The estimate is that 1,000 people will die on the streets of Los Angeles.
I'll tell you, Californians, when they move to Texas, they're shocked.
Their standard of living goes up 40 to 50 percent.
Many of us are leaving not only California, but other liberal states for a better lifestyle for our children.
Failed liberal policies are just simply encouraging the situation.
People just saying we can't put up with this anymore.
You just can't live like this.
So I want to welcome to the studio Will Witt.
Thank you.
People call you also, I've heard, Willette.
Is that true?
That's true.
Well, that's what I used to go by before I transitioned.
Willette.
Willette.
Yeah.
So unknown facts, a lot of people don't know, but yeah.
No, I know that.
By the way, so the last time you were here, I think it was episode 17, and we were shooting in my bedroom, and you were here, and I had shown you some pictures that I had found of you on vacation.
And so what's crazy is I went through your old Instagram profile and I found more pictures of you recently.
So apparently you're actually a pretty small guy.
I am small.
I am small, but big heart.
All right.
So I think we have some of those pictures.
So we have this picture here.
I remember that.
You were looking for your dad.
Do you remember that Dennis?
And he got lost at the park and I saw you.
And I think that's how we met, actually.
Yeah, it was like losing my mom at the grocery store and tugging on someone's leg to help me find them again.
That's basically what that was.
So I appreciate you giving me that.
And that's a real proportion right there.
And I'm not standing on the ledge.
I was actually on a curb.
So you're actually taller than that.
Right.
Yeah.
I thought you were on stilts.
That's you on stilts next to me.
That's true.
This one is a good one.
So this is where you found that toothpick holder and you went and got on and said, take a picture of me.
And you were on it.
So that's not a real elephant.
That's a toothpick holder.
That holds toothpicks?
Yeah, that literally still, you see the nose has a toothpick on the nose and it comes out the front.
It's kind of cool, huh?
It is kind of cool, actually.
Yeah, I don't know what's more impressive.
What were you doing on that?
Well, you know, I love elephants.
That's all I can say.
Yeah, I think we have a couple more, right?
Do we have more?
Oh, yeah, that's the elephants.
That's where it is.
All right.
And then I know we have another one.
So this was you also out.
You know, I love the Hispanic culture, but a lot of them are pretty short.
And what's cool is you really fit in and you had a knack for understanding and appropriating cultures.
Can you tell me what was going on here?
That was a day where I decided to go to Alvera Street and talk with some people about cultural appropriation.
And the Mexicans loved my outfit.
They loved my costume.
And I was totally in with their culture.
Right.
Yeah.
And I also know too that not only are you really big on accepting all the cultures, but also all sexual orientations and creeds.
We had this one picture where you were hanging out with Orlando Bloom.
And somebody, I don't know where this picture came from, but you were hanging out with some people.
What was going on?
What's going on?
What was going on, Orlando Bloom?
I think that was Orlando Bloom right there kissing another Bill Nye or something.
You were there.
That's telling me what was going on.
You know, sometimes in Hollywood, you don't know what happens and you end up in crazy places, you know?
It's a funny place to live.
So that's just what happens.
Yeah, well, hey, hey, you get around and that's really cool.
And so those of you that didn't know Will before this, or you're not familiar with his work, now you kind of can see what he does with his life.
You can kind of see the general stature and what goes on with his.
That basically explains my whole persona.
Those pictures.
Yeah.
Thank you.
And also on the side, apparently, in the midst of all this drama and cultures and sexual orientations, you also made a documentary called Fleeing California, which showcases essentially the corruption and the problems of California.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, so through all those other things, I was able to make this documentary.
It took way longer than expected.
You know, I never went to film school or anything.
I dropped out of school.
And this was the first kind of documentary style thing that I've ever done.
I did it with my cameraman producer, Alex.
And we worked really hard on it.
It took about seven months to finally get to release.
And we're really proud of the final product.
So we're going to look at a clip actually which talks about kind of the differences between Texas and California.
But first, I want to ask you a question.
