Starting point is 00:00:00 There we go. All right, everybody. Man, every time we try to start the show, BS is just freezing, but it's okay because we're here and we love you. So we got big news. Donald Trump has been increasingly pushing rhetoric around ending all income tax.
Starting point is 00:00:21 And it's one thing for Trump to go to a rally or to go to an event and say, you know, things were a lot better when we didn't have an income tax. But the New York Times says that Donald Trump is flirting with the ultimate idea, ending all income tax. In fact, NBC has already stated that Donald Trump's policies could exempt 93 million Americans from all income tax. So I'm just sitting here being like, I can only vote for the guy one time. You don't need to sell me on him anymore. So we'll talk about that because it is kind of an extreme position that I'm sure a lot of libertarians are now deciding to vote for Trump over.
Starting point is 00:00:50 But we also have the Kamala Harris town hall on CNN, which has to have been the worst town hall ever done by a candidate in history. And I mean, anywhere at any point, we're going to play clips. But it was so bad. The Washington Post is saying it was it was bad, the Washington Post is saying it was bad. And CNN panelists were saying it was bad. I got to tell you, when you have a CNN panelist being like, well, Kamala was just spewing word salad, what was that? Yeah, it was really bad.
Starting point is 00:01:16 And then, of course, we'll talk about how the odds are starting to line up. And, ladies and gentlemen, well, this may come as no surprise to you, but a survival community is calling in its members to spend the election week in their survival camps because of fear of what may actually happen. Not that the world's going to end. We don't know for sure. But the Independent has stated the civil war has already begun. Yeah, yeah, yeah. OK, we've heard it. The corporate press keeps saying the civil war has already started. Hey, don't look at me. I've only ever said I think we're on track for one. Now the media is actually saying we're in one. When you look at the election is being held, one believing and you can vote whenever you want, even after the election day and one believing in a constitution certainly seems
Starting point is 00:01:57 like we have two completely different countries. Also, don't forget cast brew coffee, because if you need coffee, cast brew is the best. Everyone agrees. At least that's what I've been told. Appalachian nights is my favorite. Every morning I take a double shot of Appalachian nights. I grind it, make espresso with it. This is me. And then I put it in my protein shake. That's how I do it. But maybe you like Ian's graphene dream, which has a Ian who is enlightened with his energy bursting from his chest as he gives you his dream. But there's a

And leave us a good review if you're listening on Apple Podcasts or wherever it is you get your podcasts. Joining us tonight to talk about this and so much more is a man of great emotional intelligence, Danny Polish.
Starting point is 00:03:32 Hey, what's up? How's it going? Who are you? I'm very good. Very good. Exciting. Who are you? Oh, who am I?
Starting point is 00:03:37 I'm a comedian. I'm a comedian, co-host of The Boys Cast, host of a podcast called Low Value Mail, a call-in show, and just an all-around comedy guy. Of high emotional intelligence. Of high emotional intelligence, of course.
Starting point is 00:03:49 Yes. Very emotionally intelligent. Your first answer when he asked you who you are and you said, I am very good. I thought he said, how are you? I'm not the other kind of intelligence. The smart kind. The right one. The right one.
Starting point is 00:04:01 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not the guy kind. Oh, yeah. You're one of the more emotionally intelligent people. No, the wife disagrees. Ian's here. As it should be. Good to see you guys.
Starting point is 00:04:11 Ian Crossland here. I'm a loyalist to the democratic process. Happy to be in the house. I thought I was going to say party for a second. I was getting worried. No, I'm loyal. No sycophants in this house. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:21 Danny's got his Kamala Harris Madam President shirt on. My Master P. Master P. What's up, Phil? Hello, everybody. My name got his Kamala Harris Madam President shirt on. My Master P. Master P. What's up, Phil? 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 a counter-revolutionary.
Starting point is 00:04:34 So let's get into it. Here we go. I can't believe. Look, so Kamala Harris did this town hall, and it was extremely bad. But the New York Times has run this headline, so we have to lead with it. Trump flirts with the ultimate tax cut. No income taxes at all. The former president has repeatedly praised a period in American history when there was no income tax and the country relied on tariffs to fund the government.
Starting point is 00:04:56 I just I love this because we're 12 days out from the election day. Votes are coming in right now. Republicans, I think, in North Carolina have already taken the lead in absentee ballot returns, which indicates they're winning and likely going to win the state. And The New York Times is like, what can we do to make sure that everyone everywhere votes for Donald Trump? And they said, let's say that Donald Trump wants to eliminate the income tax. And that's what they wrote. You've got this also from CNBC.com. Trump tax plan could exempt 93 million Americans from income taxes. Okay. Well, I can only vote for the guy one time. You don't need to sell me on voting form again. But is there anyone in this room who would be opposed to eliminating the income tax? No. Not looking good for Chase Oliver, though. That just
Starting point is 00:05:39 sunk his campaign. Will you get out libertarian by Donald Trump? Yeah, Chase Oliver's banging the table right now. Be like, what? That's the only thing I have. My thing. My thing. I would not say no to this. I just am wondering how it's going to work. I don't think it will. Oh, I knew Ian was going to be like, I like the income tax. Yeah. Oh, he said yes. I like, you know, but like Phil
Starting point is 00:06:00 said, it would make the government recalibrate and stop spending so much because they'd have to take it. They don't have the Federal Reserve and the income tax to manage inflation because that's all the income tax is for. The idea that people have in their head that printer and the Federal Reserve prints money for us, the income tax is just a means of taking money out of the system to help control inflation. There's two ways they control inflation, taxation and by changing the interest rate. So if they print too much money, they just raise taxes to take the money out of the system. If you take away their ability to print money endlessly then you have to end the foreign wars the foreign expansionism the basically the all
Starting point is 00:06:53 of the the times that the government decides we're going to put this policy into place which essentially is a way to buy people's any kind of service that they offer so free health care uh we're going to give college students money we're're going to do all this, all of this is buying votes. It's what it's the government saying, we're going to give you this. And the hope is these this group, this special interest group, they will go ahead and they'll vote for us. And that's what the government does. They print money, give it to people hoping that they'll vote for for whichever person implemented the thing. So it takes that power away, and it'll make the government, hopefully, in theory,
Starting point is 00:07:27 it'll make the government more accountable to a more restrained economic policy. It also incentivizes international trade, which I think is very interesting. But this is getting offset with the tariffs, from what I understand. He's like, we're going to be charging all these tariffs. But like I looked it up before,
Starting point is 00:07:45 there's probably like, you know, there's tens of millions of Americans who don't pay any income tax because they fall under the threshold. And the tariffs are going to increase the cost of everything they buy. So unless Trump... It's not going to increase the cost of everything.
Starting point is 00:07:57 Well, anything that has a tariff on it. Unless Trump can negotiate with the... What's that? Imported products. Imported products. There are currently... So your milk, bread, and eggs are fine. Well, there'll be a temporary period where you have to start firing up factories in this country to make the things that...
Starting point is 00:08:11 So that will improve the economy. In the long run, but there will be a tremendous amount of pain short term. There would be... It would be my guess. There would be stuff that has to be sorted out. But if you have things that are produced in the United States, prices would ostensibly go down. You would have companies incentivized to produce things here in the U.S. as opposed to sending them overseas. And currently, there's tariffs and stuff on any number of products. It's not like there's no tariffs or anything.
Starting point is 00:08:42 There's tons of stuff, and you can negotiate. So it's not like, oh, we're going to get rid of income tax, and there's no tariffs, and we're going to put tariffs on everything, and then everything is going to change. There's already tariffs. It's not like it's some brand-new thing that we don't have. No, Trump invented it. But, I mean, there's already tariffs. So as much as there are going to be people that are going to be affected by it,
Starting point is 00:09:06 and it's going to cause distortions in the market, and there's going to be things that have to kind of settle down, if it is implemented, it's not like it'll be something that we don't have experience with, because there are tariffs here. And right now, what did you say? There's how many people that don't pay i think i think i read that 60 million people paid less than 1.5 percent income tax which is essentially those people don't pay any kind of net income tax either because they get that money yeah that's what i'm saying benefits yeah there's probably it's i think it's it's less than less
Starting point is 00:09:40 than 50 percent of the percent of u.s households do not pay income tax in these United States. There you go. So that's a lot of people where you're – like, I mean, a lot of items will go up in price. Like, especially any – Which ones? Anything that has – like, if he says I'm going to slap a tariff on aluminum or steel, right? Anything that's made with aluminum or steel, the price – But that's saying we don't source aluminum or steel in our own country.
Starting point is 00:10:04 Yeah, and part of – The purpose of the tariff is so that we bring those jobs back. I understand that. I'm saying you can't do that like snap a finger. You could say in 10 years from now, we'll have that all set up, but I don't think you can do that. I understand your point. But they can also just print a bunch of money. But he's not running it. So you know what he should do? Just his first
Starting point is 00:10:20 year, he should just do it, and then we'll have a little dip, and then it'll spike back up. Or do it over a five-year period where every year there's a reduction and then it scales he's not trying to be president again so right that's yeah so he's gonna come in and be like no so hate me i don't know yeah i don't know that he could handle being hated that's why for real he puts his name in gold letters on top of buildings i mean i was saying this to you before like obviously i'm not from america i followed american politics but i don't ever remember leading up to an election like this close where all these people
Starting point is 00:10:47 are just tabling all these crazy ideas that they had not said before. Remember when, so Trump is like, no tax on tips. And then Kamala goes, no tax on tips. And then Trump was like, no tax on social security. And she's like, I'll forgive all of your debt. And J.D. Vance is like $5,000 tax credit per child. And she goes, $6,000 tax credit per child.
Starting point is 00:11:08 It's like an auction. And then Trump is like, no more taxes. That's crazy, though. It's like an auction. What I recall, it used to be like, this is my platform. This is what I'm running on. And we're going to take this to the end. Conceptually.
Starting point is 00:11:21 I'm stoked. I hope Kamala goes nuts. She has to. We're going to get rid of all taxes and give you from the government coffers and then Trump is just like,
Starting point is 00:11:28 we're going to completely dismantle government, everyone's fired and then I vacate the presidency and there's no politicians left. I mean, she's literally like,
Starting point is 00:11:35 no taxes and he's Hitler. And then next week he's Mussolini too. But what's funny is the direction they're going is basically they are competing
Starting point is 00:11:43 with dismantling government. Yeah. Yes. This is a they are competing with dismantling government. Yes. This is a win-win for the American population. Libertarians are doing the Randy Marsh meme at the computer. I think Angela McArdle is secretly orchestrating everything that's going on. I mean, he's going to put a libertarian in the cabinet somewhere, which would be wonderful. The idea that he wants to get rid of the bureaucracy, that he's going to cut back in the bureaucracy is great. If you could actually get significant real cuts in cabinet level bureaucracies, that would be tremendous. You know, I mean, I'm a big cut. I'm a big,
Starting point is 00:12:17 I want small government. I want as small as we can get it. So if they're going to cut cabinet level bureaucracies down to size and roll back the administrative state, and that's one of the things that Elon Musk is talking about because part of the problem that SpaceX is running into, it's like they had to do, did you see the seal thing they had to do? Oh yeah, with the like kidnapped
Starting point is 00:12:37 seals and the last loud noises on them? They had to kidnap seals and put earphones on them and simulate sonic booms to see if it would affect them. So that way they could get the approval from the FAA to shoot rockets. The best part is it did not affect the seal. And apparently the seal just sat there confused and its heart rate did not elevate or anything. It was just like nothing happened.
Starting point is 00:13:02 But one of the things that Musk has been saying is like, look, we're never going to be a society or a civilization that can reach Mars if we have to have all of these regulations. One of the things that Musk has caught hell for is that people used to make fun of him because all his rockets would explode. But
Starting point is 00:13:20 he was going on five different iterations of the rockets and he would learn from each one that blew up. So the first few of them would blow up, but then the third one would go, and then it would have a small problem. But it wouldn't be a rud, right? Wrap it on a rud. Now he's catching them with the chopsticks. Yeah, and the point is, like, Boeing has done almost nothing to talk about.
Starting point is 00:13:40 They're so slow, and that's because they're not doing, they're not taking big risks. And they're not pushing and that's because they're not doing they're not taking big risks and they're not pushing the way that musk is one of the things that musk wants is he's like look i need to i need the federal government to take the shackles off so i can experiment and i can push my my technology push the technology as far and as fast as it can and i personally think that part of the reason why you had massive innovation in the united states leading up until about the 70s. We had significant innovation from basically the beginning of the Industrial Revolution until about the 70s or 80s. It's because the administrative state and the bureaucracy and the regulations were significantly less than they are now. And people were allowed to try things and make mistakes.
Starting point is 00:14:22 I'm just thinking how funny it is that there's like some alien and he's complaining to his customers. Like, look, the government is making me abduct these guys and stick probes up their ass. We don't want to do it, but they make us do it to simulate anti-gravity. And then we're doing it to the SEALs. Exactly the same stuff. I'm thinking about them.
Starting point is 00:14:35 Like you're a SEAL minding your own business with your homies and then like a crane grabs you out of the water and you're like, what's happening? Headphones. And when you come back, like nobody believes you. Yeah, you're like,
Starting point is 00:14:43 they made me listen to just loud noises. I don really know because of beards the income tax thing though too is you know the national or the the debt like constantly increasing and the cost to service it like you the taxes can't go any higher right well yeah they can you think they can go much above 50 percent there are people well first of all they're basically above it they're literally i'm saying do you think they there's really that much margin? There was a time in the 50s, between the 50s and like the 80s, when the top marginal tax rate was like 90%. Nobody paid it.
Starting point is 00:15:15 Like there was tons of ways for you to get out or get around it. And that's what ends up happening. But the Laffer curve says that there's a certain amount of taxation that you can do. And everything before that, you get diminished returns. And don't forget, you're Canadian. What's your income tax in Canada? I mean, in Ontario, it was about the same as what I pay in New York City, which is like close to half. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:40 So don't forget, you've also got sales tax. Yeah. So now add another percentage to everything you buy. It says a dollar. It's a dollar ten now. Then you've got property taxes. Then you've got gas taxes. So, the interest. Just the interest, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, dude, we're facing collapse because the U.S. government is barely able to cover the interest on the debt they owe. So the U.S. government basically makes, most of the debt is owed to the American people.
Starting point is 00:16:17 The U.S. government says, we need to implement a project, so we're going to accrue a bunch of debt from various companies, individuals, contracts, bonds, et cetera, and then they have to tax everybody to try and pay it back after. They're basically just saying, I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today. And eventually it's like, bro, your debt sheet is like 50 hamburgers. And it's like, just need more people to come in that I can
Starting point is 00:16:38 tax a hamburger from to pay you back. I mean, it's crazy. So they open the border, let everybody come in so they can desperately increase the tax base. Yeah, and lower wages, I guess. I don't know. It seems to go up, what? It's like a trillion dollars a month or something right now?
