🔴Game Over: Trump's EU Trade Victory Shows How Stupid "Experts" Really Are 2025-07-28 18:07

Time Text
You have some video over here, and this person's saying this.
You have this sworn testimony from a victim, but you don't have any corroborating.
Guess what?
I'm your corroboration.
Here you go.
Yeah.
You don't know.
I think it comes really poorly with people because she, I mean, recruited and trafficked underage girl for Epstein.
She's just as evil as he is.
I hope she knew and took advantage of that.
But at this point, I guess it does come down to, okay, what sort of carrot do you think is okay to dangle if it puts people away and if it prevents this ring, if it still exists from continuing?
Yeah, because they're still out there.
They're still out there.
Probably still molesting children if that's what all the names were doing that she was talking about.
So in my book, I'm like, listen, I know it's an evil.
I would rather break up the ring than just have this one person off the streets because those other people out there that are buying it, the demand is still there and we know it's going to happen again.
It's just going to be somebody else doing their bidding.
Yeah.
Well, she seems to think that she might just like be getting out, which is not going to happen.
possibility of her getting out has her planning her next venture.
Maxwell's brothel and coffee house.
So that's...
That contract is not finalized.
No, it's not.
Okay?
That's speculation.
Yeah.
We spilled the beans.
What kind of tips are you getting?
Nice.
How dare you, Tim?
And then this set off a firestorm.
You know, Dan Bongino, of course, who was a longtime friend to Rumble there at the FBI, he said on X, during my tenure here as a deputy director of the FBI, I have repeatedly relayed to you the things that are happening.
Or sorry, relayed to you that things are happening.
I have glare on my screen here.
I have to move it.
Okay, there we go.
That might not be immediately visible, but they are happening.
What I have learned in the course of our properly predicated and necessary investigations into these aforementioned matters has shocked me down to my core.
We cannot run a republic like this.
I'll never be the same after learning what I've learned.
So I guess I toss to you guys.
Where do you line up on this and Bongino?
I know a lot of people have been disappointed, but I also know that a lot of people understand his hands are tied.
I also know that the reaction to this has been, stop saying that because we've gotten enough of this and just show us.
Now, this isn't directly in relation to Epstein, to be clear.
He's been pretty clear about that.
Epstein killed himself and the official story is what you should believe.
But this may be related to something else.
What do you guys think?
What do you guys think is there?
And are you holding your breath?
Or I think that with this administration, probably the most disappointing aspect as far as what we expected or maybe promises that have not been delivered upon would be the intelligence community.
Yeah, I think, I mean, I hold Cash a little bit.
I don't know.
I hold him to account a little bit more because he went out there and really went after it before and all the podcasts and you got to release it.
It's got to be one of the first things you do.
You got to turn this place into a museum.
All that stuff.
And then he's the guy and it doesn't seem like any of that has happened.
Now, I understand potentially where Dan is coming from.
He's probably seen some stuff that just is absolutely terrible.
Okay, well, I think your point is also fair.
Okay, well, we got to do something about it.
That's the whole point.
And I think less is more right now.
I would prefer not to hear from those guys at all until it's somebody getting put in jail or some system being revealed that there's some kind of plan or scheme that's going on being revealed and stopped.
Like that's what I want to hear from the FBI on results.
I don't want them on talk shows.
I don't want them going on X and trying to rehab images, which is what I kind of feel like he's doing there, even though it's truthful.
I just don't think it's necessary right now.
Best thing is results, man.
Go get it done.
I think Pam Bondi should be gone.
Somebody else should be in there.
Yeah, Pam Bondi absolutely should be gone.
So make those changes.
Let's just get it done.
It's not that hard.
I just, it's one of those things where I just don't think we're going to get anything with Epstein.
When the binder thing happened, I went, oh, okay.
This is all for show.
Yeah, this is all for show.
Because you know what?
When the binders came out and that was phase one, that was the Democrats doctored Epstein files, too.
Yeah.
So what changed?
Right.
Did Pam Bondi go rogue and basically run out there and say that she had all this information and didn't?
Did Cash Patel and all those guys just kind of go, well, you know, here we're going to release it.
Oh, wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
This is doctored information, so we can't release it.
Did that just surprise people?
Right.
Well, these are also people who don't, you know, they didn't spend any time, for example, with Andrew Breitbart.
If they were just journalists, which they're not, if they were just talking heads, which they're not at this point, they still aren't good at it.
They don't understand how to tease, how to put some information out there so that people refute it and then immediately follow up.
Don't overpromise either.
Gosh.
You know, we know how to do that.
We know how to release something where they go, oh, whether it's Nashville, whether it's the DOJ story, JV Armor, they go, oh, actually, well, this can, and they try and discount it.
And then we have something worse.
Instead, they go out, they overpromise, and they have nothing because they haven't even read their own folders.
It just seems like playing house a little bit.
And I know I'm not putting this all on Dan Bongino at all because he's deputy director, but Cash Patel, a lot more stark than Dan Bongino as far as what he said before versus what he said after.
Pam Bondi, you guys know where I line up on Pam Bondi, and you can go back to her confirmation to see where I line up on Pam Bondi.
I am zero part surprised.
I was hoping to be pleasantly surprised.
I just, I don't, there's nothing I can do about it at this point.
I think it's all been scrubbed.
And I think, hey, like you said, it makes sense.
It's a play from Donald Trump with Maxwell.
Of course, the left is trying to say, oh, he's doing that to try and get to her so he can get his information scrubbed and get favor.
That information would have already been there.
It makes no sense.
Democrats would have had it.
And he made a good point.
Like, they would have had it in 2016-ish.
They would have had it in 2020 when he was running again.
Like, if they would have had it in 2024 to be able to get that information out, like, if it was existing and somebody had it, they could have released it at any time.
With Pan Bondi, you never go full Candace Owens.
Okay.
Just don't do it.
Candace Owens shouldn't go full Candace Owens.
Well, she's gone very full Candace Owens often.
I got so many messages from people that day that we covered it last, was it Friday?
Yeah.
Because I guess I was one of the people who read through the entire pleading or the entire legal document.
Oh, the legal document.
Yeah.
And it's pretty bad.
By the way, George the Greek was telling us that those are usually pretty short filings.
Like, you don't really, you don't have to, and this was like a couple hundred pages or so.
They came with evidence and pictures and all this stuff that she still claims.
Well, either Macrone is a man, in which case Candace has nothing, or Bridget is not a man, in which case she loses.
Now, as to how much will be sort of awarded in damages, I don't know.
I don't think it'll be an Alex Jones type level.
And that, by the way, that was a witch hunt because Alex Jones didn't continue on the Sandy Hook thing, and he already had retracted.
He didn't say, I'm going to stake my reputation on this.
It was a caller who called and said, oh, maybe there is something there.
This guy's an actor.
And he apologized to the families.
Candace Owens is...
You were born a man.
You will die a man.
