| Biden mocks Second Amendment supporters, says you need F-16 to take on the government. | ||
| Biden has repeatedly mocked, he's from FoxNews.com, Biden has repeatedly mocked the Second Amendment. | ||
| Let's go down here, let's find the actual quote. | ||
| This is a story by Kyle Morris, a great writer. | ||
| We have to change, Biden said. | ||
| There's a lot of things we can change, but the American people by and large agree, you don't need a weapon of war. | ||
| I'm a second amendment guy. | ||
| I taught it for four years, six years in law school. | ||
| And guess what? | ||
| It doesn't say that you can own any weapon you want. | ||
| It says there are certain weapons that you can't own. | ||
| Even when it was passed, you couldn't own a cannon. | ||
| You can't own a machine gun. | ||
| I know I'm serious. | ||
| You know, I love these guys who say the second amendment is, you know, the tree. | ||
| You know what I love about these guys who say the Second Amendment is, you know, the tree of liberty is water with the blood of patriots. | ||
| Well, you want to do that? | ||
| You want to work against the government? | ||
| You need an F-16. | ||
| You need something else than an AR-15. | ||
| Now, we're also here with, joined with Ron Coleman, who is going to be on the main show tomorrow night, the featured guest, but he happened to be in town, so he brought him in. | ||
| A federal litigator, as we've said before. | ||
| Is that true, by the way? | ||
| Let's just go with the first comment that That those of I mean, I I came here in an f-16. | ||
| You came here the f-16. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| This is wrong. | ||
| Was it parked or did they drop you off? | ||
| It's running actually. | ||
| Oh, it's running, okay. | ||
| You gotta turn that thing. | ||
| That's good. | ||
| Yeah, it's gonna be. | ||
| That's gonna disturb the chicken. | ||
| But you said you were cold in here. | ||
| Well, not me because I have the beanie. | ||
| Oh, you do have it. | ||
| Yes, I do. | ||
| Now he's not the only one in a beanie. | ||
| But this idea. | ||
| First of all, About the Second Amendment saying you can't have these things. | ||
| The idea of him teaching law school is even more terrifying than the idea of his interpretation of the Second Amendment. | ||
| What you read, Jack, makes it sound as if he seems to think that the F-16 provision of the Constitution, that the Second Amendment Says you can't have a cannon! | ||
| That's factually not true. | ||
| There was a merchant who had a ship with cannons on it and he wrote a letter asking one of the founders if he could have them and he said, yes, you can! | ||
| So Biden's literally blatantly wrong! | ||
| But there's also no list of what weapons you can have and can't have in the Second Amendment. | ||
| If he means to say that from the very beginning there were regulations and there was a limit, then I'd like to know Well, he got that also, but he sure as hell didn't get it in the Constitution. | ||
| Also, if Biden is correct and it would be impossible for the American people to fight an effective insurgency against a tyrannical government without F-16s, what he's saying is we need to expand the Second Amendment to allow average Americans to own F-16s because the entire purpose of the Second Amendment is for people to be able to fight back against tyranny. | ||
| I don't think we actually need F-16s to fight tyranny if it comes to that. | ||
| But I understand that there is a program being considered now by the federal government to provide each new undocumented immigrant with an F-16. | ||
| Excuse me, that's an outdated term. | ||
| The term is friend we haven't made yet. | ||
| And what better way to make friends than with F-16s? | ||
| But I agree, give them F-16s, absolutely. | ||
| As they say, you know, good F-16s make good neighbors. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, on the contrary of that, though, we have Gavin Newsom, right? | |
| We were talking about it earlier. | ||
| What has he just presented? | ||
| Amendment number 29, I think it is? | ||
| I think so. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Like, hey, it's time to amend the 29 so that we can amend the second? | |
| You know, it's kind of insane. | ||
| And what's really weird to me—I don't think we touched about this on the main show—was that it's him that presented this amendment. | ||
| Why wouldn't it be Biden? | ||
| He's running for re-election. | ||
| We were kind of talking about that, right? | ||
| Yeah, I was going to go back to you on that. | ||
| I was going to go back to you on that. | ||
| Do you think, you know, I mean, you're there in California. | ||
| Do you think, here's my read on it, that Newsom is, he's not willing to do the RFK thing and say, I'm going to primary a sitting president, but he's sort of waving his hand saying, You know, I'm here. | ||
| I'm here if you need me. | ||
| Put me in, coach. | ||
| I'm going on Hannity. | ||
| I'm willing to go toe-to-toe. | ||
| And it's a really pointed question because we know who they don't want to be the nominee. | ||
| Is RFK. | ||
| Well, not only RFK. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I actually have a really good scenario for this. | |
| Not for us, of course, but just the best case scenario for that is that Gavin Newsom is doing what, in my opinion, Ron DeSantis should have done. | ||
| He should have been like, I'm waiting my turn, if you guys need me, you know, etc. | ||
| But of course, Ron DeSantis decided to run, and I think he shot himself in the foot for any potential real scenario for 2028. | ||
| But here's what I think is happening. | ||
| I think the DNC is scared about what's happening with Donald Trump and the indictments and what they are doing. | ||
| I think if you are a common sense person, you understand that what they're doing to Donald Trump is because you're pulling out all the stops to stop this guy. | ||
| And I think that the DNC is willing to even sacrifice one of their own, and it's going to be Joe Biden. | ||
| It's going to come at this charisma trial. | ||
| You think they need like a stronger guy to come in? | ||
| Well, that's what I thought they were doing in 2020 though. | ||
| I thought they were trying to find a burner candidate because they didn't think they had it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, Joe Biden's already in the inside. | |
| He's got a lot of political connections. | ||
| I mean, foreign, whatever. | ||
| There's a lot of political entities abroad that can help this guy win presidency. | ||
| There's a lot of investment in the Biden brand. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But you brought up a good point. | |
| How do you get rid of Kamala Harris? | ||
| So I feel like I put a piece to the puzzle. | ||
| One of the reasons, and I heard this on The Five, on Fox News, and it was a Democrat talking, and she was saying, there's no possible real scenario where the black community is going to accept that Kamala Harris is not going to be next in line if they were to get rid of Joe Biden. | ||
| The black community? | ||
| Do you think that's true? | ||
| I don't buy that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I agree. | |
| I'm skeptical of that, dude. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no, but what I am saying is they're still going to vote Democrat because they vote blue. | |
| They're going to vote blue no matter who. | ||
| But what I am saying is they're going to demand that it be her next. | ||
| So here's what you can do. | ||
| What you'll try to do is you come after Trump and you sacrifice Joe Biden. | ||
