=== Weekend Show Highlights (01:36) ===

[00:00:01]  Fill her up.
[00:00:02]  You're listening to the Gash Digital Network.
[00:00:08]  We need to roll back the state.
[00:00:10]  We spy on all of our own citizens.
[00:00:12]  Our prisons are flooded with nonviolent drug offenders.
[00:00:16]  If you want to know who America's next enemy is, look at who we're funding right now.
[00:00:22]  Every single one of these problems are a result of government being way too big.
[00:00:26]  You're listening to part of the problem on the Gash Digital Network.
[00:00:30]  Here's your host, Dave Smith.
[00:00:33]  What's up, what's up, everybody?
[00:00:35]  Welcome to a brand new episode of Part of the Problem.
[00:00:38]  I am Dave Smith, also known as the most consistent motherfucker you know, the libertarian Tupac.
[00:00:45]  He is Robbie the Fire Bernstein, the king of the caulks, COVID Jesus.
[00:00:49]  What's up, my brother?
[00:00:51]  Uh, dude, great weekend of shows.
[00:00:52]  Meek hawks showed up.
[00:00:54]  I had a good time.
[00:00:55]  Did they?
[00:00:55]  The Meek Hawks came out strong.
[00:00:57]  They came out for the late show, which was the best one.
[00:00:59]  Late show Saturday night, whole crew rolled in, all dressed like me.
[00:01:02]  It was fun.
[00:01:04]  The Meek Hawks don't wake up till around 9:45 p.m.
[00:01:08]  So you gotta, you gotta wait, but they'll be there.
[00:01:11]  They'll be there.
[00:01:12]  Yeah, it was a blast.
[00:01:14]  Good, good.
[00:01:15]  And where were these shows?
[00:01:16]  Uh, Utica, New York, real middle of nowhere, but I had fun.
[00:01:20]  Oh, yeah.
[00:01:21]  No, I know Utica.
[00:01:22]  I'm familiar.
[00:01:23]  All right.
[00:01:23]  Very nice.
[00:01:24]  What do you got coming up?
[00:01:25]  Uh, this is the big Texas weekend, Fort Worth on Friday, Saturday with Scott Horden, Texas AM on Sunday.
[00:01:31]  And then go to links in the episode description because I got Arizona, Kansas, and Omaha coming up.

=== Meek Hawks Late Night (16:11) ===

[00:01:37]  All right.
[00:01:38]  Sounds good.
[00:01:38]  Of course, me and you are going to be out in Poughkeepsie, New York.
[00:01:41]  We had to make some changes.
[00:01:43]  We're just, we're going to be there Friday, November 25th.
[00:01:46]  It's a one night only now, but two shows.
[00:01:49]  Thanksgiving leftover show.
[00:01:50]  That's right.
[00:01:51]  Day after Thanksgiving.
[00:01:52]  Come on out.
[00:01:53]  I will tell you, the shows are almost sold out already.
[00:01:57]  So grab tickets now because they're moving very fast.
[00:02:00]  We had to cut it down.
[00:02:01]  I apologize for that.
[00:02:03]  Some family stuff came up, but we Friday, November 25th, two shows.
[00:02:07]  Me and you, of course, Rob, and Chris, our good friend Chris from Brooklyn, he will be there as well.
[00:02:15]  And then New Year's Eve, me and Louis Jay Gomez will be out at the comedy store in Los Angeles.
[00:02:20]  So yeah, we'll put all those ticket links up.
[00:02:23]  All right.
[00:02:24]  So let's get into a few things for today's show.
[00:02:27]  Oh, this one's juicy.
[00:02:28]  We got a juicy, a juicy topic to talk about.
[00:02:32]  Leading off.
[00:02:33]  This is.
[00:02:34]  I love it because my two favorite things are gay hookers and politics.
[00:02:37]  So when those two things intersect, it's rare that your worlds collide like this.
[00:02:42]  I'm like Kamala Harris with a Venn diagram.
[00:02:45]  That's how excited I get.
[00:02:46]  Yeah.
[00:02:47]  She loves a Venn diagram with all three circles.
[00:02:50]  You know, it's just, man.
[00:02:52]  By the way, completely off topic.
[00:02:54]  We'll get back into this one.
[00:02:56]  Is Kamala Harris intentionally being retarded?
[00:03:04]  It does seem like this is.
[00:03:07]  I mean, I remember seeing speeches of hers years ago.
[00:03:10]  I'm not saying I was ever impressed by her intellect, but it does seem like she, it's almost like she is intentionally playing an idiotic person.
[00:03:24]  I can't believe she's gotten this bad.
[00:03:27]  You mean like someone gave her the direction of, hey, you got to look, make Biden look good?
[00:03:32]  So she's playing up the retard.
[00:03:34]  Yeah.
[00:03:35]  No, I'm not even, I'm not even speculating that much of what the motivation would be.
[00:03:40]  I'm just saying that she seems to be like she wasn't this cartoonishly stupid in every response that she gave to a question until the last couple of years.
[00:03:54]  Maybe dementia is contagious.
[00:03:57]  Wow.
[00:03:57]  Did we just figure that out?
[00:03:59]  Yeah, she almost comes off autistic, like the way that she obsesses over details that don't seem to be all that exciting.
[00:04:06]  Like, she sounds like a kid talking about trains when she's talking about space or school buses.
[00:04:12]  Yeah, I guess.
[00:04:14]  I don't know.
[00:04:15]  It just comes off like, um, like she's just like almost trying to be stupid.
[00:04:20]  Maybe, I don't know, maybe they've figured out a formula.
[00:04:23]  Like, there's just more stupid people than smart people.
[00:04:26]  And so they actually relate.
[00:04:27]  It's like betterman thing.
[00:04:28]  That's how you get the votes.
[00:04:30]  Yeah.
[00:04:30]  I don't know.
