The border bill, it's not really a border bill.
They're calling it a border security bill, but it is a disaster.
It's basically funding for Ukraine to the tune of $60 billion, funding for Israel,
and $20 billion for amnesty, I guess.
The bill basically just codifies exactly what is the Biden administration is doing.
It creates an easier path for asylum seekers, quote unquote, to be granted asylum and to be given work permits.
This was the play.
It was obvious.
Joe Biden screws up the border and basically creates a mess
then when republicans start complaining joe biden says i need i need a bill then when they put
together a bill giving biden everything he wants and destroying the border they call it a security
bill so when republicans in the house not the senate oppose it the media will run rampant
screaming the Republicans
are against their own bill.
That was the narrative.
And that's exactly what's happening.
So we'll talk about that.
Plus, we got crazy news, depending on how you view it.
The federal government has sent a memo calling on the Alaskan National Guard to deploy to
the southern border, which would include Texas for support for aviation.
It's a single grain of sand in the heap of
things are kind of heating up.
The last time this happened,
as many people are claiming,
it's routine,
this happens all the time.
The last time it happened
was five years ago under Trump
and it was 10 personnel.
We're now seeing 20 personnel.
It's either the most
tone deaf thing imaginable,
the most tone deaf thing
you can do at a time
when the state is in,
14 states basically had a meeting.
All their governors came together saying we will secure the border against the Biden administration.
Joe Biden has threatened a deadline against them.
And now you've got the Alaska National Guard coming down to work with CBP on the border.
And this does include Texas as part of their deployment.
Naturally, there are already attempts to claim this is nothing.
Don't worry about it.
But it's a grain of sand.
And I think it's probably bad precedent nothing. Don't worry about it. But it's a grain of sand.
And I think it's probably bad precedent.
But we'll talk about that.
Plus, I want to talk about this rumor of RFK Jr. running on the libertarian tickets.
And maybe.
And then I want to talk about Michael Rapoport.
Leftist comedian.
Well, liberal comedian.
He's not a leftist. He's a liberal.
Absolutely hates Donald Trump.
Has now made several videos talking about how he's going to vote for pig-dicked Donald Trump.
So we'll talk about him.
He's a funny guy, but he's very liberal.
Before we get started, my friends, head over to castbrew.com to buy the best cup of coffee you'll ever have.

We've got Appalachian Nights.
That stuff, Appalachian Nights is selling so crazy.
And Rise of the Birdo Jr., we did not realize how popular and how delicious everyone would find this coffee.

Hey, what's going on, Tim?
Thanks so much for having me back.
I appreciate you.
Absolutely.
Who are you?
What do you do?
I'm the host of Break the Cycle
with Joshua Smith
live in the evenings on YouTube.
And I'm a candidate
for president of the United States
for the Libertarian Party.
Right on.
So that should be interesting.
We got Phil hanging out. Hello, everybody. My name is Phil Labonte. I'm the lead singer of the United States for the Libertarian Party. Right on. So this should be interesting. We got Phil hanging out. Hello, everybody.
My name is Phil Labonte. I am the lead singer
of the heavy metal band All That Remains.
I'm an anti-communist and counter-revolutionary.
And Libby's hanging out. Hey, guys.
I'm Libby Emmons. I'm hanging out. I'm with the Post-Millennial.
Glad to be here. And of course, sir, just
pressing all the buttons. Yes, I am
back. I am here. It's gonna be back.
I also see a friend
of mine across the table here.
Yo, I made it back. I'm back from Miami. What's happening, everybody? Welcome back.
I feel good, man. I got out of town. I went to Miami and I'm like, yo, you want to talk about
a culture war? Being in a place with a bunch of people that you don't necessarily agree with,
and you're not the one curating who you're going to hang with and hanging with them for a long time
anyway and just being with
those people that's like front line
material that's it's really invigorating
I was just in LA for a week
and so was Libby, Libby's out in California
yeah I was in California for a good stretch
I was in LA working with Prager
on something and then did you step in any poop
no but I did
keep saying to my son hey hon don't step in any poop uh no but i did keep saying to my son hey
hon don't step in the poop hey watch it don't step in the poop but we were in la and san francisco
and we actually we had a spectacular time we were uh we're me and allison were hanging out at
mgm national harbor all weekend and i had some stories early in the day about this trump
derangement syndrome guy but there was another guy who was a fairly liberal guy who was like i
don't like donald trump we got to vote for Biden, blah, blah, blah.
But he was complaining about the poop.
He really was like, he's like, have you seen they got this map, the social media app where you can see all the poop?
And I was like, you get it.
Why would you want to vote for these people?
I don't know.
Poop and death.
It's like two things.
In California, the politicians fell upwards.
That's what Gavin Newsom, they wanted to cover the whole state and poop.
Let's jump to this story.
We'll kick it off with this Huffuffington post headline it's a betrayal republicans go
ballistic over bipartisan border bill they demanded this is the game everybody who knows
anything about politics predicted exactly this biden comes out and says, I need a new law to secure the border. Republicans and Democrats
in the Senate come together and create an amnesty bill, which codifies exactly what Biden is already
doing. It's not it's there's no negotiation here. It literally just gives Biden everything
locked in, nailed in, bang. And so when House Republicans are like, yo, no, the media, of course, was always going to say the Republicans are lying, obstructing.
And this was part of their plan.
Donald Trump wants chaos.
This is what they're saying.
They're saying that the reason why in the House they're calling this bill done on arrival and they won't vote on it is because they're terrified of Donald Trump.
And Donald Trump wants chaos so he can win the election.
It is the long con.
But here's the reality.
We've got this post from Mike Lee, U.S.
Senator for Utah, who says the dirty dozen disasters in the so-called border deal codifies
catch and release allows up to one point eight million illegal aliens to enter before
temporary closing off parts of the border.
It funds sanctuary cities and NGOs sending illegals around the country.
It subsidizes free taxpayer-funded legal counsel to illegal aliens.
It expands parole instead of limiting it.
It increases green cards by $50,000 per year for five years.
Work permit for adult children of H-1B visa holders.
Immediate work permits to every illegal
released from custody after they pass an initial screening, nothing to deport illegals.
Afghan Adjustment Act creates a pathway decision for over 60,000 poorly vetted Afghans who
were brought to the country due to Biden's disastrous withdrawal, weakens asylum screenings
by codifying Biden policy, no immediate funding for the wall.
And now I love how mike lee said this is
bad for the border what it doesn't mention is 60 billion dollars in funding for war in ukraine
or i believe it's what 14 million for funding for israel 74 in total 74 billion in total for
between ukraine and israel so and that's it's all the whole bill is only 120 billion. So, I mean, you're talking 20 billion for border.
And then it's, it's basically a war powers bill.
Yeah.
It's a foreign wars funding.
Zero dollars, zero laws and zero policy for border security.
Well, and the craziest thing, and Libby and I were talking about this before the show
started.
If you read through the bill and I don't know why Mike Lee's not bringing this up and other
people, but there's a, there's a portion of this bill there's a provision in this bill that
gives the the right for the all of these things to be heard in the the dc district court going
forward so that's right we found it yeah it's going to give them they're on 150 yeah it's going
to give them where can i put that page 150 do a search for judicial review yes right there at the
bottom page 150 all reviews on these matters will go through the district court in D.C., in the District of Columbia.
So they will have free reign over all of these issues from now on in D.C. allowing it to to be debated is giving credibility to the argument that there is a nest that the bill
is necessary in the first place the federal government has all of the authority that it needs
to take care of the border there does not need to be another bill there doesn't need to be new
new authorization from congress there does not need to be anything except for the executive to use the powers that
he has and to handle the job given assigned to him in the constitution one of the few things
that are specifically said that the president has to take care of i just want to give a shout
out i asked libby to tweet out the bill so i could pull up the dc provision uh but libby retweeted
mike cernovich.
He said, if the border bill were truly a compromise, Democrats would support it as a standalone rather than tie it to the 60 billion dollars WTF to money laundering Ukraine.
It's all about money, money laundering.
But I just I just love the WTF like 60 billion.
It's a it's it's done.
It's over.
It's it's remarkable that anyone in their right mind could try to justify this expense.
I just sent it to you.
Meanwhile, Ukraine's forcibly enlisting females to fight their war because they're doing so badly.
How long have they been doing that?
At least a month now.
Yeah, so they're forcibly enlisting women to fight their war.
Where, in Ukraine?
In Ukraine, yeah.
Well, women are already fighting in Israel, for sure.
Oh, yeah.
That's like part of the deal.
But the situation in both Israel and in Ukraine is like, these are arguably existential threats, right?
So like if the Palestinians had their way, there wouldn't be in Israel.
And if Russia has its way, they might take, you know, at least half of Ukraine. Oh, I mean, can I point out
that when I said 14 billion to Israel,
that includes to Palestine as well?
Right.
Yeah, because we're funding
both sides of that war.
Absolutely.
And we have been for ever.
Like clowns, like damn fools.
We're dumb as shit.
I mean, anybody who's watched
our foreign policy in the Middle East
for the last, I don't know,
three, four, five decades
knows that we always fund
both sides of every war. Then we never lose.'s so well schumer schumer schumer is saying the
children of of gaza will starve and like come on we all know when you send money to these ngos it
funnels up to hamas as soon as these resources go in hamas is the governing body they take it why
why are we playing this game and i'm not saying like pick a side i'm saying
neither yeah let's come back to america baby the fact that we're talking about it is so frustrating
because there is absolutely no legitimate reason for ukraine and israeli funding to be tied to
controlling our own border it's so god damn frustrating it just shows the lie right i mean
it shows the lie so clearly you don't't care about American sovereignty. You don't care about American
national security. They really don't care about our Americans. I mean, when I talk to liberals,
when I talk to conservatives, everyone's like, yeah, it's a little too much. This whole immigration
thing is too much. You have officials in New York saying it's going to destroy New York City,
and everyone's like, oh, let's just do that anyway. Let's destroy New York City.
Let me read this.
This is page 150 of the bill.
It says, judicial review.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this act, judicial review of any decision or action
in this section shall be governed only by the United States District Court for the District
of Columbia, which shall have sole and original jurisdiction to hear challenges, whether
constitutional or otherwise, to the validity of this section or any written policy directive, written policy guideline, procedure, or implementation thereof issued by or under the authority of the Secretary to implement this section.
Long story short, do you guys want to know what this bill is?
It's trying to corporatize the American government by giving diplomatic control to the federals. They're trying to make sure that Donald Trump will have no power to do anything about the border if he becomes president.
They said constitutional or otherwise, meaning we're going to do it whether it's constitutional or not if we sign this bill.
Well, and it's, I mean, listen, I'm not a lawyer.
Let's shout out because really, really quick.
Let's read that again.
It literally says whether constitutional or otherwise.
Yes.
Now, I'm not a lawyer and I'm not super versed in legalese, but I will say that sounds to me like we're giving full reign to D.C. to make.
Well, we're not.
Somebody's trying to.
Well, the thing, too, though, is D.C. already has full reign over a lot of stuff.
Like, we already know that biden didn't need a
border bill to do anything he signed all of this open border nonsense into executive orders and
various actions within his first couple of days in office you know that like huge numbers of border
measures saying we're going to increase the number of asylum seekers we're going to let in we're
going to give everybody a court date we're going to instead of remain of asylum seekers we're going to let in. We're going to give everybody a court date.
We're going to, instead of remain in Mexico, we have remained in the U.S. for as long as it takes.
And now this border bill, what it really does is it says we're going to get more border agents to process more people faster.
We're going to get more immigration judges to give more people asylum faster.
There's nothing good in there.
There's nothing good.
The record was 10 000 per day this says if it reaches 8 500 per day then we'll move the rest to a legal port
of entry what wait wait wait so there's no they're not saying they're going to stop them they're
saying after 8 500 the rest can go apply at a legal port of entry and it removes the requirement
for courts right in many circumstances well and you and you saw what Chris Murphy said, right?
Chris Murphy, who's one of the architects of the bill, said that under this bill, the
border never closes.
He said the border never closes.
So what kind of border security is this if we can't even close our own borders?
Well, here's the thing, too.
So I don't know if you saw this, but if you saw this bill, you'd be criticizing every
portion of this bill.
If it came across your desk and you actually had the time to read it before
well they're not yeah yeah but matt gates who you know for all intents and purposes is a pretty
decent guy most of the time on some of this stuff but he uh he came out and said he came out and he
said uh uh you know why don't we just defund un so we can uh fund israel i said i had to post to him i said i said matt you
realize this this this isn't israel right we don't live in israel you're the america first guy what
are you doing you know um but yeah it's this this whole bill is from front to back just terrible
we fund the un and the un hires a bunch of people that are linked to hamas and stationed and puts
them in gaza to distribute all of the aid to Hamas. But this is where we can find a compromise. How about we say, all right, 60 billion to Ukraine,
but no more funding to the UN ever. No funding to, you know, this is the last one. Like,
you tie it to something. What did I say? The general idea is you tie it to something in such
a way that it puts them in a position
they can't maintain.
We'll fund it.
We'll fund the wars that they want.
If we can bulldoze all of Washington, D.C.
Listen, 12 percent of the population.
12 percent.
OK, if we could pull those easy, I'm in.
No, but 12 percent of the of the population in the United States having problem put food
on the table today.
And we're sending 60 billion dollars to Ukraine.
Why?
Why?
It's it's this.
Well, because Chuck Schumer,
well, you saw Chuck Schumer,
he is threatening us.
Literally because it's money laundering.
It is money laundering.
And he threatened that if we don't do it,
then he's going to send our kids
to go fight in Eastern Europe.
Everybody that's in office now needs to get fired.
I wonder who.
November needs to be an absolute,
like it must be a massacre.
Everybody that's in office,
if you're an incumbent
metaphorical massacre i wonder i wonder who they got the help voting i mean you know we're talking
about the vote let me let me pull up this from the post-millennial chuck schumer demands border
never closes bill pass or else u.s troops will have to fight in ukraine let's let's we're gonna
break this down he did not literally say ukraine he said in Eastern Europe, in a NATO ally in a few years. And so it's vague enough. First, he could mean Poland. He could mean Sweden. I think it's fair to argue he might literally mean Ukraine in that the West wants to take control of it and would absolutely shove it to NATO if they had to. But he's basically saying Vladimir Putin is going to invade Europe.
