Starting point is 00:00:00 So I'm calling shenanigans. They still haven't called the race for Carrie Lake. Yo, last night we were waiting for the primary results out of Arizona. You guys know that we've had Carrie Lake on the show several times. She's amazing. And I saw the polling results as they were coming in, and I was shocked to see that Carrie Lake was down in the polls. I was like, how is this possible?
Starting point is 00:00:20 Everybody was like, nah, she's going to win, she's going to win. And then I was like, well, what can you do? Go to bed, wake up, boom, Carrie Lake in the lead, 80% reporting. And Carrie Lake and her team, they've declared victory. Now, analysts are saying in all likelihood, it really does seem like she can't lose. She's up around 11,000 or so votes. And it looks like the remaining votes that are going to come in aren't going to poll enough for her opponent to win.
Starting point is 00:00:45 But something strange is happening with how it's being handled. And there is an interesting solution to this conundrum. Democrats have reportedly been crossing over and voting in the GOP primary. When you look at the results right now, you can see Maricopa is against Kerry, or I should say it's for Robson, her opponent. And that's the dense Democrat area. If they're coming out and voting in the GOP primary, that's what you would see. So we'll talk about that. We'll talk about what's going on and why they haven't called the race yet for Kerry Lake.
Starting point is 00:01:20 And then we got, I guess, in international news, Russia says they're going to join China if a war breaks out between China and the U.S. over Taiwan. China's going to be firing missiles over Taiwan the first time ever and surrounding it with live fire drills and military ships. You know, I really do think that it's possible. I think it's probable Nancy Pelosi went to Taiwan because they expect Taiwan to fall and fall soon. So we'll talk about that before we get started.

Starting point is 00:02:59 Happy to be here. Lydia is not with us today because she's on vacation. And I'm Chris. Filling in for Lydia. Nice jacket. That was the fastest we Filling in for Lydia. Nice jacket. That was the fastest we've ever done in introductions on this show. I just want to talk about Nancy Pelosi. Oh, Nancy Pelosi. No, we're going to talk about Carrie Lake first.
Starting point is 00:03:13 Oh, good. Oh, good. All right. We have this story from Axios Phoenix. Lake declares victory in Arizona GOP primary, says outstanding ballots will favor her. With at least 150,000 votes left to count, Carrie Lake declared victory Wednesday in the Republican primary for governor, while rival Karen Taylor Robson stayed mum throughout the day.
Starting point is 00:03:34 Lake led Robson by less than two percentage points as of Wednesday morning, but the remaining ballots, which are largely early ballots that were dropped off at polling places on election day, are expected to expand her lead. OK, I say the AP hasn't called the race yet, but look, even though they're early ballots that were dropped off at polling places on Election Day are expected to expand her lead. OK, I say the AP hasn't called the race yet. But look, even though they're early ballots, they're still saying it's likely going to be for Carrie Lake. But let me show you this. Let me see if I have the maps here. Check this out.
Starting point is 00:03:56 Did we just get an update? I think we just got an update. Literally. No, that's still 80 percent. It's been 80 percent. Oh, OK. New York Times. They've been calling it 80 percent all day.
Starting point is 00:04:04 Yeah. Take a look at this. Right here we can see Taylor Robson in Maricopa. She's got it, but the rest of the state is for Carrie Lake. How is it this close? I think there's a simple answer. Democrats are voting as Republicans in the Republican primary. I think that's certainly possible.
Starting point is 00:04:23 I mean, why not do a crossover? But then they're not going to be able to vote democrat in the democratic primary the democratic primary was today too and if you scroll up if you look at the democrat primary um what was it katie hobbs yeah katie hobbs had all of the state except for was it santa cruz county there at the bottom santa cruz county yeah that's it so it's not like there was a big contentious race on the Democrat side. So if you were going to, yeah. It's a question of like,
Starting point is 00:04:51 if they think it's more effective to try and put a more extreme candidate in office, we've all talked about this, they think that they can beat Carrie Lake later. You know, it's a better gamble to vote in the Republican primary i guess i mean not all states have open primaries like this and some if you're registered as a democrat you can only participate in the democratic primary that's true in new york yeah it's true new york it's true in
Starting point is 00:05:14 connecticut nevada i think is changing this law and the idea because they're talking about like a rank choice and rank choice voting yeah we have rank choice voting in New York, in New York City, but you can still only vote in your designated party primary. Oh, interesting. With these people, if they now, like, are they still registered Democrat while they're voting in the Republican primary? No, you have to change your registration, most likely. Can they do that, like, and then the next day change it back? Or are they stuck for a year as, like, a Republican now? I don't know what the rules are about registering.
Starting point is 00:05:50 That's like such local stuff. I don't know. Yeah, there's a variety. Some places you have to be registered for a certain period of time prior to. Like before you know who the candidates are? No, they've known who the candidates are for a long time. Carrie Lake was running for governor starting in January. So I think you probably could have changed it before. It's an open primary. Oh, it's an open primary. So even if they're registered as a Democrat, they can participate in the Republican primary. Wow. That's kind of
Starting point is 00:06:14 crazy. Maybe we shouldn't allow that. Yeah. I don't know that. Why would you have that? The argument against it is or the argument against it is typically that independents can't participate in the primary. So Nevada has a high proportion of independent voters, and they think leaving the closed primary system would be better because they would be able to participate in narrowing down the candidates earlier on. Take a look at this. Over at the New York Times article, you can see 482,113 votes in the Democratic primary, 637,210 in the Republican Party. But for some reason reason it's the maricopa area that's gone for karen taylor robson and not carrie lake maybe it's crossover i'm not entirely convinced it may just be
Starting point is 00:06:55 moderate leaning republicans are like we don't want the manga stuff so that's probably true yeah right in the cities they're more true as moderates I mean, but are these people going to come out for pence? Isn't he talking about making a run now? I don't know about that. He's the milkiest of the milquetoasts, you know. But I'll add this. If these numbers are correct and that it's 637,000 Republicans came out to vote, Democrats are in serious trouble. If it's true that Democrats switched over because we've seen that reported in other
Starting point is 00:07:26 instances, then Republicans are going to be blindsided. Because if how many how many of these would you need to take away? You take away 100,000 of these votes and then all of a sudden the Democrats are winning. Yeah. Or not quite. Or yeah, actually, yeah, they would be winning. I don't I don't believe that 100,000 people came out and were Democrats voting to sabotage Carrier Lake.
Starting point is 00:07:44 It's possible. I think it's probably just simply put urban conservative types are middle of the road. But I still find it hard to believe that. And we might have seen like the, you know, Arizona Democratic Party making the suggestion. People aren't good at keeping these kind of secrets. So if it
Starting point is 00:08:00 was a suggestion, we would have seen it on social media already. I mean, look, Meghan McCain's got fans and she was ripping into Carrie Lake. She was so mad about it. But the other thing is that I pulled the Real Clear Politics poll numbers. I mean, Carrie Lake has been popular. She has been leading the polls for several weeks at this point. So in some ways, you know, maybe people did cross over. And on the other hand, you would assume there'd be some indication that she is maybe more popular than Arizona is willing to admit to itself. Well, that makes sense.
Starting point is 00:08:25 I mean, if they're polling people, you get a phone call and you're like, who are you voting for? Someone who hates Carrie Lake is going to be like, not Carrie Lake, but someone who's crossing over to sabotage Carrie Lake will contribute to a vote against her. So, you know, if they get called up, it's a Democrat. Are you voting for Karen Taylor Robson? They're going to say, no way. But they do vote in the primary to sabotage Carrie Lake. Someone could be,
Starting point is 00:08:46 I'm a Democratic, registered Democrat, but I'm going to vote in the Republican primary for the crappier candidate and then I'm going to switch back and vote for the Democrat in general. But this is an open,
Starting point is 00:08:54 this is an open primary. Take a look at this story. So I guess, if it's an open primary, can you show up and say you want one ballot instead of another? Or is everybody
Starting point is 00:09:02 on the same ballot? I don't know. That would be weird. How would they prevent you from voting twice? It could explain why a bunch of... Well, here's the other issue too. Now, this is the weird thing. People are pointing out,
Starting point is 00:09:14 like it's very strange that Carrie Lake was doing so well in the polls. What about every other candidate in Arizona? Look at this, Blake Masters wins swimmingly. So all of these trump endorsed candidates sweep through with no questions but then carrie lake is and it's not just about arizona it's like all these states gibbs in michigan i think it's michigan right trump endorsed wins with the help from democrats mind a lot of help from democrats that was so weird that was so interesting because
Starting point is 00:09:42 they were american putting in money democrats were putting money in to get Gibbs the victory there. And this is the strategy. This is a strategy I was listening to this podcast today, the New York Times podcast, actually, about how Claire McCaskill was the one who really pioneered this strategy of essentially picking the candidate that she wanted to run against and then putting like putting up ads that made that candidate popular to the far right so she looked at the spate of candidates in missouri um decided that she wanted to run against this one guy who seemed crazy who eventually ended
Starting point is 00:10:20 up being the one who said that if a woman is raped, she can shut that down and then not get pregnant. Remember that guy? Yeah. The body has a way of shutting that down. Right. Because, of course. Sure. Every woman knows that.
Starting point is 00:10:32 You've got like a trap door. A trap door. This is basic human biology. I don't know what you guys are talking about. You've seen Star Wars, you know. Guys, you know, for some guys. Those medieval monks were correct with the teeth. You know, you can shut it down.
Starting point is 00:10:46 Is that what they said? Sorry. You remember the medieval monks? Yes, I remember. Yeah. Yeah. Sounds awesome. You guys, we were in a different health lesson, I think.
Starting point is 00:10:53 Separated by gender. I did see that movie, Teeth. Oh, God, no. Have you ever seen it? Actually, in a play that I wrote this one time, one of the characters said. How are we talking about this now? Anyway, this character... Carrie Lake made us do this.
Starting point is 00:11:06 This one character, she said, if I had teeth down there, I'd have bit his hand off. There's a movie called Teeth. Anyway, pleased me. And this woman goes to the doctor, to the gyno, and he's like,
Starting point is 00:11:17 let me just check you up. And then his hand gets mutilated and he's like, vagina dentata. And then she's like... yeah, that's the movie. It's like, I guess, a horror movie. I had a friend who was obsessed with that. And he also would.
Starting point is 00:11:31 That's a totally different story. Anyways, it was Claire McCaskill. She went with this thing. And she was running ads that was like, this person is really oppressive. And she made him really popular to the far right. And that is a strategy that they used to pump Gibbs. And also, we all remember when Trump was running against Hillary Clinton
Starting point is 00:11:52 and everyone was like, oh, it'll be great if Trump gets the GOP nomination because Hillary Clinton will have no trouble beating him. You know, this is a stupid maneuver, guys. You know, like, go with your values. Maybe try and run people you believe in who you think would be positive and good leaders for our country. Absolutely not. No, that's against the rules.
Starting point is 00:12:14 November of 2016, one of the greatest years ever, was just seeing the establishment have everything implode. The panic, the crying. It was insane. It was like schadenfreude but just like uh like the most dense hyper concentrated straight into the vein intravenous schadenfreude watching all these people lose their minds i will say i was one of the sad people and i I went to Whole Foods. No, I went to Fairway.
Starting point is 00:12:52 I went to Fairway in Brooklyn the next day, which is this like extremely yuppie grocery store. And there were people crying, like sobbing as they were picking out their frozen vegan waffles. And then Sweet Home Alabama came on like over the PA system. And this older woman walked up to like one of the people who worked there and said now I really think this is in very poor taste can we at least change this my stepmom has a story about dropping her kids off at Montessori like school or whatever and these moms sobbing and one is like does someone have a snack to give to Jim like I didn't I couldn't pack one this morning you're like girl get together it feels like you know that you can still feed your kids but i remember people calling out of work with with like sadness just calling out i mean going into morning it was crazy but i remember watching
Starting point is 00:13:34 this yeah yeah it was wild to come in and realize what was going on yeah cassandra was crying but for the other she was yeah tears of joy joy so you know i was hanging out with her and it's just it's it's fun to reminisce about some of the greatest days in human history right but um november 2nd 2016 it's one of those it was the 11th no it's the 9th it was the 9th what when they what do you mean november 9th is when trump won was that when it was wasn't why do i think it was the it was early november we can agree it was before the 15th. It was a cold day in hell. November 8th. 8th? There we go.
Starting point is 00:14:06 November 8th. Everybody's wrong. I'm happy. No, but the 9th was when they called it for him. The 9th is when he was in a facial. They did declare after midnight, so Tim is technically correct here. It was like 2 a.m. I'm talking about everybody crying.
Starting point is 00:14:17 It was November 9th. It's the greatest day. Everyone was crying on the 9th. Okay, so I'll take technically correct. But it reminds me of that meme where the two women go like, and the guy just goes, yeah. You know that one I'm talking about? There's like two women and they look at something and they're like shocked and the guy just starts laughing and smiling.
Starting point is 00:14:31 That's what it was like. I didn't vote for him, but it was just like to see Hillary Clinton just see everything that she's ever wanted taken from her. And she's just an awful person. It was wild. It was so amazing. It was euphoria, you know? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:45 It was totally crazy i remember how many people around me were just like it was completely divided is what i remember even people who weren't that political were suddenly like i don't know what's gonna happen to the country and the people i had no idea were in any way interested in politics also being like this is the best thing ever like well so i had no idea so bringing it back to where we are now with, you know, like Carrie Lake and all that stuff. Now I'm just like, OK, look, you know, I voted for Trump in 2020. I think school choice was really, really important. He was all about it. And looking now at Arizona with Carrie Lake, the possibility is that the whole system is
Starting point is 00:15:18 just is completely imploded. I mean, like Democrats. So look, the Atlanta Journal Constitution wrote Democrats are voting in GOP primaries. Say it's all about Donald Trump. This article talks about how was it 16,000 voters who chose Democratic ballots were among the 237 who voted in the GOP primary. Now it's possible, I argued, they just switched parties. They've abandoned the Democrats. That's a reality, right? Maybe what we're seeing in Arizona is that tons of Democrats are like, I don't want the Democrats. I don't want the MAGA. And so there are, they are legitimately trying to vote Republican. And it's just, it's left more left-leaning people joining the Republican party. The same time
Starting point is 00:15:56 Democrats are funding Trump supported Trump endorsed candidates. So the democratic officials are, are, are propping up Trump's endorsed candidates while the voters are voting for the other moderate Republican candidate or whatever they want to call him. It's just the whole system is busted. Oh, we watched it. No, go ahead. Oh, it's just like Larry Hogan got really mad about this, too. He was like, Democrats are funding. It was like, what, one point? It was like over a million dollars. Like 1.2 million or something.