So do you use protection?
Always.
In all cases?
Yes, mostly on the internet.
Okay, so online.
Okay, let me, have you ever used a VPN?
Yes.
What do you use?
ExpressVPN.
You're not joking.
Not joking.
At all?
No.
Like you genuinely have ExpressVPN.
Genuinely.
I have more respect for you because, and this is a real statement that he's saying because I did not give it to you.
I did not make it for you.
And honestly, that kind of goes to show, I don't know if you actually are online and you are worried about your data being not only stolen, but also just sold to people who want to use it to target you or whatever nefarious plans that are out there.
And maybe you just want more privacy online.
What's really cool is there's something called ExpressVPN, which allows you to essentially take the traffic on your computer and secure it using the special service called Trusted Server that ExpressVPN created.
And it allows you to keep your data from being sold.
And other cheaper VPNs, of course, they do not respect your data.
And sometimes they even sell it themselves.
But ExpressVPN secures all your data and they keep it in a place that basically nobody can get into.
On top of that, do you ever go on Netflix or somewhere and you like there's a show that's like not available or they're taking friends off and it's only available in another country?
Yeah, that's, you know who Hayao Miyazaki is?
Did you sue yourself?
Yeah, close.
He's a Japanese created Spirited Away.
You ever seen that movie?
Oh yeah, I did.
Yeah, but that's available in other countries, but not in America on Netflix.
Right.
And so you can't watch it.
So some of you guys know that frustration where you can't watch something because it's no longer available in your country.
I think Doctor Who as well is only available in the UK right now.
But if you use ExpressVPN, it allows you to link up to a computer server, let's say in the UK, if you want to.
You can select it and you can watch shows that are only available in the UK.
Or I'm sure that movie is probably available in Japan, right?
I think it's France.
Oh, okay.
Well, there's the only, see, there's at least one reason still to go to France, at least virtually.
You can connect to a server there and then you can watch Spirited Away or any show that's available in that country.
You can go to expressvpn.com slash offensive and you can get the first three months free of a year subscription to ExpressVPN, which is basically it's 90 days free.
And so again, use the code expressvpn.com slash offensive, which the links are in the description.
And you can get three months of a year free, protect your data, as well as getting the content you want whenever you want, all for a low price.
Anyway, speaking of high prices, California is pretty damn expensive.
Very.
Yes, it's the most expensive state to live in for sure.
You said you pay like upwards of $2,000 for a 700 square foot apartment?
Yeah, one bedroom apartment, pay upwards of $2,300.
And they just raised my rent to $2,415.
It's two-bedroom, but it's in the birds.
I mean, it's not like in an, it's not a great, this is not, it's not a great area.
Yeah.
It's not nice.
It's, it has character.
It's not the worst area.
Like, everything around us is shut down and there's homeless encampments.
It's a lot worse where I live.
Yeah, that's true.
That's true.
Well, also, it's worse there because you live there.
Anyway, I want to jump into this clip that kind of explains the differences of living in California versus Texas.
And we're going to talk about why the price difference is there.
Over half of Californians are thinking of leaving the state.
And the biggest reason why is the sky-high cost of living.
The cost of living in California is somewhere between 40 and 50% higher than it is in Texas.
Houston, you can get a three-bedroom house for a couple hundred thousand dollars with a backyard.
Your kids can play.
You can throw a ball with your kids in the backyard.
You can have a good school.
All right, so that was Senator Ted Cruz.
First of all, how did you secure a senator?
Break our U.S. connections and we were able to do it.
But we're very grateful for him to do that.
And all the other people we got in the documentary as well to sit down and talk to us.
I mean, some amazing people with amazing ideas.
I'm going to be moving to Texas actually this year because I can instantly change my life and make it better by just moving a few states away.
Why is Texas, quote unquote, so much of a better place to live?
And why is it so much more affordable than California?
Yeah, I mean, there's a myriad of reasons, and it's pretty obvious to see when you look at the, first of all, the business regulatory environment in California versus Texas, you find that the annual business, regulatory business compliance costs for the average small business in California are $135,000 a year.
