It's a very confusing day for everybody.

Donald Trump is playing 4D chess, I guess. He's going back and forth. Tariffs on, tariffs off, tariffs on, tariffs off. And today he announced he's pausing tariffs for 90 days. There's going to be a minimum 10 percent on everybody. China is going to be hit with a 125 percent tariff. This led to the single largest stock market rally in history ever. And Democrats are angry. They're saying the right are hypocrites and because you know the right is basically saying oh the tariffs are good it's going to be good for manufacturing but then trump drops them so now it's like what about it but i think they're just coping and seething because trump is he's isolating

china he's clearly doing something and they they live in this world where it's fascinating when they say trump bankrupt i swear this is what a lot of memes are saying. Trump bankrupted all of his businesses. He bankrupted, I think, one percent of his businesses. They don't know what they're talking about. And they don't understand what it means to plan and prepare and to move. But the big counterpoint from the left is that Trump did not drop these tariffs or pause them for the most part because of some master plan, but because the bond market was collapsing. And so he panics and he caves. That's at least what the corporate press is saying. So that's the big news, because apparently some guy made 30 million dollars in a matter of minutes. Donald Trump, he posted on Truth, it's a good time to buy. And the meme now is going viral.

The guy said, the man who controls the global economy told me to buy and I didn't listen. And then everybody shot up some ridiculous percentage and made tons of money. So we're going to break all this down. We'll talk about this. And really, this is the big news. But there are a couple of other stories, one of which is the DHS is going to be screening new visa applicants for anti-Semitism in social media, which I think is just a little over the top, a little silly. I mean, obviously, we don't want people in the country that are opposed to our interests. But, you know, make it a little bit broader. Say we don't want people to interfere with our foreign policy and protest.

Hello, everybody. My name is Phil Labonte. I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band All That Remains. I'm an anti-communist and counter-revolutionary. Let's go. Here's the news from ABC News. Ladies and gentlemen, Dow closes up 2,962 points in market rally as Trump backs off of some tariffs. The president also announced a China tariff increase to one hundred and twenty five percent.

This is a how would I just a manic news cycle? Is that what we describe it? Yeah, it's every every day. It's something else abc news says the united states closed with a with major gains on wednesday after trump announced a 90-day pause on some tariffs the dow jones industrial average climbed 2 962 points marking the index's best day since 2020 so uh this is the largest uh so here's what abc doesn't want to say they're basing it on percentage points so let's make sure we doesn't want to say they're basing it on percentage points so

let's make sure we clarify this for you guys percentage point growth wise it is not the biggest the biggest 2020 straight market points it's the biggest rally in history the previous largest rally i think was around 2020 with 2100 points so this was massive meaning a lot of people got very very very rich. To put that in perspective, anyone didn't quite understand, to anyone that already understands, hear me out. If the Dow's at 1,000 and it goes up 100 points,

the entire market's gone up 10%. If the Dow's at 10,000 and it goes up 100 points, the entire market's gone up 1%. So the points isn't, it's not so important how many points it was, it's what percentage of the total has increased. And that's what Tim was explaining, that in 2020, we had the largest percentage increase this is what the second largest percent yeah so follow like i think having to do with i i i'm

pretty sure having to do with covid we saw the biggest percentage bump but in terms of raw numbers 2,962 is the largest point do you know what it's at now the market it was at 41 or something actually we do have it pulled up it's at uh 40 608 look at this jesus for uh snp is up 474.13 nasdaq is up one is up 12.16 that's crazy so uh yeah uh donald trump led china in a game of chicken. China lost. Trump now drops the tariffs for the most part. And I saw Bill Ackman. He's this billionaire who's flipped and he's been pro-Trump. And he's saying that masterfully played, brilliant strategic move by Donald Trump.

Our buddy David Pakman chimed in and said, what deal? What did he do? All he did was set fire to the system. And then when he reversed it, claimed there was a big market gain or something. I'll tell you, the market took a hit when Trump announced tariffs, big tariffs, 30 percent, 90 percent. A few days later, Trump walks it all back to a flat 10 percent.

And everyone's cheering for him. This is literally textbook art of the deal. Big ask. Trump says, we're going to put a big tariff on everybody everyone freaks out he goes okay fine fine you win only 10 and everyone's like yay and the market rallies i mean predictable i don't i don't i don't claim to know whether he intended this or not i mean the arguments that you know he was concerned about the stock market that does make a certain degree or the bond market that does make a certain degree of sense.

But maybe he did have a plan. I don't know what the guy's thinking. I'm not in the White House. It's almost like, was he thinking? Was he going on a gut hunch? Like, that's kind of, you know, when you're really making deals, you're kind of going with your gut. You're not really thinking with your, I mean, you definitely have already done the thought processes in your brain before you go into the deal-making room. But you're moving with your gut and your intuition and this i think one thing that

gives me a lot of hope in this whole thing is the the rapidity that trump and xi jinping have escalated things like there's no hesitation it's like they're both enjoying it i mean i china's a serious serious threat to the united states and people that think that China is just like a rival or whatever, they think that it's not a big deal or that we can come to agreements. Like the way that the Biden administration treated China was absolutely, I mean, it was derelict in my opinion of dereliction of duty. Like he was not protecting the United States from China. China's making massive gains in energy production. And with AI being kind of the tech of the future,

you need that kind of energy production. You need a massive ability. They've got another dam that's coming up that's going to be built in the next, I think, five years, maybe 10 years, that's going to be able to power or that will produce enough energy where it could power the entire country of Germany.

The Three Gorges now is huge. And the U.S. is is falling so far behind the the the Chinese in it when it comes to just energy production that it's going to be a real big problem. So I'm going to I'm going to break this down real simply for our Democrat friends. Uh, Phil, what would happen if you and I were trading and you were buying $1,000 worth of donuts for me, but I was only giving you $500 every month? Uh, I would stop buying them. No, but you have to keep buying them. You have to. Have to keep buying them.

Well, I mean, I would be losing out, wouldn't I? You'd be going into debt. Yeah. You'd start selling off your assets to pay for your donuts. And this is what the United States assets to pay for your donuts. And this is what the United States has been doing for 30 years. A trade deficit, which people don't really understand. If we're buying from China and they're not buying from us, they are extracting from us.

We are not producing wealth. We are on borrowed time. What ends up happening to a person who, Phil, what happens when you run out of money but you have to buy the donuts? You go into debt. You put it on your credit card. Sometimes you refinance your house to buy the donuts. It's a nice watch. I'll take your watch from you. You could sell property.

And what's been happening, China's been buying up land. Because the U.S. needs to keep buying from China as per their addictions. And the money goes to China and China uses it to buy what they can from us. If we don't produce things that they can buy and trade, they buy our land from us. And then they're renting that land out to Gen Z. It seems like having a foreign country own land in our country is antithetical to having a country. Agreed.

So wrong. Especially like a hostile, a country that's hostile toward America the way China is. It doesn't make any sense to me. When I heard they were buying up all this farmland, I'm like, why are we allowing this? Well, it's private. It's private deals, right? So people of any country are allowed to start companies in the United States. They do.

They can invest. And business people will brag about the investment from these countries into our country. And then they put in offers. There was a real estate agent who tweeted at me earlier and said that we largely are seeing Indian and Chinese buyers. They're buying multiple homes and they're renting them out. And so what happens? Gen Z owns no homes. I think Gen Z owns like 4% of the housing market right now. 4% of homes are owned by Gen Z. At the same time, when boomers were Gen Z's age, they owned I think like 30-40% of the houses.

We're looking at another 3-4% now? Is that what you said? Gen Z currently owns around like 3 or 4%. Wow. Boomers at the same. So when Gen Z was 20, max age. So right now, so this is eight years ago. When Gen Z reached the age of 20, they owned about 4%. When Boomers reached the age of 20, they owned 20%. Today, Gen Z owns, I think, like 7 or 8%. And Boomers own like 70. What? Oh.

Or some ridiculous number. What I don't like is. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I have the numbers wrong. It's 4% of Gen Z owns a home and 20% of boomers owned homes the same age. So right now, boomers 77% or it's like 80 something percent of boomers own homes and many multiple homes.

72% of Gen X owns homes. 45% of millennials own homes and then gen z is it like like seven or eight yeah because it's compounding just like our debt is compounding um so like the the amount the the wealth distribution the the value of dollars it's going down at a compounding rate um and what i don't like is wealth redistribution i don't like it when the government comes in and seizes property. And then for whatever purpose, like they're doing in South Africa, they might feel wronged by the colonization of South Africa by the British

empire at some point. So they want to seize it back. British empire. Yeah. The British got in there and no surge. No, they came down. What?

They came to South Africa after it was already populated by the Dutch, the Dutch. So they're being expelled. The purpose is foreign people out is basically the idea. And I don't want to see that here. I don't want to get to that point. But it seems just wrong that we would allow them to buy farms or residential property. So right now, the market is – this is what – Trump did this on purpose.

Okay? Here's what the left doesn't understand about a plan. A plan has variables, but these people don't understand multi-layered thinking or multi-ordered thinking. So I'm not surprised that they're like, Trump didn't plan for this. How could he have? Well, you see, let me explain. When I play a game like chess, OK, and I'm going to move a pawn, I don't think if I move this, I will. That's it it I'm going to move my pawn, this is how you Tennessee liberals think, hey that pawn should be moved, okay here's how

Trump is thinking, if I move this pawn he might move his knight there he might move his bishop there, if he moves his bishop I'm going to move my knight, if he moves his queen I'll move another pawn so you're contemplating, I am starting a plan, there are multiple variables variables, depending on what happens I am starting a plan. There are multiple variables.

Depending on what happens, I will take a different course of action. It may not work out as I'm hoping. I'm hoping that if I make this move, my opponent will move his queen, which I can then trap him. But if he doesn't do that, my plan won't work. I'll have to find another way forward. They don't get it. So they're like, how could Trump have planned for this? There's one really obvious piece of evidence that Trump intended to do this, that this there was a play.

And it is that, as I've stated from the moments he implemented universal tariffs, blanket universal tariffs do not make sense on layer one. You all know it. I said it the entire time this happened. The moment he introduced these, I said it does not make sense on layer one unless there is another play, a deeper plan we don't know about. Because putting a tariff on bananas makes no sense. We don't grow bananas here. Putting a tariff on Honduran or Guatemalan coffee makes no sense. We can't grow that here. We have one coffee.

We have Kona. So Trump doing blanket tariffs means he's thinking about something else. Mr. Beast made the point that he has to import cocoa beans to make the chocolate here in the United States. And now that there's tariffs, he might as well make them somewhere else. Exactly. So Trump drops all the tariffs back down. What do we end up with? If Trump came out and said, we're going to put a 10 percent tariff on anything, the market crashes like it did. So he comes out and says it's going to be 30, it's going to be 40, it's going to be 90, it's going to be 10, it's going to put a 10% tariff on anything. The market crashes like it did. So he comes out and says, it's going to be 30. It's going to be 40. It's going to be 90.

It's going to be 10. It's going to be 60. The market crashes. He then comes back and says, OK, OK, you win. I'm pulling tariffs down to 10%. The market rallies to the largest growth in the history of this country. And he's got the 10% tariffs universally, which still doesn't ultimately make sense unless, once again, there is another play here.

Now, what did Trump say he wanted to do when he was running for office? We wanted to swap out income tax for tariffs. Boom! So when he does a universal tariff, how does that make sense? He's bragging about generating $2 billion a day in tariff revenue. If his intention is to gut the IRS, gee, what's been going on at the IRS? They laid off how many people? They're planning on laying off half gut the IRS, gee, what's been going on at the IRS? They laid off how many people? They're planning on laying off half of the IRS workforce.

It may be that Trump is the dumbest guy ever who just slipped up an ad appeal and landed in a pile of a billion dollars. I doubt it. Or he has a strategy. That doesn't mean he will succeed. It doesn't mean his strategy is right. But it certainly means there's more to what we are seeing with the play he's making. You know, and like I think Phil mentioned earlier, it's impossible to know what exactly was going through his head.

But you're right. That is what happened. He created a large threat to the entire world, brandished the fire of America's tariff potential. People cowered, freaked out, panicked, and then he withdrew it. And he was like, now you know what we can do. Pulled it down. It's still there.