Starting point is 00:16:23 Right. And they got funded in. And and he was like this is democrat interference in our election like this this is not good and i don't think that it matters to them like even if this strategy is you could argue what got donald trump elected which i don't think it is but it played a role in some part in some ways it's not working for them i don't understand why you would keep doing it well we did watch them change the rules right like it was after the 2016 election and we watched everyone freak out because trump had won and decide that this was a huge crisis and that now it didn't matter what you had what what you did so long as you were resisting remember resist and it was like i remember watching that and i was like resist what though you guys like what is it that we are going to resist irrelevant or like with obama change well what do you want
Starting point is 00:17:09 to change really and what do you want to change it to like define your terms so that we can actually talk about what's going on but with the whole resist thing it was anything trump anything trump did was completely wrong and had to be stopped at all costs. Remember that? And they proceeded that way through now. I had friends tell me that using like violent fascist tendencies against your enemy, Trump for whatever, was fine. I'm like, dude, that's insane. You cannot take on evil and become evil to destroy evil.
Starting point is 00:17:40 You're just creating more of it. But that's the decision that was made, was that this is a crisis. Rules don't matter common decency doesn't matter we have to give up every the ways that we've behaved up to this point you know that was what they did i'm just so tired of you know all the people that cried when donald trump won those the people that i'm i'm just i i am sick of and and and you know like tucker carlson pointed out when when i think think it was Ben Smith asked if he was racist. That was a great interview.
Starting point is 00:18:06 Yeah. He was like, the people that I don't like are like middle aged white liberal women. He's like blamed them for everything. Yeah. It's like, that's the one matter. It's not race. They are an overwhelming majority, an overwhelmingly large block of Democrat voters. So you look at this group, they're crying. They have no idea what they're crying about.
Starting point is 00:18:26 Oh, the mean man said naughty words. Dude, when you've got murderous dictators, communist regimes, outright fascists, they call Trump a fascist, but come on, he's not. And they're actually threatening us. You might want the potty mouth bully guy to go in there and, you know, shove someone around and be like, back off. That was a thing I liked about Trump. You know, Trump is,
Starting point is 00:18:46 as I've said before, he's the crazy guy on a corner with a knife. You stay away from him. You keep your distance. Your house never gets robbed. It's okay. It's like all of the buildings
Starting point is 00:18:55 on the street are just like vandalized and looted. But there's one really nice one. Yours is fine. And they're just like, how come no one's robbing this building? It was a crazy guy on the corner with a knife.
Starting point is 00:19:04 I just keep feeding him steaks. It's fine. It works out. One way to keep him out's robbing this building? It was a crazy guy on the corner with a knife. I just keep feeding him steaks. It's fine. It works out. One way to keep on. Like when he said he was going to nuke Beijing or Moscow. Do you remember that? And nobody. And you don't know.
Starting point is 00:19:12 He might. He just might. That's the thing with Biden now, right? Like Biden is a dotty old man. And you have absolutely no confidence that he's going to do anything other than the most moderate conciliatory weak ass move. Yeah, I think he'll just be totally in line. I mean, I don't mean to king while he's down, but like this guy got COVID after just getting COVID. I don't really think that he doesn't know
Starting point is 00:19:36 he's down. He's like signing executive orders while locked in his bedroom. He's grounded. Like I don't know that uh sometimes when we talk about biden like will he run for re-election what i actually think has happened is he's going to forget that he was told he wasn't so he's going to announce that he is they're not going to have to be like he said that he was going to he's going to forget that he's president and there's going to be like remember when he announced he was running for the senate while he was running for president yeah and hasn't he called both hasn't he called jill biden or his wife the president at one point several times he kept calling her the president at one point? Kamala Harris.
Starting point is 00:20:05 Yeah, several times. He kept calling her the president. Several times. And he introduced his sister as his wife. Yeah. But the dude's got to be on some kind of pills.
Starting point is 00:20:13 Like, I bet they're giving him all this crazy IV therapy stuff. They're putting him in hyperbaric, like, regeneration chambers. They're like, we must. But what's going to happen is come 2024,
Starting point is 00:20:22 he's going to be like, what am I doing? And they're like, you're retired. He's like, oh. And then they're going to walk up, be Buttigieg or Newsom and be happen is come 2024, he's going to be like, what am I doing? And they're like, you're retired. It's like, oh. And then they're going to walk out Pete Buttigieg or Newsom and be like, come on, get in there. Right. And then they're going to, yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:31 Or AOC. Yeah, I hope so. I really hope it's AOC. She is so dumb, though, you guys. I mean. Maybe ignorant. Libby's letting us in on a secret. I don't think that she's ignorant.
Starting point is 00:20:43 I think she's just not that bright. Really? Yeah. She strikes me as intelligent. Every time she speaks about things. What? She strikes you as intelligent? Have you ever watched her?
Starting point is 00:20:51 She puts her glasses on and she looks, she sits up straight. Like, it's a good move. Maybe it's more charisma than intelligence. She's got moxie. Yeah, moxie. She's so new. I mean, she says stuff that isn't true. That's right.
Starting point is 00:21:04 So that's more ignorance. Like, she doesn't know stuff. No, that's so new. I mean, she says stuff that isn't true. Like, that's right. So that's more ignorance. Like, if she doesn't know stuff. No, that's stupid. It is. I think it was at Seamus who said it was a total Chad move when she went on Colbert just made up stuff about the Civil War. It's crazy. I mean, that's that's ballsy.
Starting point is 00:21:16 You know, so the thing about AOC is that I kind of view her similarly, similarly to Trump and that it would be like chaotic for the deep state. And I'm down for that. It's not my preferred candidate. But if it was AOC versus Trump, I'm kind of like, whoever wins, the bureaucratic state is going to be crying into their pillow tonight. Who do you think would win? I think Trump would win.
Starting point is 00:21:36 You think Trump would win over AOC? I do think AOC is the Democrats' best choice, like their best bet. She's got name recognition. She's young. She's got 13 million followers. Not the most prominent. Particularly prominent. But Gavin Newsom, he's like plastic.
Starting point is 00:21:51 He's generic. One of the things they've been saying they don't want. He's just like an established white kind of... He's younger than, let's say, Bernie Sanders. But one thing he definitely has against him is a lot of data to back up why he sucks you know his schools are failing his state is failing he's an abortion sanctuary state he constantly brings back COVID regulations he's an immigrant um from where illegal immigrant oh sanctuary state right he's an immigrant no yeah I did but that's because i left out words in the got yeah yeah i understand um
Starting point is 00:22:26 he messed he like violated all his own covid restrictions remember those like no one's gonna forget those dinners at french laundry yeah come on guy really not wearing masks with his friends i think if aoc were to get elected, her whole thing is like attention, social media, saying whatever. It would be pure. It would be pandemonium. Just insanity in the White House. They would be coming to her being like, President Ocasio-Cortez, here's the documents on the latest problem that's happening in Afghanistan. And then she's going to say something totally unrelated or relevant. She's going to be like, you know, when we went into Afghanistan in 2005 in Desert Storm
Starting point is 00:23:08 the first time, you had Saddam Hussein who was working with ISIS. And, you know, that's why I don't think it's a good idea. And they're going to be like, she's just saying random things related to the Middle East. Either that or yeah, either that or she'll just be like, we can't go to war with that country because that would be racist. Wait, I'll take it. You know, it's like no more troops in the middle east because president aoc says it's settler colonialism i'll be like okay all right like no foreign incursions i don't care the reason i mean i am kind of worried about that at the federal level and then the weirdly
Starting point is 00:23:40 isolationist because she's like no we just have to leave everyone else alone. Then the first gentleman will be a guy with a page on Foot Wiki, right? The redhead dude? Yeah. Why, he does? Well, they, I don't know for sure,
Starting point is 00:23:52 but remember they were going after his feet when he wore sandals when they went to Florida to flout COVID restrictions and have a good time. Oh, wicked. And her response to that was,
Starting point is 00:24:00 you just want to date me? That was like her right? Yeah, that was her whole thing. And it was all like, and her boyfriend was sitting there with a gross seat. I'm just imagining she's like sitting down with Kim Jong-un. And he's like, you know, Kim Jong-un says something about we have to negotiate terms if I'm going to stop these nuclear tests.
Starting point is 00:24:15 And she goes, stop trying to date me, sir. And then he's just like, what do I say? It's almost as crazy as Trump. They're like, the Americans have put a crazy person in the White House again. We don't know what she wants. But they couldn't, they can't. Now we zag the other way with crazy. Like, it's a different kind of crazy.
Starting point is 00:24:31 They can't figure that one out either. I mean, that is kind of funny. It's like, Trump is aggressive, arrogant kind of crazy. And she's like, woman kind of crazy. Also arrogant kind of crazy. But like, the you want to date me line. It's like, Trump would never say something like that. Like, I don't think a dude would be like, Kim Jong like that you want to date me line it's like trump would never say something like that like i don't think a dude would be like kim jong-un was trying to
Starting point is 00:24:49 date me like he wouldn't say well i also think she knows like it's a very awkward thing for most men to respond to like they can say no but also like why are you making this about romance like we're professional rivals like we're in politics like why are you bringing this up? Like, it's very strange. Women can make everything about romance. That's a weird power. He said that girls wanted him to grab them by their genitals. Their hoo-hoos. Yeah, that was a little bit of like. That wasn't romantic, though.
Starting point is 00:25:14 Well, for guys it is. I think that's different. Yeah, I mean, it's a type of romance you could say. He only said that because he never heard about that. No, that's eros. Yeah, that's erotic. Uh-huh. Erotic as hell.
Starting point is 00:25:25 Mr. A-Type's love. It's love, you know? It's love. That's true. I highly, I would love to see Cortez over Trump because of the youth. It's the youth. Over Trump? Over Trump.
Starting point is 00:25:35 I can't take 80-year-olds in office anymore, man. I try not to be ageist, but I... It is really frustrating to see our parents, my parents' generation just refuse to give up power. You know, they're just sitting there on piles of cash and piles of power, and they refuse to clear the way for somebody new. And it's their fault. And all of the mess is their fault. And it's like, you know, we definitely need new people in Washington. This is one thing I like about DeSantis.
Starting point is 00:26:03 Like, he's young. He's like, you know, isn't he Gen X, basically? I don't know how young he is. I think he's like 45. He's like low end. Let's say at most 50, he's got young children. He has a young wife.
Starting point is 00:26:17 I said at most, like top end of the scale. He's got young children. She's 43. She's 44. You're the really young guy. He's like a year older than me. He's the same age as Ian? That's awesome. Wow.
Starting point is 00:26:29 Right? So let's go DeSantis over AOC if we could. I'd like to see the debate. I'll be honest. That's something to my, jury's out for me on that, but I would love to see those guys debate. A Trump AOC debate would be the funniest show I've ever seen. It would be so good.
Starting point is 00:26:43 And they'd keep doing them too. Excuse me, excuse me, young lady. No, no. Crazy AOC. And then she'd be like, Trump just likes me. He thinks I'm hot. It would just be the weirdest TV show ever.
Starting point is 00:26:53 And you'd just go, boo. Stephen Fry should be the moderator of that debate. That would be really funny. Can we make that happen? I think so. I want to reach out to AOC's people. Would you do a sit down with Donald Trump yeah
Starting point is 00:27:06 even if they're not running I'm going to make a vision board of Trump debating AOC and then we're going to try and make it happen just wish it into reality several years ago I was listening on Twitter
Starting point is 00:27:13 that was like after Trump is done with politics like he should just like when the next presidential debates happen he should just live stream him commenting on them because it's probably
Starting point is 00:27:22 more interesting because like him watching him debate is so bizarre like there's nothing that compares to it really bring aoc into it like we're sitting here talking about like how funny it would be for aoc to like debate or have like a show like be on a show with trump and then imagining how it would backfire and sort of backfire on us and that they end up agreeing on tons of populist positions and then like Trump runs with AOC as VP.
Starting point is 00:27:48 He's like, we're going to win everyone. She's like, I was wrong about this man. We're going to get the union working class manufacturing back. It'll never happen because it's not really the case, but I'm going to... It would be nice to get manufacturing back. Yeah. Yeah, I mean it was happening under Trump. I'll say this. I will
Starting point is 00:28:04 say with certainty, I believe Donald Trump would absolutely do a sit down with AOC. 100%. Probably. But I don't think AOC would do it. The ratings would be great. And he loves ratings, you know? Yeah, she had nothing to lose. She wouldn't do it.
Starting point is 00:28:18 That'd be a good combo. They don't even have to agree or disagree. They just talk about ideas. You don't think she'd do it? I don't think so. I think we should reach out. There's only one way for us to find out tim has to reach out i expect you to be on twitter tonight i mean you know we've got some of uh trump's like inner circle's been on the show yeah so we'll ask him because they've told us like you
Starting point is 00:28:39 know we could arrange a sit down with donald trump but it means we have to go to him and it certainly would not be a two and a half hour show. But that's, you know, I was saying like, we'll have Trump on as long as he wants to be on. It would be an honor and a privilege. And then just whenever he's done, we can shake his hand and say, thanks for coming. And then, you know, carry on with the show
Starting point is 00:28:55 like we do normally. We had Joe Rogan on the show. Joe Rogan did it. Yeah, for like an hour. He was on longer than I thought he was gonna. He said he could pop in for a few minutes. He hung out for like an hour. I'd be totally down.
Starting point is 00:29:04 I just, I mean, if it's up in New Jersey, I mean, maybe AOC could come down and do it. You know, maybe we do it at a venue or something where it's like kind of, you know, her security can bring her in and make sure she's safe and trumps people. I don't know if they, I don't know if he'd want to go to a venue though.
Starting point is 00:29:19 He'd be like, pull the chairs up to where I'm at. It would be the coolest thing in the world though, to be honest. Bring them here. It's a neutral ground. They can all have their security it'll be never gonna happen yes but i can dream he's got that golf course in new jersey doesn't he still that so this is what we were told is basically we'd have to go up to bedminster sure to uh if we were to do anything with trump and then like is aoc gonna drive down there or whatever it's like that's not that far
Starting point is 00:29:42 i mean i'll tell you i don't think uh aoc would do it the one person that i know would probably just say yes outright is vosh if if i if we hit him up we were like would you like to sit down with donald trump he would be like yes please he just and you know so i'll give him credit for be willing to do that despite the things we disagree on i don't think there's very many leftists at all that would actually sit down and have like a calm, reasoned debate. And, you know, what's crazy about that is that, I mean, Trump was an anti-war president. Right. Like the Democrats for a long time talked about being anti-war. It's clear that they're not, obviously, you know, as they court conflict with China and Russia at the same time, because that's apparently brilliant diplomacy um but yeah i don't so many of trump's positions
Starting point is 00:30:27 like well mostly just the anti-war one but that's a class position you can you can you can criticize him a lot for potty mouth stuff decorum whatever but his foreign policy stuff was the best i have ever seen in my lifetime i thought the bilateral agreement thing was smart. And I also, another leftist position of his or liberal position of his is to have union manufacturing in the US, to keep things local, to keep Americans employed, to keep ourselves self-sufficient. These used to be liberal positions. Yeah, yeah, they used to be. And then Donald Trump ran as a conservative.
