really a core core pillar of the camp of Democrats or radical Democrats. And so I think 2022 is going to be a great year for for Republicans, conservatives, leaders in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania is absolutely

winnable, absolutely winnable. I personally think we're going to win Pennsylvania. So who are the senators right now for Pennsylvania? Senator Pat Toomey, who's his seat's being vacated, right? So he's a Republican. And so there's an open seat, right? It's an open seat. So you wouldn't be campaigning against an incumbent. You've got an open seat.

It's the first time there's an open seat in Pennsylvania in a very long time. You've got Senator Bob Casey, who is a Democrat. And he's been there for a couple of times both up for reelection or it's just the. So to me. Yes. Yes. So this is an open seat. Right.

So a Republican is retiring. And so, yes, biggest Senate race in the country. So this goes Democrat. It's you lose control. You lose control of the Senate. It's already the tiebreaker goes to the democrats because of kamala harris so we have the the senate seat in pennsylvania is a must-hold seat it's it's a must-hold it is because of mansion mansion is the west virginia democrat

who's a democrat and the democrats are outraged because they call him like the guy the gatekeeper the key holder that's right if you lose pennsylvania and it goes democrat mansions out doesn't matter anymore now he can tell the republicans and the democrats win you're 100 correct and i mean christian siena senator siena right out of arizona is sort of holding the line with senator mansion as well right but without pennsylvania without pennsylvania the path to the majority is through Arizona. Right. Against against Senator Kelly, a Democrat or in New Hampshire. Right.

Pennsylvania. That's why that's why my campaign motto is when Pennsylvania save America, because this is we are the true hedge against the radicalism of the new progressive left. This is 2022. This is 2022 this is 2022 so it's also possible that republicans take back the house which even 538 right now is saying republicans are likely going to win back the house i'm not entirely confident unless we start seeing some actual populists you know run and win many win many of these seats because if we just get more you know establishment types like cheney's or Kinzinger's, then just meaningless. Candidates matter.

Candidates matter a lot. And it's not just about – if you're out there and you're thinking of running for office, whether it's local, state, federal, it's not just about your ability to articulate a message. It's about your ability to fundraise. And it is not easy. Fundraising means that you're – people think that me running a campaign, first of all, is like on stage with Trump, like at a rally in front of 50,000 people. And yeah, that happens.

And yeah, that was an unbelievable experience to be a part of that. But that's 1% of it. It's like five hours a day on the phone, calling people, cold calling people. Have you ever done sales calls? Try cold calling people and just say, hey, you know, and then asking for like $2,900. See how often you get hung up on.

See how often people tell you no. But you have to be relentless with it. And what I see is that all too often candidates aren't willing to do that. But you've got to do it. You've got to do it. One of the biggest challenges for Republicans is when you're dealing with a message of we're going to give you free stuff versus be responsible for yourself and go work hard. I think I know where people are going to lean towards. I don't know about that, Tim. I don't know. I know that I know that like and I'll

tell you, talking to business owners, like one of the main issues that they're facing right now, and whether it's in the restaurant industry and the manufacturing sector or whatever, is that we're paying people more to stay home on unemployment than go to work. That's a problem. Right. And people are choosing to do it. Yeah. Well, that's right. I mean, well, look, if you're if you're if you're a mother of three, you've got three little kids and you have an opportunity to stay home with your kids for a few weeks and spend time with them. You're going to take that. And I'm not going to fault you right um well the gop tweeted you see that thing they tweeted what did they say that you know more women are choosing to stay at home and with their children than go to work and all of these like twitter conservatives were like what

is wrong with you i don't know i don't pay i look i focus on winning the senate in pennsylvania in 2022 i i don't i can't speak to any of that but like like our job as, as leaders, I think, you know, and, and, and part of my core philosophy is, you know, it's my personal mission is to go to, go to Washington when we win. Do everything that I can to shrink the size and scope of the federal government, because I think that too much consolidated power in Washington, I believe that there's a direct correlation between that consolidated power and less freedom in our lives, right? And so we can shrink the size and scope of the federal government. We can divert as much power back to the states as humanly possible because ultimately the states are the experts. States are the experts. They know what they need, right? And so more freedom in our lives is a good thing. And then when I'm done with that, I mean, I'm not a career politician. You're not going to see me in Washington for 40 years, but you bet after a couple of terms,

I'm going to get myself a farm in Western Pennsylvania and probably never talk to anybody again. But I know you do. But the point is, is that I think by and large, it's our job to advocate for things like pro growth policies, right? Like low taxes, letting people keep more of their own money, rolling back regulations to make sure that Pennsylvania is a place where people can start a business

and not feel like it's too onerous of a process, right? Protecting the energy industry, understanding that there are a couple different pillars underneath that issue, one of which is the economic issue, people paying more for gas right now than they probably should, more to heat their homes. That economic issue disproportionately affects middle income to lower income families. Like, we don't want that, right?

We want those families to be lifted up and keep more of their money. So to the extent that we can be energy independent, it's good for middle class, lower income people. But there's also significant national security implications for it. You look at what's happening now, right? Joe Biden cancels the Keystone XL pipeline, puts 10,000-plus union workers out of work, hurts our energy independence all with the stroke of a pen, while approving and rolling back sanctions on Russia to approve their pipeline. So Joe Biden is literally creating jobs in Russia, helping their energy independence,

helping the Russian economy to allow them to export natural gas all around the world, all while they're on the border of Ukraine. Imagine, listen, imagine if President Trump did that. They would be calling him a Russian asset. Well, they already were, but, you know. Oh, of course, they already were. But yes. This proves it. Yeah, this proves it.

But you see my point, right? And so energy independence is something that's important. It's a major pillar of the economy in Pennsylvania. And health care is a big deal, right? The GOP has not had a good answer on health care for a long time. And I think part of my platform is having a good market-based innovative plan for health care. Like we all talk about the republican talking points of letting insurance companies compete across state lines more flexibility

more choice means lower cost for the consumer and a more diverse health care plan offering all of that's great uh and talking about association health care plans of the idea of small businesses being able to band together to have the same purchasing power as large corporations that's good right but what if we like think outside the box for a second and take things a step further and say why don't we let individuals of a similar age sex demographic with similar health care needs individuals band together on app-based technology it essentially becomes an insurance pool you have millions of people on there you're gonna call it call it a platinum plan, gold plan, silver plan, whatever.

But people that like 25 year olds have similar healthcare needs, right? Now it's not perfect, right? But you can invest money. You pay a certain amount of money on a monthly fee for a healthcare app. You become a member of that healthcare plan and, and you allow individuals now to have the same purchasing power as large

corporations. Republicans need to need to start thinking outside the box on on having good pragmatics policy solutions to make our lives better it's true but you go to a regular person and say they want you to come up with some plan for banding together we're just going to give you free stuff well the problem is is that you know first of all it's not it's not virtuous to take someone else's money, tax someone else and give their money to someone else. A lot of people don't care. Well, just give me the free stuff. I don't care.

They will care because the problem is, is eventually you run out of other people's money. And then the Democrats come out and blame the Republicans saying it's your fault for not raising the debt ceiling or whatever. And so you look at what's going on with these police and they defund the police. There's then no cops to deal with crime. And they say, see, look, the cops aren't even doing anything anyway. They use the problem they create to then advocate for more destruction of the system. You can't just be like free health care, which is what they keep saying. And regular people who don't know are like, I'll vote for that. And they're like, OK, now how do we do it? Well, you can't, so let's just fake it until you make it.

So they're like, print more money, I guess. I think AOC actually said deficit spend. Oh, right. Basically, you're just talking about stripping away the value of the working class from their savings to fund health care. It's distribution. Well, it's not just health care yeah i mean it's distribution doesn't it's not i mean just health care if you're looking at like so joe biden i think in his first hundred days of as president infused something like two and a half trillion dollars of cash into the economy and what you're seeing is not just a lackluster jobs report i think they they expected you know close to a million jobs they got 250

thousand absolutely horrible right so there was that in addition to inflation just this month 4.2 percent right now inflation means the dollar has individuals have less purchasing power their dollar is worth less it's basically inflation is a tax on everybody and again it disproportionately affects middle to lower income people when you want to look at inflation you see inflation reflected in the cost of our commodities. Like try to go and buy lumber to build a deck on your house, and you're going to spend probably five, six times as much on that wood, right? So inflation is not just on our doorstep.

It's here. You know, Joe Biden, for all he talks about, he's not going to tax people that make less than $400,000 a year. First of all, I wouldn't believe that. He's going to. Okay. But inflation is a tax on the middle income. It's a tax on middle income families, right?

Not being energy independent essentially is a tax on middle income, and lower-income families. So the point that I'm building to here is that it's our job as leaders in the Republican Party to have policies and be able to specifically articulate those policies that advocate for pro-growth positions, and they can't just be talking points. You have to talk about why it's important to advocate for policies to make Pennsylvania prosperous, right? Let's talk about policies that we don't want. We have this story from the Daily Mail. Exclusive.

It's become an outdoor psychiatric ward. How California's scenic Venice Beach has become a homeless hotspot with tent cities, violent crime, and rampant drug use pushing families and tourists out. I'm not even sure I can show any of the photos because you might get in trouble on here. But you can see that for a lot of reasons, it's just be wow wow wow that's all i can say i was i was in venice only a few years ago i skate the skate park there all the time you got these before and after 2015 to 2021 you swipe across 10 cities something doesn't work in california their policies are just a disaster and it's it's unfortunate because, you know,

Northern California is very different from the big cities in California. And when most people talk about California, they're not talking about the, you know, the farming territories and the, you know, counties in the East. They're talking about LA and San Francisco, maybe Sacramento, the Bay Area.