You know, what small business can afford that when they're at 1% profit margins?
98% of all businesses in California are small businesses.
And this results in the loss of about 3.8 million jobs every year, which is about one in 10 people in California losing their jobs because of these compliance costs, which is just insane.
You don't have that in Texas.
You don't have this red tape, these regulations, like something like you can be your own general contractor in Texas.
There's also no state income tax in Texas, which makes it so that people can invest and afford more things in Texas.
So there's just, there's so many things that just make Texas the place that all Americans want to live because just it's where freedom is.
It's where you can start a family and really build your career.
California used to be that place, but it no longer is.
Yeah, I really can't afford to live here.
I mean, even when we look at income tax, when we look at corporate taxes, I mean, I can instantly save upwards of 10% of my money just by moving instantly.
So if I just cross the state boundaries, for every $10, I get one more of my dollars back in my pocket, not to mention lower cost of energy.
I think it's like 40 to 50% higher.
Someone said here in.
50% higher.
Yeah, 50% higher energy here.
And I know that what's crazy is like, you know, you have Tommy and you have these people and they're wealthier and they know that.
That's the cool thing about conservative people.
You know, like I looked at Tommy Laren's net worth online.
I don't know if it's accurate, but it says she's worth $4 million.
And really, I mean, and good for her.
And I'm really proud of her success.
But California really has become a place simply for the rich to survive and the poor to die.
Yeah, my net worth is $4, so I'm working.
Just drop the million, not even a zero.
You know, people say my net worth is $4 million, drop is zero.
My net worth is $4.
$4.
So, Venmo.
Yeah, no, this is what I said in the trailer, which is different.
I didn't include everything in the trailer, but that California is now a place for the very rich and the very poor.
And Ted Cruz mentioned this as well in the mini documentary where he talks about how these rich tech billionaires and people who own these huge companies in California, these Fortune 500 companies, I mean, they don't care if gallon of gas is $4.50.
It doesn't mean anything to them.
They have private jets.
They have fancy sports cars, million-dollar homes.
Like, none of that stuff means anything to them.
But think about, you know, a content creator or a school teacher or a garbage man.
You know, any of these people working blue-collar or are not huge billionaire people.
Like, these things really matter to them.
It really affects the bottom line.
So middle-class citizens are getting completely shafted by the government in California, and they're all moving out.
Well, remember, it was the Democrat politicians that were mocking the fact that during the tax refund that, oh, Americans are going to get anywhere from like $300 to $1,200 back, not realizing that that's people's entire mortgage for a month.
Like you're mocking as you've made millions of dollars off the backs of the American people like Elizabeth Warren and Nancy Pelosi mocking the fact that, oh, Americans only get a few hundred dollars back or a thousand.
It's like, dude, for most of us, to be honest, the gas changing 30 cents a gallon is feeding ourselves a few meals or our family an extra meal.
And a lot of people are, I think most Americans are probably living month to month, paycheck to paycheck, just trying to survive.
And so it's like California has become a place where what we're going to find out in this next clip is actually, amidst all the flourishing and the richness and the greatness and the beauty, per se, in some of the places, actually a place of extreme poverty.
Right.
California has the highest poverty rate in the country with one in five Californians living below the poverty line.
California has always had the nation's highest poverty rate.
And proportionately, it's about 30% higher than it is in Texas.
And a third of the people on assistance in the nation are in California.
So how is California handling the growing poverty rate in their state?
California spends more than Texas, Arizona, South Dakota, North Dakota, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Oregon, Idaho, Hawaii, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, and Montana on welfare annually combined.
State and local governments have spent a gargantuan amount of money, oftentimes wastefully overlapping each other.
Yet the incredible spending has not alleviated one of California's most vexing problems.
In fact, it seems to have made it worse.
Can I just say, I don't actually drink these, just so you guys know, Elijah got me this for free.