| Well, now what happens with Kamala Harris? | ||
| Well, with Kamala Harris, you just replace her with another black woman. | ||
| I can't think of a more powerful ticket, whether it's 2024 or 2028, than Gavin Newsom And Michelle Obama. | ||
| But who would be president? | ||
| Michelle or Gavin? | ||
| Wouldn't Michelle run for president? | ||
| No, I don't think so. | ||
|
unidentified
|
She'll be vice president. | |
| She'll be Gavin Newsom's VP pick. | ||
| So the Democrats have actually been losing the black vote gradually since Obama's term ended. | ||
| No, it's true. | ||
| Historic numbers of black people voted for Trump. | ||
| Historic numbers of black people voted for Trump the second time. | ||
| Biden actually got nowhere near a majority. | ||
| Nowhere near majority. | ||
| That's absolutely correct. | ||
| But it doesn't need to be majority. | ||
| If it falls beneath 50 or 85 percent of the black population voting Democrat, they can't win. | ||
| And it's approaching that. | ||
| It's actually approaching that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But the thing is, is that if you sell Democrats a Biden Kamala, it's already pretty unfavorable. | |
| But if you give them Gavin Newsom and Michelle Obama, I'm telling you because I hear it from people all the time. | ||
| One thing about people in California is People that show up for the community are the people that matter to them. | ||
| I'll be honest, even sometimes podcasts are just not effective because people in the inner city, they're not... Who's this guy talking about? | ||
| Ron's sitting here, Ron's sitting here looking at me like, cut this guy's mic! | ||
| What do you mean podcasts aren't effective? | ||
| Throw him out of here! | ||
|
unidentified
|
But what I mean is for the average voter. | |
| If I go to a street vendor, if I go get tacos, I'm not going to tell the lady that I came. | ||
| Wow, stereotypical. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, hey, this is my community. | |
| I'm just saying, the people that show up, the people that knock on doors, the people that show their faces, look, Republicans are not known. | ||
| Well, Republicans are not known for coming up to show up to these inner-city places. | ||
| They just don't campaign. | ||
| Donald Trump, the only reason he came to California was to fundraise. | ||
| And again, no fault to them, but they just ride off California. | ||
| No, you know what, though? | ||
| Here's what I think. | ||
| I think, to both of your points, I think that one of the reasons that they have invested so heavily, and we're going to get back to the F-16s, don't worry, but one of the reasons that they've invested so heavily in these ballot operations that they've switched the Format that which we hold elections they we've gone from the the civic community ritual of an election day where people go out when I remember going with my father to the local middle school in the gymnasium and you're waiting in line you had the actual levers and you knew the people that was the original voter ID | ||
| The original voter ID election integrity was that you knew the people working the polls. | ||
| They said, Hey John, how's your boy Jack? | ||
| What are you doing? | ||
| Oh, where's Lori? | ||
| She's still at work. | ||
| She's coming when she's off shift. | ||
| Great. | ||
| And you know, hope to see your, you know, the other kids. | ||
| And then when I got older and I started voting, they said, Hey Jack, I saw your dad earlier. | ||
| So your mom came by, is your brother coming in? | ||
| You know, it's like, it's, it's, you know, the people, right. | ||
| They've, they've done away with that completely because now it's all about ballots. | ||
| It's just about ballots. | ||
| And a ballot is if you can just get anybody To fill out one of those ballots, and then you're paying people to go door-to-door with these ballots in targeted neighborhoods. | ||
| That is why they've switched all this, because in order to do that, look, now you're just paying for votes. | ||
| I find it morally repugnant, but you know what? | ||
| It's effective. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And it's legal. | |
| Once again, people are reduced to what they can provide to us, right? | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| There is not a relationship between yourself and the person in the poll. | ||
| Have the Democrats ever looked at it otherwise? | ||
| Never, ever. | ||
| They're materialists, right? | ||
| Man is just a machine. | ||
| Right. | ||
| What does he give me? | ||
| What does that machine give me? | ||
| Speaking of machines, I do want to get into the more salacious topic at hand of the question of an insurgency in the United States against the U.S. | ||
| government. | ||
| Logistically, Red Dawn is a movie that... Documentary, actually. | ||
| Pre-documentary. | ||
| No, obviously, that's about the Soviet Union with the great... | ||
| The father of the great Amanda Milius, John Milius, made the film. | ||
| Incredible, incredible writer, director, filmmaker. | ||
| He also wrote Apocalypse Now. | ||
| He's behind the HBO series, Rome, which is absolutely fantastic. | ||
| One of the last mainstream things they let him write. | ||
| Huge shout out to them. | ||
| But no, obviously that's the Soviet Union, that's the Red Army, et cetera. | ||
| But what we're still talking about is a military force versus- Civilian population. | ||
| A civilian population, kids, a town, hunters in the woods. | ||
| And there's one thing we know now is that people used to say, well, listen, American troops will never fire on American civilians. | ||
| That'll never happen. | ||
|

| Every single one of these... Killed protesters at the US Capitol? | ||
| Every one of these uniformed services has shown that they just follow orders and protect pensions. | ||
| That's their priority. | ||
| So you have to definitely look at authority as As a lawyer, I cannot speak quite as freely as some other people around this table might. | ||
| Even, you know, even in closed sessions such as we are right, you know, today. | ||
| But point being is you've seen, we've seen, we've all seen the ability of police and I say this as someone who, and to your point that, you know, I don't think we can get rid of this system. | ||
| I think we should take over the system. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Correct. | |
| And use it for our own design, our own purposes. | ||
| Because I generally think that this idea of, oh, just run off into the hinterlands and they'll leave us alone, it's just such a losing argument. | ||
| It's not going to work. | ||
| What's the whole live and let live? | ||
| You need to fight back. | ||
| You need to fight to take over the system. | ||
| Now, obviously, you have to be smart about that. | ||
| And if you're living in a shooting gallery, then that's probably not a good base of operations for your Your political counterinsurgency. | ||
| But, you know, Seamus, you and I were talking earlier about a potential actual insurgency. | ||
| We basically wrote the script in the next Red Dawn. | ||
| Which is exactly what people have been saying about you, Jack, for how long? | ||
| For quite some time. | ||
| Next great screenwriter. | ||
| So what would be a better move? | ||
| Actually, if you look at my current, you know, from your friends at the SPLC, I believe their current, their current, how many, you're suing them how many times right now? | ||
| Well, let's measure it by years. | ||
| How many years, yeah. | ||