[00:04:31]  Is look, there's a bunch of different theories.
[00:04:34]  You just threw one out there about dementia being contagious.
[00:04:37]  Maybe dementia is like the new pink eye.
[00:04:39]  Everyone can get it.
[00:04:40]  Stay away from people who have it.
[00:04:41]  I don't know.
[00:04:42]  I'm just saying.
[00:04:43]  It's weird.
[00:04:45]  I feel like it's gotten worse and worse.
[00:04:49]  And she's not old enough for it for her to be in mental decline.
[00:04:53]  When you were on Rogan and he was talking about how when men are dating comics and they bring them on the road and they're not ready for it and how they crumble, I thought that was so spot on.
[00:05:04]  And now every time I watch her, it just seems like someone's bombing on stage.
[00:05:08]  It really has that energy where she's like trying to laugh and sell her own point.
[00:05:13]  Come on.
[00:05:13]  Yeah.
[00:05:14]  You guys like school buses, right?
[00:05:16]  I mean, come on.
[00:05:16]  Everyone's on board.
[00:05:17]  School buses.
[00:05:18]  You love school buses.
[00:05:19]  And they're yellow.
[00:05:21]  And we like them because they're yellow and they're buses with wheels.
[00:05:28]  It's so bizarre.
[00:05:29]  So fucking weird.
[00:05:30]  Okay.
[00:05:31]  All right.
[00:05:32]  So, what we want to talk about up front today is this Paul Pelosi story.
[00:05:38]  And I got to tell you, I love this story.
[00:05:43]  And not because he got hit in the head with a hammer.
[00:05:47]  I want to, I want to state very clearly for the record that I am against hitting people in the head with a hammer.
[00:05:56]  I have a record that goes back years of being opposed to hammer dome shots.
[00:06:04]  Okay.
[00:06:05]  So don't do that.
[00:06:06]  Well, from what I understand, this was like the three stooges, and he actually hit himself in the hammer when he was trying to get it out of the guy's asshole.
[00:06:13]  Yeah, it seems it seems like he could have gotten out of it with a good one of these, but whatever.
[00:06:18]  I'm just saying.
[00:06:19]  You've had that happen where you're trying to build something and you whack yourself.
[00:06:22]  Sure.
[00:06:23]  But I'm just saying, if anyone is at home right now, just twirling a hammer up in the air in their hands and catching it and thinking about doming someone with that hammer, please.
[00:06:35]  If you care about me, don't do it.
[00:06:38]  Find another way.
[00:06:39]  Okay.
[00:06:40]  Do not hit people in the head with a hammer.
[00:06:42]  But if you want to lube one up and shove it in your lover's asshole, just be careful that there's not too much friction when you're trying to pull it out, that you hit yourself and knock yourself out with it.
[00:06:51]  If I'll just say, if it is consensual, I cannot make a non-aggression principle-based argument against it.
[00:06:59]  That's all I'm going to say.
[00:07:01]  Okay.
[00:07:01]  But here's why I love this story.
[00:07:05]  I love this story because it touches on something.
[00:07:11]  And the response to it touches on something that I've been talking about for a very long time.
[00:07:18]  So I actually, and I think I was a little bit ahead of the curve on this.
[00:07:23]  Not on everything.
[00:07:24]  There have been things that I've been behind, you know, on and didn't really have my finger on the pulse of and kind of missed.
[00:07:34]  And then things that I like to think that I kind of, when there's things like that, that I, you know, I learn from what's going on and from new facts on the ground.
[00:07:46]  And I try to like grow and evolve and take all of it in.
[00:07:50]  But I remember back in like 2012, this is way before you were on the show, Rob.
[00:07:59]  I think this is before me and you even met each other, or maybe right around the time we met each other.
[00:08:04]  But I remember back when Mike Brancatelli was on the show with me, and we were doing the show in stand-up New York Labs, and no one was listening.
[00:08:17]  We used to get like 2,000 downloads an episode or something like that.
[00:08:22]  And I remember back then talking about just this was like a kind of well, I guess if the basic libertarian insight is like that, the government is a criminal organization, you know, and that, you know, the war, like taxation is theft and war is mass murder and all this stuff, right?
[00:08:50]  Like just call things by their name.
[00:08:52]  This is what it is.
[00:08:54]  And I remember talking even back then, and this was like when Ron Paul was running for president, and it was, you know, just a different time.
[00:09:03]  And it was, if you had said something back then, like, you know, the government is run by lizard people who are pedophiles, who are all that, you know, that would have been like, what the fuck are you talking about?
[00:09:15]  Whereas now that's stuff you hear every day on social media.
[00:09:19]  I mean, the lizard people thing being kind of a joke, but the pedophile thing has a lot more evidence behind it than it did before.
[00:09:26]  But I remember I used to talk about this a lot on the show.
[00:09:29]  And for the few people here, for the 4% of people who are listening now, who used to listen all the way back then, you might remember this.
[00:09:39]  But I used to say that one of the things that's really interesting is that, like, almost the next level of realizing the nature of government.
[00:09:51]  Like, okay, if the first level, you realize what the nature of government is, right?
[00:09:56]  That there are these people who make decisions based on political expediency or based on, you know, profit, based on whatever, you know, will make decisions that will ruin people's lives.
[00:10:18]  And I mean, down to the point where, like, there are, you know, you have like think tanks that are that are funded by weapons companies that will lobby members of Congress to support a war, right?
[00:10:37]  Like, and those members of Congress, they know what those who those think tanks are funded by, and they know what the ramifications of war are, at least for at least a lot of them do.
[00:10:50]  And they'll still support it.
[00:10:52]  Like, once you kind of recognize what the nature of government is, that these are people who will make a calculated decision to drop cluster bombs on children and go, we think, you know, I think that's worth it to make that decision.
[00:11:17]  And once you really start to like internalize this and think about the nature of government, I used to say this, I've been saying this now for at least a decade publicly and thinking it for more than that.