It's amazing. The market rallied, and the tariffs are still there. It's amazing. Now, one thing about tariffs, this is a little bit of a tangent. I'm interested in what you guys think. They're really,

the president's only allowed to do this if it's a state of emergency. And we've been technically at a state of emergency, I think, since 9-11. And I don't feel like we're in, you could argue that the border crossings have produced an emergency you might say the global economy is is teetering so there's an emergency but like at what point do we kind of think say like okay maybe we're not in a state of emergency anymore well actually i mean i can argue this with myself i mean i think the federal reserve co-opting our banking system has created a national emergency the president couldn't use the federal reserve as a reason to

say we're in an emergency that's just saying that the system that we use has caused an emergency i don't think that that would that would fly at all so i i want to i want to uh i do want to talk about the democrats response and their argument on bond markets before i do do want to talk about the Democrats response and their argument on bond markets. Before we do, I want to talk about the tariffs that remain on China. So outside of the major market gains, CNN, CNN ran with the headline. Trump announces 90 day pause on reciprocal tariffs. They put it in quotes with the exception of China, mentioning that he's raising the tariffs on China from 104 to 125. Now, what have we seen? If you go, so I've been browsing various subreddits and forums, and this is the death of businesses

that rely on China. I don't think Trump cares. I mean, I'm sure, you know, he'd tell you, yeah, sorry to hear about your business going under, but businesses are going to go under. Fox News ran a story where there's a toy maker, a toy distributor, and some of the products they get come from China. And their annual tariff bill went from twenty six thousand to three hundred and some thousand dollars, meaning we don't got the money to pay that. And when Trump puts these tariffs in place effective immediately as he announced, this means that your shipment, you see it coming off the coast. It's about to make port at San Pedro. And then it docks. And you go, did I make it?

And they go, nope. Trump announced the tariffs 10 minutes ago. Sorry, you're going to owe us $30,000 to get everything out of that container. And it can be sitting in the port. And it's right there. It's on the port. Like, if you want it released, pay the tariff. Now, here's where it gets crazier.

This is a nuclear bomb more than people realize. OK, China announced an 84 percent tariff in response to Trump's 104 percent. We in the United States do not just buy from China. China buys from us certain products and then we buy products back from them. Skateboards being the easiest example, because I work in this industry and because we sell skateboards. Let me tell you about the nuclear apocalypse that is coming to sporting goods. China will buy raw materials from North America, Canada or the United States. So factories in China will order North American rock maple from the U.S. So guess what?

104% tariff. 84% tariff upon landing in China, 104% upon return. So what happens is a guy, a lumber company, timbering company in the United States, gets a bunch of wood. A Chinese company orders that wood and says, we want this wood sent to China because we're going to turn it into sporting equipment.

They say, okay, now let's say, I'm going to use skateboards as an example because I know the general prices of these things. It's $10 worth of wood that will be sent to China. China will then have a peasant mold that into a skateboard for about $5. Shipping for that one piece is going to cost a couple bucks each way. So we're looking at maybe 18 to 20 dollars total cost to make that board. They then ship it back to the U.S. where a company will go to other distributors and say, we'll sell it to you for 30 Chinese made. If you go to America,

it's going to cost you 35. Here's where it gets fun. That $10 worth of wood makes land, a landfall in China with an $8.40 tariff on top for the Chinese factory. So now the hard raw cost is $18.40. They pay a Chinese peasant five bucks to mold it into a skateboard and send it back to the U.S. at $24. Now, with the 104 percent tariff, it's going to be going up to about 50 bucks for a board that should have cost 20 because the tariffs hit on both sides. Wow. Then the distributor gets it and says 50. OK, well, here's the markup. A $30 Chinese made board sells for 65 to 70 dollars. So this means now that the boards are 50 bucks instead of 20 coming in, add that 30 bucks on top. We're looking at $100 skateboards.

This is what's crazy about it, is that China will buy raw materials from us, tariffed, and then we'll buy it back from them, tariffed. This is the end, man. If this persists, there are so many industries that are going to go belly up overnight. I'm for it. Look, I feel kind of bad because I know there are people who didn't really consider the ramifications of buying Chinese. And so when, as I mentioned with Booneys HQ, and when they came to us and said, do you want to start, you're like, where do you want to buy your boards from?

We said, America always. And they said, China's five bucks cheaper. I said, no, America. There are a lot of people who don't know anything about politics. And all they were told is, here's a cheaper board. And they said, OK, when the news drops of these tariffs and it happens instantly, the shipment of boards for this company are sitting at a port. And they're going to say, look, you need $10,000 to offload this.

The tariffs, they came into place. And they're going to be like, we don't have it. It's like, OK, well, then we're sending them back in five days. You lose all your product. It goes back to China, paid for for you're not getting money back you are out of business is there a way to negate tariffs on goods and products that are created internationally intranationally i should say between china and the u.s only if we supply them with resources for them to produce a free trade agreement just a unique agreement between china and what about like a partnership across the pacific like a like a trans-pacific partnership is that what

you mean yeah something like that no i'm not for that well but if we could somehow like still tariff things that they buy i don't know i'm just thinking outside the box i don't know if it's that this is why the chinese reciprocal tariff is is crazy for a lot of industry now woods very specific a north american rock maple from North America. They're not growing that in China. And so they're buying from us. This is the stupidest thing. This is why I can't stand these free trade agreements.

It makes literally no sense. But Chinese peasant labor is cheaper than Americans. And so the industry sacrificed the American workers, shut down their factories and sold the industry to China. And today, the sport that I love, you look at the Chinese skate parks, the Chinese TV shows, it is exploding. The entirety of the skateboard industry is in Southeast Asia. Top pros that I talk to, they're like, I'm in Japan, I'm in China, I'm in Korea. And I'm like, and there's nothing in the United States. Pro skateboarders are working for Home Depot, they're working at gas stations. They're delivering Uber.

They're doing Uber Eats. Why is that? Because the industry got sold to China. Because the companies in this country said, we're going to make 5% more per year if we fire all of our employees and hire Chinese peasants to do the job instead. So it's just accessibility in the United States? The skate culture is more expensive so that it's just cheap in China or in Southeast Asia. I feel like,

you know, when you look at the average liberal, their first order thinkers, I've been describing, they don't think about how things work. So in the film Tommy Boy, we can use a movies to movies, right? He's got to go sell brake pads, just brake pads. Otherwise, the whole town dies. Why? What brings money into the town? Brake pads. That's it. It's an auto parts factory. If you get rid of the auto parts factory, the cafe goes out of business because nobody

buys coffee anymore. The grocery store goes out of business because nobody can buy groceries anymore. The real estate agents leave because no one's buying houses anymore. The same thing is true for every industry. So for skateboarding specifically, the reason why I'm loving what Trump is doing is that you had a factory. Five guys made skateboards. They had children.

They'd come home and they'd give skateboards to their children. The factory would say, let's do a demo at the park to increase interest in our product and market it. Famously in Central Park in the 60s, they did a demo of skateboards and everybody came around and it was in Life magazine. And there's the famous photo of the guy in the suit with the sunglasses riding on the skateboard. It's iconic. One day, the company said, with free trade agreements, we can do all of this with Chinese slave labor. We will sell the boards to the American people and we're going to put 10 extra dollars in our pocket or whatever the profit margin was.

Now there's no factories in the U.S. The demos started to fade and dry up because nobody was sharing the boards. Nobody was there was no culture being built around it. There was no guy with his buddies showing up to the bar after hours saying, we just got out of the woodshop factory where we make skateboards, longboards and surfboards. Gone. The peripheral of all the industry around that evaporated. And today the industry has completely collapsed. So you said you've got an American distributor, so there's something going on. Do you think like what do you foresee would be the best path forward for American industry in like the skateboard industry right now for the for the factory that you purchased from, for instance?

Should they now literally be expanding and looking at buying another factory? They're probably going to go out of business. I find it hilarious because the skateboard industry is already dead. So that means these companies that extracted, they took this sport and they put it in a cold press and they squeezed out every last drop of profit they could, leaving a dried, withered husk of a culture. And with these tariffs hitting overnight, they're not going to be able to bring these boards in the country. We invested in what remains of the manufacturers in the United States. So we have zero issues whatsoever. So those guys, those guys are good. You're talking about these guys. They get the wood, United States. Everything we get, it's all American.

So it makes so much sense. Like, I just remember, you know, growing up and there seemed to be like skate shops everywhere. And now, you know, if they're there seemed to be like skate shops everywhere. And now, you know, if I see one, it's closed down. So, wow, man, this is. Shout out to Bethesda boards in Bethesda, Maryland. I know they're doing it. I love it. I'm loving it. And I'm sure right now all of the big skate manufacturers, some of the boards are made in Mexico.

So they're probably laughing saying, okay, we got got we got, you know, USMCA. We'll see what Trump does in that regard. But all the big Chinese manufacturers are just going like, well, that's it for us. Shoes to Nike. Oh, they're on fire. Yeah. Like all these big shoe manufacturers are basically like we're done. And they're talking they're trying to build factories in Vietnam now. So Trump just this is an economic nuke on China. He has solved Thucydides' trap overnight. Basically said, if our concern is that we're going to go to war with China because of our growing economic power,

let's just destroy their economy. I've seen a lot of talk about that Xi Jinping is only as powerful as, I don't know how they phrase it, as the economy. That economy. Yeah, Kevin O'Leary was saying that. Oh no, O'Leary, we might bring this story up up o'leary said that he suggests that we put a 400 percent on china and like don't wait like do it now let's let's let's do this let's

let's show the the democrat rebuttal this is from the washington post trump caved on tariffs it took a scary bond market freak out i say hug washwash. I think Trump and his team were well aware of the risk to treasuries and bonds. I think it was worse than they probably realized. And then Trump made his move to alleviate the pressure as quickly as he could. But I believe that Trump intended to a certain degree what is going on right now. Now, The Washington Post is saying Donald Trump is pushing the economy into a recession. The early signs are already apparent with autoworker layoffs in Indiana and Michigan, a stock market sell-off in recent days, and Americans pulling back on spending. But as Trump's tariffs took effect in the wee hours of

Wednesday morning, something even more alarming occurred, panic in the bond markets. Investors started dumping U.S. government bonds. They sold and sold and sold. It's not normal. Typically, U.S. government bonds are a safe haven. Whenever stocks tank or there's turmoil around the world, investors rush to buy plain vanilla bonds from the U.S. Treasury. It's the equivalent of chicken soup for unhealthy markets. But suddenly those bonds turned bitter. OK, I'll give you the real simple version of this. Bonds are basically the government's guaranteeing the money. You put the money in, you get a guaranteed return. So if you if you're worried the market's going to be volatile, you buy a bond at 5 percent, you're going to get 5 percent back. I think every year and then the money that, you know, when your bond matures, you get the money back as well.

So the bet was we think the U.S. government ain't going to go anywhere and they'll blow anybody up who stops us. The Democrats are arguing that Trump caved and shut down the tariffs because bonds were collapsing. And that meant the global economy was on the verge of flipping upside down and being destroyed. I don't agree with this because in the in the liberal worldview, they're saying Trump did not think about what could happen if he made these moves. Trump may not be playing 4D chess. He's probably just playing regular chess, meaning he's at least considering if we do this move with tariffs, what will happen? Here's five potential scenarios. OK, the bond market was probably one of them.

They were hoping it wasn't to get so bad. It got bad. Trump said, OK, pull the trigger and let's drop the tariffs down to 10 percent. Now everything seems to be stabilizing. I don't think we can just continue the way we have, you know, Trump came in, you know, and is going and shaking things up. And I appreciate it personally, you know, I don't think that we can continue going on the way we have business as usual, you know, Biden got in and there was no shaking up of anything except, you know, in the wrong direction.

Right. If you see what he was doing in education, like, you know, I'm big on talking about that kind of stuff was going on in the schools with the kids. You know, so everything Biden was doing was just trying to destroy America. You know, I feel like Trump is trying to bring us back, you know, and if it's going to take a little pain at first, it's like, let's weather the storm. This is for our children. This is for our future. Yeah. It's about things not go like income tax. It's hard for me to imagine a world without income tax, but it's relatively new in our culture, like a hundred years, you know, relatively, um, that's crazy. Yeah. Just maybe that was like a non-sustainable check this out. This might freak everybody out, but did you know that like 150 years ago i could hand you a 20 bill crazy yeah can't do that anymore like you can but irs will come at you if they find out that woman from

the irs who just resigned because they were going to start deporting they wanted the data to deport people and she was like i can't do that. But the IRS has increased collections on poor people over the past several years. They got no problem with that. Man, I think reducing income tax makes a lot of sense, if not negating it, because, like, look at crypto. No one is paying income tax on crypto trades. I mean, maybe they are, but...

