Johnny Depp has won. This is big news and it's a lot of celebrity gossip that I haven't really followed all that much, but there is some big cultural political victories here. There are some. This is a huge blow to the believe all women, me too stuff. Amber Heard wrote this op-ed that was basically defaming Johnny Depp without actually naming him because it was part of the whole narrative about how, you know, women are abused and they have to keep it secret. Turns out, well, you know, she's got to pay damages to Johnny Depp. Now, he did lose some of the case, but for the most part, major victory for Johnny Depp and a major blow to Believe All Women and the corporate press, because I believe it was the Washington Post who just uncritically ran this story like,

yeah, sure, you can say whatever you want. And my question is, why isn't Johnny Depp suing the Washingtonhington post so i don't know maybe i mean everyone can't sue them uh what do you mean washington post is that a dare no yeah sure maybe they can so we'll talk about all that we also have man today is kind of crazy we have this uh the democrat who's running against ran paul made what may be one of the most insane political ads I've ever seen. It's him with a noose around his neck, and he's holding on to it, talking about how it was a tool to terrorize his people. And I'm just like, yo, if you think the woke stuff was crazy 10 years ago, just wait until these woke millennials are running the show completely as opposed to just suggesting or demanding of these things imagine when they're actually at the helm i think he won the jesse small ed vote man oh for sure for sure

and then we have this one's gonna be tough because youtube's gonna get real mad about this one hunter biden okay apparently texted his father a link to adult content but it's hold on hold on that's the best case scenario yeah yikes so the daily mail says but wait they shared phone numbers so maybe he was just sending it to himself and then i'm like yo that means it could be joe sending it to his son there's a whole bunch of new information coming out from this laptop the creepy things that hunter biden does but i gotta be honest you know if hunter biden wants to do weirdo stuff, that's fine.

He can do his thing. And I don't think it's anybody's business. But when you learn that through these links that were being sent, they shared phone numbers, it raises questions about whether or not Joe was actually doing business pretending to be Hunter. That's the real story.

So we're going to talk about all of that. Plus, we got some Joe Rogan stuff in the news. We've got some other cultural stuff in the news. Woke movies failing. Joining us to talk about all of that. Plus, we've got some Joe Rogan stuff in the news. We've got some other cultural stuff in the news. Woke movies failing. Joining us to talk about all of this is Joe Bob. Yo, what up? My name is Joe Bob. I feel like I should first and foremost explain that ridiculous name.

One grandpa was Joe. The other one was Bob. My parents couldn't decide who to name me after. And so they compromised and YOLOed a hillbilly Alabama backwoods name on a brown guy. So there's that. When Lydia was like, we have Joe Bob on, I'm thinking like some guy in overalls with a straw hat. I definitely have more teeth of any Joe Bob you've ever had here if you've had any other Joe Bobs. They bring you in for diversity training.

Like, I want everyone to picture someone named Joe Bob. Now open your eyes. Bigot. So what do you do? I've been in politics for a while. I somehow convinced the good folks at Daily Caller to allow me to host the Daily Caller live show each and every morning on all

the Daily Caller platforms. And I say somehow convinced because I'm wholly and entirely unqualified to do that sort of thing. I mostly make jokes about the news, try and reach an audience that's kind of like not so into the weeds. Maybe we can talk about why a little bit later. But, yeah, that's kind of my thing. I also do some stuff with Turning Point USA.

I'm a contributor over there. Cool. This is all very new to me, so I'm figuring it out. We also have Brett Dasivik joining us, host of Pop Culture Crisis, because I've got to be honest, I don't know a whole lot about the Johnny Depp stuff, and we needed somebody who could tell us more about it. I think there's cultural and political ramifications here, but Brett's joining us. Speaking of wholly unqualified and talking about stuff to people who might not know the stuff you're talking about, that's kind of what we do over there is you kind of link in stuff that's sociopolitical into cultural commentary, talk about it in the context of movies,

and we kind of do that, and I totally identify with the feeling unqualified while speaking to people on a show, so that's perfect. You read more about it than I did. Of course. Shim Sham. Shim Sham over here on Shimcast IRL. I'm Seamus Coghlan. I make cartoons on a YouTube channel called Freedom Tunes. We uploaded a pretty funny cartoon

about the Canadian gun ban yesterday. I think you guys will enjoy. We are uploading a cartoon tomorrow. I think you'll also enjoy. And guess what? We launched our website, freedomtunes.com. You go over there, become a member for five bucks a month. You'll get four extra cartoons per month. That'll be exclusive. Only you folks will get to see them.

And we've got a bunch of videos up there now waiting for you. At least five cartoons and a bunch of behind-the-scenes stuff.

If you want more Tim as Fauci, we'll get more Tim as Fauci in there. Fauci's gone, man. And you will or will not...

No, he's coming back. You will or will not love them forever. I will love them forever. Okay, got it. Like erotic love? No, no, no. Familial love. It is... I want what is best for them. Speaking of wholly unqualified. What's up, dudes? Everyone here is like, I shouldn't be here.

I didn't say that. I was talking about Seamus. Seamus is unqualified to love. Just kidding. Seamus is the best. Ian Crossland in the house, everybody. Let's get to it, because I've never known any two people to share a phone number before, so I don't know what's going on.

That's really interesting. Sorry, go ahead. Go ahead. You missed a point, too. It so I don't know what's going on. That's really interesting. Sorry, go ahead. You missed a point, too. It also could have been Joe sending it to Joe. That's right. Is that what you were going to say? Yeah, let's say something like that. I'm looking forward to this evening.

Joe's like, I really like this link, man. Make sure I don't forget about it. That actually feels more plausible given his mental state. I don't know. My honest opinion is I think Joe Biden abused his son. I would not be surprised. I'm not kidding. Yeah, for sure. I don't think so dude. My honest opinion is I think Joe Biden abused his son. I would not be surprised. I'm not kidding. Yeah, for sure.

I don't think so. Not at all. Even just abandonment is a type of abuse. I don't want to bury the lead, so I'll just say we know he sniffs kids. Look how screwed up Hunter Biden is. The drug abuse. I think that dude's got long-term trauma from something that happened in his life, and now they're texting each other. Porn?

Yeah, I think that dude. But we'll get into that stuff. Anyway, yeah, I'm also here. I am qualified to push buttons and nothing else. I'm glad to be here, even though the top content of this is kind of gross. I'm looking forward to hearing what Brett has to say. It's going to be good.

Heard ordered to pay $15 million in damages, but I don't think that's where it ends.

There's some caps, and I think Johnny does owe some to Amber, so let's read. The seven-person jury reached a decision around 3.20 p.m. on June 1st after deliberating for a cumulative 12 hours over three days. Heard has been ordered to pay $15 million in damages. However, $5 million of that amount applies to punitive damages,

which the state caps at $350,000. In Heard's countersuit, Depp was found guilty of one of three counts of defamation. Depp was not present in the courtroom at the time the verdict was read, although he did teleconference in from the United Kingdom. Depp filed the defamation suit against her for $50 million after alleging the op-ed she authored for the Washington Post damaged his reputation.

His legal team said the actress presented herself as a public figure representing domestic abuse, which had financial consequences for her ex-husband, even though it never specifically included his name. And he's won in a huge blow for the Me Too movement with all of these just, you know, believe all women narratives, just no matter what. Well, now we know that Amber Heard wasn't being honest. And also the corporate press, the Washington Post, that uncritically ran this story, which is what they often do. And then they want to hide behind, oh, but it was someone else's opinion. Well, here we are. I don't know if I missed anything in that story, Brett.

If there's more details you think we should mention. The most important one that I think a lot of people leave out is that she didn't write the op-ed. Thank you. It was drafted by an ACLU lawyer. Whoa. What? If I can remember off the top of my head.

And that was basically done to coincide around the time of her leaving Johnny Depp. And we talked about it today. There's a lot of really weaselly language in that op-ed. I was surprised how short it is. I hadn't read it in a long time. I skimmed it when it first came out.

And when we went back through it the other day, it's only about a paragraph. It's a couple paragraphs long. And most of the stuff about Johnny Depp could be inferred in like that first paragraph and the rest of it is just very, very generalized language. So that's why I was surprised that he actually did end up winning. So this sounds like a hoax.

I think it was done. She didn't write it? She did not write it. It was drafted basically by somebody as an ACLU lawyer because she was a spokesperson for the ACLU on domestic violence. Wow. And that's a problem because it was done at the time of them getting separated and divorced. This is more than just Me Too and corporate press.

This is a hammer to the face of the narrative machine. I mean, I don't know if it's just because I'm, like, pretty blackpilled about all of it, but I was very surprised that he, like, just because the language was so vague and done in such a way, like, without naming him at all, when even, she even says, like, as a, when she talks about domestic violence, she doesn't infer him specifically, like Mary on the show even posited,

she's like, she could be just saying, what if she's just a spokesperson for domestic violence, not necessarily somebody who has actually had, you know, gone through domestic violence and said, yeah, but who actually does that? Who becomes a spokesperson for something violence, not necessarily somebody who has actually had gone through domestic violence and said, yeah, but who actually does that? Who becomes a spokesperson for something they didn't actually experience? Right. I'm curious.

Did anybody here know about this before this defamation case came to? Negative. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You did? Oh, I remember when they published this story and it was like, who is she talking about? And they're like, she was obviously talking about Johnny Depp. Then when he got booted from Pirates,

and what, he got booted from Dumbledore? Yep. Or not from Dumbledore, from Harry Potter? Well, yeah, from Fantastic Beasts and we were finding,

that was the one that I think is actually worse. But they did him a favor to be honest because it will be so. Yes, yes. Which is odd. Maybe it would have been good

if Johnny Depp was in it, you know? I'm kidding, there's no possible way it would have been good. That was one of those things where I was like, that one felt more realistic to me because that was dealing with J.K. Rowling, who's a main producer and writer on those movies,

which is another reason because she can write books. She's not very good at writing scripts. It's a completely separate skill set. But it's one of those things where she knows what that's like to deal with people defaming her and saying stuff about her beliefs. So to have that come out and have her not support him, that felt more tangible to me than the stuff about Pirates of the Caribbean. This was three and a half years ago she wrote this op-ed.

I spoke up against sexual violence and faced our culture's wrath. That has to change. And it was not even drafted by her. Nope. This is what the reality of this country is. These big machines, the corporate press, these big nonprofits, these big NGOs, it's fabricated. It's a narrative machine. They're not telling you about reality. It's completely inauthentic.

She also never paid off the – she pledged the money from her divorce settlement to both the ACLU and then what was the other one? It was a hospital, like a Los Angeles Children's Hospital, and she said that she donated it, but she did not donate it. She pledged the money and then blamed Johnny Depp for saying, well, you're suing me. How can I give them the money now? Because I may have to pay you back. So did anybody read her press release after?

No. It's on her Instagram, right? Yeah. Hannah Clare sent it to me earlier. It's on her Instagram, right? Yeah. Hannah Clare sent it to me earlier. It's ridiculous. The gaslighting is real. It's really bad. This is too long.

I don't care about what she has to say. I mean, I don't either. That's fair. Here's what's better. In a story from the Babylon Bee, uncanceled, Amber Heard hired by the Daily Wire. Good on you you Ben Shapiro good on you

her and Gina Carano can make a buddy cop comedy oh my god this is amazing from the Babylon Bee was brilliant Amber Heard hired by the Daily Wire

a brilliant move from co-CEO Jeremy Boring on that one so Amber Heard wrote the disappointment I feel today

is beyond words I'm heartbroken that the mountain of evidence still wasn't enough to stand up to the disproportionate power, influence, and sway of my ex-husband. I'm even more disappointed with what this verdict means for other women. It is a setback. I'm seeing a bunch of progressives on Twitter, and their audience is angry at this verdict.

They wanted Johnny Depp to lose. You know what I think is actually more damaging to women who are victims of abuse? Making dishonest claims about being abused. That's all. The one thing you'll always hear in stories like this is that when you lie and make false accusations, you're making it harder for actual victims. And I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, we know

that. Look, people who lie are bad people. That's like the cliched response. Hey, Amber Heard, you're garbage. You're garbage. Yeah, my point is that, I mean, look, to pretend to care about a group of people that you are allegedly pretending to be one of as an imposter so you can sort of use whatever social capital you think being a victim will get you as a porn. You don't actually care. They were like a couple alcoholic cokeheads that beat the hell out of each other. I mean, they both deserve nothing, Adam,

in my opinion. I guess they both won the lawsuit for the other one, got a countersuit, so she sued Johnny for a couple million bucks. Johnny got 10 out of her or 13 out of her. Well, he won the most of it because he's worth more. Men get paid more than women. Maybe I don't know enough about this, but it

seemed like he was trying to prove a negative. What it seemed like this trial proved was that both of them are blackout crazy people. Am I wrong in that? No, that's what I got from it. That's what I got from it. Yeah, but he didn't defame her. I mean, I guess he did in that one count, but she writes an article. Yeah.

You know what I mean? You can be a crackpot blackout drunk. Just don't go publish it in the Washington Post. The number one conclusion we seem to come through is that they were just really bad for each other. Like their behavior was in general just very self-destructive to one another. The problem with that is, is though, we read, we covered a story yesterday where the media basically says, if you don't believe her, you're bullying her. And that, and the writer posits that mutual abuse is fake.

That there's no such thing as mutual abuse in a relationship because of power dynamics. It always comes back to power dynamics when they're discussing this stuff. Communism, that's it. Yes, and they actually make a point to talk about, like, we can talk about, you know, like, how false accusations are extremely rare. And, you know, they link your articles, like, what you're supposed to go to. And it's two articles about Kavanaugh. Yes, so good. I was like, this is beyond parody like the it's like so they don't actually like you expect it to be to

like some type of you gov statistics or something that says yes it is in fact rare for people to falsely falsely accuse someone they always just fall back on communism on well he had more power that's why i lost that's what she says in her thing. The disproportionate power, influence, and sway of my ex-husband. It's like, dude, you did wrong. You got called out. Stop crying. I don't know, man. Johnny Depp does control the courts.