It's just brutal.
I mean, we'll see how it goes.
Either she has a genome test in her back pocket or she's not thinking.
Which would be brilliant, by the way.
That would be absolutely brilliant.
I'm just not sure that that is what we're going to see out of this.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't.
She doesn't have pockets.
What was that?
She doesn't have any pockets.
No, she doesn't.
Well, her husband does.
Yeah.
Very deep pockets.
He's the lord of pockets.
Yes.
I'm so grateful we married for love.
Is there anything that I missed that they were sending in?
Or is it, if not, we can just take a couple of chats.
Yeah.
Let's take some chats.
I don't know.
Okay.
I mean, they did send in Stephen A. Smith debating Tom Holman, if we want to see that.
Stephen A. Smith?
Yeah, that sounds entertaining.
Oh, my gosh.
Why were those two guys?
Okay, what's the over-under on Stephen A. Smith either improperly using a word or making a word up?
Or doing it angrily.
Oh, that's good.
That's a good.
He always talks that way.
I believe you can.
You speak very matriculately.
You know, that kind of thing.
Is he out short?
He's definitely going to yell.
Yeah, he's definitely going to yell.
He's definitely going to yell.
Well, where were these guys?
I want to see this now.
I got to see this.
Yeah.
Okay.
What people have lamented is the fact that you're supposed to be in pursuit of criminals.
However, we're seeing folks that, according to the elected officials, Karen Bass, the mayor of Los Angeles and others, you have an abundance of citizens in the city that are employed, that pay their taxes, that are law-abiding citizens are not bothering anybody.
Yet they're the ones being detained per se.
What do you say to that?
How prevalent is that of an issue in your mind, or is it much ado about nothing from the mouths of those elected officials?
Well, first of all, they're not law-abiding citizens.
They're illegal areas.
They're entering this country illegally, which is a crime, first of all.
So let's talk about the facts.
The facts, which much of the media isn't covering, you know, I talked to the press yesterday in front of the White House, and this came up, because I said I'm sick and tired of reading the stories that ICE is arresting.
They're not arresting mostly criminals, they're arresting mostly non-criminals, and that we're detaining our detention is mostly non-criminals.
I read one story that says, you know, how dare ICE?
The facts are that less than 1% of illegal aliens are deported from this country.
I guess that's it.
That's it?
No.
It's giving me the longer clip.
You guys told me they argued.
Yeah.
Yeah, that was a teaser.
Come on.
Let's see more.
That's stupid.
I'm not Korean fire drilling this until I see the actual.
No, no, it's not going to happen.
I bet you what he's going to say, and I was going to say, I guess I can do it at this point while they find the real one, is these people are here illegally, which he already did say.
They're saying, okay, less than 1%, which is inaccurate.
But they're also not taking into account the fact that these people are here as a result of open borders and this apology.
This policy, sorry, encourages, and the apologists for this policy encourages the criminal enterprises.
That's where he talked about on this show, that he saw a boy who was baked alive in the back of a trailer, of a truck, the rape trees with panties that are put up there as trophies from these cartels and these coyotes.
That as long as this goes on and people think they can come here and stay here consequence-free, they will take that risk.
And that risk that they take, it drives them into the arms of a criminal underworld that is violent and pervasive.
And there's nothing compassionate or empathetic about that.
I would imagine that's probably where he's going to take it.
But he may also talk about how they cost taxpayer dollars, how they've been given the opportunity to self-deport and come through legally, even with $1,000 as far as a stipend or a voucher for them to travel back.
And if they don't, they are now here of their own volition.
They are breaking the law and they are staying here and it is time for them to go.
I mean, there's a multitude of answers that he can give.
But Stephen A. Smith is so dumb that he's just like, you know what I see as popular now is politics.
So I'm going to get into that even though I do not know a whole...
And I don't know about that, but I'm going to do a real retarded podcast.
I've got some Stephen A. Smith fatigue.
They did.
It's like Pedro Pascal fatigue.
It's just he's in everything.
It's like, just stop.
I don't care what he has to say about politics.
I very, very much don't care what he has to say about sports either, but more so politics.
Yeah.
They sent in the extended clip.
Okay, let's watch these things.
Let's take it from wherever Homan was.
Ish.
First of all.
So let's talk about the facts.
The facts, which much of the media isn't covering.
You know, I talked to the press yesterday in front of the White House, and this came up because I said I'm sick and tired of reading the stories that ICE is arresting.
They're not arresting mostly criminals, they're arresting mostly non-criminals, and that we're detaining, our detention is mostly non-criminals.
I read one story.
It says, you know, how dare ICE?
The facts are that less than 1% of illegal aliens deported from this country were convicted of murder.
I mean, are you kidding me?
So an illegal alien has to commit a murder before it's a meaningful deportation?
That's ridiculous.
There's nothing in immigration law says you got to commit yet another crime beyond illegal entry to be deported.
That's not what the law says at all.
But here are the facts.
I look at the numbers yet.
The majority of those in our detention facilities are criminals.
But now the left is saying they're not criminal enough.
You know, he only has two DUIs.
He's not a murderer.
He's not a rapist.
No, 10,000 people a year die from DUIs.
That's a public safety issue.
If you're in the country legally and you drive on our streets on a DUI, you need to be locked up.
You need to be deported.
That is the way it should be.
So now the media say they're not criminal enough.
But here's a fact.
The majority of those in detention are criminal, have a criminal history.
Who are the rest of the people in our detention?
Because they say they're non-criminal.
So let's talk about who they are.
Number one, they're expedited removal cases.
By law, by federal statute, they're required to be detained.
We don't have a choice.
Mandatory detention.
That's why it's spat out in law.
So they're in our detention.
We don't have a choice.
That's federal law requirement.
The others, a lot of national security threats.
Like we arrested over 300 Iranian nationals.
I don't know if any of them have a criminal history, but they are a national security threat based on solid intelligence.
So, yeah, we're locking up national security threats.
We don't have a criminal charge.
So, that's who else we have in detention.
And lastly, who do you have in detention?
You have people who've had due process at great taxpayer expense.
A federal judge orders them removed.
They come on our radar.
Our job by statute is to execute those orders, remove those people.
That's who's in detention.
People that the courts have ordered us to remove, people that Congress gives the authority to arrest and deport.
But you're talking about criminals, national security threats, mandatory detention by federal law.
That's who's our detention.
It's not discretion.
Let's go arrest an illegal animal.
It has no issue and just lock them up.
We still have to do it.
I'm so curious to see what Steve Waysmith says.
Let's keep going.
And the other ones that are mandatory by statute.
Now, look at who are we arresting?
So I looked at the numbers yesterday.
The last report I saw about 130,000 total interior enforcement arrests by ICE.
90,000 of those were criminals.
Do the math, that's 70%, 69.25%.
70% of those we arrested have a criminal history.
And again, who are the rest of them?
Final order cases who had due process and became confused.