Starting point is 00:16:50 Right now, the debt is a trillion dollars, is increasing a trillion dollars a year. A trillion dollars a year. Yeah. But it's going up. It's increasing faster.
Starting point is 00:16:59 Insane. Well, it'll be fun to see how this escalation continues. Hopefully, Kamala Harris comes out and vows to abolish all taxes and to give us money back. Yes, right. Your girl. But let's jump to the story from The Washington Post. It was frustrating to watch three columnists on Harris's CNN town hall. Harris's town hall gave her a last minute chance to reach undecided voters.
Starting point is 00:17:24 How did she do? Well, it's the better. Which is laws of headlines states that if a headline ends the question, the answer is usually no. But if the question is, how did she do? The assumption would be the negative poorly because they wouldn't need to ask if they have reason to believe she did well. We'll jump back to this, but I need to only show you this one segment that was posted by Dave Portnoy so you can understand exactly how Kamala Harris did. I'm sorry that you have to listen to this, but knowing is half the battle. Is there something you can point to in your life, political life or in your life in the last four years, that you think is a mistake that you have learned from? I mean, I've made many mistakes. And they range from, you know, if you've ever parented a child, you know, you make lots of
Starting point is 00:18:08 mistakes too. In my role as vice president, I mean, I've probably worked very hard at making sure that I am well versed on issues. And I think that is very important it's a mistake not to be well versed on an issue and feel compelled to answer a question so i want to just actually i want to okay so you're probably thinking the first thing you thought was probably what well it's one of those trap interview questions you know yeah when you go like what are your weaknesses you're like if anything i work too hard yeah well actually the trump campaign posted the michael scott thing where he's like, my weaknesses are actually strengths. I work too hard.
Starting point is 00:18:48 But notice what she did. I actually want to give her credit for this. Listen to this last portion. And I think that is very important. It's a mistake not to be well versed on an issue and feel compelled to answer a question. You see what she did there? He asks her a question she can't answer. She stumbles through it for 30 seconds and then
Starting point is 00:19:07 realizes as she can't answer it, it's a mistake. She did not prepare for this question and then literally says at the end, it is a mistake to not prepare for a question and be forced to be compelled to answer. And how can you not name one mistake you made? Afghanistan? Hello?
Starting point is 00:19:27 Name one mistake you've made right now, Danny. i don't make mistakes about the shirt about no this is the best 20 i've ever spent get out of washington dc train station get upstairs free card um okay body language experts love criticizing this woman like when she starts to answer the question she's like uh yeah i made uh yeah and she's shaking her head no no no but she's saying yes that's how she starts it she's like, yeah, I made a yeah. And she's shaking her head. No, no, no. But she's saying, yes, that's how she starts it. She's just like a two faced kind of. That was that was a really great example of her literally saying nothing but words were coming out of her mouth. Now, listen, listen to this one. Here we go.
Starting point is 00:19:56 Regarding the rapid increase in the migrant population, how will you ensure that every immigrant is integrated into American society safely? What benefits and subsidies will you provide them with? And how long will these benefits and subsidies last for an individual? Most importantly, will the American citizens taxes pay for these benefits and subsidies? And if so, how much money will be allocated? Okay, I'm going to pause real quick just to say his question was five parts. Yeah, it's pretty hefty. But how many are being let in? Are they going to receive benefits? What are those benefits? Who's going to pay for them? Are they going to be assimilated? Now listen to this answer. Well, thank you, Jackson. Let's
Starting point is 00:20:35 start with this. America's immigration system is broken and it needs to be fixed and it's been broken for a long time. And part of what we need to do is always prioritize what we need to do to strengthen our border. I will tell you I'm the only person in this race among the two choices that voters have. I've personally prosecuted transnational criminal organizations in the trafficking of guns, drugs, and human beings. I have spent a significant part of my career
Starting point is 00:21:04 making sure that our border is secure and that we do not allow criminals in and we don't allow that kind of trafficking to happen and come into our country. And as my opponent has proven himself, he would prefer to run on the problem instead of fix the problem. I love this. I do want to highlight one quick thing in the beginning real quick. Just one more time. America's immigration system is broken and it needs to be fixed and has been broken for a long time. And part of what we need to do is always prioritize what we need to do to strengthen our border. What we need to do is to always prioritize what we need to do. Did you hear that? What we need to do is to always prioritize what we need to do to
Starting point is 00:21:49 strengthen our border, which would be, lady. Okay, okay, Dan, I'm going to break this down for the layman. Ask me a tough question. What are you going to do with the spiraling national debt? I like your ramate. It's a delicious drink. That right there looks like you have orange exuberance. It's delicious, isn't it? It's almost like an ecto-cooler, but with more caffeine. Thank you. Okay. Yeah. I feel bad. Look at this kid's face. Pull this kid's face up again. That face is exactly how I feel when I hear her words coming out of her mouth while she's not saying anything. Yeah. She answers questions like when you get in trouble by your like your girl and
Starting point is 00:22:31 you're trying to be like just the most evasive. Just she gives she gives the weave. Trump says he does the weave. She's doing the real weave. This face is so good. You know what he's thinking too. It's like she's literally not answering any question. i was like why am i here why did i come here so this is the state of the uh of the democrats and uh look at this washington post the kenneth's closing argument is a cliche blah blah blah met by says we've seen plenty of strange firsts in this campaign but i was still struck at hearing a nominee for president caller opponent a fascist an actual fascist and in the first three minutes of a town hall i think i would summarize kamala Harris's closing argument from the night as you really need to vote for anybody but Donald Trump and I'm anybody, right? Do we
Starting point is 00:23:13 think that argument landed? This next guy, he says, yeah, she tried to paint Trump as an extreme and dangerous all night. Besides calling Trump a fascist, Harris repeated the line that Trump allegedly called fallen soldiers, suckers and losers. The Atlantic reported that back in September 2020, blah, blah, blah. She goes on. We want to say, Matt, this is almost as if Trump was an incumbent. We're an incumbent, isn't it? She's trying very hard to make the whole campaign a referendum on him and his fitness, which might be her best argument. But as you point out, Jim, it's not as if voters haven't factored in that point. I was on Adam Carolla's show and maybe he wants to wait for his show to come out, but he did say something great. He said
Starting point is 00:23:48 Kamala Harris' campaign is basically, who are you going to vote for, the fascist or potato? Because I'm the potato. It's like the South Park, though. Turd sandwich. But Trump, she's just saying he's bad. It's like Trump is
Starting point is 00:24:03 anchovy pizza. Some people don't like it, but it's still pizza and it's still food and you can eat it. He's not perfect, man, but if they really wanted to beat Trump, the Democratic Party, they should have had a Democratic convention and let the people select the best candidate.
Starting point is 00:24:15 We're past that, I think. Now she's, I mean, they have 12 days. She's just like, he's Hitler. I don't know. It's like, I don't care. Don't vote for me, but then you're voting for Hitler. You have your options.
Starting point is 00:24:26 Literally what they're doing. It would have been funny. I call that the Kang and Kodos. Yeah, exactly. Remember Treehouse of Horror when they're like, what are you going to do? It's a two-party system. You have to vote for one of us. That's basically what she's going on.
Starting point is 00:24:39 And then it's funny because Trump is just like, I'll deregulate the energy sector so that prices for transportation come down and your food prices come down with it. And you're like, OK, that sounds reasonable. What say you, Kamala? And she's like, well, I'm a potato, but at least I'm not a fascist. Yeah. And you're like, huh. Well, that may work on some people, but most people I'd say no. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:24:59 I mean, she has no really good policy stuff. I mean, she comes out with some new things here or there, but he seems to be winning on that front. The only thing she really has that could potentially win her this entire thing is just the abortion thing. She's 100% guarantee or betting on abortion. And the thing is... It works, though.
Starting point is 00:25:17 Well, it does, but most of the women that are actually really up in arms about it can't have kids anymore. That doesn't matter. Yes, that is quite funny and ironic. Yes, but that doesn't matter. The vast majority of them are like women that have gone through menopause like a decade ago. They might have kids.
Starting point is 00:25:36 Man, my granddaughter really needs to be able to kill my great-granddaughter. One of the things in her weird answer was, you know, if you've raised kids, you know how you make mistakes. She's like, she's never raised kids. Why did she bring that up? She has adult stepchildren. She's like trying to appeal to the people with kids. You know what's crazy is that she's not even good at vamping. No.
Starting point is 00:25:56 You know, like if someone was like, hey, buy me time, I'd just start telling a story. You know, are there any mistakes in your life that you think you've learned from? Like, oh, let me tell you a story back when I was a kid, right? So I used to work, and then I'd just pick any story of my life and try and just stretch. But she's going, well, you know, I, from a range
Starting point is 00:26:16 of, if you're a parent and as vice president, and you know, it's, I like to research and it's a mistake not to. I mean, I would almost, that was almost a sentence. She started to almost say some mistakes, and then her ego took over, and she wouldn't allow for the humility. And she's like, about 20 seconds before she wrapped, you could see just her ego was like, don't admit any weakness. Don't admit weakness.
Starting point is 00:26:41 They won't vote for you. She does go on to say well one weakness and uh some would say it's a strength is that i'm surrounded by very smart people and i have very smart people on me and that's where let me pull up the trump war room post where they compare with michael scott because you know i i don't do it justice i wonder if um who owns who owns the office anyway are they gonna come after us? Someone powerful. Someone powerful indeed. Yeah, I was on Metro.
Starting point is 00:27:07 I think Gervais is cool, though, but I don't know. All right, here we go. Here's the clip. Perhaps a weakness, some would say, but I actually think it's a strength. Well, my weaknesses are actually strengths. Oh. Yes.
Starting point is 00:27:21 Very good. There you go. Very good. I really do value having a team of very smart people around me. I work too hard. I care too much. And sometimes I can be too invested in my job. Perhaps a weakness, some would say, but I actually... Yeah, that face. That face, too. What is she doing?
Starting point is 00:27:43 I don't know, but this deserves to be screenshot and retweeted. That face is also a face I would say exemplifies the CNN town hall. The pain she was feeling thinking about what she was saying. You know they're making her do it. When you give answers like that, you're like, I do not want to be here. She got put there. They're like, you're the only face we got right now. It's like Joe Biden last time around, he just got to sit in his basement. basement why can't i sit in my basement why do i have to go do all this stuff
Starting point is 00:28:08 and like you china why don't you go ahead and help me out too it's not like she could have said no i mean if she she's probably like if i say no to this it would be the biggest mistake i ever made in my life i mean you're not saying no yeah in those positions they're like we need you to run for president you know like well all the money's me. The whole thing's already done for me. OK. I mean, it just goes to show how bad of a candidate she is where she's running. She's not smoking Trump. Let's let's jump to this clip from CNN.
Starting point is 00:28:39 I wonder, all of you gentlemen, how do you think CNN thought she did? I think everybody knows they weren't too pleased. It's kind of shocking to me right now to say this, but Washington Post criticizing Kamala Harris and CNN criticizing Kamala Harris suggests that she is doing so miserably that they can't even pretend like they have desperately tried to for so like with Biden. They pretended until the debate when they couldn't. And they were like, but let's play the clip. When she doesn't want to answer a question, her habit is to kind of go to word salad city. And she did that on a couple of answers. One was on Israel. Anderson asked a direct question, would you be stronger on Israel than Trump?
Starting point is 00:29:15 And there was a seven-minute answer, but none of it related to the question he was asking. Seven minutes? She doesn't have to be flawless, but she has to give you something. I mean, she's like a true double threat. You know, she's terrible on her feet when she gets unexpected questions and simultaneously she can't even answer the expected questions. It's nothing, nothing, nothing. You think she'd be prepared to do this by now. You know, what's a mistake you've made? Nothing. What's a weakness you have? Nothing. What's the first law you want to pass? Nothing. What's a policy difference between you and Joe Biden? Nothing. Look at even Axelrod was starting to laugh.
Starting point is 00:29:52 Build platitude. It's a total. Build platitude. Focused a lot more on Donald Trump, I think it's fair to say, than she did on many specifics in terms of what she would do as president. But she did go into some of her plans for small businesses. Well, I'll just tell you what I'm hearing from people who I've been talking to. And that is that if her goal was to close the deal, they're not sure she did that.
Starting point is 00:30:22 And, you know, some people have asked, is she being held to a different standard? Maybe. But that's maybe the world that she's living in. And on the question of who she is, people are understanding that a little bit more. But what she will do, the question about her legislative priorities, name one, there wasn't one.
Starting point is 00:30:42 I think that the word salad stuff gets on my nerves. I think that some of the evas on my nerves. I think that some of the evasions are not necessary. But when she's talking about trying to get you a house, I believe her. Kamala Harris participated in a one person debate last night and she lost. She asked correct questions and she provided very circular answers. My colleagues, Van Jones and David Axelrod and others noted that, you know, she provided word salad answers. You know, Anderson would ask her specifically direct questions and she didn't provide an answer to them. Anderson asked the best question all night. Why didn't you do this four years ago?
Starting point is 00:31:20 Why haven't you been doing this? Ten minute answer didn't answer the question. So what she did last night, I don't think helped her cause at all. I think people were looking for, you know, how are you going to, you heard the one woman, how are you going to make my life better? That wasn't provided. Donald Trump bad is not going to get you to the white house. I hate to break it to her. I absolutely love when he said Kamala Harris participated in a one person debate and she lost. Wow.
Starting point is 00:31:45 Yeah, that was a good one. And you know what I would love so much more? He says that woman asks, how would you make my life better? And she doesn't give an answer. I would respect Kamala so much more if she just went, I'm not. What do you think goes on in this country? There won't be any mean tweets. Look, lady, I'm a potato.
Starting point is 00:32:02 I'm going to sit around and do nothing. Trump's Hitler. I mean, that's honestly the a potato. I'm going to sit around and do nothing. Trump's Hitler. I mean, that's honestly the only real benefit I could find of her being president is just the amount that you have to pay attention to politics goes down a bit. No, it'll go away. You think so? With Kamala, it'll go up 10, 10 fold. It's more like when Trump was president, it's just like, that's the media doing that to
Starting point is 00:32:20 you. I understand that, but they're going to continue doing that. So the question is- And all of Twitter and everything. If it were true that voting for Kamala would make the meat would make the politics go away. How come it's only gotten 10 times worse under Joe Biden? And the reality is Biden Harris policies have caused serious political tumult to the point where it's not about Donald Trump anymore. It's about why food prices are through the roof, why immigrants are sleeping in schools,
Starting point is 00:32:42 why people can't afford homes anymore, why Gen Z is living in cardboard boxes while illegal immigrants are getting hotel rooms. And so now you're glued to the TV with everyone shrieking in your ears because you can't afford to eat. But illegal immigrants got a got a PlayStation five in his hotel room in New York City. Danny, and also not even kidding. One other thing you need to one of the one other thing you need to think about is when people talk about J.D. Vance, they're already saying that he's worse than Trump. This isn't going to change. Yeah. As long as it's a Republican, this is the modus operandi.