Even San Diego's got, I think they still have a Republican mayor. But their policies don't work, whatever this is. There's a recall now for Gavin Newsom. What you see in places like California will be coming to many more places in this country if these policies expand. So if Pennsylvania ends up going Democrat, they're just going to keep burning the place down. It's going to become more and more like this. I mean, you're right. I mean, California has been under a uniparty rule, a Democrat rule, for how long now? 30, 40, 50 years?

I mean, something insane. It was Republican before, like, what, 1991 or 92? Yeah, yeah. And so, yeah, I think that there is a direct correlation between this new progressive Democrat views and entrenched poverty in places like California and drug use and high crime, right? But people keep voting for it. I mean, in some places, in some places, you know, and I think Pennsylvania is one of those places that, you know,

in 2022, you know, Pennsylvania has a lot of independents that I think are going to have buyer's remorse that that perhaps believed Joe Biden was a moderate, not their fault. The media portrayed him as a moderate and big tech censored stories that were negative about him. And so you saw that poll of like, you know, how what percentage of people would have voted differently had they known the Hunter Biden? I mean, that that that alone is like an average of what, six, six or six or seven percent of people.

Yeah. Would not have voted for Joe Biden had they known that story. And and like big tech totally censored it. They censored one of the one of the oldest newspapers in the country. So it's not like it was a newspaper that they censored. So so, yeah, I think that that it but I think that there's going to be a lot of independents, and I think there's even going to be some moderate Democrats saying, whoa, this is not what I bargained for. And so you know me. I'm an idealist when it comes to this country. I think it can be saved with the right candidates with the right message and their ability to articulate and willingness to go to the places where you need to build bridges.

And that's what we're trying to do in Pennsylvania. What's your history like politically? What did you affiliate as in your 20s? I've always been conservative. You know, I don't know. Have you ever seen that movie Legends of the Fall? No, only clips. Everyone on the show is like, what?

Parnell watched Legends of the Fall? Yeah, I watched it once when i when i was younger but like i i have a lot of i have a lot of libertarian uh libertarian uh you know views i mean i don't i i don't i don't like the government i don't think that they run things efficiently and if you don't believe me like let me think of an example like cash for cl. Remember that? Like they come with an awesome program, right? They ran out of cash in a month. The government does not remember. Remember the Obama, the Obamacare website. Remember when Obama gave all those guns to the cartels?

Oh, I don't. Oh, and can I, can I also say something, you know, you know, classic classical liberalism, right? After the Vietnam wars, really, I think was when it was born was all based on critical thinking and mistrust of the government, right? Well, classical liberalism is like what founded this country. Well, sure, sure, sure, sure, sure. Of course, of course, of course. But in the wake of the Vietnam War, like if the government told you to eat white bread, most liberals were like, no, I'm eating wheat bread just because the government told you.

But somewhere along the way, there's been a shift on the left from the sort of classical liberalism and tolerance and diverse set of ideals to believing everything the government says, hook, line and sinker with no critical thinking. Just got to not be a conservative. That's it. So even now, when Fauci is like, you can take off your mask if you're vaccinated they're like no no because then people will think i'm a conservative well who who cares what is it that their whole identity is built upon hating somebody that's it it's like what are your politics i just hate that guy is that it that's right that's that's part of the reason why that's part of the reason why

you know i i think it's very important to be a happy warrior right because you know as if you're running a campaign you know one of the things you have to do is draw a contrast right give people a choice right and i think one of the ways i think the radical left today's day and age they're pretty unhappy they're unhappy and they i feel like they're unhappy a lot and i'll tell you this in the past year two years we have seen the biggest de-radicalization of the left that we've probably ever seen in this country i'm pretty impressed so a lot of people i knew from occupy wall street the antifa far leftists they're cheering for major pharmaceutical companies they're cheering for the fbi and the government and i'm like i see their posts. I'm

not kidding. Like Antifa types saying like, yay, FBI, you go get Giuliani. And I'm like, I'm glad to see that you've reformed your ways and you're pro federal government. And they're like, well, I mean, it's different now because they're going to people I like. And I'm like, yeah. So you like the FBI, right? Like that's cool. I remember when you thought they were bad and wanted to like, you know, you hated the government and were protesting all the time. Now you're now you're cheering for the time. Now you're cheering for the government. Now you're cheering for the massive multinational pharmaceutical company. So, hey, good for you.

I thought you were kind of off the deep end. They don't seem to self-reflect. Ten years ago, they were like Monsanto bad. These big pharmaceutical companies are evil. Now they're like, yay, which team are you on? Yeah, well, you know, yeah, I think that's why the Republican Party, they've got a tremendous opportunity. Right. I just I think that, you know, gosh, President Trump, he brought about a a massive shift in the Republican Party, especially in Pennsylvania. Right. a massive shift in the Republican Party, especially in Pennsylvania, right? Where in the span of four years, the Republican Party has become less the part.

I mean, in fact, probably not at all at this point, the party of large corporations to the party of the working man and woman. Like the shift is like unbelievable. Yeah, the Democrats are the party of the elites, the wealthy elites. And the college professors and the Hollywood people. The highest income earners in the country have been demanding for four years that the working class pay off all of their debts. And we're to the point now where Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders have entertained stripping the value from the working class savings to pay off the debts of the highest income earners in the country. I want everyone to think about that for two seconds. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren were in favor of stripping the savings,

devaluing the savings of the working class to pay off the highest income earners' debts. That's absolutely correct. That's college degrees. Yes. People with college degrees make substantially more than people without it, and those people are demanding the poor pay their bills for them. I'm not all about that.'s wrong that is wrong and that that's you're 100 correct how is how is how is have the conservatives moved like they appear to be even lefter than many of the modern democrats like no no joke you've got the the trump supporters many are working class

union guys who want their factories back. And then you've got the university leftists with their degrees and their Hillary Clinton and their hedge funds and their super PACs. And then you see the neocons, Lincoln Project people joining the Democrats. How is it that Republicans are left of the establishment Democrats? They're defending the workers' rights, not the Democrats. The Democrats are stripping away their rights, stripping away their value, giving money to the bourgeoisie. Look, I think the Republican Party has to embrace this new identity, this new working class identity. These are our people. These are the people that built this country, right?

And I think that we have to – I think that we've got to be there for them. We can't shun them. I mean, Jim Banks had a memo. that built this country, right? And I think that we have to, I think that we've got to be there for them. We can't shun them. I mean, Jim Banks had a memo. If you've seen Jim Banks' memo, the working class memo, and basically it's, Congressman Banks is,

I think he's great, but he's got a memo out there about the path forward for the Republican Party. And it's like a two-page plan of what the Republican Party needs to do to be successful. It's awesome. And we should totally embrace it. You should Google it right now and have a look at it.

But it's something that we should definitely look. It's showing up for the people. Here's what you do. You just write down what Ron DeSantis does and then just be like what he said. He's coming to Pittsburgh tomorrow. I'm going to be with him tomorrow. Excellent. He's coming to our Lincoln.

He's been doing a fantastic job. He's coming to Pittsburgh tomorrow. I'm going to be with him tomorrow. Excellent. He's coming to our Lincoln. He's been doing a fantastic job. He's far from perfect. Look, he's balanced. He's balanced, you know, protecting people from a global pandemic with people's freedom. Right. And he's done social media censorship and social media censorship. Yeah. He's done a pretty darn good job.

You know, there are concerns about what people people people question conservatives his stance on free speech issues like he may be opposed to the censorship but it's aimed mostly at affecting politicians and then there are some issues around people's right to free speech i think relating to israel that people are concerned about but i look at you know i don't just see like one thing and say flush the baby out the bathwater i'm like and romanda santos is doing it pretty well texas is doing pretty well uh too their their social media bill apparently is is much much better and we need to see we need to see more red states start having this aggressive legislation to go after these companies and these and these things because i'll tell you florida has this bill that's, I believe, I believe that

Nesantis may have already signed it or is about to sign it, which gives protections to individuals, companies, news organizations, and politicians when it comes to censorship. However, Facebook, as Ian points out, could be like, then we're cutting off Florida. And if you have a Florida IP, you can't access the service anymore. Sure. Then what happens in West Virginia, Tennessee, Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, Georgia, they all start lining up with the exact same legislation. Okay, then Facebook only exists in New York and California. How about that? No, they wouldn't want that. That would destroy the company. So they would say, okay, fine, you win. We'll stop censoring conservatives. You know, one of the biggest problems that I have with politics right now is that I mentioned conservatives. Many Republicans seem to be more concerned about the

opinion of the New York Times than their their constituents like they're more worried than your time they'll say about them than their own constituents yeah you you look at what the media says and they lie every single day they say there is no bias against conservatives and i'm like but you're the one it was gizmodo that broke the first story one of the first that facebook was censoring conservative news outlets now they changed their tune because they realized it's a good thing. These journalists who first reported it were like, oh, look what I found. Then they were like, no, no, no, no, no, no. We like that they're censoring these ideas because then people can't have them.