Oh, bro, Uber. ...trying to track that crap. Uber. What about Uber? People aren't paying taxes. Uber drivers? I don't know about Uber specifically, but the reason we're seeing these Uber laws is because of the gig economy, people are just taking the money and they're not filing it. It's like a de facto common sense tactic.

If you make a law that you can't enforce, you look like a mocker. You look like a fool. You look like an idiot. So if you can't enforce the law, I think repealing it might not be that bad. I mean, you just kind of got to accept the flow. What makes you look like more of a—what is more mockable? If someone makes a law that they can't enforce the law i think repealing it might not be that bad i mean you just kind of got to accept the flow you know what makes you look like more of them what's what is more mockable if someone makes a law that they can't enforce if what's more mockable making a law that you can enforce or making a law admitting that you can't enforce it or no making a law and selectively

enforcing it right don't always enforce it but when you can find people and and when you can find someone that does you go ahead and enforce it so you're basically not enforcing the law over everybody it's selectively enforced or making a law and admitting we actually can't do this so we're going to repeal it i think i i consider it more of a mockery to be completely unable to to enforce the law it's like why what is what is this just on paper like what are you doing are you trying to that's why they selectively enforce it maybe that's why that's what i'm saying so it's it's more like you make yourself look like more of a fool by passing a law and then saying well we don't have the power to enforce that the government doesn't do that

the government's going to pass the law they're going to keep the law in place and they're not going to enforce it all the time they're going to enforce it whenever they can or they're going to use it as a means to attack people they don't like. It was the same thing with marijuana. Same thing they did with marijuana. With the law in the 60s and 70s, they went after the Black Panthers

and the hippies with it. It was such an easy thing to use when you needed it. It was such crap. I mean, they would pick anyone up. If they caught people with pot, I know a lot of people that, you know, of all different races that got caught with pot and got in trouble for it, you know. But when it comes to some, you know, when it comes to major legislation, they're not going to repeal it. They're going to selectively, they're going to use it as a selective enforcement and they're going to attack their political opponents with it.

I think that's the weaponization of the law for sure i i would like to see though like a just you know correction that i wish i was 150 years old so i could remember what it was like before we had income tax so that when you can go to your neighbor and be like hey can you help me uh hammer in this fence post i'll give you 30 i'll give you 20 cents well i guess back then it'd be like i gave you two cents yeah you know two pence now and that's britain oh maybe they did in britain too yeah and you could like have like 10 of your friends come over and build a house and then give them all a little bit of the money and then you all of a sudden have a business now you can't now in west virginia you can't actually even contract private individuals the individual can't work in west virginia it's

illegal that's gotta change yep if you are an individual and you decide to come to West Virginia and you're like, I will do some odd jobs for cash. No, that's illegal. What? Yeah. They banned it. You got to start a corporation and get your company hired by their company to. Yep. You got to pay it.

You got to pay to incorporate. You got to open a corporate bank account. It's like $1,200 too. It's great. And it's because people started doing jobs on gig apps and they're not paying their taxes. I can't find confirmation of this, but there are a couple big Twitter accounts that are reporting that China says it's willing to

negotiate tariffs but will fight to the end if the U.S. refuses to compromise. Yeah, that was the other day, I think. No, that was just like two minutes ago. They said they will fight to the end. Well, the point that I well, like I said, I can't find an actual official confirmation. Like multiple accounts are saying China is saying that they want to come to the table to negotiate about tariffs.

And they I think they sent out a call like all countries of the world join us in empowering our global economy. And people are like, yeah, right. Sorry, China. Like, you're cool and all. But like I said, I'm looking I'm looking. I haven't seen, like, Reuters or anything talking about it, but there are multiple accounts that are talking about it. And they were mostly small until Watcher Guru, with 3 million followers, started talking about it. Well, until we get official confirmation, I say shenanigans. Yep. I mean, why wouldn't China negotiate? They've been isolated. Trump's got the whole world negotiating with us for trade deals and China's cut out.

He's got him in a tough spot. Look, China is an adversary. Like, we don't have to treat them like, you know, maybe they're not to the level that Putin is. But in the future, we're going to have to deal with the fact that China is not a friend to the United States. We are not, you know, we're adversaries. They don't look at the United States as friendly. Look at the way they treated the Biden administration when they met in Alaska. They were they straight out said, you're not in a position of strength with us. us did you guys see united states needs to become needs to get into an economic and and then we need

to remain in a military position posture that that that allows us to deal with china the way that china wants to deal with us because china's not looking to be our friend yeah and i think they're used to biden people like that just rolling over this i got this article from msn biden admin held private talks with beijing on chinese spy balloon ahead of notifying public yeah like they were planning it what do they let them map our country with some for some company they want to do apparently they know where all our bases like apparently there is something that came out during the biden administration now this it didn't become public but there was uh information that came out that by the the i believe the i didn't I didn't read it. I heard someone talking about it, because they, I don't know if it was because they knew because of the involvement of the CDC or whatever,

but if that's the case, you know, China is going to respond to that kind of wishy-washy leadership by being more aggressive. Yes, yes, yes. It's like a smelling blood in the water, a shark. They get aggressive, you know, that kind of mentality. We got behave that way as well. China doesn't look at the U.S. that way. And the United States should have a posture that countries like China, that countries like Russia, they are not partners.

We are not, you know, Hillary Clinton going to Russia with the reset button was a complete joke. They are not our friends, and we should not behave as if they are. What gets me is that they're an incredibly valuable and lucrative partnership in waiting. If that maybe it means they need a new set of governance where it's not so top-down central authority type thing, but like the people are cool.

Chinese people are great. How do you know? Governments, I've chatted with them on chat roulette over the years. They were all very cool. And when you go to a lot of these countries i've never been on the ground in china um i've been in the airport but uh for regular people it's it's it's largely the same getting food in the afternoon right and you know it's except for like religious fundamentalist

countries where they beat you in the street for not dressing appropriately you know in china you i you know i've watched videos of people who, you know, I watch skate videos and travel videos. People go to the store, they buy food, they go outside and they go to the park and then they sit at the park. It's like... I think the Chinese government wants to maintain that too. It's the obsessive... I don't want to... Okay, it seems like they're obsessed with control, like the central control, central authority, don't, you know, the party must reign supreme, et cetera, et cetera. I don't know if that's true it seems like it for sure it is yeah um but other than that i i'm sure they want to maintain order is it true that the farmland they've been buying

around the u.s is like around military bases some of it i don't know how pronounced that is one of those memes that went viral claiming they were buying land claimed that china owns the entirety of the island of hawaii i'm pretty that's not true, but everybody was sharing it. And I was like, I think Dr. Phil talking about it. There, there, there are reports that they're buying land near military bases, but they're buying a lot of land in general. And there's also, there's a lot of military bases.

Yeah. Right. So let's jump to this story from the daily mail guys. This is really crazy with all of the insanity in the news today. I can't believe this story was not bigger. Albuquerque is calling in the National Guard due to violent crime. This is a really big deal. But it's no one really was talking about it.

They say a state of emergency has been declared in New Mexico's largest city as the governor calls in the National Guard to help combat out of control crime. Action by the Democratic governor clears the way for dozens of guard members to help Albuquerque Police Department starting next month. About 60 to 70 soldiers will be stationed in the largest city, home to over a quarter of the state. From six months to a year, Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham told reporters Tuesday. Grisham pulled the trigger after the chief of police asked for assistance at the end of March. So I guess, I guess defunding the police didn't work out for these Democrat states, huh? This is, this is what happens, man. You know, my family actually fled California, you know, because of things like this, you

know, the governance. Like, Newsom is a horrible, horrible governor. Like I I'm like we moved to Texas and like it's it's so much freer. You know, you just feel it in the air. The people are nicer. And I love California. You know, I grew up in California, man. But it's just sad to see what has happened there. Even the policies that they're implementing, you know, they became, was it the first state to allow, I think it was 15-year-olds to get,

you know, the surgeries, the surgery. Right. Yeah, so just things like that, man, what's going on in the schools, you know, it's just horrible, man. It's sad to see what has happened to what was once a great state you know when i mean this is crazy yeah when did you move out of cali i still want to talk this was about three years ago so i i literally was born and raised in california man and it's it's really all i knew but we we didn't feel like we had a choice you know i have a family you know i have three daughters so i'm like we

can't raise them in this kind of environment you know where they're letting out you know, I have three daughters, so I'm like, we can't raise them in this kind of environment, you know, where they're letting out, you know, people who do things to children. Is it similar over there in New Mexico? I don't know much about New Mexican. Mexico is very Democrat and crime is running rampant. Yeah. These border states are going to need to start taking security very seriously. I'm like, oh, I want to live in the desert. I'm like, I don't want to. Is Trump going to have to live in the desert. I'm like, I don't want to live near that border. Is Trump going to have to go in and enforce the law?

The Insurrection Act says when local laws are not being enforced, the president can take command of the National Guard and move in. Okay. Well, I like that the state called up its own National Guard. That's a good sign. No, it's not. I mean, it's not a good sign for the world, but it's a good sign that the state's taking the authority

and not just letting it happen so that the president's not going to need to get involved i'm kind of shocked that nobody cares about this story like not that nobody cares but that it just wasn't on the radar of anybody and uh you know are they defunding the police i mean all the democrat cities were i'm just saying like guys crime has gotten so bad that the state has declared a state a state of emergency like that's how bad it is and we're like well we got we got bigger fish to fry you know guys, crime has gotten so bad that the state has declared a state of emergency. Like, that's how bad it is. And we're like, well, we got bigger fish to fry.

You know, the global economy is in chaos. Yeah, there's like layers of emergency all happening at once. We got the global economic emergency. Then we got these state emergencies. Mary came on the show and said nothing ever happens. Dude, the last five days have been wild. The other day when we were getting ready for the show, I said to her, I was like, so are you still in camp? Nothing ever happened?

She's like, that stuck with you, didn't it? And I was like, yes, because literally nothing will stop happening. Everything is happening all the time, and I'd love to just, I don't know, play some Fallout or something. Yeah, real life's better, but that would be kind of cool too. It's like every day I sit down and I'm like, here's 57 stories, and I'm like, ugh. Yeah, you said you were like maybe had your head in the internet too much. Have you been feeling that lately?

No, I was joking. God, dude, it's so intense in there, man. Especially X, like social media, man. It gets so crazy. You know, bombs are being thrown here, lobbed here. Everybody's, you know bombs are being thrown here lobbed here everybody's you know fighting that's why it took it took me actually a while to really take x serious because of that kind of environment you know this was even before elon stuff like you know this was happening so it's kind of sometimes i

have to like step away from social media and just give it a break because it can feel like it's overwhelming i get i get that with text a lot because if I go in in a rough, bad headspace and I just read, I'm putting my bad tone on the text and it's like compounding my emotions. Video at least takes me into their feel and I can feel their vibe and it'll lift me up if they're in a good place. But the text is like just a, God, hell zone of trying to dodge these emotions. One thing I love about social media, though, is the information that we're allowed to be, you know, privy to now. You know, like before we had to take the media's word for it.

Like, you know, we just watched, oh, this is what happened over here. This is what happened over there. We just believed it you know but now it's like we have people who are doing great you know journalism and actually getting on the ground and investigating and you know we're able to find these people on social media and connect with them and you know i think that's one good thing about yeah for better or for worse i mean on the inverse you have a bunch of weirdos doing the same thing and causing problems right aoc would never have gotten elected to office if it wasn't for the internet. She and the squad get all their donations from outside their district.

So basically, you get some fringe crackpot that no one thinks is worth electing. But then she tells all the other fringe crackpots around the country, and they money to her and then she's rich and then she you know and they do all that internet censorship is to prevent a crazy person from getting all these votes and money from all around the world and becoming powerful they're like we can't but then that's like happening anyway and so and we're free speech we don't want to censor people like cortez anybody really you know if you want to use the law to your advantage and use social media to get elected? These companies are doing it anyway, though. I was talking about it on the write-up. You know, if you've been on TikTok, you know,

I've been banned about seven to eight times on TikTok already. Okay, so these companies are doing it already. Facebook just took me down for like two weeks, and Mark Zuckerberg supposedly, you know, changed his ways, right? He grew out the hair, and, you know, he's cool now and he supports Trump. But I was taken down off Facebook for about two weeks straight. They just put my personal page back up. You know, like I said, TikTok eight times been banned.

Instagram censors me out of this world. Dude, that's and TikTok is the most censorious. But you got Trump sycophants who are just acting like, let's not ban it. Let's not control it. No, that's crazy. I didn't like the way they went about the ban because I felt like it was going to set a precedent so they could ban X next. That's a lie. You don't think it would have?