Starting point is 00:33:14 This is the norm now. If you're talking about Republicans, all of them are Hitler and the Democrats are going to behave as if whatever Republican is in office or whatever Republican is being brought out, they're going to behave as if they're the worst. I mean, that's all they are right now. So the idea that Trump, this isn't unique to Trump. Trump is a symptom of what's going on. Trump is not a cause. There's so many people out there that think,
Starting point is 00:33:38 oh, without Trump, then things will be fine. Or when Trump's gone, things will be fine. Uh-uh. I mean, secretly CNN's got to want him to win as much as they can't say it for their business. They're looking at their ratings
Starting point is 00:33:50 being like, you guys remember the glory days? You know, back there like, hey man, look, six,
Starting point is 00:33:55 seven years ago we were getting a million, three million. Able TV was back, baby. We need Donald Trump. Like, they are all going to get a boat
Starting point is 00:34:02 as long as they can get Donald Trump and a new airborne virus and they are just printing money. That sounds like a as they can get Donald Trump and a new airborne virus. And they are just printing money. That sounds like a good bit you guys could do where it's like Trump wins and then it's like CNN, like it's in a CNN office. The guy runs in, he goes, Trump has won. And then it's just one year later and they're all on boats.
Starting point is 00:34:18 Get me Wuhan on the phone. Let's crank this up. Ratings through the roof. So, hey, man, I kind feel like uh i'm hearing this rumor i don't know if it's true that kamala denied joe rogan's request like she's refusing to go on the podcast i haven't seen any official sourcing on i just i just saw someone tweeting it and i'm like i don't know if that's true yeah there's she can't do three hours oh dude come joe would kick her out i'm sorry you look at that town hall i tell you, Joe Rogan would be sitting there and he'd be like, so what do you think, you know, caused like the problems we're seeing right now?
Starting point is 00:34:50 Because I know I got friends who are going to the grocery store and they're talking about whipped cream being $6. And then when she just patters again, well, I'm glad, Joe, you brought up groceries because people need groceries. And I'll tell you what we got to do. What we got to do is what we've always had to do. And that is focus on things that we need, like on groceries which I think is and Joe's gonna be like get out yeah yeah I mean I don't I'm curious if Trump because Trump's pretty much only done I
Starting point is 00:35:12 believe an hour except for I think one podcast he went 90 minutes on but I wonder if he's gonna go do some real long like two and a half hour traditional episode. I imagine the first, I wonder if the first thing Joe asks is going to be like, are there UFOs? Are there, that'll come up a hundred percent. Oh, because I think Theo Vaughn asked him that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:34 Yeah. So I think that'll, that'll come up, but I just, she can't really talk. She can't just chop it up for two hours. It is kind of weird that, you know,
Starting point is 00:35:44 I'm just gonna say even Ian can go on a rant about graphene if he needs to buy time. You know what I mean? Like, if something comes up, Ian will talk about the crown or graphene. Like, is there nothing Kamala Harris cares about that she could use to vamp? I'm honest, so I don't need to hide and think about what I'm going to say next, which helps me flow. I can go into stream, stay for an hour straight. I can keep talking. I'm built to do this.
Starting point is 00:36:03 That's it right there. Yeah. As long as you're honest, it doesn't matter what you say. Because if someone said, what are some of your mistakes? If Ian didn't have an answer, he'd say, oh, I don't know. I probably have to think about it. I've never really thought about it. Can't show that for her. She can't show that weakness. She'd immediately say, I don't like Joe Biden. Like if she was being honest, she'd be like, I didn't like working with the guy. I can't stand him. He wasn't fit to be president.
Starting point is 00:36:23 It would be so based, and I'd actually respect her a lot more if she was like, you know, Anderson's like, what are some of your weaknesses? And she goes, well, I'm not really good at this, am I? I have no idea how to answer these questions. It's not something I've ever been prepared for. She'd have so many more voters if she acted like that. She could just be normal.
Starting point is 00:36:40 Right. That's the thing is, Trump is at least whether you like him or hate him, he's just that is who he is. Yeah. She cannot be who she is. Like, she cannot find that in her. It would have been, and he's had personal life, too, so she couldn't be like, oh, I used to put too much salt when I was making my casserole. And I know it's, you know, but when I would serve it to people, they'd be nice and it
Starting point is 00:36:58 would be disgusting. And I learned a lesson that sometimes people aren't telling you the truth because they don't want to hurt your feelings, but that could lead to bad policy. Come on. You've never, you've never made a, but that could lead to bad policy. Come on. You've never made a bad meal that someone lied to you and said was good? Sure. She could have said anything. She could have said,
Starting point is 00:37:10 I used to wear my shoes in the house, and then I realized I was just trailing mud, but that was doo-doo. And then you know if you have kids come in, and so these are the mistakes. She couldn't come up with literally, he said personal life. You can make something up.
Starting point is 00:37:23 I don't do my dishes. Don't you remember drinking the beer on Colbert? She should have said that. You're like, you don't drink beer. Yeah. You don't drink beer ever. You drink wine. Don't drink beer.
Starting point is 00:37:32 As soon as I saw her crack that beer, I was like, she's acting as though she's never had a beer in her life. She probably doesn't drink beer. It was just as bad as when Pocahontas did it. Yeah. Oh, yeah. She was like, I'm having a beer. And then didn't her husband come in and slap her ass on camera? Yeah. Oh, yeah. She was like, I'm having a beer and then didn't like
Starting point is 00:37:45 her husband come in and slap her ass on camera. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Elizabeth Warren was in the kitchen being like, I'm going to have a beer here
Starting point is 00:37:51 and then her husband walked up and was like, what are you doing? Whack. Did he really? I'm pretty sure. Did she have like 400 containers of ice cream
Starting point is 00:37:57 in her fridge? No, that was Nancy Pelosi. Oh, that was Nancy Pelosi. Yeah, I'm pretty sure Elizabeth Warren, let me fact check this. That's hilarious. do you guys remember when she like didn't have her yep a prompter on and she literally couldn't speak at all
Starting point is 00:38:09 yeah because she's she's like a bot they're they're a lot of just like a program i would never recommend this to anybody but she needs to take some improv classes like kamala yeah yeah like i would if anybody ever is like a normal person, should I do improv? I'm like, absolutely not. Please do not do that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But for her, she could use some, she needs to like, yes and. I feel like that's telling someone not to practice.
Starting point is 00:38:33 I'm not a comedian. I don't know. I'm not an actor. I don't know. That's why I'm deferring. The world does not need any more improvisers is what I'm getting at. Okay. We don't need any more.
Starting point is 00:38:41 We're full. I'm back there. Right. But she could use some, any more. We're full. I'm back there. Right? But she could use some classes. Yeah, man. She needs to get loose. Oh, and Michael Scott. Michael Scott took improv classes, didn't he? Remember? With the gun. The character Michael Scott? Michael Scott in The Office. Remember? Because they keep comparing it to him. And he had the thing,
Starting point is 00:38:58 remember, where he always had a gun. Where he was wearing the do-rag for a while? No, I don't know. He always had, he would improv and then he would always have a gun. He goes because he's got a gun. I'm just going to show the video and then you can decide for yourself because every story about this has been scrubbed,
Starting point is 00:39:12 but there's still the video of it. And so here you go. Thank you for joining this video. It's great to hear from you. Hold on a sec. I'm going to get me a beer. You don't talk like that. You don't say, I'm going to get me a beer. You don't talk like that. You don't say, I'm going to get me a beer.
Starting point is 00:39:27 And she could have grabbed it before going live. Hey, my husband Bruce is now in here. You want a beer? No, I'll pass on the beer for now. You sure? We'll go and save a lot of folks. Yes. So this is my sweetie.
Starting point is 00:39:40 Hello. Yeah, you did. You saw that, right? Yeah. That was like a normal interaction. But when he slapped her ass. right? Yeah. That was like a normal interaction. But when he slapped her ass. Yeah, yeah. That was like the controversy, but it's like, it's a husband and wife.
Starting point is 00:39:50 Yeah. It's like, Danny's like, it's totally fine. It's fine. But it was a controversy. Show that you're a person. It does. I suppose, indeed. But she is certainly not.
Starting point is 00:39:59 She was acting very robotic. And she, I'm going to get me a beer. Yes. Would you like a beer? Would you like a beer? Engage beer sequence. Also, shout out to Colin Rugg for that clip. She doesn't want to answer it.
Starting point is 00:40:12 This is a great one. On CNN, breaking it down. I love that. Word salad. Like the CNN, everybody that works there is like, look, we're taking care of ourselves first on this one. They served as the lap dog for the- Didn't you see what they did to Don Lemon and Chris Cuomo?
Starting point is 00:40:24 Look at this. What does that say? What does that say, Ian? Well, it's my glass. Point two. Harris at point two nationally. Ladies and gentlemen, this is a statistical tie. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:37 Point two is meaningless. How did she make up three points in a week? Well, in the last week. Do they... No, no, she's lost. Trump's been skyrocketing. Nationally. Nationally. So take a look at this.
Starting point is 00:40:47 Morning Consult, as of the 18th to the 20th, had Harris up four. Oh, gotcha. Rasmussen has Trump up three. Oh, that's for all of them. Rasmussen is more right-leaning than he believes. So let's go look at Forbes, Harris X, not right-leaning. They say from the 20th to the 21st, after the Morning Consult, Trump is up two.
Starting point is 00:41:04 Then you've got CNBC, which was published later, but tracked before the 20th, Trump up two. And now you have the Wall Street Journal showing Trump is up three. Right now, it is a statistical tie. And this time, in 2020, Biden was up 8.1. What did Biden end up winning by, like five or something? Three or something? I don't know was it three so uh I gotta say right now the battlegrounds Donald Trump is winning all of them every single one in aggregate I don't know if the polls matter all that much to be completely honest
Starting point is 00:41:36 but uh let me just say if they're indicative of anything the narrative right now is that Kamala Harris should not be able to win it would be nice nice. Yeah, I wouldn't bet on any of that. We'll see. You think there's a chance for old Kamala? Do I think there's a chance? Oh, I definitely think there's a chance. I mean, if I had to pick, I would pick Trump, but I would not be surprised. And I'm not even going to pick up any conspiracy theories.
Starting point is 00:42:02 I'm not even going to talk about electronic voting machines and tallies in the background without us being able to pick up any conspiracy theories. I'm not even going to talk about electronic voting machines putting tallies in the background without us being able to inspect the code. No. But what do you think happens with polls showing Trump is winning across the board and the betting market showing he's winning and then some weird thing happens?
Starting point is 00:42:16 So look, you go back to 2020 and they were all saying, oh, Trump won, it was rigged and all that stuff. But Biden still had the polls. Yeah. And then everyone saw the mail-in ballots come in after election Biden still had the polls. Yeah. And then everyone saw the, you know, the mail in ballots come in after Election Day, giving Biden the win is kind of crazy. Trump wins on Election Day. I believe he even declared victory and said, that's it. Like,
Starting point is 00:42:34 look, Election Day is over. You can check what's been counted. I've won. And then Biden votes popped up at the last minute a day or two later, like, oh, actually, these ballots weren't counted yet. So Republicans are like, how are you counting ballots after election day but democrats are like you know what we win there's still some plausible deniability in that biden was up eight points in the polls yeah now kamala is statistically tied with trump and losing the battlegrounds and the bet and the betting markets and if she ends up winning with some weird shenanigans people are going to be like nah not this time yeah they need to get the votes in and tallied as soon as possible day of i mean honestly if you can do that day of but like i don't think that the electronic voting machine network is tight enough to calculate in one afternoon how
Starting point is 00:43:18 many votes they need to flip a vote in one way or the other i don't think it's there yet i'm not sure but it doesn't seem like it i think that's why they would need days. I don't understand. Every four years, they have this, like Chris was saying, the Maricopa County or whatever in Arizona, they're saying it's going to take them... 13 days.
Starting point is 00:43:33 What is that all about? They've had four years to figure this out, and they had four years since the last one. No, they took four years, they figured it out, and they figured the best way to secure the results they want is to give themselves two weeks after Election Day to decide who won.
Starting point is 00:43:43 That's crazy. Yeah, and it's a constitutional crisis uh why is where's the legislative like what is the actual like if you if you put elon musk in charge of this what would he do to be like do you hire more people is that open source the code and let the community just need more people working at the polls i i think it's simple the constitution says we have one election day and any ballot after midnight is based on the garbage yeah just if you had do mail-in ballots you do them beforehand anything that comes in after election day at midnight is not counted you missed your opportunity they should all be paper ballots there shouldn't be any computerization of it at all because paper ballots can be counted and
Starting point is 00:44:20 they're physical things yeah i know you talk about about opening the code and stuff but as long as there is is an is there is of the ability to change it even after the fact or whatever in a computer if you if you do that it can be changed regular write them in not the whole punching things like the chads that they had a problem in 20 in 2000 with with uh george bush regular paper ballots you should have to have an id it would be best if there was no no absentee voting at all it's like get to the poll on the day that it's supposed to be there sure make it a federal holiday so people can have the day off i don't have any problem i don't have they don't want to do that no they don't and they well they don't want ids either 85 percent of the american population think that you should have to show an id to vote reasonable 85 and the government will never do it because the democrats
Starting point is 00:45:15 will never be on board because the democrats know that if you have to show an id then they won't be able to get people that are not citizens to vote that That is God's only reason. I mean, that's how I'm voting. It's so busted. That's how I'm voting. Oh, yeah. That's a joke, guys. That's a joke. That's the thing about the paper ballots. Please don't deport me.
Starting point is 00:45:31 I don't hate paper ballots, and I think we should still use them as backup to a machine if we're going to use the machine, but it relies on you handing them off to someone that's going to hand them off to someone, and you've got to trust a chain of humans, which can be easily corrupted and toss them aside. You have to trust the humans. Yeah, but you don't know which the thing is they don't know if who they're like throwing out right you're just throwing out sealed envelopes maybe they
Starting point is 00:45:53 you don't know if those are the votes but the point look if you're talking about a human point of failure whoever writes the code is going to be able to go it will be a point of failure whoever just be again you continue to say, free up the code, but most people can't read code. Oh, but there's enough people that could inspect the code to see if it's able to flip votes. The machine shouldn't be able to flip the votes. I mean, why not?
