	How are you doing, Cassidy?
	It's awesome to have you on, man.
	I'm doing good.
	Yourself?
	I'm doing well.
	So I have a guy's night with my neighbor, Brett, every Thursday and a couple other neighbors.
	And it usually devolves into watching YouTube videos.
	And that's how I found you.
	My buddy Brett was like, have you seen this fucking guy that goes to these city council meetings?
	Yeah.
	We were just dying laughing a few months ago.
	And I saw you on Twitter.
	I was like, holy shit, I'll just DM him and see if you see if we'll come on.
	So thanks for doing that, dude.
	Yeah, no problem.
	I actually didn't even want to make a Twitter.
	And my friend talked me into it.
	And then, I mean, I guess it worked out pretty well.
	Yeah.
	When did you start it?
	Like two months ago.
	Wow, man, you're blowing up there.
	No, I know.
	It was insane.
	It was like literally instant.
	Yeah.
	So is it just because you have so many subscribers on YouTube?
	Or like, did you push it all?
	No, organically?
	Well, my YouTube literally had nothing to do with it because like most of the people, a lot of the people on YouTube, they don't even go on Twitter like that.
	Same with Instagram.
	It's like totally different people.
	So I found that.
	I found that the two easiest platforms to grow on are Twitter and TikTok.
	Yeah, exactly.
	I've had a really hard time with YouTube subscribers, man.
	It's taken me forever.
	Well, YouTube's difficult because you have to make longer videos, number one.
	And now it's even more difficult to grow on YouTube just because of how screwed up the algorithm is.
	But as far as like Twitter is good, because actually a lot of the people from Twitter, they'll go subscribe to the YouTube channel versus like on TikTok does nothing.
	Because I've gotten millions of views on TikTok.
	It does nothing for the YouTube.
	Yeah, I haven't had millions of views, but I just kind of started taking it seriously.
	But I have had hundreds of thousands.
	And it's amazing how easy it is to experience that virality on TikTok without any followers.
	It's like, that's basically the saving grace of the platform.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Because now these other platforms, you know, like YouTube and what's it called?
	Instagram.
	There's so many people on there that it's hard to grow as much in their algorithm.
	They keep changing their algorithm.
	Yeah.
	So do you think that it's, do you think that there's actually like shadow banning going on or do you think that people just suck at making interesting content?
	They're like, no, I mean, there's some people that suck at it and there's some people that actually get shadow banned.
	So yeah, it's real.
	You know, it's not some conspiracy theory.
	It's literally real.
	It's like, why can't you even search these people up and find them?
	Like you have to literally search somebody's full name on Instagram to find them.
	Yeah, no, I'll have four digits of their social.
	Oh, here they are.
	Yeah, exactly.
	So how is it that, have you had, have you ever had any YouTube strikes in your account?
	Because I couldn't believe that.
	Really?
	But these were for something like completely different.
	It was like a long time ago.
	I did this like prank where I had these fake balls and they were, yeah, it was like at the election polls, the voting, the voting polls.
	This was like 2020 election.
	And I was doing that.
	And I mean, like, I wouldn't do content like that again, but at the time, you know, it was, it was funny to me.
	So, and the reactions, but still, like, you know, they said that it was, you know, I have my genitals out or whatever.
	Like, no, it's clear.
	It's like, it's, you clearly tell it's not, but whatever.
	Yeah.
	You got genitals.
	And then I got one.
	No, then I got one for doing the, I used to like do these videos catching child predators.
	And were they real?
	Anyways.
	Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	So you would, you'd bet him?
	Yeah, I would use like the account on whatever dating app.
	And it was all gay people too.
	That's the thing.
	They're all gay.
	So anyways, yeah, so they're actually still up on YouTube, not on my channel, but people re-uploaded them.
	I'll probably cut them down a little and put them on Twitter.
	But I mean, they were like insanely earlier.
	This like eight to ten million views like on those sick.
	And then like, then after a while, like, I think that's when YouTube shadow banned me or something.
	And then they started getting less views.
	So yeah, those got a strike because they said bullying harassment.
	You can't harass the predators.
	Oh my God.
	That is so ridiculous.
	But literally to catch a predator was on cable TV for like 20 years or something, right?
	So it was okay for like public broadcast cable TV, the same exact approach.
	But then if you did, if you do it on your YouTube channel, like I went more, I went way more hard on them, dude.
	I would scream and I would scream in their face and stuff.
	Oh my god, what is it new?
	Like, well, do you remember one in particular?
	Like, did they just cry or what?
	Like, they were so scared because they thought, because I would dress up as this redneck cowboy and go do it.
	And, dude, they, yeah, I mean, they were scared, dude.
	I mean, it was good.
	It was good.
	People loved it.
	And it was like, it was good content.
	It was like doing a good cause, a good cause, you know?
	And yeah, it's great to win.
	It's a win-win.
	Exactly.
	YouTube doesn't like that.
	We got to be nice to the pedophiles.
	We got to respect them.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Well, you know, they're just, they're minor attracted persons.
	Maps.
	It's just normal.
	Yeah.
	It's a sexual orientation.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	I can't, I can't believe it.
	LGBTQ plus maps.
	So did you like decide I want to be a social media like influencer?
	I want to like just get as many followers as possible and then start making content or were you just like goofing around with your buddies doing pranks and then it just like blew up?
	I would just watch pranks back in the day and then I just kind of started doing them for fun and then it eventually blew up.
	Have you ever been clocked doing it?
	No, I mean, I never do anything to I've never done anything to that extent.
	Like I know like when I should stop.
	Yeah, you can you can sense the line.
	Especially now I've kind of like changed.
	I mean, I've changed a lot.
	So like I've changed up my content.
	I don't, you know, I kind of, I want to do something that's like beneficial.
	Actually, you know, the pranks, a lot of the pranks are just stupid.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	So you're trying to figure out a way to like leverage it so that you can also have like an impact.
	Yeah.
	So, I mean, like with what I've been doing and I'd rather do things for like giveaways and stuff like that as well.
	Oh, your camera's frozen.
	No, I'm just holding really still.
	Am I moving now?
	No.
	No.
	Well, you look good.
	I look good.
	I think we're going to be okay.
	Okay.
	On my end, it looks like it's all right.
	I don't know.
	Can you hear me?
	Okay, I take it.
	Well, yeah.
	I would just rather do something that actually has more of an impact.
	And plus, like, just doing the same thing for five years, it gets old, man.
	It gets so old.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	So, like, did you, when you started doing it, were you like, all right, this is going to be like my side hustle?
	I'm going to make money off of it.
	Or did it like wind up becoming a like a job where it felt like it was you were going to work every time you were going to do these things?
	No, I mean, I, I mean, I wanted to make money off of it.
	I didn't know if I was going to, but then I, it, it worked out.
	And then, I mean, it's, it's not even like it's work sometimes because I enjoy it.
	But I mean, I feel like if I'm overdoing it and like start stressing about, oh, I need to get these videos.
	I need to get these videos.
	And it becomes like work and it's like not even fun anymore.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	I've tried to strike that balance too with this podcast.
	Like when I started this podcast a year ago, I was doing an episode like every day for a couple of months, every couple of days.
	Oh my gosh.
	And it's, it's easy to burn out.
	So now I just like, I do one when I feel like it.
	And that's the ticket.
	But I don't know, man.
	Like I have such mixed feelings about it because I'm the same way as you.
	Like I want to make content and I want it to like have an impact.
	But at the same time, it's like I could invest money and time into these platforms.
	And then like by the flip of a switch, they could just say, bye, you know.
	Yeah, exactly.
	I mean, that's why you got to kind of be on every single platform, at least like, you know, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and I'd say Facebook too.
	But Facebook's so difficult, man.
	Now, like, I have a pretty good Facebook following, but dude, they are just, they're just, it's just terrible, the algorithm on there, man.
	My problem with Facebook is like, I don't want to alienate the people I know.
	Like, I'm totally over.
	Oh, I mean, like, I mean, no, not on, not like that, but like an actual Facebook page.
	Yeah, yeah.
	But like, even then, even if you have millions of followers on your Facebook page, if you post without boosting it, it's not, it's not going to get the reach.
	No, no, I mean, like a few years ago, it could, but now it's just, yeah, they want people to pay for that reach.
	That's it.
	Right.
	So you might as well just have no followers and pay for ads to begin with, you know?
	Yeah.
	But Instagram is, man, Instagram and YouTube are really hard to grow.
	And I've hard to, I don't know what it is.
	Like, I must be doing something wrong.
	I've even tried taking classes online to like figure out like hashtag approaches and stuff.
	And it's just so hard because by the time you do the course, like the algorithm changed, just like you said.
	So that's a little, it was a little bit like a lost cause in that sense.
	But I think it's because like there's not like a retweet feature.
	So it's just so much more difficult to go viral on that platform.