[00:11:31]  It leads to this question that is, who the fuck are these people?
[00:11:40]  You know, like, who are these people who would be a part of this system and wouldn't just be torn up from the inside out by being a part of it?
[00:11:54]  It just wouldn't fuck with them every single day.
[00:11:57]  Now, look, I'm not a perfect human being.
[00:11:59]  Rob, you're not a perfect human being.
[00:12:01]  I'm sure most of the people listening to this, maybe dare I say all the people listening to this, are not perfect human beings.
[00:12:09]  But if you were in that situation, I think it might make it hard for you to lay down at night.
[00:12:16]  You might just be so tormented by the decisions that you had to make that you would just choose something else, which is why every time your wife leaves town, you got to go find gay hookers.
[00:12:27]  Yeah.
[00:12:28]  Were you talking about me or Paul?
[00:12:29]  Because that's true for me too.
[00:12:31]  But I'm just saying.
[00:12:33]  But that would be a question that I would ask over and over again.
[00:12:36]  Like, who are these people?
[00:12:38]  And I remember actually on my first episode ever of Ari Shafir's podcast, which I will say, Skeptic Tank is the podcast that launched me.
[00:12:49]  That was the first podcast I went on and talked my political shit for a very long time.
[00:12:54]  And then Rogan heard me on that.
[00:12:56]  And then he invited me on.
[00:12:57]  And then it, you know, things build up.
[00:13:00]  But that was one of the things I was talking about.
[00:13:03]  And I was talking about Hillary Clinton specifically and the tape that leaked of her talking about the child rapist who she got off and she's laughing while she's talking about it and how she knew he was guilty, but still got him off.
[00:13:19]  And you're like, oh yeah, that's the answer.
[00:13:23]  That's really right there.
[00:13:24]  That's the answer.
[00:13:25]  That's who these people are.
[00:13:27]  And it makes everything make sense.
[00:13:29]  Sociopaths.
[00:13:31]  That's who these people are.
[00:13:33]  They're sociopaths.
[00:13:35]  And whether it's that sociopaths are drawn to these positions in the same way that, you know, why are, you know, pedophiles end up being little league coaches and priests and all of these other jobs.
[00:13:52]  And you're like, well, okay, because if you're a pedophile, what job are you going to try to go get?
[00:13:59]  Okay.
[00:14:00]  Well, you would try to go be a fucking little league coach or a priest or a public school teacher or what, you know what I mean?
[00:14:07]  Like you're going to, you're going to go toward a job where you're around kids.
[00:14:12]  Okay.
[00:14:13]  And trusted, whatever.
[00:14:16]  Or at least you'd be more likely to be drawn to that job.
[00:14:19]  Okay.
[00:14:20]  So part of it is that, yes, if you are a sociopath, you're going to be more drawn to the job of ruling over other human beings.
[00:14:34]  And also that the job of being a politician tends to reward evil more than it rewards good.
[00:14:44]  So there's two forces that are just creating this situation where there's fucked up, fucked up people.
[00:14:52]  Okay.
[00:14:52]  And this is something I've been thinking about for a long time.
[00:14:55]  I think I was a little ahead of the curve on this.
[00:14:59]  What's really, what I love about stories like this is that it seems like back about 10 years ago when I was saying all this shit.
[00:15:10]  And maybe it's just my own, you know, where I've been in life, but I think it's more than that.
[00:15:15]  But it seemed like there just there weren't that many people who were really on the same page.
[00:15:21]  And now it seems like a huge percentage of Americans are on the same page.
[00:15:28]  And they're just like, nope, we don't believe you.
[00:15:30]  We're going to believe the worst about this situation.
[00:15:35]  We're like, I don't care if you tell me that this is what actually happened.
[00:15:39]  Nope, you're lying.
[00:15:41]  I think it's this crazy other thing.
[00:15:43]  And so in that sense, I love the conspiracies that are coming out about all of this stuff.
[00:15:52]  I think it's there's something really beautiful about it.
[00:15:55]  There's nothing really beautiful, not the story itself, which is not beautiful, but the fact that people have such disdain for their political ruling class that they're actually like, I am more likely to believe that everything the media is telling me is a lie, and everything you pretend to be is a lie, and that in fact, there's this completely seedy other thing going on behind the scenes.
[00:16:25]  I will be the first to say, I don't know exactly what happened here.
[00:16:28]  We can get into a little bit of it because it is weird, but I do just think I find something encouraging about that.
[00:16:38]  So, and okay, what do you any thoughts on what I just said or the story itself?
[00:16:44]  So, off the bat, I agree 100%.
[00:16:47]  And to add to that, what I find so interesting is that even conservative news channels were taking the approach, at least up until today, of this is so horrible, what happened, and weren't asking any of the obvious questions.
[00:17:02]  And traditionally, what I'm used to is when there's stories like this, I'm usually the one going, wait a second, bullshit.
[00:17:08]  This was an odd one because it seemed like overwhelmingly the internet was asking the kind of questions that I would be asking.
[00:17:16]  And legacy media, including the more conservative channels like New York Post and Fox News, were 100% towing the line of, oh, this is terrible.
[00:17:25]  And we have to figure out how to get our culture in control.
[00:17:28]  And the more cons, you know, the more liberal ones were jumping on this as, hey, here's the dangers of QAnon.
[00:17:33]  And this is what we've been talking about.
[00:17:35]  And this is why speech is dangerous and we need more censorship.
[00:17:39]  But it was very refreshing to see that despite none of the media reporting any of the obvious questions, the internet had some common sense and jumped right on it.

=== Political Violence Concerns (03:31) ===

[00:17:49]  Yeah, no, that's that's totally true, dude, because I saw this all over the place.
[00:17:53]  It's like conservatism Inc., as they often do, is animated.