Starting point is 00:46:16 Because that's not what they're built to do. They're built to give you the vote that they received. Yeah, I mean, obviously there could be some, maybe a blockchain solution like way down the line. Maybe there's some kind of blockchain solution. Can you, for the votes, if they're postmarked, is that how it works? They just have to be postmarked by midnight?
Starting point is 00:46:33 Well, I think that it should be. Is that the current rule though? I'm not sure. I don't know for sure. You can have it postmarked after November 5th and still count? There are, I think Tim had tweeted one that was like, they had up to the 12th to get it in or something like that but it shouldn't it shouldn't be it should just be look go there the day of and if you can't go there the day of you don't get to
Starting point is 00:46:53 vote i mean if anything just do that for all the people who are watching who are like i want to know who's gonna win yeah it shouldn't be that hard like it should not be this complex it should be show up show your id and vote and if you can't too bad like this is not a it's not a situation where voting is not such as as much as they want the the government tries to make it sound like this sacred important thing that everybody's you know if you don't get to vote it's some massive violation of your civil liberties that's not true at all yeah. Should it be a holiday then? It should be.
Starting point is 00:47:26 I don't have a problem with that. Yeah, make it a holiday. That's fine. Make it a nationwide federal holiday. You know, everybody gets the day off. Everything's closed. You don't get to go to. Maybe get rid of Columbus Day and swap it with.
Starting point is 00:47:39 I mean, the Italians aren't going to like that. They already got rid of Columbus Day. With the whole indigenous people. But make it a holiday and be like, that's it. One day, go vote. Get to the poll. I love that you mentioned blockchain. Oh, did you?
Starting point is 00:47:53 You could punch the ballot, put it in the machine which reads it, puts it on a blockchain, puts it on like six or nine different blockchains. So if someone does get a hold of one of those, they're not going to get a hold of the other eight. And then there you go. You can reference it online with a barcode that no one else has for sure a way that it could be done obviously it would what's what's the argument against public belts well you don't want to know if lynchings people can go find people that voted the way they didn't like and then attack them so yeah i mean that's the whole people don't want to yeah
Starting point is 00:48:22 but i don't know if that's a strong enough argument i I think it happened so much in the past that they realized. Yeah, I don't know if you could have. Like you're saying public, like there's a ledger of everybody who voted. I mean, there's so many people who. That would get rid of fraud. Yeah, yeah. But well, maybe. Because then anybody could pull up the ledger and be like, these people are dead.
Starting point is 00:48:38 Yeah, yeah. Well, for the dead part, for sure. But there's a lot of people who say one thing and then vote differently. And then you could check the ledger and be like, did not vote for that person yeah you should be able to verify your own for sure on a ledger but i think it would be like a secret like a code that you have on your phone that you could scan no one else had access to verify your it's just it's risky to let other the argument is that if it's public people will vote based on what they think and people would not vote trump because they'd be scared for people to see them voting Trump. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:49:05 Yeah, yeah, that would be. I think, again, I don't mind, you know, it should be, you should be, the secret ballots is fine with me, but one day, get in there, show ID, keep it, I think it should be paper ballots,
Starting point is 00:49:19 no computers, no nothing. That's it. And you seal it up, you put it in, I don't even think you should put it into, like, at least where I go and vote, you take the actual ballot and you drop it in a box. You should have an envelope. Put it in the envelope. Seal the envelope.
Starting point is 00:49:33 That probably would make everything take so much longer, though, if they have to open envelopes. I don't think it would take that much longer. What's the actual case for it? There's 350 million people and it just... Yeah, there's 350 million people and it just... I mean, yeah, there's 350 million people. There's only like... We've only managed to get... Last election, a third of America to vote.
Starting point is 00:49:50 150 million. Yeah, so that's not even half the country. Yeah. And it's also split up in a bunch of different places. So the people that collect the votes, maybe there's 10,000 votes, right? Right, yeah. Do we need more of those people? like the people who work at the maybe I mean in cities maybe in my town you don't have to there's only 4,000 of us
Starting point is 00:50:10 and it's probably only 2,000 that actually vote problem is if we're putting them in envelopes sealed and passing them off someone's gonna eventually have to open that envelope and look at it and decide whether or not to scan that thing or if you say no computers to write it down what it says on it and like there's a there's a chain of vulnerability and they're supposed to have people looking over shoulders but if those people are colluding that's what i listen my in my town it's all paper ballots and stuff now like there's a boatload of places that are paper ballots it's when it's all the stuff with dominion is because you have electronic voting all the
Starting point is 00:50:42 lawsuits all that garbage it It's all garbage. A lot of it's because it's proprietary. The way they've set up Dominion is to have a proprietary system. You can't access. You can't reference your own vote. You're going to have companies that are going to want it to be proprietary. They're not going to want to just give it away. It's in public service.
Starting point is 00:50:58 It shouldn't be proprietary. What's your business if it's not proprietary? We shouldn't have a private business doing our public code. It's much more simple if you just do it. A private business our public code. It's much more simple if you just do it. Private business is running prisons. It's much more simple if you do it in private prisons. It's much more simple if you just do it with a paper ballot. You can't verify your vote.
Starting point is 00:51:16 What do you mean you can't verify your vote? If you send it off and it's like, I hope it counts. There's a level of trust in this system. Nobody's ever been able to verify their vote in like all of history Yeah yeah yeah You're talking about changing you want to make a whole new process So that people can look and verify That their vote got counted the way
Starting point is 00:51:31 And that also means that it's not going to be private Where you're going to type in your You're going to have to give your social security number On your ballot so you can look up the ballot And the votes that they Ian what's your social security number It's uh You go to the website you type in your you make an account you put in all your data okay and it would give a bar or thing on the screen you can scan if they can't
Starting point is 00:51:55 have people if they don't want to have people that to to have um id if the if the argument against id is is it's too complicated you think think you're going to go and make a profile? Yeah, that's the thing. The more friction you put, the less likely. If you want to verify your vote, you can go make a profile. That's still making friction. That's still making things that are unnecessary. You don't need any of that.
Starting point is 00:52:21 You can still go vote normal, punching the thing and handing it in. But if then you want to go verify your vote, you have a way to do it on a blockchain. I disagree with you. I'm not going to argue with you anymore. Let's jump to the story from the New York Post. Democrat Senate campaign org fires employee accused of tampering with Montana ballot box. It's not just that. We've got this story from Channel 21 KTV.
Starting point is 00:52:41 It's AP reporting. Twelve Colorado mail-in ballots were stolen and filled out. Three were counted. And then, wasn't there, there's another one that I had pulled up. There was a mailbox set fire to in Arizona that torched 20 ballots. So, you know, we're getting off to a good start here. There's a video of a Democrat staffer tampering with this box in some way. Now, it's funny because they say allegedly tampering.
Starting point is 00:53:03 Why are you saying allegedly? He's seen putting his hands on it and rustling the box around. He's trying to do something. He's literally tampering with the ballot box. We don't know that he succeeded in doing anything or whatever it is he was doing, but he was certainly tampering with it. They fired him, and they said he was simply trying to see if it was secure, if it was secure to the wall. It has nothing to do with the fact that Trump is literally Hitler. Sure. Yeah, right? I just want to see if your mail is secure to the wall. It has nothing to do with the fact that Trump is literally Hitler. Sure.
Starting point is 00:53:25 Yeah, right? I just want to see if your mail is secure in your mailbox. The reason why they say Trump is Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini is not because they want violence. I mean, that may be a component, but it's because they want a standalone complex. They want 10,000 Democrats acting of their own volition to cheat so that they can win. Yeah. their own volition to cheat so that they can win. When it comes to counting the ballots, it takes only maybe a few hundred people even counting votes to go, does that say Trump? It looks like Trump.
Starting point is 00:53:53 Garbage. Yeah. Kamala. Close enough, Kamala. And what's this one? Trimp? Don't know what that is. Kamala.
Starting point is 00:54:02 I know, that's one for Kamala. It's like the whole hanging tats thing, right? Yeah, you got to remove emotions from it. You said trust. There's a certain level of trust, but we've developed systems called trustless systems.
Starting point is 00:54:11 Yeah, yeah. I mean, the Bitcoin ledger, obviously, there must be some way to change over to that one day, but I want to have... Some 90-year-old who wants to vote. They need three individuals per vote to count.
Starting point is 00:54:23 Like Jimmy Carter. Jimmy Carter's not going to vote on the blockchain. They need to have some 90 year old who wants to vote like individuals per vote to count. Jimmy Carter. Jimmy Carter is not going to vote on the block chain. They need three individuals per vote counted. So all counting should be done by hand. All votes done by paper. And it should be a Trump voter, a Kamala voter and an independent. And all three of them go through each one and make a determination as to who got the vote. And then if there's a discrepancy, they escalate to a separate. Yep. But do you what do you think about an open source blockchain? I think it has nothing
Starting point is 00:54:50 to do with what we're seeing in destruction of with tampering with ballot boxes and torching ballots. You wouldn't have paper to worry about. And so the issue we're dealing with right now and the concerns that we have are pertaining to the fact that already we are seeing ballots destroyed and tampered with. And what will that mean for Election Day? That paper ballots are vulnerable. What do you think, Phil? I think the paper ballots are the way to go. What do you think happens on Election Day if right now we're already seeing ballots get destroyed or ballot boxes? I mean, you can't for 170 or 150 million votes. There's going to be some non-zero level of malarkey.
Starting point is 00:55:26 Do you think this stuff always happens? Yes. And we never pay attention? Absolutely. Every time ever. So why don't we see all these stories leading up to every other election then? Well, because up until 12 years ago, there was no social media. So if you go to CNN.
Starting point is 00:55:42 The Spirit Post. Well, I guess maybe they would have you know maybe this is a democrat office firing a guy and it's an official report yeah this is this is high level you know what i'm sure you could have found these things but now it's just so much more magnified there's cameras everyone's got a camera cameras everywhere exactly you know there's cameras everywhere everybody's got a camera i'm sure this stuff has happened i think so too i think regimes have been controlling narratives then the question is if it's in the mind of people will anyone trust the results with a single story about ballot destruction i don't think anyone's going to trust the results
Starting point is 00:56:14 either way literally yeah no no nobody even if common either side is both wave and say we agree it's everything's good here even in 2016 there the, you know, the Trump-Russia stuff. In 2020, there was like, you know, the whole like Trump said that he won and stuff. There's no way that like that. I think that's the idea of people actually accepting the vote as honest. That chip sail. The only people who are going to accept the vote are the people who voted for Chase Oliver or Jill Stein. They know those people are losing regardless.
Starting point is 00:56:47 But everybody who is a Democrat or Republican voter will not accept the results. This is what I don't understand. It sounds like you're saying no one's going to trust it, but let's just do it anyway. No one's going to trust it regardless of how we do it. What if you secured it on digital? We're not doing that this year. No one's going to trust it because there's already been, like they're going to say, oh, well well look,
Starting point is 00:57:05 there was the whole stuff with Dominion. Computers can be hacked. No one's going to trust it because they're not going to trust it. Not because the system is uniquely insecure. It's just that people won't trust. Do you then agree with Rudyard? That there's going to be violence?
Starting point is 00:57:22 1,000 dead by April? I don't know about that, but I mean, I articulated my position last night, and I do think that we're in for shenanigans. I don't see how...
Starting point is 00:57:35 It's funny, because these polymarket odds are like 2 to 1 Trump, and I'm like, have they considered the possibility that there's no inauguration? Well, then you get your money back. I think that's neither a yes nor a no.
Starting point is 00:57:46 You get your money back for those things? Yeah, yeah. It has to be resolved. If you ever bet on Polymarket, it says it's resolved a yes if he's elected. It says if the AP, Fox, and I think NBC call the winner, then it resolves for the winner. So it doesn't have to be. And if it doesn't, it gets called by the press on Inauguration Day. Whoever is inaugurated will be the resolution.
Starting point is 00:58:07 And what happens if there's no inauguration? What happens if there's two? There's two separate inaugurations? Where are they going to happen? How does that work? What do you mean? A group of people get together and hold up the Bible and then Kamala and Trump both swear on it in different places.
Starting point is 00:58:27 That'll be fun. I'll be. So here's a, here's a long shot scenario for you. The, uh, Democrats refuse to certify Donald Trump citing that he is ineligible under the 14th amendment section three.
Starting point is 00:58:38 So they refuse to count votes for Donald Trump. Instead counting votes for Kamala Harris to give her the electoral college victory. Trump and other Republicans say, this is ridiculous. We know for a fact he won. Democrats say, nope, we've certified Kamala to win. Doesn't matter. We're we're the House and we certify. Thank you. Have a nice day. She's also the vice president. She'll be the one counting the votes. So when Jamie Raskin, who already said they intend to do this literally in February, he said they will not certify Donald Trump if he wins. I'm telling you,
Starting point is 00:59:05 said this literally at a bookstore conference. He was a roundtable or whatever panel. And he said, if Trump wins, we will have civil war conditions. We will not certify the vote. We will say, Donald Trump, you are ineligible under the 14th Amendment. What happens then when there's no resolution? The Supreme Court gets petitioned by everybody. And then come January 20th, the White House or the Capitol grounds, they're closed. We're not doing anything. So Kamala goes to one building. Trump goes to the other. And they both claim to have an inauguration.
Starting point is 00:59:34 It's a bit above my pay grade. Yeah. I'm saying not for you. I'm saying what does Polly Market do? Oh, what does Polly Market do? Trump wins because the press is saying he has the most votes, but even though they didn't say he won. Well, I guess who, I don't know, yeah, maybe. So then who's the, and there's just two official presidents?
Starting point is 00:59:51 Well, that's called a crappy TV show. It was a civil war in the United States that had two presidents. Yeah, I guess. But they both operated. So Rudyard Lynch, what if Alt-Hist made the prediction that there would be a Patriots capital in Austin and a Peoples in D.C.? And I disagreed with him. I said, well, that doesn't make sense because you said he thinks Trump is going to win. If Trump wins and Democrats revolt, Democrats ain't going to Austin.
Starting point is 01:00:16 Republicans would be. Of course. So Republicans would have D.C. Democrats would go to New York. New York is a seat of power for the Democrats. And then they would have their Congress and Trump Tower. Well, they'd seize Trump Tower for sure. Seize Trump Tower. And that would be the new. Oh, that's a good point. Congress, Congress, Democrat, Democrat members would go
Starting point is 01:00:34 there and say Trump is ineligible and we are not going to be party to a corrupt fascist takeover of government. This is a coup, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Honestly, they're not competent enough to pull something like that off, I don't think. I disagree. Yeah. You got to read Sun Tzu. All right, we'll see. Don't underestimate your opponents.
Starting point is 01:00:52 Yeah, we'll see, I guess. It's depressing. I don't know. I mean, that scenario seems closer to like a movie, but I could definitely see some violence. Absolutely. Mostly coming from the left. Rudyard may just be a guy. Some guy on the internet.