If they don't share the ideas, they won't know. So keep them ignorant. Keep them in the dark. Treat them like mushrooms. You know, you feed them crap and you keep them in the dark. So now you're going to start seeing a lot of states, hopefully, start picking this up. I'm stoked when I look at the past 10 years and I see how many states have adopted constitutional carry. Fantastic.

It's remarkable. I didn't even realize that in the 80s you couldn't even get a concealed carry permit in most states. It was like May issue. They tell you to screw off. Now it's constitutional carry. You walk in. You pass a background check. You walk out with a gun and you can be carrying it, concealing it, whatever.

Fantastic. Protecting people's rights. Let's see the same thing across the board at the state level. The states need to start passing these laws. Local is where it's at. Yes. Yes. I would also say that I think it's very the states that do the best have a great communication between their federal office holders, the governor and the state legislatures. Right. So I think, yes, I think a governor can have an unbelievable power. If he's got a legislature that's willing to work with him, they can get a lot of things done and bring about profound positive change in people's lives.

I think you take that to the next level where you've got a governor that's communicating seamlessly with a senator or congressmen or women, and everything is working like a smoothly oiled machine, that's how you do it. And that's really what we're trying to do in Pennsylvania with regards to uniting the Republican Party, both in Washington, D.C. as a candidate for Senate, as a liaison to the federal government, but also working hand in glove with those state representatives who are boots on the ground in their communities every day and making sure our messaging is on point, our organizing is on point, our fundraising is on point. And we're advocating for policies that are the best for all of Pennsylvania at every level. Right. I'm concerned that

just the fragmentation of the U.S. is getting too severe. You know, when you look at these cities, they got rising crime. They have ongoing riots. And they just, for whatever reason, you get more far leftists in. And then I can only imagine that in the red areas, people are separating each other. You know, like how many people have moved to Texas recently? Tons of personalities that are conservative are fleeing to Texas. So Texas is going to become increasingly more red.

The blue areas will become increasingly more blue. And then there's going to be no real overlap I think I think there's some people that would say that there are leftists moving from California to Texas and that's why people are worried about Texas turning blue right there's this whole Texas turning blue movement so that's why people are leaving uh people are leaving states where they voted in Democrat leadership for 30 years and then going and essentially voting the same way in Texas. And I don't think Texas is going to turn blue, but people always talk about it. I think now it won't because people who are fleeing to Texas are conservative or at least opposed to the Democrats.

They saw a huge rise in homeless in Austin recently. I mean, it might just be everywhere in all these metropolitan cities. Evictions are starting up, I think, in two months because the moratorium was ended. In Texas? Everywhere. So we were on the verge of looking at millions upon millions of evictions.

They said on 6th Street in Austin, it's just like tent city. And California, not just in Venice, in California and LA, there's just tent city up and down. I heard something scary. What streets? It's a video rumor going around

that the US government is threatening subsidies of farmers. So there's a thing, I think it's called fallowing, where they're basically paid not to grow food. Yeah. And so there's a concern right now

that because of the shortages and everything's happening and how the tax subsidies work, that we're like eight months out from some serious food shortages. I wouldn't be surprised. The idea that you can just stop an economy dead in its tracks and then snap your fingers and get it back going again, no.

The workers are displaced. What would be the end state for that? How could that possibly be a good thing? I haven't heard anything about that. I'm not saying it's a good thing. I'm not saying anybody wants to do it. I'm saying that the economy— But why would the federal government want to do it?

The system by which we have subsidies for farmers has created a circumstance based on everything that's happened, which is contributing to the probability of more... So there's already food shortages. I guess you're not seeing it in national news, but if you look at these local news outlets, they're talking about food shortages.

Now there's rumors that the supply chain disruption, the rising fuel costs have made everything substantially harder. Workers are displaced because of the pandemic. Many moved. They're not going to go back to those jobs. Right. People don't realize that the shortage we're seeing for like computer chips.

What do you think is going to happen with food? Like, do you think that food is immune from the shortages we're experiencing the economy? No, no, no. In fact, it's the the supply the logistics chain is is real right and you look at the look look at the cost of of food and and how much people are paying for certain things it's it's it is absolutely concerning and my my fear is that you know because i mean we're seeing inflation now you know i think i think that i think the federal government like they're not going to hard default on our debt, right?

I do think our debt and deficit issues are the greatest leadership challenge that my generation of leaders are going to face, right? It's a big deal. We've got to figure out what to do with our debt and deficit. But, you know, we're not going to hard default on our debt but i do think what what the plan is is is a soft default which is to purposefully inflate our currency so that the value of our debt is worth less right and and and i think that's what you're seeing right now and i think that's what you're talking to right now and my fear is that we are on the brink of now i mean we're on the brink of what could be a recession, I think, a year from now. And hopefully we can pull ourselves out of it.

But we really have to start advocating for growth economic policies right away. We really have to start. I don't know how you fix this, man. It's a freight train on the tracks, and then they just stopped it. And then all the carts flew up in the air from the inertia and just scattered all over. And now they're like, all right, set the train up again. And you're like, bro, one cart rolled down the mountain. It's in the ocean.

I don't even know how to get that back up here. So when they shut down the economy, and this idea that you could just start it up again is ludicrous. Let's say you've got 10 employees making $16 an hour at a restaurant. Economy shuts down. These people who are in their early 20s decide to move back home. They go to the suburbs to stay with their parents. Okay, start the economy back up. Restaurant goes.

We don't have any employees. We have to rehire everybody to start. We don't have any money. Food all spoiled. You can't just do it. We just spent an entire week going all across the state talking to business owners from erie down to south philly and they've all had that problem it is not imaginary and and nobody wants to work when you're getting paid more not to work yeah and you're right like they're having

issues uh both in shipping and logistics and food processing and finding finding truck drivers and the cost of fuel has made it more difficult on truck drivers to get from point A to point B. I mean, there are issues at every level. I mean, again, I think it can be saved, but it's going to take leadership and focus and clear communication, clear, honest communication with the American people, which, you know, is not Joe Biden's strong suit. So, you know, look's that's why it's so that's why it's so important to win in 2022 that's why the slogan is win pennsylvania save america i want to bring up a story we have here this is really cool and uh i was i was so i saw this story

over at daily mail it's body cam captures moment cop single-handedly lifts overturned car off virginia mother thrown outside vehicle after crash and first of all i was like dude that is cool a cop to save a woman lifted the vehicle by himself amazing wow now i think it was upside down and he like was able to push it off and roll it or something but i was also thinking like you rarely see these stories go viral exactly i was just sitting here thinking the same thing it's it's you know you got all of this anti-police rhetoric every single day which is of course why you're seeing uh violent crime rise in in a city like philadelphia it's it's and

you talk about like removing a cop's qualified immunity like i'll give give your your viewers an example of what that means like as a soldier on battlefield, you've got protection in that regard, too. So in other words, if one of my soldiers gets injured, I run out and I try to, you know, give for render first aid. Maybe they got a sucking chest wound and we save their life, put them on a helicopter, get them back to the States. And maybe they have an issue with their lungs. Right. Like should that soldier be able to sue the federal government or the department of defense because he was wounded on the battlefield right now it's illegal you can't do that because at the end of the day like you're in combat like you're surrounded by death and destruction like you're doing the best you

can to so the government is immune from the dod or or or the army in general so what does this mean for the cop well the cop what it means for the cop is is that you know if a cop is out there like just trying to do their job and they can be sued by they can be sued by anybody for doing anything 800 absolutely so it's like defunding you're 100 right it's like defunding the police without actually def right they're all it's all they're going to be yes i think that that was a challenge because i'm not entirely sure you know how you deal with it just not being able to. Maybe there should be a higher burden or something because when we had, I think Chauvin,

they said he had 19 complaints or something out of 18 years. And I'm like, actually, it sounds pretty good. You'd think a cop is like, I'm writing you a ticket. I'm going to complain about you. It's like everyone's going to complain. Nobody wants to get pulled over. Nobody wants to get arrested. The point, what we're talking about though,

is like to your point, it's like all we hear is the negative. But cops, they are out there every single day putting it all on the line, doing good things for people. And this story is just one example of it. It's a cool story. Let me show a little bit. So this is a vehicle flipped over, and the officer was able to lift it up to save the individual. I mean, I'll just give you the bold points here. They say Gloucester County Sheriff Deputy John Holt rescued the woman when she had been trapped under the sunroof of the

car after it wrecked on May 7th. Her young son is heard desperately crying out mommy, mommy before the deputy was able to rescue her. The incredible video has since gone viral after being shared on Tuesday by the sheriff's office with more than 84,000 views on Facebook. That's not viral. 84,000 views, not viral. You can go on Twitter and there's a video of some random dude farting. It's got a million views. Don't talk about viral. They say he recently received a local

and regional top cop award for saving a disabled young girl and a woman from a burning home last March. But I still see this and I'm like, I've heard these stories about how people can muster up inhuman strength because humans are actually much stronger than we are on a daily basis. I don't know exactly how it works, but I read there's like a limiter that humans only exert around 20% of their actual muscular capacity. How do you know this stuff?