	I haven't figured out how it works.
	Yeah.
	No, it is difficult.
	I mean, it helped me a lot when I got shared from other big pages.
	Yeah.
	Like DC Drano and, man, I can't remember the, I mean, there's a couple other pages that shared me, but that helped a lot.
	But as far as like just getting viral on your own on Instagram, that is hard.
	Yeah.
	But it seems to be, it seems to still like be the moneymaker for Facebook.
	I think that I think that they're on their way out in terms of Facebook just because the demographic on there is so much older.
	But like, don't you think it's a shame, man?
	I don't know if you remember.
	I think it says, I was looking you up.
	You're born in 92.
	So you must remember 10 years ago when Facebook was awesome.
	Do you remember that?
	Or was that like a little bit before your time?
	No, yeah, yeah.
	I used Facebook all the time.
	And, you know, I didn't really use Instagram.
	But yeah, now Facebook is just a bunch of old boomers, it seems like.
	Yeah.
	What I am, I mean, I just remember being in college and like, like, it was just like the movie Social Network.
	Like you used it to check out girls that you were interested in.
	And like, I don't know.
	It was just, it was actually a social network.
	And now it just feels like Ad Central and like neighborhood groups.
	And not affordable.
	Yeah.
	I don't know.
	I don't know what they did.
	Do you think they're going to ruin Instagram the same way?
	No.
	No.
	I don't think so.
	It's just like it's just a completely different crowd on Instagram.
	Yeah, I don't think so.
	Yeah.
	So do you think do you think that we're going to be able to solve the censorship problem?
	No.
	No.
	It's just over, huh?
	No, it's going to get worse, I think.
	So.
	Yeah.
	Have you been following the World Economic Forum stuff?
	I've looked at some of it.
	I mean, I already know.
	Like, I don't need to dig that.
	Like, I don't need to check on it all the time.
	Like, I already know what's happening.
	I know what's going on.
	It's just like, why even damage myself even more?
	You know, I already know.
	Yeah, it's like, well, I don't need to see every little thing they're doing.
	I know exactly like, yeah, they're evil.
	They're doing this and that.
	And, you know, it's like watching the news every day.
	Like, why would you do that?
	Why would you do that to yourself?
	Yeah.
	Well, it's not really a very good use of time either.
	Like, you should worry about the stuff that's like within your circle of influence, right?
	Like the seven habits of highly effective people.
	Wait, like what?
	Did you ever read that Stephen Covey book, Seven Habits, Highly Effective People?
	No, I didn't.
	It's like a, it was like one of the first famous self-help books from 50 or 60 years ago.
	And one of the, one of the habits is about your circle of influence.
	So like, don't worry about the, don't worry about the shit that's out of your control.
	Just worry about the stuff that you can do.
	Yeah, no, that's, that's very true.
	And, you know, I feel like I have some, you know, control of, you know, like when I make those videos and stuff, I can, you know, help people and, you know, make, at least make people laugh, wake some people up.
	But in the end, you know, like, there's only so much we can do.
	So like, why just keep worrying about it?
	Yeah, I will.
	And it's one thing to just sit and like worry and stew.
	My grandmother used to do that in the nursing house because they would just like, you know, they would just roll Fox 24-7 into her room.
	So she's like panicking and she can barely walk and like knows all the world's problems.
	Yeah, right.
	And I, um, but like, on the other hand, you, you don't want to like miss that kernel of opportunity where you can make a difference, right?
	Like, if you, if you stare, if you look at a Rubik's Cube long enough, you're going to be, you're going to figure out how to do it without having to look at, look it up.
	Yeah.
	You're just, you know, and so like, I don't, maybe that's why I'm like so obsessed with politics.
	I'm not like a news junkie, but I am like obsessed with like all the shit that's going on right now, just because I feel, I'm just, I feel so offended at the audacity of what's happening.
	And I can't stop staring at it because I'm just like trying to find like a weakness.
	Like, what can I do here?
	What can I do there?
	You know, and I, I don't know.
	I feel like the ocean on a stone, but look, if you're not, if you're not tweeting every five seconds about it, like you're not doing anything.
	Do something, okay?
	No, but seriously, it's like, yeah, like, yeah, if you're going to go actually do something about it, like, then, yeah, that's good.
	But if you're just going to sit there and like worry about it, it doesn't do anything.
	Yeah.
	You know why?
	And you know why, like these crazy leftists and these LGBTQ freaks, you know why they've gotten so far is because they actually go out and they push, push, push, push, push.
	And, you know, and these, you know, a lot of these Christian conservatives, they just let them have, they just give them that.
	They just give it to them.
	They just give it to them.
	You keep backing up.
	They keep backing up because they're scared.
	Yeah.
	It's like this, it's the slow retreat and then all of a sudden you're on the edge of the cliff.
	That's what's happening right now.
	So they can, they can thank themselves.
	Because here's, here's the thing.
	They're like, yeah, you know, it just doesn't affect me.
	So I don't care.
	Oh, really?
	It's not affecting you right now?
	Yeah.
	But I wonder, you know, but I wonder, because if you were to just watch the news and listen to the critical theorists that are running all of our institutions, you would think that there's like 17 people that think remotely close to either you or I, you or me.
	Yeah, right.
	Yeah.
	When it's the opposite.
	Yeah, I think that like 80% of America, I mean, not, I'm not saying 80% of Americans voted for Trump, but I think like 80% of America is like, this is some bullshit going on right now.
	Like there's, there's no way that more than 20% of people in the United States support Joe Biden.
	And that's with 10% of the population having an IQ of less than 85.
	Yeah.
	No, I think a lot of people think like us, but obviously, yeah, like you said, they don't ever show that.
	So there's that.
	But the thing is, most people are scared to do anything.
	They're scared to speak out because I'm going to lose my job or whatever.
	Yeah.
	Well, there's definitely some truth to that.
	But like, if you look at U.S. history, the only time that actual political change has happened has been through civil disobedience.
	Like whether it's suffrage, whether it's civil rights, whether it's pulling out of Vietnam.
	It took people just saying, lock me up.
	I'm not doing it.
	Yeah.
	You know, exactly.
	And it doesn't have to be violent.
	You just don't obey.
	Like, it's just that.
	Exactly.
	Like, like during COVID, I didn't wear a mask.
	I didn't get the vaccine.
	Oh, my God.
	I still stayed in.
	You're still with us.
	I didn't stay in my house.
	I'm surprised.
	I'm alive.
	It's crazy, right?
	And I was sure one of my exes would die at least.
	Yeah.
	So, I mean, I didn't do any of that stuff.
	I'm here.
	Like, dude, and now they're with the whole monkeypox thing trying to scare everybody.
	It's just so funny.
	It's just a bunch of monkey business, dude.
	Yeah.
	And that's racist.
	The monkey pox is racist.
	Where's the whole, where does the whole monkey race thing even come from?
	Dude, I don't know.
	All right.
	Let's do a white one.
	What animal would we be?
	Wow.
	A white one.
	I've never heard a white person like compared to an animal.
	Right.
	Like is a hockey an animal?
	Is it similar to a donkey?
	No, I have no idea.
	Is there an animal that's always albino?
	What, a polar bear?
	I don't is white.
	A polar bear is white.
	Yeah.
	I don't know, man.
	Polar bear is a new racial slur.
	Yep.
	So what are you, what are you working on these days?
	Just making content?
	Yeah, pretty much.
	Just making content.
	Trying to not go insane.
	You turn 30 this year?
	Yeah, I just turned 30.
	Oh, congratulations, man.
	Yeah, I made it this far.
	Yeah, man, just making content, trying to just enjoy life.
	And I mean, that's really about it.
	Just trying to do whatever I can to, you know, keep busy and stay out of trouble.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	So are you in Texas?
	Because I saw you with Alex Jones recently.
	Yeah, I'm in North Texas.
	Okay, cool.
	Cool.
	I got a buddy that lives up in Paris, Texas.
	He has the best beef I've ever tasted.
	Yeah, North Texas is the best, man.
	I like it up there, man.
	My wife, when I convinced my wife to move to Texas, she agreed, but she said that she wanted to live in a city.
	Oh my gosh.
	No, don't live in a city.
	I tell you what, living in Austin, Texas is better than anywhere in California, though.
	Yeah, but you don't want to live in Austin.
	That's a liberal crap hole.
	Yeah, but every time they pass a liberal law, the governor shuts it down.
	Seems like.
	So better a blue city and a red state than a red city and a blue state, man.
	Suit yourself, man.
	I would go to North Texas, though.
	Yeah, I'd like to, one day if I have any money, I'd like to buy some property up there.
	Yeah, I mean, it's going to be cheaper here than most places.
	So, I mean, Florida is super expensive and it's not what you think it is either.
	Depends on where you go.