Starting point is 01:01:11 We're all just guys on the internet, aren't we? And so when he says he has a standing bet, $1,000 if 1,000 people die by April, I'm like, that's a pretty extreme claim to make. I mean, that's months away. That's half a year. It's going to be like COVID all over again where you're like, well, how did they they die of no he's saying he's saying specifically if domestic political violence results in in death like it's it's a clear-cut bombing kind of he said
Starting point is 01:01:33 it's gonna be like you go to work every day you watch the tv but bombs will be going off in chicago ever get in a fist fight because he was talking like a kid behind a computer screen like but what does that have to do with like does he really think that he's looking for it? Yeah, what do you mean? He was saying he read about the history of Chinese dynasties, the French Revolution, the Spanish Civil War, and the Russian Revolution. And based on those things that he's read, here's his predictions. And he may just be some guy who read some stuff and is wrong. That's sure.
Starting point is 01:01:58 I mean, this stuff has happened over and over again throughout history. We're living in a pretty relatively calm time. That's the crazy thing, is that we had a golden age for 30 years. Yeah. Longer. You know, 30, 35 years. Well, it's coming to a close.
Starting point is 01:02:12 Depends on what we do next, man. It's the fourth turning. It's definitely coming to a close. You see, like, the end of the 1700s, the way they invented, developed electricity, and it popped off. Golden age. Like, batteries, electricity, chemistry.
Starting point is 01:02:24 And if we do some new technological breakthrough we could have space I don't know how that changes I conflict yeah I mean again people on the left are not like like Democrats if Trump wins are not going to take it well especially because like there was a period a month or so ago when it was looking like Kamala Harris is just running away with it. Remember that where like the odds shifted and she went ahead? Yeah. And they were getting pretty jubilant.
Starting point is 01:02:50 I just don't think it's going to be the ultimate letdown for them. I'm saying, listen, ladies and gentlemen, you have to prepare. And this is for you, Danny. You have to prepare. Go back to Canada. You cannot. No, you can't do that. No, I'm not.
Starting point is 01:03:02 You cannot sit around just waiting, wishing for the best. You got to go out. You got to buy backup batteries because when Trump wins, these Democrats are going to be on the ground wailing like banshees and you need to film it and post it to actually get to watch. Well, you should get a backup battery. Jackery is a good one. I have a Jackery battery when the power went out of my house. I don't think there's that graphene in mine, but then you got to power my power. I got a graphene battery. Ian's not. I think I have. I think I have a graphene battery when I got you. there's that graphene in mine, but my power one. I got a graphene battery. Ian's not. I think I have a graphene battery. The one I got you.
Starting point is 01:03:28 Yeah, that little guy. Starlink one. But I've got a big Jackery ACDC power. It's great. Graphene backup batteries. You know those portable batteries? Yeah, yeah. The graphene one can be charged up in 10 minutes.
Starting point is 01:03:39 Wow. Check it out. Because the way it works is it's a lithium-ion battery with, I guess they say they've got a graphene sheet running through it, which charges it equally and evenly all at once. So the energy goes straight into it, charges it. So you've got two full cell phone charges in 10 minutes. There's a new gallium nitride as the new superconductor they're using. A McTinney, look at this, 10,000 milliamp hour battery. What, really?
Starting point is 01:04:04 It's this thing, dude. It has plugs in it. 10,000 milliamp hour battery. What, really? It's this thing, dude. It has plugs in it. 10,000. 10,000. Dude, it can charge my phone two and a half times, this little guy. It's at 84% now.
Starting point is 01:04:13 I've been charging it for about 20, 30 minutes. Well, look, we all saw the video of the woman dropping to her knees and screaming no in 2016. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:04:20 I think about that a lot. No, I think about what scares me the most is that it's going to be November 5th, and Democrats across this country are going to be dropping to their knees and screaming no, and Republicans will have dead phones. Their phones are going to be dead, and they're going to be like, I can't get out. I've got 1% left.
Starting point is 01:04:33 No, I couldn't film it. And then what am I going to do? I'm on X, and I just see, what, one picture? Assuming the Internet's up everywhere. Unacceptable. I've got Starlink. Starlink is the key. You can use your cell phone as a mobile network
Starting point is 01:04:45 and then put your laptop through that network. You can charge your Jackery battery through your car if you need to. If you really run out for like a day, you've got your car to charge your battery, which can charge your laptop and your phone. Let's jump into the story. Just to cut you off, but do you think she comes to the,
Starting point is 01:05:00 if he gets, like if he wins, do you think she comes to his inauguration? Oh, I have no idea. That woman? Let's read the story. We've got the Washington Examiner. Fear of election violence and civil war surge.
Starting point is 01:05:12 Now that is called burying the lead, my friends, because here's the better story. The nation's largest network of survival camps is urging its members to spend election day inside its guarded fences due to growing concerns about political violence and civil war. Fortitude Ranch, which has several established and planned off the grid prepper resorts, issued its call after pollsters reporting surging fears of violence from the losing side in next month's election. Quote, if you are a Fortitude Ranch survival community member, they are going to be open on election day. So members who are in areas of high risk of post-election protest violence can take refuge. Fortitude Ranch staff does not consider the likelihood of immediate post-election violence or civil war to be high, but there is a strong
Starting point is 01:05:52 likelihood of some violence by the 50 percent or more of the population that will be very angry with the November 5th results, said the organization on its Collapse Survivor app. Okay, well, there's two ways to look at it. Here's a question for you. Is Fortitude Ranch being completely straightforward in, you know, there may be some protests and you might want to, if you're in a high risk area, be at this camp where you can chill out and they're really nice places. Or are they trying to avoid alarming people and sparking panic by saying, if you are in a high risk area, the chance of danger, violence, death is extremely high. You need to get out now, which could cause a panic.
Starting point is 01:06:30 Probably the second. You think they're avoiding a panic? Yeah, they probably genuinely believe it. If there's ever been a risk to political, like serious confrontational political violence in the last 30 years in the United States, it's going to be on November 5th or like right around that time because of the hot media. I don't know where these people, where are they located? All over the country. Well, because I assume the type of person who goes to one of these is heavily armed.
Starting point is 01:06:53 Yep. Right. So let me tell you about Fortitude Ranch. Okay. They're basically man resorts. Yeah. Okay. So they say survival community, but I tell you what it really is.
Starting point is 01:07:03 They've got bunkers. Yeah. They got emergency food but when you go there it's basically like a dude's retreat where you've got like you're chopping wood you're shooting guns you're watching movies in a log cabin oh it sounds fun yeah it's super fun it's like it's like a timeshare for dudes like a spa for dudes like are they just trying to sell more timeshares you're you're larping that you're a commando in the end of the world and but the reality is that if the world does end, you definitely want to be there. Yeah. It's your cool vacation spot to go and do man stuff. And in the unlikely event that the world actually does end, you have a place to go should you need it.
Starting point is 01:07:37 Man, RFK said a vote for Kamala is a vote for nuclear war. Did you see that? Wow. Today, I think he said that. I would think of that as rhetoric, but I mean, he's. That's why I wonder if Fortitude is really thinking like, nothing's going to happen, but come hang out, you know? They're really very good about contingencies.
Starting point is 01:07:55 And I think they do believe that if there is something possible that might happen, it's going to happen early after the election. So be here for that. I agree with that. Yeah, it probably will happen right away and again they're probably just trying to sell the the the real i i a lot of people talk about the you know fighting the government or whatever that's not what is going to happen or at least not what i imagine is going to happen i think that there's going to be a lot of people
Starting point is 01:08:20 that are going to be angry with other people like as much as much as, like, Donald Trump is the big boogeyman, you see the way that, like, leftists and stuff treat other Americans. Like, the woman that went up to that person's, they caught her on the ring camera. She went up to the house, and she literally knocked on the door, and she was wigging out
Starting point is 01:08:37 because this woman was a Trump voter and stuff. I imagine, and, you know, it was the guy that got shot in seattle aaron danielson yeah aaron daniel is that seattle or is that portland well the pacific northwest there you go um but but even still he was shot specifically because he was a trump voter um i imagine those things would be more of a of a problem for your average american than like having to fight the government because nobody's really going to want to fight the government. No, no.
Starting point is 01:09:07 I do want to add this as a personal disclosure. I have as small as a minority stake as possible in Fortitude, like single digit, but I don't communicate with them. I don't know much about what they're doing or why they're doing it. I just want to make sure that's clear. Clarify too, Aaron Danielson was in Portland, yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:23 Yeah, we met the Fortitude guys. We've had the CEO on the show and the CEO. When they to Aaron, Aaron Danielson was in Portland. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We met the fortitude guys. We've had the CEO on the show and the C when, when they came on, I basically wrote a check like, Hey, if something happens, can I bring my family? And they're like,
Starting point is 01:09:33 great guys, super honest guys. And I, I've X military. It sounds like a fun time. The CEO, I think he's X military. Was he?
Starting point is 01:09:39 Yeah. They're all X intelligence, military and stuff like that. But so that's why I'm saying like, it's more of a, they call it off the grid pepper resorts. That's exactly how I describe it's more of a... They call it off-the-grid pepper resorts. That's exactly how I describe it. You hang out and there's chickens,
Starting point is 01:09:49 and you LARP as being a man in the wilderness. You're not like, all the food you're eating is reconstituted with water, like rations style? No, you're eating cheeseburgers and normal food. This just sounds like a fun man retreat. Yeah, it's like a man retreat. But like I said, if the world is about to end, you definitely want to be there.
Starting point is 01:10:04 So that's why I asked the question, are they trying to downplay this because they don't want everyone jumping in their cars and speeding and then everything fills up and then they've got people banging on the door? Exactly, yeah. They're like, if it's going to happen, just on the off chance, be here before it happens. Because they did this last time around. That's how we ended up meeting them, actually. Because I think in 2020, they issued a call saying, if you're a member, it's time to come to the bunkers. Yeah. Where they go,
Starting point is 01:10:29 Oh! It's more boring than that. You have an app and it goes, and then it's like, close the wall. It's like this giant 9,000-foot-high wall. I mean, you just don't want to be anywhere densely populated, and you're fine fine if you're in like I can
Starting point is 01:10:47 I still even find it hard but isn't it funny that they destroy their own cities what's that they destroy their own cities yeah I mean like New York City like Williamsburg is gonna get I remember so specifically when Joe Biden when they called it for Biden in 2020 I was sleeping it was like 11 It was like 11 a.m. You heard the... And I was sleeping, and literally I woke up to cheering in the streets, right?
Starting point is 01:11:14 And I didn't know what was going on. I was kind of confused, and I just hear all this cheering. I'm like, oh, Biden won. And I walked outside. It looked like... I remember when I lived in Toronto, the Toronto Raptors won the NBA finals.
Starting point is 01:11:25 That's what it looked like. The streets were just full of jubilant people. This will be the opposite. This will be the opposite of that. Who wants to live in New York? It's so wild. I don't do it by choice. Then why do you do it?
Starting point is 01:11:38 Because comedy is good there. You live in Jersey. Well, I actually do live in Jersey. Aha! We got him. But I'm moving back to New York. Yeah, I know do live in Jersey. Aha! We got him. I'm moving back to New York. Yeah, I know that joy of living close to the action.
Starting point is 01:11:50 I like to spend time in Miami for that reason, but it's nice to be in the woods. Nah, bro, I tell you, you got to come here. You got to go to Images over on 340. Every Saturday, there's like two or three people hanging out. Just bombard them with a set. You're laughing at us rural folk out here? What are you doing, huh?
Starting point is 01:12:07 All I need is one set every two weeks. Well, how often do you do a set? Ten times a week. Wow. Yeah, it's like New York's the only place. Maybe Austin. Did you just say the same joke over and over and over again? Sometimes different ones, yeah. But it's whatever I'm working on. But I don't like whatever I'm working on for that period. It's a different culture in a big city in the United states it is such a different this country is so so vastly uh
Starting point is 01:12:30 divergent like being in miami it's like being in a different country that's i feel if i understand correctly that's the way that it's been for i mean as long as there have been cities yeah the culture in the city and the culture in the rural areas are significantly different yeah i mean like there's a reason why most large cities in this country are democratic like are there any huge cities that that go red like maybe like dallas i don't know i don't even know like it seems like most cities to go oh yeah yeah you know it's like the the big city everybody's a democrat and then outside of it everyone's a republican i mean even new york it's like that like there's that vibe like they'll take care of me if i'm in the city either they're gonna take care of me or it's all screwed so they better take care of
Starting point is 01:13:11 me yeah whoever they are i don't know like if there's a fire we can't put it out if if no he falls down please someone comes just joking about yesterday i was in uh greenwich village and there's like a giant like greenwich village is literally a one-bedroom apartment is six thousand dollars a month and there's a hardware store like in pro like must be sitting on a piece of land that would sell for 200 million dollars like it's so valuable and there's just like a hardware store like nobody here's going to a hardware store like what is it even for like nobody around here fixes stuff their own stuff when it breaks like you know well the help has to get something to fix it they're all bug men yeah but still but they that like all this stuff should be can be delivered by amazon nowadays oh
Starting point is 01:13:53 true that's right oh man big time i find myself using amazon do you feel bad about it uh kind of not i'm going hard on twitch and i'm just kind of like yay amazon, Amazon, yay, corporations. Like, I understand the danger of centralization of authority and power. Like, Amazon could create a drone army and take over the country. Sure. If they tried, they could try, and they could make a dent. You're still giving Jeff ideas.
Starting point is 01:14:16 Yeah, that's crazy. I mean, it's literally magic what they do. But it's kind of like we were talking about small government earlier, and I was thinking about the men who built America and how valuable it is to kind of strip away bureaucracy like elon and stuff in like we had rockefeller and carnegie and vanderbilt and how much power these individuals and their corporations accrued because of that so you do kind of want some government limiting
Starting point is 01:14:36 corporate power but i think we have too much government yeah rockefeller was a g he was doing by himself one percent of the American GDP. By himself. We should have taxed him and taken everything from him. They tried. They split up his companies and then he got even richer. Just because it's wrong to be rich for no reason. He wasn't rich for no reason.
Starting point is 01:14:57 He did all that stuff. If you win the lottery, you're instantly evil. That's just the way it works. Terrible, terrible take. If you win the lottery, we should take all of your money from you And distribute it to the people Everyone in this room has won the geographical lottery Except for you, you're Canadian I still feel like
Starting point is 01:15:12 There was a chance that I grew up in Russia So I'll take it You're as protected by America as you can be And not be in America Do you ever go to Canada? My family lives there. Do you go X months a year or anything? No, no, no.
Starting point is 01:15:28 Do you have to do hostile environment training and get prepared to go back because of how bad it is? It's not. Well, my parents live in a suburb of Toronto, so it's fine. It's bad, but it's not that bad? It's not that bad, no. I worry about going to Canada because of my X posts.