I was concerned that it would have. This is the funniest thing. There was never a component of that. We went through the bill over and over and over again. It was never going to ban X. There were just people who wanted to defend TikTok who were lying. TikTok is bad. We need control of it. And then they banned it. They through the bill over and over and over again it was never going to ban x there were just people who wanted to defend tiktok who were lying tiktok is bad we need control of it and then they banned it they passed the bill and then trump just was like yeah we're just going to ignore it what happened did they repeal it did they did not go through that the senate i don't

know yeah it's passed so the how is he just ignored how exactly what is what is the mechanism by which the president of the united states has ignored a bill that was passed by both houses of Congress, signed by the president, and upheld by the Supreme Court? And the president goes, no. Orange man, bad. Is it because we're in a state of emergency so he can override? No, he's just not doing it. Ostensibly, the president can decide how he executes laws passed by Congress. And he's decided that he's going to execute this one slow and sloppy, maybe.

I mean, he's just or that he's not going to execute it. He's the president shouldn't have this discretion. Right. Congress passes a law. The president, especially one that goes to the SCOTUS and Supreme Court comes out, comes out and says, yes, this is this is OK. And like Tim said, one that he himself signed. Right.

So the Congress passes it. The president signs it. Biden signed it. Like right before he left office. Was it Biden? I think Biden signed it. Oh, Biden signed it. OK, my bad.

So so Biden signs it, goes to the SCOTUS, comes back and then President Trump just decides he's not going to. This is the same same reasoning that obama used when it came to like dreamers right the the deferred action for whatever residents or whatever childhood arrivals yeah um these people were illegally here illegally but they came here as children and president obama said we're not going to deport them because it's mean. But legally, they're supposed to get the port. You know, and but the president has that kind of discretion to as to how he's going to implement the laws passed by Congress. In my opinion, it should not be.

He shouldn't have so much leeway he should have to particularly when there are certain things that you know he's forced to like when it comes to like spending bills and stuff like that he's he has to spend all of the money if i understand correctly he has to spend all the money and if he doesn't that's some kind of dereliction that congress would get all worked up about so there he should be required to to actually enforce the laws that are passed i like like that discretion on how to uphold the law within some sort of variant or gradient of actually enforcing the law. You can't just use your discretion to enforce it zero. It has to be at least you're enforcing it, and then you can maybe have some leeway of how you're going to do that. I would think so, but apparently not.

You know, so I get it. especially something that's like tiktok is nationals the point of tiktok is it's national security ostensibly right there are people that are going to say oh it's because of israel and stuff but the argument is this is a this is a national security issue because it's owned by china and china again i completely agree when people say that China is not a friend they are actually a rival their behavior and their long-term goals are a threat to the United States we should not be you know playing with China like this we should be we should have a hard line with China yeah and they flat out just ban conservatives and Trump supporters and while letting all other kinds of content just go crazy and promote, you know, the gender fluidity to kids and, you know, people

having chopped off members. They have no problem promoting that stuff. But when it comes to conservative views, they silence people. And I'm a living example of that about seven, eight times. And it's not like I'm on there bashing people or anything. I'm not. I'm giving a conservative, a Christian conservative view on things. Let's jump to this next story.

Ladies and gentlemen, we got this one from the Daily Mail. The Austin Metcalf conspiracy theory destroyed by spokesman for Killer Boy whose family can no longer go outside. Okay, this is uh a weird way to phrase the story but for many of you you may have seen this a story of carmelo anthony and austin metcalf now when i heard that carmelo anthony stabbed a high school uh sports

a high school athlete i was shocked that a former nba player would go to a high school and stab a kid but in fact this is a different carmelo anthony he's got his name's a high school and stab a kid. But in fact, this is a different Carmelo Anthony. His name's after the K and not a C. Yeah, and some people want to hear about Carmelo Anthony stabbing that guy. I was like, what? NBA dude? Okay, so the story's really crazy. Right now, the big controversy is that GoFundMe,

not GoFundMe, GiveSendGo, is running a fundraiser for, let me see if I can find the GiveSendGo for Carmelo. People are demanding that it, is this it right here, Help Carmelo Official Fund? Yup. Look at this right here. $293,417 raised for Carmelo. It's the official support fund for his family.

People are demanding on the right that Give, Send, Go be boycotted because they should not be allowing this killer to raise money and the money should go to the victims. Jacob Wells, who I believe he's the he's a co-founder of Give, Send, Go. He says people are mad about our stance to allow Carmelo Anthony family a campaign on Give, Send, Go. And I get it. It's a horrible situation. There are even calls for a boycott. But because I know a similar scenario will happen again for someone on the right and our competitor won't allow them a campaign, even though it is a legal endeavor, people will be back to using Give, Send, Go because we are the only fundraising platform that truly stands on freedom and principle. I want to meet that guy, that CEO. That sounds very cool.

So Gunther Engelman says it's sickening. The money should go to the victim's family. And some people are defending them while others are saying they don't they ban groups that support physical violence of any kind. OK, so I've read this story and I've covered it. And I am actually shocked to find that so many conservatives are demanding the money be rescinded. I don't get it. They're not raising money for violence.

He's raising money for legal defense. Legal defense. The official story, as per witnesses in the police report, there was a I think they have a photo of the tent actually in this article. We use that because that matters. Here's the here's the it's it's Ky Kendall Stadium in Frisco, Texas. Here's a tent. You can see it's cordoned off. So apparently there was an argument between Carmelo Anthony, who was from a rival school, who was there, and there were a bunch of kids from this town or whatever, and they got into an altercation. They told him he wasn't supposed to be there. Apparently they

had words. Carmelo Anthony pulled a knife out from his bag and said, touch me and see what happens. Witnesses said either he was touched or grabbed. They were different with accounts, but that Austin McA different accounts, he asked if Austin was going to be okay and said it was self-defense. He asked. He said he grabbed me and I said self-defense. The family is arguing it was self-defense. It's strange to me that with this story, the right is adamant that this kid just killed another kid and he should go to prison forever. And I'm like, we don't even know what happened. Like you've got witness testimony that sounds like a fight happened at a school. Then I've heard the argument. Yeah, well, he shouldn't have had a knife. He brought a knife to a school and it's like, okay, what kind of knife was it?

Was it a utility knife? Was it a switchblade? Was it a machete? Like, did he have a steak knife? Is he, was he coming back from culinary class where he had fine Japanese blades for cutting cucumbers? I have no idea. You're allowed to carry knives. I'm pretty sure in Texas, especially if it's like a utility blade. You're also not allowed to grab people. So the crazy thing about this story is that people are demanding give, send, go. Take down a fundraiser.

I'm like, what is this? Go fund me? No. But I also want to say to Jacob Wells, why is he acting like I can't do it because someone on the right will have to? No. If I was CEO, I'd come out and be like, I don't care what you think. Bye. Boycott me. Go away. It's a legal matter. It's going to go to the courts. A jury's going to figure it out, and people can raise money for legal defense. Thank you. Bye. I think what Jacob Wells is

doing is noble, and that it's important that we have a neutral fundraising platform for crowdfunding, and if Gibson goes going to lead the charge on that, I'm happy to support them. Yeah, I think it's sad how, like, this story, you know, is really just getting people to the point of this racial thing that the father was trying to stop. Like, people are angry because the father came out and says, you know, he's trying to forgive the kid who killed his son. And I did a video, you know, where I was pretty much appreciating the father doing that, you know, because as a Christian, it's like

forgiveness is something you're supposed to be doing, right? The Lord, when he was on the cross, says, forgive them. Father, forgive them for they know not what they do. So I just think it's sad, man. These are two young people. You know, one's probably going to go to prison. I don't know. Like you said, let the courts play it out. The other one is no longer here, you know, and it's sad.

You have this father who's trying to bring people together and tell people, you know, it's not, it wasn't racially motivated. Right. But you have two sides who are just, it's nasty, man. It's gotten nasty. People are saying that Texas schools ban weapons. Okay. I'm just saying, like, why are people acting like this is a case where a dude showed up to murder somebody it's like a dude shouldn't have had a weapon so he's gonna get

he's gonna get some kind of like manslaughter charge or something like that uh and then the fight broke out it shouldn't have happened i it's it's i you know i gotta be honest i get it's a bad story um i don't know why people are losing their minds over it yeah well the racial component is why you know people i guess you want to jump in and take sides and they they want to you know if I don't know why people are losing their minds over it. Yeah. Well, the racial component is why. I guess. People want to jump in and take sides, and they want to, you know, if they've got a preconceived notion about another group of people, they're just like, oh, you know, well, that's how it is. I mean, like, certain stories become memes in and of themselves.

Oh, yeah. And let me clarify what I'm saying. It's that every single day I see, like, 12 stories like this. So when the story popped up, I was like, why is this story like the meme? Like, why is this the story? His name's Carmelo Anthony, probably. Yeah, maybe, because of viral search trends. Because, I mean, we got stories in, bro, Baltimore and D.C. are right here, dude.

You want to Google such a story about a white kid who got stabbed to death by a black guy? You can. I'll tell you. Go to Chicago. It happens every day. Military tactic for our adversaries. You use artificial intelligence or just farms of dudes to repost and racially inflame in the comments and make it look like it's a bigger deal than it is to displace our consciousness here in the United States to make us hate each other.

So we've got to be real careful that we're attuned to that. Right, and that's something that I definitely see happening. You know, a big part of my platform, I don't know if you guys know, but I went, you know, actually the first time or the second time I went viral, what this video blew up was when I did a video with my daughter on critical race theory, right? And the things that were taking place in the schools and how young white kids were being told that they're inherently racist. They were born racist. And young black kids were being told that, you know, no matter what they do in America,

people are always going to, you know, do this to them and not allow them to prosper because of their skin color. Right. And one of my things has been, you know, just trying to break that down, man, and break those barriers and show people that race is not as big as we make it. Democrats have kept racism alive in America. It was on life support. And now I feel like when things like this happen or stories like this happen, it seems like a lot of people on the right are now trying to bring race to the forefront. And it's like, dude, listen, we can talk about, you know,

what's going on in each race and all that. We can do that. But why can't we do it civilly? Why do we have to, you know, get on these platforms and just hate each other, you know? I figured, I'm reading the chats. I understand what everyone's saying that I didn't understand about the story. When laws are passed banning weapons from zones like a weapon weapon free zone, you're not allowed to bring them there.

And you and if a fight breaks out, you can't use them. That's why he's going to jail. OK, so like, you know, weapon free zones, you don't bring weapons there. Yeah. Like self-defense is not going to apply to a weapon free zone. If you bring a weapon to a place where they tell you can't have weapons, your self-defense argument is not going to apply to a weapon-free zone. If you bring a weapon to a place where they tell you you can't have weapons, your self-defense argument is not going to apply. Yeah, and in Texas, they have two different – there are two different signs. Like they can have a sign that says you're not allowed to conceal, and they have signs that say you're not allowed to open carry.

And if they post either of them, you're required to abide by what the store or the property owner says. Right. So regardless of what the circumstances around the guy's character, because people are saying he skipped school, he wasn't supposed to be there. Right, right. But that's not going to play out in a court. Yeah, he's just a geek. If you go into an area where they've banned weapons

and you bring a weapon, you have no self-defense argument if someone puts their hands on you. Okay? You can't do that. You know, what you were saying, Corey, like... So, like, you know, if you're in a school and someone grabs you and you're armed, you're, you have no second amendment rights. It's just, it's null.

You're not gonna be able to argue that the law is the law. You can't defend yourself. Yeah. Well, you can't, you just can't use a weapon. Okay. Legally. Right. Right.

And so, and so, so what it is, is he brought a weapon into a no weapons allowed area. And then when the guy put his hands on him, whether it was touching or grabbing, he's got no he's not a claimant self-defense. Interesting. So, you know, I was in kind of the wrap of what you're saying about racism. Like, I think I'm with you. It's it's I think it's interesting to talk about the differences of just our ancient history, like our ancestors genetics. And like, that's the literal differentiations between our physiologies is cool.

And to have that normal conversation and just be like, oh, awareness, I love that. And if we could do that rationally as a culture, because the other stuff is like, yeah, everyone's different. We're all very similar. We're all different. There it is.

We all have eyeballs. I think people were basically, well, a few people, people not a lot of people but when i posted this story it was i had a few people in the comments who were saying i was only defending the father's actions because the killer was black and he would make black people this makes black people look better it makes us look bad he said it makes you guys look bad. And I'm like, who's you guys? Like your people. And I'm like, who's my people?