| Their current, the first line is, a leader of the anti-democracy hard right. | ||
| Wow, that's great, better than my Wikipedia. | ||
| Really good, honestly. | ||
| I know, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I want that on my cards if I had cards. | |
| They called you based in monarchy pills? | ||
| So what Biden's talking about is an actual insurgency against the United States military. | ||
| And I'm going to come out and play devil's advocate here to an extent and say, look, I know there's a lot of people that say, hey man, 2A, let's go, let's roll, let's do it. | ||
| I just don't think that wide swaths of the country are conducive to an insurgency against the U.S. | ||
| government. | ||
| This is the most powerful government in human history, the most powerful military in human history. | ||
| They will largely be able to take over every major city very quickly, any area that has a large military base. | ||
| And coordination would be impossible. | ||
| Coordination would be absolutely impossible. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Bombs would be down immediately. | |
| Immediately. | ||
| So you would have areas like Appalachia, which would be potentially, you know, sort of like a readout, right, if you will. | ||
| It's kind of like, like there are areas like, well there are areas, like this is why insurgencies were, that the geographies of Vietnam, the geography of Afghanistan, so jungles, mountains, desert, that were conducive, well mountainous desert, were conducive to insurgency. | ||
| Whereas Southern Columbia has a huge rebel problem because it's just dense juggle, canopies. | ||
| This comes up in Sound of Freedom. | ||
| Actually they have to go into rebel areas because one of the girls that they're tracking was actually sold to the rebels and they realized that she's not even with the original group of pedophiles, that they sold her out to the rebel group so they've got to go into like FARC and all this. | ||
| Rebel Controlled Air. | ||
| It's, you know, some cool action scenes, actually, in that part with, you know, Jim Caviezel and everything. | ||
| Yeah, I gotta see this. | ||
| This sounds... It's very... I mean, it's tough. | ||
| There's tough scenes, but then it gets into pretty good action towards the end. | ||
| But anyway, point being is that, yeah, there would be parts of the U.S. | ||
| that would hold out longer, I suppose, but that's not a majority. | ||
| Yeah, I don't think so. | ||
| So, hold on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't think there would be a single state that would... Bunch of naysayers. | |
| Two things. | ||
| A bunch of naysayers who hate America. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no, no. | |
| Here's the reality. | ||
| Two things lead me to that. | ||
| January 6th. | ||
| All we did, I mean, there's literally Meemaw carrying an American flag and that was condemned by people like Ted Cruz out of Texas saying that we are domestic terrorists for going in the Capitol. | ||
| To this day, I have never condemned what happened on January 6th. | ||
| None of the events. | ||
| Because, look, if you're a real 1776er and you want to say, oh, if it was George Washington leading, I would be right there with him. | ||
| I mean, think about this really today. | ||
| Put out this scenario. | ||
| George Washington comes up to you and says like, hey man, we're going to go kill men with families, military men with families, Christians, many of whom you know, because of taxes, and we're going to kill them, and we're going to start our own country. | ||
| Really think about what that means. | ||
| We're gonna go kill Christian men, or claim to be at least, right? | ||
| But that's not how the revolution started. | ||
| George didn't just go around to people and say, hey guys, let's go do this. | ||
| There was a constitutional convention, there were delegates, there were chosen leaders who came to the state house and Philadelphia, which later we came in. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But at the end of the day, it came down to who? | |
| J6 was a Fed-surrection, right? | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Like, Ray Absolute was saying, let's go into the Capitol, and all the protesters there were saying, you're a Fed, get out of here, anyone who's telling us to go to the Capitol. | ||
| Did you see the memes they made from LA, where they put my face, and then, I think it was Grand Old Memes made it, where he put Ray Absolute here, he said, we need to go into Dodger Stadium. | ||
| We need to get inside of it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I kind of largely disagree. | |
| I think January 6th was mostly- You don't think it was a Fed-surrection? | ||
| No, definitely not. | ||
| I definitely don't. | ||
| I think that there were bad actors, but I think you can find them anywhere. | ||
| You can find them in a lot of them. | ||
| But the people who pushed for the breach were Feds. | ||
| Like Ray Epps was the first guy who breached a barrier. | ||
| But at the end of the day, they were not Feds. | ||
| No, a lot of people, the doors were open for them and they were let in, but they didn't even, there were a lot of people who didn't even realize that they weren't allowed to be there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right, exactly, and that's what I'm saying. | |
| So that's my point. | ||
| This was not like a bunch of people saying, let's storm the Capitol and like stop the certification. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It was, it was literally protestors who were goaded by the fence. | |
| Instead of thinking about this idea of, let's raise an army, let's fight the government. | ||
| That'll be destroyed immediately. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It'll never happen. | |
| You guys are communists. | ||
| All right, you guys are all commies! | ||
| But what I do think is theoretically possible is... How'd they do in Michigan? | ||
| To destabilize certain areas. | ||
| In other words, not set peace battles, and not even insurrection battles as we know them, you know, choose your Disastrous American attempt to deal with insurgencies of your choice, but there's all sorts of alternate history novels about this and From the second look what if the Confederacy took over states and continued exactly. | ||
| I mean you you you can make it costly and But the problem is, as you point out, Jack, people don't really appreciate, and Biden, or whoever was whispering into his earpiece at that moment, is right about this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ray Epps. | |
| Ray Epps actually is in control of the regime. | ||
| That's why you can't charge him. | ||
| He wouldn't ever charge himself. | ||
| There is really no way, it is impossible to say that the Second Amendment is a meaningful And I'll tell you something else. | ||
| There is a, you know, a segment among Jewish people who, and we might have even been in a thread once where we discussed this issue. | ||
| If the first thing the Nazis did was round up all the guns and look what happened. | ||
| They killed, you know, two thirds of the Jews in Europe. | ||
| You think that if the Jews had guns, okay, and by the way, Jews and guns, Israelis is a different category, okay? | ||
| Jews of Europe and guns was not ever really a thing. | ||
| They did have kind of paramilitary groups that like Begin was, but really, really small scale. | ||
| The point is though, even your best case scenario, self-defense. | ||
| Warsaw Ghetto Uprising? | ||
| The Germans had so many things going. | ||