[00:18:00]  And this has been a major problem over the last hundred years, you know, but certainly in our lifetimes, that whatever you would call conservatism Inc., I don't know if it's existed for 100 years, but certainly over our lifetimes,
[00:18:14]  it seems like when you're in the midst of a crisis, like when the moment is happening, what they rush to is to make sure they can't be judged by the leftist media.
[00:18:33]  So their first, like, it's almost like their most important objective is to make sure that they can't be called the worst names by the progressive establishment.
[00:18:48]  And like, Jesus Christ, after a while, you're it's like, okay, guys, you're going to be called those names no matter what.
[00:18:57]  So, how about just tell the truth?
[00:18:59]  You know, and but it seems like there was a knee-jerk reaction.
[00:19:03]  I saw Ben Shapiro tweet and other people tweet.
[00:19:05]  Like, it seemed like the knee-jerk reaction was: hey, just so you know, we are against political violence.
[00:19:14]  And obviously, we'll, you know, we'll just accept the premise that this happened because whatever, because of Donald Trump or because of MAGA Republicans or because of something like that, you know?
[00:19:30]  And so, okay, we don't want political violence coming from the left.
[00:19:34]  So, let me show you how much we also agree that we don't want political violence coming from the right.
[00:19:40]  And what I guess then we'll have the moral high ground on being against political violence.
[00:19:49]  But, I mean, is that first off?
[00:19:54]  Is that really going to work like?
[00:19:56]  Is that going to convince anyone on the left that therefore, they should be against political violence too?
[00:20:01]  Or is it just going to be like, no, they're going to justify their own violence and demonize you at every turn?
[00:20:07]  But regardless of any of that, right away when you looked at the story, you were like, this seems like there's a little bit more to it.
[00:20:18]  This doesn't sound right.
[00:20:21]  Like it just doesn't sound right.
[00:20:23]  That, okay.
[00:20:23]  So you have, um, all right, do you want to go over some of the facts of the case?
[00:20:28]  Yeah.
[00:20:28]  So let's just start with to me what the most glaring hole in this story is.
[00:20:33]  Nancy Pelosi is on paper, the third most important person in the country.
[00:20:37]  Yes.
[00:20:38]  Okay.
[00:20:38]  And she's two people.
[00:20:39]  She's two people dying away from being the president of the United States.
[00:20:43]  And she's worth, what, at least 100 million?
[00:20:46]  I think more, but yeah.
[00:20:47]  Okay.
[00:20:48]  But let's say somewhere within the range of 100 to 250 million.
[00:20:51]  She's been, just to be clear, she's been a public servant since I was a teenager, I believe.
[00:21:00]  And she is worth like in, yes, in the nine figures.
[00:21:07]  So my parents.
[00:21:08]  10 figures?
[00:21:09]  Sorry.
[00:21:10]  Go ahead.
[00:21:11]  My parents live in a very residential neighborhood in the middle of Connecticut with close to zero crime.
[00:21:16]  They've never experienced any crime in their life.
[00:21:19]  They're not public figures.

[00:21:20]  Guess what?
[00:21:21]  My dad owns a gun and they got a security alarm system.
[00:21:24]  Costs them all of $50 a night.
[00:21:26]  They set a code when they go to bed.
[00:21:27]  And if someone decides to come through one of the windows, the police are going to be at the house within two minutes.
[00:21:32]  You're telling me that Nancy Pelosi with $250 million as one of the biggest public figures in our country with a lot of enemies doesn't have a single ounce of security in any capacity.
[00:21:45]  Is she that stupid?
[00:21:46]  Does that make sense at all?
[00:21:48]  I mean, there's security cameras outside of her house.
[00:21:51]  You're telling me that she just lives on a public street corner and she doesn't have a security system, a security guard, the cops coming by.
[00:21:59]  She's just, she's just hanging out there.
[00:22:01]  Like, by the way, if that's true, I was joking about this on my show, then she actually is a vampire and she's hoping people will break into her house.
[00:22:08]  Like she's, you know what I mean?
[00:22:09]  She's actually got superpowers where it's like, you become dinner if you break in.
[00:22:13]  And she's like, oh, okay.
[00:22:15]  Like there's just no way that they have zero security.
[00:22:17]  That makes no sense.
[00:22:18]  I don't buy it.
[00:22:19]  All right, guys, let's take a moment and thank our sponsor for today's show, which is CrowdHealth.
[00:22:24]  With CrowdHealth, you can put aside money for health expenses in your own account and even hold part of it in Bitcoin.
[00:22:32]  The best part, if Bitcoin goes up, you get the upside, not big insurance companies.
[00:22:39]  Plus, you'll be a part of the crowd health community who are there to help if a big expense comes up.
[00:22:45]  If you're against the government standing between you and your doctor and you're still going to healthcare.gov for your insurance, then you are part of the problem.
[00:22:55]  Here's why your healthcare bills are so high.
[00:22:57]  The buyers of healthcare, health plans, and the sellers of healthcare, hospital systems, they all want costs to rise.
[00:23:05]  You might be thinking health plans actually want their bills to be higher.
[00:23:11]  And the answer is yes.
[00:23:12]  With Obamacare, they limit the amount of profit that you can make.
[00:23:17]  So $1,000 of monthly premiums, you can only make $150 in profit.
[00:23:22]  That's the rule.
[00:23:23]  Only 15% of your total premium cost can be made in profit.
[00:23:28]  So if they want to make more profit, they need their premiums to rise.
[00:23:32]  It's no wonder that healthcare premiums have been going up and up and up.
[00:23:37]  Health plans are not negotiating for you.
[00:23:40]  But with CrowdHealth, you pay one low monthly total, less than $200 a month most of the time to fund an account that is yours.
[00:23:50]  And you can hold 75% of that in Bitcoin if you want to.
[00:23:54]  You can choose whatever doctor you want.