Starting point is 00:31:02 He supported gay marriage before getting into office. And I think he broke the left because they were like, what do we campaign on now? He went middle of the road. Vox.com in 2015, I think it was 2015 or 16, said Donald Trump's a moderate. He's a moderate candidate. And that was really funny to see that
Starting point is 00:31:18 if you go back and look it up. Because I'm like, the media called him worse than Hitler. But back then they were like, he's a moderate. He was moderate in policy, but extreme in personality. And that was something they couldn't look past. because I'm like the media called him worse than Hitler. Yeah. But back then they were like he's a moderate. He was moderate in policy but extreme in personality and that was something they couldn't look past. Well, and really he's like sort of a working class hero. Their decision making is based on emotion. That's simply put.
Starting point is 00:31:39 So when Donald Trump gets up there and he goes, you know, like, oh, you know, fat pig or, you know, only Rosie O'Donnell. They're like, oh, and everyone else is just like, and a lot of people are just like, oh, geez. OK, but but do the right thing with with the border. OK, how about that? That's the thing, too, about Carrie Lake. I think you got she's even got Biden basically bending the knee onto this policy. Biden is going to be repairing gaps in the border in Yuma.
Starting point is 00:32:09 Look, man, that's why I'm like, why haven't they called it for Carrie Lake? Because if even Joe Biden agrees on the policy that the Arizona border is in trouble, Carrie Lake's whole thing is like, we got to fix the border. Or one of our big things. Well, Joe Biden just started rebuilding a border wall. Yeah, right. He's building a wall. But it was like they and what was it?
Starting point is 00:32:29 Crenge on Pierre was like, it's not Trump's border wall. We're just doing what's necessary. Oh, OK. But there was a building a wall. There was a Democrat. When you saw all the coverage of the Yuma stuff come out, at least that's my experience. It was saying, you know, this was a sector that had previous funding, but Joe Biden repealed it. Now he's going to fix these gaps. And basically, there was one, I can't remember his name, I'll have to look it up, a Democratic Arizona,
Starting point is 00:32:55 I think, congressman who was like, I just spoke to President Joe Biden about this two weeks ago, and we're really going to fix it now. And he is running for reelection right now. Like it is clear to everyone that the border is out of control. Yeah. Let's look, I want to jump to this Nancy Pelosi foreign policy stuff, but you know, cause I was just thinking we have this story from news week, Russia blasts provocative Pelosi and vows to back China. You even had a lawmaker in Russia say that if world war three breaks out, they're going to nuke London right away. And I'm just thinking about with all this talk of President AOC, I wonder what China and Russia are thinking. Because in all seriousness, you know, they're looking at their calendars thinking, what's going to happen come 2025 when a new administration enters? What opportunities do
Starting point is 00:33:41 we lose? What opportunities do we gain? What must we we do now i'll tell you what they're all thinking the government of russia and china what they're begging and hoping for the united states would fight itself that's what they want that's right well we're doing a good job of that that's the only way we could lose in this situation if we fight ourselves well no yeah a lot of ways we could lose actually but one way more than 27 likely of a loss would be because of an internal conflict if so i think if donald trump wins in 2024 china is worried about that because they're they're gutting our economy they're they're extracting our resources and our jobs russia is excited about it because donald trump does not want this this psychotic american
Starting point is 00:34:21 empire bs happening in the middle east and russia's like good for us it's probably why they backed off from Ukraine, because they felt like they weren't being threatened by this expansionist, you know, uniparty Democrat-Republican garbage. But China would probably freak out. But I'm wondering if, like, let's say the polls are wrong. Let's say the Democrats are voting in the Republican primary, and so there's more Democrats voting, and then AOC gets elected.
Starting point is 00:34:44 Maybe not even AOC because that's very silly. Right. But Elizabeth Warren. Who do we like? No, I just feel like there's only one president, I think, out of anyone,
Starting point is 00:34:56 out of, name a Democrat, name a Republican, Donald Trump is the only person I think who can handle the foreign policy with the conflict, the crisis. Two reasons. One, what we saw with this foreign policy was the best I've ever seen in my lifetime.
Starting point is 00:35:08 Getting our troops out of the Middle East, scheduling it to a great degree, pulling troops out, eliminating ISIS, crossing to the DMZ into North Korea with no security detail was a huge sign of good faith. Abraham Accords, what was the peace agreement he had up in Europe? Which country was it? I always forget. Anyway. What, like the Kosovo stuff?
Starting point is 00:35:26 No. What was it? I don't know. I don't know. Someone want to look it up? He did another peace agreement. I'm sure the chat will know. But my point is.
Starting point is 00:35:33 The chat knows it all. They do. They do. It's the oracle. It's the great oracle. Donald Trump's foreign policy was just downright the best. On top of that, he had this twitching eye about nuking his enemies if they crossed us so you got the best of both worlds which was great i love that he's bringing our troops back
Starting point is 00:35:52 and nobody's crossing us because he's got his finger around the nuke button being like i'm pulling my troops out you see and they're like looking at his finger on the button they're like we're not moving like get your troops out we're fine but joe biden man this guy comes in and russia was like okay into ukraine we go here we go yeah yeah well because biden's not going to do anything everything he's going to do is going to be calm and measured and considerate you know he's never going to take any real decisive action serbia yeah i think that was like the that's the europe war area you You know, that's what I was thinking. Yeah. Must be over there.
Starting point is 00:36:27 That's their battleground. That's like where they've been, you know, hiding the dead bodies and everything. Yikes. Right? They had mass graves, really, under Clinton.
Starting point is 00:36:35 It was horrible. Kosovo? Yeah, that whole area. So we got this. After the Velvet Revolution. We got these stories. You know, Russia says they're going to back China. China's going to launch missiles over Taiwan.
Starting point is 00:36:47 A Russian lawmaker said they would nuke London. He's like, that's the first thing hit. And he said it's because London basically is an epicenter for NATO. It's a huge. So they would go right after it. I think there's a lot of saber rattling. But how much of this is us just being like naive and thinking nothing bad could ever happen? I think that there's a lot of naivety to that and i think that we saw that under the obama
Starting point is 00:37:09 administration as well because what happened with obama is he would walk into the room having already stated what compromises he would make right because obama walks in he's like i'm a reasonable man these are reasonable provisions okay except everyone else you're dealing with is crazed, invading lunatic, right? Who wants more territory, who's not playing by your new rules. Obama was playing by the rules of we're in charge. Everyone's cool with us being in charge. We'll make some, you know, considerations for you. We'll do some compromising. Biden's going with those same rules and those rules don't apply. First of all, he's ridiculous and everybody knows it. And it's obvious anytime he talks to world leaders apply first of all he's ridiculous and everybody knows it and
Starting point is 00:37:45 it's obvious anytime he talks to world leaders that everyone thinks that he's you know lost his marbles it's all it's almost like a get what go broke right and almost with the united states like what happens is i'm imagining you've got like a candy shop and a security guard gets hired to stop shoplifters and he's's this six-foot-four orange guy who's just like looking at everybody being like, hey, you fat pig, you get out of here. Hey, I'm looking at you. And people are laughing.
Starting point is 00:38:13 Some people are like, I don't want to go to this candy shop anymore. And the owner or like the investors come in, and they're like, get this guy out of here and just get anyone else. And so they wheelchair in this old man who's just sitting there going, and then everyone runs in
Starting point is 00:38:25 and starts just looting the store. So it's like because of the potty mouth, they cancel the president and then say, we'll take anything else. And you get this tepid, pathetic old man. And now we are being just rampaged over internationally. And it's not just internationally, right? It's not just internationally.
Starting point is 00:38:44 I mean, there's like a Dwayne Reed in New York that's been putting spam in plastic lock boxes. No, for real? For real. Because of shoplifting. I mean, we're, you know, we're destroying our country. We're destroying ourselves on the world stage. We're destroying our reputation.
Starting point is 00:38:58 We're not doing anything. It feels on purpose. Well, Obama, who was it who was saying, I looked it up the other day, because I thought it was Obama who was saying that we had to manage the decline of the U.S. He didn't say it quite like that. He said something like, I think we've got to blop kids. Too many of them.
Starting point is 00:39:15 But he said, you know, there was something about that, managing the decline of the U.S. And I don't know why we ever let ourselves get sucked into that mindset. If we're going to be an empire, why not just take over more stuff? Because the new world order needs to set in. The old world order is limited war, American military bases all over the earth, the liberal international economy. Meanwhile, everyone else is still playing like they're empire builders. I got an idea for a video game that I would like to make,
Starting point is 00:39:39 and it's you're playing as Obama and you're droning kids. Yikes. Because, you know, like, well, but the Democrats supported him. They think he was the greatest president. So what's the problem? Have him, like, show his face and then you see it and it zooms into his eye. And then all of a sudden you're looking out the camera of the drone. Or they're not kids.
Starting point is 00:39:57 You think they're kids, but they're demons. And then Obama's like, only I can do it. There are demons, but the kids are there as collateral. But you still have to go for the demons. So it's like, well, can do it. There are demons, but the kids are there as collateral, but you still have to go for the demons. So it's like, well, the kids are just in the way. I did not like Obama. I think you should do Obama's voice.
Starting point is 00:40:12 If we do this video game, then you have to do it. It's not actually a good Obama impression. It's good enough, though. It's like an exaggerated fire away. Well, kids, he was the opposite of Trump in that, I mean, they were definitely different guys, but he was like likable personality, but pretty overrun by the deep state and militaristic. He was blowing kisses while pressing the drone strike button. Not super militant. He wasn't invading countries.
Starting point is 00:40:36 He was just bombing stuff. And they all have been, really. Even Trump escalated the drone bombing program in secret. And he gave the control to the generals to make the decisions without him. It's the kind of commander that does that. I was thinking about this recently, too, because we have a – don't we have a recruitment failure right now in our military? We have like two months in the fiscal year,
Starting point is 00:40:57 and we're only halfway to the recruitment goals, and we're going to be really short. So what do you do in that situation if you don't have guys to go send in and get blown up? Do you advance your robot autonomous weapons system? Drones. Depends on the situation. Gigantic drones.
Starting point is 00:41:16 And if there are robot autonomous weapons, do they fall under 2A? Does anyone get to have those? I think they do. Do they fall under 2A? Does anyone get to have those? I think they do. Do they? Yeah, I think it needs to be, it would need to be clarified and codified, but arms means arms. So autonomous robot dogs with a rifle shooting eyes. A robot dog that can fire a weapon is just, it's like an advanced firing mechanism. The thing about the left and the anti-gun, I shouldn't say the left, I hate doing that.
Starting point is 00:41:48 The Democrats, the anti-gun people, is they just don't believe people have a right to defend themselves, and they don't understand what a fundamental right is. And a fundamental right is like, dude, if a weapon is held by the government, people had the right to have it. So I'm all on board if people
Starting point is 00:42:05 want to come together and say like, maybe there should be some limitations because weapons kind of got crazy in terms of like directed energy weapons and laser induced plasma channels. Now we got drones that you can mount stuff on. Okay, maybe we should have a conversation there. I say for the time being, arms are arms. Whether it's a flying drone that you put a machine gun on or a handgun or a bow and arrow or a knife, whatever. That's the crazy thing is that knives aren't covered under arms. What do you mean? Like you can't have knives in some place because there's no two way right to it.
Starting point is 00:42:33 Oh, like you can't have bowie knives and stuff like that. Right. Yeah. And they say a knife a certain length and stuff like that. Certain things are like, well, it doesn't count as an arm. So, you know, as arms. Meanwhile, there was just a stabbing attack during a tubing vacation. Did you guys see that
Starting point is 00:42:45 yeah no what was that about yeah so some crazy guy uh i don't remember why he was like part of the trip and he stabbed a 17 year old to death yeah oh sent four other people to the hospital and they were all just tubing on a river whoa i think it's typically like interpersonal conflict that just gets out of hand you see the box box cutter slasher in new york or whatever no he just like holds his arm in there and he walks up to a woman and just slashes her in the back. It's full force. In broad daylight.
Starting point is 00:43:10 Could you imagine living in New York? Like on the subway station? No. Could you imagine living in New York, Libby? I can imagine it very well. I live there. Bro, check this out. We went to New York.
Starting point is 00:43:20 We did a trip for all the crew to see the billboards we put up. That morning was when it happened. Oh, no, to see the billboards we put up that morning was when it happened oh no no i think that yeah i think the slashing happened that morning box cutter slasher yeah just like some some like older woman is like walking with a little cart and he just slashes her back so the other day it was last weekend and i was hanging out with my son as i tend to do because he lives in my house and i was like do you want to go do something we could go the met i love the met and also the met is the only museum in New York that stopped requiring vax cards so I was like okay I'll go back to the Met but everybody else the Guggenheim everybody else
Starting point is 00:43:54 you have to show your vax card I think that's still in effect anyways so I was like you want to go do this we'll go hang out we'll go to the Lego store we'll do fun stuff we'll walk around and he was like can't we just drive to jersey and go to a mall and i was like yeah we could do that and so instead of going to manhattan we went to the mall in new jersey your son is like ready to be in the suburbs he's like we're done here did he say why you'd rather do jersey so i said you don't want to walk around manhattan he was like it's hot there's probably good stuff at a mall. We can go to a chain restaurant. You get the AC. They got Panda Express. We ended up at a California pizza kitchen.
Starting point is 00:44:32 A classic mall fair. We had a fun day, and we still did a ton of walking. We just wandered around the mall a lot. I'm excited for, we just started construction on the new facility. I'm excited to bring some life and energy into West Virginia. And I think these cities, we were trying to expand in New Jersey, but they're insane. These are insane communist people. Yeah, New Jersey is nuts.
Starting point is 00:45:00 It's communists. They're walking around waving sickle and hammer flags. And I mean, i'm half kidding but where where we lived there were stores that were flying like communist style flags like i'm not saying literal like soviet flags they had those they had weird symbol flags that represented socialist and communist ideologies and i'm just like you look man to a certain degree i'm willing to engage in my community and expand but like when it gets to the point when local people are flying these flags, like maybe it's not safe
Starting point is 00:45:27 and we should go and try and just bring our investments to other places. And you were on the like Philly side of New Jersey, right? We're on the, like we're in South Jersey. Yeah. Right on the other side of Philly. Right.