My people are Christians. I love that, yeah. It's not a skin color. None of that, all that's irrelevant. I have brothers who are Asian. I have brothers who are white. I have brothers who are black. I have brothers who are Hispanic, right?

That's my people. Well, I just got to say right now, you know, guys in the chat, you know, it's a bit histrionic. I don't I don't know what you're what I don't know. I think there's no coherent response now because now everyone's angry saying that's not true. You have a right to defend yourself no matter what. Well, no, he went to a school with a weapon. You can't bring weapons to schools in any capacity. That's why this is not a case of tough defense. But now people are arguing, saying it's wrong. It's a stand your ground state. And even if you're at a school,

you have a right to defend yourself. Some people are saying you have no right to use lethal force if someone is shoving you, while others are also claiming you do. So you guys work it out in the chat. I'm going to say you're all right. You're all right. Everybody is correct in this regard.

It's Schrodinger's self-defense. If the Democrats and Republicans, if it's a Democrat or Republican state regardless, and they pass a bill saying we ban weapons, then you simultaneously do and do not have a claim of self-defense. You simultaneously do and do not have a right to defend yourself using any force necessary to protect yourself from perceived bodily harm. And everyone's just angry about this story. So whatever the issue is, you're all correct. Anger is normal. Everyone's right. Confusion leads to madness, which can lead to anger.

Get used to it. Or just understand why you're confused. There's that famous story in Texas, I think it was. I think it was Texas, where they banned, there was some kind of handgun ban. I can't remember. Maybe it was Texas. But I was in Chicago, and there was a gun rights rally, uh, there was some kind of handgun ban. I can't remember. Maybe it was Texas, but I was, I was in Chicago and there was a gun rights rally and some woman was speaking. I think it was at like the, the daily center. And her story was, and you guys probably know the story is she was, she, she had her handgun in her car and she went into the restaurant and

normally she could bring it in with her, but they passed a law saying she couldn't. And then someone started shooting and she had no access to her weapon because it was in her vehicle. So she couldn't defend herself. And it's like a very famous gun rights activist woman who tells the story all the time. And this is the argument people have for the Second Amendment and stop because someone declares they can put up a sign saying, you know, we don't allow weapons in this place. So I do think there is an issue of it depends on what the knife was. It's not so much whether he had a knife or didn't. Unless they – if it's a knife ban zone, then the state is going to do what they want. They're going to say we ban weapons.

There's no self-defense claim here. But usually what would happen is if he had an illegal knife, like something actually designed for combat or a weapon, and threatened him with it, then you're not getting off. As opposed to like a butter knife from the cafeteria. Well, not a butter knife, but like a utility knife. Could have done it with a butter knife if you do it right. I mean, it would have been harder. But if he did it with like a legal knife that was on the property and he pulled out a knife that he's allowed to have, what?

Legal is an issue here because certain knives may be illegal, but they're intended for inflicting bodily harm on somebody. Like if you have a utility knife, like a Leatherman or something, that's not intended to hurt somebody. If you have a switchblade, they're going to say you had a weapon with the intent to commit harm. And also if you have a dull blade, but you use it threateningly, you've turned it into a weapon like a shovel.

You might just have a shovel, but if you go to hit somebody or you get somebody with it, you've created, that's a lethal weapon. You know, you gotta be so so uh the chat is split between they want to unsubscribe because they want me to be angrier and also i'm wrong and should advocate for the right to defend yourself with any by any means necessary stand your ground even if it's a knife or a firearm i gotta say talk about an eclectic chat of super humans that this is is my main point about this story that I don't understand. That people are angry saying that this guy, for one, shouldn't have a legal defense. And I'm like, I don't care if he does.

Like, they tried taking away copyright, not a legal defense. Give, send, go is going to allow anybody to raise money. Okay, and? And then the issue is, do you have a right to use weapons to defend yourself, yes or no? Yes in this case, no in this this case i got no idea what these people are advocating for yeah like if he picked up a cafeteria tray is that legal like well i mean he was on it was on school property so the school likely had a no weapons policy i don't know and i don't know what this actually turns into legally i'm just talking about like the the general rules

that you end up you see in places like this he had you know the school had probably had a no weapons policy most schools do so if it is a situation of if you have a weapon in a place where you're not supposed to have weapons therefore you can get charged with something that normally wouldn't be a charge it's that's possible but again i don't know the legality in texas i don't know what the the specific rules are when it comes to where they were or you know or what so yeah because you could see that just having the weapon means that there's intent just i think the weapon i think the bigger picture is my confusion on this is why it became such the like the the biggest story it was on fox news they ran the story biggest story. It was on Fox news. They ran the story

several times. And I was just like, yeah, it's a tragedy. I mean, I wish it didn't happen. This is terrible. I think that the, the, the dude's going to get, uh, probably some kind of manslaughter, uh, or, or, or something like that. I doubt he'll get, um, premeditated or passion murder, but, uh, you want to Google it. You'll find 12 stories right now they're identical in a bunch of different places that's why i'm like why is everybody so hot over this like they're going after the the founder carmelo anthony went number three overall baby did he really yeah he was he was good he was really well you know carmelo anthony to see this the co-founder of give send go have to come out and defend his platform because they're calling for a boycott of gives

give send go i'm like even even if this is like a cut and dry the kids get locked up why are people saying don't allow him a leak like a fundraiser for legal defense i put those people on blast i think i want to hear from them like if you're gonna if you're gonna call for this guy to shut down somebody's free speech and opportunity to work within the commons to provide for legal defense you need to back up why you think that because that's antithetical to the United States Constitution. Yeah, it's a sad story, man. Rest in peace to Austin Metcalf. I'm glad that his father came out and said what he said, you know, trying to bring unity to the country and not further divide us.

Like in that moment, he could have said something entirely different than what he said right and he could have pushed the racial thing and the racial narrative that this was racially motivated you know but he didn't you know yeah we have one super chat reality is hard says possessing a weapon on school grounds in texas is a separate third degree felony yeah you you have no right to bear weapons of any kind at schools i they've made it illegal yeah you know and and and the second amendment is up for a vote and we voted that you have no right to bear arms of any kind uh whatever they may be if we vote you have no right to do it so second amendment doesn't exist man it's such a it's it's like a moral argument because i don't want kids getting into fisticuffs and one of them pulling out a weapon.

If I can somehow legislate or come in as an overlord, like a principal, and say, hey, no weapons, just so you got no weapons. You can fight. Don't fight. Don't fight. Don't fight. You shouldn't really say that you can fight. I'm not telling them to. That should be against the rules.

It is, but at least no one's going to get killed. Right. Hopefully they have to. I mean, you get punched once and then you could die. Yeah, it's less like I've seen a guy body slam a kid. You can definitely. That's not good. Exactly. You pick someone up and you throw them on the ground.

You hit their they hit their head and they may never get a weapon. But I'm on board. Oh, good. Y'all convinced me I am on board. No more Second Amendment. Just we voted it out. We say you're not allowed to have weapons. And I'm not saying specifically to this case with this kid, but y'all are the people that are saying

he shouldn't have had a weapon. It's a weapon free zone. Correct. From now on, no one's allowed to have guns. If we vote, you can't have kids allowed to have weapons, guns. Second Amendment says they can go back 200 years and parents, you know, a dad would give his 13 year old son the rifle to go out. They had guns in kitchens. So if you go to, uh, I think Stonewall Jackson's house is like 15 minutes from here and you can do a tour of the house and they have a, they have a musket on the wall in the kitchen. And when they're giving the tour, they explain, uh, what they would do for dinner is they would open the back door, grab the musket, load it up and stand there and wait. And then they would blast a critter,

walk over, grab it, and throw it in the stew. I was like, what? No, yeah. They'd stand out there and wait for a groundhog or something. Bam! And then they'd pick it up, pull out the round, and then gut it and throw the meat into the stew. You know, I'm a big...

Backyard varmint. I'm a big fan of the North, the Union, but Stonewall Jackson was the man. I don't know much about his personal life, but he was a great general. Or he was, I guess he was second in command. Was he a general? He was generally his number two guy. When Stonewall Jackson got killed by his own men coming back from a sortie, he was going into spy.

He came back. They couldn't tell who he was, and they shot him. They accidentally killed him. That was the South lost the war after that. He was like the guy. He was the driving nail of that army. Damn. Yeah, I got to go see his house.

Sounds epic. Let's jump to this next story. A story that matters. I don't know a lot, a little. What do you think? Trump signs a ticket order to make showers great again. Ending Obama Biden war on water pressure. You know, it was maybe 10 years ago. I realized the whole water conservation thing was fake.

Yep. Yeah. What do you mean by that exactly? Dream Peace famously had these toilets, says urban legend, where it's a two-step toilet where you step up onto the seat and then sit on the top. And you do your number one business up top. Then you climb down to the bottom to do your second business and then flush with your first business. Okay.

And they do it because they save water. I heard that. I do know that they had offices that didn't. They were waterless systems. Yep. So after you would go, it would drain straight away, so it would smell. The issue, the reason why we use water for toilets is that there's the curve.

And so the water pools and it blocks the gases from coming up. And so when you flush, the water pressure pushes everything down. I think it was Thomas Crapper that invented that. Was it really? Yeah, that's where they got the word crap from. Pretty sure it was Thomas Crapper. So I don't know why, but the left has been adamant on reducing water use. Now, this makes sense locally in some places, like if you live in if you live in a Great Lakes city, lake depletion is a real issue. But this universal national everybody must use low flow shower heads makes no sense. And then it was really something when I got my first well and I was like, oh, water conservation is fake. We're on well water here. It's like it's literally impossible

for us to run out of water. Maybe maybe a 50,000 people all moved to the exact same spot and all started tapping into that shore, the well, the groundwater get sucked out or whatever. But for the most part, most people live in areas where there's a groundwater table that's replenished all the time and they're not putting a dent in it at all. So the left has been adamant on this. Your toilets don't flush properly. Your flowers, your showers don't flow properly. And then passing regulations to ban people from being able to buy showers that actually clean you off. So Trump signed an executive order i guess that's why uh

ending the uh war on water pressure this is in in the same vein uh as the toilets that don't flush that rand paul was talking about it was like right after he got into congress and he was complaining uh in in some uh some some committee meeting he was complaining in some committee meeting. He was complaining about toilets that don't have the same water pressure because the EPA has decided that toilets have, you know, used too much water and so they want to limit the amount. And I do think that the idea of needing to conserve water is probably overblown, at least regionally, right? So here on the East Coast, I don't think that you need to really conserve water. We get plenty of rain. It's not a problem. In California, of course, that's probably true. You do have to conserve water.

There's a desert and there's nine or 10 million people in the greater los angeles area alone never mind the whole country i'm sorry the whole state but still um you know like the the the idea that it has to be nationwide is ridiculous and this goes to the idea that we should have different laws for different parts of the country the united United States is too big with with too much variety in in both the types of of of temper temperatures and stuff like that or the types of people. The laws in Florida are not going to be the same as the laws in Washington state. They shouldn't. Yep. And so while this may be be silly it plays right into the gun laws that democrats try imposing where banning i don't know uh 762 in new york might make sense some dudes like in his he's in a tower you know in manhattan someone breaks into his apartment so he picks up

his scar 20s and just goes bam bam bam. Just the bullets are shredding through the walls and flying through multiple units, ripping, you know, maybe there. I remember we had Luke on the show and he was like, well, then maybe we ban just 308s. And I'm like, aha, I got you, gun grabber. Or maybe we just put the responsibility on the individuals and you don't use those kinds of weapons in those close quarters. But certainly if you live in the middle of nowhere and you're on a big acreage like a farm, you will need longer range weapons and better protection. The way the law works, basically, the way the judges interpret laws. So here's my favorite. New Jersey.

If an intruder comes to your onto your property, you can't defend yourself. If you are in your home and your intruder and an intruder trying to break into your home, you can't defend yourself. If you are in your home and an intruder is trying to break into your home, you can't defend yourself. If the intruder breaks into your home and you have any means of escape, you cannot defend yourself. You are required to flee. And the argument is, when I asked the police about this, they said, think about what you're saying. If someone broke into your house and you had the ability to flee, you are telling a judge, I would rather kill a man than stand outside. And so they will get you on murder. They will say, okay, murder. In Maryland, if you are on your property outside breaking the leaves and some

guy runs up to you and says, oh, I'm going to get you and kill you, you are required to flee into your home. If you are inside your home and an individual tries to break in, you can use lethal force to stop them from breaking in. In West Virginia, if you are outside on your property, raking your leaves and a person threatens you, you can defend yourself right there in the spot. And the reason for this is density. So New Jersey does have some more rural areas, but they have very big, dense urban areas in the north and the south. So the laws are based upon the dense populations. So the rural folk are cut out.