And so we need this border security bill.
Who's border security?
Ukraine's.
It's a Ukraine border.
I want to know how my border got to Ukraine.
It's pretty bizarre.
Yeah.
You know, when we say, how did our freedoms get to the Middle East?
How did our border get to the Ukraine?
Who's we now?
Fire them all. Bulldoze DC. Salt the earth East? How did our border get to the... Who's we now? Fire them all.
Bulldoze DC.
Salt the earth.
I'm coming to believe this hypothesis.
At least I have the hypothesis that we are in a slow coup that's been going on for 100
years, man.
Slow?
It's like a banking...
Yeah, they're trying to do it not fast enough to alert the people.
JFK.
Like JFK, the Federal Reserve, the business plot.
There's so much.
There's so many foreign wars that are proxy wars we're with money getting
laundered away from our country and like i mean 9-11 even i could just go down a list of things
i find in my hypothesis that this is a news show i'm not going to do that on a news show but like
the last 10 years it's been like they're like make it don't alert them don't alert them just
let's get the money let's do the covid spending what they increased our budget by like 20 percent our deficit by like 20 percent
in like two years this look a soft coup i mean there i would actually suggest i i would ask
at what point does the government become the the functioning and in control government right
so uh taiwan the official name of tai is what the Republic of China, I believe. Correct. Yeah. And so many people make the joke that
communist China is just West Taiwan because the original government of China fled to Taiwan.
They've maintained themselves ever since resisting the communists. And so my question is,
at what point after the coup happened in the United States, Woodrow Wilson, who knows the
banker plot, the Federal Reserve.
1913.
Right.
So my point is simply this.
Maybe the revolution was Donald Trump.
Not that he is a perfect guy, not that he was the guy, but that he ripped the establishment's power in twain and they were losing their minds.
They're still losing it.
Absolutely.
And so when everyone's like they're trying to stage a coup, and I'm like, well, you know,
the thing is, the establishment was in control.
The Uniparty was in control.
Then a bunch of people on the internet made a bunch of memes, and the reality TV real estate mogul wins and says, don't do wars.
We're shutting it down.
Secure our borders.
And then they lose their minds.
Like, we've lost control of this.
That's why it's funny when they say our democracy.
They say Donald Trump is when they say our democracy they say donald trump is
a threat to our democracy they're literally saying that there's a populist uprising against
the autocratic control we've maintained for generations yep that's true it was um george
bush senior in the 90s said that we were moving towards a new world order this liberal economic
order was fading into something new a global order um and uh trump got into office and canceled the Trans-Pacific Partnership right away.
And that's exactly-
Three days in.
It was the, if you look at the investor state
dispute settlement clause
in that Trans-Pacific Partnership,
it said foreign countries, these investors,
these Malaysian oil companies
can sue a state for discrimination.
Right.
If we chose not to buy a Malaysian company's oil
as American citizens, they could sue our country.
And as taxpayers,
we would have had to pay a corporation out.
That's what that trans-Pacific partnership
was going to do to us.
And Obama was on board.
And then Trump came in and threw in the garbage.
I don't even know if he knew what it was,
what it was doing.
I don't know if he stopped something he understood.
He just knew there were a bunch of people outside
yelling Trump,
and they had expressed concerns about it.
Let's not fool ourselves
and act like there's not so much foreign influence today
still in the United States, though.
Of course, of course.
APEC's arguably one of the very strongest outside influences in the united states today and it's
you know and it's not good for us as as americans especially when you're american first person
but trump got an office and immediately hired john bolton so i mean the establishment thing
is kind of no no i think donald's not great at hiring donald trump it was really bad understand donald
trump thought he was like i'll play ball and i'll get done what i want to get done and they were
like no no no you don't understand you live under our boot you know they they the joke is you know
as soon as you win the election you sit down in the oval office guy from the cia sits down and
just hands him sits down to mr president opens a middle of folder and then slides a picture of jfk
right across the table and says, we'll be in touch,
and then leaves.
Right.
We get it. We get it.
Trump is the guy who was like, what is this?
I don't know what you're showing me.
Why are you showing me a picture of this guy?
And they're like, we're letting you know.
Letting me know what? I don't get it.
Too dumb to intimidate.
He doesn't understand what I'm trying to say to him.
He's like, look, we're going to secure the border.
We're shutting down.
There was no Mr. President.
We're not.
Yes, we are. I'm the boss.
And he doesn't listen.
Yeah.
So what do I think is when when Trump was running?
I remember I was in D.C.
Trump had a meeting with a bunch of establishment Republicans.
They did not want him.
The Democrats wanted to be the Pied Piper candidate.
Trump, I think, genuinely wants to secure the borders, bring jobs back.
That goes against their agenda.
And so he thinks when he gets in now, I'm the president.
I've got to play ball with some of
these guys i gotta you know there's favors we'll bring in john bolton i think sheldon
adelstein wanted a lot of a lot a lot of favors absolutely and so then what happens
russiagate and trump i think finally realizes bro you are being tricked manipulated and lied to and
you brought in a bunch of dumb asses i don't i
question whether or not there is whether there are people in available to fill the positions
that are not currently like already steeped in the bureaucracy right like there are a lot of
positions that have to be filled and i don't know who you go with that's actually someone that's not
you know that's not already
got their significant connections
to the existing bureaucracy
just because...
But Bolton is like...
The worst of the worst.
In order to hire John Bolton,
Trump had to drive past
a local prison, drive
past a city dump,
all better people, and go way down
to the Pacific garbage
gyre, where he got a submersible
and went down to where all the deepest trenches of garbage
have sunk, and dig even deeper
than that, and there's John Bolton.
We could have dug up the corpse of Madeleine Albright
and it would have been the same thing, essentially.
And so, yeah, it's terrible.
So that was what worries me about Trump, too,
right? Like, in 2024, should Trump win? Is it the same thing gonna happen? No, it's terrible. And so that was what worries me about Trump, too. Right. Like in 2024, should Trump win is like, is it the same thing going to happen?
And it was.
Yeah.
And then that's great.
And I get that.
But my concern is that a lot of my young Republican friends, because I have a lot of friends that are Republicans, tons of friends that are very excited about Trump because of who the VP pick might be.
And I think everybody's like, oh, it's got to be somebody like vivek or somebody like uh christy gnome or somebody like that and i'm like you realize that like 80 part of the 80 percent
of the gop is still like deeply entrenched like neocons and they have to play to that part of the
party not the seven percent like vivek it would be really funny if trump just like came out and
was like i've chosen my vp john bolton i think's going to be somebody along the lines of Nikki Haley.
I really believe that.
I think it might be Tucker, man.
I'll put it simply for those that don't know.
John Bolton has a long history of working in administrations and just wanting war.
And so he had a quote.
I think this was during the Trump administration.
He said something like, this time next year, we will be celebrating in Tehran.
And so he is just a neocon maximalist warmonger character.
Nikki Haley ain't got nothing on the war
he wants. Trump hiring him was a mistake.
And then Bolton stabbed him in the back.
You could do the higher cabinet of a bunch
of successful businessmen. At this point, it's like
the founders did. The founding fathers were a bunch of
successful businessmen that got together and started and
ran a government together because they knew
how to run things. And they weren't entrenched
in the garbage.
Elon Musk for VP.
I mean, if you're talking about getting... Well, he's not born in America.
If you're talking about getting people
that are actually going to satisfy
supposedly the other side of the aisle,
the last people they're going to be satisfied with
are people that are CEOs and board members of companies.
Dude, you can't satisfy the other side of the aisle.
I would agree with that.
We were talking about this downstairs because this song came on by Passion Pit.
And there's a line, he has a song called I Took a Walk.
And there's a line in the song where it says, we can rip apart all the socialists and all their damn taxes.
And the left went nuts over the song, attacking the band and criticizing it.
It was like a cancel culture thing for having dared said that and that the point of the song though is it's about the feelings of like his
elder his relatives and it's it's quotes from them and things they have said he's not literally
saying he hates socialism he's just saying like this is what the older guy said to him but the
left doesn't care what's true they don't care about the point of the statement or the message. It's just,
it's surface level. It's, it's, it's one, one dimensional thinking.
So if you want to satisfy these people, I mean, we were talking about this, uh, uh, uh, just before the show. And I mentioned it in the morning segment about this guy. I was playing a poker
and he had Trump derangement syndrome down in DC. And I realized something, my girlfriend had said,
he was, he was was he was muttering
to himself he was screaming how could you vote for trump he would not listen to a single word
he asked me to name one thing trump did that i liked i said no new wars he keeps muttering
he's like you can't even name one thing i'm like abraham accords he keeps muttering and i'm like
this guy can't hear a word he's just sitting there so stupid these people are so dumb and stupid
and then my girlfriend's like he doesn't know what the abraham accords are and i was like uh
there's no way for him to respond at all because he doesn't to what that means because he doesn't
know you can't satisfy these people because they live in a they live in a shoebox but arguably
besides the no new wars thing the best thing trump did was like make people extreme on the
corporate news media being the enemy of the people. I mean, that's the greatest thing that Trump did.
And it was hilarious watching him work.
I mean, just, you know, the way that he's able to just troll people in real life is
amazing.
Like, that's great.
I love that.
But I do worry about Trump too and what that means for, you know, the people who get their
hopes up for a lot of stuff and then it doesn't happen.
In 2020, less than half a million people came across the border and were apprehended.
It was less than half a million.
Yeah.
Illegal immigrants.
In 2020?
In 2020.
What can you really expect from Donald Trump, too?
Like, what is it that you think people are expecting?
I think, well, I think people, first of all, the VP spot.
I think that a lot of people are going to be let down when we find out who the VP is.
But that's not even when he's president.
Let's say he gets elected and I don't know. And, you know, people are like, oh, it's going to be somebody great. I'm like a lot of people are going to be let down when we find out who the VP is. But that's not even when he's president. Let's say he gets elected and
I don't know. And people are like, oh, it's going to be somebody
great. I'm like, do you remember who his VP
was last time? I know.
So let's say it's Trump-Bergum.
I'm just picking the least probable candidate.
What do people think?
What do you
perceive as the hopes and dreams? I think on the
extreme side, it's that all these people are going to go to
jail, right? This is the revenge tour we're gonna
we're gonna lock up all these corrupt people and and shut down the border and we're gonna end all
the wars and we're gonna you know give all the tax cuts but that's what a lot of people think
but no no no but like first i can locking people up and arresting everybody maybe some people might
get some referrals you don't think that some people won't get arrested?
I sure hope so.
I don't think it's going to be like military tribunals where they go up to the Clintons or anything.
I think it's going to be like we're going to hear about lawyers and we're going to hear about election officials.
There's going to be criminal charges brought up by.
I mean, could you imagine if Kash Patel was the AG?
Right.
There would be criminal charges.
I don't think it's going to be like
this apocalyptic thing ending wars well donald trump is the best president in my lifetime on
on foreign on foreign war and pulling our troops out of afghanistan setting the deadline for it i
should say biden screwed that up trying to get our troops out of syria and uh no new wars kind of
expanded the syrian war though a little bit when he did that, too, right? When he tried to get our troops out?
Yeah.
How so?
Didn't we send him a bunch more cash right after that happened?
I mean, if we're leaving, and like, if you came to me and said, we're going to pull our,
here's what Trump wants to do, he wants to get all our troops out of Syria, and then
we'll give Syria some cash.
It's like, okay.
But he didn't pull the troops out.
No, no, no.
He did.
He gave the order, and then the officials lied to the American people, to him, and kept them in.
Fair.
Right.
That's messed.
Look, if the only thing I could be offered was vote for Donald Trump, he will take a dump on the floor of the White House, but he won't start a war.
I'll take it.
Done.
Yeah, that is a better deal.
I mean, considering how many people are taking dumps
on the floor i mean to be honest like joe biden is like he'll dump on the floor in his pants in
in the you know everywhere he goes he'll have to change his pants several times he'll start
several wars and i'm like well there's no upside that yeah well also none of us are stupid enough
to believe that joe biden is actually leading the foreign policy in the united states right now
right dude is a mess he's. They just did a poll.
They just put out a poll where only 23% of the respondents said that they think his mental
capacity is good enough to be the president again.
And that's, I mean, I think that's high.
I think 23% is high, but that's really low in a poll for this country.
Well, you heard what Bill Maher was saying.
Gavin Newsom's a winner.
He can win an election.
Sure.
Joe Biden.
Man. gavin newsom's a winner he can win an election sure uh joe biden man you know the argument from the desantis people that the only reason or one of the main reasons they don't want trump is trump
is a loser he's gonna lose everyone hates him and uh it is true the only reason joe biden won
is because people vote against donald trump i take that back not the only reason a a good factor and
why biden actually got votes was not because anyone liked biden but the strong factor in why biden won was because activists went out and collected ballots because they mailed
ballots to people and then people were told how to vote well i i'm telling you listen and then
they told us that wasn't happening the united states is really big on politicians failing
upwards we've known this forever and coming from california i watched gavin newsom brew in san
francisco san francisco used to be a really beautiful city when I was a kid, and he ruined it.
He destroyed it.
And instead of going, hey, that guy really ruined one of our coolest cities in the state.
Let's get rid of him.
We said, let's make him the governor of the state.
And so we can have a Pumaps for all of California.
And next, who knows?
Maybe the country.
Maybe the world.
Why stop there?
Mars needs more.
Well, there was an article written several years ago that i had
covered california is five years ahead of the united states uh over the past several decades
whatever happens in california five years later is national and so they talk about a bunch of
policies you know a gay marriage was a big issue in california things like that uh illegal
immigration sanctuary cities became sanctuary states for uh sanctuary state for trans kids well california had sanctuary cities which then turned
into a sanctuary state and then all of a sudden you start seeing it spread across the country
and i i think it has a lot to do with the undue influence they have through illegal immigration
sure they get extra votes yeah oh yeah there's no doubt yeah they have some some members of uh
congress have said it's between five and seven extra congressional seats, which is five to seven extra electoral college votes for president because of non-citizens.