Starting point is 00:45:37 And Philly is a disaster. Oh yeah. That's like another reason I was like, time to get out. These cities, get what go broke, man. It is, it is,
Starting point is 00:45:44 it is what is it is uh what galt's gulch is that what was it called what's that in in in atlas shrugged all the all the wealthy uh high high rank like high merit uh meritocracy people are just like we're out we're going to do our own thing and then everything starts breaking down and falling apart fine so be it look new york still got a lot of talented people running businesses but it's it's a strain it's getting harder and harder to do i think cities are awful so be it. Look, New York's still got a lot of talented people running businesses, but it's a strain. It's getting harder and harder to do. I think cities are awful.
Starting point is 00:46:08 So be it. I'm looking forward to getting out and just doing something with less people. I think with New York, I lived there for a little bit, and part of it is for most people it's not going to be a long-term solution. And I think in some ways our culture has shifted so much with the rise of work from home, work remote, that you can start investing in whatever community, both like financially, but also emotionally. You can really set roots earlier because you're not fighting to establish your career. You can be in a place that's more reflective of your values. I think that the wave of people that we saw moving out of cities, I mean, we really haven't seen a wave returning since COVID, right?
Starting point is 00:46:45 There's been people coming back to New York. Some, but not, it's not like they took time off and then went back. I mean, people are discovering that life is sustainable outside. Yeah, they're going to Mexico. Did you see that?
Starting point is 00:46:56 And Mexicans are like, go home. Yeah, no. So we did a segment about it. It was really funny. Like right in the beginning, Lauren Southern, she's like, it's the great replacement. But the segment we did talking about Mexicans
Starting point is 00:47:06 getting angry at Americans invading their country, it's got like half a million views. It's getting shared like crazy. It's ironic. But I think the reason people are sharing it is because they're like, yo, the sentiment among people when a large influx of people of a different culture come in, the sentiment that people feel like negative towards that,
Starting point is 00:47:23 it's universal. They want to talk about multiculturalism. I was i was like well it's multicultural to be upset when your way of life is overnight disrupted by yeah because you like your community that's why you're there you're not there so that it just randomly gets changed by a bunch of people who decide they like it but want it to be in their image instead of yours i think we should talk about alex jones now we got this story from the Daily Mail. That was a really brilliant segue, by the way. Yeah, I thought so too. Oh, I just figured it was like,
Starting point is 00:47:48 it was not a segue at all. It was perfect. Just a beautiful statement. January 6th, House Committee prepares to subpoena Alex Jones' emails and texts for any contact with Donald Trump after his legal team mistakenly sent them to Sandy Hook parents' lawyers.
Starting point is 00:48:01 Okay, I'm just so frustrated. I don't know if you guys were watching the court case with the Alex Jones trial. hook parents lawyers okay i'm just so frustrated i don't know if you guys were watching the uh the court case with um the alex jones trial no no not yet it's just this is made up stuff so here's what happens the the plaintiff's attorney he's like we've got all of your text messages because they sent it to us by accident and alex was like i gave my cell phone to you i gave myself into my lawyers to turn over and they're like you tried to accident. And Alex was like, I gave my cell phone to you. I gave myself into my lawyers to turn over. And they're like, you tried to hide it. And he was like, I gave my
Starting point is 00:48:30 cell phone to you. You have it. And they're like, no, you gave it to us on accident. And he's like, what? This is the craziest thing that they're saying definitively that it was mistakenly sent to them. When you have two factions arguing, one side saying it was, one side saying it wasn't, why would you just decide one side is telling the truth? This is the craziest thing to me. Also, isn't it part of discovery? Like, doesn't it go to everybody? Well, so that was the issue.
Starting point is 00:48:55 They were arguing that it wasn't sent during discovery, that it was like not sent during the typical process or whatever. And I'm just like, okay, well, why would that have been an accident if they sent them all of his text messages or something like that? Also, what is this accent? They were just like, I, well, why would that have been an accident if they sent them all of his text messages or something like that? Also, what is this accent? They were just like, I put in the wrong email address. I mean, that seems like a strange coincidence. I accidentally gave you this Dropbox link somewhere.
Starting point is 00:49:13 Yeah, I accidentally specifically gave you the thing that you wanted. Right. Yeah. I don't get it. My bad. said to the jury that we don't know that it was like he was trying to hide it or something, but we do know they received it in an improper way or something like that. It sounds like they're doubling two issues right now. They're doubling the issue of Alex and what he said about Sandy Hook with this Trump January
Starting point is 00:49:40 6th thing. Yep. Like, what's he on trial for? Sandy Hook. It has nothing to do with the Trump. It has nothing to do with Donald Trump. It has nothing to do with Donald Trump. He's on trial for one reason. They're trying to destroy him,
Starting point is 00:49:47 his career, his life, and everything. It's a freaking, it's a clown show. It's been going on for like seven years. This is insane. He already admitted what he did was wrong and that it was an actual.
Starting point is 00:49:55 Right, and he said that the media just wouldn't let it drop. But there was one headline today that was like, he admits that. No, it's everywhere. It's so insane. And if you look at the full quote,
Starting point is 00:50:03 he's like, I admitted this a long time ago. Look at this. He did a long time ago yeah ap alex jones concedes sandy hook attack was 100 real yo he said that like seven years ago yeah he conceded it a long time ago he's not it's not present tense he said he had used to have so many documents in front of him and he'd read things and then one night or and he went on this tirade about sandy hook that he'd got some information that was bad information he didn't vet it and it changed his life ever since well this is what he told me he said ever since he's been just on the evidence he will go deep into evidence now he doesn't shout stuff out as much as he used to that fair fair but i'm not going to cut alex i'm not going
Starting point is 00:50:38 to let him off the hook on this one there were other people at info wars that were telling him to stop and i i had heard this before the trial started, like it was last year. There were people, because we've had Alex on the show, we've had other people who've worked with him, and they were like, they were telling us, people were telling Alex like, bro, chill on this stuff. You can't do this. You can't defame private citizens like this. Apparently it's come out in the trial. They showed emails where staffers at InfoWars were complaining, being like, what are you doing? Even when it came to the COVID stuff, people were getting mad, saying like,
Starting point is 00:51:09 you're saying too much, you know, false stuff. So I'll say it outright. I think defamation is wrong. Alex Jones wanted to go on his show and say things that weren't true or, you know, to a certain degree. I think he's got to be held accountable. However, I think what's going on right now is anything but that. I mean, I feel like the lawyer was super smarmy. It was just like, dude, I could not stand listening to the man because he was like, Alex. And I'm like, shut up, dude. Just ask a question. Like, I got to tell you this. If I'm sitting, if I'm sitting, listening to a lawyer, I'm telling, shut up, dude. Just ask a question. Like, I got to tell you this. If I'm sitting listening to a lawyer, I'm telling you I think Alex Jones was wrong in this.
Starting point is 00:51:50 And I think he owes the family something. Then their lawyer comes out and he goes, Mr. Jones, you said this, right? Do you know what perjury is, Mr. Jones? And I'm just like, wow, I really hate this guy and want Alex to win now. Because, like, he's so awful. It's like alex is up there coughing was he like the rittenhouse prosecutor remember that guy oh yeah yeah it's just yeah that guy that guy was annoying except he gave us the best legal quote of all time don't
Starting point is 00:52:14 get brazen with me i think these stories that i heard that you hear about in the news people showing up to their houses and stuff it's horrifying and there were people that worked with alex that were telling him, like, back off. And he went full steam, or I should say he went steam enough that he should have done it. Now they're saying they want $150 million over it. And I'm like, this is where it's getting crazy.
Starting point is 00:52:37 It doesn't seem like he's getting a fair hearing. He wasn't even granted a jury trial over this. They went straight to the damages hearing., the damages hearing. It's, it's, it's totally insane. It absolutely is. So, you know, look, man, the most annoying thing is there, they, they do these really dirty games. And what blows my mind is it just works on, on, on dumb people. So, so one thing they're doing is Alex. So, uh, I don't want to use Alex Jones as a specific example. I'll give you a general example. Someone will say something like, do you have, I gave the example to Ian. I was like, Ian, you have a rock in front of you.
Starting point is 00:53:14 This one here. Is that rock blue? No. You are testifying right now that there is, that is not a blue rock? Correct. Yes. Okay. Now hand that rock over to us.
Starting point is 00:53:24 Then we'll go, ah, there it is. There is blue. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, the rock, blue, right there. Did you testify this rock was not blue, Mr. Crossland? Yes. And clearly we can see there is blue here. Do you know what perjury is, Mr. Crossland?
Starting point is 00:53:40 That's what they're doing. That's what they're doing. The annoying thing is like, dude, stupid people will fall for that and it's really annoying if someone says do you have x and you go usually you say something like to the best of my recollection i don't think so i don't think i have that now i'm not saying alex is perfect on this one i'm not here to defend everything he said or done i'm saying it's really annoying when it's like perjury almost never happens perjury charges because it's impossible to prove it's like perjury almost never happens. Perjury charges?
Starting point is 00:54:09 Because it's impossible to prove someone's memory is perfect and they intended to lie. Yeah, like James Clapper when he said they weren't wittingly spying on the American citizens at PRISM. Oh, that was different. Well, what's the word wittingly? He did say we weren't wittingly doing it. So they were unwittingly spying is basically what it came down to. Perjury. In this instance, they said to Alex, you testified you didn't have emails pertaining to Sandy Hook.
Starting point is 00:54:26 And he was like, I may have been mistaken. I don't know. I gave you my phone. I gave you my emails. And then they were just like, did you testify? You did not. And they want him to say yes without any kind of nuance or context. Then he says, do you know what perjury is, Mr. Jones?
Starting point is 00:54:43 It's like to taint the jury into believing that perjury was committed when he will never be know what perjury is mr jones it's like to taint the jury into believing that perjury was committed when he will never be charged for perjury because the reality is he probably just didn't know it's crazy to me you know we get thousands of emails per day across the board thousands you think i know what's in there yeah so what what they'll do is they'll say do you have emails and i'll say i don't know and they'll do is they'll say, do you have emails? And I'll say, I don't know. And they'll be like, okay, well, like you're saying you're unfamiliar with. Yes. And then they'll plug me like, boom, there it is.
Starting point is 00:55:12 We have it in your database. You had it. And it's like, dude, I don't read those things. Right. I mean, how many unread email messages do you have? I think mine are in the many thousands upon thousands of unread. Easily. Well, I just mark everything as read every day. Just like, I just ignore it. I don't do that well and i just you have a company right so there's
Starting point is 00:55:30 so many email servers to kill you don't know what's going on with your own company tim pool that's crazy like it's just an impossible standard i think alex i mean i wonder sometimes with the way the prosecution is proceeding is if they're just trying to get him to feel so irritated he has some outbursts on the stand that can feed a media cycle for a little while i mean in some ways it just seems like they're trying to get under his skin they're just trying to destroy alex jones is a huge arsenal for donald trump's victory and so they're trying to just go after him in any way possible to make sure that anybody who's not absolutely in politics won't listen to the man. Now, look, Alex is a lot of crazy, crazy stuff.
Starting point is 00:56:11 The reason we have an Alex Jones was right jar is because he says a lot of crazy stuff. So when he's right, you put the money in the jar. That's that's the gag. When you went on Rogan and talked about like, what is it? Fourth dimensional, fifth dimensional beings and like 5G cell towers and animal human hybrids.'m like okay it's it's it's all crazy you know what i mean but there's a lot of things he's talked about like epstein for instance that he's been right about and chimeras they are real i mean yeah that's the thing it's like he says things in ways often where you think he's nuts and then you realize it's true like we'd him on the show and he was like we're all
Starting point is 00:56:41 eating cloned beef and i was like what and he's like yeah we're cloning cows and then eating and i'm like no we aren't that's crazy and i pulled it up i'm like oh it's actually true yeah like we show the sources saying we we do cloned cloned beef i thought that they already got alex in a trial for sandy hook defamation yeah i thought this didn't we already see this three years ago or two years ago but it wasn't uh i don't know the full details is this civil i think This is the damages hearing. Yeah. Oh, I see. Well, it's all civil. That's the other thing, too.
Starting point is 00:57:09 The left thinks there's criminal defamation charges. I'm like, what are you talking about? Defamation is a civil tort. Yeah. I also, I don't think anyone should ever answer yes or no questions. Oh, I agree. It's a manipulation. I don't think that's ever worthwhile. I remember getting into a fight with someone once and they were, yes or no, yes or no.
Starting point is 00:57:22 I was like, I told, I i'm not even gonna agree with the premise of your stupid question yeah no one's you never have to answer a question the way someone else wants you to no that's ridiculous and you never should the other thing too is if someone says like you know ian do you have a blue rock you say to the best of my understanding i don't believe so as opposed to no right because they're gonna be like you said no you you said no you it's like well i said to the best of my understanding I must have been wrong. Or why do you want to know what color my rock is? You look at it.
Starting point is 00:57:48 Yeah, I don't know if we're seeing different colors. My green could be your blue. When your doctor asks a question like, do you have wasps under your armpits? You say, not that I know of. You don't say no. Because he might be a magician and have like a wasp up his sleeve. Or maybe it's coming out of your armpits. He's like, well, then what's this?
Starting point is 00:58:03 No. And then there's a wasp. Here it is. Doctor says you're experiencing wasps under your armpits anybody who knows that reference will anyone who understands that reference will earn a prize no i don't i happen to have marshall mccluhan right i'm sure ignorance i'm willing to bet a bunch of people in the some people in the chat will totally understand that reference we'll see that adrian curry i love. Aw, I love you too, Adrian. Thanks. That was nice. That's very
Starting point is 00:58:27 sweet. You know what I was thinking? With Alex Jones, this trial's almost meaningless. I feel like Alex could just go on the stand right now and just be like, I'm sorry that it happened. I own up to it. It shouldn't have happened. I apologize. I hope for forgiveness,
Starting point is 00:58:43 and I'd love to try and do what I can. And let me know what you think is deserving of the families, and we'll do what we can to help them out. Did he have the option to settle out of court? Well, I'm just saying if he did that, no matter what he does, he is still Alex Jones, and they can never stop this man. Like, there's literally nothing you can do. Worst case scenario, they would bankrupt him, make him close Infowars. Is that what they're trying to do? They can't do that. That's not possible. So they just bankrupt him and then you just start making money again. Right. So what they could do is, you know, Alex
Starting point is 00:59:12 said anything over $2 million would destroy the company. Considering he got deplatformed, it's entirely possible, but I almost don't know if I believe it because he's syndicated in other places and there's other ways that Infowars makes makes money and I really doubt that his revenue is $2 million. So we'll see. I also bet Alex has been planning for this, knowing that they were going to come after him for large sums of money. He's probably shuffled a bit of his wealth
Starting point is 00:59:36 into areas that protect it. Well, you hope so. Give it to your kids. Give it to your kids. Give it to, you know, you can't just give it to them. It's taxed. But you can do transfers that shield it to, you know, you can't just give it to them. It's taxed. But you can do transfers that shield it from, you know, lawsuits or whatever.