[00:23:56]  And if you have a big bill, CrowdHealth will crowdfund the bill so you can pay the doctor or the hospital quickly.
[00:24:04]  You have personal care advocates who take care of your questions, kiss big call centers goodbye.
[00:24:10]  Just schedule a call with your care advocate, and you can talk to the same person every time.
[00:24:15]  Stop supporting the broken health insurance system with your hard-earned dollars.
[00:24:20]  Go to joincrowdhealth.com/slash P-O-T-P right now and experience freedom from health insurance by utilizing Bitcoin.
[00:24:30]  Right now, you can get your first six months for just $99 a month.
[00:24:34]  That's almost 50% off the normal price and a lot less than those high-deductible healthcare plans.
[00:24:41]  Just go to crowdhealth.com/slash P-O-TP to sign up one more time.
[00:24:45]  That's crowdhealth.com/slash P-O-T-P.
[00:24:49]  CrowdHealth is not health insurance.
[00:24:51]  It's a totally different way of paying for healthcare.
[00:24:54]  Terms and conditions may apply.
[00:24:56]  All right, let's get back into the show.

=== Media Narrative Questions (15:42) ===

[00:24:58]  So there was a press conference that the police had where they mentioned that on the 911 call, Paul Pelosi talks about knowing the guy, which was weird.
[00:25:13]  There were also reports of a third person in the house who opened the door for the cops.
[00:25:19]  And evidently, this is what's so crazy.
[00:25:23]  When the cops went into the bedroom where this was happening, both of them had hammers in their hands.
[00:25:32]  Both Paul Pelosi and the attacker had hammers.
[00:25:36]  The attacker then grabbed the hammer from Paul Pelosi and hits Paul in the head with a hammer.
[00:25:43]  And the cops then tackle him and take him down.
[00:25:49]  Look, I'm not claiming to know what was going on here.
[00:25:55]  But this is what was reported: that the cops witnessed the assault and that then they took this guy down after he took a hammer from Paul Pelosi.
[00:26:06]  By the way, both of them having hammers and hits him in the head with it.
[00:26:13]  Now, of course, the internet is ablaze with theories about what might be going on here.
[00:26:20]  I don't like getting into this area.
[00:26:22]  I only like, as people who listen to the show know, I only like speculating on these type of things when there's at least something that's like the most reasonable explanation.
[00:26:32]  I will be completely honest.
[00:26:33]  In this case, I do not know what the most reasonable explanation for this is, but the official story does not seem to be adding up.
[00:26:43]  The story that, oh, this is just because the Republicans are so mean, like that just does not seem to be the correct story here.
[00:26:51]  So I don't know.
[00:26:52]  Anything else, Rob, in this thing that you've read or that you think might be the answer here?
[00:26:58]  Well, if this fellow broke into the home and then the cops are there, I don't understand how they're just standing around while the guy's wielding a hammer.
[00:27:07]  That sounds like the kind of situation where someone would get shot by the cops.
[00:27:11]  I just can't like, I just can't imagine that the cops were casually sticking around.
[00:27:15]  Firstly, we know that there were cameras outside the home.
[00:27:18]  And from what I understand, the cops were wearing cameras.
[00:27:20]  So I don't know why that footage hasn't become public.
[00:27:23]  Maybe it will.
[00:27:24]  Right.
[00:27:25]  But if we're going to evaluate the cops reacting to the situation and this guy getting hit with the hammer and a guy breaking in, does it sound like that guy was breaking in or like they were solving a dispute?
[00:27:37]  And so they weren't jumping into action because probably Pelosi told them not to.
[00:27:44]  It doesn't sound to me like these guys were rushing into a crime scene.
[00:27:48]  And also, it's very shady as to how they ended up at the crime scene.
[00:27:53]  And that this is from the New York Post, but they were saying that it was like a general wellness check.
[00:27:58]  Right, right.
[00:27:59]  And that they expedited the general wellness check.
[00:28:02]  But I don't understand why were they doing a general wellness check on Paul Pelosi?
[00:28:06]  No, that doesn't make any sense.
[00:28:07]  And then the phone call itself doesn't make any sense because they said that he didn't want to alert the guy that had broken in to the fact that he had made the call.
[00:28:17]  And so he was like talking cryptically, but the dispatcher was able to figure out that he needed the support.
[00:28:22]  Just doesn't make sense.
[00:28:24]  Yeah.
[00:28:25]  Yeah.
[00:28:26]  And so all of this is very bizarre.
[00:28:29]  But like I said before, what I think is encouraging about this is that I think I just generally speaking, think it's a positive thing when people have zero trust in all of these people.
[00:28:47]  And I think that's, if that's the case, then we're moving in the right direction.
[00:28:53]  Now, what's interesting, though, is how are they going to re-spin this?
[00:28:56]  So their first story is: hey, this crazy QAnon guy broke into the house screaming for Nancy, and it would seem like they did not cover their tracks well enough to possibly present that story.
[00:29:08]  Do they have to come up with a new story, or is this like an Epstein killed himself type thing where it just makes no sense?
[00:29:14]  They never change the narrative.
[00:29:15]  And I guess the world just kind of moves on.
[00:29:18]  I think if we, if they can come up with a new story, then they will.
[00:29:23]  Do you remember Harry Brown?
[00:29:26]  You remember the story?
[00:29:27]  Okay, Harry Brown was the Senate minority leader.
[00:29:31]  And there was a story about how he fell on, I think they said he fell on his Clinton's killed him.
[00:29:40]  No, he's alive.
[00:29:42]  But I believe the official story, go double check me on this, was that he fell on his, what do you call it?
[00:29:53]  The fucking thing you run on with track.
[00:29:56]  Huh?
[00:29:57]  Treadmill?
[00:29:58]  Yes.
[00:29:59]  I think the story was that he fell on his treadmill.
[00:30:02]  And he showed up like to Congress and he had like two black eyes.