| They had already completely lost the war by the time of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. | ||
| They pulled out some pocket change just to deal with the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. | ||
| It took them a couple of weeks. | ||
| They did have to spend a couple of weeks, but that's all they had to spend. | ||
| Right, and the entire city of Warsaw was leveled in response. | ||
| Literally, while Soviet troops stood outside with their arms folded. | ||
| Oh yeah, oh yeah. | ||
| So the entire city was leveled. | ||
| That's why if you go to Poland now, I had a friend who just, we used to work together and said, hey, you know, we're going to Poland with some people, where should I go in Warsaw? | ||
| And honestly, as You know, as sad as it is, you know, and there's great memorials, there's great museums. | ||
| The old city of Warsaw, Warszawa, is like this tiny little district of the city because most of it was destroyed in the war and then rebuilt by the Soviets. | ||
| So it's, you know, it's like Soviet block housing. | ||
| You mentioned Vietnam and how the jungle was... Whereas Krakow, on the other hand, is gorgeous. | ||
| How mountains and jungles were conducive to insurgencies, but now with air power, not only was the surface being napalmed to hell in Vietnam, the Viet Cong were trying to fight with Russian and Chinese weapons, they were living underground for like 10 years in tunnels. | ||
| So unless people are willing to live underground, it's not on the radar, and even then you're gonna lose. | ||
| So hold on, I have to, because we've heard a lot of pro-arguments and I haven't had a chance to make the anti-argument. | ||
| I disagree with you guys because you were pro-communism arguments by saying that the people could not be effective in an insurgency. | ||
| So I think the problem is, and by the way, at scale, so here's what I'll say. | ||
| I want to make clear, and I don't think that you guys think this, but I think what a lot of people believe about a potential second American revolution or an insurgency where people are fighting the government is they picture this as an open conflict where the Americans are on one side with their ARs and the government is on the other side with their M4s and their tanks. | ||
| But what would happen is they would take over certain cities, and then you would have insurgents who would basically go around and have these small skirmishes in battle. | ||
| And again, I'm not saying I advocate for this under a just war framework, but you'd have people climbing up to towers and just sniping soldiers on street corners. | ||
| To be clear, we are responding to what Joe Biden said today. | ||
| That's what we're responding to. | ||
| There's two things with what Joe Biden said. | ||
| We're not advocating for any of these No, no, no, of course not, of course not. | ||
| But what I'm saying is, firstly, it is a little bit strange that Joe Biden has repeatedly threatened the American people with military power. | ||
| Sounds like something a fascist would do, right? | ||
| Locking up his political opponent while he threatens the American people with military force and tells them they're powerless against him. | ||
| Sounds a little fascistic. | ||
| I'll also say that Different parts of the country would obviously fare differently. | ||
| Something that could happen is rival nations who don't necessarily agree with the cause of the insurgents could start to fund the rebel groups who are fighting the U.S. | ||
| government. | ||
| Maybe even a very large rival nation that is actually on the decline. | ||
| But what but but it remains and always has been extremely opportunistic and would and could see nothing about or maybe even to maybe to actually maybe one real communist nation and one de facto communist nation, I mean There's a gigantic IOU coming from the Russians whether Putin would be around by the time this is true But but China what an opportunity like you said, they wouldn't have to be the least bit sympathetic. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Here's to the revolutionaries. Here's how I think it would shake | |
| out. Can I just make one more point before, I just want to make one more point, which is, it's not, | ||
| before I, before I denounce this, it's not just a question of how, how effective or | ||
| victorious it would be. I think that there, that is an important question, but there's also a question | ||
| of how difficult, there's also a question of how difficult do you make it for the tyrants, right? | ||
| Because they have drones, they have bombs. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, he's just saying what I said with a lot more words. | ||
| No, no, no, no, no, no. | ||
| Hold on, because you guys, you guys, you want to total up the number of words you guys said and compare it to what I'm saying. | ||
| I'm happy to, but what I will add is that people, I mean, people on the ground, so I've spoken to people and I have friends who are in Iraq and Afghanistan and one thing I remember them saying that really stuck with me is in Afghanistan there was a sniper who was picking people off and they were terrified and it made them not want to do their job and they didn't say oh well I was comforted because we have drones and because we have nukes and because we have tanks they said I was terrified I didn't want to do my job. | ||
| The goal of an insurgency is to get the soldiers to want to leave and for the people who are actually on the ground there to abdicate and refuse to fight in that area. | ||
| I will tell you that during I remember Solzhenitsyn yes and I do remember Solzhenitsyn Saying, you can't really think the Russians are going to ever leave Afghanistan, do you? | ||
| The Russians aren't like the Americans. | ||
| They will just keep pouring death on the Afghanis. | ||
| And guess what? | ||
| He was wrong. | ||
| He was wrong. | ||
| Because that is what the power, in the right terrain, with the right motivation... By the way, Afghanistan has a history of being unconquerable to everyone. | ||
| And someone in the chat actually just said, and I'm kind of like scrolling through some of it, but someone just said, look, I think realistically 90% of people would just, you know, 90% of the country would fold if the government takes the money, the food, shuts down the internet. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And that was a point I was actually trying to make. | |
| Dude, the government doesn't have to threaten you with F-15s, you know, and they proved this during the pandemic. | ||
| You know what they have to threaten you with? | ||
| Your security. | ||
| 90% plus of people, if you're slightly inconvenienced, you give in. | ||
| So all these people that say, like, oh, well, if they try to come to my house... Imagine all the informants! | ||
| Imagine how many people would be informed on! | ||
| Oh, they got a flag up in that house! | ||
| Kick them out! | ||
| Don't let these commies black pill you, alright? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no, I'm just saying, man, if you think they're rationalizing, you'd all be ratted out. | |
| Exactly. | ||
| Remember the pandemic? | ||
| You'd be ratted out! | ||
| Oh yeah, 100%. | ||
| You'd be ratted out. | ||
| My friends are cool. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I still remember the Asian media. | |
| You're already so high up the list. | ||
| That being said, we've got Defense In-Depth, the same as the Russians do in Zaporizhia. | ||
| We've got Defense In-Depth at the Pozo compound and I have multiple readouts with which I can find myself. | ||