Starting point is 00:59:49 Or put it into like living trusts and stuff. Yeah, trusts are fantastic. Yeah. There's tons of things. But I'm just saying like even if they were to get the $150 million, what happens tomorrow? He goes back in. He does his show. Now, they might force liquidate his asses or something.
Starting point is 01:00:05 But all the man needs is a cell phone. And what are they going to do? Like, we're taking your phone now from you. It's like, you can't. Phone costs 20 bucks. Do you think they just want to be able to say, like, he was convicted of defamation? Alex Jones, who was convicted of defamation, and be able to have that be the soundbite and sort of his official moniker for a little while?
Starting point is 01:00:23 Again, not that they could necessarily pull it off, but to trash his credibility and try and purge people who don't follow him. What does that do? I mean, I don't think it would do anything, but maybe they feel like if they can rock the boat on Alex Jones' supporters, they can gain some sort of influence over a popular narrative and culture. I don't know. Probably.
Starting point is 01:00:42 It's a short-sighted goal, but it might be because I don't, other than that, they just want the money. But I mean, what? You can't get probably it's a short-sighted goal but it might be because i don't other than that they just want the money but i mean what you can't get blood out of a stone 150 million if he only has two million revenue like well i will say i think alex jones likely has more money than he's letting on but i also think the other side in this is not playing fair at all it's the the process is the punishment kind of thing right they're just raking him through it yeah so like one of the things he said was this is what they do this how they get you he said he doesn't do email he doesn't have email and then they were like here's a text showing you sending an email and he was like oh that's like a personal thing
Starting point is 01:01:18 dictated to my assistant and they're like ah but you said you didn't have email and it's like dude oh are you serious yeah like if someone's if you're like i don't have an email account but like one time you might have sent one or two that's just then they they argue he's perjuring all that stuff and i'm just like i'm so annoyed by it because if you if anyone who's sane and rational looks the nuance outright would just be like yeah hey screw this one up you know these families suffered enough let's let's sort this one out instead you've got the opposing lawyer is like one of the worst people I've ever heard speak.
Starting point is 01:01:48 And then everyone's just flinging crap at each other. And I'm like, nobody looks good here. Well, a big part of what we have going on now too, it's not just Alex Jones, but it's January 6th Committee, the Department of Justice. The idea is going after not just um people who worked with trump but anyone who supported him and we're seeing that across our justice system i really
Starting point is 01:02:12 don't like this sentiment of i don't like that guy and i don't like what i was told he did throw him in prison like the stupid short legally torture him well. It is kind of like a psychological torture. It's like the trial. Did you read that? No. The Kafka. So this guy is brought up on charges and nobody ever tells him what it is that he did. And it just goes on like that. It's
Starting point is 01:02:38 very, well, it's Kafka-esque is what it is. What's up with this dude they just said they destroyed with a drone bomb? Alaki? No, not Alaki. That's the kid. Oh, this was the Monday thing? Zawahri? Yeah, Zawahri. And I'm like, didn't they already kill that guy a decade ago?
Starting point is 01:02:50 When you work in the news cycle. Is this like 1984 where they're always at war with a country overseas and it's like every 10 years they're like, we are, we have found the terrorist finally. We've killed him. Didn't you get that guy 10 years ago? What's weird too is a year ago Biden said that Al Qaeda wasn't in Afghanistan. Right? And now they're saying, and now they're like, oh, they're still in Afghanistan.
Starting point is 01:03:12 It's like, well, why'd you say that a year ago? Because a year ago he was going to call the troops, right? Yeah, and then they got 13 service members killed very badly. They retreated and then he, well, they routed and surrendered and now they're back there? Yeah, they said that they were going to work with the Taliban to make sure there was no
Starting point is 01:03:28 Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan. Excellent. Exactly who you want to be working with. At the time, me and literally everybody else was like, oh, you're trusting these guys now? You're trusting these guys to make sure that there aren't terrorists and they're like, they are terrorists. Whatever reason, like lightning striking me, I no longer believe or trust
Starting point is 01:03:48 when I'm told in the news that they got a terrorist leader. But I don't believe it anymore. I don't even know if the guy was alive to begin with. I see no proof. They say that he and his family were living in Kabul. I believe that. I think that's, I remember hearing a description of like,
Starting point is 01:04:00 it was so, he walked onto the balcony and they were able to take him out right and it didn't cause any structural harm they didn't have to hurt anyone in his family because sometimes they'll just drop a bomb and like right take it i mean i think they're saying like it was so uh a show of how clear our how strong our military is how advanced their technology is and i i just feel like that's a weird stance. Like all of it felt strange. Yeah, very likely if they blew up a building or a complex to get this guy that other people were involved in getting killed.
Starting point is 01:04:31 They didn't though. That was the like. But they told us they didn't. They said, no, we just got the one guy. Don't worry. It's like, I want this guy on trial. I don't want to. I want to stop killing people because the war on terror is over.
Starting point is 01:04:42 We ended it 15 years ago or eight years ago. But how do you get them on trial? I agree with you. I don't think we should, you know, going around committing these kinds of things. But how would you get them on trial? Like no one would extradite them. What trial?
Starting point is 01:04:54 What court? So take a look at this story from November 17th, 2020. The death of Ayman al-Zawahiri in the future of Al-Qaeda. Daniel L. Biman. I suppose the issue was that they assumed he was dead. And so later on, the news comes out and they're like, okay, no, now he's actually dead. So that's what I think you're referring to.
Starting point is 01:05:14 They could be like, oh, he's actually alive. We didn't get him. Oh, wait, we got him. But it's like this just appeases. They said they have no confirmation. They have no DNA confirmation. So they have no confirmation that it essentially didn't happen. Maybe they'll get him in a couple years next time.
Starting point is 01:05:23 Yeah, maybe next time when he's back that they'll get him this time. And then we can have faith in our government that it's doing the right thing. What? We're just bombing and killing guys is not the right thing. There's no declared war. This is nuts. But Congress is toothless. They won't do anything.
Starting point is 01:05:38 So how are they possibly going to declare war? I don't think anybody's in charge. They can't even agree on helping veterans. I think everybody's just screaming at each other and clawing for power. Nobody's really in charge. If anyone's in charge, it's Xi Jinping.
Starting point is 01:05:56 Not that he controls everything. He's being run by somebody too. Well, I mean, to a certain degree he's got the party and he's trying to maintain confidence among the people who are who are around him but what i mean is no one there's no control like there's no there's no single group just controlling everything they're trying to yeah and xi jinping probably has the most power of any individual but not necessarily the most power of any group
Starting point is 01:06:21 you know what i mean and the putin as well the bankers have a lot of power like the bank for international settlements i don't know what their military capabilities are though they can have like private military and they have access to weapons and stuff but they're not a nation state the corporations seem to have a lot of power as well yeah and they're kind of run by the bankers that are like fluentizing their their capital and they also just do whatever they're told by whatever government, whatever nation they are, you know, invested in. This is ESG stuff. Look at Nike, right?
Starting point is 01:06:52 Nike will do one thing in China. They'll do something else here. Look at the way that the whole Pride Month thing goes, right? So, like, in Western Europe and in the U.S., you have all of these companies being like, yay, Pride stuff. And then if you look at their same advertising in Saudi Arabia, it's like, no pride stuff. MAGA month. For MAGA month, none of our international accounts changed their pictures to American
Starting point is 01:07:13 flags. Really? That's disappointing. None of, well, I mean, we don't want to offend other countries. You don't want to offend Saudi Arabia if you're American. We don't have any international accounts. That's right. There you go.
Starting point is 01:07:23 But I took the American flag off of my account because MAGA month is over. Yeah. That's what you're supposed to do. You only fly the flag in support during the one month, and then you're done. Done my duty. Now everybody knows I support America, and back to work. Is there a Ukraine pride flag that has all of it? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:39 There is a pride flag with Ukraine on it, right? Yeah, but was it real? I've never seen it in public. I've only seen it on the internet. And who knows what's real on the internet? A lot of these flags are just graphics. Is that what it's turning out? I mean, all black and graphics.
Starting point is 01:07:53 Well, but like some of them, no one actually made a flag into, made into a flag. The crazy thing is like, is there a committee that decides the pride flag? Like all of a sudden one day someone's like, this is more inclusive. And then people just start using it. Well, there was, there was a, there are people who invent all of these flags. Like if you dig down, it's always somebody invented it. We need a flag. We need to make our own flag.
Starting point is 01:08:15 Gotta get a flag bearer. For people who like, for people who like reading books during thunderstorms. Oh, that's cute. We would have a lightning bolt on it. That'll go over really well. And it'll be gray and blue stripes. And we'll hold it up like, ah, angrily. And people start throwing bricks at Barnes & Noble for some reason.
Starting point is 01:08:34 Be careful with the lightning bolts, though. Why is that? Isn't that like a Nazi thing? No, but it'll be a rainstorm. Oh, I see. It won't be alone. It'll be with a cloud. It'll be like a cloud.
Starting point is 01:08:43 My point is, like, whatever you identify for yourself. Oh, like a Care Bear. It'll be with a cloud it'll be like a my point is like whatever you identify for yourself like a care bear it'll be like a care bear yeah like a care bear i mean i was telling like when people had family crests right like they had something to represent it like we just need a crest we got to bring those back people feel better a lion yeah that's an eagle we were talking about the rothschilds earlier like Like, who's running the show? The banking industry. Rothschild is like, it kind of began in the 1500s. Well, it didn't begin, but modern banking with those guys. But Rothschild means red shield.
Starting point is 01:09:12 It was before they had addresses. It was just all symbols and stuff. And they had a red shield on the front of the house. They were like, now they are the red shields. So let's do that again. Well, that's sort of what we're doing, right? With red and blue. We have like red states and blue states.
Starting point is 01:09:25 But if you go back in history, it's always like that. It's like it's always one group identifies with one color and the opposing group has a different color. And that's how they proceed in all of the wars and conflicts. That's how we get all that cool tartan in Scotland. Crusts are too complicated. Just pick a color. Purple.
Starting point is 01:09:42 Okay, I'll be purple. There you go. Done. I want to peel it off, peel it back, and then you see the red underneath or something like that. Periwinkle. Okay, next time we're on the show, everyone better have a crest. If you could fly a flag that was like a magnifying glass and get it the light just right so it shines down and shows you where the gold is, that'd be awesome. The thing about a crest, though, is it's like we're supposed to hate our ancestors.
Starting point is 01:10:04 What if we started identifying with them? You should have ancestor month now. We're supposed to hate them because they were also evil. Well, I don't know. Maga month was July because, you know, 4th of July. Ancestor month could be August. Who do you think was the best evil villain from back in the day? Which day?
Starting point is 01:10:21 Yeah, like if you had to pick one. But like, what do you mean by villain? Like maybe Rasputin. Just like killer. Yeah, he was pretty nasty. pick one. But like, what do you mean by villain? Like maybe Rasputin. He was pretty bad. Yeah, he was pretty nasty. Yeah. Manipulated the royal family. He was just crazy.
Starting point is 01:10:28 Yeah, well, he was a weird crazy priest. Hopped up on goofballs. He sure was. Lots of goofballs. Just high as hell. No, didn't they try to poison him like a half dozen times and it didn't take? That might be apocryphal. Really?
Starting point is 01:10:42 Yeah. Like they tried to kill him a bunch of different ways and he wouldn't die. Well, it's important to hang on to the good myths. But they did try and kill the royal family, the women, and the bullets were bouncing off them. That's real. What? Yeah, because they had sewed all the gems into their gowns. Oh.
Starting point is 01:10:59 So they tried to sneak some wealth out of the palace as they were getting rounded up. And they were shooting with like.22s or something or what? I don't know what they were shooting the Russian royal family with, but I do know that the women had gems sewn into their gowns. I think a lot of the guns they had back in the day were like.22s. I could be wrong, though. Musket balls. Hard to get through diamonds.
Starting point is 01:11:17 Those are.50 caliber muskets. That'll put a 10-inch hole in your chest. I don't know if the gems are going to protect you from that. Let's talk about this movie. Let me see if i can find this one here we go this is from the daily mail holy wokery bad girl tom leonard investigates why warner brothers 90 million dollar new superhero movie has been deemed so awful it will never be released so i i saw this and i really wanted to talk about it because it's a massive get woke go broke apparently they put
Starting point is 01:11:46 90 million dollars into a Batgirl film that was super woke and they cancelled it because when they showed it to people the people said this is a terrible movie
Starting point is 01:11:53 and you shouldn't have made it and so they scrapped it that's a lot of money to scrap I kind of want to see it now yeah apparently
Starting point is 01:12:00 that's what's happening people are saying like give us the film and we'll finish it let us see but I bet it's really bad. Yeah. I bet it's like.
Starting point is 01:12:07 I think we can't hate watch stuff or even like curiosity watch stuff. Like then they'll be like, oh, so you did buy a ticket. So we should make this. Like if they canceled it, just let it go. Like that's probably good.
Starting point is 01:12:18 They say the audience feedback was so awful that an almost unprecedented move Warner Brothers has decided the reputational damage of releasing such a dud would be even worse than wasting the tens of millions of dollars it already spent on it. It just didn't work, said an insider. The decision is also a blow for Glasgow, which had stood in for Gotham City in the movie. Okay, that's weird. Who was the lead?
Starting point is 01:12:42 I don't know, but this costume looks like it's like crappy cosplay well they already failed because we all know that female superheroes are supposed to wear um mini skirts and stuff but this is uh this is then that's like over sexualizing her so like can't do that either they trapped themselves into a corner where they couldn't market this film like it's not it's not clear who this audience is for. I think this may be the end of what was in movies. I think this shows that... $90 million end. They spent a ton of money,
Starting point is 01:13:11 realized they made garbage that nobody wanted. I mean, how long did it take for people to finally realize when they're like, you know, maybe your average dude doesn't want to see
Starting point is 01:13:21 a super ripped woman punching people in the face. Maybe... And your average woman doesn't want to see that either ripped woman punching people in the face maybe and your average woman doesn't want to see that either exactly yeah you know i think it was it might have been uh bill burr or i can't remember which comedian it was they said funny they said that uh the wnba should where all the feminists all the feminists should be out there watching the wnba but there's nobody there where the woman at nobody watches it because nobody cares right i want to watch it exactly i don't want to watch it. Exactly.
Starting point is 01:13:46 I don't want to watch men's basketball either. What is this obsession with like creating men's things for women that women don't want and men don't want? This is such a weird thing too, and especially in films and, you know, narrative. Because what they do is they say, let's take this character that is a male character
Starting point is 01:14:02 and let's just turn it into a female character and do exactly the same things with it that we would do with a male character. And let's just turn it into a female character and do exactly the same things with it that we would do with a male character, and then it's, like, you know, feminist and forward-thinking and progressive and all of that. But if you're going to build a female character, you have to build a female character that is female at the core.