That's true. People don't realize that when they keep putting George Soros at the top, it's actually Johnny Depp. It's actually Johnny Depp the whole time. Maybe Johnny Depp can play George Soros in the George Soros biopic when that eventually doesn't get made. A lot of people like to talk about the whole time. Maybe Johnny Depp can play George Soros in the George Soros biopic when that eventually doesn't get made. A lot of people like to talk about the shadow government. What they don't understand is that there is a forward-facing government that masquerades as a court jester.

And so you know the jester is right there the whole time. You think there's a shadow government. It was the jester pulling the strings right in front of you. See, my problem with all this is I don't think it's actually going to change anything for society. A lot of people see this as a commentary on the relationships between men and women, how that's going to change. I said, no, this is just further proof that we as a society are still obsessed with celebrities. And he has the money to fight a $50 million defamation lawsuit. If this happens to just some regular dude on the street who gets defamed, he doesn't have money to fight this in court it just it ends up the same way i don't actually think it changes

anything long term maybe uh good well we live in a caste system yep uh it's you know i feel like when this country's founded it's very meritocratic because a bunch of people land on barren shores and it's like good luck and then some of them are like well we can steal it from the native americans others were like we can work with the native americans and others were like, good luck. And then some of them are like, well, we can steal it from the Native Americans. Others were like, we can work with the Native Americans. And others were like, guess I'll die. I guess many were like, I'll survive. But that meritocracy was all that mattered. So if you had problems, you just sought to solve it.

You tried to figure it out. Now that we have big cities and people aren't moving around anymore, we've become much less meritocratic. Now you have people who are born rich, stay rich, who can wield influence. Laws get crafted around this. And you end up with regular people like CNN goes after that guy who makes a meme. Some doc worker or some warehouse worker who posted an email at Nancy Pelosi.

They go after him. He can't do anything about it. There was the one. It was like the WWE meme of the guy like the cnn logo or something like that and they were like we'll reveal his name unless he promises never to post a meme again yeah exactly well they'll sit there and do something like you know destroy a teenager's life over a completely fabricated story and repeat that he's some kind of white supremacist who's harassing a native american who was a veteran um when none of it's true

and also tell the entire country where the kid went to school while doing it, while inciting hatred against them. Then someone posts a meme poking fun at them and they go, I'm in danger. So I don't mean to say in the most extreme case system, what I mean to say is we're growing to this point where you have people who are just third generation wealthy. They can afford big lawyers. It's remarkable how

I've met people who are just rich because their families were rich and they buy things from each other with insane amounts of money. I would be like you bought lotion for 50 bucks? Why? They're like, it's really good. I'm like, you get the Jurgens from Walmart. I don don't understand like why you would do that and they're like i don't know but then their friend makes the lotion and sells it for 50 bucks and i'm like when you're in that

that community you just have all of this money i guess from whatever and tim i told you that lotion helps rejuvenate me you do and i think this subtweet thank you very much but you don't gotta buy the fake weird crazy expensive my point ultimately is we're moving in that direction i do think we're still it's not it's not like completely a caste system you can move up the the class system but it really has come to that point where we have seen so many people defamed i mean james o'keefe may be one of the most defamed people and he has to fight tooth and nail and ask people to help support him to win these lawsuits, which he does.

Johnny Depp is just ultra rich and he's like jamming out in the UK like, whatever, and then he wins. When you've got that kind of F you money, you just write a blank check to a lawyer and say, win for me, and then you leave. Yeah, I just want to be wealthy enough that a false accusation against me won't be able to stick. Even if he had lost,

I mean, it's one of those things where because he'd won the court of public opinion so handily like say he loses but he has his reputation back he can make that up in money in roles in no time and pay off that 100 million dollar lawsuit if that had been the way this had gone but i think he would have ended up winning either way because his reputation is now at the very least he's employable again by big studios he'll be able to make more money again and that's just proof that uh it keeps going where does it go from here though like does he get a career back because again for me personally i didn't know anything about this until the lawsuit i think that's a lot of america just was like holy cow johnny debb i

don't know man really he got booted from harry potter and from pirates of the caribbean there's people in the know though i'm I'm talking about the wider scope. Regular people know about their entertainment. If you go to somebody and you say, do you know who Hamilton was? They might be like, maybe. Johnny Depp is like, of course.

I still have never heard of this. All I know now is, holy cow, I know Johnny Depp has some interesting problems. And I didn't know that before. And so now I'm wondering, how does he go forward? Think about this, too. You have a normal married couple that divorces, and the wife goes around defaming the husband. What does he do about it?

Well, she told 15 people. They're in her circle now. He loses some of his friends, and then he of his friends and then he moves on and then she moves on in this weird world of celebrity and wealth she publishes an op-ed in the washington post drafted by a lawyer for the aclu they're both extremely wealthy celebrities so this crazy cultural event happens yeah it's just weird you know yeah it was like uh where was the gilane maxwell trial why was that not televised? I know. This is the funniest thing about it.

We have two celebrities wagging their fingers at each other, and everyone's glued to it. Law and Crime Network, I think, had 150,000 people watching the verdict get read. I think it was 150K. I think it was more than that. Way more than that. It was a couple million. Million? No, live?

No, not live. Collective leader. No, collective view view the feed that i was watching had 500 000 people watching okay 500 000 yeah yeah yeah it was and then think about the maxwell trial they're like no one's allowed in you can't know about this like she's convicted of trafficking on minors to a bunch who know who knows we don't know anybody no no customers are gone and uh and that's just like, I mean, Epstein himself. Like, we got questions about what happened in that jail cell.

It's just gone. But Johnny Depp, top of the hour. Headline, headline, headline. Bread and circus. You know that Roman tactic to keep the population subdued? Make sure they have enough bread and they have enough entertainment. People are saying millions. That's crazy.

So here's what I want to point out. At a time when we've got this story here from the Daily Mail, and I can't show you the headline because you just might take it down. Hunter Biden's laptop was leaked, you know, and so there's new

information coming out about the things he was doing. I just find it funny that on this day, something really, really bad comes out. It's also the day we get the verdict in the trial for Johnny Depp and Amber Heard I'm not saying this is a conspiracy I'm just saying what a distraction bread and circuses

Hunter Biden was searching for milf crack cocaine adult content I just thought that was funny because it's like well you know he's into it right he's looking for someone who's just like him he was looking for he who's just like him. He was looking for lonely.

No, no, get this, get this. He was looking up adult content on Pornhub. Lonely widow. That is dark. His brother's widow. And so he's like, I'm into this. Yeah. And he's looking it up.

That's creepy. But here's the craziest thing. Here's what they say. There's an image that says dad on 2018, 10, 22. and it's a link to Pornhub premium sent to dad who is Hunter Biden's dad Joe Biden here's what they say though iMessage records appear to show Hunter sent a link to a Pornhub page to a phone number he had saved in his contact book as dad on October 22nd 2018 however other texts show he and Joe Biden used each other's phone numbers at various times. So it is unclear whether the president was using that number at the time.

How does that even work? Daily Mail. You realize that also means it could have been Joe sending it to his son. It could have been Joe sending it to himself. Joe Biden would be like, oh, this is a really good video. It got me off. I'm going to save this one for later by sending it to myself. At least he paid for premium.

Yeah, that's true. Yeah, you don't want to get the cheap stuff, huh? Here's the craziest thing about this is, yo, look, I mentioned this in the intro to the show. I don't care if Hunter Biden wants to do weird stuff. You know, everyone, there's the meme where it's like the person's dying and they're like, delete

my search history because everybody's searched for weird things they'd be embarrassed by. If Hunter Biden wants to watch Lonely Widows, okay, dude, that's your thing. But if Joe Biden is using the same phone number as Hunter, then how do we know? How do we differentiate between the business dealings of Hunter Biden and Joe Biden? This sounds to me like just evidence on top of evidence that joe biden was using his son as a proxy to do deals on on the side while he was you know influential in government vice president or otherwise did you see this email there's a story that came out today about an email sent between james biden and joe or and hunter biden did you see this I think this is part of this drop. Who is it? In an email, James told Hunter, him, Hunter,

you, quote, you need to call me now, dot, dot, dot, just got off the phone with your father. We have the two biggest days of our business life in front of us, five or six or seven exclamation points. We must be smart and everything, or everything goes up in smoke. Please call me. You must, all caps, remain calm. Timing could not be worse.

Common measured paybacks can come later. So we have this right here. What is this? What is this in reference to? What are they doing? I don't know. I let me let me read this as quote. James and Hunter Biden were in the midst of a lucrative deal with Chinese executives at the time.

While Joe Biden was out of public service for the first time in nearly half a century, having left the vice presidency a few months earlier hunter biden turned to his uncle at least as much as to his famous father for emotional support hunter also relied upon james biden who goes by jim and is known as jimmy within the family on matters of dollars and cents within days of that exchange hunter received another email from his uncle urging him to take advantage of a financial opportunity related to Joe Biden. Right. So, I mean, we can all laugh at the ridiculous and deeply personal photos of Hunter Biden. Gross. You know, his crack addiction and his illicit activities and all that stuff.

But when they said that they shared phone numbers, right away I was like, yo, are we all going to laugh that he sent this link? Or are we going to recognize this appears to be evidence that they were using communication platforms interchangeably? They were sharing bank accounts. Joe was doing the illicit dealings. It's not Hunter Biden. It's Joe Biden who's doing it. Well, I can't think of any other reason for them to share a phone number. Surely they have the funds to both afford separate phones.

Is that a plausible deniability thing? Maybe. I don't know. Is that it? That Joe was doing some work and was like, oh yeah, Hunter also uses his text phone. It probably wouldn't be for you or I or any person of normal means who was committing that kind of a crime, right? But for the Biden family. Allegedly committing that kind of a crime, right?

People don't share cell phone numbers with other people. That's insane. You might have a family plan with multiple numbers on the plan. The only reason you would use the same number as someone else is to obfuscate it. I can't. Why else would you? They're filthy rich. They don't need it.

For money, they don't need it. We can take it on its surface and just be like Hunter Biden sent his dad porn. Yeah, that's what I think happened. Maybe. You know what I think? Let's take a look at what's going on with this guy, Hunter Biden. His dad sniffs little kids consistently. His dad talks about how when he was younger,

the little kids were rubbing my legs. What did he say, Seamus? Oh, the hairy legs. I got hairy legs. The kids would rub them. Yeah. So here's a guy we've seen grab women and sniff them, grab children, grope children.

Here's a guy that's been accused by Tara Reid of unspeakable acts. And then you take a look at Hunter Biden, sexually depraved, crack addict. I'm wondering, like, how does someone who's brought up in this, like, privileged family turn to this kind of life? Maybe something, a deep trauma from his past made him turn to drugs to escape maybe he's gone through so why would he be sending his dad porn maybe his dad was abusing him and that's why they share phone numbers and send or he sends adult content to his dad because they had an inappropriate relationship when he was younger i'm not saying it's a fact i'm not saying i have evidence i'm saying i look at this stuff and what I see is I'd be willing to make the bet. I'm like, this guy's got deep sexual problems.

You know, I'm looking up Hunter's mom and brother died in a car accident and he was actually in the car with them. I can say trauma to this 1972. So Hunter, that might have just destroyed his mind. But when you add into the fact that their dad, his dad, sniffs little girls and gropes children, even little boys, and kisses them, I'm like, dude. The Tara Reid accusations are unconscionable. It's unconscionable that it wouldn't be investigated, that right before he's running for office, a girl comes out and is like, he pushed me up against the wall and fill in the blanks. Look it up. It's disgusting.

I just want to stress. I mean, we all have seen the videos of Joe Biden groping and kissing little kids. What's the one with the redhead girl who's like, she's like shirking away from him and looking at him all awkward? There's like whole super cuts. Yeah, isn't there one where he like grabbed a little boy's head and lifts it up and pulls him in and kisses him? There's like, he kissed his granddaughter on the lips, didn't he? I believe so, yeah. That's something that happened, right? Yeah, I remember that. Let's fact check that one.

Recently, yeah. And also, it's like, oh, it's because he's older. It's like, it's just, it was a different time when he was younger. It's totally normal. It was back when, like, Humphrey Bogart would backhand women on camera and it was cool in movies. That was in the 50s. Yeah, that was in, like, the 40s. No, I mean, I don't care if that's true.

The New York Post ran the story in 2020, Joe Biden kisses his granddaughter on the lips during Iowa rally. I mean, it is shocking enough that they're like, this is a story, and they show images of him kissing his granddaughter on the lips. Okay, in fairness, is there an actual video of this? Because I could see somebody turning a cheek on accident the wrong way, and you get that photo. Again, I'm not saying that's what happened. We're both puckering. Yeah, you're right.

Okay, that looks weird. But, I mean, it's family. Sometimes you kiss family members on the mouth, and it's just like I've seen that happen before. But it's when it's the girls that aren't his, like his buddy's daughter that's trying to get out of the way when he's grabbing at her. And there's a camera. The picture's taken.