I'm on Reddit. Someone posted like, did you know? I'm just like. I don't know if it's true. You've got to fact affect me on this one but it's something like we have we there's a limit to how much strength we can use unless we get our adrenaline pumping and there's a live or die moment because your muscles start destroying themselves when you exert too much but what you hear these stories about like a mother and she's able to like pull her daughter up like hanging from with one arm and lift them up and then pull

herself up to save a child or like lift a vehicle. These are cool stories. And so I want to make sure like we're not always just stewing in the negativity, but there's still some negativity here. What happens on Facebook? I saw a video going viral today and it was like it was on Reddit and it was like a cop kicks a man in the head, even though he's already subdued and is being arrested. And it was true. There's a video of a guy's on the ground, his hands behind his back,

the cops cuffing him and a cop runs up and just punts his head. And I'm like, now why would that cop do that? More importantly, I've seen this video a thousand times because it gets recycled. They put it up, it gets traffic, they put it up again. This story, 84,000 views, a cop lifted a vehicle to save a woman. How many times is that going to get recycled. It gets traffic. They put it up again. This story, 84,000 views. A cop lifted a vehicle to save a woman. How many times is that going to get recycled? It's not. It only got 84,000 views. I see this video on Reddit.

It's got a million views. In a week, it'll have a million views again. In a month, it'll have a million views again because they keep sharing the same things over and over and over again. Social media companies and search engines control what you see. And when you control the flow of information you control what people think in in certain regards and now people hate the police i mean look you look at the algorithms and what they've produced over the past 10 years it sounds like jack dorsey and mark zuckerberg purposefully want to destroy this country they have driven people insane they they they there are people

who literally believe the cops go around hunting black people they actually believe them that. So PragerU, they send out Will Witt. Will goes to Venice Skate Park in California, the same skate park we were talking about just a moment ago, and he asks three young black men how many unarmed black men do they think had been killed in the past year, and they're like, thousands. It's like 19. It's bad. Like 19 people.

But we're in a country of 320 million people. What is it, 375 million police interactions, 19 of which resulted in unarmed black men being shot and killed. And of those, some of them are actually justified in like a guy was trying to run someone over. So he's not armed, but he's using a car or they're about to attack someone or they're about to like, they grab somebody by the throat and they're beating them or pummeling them or sometimes it's it was it was a it was a wrongful you know shooting in in some circumstances they're all bad we don't want people to die of course not but because of social media because they weaponize this stuff everyone goes insane and don't get me wrong it goes the other direction too

what you see on the left today is i think social media has has helped form the culture war into fact in a faction into factions of people who blindly just believe whatever the media says, no matter what. And the people who, for the most part, distrust the media with a decent portion who distrust no matter what the media says, that they'll distrust them. So you end up with people who believe the earth is flat or who believe in these weird conspiracy theories about lizard people because they go online and they can find this stuff and they believe it. And I hear some of the craziest stuff when I read the news.

But do those people have any institutional power? The people who think the earth is flat, are they in Congress? No. Well, people believe in God. I mean, that's almost as ridiculous. No, absolutely not. There's zero evidence ever. I mean, you're going to ignite a whole other conversation.

It is. It's a big conversation. but there's not zero evidence the issue is if you don't talk about theism and like religious text and doctrine i'm not talking about that so i'm talking about people you could literally you could literally climb a tower and measure the the shadows and calculate the circumference of the planet like that dude uh eratosthenes did in 1 bc because you can disprove the earth earth is flat it's different than you can disprove the earth is flat. It's different than God. You can prove the earth is round.

Right. Believing in God and faith-based things and having philosophy is an entirely different discussion. Lizard people. I mean, it's a fake case. There's no evidence. Lizard people is dramatically different from believing in God, dude. But it's dramatically similar. No, it's not.

Yeah. There's just no evidence. I don't want to deviate and derail the conversation. from believing in God, dude. But it's dramatically similar. No, it's not. Yeah, there's just no evidence. I'm agnostic. I mean, you're... I don't want to deviate and derail the conversation. You're confusing philosophical and theological conversations

with text and fairy tales. Well, there's text about the flat Earth. That's where it comes from. Yeah, but there's no scientific... The firmament and things like that. Okay. Yeah, it was before science was invented. People go online and they watch insane videos about insane things and they believe it.

They go online and they read books about, you know, they see things about critical race theory. It's insane and they believe it. And it's bad. Zealotry and fundamentalism. All of these things are problems. They exist. So the problem is we need critical thinking.

Instead, we get critical theory and then people just blindly follow and march off cliffs like linings well and it's it's it's it's it's not just social media right like a much of the sort of propaganda that is pushed on people on social media is also taught in schools and so we're teaching our kids from a very young age in our public schools like critical race theory for example that you know teaches kids to dislike each other or think about each other based on the color of their skin or hate their country or hate their country or think that America is fundamentally evil or bad. And this this is a problem.

And not only is it happening in our schools now, it's happening in our military. Right. Like there are ideological purity tests for people. The Miller teaching critical race theory in the military. And I'm telling you, look, I got out. I was medically retired in 2010. So it wasn't that long ago. I mean, we're talking like 11 years ago I got out.

This stuff was nowhere to be found in the military because it ain't about you right in the military one of the things they teach you at basic is that it's okay all of this like you know it ain't about you anymore so we're going to shave your head we're going to put you in a uniform you're we're only as fast this team is only as fast as its slowest person we're all going to make our bed the same way our lockers are all going to be the same way because what they're doing there is creating they're whittling down the individual identity and they're creating a collective right and that and look past our differences work together but that but that that that is sounds a bit like what the critical theorists do but that's that's not but but see the the difference is is that the focus in in critical race theory is only on our differences right that that's that's a fundamental difference

and in the military, that can get you killed. Because the goal of critical theory is to destroy. It's to deconstruct. Yes. Look, I've known many of these people for a long time,

and they have routinely expressed their desire is to destroy the system. They just want to watch. Some say, I just want to watch it burn. Some say, from the ashes of the old, we will build the new.

That's the idea. So critical theory is their means to an end they think they will just they will deconstruct everything make it impossible to have communications they will fracture any ability for a collective identity within the united states and after that it's rubble then they'll come back with their you know whatever communism socialism we were always taught growing up that the reason why america was such a wonderful player part of the reason uh was that we have people from all over the world that come here to live the american dream uh be free give a good life to their kids why because america is a melting pot do you remember that do you ever were you ever taught that as a course the great american melting pot yes well america right now it's a melting pot that's not melting and that that's that's a problem critical theory is trying to

re-emulsify the differences whereas we used to believe that you throw everybody in the melting pot and you get a nice fondue with a bunch of different flavors they're actually trying to reverse entropy to get the pepper jack back out of the fondue compare you just compare america and the american people to fondue i've never i've never actually melting pot back out of the fondue. Do you just compare America and the American people to fondue? I've never actually. You said melting pot. I've never had fondue. It's good.

It's a melting pot. What is it? It's melted cheese. I talk about derailing the conversation. I'm sorry, but I don't know what fondue is. Fondue is a melting pot. My diet. You get a little thing.

You throw cheddar and you throw in Swiss and pepper jack and whatever. And then you turn it on and it melts all of the cheeses together. And then you dip stuff in the cheese. It sounds like something that you would really like. It's incredible. We have one on the counter right now. Of course you do. Or you can take like oil, some garlic,

some vinegar, soy sauce, and then boil it and you put the meat in it. It blends everything. It's just a pot for you. It sounds a little adventurous to me. Like if I go to a restaurant, you give me dino chicken nuggets, some tater tots, I am good. Here's the point. I eat like a two-year-old the great american i don't know how

we're here i don't know how we got here it's a great american melting pot right you get some some chihuahua cheese from mexico you get some american cheese from america you get some some good uh dubliner from from ireland i think it's from ireland and then uh then you throw it all in a pot and it all melts together. And we're like, this is some great cheese. What is it? I just mixed a bunch of stuff together. I do it all the time. I take like Colby Jack and Pepper Jack and Swiss and Havarti.

And I just blend it up and I make nachos. And I'm like, isn't it amazing that you can get this great blend of cheeses? You ever have four cheese pizza? What? Like DiGiorno? Yeah. You're like, I'll take the four cheese pizza what could you what like dijorno yeah you go you're like i'll take the four cheese now imagine if you're hanging out with someone they were like

can i take the ricotta out of the ricotta out of this pizza and you're like it's all blended together yeah i know but we should remove it yeah at some point like that's critical theory or i only want to eat the i only want to eat that little bit yeah yeah no uh and the rest is wasted after after you only yeah mozzarella supremacy needs to end our our pizzas should have different cheeses so get the mozzarella out you're like but we melted it all together well in the future let's actually put blocks so that your pizza is actually i mean this that what you're saying is accurate i mean they're actually like in certain colleges they're having graduations i mean they're segregated dorms this is they're like this is not progressive this this is like to be a progressive in today's day and age is actually to be a regressive.

They're going backwards in time with this stuff. But they love using language. That's why. So I see on Twitter they're like, oh, right. Critical race theory is diversity and inclusion. There's a reason why they say diversity, inclusivity, and equity. You got to tell me, right? diversity, inclusivity, and equity. You got to tell me, right? Diversity, inclusivity, and equity.

Oh, I see what you did there. I didn't do that. I didn't even realize it. Diversity, inclusivity, and equity. These are the things they're calling for. They're literally saying die. I don't know why they do that. They could not do that.

They do control. The, they do use they like they do control. The left does an extraordinary job at controlling the language. Right. And that's what that's what we're talking about now. Like critical race theory is is inherently bad for the country, as we mentioned, to teach people to hate their country. But they mask it and shroud it in words that sound nice. They literally create diversity, inclusivity, and equity positions. Could you imagine someone hiring a special person in a company and they say, this is our die manager?