| Those people around right now, sure, but they ain't gonna find it. | ||
| Yeah, but let them come into Brooklyn. | ||
| We'll show everything. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Brooklyn's gonna help us out. | |
| No, but look man, you threaten a man and his family to turn off his water and you're not able to shop at the grocery store until you turn in those guns or whatever. | ||
| I'm telling you, 90% plus of people, even those hardcore... It's not only turning those guns, it's tell me who bought guns on the street. | ||
| Who are you harboring? | ||
| What other people have thought like you? | ||
| How do you guys communicate? | ||
| There's no shadow of a doubt. | ||
| This comes up in Red Dawn. | ||
| This comes up in Red Dawn. | ||
| They make the guy swallow the transmitter. | ||
| He's the son of the mayor. | ||
| They make him swallow the transmitter. | ||
| And then he knows and he goes back to his friends and they find out. | ||
| And that's how the Soviets find them. | ||
| And that's where, and they kill him and they shoot him. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And look, maybe, I don't know where you all like were originally doing a pandemic, but you guys got to remember, man, I was in Los Angeles. | |
| I wasn't bro. | ||
| I wasn't allowed. | ||
| I wasn't allowed to go. | ||
| I got kicked out of restaurants. | ||
| I tried to pull out the veteran card. | ||
| Like, dude, you're going to kick out a U.S. | ||
| veteran that served this country because they didn't care. | ||
| They don't care. | ||
| They're like, you're wearing the mask and you're going to put the mask on your children and you will show us the vaccine. | ||
| Dude, I'm telling you, man, it's going to happen. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| So I agree that a lot of people throughout this country absolutely are going to cave in. | ||
| What I'm saying is, I think, especially in places that are really... Not us, though. | ||
| No, well, not me, obviously. | ||
| But what I'm saying is... You can destabilize and you can make them... See, the real question, I think, is can you hit a breaking point? | ||
| Can you hit a point where they would actually, notwithstanding that they would say, we're never going to negotiate, we're never going to compromise, can you impose costs on them that would require them to however Disguised it might be, have to compromise. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Because that has the potential. | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| There's a reason they're trying to get our guns now though, right? | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| I don't think that's why. | ||
| You don't think so? | ||
| I'm curious, why do you guys think they have the gun control? | ||
| Because here's what's really gonna happen is that they've realized that, like Gavin Newsom says that about the 29th, We're going to bring the 29th amendment and it's going to be great, Sean. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You'll see. | |
| That's a good one. | ||
| It's going to be so great. | ||
| Sean, what are you thinking? | ||
| All you red states. | ||
| We're the ones who make all the money. | ||
| You guys suck it down. | ||
| Look, look, here's, here's what they've really done. | ||
| And Ron, you know, this is better than me. | ||
| that look at Kyle Rittenhouse, look at Daniel Penny who didn't even use a gun. | ||
| What they've done is they've realized that they're never gonna get rid of the second amendment | ||
| because they can't get rid of the right to self-defense. | ||
| So what are they gonna get rid of? | ||
| The right, the ability to actually use your guns for self-defense. | ||
| They'll take away the right to self-defense so that if you effectively, | ||
| Affect the use if you exercise your right to self-defense Which I've always said is the positive expression of the | ||
| right to life even you do not have a right to life if you are not able to | ||
| defend your life in a Positive manner the way Kyle Rittenhouse did in in the | ||
| streets of Kenosha. It's probably the most famous example that we've ever seen | ||
| that They realize that look if they can't take your right away | ||
| at the ballot box So they can't take your right away at the amendment level. | ||
| They'll take it away in the courtroom, right? | ||
| I'll take it away and jury box There's something else and they will do it in every single | ||
|
unidentified
|
district that they possibly can They also want to make a political statement. | |
| Flip side of what, maybe, no, maybe it's different from what you're saying. | ||
| Our people, our side, our base, our donors are against guns. | ||
| And we're the anti-gun party. | ||
| Were they really worried that Kyle Rittenhouse, if he were not in prison, was going to be out on the streets shooting people? | ||
| Obviously not. | ||
| Are they really worried that American citizens, if they're allowed to buy guns, are going to Actually form an insurrection? | ||
| No. | ||
| What they're doing is they're slapping down the red districts. | ||
| They're slapping down, they're reassuring their base, their donors, their supporters, the media, the institutions. | ||
| We've got this. | ||
| We're going to turn these people and the infrastructure, financial, cultural, economic, industrial, that supports them, pay to be associated with our political enemies. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And that's why I was bringing it up earlier where it's like, you know, uh, Rittenhouse, I think he got a fair deal because he had good representation. | |
| I think he had a good, fair judge that saw the facts and was like, look, there's just not enough evidence here. | ||
| A body of his peers. | ||
| Not just not enough evidence, but the evidence shows that he was acting in self-defense. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Correct. | |
| There was enough evidence. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But here's the thing is that that was such a unique case and like the guy from New York, the New York subway guy, right? | |
| Jack, you were just talking about. | ||
| Daniel Penney. | ||
| He will be convicted. | ||
| I would say right now, he's gonna run. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But that's what I'm saying. | |
| And I actually got into a huge argument with Cernovich was like, this is why you need to abandon the cities. | ||
| Never ever stand up for good people. | ||
| And I was like, bro, what a stupid, what a stupid statement. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Like what, what an asinine statement. | ||
| I told him and I replied to him, I'm like, bro, what the hell? | ||
| Like as a Christian, I do right. | ||
| Not because I fear consequence of what the city's going to do for me. | ||
| I do right in the face of evil because I am commanded. | ||
| To do so by my God. | ||
| I'm not going to, I'm not, imagine like watching an innocent girl get brutally raped or, or, or more violent or whatever the case might be. | ||
| And you're like, well, I'm in a blue district. | ||
| I better not interfere because I fear prison. | ||
| Bro, what? | ||
| Like I'm coming after this guy. | ||
| And if the radical DA wants to sentence me, then so be it. | ||
| Mike says things to make points. | ||
| He doesn't necessarily prescribe that you follow his literal plan. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, but we went back and forth. | |
| But if Mike were there... He was adamant for it. | ||
| He was like, no, what a stupid thing. | ||
| Anthony, because he follows me, he's like, Anthony, you got a family. | ||