[00:30:08]  And I remember always being like, oh, that's weird.
[00:30:11]  That's really weird.
[00:30:13]  That does not make sense.
[00:30:15]  But I don't know.
[00:30:16]  We never really got to the bottom of that.
[00:30:18]  People just kind of forgot about it.
[00:30:20]  And maybe this will be a story like that.
[00:30:22]  But it just, I just want to go back to this theme that I was, I've literally been talking about for fucking 10 years at least.
[00:30:32]  Who are these people?
[00:30:35]  That is the next level that you get to.
[00:30:38]  After being a libertarian, after being like an ANCAP or being any of this shit, that's the next level you go to.
[00:30:44]  Who the fuck are these people?
[00:30:46]  You know, you could read Murray Rothbard's Anatomy of the State and be completely convinced by it.
[00:30:52]  Be like, yeah, you know what?
[00:30:53]  The state is a criminal organization that has a monopoly on the law and understand all of that.
[00:31:03]  And what's the next step, though?
[00:31:05]  Like in any mob movie, you know, you wouldn't even need someone to explain to you.
[00:31:10]  You know, if you were doing a movie about the mob or a show about the mafia or something like that, you'd go, okay, well, what's the mafia?
[00:31:18]  What is it?
[00:31:19]  You're like, okay, well, it's a criminal organization that uses violence and the threats of violence to achieve their ends, their goals.
[00:31:29]  It's like, okay.
[00:31:30]  And what's the next thing you want to ask in that movie or that show?
[00:31:35]  Like, well, who are the people?
[00:31:38]  Right?
[00:31:39]  Who are the people?
[00:31:40]  Okay, well, this guy's Tony Soprano, or this guy's, you know, Whoever, Tony Montagna, or whoever the fucking thing is.
[00:31:48]  It's like, okay, fine.
[00:31:50]  But that's what we need for the story here.
[00:31:53]  Who are these people?
[00:31:56]  And this is what's so interesting about even some of the conspiracies where you go, you know, you ever hear the Richard Nixon tapes about him talking about the Bohemian Grove?
[00:32:09]  Yes.
[00:32:10]  Yeah.
[00:32:10]  And he's like, oh, it was the most faggoty thing I've ever seen in my life.
[00:32:14]  And it was blah, blah, blah.
[00:32:15]  And this all.
[00:32:16]  And then, you know, you see the tapes of them where they're like doing these rituals and shit.
[00:32:20]  And you're like, oh, okay.
[00:32:22]  Well, now there's a whole different layer to the story.
[00:32:26]  Like, it's not just that, like, oh, these people, oh, taxation is theft, which it is, but it's more like, oh, and who are the people directing this taxation?
[00:32:37]  They're the people who have ritualistic, like mock animal sacrifices in their own private, you know, events.
[00:32:47]  That's kind of, that makes it a little bit more interesting.
[00:32:51]  And that's what I find interesting about this.
[00:32:53]  It's like, so many people are just like, wait, what the fuck is going on here?
[00:32:57]  What?
[00:32:59]  And then the absolute refusal to believe what all the authority figures are telling them about what happened here.
[00:33:10]  I like that a lot.
[00:33:11]  By the way, here is, we have a video that I sent over to you, Brian.
[00:33:15]  Here, let's play this.
[00:33:16]  Here's a video of how the media is trying to spend this.
[00:33:20]  Let's play that.
[00:33:23]  I never saw anyone after Steve Scalise was shot by a white now.
[00:33:29]  Just waiting.
[00:33:34]  Okay.
[00:33:35]  Looking at your candidates, Republican candidates have spent more than 116 million on ads that mention Speaker Pelosi by name in this cycle.
[00:33:44]  If this is about the issues, 100% of the time.
[00:33:47]  Why don't you make it about the issues?
[00:33:48]  Why not depersonalize it?
[00:33:51]  It is absolutely.
[00:33:52]  Let's pause it right here.
[00:33:54]  So this is out on Face the Nation today with some Republican.
[00:33:58]  I forget who this guy is.
[00:33:59]  He's some Republican PAC leader or something like that.
[00:34:02]  But they're going, man, you know, Nancy Pelosi's husband was just attacked.
[00:34:06]  Why do you guys have to have this rhetoric that you have?
[00:34:09]  I mean, and he's like, wait a minute, are you really attaching?
[00:34:12]  Like, he says when Steve Scalise was shot, if you don't know, Steve Scalise was a Republican.
[00:34:17]  He was shot by a Bernie Sanders supporter.
[00:34:19]  That was the same thing where Rand Paul was there and had to duck down.
[00:34:23]  And he goes, I don't remember this being a big news story.
[00:34:28]  You know, like, oh, were you guys too mean to Republicans?
[00:34:33]  And that's why this guy shot people, which in fairness doesn't make sense to be the story, right?
[00:34:39]  I don't know.
[00:34:40]  It'd be like, oh, Democrats have a right to, you know, be critical of Republicans and they can't be blamed if some crazy person goes out and shoots them.
[00:34:49]  But right away, she's like, why do so many of these ads mention Nancy Pelosi?
[00:34:55]  And you're like, I mean, I guess the answer might be that she's the fucking speaker of the house.
[00:35:02]  So that's why?
[00:35:04]  Like, what?
[00:35:06]  Why do so many ads mention Joe Biden?
[00:35:09]  Do you think it's connected to the fact that he's the president of the United States of America?
[00:35:14]  But that's, so that's right away what they're trying.
[00:35:16]  This is how the media is trying to use this.
[00:35:20]  And so that, at least if nothing else, even if the official story is completely correct, let's say the official story even is the truth.
[00:35:29]  For a second, let's say for the sake of argument, that it is the Republicans' rhetoric that led to this person going in and breaking into Nancy Pelosi's house and trying to wait for Nancy Pelosi.
[00:35:48]  There were reports that he was asking, where is Nancy?