	It's just, it's just crappy because the air and the heat and just the constant rain and rising ocean levels.
	No, I mean, that's a good way.
	That was a good way for them to scare people so they can just get your money.
	What do you mean, with the climate change stuff?
	Yeah.
	How do they get my money?
	Taxes.
	Yeah.
	Oh, you mean, yeah, for the more taxes for that.
	We need tax, pay higher taxes for that.
	We need to pay higher taxes for the Ukraine.
	We need to pay higher.
	Man, dude, they're literally criminals making the laws.
	It's great.
	Yep.
	Yep.
	We're being betrayed every single day by both the right and the left.
	No, exactly.
	That's what I've been doing.
	In the last five years, if I learned anything, it's just, it's that there's just one party and one of them says some things that I like sometimes, but they never ever do the thing that they say they're going to do.
	Exactly.
	They never say it.
	You know who only does what they say they're going to do?
	Yeah.
	God.
	God always does what he says he's going to do.
	Not these garbage, scumbag political leaders.
	You know, and it's just a big WWE match.
	That's all it is.
	All these people are in bed together.
	You see Ted Cruz playing basketball with Jimmy Kimmel and what's his face?
	Dan Crenshaw.
	You know who that is, right?
	Yeah.
	That guy is terrible, man.
	I know.
	Dude, he's literally part of the World Economic Forum.
	Then there's a video of him saying, I just don't know much about it.
	It's just like, it's an organization like it doesn't have any power.
	I was like, wait.
	He is so myopic.
	Dude, he's retarded.
	He said they don't have any power.
	Meanwhile, the most powerful people meet there.
	Yeah, they don't have any power.
	I'm going to fly 14 hours to go to one of their meetings.
	Yeah, just it's it's meaningless.
	They have no power.
	But you know, well, what's what's creepy to me about it is if you look up Klaus Schwab, it is almost impossible to find any substantial like background on him.
	Yeah.
	I don't think he actually personally has a lot of money.
	So it's like, what is going on here?
	How is this his family, dude?
	His family, he's a Rothschild.
	He is for real?
	Yeah.
	And it's funny if you type it in, like Klaus Schwab family or whatever, the first things that come up is like, fact check, he's not a Rothschild.
	He's not.
	He's not.
	It's like that, that should tell you all by itself that he is because his mom is a Rothschild and he's married to a Rothschild.
	So he's incestuous.
	Yes.
	So I've never actually spent any time looking into the Rothschild conspiracies.
	I know that it's like this massive conglomeration of power and banking, right?
	Or something?
	But the fact that they control the control the Fed.
	Do they own it?
	I mean, yeah, they literally have full control over the Fed.
	Wow.
	Yeah.
	If you could have control over the Fed, would you even want to?
	Would I want to?
	I would just shut it down.
	Yeah.
	What do you think would happen if we did that right away?
	Would it be like somebody dead?
	Like John F. Kennedy.
	He tried.
	He ended up dead.
	Yeah, I think that they, I think the CIA killed him because he tried to shut down.
	No, don't ever say that the government would never do something like that.
	They don't ever do anything bad.
	You know what's funny?
	Especially too, because if you ever say like, oh, well, the shooting at the school today was done by the government.
	And somebody's like, how dare you say that?
	Kids were dead.
	Wait, the government would never kill kids?
	They would never like have anything to do with that.
	They only, you know, they've tried to force everybody to take this.
	What's it called?
	This, my gosh.
	I'm trying to think of the word.
	Basically, the oh my gosh.
	I cannot think of the word right now.
	But anyways, I mean, dude, they've done tons of other things before.
	You know, they've experimented with radiation on people.
	They've, you know, the 9-11, the Vegas shooting.
	Oh, an experimental drug, the vaccine.
	They're trying to force people to take that.
	But hey, you know, they never do anything like that.
	So I got an interesting story for you.
	I have type A hemophilia, the bleeding disorder.
	Are you familiar at all with hemophilia?
	Basically, my blood doesn't clot.
	So I like bruise easy and I bleed like internally all the time.
	And if I don't have my medicine, my life expectancy is like 11 years and I'm just like a crippled, achy mess, like dead.
	And anyway, in the 80s, they started making like this synthetic protein that my DNA doesn't make to clot.
	They started making the synthetic version of it for hemophiliacs to inject so they could live.
	And they knew that the blood they were using to make the medicine was contaminated with hepatitis and HIV.
	And they didn't tell the parents.
	And 10,000 hemophiliacs died in the 80s given medicine from their parents.
	So when this whole COVID thing started, regardless of what anybody thinks about anything specific, I was not adamant to trust the pharmaceutical big pharma.
	Yeah, of course not.
	And that was just like, that was just like 40 years ago.
	I mean, like, we like to think that like, oh man, everything's been so great since the Renaissance.
	Like, you know, before everything was crazy, but like ever since the Renaissance, you know, everything's been, you know, really, you know, civilized.
	But it's, it's the same shit, man.
	Yeah.
	No, it's always, it's always going to be that way, dude.
	So you can't trust these guys.
	But then it's like, oh, if you don't take it, you're a terrible person.
	And it's so funny when people would take pictures, pictures and videos of them getting the vaccine.
	It's like, what is wrong with you?
	Are you like that stupid?
	Yeah, the social proof aspect of it was pretty gross.
	I've never seen people taking pictures of them getting vaccinated till now.
	It's like, how is it cool now?
	How come it wasn't cool before, like getting your flu shot or whatever?
	Well, you know, because it was so heroic, you know, to get the what's it called?
	Oh my gosh, experimental drug.
	To get the experimental drug, it's so heroic.
	I'll tell you what, man, it takes a set of balls.
	Balls you can't show on your YouTube channel.
	Yeah.
	So how much, how much content are you producing?
	Like, has it gotten to the point where if you walk into like a town hall meeting or a city council meeting, I assume that's what those were in your in your video.
	Do they are they like, oh shit, here he is?
	They know.
	They've already been told about me.
	They've this one city council guy who likes me, he was telling me, he's like, yeah, they warned us like two months ago before you came and we were preps for you and Alex Dyne.
	That's awesome.
	Yeah.
	I was like, wow, because he made me laugh.
	Like when I was doing my bit in there, he made me laugh when I looked at it because he was laughing.
	Well, I really enjoy watching the people behind you that are like, like half are pissed off and half are like trying not to laugh.
	Like when you were in that BLM shirt, dude, those guys behind you, like one of them was really like trying not to bust up.
	Oh, yeah, dude.
	I saw it.
	But his wife or the girl.
	She was pissed.
	Yeah, she was pissed.
	He's looking at her like for permission to laugh.
	So do you do any stand-up?
	Stand up.
	No, no stand-up.
	Yeah.
	Is that your thing?
	Have you ever tried it?
	You never tried it?
	Never tried it.
	It's just totally different, man.
	This is like improv versus stand-up is just so different.
	Yeah, I'm not like, I know that they're not the same, but I just was curious if I thought about it.
	I've thought about it.
	It's just, you know, a lot different, but maybe I'll try it one day.
	I think the problem I would have with stand-up, other than the fact that I'm not very funny, is I don't think that I could enjoy doing the same bit like 300 times.
	Like I saw Joe Rogan six months ago at Vulcan here in Austin, and it was awesome.
	We're like, we're in the small bar.
	It's like $150 to get in and he's like ironing out material for whatever special he's doing next, right?
	I go back two weeks ago, right?
	And he's doing the same routine, like perfected.
	He's working on it.
	It's a little bit better than it was, but it's the same.
	So this dude's been telling the same routine every Tuesday night at Vulcan for 26 weeks, right?
	Wow.
	And it's like, obviously, like the pros are the pros for a reason, but I don't think that I would find that very fun to like go up there, like, knock, knock, you know, like, or, you know, why is it, why is the chicken cross the road?
	Like, it's only funny the first time to me, you know?
	Yeah, no, I agree.
	Uh, that's, that's the thing I was talking to, because I was talking to Alex Stein about that.
	And he's like, yeah, just telling the same jokes over and over.
	I was like, dude, I know, man.
	Cause like.
	I realized that a while ago.
	I was like, wait, they're telling the same jokes.
	I was like, okay, I mean, it doesn't seem too hard then.
	And you just, maybe if you spend a year working on your routine and just tell the same jokes, you might be successful.
	Yeah.
	But then a lot of guys do that and they burn out.
	Like they forget how to write.
	Like Jerry Seinfeld had to like burn all of his notebooks because he wasn't writing any new material.
	He was just doing old shit over and over again and he caught himself and he's like, I need to just reset, you know?
	Yeah.
	But I mean, it's like, that's true for anything, like not just comedy.
	Like it's really easy to get in a comfort zone and coast.
	No, I agree, man.
	Yeah.
	A lot of people do that, but that's when you need to stop being lazy and get it together.