They ignored a corridor.
If you and I ignored a corridor, we'd be in jail.
And national security threats.
We've arrested a lot of national security threats, especially after the Iran conflict.
So that's what we're arresting.
But I've said from day one, Stephen, I said, we'll prioritize public safety threats and national security threats.
But if you're in the country illegally, you're not off the table.
If we find you, especially in sanctuary cities where they force us, as we just discussed, to go into the neighborhood and find somebody they've released, when we find that person, many times they're with others, either at a work site or in the community.
If they're in the country legally, we're not going to tell ICE, ignore the oath you took, ignore the law you're required to enforce, walk away from them.
We're not going to do that.
respectfully, sir, that's you.
And that's why I don't think you hear your name when people are denigrating what's prop, what, what, what's transpiring in this nation in terms of you, This is the thing.
He always kisses the ass like, I don't think people are complaining about Tom Holman.
That's exactly who they're complaining about.
You're not doing it.
You're just not good and you're not honest as a host.
So now he's like, I'll give you a pass, but I'm going to talk about some person, nameless, faceless, nebulous victim who people do not like.
He's just not capable of having an intelligent conversation because he's Stephen A. Smith.
Let's continue.
Holman made a complaint.
Sorry, you made a great point.
I wish you would have expanded on it, but the fact that they have to go into the neighborhoods, into workplaces, it's not because they want to go there.
No.
And these people are complaining.
People in these leftist cities, people in these sanctuary cities are complaining.
The mayors like Karen Bass are complaining that they're doing these.
If they had cooperated, like in other places, you see these in these cities.
They go, why are they going in the neighborhoods in LA and San Diego and Chicago and New York?
Well, because you're not cooperating.
In other cities, law enforcement is cooperating.
They go, oh, you have a warrant for this person?
Right.
Okay, we will help you go execute this warrant at a proper time.
And they make it happen.
Well, you're here illegally and we're going to put you in holdup.
We're going to call ICE and let them come get you.
Yeah, like, for example, let's say, I remember a road in Colorado, where I was being taken over by Venezuelan gangs.
Let's say you go in there.
You're like, okay, we're looking for these gang members.
Okay, knock, knock, okay, we're looking for these people, right?
You have whatever warrants that you need.
You go, okay, and what's your story?
Oh, wait, you're not a criminal as it relates to this gang, but you are here illegally and you are supposed, oh, you missed a court date.
Okay, well, now you have to get in the truck.
What are they supposed to do?
Like, okay, go on your merry way.
Of course, you're more likely to be apprehended if you're in a sanctuary city that has become a haven for criminal gangs, which, by the way, hurts legal immigrants in those areas because they can't reach out to the authorities due to blowback, due to threats to their family.
Let's continue and hear what Stephen A. Smith says because he's an idiot.
What's transpiring in this nation in terms of deportation issues and what have you because however, when you look at folks on the campaign, whether it was the left or the right, you heard folks on the right as Trump was pursuing or regaining the presidency, where they were talking about how the criminals have got to go.
We're going to target them and we're going to go after them.
He can't steel man even his opponent's arguments because he doesn't know them.
People on the Trump side were not saying only criminals.
None of us were saying that.
We were saying this has to change.
15 to 20 million, let's start with them.
We got to the point where we were going, I want every single person who is not here legally to be deported and to have to go through the process.
Let's, of course, prioritize national security threats and criminals.
But he's going, people, the Trump supporters, did not want to deport the abuela.
Yeah, yeah, we did.
We did say that specifically.
And where he's getting confused is where we said something like, hey, where can we find common ground?
Right.
We want everyone that's here illegally to be deported.
Where can we find common ground?
How about the murderers, the rapists, and the assaultee?
Right.
Assaulting people.
Yeah, assaulters.
Yeah, I couldn't think of what is an assaulter?
Assaulter?
I guess.
Yeah, assaultee is a.
A violent maniac.
But let's hear Stephen A. Smith try and present himself as though he has any intellectual capacity, as he, I wouldn't even say straw man, because he's not doing it knowingly.
He's just a moron.
Yeah, and to Holman's point, again, they're all criminals.
Yeah, exactly.
You say that I get where you're coming from.
The difference is, is that the impression was given, everything was in an effort to get the worst of the worst out of the country.
And what folks on the left and folks that are just average American citizens are pointing out is that they don't see that enough of that is happening that quote-unquote innocent civilians in the world.
Hold your wrong NBC didn't talk about those kids that were rescued in Florida.
That's why.
You're going to a school or you're going to their workplace or what have you, and you're taking them away in an effort to deport them.
What do you say to that?
Well, first of all, we don't do operations in schools.
We don't do operations in churches.
I read that all the time, too.
It's a fake story.
But we are prioritizing public safety threats.
That's why the majority of people we arrest are criminals.
The majority of people we're detaining are criminals.
That's just a fact.
But watch what human food.
I can tell you that it just goes nowhere.
Unless there's something I'm missing where you should be like, yeah, well, some people think that that might be harsh.
Right?
Do you think that may be harsh?
I think that when you do your shadow boxing, you're punching a midget dick.
Okay?
I think you are so.
There is some benefit to this, though, Steven.
Yes.
There is some benefit where he is saying the question That the left, he is expressing the concern that the left has and giving Tom Holman his platform to dispel that, to argue it.
So there is some good there.
Yeah, he might be an idiot when it comes to politics, but you know what?
Maybe it led to basketball.
Yeah.
Maybe he got Tom Holman's opinion off basketball.
I know.
No, it is good.
It is good to have that audience see Tom Holman in front of them.
We got Tom Holman on this show so your audience could see him.
And your audience already loved the guy.
The left now gets to see let's hear it from his mouth.
Let's not hear it from a CNN, DNC-backed, huge media company.
Let's do it from effectively as a proxy of that.
Here's the issue.
These people, the left knows that they're losing, right?
You see it with Disney.
You see it with these companies.
You see it with Budweiser.
You see them kind of trying to pull back.
And Stephen A. Smith is aware where the ball is going and that he's losing.
It's like, oh, we got to jump on this.
But, you know, everyone has blind spots.
However, these people are coming in from that corporate media background, or frankly, just a liberal background, a left-leaning background, where they've never actually learned their opponent's position or arguments.
And it's really easy to do that when you just say, oh, opponent's fascist Hitler.
I bet you they wear American Eagle jeans, right?
It's really easy to hold that.
Yeah.
You're like, well, the other view would make me a fascist Nazi.
Right.
So now he's going, okay, so we're seeing the rise of populism.
I got to get on this.
I got to understand why.
Well, you can't.
You spent no time.
It will take you years to catch up.
I mean, if you look at our references every single day, they're always leftist references.
New York Times, right?
Wall Street Journal, New York Post, ABC, NBC, CNN.
These are the references we use because that's where we do our research to know what it is that they're saying.
You are far more equipped with information than someone like a Stephen A. Smith.