[00:35:52]  But then there's also Nancy has the bigger dick, so he wasn't feeling fulfilled.
[00:35:57]  Well, but there's also some interesting kind of theories on why he might have been asking that.
[00:36:03]  But let's say that's the truth.
[00:36:05]  It's everything that this woman is saying.
[00:36:08]  It's just their rhetoric, right?
[00:36:10]  Isn't it interesting that no one believes you?
[00:36:16]  See, that in a way to me is like almost the crux of the issue.
[00:36:24]  And that's what really matters here is that you're like, yeah, no one believes you anymore.
[00:36:30]  And why the fuck should they?
[00:36:32]  Because you guys lie about everything.
[00:36:35]  And you're so clearly just trying to use this a week out or whatever we are from the midterm elections.
[00:36:44]  You're going, oh, here's an opportunity to use this.
[00:36:49]  And that's why you shouldn't be believed.
[00:36:52]  And that's why no one is believing you, or at least so many people are not believing you right now.
[00:36:57]  All right, let's keep playing this a little bit.
[00:36:59]  It's about the fact that we have double-digit inflation.
[00:37:02]  It's exploding, exploding cost of living.
[00:37:05]  We've got a crime wave across this country that is a direct proof.
[00:37:08]  We are able to think this needs to change.
[00:37:12]  Why not pull some of these ads?
[00:37:13]  Why not just delete your tweet?
[00:37:15]  I'm sure people like to talk about anything but what the Democrats have done to this country, which quite frankly is exploding cost of living, a crime wave in our major cities that is a result of this defund the police nonsense and cashless bail.
[00:37:28]  I mean, you look at New York City, where you put someone in jail at 9 p.m. for assaulting someone on the street and they're back out on the street at 9 a.m. committing crimes again.
[00:37:37]  You look at my state of Minnesota.
[00:37:40]  Minneapolis has 6,000 assaults since the beginning of the year, Margaret.
[00:37:44]  Those are the issues that are top of mind for every voter in this country.
[00:37:48]  That's why they're going to show up on November 8th, and that's why Republicans are going to win in the midterms.
[00:37:55]  That's what our projections are showing.
[00:37:57]  But I would suggest more pink slips, fewer weapons in our ads in this environment.
[00:38:01]  Sir, thank you for joining us.
[00:38:02]  Face the Nation will be.
[00:38:04]  And then just at the end, because I'd just suggest more, you know, less weapons in the ads.
[00:38:12]  Almost as if it's a given.
[00:38:15]  You know, you see the propaganda there, right?
[00:38:17]  Like just as if it's a given that the ads are the reason why something like this happened, which would be fine, I suppose, if we had any, you know, like even as we talk about this now, and I'm, because I'm trying to be fair, I'm going, I don't know what the reason is why this guy assaulted Nancy Pelosi's husband.
[00:38:41]  I don't know.
[00:38:42]  Maybe he was just jealous that Nancy Pelosi's husband gets to crush that sweet Nancy Pelosi, you know, fake tits every day.
[00:38:52]  Maybe that's just what it is.
[00:38:54]  But that she's going to just almost like present as if it's a given that this is because of Republican ads.
[00:39:08]  This is due to the way you guys are campaigning.
[00:39:12]  Now, if anyone can't look at that and go, oh, this is such obviously bullshit.
[00:39:17]  And what is this?
[00:39:17]  Face the nation on ABC?
[00:39:20]  This is supposed to be like the objective of journalists, right?
[00:39:25]  This is what's beautiful about this situation is that it's showing you, like, as you mentioned earlier, that the fucking internet people are doing way more real reporting than any of the supposed journalists, and that no one's believing this shit anymore.
[00:39:41]  That's what I find encouraging.
[00:39:44]  I would love to see him actually ask her, what in our ads do you think was a personal attack and not a point about policy?
[00:39:52]  And I'm sure they're there, but it's like, if you're going to speak to that there are personal attacks that you think are actually enraging people that they're then stepping to violence as a result of the ad, what exactly is in the ad that you think is escalating?
[00:40:06]  And by the way, even if that was true, it's a big ass crunch tree.
[00:40:10]  And if one crazy person wants to go ahead and do something crazy, that's on that one crazy person.
[00:40:16]  Yeah.
[00:40:17]  Well, and then, of course, you'd have to go, okay, let's compare that to any of the ads against Republicans, you know, and say, and what has the crazy violence against Republicans been?
[00:40:30]  You know, and that's like, they don't want to play this game.
[00:40:34]  They're basically sitting down and going, you guys are being mean and your meanness is becoming too much because of this random thing that happened over there.

[00:42:33]  Okay, so here's another example that has been going super viral over the last week.
[00:42:40]  We were going to talk about this on the last episode, but we ran out of time.
[00:42:43]  We just spent the whole thing on Kanye and the Jews.
[00:42:47]  But here was a reporter from MSNBC who was talking to some Trump supporters doing a little bit of a like, I don't know, focus group.
[00:43:05]  And this is how it went.
[00:43:07]  Mashriano was at the insurrection and he was photographed breaching one of the restricted areas.
[00:43:14]  Is that okay?
[00:43:16]  Which area?
[00:43:17]  Because I saw a video where capital officers were taking away barriers and unlocking doors.
[00:43:23]  So I mean, they opened the gates.
[00:43:26]  So he shouldn't be disqualifying for an elected official in January 6th.
[00:43:31]  He didn't strike anybody.
[00:43:32]  He didn't hurt anybody.
[00:43:34]  And the only one that died was a protester there, not a capital punishment.
[00:43:38]  Unarmed female veteran.
[00:43:40]  That's the only one that died.
[00:43:41]  That's the only one who died.
[00:43:42]  A police officer did die.
[00:43:44]  No.
[00:43:46]  That's not on site.
[00:43:48]  He probably shouldn't have been a police officer.
[00:43:50]  It was one woman.