Starting point is 01:15:41 I'm surprised you don't worry about going there because of your comedy routine. Oh, I say some crazy stuff. I mean, I made this one thing about Trudeau on Colbert, this AI video that went like super viral in Canada. Oh, yeah. You got in trouble for that, didn't you? No, I got in trouble for the Jake Tapper.
Starting point is 01:15:55 I didn't get in trouble for the Jake Tapper one. I made this one about the exploding goats, basically when the pagers were going off. And then I said goats. And then Jake Tapper messaged me. What? And he's like, I need to talk to you. And I was like, are you joking?
Starting point is 01:16:06 I'm no, no, no. I'm friends with Jake Tapper now. And literally he messaged me because it went like mega viral, like tens of millions of views. And then he messaged me on Twitter and he's like, Danny, this is Jake Tapper. I need to talk to you. Text him and tell him. And I was like, I'm in so much trouble because I need two different ones.
Starting point is 01:16:24 And then Jake Tapper. Well, I just thought he was like, I'm in so much trouble because I need two different ones. Jake Tapper? Well, I just thought he was like, stop using my face for your comedy videos. Like, stop it or whatever or we're going to see you. Was he like, hey, this was really funny enough?
Starting point is 01:16:33 Yeah, he was like, can you make me an AI video for CNN because I want to do a segment about the dangers of AI. And I'm like, I'm the danger. Did he do the segment?
Starting point is 01:16:43 Yeah, he did the segment. And then I'm like, it's going to show you with like a Hitler mustache. like a hitler mustache no this guy did this to me no but then he's making it his like whole like top like concern right now is this ai stuff and he went on seth myers he was talking about me and he called me get him to tell his wife to drop out of the new hampshire race because i don't want her to be my congressperson. I mean, I have his phone number, but I'm not going to do that. Give it to me. Jake, tell her to drop out.
Starting point is 01:17:10 She's running? She's running against Lily Tang. She lives in New Hampshire? Yeah. For the purpose of going to Congress. Right, because he must live in New York. I'm sure he does. How long has she lived in New Hampshire?
Starting point is 01:17:20 I have no idea. Long enough to be like, oh, I want to run for president. But she's totally backed by... She's trying to be what, a congresswoman? Yeah. She's trying to take New Hampshire's second congresswoman. Shout out to Lily Tang Williams. I like her a lot. She's been on the show. Lily's great. If you're a
Starting point is 01:17:35 voting kind and you're in New Hampshire, you should go vote for her. She's from China. She understands big on gun rights. She understands self-sovereignty and how important... Jay Tapper's wife is a total deep state apparatchik. No joke, she is. Yeah. I believe it.
Starting point is 01:17:49 I'm not kidding at all. So now you and Jake are tight. Yeah. You've been working on, so I kind of want to see one of these videos. Why don't you get him in a video with you and Ryan? You know what it is? I said this on the boys cast,
Starting point is 01:18:01 but so his producer, he basically was like, can you make me this video of me speaking? And he gave me like all these things to write. And I was like, sure, I'll make it for you. It only takes me like 20 minutes. And then in it, funny enough, he said, like in the text, he said, this video was made by this brilliant comedian, Danny Palachuk.
Starting point is 01:18:18 And I kind of like rolled my eyes. I was like, whatever, this is what he wanted. And then I made it and I was in a group chat with him and his producer. And then I sent them the video and then she messaged me uh like off to the side just one on one she's like hey can you remake the video but just remove the word brilliant but i was like those were his words i didn't even want to say that what's that i would just been like sorry that's what jake wanted uh, what I understand is that I'm making fun of CNN. You should have just said no.
Starting point is 01:18:48 I'm making fun. Obviously, I'm like, CNN is somewhat the butt of the joke to a degree here. And they're trying to use this. And so he can't totally endorse me publicly. You could have taken out brilliant but put genius. Here you go. I fixed it. Mega genius comedian.
Starting point is 01:19:06 Handsome. No, I just wanted you to just remove that. You said remove it, I did. And then he went on Seth Meyers. He went on Seth Meyers and he's like, this comedian is making these gross videos. Did they show a picture of your face where your skin was like turned green like Rogan?
Starting point is 01:19:24 Oh yeah, no. They're like, look at him. He looks terrible. So what do you think about- It made you fatter. What do you think about regulating AI? Honestly, so I make all these AI videos. I've been making them for the last month.
Starting point is 01:19:33 And like there is some percentage, not a small percentage of people who cannot tell the difference between real and fake things. Like they just can't. I don't know if it's because their glasses aren't on, they're not paying attention. I don't know. But like the exploding goats video I made, that was the first one I made that went super viral. I got a Snopes fact check.
Starting point is 01:19:55 Like Snopes contacted me and they're like, hey, can I ask you some questions? We're doing a fact check. I'm like, you're talking to a comedian right now. So that should be the end of your fact check. And they're like, well, no, because there's all these people on Twitter who are saying that the IDF is Mossad is blowing up goats in whatever Lebanon, like all these goats in Lebanon are exploding and people are saying this as fact.
Starting point is 01:20:22 So we need to do a fact check on it. And there's just there's some degree of people that need to do a fact check on it and there's just there's some degree of people now i don't know what the rep like if there's negative repercussions of that like i think it's fine i i agree it probably shouldn't be in political ads but maybe it should be i mean if it is it'll get so out of hand and i'll gladly if anybody wants me to make them i'm getting pretty good at it just use like an app or what? I use this thing. It's called, it's actually just like an open source.
Starting point is 01:20:49 It's called Easy Wave to Lip. It's like a GitHub repo. And then you just run it in a Google collab, like just a source. It's really easy. And then what, do you make the work? You just take in the source. Yeah,
Starting point is 01:21:00 so I write a script and then I put it into this, like 11 Labs voice cloner thing. And then you just get a source audio, and then it clones it, and then you just export the text, and then you just sync them to the audio and video. Does it make the mouth move, like Jake Tapper's mouth move? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it looks almost real? Yeah. I made an Anderson Cooper one one for about the wnba and like you like honestly if you're looking at it you can tell but if you're kind of like there's a lot of people who see these and
Starting point is 01:21:30 cannot tell especially a little screen because they have bad eyes i'm not being yeah yeah no no seriously seriously and that like this screen might be a little blurry and so it just looks like anderson's seat in four i purposely make them like outlandish enough where you're like clearly this is not real why don't you make one right now which is like trump won it's over well because i don't want to get deported i agree with you about political i think it's risky i mean you know actually yeah douglas mackie right like that guy's in jail for like seven years that he didn't make it either i know and i'm very conscious of the fact that I could cross some line and wind up in prison.
Starting point is 01:22:07 Yeah. Just by making an AI video? Like, if I do one that I'm like, oh, no, that's comedy. And they're like, yeah. Well, we don't. You should make one of Ryan Long saying that. I was going to make one of him endorsing Kamala Harris. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 01:22:18 There you go. That would be awesome. Go check out Ryan's new comedy special, by the way. Yeah, where is it? It's on YouTube. Ryan Long Comedy? special, by the way. Yeah, where is it? It's on YouTube. Ryan Long Comedy? Yeah, Ryan Long Comedy. Ooh, when did it drop?
Starting point is 01:22:29 It just came out like a week ago. Is it offensive? It is very offensive. Oh, thank God. Yeah, yeah. We were filming jokes in the other room with the puppets. Because we got puppets of Richie and Mike, special Mike made. And you.
Starting point is 01:22:44 Well, the me one was from Jack Posobiec. And so we had these other ones and me and Richie were just goofing off and making jokes and being silly. And then I was about to start a joke,
Starting point is 01:22:50 but Sam was filming and I was like, wait, Sam, stop filming. And he goes, now I know it's going to be funny. He was right. You're like,
Starting point is 01:22:57 this could damage the brand. No, it was a really dark one. Oh boy. And I was like, we can't film this one. And everybody agreed. That's cool. Yeah, dude, I could make an AI of all of us talking and saying wild stuff.
Starting point is 01:23:11 And there is, not to discourage your viewers, but there is some percentage of people watching right now who would be like, is Tim actually saying this stuff? You should take a transcription of what Seamus says about his faith and religion, but then make Ian say it. Oh, that'd be great. And then make him say the stuff I say. Or maybe Seamus talking about how much he loves the devil. And DMT. Yes. That would just be offensive.
Starting point is 01:23:34 Yeah. Like having Ian preach about how he's a devout Catholic and he goes to church and reads the Bible. How's that not offensive to me? Yeah. No, I'm just kidding. You wouldn't be offended by it. It's less offensive. But Seamus talking about DMT would be great.
Starting point is 01:23:44 Making Seamus pray the devil would be. That's it. It's less offensive, but if Seamus was talking about DMT, it would be great. Making Seamus praise the devil would be... That's it. So you're like on the cusp of this stuff. But it's... I am,
Starting point is 01:23:50 but it's like all this stuff costs me 20 bucks a month to use all this stuff, unlimited. So it's pretty expensive. Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:23:57 Real chatter. And it's like the learning curve I could teach this to you in five minutes. Well, why don't we do this in the members only? Yeah, let's do it. Let's make something crazy.
Starting point is 01:24:08 Let's do it. It's really easy. Let's make... We can make a simple one because the problem is it takes time to render. That's the only thing that it does take some time to render the video. We showed you Suno. Yeah, Suno's amazing. That blew my mind. Yeah, it was funny because
Starting point is 01:24:23 Special Mike, for those that don't know, he's one of our team riders at the Boonies, and he's ridiculously good. Trying to explain his skill level, because I was saying he's like a top-level pro skater, but he doesn't skate like you'd see on any of these famous videos. I said he's the Nigel Houston of Mike Valelis, and instantly every skateboarder understands completely what I'm saying, but you guys have no idea. But anyway,
Starting point is 01:24:48 he's trying to do, like there's been a couple times in the past few days where he's trying to land a trick and we made this AI song four months ago where it's a pop punk song where the guy just says special mic is the greatest skateboarder and then he's trying to do this trick, so I just turn
Starting point is 01:25:04 it on, he lands it right away. And then he was trying to do this trick, so I just turn it on, he lands it right away. Really? And then he was trying to do a kickflip indie, it's a trick, over this gap, and he's falling, falling, he gives up, and I was like, oh, come on, I know you can do this. I put the song on, and the pop punk song turns on, and then he lands it right away. And then one of the other pros here is like,
Starting point is 01:25:19 what is this? Like, who wrote this song about Special Mike? And I was like, what do you mean? You've never heard this one. This is a classic pop punk song from like 2003, but special Mike, the greatest skateboarder. Yeah. How could you have not?
Starting point is 01:25:30 And then we wrote one about him. And then he's just like, what, what is happening when people don't know what Suno is. And you hear a pop punk song. It sounds like it's from 2006 and they're singing about you and what you do with your life. You're like,
Starting point is 01:25:43 how is this possible? Now imagine what kids are going to grow up with. You know, singing about you and what you do with your life, you're like, how is this possible? Yeah. Now, imagine what kids are going to grow up with. You know, it used to be difficult to make a song. And when a song was about something, it was like looking at a stone monolith. You don't know how long it took to build. Someone had to chisel. You have to learn an instrument. That's interesting. But it was, it was studio recordings. It was multiple people. It was a singer. And so when they sang, it was akin to a large statue. Now, it's like Play-Doh. Now you can turn on a speaker and it's Donald Trump singing Gangster's Paradise. I've noticed when I record myself doing something and I watch it over and over and over again,
Starting point is 01:26:15 it becomes easier to replicate it. So when I hit those notes in a song, the really hard ones, I can do it easier because I've seen myself do it so many times. So if I forged an AI of me doing something challenging, I wonder if that would make it easier for me to actually accomplish. Oh, if you just have to see it, like, do something that is out of your kind of... And I believe I can do it because I've seen myself do it so many times. Yeah. Wow. Yeah, this AI stuff is getting crazy, man.
Starting point is 01:26:39 It is. But yeah, like, they're going to try... Like, the Jake Tapper thing is he had Amy Klobuchar on, and she's trying to put together some bill. But again, it's a First Amendment issue. Right, right. And if I if I was saying before, if I can do an impersonation or an impression of Donald Trump, why can't I use a tool to simulate? What's the difference?
Starting point is 01:26:58 Absolutely. And now if I started trying to do some, you know, something that I guess would you know create civil unrest and i was and again whatever technology i have access to which is open source and cheap the north korean or the chinese government they have 10 versions ahead of this they could do like probably some wild stuff the the crazy thing is when you stop seeing deep fakes is when you should be scared. Oh, man, that's for sure. The difference is impressions and impersonations. It's the difference. Because if you're doing an impression of someone, you're good. But as soon as you start to impersonate, especially a politician.
Starting point is 01:27:36 Impersonation implying you are intending to deceive someone that you are them for the sake of some kind of gain or whatever. Yeah. And the thing is, like, what I'm doing is definitely covered by the First Amendment and parity law, but they wrote those laws AI wasn't a thing. They were like, yeah, of course, you can put on a wig
Starting point is 01:27:51 and pretend to be Donald Trump. Right. But even just voice. Voice, yeah. You know, and a lot of people do a really good Donald Trump voice.
Starting point is 01:27:59 Yeah. So the AI is not a perfect Trump voice, but it's close enough to where people might think it. No, that's not perfect. And if you get a really good impression from someone, they might be like, oh, that sounds a lot like him.
Starting point is 01:28:09 And I mean, Gavin Newsom's AI bill, which obviously was mostly nonsense, but part of it was like, hey, you can't just, if you're a Hollywood studio, you can't take some actor and just use their voice. Yeah. Right? But I am. Hollywood's over. Hollywood is a we're like, I was saying before a couple of years out, but it could be sooner than that, where you just sit down on your TV and there's going to be an app called like it's going to be called like Hollywood star or something. And you're going to say, render me a movie about Spider-Man, but he wants to be a stand up comedian. And so he hangs out with Danny Polish Chuck and then he succeeds and it will be like rendering. And then you'll it'll take like 15, 20 minutes and then it'll play.
Starting point is 01:28:47 And you will literally watch a full movie with Spider-Man. The amount of entertainment I've gotten out of Suno, just sitting down and making songs for three hours and listening to the songs is like, dude, I just went to a concert. If you just, you know, you hit that generate button enough times,
Starting point is 01:29:01 it's going to crank out a hit at some point. Dude, it's going to be insane, the kind of things that are created in the next year or two you're a musician what do you think when how long until they're no about like the suno thing you have you have you seen it no okay oh you haven't seen it at all hasn't seen this well we'll mess around with this stuff in the after in the member show but i'm imagining coming for your job dude you're gonna see videos of like someone's gonna say give me an episode of Friends where Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin shows up and blows up the Friends apartment, but then Phoebe ends up falling for him and they get married.