And he's not atypical of a leftist, but he does want to make some money now.
And that's what's happened now that sort of, I guess I should say, conservatism, traditionalism is making a comeback.
They realize that they have to adapt or they will become extinct financially.
But they're not willing to do the legwork.
So yeah, I mean, I'm always glad to see people on platforms, but he is a very dumb person.
Speaking of dumb, I went to Medieval Times this weekend.
I was waiting for that.
Yes.
And I was the idiot.
I'm multiple times.
I want to hear the story.
Well, you know, I went with my little one.
Did you volunteer to joust?
No, they don't let you do that anymore.
Oh, that's lame.
No, before we're getting, because we have to kill time because I have to get to like an hour and a half in advance.
And they have the horses in the stables, you know, where you can see them, like there's a glass window.
And this actually happened, and then the day didn't get any better for me.
I was looking at the horse, and so there's the horse, and there's these bars and glass.
But your eye is like a lens.
So depending where your focus is, you kind of can miss what's right in front of you.
And I was talking with the kids and my lady, and I said, I think that's an Arabian horse.
So here's the horse, here's the bars, here's the glass.
And he said, well, how do you know?
I said, well, if you, if you look at, and I was trying to look at his, at its legs and its hooves.
Oh, no.
So I'm going right focus from the horse to the bars, but I completely forgot about the glass.
I'm like, yeah, if you look at their.
And I went full speed because the bars are a good eight inches from the glass.
And to the point where when I hit it, the entire line went, oh, give that glass cleaner a race.
Oh, dude.
And I think I must have been loopy because then I made another horrible mistake later on.
They let the falcon loose.
You know, there's a falconer there who takes his job very seriously, by the way.
I think you have to if you're a falconer.
I think you do.
You can't be all up to the bottom.
It's a burn of prey.
Yeah.
At the end of it, actually, when he throws the treat down for the falcon, like there was a standoff.
The falcon, we thought it was dead.
It got on there and he was trying to bring it back and he was like, oh, God.
And he had to throw out more treats.
We're like, this guy's going to get mauled by these talents.
But what happens is, I guess they were issuing a warning as to what not to do when they released the falcon.
And I was paying attention.
I didn't hear it because my son was asking me a question about his sword and stuff.
And I did know, like, they said bright light up things.
Don't hold up your bright light up sword.
So I'm like, hey, put your short away, put your short away.
And then the falcon does a figure eight.
This is after I probably concussed from hitting the glass.
Does a figure eight around the medieval times?
And my son's really little.
So he's in his chair.
He couldn't really see.
He's like, where is it?
Where's I go?
Oh, it's, it's, it's, see, look, look, it's going around there.
And it's, and it's coming around.
And I'm pointing to my son.
I'm going, see the falcon coming around.
And I'll show you what happened.
So, Josh, you'll be me.
This is exactly what happened.
So I'm sitting there, and my son is sitting here, and I'm pointing at him like the falcon's coming our way.
Yeah.
And I point.
So you point up, the falcon's coming your way.
Oh, look at it.
It's a falcon.
Don't point at the falcon.
It's a bad idea to point at the falcon.
Jesus Christ.
That's what this point is.
Like it's happened before?
Yes.
Don't point at the falcon because it's a bad idea.
And I heard him walking, Jesus Christ.
He's like, I've got more alerts before.
Yeah, and I'm sitting there and I'm like, of course, of course I'm an idiot.
I just hit my face in the glass and I'm like, hey, a perch, a worm for this wild animal.
It's going to come and maul you.
And he's going to just grab my arm and he's like, don't point at the, it's not a good idea to point at the falcon.
I just feel a hand on my arm and I was just an absolute moron.
Like, I had no one to blame but myself.
I'm like, I'm an idiot.
Think of how dumb I have to.
I'm literally pointing like, dude, Falcon.
What does this look like, Falcon?
If you value your eyes, put that finger down.
He was like, he used quite a bit of force to get my arm down.
So you know this has happened before.
Yeah, definitely.
They're like, coat orange.
They didn't sign a waiver for this.
They put a guy on you when you hit your face on the fence, okay?
Or on the glass.
They're like, hey, let's put a guy on this guy.
Let's watch him.
It was just not my best day.
No, that happens.
You know that hockey meme with a kid is just like so excited that like two-year-old or one-year-old.
So we went to something similar to this.
I guess there's like a pirate thing down in Florida when we were on vacation.
Similar, you sit for a show.
Yeah.
You sit for a show and our kids, they thought it was awesome.
But my one-year-old, he was standing up on like the table to see.
And he's just the whole time.
I'm not even kidding.
And we're not showing our kids faces and putting all that stuff out.
I would show you this.
He's like, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
The pirates are running around.
He was like, so into it.
I'm Like, what is he seeing that makes him so excited?
Well, I was the one getting my kids into it.
I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, boo, boo, boo, the blue knight, boo.
And then my son was like, yeah, boo, bow.
And then when our knight got, you know, shanked, he's like, did our knight win?
I'm like, it was a tie.
They all, they all bleeding, making me the victim.
Yeah, exactly.
You also notice when you go to these places, like, the women are all, you know, like, pretty, dressed up as a queen, and the guys are just like, it's like a guy who they saw in a mall with a Pantera t-shirt.
Like, your hair is long enough.
Can you be a king?
Because, like, women want to do theater stuff.
They're like, I work at medieval time.
But the guys, that's not really something you think about.
He doesn't want to tell his friends where he works.
Oh, he wasn't even doing an English accent.
She's like, oh, tell me, Lord, what do we be queen?
And he's like, yeah, fucking knight is a, he's going to fight.
Yeah.
See, his art wasn't in it at all.
Yeah.
It doesn't even care about changing his stars.
No, no, it was.
But it was fun.
I do recommend it.
Everything is so expensive these days.
It is.
It really is.
I see.
And the food was terrible at my place.
I'll be honest.
Miniable Duns is not bad food.
It's not bad food.
They give you a half chicken.
And the guy brought it up, and he was like, hey, do you want hot sauce?
And I was like, no.
No, I don't.
This is surprisingly edible.
Did they give you dessert?
Yeah, which is just like they clearly kick it.
They clearly just kick out these giant pans of cake.
But it was pretty good.
You know, it was a sugar coma, but it was dense.
But I ended up eating a whole chicken because my kids aren't going to eat a half chicken.
They have pork too?
I'm wondering if they have the exact same menu.
I bet they did.
No, they didn't have pork.
You just get what you get.
You get chicken.
No, no, no.
I mean, they gave us what we got too, but they gave us pork as well.
And you have to eat with your hands because there were no utensils in medieval times, but you get a wet wipe.
Dense, there's no, but there's Pepsi.
There's a wet wipe, though.
Yeah, there's a wet wipe.
And even then, you can tell where they gave up because the cake, they did bring out a little plastic fork.
This entire time you've had this.
They could have brought chopsticks.