Maryland has a lot of rural areas. And so they are a little bit laxer, but still they're crazy on guns. Almost as bad as New Jersey. And then West Virginia has got a lot of middle of nowhere. So they're like, yeah, look, if you want 100 acres and you require someone to run to their house, are you going to run 100 acres? No, you got to find yourself where you are. So in Maryland, most people have like an acre. You're standing on your front lawn.

They say, well, go in your house. If you're in West Virginia, like if we were here, we've got 50 some odd acres. If someone came up to me in the middle of nowhere, be like, well, guess I better see if I can outrun you and get to my house before I can defend myself. That's not how it works. So my point with this is, this is how Democrats operate. They live in a city where they have limited water. So they say the whole country must live the way we do.

And it's like, bro, I live in a basin. We got so much water, we don't know what to do with it. Yeah, I think it should be local. I don't know exactly what Trump did. Did he end it? it was a regulation so so this the executive order basically allows for appliances not to be low flow so people wanted okay so people will start producing high flow appliances for the states where they're allowed certain states may now mandate we're going to only allow low flow and so the companies will still build those for those states it was literally a

regulation limiting how much water could flow from a showerhead. What does that have to do with you? You live in the middle of Montana and you're like, I'm on a well. I'm literally the only person. Also, you can run the shower for 10 hours. What does it matter what the flow is? Yep. It's a lie.

It's all fake. I don't know what, why they do these things, control endgame, but Ian, you nailed it. You could turn the shower on and let it run 24-7. You're going to be like, I like taking the low-flow shower. It's not going to be clean enough. Take it twice a long shower. That's right. The low-flow toilet's not flushing.

Better flush it 12 times. Exactly. Makes no sense. That's what really happens because you don't want a dirty toilet in your house. If it doesn't all go down, you're not going to be like, oh, well, guess I missed my chance. Limits the amount of water. Why? Because in Chicago, Obama was like, I'm from Chicago and we got no water.

There were propaganda campaigns. I remember like people and I don't know, I heard people in India or somewhere were like, you're so rich in America that you poop in clean water. It's like water that I would drink, water that we don't have access to in my city. You poop into it. It's that, you're that rich. Dude, you know what I love about Chicago? The people in Chicago literally take dumps in the water they drink. Like, okay, listen, I make fun of chickens, right?

We've talked about how chickens are so dumb. They're too stupid to not take dumps in their water they're drinking and it's a problem they walk around they crap wherever they stand and there'll be a big thing of water and they'll walk over and they'll right into it so what you buy are these buckets with little nozzles that they pack and drips of water come out they drink that way otherwise they will crap in their water we make fun of these chickens in chicago and all the great lake cities they dump their sewage right to the lakes and then drink it up. Oh, snap.

Yeah. The conspiracy theory is that when they dye the river green in Chicago on St. Paddy's Day, it's actually the annual sewage cover up. That's funny. They're like, dump all the dye in there so that no one can see all the sewage. I was in South America in Peru and near the Amazon in Iquitos. And there's this little area called Belen where the government didn't take care of, didn't educate the people. They were indigenous,

essentially. And they were just pooping in the river, in the Ataya River. And then they'd go swim in it and drink it. It wasn't that they were stupid like chickens, although chickens are, that they were ignorant. They just didn't know. They didn't know. They didn't know about dysentery. They didn't know. So when we started educating them, they threw garbage on the mayor's lawn. It was a big ordeal, a lot of panic. It felt very dangerous, actually. So in Chicago, they use a color-coded system. If there's a green flag, it's safe to swim in the lake. If it's yellow, be careful. And if it's red, it's unsafe because of the bacteria and stuff.

There was an environmental group in Chicago that did a survey. They approached several hundred people, like 500 people, on one summer day, asked them all, you know, what they were doing, how are they doing, if they wanted to participate, and then said, we follow up with you in three days. Three days later, they interviewed all the same people again and found something like 90 plus percent got diarrhea. They'd been swimming in the, or swimming in Lake Michigan. Because what happens is all the cities around Lake Michigan dump all their sewage into it and it flows down to Chicago where the Chicagoans are swimming in it. Oh, God.

Disgusting. Wow. Disgusting. Yup. And they all know. They all know. Everybody knows. And that's why they have the flags because they're like, do you want to swim in the feces

or not? And then they just trust the water treatment facilities, the government water treatment facilities. I mean, you can't treat the whole of the lake i mean that's why they have the the uh the flags because they're new york similar there's this oh gosh was it far rockaway he's living far rockaway in queens and uh there's a brooklyn brooklyn man they had a water treatment facility right there and the whole area the gowanus canal look do you know about this? No. So in New York, there's this old industrial canal

that's like basically closed. And so it's just full of toxic industrial waste and like feces and stuff. And there was, I can't remember what happened. It was a while ago when the hurricane hit,

when it was like sandy or whatever, 10 years ago. Everything flooded. And so the Gowanus water flooded into the like streets and people were like, oh no. Oh snap.

I was there for that. Not for the canal flowing though. I got to look it up. Remember on Seinfeld when Kramer was swimming in the East River? Yeah. And they all got really sick or something like that happened?

Is that what happened? I think it was something like that. I remember that. I love that. Yo, man. Cities run by Democrats. So maybe we should have different laws for cities. I mean, I guess that's where we're really on the precip Democrats. So maybe we should have different laws for cities.

I mean, I guess that's where we're really on the precipice of it. Guns, though? We have to. Why? Because like you say, a 7.62 in a tight apartment thing, you just can't trust idiots. But you go to jail. You can have it. You go to jail if it's collateral damage.

But the damage could be so gruesome, you know? We have laws against property damage. We have laws against violence against people. we have laws that cover all this stuff we this is something that we talk about fairly regularly like the idea that just because you have freedom just because you have liberties every liberty that you have comes with a responsibility with their like they they're inseparable like the idea of having liberty comes with responsibility you don't get to just have liberty without responsibility but the problem is some people have the liberty but they don't exercise the responsibility then we that's what

we have laws for like that's what we have like punishments for but pro prohibitive laws like what if you want to what if you're in new york city but you like to go you know and you go down to pennsylvania which is only a couple hours away and you like to go hunt right you shouldn't be allowed to have your rifle in your home people are asking to bring up the video where a sewage pipe exploded in china spraying human waste 33 feet into the air. That sounds awful. Let's grab this story real quick. We've got this one from the Daily Mail.

Let's have fun. Harvard scientist claims Mars was home to a civilization wiped out in a nuclear war. That proves it. Yeah. He's an expert. And as Democrats have taught us over these past 10 years, the experts are correct on everything.

Always. And to disagree with a Harvard scientist would be misinformation. Trust the science. Trust the science. Trust the science. No, no, trust me. I'm going to tell you what happened to Mars. Let me read this.

Okay. An ancient civilization on Mars was wiped out by a nuclear attack from another alien race. It might sound like the plot of a science fiction novel, but Harvard scientist Dr. John Brandenburg believes the event really happened.

According to his... Wait, wait, wait. They called it a bizarre theory? Sorry, Daily Mail. Are you the expert? I'm going to go with Dr. Brandenburg believes the event really happened. According to his, wait, wait, wait. They called it a bizarre theory. Sorry, Daily Mail. Are you the expert? I'm going to go with Dr. Brandenburg. He says ancient Martians known as Sidonians and Utopians were massacred in the attack. And evidence of the genocide can be seen today.

Back in 2011, the scientists first postulated that the red color of Mars could have been due to the naturally occurring thermonuclear explosion, claiming chemical elements in the red planet's surface matched those around nuclear test sites on Earth. But now, he says, mainstream scientists have argued there's no credible physical evidence such as crater or fallout signatures, which points to an artificial or sudden nuclear explosion and have highlighted the paper was published in a relatively low level scientific journal. On the Danny Jones podcast, which has over 1 million subscribers, wow, that proves it, guest Jason Reza Georgiani, a philosophy PhD in science fiction writer, re-shared Brandenburg's study, calling it alarming evidence that life once existed on Mars.

Alarming evidence. The Sidonians. I love that he gets to name the combatants, huh? There were certainly rivers on Mars. you can see ancient ocean and rivers i think what happened was you know that what is it called the mary that's the trench the as the marianas trench or something no that's here it's the uh what's that really long scar on mars there's a long trench no idea somebody knows and it'll be somebody put it in the chat so that i think what happened was a grok uh when the when our solar system was being formed, something caused it. Either it was a binary star collision, and then it spat out all this matter, and it cooled down into all these planetoids, which are smashing into each other.

Or it was what's called a Z-pinch, which is where there's an electrical buildup and then an extreme discharge of matter, which could have formed 26 planetoids. They're all smashing into each other at some point. The Valles Marineris. Yes. The Valles Marineris. Yes, the Valles Marineris. Thank you. So there's this 1,800 kilometer trench rip-tear across the surface of Mars. 4,000 kilometers. 4,000 kilometers. I think a planetoid hit

Mars and tore across it, ripped it open, and magma just spurted out in the Martian atmosphere. All this iron in the magma is now dusted across the surface. It would have looked like a nuclear explosion, potentially, the amount of heat that happened. There might have been nuclear activity. I'm going with the Harvard guy.

Or we could just take this guy's Sidonian theory. So they say that they found traces of xenon-129 naturally occurring on the surface, high concentrations in the Martian atmosphere and uranium and thorium. They want to say that Dr. Brandenburg believes they are remnants of nuclear explosions on the surface. When a thermonuclear bomb is detonated, it leaves a trace of xenon one, two, nine in the area, which is not normal. According to Dr. Brandenburg, it's a very distinct signature. It's unmistakable. And it's specifically associated with thermonuclear weapon detonation.

The not-the-normal means higher-than-expected levels were found. Dr. Brandenburg also argued that Mars once had an Earth-like climate, home to animal and plant life, and any intelligent life would have been about as advanced as the ancient Egyptians on Earth. Well, that proves it. Where are they now? They killed each other, right? Well, look, trust the science. They were probably by the by the martian firestorm that lasted isn't it like minus 44 on mars it's very cold now dude you ever watch the martian the curiosity rover or one of the rovers and you

can hear the sound of mars it's so awesome that's probably just a desert new mexico sky is so red it's like you know it's just dust you know I know this is all fake and Ian's wrong. You can't break through the firmament. Oh, the ice shield in the sky? No, the firmament. Isn't that, what is it, a water? It's the firmament. Above us?

It's the barrier. It's the firmament. That's what it is. Dude, if we can get topographical maps, you kind of have one there where it shows the elevation on Mars. That's Mars. You can see like where the oceans and where the lakes were before they all got evaporated. And you can, if you go close, you can see ancient riverways and stuff and waterways and water channels. And magma, you can see evidence of magma flow and stuff.

I'll go pore over these maps. I love this stuff. Jimmy Corsetti, I think he and I were bonding over how it looks like there's similar to the eye of the Sahara where they think Atlantis' capital may have been. There's another, I think there's another geological structure like that on Mars which they think was like an underground eruption. What's that? What if Atlantis was Mars? See, I don't think there were people on Mars. I just think it was ancient bacterial

life. Cydonians were there. The scientist said so. You think bacteria had nuclear weapons? No, I think it got hit by comets. Like, they have nuclear glass and cometary impact sometimes, but I don't know if that would stand for whatever that was, a radium or something. The guy from Harvard says it was nuclear weapons, though. Yeah, I got to see his evidence on the humans.

You're not buying that? From where? The story goes deep in there. What if the Martians fled Mars after their war and then went underground on Earth and into the mountains of Colorado. And then when we were building an airport, we accidentally struck into their cave. And that's where their TikTok vessels. It could be. It's haunted, right? TikTok vessels.