They have illegally allowed into their country and defiance of federal law.
Well, in under Trump, Trump said that the census should be should differentiate between people who are here illegally and citizens who are, you know, obviously lawful citizens. And
that's what he was aiming for. And Biden reversed that within his first few days in office.
And of course, the reason is to get more congressional seats for Democrat led
states that allow all that illegal immigration. I want to jump to the story from the Anchorage
Daily News. February 3rd, Alaska National Guard plans deployment to assist federal government on U.S.-Mexico border.
I love it.
I posted an image of this and someone said, who knew Alaska was so based?
And everyone responded, Alaska assisting the feds is not based.
So the gist of the story is this.
They're deploying a couple aircraft and 20 personnel to assist with the aircraft.
They say it's routine. This is, they say,
Major Ryan Wiersbicki,
a spokesman for the U.S. Army's Joint Task Force North,
said in a phone interview that Alaska Guard members
would be sent to any of four states along
the border, including Texas and Arizona.
Federal requests for states to provide border
assistance are issued regularly and have become
routine. Now, I tweeted about this somewhat
facetiously. I said,
what do you call it when
a national guard is called up to go against another state's national guard and i got community
community noted on x where it took selective uh excerpts from the article to obfuscate what's
actually happening it said they are not going against each other i'm like i asked the question
intentionally right to you know not to state it definitively but it is true these these individuals will be providing assistance to cbp in texas as well as
but that does mean texas that does mean part of their deployment will put them up against texas
i don't know how else to describe it if texas national guard is saying no to cbp back the f
off and you have no jurisdiction here or we've cut you off from your jurisdiction. How in any way could you interpret any amount of National Guard being
called in by the feds to a variety of states, which include Texas, anything other than they
will be as part of the deployment against Texas National Guard? They also said it's a routine
thing. Many people responded saying it's totally routine it's not that big a deal yo it
says in the article the last time they did this was 2019 five years ago is not routine no now
i'm not saying joe biden got on the phone and said we need to bring the national guard into
to stop texas i'm saying it's a grain of sand and a heap and the question is is this the most
tone-deaf move you could possibly make when the texas national guard has deployed armed
soldiers to physically remove and bar federal agents from removing border barriers or was it
an intentional cbp needs assistance because of what is happening with look i'll put it this way
i don't care what state they go to cbp and texas are completely at odds as to how to operate this when we had uh
we've had people who have reported on the ground at the border tell us when taylor hansen was here
he said tens of thousands of people it's chaos there's litter what happened after texas took
over three yeah he said he said four four to six maybe and i said thousand it was no no no four to
six like four five or six and i was like you mean like on my finger for yeah four people i'm like when what so when cbp is
facilitating human smuggling and then texas steps in what do you think it's going to mean that texas
the alaska national guard is assisting them it means these people these individuals who are providing assistance with
with aviation to the cbp will be at odds with the mission of the texas national guard that's a fact
and i'll and i'll give you one more let me see if i can find this uh i had this i'm surprised
alaska would send them to be honest and dunley because it's i mean that state kind of already
hates the fed anyways they're like they're like, that's like one of those states that's actually pretty anti-federal.
I had this story pulled up, I lost it, but it's,
the Border Patrol Union supports the new border bill.
Yeah, because they're getting, yeah, there's a lot of pay increases and stuff for border guards in there.
But the border bill, as we've previously, as we covered in a previous segment,
does not have any security at all.
It codifies 8,500 criminal aliens
entering the country every day
and gives them the funding
and it gives them more authority
to adjudicate asylum claims without a judge.
So of course they're for it.
Do we want, let's say this law,
look, they're planning on having this law probably pass.
I doubt it'll happen, but if it did,
and CBP is now in the legal,
has legislatively legislatively
been given the right to bring in five to eight thousand criminal aliens every day and in some
instances determine their asylum cases just right there and they get work permits alaskan national
guard is going to be helping them do that and that's still three million illegals uh illegal
immigrants a year by the way which is not a huge drop in what we're seeing currently so it's it's not it's not good
none of this is accepted no I mean it also though I mean the the the border
bill also has an increase in pay for asylum and border agents yeah the big
part of it so I'll point this out to in the community note it said it has
nothing to do with operation Lone Star. That's exactly my point. Operation Lone Star is Texas's operation securing the border.
This mobilization has nothing to do with that. It has to do with supporting customs and border protection in what they do, which is the opposite of Operation Lone Star.
And so they are trying really hard to downplay this move being being made i think we have to
point this out because alaskan governor mike dunleavy actually joined 24 other gop governors
in support of greg abbott why now would he be like okay i guess no no we put pressure on them
and say don't you dare i don't care if it's one five or twenty i don't care if it's 200 we should say no cbp is facilitating human trafficking do not send support
yep it's all for show though did you see what abbott said he said that there had been three to
four thousand people coming across in a day and now it's gone down to three yeah that's wild that's
what you that's what taylor handsome was telling us. Taylor has gone down. Shout out to Tenant Media.
He reports for Tenant.
Taylor was saying that he was there during the peak of the crisis.
There's garbage and thousands of people.
And then once Texas takes over, four.
That's wild.
If I understand correctly, they have moved the locations to places in New Mexico and Arizona.
They've started to go into other states.
Which also makes sense for this deployment.
Texas, look, Texas is at odds with CBP.
They have put up barriers in Operation Lone Star
shipping containers with razor wire all over them.
So the criminal enterprise is shifting operations
to other parts of Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona.
So what?
Alaska National Guard is going to go help
the human smugglers, CBP, at the border in Arizona?
That is still working against this country.
It's worse than just working against Texas.
Yeah, and so the 10th Amendment gives Texas the right to handle their own border situation anyways.
I mean, at the end of the day—
The border bill would get rid of that.
Yes, exactly.
And that's the goal.
I think that's the goal. Because the 10th Amendment gives them the right.
And what they've moved the deadline on the cutoff deadline from Biden.
What?
Three times now has been like three times.
They can't do anything.
They can't do anything.
The Constitution gives Texas the right to guard their own borders.
They could guard their borders from any illegal invasion that they want to because it's not mentioned that that power is strictly given to the federal government.
So what does the 10th amendment say?
It says that that anything not mentioned expressly for the federal government
here in the constitution is actually,
what is it?
Article four,
section four states that the federal government must defend from invasion.
Sure.
Yeah.
Now you got,
now you got this bill that the national guard can respond with lethal force on
the border,
but they can litigate.
They can litigate what is an invasion all day long for years and years.
My point is, when you've got photos and videos of human traffickers with rifles to the point where a Republican has proposed a bill that would allow the National Guard to use lethal force against these individuals, I'm like, I kind of think when they're smuggling humans with weapons into our country, and many of them are flying the flag of their home country and like they have guns i would call that an invasion sure did you guys see brett weinstein
tucked to tucker carlson he went down to the darien gap which is this area south of i think
southern panama between the most dangerous like 60 miles of jungle where this is like where most
people meet their maker when they're trying to flee here they go through the dairy i don't most
but a lot of people die in that jungle and uh he said he saw camps lots of camps and they were very friendly
one in particular very friendly and they let him in and he was talking to people there they're
fleeing economics they're not fleeing political asylum there's economic asylum which is not
u.s government first of all it's not supposed to take people for economic asylum it's not a real
thing because it displaces our own economics secondly then brett's like yo and then i went
to this camp and it was a chinese camp and they wouldn't let us anywhere near it and they were what i would call hostile
wow so what i think is happening is that there is an economic migration happening but it's masking
an invasion think of it like this i think that's i think there's a good chance of that yeah there's
something that people don't are that we don't talk about or people don't bring up much that i
heard someone discussing today was the one child policy in china that went on from the 70s i think it was until like just a couple
years until recently there are you know probably a couple and i'm probably not exaggerating but i
don't know for sure but i imagine it's probably a couple hundred million young men with no that have
nothing to do and no women china needs to do something with these guys
because women were aborted on top of everything else little girls were aborted before they could
be born yeah and and so these guys young men that have nothing to do they start civil wars they
start they cause all the problems societies run into it's always young men that have nothing to
do and don't have women
they don't have families they don't want to clarify for we got it we got a super chat so i
want to give some clarification because they're pointing out that it says potentially deployed
in early 2025 i i i think it's important people know that but i don't think it changes anything
that we're we're talking about right now it's it's it's tone deaf right now to make this
announcement and the other thing we talked about early in this segment is the point of the border security bill uh one strong point is that and and why they're starting
wars they want to make sure that whatever happens if donald trump gets elected they steamroll through
what they want with or without him and lock him in place so he can't change anything about it
announcing this deployment early means that if trump does get in office he'll have a harder time
stopping it from happening.
Can we talk about how crazy it is that we're bombing Iraq again for 33 years and we want to open the border completely?
I mean, we've destabilized so many regions in the Middle East and we're like, yeah, come on in.
It's totally cool.
No one's going to worry.
And also when people come in, right, we have this part of our culture now is to tell everyone that america sucks and
everything that america stands for is bad and that the culture whose culture that's part of
american culture not my culture that's part of the culture of the nation in which we were born
and raised that's that has that culture has been taken over by really bad actors who hate america
and hate american revolution it's a cultural revolution. And so we have people coming in and you have all of these progressives saying your culture
is better than ours.
So don't bother assimilating.
Don't learn English.
Don't learn our values.
Don't become part of our culture.
And that's not how it used to be when you had like the Ellis Island.
You could call them what they are.
They're communists.
It's the communists that did that.
You guys love poker tables.
It is.
You will get kicked out for speaking any other language but English.
I have fun hanging out watching you guys play poker.
I've had fun.
Yuri Bezmenov warned us of this in the 80s.
I mean, he defected from Russia and said, hey, the communists are taking over every
single one of your institutions, your libraries, your schools, your government, your hospitals,
all of the not-for-profits. Mental health care.
What about the banks?
Publishing.
But the only reason that matters.
Have they overtly taken over the banks?
Probably, yeah.
The only reason it matters that they did this is that we no longer go to church.
But to be fair, the communists are taking over a lot of churches, too.
Yeah, that, too.
I mean, there's a church right up the street from my house
hanging a giant rainbow flag in front of the church.
What is that? Liberation theology. Yeah, I'm like, what are you guys a church right up the street from my house hanging a giant rainbow flag in front of the church. I said, what is that?
Liberation theology.
Yeah, I'm like, what are you guys,
what are you worshiping here, man?
I mean, this is not.
I don't know.
I moved to West Virginia and the church I go to is full.
Yeah, I'm converting Orthodox currently
because they're like the one church
that hasn't cucked to the communists yet.
Do you go to that one that's like downtown Charlestown?
I don't want to say on air.
Oh, okay. Where do you go to church at? See you there. Yeah, that's like downtown Charlestown? I don't want to say on air.
Oh, okay.
Where do you go to church at?
See you there.
Yeah, there's one that Seamus. See you every Sunday with my child.
Right.
Seamus would go there and really nice.
And I told the story of how like we were going to go grab food and Seamus was like, yeah,
I got church and I'll be at it this time.
I was like, cool, meet up.
And, you know, I show up with my brother and I'm just wearing my clothes. And I see these like little kids playing and they're dressed very nicely.
And I was like, man, something got lost. Yes. You know, and it's not about, in my opinion,
it's not about being Christian and believing in God. Although I think there's a strong
correlation between these things. Community is huge. Community and what's the right word?
I guess decorum in a sense.
Decorum, community, manners, feeling like you're part of something.
Like the church I went to in Brooklyn where I really liked the, you know, I liked the
other people there.
I taught CCD there and I liked them, but they, but they.
What does that mean?
Sorry, CCD.
CCD.
I forget what it's called called but it's basically where
you teach your teach the kids catholicism and they go through all the sacraments so they start
young and they go through catechism yeah they you go through for orthodox church too yeah you go
through all the sacraments you have like you know ccd so you can get confirmed as an adult in the
church yeah but like you do you have to do it for Orthodox Church. Confession and communion and confirmation and blah, blah, blah.
But it was very like there was a Spanish mass that had all the families at it.
And there were a ton of kids and the whole mass was in Spanish.
And then you had the English mass, which was just a lot of old people and hardly any kids.
And we don't speak Spanish, you know, so much the pity, I guess. And we would walk out of mass and like all the kids and we don't speak spanish you know so much the pity i guess
and we would walk out of mass and like all the families and kids were coming in and like we
weren't part of that mass and i found it really frustrating and i would say to the you know i
would say to the leadership of the church we should do one giant bilingual mass and parts of it are in
spanish and parts of it are in english and they'd be like well we won't all understand what's going on and i'm like we it doesn't matter
if we know what's going on or not the only thing that matters is that my kids and your kids are
all hanging out you know trying to get in trouble playing under the pews that's all that matters
that's what matters and that's the only thing i'm doing to get in trouble right that's great
you know like my son recently got in trouble because he was at ccd and it turned out um it turned out that he and his friend cut mass like they do ccd and then
they have mass and the mom my son's friend's mom called and was very upset that the boys had cut
mass and i i'm thinking like yes that's important they should not cut mass that's a problem i'm also
thinking this is great this is great like this is what you're doing you are rebelling by cutting mass i'm thrilled in brooklyn
like what are you doing you're like getting high on the street corner and robbing people
here you're cutting mass this is perfect deal yeah well i'll say this before before i move on um
i hope he's not watching i've been i've been uh i've been saying this for a while you know the
communists the two things they have to be at war with all the time is a strong family unit and faith, right?
Because when you have those strong ideals in your family or in your church community, then you don't just automatically cut to the communists.
You don't say, oh, we need this collectivism to save us, right?
What was it, video games or TV?
Because it was like the 90s when things started to fall apart.
Because that's when people started to go.
When I started to go inward,
I could play a game by myself for 10 hours alone without talking to someone.
I had books before that,
but if I ever played with toys like Legos or micro machines,
I,
it was way better to have a second person to play with a book.
Obviously I was always alone and it didn't make me communist,
but video games made me very disconnected from human.
And then a lot of online games,
it's not about being kind.