Die. And it's like, it's a little weird. Yeah, well, hopefully they don't use the acronym or come up with something different or reshuffle the word. But it's almost like they're laughing in our faces. You've got. Why? Why do these? Why are companies hiring diversity officers?

What does that mean? It doesn't mean anything. It's doublespeak. It's 1984. Right. It's basically in communist China. Companies have to have the communist party member in the United States, they're just getting these companies to create an ideological dogmatic job that makes no sense other than to indoctrinate the employees.

What I'll say is that, you know, specifically in the context of the military, because I've been speaking out about this, but like diversity is a good thing. Like in my platoon, we were very diverse. And because we were very diverse, we had a multitude of ideas that were brought to the table all the time, but you have to take diversity is, is it's, I don't want to say it's, it's meaningless, but it's, you have to have unity beyond the diversity in order for it all to work. Yeah. I think diversity is a result of empowering individuals with opportunity. The diversity then comes from that. You can't force.

I mean, if you force superficial diversity, you're going to end up with homogeneity. Homogeneity. That's it. And that's what we're seeing. That's why they call it critical race theory. It's got a term that encompasses all this. Well, it's critical theory.

So one of the other mistakes people make is they say critical race theory and they cut out the rest of it. It's like, no, it's critical theory in general. Yeah, there's critical gender theory. There's critical race theory and they cut out the rest of it. It's like, no, it's critical theory in general. Yeah, there's the critical gender theory. There's critical literature and critical literature theory. And I would say that true diversity is actually a huge strength because it brings people together. You're capitalizing on the things that make them different.

Yeah. That bring those good, strong components to your team. Of course. For example, in your platoon that you were leading, you need all these people with different strengths. Of course. Actual diversity is pivotal. It's great. Exactly.

Yeah. But you're unified. Right. Right. You're unified. Yes, we're all different. But that's part of what makes America great. Yes, we're all different.

But we bring aspects of our culture that we love and we're proud of and we integrate into American society. And then we share those blessings with other people. Right. Like that's what makes this country great that's why people risk their lives to come here from cuba and shark infested waters they don't come here because they believe america is is fundamentally evil they come here because they believe america is free and their kids can have a better life than them but the new the the radical left does not believe that they're taking this country back in the wrong direction.

And we have to stop them. We have to stop them. This guy just won by 30 points in Philadelphia. In Philadelphia in a primary. In a primary. Yeah, but where are the Democrats to be like, yo, this is bad. No, they're going in that direction. I think that most of the leadership, and I can't speak for people, right,

but I would assume that most of the leadership in the Democrat Party knows that this ain't good. It's not good for them. They can't do anything about it. I hope not. You were talking about how the left controls language. And I was just looking up who owns Merriam-Webster. It's owned, which is the dictionary. It's owned by Encyclopedia Britannica Incorporated, which is owned by Jacques Safra.

I don't know who he is, but he's a millionaire Brazilian investor from Geneva. Huh. Descendant of Syrian-Lebanese-Swiss Jewish Safra banking family. This guy's basically overseeing the definitions of the words. Dictionary.com is woke. Yeah. Yeah, they're super woke.

So they're like, their definitions, they have recursive definitions. Which definition was it? Uh, I don't remember. So they're like, their definitions, they have recursive definitions. Which definition was it? I can't remember. That became recursive? Was it gender or something? Yeah, something like that. So they ended up, I can't remember what word was, but dictionary.com created a definition of a word that included its own word in its definition, which becomes recursive.

So it just basically, you can't define a word by itself but they did anyway because it's wokeness it's just it's meaningless like we're we're off we're offloading the the responsibility of creating the definition of words to corporations and individuals that have political leanings that own the corporations that's insane how do we create like a decentralized definition a system of definitions there's's Wiktionary. Here's the problem, man. The left is on the assault and the conservatives are sitting back with their feet up. No, that's right.

Or just conservatives in general are on the defensives, to your point. Right, never going on the offensive. One of the number one things, and this is reflected in polling right that that conservative or republican voters want in a candidate is someone who's willing to fight and not back down it's one of the top issues and you know that's what people have in me that's for sure uh but i think it's also again you just you can't back down you know what i well you know what i want i want a republican candidate who is going to vow to create universal uh gun ownership like like you know open carry no no universal gun ownership meaning oh just we're gonna mandate it mandate it mandate so you want the government to force people to have guns yes i don't know that i i don't like the government see here's here's the

issue the left comes out and says and this is you, you know, shout out to Michael Malice. The left comes out and says, we want universal health here. We want the government to ban private health insurance, take it all away from you, and then run it themselves. That's Bernie Sanders' plan. The Republicans say, no, wait, don't. The Democrats say, we want to take all your guns away. The Republicans say, no, wait, don't't where's the republican to say i demand the government buy everyone a gun right now so how about not mandatory but the government is obligated

to give every citizen a gun at the age of 16 you'll go to the department of gun services you'll fill out the basic knowledge test wait the department of gun services so now we're growing the government now there's a new there's a new Now there's a new branch? Yes. So it's going to be like a DMV called the DGS. You go in, and if you want your free government-issued gun, it would probably be crappy, mind you. Yes, of course. But you get a rifle and a handgun and a box of ammo for each. You'll fill out a form, basic questions, gun safety.

Then they'll take you to the range. You'll do your standard shooting test. And then they'll hand you your two weapons and say, have a nice day the republicans don't do things like that and i get it they're like we don't want more government to do these things well if the only thing the republicans are ever going to do is say no wait don't then the democrats will keep winning because the democrats are offering things to people this is what i was saying you have to be able to articulate you have to be able to articulate so when republicans say, I want low taxes and a strong economy. But you have to be able, as a candidate, to explain to people why that matters in their life. Right.

You know, like we want our economy to be strong. We want there to be jobs. Right. Like we want when kids graduate from school. There's a reason why there's a census population decrease in Pennsylvania. We're losing a congressional district because people are moving away. Why? Because we don't have the economic diversity

to sustain the jobs that kids would want to get when they graduate from school. We want that talent here, right? I got an idea for the Republican Party. Is it another gun department? No, no, no, no. If you don't want to expand government, it's simple. Will the Republicans repeal the nfa what is what do you

mean what do you the national firearms act so it bans a whole bunch of guns it assault rifles have been banned since going back to was like the 20s when the nfa was passed selected fire rifles can't be owned by civilians not that i think anybody you know tactically would want one but it's very difficult to get you have to to go through it. Like an automatic. Yeah. So automatic suppressors or even short-barreled rifles or putting a stock on a pistol. You can't do these things. The Republicans often say, no, wait, don't. Well, the Democrats say, gimme, gimme, gimme. And so, okay, if the Republicans don't want to increase the size of government, how about harsh decrease in size of government? How about repealing federal gun laws?

Well, I mean, I would not start there. I would start with the Department of Education. I agree. I think we start there. I would also then go to the IRS. Yeah. The tax code is longer than the Bible bible and there's not a single good word in it right so we need to simplify it simplify these chunks out when i say that we need to

shrink the size and scope of the federal government this is what i mean right like the education should not be something that's handled at the federal level education is local right every local community is different and every local community is uniquely equipped to handle the education needs of their communities and their children. Right. So I would start at the Department of Education. Then I'd move to the IRS and I would just continue down the line because. Department of Education. I agree with.

Yes. You don't agree with the IRS. Oh, no, I do. I do. I'm saying starting with the Department of Education. Starting. Starting with gun laws is more bombastic. It's more like meant to be like, ah, you know, we're going to do something. You of Education. Oh, starting there. Starting with gun laws is more bombastic.

It's more like meant to be like, ah, we're going to do something. You want something? Yeah, you're doing what the left would do. They just go big, bold, right in your face. Right, right. No, in that capacity, yes. But I'm not – so they're restrictive. The banning of private health care I think is insane. If you want private health care, you can have it.

I think a lot of these companies are bad and they suck. But, hey, it's your choice, right? So that's why I've been like, yeah, public option. How about that? You want the government to do it, you can have it. I think a lot of these companies are bad and they suck, but hey, it's your choice, right? So that's why I've been like, yeah, public option. How about that? You want the government to do it? You can pay for that. If you want the private company to do it, you pay for that. Most of these companies – I'm sorry.

Most countries do not abolish private health insurance. Bernie Sanders is extremely radical on this. So I'm like, okay, what's one of the most radical things a Republican could do in terms of limiting government and giving back people their rights is repealing laws. Just start repealing these ridiculous laws. I mean, maybe you should. I think you've got a platform, I think. Oh, if I had a platform, it would be nuts, and I don't think. Well, I think you have a platform.

I'd be like, okay, first and foremost, weed, legal, immediately. No more schedule of any of that stuff. And a full pardon. Wait, of just no more schedule of any drugs or just weed? Weed. However, in terms of the war on drugs in general, we've got to stop all that. We've got to figure something else out. It's not working. So if the goal is to get people to not do drugs, we need to do something radically different. Now, I would not immediately do a dramatic policy and just get rid of all the schedules because you don't want to flip the boat over because you've got a problem with the boat.

You want to go through it and take notes of things and come up with a plan. You want to be deliberate. You want to be slow. Right, exactly. And a lot of what we see from the left is like overhaul the system now. And you're like, I'd rather not burn it down because we're upset with it. We might have to take our time and it might be boring and it might suck, but let's chill a little bit. But I'm very much opposed to the war on drugs.