	Because I've caught myself doing that.
	And I'm like, wow, I need to, I need to get it together.
	I need to start writing new material.
	Otherwise, like, you're not going to get anywhere.
	Do you think it's like laziness?
	Or do you think it's just people don't have it?
	Like, don't, they can't find a purpose.
	You know what I mean?
	Like, I'm like, I'm the type of guy.
	I can work 48 hours straight, but it has to be something that like I'm fulfilled by, right?
	Yeah.
	I mean, I feel like you just kind of get used to it.
	So you don't change anything because you're like, oh, I'm good.
	I'm doing this, whatever.
	But yeah, I think, I think, you know, after a while, like, you should change something.
	Like, I don't want to do the same thing over and over.
	I'd lose my mind.
	Yeah.
	So where do you see yourself in 20 years?
	20.
	I have no idea.
	Do you have any kids?
	I have one.
	I have one daughter.
	She's four months old.
	Congratulations, dude.
	My daughter's one and a half.
	Oh, nice.
	Thanks.
	Same to you.
	Same to you.
	Thanks, man.
	It's a special feeling, isn't it?
	Oh, yeah.
	It's awesome.
	It was funny at first because she's so like fragile.
	I mean, she's not like that anymore, obviously, because I would be scared to hold her.
	Yeah, dude.
	You don't want to fuck that up.
	That's a nightmare.
	Yeah, exactly.
	But now she's good.
	She got big quick too, man.
	So dude, they grow fast.
	My daughter smacked her head on the floor today.
	It was the loudest sound I've ever heard in my life.
	And I don't know how she's alive, but she got up.
	Wow.
	Yeah.
	She like fell off a chair, you know, and it was just one of those things, like perfect, you know, wrong time, you know, perfect kind of like second that I looked away.
	And it was, man, that sound was just so terrible.
	That's scary.
	But hey, I've been smacked over the head with like, I remember I was playing with my, I was playing with my sisters.
	This is when I was in high school.
	And one of my little sisters takes like a toy laptop computer, smacks me over the head with, now that hurt.
	Like, I, I, and, and, but.
	Was it a Wacintosh?
	No, I mean, yeah, I get the joke.
	No, I was like, I wasn't even looking.
	And then out of nowhere, I just feel this thing hit my head and I'm just on the ground.
	Like I'm about to cry.
	Yeah, that's so bad.
	That's the worst.
	I can't even remember.
	I think the worst pain I've ever been in is I jumped across a creek when I was a kid and I landed wrong on my ankle and it like hyperextended it.
	Not extended, but I don't know the other way where your toe goes toward your shin.
	And that was the worst feeling ever.
	You know, I've hurt myself.
	I've cut myself before where like, I guess like I didn't even know I cut myself.
	I remember I was riding my bike and I wrecked it and then I went home and I realized I had this huge cut on my leg.
	I'm like, I didn't even know I had this.
	Can I ask you some dad questions that I've been thinking about?
	Go for it.
	All right.
	So when I was a kid, and I imagine you had a similar upbringing, I grew up in the Midwest.
	And when I was a kid, my mom would send me out in the morning on my bike and she'd say, be home by the time the street lights come on.
	That was the rule.
	Right.
	So me and my buddies, we'd ride all over the neighborhood.
	We'd go to the gas station and get sodas or lunch or whatever, shoot up fireworks all day.
	Like that was all summer, all day.
	Yeah.
	Would you let your daughter have the same childhood that we had?
	No, because just how much things have changed, I wouldn't.
	Yeah.
	Do you think it's actually gotten worse and more dangerous or do you think that we just hear about it constantly because of social media?
	I think it's a combination of both.
	Like, I don't, I mean, just look at these, like, man.
	That is a good, that is a good question because I don't like cops have objectively gotten less violent and less racist over the decades.
	But everybody.
	Is that a good thing, though?
	Is that a good thing?
	Regardless, everybody thinks that they're way worse than they ever have been.
	Yeah, it's just because of social media.
	Yeah.
	Every time the cop screws up, yeah, you see it a million times.
	Yeah, we don't, we didn't see it before.
	I mean, I feel like there's more pedophiles and stuff like are out in the open more.
	Well, yeah, because the internet, like it's way easier to get your well, no, it's normal.
	They're normalizing it, though, with the whole drag queen story time and all this, these freaks.
	Yeah.
	You know?
	You know why, though?
	Like, why would they do that?
	Why?
	Because I thought there were like eight of them.
	No.
	Yeah, you know what?
	You're probably right.
	It's probably not as bad as we think, but it's different with a girl, dude.
	Yeah.
	If you had a son, would you let him ride his bike all over the place when he's like 12?
	12?
	I mean, around the neighborhood.
	Yeah.
	Like, I mean, there has to be a limit, you know?
	Like, and it depends on it.
	No, it depends on the location.
	It really depends on the location.
	Yeah.
	Like, if you're in a nice area, like, you're probably not going to expect anything.
	There's low crime.
	But if you're in some, you know, crime-ridden area, would you let your kid go around?
	It comes down to the location, really.
	Yeah.
	I just like, I don't want to be a helicopter parent because I saw the helicopter kids when I was growing up.
	And I don't want to, I don't want a kid like that, you know?
	But at the same time, I don't want to be so hands-off that, you know, it's that it's rash or irresponsible.
	Yeah.
	No, I man, yeah.
	I think, I think it just comes down to the location.
	So, I mean, if we're in a good area and stuff, I mean, I'll probably just, I'll trust it.
	So, um, speaking of location, if you get a chance, are you going to go to Mars on a SpaceX flight if they have a let the civilians go?
	Man, all that stuff's fake.
	You don't think, you don't think that you don't think any of that's happening?
	You don't think the rockets are going to spare?
	Are you flat Earther?
	Look, I'll tell you this, man.
	We have to give you a hard time.
	No, no, look.
	No, I'm just going to tell you, look, I can't prove, obviously, like, oh, the Earth is flat or whatever.
	But does it, like, there's no way we've been to the moon.
	There's no way.
	There's no way.
	It's all lies.
	If you think the government lies about everything, why would you think that, you know, NASA is telling the truth?
	Literally, the founder of NASA, he has on his tombstone Psalm 91.
	It talks about how the God's firmament.
	Let me read this.
	Oh, yeah, I know what you're talking about.
	Psalm 19.1.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	And there's a bunch of weird Antarctica treaties.
	Yeah, treaties and stuff that have very little explanation.
	And apparently the old Encyclopedia Britannica talks about a firmament over Antioch.
	That's it.
	I've seen some of that stuff.
	It says the heavens declare the glory of God in the firmament showeth his handiwork.
	Like, why would the founder of NASA put that?
	Come on.
	And there's no way.
	There's no way that, you know, we're on this spinning ball that's going like, what, a thousand miles an hour plus?
	Like, there's no way.
	So let me ask you this.
	If the earth isn't round, then how come all the other planets look round?
	Then how come all the other places?
	Yeah, like I look at the moon.
	It looks like a ball.
	I don't know.
	I mean, ask God.
	I'm not saying it's like for sure flat, but what I'm saying is I don't believe it's a spinning ball, like spinning.
	It could be round, but I don't believe we're spinning.
	You think we'd fly off?
	Also, but also people have like a big misconception of flat earth.
	What do you mean?
	Like when they think of flat earth, they don't have the right understanding of it.
	They don't even know what it actually is like.
	If you really, if you see a real like flat earth.
	Isn't it like a half circle with like an ice wall?
	Yes.
	I know my shit.
	Yes.
	But most people don't know.
	There's oh, well.
	Right.
	They think like disc.
	Yeah, exactly.
	They have no idea.
	Look, I don't know if it's flat or not, but I just don't believe it's spinning at like whatever thousands of miles an hour, thousand miles an hour, whatever they say.
	It just doesn't, it makes more sense for it not to be spinning.
	Yeah.
	I don't know.
	I don't know very much about physics or the science.
	That's one of the things.
	I'm gonna do the science stuff is just made up too.
	Well, that's that's one of the things that's like so confusing about the internet age is that like, and I knew this growing up too.
	I knew a couple of really smart people, just like everybody knows a couple of really smart people who believed like really bizarre things, like not flat earth, not politics, just like stuff you'd never even imagine, right?
	And not even conspiracies.
	They just believe bizarre stuff.
	And I think like one of the challenges with the internet is like, if I want to sit down with the internet as a totally neutral person and say, all right, I'm going to flip a coin.
	And if it's heads, I'm only going to consume content about why climate change is real.
	And if it's tails, I'm only going to consume content about why it's bullshit and it's not happening or it's not man-made, right?
	And like you can go on the internet and you could convince yourself of pretty much anything.
	You can convince yourself that the world is round, that it's flat.
	Like if you get down the wrong rabbit hole and like just lose a little bit of perspective, you can totally get lost because of the access to information that we have, you know?