[00:43:51]  So, what do you make, though, overall of January 6th?
[00:43:54]  I mean, it was watching that footage.
[00:43:55]  It was pretty disturbing.
[00:43:58]  What I'm most impressed by is, I mean, I do this professionally.
[00:44:01]  I follow the news, and I couldn't do as good of a job as these random people, right?
[00:44:07]  This is random people.
[00:44:08]  This is MSNBC trying to make a propaganda piece where I guess either they're trying to showcase how uninformed Trump voters are, or they were actually just trying to get people together because they do these reaction things.
[00:44:20]  How awful.
[00:44:20]  No, it's how awful they are that they don't care about January 6th the way they do.
[00:44:26]  And except that they are very well informed and they're making excellent points about why the MSNBC narrative is total garbage.
[00:44:36]  So unbelievable.
[00:44:37]  But that doesn't that give you some faith in actual humanity and people because it's like we hear so much reporting about these fictional people that are offended by everything that we say and do and all the people that wanted to get vaccinated.
[00:44:49]  And there's like a constant narrative about how fringe our view of the world would be.
[00:44:54]  And then you get some people together and it's like they're not dumbasses.
[00:44:57]  These people are actually informed about what happened on January 6th and they've thought it through.
[00:45:02]  They've watched it.
[00:45:03]  They've gone, yeah, this is not.
[00:45:04]  Yeah, it's wild to me.
[00:45:05]  You know, they know the details.
[00:45:06]  They know who got killed and who wasn't killed and all this stuff.
[00:45:10]  Yeah, yes, 100%.
[00:45:11]  Let's keep playing.
[00:45:14]  I mean, there were people throwing excrement at the walls and it was our, you know, it's the Capitol.
[00:45:18]  It looked a lot like Antifa's action.
[00:45:21]  Except on a much smaller scale, it looked the same as the Black Lives Matter riots.
[00:45:25]  That's what I saw.
[00:45:26]  The similarities between the country burns Kenosha.
[00:45:30]  But so it's okay just because one side that you disagree with.
[00:45:34]  I'm saying Antiva infiltrated.
[00:45:36]  It's good for one, it's good for the other.
[00:45:37]  Anybody harmed anybody, anybody who caused property destruction, that needs to be dealt with.
[00:45:43]  If you're there making your voice heard at the people's house, no less.
[00:45:48]  That's, again, it's a fundamental constitutional right of an American citizen.
[00:45:53]  And people should not be being held political prisoner because of it.
[00:45:58]  For misdemeanors.
[00:45:59]  That's East Germany.
[00:46:00]  That's East Germany.
[00:46:01]  Yeah, that's what's scary.
[00:46:04]  It was an actual fiery but mostly peaceful protest.
[00:46:08]  And the other ones that were the office.
[00:46:10]  Was the protest legitimate in your eyes?
[00:46:14]  Administration, I feel like, is using it as their Reichstag fire.
[00:46:18]  Yeah, that's exactly what they're using it as.
[00:46:22]  The fact that that guy's informed, conservative, and gay is really kryptonite.
[00:46:27]  Yeah, it really is.
[00:46:28]  It's really hard and nervous, too.
[00:46:31]  He's nervous and kind of gay, but just like nailing it with his points.
[00:46:36]  These guys are fucking base, though.
[00:46:37]  He just straight up says the MSNBC people that they're political prisoners.
[00:46:42]  And the lady then goes like a fat Midwestern mom goes, yeah, that's some Nazi Germany shit to be putting these people in jail over free speech.
[00:46:51]  To be technical, I think she said some East Germany shit, which is a commie reference saying they're the commies.
[00:46:57]  But either way, I'll tell you, that was an amazing little segment where it's like, oh, the fact that they aired that and they didn't go, oh, you don't think you guys look really bad in all of this?
[00:47:13]  They're standing up for these bits.
[00:47:15]  They're bringing up points like, I've seen videos where the police were removing the barricades.
[00:47:23]  And the MSNBC lady, Elise Jordan, has no answer for that.
[00:47:28]  And then she's going, but you don't just think this is the most horrible thing ever.
[00:47:32]  And you're like, you think they should be held in solitary confinement?
[00:47:35]  Like, even the people who were, you know, just not really doing anything.
[00:47:39]  And they go, well, what about the people who are doing this or throwing excrement at the wall or blah.
[00:47:46]  And they go, yeah, anyone who is causing property destruction should be, you know, that should be dealt with.

=== Closing Hammer List (01:27) ===

[00:47:53]  But what about all the other people who weren't?
[00:47:56]  And it's like, oh, you think you're the good guy here?
[00:47:59]  So, what I will say in closing for today's episode is that it is encouraging to see that a lot of people, at least, are not buying into the stories that they're fed from the people, the establishment, who are obviously lying to you.
[00:48:20]  That's to me, a positive.
[00:48:23]  It's a positive thing when people are not buying into the narrative that is placed before them, especially when it makes no fucking sense, especially when, as I was saying before, it's being put out there by a criminal organization and a group of people who run the criminal organization who we should want to know a lot more about, a lot more about who they actually are.
[00:48:50]  So that's what I'll say in closing here, Rob.
[00:48:52]  Any final thoughts?
[00:48:55]  What kind of hammers are good to put in my asshole?
[00:48:58]  I'll tell you.
[00:48:59]  I'll give you, I'll send you a list.
[00:49:01]  Okay.
[00:49:02]  I'll send you a list with some links where you can buy them for a very affordable price.
[00:49:07]  Perfect.
[00:49:08]  And speaking of links, go to the episode description because I've got live tour dates this weekend in Texas.
[00:49:13]  Come hang out.
[00:49:14]  Bring your hammers.
[00:49:14]  Let's hang out.
[00:49:17]  There you go.
[00:49:18]  All right, guys.
[00:49:18]  Catch you next time.
[00:49:20]  Peace.