You're like, this is disgusting. Then you have to ask the question, is it better or worse when he's not related to them? Because that's a slippery slope to go down, too. I have no doubt that Hunter was deeply abused. I've thought that for a really, really long time. Seeing his acting out and his behavior this is not okay so the drugs i understand a lot of rich kids get into a lot of um really distasteful drug practices but his his level of acting out is very much a case of like actual abuse and for that i do feel bad for him and the way i feel like his dad used him for um business

deals what are you laughing look at this fact check from the ap photo shows biden kissing his granddaughter not a 15 year old oh that's better oh that's way better how does this she was 19 oh he's kissing his granddad on the lips that's totally fine imagine having to type that like working for the ap on the lips fact check do you think they believed that like the whoever wrote this do you think they believed that when they were typing it, they were like, oh, no, this is actually, this is totally different. This is a bait and switch. Someone was like, you know the meme where it's, if you ever want to get the answer to a question, just post the wrong answer and then someone will correct you. Somebody will correct you. That's who it is.

Somebody was like, I know that if I share the image of Biden kissing his granddaughter, the media will ignore it. So if I post the wrong thing, they'll be forced to check it. I just typed in Biden smelling girl into the search engine. You should do the same. No, no. I actually will not be doing that. If you want to confirm what we're talking about, don't take my word for it. Type Biden smelling girl into the search engine.

Turn off the Wi-Fi if you're doing that. I think he abused his skin, man. I think that's why Hunter's so messed up. I just looked at the math. Hunter was two when he was in a car accident with his mom and brother that died. So it's tough to say. I mean, I don't know. That would make anyone, I would imagine, would make someone's life hard knowing that.

I'm not saying, again, that I know for a fact. I'm just saying when I look at someone like Hunter Biden who's doing all these drugs, who's really messed up and sending his dad porn, I'm like, sounds like his creepy dad who sniffs children, gropes them, was probably doing the same to his son. I think they both like porn and they both know they both like porn. It sounds to me like his dad made it normal to share porn with his son, which is in itself disturbing. Like, when did that start? I don't view that as being. I personally do not view that as being normal. I don't view that as being wholesome in any way. That's disgusting. I don't view that as being, I personally do not view that as being normal. I don't view that as being wholesome in any way. That's disgusting. I don't know. It does kind of seem

like one of those things where like when you've, when you've been a drug addict for that long, and especially if your family doesn't discipline you when you're younger and you don't find a way to like get clean or get better and your brain just gets more and more addled and there's no repercussions for your actions. It's like escalating and getting worse and getting worse, and it's just more noticeable to us because it's such a prominent family. But I just don't know if I would expect anything more if he didn't take the – I don't know if he's clean now, if he's doing better now, but it's just not something that I – I have a hard time believing that he'd be able to get clean without help. And his dad's clearly not helping him. His family's too worried about their public image that they're having his messages in his laptop deleted and kept out of the public record. They don't have time to worry about how his actual health is.

You know what, though? The Biden family, they probably enjoy delicious meals of crab. I'm from Delaware. Excellent crabbing country. So out in Maryland, we have excellent crab cream of crab soup. That's right. Very wholesome for the family. That sounds delicious.

Yeah, it's really good. I'm hungry. Thanks. Yeah, I went to a restaurant and they had lobster and crab. Really? Yeah. It's very great. This is a strange segue.

Where are we going? What are we doing here? Nothing. Just complete inanity. I love it. I love seafood, man. I mean, I was just imagining like, you know, we're talking about Hunter Biden growing up and I'm like, they're in Delaware or whatever.

And I'm like they're probably eating a lot of crab. Yeah, you know it's in Delaware. You go to the restaurants, like everything's crab. I think one thing we didn't get to show is the pictures from that – what was it? The Daily Mail article? Yeah, I'm not showing those pictures. No, we can't show them. But I mean if you wonder if Hunter is doing okay now, look at that article and look at those pictures.

And that will answer the question for you. I don't know how old the pictures are, but he does not look like he's doing good. So look, Joe Biden has been miserable. Let's talk about this story real quick we got this from timcast.com kentucky democrat senate candidate wears noose in new campaign ad criticizing senator rand paul in case you're wondering how democrats are doing you need only look at this image you know joe biden's doing miserably it is that they are they need a hail mary desperate pass to try and pull this off and Joe Biden's doing miserably. They need a Hail Mary desperate pass to try and pull this off. And so we end up getting this ad

where an absolutely desperate Democrat candidate, they know they're losing. Now, I don't know what's going to happen. For all we know, Democrats end up winning. Sure, fine, whatever. The red wave is what's being predicted because Republicans are up in the generic ballot. This guy made a campaign ad with a noose around his own neck.

And progressives were calling it bold, courageous. And I'm like, well, that is true. You got to have balls of steel to make a campaign. But when I saw this, I was just like, it was kind of a moment of realization for me. For the first, it's the craziest political ad i've ever i've seen in my lifetime unless i'm forgetting something which is possible there was another one where they were like running people down in maga trucks or something that was also crazy but you know before like growing up the campaign ads were like my opponent wants to raise taxes and he voted no on the safer schools

act now it's a guy he puts a noose around his neck and he's like, look what they've done to me. And my, um, wow. He put this noose around my neck and said, this is MAGA country. Rand Paul poured bleach on me outside of Subway. The media's like, Rand, what do you have to say for yourself? And he's like, I didn't do it. And they're like, he's lying, he admits it. I never

did that. They're like, well, that's what you would say if you did it. If you did it. I do agree. I've never seen an ad where they make themselves the victim. when someone's running for office and is like look how badly i've been treated vote vote for me that's also a very good point that's such a bizarre strategy to be like i am a victim it's like we were supposed to elect leaders what is this i got i do have to point out yes i did not remember this one virginia ad features minority kids chased by truck with gillespie sticker and confederate flag yeah this is just the scare tactics wild it's it's like they're writing fanfics they are they are see but see but the difference is this is a normal ad the news no yeah we'll play it like what is this what does this white dude the confederate flag

doing they made sure he turned his head slowly though he's running down minority kids does it Like, what is this white dude with the Confederate flag doing? They made sure he turned his head slowly, though. He's running down minority kids. This is what it looked like. But I don't think he actually does anything to the kids. No, he doesn't. Well, whatever politician this was probably intervened before he got a chance to do so. I bet he did.

I actually think this is a really good commercial. Run, run, run! The truck is coming! The hijab girl. Oh, no! What's he going to do? Yeah, like, what is the guy even doing? Oh, no!

Not the Gadsden flag! He's going to run him over! Oh, is this a nightmare? How did it become night so fast? Actually, I think this is a good commercial. I know, the PSA is like, maybe stop fabricating fake hate crimes and scaring the crap out of your children. Exactly. Yeah, it is a good commercial i know the psa is like maybe stop fabricating fake hate crimes and scaring the crap out of your children exactly good idea these kids are having nightmares because you scream in their faces about things they don't got to be worrying about for the most part the kim klacik ads were really good that she had those were good yeah that was a good

example of high production value uh but focusing on whatever issues she wanted to talk about in the community you know walking the streets of bal. I just want to point out, they took the tweet. They took that unbelievably banal, histrionic, dramatic, left-wing tweet that we see every couple months and made a commercial. The, my kid said to me, I'm scared because Republican is going to do X. It's like, your kid didn't say that. You're making this up. What's wrong with you?

They took that and they made it a commercial. Do you remember the Lincoln, is it the Lincoln Project? Yeah. The Lincoln Project, their didn't say that. You're making this up. What's wrong with you? They took that and they made it a commercial. Do you remember the Lincoln – is it the Lincoln Project? Yeah. The Lincoln Project, their commercial that they had where it was like, four more years, and I didn't know you could serve three terms, mom. Do you remember that commercial? Yeah. They blow it up.

What? No, it was Donald Trump in a pickup truck chasing down Abe Lincoln. Probably, yeah. Jeez. He hates America. See, but the thing about these commercials is they're, I don't want to give them any sort of gravitas, but at least they're legit.

The thing with the noose is just a publicity stunt. This guy's running in Kentucky against Rand Paul. He's not going to win. He's trying to get Twitter followers to parlay that into a job at MSNBC. That's his goal. That's what a lot of it always feels like to me is that they're looking. They know they're not going to win, especially in specific districts. Yeah, he's trying to get attention so that he can make his next career move.

Well, he clearly literally wants victim points by actually putting a noose around his neck. I can't think of a more direct parallel to being like, oh, look at me. I'm a victim. Give me a job at MSNBC. I think that's it. Oh, man. We got gotta watch. Let me make sure I fix the video. Good night, America. This is one of the funnier...

Goodness gracious. Oh, yeah. Blow this one off. Don't let the bed bugs bite. Yes. Look at that color scheme. It's so dark. This is that meme where the kids are like, Mommy, Donald Trump is a fascist.

It's like a red-white, like an American flag blanket. Mommy. Mommy. You asked me to wake you and tell you what happened in the election. Oh, no, he did not. Yes, he did. Yes, he did. The kid definitely did that

look at her face this is so cringe hold on wait a minute she was oh my gosh. Just one second. All right. Besides everything that is obviously wrong with this, if he was running for president after he had already served two terms, why would the kid be confused about the possibility of him winning? The idea that you can only have two terms is not voter enforced. It's not like we let them run again and then the American people go't know he had two terms we're not voting but only after he wins but it's literally election night she says donald trump might win and he goes wake me up when we

find out and then she wakes up he goes but i thought you could only serve two terms like then why did you ask making me get up in the middle of the night to tell you about something you didn't even know about. She's like, son, we've been over this in some insane fascistic way that the Lincoln Project dreamed up. He changed the law. That's why he was running again. That's why there was the election. I got to give a shout out because this ad was actually like it may as well have been a Trump ad. Like an ad for Trump.

Yeah. Dude. And so, yeah. Like all the Trump supporters were like, yeah may as well have been a Trump ad. Like, an ad for Trump. Dude, and so, yeah. Like, I'm sure all the Trump supporters were like, yeah! Yeah, like, this is hilarious. This got more play, I think, than any, it got more un-referred media, whatever it is.

Remember the Carpe Donctum meme? Where it's like Trump 2020, 2024, 2028, 2032. And then it just goes to infinity. And they wrote articles where they were like, Trump supporters want Trump to be president for life. So funny. They're like, Trump would be president for more than two terms. And you know who I love? FDR. Best president we ever had.

We need someone like him again. Just like FDR. They worship the man. He served four terms as president, by the way, FDR, before the 22nd Amendment was passed. But he died shortly into his fourth term. Dude served so many terms, they had to pass an amendment. They were like, no, stop, no more.

If you do so much of something that someone has to pass a constitutional amendment, you are a problem. They say that FDR was the most fascist president. He and Woodrow Wilson, I don't want to derail. No, yeah, they were bad. Two terms, you think that's good? President should be able to serve. One term, one six-year term. One six-year term?

Yeah, think about it. I mean, I'm not entirely fully settled on this. I just think, you know, in terms of the president having to run for re-election, when you get into the last two years of their four-year term, it turns into silly season. And people start cutting checks for, okay, what vote do I need? election, when you get into the last two years of their four-year term, it turns into silly season. Right. And people start cutting checks for, okay, what vote do I need? Okay, I need minorities in Wisconsin. Wisconsin, what do they need?

And then federal money goes to them. Like, you get rid of that with one six-year presidential term. Now, that is assuming that I believe the president should have as much power as he does, which I do not. Exactly. Or she does. So, you know. That's really insightful.

It's very muddling to have a president running for office and trying to be the president. Yeah. Well, and I feel like, I don't know, that doesn't seem crazy, one six-year term. Like, it seems like a, yeah. It's a good compromise. You think one four-year term is just not enough? Well, one four-year term is your... I don't know.

I can be swayed. Yeah, things happen fast now. They happen a lot faster than they used to. Information travels a lot faster. Well, and they push stuff off. They start pushing stuff off on what they plan to get done, right? So they're like, oh, well, we'll focus on that for the second term. So they start pushing stuff on the agenda off until term two,

under the context that they're actually going to win. So if you give them one six-year term, that forces them to do all that they want to work on right then. But then how do you talk about, like, Congress and the Senate? Like, would that be along the same lines as, like – You know – Getting deep into the weeds there. So this ad, the Good Night America thing, was put up on October 22, 2020. I just think it's funny that they make this ad, and in 2019 we had the best numbers of our lives in the economy. And so the worst thing they could think of was that Trump would just win again because they had no real argument against him.

Honestly, you'd ask people like, okay, what don't you like about Trump? And they'd be like, he's a fascist or whatever. They wouldn't give you a real reason. That's why I think they made this ad because they were like, people don't know why they hate Trump. They just want him to go away. And they don't want him to go away because people are screaming in their ears in the media. So they voted for a guy who tanked the economy,

who is driving gas prices through the roof apparently is is conversing on the finer links to porn with his child just i mean the apple doesn't fall far from the tree and so now here we are the average person i mean man spending like what you're gonna spend like 70 to 100 bucks to fill up your gas tank but hey three three terms of trump oh that would have been the worst right there was uh like later the other day i was scrolling instagram and i had three stories in a row where it was like friends posting their gas like filling up their gas tank where it's like going over 80 and says thanks joe biden and like all three of them were like like one had like a sticker on it one said thanks joe biden the other one just was like a middle finger. And it was just all people focusing on the fact that they can't afford to drive anymore.