	But it's like, it's pretty easy to tell what's real and isn't.
	I could watch something and be like, yeah, this is real or this is a hoax.
	Like at this point.
	Did you see that deep fake that MIT did where they got Nixon to give his give his alternative speech?
	He had an alternate speech in case the astronauts died on the moon mission.
	And MIT was able to use facial AI and voice AI that analyzed all of his speeches and was able to recreate his voice.
	And they were able to make a video that looked real of him giving the speech announcing that all the astronauts were dead.
	No, I didn't see it.
	It's crazy, man.
	But I don't know.
	I think I could be fooled.
	I could be tricked.
	It's hard for me to look at things.
	I have the opposite of it.
	We can get tricked.
	I'm just saying, like, for a lot of stuff, you know, it's going to be pretty easy to tell if it's real or not.
	Yeah.
	Like compared to the average person, well, like the average brainwashed person who's watching the mainstream media believing that's real.
	Yeah.
	Well, that is true.
	Like I am absolutely like when I read 1984 growing up and Brave New World and like it's I loved those books growing up, but they seemed very like out of touch and exaggerated.
	But like now we're in this situation where it's really obvious multiple times that like we're being lied to and you don't have to be you don't have to be brilliant to figure it out.
	You just have to have the audacity to like think about it for a second.
	Right.
	Yeah.
	And I'm not even talking about like major conspiracy issues, but just like the 2016 election, for example, like the only tenable explanation for why the polls were so wrong in 2016 when Trump ran against Hillary was that the polls were just lies.
	No, they were.
	They were lies.
	Like just use common sense.
	Like, how were they that wrong?
	Yeah, exactly.
	You know, but people don't know.
	I mean, I feel like the polls are, the polls are always lies, though.
	Yeah.
	Even like, even in, you know, 2020, they were saying, weren't they saying Biden was ahead in the polls, right?
	I don't know.
	That's good.
	Yeah, I'm pretty sure they were saying Biden was ahead in the polls.
	There's no way.
	I just don't understand how.
	I don't understand how you can get, you know, 84 million votes, but you can only have like 11 million real Twitter followers.
	Yeah, but those aren't even real.
	Those aren't even real.
	Those aren't even real, probably.
	Well, the 22 million are half fake.
	So I already did the math.
	Like 11 would be the real, the remaining.
	I don't even believe that.
	I don't even believe that.
	Maybe like 5 million real.
	Who do you think runs his Twitter?
	Probably the Rothschilds.
	What was I going to say?
	It's funny because right after Joe Biden got elected president on his, they made a new Instagram account, the POTUS account on Instagram, and he had millions of followers instantly.
	I'm like, these are so fake.
	And they all were like so supportive of him.
	I'm like, yeah, right.
	This is so fake.
	Well, I mean, good for him coming out of retirement and getting a part-time job.
	Yeah.
	Like, here's the deal, man.
	Like, I would rather have someone that I disagreed with on everything who was like coherent president than someone I totally agreed with who was out of their damn mind.
	Yeah.
	At least Obama could speak.
	Yeah, he could put together a sentence.
	He still can.
	And, you know, as much as I despised all of his policies, he was a reassuring guy.
	Like, everything felt like it was going to be all right.
	You know, maybe it was going to be a little expensive, but it was going to be okay.
	You know, like he just gave that vibe off, right?
	Regardless of whether that's, you know, like accurate.
	But with Biden, I'm just like, holy shit.
	Like, we don't know who's like, somebody's running the country, but it's not him.
	You know, that's so creepy.
	But it's never been.
	It's never been like the president running the country for like years, dude.
	It's like it, it hasn't.
	It's always been a shadow government controlling everything.
	I think after World War II is when that really started.
	Probably the intelligence.
	Well, you know, I think, I mean, I think it was before World War II because what's his Woodrow Wilson?
	That's when he signed away.
	I believe it was Woodrow Wilson, the Federal Reserve.
	1915.
	Yeah, 1913.
	I think that's when everything started.
	That was certainly the economic crippling factor.
	But we empowered the intelligence community so much during World War II.
	And the military-industrial complex made so much money on that war that when it was suddenly over, there was just so much incentive for corruption to come into play to keep that machine rolling.
	And it's funny how people thought Roosevelt was a good president.
	FDR?
	Yeah, that he's trash.
	Trash.
	Did you know that he seized everyone's personal gold except for their wedding bands?
	Wow, I didn't know that.
	You could not legally own gold in the United States during FDR, during the Depression, unless it was your wedding band or wedding ring.
	You had to give it to the government because the dollar was backed by gold at the time.
	And they needed gold in the treasury.
	Well, here's the thing.
	We have nothing to fear but fear itself.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	That was a great line, right?
	Despite who said it.
	Yeah, not him.
	I guarantee he didn't make that up.
	Yeah.
	Do you think he was just like talking to his wife?
	And he's like, what should I say?
	I'm so scared.
	I'm so nervous.
	I don't need to say it.
	She's like, you don't have anything to fear except fear itself.
	Yeah.
	He's like, that's it, Eureka.
	I got it.
	What's it called?
	It was funny because Biden, when he plagiarized a bunch of people, Johnny Carson called him out about, or he was talking about it on his show or whatever.
	And after he was like, yeah, after Biden, you know, he talked about it.
	He apologized.
	And then he told his staff, we have nothing to fear but fear itself.
	hilarious that's hysterical He went and plagiarized again.
	He plagiarized all these speeches.
	And, hey, we have nothing to fear but fear itself.
	Plagiarized again.
	You definitely didn't come up with the line one small step for man.
	No, I love the one.
	What was it?
	He copied one of Ronald Reagan's speeches.
	Who did?
	Joe Biden?
	Biden.
	Biden to the Navy.
	He gave it up at the Naval Academy's graduation.
	See, that's why you write your own speeches.
	You're going to have some dumbass intern write your speeches and they're going to half-ass it because you're paying them seven bucks an hour to be on your shitty campaign.
	And they're going to just copy and paste a Reagan speech and tweak a couple of things, but not good enough.
	And you're going to wind up saying some stupid shit.
	Yeah.
	Write your own speeches, man.
	If you want to be president, then be president.
	Don't outsource it.
	Be the puppet.
	And then I was going to say, you know, all these people are just idolizing Donald Trump.
	And, you know, people get mad whenever I call Trump out.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	I'm reluctant to call him out publicly because I don't want to lose my fans, but I have my fair share of criticisms.
	But the thing is, you have to, mostly positive.
	You have to criticize him regardless of what people think because he's never going to change.
	He's going to keep doing that same crap.
	That's why I feel like he would be better if people actually criticized him instead of just sucking up to him all the time.
	You have to call, just because you like someone, like, doesn't mean you shouldn't criticize them.
	I agree with you, but I think that's why he had so much turnover.
	I think anytime he got criticized, people got fired.
	Well, the thing is, you know, Operation Warp Speed is all him and the vaccine, and he loves to take credit for that.
	Like, he loves it.
	But then it's like people are like, well, he's giving you the choice.
	So he's giving you the choice.
	You can take the poison, but you don't have to.
	You could take it, but you don't have to.
	I took it.
	I'm good.
	so the first to know if it doesn't work my theory on the whole trump thing is i think that americans are incredibly frustrated and they don't necessarily know why because uh they've been lied to so many times and they don't have any fucking time to figure out what's really going on because they're trying to figure out how to put food on the table for their families and inflation is so so crazy that they have to send their kids to school to be raised by the state and both the mom and the dad have to work for so people don't have time to figure shit out even if they wanted to right yeah and
	i think that what happened what happened with trump is that people and americans are so desperately in need of like a populist hero like a real hero president like yeah fucking you know that's what i know but like emotionally psychologically like we're in need of of that like we're frantically looking for a leader and we can't find one and and what happens is when you when you believe you found that like when you when you think you found gold and then you find out that it's that fake shit
	it's not really it's fool's gold that like your heart just sinks right and so i think that a lot of people who think that trump was 100 perfect right are really just like deeply uncomfortable with the notion that we still don't have
	like we don't have a leader like you know at least in star wars there was luke skywalker and there was darth vader but now we don't even know who's who you know yeah dude i mean dude look at the end of the day look at all the presidents who've been in office they're all they've all been corrupt
	and you do you really believe that all of a sudden they just let someone in like trump who's gonna save us come on i don't know i i think he might have uh actually pulled one over on him but like a fluke thing you know but i mean look look he gave like look the first three years he did pretty good and then the last year he just gave up it's like he just gave in to everything the left wanted you know stimulus and it's like dude people don't want to even blame him for inflation well he's part of
	the problem too yeah he's the one who's astronomical amount of money exactly there's a latency too in that like there's it takes time for when you print it and spend it to when you feel it in the prices so the latency is lining up but yeah exactly it takes time people don't realize that and it's like yeah that's one of the reasons why there's such bad inflation right now it's not just because of biden it's like biden in here let's let's be real biden inherited a pretty big mess and he did but
	that was that was yeah the covet thing though like really put trump in a tricky situation because if he didn't do any of the stimulus stuff then it would have looked like he didn't give a shit about anybody uh people died you know like they would have blamed him for that and but if but if he does what he did then we have what we have now in terms of you know inflation problems and yeah and then and then like obviously you know we should have never locked down right that was just i mean if we didn't lock down we wouldn't have needed to do
	stimulus that's right that was the whole it was it was domino effect and he was for it he was for the lockdown he said we're locked down for two weeks like come on dude why didn't lock down for two weeks i was disappointed that the um cities were burning after george george floyd no that was art and i was disappointed that he didn't do anything about it yeah yeah like you let a lot of cities the mayor he said the mayor can come and
	call the national guard i'm like why don't you just do something you're so he's so prideful just go do it yeah like they didn't have the mayor get permission to take florida or texas yeah like i said the mayor can come and call the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the Exactly.