It's about like talking shit online.
Well, that's what the schoolyard is too.
The kids are talking shit.
The mid 2000s,
the online stuff's not too bad.
Is it video games?
I don't want to blame them.
I don't think it is video games.
Why are people so disconnected?
It's in the schools.
It was all of the stuff,
all of the socialization stuff, all of the stuff all of the the socialization stuff all
of the the basically all the socialist influence that we have now it's all in the schools it started
in the 80s and and that was when it first kind of took root peggy mcintosh's yeah in 1989 uh what's
his name paulo frieri and and uh the pedigree what is and the Pedagogy of the Oppressed and stuff.
All of that trash.
All of this stuff became the predominant way that teachers learn.
So this stuff got into the schools that teach teachers.
So that means that every teacher.
All those teachers went all over the country.
So they're in Oklahoma.
Exactly.
And so these teachers are the teachers that teach the teachers, right?
So you get it at the very source.
You get them into an ideology that is based on an oppression, oppressor-oppressed dynamic.
And you can apply that however you want.
You can apply it by race.
You can apply it by gender.
You can apply it by any way you want but once you get that framework into
the education of an of an entire generation it just starts pumping out people that are
ideologically possessed that have the same worldview which is people it is our job it
is government's job it is our jobs it is society's job to make things equal and that's why you get people that
want equity you want to have people that have equal to equal outcomes and that's just turns
into socialism let's jump to this story we got some sports kita some libs are waking up internet
reacts as comic michael rapaport says voting for trump is on the table after seeing migrants beat
nypd i want to i just want to say this real quick.
I can't remember who tweeted it.
It might have been Michael Malice,
so apologies if I don't get the attribution right.
But someone said,
imagine what it must feel like to be in the corporate press
where after nearly a decade of calling Donald Trump
a fascist, far-right, white supremacist,
you find that most people in this country
intend to vote for him.
I saw that.
That was Cernovich.
That was Cernovich.
Maybe not.
I know what you're talking about.
I know.
So it's a great point to be made.
The power of the media narrative is gone.
They can say whatever they want about Trump.
Nobody cares.
And now you've got Michael Rapaport, who spends his time or spend his time complaining online
about big dick Donald Trump.
That's what he would say over and over again.
And now he's made a video saying voting for him is on the table.
And it's because it's a really fun video.
It is.
It's a bunch of issues.
But mostly this past week, you got illegal.
You got criminal aliens beating cops.
Let me start over.
You got criminal aliens mercilessly
beating nypd and michael rapaport in midtown and they get arrested and are released right away
alvin bragg who has charged donald trump with like 30 something felonies won't even say what
the felonies are released these guys and he was like oh we couldn't tell from the video exactly
who they were but did you see this thing tim mcconnell is now saying don't don't don't vote for the bill mcconnell's saying don't
vote yeah it's really bad mcconnell's saying that mcconnell is telling republicans to block the
langford schumer borderless bill we'll jump to that but let me let me let me play the michael
rapaport video i don't know is it too crude let's? Let's... Oh, it's fun. I think he's funny.
I think he's a funny guy.
This is why when I say
voting for pig
Donald Trump is on the table.
Voting for pig
Donald Trump is on the table.
Wait, wait.
Why is he censoring dick?
The other day in New York City,
six illegal aliens
jumped a New York City cop
in my PD's finest.
They jumped a New York City cop in my PD's finest. They jumped a New York City cop in Times Square and were arrested and released without bail.
I know it's a city thing.
I know it's a state thing.
I know all that.
I know all that.
I know all that.
Okay?
Stay with me.
They were released without bail.
Came out of the courtroom on some Tupac raising the middle finger with the Detroit Red Wings
jerseys.
What the fuck is the world coming to?
If you could be from another country, beat up a cop in New York City and walk out with
no bail.
What the fuck is the world coming to?
What the fuck?
Dude, he's right.
Yeah, Alan Bragg needs to be impeached.
But this is not just like some cops got to fight.
Dude, I have seen Occupy activists push a cop and get assault on an officer charges,
and they're in deep trouble.
These people, like Michael Rapaport has come from another country,
assault officers, and ain't no big deal.
I said it last time I was on your show, and I'm going to say it again.
One of two things is happening here with Michael Rappaport.
Either A, the Biden campaign stopped paying him,
but we have McConnell saying not to vote for this bill,
and Michael Rappaport saying that voting for Donald Trump is on the table.
Maybe the adrenochrome supply has run out
and these people are starting to come back to real life.
Maybe it's true.
I think that that's probably the case.
Reason is not an accident.
Reasonable people are the reason this country exists.
It's definitely not adrenochrome, Ian.
It's not adrenochrome.
The reason is taking hold of these people.
This is why I said that line about,
imagine what it must be like to be a corporate journalist
who for a decade said Trump was a fascist white supremacist.
And today, people intend on voting for the guy.
More than half the country.
That's why, you know, I love telling the story about the dude I met in D.C. who had Trump derangement syndrome.
Because part of me, next time I encounter something like this, I'm not going to try and argue with the guy, give a point.
I'm just going to say, I'm on the right side of history.
That's what I'm going to say to him.
I'm going to say, I'm on the right side of history.
You're on the wrong side of history. That's what I'm going to say to him. I'm going to say, I'm on the right side of history. You're on the wrong side of history.
We got the polls.
So you're in the weird minority of weirdos
who don't watch the news.
I don't know what you're going on about.
Michael Rapaport,
if he's saying it,
wow, we won.
Think about,
yeah, like, I mean,
to Tim's point,
like think about how many people,
like when they get into the voting booth
and they're, you know,
they've got their, you know,
they're alone, they'll actually vote for Donald Trump, right? They would never admit it. But when they actually got into the voting booth and they're you know they've got their you know they're alone
they'll actually vote for donald trump right they they would never admit it but when they actually
got into the booth they they'd actually check for donald trump if people like you know like this guy
are making articulating that it's oh acceptable to conceive of yourself voting for donald trump
i feel like there's probably a lot
of people that that this gives them permission you know i mean people that don't feel confident
in the permission to vote for trump exactly because now like now i can someone else said
it i can do this and and he noticed too it's not just me i'm not crazy maybe john donald trump
that's that's what i think a lot of people feel so the next time i'm at a poker table and some
guy with trump derangement syndrome starts yelling at me,
I'm just going to go, listen, I'm going to tell
you why voting for pig dick Donald Trump
is on the table because New York
City's finest were beat up.
Let's play the rest of the video.
What the f*** is the world?
I know, Mayor Adams,
you're from Brownsville, Brooklyn.
I know this f***. What the f***
have I gotten myself into?
Stay with me.
On the same day that that happens, cadaver Joe Biden issues an executive order about
four quote unquote settlers in Judea, Samaria, aka the West Bank.
Some troublemakers, three of the four have already been arrested.
You issue an executive order about four troublemaking f***ups who've already been arrested in Judea, Samaria,
while there's a war going on, while there's 100 plus hostages still being held in Gaza.
You're talking about that, but you got nothing to say about beating up cops
in New York City,
the greatest city on earth.
Maybe it's not.
Maybe my city is not
the greatest city on earth anymore.
Maybe.
Whoa.
Here's the important thing.
He's wearing a Star of David.
One of the things
that really shifted Repapur
was the Israel-Hamas conflict.
And when he's coming out and being like, why is Joe Biden more concerned with the West Bank instead of our cops?
That's like, that's a huge deal.
Yeah, crap.
Like the first thing came out was what's going on with these activists who are anti-Israel.
Now he's actually like, yeah, I care about Israel, but this year is more important.
He's being pushed further and further. i want to give him a shout out last time we talked about him he had that he has that
really funny video where he gets hit now with a snowball funniest video online i know it's one of
the best because he's self-aware i think he's a funny guy and i respect it what if the whole thing
was just a troll it was the the video of him getting up the snow no i mean prior to that
all the shit about him you know hating the right and big dick donald trump and all
that what if it's all just a big giant it would be great if he just came out really calm like i
just want to say to everybody that i i never really hated trump i just thought it was funny
to yell and make fun of them and i'm voting for him and thank you so much and they put some
after this video i'm almost positive that they took his bag away he's not he's not getting money
for the biden anymore, for sure.
But yeah,
one of the big points,
takeaways of this was
he's actually mad
that Joe Biden
focused too much on Israel.
That's the crazy thing.
You guys hear about
Biden saying Netanyahu
is a bad dude or whatever?
Yeah.
He's trying to win
these votes back.
Yeah, I think that was
clearly leaked
just to try and appease
the progressive left
and get them back on. See, I think Netanyahu is just to try and appease the progressive left and get them back on.
See, I think Netanyahu's not amazing, too, you guys, right?
We're all on the same team still, you know.
He's a bad dude.
Come on, man.
Run some bad boys.
But I think that was such an obvious, dumb leak, purposeful.
I think once you've won over Michael Rapaport, it's like, that's it.
But this is actually, it's a good point.
You were saying, Phil, about giving permission, because I made the joke about being at the table and saying, you know, next time in public, I'll say something like that.
But I guarantee there's probably a lot of guys who are default liberal, don't pay that much attention, but have been given permission.
Now they can still insult Trump, but they can be like, yeah, pig dick, Donald Trump.
You know, but I got to be like, yeah, pig, Dick, Donald Trump, you know, but I gotta be honest,
man,
I got my vote for him because dude,
like Joe Biden and he's a cadaver.
You know what I mean?
And they can't,
they,
they're not going to be able to put Joe Biden up in this,
in this election.
Something's going to change soon.
What did they give him?
I mean,
who would they put up instead?
Everybody hates Kamala and she only has one phrase.
You know,
you know who it is.
It's going to be the,
the antichrist Newsome from California. That's who I think. You got to, there's It's going to be the Antichrist, Newsom from California.
You think he's the Antichrist for real?
There's got to be a way to get around Kamala, though.
And Kamala is literally kryptonite to a white male progressive.
Yeah.
What is he going to say?
How is he really?
But she makes absolutely no sense.
It doesn't matter.
It does not matter.
Look, everyone knows that she is the worst, absolute worst person the Democrats
could possibly field.
But at the same time, they can't do anything with her.
They can't attack her.
She's the first woman.
She's got multiracial.
Multiracial.
I mean, she is untouchable.
And if you do, she absolutely will turn it on you and call you, you're the racist, you're the blah, blah, blah.
She will use that at the drop of a hat.
I think that's done.
I think that's done.
I don't think anybody cares.
Not on the left, it's not.
I don't think anybody cares about being called a racist anymore.
Kamala Harris withheld evidence when she worked in San Francisco.
She withheld evidence that kept somebody on death row that she knew was innocent.
There's a lot of black progressives who hate Kamala Harris because she locked up more black
people based on crap evidence.
But she also purposely withheld evidence knowing that somebody was innocent to keep him on
death row.
None of that matters.
None of that matters to the left at all.
I don't even think that she has the ability to see what can be never mind being unburdened by
what i believe it's gonna be newsome i do i really believe that he's gonna do something i don't see
i just tell me how they get him how do they how do they get her out of the way tell me how they do it
and maybe because i don't think that newsome like i think that newsome is is far more of a threat
to not only to the united states but to the to like don Donald Trump and to Republicans. But how do you get him into the position to run?
Well, you'd have to get her to resign,
but she's power hungry.
She only had 3% of the vote
when she was running on the Democratic ticket,
when she was trying to get that ticket.
Yeah.
Like I said, 3%.
I don't think that Kamala Harris is good,
but I just don't see the path to get her into the position.
We'll jump to this story from CBS News.
RFK Jr. mulls running for president as libertarian as he struggles with ballot access.
Tell him he has to get nude to do it.
I will say this i have uh i have heard some people
who are uh libertarian party members associated with the mises caucus nothing from high up just
mutterings from you know regular folks that this is their big push and they really do want this
yeah i'm curious is is it true what's going on yeah i believe it is i believe they do want it
whether whether they want him to get the nomination or not they definitely want him to jump in and
shake up the the election there's no doubt about it I think I've seen grumblings from several people in the Mises caucus, including my good friend. And I just made a video about this, five-minute video about this that I put out in public, so it's not like I'm saying anything that I haven't said. But I think that Heiss and Angela, the chair of the Libertarian Party as well, we've seen her make comments that show support for an RFK libertarian run. And
the problem is, is I don't think, or I don't think RFK can get our, our delegates to vote
for him and make him. He's not a libertarian. Well, he's terrible on every issue except for
one. I mean, really he's been, what's the one good issue? Oh, the healthcare freedom stuff.
I mean, the guy's healthcare freedom. Yeah. He's a, he's a medical malpractice lawyer. I mean,
that's what he, that's what he does. Right. So like he came from, you know, litigating these
really high profile medical malpractice cases.
And so, of course, libertarians are like, yeah, healthcare freedom.
But he's like the Homer Simpson meme with all the fat pinned up behind him, you know,
where it's like, and socialist monetary policies, and he's an eco-fascist, and he hates guns.
And he wants to rename Columbus Day to Indigenous People's Day.
Oh, jeez.
And he said directly, if the house were to bring him
a bill banning the second amendment he'd be happy to sign it well he said that how did he how did
that come out he publicly has said that what was the what was the like he's been anti-gay forever
listen this guy's this guy's an old school progressive i mean not progressive he's an
old school kennedy democrat he's good on a couple of things he does he does hate the the deep state
the soul i don't believe that he knows what the deep state is.
When did he say that?
I'm trying. I've seen it
a million times, though. Let's see.
Look up Kennedy.
I'd be happy to sign Second Amendment.
Considering
the performance that he just had
on Dave Smith's podcast. Three months ago.
Vows to respect Second Amendment
and not take it.
You know, yada yada.
Gun control cannot meaningfully reduce gun violence.
Comes out against gun control in June.
All of them are basically
anti-gun control.
But he is a liberal on them.
I mean, I suppose the issue is
if he said years ago
something like that,
it's important to bring that up.
Well, he's been saying that stuff
for a long time.
Right, it's important to bring that up.
And now that he's running
and he knows it's not a popular issue with moderates, he's evolving on the issue.