I think we need – the Constitution needs to be reaffirmed dramatically. Like the rights of the Constitution need to be – we need to sort through that. Someone asked me a question today. If you win, what's the criteria you're going to look at when confirming judges? Right. If you're voting to confirm a justice on the Supreme Court. And to me, it's well, for one, let's make sure that whoever that person is adheres to the Constitution and believes it as it's written. That matters. And in many ways ways like especially what you saw in the wake of the 2020 election even with unilateral changes to election law unconstitutional changes

to election law like the question is does the constitution matter anymore or not if you know it does to me and you know and you look at at this off-cycle election it wasn't just a da's race it was judges right you know republicans republic Republicans got strong judge candidates in every level now because I think we realize the importance of electing good judges. We elect judges in Pennsylvania. I got an idea. You know what I would consider doing? Running for office as a Republican with some very serious proposals to force the Republican candidate to move.

So I'd be like – To move to the right. To move to the right. Not necessarily to the right. Just move in general in different areas. So I don't know if total decriminalization of marijuana is a conservative position, but I think it would force the Republican candidate to adopt a more modern position, whatever it may be, or at least clarify and stick a stance on it. Gun rights, I think Republicans would overwhelmingly

just outright favor. If I said I want to repeal the overwhelming majority of federal gun laws and I want to establish like strict rights for what it means to keep and bear arms codified, you can, you know, like legal like legal concealed carry across the board. I guess you run into a problem with states' rights and that, but get rid of the federal laws at least. And then what happens is I just say like a whole bunch of things where I'm like, here's what needs to happen. I think there's a case to be made for a federal carry law.

But the states have a right to control their own. Of course, to control their own gun laws. But, you know, if, yeah. And then if they violate the rights. I do support a constitutional carry provision. I do think there's some wisdom in being able to carry across state lines and not be thrown in jail for it, I think. Federally, you can. They protect you.

But the states don't care. That's the problem. So that's actually the limit on the federal government. It's not all bad i just think it's it's problematic that you know the atf can like shoot a lady and kill her kid and burn down a house with a bunch of kids in it you know what i mean and then they celebrate this every year on twitter yeah those people are kind of nuts so uh maybe the left where are they at they want to abolish the police can we start with like i don't know like the atf or something yes yeah so you know local cops you cops, okay, we'll deal with that.

But they want to abolish the DHS. I'm like, okay, well, let's get the conversation going. What if when you cross state borders, you got a text that showed you, that sent you a link to all the laws that are different between this state and the state that you just came from? Nah. Because people don't know the difference in the laws. That's a big problem.

Man, we are solving the problems of the world right if only people listen to us you know if only people were watching this i know how about we see what the people have to say the super chats if you have not done so already please help us out with a like by tapping that like button very ever ever so gently easy and uh is it is greatly appreciated and share the show if you like it but uh also go to timcast.com and become a member. We'll have a bonus segment coming up later tonight. Let's read some super chats. I'm sorry, good sir, with the first super chat.

I can't read your name because YouTube has blocked it. But they said, hey, Tim and gang, thoughts on YouTubers running for office. Many say they feel they are making more of a difference with what they do, but they have the support to get elected in a way others don't. Oh. Maybe. I wonder what the laws are with, like, let's have the support to get elected in a way others don't. Oh, maybe. I wonder what the laws are with, like, let's say I decided to run for office and actually won. Like, would I be able to do this?

I don't think so. Yeah, no, I think you would. I mean, Ted Cruz, Senator Cruz has a podcast. Yeah. But I wonder how much time is consumed. I mean, this is more effective than fundraising. Senator Cruz is a United States senator, and he still manages to do a podcast. So I don't know that you – Yeah, but I'm doing –

I think you could still – I know you work – I know you're like – Three hours a day. I know. You work – Reporting with like five to eight hours of research. Yeah. So, I mean, maybe. That'd be great.

I'd be like – I would probably not be allowed access to any kind of privy to information because I just I'm not going to lie to people you know it's interesting you ever see or read Watchmen? Oh yeah of course. Rorschach at the end you know Veith has basically tricked the people into ending the Cold War

and Rorschach's opinion is no the people have a right to know what happened and I agree. And then. But there's I wouldn't say I'm as morally absolutist as he is in that position. He would rather let the world destroy itself. And what's the blue dude's name? Dr. Manhattan.

Dr. Manhattan just blows him up. Yeah. It's amazing. It's great writing. So Rorschach, the character, says that the people deserve to know the truth because it was a false flag attack that unified, you know. Oh, yeah. States. I think the people have a deserve to know the truth because it was a false flag attack that unified you know oh yeah the states i think the people have a right to know i don't think you know you get like the new york times saying don't tell people about the gas shortage because they'll panic my attitude is that people have a right to know what's happening well that was sort of like dr fowl dr fauci early on in the pandemic saying don't wear masks right you don't need masks

he was hoarding he was hoarding it's kind of like military command you can probably speak to this like you don't want to panic the troops so you they're on a need-to-know basis and as the commander-in-chief of the military you're kind of in a similar position you don't want to alarm the populace if you don't need to yeah i'm much more libertarian i think people have right to know i i would say there i i i mean i'm i am i'm libertarian as in in some as well, but not in this one. I think that there are national security issues that aren't for public consumption. There just are. All right, let's read some more.

We got Lethal Blades says, hey, Tim, you should have on guns and gadgets if you want to talk gun laws and what is coming down the pipe. And if you want to talk commie guns and having fun with guns, you should have on Brandon Herrera, a.k.a. the AK guy? He owns and operates an AK factory in the U.S. Oh, cool. There you go. Eric, I'm sorry, Trash Panda says, Tim, 2018. You know, I think we can have some sensible gun control. Tim, 2021.

Free AK-47s for everyone. Yes. I think that's accurate. Yep. I love it. Well, also kudos for the name, Trash Panda. Trash Panda. Eric Ace is glad to see Sean Parnell back.

Please invite Madison Cawthorn on as well. You know what the problem is with inviting politicians? They always say the same thing. They say, I'd love to come on the show. Email this person and we'll get it sorted. And then we email the person and they just never respond. Wait a second. Are you classifying me as a politician?

Because I'm going to throw up in my mouth. You're sitting here. I'm saying when we hit up politicians, they're always like, yes, we want to come on the show. And then they just email this person. Nothing happens. Yeah. You're actually here. You've been here a lot.

A lot. Yeah. I'm not afraid of conversations. Here's what I understand. The left weaponizes anything they can get against you right and if they have nothing they make things up so you might as well just get out there yeah all right evil zombie hamster says check out 3d printed arms for chickens chicken city could have chickens with hulk arms running oh chicken city this is your thing now right i see you post on instagram about chicken city tell me we're we're

gonna put it we got the chicken coop outside. I saw that. It's got little houses in it. And we're going to put cameras in it. And then we're going to create a 24-7 live stream of the Chicken City. Chicken City reminds me of Tube City, like in the office where Michael Scott makes a Tube City for gerbils. Remember that? There you go.

That sounds awesome. And so what I want to do, and I don't know how we'll do it, I want to create a system where every $50 that comes in in Super Chats, it causes a cricket dispenser to drop some crickets. Oh, yeah. And then the chickens run over. See, this is why business is booming here at TimCast. It's these innovative things. Basically, what you're doing is creating a reality TV show for Chicken City. That's right.

And they all have names. And it could be a video game. They's right. And they all have names. And it could be a video. It could be a video game. They all have names. They all have names. I thought I was the only one here. I was thinking I was creating it. Okay.

They all have names. They do. Yes. They all have names. They do. And we'll create shirts and then people will join teams. Yeah. So there's like Vanessa.

Are you good? There's Sarah. Oh, you're you name them. Yeah. I named them all. They all have names. And so we're going to explain the names and then there's going to be drama and it's going

to be, you know, you'll see them fighting. Vanessa has quite a character. She does, yeah. We're going to do like a Bachelor thing because we're going to get a rooster. And then it's going to be like, which one will the rooster choose? All of them because it's a rooster. That'll be good. That'll be great.

We'll give them 3D printed arms. You know what I want to do? I was wondering if, like, is it possible? Is it the muscle strength of the chicken causing it not to be able to fly? And if there was a way we could do some kind of like carbon fiber mesh to expand their wings and give them like falcon yeah give a chicken a little falcon suit like in the avengers yeah yeah i think it's their weight would it also come equipped with little drones that would be fun maybe we need and goggles i know we could do hold on what if we we created a 3d printed harness

and we attached enough balloons to it to reduce the weight of a chicken so that it could fly properly. Oh, just having enough. So it's flying. Pokemon did that with Pikachu. I know this because my son... I think the balloon thing would work.

You don't put enough on it to where it can just drift off and it's gone. You just put enough on to where it's weighted down but it can jump way higher. What do you think what do you think the chicken would do freak out no i think it would just float around like go home maybe we start with only if i drive up to this place for a podcast and i see chickens floating around your house with balloons i'm

out of here going into space i'm out of here man but i want to we don't want to stress the chicken i love your show but that would be that would be like some Silent Hill stuff. You know what I mean? I did want to make 3D printed armor for them, though, so that they can't be killed by predators. Yes. Like a spike plate back armor. I thought about electrical stimulation to stimulate the muscles so they can carry the weight. But then I was thinking, you can't be hard on the chicken.