It's really weird that you say you don't drink monster energy drinks and I got it for you for free when your assistant messaged my producer and said one of the things that they required in here was for you to have a monster and a Diet Coke available.
So it's like you act like you're not stuck up and you have problems and that's smart and you have an assistant do it.
But then what's even worse is you come on my show and you request a monster and a Diet Coke, which we go out of our way to pay for.
That's not free, by the way.
That's half of our yearly budget.
That was like $4.75.
This isn't a monster unless it's lukewarm with two ice cubes being served to me by Black Mike.
That's more than your net worth.
It is.
Yeah, this is more than that.
You're almost like mocking the show when we've invested more money than you get paid in a year into your drinks for a day.
And that's the kind of service we provide here.
It's slightly offensive.
We really go above and you were worth just $4.
Thank you.
Thank you for that.
Yeah.
Oh, I didn't even realize Todd was mic'd up and on camera.
It's just so happy.
This is Todd, the producer.
He's amazing.
Todd?
Yeah.
And so that being said, we're not going to talk about it.
Todd go way back.
Yeah, we're not going to compare if Todd could have done a better job on your pod on your documentary, but what we will talk about is the fact that, you know, as much as we talk about the $4 in people's bank accounts, people in California really are in poverty.
And it's not a funny thing.
When you look around, I mean, what's crazy is I was saying, like, my apartment's $2,415 a month.
And you were being serious when you said this is not the nicest area.
Like, I don't want to say ghetto because I don't want to be insensitive.
No, I'm just kidding.
It's ghetto here.
Yeah, it's a little bit.
Yeah, for sure.
It's not the greatest area to be in.
But why are we living in poverty, though?
Why in California, with all this money, with all this wealth, why are a third of Californians living in poverty?
Because that seems not only, that almost seems unbelievable, but it seems like one in five?
Oh, oops.
Okay, sorry.
oh they're on one and third people on national assistance yeah so isn't that poverty still No, no, it is, for sure.
I mean, you're on like food stamps.
No, you're not poor.
You're just on government funding.
Well, no.
So all of the welfare spending in the nation, a third of that is spent in California.
Oh, damn.
Yeah, so that's that.
I got to get my facts straight.
So California spends about $1.03 billion a year on welfare spending and still has one in five people in the state living below the poverty line, which is more than any other state.
It's incredible.
So it's all national assistance funding.
That's even worse.
Yeah.
Oh, it's insane.
Because if it's just one in three Californians, then okay, whatever.
But a third, that means with the whole country's national assistance, it's all one-third of it's coming here.
Yep.
Wow.
I know.
So you can go.
If you go to pregnan.com and watch the full documentary, you'll see, you know, and I think you played as well.
What?
You're telling my viewers how little effort I put into the show.
It's like, well, if you'd watch the whole documentary, you would instead of the clip.
If you wouldn't watch these stupid clips that he had here, you can actually find this out.
Yeah, actually, the link's in the description.
You guys can actually find the link to the whole podcast on Prague.
But the part where it all talks about welfare spending and everything, it's absolutely insane.
And it just goes to show, I mean, it is concrete, hard evidence that leftist policies do not work to fix poverty.
They don't.
The welfare spending and high taxes to make these things happen, they don't fix poverty.
Only freedom can fix poverty.
Right.
And they're backwards.
The point being, I know you didn't want to talk a lot about this, and we're not going to get too deep into this, but there's this article, okay?
And this is a good example of how backwards leftist people are in the States.
So obviously, there's a coronavirus, there's a pandemic, whatever.
It's going on.
No, you know, you haven't heard about it.
Yeah.
I haven't had Wi-Fi, so I've just been chilling away.
Yeah, it's like, I didn't know.
They didn't talk about it on Netflix, so I don't know yet.
But, you know, it didn't take very long, for instance, before this broke out, before we got this lovely article here.
You know, this is what leftists say.
They say, coronavirus Australia, why women will feel the impact more than men.
I mean, already there's a pandemic, there's a crisis, and a normal thinking person would think, how do we respond to this?