| Why don't you think about your children? | ||
| So you want to be this virtuous Christian guy and sit in prison? | ||
| If Mike were there, he would do the right thing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm sure, but the problem is that a lot of these followers, including the ones that follow like Kattred and all that stuff, they see these statements, they hear these people saying, this is why you never do what's right, because you are punished for it. | |
| But look, going back to... What are you living for? | ||
| Right! | ||
| Exactly! | ||
| So then what's the point of being... So why... Exactly! | ||
| And that was my point, and he got so, like, angry. | ||
| I don't know if he unfollowed me after it. | ||
| But to the point of that, that's why you need to go back... Just the last point right here. | ||
| That's why we need to fight for the cities. | ||
| That's why Tim Poole, and I wanted to tell him here today... Dude, you backtracked. | ||
| You saw the Daniel Penney case. | ||
| But those people voted for that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no. | |
| They all voted for that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Not really though, man, because there's a lot of people that don't know what's going on. | |
| Okay, let's be honest. | ||
| Nobody votes for more murder, but they don't... I mean, if you vote John Krasny... You vote... Why does Larry Krasny keep getting elected in Philadelphia? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right, I understand that, but what I'm saying is the average person, the average city dweller... I'm telling you, man, because I speak with these people all the time. | |
| When Roe v. Wade happened, there were street vendors there, Hispanic, barely any English, but they were selling to the crowd. | ||
| They said, what are they protesting? | ||
| In Spanish, they told me, because they know I speak Spanish. | ||
| I'm like, they're protesting for the right to abortion up to nine months. | ||
| And they're like, what in the hell? | ||
| And there were We're just so shocked. | ||
| And I'm like, what do you think about abortion? | ||
| And like, dude, we have our kids here. | ||
| My husband's over there on that corner selling to the crowd. | ||
| Cause we need to make money. | ||
| I'm here. | ||
| And we've got the kids with us and they help us. | ||
| Like I would never abort a child. | ||
| I'm like, by chance, do you vote? | ||
| And they're like, Oh, we're not really political. | ||
| Like we just, we just want to make money. | ||
| We came to this country to work. | ||
| But again, it's not that they're voting for it. | ||
| We've seen this. | ||
| We've seen this time and time again, where this George W. Bush had this whole thing about like, Oh, The more immigrants we bring from traditionally socially conservative areas, they're natural conservatives. | ||
| Remember natural conservatives? | ||
| They're going to vote with the right. | ||
| Finally, they're going to be right. | ||
| And it's just not true. | ||
| It's never borne out in voting populations. | ||
| I'll hold Florida out as a recent potential, but by and large, that is not the voting patterns we see. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The highest density of Catholics is in Southern California. | |
| No, they don't. | ||
| They just don't vote. | ||
| They just don't vote. | ||
| We're not reaching those voters. | ||
| That's what I'm saying. | ||
| Like we're not reaching those voters. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because California continues to be overlooked as just give it up, just give up California. | ||
| But there are so many potential voters, but the Republican party would rather have, you know, and I say this because I'm a state delegate. | ||
| I go to all these fancy dinners. | ||
| They waste all this money on nice centerpieces. | ||
| Look, man, Wasn't there just a huge recall attempt on Newsom? | ||
| I thought he was still in office. | ||
| What do you mean? | ||
| A recall attempt on Newsom? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right, and we successfully recalled him, but we ended up failing because... | |
| I thought he was still in office. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, I understand. I've said the recall was successful. | |
| What do you mean? | ||
| The election. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Because we made the election happen. That's what I'm saying. | |
| So like the recall, like it was a successful recall. | ||
| But then he just got reelected. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But then he ended up getting reelected, right. | |
| Because the way it works is for a special election like that, everyone has to rally all their votes on one candidate. | ||
| It's not like where they have a primary and then a general election. | ||
| It's just whoever gets the most votes. | ||
| That's how Schwarzenegger got in, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
You had like 12 Republicans running and Larry Elder, I think, had the most votes. | |
| Actually, Schwarzenegger got in because he was a rocket scientist and he needed something to talk about. | ||
| That's right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Screw your patriotism, you know, or screw your freedom. | |
| But it was an election like that when Schwarzenegger first got in, right? | ||
| Something like that. | ||
| A special election, yeah. | ||
| But, Jack, I actually thought the trend on Hispanic votes was slowly trending towards It does, and historically it's always been at least 30%. | ||
| Like you said, forget the Cubans. | ||
| We're not talking about Cubans. | ||
| I'm going to hold Florida out as a very special case because you get Cubans that do go to Florida, but Hispanics, and I'm not going to speak of Hispanics, but the idea is that Hispanics are a monolith. | ||
| It's like, oh, all Hispanics are the same. | ||
| It's just not true. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh yeah, of course. | |
| Go up to a Puerto Rican and call them a Mexican and find out what happens. | ||
| Oh yeah. | ||
| Yeah, it's not going to go well for you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But that's the thing is that if you're going to be in the community like I am, you have to understand, okay, well, what are your problems, right? | |
| So one example, crime is really high right now, right, in Los Angeles. | ||
| No one's arguing that and, you know, inadvertently, yes, people are voting for those policies because like, hey, if you vote down gun rights, you're voting for more crime. | ||
| Right. | ||
| A lot of people don't understand that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Exactly. | ||
| But people don't correlate that. | ||
| They don't correlate those things. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They think they're doing good because that's what they're being told. | |
| Like, hey, the reason why crime is so high is because, and guess what? | ||
| Republicans are not showing up to do a counter argument. | ||
| And so, for example, street vendors, people that sell ice cream, a lot of these people, immigrants, right? | ||
| They're here on residency, whatever. | ||
| It's like corn. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They are being targeted right now by high crime. | |
| Well, there's a socialist activist out there, the Democratic Socialists of America, are working with them to fundraise for them. | ||
| Well, the Republican Party, you know what they could be doing? | ||
| Arm them. | ||