Starting point is 01:29:31 Yeah. And then could you imagine watching that? You could just, whatever you imagine. Oh, you throw in a VR and you're in the room with them. The problem is it's not going to, like the, you know, the little intricacies and like the dialogue. No, it'll get it. It'll get it.
Starting point is 01:29:40 That I don't know. There's an AI. I think the storytellers will still be needed. Not good. I'm going to play a song for you there's an AI mod for Skyrim where you can talk to the NPCs
Starting point is 01:29:49 and they respond the thing about about at least as far as like my job goes artists and stuff like the personality is gonna
Starting point is 01:29:56 is what matters nowadays like they can AI songs and stuff but the actual like comedy I'm actually not worried about comedy
Starting point is 01:30:03 I've got two songs they're clips and these are Donald Trump tweets that we made earlier in the year check this out songs and stuff. I'm actually not worried about comedy. I've got two songs. They're clips. And these are Donald Trump tweets that we made earlier in the year. Check this out. Who will explain for me to my wonderful son, Baron? Who is a great student at a fantastic school that his
Starting point is 01:30:17 dad will likely not be allowed to attend his graduation? Share with me something that we have been talking about for years because a seriously conflicted and corrupt New York State judge wants me in parental court
Starting point is 01:30:34 on a bogus but in case which according to virtually all legal scholars and pundits has no merit and should never have been brought this fake case This solely meant to accredit But inventing me from proudly attending
Starting point is 01:30:52 My son's graduation seems very unfair Doesn't it? But this whole event is unfair Every one of the many fake cases That are perpetuated by the White House In order to help the worst president in history by far get reelected. Our UN just scams. We won't let that happen.
Starting point is 01:31:15 But we will make America great again. Okay, so that works out. That took you how long to make? 30 seconds. Now listen to this one. I love this one. Another Trump tweet. This conflicted Trump hate judge won't let me respond.
Starting point is 01:31:36 People that all TV like and spew and hate all day long. This is so good. He is running roughshod over my lawyers. John Lee Hooker. This is so good. John Lee Hooker. Or at least be able to respond. Rection interference. Rection interference. Rection interference. Rection interference. Or at least be able to respond. Rection interference.
Starting point is 01:32:17 Rection in constitutional trial. The music, the instrumentation is like almost indestructible. That took me 30 seconds, and that was earlier in the year. Is that Suno? Yeah, it probably has two new versions or five new versions. It's at 3.5 right now. It was at three about a year, half a year ago, something like that. That rock opera song about Barron going to high school or missing the graduation ceremony was so good.
Starting point is 01:32:43 I told Carter, I was like, we should actually flesh that out and make a cartoon of Trump singing this because that's how good the song was. Think about where we're going to be in a year. So two years ago, I used AI to make a picture of Nancy Pelosi, and it looked like a grotesque monster. It was crappy. So I'm looking exactly like her? Now you can make a picture of her, and it looks like a – right. But nowadays, you could just be like, give me a picture ofancy pelosi doing a kickflip and you'll get it everybody remembers now you can make a video saying make a video of nancy pelosi riding a bike and it will make it remember a year
Starting point is 01:33:11 ago the the video of the spaghetti yeah exactly will smith eating spaghetti and it was you know he's eating his hand turned into spaghetti and stuff now it's the the the detail and the the resolution that it comes up with is mind-blowing. In a year, there's not going to be any difference between your 4K actual videos and things that the... I mean, they definitely need some sort of instant detection, some sort of software. How? When it's all developing? Well, here's the thing. When I post on YouTube, but like, so when I post on YouTube, I actually mark it as altered content
Starting point is 01:33:51 just so I don't get in trouble because they did even the exploding goats one. I got a strike from Warner Brothers because Warner Brothers copyright striked me and claimed the video as their own because their bot that crawls YouTube for their content couldn't tell the difference between mine and theirs. I got it back because I was like, it's after like 10 days, but it was mine.
Starting point is 01:34:13 But Twitter, after I want to say 4 million views on the video, put up an altered content. And even with the altered content notification underneath, people were like, is this real? So there's some people who are like hopeless for this stuff. Yeah, I mean, and I understand there's some people that are hopeless, but like everyone's going to be hopeless. Yeah. Because it's going to be indistinguishable.
Starting point is 01:34:37 And the thing that I can't get beyond is like, what is it that AI is going to look for to identify AI versus real? Because at the end of the day, it's just pixels. And the pixels are just... I think the audio might have some markers. Maybe. Because the audio, sometimes when I export the audio, it does sound like a little...
Starting point is 01:34:58 If you really crank it, it sounds a little robotic. In a year? Eventually, yeah. I know. And then you can have donald trump telling all his constituents hey go do something crazy and all it takes is one person and they're gonna claim it's real now so here's what i've been warning about ai is it's not fake videos so uh take donald trump when he said very fine people on both sides but i'm not talking about the neo-nazis
Starting point is 01:35:23 of the white nationalists because they should be condemned totally. The fear is that what happens is that video comes out. The media, what did they immediately do? They said Trump called Nazis very, very fine people. But for someone like, you know, Brandon Strzok or whatever, and he's a former Democrat, he ends up finding the videos where he's like, wait a minute, there was more that transcript. And now Snopes eventually debunks it. Let's say the video came out, but AI existed. Someone would take it, immediately re-render it so that Trump says they were very fine people on both sides. And I'm not talking about the neo-Nazis and white supremacists because some of them should be condemned totally. They changed they to some
Starting point is 01:35:59 of them. You can make a very minor change. You do that in literally four, three seconds. And then what happens is every Democrat would share the sum of them and every Republican would share the they. And then Republicans, but he said, condemn them. And the Democrats would go, some of them, he was saying some were good. And you're like, he didn't say that. He said, they should be condemned. No, he didn't. Here's the video. And then it doesn't matter what's true because they've seen a video. They assert it's true. And it looks like CNN and there's no way to tell the difference. You'd have to go to the source like cnn but if it's a grainy cell phone video of capturing an event then no one knows which one's the original yeah or what if the ai software that flags ai
Starting point is 01:36:33 starts flagging real stuff as and it already does yeah so this is altered we're gonna go we're gonna go to super chat so if you haven't already would you kindly smash that like button subscribe to this channel share the show with everyone you know.

Interesting. Jungle Run says on a hike with my six kids. Welcome to the club, Tim. Thank you very much. Good, sir. I appreciate it. The emperor's champion says, hey, New York Times, I already voted for Trump today.
Starting point is 01:37:37 I can't vote for him more. I'd love to see an end of income taxes. Who would not? I don't know that anybody if you go to a party and everyone's like you hear this, Trump wants to of income taxes. Who would not? I don't know that anybody if you go to a party and everyone's like, you hear this, Trump wants to end income taxes. Who's opposed to that? If you raise your hand, they're going to be like, we can't be friends that we all have our limits. Mike Oxard says Donald John America must win and by a lot go out and vote, even if they try to do election F word again. Aha. And there you go. All right.
Starting point is 01:38:11 Michael Bowers says, my wife is officially a U.S. citizen as of today. Unfortunately, she missed voter sign up, so she can't vote for Trump like she wanted. Drag. Oh, that's unfortunate. Congratulations on being a U.S. citizen now. Let's see. What is this? TurboBastard says, someone I know just got a $3,000 check after working 34 hours of overtime during the two weeks and lost over a thousand to taxes. Well, you vote Donald Trump. He says no taxes on overtime.
Starting point is 01:38:35 Sounds like a pretty good deal. All right. Ultimate Gaming says, please, please shout this out. I'm trying so hard to find a job, but I can't. My wife, my six-month-old daughter, and I are going to be evicted next month. Sorry to hear it, brother. I hope you find some work. Maybe you can make AI videos for Danny.
Starting point is 01:38:55 I don't know. My YouTube channel is fully demonetized. Really? Why? Because I posted some clip from my, I do this podcast, live call-in show called The Bathhouse every Tuesday night, 9 p.m., and and i posted one short even though the whole video was on my channel the whole episode and then i posted one short from the thing the day the unabomber ted kaczynski died and we weren't even like we were just joking and not saying anything pro unabomber nothing
Starting point is 01:39:20 and then they just flagged it and they gave me a strike, demonetized my channel, and then they said it was demonetized for glorifying terrorists or whatever. And then that strike, you can never be remonetized, even though it was my first strike ever. What, really? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:39:37 Wow. So I'm demonetized for life. Jeez. So anyways, not hiring AI guys. Well, that's it. Do it for the love of the game. Faust says, Danny P, boys, boys, boys,
Starting point is 01:39:46 boys, boys, boys, boys. Boys, boys, boys. Is that what you do on the show with Ryan? You say boys the whole time? Yeah, boys, boys, boys, boys. It's the boys cast. That's all you do?
Starting point is 01:39:52 No girls allowed. Just like this. I love this. All boys. No girls allowed. No girls allowed. What is this? Jason Hutchinson says,
Starting point is 01:40:00 obligatory libertarian sound off. Taxation is theft. Taxation is theft. You got to vote for... North Libertarian says, Trump must have heard Dave Smith may taxation is theft. Taxation is theft. You got to vote for. North Libertarian says, Trump must have heard Dave Smith may vote for him. Dave Smith is voting for him. And we did want to get to that, but we didn't end up getting to it.
Starting point is 01:40:13 Dave Smith said he's voting Trump. He posted a video that says, Dave Smith, I'm voting for Donald Trump. Did he say why? Yeah, well, he said he saw Kamala Harris campaigning with Liz Cheney and he went, you deserve to lose. Like, there's a lot of reasons you deserve to lose. But just seeing that, I was disgusted. And the Libertarians hate their candidate. Yeah, he's a gay communist. Yeah, the Libertarians are not pumped with Chase Oliver.
Starting point is 01:40:36 Not at all. Well, they chose him. Yeah, they colluded, apparently. Two of the three challenging parties got behind the scenes and they're like, let's make sure Clint Russell doesn't get it. We'll choose Chase. I moderated the Colorado State Libertarian Convention and
Starting point is 01:40:51 Clint was even one of the... Yeah, he wasn't running for president. He was insane. The whole thing was nuts. Clint's in Miami. Yeah, he was never even running. He was VP. Clint was running for VP. Oh, he was running for VP, I guess. And then Mike Tremont went to Chase Oliver and said, I'll
Starting point is 01:41:07 support you if I'm your VP. I'll tell everyone of my voters to support you, and then we win. And then, otherwise, it was going to be Recktenwald and Clint Russell. But, you know, I'm convinced, my conspiracy theory is that Angela McArdle has organized everything behind the scenes in a large chair with a velvet back
Starting point is 01:41:24 and a cat in her lap, stroking it. One of those psychic things on her head where she's controlling impulses. Sending, you know, she's like sending out letters of instruction to her minions. And it's like, we're going to nominate as a libertarian party, Chis Oliver. Yeah. So the Mises caucus votes Donald Trump and Trump wins and then puts a libertarian in his cabinet. And there will be. I mean, the only funny thing from the moderating their state thing is Mike Tremont actually said,
Starting point is 01:41:45 he's like, we're currently polling at zero. Nobody wants that. He's like, we're polling at zero, so let's say some crazy stuff. They're the worst candidates the Libertarian Party
Starting point is 01:41:55 has ever put up. It's true. Trump said he's going to put a Libertarian in his cabinet, and I doubt it would be Dave Smith, but that would be great. Clint would also be great. I hope so.
Starting point is 01:42:05 They put Dave Smith in and they go, what's this Legion of Skanks podcast? What do they do on there? Shout out to the Skanks. I love them. Tower Gang as well. I think I see Tower Gang represented in the federal government. Pittsburgh says, who is Danny Polish Chuck? I thought today's guest is named Siraj Hajmi.
Starting point is 01:42:24 Oh, I made this video where I took a little shot at Siraj. Oh, why would you do that? He's a very nice guy. No, I love Siraj. I made this video of Hamas thanks to the women of... I hear he's gay. Ah, that's what he says, yeah. I think his wife says that too.
Starting point is 01:42:40 Why is everybody laughing? I love Siraj. All he does is retweet posts about how gay he is. I know. I'm not joking. He does. Well, as far as I know, he has a lovely beard at home and a new child. He's a funny guy. Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 01:42:56 Where are we at? Where are we at? We'll grab a super chat here. Oh, what's this? This is Jacob Stein. Says, Tim, currently in the hospital welcoming our firstborn child. Please shout out Jasper Wade Stein. Also praying for a smooth pregnancy for Allison and your
Starting point is 01:43:08 future child. Many blessings. Thank you very much. Jasper. I appreciate it. You should buy some cigars. Well, I'm not going to smoke them. You have to. Yeah, I can't do it. That's what you do for your child. No way. We're health conscious over here, you know? Insurance won't let us. Is that a better excuse? Okay. You seem so deflated when you say health conscious.
Starting point is 01:43:24 Well, I didn't bring them. Oh, I totally would have, you know. Oh, geez. Oh, no. All right. Strawberry mochi. Very delicious, by the way. The Amish are voting for Trump.
Starting point is 01:43:36 Yeah, it makes sense. Are they really? I don't know, but it would make sense. I saw tons of Amish on the train today. On the train? Yeah, the train over here from New York. Tons of Amish on the trains. Well, there's like a bunch of Amish that live near here. On the train? Yeah, the train over here from New York. Tons of Amish on the trains. Well, there's like a bunch of Amish that live near here.
Starting point is 01:43:48 Yeah, I guess they're coming here. They sell pet milk. I don't know what language they were speaking. Was it Amishian? Maybe. It was not English, that's for sure. It was not any language I had ever heard. Amishies, we call it.
Starting point is 01:43:58 Yeah. Amishies. And one guy had an amazing beard. Maybe they were just speaking Dutch. Yeah, I guess some sort of Dutch something. It's actually German. Did they say anything like Hagenflagen? I overheard it, and I go, it's some variation of something.
Starting point is 01:44:12 Wait, is Hagenflagen German or Swedish? Swedish, I think. Swedish? It's more Swedish. Yeah, it's Swedish gibberish. Swedish gibberish, yeah. It's like there's the chef on. They call it Dutch.
Starting point is 01:44:21 What do you actually say? Muppets. Ergen flergen? Swedish gibberish. Alright, what is this? Paul Grams says it's not fair to call Kamala a potato. At least a potato provides value and is useful. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 01:44:35 You can make a whole lot of potatoes. That's true. You can. War Machine says they've called Trump Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini. I bet they call him Sauron before this is over. Mark me. They voldemort too yeah sauron yeah but they're not they're not savvy on the lord of the rings they get harry potter because it's like you know children's lord of the rings you know what i mean yeah seamus had a really funny idea i don't know if i'm gonna ruin his joke by saying but i'm gonna say it anyway it was a bit where it's uh
Starting point is 01:45:02 harry potter becomes a right-wing grifter. So he renounces witchcraft and becomes Christian. And he goes on all these talk shows where he's talking about how witchcraft is real and it's bad. And he's no longer doing witchcraft. That's pretty good. He becomes a right-wing. All right. What do we got?