Starting point is 01:14:17 You can't just, like, gloss over, you know, you can't just, like, basically trans a male character in a narrative. I think I know how to do it. How to trans a male character in a narrative. I think I know how to do it. How to trans a male character. How to make Batgirl work for women. Here's what you do. It's Batgirl, right?
Starting point is 01:14:32 She's a crime fighting superhero. And then she starts dating Batman and he like is totally into BDSM and is like choking her and stuff. You know, like because Fifty Shades of Grey. Fifty Shades of Grey. I mean, women love that okay but the perfect one was the the michael keaton batman with who was it was it michelle pfeiffer was catwoman that was great it was romantic it was it was actiony she was cool everyone wanted to be catwoman that halloween but it's catwoman it's not cat and there's no catman because it's like
Starting point is 01:15:04 that's a female character from the core. We should make Catman. Yeah, but every grade school kid knows that, you know, cats are girls and dogs are boys. Can't explain these things just the way it is. But it is. It's weird. Everyone thinks cats are girls. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:17 I'm like, I don't understand. You've got the feline female. It's like, we have Bocas, and people are like, what's her name? And I'm like, it's a dude. I mean, he's a eunuch, he's a dude and he eunuchs are still yeah no but my point was like if you were going to make a women want different things right i made this point a couple days ago i made it several times the past week when i was on this plane and we got hit by wind and we fell like 50 feet you just drop every single man on the plane screams. Not a single male did.
Starting point is 01:15:48 Because like men and women are different. Yeah, I would scream probably. What is the screaming from? Mostly I would gasp. I don't know, but when I was a kid. The hypothesis from evolutionary psychology is that if a bear, if a threat, if a woman perceives a threat and she doesn't scream, she's more likely to die. So screaming alerts the males of danger. Crying does as well.
Starting point is 01:16:08 And the main gay kids, the screamers had the babies. The little girls in my neighborhood when I was a kid would have screaming contests. Oh, wow. Yeah, to make sure. And it would be dusk, and I would be at home because I had to be home by dusk. And I would hear these screaming, and the neighbors would get so mad. Everyone would be like, you kids stop screaming. We think something's wrong with you.
Starting point is 01:16:28 Think something's wrong. You think you need help? And they were like, it's just a screaming contest, Mr. L'Oreal. We would have peeing contests. We didn't do that. The boys from up on top of the clubhouse. That's weird. Yeah, I'd win a lot of those.
Starting point is 01:16:43 Congratulations. Get it into the cemetery. Thanks. Into the cemetery? Yeah, we have a cemetery in our backyard. You were pissing onto graves? Never made it to a grave. Oh, okay. It's a little too far out. That's horrifying. Anyway, my point was I saw this story. I want to talk about it because I'm thinking like it's been
Starting point is 01:16:57 over a decade since the rise of wokeness. And now we see like critical race theory, critical gender theory, but this is huge because if they're willing to tank $90 million without, and they don't want anyone to see this, you know, maybe they're starting to realize it. This stuff doesn't work. The old stories are not bad stories. The old narratives are there for a reason. They've lasted thousands of years for reasons. It's because we relate to them. We understand them. It's because they're part of the narrative that we use to tell ourselves the story of humanity and the story of our lives.
Starting point is 01:17:28 Did you guys catch Tomb Raider or ever follow that game or movie? Yeah. What's her name? Played. Angelina Jolie. Yeah, the 2000s. Is there like any desire or interest in like a woman with a sword that's a badass fighter? For men.
Starting point is 01:17:41 Hold on, hold on. But you don't get into that? I recently watched Tomb Raider because it was recommended on amazon and it's clearly just a movie for for dudes dude like angelina jolie's boobs are like mushed forward and pointy like the tomb raider character because they only had polygons or whatever they had very few polygons and there's actually like a scene of her just naked in the shower for no reason yeah it's like the movie was clearly not for girls to be like yeah like i'm gonna be strong like her and i was like dudes watching a big breasted woman but there are like there are fun movies that are like actiony rom-commy type movies like i was thinking
Starting point is 01:18:15 about this the other day remember shawn of the dead shawn of the dead was great romantic comedy with zombies there you go i love that movie see boom is. Meg Moore. I've been told I have bad taste in movies. I love that movie. That movie's fantastic. It's great. But what was I saying before I got sidetracked by that movie? Oh, you remember how there used to be all those old movies with Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner? Do you guys know?
Starting point is 01:18:39 Okay. What are you talking about? Okay. What's an example? What's one of them? Ant-Man. He's in that. They did a movie called
Starting point is 01:18:45 Romancing the Stone, which was kind of like Indiana Jones, but they were teamed up at the beginning and they hated each other and then they fall in love and everybody gets soaking wet
Starting point is 01:18:54 in the waterfall and there's diamonds and things and then they go off on some paradise because they're rich now, you know? Is this what women fantasize about? This is like
Starting point is 01:19:02 what these movies were and they did very well. Now they're like, let's just have a woman be like a super ripped, muscular boxer. Yeah, who hates men and has absolutely, and you can't tell at all what her priorities are or what she wants in life. Like, what do these characters want? And the men are one dimensional, and they're like, you can't be a boxer. You're a woman. According to Romance in the Stone, they want overcoming miscommunication.
Starting point is 01:19:25 So like they didn't like each other then they realized, oh, we actually do like each other. They want adventure and to be rich and then to retire in comfort. And to look good. There's a meme. You're going to look fine while you're doing it.
Starting point is 01:19:36 Yeah. Like Kathleen Turner in the 80s. There was a meme that might not be true, but someone posted on the internet and it went viral. They said the male power fantasy is to save everyone, the children, the women, other men, to put the fire out, to be a superhero. That's why guys love these movies, war movies.
Starting point is 01:19:53 It's to save everyone. And the female power fantasy is to be able to do whatever you want without consequences. So in a lot of romantic comedies, it's about the bumbling woman who just gets what she wants in the end through misadventure or something i'd argue that the woman in uh i don't remember her name but gone girl like that female character is crazy to me i would watch her all day long because she gets to do whatever she wants because she's operating on a really intense psychological level i think women i i have never really been interested in watching girls fight. Like physical combat with women, if that's what you want to watch, fine.
Starting point is 01:20:28 But I don't think it has the same appeal for a female character as seeing female characters control a situation psychologically or through emotion. I think that's much more of a feminine trait than seeing them punch someone. And that's why when you see really well written characters they are in some ways reflective of true gender norms i think that's really interesting you're making me i keep thinking about game of thrones i don't you probably guys probably have seen it if not but there's this character called uh brianna of tarth there was this woman that was like a warrior and she was huge she's like six five or something and she's pretty big for a woman but they put her in this
Starting point is 01:21:02 armor and she could barely move in the armor it was like grating and embarrassing to watch and it society didn't want to talk about how how horribly awkward it was to put this woman in this massive heavy armor she could barely move but they were just like trying to shove it down my throat like this is what a woman warrior like dude at least like put her in something she can she can carry like so it doesn't look embarrassing like oh it's just disgusting to watch it was really really piss poor that they did that i'm sorry you had to watch that yeah it was it was like and i you know i didn't even realize how bad it was till halfway through this i was watching i was like i just can't lie to myself anymore the casting of
Starting point is 01:21:39 brie larson is is captain marvel for those that are familiar just made literally no sense to me because she's like a short frail woman who's supposed to be this like great warrior, this massively super powerful being. And I'm just like, pick your narrative, man. Like, what are you going for? You're going for a short, very thin, frail woman. They might as well have cast Kristen Chenoweth instead. I don't know, man.
Starting point is 01:22:03 Well, I think all this stuff's going to start backfiring on them. Well, because no one wants to see it. No one wants to see it. What was it? Top Gun? That did great, right? It was fairly generic. They didn't even mention the name of the enemy country,
Starting point is 01:22:15 but I think they did the same thing in the first Top Gun anyway. And it was good. It was just like a regular movie. I thought what you said was very insightful, that women, their power fantasy is manipulating people as opposed to the man is fighting people. Because like I've been listening to a lot of psychologists. I think Jordan Peterson and other people have been talking about women
Starting point is 01:22:32 like high school girls will, their power thing is they will manipulate others and make other girls feel bad about themselves. Oh yeah. Whereas the guys will bully. They'll like push. It's much more, I mean you hear people say like with men and women, like women are grudge holders, right? And, like, the idea, it's kind of a stereotype, but, like, guys, if the argument gets really
Starting point is 01:22:50 heated, eventually they'll just throw punches and then it's kind of over, right? They have a way to physically de-escalate a situation. Whereas with women, we don't, I mean, some girls do, I guess, but, like, for the most part, they aren't as prone to physical violence. They are much more prone to, like, social and emotional manipulation because they are in some ways more in tune to that naturally and so like i just have never really understood these like why the push to have women be physical fighters when they actually are crazy in another realm like they can be maybe that's why oceans eight make a bunch of money the
Starting point is 01:23:25 all-female reboot of oceans 11 like actually did really well oh i don't know yeah i think it actually made a lot of money well john john mulaney had this joke about before it came out like you could never have an all-female cast of whatever oceans movie because women you know there would be seven of them and then two would split off to talk you know talk about the rest of them like it doesn't it doesn't work it's not reflective i mean with uh thor love and thunder we talked like natalie portman got a lot of heat for like her arms actually is right far the cgi whatever but but i thought it was interesting i think to a certain extent yeah i mean she's petite like even in i from i'm not an expert please no one judge me on this but like from the comic books it's actually like a six foot tall kind of like much more athletic looking i
Starting point is 01:24:10 imagine like a volleyball player body type uh and they chose that i mean maybe natalie portman is perfect for a lot of other reasons i can't they cast her in the role and right but they were like it's better to have this very petite woman and then it kind of defies expectations because she's actually a great warrior or something like i don't understand why this is appealing at all i don't i don't think it's that interesting there's another uh there's another like i think woman's power fantasy too that i think uh it's very taboo to talk about these days but that we can hear in you know old pop music for example like if you look at amy winehouse on holy war right so the fantasy in that song is that she's going to back her man
Starting point is 01:24:50 no matter what if you look at like um a song that i recently remembered and started listening to i was like oh that's great uh midnight train to georgia right gladys knight she's singing about how this man she's in love with is leaving LA because his dreams didn't turn out right. And he's going back to Georgia. And she's like, I'm totally going with him. You know, I would never not go with him. Songwriting is so much better. You know, songwriting is great. But Amy Winehouse and, you know, Gladys Knight, and there's others, you know, like you hear it, I think in some Aretha songs as well. But this idea that the fantasy isn't about your own aggrandizement or your own, you know, success or power manipulation. But, you know, your greatness lies in boosting your man, you know, and like the whole power behind the throne thing.
Starting point is 01:25:37 Yeah. I mean, I think I say manipulation, but like really women, if you think of like the stereotype of like hunter gatherer, right? Like men go out and they have to like be physical. They have to hunt and capture things. But women stay home and basically hang out with the other women and the kids. And they have to keep an eye on what's going on. Like there is a different skill set that's needed to do that. I don't, I mean, maybe they would fight in the village. But for the most part, you really have to learn how to navigate socially.
Starting point is 01:26:03 That's why. Just take a look at the noble domesticated fowl. Oh, yes. The chicken. The chicken and the rooster. And now the rooster will run into danger, sacrificing himself to protect the hens. When you watch the chickens eating, all the ladies are like pecking the ground and the rooster standing upright, just looking around. He's like, ain't nobody coming near my ladies.
Starting point is 01:26:24 That's really sweet. If a fox will come. Yeah, it does seem that way. At first. At first. But it is. It is. I mean, and then he takes what he wants.
Starting point is 01:26:33 Sure. You know what I'm saying? And the chickens just, you know, they're like, oh, here he goes. It's the chicken harem. Yeah. Do you think they think like here he comes when he comes walking in the room? Sometimes they run. And it's like really, really crazy to watch.
Starting point is 01:26:44 Like the chickens are like just frantic and the rooster's chasing them. But no, like if a fox shows up, the rooster will run straight at it knowing it will die, giving the hens time to flee. Have you seen this?
Starting point is 01:26:55 Has this happened on Chicken City? We had a hawk attack. No way. And the rooster ran towards the gate and then stood in front of it making noises as the hens all ran in and then he went in last. Wow. Yeah, to watch he was like not gonna go in until all the
Starting point is 01:27:09 girls were inside that's cool but like the hens are really dumb so i think what he was doing was he went to the door it was a small little door to show them where it was they so they'll follow him and then he waits outside for them to get safe and then the hawk i think the hawk actually got hit one of our chickens and then wasn't able to get off with it. And then, you know, the rooster, Roberto. But Roberto's been retired. He was just he was banging his daughters too much.
Starting point is 01:27:34 You know, you can't definitely let that go. Well, in chicken society, it's called line breeding. It's kind of OK. But when he has too many kids, then it's like, OK, buddy, like you're you're you're off. Yeah. But no, thanks. We you were right about Oceans 8, the the sequel, then it's like, okay, buddy, you're off. But no thanks. You were right about Ocean's 8, the all-women sequel. It budgeted
Starting point is 01:27:49 $70 million to make, and they made $300 million worldwide. Because it was about a bunch of women who were manipulative and catty and stole a bunch of money from dudes. It made slightly less than Ocean's 13, but it also cost slightly less to make. See, there you go. So you want to do a movie about women, make them sly and manipulative.
Starting point is 01:28:09 People are going to be all down for it. Oh, and tell women's stories as opposed to like just grafting women on top of men's stories. Yeah, I like the idea of supporting the man only because the man then supports the children. Yeah, I mean, this is an old story, right? This is like an old classic narrative. Like there's the Bible story. Who is it? Is it? I'm going to get the name wrong. Is it Esther? It is an old story, right? This is like an old classic narrative. There's the Bible story. Who is it? Is it...
Starting point is 01:28:27 I'm going to get the name wrong. Is it Esther? It's one of them, right? And she ends up married to the king or whatever, and he's not Jewish, and she's not his biggest fan. But she ends up bringing him around, and then he does right by the Israelites, and it all works out.
Starting point is 01:28:43 We should make a movie where it's like the main characters are the women who are married to the superheroes. And then like all the superhero stuff is just ancillary
Starting point is 01:28:51 background stuff. Like mob wives. Is that what it is? I don't know, but it seems like that would be what that would be. And I was going to say,
Starting point is 01:28:57 but it's just like the women doing things that support the infrastructure behind the superhero. And so it's more of like an interpersonal drama. Yeah, the show should be called Superheroes, but it's about the women. And so it's more of like an interpersonal drama. Yeah, the show should be called Superheroes, but it's about the women.