Well, yeah, you know, he's going to say whatever he wants to say to get elected.
But what the problem is, is here.
He didn't understand what running as an independent would be like as far as ballot access goes.
Right. We're talking $100 million to get ballot access across the country.
As a libertarian party, we spend $2 million a year fighting for ballot access in like three or four states.
And we are a pretty established party
as far as third parties go.
We're the third largest party in the United States.
We're the fastest growing party in the United States.
And he didn't realize like,
oh, this ballot access stuff is really, really hard.
And so he could come over
and get ballot access with the Libertarians.
But the problem is,
he doesn't share any of our values at all.
And Libertarians are very staunch about their values there's one
state you guys don't have new york you don't have new york yeah wow how why uh so so larry sharp
actually ran as governor and got the required amount to get us ballot access there and the
the legislature went and changed the rules after that and took us off oh that's low that's new
york that's what they do yeah so. So the Libertarian candidate for president
is not going to even be on the ballot in New York?
There's a possibility.
It's likely to cost us about $300,000 or more.
We should raise that money.
Larry Sharpe's running a whole campaign to try and raise the money.
You need to raise how much?
I think it's like $300,000 or $400,000.
That's a lot of money.
But there's also caps on how much you can give, right?
Right, exactly.
But it's not to a politician. It's a political party, though. Yeah, I think at PAC you can donate $400,000. That's a lot of money, but there's also caps on how much you can give, right? Right. Exactly. But it's not to a politician.
It's a political party though.
Yeah. I think a pack,
you can donate a lot more than just to like,
there's 33,
like for a federal camp campaign right now,
there's 3,300 individual donor cap right now.
But I think with a pack and stuff like that,
which I think they're working with,
you can donate a lot more money to them,
but yeah,
it's a lot of money and,
and it's a lot of work and they need petition a lot of work, and they need petitioners,
and they have to get out and get...
They change the amount of petition sign that you need
to some ungodly amount.
And they don't have a whole hell of a lot of time
to get it done.
Yeah, so it looks like...
Let's see.
There might be the party committee,
state, district, and local, unlimited.
And national committee, it's unlimited. Yeah, that makes sense., unlimited. And national committee, it's unlimited.
Yeah, that makes sense.
If it's our national committee, you can just, I mean, we had people donate like a house.
I mean, you can donate.
But I mean, if the Libertarian Party only needs 300 grand to get on ballot access.
Not doing great financially right now.
That's actually surprising to me that the Libertarian could not muster.
I mean, how many Bitcoin creepos have enough money?
Well, here's the thing.
The Libertarian Party has been existing on like $1.7 million a year budget for a decade.
So it's not like it's a ton of money.
Was it bigger before a decade ago?
No.
I think the biggest we ever were were in 2000 when Harry Brown was the candidate.
And he actually doubled the size of the party membership.
I don't know that that meant that we had more money.
Oh, I'm sorry. I'm wrong. I'm wrong. An individual can only give the party $10,000 per that that um meant that we had more money oh i'm sorry
i'm wrong i'm wrong an individual can only give the party ten thousand dollars per year ten thousand
yeah right i was reading it wrong yeah for for for individuals and then packs can give like oh
no no no it's forty one thousand three hundred sorry how many times are you gonna read this
wrong individuals i sat on the national committee for for two terms to the national party committee
it's forty one thousand three300 I think it used to be
30 now that I'm thinking of it I think it used to be
like 35 60 but they've upped
the cap on these things they did for the
presidential election too it used to be like
27 or something now it's 3300
that an individual can give
where do people donate to the party
LP.org
how many petitions do you need to get in New York
I don't know I don't know larry sharp
is the man that would know that he's running the whole yeah i think we've had him on a couple times
yeah larry's been here for yeah he's and he's been a rogan and he's running for governor right
he did he's not running for governor currently um and and i've been trying to get him to jump
in the race to run for vp um but now clint has announced that he's running for vp so that's
that's my hustle ladies and gentlemen russell is running to be vp for a libertarian party yes
who do you think's actually getting you want it i want that no i'm running for president right for VP. So that's my guess. Clint Russell, ladies and gentlemen. Clint Russell is running to be VP for the Libertarian Party? For the Libertarian Party, yes.
Who do you think is actually going to get, well, you want it.
I want the, no, I'm running for president. Right, that's what I mean.
I want Clint to be my vice presidential candidate.
Okay, right on. There's no doubt about it.
Who do you think is going to get it?
Right now, there's, it's like kind of a four-way thing. I shouldn't ask you that way. Yeah.
I should ask you, who's the frontrunner?
Yeah, it's me, Chase Oliver,
who's kind of like the left-leaning,
social progressive libertarian,
but he has some good policies too,
but he's like the gay guy
who always talks about LGBTQ rights
and stuff like that.
There's also Lars Mapstead
who actually founded Adult Friend Finder,
so he actually helped create
this terrible OnlyFans culture
that you see in America today.
So he's the loaded candidate.
He's got millions of dollars.
And then, of course, Michael Recklenwald, who you've had on the show as well as the guy so that's
interesting i've been asked about rechtenwald a lot by a lot of people i meet outside like just
out in the streets or whatever we're libertarians they'll be like oh what was rechtenwald like and
i'm just you know i don't but i find that interesting it seems like he's got the name
recognition he's uh i don't i mean i don't see he's only raised he only raised twenty thousand
dollars in the last quarter so it's not like he's getting like a ton of play about you
have you announced a little bit less than that yeah okay do you do crowdfunding uh yeah i mean
we're raising money at joshua smith 2024.com man it's it's it's kind of wild how successful the
libertarian party is despite it's like it's true it's a huge budget yeah and they put it together
and and worked really hard and and it is the fastest growing party in the country.
And I think that we're not going to win the presidency in 2024.
I talk about that all the time.
Not with that attitude.
No.
But any libertarian candidate that's like, we're going to win the presidency in 2024
is just lying to themselves, really.
I mean, but we do have the opportunity to, you know.
With RFK Jr., though, he gets you past a certain threshold.
So we talk a lot about this 5% threshold, which I actually found out means minor party status.
It's like 15% to get into the debates.
Of course, if we poll at 15 in any of the major polls, they have to put us on the debate stage.
That's what I want.
That's my biggest goal.
And that would be like in the general?
Just polling to the general, not even in the general election.
So if we polled at 15%, there's a the for the debate commission to allow that party to debate so we would get on the stage with you know whether it's trump or
biden or trump or newsom you'd have a libertarian up there saying all right these things rfk junior
yeah yeah an rfk junior dave smith vp ticket would you be would you be vp for rfk junior no
no i can't do it it would be too much of a conflict for me.
See, here's the issue I see with it.
If the idea is you know you're not going to win,
why wouldn't you just take an RFK Jr. candidacy and just get the numbers?
Because then we fool everybody about what the Libertarian Party is about.
We saw this with Gary Johnson and Bill Weld.
Bill Weld sat on the board of CFR, right?
I mean, this guy was terrible on nuclear energy.
He was terrible on all kinds of stuff that Libertarians support um so him and gary johnson went out and they talked about well
there should be some minor restrictions on the 2a and hillary clinton's really a great service
public service and this and that and so we got this like huge influx of membership for gary
johnson that all ended up being like the left leftist like social progressive libertarians
and once they realized that hey that's not really what the party stood for they left the like social progressive libertarians and once they realize that hey that's not really what
the party stood for they don't left the the social point the social progressive libertarians are
probably they probably have the worst to offer because they're just the democrats with no
freebies they're the democrats like guns yeah they're democrats you can get guns out of them
and they're gonna end all your entitlements.
Respect my pronouns.
No welfare.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah. It's all of the bad things about the Democrats, but you get guns and you get a bunch of freebies.
Well, and the problem is these guys are like, well, we want to, you know, and Jacob Hornberger,
who is running but has totally destroyed his campaign, talks about this all the time.
Like, those guys just want to like, oh, well, social security, we just want to make a little
cut here. And, and the tax, you know, we want the, we want a fair tax and we want to do that.
It's not like they're not looking to try and roll back these systems. They're looking to like,
take little cuts out. And that's not good for us either. Cause then people show up and they're
like, oh man, you guys want to, you guys are like two way absolutists and you want to get rid of
social security for the younger generations?
And everybody's like, well, what's going on here?
So it's bad for the party to have somebody like RFK, in my opinion,
but to the upper brass on the LNC and some of these people,
of course they want him because they want the money,
they want the donor list, they want all that stuff.
RFK might have no choice.
He's horrible.
Well, and he may not get on the ballot.
He's not going to get on the ballot.
He's not going to be on the ballot in probably 35 states.
If he really does want to.
I mean, it's crazy how the Democrats just nuked his campaign. Well, they he may not get on the ballot. He's not going to get on the ballot. He's not going to be on the ballot in probably 35 states. If he really does want to. I mean, it's crazy how the Democrats just nuked his campaign.
Well, they had to.
They also may have shot his uncle.
You think they were going to?
He was going to win?
And his dad.
And his dad, too.
Yeah, geez.
I was going to say, like his uncle.
So he should be happy.
All they did was nuke his campaign, really.
But no, it's the truth.
The truth is that.
They may have shot his dad. Yeah. And his uncle. the truth the truth is that shot his dad yeah and his uncle yeah the truth is is that he's probably as an
independent he's not going to be on the ballot like 30 something states and he doesn't have the
kind of money to to to buy the ballot access but if he's libertarian he automatically gets all the
ballot access any ballot access that we have as a party if he gets the nomination in may he
automatically gets our which is everything but new york at the moment i think there's one other
state that we're working on but we're going to get it. I knew we were working on Maine,
but we've got Maine now. We hit
the threshold. I feel like he'd come in, raise
a bunch of money, get it on the ballot
in every state, get 8% to
15% of the vote. I mean, he's really
popular.
And then everyone leaves the party the next
year.
But if you...
I don't think the people who are in the Libertarian Party
are morons.
If the party convention can't...
You're giving the Libertarian Party
a lot of credit.
No, no, no.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
I'm talking about the Mises Caucus.
Oh, sure.
I mean, if you've got
social progressives,
weirdo libertarians,
your party's fractured
and busted up.
We've gotten rid of a lot of them.
Right.
A lot of them have left.
So, you know, basically,
if the Mises Party,
the Mises Caucus has taken over and everyone kind of gets it.
And at the convention, everyone's like, look, this is not a representation of true libertarian values.
But it is an alliance between an independent and a third party that are trying to.
Democrat.
He's a Democrat.
Even though he's not a Democrat, he's a Democrat.
But you got to you got to you got to come on. You's a Democrat. Even though he's not a Democrat, he's a Democrat. But you gotta... Come on.
You gotta compromise a little bit. He sucks. He's an
independent running right now who's
shut out from the mainstream
who has an opportunity to team up with third party
and both are trying to
smash through the front gates
of the establishment. Sure.
So I see... I understand
you might say he's bad, but
if we combine... you know, with our
powers combined in your third party, Tim, whatever third party, this, this, this non-existent
third party that I'm making up currently that you run Hillary Clinton comes to you.
No, no, no, no, no.
Hillary Clinton's the establishment with all the power and she's in position.
Sure.
But your party needs money.
You need donors.
You guys have to compromise. Wrong analogy. It's the same's the same policy you are you are asking me it's the same
policies they're they're rfk is not hillary clinton come on same policy that's both same
policies i mean the policies are almost indiscernible which ones he's an eco-fascist
he wants to shut down businesses that that uh he wants to go to war with russia well he wants to
go to war in the middle east for sure rfk jr wants to go to war he's been talking about it yeah absolutely look it up let's pull it he's changed
his stance on on the warfare stuff so much over the last six months especially since october 7th
right like big time big time so uh yeah man i mean he's he's not he's not great on these things
anymore uh he's fascism is pretty easy to turn people on if you make them aware to being able
to reuse the carbon it's it's so reusable guy has, it has said specifically said he wants businesses shut down that don't go
along with the climate agenda.
He's pretty rough.
He's bad on.
He's saying that we should withdraw from the middle East to come back to
America to start working on.
What date is that?
His website right now.
Okay.
That's not what he's been saying in the media though.
Well,
I look,
my point is simply this,
like it is not fair to compare RFK junior to Hillary, despite the fact we can agree that RFK junior has bad policies across the board, though. Well, look, my point is simply this. It is not fair to compare RFK Jr. to Hillary,
despite the fact we can agree that RFK Jr.
has bad policies across the board.
Okay.
Hillary Clinton is...
I'm trying to think of anybody else.
Hillary Clinton is voting for...
It's literally voting for the bureaucracy.
The problem is that this person holds none of our values.
No.
And so we're going to put them in...
Cenk Uygur.
No, absolutely
not. If I had a political party
and Cenk Uygur came to me and said,
look, you've got a lot of people who
are behind you when we get the poll numbers.
I've got a lot of people behind me. If we came
together and everyone who was between the two of us knew
the point of this was to
just drive
a car straight through those front gates and this
means y'all are on the debate stage
next year i would say yes and not like i i actually said if it came down to like mitt romney versus uh
like mitt romney versus hillary clinton and jenka huger was there i vote for jenka why
at least he'll pardon julie nissanj i guess what am i supposed to expect with with the two of the
uniparty establishment i'm not saying i like his policies at all i think the dude's actually
fairly crazy and he's not
an American citizen. My point is simply,
look, man, people come to me and they say,
Trump did this bad thing and this bad thing
and I'm sitting here just whistling, being like,
no, no worries. And they're like, yeah, but what about
this bad thing and this bad thing? And I'm like, yo,
this country has been riddled with such bad things from bad
people for so long. And then
I'll tell you this. If somebody
comes to me and they're like,
I'm running for office. What are you going to do? I'm going to I'm going to clean up the streets.
I'm going to clean up crime. I'm going to restore America, make it really, really great. I'll be
like, that sounds pretty good. What else are you going to do? I'm going to go bomb foreign countries.
Sorry, have a nice day. I'm not voting for you. You can you can talk about securing the board.