| Why aren't you gathering up all these street vendors and saying, you know what's better than getting attacked and getting a GoFundMe for $8,000 at a time? | ||
| How about we train you and we have you have your constitutional right to a gun? | ||
| Now, think about this. | ||
| It's twofold. | ||
| You arm the street vendors against crime. | ||
| The second one is, how will Democrats defend this? | ||
| They're going to be like, oh, well, we don't believe in constitutional carry. | ||
| It's still hard to do in LA. | ||
| They're not going to give them permits. | ||
| Yeah, it's still hard to do. | ||
| We haven't gotten rid of the permit system. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Exactly. | |
| Right. | ||
| So the argument is going to be like, well, we're not just going to give them like guns, like we're against guns. | ||
| So then your argument as a Republican should be like, so you are saying that these immigrants that are hardworking are not entitled to Second Amendment constitutional rights. | ||
| That's what they said about the Koreans. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You make it about them. | |
| You make it and then you tell them, look, Look at what you're doing to the Hispanic community. | ||
| But that's also a great example of my point, though, that LA had the rooftop Koreans, LA had the LA riots, LA had everything that went on. | ||
| Lessons not learned. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And show me the lesson learned. | ||
| It's only become progressively worse, progressively blue, progressively trending in that direction. | ||
| But why? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Because we convince people, just get out of there. | |
| So more people are leaving California. | ||
| Who's staying back to fight? | ||
| No one, because everyone's like, well, I don't know. | ||
| So I wouldn't say that the reason is just because everyone's been leaving California. | ||
| People have been moving out of there. | ||
| A lot of blue Democrats have also left California. | ||
| Like this is an issue they're having in Texas. | ||
| There's a huge issue in Arizona. | ||
| Correct. | ||
| But it's also an issue with Republicans that made it more purpular, as I like to say, in some of these states. | ||
| Because like, I'll go to Phoenix, right? | ||
| So when I go to see Turning Point, when I go to do work out of there, I was there last week, so I was in Phoenix for a couple of days before I went out to LA, because it's like a quicker flight, so we do the show out of there. | ||
| And you go to Phoenix airport and you're surrounded by California people. | ||
| It's like, you could just tell it's culturally Californian. | ||
| The people are Californian. | ||
| They're dressed like, they're Californians. | ||
| It should be illegal. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No California should be allowed to flee. | |
| I'd be all for it. | ||
| And a lot of red people would be all for it too. | ||
| And I guess what I mean to say is like, they're not like conservative Californians. | ||
| It's just, you can tell, like these are California people. | ||
| And to the same, by the same token, you see a lot of, you know, Hollywood celebrities are now buying land and buying Yeah. | ||
| Houses in Scottsdale. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You want to know what it is? | |
| So guys, I hate to cut in. | ||
| I really hate to cut in, but we got to go to college. | ||
| I do need the heads on there for this, right? | ||
| Can I just have one last thing? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I promise really quick. | |
| No, please do. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's a good discussion. | |
| A Tennessean told me today, because somebody's moving to Tennessee from California. | ||
| A lot of people in California are moving to Tennessee. | ||
| You know what they told me the problem is? | ||
| The problem is, like, I've lived in Tennessee for generations. | ||
| The problem with Blue Staters, specifically California, is that they've lived under democratic rule for so long, they don't know anything else. | ||
| So they come to Tennessee, where we have these neocons trying to strip away gun rights in Tennessee, and you know what the response is from Blue Staters? | ||
| It's like, Yeah, but my state was way worse. | ||
| At least you guys have it nicer here. | ||
| So that's the problem. | ||
| A California Republican is not the same as a Tennessee Republican. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely not. | |
| Exactly, yeah. | ||
| And they're willing not to fight. | ||
| They don't vote well. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Exactly. | |
| They're willing to not vote against because they're like, look, I'm an implant. | ||
| I don't want any problems. | ||
| I know we've messed up our state, but let's be honest, guys. | ||
| This is way better. | ||
| Oh, we used to have it worse. | ||
| So they're just okay with it. | ||
| I like the idea of making people stay in a state for a couple years before they get state voting rights. | ||
| Switzerland does that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I agree with that. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Anyways. | ||
| All righty. | ||
| Callers now. | ||
| Sorry everyone. | ||
| We don't mean to keep you waiting. | ||

| Game of money. That's correct. | ||
| So when that happened, I think maybe we have to switch the device. I can't quite tell. | ||
| I'm trying to find that right now. So it's a hardware issue. | ||
| Yes. I'm just trying to see if I can. We switch that while we're still live. | ||
| Yeah. Yeah, we can. I'm just trying to, I'm trying to figure out where to do that. I'm not, | ||

| fight. Anthony, a couple of times you've used the terminology, the fight for the cities. | ||

No, he means street by street. | |
| Street by street. | ||

unidentified

So one thing that I've been doing since 2019... Mostly sending you out there. | |
| One thing that I've been doing since 2019 is we go clean the cities. | ||
| So I do community cleanups. | ||
| We just did one with the squat presser. | ||
| Before that, I had been doing them for several years now. | ||
| So you have to actually get into the community. | ||
| So the way you fight back is you inform people. | ||
| So we make little pamphlets that we hand out to people because everyone's always curious. | ||
| Like, who are these 30 young gentlemen or young people that are out cleaning the streets? | ||
| Streets that have been, you know, basically abandoned by the politicians. | ||
| Now when you say clean the streets, do you mean like physically clean? | ||
| Or do you mean like peaky blinders or, or, you know, taxi driver, you know, some, someday a hard rain's going to come and wash all this filth off the streets. | ||
|

There's a lot of people that have lived there for decades and they're so old that you just can't take care of their homes. | |
| So like we do like, uh, gardening on their stuff, you know? | ||
| We got a caller. | ||
| Sounded like it. | ||
| It's not a caller. | ||
| We almost got a caller. | ||
| Uh, I'm gonna, Quani, can you, uh, can you speak again and see if, uh, if there's some sort of issue here? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I see, I see it's active there. | ||
| Can anyone else in the chat here, Quani? | ||
| Cause I don't, we cannot hear him at the moment. | ||
| Are you in the live chat, by the way? | ||
| Ian has just entered the live chat. | ||
| I just entered the live chat? | ||