Starting point is 01:45:18 What do we got? We'll grab some more of these super jets. They could call them. Sane says, insane clown posse endorsed Kamala. Oh, really? Nasty. That's a letdown, man. You know that one song they had in the 90s? Yeah, I remember they had one song.
Starting point is 01:45:33 Yeah, I just saw they opened. They were the surprise guests at Skankfest this year, and they opened up Skankfest. Did they really? Yeah. Like a little private concert. I thought they were based. I thought they were too.
Starting point is 01:45:43 That was surprising. They might be doing like Costanza. They're doing the opposite. What if like they endorse Kamala and then get invited to do an event for her, but then come out and be like, yo, we were kidding, dude. Trump, Trump, Trump.
Starting point is 01:45:53 Oh no, that'd be awesome. That'd be great. All right. Ryan Sarge says, want to talk about scrubbed from the internet? Try Googling DOD 524 0.01 section 3, subsection 3, Article C. Joe Biden and Kamala made the law for the president to be able to use military and citizen.
Starting point is 01:46:11 We did talk about that the other day. We talked about that last night. It's been popping up all week. Yep. Mr. Nice Bobby says, cheers from Brazil where voting is mandatory. Who would win, in your opinion, if voting was mandatory in the U.S.? Kamala Harris. No question.
Starting point is 01:46:24 Oh, yeah. Because you'd get a bunch of people who are like, don't know a guy on tv said kamala yeah i like my abortions that's not even that most people if compelled to vote would just be like i don't know yeah but beep they'd be like although i don't know trump is a celebrity they might be like yeah trump yeah it's a tough i mean it is crazy that it's just like basically half the country goes one way half the country goes the other there's not much daylight it's too crazy for me i don't trust that i don't think we need we need a landslide we need uh i don't mean like an electoral college i mean we need to sweep we need trump to win the popular vote the electoral college the house the senate etc so that way we can totally
Starting point is 01:47:04 rebuke wokeism. Yep. That's what we need. I mean, that's what it will be if that's what happens. Yeah. Because the message went to be sent to these people that not only do you lose money, but your ideas are not popular with the with the American people and you're on the wrong side of history.
Starting point is 01:47:18 Yeah. Mm hmm. All right. Squanchy says, I love watching your shows. Big fan of the morning show, but Monday and Thursday and Sundays are for football. Sorry, brother. Well, you know, football. There was a really funny thing I was watching on Fox and Friends where Lawrence, their morning host, goes to a barbershop.
Starting point is 01:47:38 And he's asking this black dude, like, he's asking a bunch of black dudes at barbershops about who they're voting for and why. And he asked one, he's like, what do you think is the most important issue? And the guy goes, sports. He's like, I'm kidding. But, you know, he's not. Most people don't care, and they're probably talking about sports. Oh, yeah. If you could vote at, like, a football game.
Starting point is 01:47:56 Oh, that'd be weird. I used to watch so much sports. So much football. Did you ever go through a phase like that? Are you in a phase like that? I don't watch a – I watch – They watch soccer in Canada. Hockey?
Starting point is 01:48:06 Go Leafs! I almost wore my Toronto Maple Leafs jersey, but then I went from my – No, no, soccer. Went from my American jersey. We play hockey here. We're really good at it, and Canada just tries. Americans actually are really good at it. I think the Olympics, the next Olympics, the NHL players haven't been allowed to play for a while because of contract stuff.
Starting point is 01:48:23 So it's been all non-pros, but the pros are coming. I think the Americans are going to win. Really? Is Canada going to get angry? They're not going to like it, but the Maple Leafs' best player, Austin Matthews, is American. Is hockey the Canadian sport because you guys basically live in blocks of ice? Yes.
Starting point is 01:48:40 We have sheets, but there is just like... Are you excited for global warming because Canada's going to be... I live in New York, yeah. I'll take... I mean, I don't live in sheets, but there is just like, are you excited for global warming? Cause Canada is going to be, I live in New York. Yeah. I'll take, I mean, I'm not, I don't live in Canada, but did you flee Canada because it was too cold? Uh, no, just the entertainment industry sucks. Oh no.
Starting point is 01:48:53 I heard that 90% of Canadians live within like 50 miles. Yeah. Yeah. Something like that. You're going to say kilometers. I think it's kilometers of the U S might be miles, 50 miles of the U S. Did you see that? Did you see that SNL skit about...
Starting point is 01:49:05 Yeah, Nate, with Nate Bargatze. Is that who that was, when he's talking about the metric measuring system? I mean, metric system rules. Dude, that was so good. Honestly, I know this is unpopular. I've lost the U's in all the words I write. I don't write flavor with a U, none of color. What about metric time?
Starting point is 01:49:21 Do you use that? I don't... 80 past 70. Metric time, no, but man, I like a good kilometer. That's a Simpsons joke. I'm just stealing it. I have no jokes. It's just Family Guy or Simpsons.
Starting point is 01:49:33 Anybody who knows these things is like, yep, Tim watched TV in the 90s. Me too, man. That's also another Family Guy joke, by the way. All right. Players. Let's see. What is this? Polly Pire says, the best way to vote was voting machines not connected to the internet.
Starting point is 01:49:47 Least amount of fraud. Disagree. There was a guy who did a thing where he popped out a drive or whatever and flipped it. Like, I forgot what it was. He put something in. He put a USB, it wasn't a USB, or a memory card, or he popped it open and he put data in it and then it flipped the votes.
Starting point is 01:50:02 For sure, they can be compromised. Anything that has a motherboard, there's a way to paper ballots with poll watchers at each location and when they're counted you have every single person watching and all agreeing the votes being counted that's it yeah seems reasonable decentralized let's grab some more super chats what have we here let's see john i can't i'm not gonna read your last name it's too long sorry humans will always find a way to f something up november 5th i thought election day was christmas eve when did they change it was it ever christmas eve not that i'm. Yeah, the Constitution says it's like the first Tuesday of November or something, doesn't it? You want to look it up?
Starting point is 01:50:48 I'm not sure. It's something like that. As far as I know, I don't know if it's in the Constitution. It absolutely is. It's just the first Tuesday of November. The Constitution says there will be a single day for the election to be held on the—I think it's the first Tuesday of November or whatever. Is that what it is? It must be because it's the first Tuesday of November.
Starting point is 01:51:05 It would be crazy if it says something different. But it might be. It's a scandal. And it's not the 5th because the date changes. Yeah, it can't be the 5th. I'm looking here. Am I going to find it faster than you? Maybe. I don't find it the fastest.
Starting point is 01:51:24 Statutorial set by the U.S. government as the Tuesday next after the first Monday in November. Ah. Oh. Okay. So not the second Tuesday necessarily. And is this a... This was an amendment that did this or this was
Starting point is 01:51:39 the original? I'm not sure. Tuesday after the first Monday. Tuesday after the first Monday. media tuesday after the first monday so could they come up with that so i guess they cut because of as late as the eighth because if the month starts on tuesday it will not be that day yeah it will then wait a week until the next tuesday and everybody's gonna pay rent that day nobody wants to go vote and also the the reason they set it up like that is because because you have to have time to do the harvest and then go and vote. Right.
Starting point is 01:52:07 Because it was done. Because they were farmers. Okay. That's crazy, yeah. All right. What do we hear? Oferuk says, serialize the ballots, put serial numbers on them. Per state, if they can serialize our money, then do the same to ballots.
Starting point is 01:52:23 Don't they? They don't do that? I don't think so. Even still, if they're not, if they're serialized, like they're not tied to a person. Gigi Will says, my mail-in vote in San Diego came with a code so I can check my vote count on the website. I just say no mail-in voting. You have to vote in person. Ballots are blank. That's it. And you know, one problem with being able to verify on a website is that it might say one thing on the website but be counted as something different.
Starting point is 01:52:48 So you really need a verification through somehow if you're going to do that. All right. Let's see what we got. Where are we at with some of the super chats? Okay.
Starting point is 01:53:01 Katoth, is that how you pronounce it? I find it amusing we could call elections on the day in the 80s, and now 40-plus years later, it's somehow impossible to call the election on the day of. Oh, that is so ridiculous.
Starting point is 01:53:11 He's right. That is so not real. I mean, a country like Brazil, they have, what, 200 million people? They do it. No, I think it's like 60. Brazil's 60? Yeah, I don't think Brazil has 200 million people. Brazil is huge.
Starting point is 01:53:23 It is huge. I don't think they have that many people. I thought it was up there. 60? What is it million. Brazil is huge. It is huge. I don't think they have that many people. I thought it was up there. 60? What is it? I use AI now. It's awesome. It's like 190 or something.
Starting point is 01:53:31 211 million. Whoa, really? I'm pretty sure they call it almost 312. There you go. I'm pretty sure they call it data. And more votes. I'm not going to stand corrected, actually. I'm just going to say that both of your fact checks are wrong.
Starting point is 01:53:45 AI is wrong and Danny is wrong. And I'm just going to choose to be right. Yeah, that's fine. $60 million, that's it. $60 million. That's it. It's proof. You hear that, Brazil?
Starting point is 01:53:52 I'm pretty sure Rio is like $60 million. All right. Rodeo Hamster says, Phil, I saw All That Remains open for Megadeth in Cincinnati. You guys went so effing hard. I loved it. Thank you. I bought your shirt there, too. Appreciate it.
Starting point is 01:54:03 Thank you very much. You came back with beast energy. Well, I appreciate that. I love it, too. Thank you. I bought your shirt there, too. Appreciate it. Thank you very much. You came back with beast energy. Well, I appreciate that. Oh, I love it, too. Thank you. All right. Code Monkey says, Ian, you're killing me with the free the code BS. You can have all of the cleanest and fairest code you want.
Starting point is 01:54:15 All I need is root level cron job script with access to the results DB, and I can obfuscate TF out of the script. Ask me how I know. He's implying that he's done it. Are you implying that you've done that? Yes. There's no perfect answer, that's for sure, but it's more secure than paper ballots. What's your plan?
Starting point is 01:54:39 You're just like, it's more secure than paper ballots. So what's your plan? Well, the plan was paper ballots. It's less secure. I want more secure. I don't know that you can... Democrats want less secure. And I don't know that you can actually get more secure if it's computerized.
Starting point is 01:54:54 It's just... Blockchain. Blockchain is... Oh, this is important. Mark Prior says, Hi, guys, I'm Amish. I'm sorry. He says,
Starting point is 01:55:01 Hi, guys, the Amish speak an older version of German. The word for German in German is Deutsch. Misheard by English settlers sounds like Dutch, hence Pennsylvania Dutch. Gotcha. I was trying to tell you guys. I thought he was saying he's Amish. I'm like, you can't be on YouTube right now. They can. Can they? Bro, have you ever, you've never gone to Amish
Starting point is 01:55:18 country? I have when I was, I went to Pennsylvania Amish country when I was like 12. Yeah, you go to the supermarkets? No, they were all, they were all, we went, we shot like the show. We shot like the show Amish where they didn't have any of this stuff. There are, there Pennsylvania Amish country when I was like 12. Yeah, you go to the supermarkets. No, they were all, they were all, we went, we shot like the show. There's lights. We shot like the show Amish where they didn't have any of this stuff. There are, there's Amish people down the road and they're in a building with refrigerators and on their phones.
Starting point is 01:55:33 And I don't, I don't know. People just make assumptions about what Amish people do. I thought that was their whole deal. Do they drive cars too? Yeah. I don't know how they would, how do they get deliveries? Well, in the Amish, like in the Pennsylvania, they all have the horse and barrel. Oh no, they definitely do. Because when we would go to the farm stand,
Starting point is 01:55:47 they'd drive up to drop off the meats and stuff. So are they like Jewish? Yeah, I was going to say they're Amish like I'm Jewish. Okay. No, they're Amish and they wear little bonnets and stuff like that. I think it's just the TV that convinces people that Amish people don't use technology or whatever. I thought they're not allowed to. Yeah, see, exactly.
Starting point is 01:56:05 It's probably just a movie or something. Well, look it up. No, no, no. I definitely went to Amish country in Pennsylvania when I was 12, and they were doing none of it. But maybe that's just the tourism show thing. Yeah, maybe. We make money.
Starting point is 01:56:14 Maybe. Because there's, like in Maryland, there's a big Amish shopping center. Oh. And it's like all the kids are in uniform. Apparently there's old order Amish. They generally reject public grid electricity, but then there's new order Amish that are in uniform. Apparently there's old order Amish. They generally reject public grid electricity, but then there's new order Amish that are more... Yeah, there's a bunch of kids.
Starting point is 01:56:29 They're wearing little Amish outfits with bonnets and stuff. Yeah, they're all wearing the bonnets. And the little boys are wearing little button-ups and suits, or pants or whatever. I saw them. But you walk in, and there's computers, and there's cars, and you buy food, and they farm and stuff. But they say that even the old order Amish
Starting point is 01:56:42 generally will have alternate power sources. They're just not tied to the grid. Like generators, propane, solar panels, wind power. And they're probably just a lot happier all the time. Wow, they're just off grid. That's cool. I bet their lives are... You know what?
Starting point is 01:56:55 I actually was thinking that in the train station day when I was waiting for the train. I saw the Amish and everybody was on their phones and they were all just talking to each other. Were they? Yeah, I don't know. You know what? I can give you one reason why I guarantee they're happier than people other people on
Starting point is 01:57:08 average and it's because they have chickens yeah i'm not kidding yeah there's that there's that meme i told you about where guys like my neighbors got chickens and then they woke me up in the morning and they were doing weird little chicken things and making chicken noises and i just started laughing and now i feel good and my days are better because i wake up thank you chickens it's like bro you can't be depressed while you're looking at chickens. You're lying to yourself when you do.
Starting point is 01:57:28 Only that they're in cages. Like, it's sad. But you can let them out and they can walk around. You just got to make sure you keep the bad ones away, like the coyotes and stuff. But like, if you're sad,
Starting point is 01:57:37 down, or feeling depressed or whatever, and you look at chickens, like, you're going to laugh. They're such dumb little... Chase after them and they don't run that fast. I think we should turn that
Starting point is 01:57:44 into a song on the after show. Let's do it. Chickens will make to laugh. They're chased after them and they don't run that fast. I think we should turn that into a song on the after show. Let's do it. Chickens will make you laugh. I wrote a Chicken City song. That was a good one. Yeah. And then we'll make a music video of Danny singing it. Yes.