You can talk about bringing jobs back. And then you say, but we got to intervene in the Middle
East. I say I'm out because I know what that leads to in terms of inflation what it leads to in terms of death blowback conflict crisis all of this stuff and
i've witnessed some of it you get donald trump he could literally come out and be like i don't care
about anything domestically i don't care about any american i don't care about you i only care
about me but i won't go to war i bet okay i'll take it military command man that's their number
one job so so command when i get
when i get these people saying to me like this guy the other this this a couple you know the
other day and he's he's saying all this stuff about how bad trump is and he's a liar and i love
it he said every business trump has ever had has gone bankrupt and i'm just like well that's just
literally not true but i'm like i don't care i don't care if the dude was in an alley slinging
dope i'm like no new wars you know let's don't care if the dude was in an alley slinging dope. I'm like, no new wars.
You know, let's deal with our problems internally, and we'll have to.
So, long story short, if, and I understand your position.
I'm not telling you you're wrong.
I'm saying, like, for me, I see the point where it's like, I see RFK Jr. as a guy who's wrong,
but I see him as a good dude.
He's just wrong.
Like, Marianne Williamson is a he's just he's just wrong like marion williamson is a is a good person she's just wrong and if we could team up and fundamentally change the two
party environment we've had for generations i mean that is a grand slam sure well then listen
great with robert kennedy but why not any other libertarian candidates right like you have a giant
platform right and other people have big platforms and you're all sick of the wars who's who's polling at his numbers they could be if they anybody could be
if they got the if they got the visibility that he's had right and this is the point he's a kennedy
he's a kennedy yeah but he's got visibility people know who he is right he's got the name recognition
he's got the visibility and so this is the point the libertarian party needs a boost here's a guy
who was booted from the democratic party and and cold-shouldered trying to court independence i'm not saying the libertarian
party should bring him on i'm saying i see the case for let's follow sure i see the case i see
the case too i understand the case i think the case is wrong like i'm not and i don't think the
delegates are going to put him in that place and i agree with that i'm not i don't want to tell
libertarians they should vote for him i compromise though it's a big part of politics is compromising with the enemy have you ever met a libertarian it's gotten
us to be the most powerful country on earth have you ever met a libertarian and spoken to
compromise libertarians are known for their purity tests if you even if you accept the existence of the post office, you will be excommunicated from the libertarian party.
Do not test them, Ian!
Hold on.
Do not test them!
Can we just real quick show...
Would you say that compromise has gotten us to where we are today?
Can we just show Ian this meme?
The compromise of all 50 states.
This is a meme from The Simpsons.
And it's
Edna, Kerboppel, Skinner, and Willie.
And he says, brothers and sisters are
natural enemies, like progressives and libertarians.
Or communists and libertarians. Or
ANCAPs and libertarians. Or libertarians
and other libertarians. They ruined
damn libertarians. They ruined libertarianism.
And then Skinner says, you libertarians
sure are a contentious people. You've
just made an enemy for life. That's libertarianism. Nobody hates libert says you libertarians sure are contentious people you've just made an enemy for life that's libertarian pretty much yeah that's how it
is nobody hates libertarians more than other libertarians right you know truth of our existence
i just i just love that story about um when they when when they asked about whether or not you
you should be able to sell heroin to children and i think was it gary johnson said no and they booed him yeah yeah and that was and yeah
that was so that was in 2016 when they had this this huge caucus in the party called the audacious
caucus and they were like all super like offensive uh not even handcuffs like leftists really oh and
and so um you know the the party's changed a lot we we got we got rid of the uh the abortion plank
they kicked that out.
So there's no more like room for error there.
And then you've got guys like me who are running who I consider myself an America first populist libertarian candidate, right?
Like I don't believe in open borders.
I don't believe in abortion.
I know that we've had this debate on the show several times.
But I don't believe that you should be able to sell heroin to five-year-olds.
I don't believe that doctors should be able to force push kids towards like mut-olds. I don't believe that doctors should be able to force, push kids towards like mutilative
surgeries and stuff like that.
I think they should be prosecuted.
But I also believe that the Federal Reserve has destroyed the economy and the warfare
state has done nothing good for any Americans.
And these entitlement programs are destroying us.
And, you know, so was it Austin Peterson who said it?
Yeah, it was Austin.
Awesome.
Okay, wait, I just Googled it.
C-SPAN's got the clip.
Of course, there's no Peterson. Okay, wait. I just Googled it. C-SPAN's got the clip. Of course it did.
...has no constitutional authority to regulate drugs.
That being said, at the state level, I would support some legislation that would stop children
from being allowed to purchase drugs and prosecute anyone who would put a child in danger, because
I do believe that children do need some protection.
Not a real libertarian.
You should not be able to sell heroin to a five-year-old.
It was a...
It was a phase two. Austin was by far... To be fair, people were clapping for him. sell heroin to a five-year-old.
To be fair,
people were clapping for him. In my opinion, Austin was by far the best candidate that year, too.
He was close. I mean, it wasn't far
off in the vote. I think you need compromise.
It's politics.
I'm an
idealist in my soul, but
in the reality, I'm more of a
compromise. I'm down to do things i don't
want to do to get by and sometimes like we're past that bro and uh so you know i was uh uh
talking to this guy the other day he said that's the libertarian party isn't libertarian enough
and i was like well what what do you mean i was like it's austin peterson got booed when he said
you know he'd prosecute people selling, selling heroin to kids.
And he was like,
and he looks at me and he,
and he goes abortion.
And I was like,
yeah,
I think the Mises caucus are fairly pro-life,
right?
Is that,
is that true,
Josh?
The Mises caucus?
Yeah.
I think there's,
I think there's a bit of a split there,
but for the most part,
it's pro-life.
Yeah.
And I'm pro-life.
And yeah,
I think heist is probably pro-life and a lot of these people,
but there are still some people who,
you know, think there's a good faith debate uh effort on both
sides of the debate and this and that i don't faith debate well i would i would go ahead i
would say that uh i am not in the pro-life camp but i certainly do not believe there's a good
faith debate with the left on abortion right i think there's not a good faith debate in a lot
of areas yeah there's a good faith there's a good faith debate with people like me and people like you.
I really think it was a great conversation I had with Glenn Beck on the issue, which I've probably evolved quite a bit on it since then, probably moved a little bit further to the right on it a great deal.
Because I have a libertarian stance on the issue of the 14th Amendment.
And my position on abortion is actually just libertarian.
At what point does the government have the right to determine someone must provide their body to someone else and i you know i don't
want to get into an abortion debate but my point yeah we did this for like on the after show for
like an hour yeah i want to get into it but my point is like that's where the real debate is
where we actually are genuinely like what's the constitutional limitations what can the government
do and then you have the left that they're just like we just want to kill babies yeah it's bad
it's gross it's it's like uh they're you know they're basically sacrificing their own
children to moloch dude that's really what it is i i can't i can't it is a self-correcting problem
it's yeah i know and i and i have a lot of friends on the right that say let your enemies do what
they need to do you know what i mean but don't interrupt your enemy when they're making a mistake
you know so there's a religious argument for me but there's also like the i think that the
libertarian argument but anyway the point that i was making to you is that uh compromise made sense in the 90s when
democrats and republicans overlapped on almost everything except how much taxes should people
pay and should it be this high for this bracket or this low and you know how strong should the
border be now the issues are like sanctuary states should be able to people should be able to kidnap
your children and bring them to a sanctuary state
where they can get a forced exchange.
Right.
Like, I don't see a compromise there.
And an abortion at the same time.
More compromise just to get the LP on the ticket.
I found the reason article with RFK
talking about the gun ban.
So it's called RFK Jr. The Reason Interview,
and it's an actual interview,
and he says,
I love Tulsi Gabbard
because she understands the importance
of disentangling or unraveling the empire and unraveling the war machine so that's
good but on banning assault weapons he said wait wait wait can i i want to pull it up so yeah it's
the just look up rfk jr the reason in interview okay let me pull up the quote yeah but there's
another quote here where he says i'm not going to take i'm not going to take away anybody's guns but
if a bipartisan bill to do so pass Congress, I'd sign it.
Right.
He also discussed the desire.
And assault weapons doesn't mean anything anyway.
Yeah, there's, I mean, it's such a vague.
But he's, we've long known that he's an anti-gun guy.
I mean, you should sign off on something that people want.
I would never, as president,
I would never sign a bill that was unconstitutional.
Not something that's anti-constitutional,
but I mean, I do think that it makes sense to say,
you know, if this is what the people want, you should do this. No, veto stamp. Not an unconstitutional thing i mean i do think that it makes sense to say you know if this is what the people want you should do this veto stamp not an unconstitutional thing no you're missing my
point i i i hear your point the border security bill bipartisan does not mean the will of the
people it means the corporate establishment paid off a bunch of crackpots or insider trading at
the time i do want to quote unquote border security bill right now is quote unquote bipartisan well
it's not really bipartisan, though.
Republicans in the Senate did help them draft it.
My buddy Chris Hansen, who sent me the article from Iowa, I appreciate you sending it.
The president doesn't have any constitutional leniency when it comes to the border.
No, he should not.
He's charged with, this is your job.
With not allowing an invasion.
Yeah, this is your job. With not allowing an invasion. Yeah, this is your job.
The point of the presidency is quite literally that if there is a bad bill that's bipartisan, he vetoes it.
He has to veto it.
Yeah, well, I mean, yeah, fair enough.
But again, we're talking about this bill as if it's legitimate, as if the concept of needing this bill is legitimate.
And it's not.
No, it never was.
It's entirely illegitimate this is a
distraction well it depends on how you look at it phil the fact that we've spent you know that
you're spending so much effort and energy discussing this when the the the president
has every bit of authority that he needs currently in the constitution to to defend the border take
care of all the problems we have at the border. The president has all the authority he needs.
This is literally just extorting the American people.
So that way they can get money to launder in Ukraine
and give money to Israel to defend their own country.
How are they laundering money without Sam Bankman Freed?
I don't understand.
I mean, they don't have their chief money laundering anymore.
It's actually crazy.
I actually met a lawyer for his family. Really? I mean, look,... They don't have their chief money launderer anymore. This is actually crazy. I actually met a lawyer for his family.
Really?
I mean, look, I got to tell you.
I tell these stories about National Harbor, D.C.,
and this is where all these people are hanging out.
You want to meet the high-powered lobby?
I got to tell you, man,
this casino is apparently the highest-grossing casino
in the country.
It's...
I can't even... I don't know there's there's
just like 20 000 people downstairs the tables and they're probably all millionaires and i cannot
fathom i saw a guy sitting at table with like 20 grand just playing away and i'm just like this is
nuts you go to the poker room they had a i guess it was uh it's if i don't know if you guys know
anything about 25 50 was on the list but apparently it was even bigger than that
long story short what does that mean?
It means everybody who played had to bring $100,000
so you have basically
one or more
that's the minimum
and so these are people with a million dollars on the table
I was not playing anywhere near that level
I was playing 2.5 and I met a guy who was a lawyer
who was talking about how he's actually a lawyer
for their family.
And, you know, he didn't go into any classified details, but it was interesting to hear the perspective he had on what was going on.
Did they drop the charges on that guy?
I mean, it just seems like it's all dirty.
Yeah, I read that they dropped some charges.
Yeah, a bunch of the charges got dropped.
They dropped some charges, but not all.
Yeah, they can't really put him in jail when he was the one laundering their money.
I got to say this.
I got to say this right now.
I got to say this right now.
If you're a journalist, you're trying to figure out how to get started in journalism.
I got a tip for you guys.
Because people often ask, what can I do to get started?
And everyone always says, buy a cell phone and go to the border.
I got a better one for you.
You're not telling stories, though.
That's a good idea.
Go to the poker room at MGM National Harbor.
Yo.
It is.
No, I'm not kidding.
The people I have met there, it is wild.
I mean, first of all, I was hanging out with a guy who was a Mises Caucus guy the other
day, and he knew who I was, and he was like, oh, and we're talking about normal stuff.
But then you meet a guy who's a lawyer for the Bankman-Fried family.
And I'm like, tell me more, good sir.
If you want to get into journalism, or I mean, post-millennial a i might do this like i'm gonna hire to sit at a table also hang
out i'm saying hire somebody i might maybe we'll have scnr hire someone literally just to play one
three and keep an ear open but really if you want the the big shots it's two five or five
times they're very expensive games and it's hard but the things you overhear there and the things
people are talking about because these are people in dc who have a lot of money if they're playing 510 that means
they spent between 600 and 2500 to play that game and i gotta tell you these guys they play more
than that so you have to wonder what job they have in the dc area and it's not a construction worker
no you're gonna find lobbyists and lawyers, and they love to talk.
You can't film here, though.
Some casinos do allow it, but if you're in MGM National Harbor, it does not.
And probably because these guys are going to be high-powered lawyers, delegates, political staffers,
people who are doing things maybe they shouldn't be doing, but you'll hear those opinions.
I'm willing to bet you will find a ton of stories if you just play the game and ask,
like, oh, really?
Like, what do you do?
What is that like?
Oh, is it true what they said about that guy?
You're going to get scoops galore.
Because these dudes are, they're hanging at the table.
They're bored all day.
They're there for six hours or more.
They're probably drinking.
Some of them, a lot of them are drinking.
Yeah.
And the server's coming around offering drinks.
Yeah.
Actually, but if you go on Saturday night, it's, I'm willing to bet that's a good spot for a journalist to hang out
poker room at mgm national harbor now all the dc politicians are going like
all the ones you've had on the show are like thanks thanks a lot well i was saying i was
saying before i think this is where they actually launder money. So when I played this past week, yesterday, when I was cashing out, they had a supervisor come over and track the cash out, write down my name, write down the table I was on, the game that was played, how much money was played, how long I was there, and then thanked me for my business.
And I'm like, I wonder if that has to do with money laundering.
That's wild.
Yeah, because we talked about it before.
If you want to launder money, if you're... I was actually talking to some dude there about it.
And he was like, nah, you don't need to go to a poker room for that.
Just bring up a briefcase.
And I'm like, how do you report any taxes?
No.
I came into 20 grand.
It's really easy.
You got a proxy, a guy who works for your company,
or just someone you know who you want to have the money.
And then you got a guy who's going to make the donation.
And they play a hand of poker.