So stupid to think that it's impossible. It could have. We could have had interplanetary travel 100 million years ago. The planets have been around for billions of years. I don't know about 100 million years ago. 10 million, 5 million. I think humans would have changed been around for billions of years. I don't know about a hundred million years ago. Ten million? Five million? I think humans would have changed dramatically over that period of time. We've got

oh, that's a good point. Humans are like seven inches taller than they were a hundred years ago. So the house here, one of the houses on the property, when you go to the barn house, you notice the ceilings are really low and the doors are really low because everybody was like 5'5". A hundred hundred years ago so they built this thing in 1800s

everybody was short yeah humans would have been way it's estimated to be about four and a half billion years old yeah so like 10 million years ago they might have had things that were just but if they had steel 10 million years ago was like after the dinosaurs but yeah they were like 63 million so it'd be bummer that i mean it's just to think that there was a great reset like a literal complete and total reset of of animal life on multiple times there's been seven major extinctions if i understand correctly i think it's seven but i mean tim you brought up that face on mars well i did it's just part of the story part of the story. Part of the story.

Then what is this? It's what is it's para Dolly or whatever it's called. What is that? Humans just see faces. Yeah. I mean, we were pattern recognizing machines. So anytime you see,

we're looking for patterns all the time. So even if there's no pattern there, we're trying to find patterns and, and things that we we that we can associate with things that we're familiar with so we see faces as you know as often as you could possibly imagine you know because we're looking for them and they'll see you guys believe in like aliens and stuff personally i depends on what you mean by believe in well do you think that they exist or I think it's highly likely they exist. I'm with that. The question of whether or not they're intelligent and have space travel and have come to Earth is something entirely different.

Yeah. What do you think? From my view, I think they're interdimensional. I love the way Tucker Carlson breaks it down. Well, he's broken it down before but yeah i think they're interdimensional beings demons right i think so and i think they're attuned to your biology like your body's a radio frequency and all this crap in your system is like making negative drawing these energy fields what do you call them spirits and stuff when you when you cleanse

let's just hear like getting different god energy like the enlightenment that takes place when you release 20 years of mucoid plaque from like a intestinal cleanse is like the demons are gone now i see god kind of energy it in that sense yes i think there is some interdimensional high frequency interference interaction with our bodies have you done like psychedelics before yes dmt particularly i vaped DMT and saw the spirits, what I would call high frequency. They looked like just condensed light and they were being, they were, they were watching me and there were three of them.

It was, it was pretty pleasant. That's interesting. Like I've heard people talk about, cause I haven't done any of that hard stuff before, but I've heard people who have, you know, um, speak about just the different spiritual experiences that they have.

And I've had spiritual experiences, but it wasn't while on any drugs. You know, it just happened. What was yours? You know, I don't really talk about it like that. You know, it is a part of my testimony, and I plan on talking about it. But it's basically, I touched on it a little bit in one of my songs, No Tomorrow. Where I was basically in my bed and I was lifted off of my bed. And I was terrified and crying.

And I screamed out for Jesus, and it ended. And I've heard other people talk about things like that, like experiences they've had with the aliens, quote-unquote, where they're called the name of Jesus, and the experience will end. I've been thinking about spirits a lot, just dealing with death, the inevitability of death in life, and spirits of people, and how they seem to, like there's this experiment called the phantom dna experiment that they did where they have dna in a vacuum and they're bombarding with photons and the photons are revolving around the dna

they remove the dna and for two weeks the photons stay there as if the dna is still present and i wonder if that's like people's after someone passes away you still feel their spirit. And it's like Jesus is available. His spirit is flowing through you. But it's part of a bigger spirit. I feel like it's like a spirit that dips off packets to everybody for their kid. Like you're going to have a new kid. Here's a piece of me and here's a piece of me. Like the Holy Spirit? Man, so many of them.

If you're talking about God and you're talking about Jesus and you're talking about the Spirit, usually that's the three of them. We had a spiritual moment here at TimCast a few weeks ago. Oh, tell me about it. Can't do it. It's private. Man, I tell you. But I'm not kidding. Something happened here where everybody was losing their ish.

Yeah. Something paranormal happened here that I can't discuss because it's someone's private business. Yeah, I understand. I would understand why you would. But it affected everybody here. Yeah. And everybody was just like, how did this happen? How is this possible?

Yeah, man. It's impossible to prove, of course. You gotta have faith. And I don't like blind faith. But there's evidence, you know? The cosmic microwave background radiation, if you ever get a good look at that through a radio telescope, it looks like a neural net. This is like the universal radiation left over from the Big Bang. It looks like a brain.

Like, this universe is sentient. Not gonna claim that that's true, it just seems like it is. Well, just think about your mind and the fact that you're able to, you know, think, you know know the way we're able to reason and use logic and all these things and like where did that come from how could that come from nothing you know that's kind of how i view it sometimes it's like i think our intelligence

has to come from somewhere you know how can intelligence come from non-intelligence yeah like um plasma for instance intelligence is a component of the universe it exists in the universe it is a part of the universe your intelligence your mind the world everything you experience is connected to the universe as a component of its logo of the logos of the universe you are a piece of that there exists a higher form of whatever that intelligence and consciousness is. Yeah, it's scalar. Like there's layers of, I don't know, whatever you call it, layers of induction.

It might be plasmatic induction. You mean like design when you say intelligence? Are you saying within creation? No, I'm saying when you think thoughts, that which you are is connected. It is in the programming of the universe. You are not separate from existence. Your mind and the function of your mind is structured in the universe, codified in the universe.

You are a component of the logos. There's this phenomenon called ephaptic coupling, and it's when neurons can interact with each other without any kind of chemical reaction. It's like through magnetic fields, neurons can interfere with each other over distance through magnetic field. You know, the Earth has a magnetic field.

The solar system has one. The galaxy has one. So like your neurons may be being impacted by the galactic magnetic field the solar system has one the galaxy has one so like your your neurons may be being impacted by the galactic magnetic field before we go to chats i want everyone to see i made a comic that explains the experience of of x and uh and that's it for those that are just listening it's a guy walking up to a building with x above the door and he says i wonder what this what this is and when he walk walks in it's just tons of people all screaming at the top of their lungs and then he says what the actual hell is this and then the

last panel is him outside the building on his knees grasping his head is x your main go-to social media yeah of course it's but like this is basically it you go on accidents everyone just like the whole time that's what it is yeah i try and put i made a video uh music cover today on x i try to mix it up and put like good energy out just like apolitical like happy upbeat loving you know pure real stuff all right we're gonna go to your chats, my friends. So smash the like questions pertaining to the Austin Metcalf story. Because everybody disagrees with each other on this one. There's a bunch of super chats where people are saying, I can defend myself if I perceive you as a threat. No matter what, you can't ban my weapons. There are people saying you can't defend yourself. You know,

you can't use a knife to defend yourself from being pushed. So let's start with a few of these. First, Ready to Rumble says, back in my day, teens used fists, not knives. Indeed. Hal Gailey says, Texas forbids all weapons at school sporting events. Jake says, Texas is a stand your ground state. Dude put his hands on him. It's unfortunate the kid died, but fafo in a stand your ground state. David Toronto says, if the roles were reversed, the city would be burning down and no fundraiser would be allowed.

Indeed. I Love Broccoli says, you can't stab someone in the heart because they pushed you. Okay, Phil, if someone pushes you, can you use lethal force? Yeah, you can. If someone initiates contact with you, you don't know where their line is to stop. So it is reasonable to say, look, he attacked me. I didn't know what he was going to do. I was in fear for my life.

So I defended myself. I don't know the specifics of like nobody knows the exact specifics of this story with Carmelo and Metcalf. Witnesses, some witnesses said that Austin touched Carmelo. Some say he grabbed him. Whatever. The courts will play it out. If weapons are banned, he's going to go to jail. However, in a general self-defense context, this is why I'm saying the story I find so confusing. We have always maintained when it comes to self-defense, it is not the responsibility of the victim of an attack to determine the extent of that lethal force. If they are being attacked, their perception of how far that force goes is it.

You can't read someone's mind. You can't say, well, he didn't intend this or didn't intend that. Just the fact that someone initiates aggressive contact with you means that you may be in a position where you have to defend yourself. And it's a little, I mean, a knife is a different situation than a gun, but they're both deadly weapons. So Lord Seapig says, Tim, you did the laziest reading of the story. You are wrong and you are biased. In fact, I read like six or seven different stories on this, as well as the activist accounts and what the right was saying. And I couldn't figure out why this had become a meme and why it was so intense.

And I've done a couple of videos on it as well. He says he was an event. He wasn't a participant in smuggled the blade in over six inches long, went to a rival team's tent, and then went for his weapon when confronted. So what's the story? If you go to an event you're not a participant in, do you have no right to defend yourself? Like, okay, Phil, you go to another band's show, and you walk backstage. If someone is going to attack you, can you defend yourself? Yeah. I mean, you're ostensibly, if you're on private property and they don't specifically say. Say it was a park.

Okay. Well, yeah. I mean, look. So band's playing a show. You walk up to their trailer. Yeah. And they say, hey, you can't come in here. Words are exchanged.

The guy grabs you. Can you defend yourself? I mean, in the scenario you're laying out, maybe not because you're going to their area. But if you're in a common area. You're in a park. There's no trespassing signs. Well, yeah. So if you went backstage or something like that, that might be. You're at a park and there's like, there's a trailer.

You walk up to it and say, hey, this is our trailer. You can't be here. Oh, yeah. This kid was at a school. OK, but like my point is, obviously, if you're trespassing and there's a sign saying you cannot enter and you attack somebody, you're going to jail. It's burglary. If you cross a barrier, there's no trespassing and you're willing, willingly committing a crime to attack somebody. The argument here, this is this is it's ridiculous.

Sorry, dude. Your argument is ridiculous. I'm not saying this guy's a good, a good dude or innocent, but being at a school from a rival school, the question of having a weapon is interesting. He smuggled a blade over six inches long. Bro, get that biased language out of there. Smuggled a blade six inches long. Come on.

He had it in his bag. I am not going to sit here and say the individual should be stripped of his ability to carry weapons, be keeping and bearing arms. I am not going to sit here and say the individual should be stripped of his ability to carry weapons. Keeping and bearing arms, in my opinion, I find it offensive that they say knives don't count. I think bearing arms, it used to mean swords. It should pertain to all weapons. You have a right to carry weapons wherever you go. I reject the idea that a school can ban your right to carry. Now, by all means, you are free to argue this kid is a

murderer who intended to kill, which is what murder is. That's fine. My point is, why are so many people on the right throwing out all the self-defense arguments and personal sovereignty arguments on self-defense and weapons over this story? Like, just say the kid should go to jail because he broke the law. Okay. If Democrats pass a law saying you can't have weapons you cannot carry weapons pick one the the look the people in the city said you're not allowed to carry weapons at the school therefore y'all like these people are saying that's it the weapons were banned go to jail okay yeah i mean and and honestly like that that is weapon free zones that is going to be considered a murder you you know? That will definitely be a murder. It might not be first degree.

It might be manslaughter. The first tweet I saw in the story was, imagine if the races were reversed. And that's why I think the story largely went viral. Yeah. People on the right are sick and tired of the BLM narrative, and they've rallied around this one because they want it to be their narrative. But I don't play those games. By all means, say the dude did wrong and he should go to jail. That's fine. My point is, as far as it is, as far as it's concerned, I am never going to argue against a scenario

where I may be in a circumstance. Someone tries to grab me and then I can't defend myself. So if I'm at if I'm at a school or something and I walk up to an area and they say, hey, dude, you can't be here. It's our area. And we don't know exactly what happened. Everybody wants to claim they they did. But i read police accounts and i read numerous stories on this and we don't know what exactly was exchanged between the the group and the kid we don't know if if carmelo said i will i will end you or something like that the argument was that he said quote touch me and see what happens and then the other dude either according to someone has just touched him and others said he grabbed him and then he stabbed him once and then ran away did carmella go in the tent it was it's a gazebo okay and he wandered underneath the he went into the let me show

you let me show you the do we not have the picture pulled up they were like tents it's a gazebo yeah it's a it's a pitch tent you buy up tents yeah so it's a gazebo it's like you you walk past it i don't think the kids in the tent have the right to like legal authority to tell us when they can't come into their well maybe they do um anyway that's all you know i don't know i think it's it's an issue of uh a high school fight got out of hand and a dude had a knife yeah and he shouldn't have had and he's going to get in trouble for that i don't care if if care if it's just that people are saying he's a murderer. And I'm like, that means that he went there with the intent to kill. No, it does not sound like murder from first degree would be going there with the intent to kill. Second degree would be that upon confrontation, he decided he was going to kill somebody. He told the police. He asked the police officer, is he all right? Okay, that's that's the police statement. It sounds like the most they could get him on would be manslaughter. Exactly. And I see all the people on the right being like, no, he's a murderer.