You've got to be good to the chickens. You guys have put a lot of thought into how to supercharge these chickens. What you're basically doing is trying to give super soldier serum or something like that to a chicken Iron Man suit. Yeah, like an Iron Man suit for the chickens.

Yes. I'm open to all. I was actually trying to figure out how to create a flight suit for Bucko. He's a cat. He needs one, yes. So the idea would be that when he jumps, right, they put their feet out and that would release carbon fiber and mesh wings and the tail

fin so that it would glide and then he wouldn't be able to fly but he'd be able to jump and glide and then land you know that's like the apex predator could you imagine like you're like a you're like a shrew or something and you see a cat and you're like i'll be all right i'll get up here and then the cat just glides across and like. And you're like, what's happening? You're just terrorizing all the small woodland creatures. Even more than he already does. Yeah. How would he retract his carbon fiber wings? When his arms go

down, they fold back in because it would be on a string that pulls the gears. You ever see those Boston Dynamic videos? They're like robot dogs and they're really super creepy and definitely scary. What you're doing is like creating animal cyborgs. Mm-hmm.

Yeah. That's terrifying. Yeah. That sounds great. I think they'd be into it. Wouldn't you be excited if you had a suit where when you jumped, like Batman cape like glided you down? If I had a bat, I mean, yeah. If I had a Batman suit, it would be amazing.

So how do you think the cats could feel? Like a real Batman suit with a real utility bill. Not something you buy at a Halloween store. It has to actually work. You know Batman, he jumps off the building and then his cape goes rigid and he glides? Yeah. Yeah. Memory cloth.

Right, exactly. How do you think the cat's going to feel when the bird is looking at him and then jumps over? I don't know how the cat's going to feel because the cat can't speak English. He's going to be so excited. I guarantee you that cat is going to look terrified. There's going to be a pigeon or something, and it's going to be up on the deck, and Bucko's going to walk up to it, and it's going to jump over to the other deck, and then it's going to be like, I'm all right, and it's just going to fly across.

It's going to be like, what is happening? The cat's flying. It's like the German Blitzkrieg. No one saw it coming. No one saw it coming. Spanish Inquisition. Those tanks were fast. God, you guys.

You guys. You know, you went from a standard podcast just four episodes ago to now creating cyborg chickens and cats. I have no idea what's coming. I don't. I mean, I don't. Chicken City is going to start up as pretty normal. Chicken City.

People are going to watch a live stream of chickens. And then what we're going to do is I'm trying to hire a composer to make me like beats oh yeah yeah and then eventually we'll create a channel we'll create a stream that's lo-fi hip-hop beats to watch chicken city too so now when people are like studying or whatever there's you know do you know what chicken city reminds me of it reminds me remember remember when when the left bought for that fakes the left left media bought the fake story that President Trump did nothing but watch Gorilla TV for four hours. I mean, I heard that and I thought like, well, that would kind of be a good channel. I think I would kind of watch that.

It was just gorillas fighting. It's like they totally wrote a story as if it were real. Do you remember that? No. We got to read a couple more. We got a little derailed there. All right. Sorry.

Let's see. No. All right. We got to read a couple more. We got a little derailed there. All right. Sorry. Let's see. Jordan says, happy 1 million TimCast IRL subscribers, Tim. And we did just get the gold award. It just came in the mail today. We got to put it up. Oh, yeah. Matthew Sage said, happily back and donate to Sean Parnell.

Any website, et cetera, to help raise money. I'm a state over, but we need level-headed and sane politicians all over. That means, I mean, if every one of your subscribers gave a buck, that's a big deal. A million bucks. Every subscriber. I mean, well. Not every subscriber watches every video. That's right. That's right.

Yeah. Yeah. All of everyone never does. Anything. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Yeah.

So, but it's still a profound impact, man. It's still a big impact. What's your website? Parnellforsenate.com. Right on. Perfect.com right on perfect all right matthew hemon says sean do you think we could have another contract with america that would allow populist candidates to focus on certain topics and elections and goals when elected i would recommend getting with jack murphy and billy prempeh to develop it i think that's really smart

i think i think it's really smart and this is remember that jim banks letter i told you about that's sort of like in this vein but it just yeah i think that's a good idea i think it's really smart. Remember that Jim Banks letter I told you about? That's sort of in this vein. But yeah, I think that's a good idea. I think that's a really good idea. That's a good recommendation. All right. Juan Martinez says, Hi, Tim.

Following your lead in making culture, please check my first children's book, Tickled by the Travel Bug, on Kickstarter. How cute. There you go. All right. Let's see. Where are we at?

Golan. Golan. Golan. Gaz. Thop says, absolutely loved your podcast with Jocko. Can't wait to read Outlaw Platoon. Oh, thanks. So that that you want.

Can I tell a quick story about that? So my podcast with Jocko, like I've been listening. Jocko is an awesome guy. I love him. So like he invited me on a show i was super excited about it i get out there in san diego and like i'm like oh god i'm a little nervous i don't know what this is going to be like and he walks into his podcast i like walk into victory mma and it's an awesome place all these little octagons and everybody there's like 200 people there rolling

around on the mat and i'm like where's jaco and jaco walks in and it's like he's in like it's like an episode of cheers like everyone's like hey jocko he's like pointing at people and we and we go into this little room right closet right yeah yes and and we did a five and a half hour marathon podcast where he had outlaw platoon he had outlaw platoon just like went through the chapters and all we did was have a five and a half hour conversation about combat leadership and servant leadership the whole time. And I thought I was going to be there for my fiction books. But it was all about Outlaw Platoon, five and a half hours long. And it was just awesome.

It was awesome. That's so cool. He's the best. He is. He's awesome. JT Goldfish says, loved your book so cool. He's the best. He is. He's awesome. JT Goldfish says, loved your book, Sean. Gave me flashbacks from Afghanistan. But I will never vote for you unless you try to oust Romney in Utah.

So wait, you want me to be a carpetbagger and move to Utah? Yeah, I guess so. Mr. Behavior says, love how Sean said to Tim, quote, if you've ever seen Star Trek. As if Tim doesn't reference Star Trek like every episode, LMAO. I was saying just for the audience. Yeah. And can we stop pretending that Star Trek is just a monologue? There's many.

There's many stars. There's Star Trek with Captain Kirk. There's Star Trek Next Generation. There's Deep Space Nine. So, right. And that's it. And then movies. After Deep Space Nine, it's over over there's no other star tracks everything i guess enterprise is okay but it's

retract stars retract dorsey woods says republicans have been little more than speed bumps while progressives are four-wheel drive every day more ground is lost with fortified elections i'm not convinced the battle can be won anymore fort Fortifying the home front in case. There's this drastic need to change the world. That is true. So these people that want to change all these things are getting a pass from the media and the people that are

like, yo, the system's not as busted as it seems. They're getting kind of steamrolled, it seems. But just change for the sake of change is not the right way to go. You've got to know what you're doing and have a plan that's sustainable. You sure we shouldn't just burn it down because we're upset with some things? I think we shouldn't. Yeah. I think her concerns about the election are something that I encounter every day.

Fifty percent of the people in the state of Pennsylvania have very little faith in it. But what I can tell you is we know what they did in 2020, right? And we have a plan. We learned a lot of lessons, right? And we're taking those lessons learned we're moving forward integrating them into 2022 and we're gonna we're gonna we've got a plan we've got a plan brandon tom says tim your 1 p.m piece was spot on it doesn't matter how much or how how little you know about the middle east conflict it's conflict it's wrong

to go around beating people based on immutable characteristics. That's what matters. So there's a video where there's a couple of videos of van or cars full of people with Palestinian flags yell out like who's Jewish. And when some guys say they are, they get out there beating the crap out of them. I saw them. There's a video of people in vehicles waving Palestinian flags, chasing an Orthodox Jew through the streets. Horrible. Yeah, it's insane. It's insane. And I don't see the left coming out and being like we must stop this no they're just like hamas is

defending itself i'm like they're firing the rockets they're the ones fine and and they use schools they use hospitals and they use buildings that are co-located with media because they know that american media will freak out if god forbid forbid, one of those targets gets hit. And either way, they win. They get a propaganda victory, right? If one of those buildings becomes collateral damage. Or they're shielded because they know that they won't be attacked there. Yep.

Right? And so, I mean, I would just say to the viewers, I mean, imagine your city getting hit with thousands of rockets. I mean, I lived like that for 485 days. My base in Afghanistan got hit with over 4,000 indirect fire attacks. There's nothing worse. There's no more hellish way to live than wondering if a rocket is going to land on your head at any moment, whether you're asleep or you're going to the bathroom or you're eating. It's a horrible way to live, and we're trained to deal with it there are young kids living living in israel

right now some like like of of all walks of life that have to live like can you imagine how that lifestyle affects those little ones it's unacceptable kev says sean parnell i need that shirt who makes it and where can i get one don't say don't remember it as a label it's it's uh go go to a go to a website it's called vero cloth it's ro yeah now i'm promoting another web uh yeah yeah it's uh like i love these shirts i think they're in i'm trying i'm bringing them i'm making them in yeah yes first last says cop was trained by Rock Lee to open the eight gates. And if you know what that means, then you are a friend of this show. And now you're all confused.

Yeah, I'm very confused. And here I thought I was a friend of the show. No, no. Rock Lee is from Naruto. Oh, is it? This is that. Wait, this is this anime show. Naruto.