I swear, I think it's the Federal Reserve has been planning to crash this for a while. And they're blaming Trump and Biden. And they're making us blame Trump and Biden. And this has just been a fascist move since they know it was falling apart. Who's blaming Trump? Well, some people. Some people, they just hate him. But these guys are not

the ones that caused this this is like banking cartels let's talk about i think the the uh the the q anon people who think you had a third term are blaming him they're like why is he letting this happen yeah that was that was actually one of the things i will give um that uh what's that guy's name jordan klepper is that his name he he's he talks to a q anon guy and he's like so you think trump is really the president he's like yes he is he's like why is he making gas prices so high and the guy's like no that's joe biden he's like but you said that trump was president i'm like yeah okay those people but let's talk about what's going to happen in november so joe rogan on his show said he's a liberal jen keuger of the young turks response he says it's amazing how unaware people are

joe rogan just said quote i'm so liberal like i talk about it all the time I am not a conservative, based on what all he's done for the past two years is extreme right-wing propaganda. But in his mind, he's still a compassionate liberal. I can't name a single thing Rogan was in the news for in the last two years that was a left-wing position. I can't name a single thing he has criticized the right-wing for. He still promotes lunatic right-winger Alex Jones. And in his mind mind he's on the left hilarious and ridiculous hold on can i say something yes jank there's a reason for that because the status quo within the dominant media culture is that you do not get to say things that are right leaning so of course he's not going to be in the news for any of his left-wing opinions you don't get in trouble for that's not true joe was in the news for tons of left-wing stuff

supporting bernie sanders supporting and Yang, and supporting universal basic income numerous times. The issue is that Cenk doesn't actually read the news. He hears the news from someone else. And so when they're like, did you hear Joe Rogan said a naughty word? He goes, that's the news. When you actually go to the news websites, you're like, oh, Joe Rogan's promoting universal basic income, which is almost socialism. And he says, not promoting left-wing ideas. And fair enough,

but also the stories that have been the biggest, the ones that have been the most controversial, and the ones that have resulted in people coming after him and thus became giant stories were all the ones

where he had right-wing perspectives because those are the ones you are not allowed to have. Dude, it's the Elon meme. It's the Elon meme of like, the left has gone so much further to the left, the people... And authoritarian. It's the Elon meme of like the left has gone so much further to the left that people – And authoritarian.

Yeah. The Joe Rogans of the world who kind of just stayed put, the Joe Rogans, the Bill Mahers, are kind of like, no, you guys changed a lot. And so in his mind, I can see him still thinking that he's a – I don't know if he would call himself a progressive, but liberal-minded. I can see him thinking that. I say it all the time. People who don't read the news versus people who do their research. Because granted, reading the news might not inform you.

This is an example of Cenk. He doesn't say that Rogan has not said a left-wing view. He says, I can't name one. Because he hasn't been following him. He hasn't been listening to him. Exactly the point. So you see Cenk Uygur. He comes out and he criticizes Joe Rogan saying he's only spewing right-wing propaganda.

Fast Company wrote an article a couple weeks ago saying why you need to beware of right-wing comedy like Joe Rogan or something like that. No, I'll pull it up in a second. If you don't actually investigate, if you don't actually listen to people and you just believe the narrative machine, well, then jank is surprised by this do you think the news was ever has gotten more dishonest or it was always this dishonest always always yeah they've just become more overt in certain ways and they're also different audiences they've decided to pander to that have made it more obvious to us that they're dishonest take a look at this from fast company why you need to take right-wing comedy seriously from jo Joe Rogan to the Babylon Bee to Stephen Crowder. The new book, That's Not Funny, deconstructs their appeal and why it matters.

Yo, Joe Rogan was a famous comedian 20 years ago. Like, what do you mean right-wing? He was on news radio. He's hilarious. He's got Netflix specials. He does stand-up. He's on Fear Factor. He's not a right-wing guy.

He's never been. If you can't realize that this mainstream sitcom comedian hosting these shows who is a liberal if you if you if you can't see that you've moved on this one i i don't i don't know i don't know how i can help you do you think it's a publicity thing like do you think jake is trying to create controversy with the biggest podcast in the world to get attention i do i don't think so well he's not helping people with that tweet he's just getting attention no i think he was trending on twitter today i think he listen if you live in a world where you only hear from the

establishment machine and you think joe rogan is right wing because you don't actually investigate anything he said you're going to get frustrated you're going to get angry that that that anger that we feel about joe biden doing illicit business dealings with ukraine and china through his son about the quid pro quo with the with the prosecutor in ukraine with the president fire the prosecutor you're not getting a billion dollars you had no authority to do i get angry oh yeah because there's no accountability of course russiagate i get angry there's no accountability so i feel like man mannothermite, man. You know what? You know what? We've investigated these stories. I've looked up a bunch of facts.

I've seen sworn affidavits on the Ukraine Biden scandal. And so I say, I believe beyond a reasonable doubt that there was illicit business dealings here. In order for there to be accountability, we now need a legitimate investigation to determine that. But I am angry because it's not happening. There is actual probable cause. Joe Biden had no authority to do that. He did it. He admitted it on camera.

The prosecutor signed a sworn affidavit saying he did it. Courts ruled Ukraine were meddling. All of that stuff. And I say, I want accountability. Cenk Uygur hears narrative garbage nonsense without fact checking and says, Joe Biden is right wing. And he's genuinely angry about it. You said Joe Biden. Joe Rogan. Joe Rogan.'s genuinely angry about it. Oh, you said Joe Biden. Joe Rogan.

Joe Rogan. Sorry, Joe Rogan. But, you know, maybe... Genuinely... Joe Biden, you know... I think he's... I think, Cenk, you know what I think happens is he lives in this narrative world of the corporate press, and the world keeps...

The ground keeps dropping out beneath his feet. Like, when Trump won won everyone's seen that compilation video of the young turks losing it because they they trump broke them they couldn't believe it they had been told over and over again what was true and what was going to happen i gotta talk to jank about or jank rather sorry jank um about hillary's emails when that dropped and they went to wiki leaks like what did that because i remember him talking about it or at least acknowledging it and being like well the dnc is complete trash but like where is he where why is he still not like okay let's go deep on the military industrial complex now instead he's like still hung up on the partisanship it's tribalism versus principle a principled person says you know

i i'm not a fan of the republicans but hey if they're destroying public records trump was accused of something similar with cell phones whatever i'm like yeah we should we should know about that that's that's you know we need to hear about that it doesn't happen when you you've got the tribal side that says we ignore what our side does we only care if your side does it when that doesn't help your side like making bad faith arguments or completely ignoring things doesn't help you well Well, maybe. I think what we're seeing now is that the two factions are increasingly becoming NPCs versus player characters. So that's why I say the uninitiated versus the discerning. People who see the news and say, I don't know if I believe that.

I'm going to fact check it. Versus people who are like, wow, that's true. They lied to me a hundred times, but I'll believe it this time. And then you end up fighting over it. I mean, look, I got that's true. They lied to me a hundred times, but I'll believe it this time. And then you end up fighting over it. I mean, look, I got to tell you, when we bring up the left says the exact same things about the right, the right says about the left. And it's like, who's right? And I've heard this from these politically uninitiated people who are like, I'm not, you know, on the left, but the right says the exact same thing. And you got to know.

No, no, no, no, no, no. Jussie Smollett obviously was a hoax. Covington kids, hoax. Hands up, don't shoot, hoax. Russiagate, Ukrainegate. We go through the list all the time. At a certain point, you might be like, huh, the things the left believes tend to be false. How about that?

And then maybe then you can be like, maybe there's a reason why politically homeless, post-liberals, moderates, libertarians, and conservatives all occupy a similar space. Maybe there's a reason Christian conservative and traditional liberal can sit in a room and agree and make jokes with each other because we know for the most part what is true and what isn't. They don't. They don't understand. So everyone must be far right. Even Joe Rogan. Joe Rogan has been pro-universal basic income. Let me tell you, Joe Rogan

wants the government to issue blanket checks to all people to give them cash to live off of and bro, if that is right wing, then I don't know what left wing even is. Also, I don't think you can be in favor of legal abortion and be considered a conservative. I'm sorry.

And like, he doesn't call himself one, but they do. It's like, that's not a conservative position at sorry and like he doesn't call himself one but they do it's like that's not a conservative position at all like if anything's not conservative it's that well i'll tell you man it's it's like the modern left just says whatever the modern left says yeah so that's why when you talk to these people they they argue with me these progressives tim late-term abortion never happens why are you even talking about it? And I'm like, because you just said women should be able to do it. You should still be able to do it. Well, I'm like, do you think women should be able to have an abortion at nine months?

It's the woman's choice. Okay, well, I have an issue with that. It never happens. Why are you even bringing it up? Because you said it should. Because you're trying to pass a law to make it happen, bro. There's no principle. And that's what I think it ultimately comes down to.

There is a great filter happening right now in politics. Where the people who don't read the news are drifting off to the left. And the people who do, I should say the people who don't fact check are drifting to the left. And people who do are drifting to the right. I think a lot of the people who don't read the news are also being pushed to the right by people on the left they see behaving absurdly. Or also it's possible they're staying in the same place, but the left is moving so far to the left that they seem right wing by comparison hey look i'm gonna say it right now you know what you're right joe rogan's right wing he is he's right wing i mean fast company says it so uh to all of my friends who uh voted for joe biden you like joe joe rogan you're conservatives so you're all right wing so uh you know it's too well this

is because they will call literally every single person who's outside of their bubble of maybe three percent of the population right wing and then whenever our country passes any kind of legislation which is conservative they go this is not how a representative democracy is supposed to work well i don't know like you spend all your time calling 95 of the population right wing so why would it be a threat to our democracy for more right-leaning legislation to be passed? When they're saying our democracy, they're not talking about you. No, they are not. They literally mean our.

Right. Not yours. This is the mistake Republicans often make. These progressives will say, or these media personalities, it's a danger to our democracy. They're not saying you, conservative, and them. They're not saying the American people. They're saying it's a threat to the cult's efforts at building a cult democracy.

You know what? I think having two parties is a threat to their democracy. It should just be one, right? It should just be the Democratic Party. Then there'd never be another threat to our democracy again. The Democratic Party of the American people or the Democratic People's Party of America. That's right.

Something like that. Like the People's Party. The Democrats represent the people. Like the People's Party of the American People or the Democratic People's Party of America? That's right. Something like that. Like the People's Party? The Democrats represent the people. Like the People's Party of the United States. Yeah. The People's Republic. Hey, there you go.

Yeah. The Democratic People's Republic of America. Yeah. I think. I love it. Interesting. Wow. I would also hazard a guess that the average person, the politically uninitiated, doesn't know that any of those are hoaxes except for maybe the Smollett one?

Right, probably. If you poll, the average person says, I don't pay attention to politics. I don't know what's going on. And probably only because Dave Chappelle pointed it out. Let me, I'm going to ask you, Joe Bob, a question. Nobody chime in. This is a question for Joe Bob.

Uh-oh. How many buildings fell on 9-11? Fell completely? Yeah, collapsed. Three? You are correct. Good, sir. Most people don't know that. question for joe bob uh-oh how many buildings fell on 9-11 fell completely yeah collapsed uh three you are correct good sir most people don't know that now i'm not trying to start a conversation around 9-11 i'm trying to point out that one of the most culturally significant historical moments and most people would say two because they didn't actually look into what happened but i'll tell you this a lot of these people would say never forget, but they never learned in the first place. So in that same line, I was hanging out with a couple friends, I'll be vague, and they were shocked that not five or six police officers died in the J6 riots. That's what they thought.

Right. And they were like, I was like, no, no, no. There's, I mean, there's some complications with identifying what caused the police officer's death. I'm fuzzing up the. He had a stroke or something? Yeah, a stroke afterward or something like that. Yeah, something like that. But in their mind, five or six cops were killed that day. Ethan Klein just tweeted in response to Donald Trump that Trump incited an insurrection that killed six people. And it's like, what are you talking about?

You're talking about like, well, I think some dude fell. Some lady got trampled. And then Ashley Babbitt, I think, got shot. Well, I'm not saying that at all lightens what happened that day. I'm just saying factually, which is incorrect. How many, right now, the Daily Beast has been downranked by NewsGuard.

They're a fake news website now. They got the red exclamation point because they completely fabricated or just fell for the Kyle Rittenhouse lies. So there were articles written that said Kyle Rittenhouse killed black people. And it's just, they just made it up.

That was another thing. These people live in weirdo world now. A group of friends that I have in California thought Kyle Rittenhouse shot a couple black people. Okay. I understand how you would think that if you're barely paying attention. Yeah. You know, you were saying you were feeling anger when you thought about the Ukraine stuff with Biden and how other people just don't get it. I felt like that about 9-11 after the buildings came down and it was just like, okay,

the investigation's over. Nothing bad happened. It was just a couple of planes. And I was like, well, a couple of planes, three buildings and no one. It was like near impossible to find people that actually cared about it. And I was like, I went to anger and depression. So from like 2007, 8, 9, 10

I was suicidal. People are really, they really don't care. And now I've gotten past that and I care. I'm just going to do what I can, even though I'm disillusioned. It's the same thing. The only thing they cared about was adhering to the social norms and narrative to fit in. So if you said something like, hey, I think we need a better investigation into this because like we spent more money, I think, on Bill Clinton banging an intern than we did on that.

And then they'd be like, what are you saying? This is ridiculous. I was sitting down with some journalists, and this was in, was it 2012? When did we get Osama bin Laden? Was that 2012? I think so. I believe it was 2012 or 2013.