And then the guy goes, oh, geez, I'm going to bet $20,000.
Ah, you beat me.
Right.
And there's no record of what cards you had.
You just muck them.
So you don't even know if it was a con game.
All you see on cameras, two guys played a game of poker and one guy won $20,000.
Now he reports on his taxes.
Clean as a whistle.
Right. And we know what that money is really for i've seen ozarks yeah i've
seen the movie i've seen the show that's what they did the show right i mean that was the big thing
i haven't seen those yeah they open uh they open a casino so they could launder cartel money i mean
that was that was the whole thing about the show so the poker room is especially interesting you
sit down with your cash and then you say, I'm going to bet 10 grand.
And the other guy says, I call.
And then you go, ah, he got me.
So let me explain this.
Let's say it can work really simple.
Anybody who plays poker knows how you could do this.
But for those that understand, you don't need to show your cards.
If I've got the best possible hand, let's say I get a royal flush.
I have the best hand, but I want Phil to be given money.
Phil could have the worst possible hand, or he could have a hand.
And then when I bet all my money and he calls my bet and flips over a mediocre hand, all
I have to do is say he got me and then put my cards face down in what's called the muck.
No one will ever see what I had, which means I can choose to lose without any proof that I actually won.
I wonder if casinos in the future
are going to change it
so your cards are...
Always tracked.
Yeah.
They could.
I mean, they can record it.
Yeah, we have an RFID table.
Yeah.
They could track it.
Well, I mean,
they make the poker hand cameras too
for like the big poker hand and stuff.
But you have to show those.
Right, yeah. Now they do RFID where you've got stuff. But you have to show those. Right, yeah.
Now they do RFID
where you've got a little,
you've got it on the table,
you get the cards
and you rub them.
You don't have to,
but you try to get them
to move so it reads
and then the computer
gets all the information.
I don't think they're going
to spend $20,000
on an RFID table
at any casino.
And they're not going
to intentionally expose people
that are trading money
under the table.
Yeah, they're not interested
in exposing money laundering.
They have no reason to stop that.
I am not suggesting
National Harbor does this or is in any way
knowledgeable of anything that's going on.
Good caveat there.
I think it's a fine establishment.
Genuinely,
dude, I gotta tell you, man.
I've been to a lot of casinos.
But you go to MGM National Harbor
and I do not understand how these people are
there. I don't get it.
You want to play one hand of
ultimate hold'em. It's basically like
blackjack, but it's a different table game called Carnival Games.
It's going to cost you, let's see,
it's 50, 50, 50, 150
and then to play is another...
So 200 bucks to see one hand.
And if you want to raise your bet
because you got a good hand,
you're putting another 150 on top.
How is anyone playing there?
I do not understand.
It's got to be people.
Well, I don't know.
Speculation.
They're like from a foreign government.
They're like, go to DC,
get the job done
and give that city a million bucks
while you're there.
Take this 10 million with you.
It's not DC.
National Harbor is a Maryland.
Yeah. How far from DC dc is a couple miles so it's like a hot spot a dc hot spot but it's out of dc so this is the thing i'm like i really just think maybe it's there's a lot of big
money yeah there's no gambling in darlington no but national harbor is maryland and it's just south
of dc and i'm like maybe dc is more powerful it's not listed in one of the top cities for millionaires
it's actually nowhere near it
but there's a lot of money running
through there and I'm seeing a lot of diplomats
to diplomats have a lot of that must be it
but I'm like I'm seeing what looks like some working
class dude pulling $25
slot levers and I'm just like this is the
craziest place I've ever been there's also people ruining their
lives with gambling I mean you can't you can't
take that out of the equation.
Sure, but I don't know, man.
You go to like Maryland Live or-
Gambling's like heroin to some people, man.
It really is bad.
It is a bad addiction.
Yeah, I get it.
But like, I mean, look, if someone's making like 80K a year, they get their one paycheck
for the weekend, they're going to be there for five minutes.
Yeah.
I don't believe that.
Like where all that big money's coming from i mean
maybe it's just the reality that dc's got a lot of secret millionaires and a lot of money flying
through and people are going to go to the casino i think seven of the top 10 richest counties are
the counties that surround the dc area i don't know about that many but i think one of them
like one of the highest like fairfax is really rich yeah really rich. I don't think it's 7 of 10.
I was looking this up to try and figure it out.
It's like California has... The whole Chevy Chase area.
Marin County is one of the
richest counties in the entire country. I know that.
And that's right across the Golden
Gate Bridge. There's a lot of gambling there.
No, it's Sausalito. It's all
Bay territory. But the funny thing
is there's... Loudoun County, Falls, Church,
Santa Clara, San Mateo, Fairfax, Howard, which is
Maryland, Arlington, Virginia,
Marin County, which is in California,
Douglas County.
So yeah, I mean, it's not the seven, but it's got, what's
he? One, two, three,
four, five of
the top 10. So you're effectively
right. Fun fact, the Golden
Gate Bridge is one of the still
privately owned by a secret group of people.
What?
Is that right?
The Golden Gate Bridge is owned by a secret group of people?
I don't know if that's still the truth, but that was the truth for many, many, many, many years.
It was like a secret group of people in Marin County that actually owned the bridge.
Oh, in Marin County, you don't say.
Yeah, of course, right?

Really do appreciate it.
And before we read Super Chats, I do want to give a shout out to our good friend Taylor Lorenz for one of the nicest things she could have possibly said in relation to my work, I was deeply moved.
I saw an interview she did, which said Tim Pool is dishonest, which shocked me until she explained in greater detail what she meant.
She said Tim Pool does not do journalism.
He comments on other people's work and he is dishonest.
And I went,
oh, she's saying
the news that I am reading
from the New York Times
and from the Wall Street Journal
is fake.
Based.
But that's the gist of what she said.
Isn't that what most podcasts do?
We look up current events
and then comment on current events.
But just times when you say
someone disagrees with,
they'll call you dishonest,
but you just don't agree.
But this is the point.
Doesn't mean you're not lying.
She literally says in the interview,
Tim Pool does nothing original.
He just comments on other people's news
and he's dishonest.
But if I'm commenting on news,
what's dishonest?
It's not my opinion on the news, right?
Because an opinion isn't a fact-based
question so she's saying the news is fake she said the quiet part out loud she did i appreciate it
we're gonna read super chats all right steven says second hello josh in fact good sir you are first
steven there you go shane h wilder says the Alaskan National Guard will probably be deployed in the summer
so they can pass out in the Texas heat in a Napoleon invasion of Russia scenario.
Well, it may be early next year.
We don't know exactly when.
The point is, why are you going to announce this?
I mean, this is a virtue signal and I haven't done it in five years.
At the very least, it was just really a dumb timing.
Raybert G. Stanbert Jr. says, Tim tim did you see bill maher prove his incompetence
once again with pbd on his show when talking about gavin newsom for president it was painful
i do not agree with the general assessment of his performance what happened is bill maher said
gavin newsom is a winner i don't understand why we can't have him patrick bett david said are you
a results-based guy pbd he's so good at what he does with his interviews.
And Bill's like, what do you mean?
He's like, well, results.
You're saying like, he's a winner, so what did he do to win?
And Bill says, no, he wins elections.
Then PBD says, Patrick Bet-David, by the way, Valuetainment,
says, what did he do that was good for California?
And Bill says, he made it rain.
I don't care.
He's like, there's bad things about California.
I don't like everything he does. I don't actually see this as a gotcha moment, as a lot of people do,
because Bill Maher was not trying to make the point that Gavin Newsom's policies are good.
He was trying to make the point this guy is capable of winning an election against Trump
and Biden is not. And that is a true and correct point we should be concerned about if they try to
swap Biden out for Gavin Newsom. However, I do give some brownie points to come on bill don't cheer for a guy you can't
complain about trump for being bad and then say i have no idea what the other guy's done
but like he's like not everything gavin newsom has done is good i mean there's bad things of
course what's he done that's good i don't know okay well now you're talking about gavin newsom
is a winner can win an election and he's he's kind of bad but trump is very bad okay whatever i get it it's probably a reason why
bill maher does not want to come on this show yeah i mean to be fair he's like a super rich
old guy who's like doesn't want to go on anyone's shows also because you won't let him smoke weed
in here so we offered to go out there and try and work something out. They said no.
Oh, really?
Yeah, and I will not go on real time.
I would never.
I can't stand that.
That's so silly.
It's just WWE.
It's not your format, man.
I mean, I could easily.
It's just like sit there, speak for 10 minutes, and then you're done,
and then argue with some guy who's going to say stupid things and get a rise out of the audience.
But Club Random, we tried.
We're like, hey, we'll go to LA. We'll set up our show for a week, and then we'll come on the show. just but uh club random uh we tried to like hey we'll
go to la we'll set up our show for a week and then we'll come on the show and they're like well you
know can't do it whatever he doesn't he doesn't owe me anything all right let's grab some more
mr battalion says tim have you thought that ak is betting on dt winning 24 since the deployment
isn't until 25 exactly all these moves that are being made are to create crises
under Donald Trump's presidency.
They're not going to be able
to Russiagate him again.
So what can they do?
This bill will give the federal government
all of these powers
and it's locked in.
And if Trump wants to change it,
it goes to DC federal court.
That was the key you guys pointed out.
I was glad I found that.
Yeah, that's really interesting. I've seen a couple people share it now, but it's not. that's that was the key you guys pointed out i was glad i found that yeah that's really interesting i've seen a couple people share now but it's not that's not making
the rounds like it should be because that's probably the crux of that bill probably the
besides the the war funds that is the biggest part of that bill and then what happens even if
congress tries to change it will it also have to go to a dc court it's what it sounds like to me i
mean like i said i'm not a legalese guy but it's it sounds to me like everything pertaining to this issue from now on will have to go through
the dc district i think congress would be able to override it themselves without court but trump
won't what's going to happen is trump will get elected and he'll be like we're going to shut it
down we're going to lock the borders and then immediately democrats will file suit and say
the bill the law of this land says we have to go to D.C. court where they will immediately say Trump loses.
Well, and he's going to only, even if he gets elected, he's only going to have four years.
They're going to wrap it up in court for two.
Yep.
Immediately.
Minimum two years in the D.C. district courts.
People forget that.
You may win the case, but it's going to take so long for it to get done.
It's effectively useless.
Especially in the D.C. district court.
I mean, they're going to keep pushing it back, pushing it back.
There's all these other things going to take precedence. It's going
to be bad. Let's read this one. This is good. Kwan Jin says, Shin, want to clarify something
you said last Friday. In Singapore, you can't get caned for littering. You can get caned for
illegal entry or overstaying your permit for 90 days. That might help with US immigration issues.
Yeah. Yes. Bring back public can public paintings i'm not in favor of that
yeah but um i do believe that atypical punishment that is not cruel and unusual well i don't know
atypical and unusual i don't know what the usual means but i do think there could be forms of
penance that would actually be substantially more effective than torture or locking someone up with their gang
yeah it's not you could do cruel or it's not cruel or unusual it's cruel and unusual punishment is not
allowed but if it's not cruel it can still be unusual oh good point and if it's not unusual
it can still be cruel like putting people in prison where they get raped wow it shouldn't be
but i think the point is cruelty is unusual i think it's the point exactly what happens the pedophiles i don't care they can go to prison and get raped all for all no no no we could use some
unusual i agree i agree with the atypical or unusual like we talked about this like stock i
guarantee you if if i was given like you are the supreme chancellor how will you end crime in
chicago i would say when you are caught for violent offenses,
we will make you wear a diaper
and crawl around in a public park
surrounded by everyone with their cell phone cameras filming you,
and you have to say,
Gabi gooby, Gabi gooby, for two hours.
That's just cruel.
If you made them do it in their living room,
that would be unusual. And the point is... I i like it in the park 10 bucks a month hold on hold on here's my question about the definition
of cruel i'm talking about violent criminal offenders who are caught convicted in a court
of law and their punishment is to be to be mocked in public humiliated i think cruel needs like
torture is cruel solitary confinementitary confinement is cruel.
These things cause tremendous like lifelong traumas and physical disabilities.
You getting made fun of for an hour or so is a like, I got to tell you, in Chicago, these guys are going to be like, ain't no way I'm getting caught, dude, because they're going to put you in a diaper and make you.
You got to hop like a bunny down Michigan Avenue and everyone gets to film you.
And that's forever.
You're not going to go to jail,
but that's who,
that will be who you are.
And they're like,
I don't want to be that.
I like the diaper idea.
I like the public humiliation aspect.
Public humiliation was big
in the Puritan days,
wasn't it?
You had like the stocks
and stuff that they'd put you out
in public,
or Hester Prynne with her A,
that was humiliating.
And people would throw
tomatoes and stuff.
Or the lady who,
I forget what her crime was,
but her sentence was to work at a fast food restaurant.
Yep.
So I'm riding the car with some skateboarders.
And some of these guys from the south side of Chicago,
it's probably when I'm like 20, 19 years old maybe.
And the way they speak, they say,
when I go to jail, I'm going to X.
They don't say if.
They don't say, I hope I don't. They say, when I go to jail, I'm going to X. They don't say if. They don't say I hope I don't.
They say when I do.
And the other thing is,
many of them like that they've done it
and they brag about it.
They go, you ain't no, you know, ish.
Where did you get locked up?
Man, I spent X amount of time in this place.
You're going to come at me, bro?
It's just like getting your wings in the military, man.
It's the same thing.
It's like something you're proud of.
But if they said,
aren't you that guy I saw in the diaper gab gabagubing down michigan avenue and everyone laughed at you
he'd be like no that wasn't me i swear to god so so there's a there's video buddy i'm pretty sure
there's a meme where there's a guy there's a guy who's like on his bed on the internet naked or
something and then someone tweeted there's another guy who posted something and someone tweeted him
hey aren't you that guy that's butt-ass naked on your couch? He's like, no, it's not me.
And they post a picture of it.
People are terrified of that.
And so I'm not literally saying we should have people dressed in diapers.
I'm making the point that the idea of locking someone in a box with their gang
and they like it, that's not solving any problems at all.
It's like a career move.
Yeah, literally.