	Take Florida and Texas back.
	He should have literally just gone and sent them in himself, dude.
	Everything would have been good, dude.
	Would have been wiped out the problem in an instant.
	I tell you what, man, if I had a store in downtown Chicago, I'm a small business owner, but I work from a laptop.
	I'm a laptop warrior, but I know how much hard work and heart goes into building a small business, as you do too, like with your content and stuff.
	It takes hours and hours and hours and determination.
	If someone threw a brick through my window of my retail location during a riot and the government refused to press charges or look at the video or if they caught the guy, if they bailed him out, I would feel more angered at that.
	I feel more angered at that now than the actual brick coming through the window.
	Like, I know the guy, it's inevitable that a guy is going to throw a brick through a window.
	But what I was counting on was that the government would do the thing it was actually supposed to do, which is protect my private property rights instead of doing everything except for what you're supposed to do.
	Oh, dude, 100%.
	They literally do everything except for protect the border or your rights, which are the two reasons that we have a government in the first place.
	Yeah, they don't do anything.
	So, I mean, that's why it comes down to the end.
	People need to stop, you know, relying on the government and just, you know, do what they can, like for themselves and their families instead of worrying about the government doing everything for them.
	You know what I mean?
	People put too much just reliance on the government.
	Yeah.
	Well, and I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that like a lot of people have lost their faith.
	Like, we're not as Christian of a nation as we used to be.
	And I mean, we were really never a Christian nation.
	I understand, but there was a lot more cultural consensus around.
	No, I agree.
	I agree with that.
	And that's why God's not going to bless the nation.
	Because look, look at this.
	Abortion, you know, freaking, we got drag queen story time, gay marriage, like pride parades.
	You know, we're going and invading other countries for, you know, no reason, really, other than, you know, we want to take people's resources, killing all these innocent people.
	Yeah.
	Do you think God's going to bless the nation that does that?
	No.
	Yeah.
	Well, and we can get really like nitpicky on like every certain type of sin or lifestyle, but let's just, let's just, let's be as conservative as possible and let's just look at the 10 commandments, right?
	I don't know them all off the top of my head, but I'm willing to bet that the government has violated all of them, right?
	So I shall not steal.
	That's what inflation is, right?
	Thou shalt not kill, constantly killing people, right?
	Thou shalt not bear false witness.
	They're constantly lying and getting caught under oath, right?
	Whether it's Fauci or whether it's stuff.
	Adultery, they're all fucking each other, right?
	Constantly.
	What are the other ones that I'm missing here?
	They're just following colour.
	They always want other people's shit.
	Yeah, thou shalt not covet, right?
	That was the fifth one.
	What am I missing here?
	Maybe in the chat, we can get some.
	Honor your mother, father.
	Yeah, they don't do that.
	Thou shall not, oh my gosh.
	Oh, put any other gods before me.
	They do that.
	Worship idols.
	Yep, everybody's doing that.
	Not everybody, but a lot of people.
	Yeah, a lot of the government leaders.
	It seems like our government is constantly violating all 10 of the 10 commandments.
	No, that's bad, man.
	Like those, the 10 commandments are so good and solid that even people who don't believe in God are like, I'm cool with those rules.
	Yeah.
	You know what I'm at?
	It's like, how do you think we naturally like, you know, we know what is right and wrong.
	How do you think we know that?
	Because God put that in us.
	It's not like it just randomly occurred.
	It's hardwired, man.
	Exactly.
	It's God put that in us.
	And, you know, there's one savior and that's Jesus.
	That's it.
	It's not going to be Donald Trump.
	It's, I'm sorry, but it's not.
	So, so when's Jesus coming back?
	You know what?
	I don't know because Jesus said only the father knows the hour.
	But I feel like we're.
	Yeah, but he said that 2,000 years ago.
	You don't think he got it out of him like on poker night?
	Well, you know, 2,000 years to God is like, you know, it says in the Bible, like a thousand years to God is like a, or sorry, a thousand years for us is like a day to God.
	It's like nothing.
	And he's being so patient.
	He's waiting on, you know, he's giving us time to, you know, to change.
	Obviously, we see how that's going.
	He's being patient with us and he's, you know, trying to show mercy, but because God obviously loves us, he cares about us.
	He gave his only son, Jesus Christ.
	So, you know, he obviously cares about us.
	But, you know, all we have to do, it's so simple to be saved is believe on Jesus Christ and that's it.
	But, you know, I guess people are too, a lot of people are so prideful too, that they don't want to do that.
	They just can't fathom it.
	It's like too much for them.
	You know, if you go to a rich neighborhood or not even like filthy rich, but you know, a neighborhood with that's just more wealthy in general, those people aren't going to be very receptive to the gospel so much.
	That's true.
	And like, yeah, prisoners read the Bible more.
	Like, I mean, I made a joke the other day.
	I said, what's the difference between an atheist and a Catholic?
	And the answer, of course, is an atheist has read the Bible.
	Yeah.
	Catholic.
	Yeah.
	No, I say it all the time.
	I said Catholics would not be Catholics if they read the Bible.
	They wouldn't.
	They literally have idols everywhere.
	Yeah, it's straight up old.
	And go ask a Catholic what their favorite Bible verse is.
	And the thing is, they have like a works-based salvation.
	And that's the thing, like why people just can't fathom it because in the Bible, Jesus says, you know, it's easier for a camel to fit through a needle than for a rich man to get to heaven.
	That's because a rich man thinks that they have everything and they don't need Jesus.
	He doesn't need it.
	That's it.
	And a lot of people are going to go to hell because, you know, it says also in the Bible that narrow is the gate to heaven and not many will enter is because so many people, they can't understand that they don't need to work their way into heaven.
	Most people want to work for it.
	They want to work their way into heaven.
	They can't get, oh, Jesus did this for me.
	I don't even need to do this.
	Nothing I do is going to get me into heaven.
	No, they want to do it themselves.
	Yeah.
	I think there's a lot of that.
	I also think, too, that a lot of people, there's another side to the coin, too, where, you know, one of my favorite parts of the gospel is when Jesus says, you know, let he who hasn't sinned cast the first stone.
	Yeah.
	And there are, at least growing up in the 90s, I don't know if it's still the case, but there was a lot of sort of dogma and judgment that you could feel as a kid growing up, like in a church environment, if people weren't like living out the religion properly, whether they were making a mistake by accident or whatever.
	And I think that turned off generations, you know, of people who just felt like, I don't know, they felt like the church got rebranded as a judgmental place rather than a salvation.
	It was, you know, like they flipped it, just like they made us racists.
	If you're a Republican, you're a racist or a sexist or whatever.
	Yeah.
	You know, they rebrand you.
	So I don't know.
	Like, I think the Christians could do a better job of being compassionate to the opponent, I guess.
	The adversary.
	Especially like, you know, if somebody, if somebody clearly wants to change, then we shouldn't be like hounding them.
	You know what I mean?
	It takes time.
	Yeah.
	So did you get dunked or did you get baptized at birth?
	No, I got baptized like a year ago.
	Congratulations, dude.
	Thanks.
	Yeah.
	Everybody else was getting vaccinated.
	You were getting baptized?
	That's right, man.
	That's going to be the new trend soon.
	Yeah, this cure don't need a booster.
	So what made you decide to get baptized?
	You know, I just wasn't really happy with the way things were going.
	And I wanted to change.
	And, you know, my wife kind of helped me out too.
	So she helped me.
	She got me into it.
	And then like from then on, I just started reading the Bible and, you know, just watching a lot of videos and just looking into it more.
	So, yeah, dude.
	I mean, it's great, man.
	I think, you know, if people even practice, you know, or 20% of the Bible, like this would be a much better place.
	Yeah.