He shouldn't raise money. And I'm like, why are you mad at Give, Send, Go? Like, I'm going to say it right now, guys. The fact that people are calling for a boycott of Give, Send, Go proves that they're wrong on this one. Hey, man, even if the guy was a murderer, he'd still be allowed to raise money for a legal defense. Like, he's not raising money to commit a violent act. So you're allowed... I mean, that's the...

Look, by all means, be mad that he was raising money. By all means, say he's a murderer. Fine. But they're calling for a boycott of Give, Send, and Go for allowing it. That's hypocrisy.

Kyle Rittenhouse had his fundraiser, like, was targeted repeatedly. I think part of the reason why you're getting that is because the right feels like it's their opportunity to get back at the left in a similar way. Yeah, I don't care for that. The left argued that Kyle Rittenhouse didn't legally have a gun because he was underage.

And therefore, he had no legal right to self-defense because the gun was illegal. And that's why I'm like, dude, I swear to God, people are arguing the school said weapons are banned, so that means he's a murderer. And I'm like, okay, no guns either. Come on, I'm not playing that game. Lock the kid up if he committed manslaughter, whatever you want to get him on. But don't come to me and tell me that when the state decides you can't keep in bare arms because they put up a sign, your Second Amendment rights are forfeit. Don't tell me that my rights are subject to your vote. Yeah.

So, whatever, man. But can't say we didn't go for the most controversial one. All right. Shane H. Wilder says, Luck of the Seamus is back. It's a great American-made lucky charm. Unfortunately, your spoons might go missing and get replaced with potatoes.

Why would Seamus give you his potatoes? Yeah, good luck in anything out of Seamus. You guys remember when we said Seamus on the show, but it was just a potato on a stool? Yes. How would you stir your coffee with a potato i mean if you had a big bowl you have to be a big bowl yeah dip and roll in practice not practical fuk derg i'm pronouncing your name i like that on purpose this is my favorite this is my first time watching irl

on a plane wow airplane mode be damned trump took the win i hate how the left-wing personalities who are extremely wealthy are crying because they can't continue to support China's economy. I love what Trump is doing. This is great. Matt Seaman. Is that what it says? I hope so. Matt Seaman.

We'll say it like that way. Tim, been listening to you for the last few days about the market and economy. I'm almost 30, born in 95, and you're right. People my age don't care. We have no 30, born in 95, and you're right. People my age don't care. We have no wealth to care. We need a chance to care. Indeed.

Trump's doing all this stuff, and it's just like the boomers are freaking out. Yes. Gen X has only 20% of corporate equities, so they're going, oh, well, you know, I lost some money. Millennials have no retirement. So all of these liberals being like, oh, no, the market. I'm like, shut up. You guys don't have any wealth you mentioned it earlier too you just mentioned it again that it's like boomer the boomer generation with their retirement funds they're out there protesting but i don't think they know why they're just protesting down with stop the thing that's

happening they don't understand why it's happening and seem to not understand or care that our economy has been inflated to beyond proportionate like 36 trillion dollars in debt that ain't sustainable homies i really are i do love how the official narrative now has become that the stock market has become a meme market well i mean the fact that trump can just say things on truth social and trillions of dollars swing up and down they're like okay the stock market may have meant something 50 years ago when you had to physically go there and say, I've got an order and the guy's holding up the slip or whatever. But now that it's the internet and everything's in real time, it's all fake.

It's all memes. I mean, ever since, at the very least, since 2009 when they started quantitative easing, the value of all the stocks or the vast majority of stocks is, is not real anymore because the, like I've, I've talked about this a couple of times, but you know,

you've got people that have money that have been taking loans out at zero, 1% or, you know, 1% interest or whatever. And taking that loan money, they refund. So you got a house, it's like $10 million,

right? You can, and you paid half the mortgage. You got $5 million worth of equity. You can go and take a $5 million or say $2, $3 million line of credit on your house, right? Take that cash, take $3 million, put it in the stock market, and you're going to get a better return. You're going to be able to pay your, I mean, most of the time when you

refinance a house or take out a line of credit, there's 10 years where you don't even have to pay for anything. You have 10 years before you have to pay it back. So you take it all out, put it in the stock market, just watch it grow. And that's what happened over and over and over and over and over multiple times. That's why stocks are trading at whatever, 26 times earnings. The fact that there was such a drop in the stock market, you need more to actually get rid of the bubble that was created by the printing of money.

And so it actually still needs to drop more because they're trading at like 26 times earnings. It makes no sense. Normally it's 16 times. The dividends are trash. Yeah. You know, it was funny because I was I was I've got some stocks and I'm just thinking to myself, I've got some that pay gangbusters. It's amazing. The dividends payouts are incredible.

And there's some where it's like there's nothing. And I'm like, why would anyone buy this stock? It's super expensive and you get nothing from it. You get you get a couple bucks. You get dividends on profits. It depends on what the structure of the company is, but typically. All right.

L. Smith says, Shout out to Phil, was driving home from getting some pizza on a country back road listening to Anti-Fragile when on my left a bald eagle appeared and took off and flew alongside me after its prey. That is awesome. That is absolutely awesome.

What do we got here? Nuke jukum says trump praising governor whitmer saying she's doing an excellent job an excellent job as a large l yeah and she was at the oval office you see that no yeah whitmer really yeah everyone's going everyone's freaking out like what's going on what does he want from her why is he glazing her yeah i don't know maybe he's gonna because it's typical trump behavior if you want something out of someone then maybe maybe he gives her a uh an administrative position a position in the administration and then michigan has an opportunity to elect a new governor i mean maybe i don't know let's uh what do we got here jago suites has recently lost my father need help if anyone's willing thanks in advance

and he's got the link to give send go but I think you could try GFCGF see if that works I don't know because I can't read the whole link alright Suspicious Scissors says disagree my friend is a pro frisbee player almost no sponsors small prizes and manufacture

was not exported to China yes but I would argue that Frisbee has never been a major pastime, nor is an Olympic sport. Skateboarding had a bunch of millionaires and celebrities and superstars. Bam Margera became a celebrity and he had multiple TV shows. Rob Dyrdek owns MTV today because all it is is ridiculousness. And he had Fantasy Factory and Robin Big. Skateboarding was on top of everything. And then they started selling off the culture and the industry. And then it started to implode.

Ten years ago, man, it was getting bad. But 15 years ago, skateboarders were all millionaires. Not all of them, but the top pros were all making hundreds of thousands of dollars. The top paid pro last year in skateboarding, think was like four hundred and something thousand dollars wow wow and then uh the 10th highest paid pro is like 120k skateboard is going to blow up once we go to mars dude because gravity sure you're going to be able to it's an olympic so high it's an olympic sport and my point is this they've got something called kaso which is a show in Japan, I think. It's a Japanese reality show where skateboarders go through obstacle courses.

Americans are flying to Japan because the industry is in Asia now. Videos of skate parks in China are packed to the brim with kids running around. Not always skateboarding, but a lot of skateboarders. And parks here in the United States are done. I mean, it's woke. It's trash trash the scum has risen to the top american pros don't don't make a living anymore and they've all quit people like dude there are pros that are famously working at like home depot and doing deliveries for uber eats not in china that's sad man not in china yeah i grew up skateboarding and looking up to a lot of the, you know, pro skaters. I used to be in Orange County with my cousin. He actually got me in the skateboarding

because where I was, it wasn't really that big, but you know, I used to go to Orange County and my cousin got me in the skateboarding and you know, it just became life, you know, at that moment I did it for the next, like know 12 years 13 years whatever it was but um yeah that's sad man that's so sad to hear deep deep heath says if carmelo pulled the knife and said touch me and see what happens it could be argued that it was premeditated indeed it could it could also be argued that he gave a warning before being attacked yeah i brought that up before the show if someone says to you something, something, are they giving you permission to touch them? That's not. I don't think so, because of his tone, and he said, touch me and see what happens.

Touch me and see what happens. He grabbed the knife and said, touch me and see what happens. The issue you have there is, you are correct. You could argue he pulled a knife and said he was intending to do something to this person, which indicates he had a state of mind he was going to use lethal force on this person. However, considering he said touch me and see what happens to a jury, he's saying, don't don't attack me. And then the fact that the police officer claimed after Carmelo turned himself into police, Carmelo asked the officer, is he going to be all right? Now, maybe he was just smart enough to ask that question

because he knew it would create a scenario where the officer would testify. He assumed dude was alive. Daniel Penny also had compassion for the guy who was choking. Yeah, Penny. Penny, afterwards, when he went to the police,

he said, Penny didn't know the guy died, Jordan Neely. And he was telling the cops, he was like, look, man, I just didn't want him to hurt anybody. So I don't talk to cops. He got off. I doubt Carmelo Anthony had the state of mind to think to himself, uh-oh, they're going to get me on murder. I better act like I didn't intend to do it. I think he legit ran away and then asked the cop, is he going to be all right? Uh, don't bring knives, I guess.

I don't know. This story is, this story is crazy because it's remarkable to see people saying if you go somewhere like everybody's just demanding they know what happened right like uh here we go proud brown conservative says timmy stabbed him in front of his twin brother at a track meet read the story otherwise you're ignorant by the way congrats on being a pops now welcome to the club i do appreciate that part but the first part you don't know what happens nobody does i read i I read multiple stories in the police statements on this. The story is they they they went to their tents. Carmelo was there. They said you're at the wrong tent. You can't be here. Words escalated to to a verbal altercation.

Carmelo pulled a knife out of his bag and said, touch me and see what happens. Some witnesses say Austin touched him. Some witness say he grabbed him. Carmelo then stabbed him in the chest one time with a knife before running away. He was apprehended slash turned himself into police and said he asked the officer, could this be considered self-defense was the question. And then he asked, is he going to be all right? That's the story. That's that. That's it. And I'm seeing conservatives be like,

he intentionally went there, smuggled a knife and like, they didn't know each other. They didn't know who each other's were. The kid was from a different school. So it, look, whatever,

like you, you're allowed to, you're entitled to your opinion, but it's crazy to me that the right is being like the school banned weapons. Therefore he's going to jail. It's like, okay, that's the, that's the crux of this for entitled to your opinion, but it's crazy to me that the right is being like, the school banned weapons, therefore he's going to jail. It's like, okay, gun fans. That's the crux of this for me, because I feel like it's an example of future cases, potential cases that we may see on grounds like schools, and it's more of a self-defense argument, or a Second Amendment argument in some instances. How about we just teach our children to value others children's lives you know what i mean that's what i try to do you know in in my children's lives that's what me and my wife try

to do is teach our kid to value life our kids to value life what's your main tactic to do that um well for one you know we're christians and you know that's pretty much at the forefront, you know, and at the foundation is valuing life. So, you know, if you have to defend yourself, you know, I think you have to defend yourself. You're being put in no other position. Like if somebody comes to it, comes to my home, right, and they want to harm me or my children or my wife, I have to defend my home. So here's one from Brandon Jean. And then we got time for one more. He says, what is it?

Nothing matters but this. He was at a school event at the wrong team's tent with a knife. He clearly chose murder than to walk away cut and dry here. Nope, wrong. Imagine you are invited to a party at someone else's house and you are legally carrying a firearm. And then a fight breaks out and you are legally carrying a firearm and then a fight breaks out and you are like an altercation breaks out between you and some guy and you know there's drinking involved or whatever i'm not i'm not trying to make a one-for-one scenario i'm trying

to create a potential scenario separate from this one with similarities you go to a party yeah let's say you go to a party and some guy starts saying stuff like yo man get out and you're like i can do what i want i was invited to the party. Verbal altercation escalates. And then the dude, you're standing there. And you pull your sweater back. And you've got a gun. You put your hand up and say, don't come close to me, bro.

I'm warning you right now. Do not come close. Do not take another step. Then the guy grabs your arm and makes a move. So you draw your weapon and you use it. Okay. Make the argument. You have no right to defend yourself when you're being attacked by a guy. Make the argument by all means. Go ahead and do so. I ain't going to do it. Not in the, I don't know the circumstances. You can argue that you're in a place you're not supposed to be. You can argue it's that guy's

house and it doesn't matter. A guy can invite you into his, your neighbor could be like, come on over brother. And then if he gets physical with you, you can defend yourself. And then what the place where you're like, well, you were in his house. And it's like, yeah, you invited me in. It's like, or, or I was, the door was open and they were having a party and I walked inside and he told me I wasn't allowed in his house. I apologized. Then he came at me and attacked me. It's going to be a difficult case, but yeah, you, you, you can't attack someone in It is complicated, okay? So the circumstances can be wild and all over the place, but we're going to do this.