They were around during medieval times.
What happened?
I guess.
I find it hard to believe that they didn't have any utensils.
I feel like they must have had something.
Yeah.
They did.
They had spoons.
Yeah, they must have had spoons.
Yeah.
Spoons and forks.
They had pitchforks.
They could certainly have small forks for the table if they could have forks for the barn.
Yeah.
I mean, didn't Beauty and the Beast, didn't she, you know, that was a little mermaid find a fork?
That's, I guess, that's.
I mean, there's some oyster shells you could use as a spoon.
Yeah.
They're out there.
There's no way they didn't figure that out.
Like, if you cut something with your hand once, you're like, oh, I could make this with a thing.
They just cut everything with a great axe.
Yeah.
And I got one beer and they were like, that's $25.
I'm like, are you shut?
Yeah, that's true.
Like, oh, well, it's because you get to keep the stein.
I'm like, I don't want this shit.
You don't want it?
Can I just do it?
It's only $11 refills.
I'm like, well, just give me the refill.
Give you this Stein back and you can sell it to some other schmo.
How much for some mead?
Yeah, exactly.
Well, actually, I like mead.
You like mead?
You ever had mead?
Yeah.
I've had me.
Real, like, good meat.
It's just.
Yeah, well, I don't know if it's good.
I haven't liked mead any of the times I've tried the mead.
Well, it's not great.
You wouldn't have fared so well in the medieval days.
I would not have fared well in the medieval day.
I would have been a peasant.
I would have been, I would have been dead.
Yeah.
I would have been, yeah, dude.
I would have been, I mean, I was a pretty good soldier, but we had guns.
I don't think I would have fared well with a sword in the shield.
No, bow and arrow, not going to happen, dude.
I would have been dead by the age of 18.
And wouldn't you have rather, when they had muskets early on, wouldn't you have rather had a bow and arrow than a musket?
I would because of the reload.
If I was proficient in it, yeah.
Yeah, if you were proficient in it.
I mean, wouldn't you?
Yes.
Yeah.
Probably.
I've also been like, hey, can we not stand shoulder to shoulder, guys?
Maybe just turn sideways a little.
Especially if it's a silhouette.
No, that's just Gerald again being dishonorable.
Oh, geez.
Any hole will do.
That's dishonorable.
Making it tougher for your opponent to kill you is dishonorable.
Nope, nope.
Let them have their shot.
We've had ours.
It's a slippery slope.
First, we won't be in single-file formation.
Next, we'll be hiding behind trees.
That's why you guys aren't the rulers of the world anymore.
No, it was very silly.
All right, I have to actually go take a little one to something.
I think we can Korean fire drill this.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And you'll send people, all right i guess we're doing it now That's just me and you, Joe.
I don't think I was supposed to come over here, but hey, you know what?
Go live in the field.
I always feel like such a weirdo when I don't move somewhere in the fire.
Come on, Gerald, dance.
Hold on.
All right.
What the pandas doing?
The pandas know.
Jeez, Gerald, you got a huge dome.
Thanks.
I'm swimming in these headphones.
You should be.
I must have a big brain up there.
I do.
I don't use it very often.
I feel like I've been so stupid today.
I can't find words today.
Yeah, I do too.
I've got it a couple times.
I feel like a lot of people in chat asked me to do it.
You do everything and I tell you to do it.
You're not finding your words.
That was an opportunity.
I've definitely not been finding my words today.
You know, like you're in the middle of a sentence and I know that I'm trying to describe something and then I get to it and I'm like, he doesn't support.
It's the best that I could do, you know, in most of those situations.
I'm like, ah, he's like the biggest supporter.
I don't know.
He's the biggest fan.
You just feel like such an idiot sometimes.
Like, okay, fine.
Whatever.
We'll get moving on.
Really quickly, I want to go to CNN's.
You've got something?
No?
Okay.
I want to go to CNN's coverage really quickly because this EU deal, we talked about this.
We're Americans and I understand that there are politics at play and they're pushing their side.
We're pushing ours.
But when something is absolutely good, like verifiably good for the United States, so much so that the EU and other commentators and people over there are like, ah, it was kind of a tough deal.
And the EU doesn't really get anything out of it.
You have to understand that it's time to kind of go, hey, good job.
Good job getting a deal that we all said you couldn't get.
And that if you got it, it was going to end up causing inflation.
None of these other deals have caused inflation.
So, hey, here we go.
And what they said is the Epstein problems have basically overshadowed this.
And that's not really the read that I'm getting on it from what I've seen.
Yes, there's been some questions about Epstein and some other stuff.
And they're harping on something he said about not having the pleasure of having been to the island without giving you the context.
The context, I believe, was that he's like, yeah, you know, Bill Clinton was On those flight logs, what, 20 times?
He's been on that plane a lot.
I never had the pleasure of going to the island.
Kind of as a barb at Bill Clinton and how they're covering for him.
And yet, they're making it sound like he thought it was a pleasure to be able to go to the island.
Anyway, you're going to see a lot more of that.
And that's disheartening to me because the media is supposed to be pro-America.
And right now, they're not.
I mean, if we were fighting a war, I think they would be doing the same thing.
I don't think they see themselves like that.
I don't think they see themselves as supposing to be pro-American.
Yeah.
But I mean, at some point, we do have to come together.
Like, you know, there are big moments in our history where we come together.
Wars typically do that, right?
So World War I, World War II.
Obviously, wars don't always because we've got Vietnam, which ultimately divides a lot of people.
9-11, the moon landing, big events in our country, both good and bad, bring us together, make us very proud to be American, or it makes us link arms and kind of really lean into our identity as Americans, not Texans and Californians and New Yorkers or Italians and Irish and Anglo-Saxons or anything else, but Americans.
And getting good trade deals, having a good economy, making sure that the world is respecting trade with the United States, that's a good thing.
Now, maybe it's not to the level of some of those other things, but shouldn't it be good enough to say, hey, you know what?
Donald Trump got a pretty good deal from people who said they didn't want to give him a deal.
People that he actually went and talked a lot of crap about initially.
Europe and Canada, those were the two places that I think he spent the most time dogging.
And now Europe has come around.
That should be a good thing.
And it's just sad to.
It should be celebrated.
It should be.
Absolutely.
It should be celebrated.
And this shouldn't be a partisan issue.
And research sent in something.
What did they do?
Oh, no.
Well, remember.
I feel like it's trolling me.
No.
Okay, good.
Do you remember when Tucker Carlson told us how great Russia is and how good the supermarkets are?
The infomercial at the supermarket and the train station with all the paintings and stuff that was actually set up as a, you know.
Right, but nobody toured any of Ukraine's supermarkets or subway stations, so somebody took it upon themselves to go ahead and review it.
Trolleys.
They have trolleys.
And they don't have the coin thing.
If you can just zoom into the wheels, these are.
This is the real thing anyway.
This is the real thing.
Oh my god.