I believe it was 2011. 2013? I'm not sure. I remember being in college. It might have been 2011. Yeah. Pull that one up. I'm sitting with a bunch of journalists and uh we're at 2011 2011 i was at a bar in new york and then someone was was bringing up the story and i laughed and i said man that whole thing played out like a bad

action movie and then this journalist gets really angry he goes i am sick of hearing this conspiracy about and i was like whoa whoa what are you talking about and he's like you're acting like it didn't happen you're claiming it did i was like i didn't say that at all i said that whole thing played out like a bad action movie did you read the story on what happened with like he grabbed his wife then he didn't grab his wife and they dumped his butt out a helicopter and he was like yeah and i'm like yeah it sounds like a bad action movie and look but it happened i was like i didn't say it didn't dude calm down anything that deviated from the approved norm people just snapped they're like don't deviate from machine and i'm like bro think chill why are you getting so angry about this this is what happens to people when anything

threatens their their constructed worldview so what's happening now is with people who have the ability to read information on the internet fact check things for themselves and be like, oh, yeah, look at this. Joe Biden did say if you don't fire the prosecutor, you're not getting a billion dollars. Wow. The media lied to me. The people who don't want to hear it plug their ears and go la la la la la la. And then when you say it to him, they get angry. Shut up. Shut up. You're challenging my worldview. Brandon Strzok told us the other day how he ended up walking away from the democrats because someone told him that trump never mocked a disabled reporter and he was like yes he did we saw him do it i've seen the video and he didn't want to watch the video and so he said okay i'm gonna watch this it's gonna be obvious propaganda and he said when he watched it it actually hurt

it it was it hurt him like he experienced pain pain from realizing his worldview was wrong and he couldn't deny it anymore. What do you guys think of what is the – on a scale of 1 to 10 throughout history, where is politics just in general at right now in the country? What do you mean at? What is 1 and what is 10? In terms – 10 being like everybody's talking about it all the time and one is nobody's ten. No, no. We're in it. That's why it seems like that.

I would say somewhere between four and six. It's a ten. Let's operate on that really quick. Maybe it's a relativity scale maybe. World War II, I would have thought it was more. It's a ten right now and I say that because that doesn't mean everyone at all times absolutely only talks about politics. Obviously, Brett talks about pop culture stuff on Pop Culture Crisis.

But what I mean is when you see podcasters who got started by being edgy comedians now make shows about politics. Yeah, actually, Rogan's the canary in the coal mine on that one. When he started talking about politics, I was like, wow. H3H3. Ethan Klein did edgy comedy, and now it's a left-wing podcast. What was the follow-up on your question? Well, so, let's just pretend there was an election, and let's just

say one candidate got, I don't know, 80 million votes. And the other candidate, say, got 80 million votes. How many people are there in the United States of America? 320. So that's about half the people voted. How many are voting age 200 you discount the people under 18 but even then like let's just say hypotheticals 40 of people don't vote actually i think that might be the voting like the voting age block no way now obviously the uh uh let see, 252 million people are voting age. Yeah, okay, so two-thirds of the voting age population, I think.

So what is that, 100 million people don't vote? Something like that, yeah. Yeah, yeah. 240 million people were eligible, 66% submitted ballots. 158 million. That's a huge number. Yeah. ballots 158 million that's a huge number yeah right like and especially given the fact that it seems like we're inundated constantly with political discussion political discourse whatever

you want to call it and still a huge percentage of people don't vote i got an idea here's what we do if people don't vote and the amount of people who don't vote is greater than the amount of votes for, greater than the greatest amount of votes for a single candidate, then there's no president. Perfect. The United States stops. Can we just skip to that part? It stops.

It gets put on hold until we can figure it out. 66.1% of people submitted ballots. That means, didn't vote, would have won. Well, here's what I think we need to do. We need to have a third option on the ballot that says literally anyone else. And if you pick it, if it wins, a random person from the population is selected, and they are the president.

The king of the bean. It's called Demarchy. With the ranked choice voting thing. But not to get off on that real quick. Demarchy would be like you'd get Congress duty. It's like one day you go to your mailbox, and you've got a certified letter, and it's like you've been chosen for Congress duty. You're like, ugh. I'm going to Capitol Hill.

I've been chosen for Congress duty. You're there for a couple months. That honestly would be terrible. I think what I'm trying to get at ultimately is that there's this huge attempt to push people to one side or the other by the respective sides to pull people into their side or push people to their side or whatever it is that you want to call it. While in reality, everything is based on turnout. Are people going to show up and are people going to turn out? In terms of running actual campaigns, especially at the local level, you don't really care about changing the mind about somebody who's not registered your particular party, whatever candidate you're running. You're really caring about turning the people out who you already know are going to vote for you. And so I feel like that's part of the big reason why the political rhetoric is so heated because it's not about convincing people to your ideas it's getting the people who already agree with you to just show up here here's a fascinating thing in order for conservatives to win more voters they need only convince a person

to do nothing no no to search for the information on their own, to take the initiative upon themselves, read the news. The left needs to strictly control the news and make sure they don't get access to what's really going on. And also what is most important to them is flooding the voting booths with uninformed people. So this is why you constantly see get out and vote campaigns where some left wing celebrity, which is to say most, if not all of them, is on screen telling you that you need to get out there and vote because they know if somebody needs a celebrity to tell them to vote, they don't know anything about politics and they are therefore going to choose whoever the Democrats are putting up. That's going to backfire on them. You're right.

You're right. That is absolutely happening. I think that's going to backfire on them. Currently, you've got the border situation being what it is uh there's the argument to me that the conservatives want the labor the liberals want the votes especially when it comes to hispanics uh we've seen the demographic shifting heavily heavily towards the whole conservative side, meaning that a bunch of liberals are trying to depend on those votes incoming,

and it's going to backfire. Because I think the left has gone so far left, you've got a family-oriented, generally heavily religious population who they used to send get-out-the-vote campaigns to their community, all of a sudden realizing, holy cow, these guys are way,

way, way more left than I want. And I, I honestly think it's going to backfire. Yeah. People are questioning the narrative, uh, way more than they were a decade ago.

And 2009, part of the reason why I lost, it was disillusioned with life is because no one, it seemed like 7% of the people cared. Now it's like 20, 28, 27% of the people. It's enough. It's enough people.

And those people, I used to be Democrat. Brandon Strzok. My parents. They know. They will question nonsense. They will question the things they're told. And that's their old school liberals, man. Not everybody, though. A lot of people are like,

a lot of people are like, I watch CNN. They don't lie. But they do. Do you think that democrats or liberals whatever you want i don't like labels necessarily but do you think the left as a side has another barack obama somewhere because yeah maybe yeah barack obama was whether or not you agree with his policies, a political superstar, like fantastic at making you feel good. And like we're all saying that that's what's driving people to the polls on the left side of the aisle. Do you think they have one of those in the wings? Because we were talking about the 2024 election downstairs and what happens there.

Currently, I don't see a Democrat front runner. Yeah, it wouldn't be. They need a guy. Unfortunately, I think society has a lot of disillusioned young men and they're that's why they're attracted to donald trump he's a strong male figure michelle's great personality wise like like great like obama was great but i don't know if she would appeal to those young men which obama did in spades oh totally the only other one i can see is like beto o'rourke but he's such trash these days. I don't think. I could see them trying to push him, though, but he's just not charismatic.

No way. He's also too just out there. There's too much baggage there. He's so bad. Check this out. Way too many problems. I got this here tweet from David Hookstad. David is, let's see.

Oh, okay. So you know him. Yeah. He says, Beto O'Rourke says people who currently own semi-automatic rifles should have them confiscated. Oh. 22 seconds. Let's hear what Mr. O'Rourke has to say. I just took the position that may not be politically popular, may be too honest, that not only should no one be able to purchase an AR-15 or an AK-47

because they're designed to kill humans in that high-impact, high-velocity round. We'll just tear up everything inside. You'll bleed out before we can get you back to life um but i don't think that the people who have them right now in civilian use should be able to keep them i just took the now i wonder if there's more to that but come on this is the guy who said heck yeah we're taking your air 15 so now apparently he's coming back out saying he's going to confiscate your weapons yo they lie and they say no one's talking about taking your guns and they're like oh yeah will. I wonder what their internal polling shows. It shows that conservatives are overwhelmingly pro-gun and Democrats are split.

So the overwhelming majority of this country is like, now we want to keep our guns. Then they come out with these fake stats where they're like, most people support background checks. It's like, okay, yeah, we have those already. So what do you mean by that? And they're like, well, when we ask people, it's almost a mountain Bailey. They'll say, well, no, no, no. We mean restricting private sales, requiring background checks there. And I'm like, that's not what you asked people in the poll.

In the poll, it said, do you think there should be background checks for gun buyers? And they say, yes. You didn't get specific because at almost almost every single point of sale there's going to be a background check then they say no no we mean shut up you want to registry that's what they want i i just think beto wants attention like i i honestly like the the stunt that he pulled at the press conference i'm sure you guys covered that where he walked up and talked and like it's just a publicity stunt and i i don't like stuff like that being made political also just just for the sake of being fair i also didn't like when governor abbott used the shooter's name immediately after it happened i didn't like that either i thought we were all

on the same page like we're not going to glorify these people i want to pull up this tweet from jonathan height because we're fans of his assessment but he he has one of the worst tweets i've ever seen he said the best thing I've ever read about reducing gun violence is this 2017 essay by Nick Kristof recently updated. If we take a public health approach modeled after cars, there is so much we can do even in a divided country. Wrong!

And I'll tell you why. Here's what he's proposing. Background checks. 22% of guns are obtained without one. And you need a background check at any federally licensed dealer. There are some private sales. But whenever they're talking about these tragic events, they were purchased legally. Background checks didn't change it.

Safe storage. Trigger locks as well as guns and ammunition stored separately, especially when children are in the house. Well, that's great. Someone kicks your door in the middle of the night and they're going to violate your wife. And you're like, hold on. I need to open the safe with the bullets, then open the safe with the gun, then load the rifle, and then I can save you, honey. And immunity for firearm companies. That's a subsidy to a particular industry. No, it isn't. What are we going to do? If someone manufactures glass bottles and then someone uses that to crack someone

of that, you see the bottle maker. It's like you're not supposed to commit crimes. Protection orders. Keep men who are subject to domestic violence protection orders from having guns. We already do. Straw purchases. We are going to allow that. Ban bump stocks. OK, that actually happened under Trump. But that makes no sense because full auto was never a big issue here. Ban under 21s, constitutional violation. Ammunition checks, experimentation with a one-time background check for anybody buying ammo. We already have background checks on people buying weapons.

What would that accomplish? Research smart guns. Researching means nothing. It doesn't mean anything. So this is, you know, for Jonathan Haidt to say that this is, you know, even in a divided nation we can do those things. No, you can't, because you have no idea what you're talking about. I'm not going to even pretend that I know for the most part what I'm talking about because I'm not even an expert on guns.

But I can look right away and be like, you have no idea what you're talking about. And that's the problem. The ignorant Democrat voters are voting for their feelings and they don't know anything. We demand background checks. OK, you win. Oh, you guys. All right. I agree. You win. We have background checks. Okay, you win. Oh, you guys. All right, I agree.

You win. We have background checks now. Next. Well, you know, these people committing crimes are breaking every law in order to do them. Do we need more laws? Yes. That will do it. I think that'll fix it.

There was a Marco Rubio got a bunch of heat, I think, in like 2015, where Marco Rubio's claim that no recent mass shootings would have been prevented by gun laws. And then Glenn Kessler of the Washington Post, the fact checker over there, not only didn't give it any Pinocchios, he gave it the rare Geppetto. I'm like, yeah, no, he's right.

All of the mass shootings wouldn't, none of that unfortunately would have been stopped. Choose my words carefully here. Marco Rubio said that none of those, would have been stopped. Choose my words carefully here. Marco Rubio said that none of those shootings would have been stopped by any sort of gun laws. And even the Washington Post said, yeah, no, he was right about that. And the problem is what you were saying is that people are just ignorant on the issue. My biggest thing, too, is also just asking questions about implementation.

Oh, I just say what's an assault weapon? Oh, I say that, too, is also just asking questions about implementation. Oh, I just say what's an assault weapon? Oh, I say that, too. The first thing I think is if you ask the average Democrat voter what they believe an AR-15 is, they're going to tell you that the AR stands for assault rifle. And they're not going to be able to define to you that they're going to think that it's full auto. I would guess that most of them think that's full auto. So shout out to our good friend Ethan Klein. He was talking on H3. And he was mentioning something about people going in front of Abbott's house with AR-15s.

And he goes, I'm like, is that what you think those things do? Yeah. No wonder you want to ban them. So I am, as someone who went to an art school, I am an expert on people who don't know anything about guns. And so I remember I was having a conversation. That's like embedding to research you know like you're going it was like a case study kind of thing yeah yeah i went undercover thanks for doing that for us you're welcome so i was having a conversation with a friend and she said to me

that um she was like well i don't think that we should have like these semi-automatics and i was like do you know what a semi-automatics is? Like it's semi fully, you pull the trigger and it sprays the bullets. And I was like, no, no, no, that's not what any of that means. And I tried to explain that that was not the case. Uh, and, and their response was to just insist that we still didn't need to have them. I wish I had the clip, but I remember watching in other ways, by the way, but just was out to lunch on that one. I remember watching... Jesse Smollett is trending. Probably because of that. Because of this ad?

Sorry, I interrupted you. He's got a new show coming out on BET+. He's back at work. Oh, nice. Really? Yes. Are you serious? Is that a joke?

He's directing and starring in a show about breakdancing or something like that. It's like an LGBTQ film film that BET Plus is making. He's trending because everyone's saying Amber Heard is Jesse Swann. I love it. Sorry, what were you saying? Oh, no. Last week I was watching MSNBC

or one of your big cable news networks and they were talking about gun control and like your point, both of the anchors were like, yeah, we need gun control. Have you ever shot a gun? No, I've never shot a gun. Have you shot a gun? No the anchors was like yeah we need gun control have you ever shot a gun no i've never shot a gun have you shot a gun no no never i would never shoot a gun so we have two people who've never shot a gun talking about gun control clearly not knowing anything about the thing that they're trying to control yeah they need to learn how

to control guns those two people remember there you go remember the reporter who got ptsd from firing they are yeah and then people were replying with comments of like them training their young There you go. Remember the reporter who got PTSD from firing a AR-15? They are, yeah. And then people were replying with comments of them training their young daughters to shoot it. Yeah, they're like, this is actually not that hard. There's a video going viral of a little girl dual-wielding. I don't know what she's got, 1911s. And she's using two fingers to pull the trigger. And then they're like, this is child abuse. Look what they're doing to that child.