How do we act?
How do we behave?
What policies do we put in place to make sure this doesn't get worse?
And the left goes, the coronavirus is sexist against women.
And that's really, and I bring that up as a modern example.
No, this is not a joke, though.
But Australia is pretty left, at least the culture is.
And I got to say this, in California, they don't fix the problems.
They don't talk about the problems.
And the reason why I brought this up is because, you know, we're in this state of emergency here in California, in Los Angeles.
And they're like, there's a pandemic here.
It's like, dude, Eric Garcetti, the mayor, what do you mean there's a problem because of the coronavirus?
You have the literal black plague and typhus and schistosomiasis and diseases in the streets of your city.
You have 60-something thousand homeless in the state, Gather Newsome.
There has been an emergency in this state for a hell of a long time.
You've had a serious problem here.
And now we're barely declaring this, you know, an emergency.
Like Australia, you know, it's like, oh, we have a problem now.
And then it's like, and then what you're focused on is that this is sexist.
Like, get a hold of yourself.
Like, why are they not, why are they not addressing these problems?
And why do we see now with the pandemic, they're able to address a problem.
They have the resources.
But why aren't they actually addressing the problems of homelessness, of crisis?
Like, what's the problem here specifically?
Well, they don't care about it.
You know, think about the Hollywood elites and the big tech billionaires again and these people who own so much of California people living in Beverly Hills, these leftist elites.
The black plague affecting homeless people, that doesn't affect them.
They don't care.
Like, they're not getting the black plague.
You know what I mean?
Like, it doesn't affect them at all.
But something like coronavirus, oh, now Tom Hanks is coronavirus.
They're shutting down the NBA.
And you just.
I just think about it.
Tom Hanks has AIDS.
Yeah, but I think it's like it's in 2020.
We're having a conversation where you can say the phrase, the elites in Beverly Hills don't care about the homeless in the city getting plague.
And this isn't like 1372.
No, it's insane.
This is 2020.
Yeah.
Are they trying to say that because more women are nurses, that they're more likely to infect it?
They'll be infected?
Yeah, I didn't get the argument.
I just know that they were saying they dismissed the whole point of this pandemic.
Gendered norms meant that women were more likely to be infected by the virus because of their predominant roles in both paid and unpaid healthcare.
That's because women go and they talk to each other and stuff.
So they're more like into social, you know?
So they talk and they gossip.
They're just each other too.
Well, that's just in the movie.
I've never met a girl.
That's just in the movies.
That's just Hollywood.
Yeah.
If I meet a girl, I'll ask her.
Yeah, let me know.
I've never met one.
No, me neither.
I don't get them.
No.
Yucky.
That's why I don't have coronavirus.
Yeah.
Disgusting.
But you were saying, I mean, this is the point.
They don't care.
No, they don't care because it doesn't affect their communities.
They can virtue signal and pander as much as they want and say, oh, it's an emergency about all these other things.
But then when it comes to something that might actually affect their lives, it might actually affect their businesses and the things they're working on.
Then, of course, they care.
Then, of course, they say something and, oh, it's a national emergency.
It's a pandemic.
We have to freak out and everyone has to stay in their homes.
But that's only when it affects them.
Right.
And the point is, is that that's where you see the narcissism and the selfishness of the people who are making these policies.
I mean, I mean, I really was blown away by finding, I mean, I'm not, okay, I wasn't blown away by reading an article that said that coronavirus is sexist.
But I am always blown away by the fact of you, when you see in California their capability to actually, you know, fight fires or to do things.
And then what they always do is they just blame somebody else.
They take the focus off.
And it shows you the negligence that they really, they really don't care.
And that brings up the point.
I wanted to get into that.
We are in a state of emergency.
And we have another clip that Todd's going to play here that really shows how bad things have gotten by people ignoring the problem.
One of the issues that I face living here is the fear of the homeless epidemic because a lot of these homeless individuals, they're drug addicts, some are sex offenders, and that's become a huge problem.