Heck.
They've got bread.
How long is this?
A minute more.
What is it saying to you?
You can hear it and you hear the smell of the seashore.
You hear the rolling waves of the seashore.
The smell?
I'm going to need some fucks at least.
Vegetables.
I've got vegetables yet?
Let's keep going back to the bread.
The bread.
God.
of trolling, obviously.
Yeah.
Average family of four would have in the week, you know, just...
Have to understand, and maybe the only way to do it is just, you know, just fucking destroy your brain with vodka.
Just stuff that the average family of four would have.
After coming out of that store and just, you know, buying 30 bottles of vodka, just stuff that the average family of four would have over the course of a week and the price, the cheap price, I really think to myself, Crimea should be returned to Ukraine.
Ukraine should even get some extra territory, maybe the Rostov region, maybe Kursk region.
So really, I think anybody with a right mind would think, okay, Ukraine should be able to take half of Russia because very good supermarkets here, very good supermarkets in the heart of Kiev.
Beautiful.
This is the Tucker Khalsen logic.
Look, so, and I'm glad that we did that.
I'm glad somebody, I'm glad that we played it.
I'm glad somebody went out and actually did that because my beef with Tucker was not necessarily just the interview, though.
He did basically get like a half-hour monologue to his first question, which was kind of funny.
He couldn't get a word in edgewise.
And I understand that you're, you know, you're in Russia doing this interview, and there are certain things maybe you don't want to ask so that you don't end up never leaving Russia again.
Fine.
There's some difficulties that potentially you could have.
But then to go into do these propaganda videos afterwards about the train station and how it, and literally he's referenced that in several other interviews about how it's nicer in Russia than it is in Washington, D.C. And I think we even talked about it for a second on the show.
And it's like, well, yeah, typically when you have a propaganda city, when you have propaganda zones for people, the travelers internationally to come in, and yeah, you're going to see a lot of nice stuff.
Pyongyang has some pretty nice places too, I hear, right?
Very highly controlled environments.
That's what people had a huge problem with.
He fell for the propaganda and did, it's almost like to get the interview, they said you have to do these propaganda pieces to put out to make Russia look good.
Yeah, it's kind of what it is.
And it's just like, you know, look at him touching that.
Crush that bread.
Have we been making the argument that Russians can't get bread?
That they don't have supermarkets, that they don't have access to food, that they don't have train stations, that some may be good, some may be bad?
Nobody's been making that argument.
We're not making that argument about them now.
Why is that the thing that he chose to do?
And so he lost a lot of credibility, rightfully so.
Also on the claims of, I know it's a fact on so many things, like that certain things are happening and certain people are connected to certain agencies around the world.
When he doesn't have any facts that he presents, there's no link in the description.
Like, you know, it seems possible to do.
I don't know if anybody's actually done it, but link in the description for all your sources would be a great first step for most other people.
Anyway, sorry, that just kind of irritates me.
No, I think that's what they wanted.
Yeah.
I think that Lane sent it in wanting you to get fired up a little bit.
A little bit fired up.
I'm measured.
I'm a measured fired up.
Speaking of fired up, remember that Thailand-Cambodia?
Yeah, they started shooting rockets at each other.
Yeah, apparently Trump solved the problem.
Did he?
Wow.
He just spoke to the acting pro.
Oh, he's busy, man.
That's 9.56 a.m.
So he's killing it.
Well, I mean, he's stopping the killing it, I guess.
I am pleased to announce that after the involvement of President Donald J. Trump, both countries have reached a ceasefire and peace.
I can't do it.
I'll keep working on it.
So congratulations to all.
By ending this war, we have saved thousands of lives.
I have instructed my trade team to restart negotiations on trade now.
He said, I've ended so many wars in just six months of being in the White House.
I love it.
I mean, I feel like if, you know, an asteroid missed the Earth, but like came close enough to make people think about it, he'd put a post out.
What did you say?
Donald J. Trump, President of these United States, Has saved Earth.
We might need it.
I don't know if you saw, but the New York Post reported that some scientists believe that an asteroid headed towards us, towards Earth, could have signs of intelligent life.
On the asteroid?
They're writing the asteroid?
Most people think it's an asteroid, but some scientists, according to the New York Post, It's just bringing aliens to Earth.
Wait, what about the asteroid with the quintillion dollars of gold?
How about we?
That's heading away from Earth.
Well, let's go get it.
Yeah.
It's so funny because, yeah, the...
Could be an alien spacecraft?
Yeah, well, anything could be an alien spacecraft.
I mean, it could be an alien spacecraft.
I don't think it will.
I mean, take a look at stuff.
Keep your eyes peeled, you know, just in case.
If we get that gold asteroid, we just...
Yeah, but we hoard it in the states.
But it'll still affect the market price.
$4 quintillion dollars.
No, it won't.
You don't have to give it away.
It'll be worth like $10.
That's how this works, supply and demand.
The reason gold's valuable is because there's not a lot of it.
If you flood the market with a lot of it.
They just control how much they release.
That's true, but they control how much gold we've released.
Far more.
Same thing.
They were less.
I like my version.
Let's take some chats really quickly before we get it.
Here's the New York one just so you know Josh Flion.
Could be an alien probe.
From Harvard.
Ooh.
Oh, my God.
Prove it.
Why?
Why do they think, hold on, why do they think that it could be an alien probe?
It could be a fucking ham sandwich.
I mean, by that logic, yes, you're right, Tim.
It could be a ham sandwich.
I think it's because of the trajectory.
It appears according to them.
It appears that they are coming into the line of sight with the sun.
That way they could travel here undetected by coming into the sun.
And we detected it?
Line of sight.
It has been detected.
I guess that's a failed mission.
I guess their technology hasn't advanced that far.
It's the third.
You're not going to be laughing in November.
Listen, you mastered space travel, but not detection.
You're like, hey, here's what we're going to do.
I know.
Back what they used to do during the Korean War and every other war that's had freaking planes in the sky.
Let's attack them from the sun and they'll never see us coming, except we did.
Yeah, they came from space.
Anyway.
Pilots would do that.
Pilots would literally do that.
They would attack down from the angle of the sun.
So if the pilot looked up, he would be looking into the sun.
And so they would develop techniques early on just to put their thumb up so they could see if typically it was Japanese fighters that would be doing it.
So anyway, don't you mess with me.
Sneaky bastard.
Yeah.
No, it's a great strategy.
You can't see him coming.
There you go.
Boom.
Well, now we have, you know, better technology so that that tactic is less useful.
That's the theory, though, that our technology is the reason.
All right, whatever.
Chats.
All right.
Unless aliens are in the chat, Josh.
They might be.
They could be among us.
Whatever.
Alien subscribers.
All right.
You're not getting a mug.
It's too far away.
Go.
First reptilian chat from CF1982.
Question for the crew.
With all the talk of inflation, have you noticed that eggs have been taken out of the argument?
Yes.