Starting point is 01:29:08 No, this is a great idea and it shouldn't be called that. But I like this idea. This would be a really fun film. This would be a really fun film to write and to watch and to costume. I mean, this would be great costumes. If it was like actually written as like a story women were interested in hearing,
Starting point is 01:29:24 as opposed to just like making the women big burly superheroes punching guys. Right. No. I mean, this is not a movie that Hollywood would produce right now because we aren't supposed to have women who are like secondary or playing wives and mother figures. Right. Like that's not supposed to be. But it was not.
Starting point is 01:29:38 It's not second. But that's the story that most women are actually experiencing. But it could start at like a kid's birthday party, you know, and like all the moms are coming over and there's like a pool party and all the kids have like weird things they can do because their dads are superheroes and they're all just sitting there chatting. It'd be fantastic. But then you got to have a villain like slams down from the sky and attacks the party. That's if you want to get everyone to like it.
Starting point is 01:29:59 No, the villain would be. The wife of the supervillain. I feel like it's always happening in the background. The villain would be like, yeah, it would be the wife of the supervillain I feel like it's always happening in the background the villain would be like yeah it would be the wife of the supervillain and she would come in and you would think she's the villain
Starting point is 01:30:09 and then it would turn out that she's actually really nice and she invites everyone to like the I don't know their lake house it turns out
Starting point is 01:30:17 the villain is the supervillain's wife and the superhero's wife and the villain's wife are fighting because they were at a department store and there was one cute dress on sale and the villain's wife bought it first's wife are fighting because they were at a department store and there was one cute dress on sale
Starting point is 01:30:26 and the villain's wife bought it first. Okay, that's not... And now they just... You guys are out of the writer's room. You're just... You're on the villain or playing cards. That's like a dude trying to write for women. It's like you are off the edge.
Starting point is 01:30:37 That's not what it would be. No, but it would be like this... But if you want to go really classic, it would obviously... There would be some sort of affair situation. An affair? Yeah. So like the villain, the supervillain's wife is actually like having an affair with like the Chad superhero.
Starting point is 01:30:54 Yeah. And also the Chad superhero's wife is actually like she's the leader, you know, because there's always a leader. There's always a head of the girl. So she's in charge and then it turns out and blah blah blah yeah actually it's much more interpersonal like i get what you're saying like it might be nice to have someone explode but that's yeah and like the the the superhero the top superhero's wife's best friend would start to know about the affair and like she doesn't know if she should tell there's ethical conflict we're not complicated guys i don't know but this would
Starting point is 01:31:24 be a really good film. But the lighting should be really bright. It should look like nature colors, like almost a little overexposed. And it's like a weird suburb of some kind. Yes. Yes. I hope someone's writing all this down
Starting point is 01:31:37 because this is gold. Well, we don't have to, right? Because it's recording. No, but the thing is, too, the social consequences of the superhero dating a supervillain like having an affair with supervillain's wife yeah and then his wife's friend finds out he's got to talk to her about it they get secluded in a room where you just got to confront her what happens when the pop when the public hears that you know he's intimate with
Starting point is 01:31:58 you know the family right one time it happened one didn't. It didn't happen one time. And then you have like these great scenes like at a, like at a run down roadside motel, you know, and you have like
Starting point is 01:32:11 the loud sound of cicadas and the weird guy who's like smoking cigars and it's sort of like the light is weird. And then you cut to a scene of like their kids
Starting point is 01:32:20 playing together. But you gotta do it. You gotta do it. You gotta do a scene. Someone commits suicide? No, no suicide. But like the villain's wife clearly. Okay, yeah. I'll just give you You gotta do a scene of like their kids playing together but you gotta do it you gotta do it you gotta do a scene suicide no you gotta no suicide but like the villain's wife okay yeah i'll just give you gotta do a scene where like the wife of the chad superhero like goes to confront him and she finds him at this old motel and it's like thunderstorming and then she's like catches
Starting point is 01:32:38 him in the room and then she screams she storms out and then he runs out after and they're both in the rain and he's like don't do this and she's like you did to me and they're arguing in this rain pouring down and then he picks her up and they kiss in the rain right and then he runs out after and they're both in the rain and he's like don't do this and she's like you did to me and they're arguing in this rain pouring down and then he picks her up and they kiss in the rain right and then we have a and then we have a you know stand by my man moment like where she's standing and the only way that she can stand by the man is they got to get rid of the villain wife and now they're like supervillains but that's ultimately feeding the conflict between the supervillain and the hero yeah and then they leave town and then you have a sequel because now the villain and the villain's wife had to start over somewhere else.
Starting point is 01:33:08 No, no, no, no. Turns out they're villains. They're into it. They're swingers. Yeah, but they still have to leave. They can't go to the pool parties anymore. Oh, yeah. And then you have the kids being like, why can't we play with Evil Junior?
Starting point is 01:33:20 I don't understand. Evil Junior. We'll work on the names. And you have this moment when you say what do I say she only wears Versace yes she's a wrap dress girl

Matthew Reckamp says, with convention of states looming, some people have been talking about a deficit tax on Congress as an alternative to a balanced budget amendment so that Congress would have an incentive to not overspend. What are your thoughts? I don't know what you mean by a deficit tax.
Starting point is 01:34:08 You mean like tax their wages or something? Do you guys know what that is? It sounds like that's what it would be. Because unless you're going to go at their personal bank accounts, you would just be taking it from the taxpayer. Then it's just a bunch of rich people being like, I don't care about my salary. Take whatever you want.
Starting point is 01:34:21 Oh, negative, whatever. Yep. Bear says, found a wiki that records all the politicians ties socialist communist groups aoc and photo with north korean activists check out uh key wiki.org is that what it is i don't know i feel like i'm gonna get a virus if i type that in yeah but maybe it's really useful i don't know what was that key wiki.org key uh crackerjack says tim i'm now a proud member of Timcast.com.

Starting point is 01:35:18 Monkey Ninja says, I'm from Kansas and usually extremely conservative, but voted no. I can't argue for the right to defend my property against intruders and vote against women's right to do the same with their own bodies. I don't know if that's the case, though. The issue was the state Supreme Court ruled that the Constitution defends the right to abortion, and there would be an amendment saying the Constitution does not.
Starting point is 01:35:40 There would still be an issue of legislation in terms of abortion restriction. West Virginia has a constitutional uh amendment that says there's no protection for abortion but they do allow abortion in certain exceptions i mean like i think the fear behind a lot of what happened in kansas was the push that it was like it's opening the door to a complete and total ban and like the panic that ensued i could understand if people said you know i oppose abortion for myself i wouldn't do it for myself but I don't feel like I can keep other people from it. And that's why you voted no. But there's a I mean,
Starting point is 01:36:10 a lot of people in Europe think we're absolutely insane for having areas in the country where you can have abortions through, you know, the end of the pregnancy, which is crazy. I mean, and I think in Sweden, it's like 18 weeks, you know, and they're like, oh, we're so civilized in the U.S. You can't have abortions. And it's like, actually, here we can kind of do whatever. It just depends on where you are, you know. So it's very interesting. It is one of the side effects of federalism, really.
Starting point is 01:36:38 Trujillo says, Asia is not an open primary state unless you are registered as independent where you can choose which party in the primary. Oh, that's interesting. So maybe are registered as independent where you can choose which party in the primary oh that's interesting so maybe they registered as independent so it would have been a hundred thousand in independents who were i really doubt that's the case i feel like that's doubt it um traditionally mason m points out as an arizona it's hard to vote for carrie lake with her past supporting obama or the child drag show rumors she's also very flimsy on public education which is a big issue in arizona i love love the show. I've heard a lot of people talking about the past voting for Obama stuff. A lot of people supported Obama. I voted for Obama.
Starting point is 01:37:09 Yeah, I did too in 2008. Yeah, 2008. And then 2012, I was like, well, that was dumb. And then I was just pissed off. And then when 2016 came around, I was like, get out of here. I don't care who you are. See if she supported the post- drone bomb psycho Obama. Psycho Obama. Or if it was 2008 hope and change Obama. No, no, look.
Starting point is 01:37:25 He had a lot of us. Nine million people. He got co-opted. Nine million people who voted for Obama in 2012 voted for Trump in 2016. Trump was a moderate and a lot of people were waking up to reality. I don't think it's fair to see somebody who is like, hey, you know what? I realized y'all were right about this. And then be like, don't care.
Starting point is 01:37:40 You are forever tainted by being wrong before. Like, no, that's supposed to be the opposite of cancel culture. So if somebody, you know, voted for Obama, I did. And then I was like, well, that was dumb. Like, you'd be like, thank you. Thank you for figuring it out and being correct. You know what I mean? All right.
Starting point is 01:37:58 Cromuluse says, I sometimes despair being born in this time. My generation will inherit a broken system. We will fight World War III while our history and culture is erased. The time is now to be a strong man. Do not go gentle into that good night. I disagree. You are, you know, may you live in interesting times. I
Starting point is 01:38:16 think no matter when you're born, something's happening. Imagine being a boomer and being drafted into Vietnam. You know, I guess Gen Xers are like a lost generation right everyone forgets they exist we're a very small generation and the reason for that uh there's a couple of reasons one is the vietnam war so a lot of our would-be parents ended up being killed would-be fathers rather uh another reason is abortion was legalized 73 right that's right and then also contraception uh the pill came in about the same
Starting point is 01:38:47 time so there are a lot less gen xers now on the plus side we all got into college it was was not hard plus yeah i don't know that's a plus did you like that was that good for you uh yeah because i would have had a real doozy of a time getting into college otherwise i believe i yeah yeah i was accepted to to pretty much one school that i applied to oh well and so i went to it nice um yeah limiting the decision my mom made me go um i didn't want to go to college at all but anyway here's here's an interesting one mark extine says i'm an arizona voter i had declared party and was only able to vote in that party's primary. I will admit I voted for Robson because I preferred her policies. But when it comes for the general, I'm going to vote for the GOP.
Starting point is 01:39:35 Interesting. I think, you know, I think Carrie Lake's great. I don't know. I'm not an Arizonan, so I don't know exactly what Arizonans need or want. That's why I'm kind of like, well, I don't want to say too much. I don't want to tell people in Arizona how to live their lives. She's always been a really gracious guest when she's been here. She's always been. Yeah, she's rad. Yeah, personally, I like her a lot.
Starting point is 01:39:54 But it's just kind of almost irrelevant to politics, so I don't talk about it much. I want to come in and bring, you know, fight in West Virginia for, you know, liberty, individualism. I don't like that a lot of these schools, what's happening. So I'll put it this way. I really don't like the idea of being this like city slicker moving into West Virginia and then being like, nah, I'm going to
Starting point is 01:40:16 start voting on these policies and funding them. That sounds terrible. But then what I keep hearing from people is they need help because Michigan, I'm sorry not Michigan, Virginians and Marylanders are coming in and bringing critical race theory into West Virginia because they're fleeing the states they destroyed with their garbage policies, going into West Virginia and then voting for those same policies. And so they're like, we need
Starting point is 01:40:37 help. And I'm like, well, we'll see what we can do. We've got some plans. Buy billboards all over the state saying Shelley Moore sold you out with that gun control garbage. All right. What do we got here?
Starting point is 01:40:54 Lethal 5670 says, I'm still trying to find the full bill to read, but measure 114 in Oregon sounds like it will make us have stricter gun laws than California. If it does pass, sounds like I'll be homeless in West Virginia. Constitution be homeless in West Virginia. Constitutional care in West Virginia. And a lot of people are homeless in West Virginia
Starting point is 01:41:10 and live in trailers. It's crazy when you go out to the middle of West Virginia. It's the coolest thing ever. I really, really love the middle of nowhere. It's kind of like where I grew up. Northeast Ohio. As soon as you start to go like an hour west,
Starting point is 01:41:22 it's just farm town, corn. I mean, and there's a relationship. No, no, no. You don't understand. I'm talking an hour west, it's just farm town, corn. I mean, and there's a relationship. No, no, no. You don't understand. I'm talking about in the middle of nowhere, there's no corn. It's just like rocks and trees. And then you're driving down these single lane dirt roads and there are houses. And it's just like well water, limited power and electricity generators.
Starting point is 01:41:41 Like some of them don't even have, aren't even on the grid. They have like just big diesel generators or something. It's crazy to see. And there's a lot of people who live in little trailers it's really cool when we drove through the mountains uh in central west virginia and then you just come across come across an rv at the top of the mountain and i'm like how did they get that thing there dude we were at the gas station traveling across the country this weekend and like i just get this i see all these people like pulling up all peacefully getting their gas i'm like what if we had no gas?
Starting point is 01:42:05 This whole society runs on gas, man. The whole society would be a problem, yeah. If that gets, it's way too vulnerable. All right. Honk Goes the Dynamite says Rush Limbaugh encouraged voting in other primaries in 2008. It was called Operation Chaos. Yeah. I'm not the biggest fan.
Starting point is 01:42:24 I think it's breaking the system up but you know well it is chaotic i'm not the arbiter of morality here you know that's funny though intelligible noise says here's my solution to strategic crossover voting roll over all primary votes to the election day totals of the winner of said primary this would nullify tampering and make dems vote for the gop oh by making them of course if you vote for someone in the primary and they win, then your votes are automatically set for the general. That makes a lot of sense. That's a good idea.
Starting point is 01:42:51 Yeah. Yeah, so if you vote for Carrie Lake in the primary, you don't got to do anything you already voted for. And then everyone else who didn't vote for her gets to decide. And it would make it way easier to count the votes for the general because a lot of them are already done. All right. Raymond G. Stanley Jr. says, this is way we dig IRL, comedy over World War III.
Starting point is 01:43:13 We're having a laugh about something. What were we laughing about? We were having a laugh about AOC and Trump. The president and cats are girls. Our cats are girls. All right. Clint Torres says, Tim, I think I remember
Starting point is 01:43:25 you mentioned something about having theological discussions last week. Might I recommend a discussion with Father Mike Schmitz? I love his Bible in a Here podcast.
Starting point is 01:43:35 His Bible in a year or Bible in a year? He's the most trustworthy theologian I've ever experienced. I think someone recommended we do like a special or something with him. I got a theological question
Starting point is 01:43:43 for you, Libby. Jesus or Moses? What do you... What? If you had to pick one. Wow, you can't pick one. So you're good at answering questions in a way you want to answer them. Yeah, that's correct. But what does that mean, Jesus or Moses? What would you pick, Jesus or Moses? I don't know what the question means. Who do you like better? I don't know. You don't have a preference? Who do you like better? Moses. I did not say that. Big Daddy Moses, dude. Why? Because he was like the first he like god spoke he was all tripping on the eye was like acacia book and he like he was a slave and then
Starting point is 01:44:12 he found out here he was like raised by royalty and then realized he was like actually a jew and when he's like have this ethical and he like and he went out to find his brother slaves yeah dude moses i watched that movie with christian bale i haven't seen it but he screwed up you know he totally he smashed the he smashed the tablets his brother didn't kill his one of them or warren he smashed uh he smashed that coming down off mount sinai when he found out that the israelites were worshiping false gods oh yeah because the israelites are all they always go around and screw up every time so i was during the pandemic my son and i were reading the old testament and um you know over and over again it would be like and the israelites turned away from god and my son was finally like that never works out well
Starting point is 01:44:56 for the israelites and i was like no it doesn't let's just keep that in mind it doesn't work out well let's read some more we got donald devolole. He says, 1984, Mondale versus Reagan. Reagan wins 524 versus 10 electoral votes, winning 58.8% of the popular vote. If it was 2020, Walter Mondale narrowly wins by receiving more votes than any other president in history. I think people need to understand about a 50 or 49 state landslide is that you don't need 80% of the vote to do it. You can win every state with 51%. You just need to win in those states.