Yeah. My kid watches this and my oldest son watches this and show, Naruto? Yeah. My kid watches this, and my oldest son watches this, and he loves it. Yeah. Is it like a thing? Is it good? While it was running. Is it appropriate for kids that are 12? Yeah, yeah.

Okay, okay. Because I'm like, Ethan, you should be watching this podcast anyway. It's about magic ninjas. Okay, well now that sounds interesting. It's actually cool writing in terms of politics. I like it. Yeah. Magic ninjas, Andrew, my campaign manager.

Mark that down. Thumbs up. We're going to watch it later. So the character Rock Lee can open his chakra gates to flood his body with more energy, but at the cost of causing damage to his body. Yeah, that makes sense. So the joke is that the cop opened the gates so he could lift the car off the woman. Yeah, I see.

I get it. Joseph Soilo says charles hoskinson just mentioned you in his ama would be an awesome guest to discuss crypto on your show absolutely um uh you reached out to him i think i did if someone would let him know to hit me up i will happily coordinate that i would love to do so he's he's the he's the guy who founded cardano yes and it's so i have four cryptos. I have Bitcoin, Ethereum, Doge, and Cardano. And I got to be honest, like, I can give you a reason why. But when you go on Gemini, it's like those are the four that are like there.

They're just like, buy, buy, buy. It's probably not a complicated thing. I'm just like, I don't know. I'm going to buy whatever's there. No, but he was the co-founder of Ethereum, I guess. And Bitcoin and Ethereum are the only ones I'm, like, really confident in. But then I look at Cardano. I'm like, this guy clearly knows what he's doing

and he's got a different approach to it. So I think once that launches up, it'll be pretty big. We'll see. Whatever. I don't think Dogecoin is going anywhere, to be honest. But I'm going to keep my Dogecoin because it's funny. That's right. Yeah.

All right. Let's see. Yeti Dude says, Where are the politicians that respect the Constitution and the law of the land and restore the freedom of the people of these United States? You got one sitting right here. And again, again, like you can't people like me can't win if the people don't help. Right. And I mean, like you've got like you got to contribute to people's campaigns. Otherwise, otherwise you get bludgeoned to death by big party politics. Yes. I want to just give a shout out to IOHK.io, which is Cardano's website or one of them.

IOHK.io. It's just so cool. You go there and you swipe around on it. Oh, cool. This is so like if this has anything to do with how advanced. No one can see what you're doing. I know. I know. But go there when the podcast is over and check it out and mouse around and swipe around on it. What does it do?

It's just this really amazing graphical layout. And if this speaks to. It's like dropping paint in water. Yeah, the creativity of the designers and the developers. I wonder if this, you know, it just makes me have faith in the developers as a whole. All right. It's pretty. I've loved this for years.

That's why Obama got elected. He was a celebrity. Yeah, yeah. It's flashy, colorful. All right. It's pretty. I've loved this for years. That's why Obama got elected. He was a celebrity. Yeah, it's flashy, colorful. All right, let's see. We just hit it. YouTube just jumped on us. Remote CFO says, in my honest opinion, YouTubers that claim they can make more of a difference on YouTube rather than office is just a cop-out. Tim, I love you, my Korean brother, but your country needs you.

Sean, PA is behind you. Awesome. Awesome. I don't know what i would do in office sit around and complain someone's attacking me on twitter for not i i didn't i i i didn't know what the content of the nfa like i know what the national i know what this stuff is but i didn't know what the hell you're at i mean right yeah people are dumb people give me no grace twitter's dumb let's put it that way daniel buntrick says, anytime someone suggests a new law, they're saying there should be a new sword.

And good, though the sword may be, they don't get to decide who will wield it. We should choose our laws wisely and assume they will be wielded by the worst among us. I mean, if you were to take all the laws in the U.S. and put them in a book, the book would probably be like, what, 20 stories tall? Yes.

That's insane. People don't even know what's illegal and they're like ignorance is no excuse uh actually it is it totally is that's the most it's the stupidest thing i've ever heard ignorance is no excuse for breaking a lot bro i'm a law-abiding citizen if i knew i couldn't bake an apple pie on sundays and put on my window so i wouldn't have done it but that's insane you know in some places that's true like there's like some places where you can't bathe on tuesdays yeah and people don't know that those laws are still in the books. And they expect that the judges will just do the right thing. Well, what if they don't?

What if they don't do the right thing? Get those laws out of there. What are you doing? You can't turn right on red in New York. I didn't know. I lived there. Lived in L.A. Lived in Chicago where you can turn right on red.

Can't turn right on red in New York. And then you get pulled over and they'll give you a ticket and say, ignorance is no excuse. It's like, okay. There's a lot of things where you don't realize it's illegal. For instance, where people don't realize about drones, you can buy at Best Buy. You can go to Best Buy and be like, I'll take a drone, please. Okay. And then you can

fly it and then not even realize it's breaking the law. It's like, I went to a toy store and I bought this. Well, they restrict that kind of stuff, but there are certain things you might not even realize. Can you believe this? You can't climb into the tiger pen at a zoo? Like, who's supposed to know? I'm kidding.

Don't do that one. Don't do that. No, but there are some things where it's like, so for instance, in my, for me, I was driving back from Colorado Springs, Fort Carson, and they had suspended my license without telling me because there was no way they could have and no way for me to know. And I got in trouble for it. And I'm like, what, what is this? I had no idea it even happened. And I'm coming home before I even got my mail. And they're like, so what? Couldn't they have been like, okay, dude, don't drive again. Here's your official warning. Forget about it. But you can't drive because your

license is suspended. I'd have been like, you got it, boss. Instead, they're like, we're arresting you and we'll see you in court. i went to court they were like so you confess and i was like bro just give me the notification the first thing that should happen is the driver you should get pulled over by a cop you should be like i'm giving you formal notice your licenses have been suspended you have to exit your vehicle right now if you're caught driving again it's on your record you will be arrested i'd be like like, you got it. But ignorance is no excuse. If a cop goes down the street and tickets a bunch of cars, and then some random person comes up and then takes all the tickets off all the cars,

that's illegal, but you won't know that you got a ticket. That's so busted. You'll get a ticket in the mail saying you failed to appear or contest until you have a final term. That's so crazy. Yeah, the system's got a bunch of problems, man. I don't know what you do with it. gotta we gotta just keep working i suppose all right we'll do a couple more here we got sam devlin he says i was accepted to stockton u and nj

they're requiring vacs by 8-1 students only hmm or i can't start my fall classes even if all are online i refuse to bend the knee my mom is going to be pissed need to find a new program well um why go to college that's a good question yeah like what what are you going to college for what why go to college i would say if going to college is something you have your heart set on if it's something like stem just so you know uh vaccinations have always been required by all different kinds of schools for polio mmr and all that stuff yeah so it's not really new and i'm not surprised by this as such i don't know it's my two cents it's a great point yeah i think college is dumb and a waste of time other conservatory kind of thing that was cool i certainly don't think it's i you know i i was raised you know in my our generation it's like

oh you got to go to school we got to go to school. And I did. I went to, I got my undergrad, I got my master's. Don't do anything with it. But I think in today's day and age, you know, it's hard, you know, it's hard to find a plumber. It's hard to find carboners. It's hard to find people that have actual trades. And those people, when they get jobs, like they're making 80, 90, 100 bucks an hour, you know.

And there are so many jobs available. And so I think learning a trade moving forward, manufacturing trade is something that's just really important right now. Was your experience as an undergrad and you said you got your master's too? Yeah. Did that help you get into officer school? No, I went through the r after 9-11 i was i was an elementary education major at clarion university um wanting to teach second grade 9-11 happened geez a few days later i was down at the recruiter joined the infantry or it said i wanted to join the infantry go to airborne school ranger school transferred to duquesne it's not covid it's not covid believe it um transferred to duquesne and joined the rotc program drink that water yeah all right everybody's got some token we get tons

of super chats where they're like say this token say this token say this token so many no no no no no financial advice here what's's that? What's a token? So tokens are, they exist on other chains. So like ERC-20 tokens are really easy to make. You can just like snap your fingers and make a bunch of tokens. It's kind of like we should never read Super Chat token shout outs. Right, I avoid them for the most part. Because everyone's always just trying to call. Does everyone have a token now?

It's so easy to make tokens. You snap your fingers and you can do it. Yeah. Oh. Yep. Like literally. So. Why?

Why would someone, why do people want to do a token shoutout? I could make BeanieCoin right now. Pump and dump. BeanieCoin. It would operate on the Ethereum network. Yes. I could just snap my fingers and make it. It would probably take, what, like 10 minutes, you think?

I don't know. I've never done it before. 10 minutes? And then I could make like, okay, BeanieCoin has a million coins i keep a hundred thousand for myself and then i just disperse the coins you know by by some metric or whatever and then or people can start proof of staking to generate coins or something and then once the coin is worth a penny i have you know a thousand dollars or whatever so people will make a token with $450 million total capacity or something, and then

it's money. Or they'll buy like a million tokens and then super chat for $50 like, hey, this token, hope that it goes up 50% and they make half a million dollars. Which is basically just like scamming people. Holy smokes. Yeah, it's very pump and dump. It's very disturbing. Wow. Powerful tech, but disturbing.

Well, there's no regulation, which is partly the good thing. I mean, buyer beware, right? Caveat emptor. Is that what it is? I don't know. That sounds Roman. Caveat emptor? It's Latin, for sure. Yeah, let the buyer beware. Alright. GGPlayer says, tried to go to his website,