There are people defecating on the street right in front of my apartment.
We have syringes there.
We have a lot of issues in California that seem to be blinded to the policies that come out of here.
And I don't think the rest of the nation really understands what's happening in California.
And we see this not only here, not only in Skid Row, but from San Diego all the way on up to Sacramento, San Francisco.
Every city is being impacted by this.
All right.
So, you know, the homelessness is clearly a serious problem.
And it's even somebody like we talked about earlier, even though Tommy's doing well for herself and she's, you know, financially capable, it does still affect the wealthy because it's just a few feet away from where a wealthy person might live.
Even if you live in a $5,000 apartment, there's probably people pissing on the side of your building shooting up, you know, meth and heroin, and the place won't even remove them.
Yeah.
Do you remember that in Hollywood?
We used to at least be neighbors.
People don't realize we used to be neighbors in Hollywood.
Wasn't it crazy?
Did you ever get woken up where like you just hear people like screaming and fighting in the streets?
Do you ever remember that kind of stuff?
Yeah.
No, I mean, I just moved out a week ago.
And so, and it wasn't the voices in my head.
It was actually people.
It was actually people outside screaming and doing horrible things all the time.
I mean, I would walk outside of my apartment, this dude's smoking crack.
And I'm like, there's also, I know it's Hollywood still, but there's still like children.
And there's this Hollywood high school right over by where I used to live at.
And you have all these horrible things happening.
It's really scary and depressing, honestly.
But why is the homelessness so bad here?
The left says it's a housing crisis, like housing availability.
There's not enough houses.
But is that really the truth?
Is that why we have so many homeless people?
Well, there's so much corruption in the government in California as well.
So you have all these different agencies who work to get basically grants to help homelessness, right?
So they get, you know, let's say, for example, I don't know exactly, like let's say they get a million dollars, okay, to go and help homelessness.
And barely any of that money actually goes to fighting homelessness.
It goes to the people who are working with either the nonprofit or the government entity to get the grants.
And then it gets doomed to costs of people and it gets filtered to other things.
Like none of the money actually goes to what it's supposed to be fighting.
So the money problem is a huge thing.
Secondly, the welfare spending is just enabling people to stay homeless.
It doesn't actually make it so that they want to go get a job or work for themselves.
It just makes them want to stay on the street.
I mean, I went there to Skid Row.
We didn't put this in the documentary.
The footage didn't turn out that great.
But we talked to a guy who was a homeless guy and he was from Louisiana and he moved out to Los Angeles to be homeless.
He wasn't homeless in Louisiana, but he moved out to LA to be homeless and live here.
And I was like, what do you, why?
He's like, oh, I just want to see how it went.
I'm like, that is, this is on Skid Row.
I'm like, that is the craziest thing.
I'm like, do you have any...
You came here to see how it went?
Yeah, I'm like, you barely didn't go, I cut to the chase.
It didn't go that well.
No, well, but I mean, I talked to him and I'm like, hey, like, do you have a family like back home?
Like, what do they think?
He's like, oh, yeah, I have two daughters.
They're back home in Louisiana and I left my two daughters to go be homeless.
I'm like, what the hell is wrong with you?
Like, that is absolutely ridiculous.
Like, so many of these homeless people, you know, I don't speak for all of them, okay?
There's a lot of them who got laid off and, you know.
A lot of issues, but a lot of the homeless people are there by choice in California.
Well, they are.
That's what people don't understand.
It's like a lot of these people are transients.
They're not homeless.
They're transients.
Like, the thing is that the programs are in place to help homeless people not be homeless.
We have the funding.
We have the money overall.
We have the programs.
And if you don't want to be homeless, well, I understand things happen.
And I understand there's like there's difficulties still with certain people living in their cars.
And I want to make light of the matter.
A lot of these homeless on the streets, they love the lifestyle.
They're sexually promiscuous.
They shoot up drugs for fun.
That's why I'm laughing because people unsubscribe from this show all the time because I laugh at things I shouldn't laugh at.