Starting point is 01:45:32 People don't get it. So when we saw these landslides, Nixon and Reagan, it was like 58%, which is big relative to what we've seen. All right, let's see. What is this really now says one more support for timcast to officially asking libby out for a drink oh that's really cute yes i just i want to say now that i'm like i get to say something uh there is no jesus without moses what that's probably true. So that's, I mean. Moses, dude. You need them all.
Starting point is 01:46:08 You need them all. You need people willing to break slaves free and flee across the world with them. Well. Give them a place to live. Here we go. Oh, hell knows. And then Jesus broke us from the chain of our sins.
Starting point is 01:46:18 The entire Alex Jones hearing is being recorded by cameras off to the side for a future made for TV documentary. The judge and prosecuting attorneys are even acting more dramatic just for that that explains it this is what i mean like i think they are trying to irritate him into having some big alex jones type ranty outbursts that they can then use for something this is why he shouldn't have given them this does he think that they're going to be like oh now we've decided that alex jones is right he should have just been like no we're done like
Starting point is 01:46:45 no no movie for you no made for tv anything why give them that i don't understand i don't know what you mean give him that like he acquiesced to doing this that he could he have just settled out i mean my understanding is that he offered some extremely low number like ten thousand dollars something but i don't trust the corporate press reporting on this, to be completely honest. I don't know, man. I can tell you this. What I do know is that people who are associated with InfoWars told me things like people who worked there said, Alex, you got to stop saying this stuff before the trial happened. Then the trial happened and they show emails of exactly what was said.
Starting point is 01:47:24 So people who left InfoWars have been have been saying this is what it is man dorian holmes says hey tim have you guys seen the fbi's domestic terrorism symbol shit that got leaked recommend looking into it we did the gadsden flag yeah i think the black and gold flag the revolutionary war symbols yep from the american revolution that freed us from tyranny i mean come on like that is not that's insane waffle sensei the empirical says i've always held that alex is on the autism spectrum and don't mean it disparagingly i mean he has a superhuman memory and then he can remember a news article from 15 years ago but struggles translating it to people i gotta be honest man i'm not trying to be here, but I think there's a drinking problem there.
Starting point is 01:48:06 I think he said that. He said that explicitly, that his biggest problem was when he would drink and then do a show because he would just say the dumbest stuff. He would be, he'd confuse stuff,
Starting point is 01:48:15 he'd forget stuff. And so, yep. Yep. Dan says, sending my first super chat for Libby. I'm trying to meet someone just like her someday hopefully soon before the world ends and then a bunch of heart emojis please send all of your
Starting point is 01:48:31 resumes bank statements and headshots to tim he'll be screening all of libby's suitors oh not me no we have staff for that though all right it'll be in your email just be marked red logan leroy says tim i'm a med student at the university of uh ks i voted yes on the initiative that failed yesterday some of my pro-abortion classmates brought in champagne to celebrate today even if you support pro-choice you shouldn't be celebrating abortion to that extent that's how i feel but the modern left is pro-abortion just outright pro-abortion so on the other hand they're not other hand, drink some champagne. Yeah, I guess.
Starting point is 01:49:06 I mean, once there's champagne. It's already opened. The bubbles are going to die. Yeah, you just got to drink it. Greedo says, the missile had blades on it, no explosives. Yeah, wasn't it called
Starting point is 01:49:17 like a ninja missile or something? What missile? A shredder. The missile they fired to kill al-Zawahiri. They fire it, and then it spins and fires blades,
Starting point is 01:49:31 and they just shred you to pieces that sounds like a weird star wars thing i don't know isn't star wars use energy weapons like lightsabers they do both yeah but then they do other stuff too yeah they have vibro blades which are vibro blades yeah they just vibrate so fast that they cut through bone like butter but they're not energy weapons. Also, I heard in the extended lore, they had, there were, I think they're stormtroopers. They fired slugs because the lightsabers couldn't deflect them. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 01:49:55 Yeah, ballistics are going to do well in space. Energy weapons are great, but ballistics will go right through a hull of a ship if they don't have armor. Yeah, I mean. They'll have shields that block the lasers, but then the bullets will go through the shields and hit the wall.
Starting point is 01:50:09 So you're going to need hull armor and shields. What sci-fi series did that? I was watching it and they used bullets in spaceships. I can't remember which one though, recently. It was a recent one or you watched it recently, but it was old. Maybe it was old. It sounds like an old concept.
Starting point is 01:50:30 No, no. Almost all space stuff was always like pew pew lasers and photon torpedoes this was like they were shooting guns and i was like they have no shields just ripping through the hole you know crazy interesting yeah guns in space all right jared gutierrez says pelosi went to celebrate giving access to over two billion dollars in education to prc confucius schools why shoot down a person who just gave you money people are saying battle star was it the expanse halo firefly oh didn't they have guns in firefly but i don't remember that movie firefly yeah? Yeah. Maybe it was The Expanse. Serenity was the movie. Firefly was the show. Firefly was the show.
Starting point is 01:51:09 What a great theme. That was a great show. It was really a lot of fun to watch. They made RimWorld, the video game. It's basically based on Firefly. Yeah, it's a great game. And then Serenity was the name of the ship, right? I heard it didn't do well, the movie.
Starting point is 01:51:21 Yeah, who cares? I watched it anyway. But yeah, Serenity was the ship. Yeah. That was great. Malcolm McDowell, is that it? I would yeah, Serenity was the ship. Yeah. That was great. Malcolm McDowell, is that it? I would have watched a whole bunch more of that. I think a lot of people would.
Starting point is 01:51:30 Stacey Strickland says, previous conversation that mentioned restaurants in New Jersey. Is it still hard to order sweet tea in northern states? Random, but you used to get looked at sideways and wondering it's normalizing up there. I don't know. I don't know anybody orders luke orders half sweet tea i didn't know when you would get iced tea when i grew up in the northeast and i grew up
Starting point is 01:51:51 in new england if you would have to ask for sugar to add it it's not like when they make the simple syrup and add it and it's always like that but i think the spread of some chain restaurants like i think chick-fil-a always has a sweet nice tea and I think that is sort of making it seem more normal and I think some of the like uh big brand name drinks also produce uh sweet iced tea so it's always drink unsweetened iced tea and I'll ask at restaurants you have iced tea and they'll say well it's unsweetened sort of apologetically and I'm like good like why would you I don't want sugar why would you put sugar in your iced tea I didn't even I didn't have iced tea for years like this my family like makes tea every morning I read a story about a guy who drank nothing but
Starting point is 01:52:28 iced tea and then he died what from what really he was like 80 yeah i'm kidding covid no there was actual story about a guy who was uh he drank nothing but unsweet tea and he died in like his 40s and i think it was related that's what the story was like he didn't drink water he didn't drink water well that's i mean that's a problem right away. He was getting some kind of buildup or something. I did have iced tea over the weekend. It was gorgeous. It was good.
Starting point is 01:52:50 All right, let's read some more. We got Thomas Williams says, I agree going after Alex Jones for false information about Sandy Hook. I also want the same standards for all major networks, MSNBC, CNN, so on. Your false opinions have consequences.
Starting point is 01:53:02 Your false opinions are protected. In this instance, it was that Alex Jones said definitive things. Now, I think what they're arguing is, and again, I don't know every detail of the case. He was saying that he was like reading things from his audience and stuff like that. And then asking questions. And I think they determined, look, the standard for private citizens is way, way lower than for public figures. Maybe he could have argued involuntary public figures like they did with the Covington Catholic kids
Starting point is 01:53:32 and are apparently getting away with it because in those cases they're getting dismissed. But, you know. I'm hearing that it was Battlestar in the recent Battlestar. Recent Battlestar? The recent one. With the blonde girl that was Starbuck?
Starting point is 01:53:44 Yeah, that had Kara. Well, that's not real. That was 20 years ago or something. Yeah. But not the one from the 70s. It's the remake, though. But that they had the bullets. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:53:52 There was something else I was watching recently, though. Had bullets in space. I don't know. Maybe it was like a low-budget movie. I can't remember. I watch random stuff on Amazon. Stefan Buksev says, regarding Alex Jones, talk to Barnes. He explains really well how he's getting
Starting point is 01:54:06 railroaded technically the judge has already broken texas law regarding how he has tried too long of an explanation for a super chat interesting so appeal on the horizon texas this case is in texas yeah oh wow i thought people were sitting in connecticut or something i think the previous case was i remember uh he didn't show up to it in person, which is okay, and there's some back and forth, but there were two separate legal motions, and this one is in Texas.
Starting point is 01:54:32 People are saying it's the Expanse. I don't know. They could be wrong, but a lot of people just... Yeah, I mean, maybe both. Common sci-fi theme. Trox says, USA will not let Taiwan fall.
Starting point is 01:54:46 Taiwan invasion equals World War IV. We have already had a cold World War III. We have been putting this war off, denying Taiwan independence. I don't agree with that. I think that it's just one of these colonization tactics and it's been planned for a long time that China, it's part of, I mean, it's right
Starting point is 01:55:02 next to China. China's taking Taiwan. Yeah, they definitely are and there's nothing next to China China's taking Taiwan yeah they they definitely are and there's nothing we can do about it yeah they're moving industry to the states yeah the last few months they have been they're just preparing for the transition we just don't have the leadership to do anything Donald Trump said he would nuke Beijing if they tried yeah and he was the crazy person with the knife and he was like maybe they believe me five percent but it's enough that's yeah that was I don't know man it's kind of scary because i think it was enough even the left they were like donald trump could start a nuclear war and i'm like
Starting point is 01:55:30 yeah he wants you to think that he might he just might it's like but that like doubt was really to his strength right like even if it's only five percent well it's like you're saying if there's a crazy guy like if you're if you're if you're building on your block is on the corner and there's a crazy looking guy twirling a gun around and he's like shaking it and pointing it around you'd be like from that guy yeah you're the one house not getting robbed because like a crazy guy you can't argue with you know if they saw somebody they'd be like i bet i can take him but a crazy guy who was just like shaking his gun you're gonna be like damn i'm not going anywhere near that guy. That's right. I actually saw a guy in my neighborhood the other day, and he had what looked to be like a little machine gun type of thing. And he was like pointing it around and stuff.
Starting point is 01:56:12 And it took a while before I saw that it had like a orange tip on it. Oh, jeez. And I was like, this is totally freaked out. I've heard kids get shot, or one guy in particular, I think it was in Ohio, got shot for that. A cop saw him and thought he had a real gun, so killed him yeah that that's happened oh that's not my kid's not allowed to take his nerf guns apart not in this era no way all right diesel addict ryan says chicken ian the hero we didn't didn't know we needed until we saw him long live chicken ian yes people were i saw i saw uh like libertarian people sharing the cartoon.
Starting point is 01:56:46 So for those unfamiliar at Chicken City YouTube channel, there's a cartoon. We asked an AI. I typed in like the parameters like Ian, Federal Reserve, chickens. And they wrote this very, like it wrote this story. It was like one day Ian went to school and he was bullied by, you know, a rooster. And so then we turned it into a cartoon. And then Ian goes on this rant about the Federal Reserve. And then the chickens take over the Federal Reserve.
Starting point is 01:57:09 It was shut down. I think that the AI wrote the story and then Kent wrote the dialogue. Was that right? The AI wrote the premise. It was like... And then Kent, shout out to that dialogue. Ian the chicken goes to school and was bullied. And then, you know, and then, yeah, all the dialogue was written by Kent.
Starting point is 01:57:24 Your graphene book bag. Yeah. That's great. I wanted to make it into a show because that was really hilarious. Yeah, cool. I want to rename the character from Chicken Ian to something like Wilbert or something. Rooster Ian. Rooster Ian, right?
Starting point is 01:57:36 Yeah. Big news, though. We're filming our music video. We filmed half of it for the song that we're putting out in a couple of weeks. It's really, really good. I'm really excited. Pete Parada is going to be here. He's an amazing drummer. Super excited to have him. And we're putting out in a couple of weeks. It's really, really good. I'm really excited.

Let's get a huge fan. We'll set up a team that's blowing on us while we're playing. We're going to get a couple
Starting point is 01:58:10 portable air conditioner units so that we can film this because it's going to be an all-day thing. We've got to move stuff around and play the song like 10 times, but I'm really excited for this. And then the ad run we have on Times Square, it's going up probably August 21st.

Starting point is 01:58:36 Let's grab some more superchats. Type 54 Blackstar says, Tried to vote yesterday in AZ as a Libertarian, and I was only able to vote for the single libertarian running. Why am I forced to vote per party? Tim, are you still planning on getting your FFL? I mean, at some point it would be nice to get an FFL. Luke wanted to buy one.
Starting point is 01:58:53 I don't know if I can pull that off. What's FFL? Firearms, Federal Firearms License. I think that's what it stands for. You have to buy it? You register a business and then you go through the hoops and then you can have a license for selling guns oh interesting yeah and then real firearms license yeah depending on what tier it is or whatever it's work like there you can you can have suppressors and short barrel rifles and
Starting point is 01:59:15 all these crazy nfa items and then there's even an application to apply for a nuclear weapon or like robot robot autonomous yeah i mean probably i mean be really cool to have a bunch of those robo dogs. You just want that dog. Yeah. I mean, I'm down. I'm freaked out by them. You've seen those Boston Dynamics videos. We were driving by there going to see family.
Starting point is 01:59:34 And I was like, oh, my goodness. Look, it's Boston Dynamics. Terrifying. Did you see the video where it has the mounted machine or semi-automatic? Yeah, great. I think it's a fully automatic. All right, let's grab one more here. We got Mike DeRussia.
Starting point is 01:59:46 He says, $99.99 says Tim won't talk about how Brave New World is happening in real time. Sexualized kids, world government, eternal youth, government mandated drugs change my mind.
Starting point is 01:59:56 Well, we have talked about that quite a bit. The only thing is, we like to point to Luke Rutkowski's shirt where it shows all of the dystopian novels as a Venn diagram and in the middle it says, you are here here because it's not just Brave New World.