And I'm like, well, the real problem is that they're having her fire two handguns simultaneously, which is just terribly inaccurate. There's no reason to do that. There's a meme I love, and it said actually, maybe I can pull it up and try and find it. I posted it on Instagram. It was hilarious. Does Jesse Smollett actually have a show? I can't tell if that was true. I forget what the name

of the, yeah, we kind of mentioned it in Podluck. It's called MAGA Country, and it's a sitcom. About break-dancing MAGA supporters. That would be fantastic. Who wander the streets of Chicago at 2 in the morning. In the cold. Here's the meme I got. It says,

Children and firearm safety. Children and guns are simply a bad idea. Your average firearm is too unwieldy for a typical child to operate in a safe and effective manner. That's right. Children are much better suited to crew-served weapons. Correct. The semi-stationary characteristic of a mortar or heavy machine gun relies less on the child's physical strength and stamina and also builds teamwork.

Yeah. And it shows a little boy and little girl, and it shows, like, a machine gun and a mortar and a thumbs up. I actually had the thought after. I don't think that should be legal. After this Texas meme? Could they fly drones from an iPad? Yeah. They would be better at that.

I was picturing kids, third graders, getting gun safety lessons in government school, if it's going to be in the United States government schools, that if a shooter comes in and kills the teacher and there's 12 kids in the class ducking for their desks and one of the kids sees the teacher's sidearm that the teacher was killed before it could use. The kid, what, you just want him to huddle there until he gets shot? No. I want the kid to pick up the gun

and end the shooter. I don't care if they're 9 or 15 or 21. If they can do it, do it. Well, let's phrase this in a legal manner. Children should be capable of defending their lives or the lives of others. Just like anyone else. When it comes to your life,

yes, they should. Well, they want more autonomy for kids when it comes to all the stuff that they shouldn't have autonomy in, but when it comes to actually teaching kids to use guns like they used to in schools, there are pictures from the 50s and sixties where

middle schoolers are learning to shoot. Like they're learning marksmanship. They were competing with each other. I think that's such a great idea. And I wish that we hadn't gotten rid of that. Yeah. Uh, welding as well.

Yeah. Things like that. Carpentry and swords, sword fighting. Yeah. We did that in college with professor pool. Yeah, correct.

Yes. Well, no, James Lindsay. Oh yeah. I'm like, he's like trained with Gian. Yeah. fighting yeah we did that 101 with professor pool yeah correct yes well no james lindsey oh yeah i'm like way more he's like trained with jian yeah i'm way more bullish on gun rights for kids because after this texas thing man the cops stopped them from going in and stopping it like you let these kids to their own devices in a classroom as they were getting mowed down

i am not comfortable with that yo something weird is going on there because like the left is entertaining conspiracy theories about what happened yeah tell me what the cops aren't cooperating anymore with the investigation the police stopped the intervention and so the left is like what is going well it serves their narrative because they hate cops right so when you have a story about the cops barring parents from saving their kids and not going in themselves they're like what's this all about then you've got the uh one of the guys involved one of the cops i guess got a seat on the city council or something so the left has been pushing these uh these conspiracy theories well also i mean what happened there is the perfect example of what gun control

does the police stop law-abiding citizens from protecting from protecting themselves and people they care about well the maniac who kills people still doesn't get away with it. And that is the function that those police officers served in that instance. Yeah. Obviously it would be ridiculous to give a third grader the right to open carry a handgun, but in the presence

of a supervised adult that is licensed, maybe that you could legalize their ability to handle one for training purposes. And then if it hits the fan and it's wartime in the classroom like it was in Texas last week, these young soldiers can defend themselves. Young soldiers. They have no other choice at that point.

My God, a girl smeared blood on her face and laid down so that she looked dead so that she didn't get killed. I would have rather that she dove for a handgun and ended the guy. No one else is going to do it. And I have to say that I think that the only way out of this is to teach everyone responsibility. And I do mean everyone. The only way to stop active shooters like this is to make them understand that if they walk into a shop or a store that they hope to rob or a bank,

they will be met with lethal force. There is no other way out. I'm sorry to say it. That is the way of the world. We've been very protected. We've lived in like this marshmallow utopia for a really long time. We have a hard time seeing hard truths. It is interesting to see like my friends who are all posting stuff about like ACAB in like 2020 now saying,

well, no, you don't need a gun. The cops are going to show up and they're going to save you. And then the cops, in an instance where the cops didn't show up and save them. It's a horrible example. This is like the, if this was like a police, if this was a movie about the police,

this would be like the opposite of a movie. It's like they're actually the worst people on earth. You got to speak their language. Here's what I say to them. Do you think the police are racist? Well, of course, yes, they say.

Okay. Do you think that white supremacists will give up their guns if the guns are made illegal? No, of course they won't. Okay. Do you think racist cops will enforce the law against white supremacistsacists will give up their guns if the guns are made illegal? No, of course they won't. Do you think racist cops will enforce the law against white supremacists who refuse to give up their guns?

And they say, yeah, of course they won't. Do you think that police will use the justification of gun checks to raid and violate the Fourth Amendment rights of black people? Well, yeah. So you're saying you want to pass a law that you think that racists won't enforce against other racists but will be weaponized against black and brown people? Yeah, sounds good. I mean, that's the entirety of their narrative. Cops are racist. Cops don't.

Cops protect other racists. Cops arbitrarily enforce against black people. So they want laws. And I said, you know what's going to happen? I was like, so what? A racist cop can go to any black person's home and just say, gun check because you passed the red flag laws. But I don't have any guns.

Well, we got to search their house. Too bad. I'm like, is that what you're advocating for? All gun control is racist. Well, left-wing positions don't involve that much forethought. Here's what's required. You say, I have good intentions. Pass my law.

Okay, well, what is your law going to result in? I have good intentions. Okay, what is the law going to do? How do you enforce it? All of the concerns you mentioned. Are those yours? But I want good thing. And then you point out.

I have questions about good thing, Seamus. You want bad thing. You want bad thing. I don't want bad thing. You want bad thing. You ask questions about good thing. You want bad thing. That is literally the entire strategy.

Why do you want bad thing? Tim Pool is on the cover of the newspaper the next day. Man want bad thing. It's totally insane and basically the whole idea is let's look at uh policy based on the intentions and not the results or the incentives that said policy creates culturally can can this be a multi-faceted approach like i i'm all you know all with you on the gun side too but npr two three years ago did a mass shootings can be contagious research shows which is extremely indicative of the way the media covers it too like can we all get on the same page of how we're

covering this sort of stuff like you have to talk about it yeah there there are people in media who want to shock to make money so they're not going to tell you the truth they're then going to accuse us of trying to shock to make money but the fact that they will show the face and the name of these murderers when what they want is attention right and they'll say here's his manifesto read it everything that he wanted here you go well worse still is what happens is when the manifesto comes out and clearly the person's insane the media will latch onto anything that smears the right yeah so like here's a guy in uh was it buffalo i think yeah who said he was a he was a communist he outright said it's like i'm authoritarian left and they're like he's right wing like well he was racist interesting but you

know he was crazy the adl says racism is right wing not i'm not even kidding if a racist attacks someone it's listed as a right wing attack so it's funny like the adl says right wing is anti-government right wing is like uh bad they want bad thing right but it's like racism bad therefore racism right but here's the thing if a black nationalist who commits a racist murder is left wing and the left was like what what how is that left wing ask the adl it's like black and white or left and right i guess that's that's how they so if an asian commits a hate crime against the hispanic is that right wing or left wing that would probably not be listed on the adl's website north yeah north yeah no i don't know

north yeah they just put a question mark on the map yeah they're like we don't know what that means and we're not going to engage with it but we had we had we've had black nationalist killings we have one in brooklyn and they say it's left-wing. It's like, but those guys have the same ideology as Hitler. Well, you know, he was black, though. It's like, okay. But the white dude who hates the government. Like, leftists hate the...

Antifa are anarchists. I shouldn't say that. Many left-wing anarchists hate the government, and they're left... Like, they're anarcho-communists or whatever. But if the person doesn't explicitly explain that they're socialist it's right wing yep okay dude i feel like a hurricane as a tornado of identity politics ripped my brain out of my body in the last like 37 minutes did you guys feel like that that was a great phrase it's it's just the the identity politics are thick in this one yeah i don't know how to respond to it because I can't.

I feel like, no, it's one of those things where, like, acknowledging it causes it. I don't think that's it. I think we do have to acknowledge the division, but I don't know. It's, I don't know. Well, is it identity politics to acknowledge that specific political groups are trying to do things that they've outwardly stated they're trying to do? If you just assume everyone in the group is, like like adheres to the group authority, it is. So if 10 people walk into a bank and they're all wearing the same outfits and they all came in the same truck and then nine of them commit a bank robbery and the last guy is like, you go get them, guys.

And then you're like, you're all bank robbers. He goes, I didn't do anything. Or would they get arrested as charges accomplished? Yeah, if he was the driver? No, no, no, just someone who was hanging out. How bad would your luck be if a group of ten people walk into a bank all wearing the same clothes, nine of them commit the robbery, and the tenth one just stands there watching and cheers them on? Just thought it was a flash mob, man.

Yeah, how bad would your luck be if you just happened to be wearing the same clothing as the bank robbers that day, and you walk in and they start robbing you, like, wait a minute. You ever see the Thomas Crown Affair? No. When, like, the guy steals the painting and everyone's dressed in the same clothes and so they're all moving around like everyone's like where do you go it's him no he's there he's there like there's just like some random guy who's wearing the same clothes and he's like oh crap it's tough when i get it's tough when we talk about the democrats or like the left because i know there's people that are democrat that aren't crazy and then same with

the right right well that's why i would say they're they're npcs because if at this point you're like you know jimmy dore had a segment the young turks were ragging on him because he was like if you're anti-war you vote for trump and i'm like that is objectively true trump didn't start any new wars and he was pulling our troops out of the middle east joe biden started a new war well i shouldn't blame him for something you know war. He put our troops back into these existing wars like Syria. And now we have Ukraine and they're sending money and funds. So it's like, oh, more new wars happening. I can't blame him.

That's on Russia. But if you voted for Trump, you have Abraham Accords. What is it? Was it Israel and the UAE with a free trade agreement, I think? That's crazy. That was almost none of my friends had heard anything about that. When we talked about this and they're like, why would you? First of all, I didn't tell them who I voted for.

They just kind of assumed whoever I might have voted for because I didn't post Biden memes and talk about that stuff. And I just asked them, I was like, do you have any idea about either the Abraham Accords or the progress we've made in the Middle East or North Korea? And they're just like, he's racist. And I'm like, I can't. Oh, wow, he is. What did he say? I tried to explain to them. I was like, the thing, like you mentioned with Brandon Strzok about with,

what was that with the insulting the, yeah. For me, it was the MS-13 gang members and how they framed how he said it as all members, you know, all people from Mexico. And it was like, when I saw the clip, it was so egregious. I'm like you have to be at least somewhat aware, but most people aren't going to take the time to actually look into it. So I just – you can't even look. I always just – Socratic method or people say like, yeah, well, Trump's a racist. I'll go, oh, really?

Oh, yeah. What did he do? And then they're just like, I don't know. That's crazy. So you don't know that he did anything racist here's another good art school story i was having a conversation with somebody and they mentioned that uh they thought trump was racist against immigrants and i pointed out that immigrant was not a race and they said that we should stop talking politics what usually happens is um i'll say like what what do you mean they If they'll say something like Trump is racist against Muslims or whatever.

Yeah, they'll mention the Muslim ban. I'll be like, Muslims not a race. Like, do you mean religious? And they'll be like, oh, yeah, he's like bigot against religions. And I'm like, oh, like, but the countries that he banned is like Venezuela was included on that list. And they'll be like, well, that was a red herring. I'll be like, oh, you think that he was just like it was a conspiracy? Like he was pretending to ban Venezuela so that he could secretly ban Muslims. And that was a red herring i'll be like oh you think that he was just like it was a conspiracy like he was pretending to ban venezuela so that he could secretly ban muslims and that was like a plot

and they'll be like well i'll be like i don't know is that what you think like the government was secretly plotting to ban muslims so they pretended to ban people from venezuela is that what happened i just don't i think i think it's just a simple answer it's like trump banned a bunch of countries because the obama administration's doj or state department said there was a risks there well you know whatever man trump did say you know that he wanted to put a moratorium or whatever on muslims entering the country or whatever also it's funny to point out to them that obama was called deporter in chief that blows their minds and they find out how much uh how much he uh like how many people he deported but also about most of them don't know anything about the drone strikes or anything that went on before that because they weren't politically initiated before the Trump presidency.

I think we should – I should hire canvassers, the people who like stand in the street and like wave to people and just be like, hey, do you have a minute to talk about the greatest president ever, Barack Obama? Just five seconds and they'll be like, yeah, sure. What's up? Like, we are trying to get petitions to provide legal immunity for Barack Obama because he killed an American child without charge or trial. We think that it was an accident

and he should not be held accountable nor should he give up his peace prize and we're looking for signatures. And they'll be like, what? It's like, what?

And if they say no and they'll be like, come on, we don't want Obama to get in trouble over this. That's a great way to – He needed to kill that kid. That's right. We want to talk about the disposition matrix.