Went from the eggs will kill the economy to crickets.
Will we ever see a win?
Or will they ever see a win?
Crickets will kill the economy eventually because they'll just eat all of our food.
But nonetheless, yeah, the egg thing went away because so quickly, this is what Stephen was pointing out with the left is that there are these blips.
And if you catch a blip at the right moment, right?
So like a shock to the market or something happens and you just put the price increase out there, you can make it seem like the economic policies of an administration are having an impact that they're not having.
You could do it the other way too, right?
Stuff could naturally go down or something completely unrelated to your policies happens in the world and all of a sudden the price of gas goes down.
You could say, well, see, this is me doing a great job.
But you get to kind of take the wins as a president and say, hey, look, I've done things that you said would actually harm the economy.
They haven't.
You told me egg prices were high.
Now they're down.
I don't think he had in his Rolodex, I'm going to talk about egg prices until they said, you're the reason that egg prices are high.
And he's like, okay, well, I'll take that because I know that this is just a temporary shock to the market.
So now I am going to do some stuff to try to help that.
But I know that when it comes back down, I'll be able to claim that, hey, see, egg prices are down.
They said I was the responsible party here.
So I guess I'm just going to own that and be the responsible party all the way through to the good prices.
I've had three omelets today.
Yes.
I've been celebrating.
I absolutely love a good omelette.
Ooh, I got a flat iron grill now.
I make breakfast outside, baby.
Don't know that I want to be called baby by Josh.
Come on, baby.
Too late.
Oh, boy.
Baby, boy.
Twice.
Three times.
Chad, Chad.
Patty, Chad, Chad.
I call you G baby.
No, Chad.
G baby Morgan.
G baby.
Oh, I want to, can we, if we have enough time, somebody, somebody, this might be too hard.
Somebody tagged me in something.
Tim knows what I'm talking about.
Somebody tagged me in something on X last week, and I don't know how to describe it.
Just send it on your phone.
Yeah, that's riveting.
Okay.
Riveting.
All right, next chat from a message.
Wait, I feel like this has something to do with me.
Yeah.
Dad gum it.
Okay.
Of course it does.
Yeah, it does.
All right.
I shouldn't lean into that.
I should be nicer.
You have a new office, Josh.
Would you talk about the new digs?
You guys wanted some additional furniture, right?
I think approved coming your way, right?
Cheistlange.
Chezlange.
Chezlange.
You're going to get that for us.
I said you can't have anything that sounds French.
Next.
Next chat from Amanda Denise One.
Question for the crew.
Do you think Trump will eliminate income tax because the tariffs are so successful?
They're not that successful.
Would that eliminate the constant negative narrative or would they spin that as bad also?
I don't think you can.
I don't think there's enough revenue.
So the left draws love that the left does love tax.
Yeah.
Because they have to fund, you know, they don't hate tax.
They hate that the rich aren't being taxed.
They talk about it all the time.
Yeah, it's the tax.
Great example.
You want more income tax.
So it's perfect to your point, Josh.
And I think you're absolutely right.
The left saw that Elon Musk is now worth, I guess, over $400 billion.
There was a post about that on X. Yeah, yeah, $400.
And I guess it must be just that Tesla's stock is going up and some other things are happening.
And their immediate response was, this guy is on track to be a trillionaire by 2027.
I'm like, yeah, or he could be broke.
It's possible because it's not like he's got it all sitting in the bank.
It's in stock.
Well, there you're getting his good track record.
Yes, yes, good track record.
And that's fine.
There's nothing wrong with that.
And they're now going, Well, this guy shouldn't be this rich, he could have ended world hunger, he could have done this, he could have solved homelessness.
And I'm like, No, he couldn't have.
He said to the people, I don't remember if it was a UN agency that said this or somebody involved with fighting.
He's like, Give me, he's like, listen, send me the receipts on how, how much if it would cost.
I think it was $6 billion is what I think the number was.
He's like, if it's $6 billion to end hunger forever, I'll do it.
But it's got to be open and it's got to be transparent.
You got to send me the seat.
And the guy was like, Maybe, I don't know if maybe hemmed and hawed and it didn't ever happen.
And that's not, it's not what's going to happen.
Like, you're never going to fully get rid of homelessness.
You're never going to fully solve world hunger.
It's just not going to happen.
Also, make bad choices sometimes.
It's not a liquid cash access.
No, it's not.
But I guarantee you, he would, tomorrow, I think, based on his statements, I shouldn't say guarantee, but based on his statements, it seems like he was genuinely considering it, like if it would really solve the problem.
Now, if it's just going to give people a meal for a year, and that's a good thing, that's a noble thing, but it isn't going to solve the problem.
Guys like that tend to think on the lines of, hey, I'm not just trying to alleviate suffering today.
I'm trying to rid the world of that suffering.
And there are plenty of things that these guys do to help the problems of today, but that wasn't the claim that was being made.
The claim was it's going to end world hunger, period.
What's the judge who survived abortion blocks Trump's Planned Parenthood?
Wait, what?
Ah, it's gone.
I lost the rest of the.
Is that real?
Well, I made up the survived abortion.
Yeah, the lower Chiron disappeared as soon as I was reading it.
Oh, okay.
I was like, well, that's awesome.
I was going to try to bring up something that was on CNN.
Well, thanks.
I appreciate the effort.
Yeah, well, now he's got this guy.
Sorry.
So I don't think there's enough revenue from tariffs and taxes.
It's one of those things where if you, let's say that we shifted tomorrow to a tariffs and value-added tax or something like that, you know, an income tax would come in later.
Oh, we're just going to do 2% for rich people.
Oh, we're going to do 10% for this because we need to do that.
They're always going to find a way to spend your money.
They're always going to want to tax you for it.
I don't know how to solve that problem.
And I don't think that we raise enough revenue from tariffs or the consistent revenue either because a lot of things can change and that money can fluctuate greatly.
I'm sure taxes can too to some degree, but still, I don't know.
Anyway, next chat.
All right.
From our favorite chat designer, Professor Savage Dad.
Question for the crew.
What was the crappiest job you worked when you were young?
This one.
Great.
Because I have to deal with coasters and stickers showing up.
Because of you.
It is.
Because of you.
I know where you sleep.
I have your information.
I will have my message.
You won't show up to his house.
No, I'm not going to do that.
That would be funny, though.
It would be funny, actually, if I was like showing up.
So I went to see F1, the movie, this week.
It was really good.
I liked it.
And as I was walking in, I saw some of our employees and one of them, Nick, I saw coming kind of out of the arcade for kids, which makes sense.
Nick was in there.
I don't know why, but he was there.
Making sure he was in the middle of the day.
And he came walking out and he had on a shirt.
He had the unicorn shirt with my face on it.
It's like his Friday night shirt or something, I guess.
He said he was going to wear it.
And then the kids were like, look, it's the guy.
It's the guy in his shirt.
It's the unicorn.