And then there's a lot of people it's not helping there's a there there'll be a guy who's like
i saw this in ferguson so they're struggling to pay their bills they're driving to work and they've
got a busted taillight they get pulled over they can't pay the bill so they don't then they get
pulled over so there's a bunch of small towns when you drive through the St. Louis metro.
It's like 99 different cities.
And so when you can't pay the bill, it's like it's a weekend in jail.
The only problem is two days.
No big deal, right?
But if you've got six tickets across six jurisdictions, they put you on tour.
It's where you go to one jail.
Two days later, they transport you to the next jail.
Two days later, next jail.
I'm like, how is taking this guy to the workforce and stripping him of the money he doesn't have helping anybody because he couldn't pay a ticket yeah none of that solves any problem that's
not a good reason and how are we taking gang members putting them in boxes with their gang
where they're happy it's happening and acting like we're solving the problem in any way it's like
boo kelly you guys see he got oh yeah with 90 people or so and there's apparently like a well
according to the news very legitimate election but people love him.
What is he doing
to get the gangs off?
Is it just severe brutality
in El Salvador right now?
They're arresting them all.
And they're just putting
all these guys,
I was picturing like,
in a brutal prison
where they just all sit there.
Like Arkham Asylum?
Like it's the worst
of the worst
of their society altogether
in one Arkham Asylum.
Basically,
that's what it looks like
in the pictures.
And they're terrified, dude. So there are guys who have gang tattoos and they looks like in the pictures and they're terrified dude so there are
guys who have gang tattoos and they're hiding in the shadows it's wild some of the stories i've
heard because like you join a gang you get a tattoo on your face now that bukele is locking
up all the gang members their makeup covering it up they're panicking like if i get seen
associated with a gang in any way it's straight to lock up yeah yo i was talking
to my salvadorian friend uh just the day in dc and he said like he went back just recently after
bukele was elected and he's just like night and day like he doesn't even recognize his own
neighborhood anymore from when he grew up as a kid so he says the most violent country in the
world or at least in before before and then it was it was out there definitely a top five and
it's now it's one of the safest in the world. Yeah. And Bitcoin's legal tender.
Yeah.
And their economy is like sick.
Really good right now.
Let's read. This is Zaitsev.
Check page 213 of the bill.
Aliens from non-contiguous countries shall not be included in calculating the sum of aliens encountered.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Can you pull that up?
213? Aliens described in subsection blah, blah from non-contiguous countries shall not be included
in calculating the sum of aliens encountered.
What are the...
So which countries are they?
Are they saying that if you come from China to Mexico, you're not going to be counted?
Non-contiguous means if you don't touch, if your country doesn't touch the U.S.
Right.
Wow.
That is messed up, you guys.
This bill, hey, listen to this.
Wow.
Call your congressman tomorrow, please.
Everybody that is not from Canada or Mexico is not counted.
Yep.
In that three million a year that we'll be allowed in.
This bill is very important because we've got a Canadian illegal immigration problem.
Yeah.
They're trying to come in here.
The snow Mexicans.
I haven't seen it for a while, guys. Well, we just had two people arrested we two two illegal immigrants were just arrested
for running a human trafficking ring across the canadian border you should screenshot that out
it's much easier to get into america from canada than it is to get into canada
i heard some i heard some podcast uh sitch and i were talking about this particular phrase, and they were saying that they were thinking
that it might be something having to do with Cuba,
but the way that it sounds to me,
it does sound like if it's not,
if you're not from Canada or Mexico,
which are the only two countries that are legitimate,
where the people could make legitimate asylum claims
because you're supposed to stop in the first safe country that you come to.
If it's the case, then that means that anyone that isn't from Canada or Mexico
is not counted.
So the number could be, you know, God knows what.
And that's for the purpose of closing the border.
So they won't have to close the border if it's just all people from not Mexico.
Yeah, so you could have like 5,000 people from Africa
and they don't count towards the 5,000 people to close the border.
That's what it seems like.
That's what it looks like.
Most of the people are not coming from Mexico.
This bill is ass.
It needs to go away very quickly very fast everyone should call their
congress tomorrow all day all day long time it's an hour like a two and a half no no it doesn't
matter when it doesn't the time doesn't matter just fill up their their their emails is there
a website you can go to where you put in your area code and it shows you who your congressman is
well i mean everyone you can go to your yeah you can google if you google whatever you're you know i'm from this town who's my congressman google will
tell you what your district i will say though mitch mcconnell coming out and say so mitch
mcconnell's basically the guy in my lifetime that has always been like oh there's a there's a bad
bipartisan bill coming through we should we should go for it like yeah you said that but i saw
something from tenant media earlier that said that Mitch McConnell was for it.
So I'm not sure if that.
Oh, I didn't say that.
Libby said it.
So if it's wrong, Libby was wrong, not me.
I'm just parodying.
Libby, why are you lying to me?
Mitch McConnell.
I'm wrong about so much.
Mitch McConnell saying to vote against the bill.
That's what I saw.
He didn't say that?
She said she saw it.
I saw it on.
I said I saw it on Alex Boyd's.
I was surprised to hear that because Mitch McConnell basically is like.
I didn't claim it myself. the bad bipartisan bill machine, right?
Like he's the guy that's in the Republicans.
It's like, oh, it's another bill that's going to not help American citizens at all?
Sure, why not?
Every time.
I rarely see anything about him that's popular.
People are never really stoked.
It's always something that's –
What are you doing, Kentucky?
Get it together.
Jeez.
Kentucky's weird.
You have Thomas Massey and Rand mcconnell of all the people
come on all right jacob holly says ian i just want to thank you your humanity and compassion
and your quick jump to assume the best in people has given me hope about a year ago i was depressed
alone and without purpose i considered ending myself many times you and god saved me you know
what dude i was thinking this like yesterday that if you,
if you live in fear,
even if you succeed,
you've failed.
Like it,
you have to have at least that positive,
like belief in the future.
Hope.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Even if things are bad,
like fuck it,
be hopeful,
man.
Cause things are going to get better and live like that.
Hope is what makes us human.
Winston Churchill was great about that during World War II
because it was like the darkest time
in British history
and people were getting bombed in London.
They were, anyway.
Let's read this.
EW says,
y'all need to go watch
the Dave Smith interview
with RFK Jr. this past week.
I did.
Dave 180'd on RFK Jr.
The idea that he would VP with RFK Jr.
after that is hilarious.
Go watch the interview.
Yeah, he wrecked.
He really, i'm telling you
there's the law he was he was a fan of rfk jr i think he's i think he's a i think he's a fan of
the the the anti-war narrative that he had been having prior to this israeli palestinian conflict
recharging obliterates rfk jr he really he took him to task on all the stuff real bad and in fact
at the end asked him do you you think Israel has too much influence
on American politics?
And it was the longest pregnant pause I've ever seen.
It was probably 10 seconds.
Somebody made a video of it
with the curb you're in through the music
because it was so long.
He was like, well, and then he starts saying,
well, I'm not really a politician,
so I couldn't tell you.
Okay.
All right.
Sure you couldn't.
Yikes. I will just say this. Phil, MTg reacted to it and nobody from punchbowl yeah nobody i was playing with you
all right so nobody owes us any favors if you don't want to come on the show bill mars want
to come on the show then you don't come on the show that's because i love you but there are a
lot of these personalities who are terrified to come on this show because they know you say it i'm
gonna google search it right there on the spot and pull it up and so uh we've had a hard time
trying to book rfk jr for sure yeah yeah it's gonna be a hard one for sure and uh you know
there's another thing too uh he's been invited to the libertarian party of california convention
in fact they're doing a debate there that has him, Cornel West, Jill Stein, and any libertarian candidate that was willing to pay $5,000 to be in a debate for our own party at
our own state convention when they're not charging them, which is kind of weird, right? I would say
it's kind of weird. Anyways, so he's going to debate, I think, Jacob Hornberger and maybe
Michael Recktenwald because they paid the fee. I refuse to pay the fee.
Johnny Medler says RFK Jr. endorsed Hillary Clinton three times.
He's one of them, no matter what he says now.
Yeah, but he's pulling votes from Joe Biden.
I think he's pulling votes from both sides.
It's mostly Joe.
I think it's polling now, mostly Biden.
I think in a general election, he's pulling from both sides.
Yeah, probably a little, but I think he's really election, he's pulling from both sides. I really think. Yeah, probably a little.
But I think he's really got that Democrat flair.
Yeah, but there's a right-wing contingent that really likes this guy because of his COVID stances.
Oh, yeah.
COVID's content with Trump and COVID.
If you guys are looking for a COVID guy, I want to put the COVID regime in Guantanamo Bay.
All right.
Let's read this.
Domestic Tourist says, please pray for my dog Scout.
Cast, crew, and listeners,
he is currently battling bone cancer,
and I'm not sure how long he has.
I'm a veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan.
He needs my service dog.
He saved my life.
Sorry to hear it, man.
I hope for the best.
I hope he has a good recovery
and just cherish every moment you can have with him.
Praying for your doggo, man.
Thanks for sharing.
We gave...
He loves bones.
So Mr. Bocas uh we were on friday
you know someone came down and said he's like sprawled out on the ground pat like staring at
the floor his face just flat on the ground and we were kind of worried like at any moment he could
die i mean we've we've artificially artificially lengthened his life as long as we can he's got a
defective heart he's got defective kidneys and he's young but this is you know you eat garbage and live in the street maybe when he
was younger he ate some some chemical or who knows and so uh we came up and he was sitting there
and so i thought to myself you know what he's on a special diet for his kidneys but it's looking
really bad he really he eats he's hungry that's good it's a good sign but he's not putting on weight
so i thought we should give him some raw beef because he really really when he came up here
was trying to eat the biltong like crazy but he can't eat it it's salted and spiced and i was like
he's showing signs of like this may be the end end of life yeah and so if he loves beef he's got
his last meal coming buddy yeah so we gave him
a chunk of raw beef he ate it he's looking better and i have read studies about feeding cats raw
meat because it's literally what they eat and so i'm hoping and it may be a stupid thing to hope
that if he is about to die and i'm going to give him some good food before he goes and let him fill
his belly with raw meat like he'd love to eat i'm happy he gets it but i'm kind of hoping that maybe that that kickstarts him yeah it's it's it's it's that just eats it and it helps
him put to put weight back on or something and so i i looked into what is the lowest phosphorus meat
because that's that's what you got to watch out for for his kidney problem and it's beef yeah and
so i was like straight up non-salted low sodium regular old raw beef, and he went nuts for it.
I'm hoping that keeps him eating,
and I'm hoping the raw meat is better for him
and helps him put weight back on.
But if not, then I'm just happy that...
He had a good end.
He had a good last meal of the raw meat.
Because this stuff we feed him for his kidney diet,
it's little, you know, dry pellets,
and then he's got this canned food
that looks like garbage. And he eats it, but he just, like, you know, dry pellets. And then he's got this canned food that looks like garbage and he eats it,
but he does like,
you know,
yeah.
Why would you not just want something good?
I've got the liver Kings beef liver X,
like a supplement pill.
And every once in a while I was pulling,
undoing a capsule and putting a little powder on it.
Man,
he goes nuts for that beef.
He wants,
you should get on,
you should get all the liver Kings growth hormones,
dude.
Shout out to the liver King.
I want to say you just get absolutely, absolutely jacked like that. You should do it. Liver King's growth hormones, dude. Shout out to Liver King. I want to see you just get absolutely jacked like that, dude.
You should do it.
That'd be great.
In like three months.
Get like a supercharged vehicle and just get super jacked.
It'd be great.
I'd love to see it.
And just claim like liver and clean eating the entire time.
We'll get you some cream and clear.
You could take a bath and stuff, dude.
I'm going to do a liver cleanse.
I'll tell you guys about it on another show.
Sweet ass.
Phobes says, hey, Josh, it's simple.
Just ask Tim whether libertarians should vote for Dick Cheney if you were the libertarian nominee.
That's a funny joke.
Yeah, but like.
No, that's a funny joke because Dave Smith asked Nick Sarwark, the prior chair of the LNC, who I was at war with on his show.
Do you think libertarians should vote for Dick Cheney if he's the nominee?
And he said, Hitler hillary clinton anybody yes they have an obligation as a libertarian to vote for them
because it helps the libertarian party and that's kind of where nick sarwark is very dumb that's
why we that's why we took over the party i mean our work was the reason why we took over one of
my favorite points to make was i'd constantly hear these trump supporters conservatives in general
say if the libertarians just voted for Trump in 2020,
then Trump would be the president.
And I said,
Libertarians don't like the Republican Party.
Like, they have this worldview,
not all of them, but many of them,
that Libertarians are conservatives.
And we owe our vote to the Republicans, too.
That's the other thing.
And it's like,
I'm like, Libertarians don't like
90% of what Republicans do. I don't understand why they would want to vote for a lot of us were republicans and
in fact that modern libertarians today came from the ron paul movement okay and like we watched
them arrest our caucus members at caucuses around the country for ron paul we watched them change
the national convention rules to keep delegates out like we're not going back we get one we got
one more it's a good one. Ra Gidnuck
says, last, anywho, you must
get Rappaport on Timcast. Give him
platform and expand viewers, please. He's hilarious.
And I'd love to hear him rant about
Pig Dick Trump and Cadaver Joe for two
hours. I'm sure not alone in
desiring that. So we've
reached out to his agent
and we are trying to get him on the Culture War.
I think it would be I
think it would be two hours of laughing I think we'd be laughing the whole time you know for the
people who don't like Trump funny yeah the people that we like I gotta say for all that for all the
people who really hate Trump he's a funny guy yeah and uh self-aware so I feel like it wouldn't be
this thing where we're just yelling at each other about we're being wrong I think we'd be laughing
our asses off with everything he says he's been funny for years
yeah i would really i would really enjoy that so i hope i hope uh he he gets back to us and
he made a whole career off of being a bad actor yeah like literally that was like his whole shtick
is like i know i'm a bad actor i act bad in movies on purpose now because that's who i am he did
something what was he am that snowball video man
it was in my favorite movie True Romance
it's like my very favorite movie ever made