And they go, I can't.
You laughed at HIV infections.
And I go, they call it the high five for a reason.
But I just, I laugh because you go, holy crap.
Like, this is a real world that we live in.
People are coming out to California to try out homelessness.
Like, it's a pair of Nikes.
Yeah, exactly.
It's like, how can you do that?
Leave your own two daughters.
You have two daughters.
You left them in Louisiana to go sit on the side of the road and smoke crack.
Like, how can you- Maybe we're missing something.
Maybe crack, maybe we should try crack because if crack is so good that people are on the streets living there, maybe we're the idiots.
Maybe it's all the points.
That's the point of crack.
Like more people are like, don't smoke crack.
It's like, oh, I can see you don't want me to have fun.
Those people, they don't even have to worry.
Okay, boomer.
Don't want me doing crack.
Okay, coomer.
That's already a thing, right?
A coomer?
What is that?
A coomer.
Never heard of her.
Isn't that somebody who doesn't masturbate?
What does that have to do with crack?
I don't know.
Masturbation and crack, guys.
Those of you that finish the whole show every week, this is the kind of good stuff you get at the end.
This is the good stuff.
But I'm saying, but really, isn't it wild that these people, and they always go, oh, yeah, there's not enough houses.
It's like, dude, I've talked to these people.
I talked to a guy.
He said that he just wants to smoke weed and chill in a tent.
That's what he wants to do.
No, I mean, that's like really how it is.
They just want to chill.
Like, there's a lot of them who are there by choice and they choose to be.
And again, California, one reason you can't ignore is the weather.
It's super nice here all the time.
So people would come to a state like this to live if they're moving from a different state.
But also, you know, again, the benefits and just the ease of being homeless here.
The cops don't do anything to you and you're able to just live here freely.
So yeah, it's a real problem.
Not the studio.
People don't realize it's so cold in this studio right now.
You can kind of feel it in your bones.
I'm shaking.
Yeah, I can actually, I know it's like usually it's supposed to be hot in a studio.
It is so cold in here today that like I've been trying to like, that's why I've been playing with things.
I've been wanting to do this the whole time, like rub my hands together because it's freezing.
You do it where like you're so cold and then you like move your arms and it like tingles.
It's like 52 degrees, 48 degrees maybe in here, something like that.
It's like freezing.
It's so cool.
The Blaze really hooking it up.
Yeah, that's our, hey, you know, actually too, to kind of end on this, the Blaze has actually really, really beefed up our provisions, which is why we have a field correspondent too on this show.
Cool.
We tell people it's two different, like it's the same name as me.
Really weird hire.
You know, like we meet somebody will and it's weird.
His name's Elijah as well.
But we got this podcast also got a street interviewer and he goes out and so they were able to like bring on a whole other staff member.
So we were really happy about that.
So they brought on a guy named Elijah.
So they're basically trying to edge you out, basically.
Yeah, well, he's a nice guy.
Yeah.
I had him over.
We spoke.
We've spoken before, I think or two.
But I was going to tell people, like, this channel, they're trying to give variety.
So they offer a podcast and a street guy, too.
And it's really kind of a cool thing.
And I'm really happy that they have that kind of investment in the show.
That's cool.
Well, good for you.
I heard that you also have somebody at Prager named Will who does street interviews.
Yeah, no, he's not.
We don't think he's going to be a good fit.
Well, the question is, is he technically would fit into anything?
Because when you're small, everything fits.
That's true.
Yeah, kids gap is where he shops.
That's all the best deals.
Yeah, he's like, one time I got one into guy, Will, and I want to close on this.
This is a true story, not a lie.
I was asking Will's assistant if we were to bring a sweater here, what size would we bring for you?
And I emailed your assistant after he told me about the monsters.
This is a true story, 100% true.
And he told me that you were a T4.
Is that the Transformer?
No, that's Toddler.
Oh, Toddler 4.
T4 in the section of T1, T2, T3, T4.
T4 sounds like a bad Dodge truck.