I'm like, that's a bold-fashioned choice, but I was like, I can't get away from it.
It's just, it's there.
So anyway.
Worst job for me growing up.
I worked for a furniture store.
Good people.
The Burks, good people.
In Yuma, Arizona.
And I had to wear a moose costume.
Really?
And stand outside waving one of those.
In Arizona.
Yeah, during the summer.
Dude, it was awful.
It was awful.
I went in for a break, and there were people that came in.
They're like, we came in just because we saw you out there.
We're not buying anything.
We just felt so bad.
Yeah.
We wanted to come into the air conditioning with you.
It was, yeah.
I did that for a few weeks.
Again, good people, the books who own that store and they pay me well for it.
But geez, it was awful.
There's some rough jobs out there.
I also worked at Dippin Dots for a day and a half.
Oh, it's the ice cream of the future.
Yeah, well, the ice cream of my.
Yeah.
As a kid, I bought it.
When it came into the mall where I grew up in Mesquite, Texas, a towneast mall, I was like, whoa, bro, Dippin' Dots.
Yeah, it's a 35-year-old man.
I'm still buying.
I'm all in.
If I could invest.
You know, you don't have to call it the ice cream of the future every day.
Okay.
One of these days, it's just not.
And it took me a while to figure out.
That's marketing.
You remembered it, didn't you?
Them and Joe's.
Joe's Crab Shack, Free Crab Tomorrow.
You got me.
You got me.
What is Breyer's tagline?
Breyer?
Yeah, Breyer's ice cream.
What is their?
See, you have no clue.
Ice Cream of the Future.
Dippin' Dots, success.
No, I hate it because of it.
Even though they fired me.
It's the opposite effect.
Tim, what about you?
What bad jobs?
Oh, man.
I was just thinking about this.
I'm just kidding on mine, by the way.
I love this job.
Probably a DJ company.
Just the bosses.
Oh, yeah.
It was fun work, but doing the office stuff and editing the videos, the wedding videos and stuff was just beating sometimes.
Yeah.
What about anybody else over there?
Noodles?
Just randos.
Billy.
Go ahead, Billy.
Any Randos?
I worked in a warehouse at a vegetable, vegetable.
Vegetable, I can't even say it.
A produce place.
I pretty much had to clean eggs and unload watermelons off of the truck.
Clean eggs?
What do you mean?
What are you cleaning eggs for?
Well, they'd come in from the farm and you have to run them through this machine that would get all the bird gunk and stuff.
Yeah, it comes out of a chicken's butt, Gerald.
Didn't you know that?
Comes out of the butt.
Does it, Josh?
It's like a butt.
It's a butt area, yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, biology is fun.
I mean, cleaning them off is fun.
Bleaching them and, you know, making them to where they spoil so quickly is not the best thing in the world.
I love eggs just being left out on a countertop.
People see that and they're like, oh, what are you doing?
All I know is eggs were cheaper when Billy was cleaning them.
That's true.
He was cleaning them with his mouth, but that's weird.
It's science.
My first job, it would have been a cool job.
I worked at a ski and scuba shop, except it was when I was like 15 and like even smaller than I am now.
And my gig was like taking the big air canisters and stuff like that.
And I'd just be down there with a big wrench, Like taking the tops off of them so that they could refill them.
And it sucked.
And I broke so many of those stems.
Like it.
You were at a ski and scuba shop, like in the middle, like in Kansas.
Connecticut.
I'm just kidding.
Yeah, ski and scuba, those things go together.
Yeah.
Well, they do in Connecticut.
Well, I guess so.
All right.
Final chat after that.
Actually, you know what?
I didn't get my actual worst job.
It was probably hard.
So it wasn't like a terrible job, but my dad was foundations expert, you know, like foundations for houses.
And he would actually be an expert witness, but he would have to dig under the house and actually measure the foundation and take photos because there's supposed to be a certain width and a certain depth.
And most of the time they skimp on that stuff and everybody knows it.
And that leads to some problems.
And so I would dig those holes for like a summer.
I did that.
But I worked with my dad all growing up.
I like roofed houses in the summertime.
And like, I've done just about everything you can do to a house.
And they all had no air conditioning and no power typically because they were HUD homes that were in the middle of being redone and covering pools.
Like it's just hard, hard labor to do that.
But this wasn't that long ago.
This was probably when I was like 20, 28, 29?
Something like that.
No, that was definitely like I was needing some, like, I was like, I need to get a little bit, you know, sun and some work.
I was doing ministry stuff and that wasn't really paying all the bills.
So anyway, it was a rough job to dig under houses and avoid sprinkler lines and replant gardens.
That's that fun.
It's a lot of work.
So anyway.
All right.
Final chat, and then we're going to go and see you guys tomorrow.
All right.
Final chat from Carfel.
A question for the crew.
Do you think Dan staying as deputy director hints that he still has faith that his goals can be reached?
He damn sure isn't there for clout.
No, this is definitely costing him quite a bit to do that.
And I respect the decision to do it.
I respect the work that I think Dan is trying to do.
I don't know about cash.
Cash seems a little bit more of a wild card for me.
But maybe, maybe he does have hope that he can get some stuff done that is really impactful.
And look, sometimes I will admit, this whole Epstein thing has really looked bad.
It's been something that is not necessarily Dan's fault, though his comments about Epstein killing himself probably didn't do him any favors, especially when he expressed a lot of concern about how accurate those reports were prior to going in and being the deputy director.
And I just don't think that there was any benefit for those guys going out and doing the Fox interview.
They got to get off that kind of idea of reaching out to the masses.
It may convince some people that they're really telling the truth, but most people, it's going to be like, hey, you said something otherwise.
What changed?
You've seen the reports.
Okay, where have you seen stuff that proved it?
Because that's what we're all looking for.
There's a lot of information that doesn't seem to add up.
And I think it ultimately is hurting his reputation.
But things can change.
Either Dan can leave.
We've talked about that being an option.
He basically wipes his hands and said, listen, I came in.
I tried everything that I could, but there's no changing this institution.
It has to be completely taken down.
And I didn't have the power to do that.
Or they've got to make some big moves.
They've got to make some big busts.
They've got to make some big, big moves in changing the structure of the FBI so that the American people start trusting in some of their institutions just a little bit.
We don't have to fully trust in them, but we need to be able to trust just a little bit.
And I think that's one of the reasons that you're seeing the Epstein case really stay top of mind with some people.
It's not everywhere.
I mean, there are a lot of people that are talking about it.
Media is talking about it.
We're talking about it.
A lot of people that pay attention to stuff like this, they're talking about it.
Average Joes probably aren't talking about it nearly as much.
And honestly, I hope that this gets resolved.
I hope that bus get made.
And I hope at least some of those people out of the hundred that Ghillain Maxwell told the Justice Department about actually get put in jail because that's what we need to see to make sure that nobody else is getting harmed by these assholes on the streets.