What's that? Like, oh, well, it's how you – yeah. I figured out who that – The disposition matrix. Do you think people ever catch up to that sort of stuff? Do you think it ever will be widespread enough that people understand what's happening? For example, inflation numbers. Inflation numbers didn't

tick down, which is what a lot of people that I talk to think. Inflation numbers went down because the White House said it went down. No, it just didn't go up as much. Do you think anybody gets hip to that at any point? Yes, some people do. Like I said, it's NPCs

versus playing characters yeah only the ones who are already politically initiated and care enough to look into it would actually well enough to look farther at this point the politically initiated people are like i don't believe you anymore so now no matter what they say it's like i'm gonna assume the opposite yeah like the media has become george costanza where they just do everything opposite it's a sacrifice to become you know a critical thinker it requires a lot of energy and uh it's are people willing to make that sacrifice i don't know why do you have a reason to live if you do then you'll probably make the sacrifice let's go to super chats if you have not already would you kindly smash that like button subscribe to this channel share the show with

your friends and become a member at timcast.com we're gonna have a members only show coming up for you at 11 p.m and uh we will uh we good show, but let's talk about these Super Chats. No Mas says, Tim, laugh and have fun with Joe Bob as a guest. Well, okay, I think we did. Done and done, yeah. Matthew Reckamp says, in regards to Uvalde, obviously it's wrong to shoot cops, but at what point do they stop being cops and start being accomplices? That's the crazy thing. They were

stopping the parents and not stopping the shooter. They were assisting the shooter. That's crazy. And it wasn't even them who stopped him. It was the Border Patrol who did it. Were they helping this kid? I'll say this. They helped him whether it was on purpose or not. Sure did. That's crazy, man. It is crazy.

Grofty says, buck, buck, buck, buck. Indeed. Yes. Wise words. Insightful. Honestly, it's a good point. He has the receipts.

Adam Drop says, hang on, Tim. Who among us hasn't sent their father a porn link? Or is it just Hunter and I? Yeah, I think it's just Hunter and you, man. Probably you two. Sorry. Adrian Contreras says, Tim said he clicked on the Hunter link for research. Is that what you're calling it nowadays, Tim?

I was basically saying, I'm not going to rag on somebody for having weirdo search history. You can rag on Hunter Biden and call him a degenerate or whatever. The bigger issue is the political implications of sharing phone numbers. But I was like, look, I typed in Hunter Biden MILF porn or whatever not to actually watch it because I'm researching the news and if someone saw that in my browser history, Tim, what are you doing? No, you don't understand. It's a news thing and they're going to be like, sure it was. Sure.

Clear Tim's browser history if he dies. Dagger says, Ian, look up Edward Bernays, his uncle and his nephew mind-blowing psychological propaganda. He's the father of modern propaganda I believe. American theorist considered as a pioneer in the field of-blowing psychological propaganda. He's the father of modern propaganda, I believe. American theorist considered as a pioneer in the field of public relations and propaganda.

Didn't he, like, make bacon a thing? I don't know. Like breakfast bacon. I think me and Andy talked about that. I love him then. I do enjoy bacon. Like a Bernays sauce? Ooh, maybe.

That's something else. I don't know about that. I look into that. But orange juice, I think he did. Like, orange juice is horrible for you. It's, like, really, really bad for you. It's nothing but sugar, yeah. Yeah, and the idea was there was an orange surplus, which meant the price was going to drop.

And the farmers were like, what can we do to make sure we sell all these oranges? And he said, make a new product. They came up with orange juice and said, if an orange is healthy, a glass of orange juice is even more healthy. It's like hot wings. Same thing with chickens. They couldn't figure out what to do with the wings, and so now you have hot wings. Really? I love chicken wings.

I'm pretty sure people generally ate the breast and the thigh. I'm pretty sure. That's where the pork McRib comes from. They have a surplus in a certain month of the year and that's what they put it into. His family was not involved with the Bernays. Boo!

Spelled differently. Oh. Thomas Sidebottom says, Seamus, I watched the oldest video on the Freedom Tunes channel the other day. You've grown so much and come so far. I love seeing that. Keep it up. Thank you so much.

Yeah, that would be how government works. And that's, you know, this fall, it will have been eight years. Oh, that was funny. The guy's like, I'm going to buy a thousand lawnmowers. Yes, yes, yeah a thousand yes yes yeah yeah you guys gotta check it out it's like what does he say so the whole idea is should i spoil it or should they go see it it just gives the gist so the whole the whole gist is like a guy comes to his house and he's like i'm the social contractor and he's like what's your superpower he's like i build and buy things without your consent regardless of whether you want them and then expect you to pay for it when I'm done.

That's right. He's like, that's a terrible superpower. I don't like that. But then he has something useful. And then he's like, I noticed your car was broken, so I hired a repairman. And the car gets fixed. And your roof was leaking, so I hired a roofer. And he's like, oh, that's actually pretty nice.

And I noticed you didn't have a cat, so I ordered you 6,000 tons of cat food. Why would you do that? Well, my friend does own the cat food factory. Oh, I see. But go check it out. If you really want to see how far we've come, freedomtunes.com. Become a member. Five bucks a month.

Get an extra cartoon every week and see a bunch of cartoons that we have up there now. You guys are going to love them. Neil Sawyer says, hey, Shim Sham, I tried to use potatoes to pay for my membership to Freedom Tunes, but for some reason it only let me use this garbage currency called USD. Yeah, so I've been talking. Seriously, best $10 I've ever spent. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you. And that's more, and that is

very generous because that is more than we ask. Anything above $5 is completely voluntary, so thank you so much for giving that. And yeah, I have been talking to the web developers about the potato payment processing possibilities. Would they just send those to you directly? Yeah, yeah. So we're going to have to get a PO box set up just because PayPal will shave off like 10% of the potato.

Oh, yeah. And I'm not letting someone else have 10% of my potato. What about NFT potatoes? So I've thought about it. Part of why I want potatoes as payment is it's a hedge against inflation. That's right. You know it. But I don't know about NFTs.

I don't think they're going to perform well in the long term. They kind of tangy sting, you know, when you eat them raw. Yeah, yeah, exactly. I mean, they're even better rotten. That's what I'm trying to tell people because I don't think that's accurate. Kintara Bella says they just killed the Daily Wire live stream I don't know if that's true I don't know either

some people are pointing out that when we brought up World Trade Center 7 the stream cut out and then skipped it always happens at these particular moments in the show my show is never skipped except for when I talk about Hillary Clinton

I don't actually think that's My show is never skipped except for when I talk about Hillary Clinton. And I don't actually think that's legit. It's just really weird that it does. I have been to these live streaming headquarters for a bunch of different companies. They have people who have big monitors and they can see like 100 live streams all at once. No way. And then they're watching each going. And when they see someone start to do something, they drag it and drop it into a watch

list. Are you serious? Yeah. Literal watch list. Typically what they're doing is looking for cam girls and so as soon as they see someone start to do something, they put them on a watch list, pay more attention to it, and then as soon as they see it get close, they nuke it. I don't know if they can do that for

a lot of YouTube stuff i do believe they probably have someone watching this show every night like this show probably watching crowder fan lucky yeah yeah leave a comment if you're watching hey if you work at youtube if you if you work youtube and you're watching this go to freedom tunes.com i know you're making enough money to subscribe at the highest level. Please do so. All right. Oh, hell no, says Depp originally lost $7 million, and now he wins $15 million, but only gets $10.35 million.

But she wins $2 million in her suit. So in the end, Depp only came out $1.35 million on top, but still has all his lawyer fees. All right. To be fair, he got out of doing the Harry Potter movie, too. That's fair. And so the judge actually ordered him to pay Amber Heard over that. He's right, to be fair, he got out of doing the Harry Potter movie too. That's fair. And so the judge actually ordered him to pay Amber Heard over that. He's like, to be fair, you weren't.

Your career was saved, actually. That was actually, they said they should have just had her pay the seven million he paid in his divorce settlement back to him if they wanted it to be poetic. I'm not seeing anything about Daily Wire streaming and pulled down.

It's up now. They finished it. It was an hour and a half long, although it did end about an hour in. Then they go to some pre-record. All right. Seve Rose says, why would you share a Pornhub premium link unless you knew the recipient also did? Yeah, they both have to have

premium. Imagine Hunter's like, he's like, hey, Dad, what's going on, son? You got to see this porn. Man, I'm going to send it to you. He's like, great, thanks. Even they don't want to pay for ads. That's how bad it is. That's great. All right.

Darian says, this behavior is endemic of every facet of power. The Bidens are nothing new. They're simply an example that we need new blood in Congress. Anyone can throw their hat in. Let me be an example of that. Wish us luck here in California. Well, good luck, good sir. Chance Bell says,

do you guys think it'd be possible to get Maxime Bernier on the show? Maxime Bernier? Bernier. He's the leader of the PPC up in Canada, our growing populist party. He deserves more exposure if we're going to survive the socialist hellhole.

Love you, Ian. I love you too, man. Yeah, I'm down. I don't know. Didn't he have a bunch of stuff happen during the Freedom Convoy? Am I misremembering that? I don't know. He got jailed or got in trouble or something during the...

I think I remember chaos with him. He does have a standing invite from us. When I hit him up, he was so busy. There was no way he was going to be able to make it. But that race is over. So maybe, yeah, hopefully. Raymond G. Stanley Jr. says, step on snack and find out. Love him. We made step on snackack and find out. Love him.

We made Step on Snack and find out skateboards. And we have a whole bunch of them. And I don't even know what we're doing with them. We just have them. We should do a raffle or something. Yeah, okay. Yeah, we should do that. Alright. Hippie Kitty says, did Hunter send his dad the videos that he uploaded to Pornhub of himself?

That's what I was afraid of. Dad, look what I did. Oh, my gosh. Hey, Dad, be proud of me. Look what I did. That's mighty good, son. Oh, no. That's crazy.

Grinch. Joel Exelene says, Watch the video of Jeff Sessions slapping Biden's hand away when he reached for Jeff's granddaughter. I can't believe no one mentions that one. Jeff obviously knows what a creepy is. Incredible. Yeah, I think I remember that. I do remember that.

Creepy stuff, man. Yikes. Good for that guy, though. Adrian Contreras says, The Clintons. House Lannister rich, but everyone hates them. The Bidens. House Baratheon incompetent, but can still stir things up.

The Bushes. House Targaryen going extinct. Trump. House Stark fan favorite. Aha. But nobody likes that show anymore, so I don't know. Sir Lemon Grab says, with the culture divide,

it's like we are watching the left and liberals fighting over hand grenade and we are trying to stop them from pulling the pin. I know, that's why I'm like, dude, just go about your business. Make money. Speak up. Build culture. Focus on you. Do your thing, you know go about your business make money speak up build culture focus on you do your thing you know mike ross says the hoops you have to jump through to share a cell phone number is a

bit wild i manage a 1.6 i manage a 1.6 billion dollar company's network and phone plan is not normal wow i can't think of a single like a single example in history of like somebody like having the same phone number as somebody else like on purpose well i can't think there's any reason why why you would either right it doesn't make any sense yeah i think tim is right i think that's totally cover for joe working as hunter really interesting yep it's a text from it's hunter's phone but joe's the one sending the messages. Yeah. All right. Ann Phillips says, new commercial. Kid dreams about high gas prices, immigrants taking jobs, then wakes up asking if Joe Biden is still president.

No, no, no, no, no. Here's the new commercial. It's the exact same commercial, but that guy's truck immediately breaks down because he's out of gas. Can't afford diesel. And then it's like, Biden, a better America. That's right. The children wake up like, Biden, a better America. That's right. The children wake up like, thank goodness. The kids are running.

The car breaks down. And the kids stop running. And they're like, we're safe. And then Joe walks up and he's like, thank me, kids. I'm the one who made. And the guy gets out of the truck and he goes, curse you, Joe. You know what I think would be a hilarious political ad, if we have time for it or just right now is a exact same ad of some congressman a is a lifelong nra supporter he's endorsed by donald trump and supported all

of donald trump's policy he wants to build a wall on our southern border and supports the overturning of roe versus wade have that be an actual commercial. Then do the same exact copy with a minor tone key in it. Congressman A is a Donald Trump supporter. He wants to build a wall on our southern border and end Roe versus Wade. That is hilarious. You know, a while ago, I can't remember if it was Vice or Vox, but there was a mini documentary on this fellow who was 3D printing firearms. All they did is they took footage of him

in an interview where he was speaking to them, and he was just speaking reasonably about the fact that because of 3D printing technology, it's going to be difficult to regulate guns, and Americans have a right to keep and bear an arm, but they played scary-sounding music underneath it.

So I was like, oh, he's bad. That's my favorite. And they turn up the shadows and make the side of your face look darker. Why don't you take a Joe Biden ad or a Democrat ad and then just redub it in a minor key with a low voice? That'd be fun.

It's a guy's like, I want to forgive student loan. John Smith wants to forgive student loan debt and help Americans find a, you know, help immigrants find a better path. John Smith wants to pay off college debt. Joe Biden protects children by trying to detect if there are harmful chemicals in their hair. That's right. Checking for brain. That's a good one.

You should make a compilation of all the sniffing. Oh, my goodness. Oh, you know what? No, no, no. Actually, actually, here's a good one you should make a compilation of all the sniffing oh my goodness oh you know no no actually actually here's a here's a good bit it's um biden gets word that uh you know china or russia russia's better better country has uh tainted shampoo and they're like mr president russia has sent tainted shampoo to this country children's shampoo. How are we going to be able to find out which kids were affected by it? It's like, I'll do what I have to for the children in this country. I'll sniff all of them, man. I'll sniff all of them.

Or actually, it might be funnier if Joe Biden claims that. He's like, I got a report. You know, Russia's tainted children's shampoos. I'm going to have to sniff these kids just to make sure, you know. There's only one way to make sure, man. I don't know if that's true, Mr. President. Don't you doubt me. Mr. Biden, we can hire people for that.

He's like, I'll do it myself. I'll do it myself. Your impersonation of Biden is awfully well-equipped cognitively. Yeah. That's a good point. Proto says, in ancient Sparta, public officials held their posts for one year, at the end of which they were immediately put on trial. Let's try that.