	The crazy thing to me about it is, like, Regardless of whether or not the Bible is true, there is absolutely no case to be made for that book being anything other than an absolute masterpiece.
	I mean, it is.
	Oh, yeah.
	It's the best book ever.
	And it's, I get it.
	Like, Leviticus is boring.
	Like, I don't, you don't, nobody likes to read it.
	I get it.
	I get it.
	But, like, some of the messages, and like, if you read, like, like, one of my favorite stories in the Bible is in the Old Testament, the Ark of the Covenant.
	You know, it's a big player.
	And, you know, of course, they weren't allowed to touch the ark directly, right?
	Otherwise, and I think they were carrying it across the desert, if I remember the story right.
	And one of the guys carrying it on the platform that they had to hold like slipped and the ark started to slide off the platform.
	It was about to fall on the ground.
	And one of the other men like reached up to catch it.
	And as soon as he touched it, it was smitten, right?
	Like bolt of lightning.
	And I grew up thinking, like, oh, that story is like about the wrath of God and just like obey and don't question, just do what he says.
	And like, if you really think about it more, like, I think the lesson of that story is don't do the wrong thing for the right reasons because it's still the wrong thing, right?
	So like, he knew he wasn't supposed to touch it, but like the ark is sacred, you know, like he was trying to do the right thing, you know, but or he was doing it for the right reasons, but like it's still the wrong thing.
	So it's sort of like an anti-Machiavellian like Bible story.
	And I just think that's, it's so powerful to hear these stories and parables because you can keep going back to them.
	And as you change, their meaning changes.
	It's like a living document.
	You know, it's crazy.
	No, yeah, it's great.
	And what's funny too is that some people will try to say, well, like when Jesus is talking about hell being eternal fire, they're like, dude, he's just using parables.
	Wait, so when Jesus talked about hell, it's not really eternal, right?
	It's not hellfire.
	There's no fire in hell.
	He's using, they can't tell you what the parable is, though.
	Parables always have like a purpose.
	There's like a meaning behind it.
	You know what I mean?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	But it's not a parable because hell is eternal hellfire.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	I don't know, man.
	It's, it's, it's such a complicated and like deeply personal thing.
	And the older I get, the more I, the more I appreciate how sensitive and important it is.
	And I just wish that, I just wish that culturally we could embrace tolerance again.
	Like I was watching Ayn Rand, and you're probably not a huge Ayn Rand fan because she's a major atheist, but I like her books.
	And I was watching an interview that she did with, I can't remember some dude from the 60s that looks like every other dude from the 60s, you know, on Wall Street.
	And she made this awesome, awesome point.
	She's like, listen, she's like, in the country that has the greatest protection of the freedom of religion, we have the least violence among religions.
	In a country that has the greatest amount of protection for freedom of speech, we have the least violence among political disagreements, right?
	Or political factions.
	She's like, where there's freedom, there's peace.
	And I wish that, like, I wish America would wake up to that wisdom.
	Like, listen, I'm not, I'm not a Muslim.
	I don't like the religion.
	I don't want to follow it.
	But like, I totally support anybody's right to practice that religion so long as it doesn't violate anybody else's rights.
	And it's like, we have to get back to this point where we're willing to sit next to people that we don't resonate with, but still realize that they're our neighbor, our countrymen.
	You know?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	I mean, like, at the end of the day, you know, if you don't believe on Jesus Christ, I mean, you are going to go to hell.
	But I mean, yeah, I hear it sucks.
	Yeah, I mean, but I get what you're saying.
	I get, I know, I totally get what you're saying, man.
	I'm not making a case like for or against hell or anything.
	I'm not trying to make it.
	No, no, no.
	No, and I was, all I was going to say, I was just laughing for a second.
	You know, at the end of the day, God will take care of everything.
	God will take care of it.
	So, you know, yeah, I think it's, I think it's good to have, you know, those certain freedoms and stuff like that.
	And, you know, we need to go, we need to go back and instead of, you know, why are they having parades for LGBTQ?
	You know, the government used to punish them.
	You know, they need to.
	I'm not throwing any stones.
	Yeah.
	Well, no, I mean, I mean, a lot of these people, like, like in the schools, in the schools, teaching the kids, these are pedophiles.
	They need to be locked up.
	I agree with you.
	There's no excuse to talk to any kid about sex.
	Exactly.
	Anybody who's talking to a kid about sex, like even if it's a straight teacher, like, hey, by the way, this is like, no, no, no, that's a conversation I get to have with my kid.
	That's not a conversation you get to have with my eight-year-old.
	Yeah, but you don't really see it that often from straight teachers.
	That's the thing.
	They're not teaching that.
	I understand.
	I'm just saying hypothetically, like this isn't like a homophobia or a transphobia position.
	Like, just don't talk to my kid about sex no matter who you are.
	Yeah.
	I mean, I mean, I would probably get considered homophobic.
	Am I scared of gay people?
	No, I'm just telling you like what the Bible says.
	It says they're an abomination.
	I mean, that's what they are.
	Oh my God, you're in hell.
	We got the camera in.
	If your camera went to hell, the internal temp is too hot.
	Yeah, no, I figured that would happen.
	But you can hear me.
	Yeah, dude.
	So I think that if we just started following, you know, God's God's laws, you know, things would be a lot better.
	But, you know, obviously man is trying to do things their own way.
	And, you know, I'm not going to punish anybody.
	I'm not going to do it.
	I mean, that's at the end of the day, that's up to God and the governing authorities.
	But what are they doing?
	They're letting criminals out early.
	They're not punishing them at all.
	They're letting pedophiles in the schools teach the kids.
	I mean, what is seriously going on here, man?
	This is like all upside down.
	I wish that I knew the answer.
	I'm just as perplexed and disturbed.
	Well, I know the answer.
	It's because the devil has very little time and he's doing whatever he can, you know, at the last minute to just do as much as he can.
	And then also, on top of that, you know, man is doing things their own way.
	And so many people are just deceived here, man.
	What do you mean?
	They think it's like, oh, let's be tolerant.
	Let's like let all these people do this and that.
	It's like, no, we're not going to let them do this.
	Because people being tolerant of these people's stupid ideas is why things are so bad right now.
	That's true.
	But on the other side of that, the problem is the intolerance from the left.
	So, yes, we gave an inch and they took a mile, but there was a time when there was a reciprocity of tolerance and that's when it worked.
	But it's a two-way street, right?
	And if one side isn't tolerating the other, then it creates problems.
	And yeah, there was a time in, I don't know, the 80s where people would actually be friends with someone that voted for the opposite candidate.
	Yeah.
	And you hardly hear about that anymore.
	Like, no, I think they did a study recently.
	It's so far opposite.
	That's why it's so far opposite.
	Both parties, Democrat and Republican, used to be pretty close.
	Yep.
	Yep.
	Now it's like a freaking, you know, one is like Looney Tunes and one is like realistic.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Seemingly, at least.
	But I don't know.
	We got a lot of rhinos too, man.
	We got problems in our own party.
	Oh, no, absolutely, dude.
	That's why I've been calling out people like Ted Cruz and, you know, Dan Cuckshaw.
	I mean, dude, it's just so funny with Ted Cruz how he signs the, this is what he does.
	He'll sign the bill to give 40 billion to Ukraine.
	He's all for it.
	And then to distract people from going after him, he'll go and talk about the left.
	Ooh, the left.
	The left did this.
	The left did that.
	But it's like, dude, I get what you're doing.
	You're trying to divert the attention from you to the left.
	Yep.
	Like just classic lawyer tactics, lawyer politician, swamp, swamp crap.
	Exactly.
	And that's the thing about Trump.
	Speaking of the swamp, you know, he would always say, drain the swamp, drain the swamp.
	It's funny because he said he didn't even like the phrase.
	He just said it because someone told him to say it, but he didn't even like it.
	And then on top of that, yeah.
	And then it's like, okay, he's adding to the swamp.
	I would just see him continuously adding more swamp creatures to the swamp.
	I'm like, how is he going to drain it?
	This doesn't make any sense.
	Maybe that's the nature of the swamp.
	Like, you know, if you take a step in, you're just going to sink no matter what your intentions.
	But I will say that one thing that Trump did accomplish, despite any criticism or praise, he definitely pulled the curtain away and revealed the inner just corruption and wrangled gnashing of teeth.
	That is CC.
	Do you think, well, do you think he wanted that though?
	Do you think, or not him, but do you think that the elites wanted that?
	You mean to like provoke the right in order to behave illegally so that they could just arrest them and just tamp down even more intense legislation against them?
	Yeah, like, like, for example, do you think that, you know, obviously the shadow government and these billionaire families, do you think that they wanted Trump to do what he did?
	So it could also, number one, cause more division.
	And then, number two, so it's like, look, they know exactly what's going on, but they can't do anything about it.
	I don't, that's a good question.