You're in a toddler section, which is interesting.
And because of panic buying, people apparently, I don't know what they're, they ran out of toilet paper, so they're buying children's clothes just to supplement.
Like they need some cloth.
So they're buying out the children's clothes just to supplement.
And that's a choice.
I've been wearing this for three weeks.
So, yeah, it's getting a little smelly.
It is pretty small.
And we actually use camera tricks like they use in Lord of the Rings to so he looks like the hobby.
Yeah, so we do it so he looks the same size.
So we have like a camera really close up to him and really far away from me so that it looks like we're the same size.
It's called Force Perspective.
Yeah, Force Perspective.
Todd's a genius.
Anyway, that being said, guys, please check out the documentary that is out now on PragerU.
It's for free.
It's the links are in the description.
Find out more about it.
Share it with friends and family.
It's really short.
It's about 13 minutes, 14 minutes.
Yeah, about 15 minutes, yeah.
Yeah, so it's really short.
So it's good for young people too, or for people who are new to politics or culture ideas that you want to show them what's really going on and what these policies lead to.
So I wanted to, again, remind you to go to expressvpn.com slash offensive in order to support the show, support ExpressVPN, and protect all of your data.
As always, Will, we're not going to shake hands because we social distance, but we can like click, we can click.
Exactly.
Yeah, anyway, have a great rest of the day.
As always, thank you for coming on the show.
Thank you.
And may God bless the United States of America.
I'm signing out.
One, two, three, four.
I walk this empty street on the boulevard of broken trunk.
Todd, where the city sleeps.
And I'm the only one and I walk alone.
I walk alone.
I walk alone.
I walk the only one that walks beside me.
My shallow heart is the only thing that's beating.
I couldn't see it behind his camera.
Todd, I can't see now.
I wish.
No, I can't see the lyrics.
Sometimes I'll see you.
Find me.
Find me.
Until then, I walk alone.
Alright!
That was great.
Good, Todd.
What did you say?
We're just going to end with an analysis.
I want to get everyone's opinion of how well you thought you did overall as an individual and as a group.
But I want to get Austin, go ahead and rate individual performances and then give us a general group.
Like, how could we be a better group, you know?
Well, yeah, social anxiety for me is at an all-time high right now.
I wasn't planning on coming on the show.
I haven't really had coffee.
Kind of just had a slow morning.
No, no, that's satanic, that drink.
I saw a video.
I love me everything.
It makes total sense.
Yeah.
Really?
I wasn't expecting to come on.
And then there was like a singing aspect of the show, which is not really standard operating procedure.
Nothing I've ever experienced.
So I kind of did my own thing.
I had my own performance.
If you look back at the tape, Todd, please help me out in editing.
I really had some moments there.
But in a different way, Will was great.
Will played along nicely too, because imagine coming on the show.
It's like, oh, we're going to start singing now.
Like, for you, I don't know about you.
And me, in my, am I, I'm like, oh, no.
Oh, yeah.
They said I can't get my $4 payment unless I sing.
But yeah, what a good sport.
That was nice.
I'm Rockefeller Records.
If you're listening to this, I'm a free agent.
Yeah.
And these days, it's all about the audience.
People have the influencers and then they become music people or rappers.
It's like, dude, let's just pop.
Hey, here's what we really found out.
Scale it.
The breakout performance this year of something that we didn't know, because he's usually behind the camera, really was Todd.
I have to say, like, honestly, we didn't expect so much to come from him because obviously we didn't know.
He doesn't speak a lot.
You know, not only does he not speak a lot on the show, but in his personal life, like people go, oh, the producers don't really say much on the show.
They only become producers because in general, they don't say anything in life.
So it's kind of like a destiny.
You know what I mean?
Like Todd's just that guy who says nothing.
And I got to say, that voice singled out on its, it's on its own track, too.
So we could single it out and listen to it a little bit.
Did you auto-tune it a little bit?
Put the actual tune.
I can auto-tune the song when I give you the track.