That's a great idea. Brutal. What did you do, Mark? Because they knew. They're like, look, there's no way you can be a politician for a year and not commit a crime. That's right. Look at Illinois' governors. Yep. Andrew Biko says, what are your thoughts on an American citizen's right to an offensive attorney?

Would this provide the middle class with the ability to level the playing field? However, new issues may arise from it. I don't know how we do that. That stuff, like, public defenders are bad enough. Like, public defenders are usually, they walk in, they're like, plead guilty. And you're like, but I didn't do it. Plead guilty.

You're like, they have no evidence I did anything. Plead guilty. And where do you draw the line? Like, can you just sue anybody for anything as long as the taxpayer is paying for it? You can, yeah, right? By offensive lawyer, do you mean like a lawyer can can you just sue anybody for anything as long as the taxpayer is paying for it you can yeah right by offensive lawyer they mean like a lawyer is not gonna use your pronouns yeah i'm triggered ashley hayes says taking tim's perspective yesterday we need stickers praising joe biden for defeating climate change any ideas on something

catchy defeat you know i don't know like how about big stickers with really verbose memes that are just impossible to read explaining yeah like a leftist meme like you need to understand that the goal here with the with the restrictions on gas prices was to make sure that carbon emissions would be reduced and then people are gonna be like what yeah that's a leftist meme ratsu says my daughter was just born 525 today what did i miss happy birthday my love niyasa west congrats congratulations i and i's g says here's an idea keep the two four-year terms but they can't be back-to-back and no running for re-election while president that's a good one interesting why is that better than one six years because they can't campaign while they're in office yeah they have to be out

of office yeah so they're not going to run for re-election so they'll campaign in the middle of the next person's election so you're gonna have you're gonna have ex-presidents sucking up a lot of attention i like the six doing now yeah like obama's matter or jimmy carter i mean like some of these guys don't i mean historically it's been kind of the the norm that the ex-president doesn't talk about the current president but that has been shattered so like I feel like that would be the issue. Rebecca Crane says, Got in late, but Tulsa had an active shooter at a hospital.

Democrats are going to go after guns even harder now. Yeah, it's really funny that the media is highlighting all of these stories now, isn't it, right before an election? Isn't that interesting? Some of them are obvious, like when the kids are getting shot at. I get it. But Chicago has this stuff happening all the time, and ain't nobody talking about it.

Prince Swigeta. Swigeta? To me, UBI means the government takes their grubby hands out of my pocket. I would never have financial problems again. There you go. People are mentioning Tulsa, man. It's crazy. Uncle Sam says, fact check, your Leschenko leaks war plans video is false.

Look at map. First Cav emblem top right u.s army unit that map is from 2014 he applied to be a fact checker for you i was in that unit uh oh that's a video from several months ago i don't know well i'll take a look at it i suppose leaks war plan video what they were saying was that this dude had a map of ukraine showing movements and they believed that it showed movements that had not yet happened yet i suppose he's saying this was from 2014 all right let's see

nsx says i'm about 50 minutes behind but sounds like you guys are getting a few facts wrong however you'll find out in coming days i'm sure and yes this was an awesome win clearly a hoax if you watch the trial. Interesting. All right. Lurch says, I'll never understand why people who lisp host podcasts. It's so annoying. Who lisps?

I don't know. Me. Me? Ian? I don't know. They're trying to gaslight us. They're trying to play with our reality. Oh, they're talking about Joe Biden.

Oh, I don't know. Come on, man. He's got a stutter. Yeah, that's right. Ethan Klein. A stutter that makes him say, being a poor kid precludes you from being a white kid. That's right.

One of those stutters. Rookav says, I agree with generic Luke. Who's that? Generic Luke? Is this Seamus? It might not be Seamus. One of us. I think Rookav says, I agree with Generic Luke. Who's that? Generic Luke. Is this Seamus? It's Luke. It might not be Seamus. One of us.

I think Luke will be back next week. He'll be here next week. I think so. And I'm really excited for when we show him little Luke, the rooster, the cockerel. Oh, yeah. So we got a Polish chicken. It's a cockerel, so he's going to be a rooster. And he's got big, bushy, blonde hair because the Polish ones have, like, big hair.

And he's got a big nose. And he's blonde. And he's Polish. So we were like, well, he's got big bushy blonde hair because the polish ones have like big hair and he's got a big nose and he's blonde and he's polish so we were like well he's a little luke and then you know luke's the one who said he's got my nose that's right like he does we just called him luke because he was blonde and polish and he had like a little haircut kind of like he looked angry because they sound kind of similar yeah they do yeah that's true. 9-11. Wolf Rick is going to say and believe 9-11 is going to be said. That's the best Luke impression I've ever heard. You want to talk about 9-11? Yeah, that's a good one.

9-11. Wolf Rick of Wessex says the Democrats are going to try and push Gavin Newsom as the frontrunner. Maybe not this cycle, but certainly by 2028. That's what you're saying. The plastic man? There is no person in this country that wanted donald trump to win more than gavin newsom interesting in 2020 i can go into that if you want but that's that's that's my theory interesting well because gavin wants to run for president oh yeah that was his best

option trump were to win he would run in 2024 as a sitting governor now he's like as plastic as plastic i'm not saying he's gonna be good at it i'm not saying he's going to be good at it i'm just saying he wants to do that and i'm sorry he's he's b-tier yeah he comes off like a generic politician yeah again i'm not saying he's good at that's just him that his trajectory had donald trump winning and it got screwed up he's one of those guys that does this when he talks yeah i think him and mitt romney were actually made at the same factory. Yeah, Trudeau's factory, for sure. Mark H. says, recently a man opened fire on a graduation party in Charleston, West Virginia with an AR-15.

That's correct. A woman with a carry permit took her handgun out and killed the suspect, but you don't need a carry permit in West Virginia. So I'm not sure if she actually had one, but maybe she did, but you don't need one anyway. It's a constitutional carry state. Well, they said Charleston. They may be talking about South Carolina. one, but maybe she did. But you don't need one anyway. It's a constitutional carry state. Well, they said Charleston. They may be talking about South Carolina. No, it's West Virginia.

Oh, is that what it said? Okay. Well, we know the story. We talked about it. Okay. I just want to say that the Supreme Court is currently going over a court case related to guns, and I'm just crossing my fingers for a broad ruling that basically says constitutional carry nation what? Maybe.

I don't know. Crossing my fingers, yeah. The thing is in New York, they're trying to ban body armor and long guns. It's like basically ban everything. And I don't know where they're at with that right now, but there's a lawsuit because in New York, you can't get a gun.

You can file for one, and they tell us why you need it, and you're like, it's my right. Too bad, and they throw it in the garbage. You don't get it. So they sued. The Supreme Court's reviewing this. It's possible they do a broad ruling and say states cannot require a permit for owning a gun.

What do you think the odds are? For carrying one. I don't know. I don't know about that one. I think low probably because even Scalia said Second Amendment is not absolute, which is just ridiculous. Like we know exactly what kind of weapons they had back then. that Second Amendment is not absolute, which is just ridiculous. We know exactly what kind of weapons they had back then. We knew about the advancements in weaponry.

The Founding Fathers knew it. If you want to amend Second Amendment because of the advancement of weaponry, by all means, let's have that conversation. But just to come out and be like, we've decided that weapons are too powerful, so your rights are gone. I'm like, mm-hmm. That doesn't sound right.

Yeah. That's what they're saying. Well, the Founders didn't know about the internet and the internet's changed everything. Don't care. You've got to change the Constitution and adapt to these things. You can't just ignore it.

That's where we're at, though. Darth Professor says, great conversation, everyone. My concern about the upcoming election is the Dems will do the same thing as they did in 2020. Dems have tripled down on their agenda. Bill Clinton changed course,

even Obama, to keep people on the Dem side of popularity. We'll see, I suppose. I think so. Let's see. Arthamesia. I covered the Tulsa shooting at St. Francis. I was the first to break the news. My wife is a nurse there and was in lockdown.

My kids were at the daycare there. I got them 10 minutes before it started. Wow. Crazy. Scary. Oh, my gosh. Crazy. Scary. Man. Iron Lord Oni. The young girl shooting the two guns have a YouTube channel called Autumn's Armory. She's awesome.

Check her out. Oh, there you go. Crandall Logan. You can only have an opinion and make laws on certain guns if you currently own and practice with that type of gun. And you can only have an opinion and make laws on background checks if you have passed a NICS background check. I love when Beto was like, you know, people shouldn't be allowed to have AR-15s and AK-47s. I wish I was there and I'd be like, Mr. O'Rourke, what about a SCAR-20S?

Well, that too. Mr. O'Rourke, what about an M1A? Well, that too. What about literally any other rifle? All of them. Mr. O'Rourke, what about an M1A? No, well, that's it. What about literally any other rifle? All of them. Robert. It's like, we're going to ban this one gun. Robert.

That's not even your real name. That's right. Beto. Dragon Stallion. Or Stallon. Oh, Dragon Stallon. There we go. Lydia.

Fifth graders learn to shoot guns by using school gym as target range. Wyoming. Idaho State's mid-paper. Yeah, but that was Airsoft. Still. I was shocked and offended. I said, those kids should not be using those weapons. Right, yeah.

They should be outside with Ruger 10-22s. Of course, yeah. I agree. Airsoft. No, I mean, to be completely honest, like, Airsoft for kids to start training is probably a good way to start. Yeah, I learned, I started learning to shoot I think when I was about seven with BB guns. Then we gradually went up from there

and it's worked great. A little safer. Clint Torres says, Brett, hey bro, sorry I couldn't make your last episode, but good thing I never missed him. Well, there you go. Thank you.

Rage 8 says, what did Michael Malice say about cops killing kids? Arm our teachers, bring back marksmanship in schools, and issue every citizen a free firearm.

I'm not sure I want to give groomers guns. I don't know about that one. No, not all teachers should have guns. Maybe age 25 people could apply to get a rifle or something like that. Well, what do you mean? Government-issued rifle. 16. That's so young.

Well, we drive cars at 16. That's also young. Very dangerous, yeah. So if you pass firearm ed, you get your license. You go to school. They have elective. You can or you don't. I didn't do driver's ed. I just turned 18 and went and got my license. It took me like an hour. So then if you don't do that when you're 18, you can go in and

fill out a general knowledge question. You know, like you got to know how to load it. You got to know where the safety is. You got to know how to point. They'll ask you basic questions like what are the four basic rules? And then you get your government issued air. The best argument against this, I'm somewhat kidding, by the way, but they were like, government subsidizing weapons will drive the price up to ridiculous numbers and make it hard for people to buy.

They'll be like, yeah, no, if the government promises everyone a free gun, there will be a gun shortage in like two weeks. There you go. Spirofloropolis says, according to sources say.online, Ian has created a lover from graphene, lol. So I recently got this, I got an ad on Facebook for an AI text generator, and it's marketed as a tool for helping you write,

whether it's news, product marketing, or blog posts. And so it's actually so much fun. I have an idea. I think we should do, we're going to do like a Chicken City cartoon. I wrote, I put the inputs in. It was like Ian, witch, cat, graphene, Federal Reserve. And it wrote two paragraphs about Ian being a scientist

who was trying to formulate graphene, but a witch came and like stole his banana or something. It was awesome. And I'm like, we should totally just do AI bits. What's this website called? I think it's called Jasper. Something like that. No, no, no.

Google AI text generator. And so you can write news stories. The crazy thing is it actually knows the news. And so I tested this out. Is that what it was called? Jasper.ai. Is that it? I typed in Joe Biden gas prices record levels, and then it wrote two paragraphs of a news story,

and it was like gas prices have reached a new record level under the presidency of Joe Biden, blah, blah, blah. And I was like, whoa. Yeah, at the very least, this is the narration that would play over like a funny thing, a funny skit. Sometimes you can't really use it. I mean, it's funny. It's a gag, but I'm surprised that anyone would actually use it as a product.

Right. It's good, like, inspiration if you want to write something about these topics. This can give you like, oh, okay. Right, exactly. That's the only thing it really is like a muse because you can do creative story, and that's what I did for the Ian Graffine thing,

but, like, you can't continue the story so it'll write you a paragraph or two paragraphs and then you can't continue the story because if you put in new inputs based on the old paragraph it creates a different story i mean it's interesting yeah well joe biden's using it to write his speeches kamala harris's kamala harris is an earpiece and it's an auto AI generator and she's just like, the dog went to the store and Ukraine's small and I'm the president. And they're like,

what is she saying? Then he gets confused and she laughs. Yeah. Let's grab some more super chats. Duder says, Hunter and Joe shared bank accounts.

So why would they need 10% for the big guy? Because the big guy is Obama. Whoa. Whoa! Everybody whoaed at the same time. Blew our minds with that one. The big guy is Obama. Well, it definitely blew my mind that Hunter could be Joe. Listen here, Joe. You're going to cut me in on this deal

or I'm going to beat you mercilessly. I will tell on you. I'll tell on you if you don't cut me in the deal. These are both actually very impressive. Thank you. I will mercilessly. I will tell on you. I'll tell on you if you don't cut me the deal. These are both actually very impressive. Thank you. I will mercilessly beat you. Joe, I will beat you with a two-by-four until you are no longer able to form a coherent sentence. And Joe didn't pay him, and that's what happened.

That's what happened. Andrew Gerasimenko, the dual-wielding seven-year-old has a youtube channel called autumn's armory you guys check her out yes yes absolutely all right we can grab a couple more here reggae vibe says i like to tell biden supporters don't you wish you voted for vermin supreme you'd have gotten no trump and he would have taken our guns and given us better ones we all would have won free pony pony.