	I don't know.
	I'm reluctant to say that our leaders are so competent as to hatch a ploy like that.
	Like, Adam Schiff, if you look at that guy, his face is vacant.
	I mean, he's a dumbass.
	Like, no, I mean, I obviously like him, but I mean, like, the people really running the shit.
	Yeah, you mean, you mean, like, the behind the curtain, nobody knows your name.
	I'm talking like, you know, the Kissinger, the Rothschilds, the Rockefeller family, Klaus Schwab, you know, those kinds of people.
	I think that there is a concerted effort among the political elite.
	And by political elite, that doesn't mean like anybody in Congress.
	I mean, like, the political, like what you're saying.
	I think there is a concerted effort to steer the world toward globalism.
	Because if the world is restructured under a globalist government, then it's much easier to secure your hold on power and wealth.
	Yeah.
	So the problem with democracy for the political class and the problem with individual rights for a political class is that you constantly have to compete and fight for your power.
	And the only thing that the powerful want is to keep their power or grow it.
	And their greatest dream, what would make them euphoric and blissful would be to go to sleep at night and have not a concern for the loss of their power.
	Yeah.
	They just want omnipotence.
	And I think that's, I think that's why the globalists have conspired against their own people in many ways by these trade deals that don't make any sense for their people.
	I think that there is an understanding that they want to conglomerate wealth and power.
	And that way it'll become like this sort of dynastic globalist elite forever with the sort of new fief and then you'll own nothing and you'll be happy and you'll work for them and you'll pay, you know, everything will go straight to them and they'll offer you protection, but protection will be easy for them to offer you because the whole world will be conquered under a globalist tyranny.
	Yeah, I'm not I'm not going to live to see that day, even no matter when it comes, whether it's tomorrow.
	I think it's going to come soon.
	I think, you know, because they they're they're going to do a cyber attack soon.
	They keep talking about it.
	It will happen in the next couple years, a cyber attack.
	Sure.
	And, you know, it's funny how Klaus Schwab always knows what's going to happen.
	It's like he's the one doing it.
	It's like he's behind it.
	He already knows who is.
	And, you know, if that happens, then they're definitely going to push those RFID chips.
	Yeah.
	I'm not sure.
	That'll be the answer.
	That'll be the answer.
	And, you know, that is literally the mark of the beast because if you don't have that, they're going to say you can't buy or sell a watch.
	Yeah.
	I mean, they're already shutting down bank accounts of people who are too radical.
	I mean, look what Canada did to the truckers.
	They shut down Russia.
	They didn't work, but they basically shut down their entire access to the external world.
	And that's one of the reasons why, you know, as much as I oppose Vladimir Putin, and I think that he does some cruel and evil things in terms of his leadership and the way he handles people that disagree with him politically.
	I see why he's doing what he's doing in Ukraine because the Russian economy is so dependent on natural gas exports to Europe through Ukraine that it cannot, it cannot tolerate any situation in which that export avenue is threatened.
	And so right now, before a year ago, two years ago, they were negotiating with Ukraine to run natural gas out of Russia through Ukraine into the rest of Europe and it was fine.
	But as soon as Ukraine is part of NATO, then suddenly Russia has to negotiate with 30 countries who have been saying nothing but climate change stuff for the last 50 years about how much it's going to be taxed or tariffed for exporting natural gas, which is like a huge part of their whole Russian economy.
	Like this war with Ukraine is about Russia claiming national sovereignty.
	Putin is saying, fuck you.
	I'm not going to let the future of my country.
	be determined by every other leader of every other country.
	Like we are Russia.
	This is our fucking country.
	That's what he's saying.
	Part of my language, but I get kind of heated about this because I wish that America would claim its sovereignty too.
	And like I said, I don't agree with Putin.
	I think he's done some cruel and evil things.
	But I understand why as the leader of Russia and someone who I genuinely believes loves his country, right?
	I think he's doing what seems like the only tenable outcome.
	Like, what else am I supposed to do?
	Just wait for these people to steamroll me.
	Right.
	But maybe I'm just a dumbass, you know?
	Yeah.
	I mean, I think they're all bad.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, but some are worse than others.
	I agree.
	I think Zelensky is one of the worst.
	Dude, dude, that dude is so corrupt.
	Isn't he worth like $300 million?
	I don't know exactly how much he's worth, but he is bad, dude.
	And it's, you know, he's really talented at playing piano with his penis, though.
	So I'll give him that.
	I've never seen that.
	Oh, gosh.
	I mean, you can't literally see him naked, but he's behind.
	He's on some TV show because he was an actor.
	He still is an actor, but because he's acting like throughout this whole time.
	And it's so funny because he's literally behind the piano on the TV show with some other dude playing piano with his penis.
	Wow.
	No blackies, though.
	Not big enough.
	But on top of that, you know, like I remember, I remember there was all these pictures going around and people are like, oh my gosh, Zelensky is such a hero.
	He's with his troops.
	And those pictures are like old from some training exercise.
	Yeah, or he's doing photo shoots, like with sandbags around, and it's like the lighting's perfect.
	And there's three different photographers.
	Exactly.
	How is that?
	It's so perfect.
	The only time to take a picture during a war is in front of the Eiffel Tower after you've invaded a country.
	That's the only time.
	It's like, I'm like, how has he had so much time to do all this stuff?
	All these interviews and stuff.
	Like, it doesn't make sense.
	Imagine if somebody was kicking your ass, right?
	Like in a fist fight and you were like begging your buddy next to you to take as many pictures as possible.
	Yeah.
	That's what he's doing.
	That's what he's doing, man.
	It doesn't make any sense.
	I think they're all in on it together, man.
	Plus they were covering like crazy for the Bidens and their corruption in Ukraine.
	I mean, it's insane.
	Just the fact that America wanted to send the money to them so bad and protect Ukraine, that should show you everything.
	And you know what's funny?
	When you see people with no American flag outside their house, but they have a Ukraine flag.
	It's just like so pathetic.
	Oh, that drives me fucking nuts.
	I've seen that.
	It is sick, man.
	I was going to door knocking to like what's soul winning.
	And anyways, I went to this guy's house and I'm like, hey, is there anything that we could pray for you about?
	And he's like, yeah, Ukraine.
	And I was like, I said you.
	I was about to start laughing, but I was just like, man, someone else just do this for me because I'm tired of hearing about this crap.
	And don't get me wrong, I feel bad for the citizens there that had to leave their homes and stuff.
	Don't get me wrong.
	War is hell for everybody involved.
	Of course.
	It's a globalist manufactured war, dude.
	It's not even like what people think it is either.
	It's not.
	The really bizarre thing about it, man, is all the biolabs that we had there and all the money.
	Oh, dude.
	It's not like all the money Hunter was making off of Metabiota, who was investing in the labs there.
	And Hunter was invested in Metabiota.
	Metabiota was invested in Ukraine.
	And Zolchewski was invested in Metabiota.
	And Zelchevsky was the chairman of the board of Burisma.
	So the money was going through like four steps from DOD contract through Metabiota and all the way back into Joe's pocket because he shared a bank account with Hunter.
	Wow.
	So it was literally just laundering DOD contracts through labs in Ukraine as cash.
	Like, you know, senators only make $174,000 a year.
	Like, how is how does how does the Biden family live like that?
	I mean, Hunter Biden's spending $30,000 a month on rent, you know, in his mansion while Secret Service, you know, makes him hot pockets and makes sure he's okay.
	Andy smokes crack.
	Yeah, and doesn't get in trouble.
	Andy, Andy illegally had a fire, he purchased a firearm illegally by lying on the form and didn't get in trouble for that.
	He had an inappropriate sexual relationship with his 12-year-old niece and didn't get in trouble with that.
	And it's documented on text.
	And Jill and Joe knew about it and they didn't do anything about it, which is illegal in Delaware to know that a child is being abused and not report it.
	And they're laundering tax money through these contracts.
	And the same thing right now.
	They're running the country right now.
	That's the best part.
	Yeah.
	It's like, why the hell are there 500 January 6th protesters in prison without trial?
	And these fucks are walking around no problem.
	Yeah.
	Well, Trump didn't pardon them because he wants to show everybody how evil the system is.
	You know, they waited till like January 26th to arrest most of them, 24th, 26th, because they wanted to make sure that Trump couldn't pardon anybody.
	So they waited two weeks.
	I'm not surprised.
	Yeah, man, that's that's terrible.
	Yeah, I got to get going.
	But sure, man, this is a good time hanging out.
	I love talking to you, dude.
	Absolutely, man.
	Anytime.
	All right, dude.
	Well, you take care.
	If you ever come down to Austin, let me know.
	We'll get together.
	Have a beer or something.
	Oh, definitely, man.
	I will let you know.
	All right, man.
	Take care.
	Thanks, bro.
	Appreciate it.