| Yeah, I'm hearing stuff from Discord. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So the issue, Kwani, is that we cannot hear anything you're saying, so I'm going to try a different caller now. | ||
| Can we try another caller real quick? | ||
| My apologies. | ||
| I'm going to mute you now quickly, and I'm going to try a different caller here. | ||
| Give me a moment. | ||
| Let's talk to Aquadog Studio. | ||
| Aquadog Studio, you are now on the air. | ||
| No, same issue. | ||
| Uh, I, I don't know what happened here guys, but, uh, yesterday we had the game of money, um, premiere on this computer. | ||
| And I wonder if it was, it changed the audio device. | ||
| I haven't had time to really look that up since then. | ||
| For your discord settings, you go into video and voice. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I was just on the video. | ||
| There's gotta be, cause I just heard sound effects from discord. | ||
| So this input device is the right input device and everything. | ||
| Um, I didn't want to do it in this studio, just so you guys are aware. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I didn't want to do that. | ||
| Um, but it just was the way that it all worked out. | ||
| Uh, they needed to do it last second. | ||
| So that's what happened. | ||
| Um, I don't know exactly why. | ||
| There's gotta be some setting for like other members then that's separate from the, uh, setting for sound effects. | ||
| Cause like when Ian just came in the chat, I heard that. | ||
| So that means discord is sending. | ||
| Definitely, and I mean, I'm here at the place where it would be to change it. | ||
| Like, all of the... technically, this should be working. | ||
| I don't understand why it's not feeding through. | ||
| Like, the OBS has an audio channel set up. | ||
| Discord is set to send to the audio channel that's set up in OBS. | ||
| It's right here. | ||
| Yep, it's in this voice widget right here. | ||
| This is VoxWidget. | ||
| Yeah, everything is working as it should be. | ||
| When they talk in Discord, do you see it going up and down in OBS? | ||
| Uh, no, there's no, the thing about, it's, it's, when they're, when they're speaking in Discord here, I mean, we'll just troubleshoot really fast, I can see their name, if Aqueduct Studio, would you mind saying something quickly for me? | ||
| See that green? | ||
| Yeah, I see the green. | ||
| It's prompting right there, and it's prompting also up here on the actual screen, as you guys can see, but for some reason, it's just not, uh, I mean, I can try and reset the defaults, I guess, but then I'd have to go and do a whole bunch of other things as well. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Worst case scenario, we could take some text, Yeah, I guess we could take the text questions if you guys want to. | |
| Yeah, let's do that. | ||
| If you guys are in the callers, if you guys want to just type out your questions. | ||
| See if there's anything you can do while they're doing that, because it'd be awesome if we could resurrect this. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Let's just see if we can go... | ||
| I really liked the calls last time I was here. | ||
| It was really cool. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, it's always cool when people call and I love getting their comments, their feedback. | |
| Honestly, talk about community and a way to counteract a global centralized authority attempting to take over the world. | ||
| It's with community. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Seriously. | |
| And it's with tech like this using it for the right way. | ||
| Let me make a social political legal point. | ||
| Uh-oh. | ||
| No. | ||
| Actually, I'd rather you didn't. | ||
| We'd really rather you didn't. | ||
| We'd really rather you just keep quiet, you know. | ||
| Do you mind? | ||
| You know what? | ||
| Push the microphone away. | ||
| Push the microphone away. | ||

|
You know, we like this guy. | |
| You know what? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm not even sure why this guy was allowed to come in today. | |
| You know, we like to have a little party here every once in a while, but, you know, from time to time. | ||
| Never mind. | ||
| No, no, no, it's okay. | ||
| Do you think? | ||
| No, actually, no, we wanted to hear it. | ||
| No, sorry. | ||
| No, no, no, sure, Andy, you really did. | ||
| No, we really did. | ||
| There's a community in New York City Orthodox Jewish community, which is an object lesson in many respects for how you can stay in the city, how you can build institutions, how you can actually flourish in the city. | ||
| And the attack on the Orthodox Jewish schools in New York is a multi-pronged attack based on the threat that their success poses Symbolically and otherwise to many, many institutions that are vested in the existing system. | ||
| Here's the problem. | ||
| Your street-level advocacy, your building of the necessary communal structures, Is difficult to divorce from the very deeply entrenched welfare state. | ||
| Do we want to do a real quick test? | ||
| He's making a point! | ||
| The man's making a point! | ||
| Aqueduct Studio, would you mind saying something to see if we can hear you? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hello! | |
| Let's wrap Rob's point really quick. | ||
| I want to hear the rest of your point because he's going to help us. | ||
| The distribution of benefits. | ||
| Save America. | ||
| The government is so intrusive and so omnipresent in the lives, especially of lower income people, that they will use, they, the existing system, will put the squeeze and also communal leaders We'll put the squeeze on the people they consider to be their constituents. | ||
| So what's my point? | ||
| Jewish organizations, Orthodox Jewish organizations in New York have been very reluctant, and understandably, because of how the elections always come out no matter what. | ||
| Trump took 90% of the Orthodox Jewish vote, including in New York City. | ||
| And also, the Republican pickups in the House are largely a result of Orthodox Jewish voting in New York State. | ||
| But, at the end of the day, the government structures, the local government structures, are still controlled by Democrats, and that's a really risky strategy, because if your community is perceived as bucking the Democratic leadership, you have a lot to lose. | ||
| So that has to be taken into consideration as well. | ||
| Yeah, I get it. | ||
| Let's get to these calls, because we've waited a long enough. | ||
| So, Aqueduct Studio, what would be your question? | ||
| How are you? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey, what's up guys? | |
| So my question is to Jack Basobic, our Chinese expert here. | ||
| We're Chinese? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And what are you an expert in? | ||
| Nothing. | ||
| Martial arts? | ||
| Kung Fu actually. | ||
|

|
The messenger reported that three sources are saying there's an evacuation plan for Taiwan. | |
| And I wanted to know if you think that China sees Taiwan as a target it can take as early as this year? | ||
| And a separate question from that would be if you think China invading Taiwan would help or hurt Trump in 2024? | ||
| Yeah, so there's a couple pieces to this. | ||
| From what I've been told is that what they're referring to is this evacuation plan for not all of Taiwan, that's for American citizens or AMCETs within Taiwan. | ||
| What they're talking about is a NEO, a noncombatant evacuation operation. | ||
| These are the type of things that, quite frankly, for various hotspots in the world, the United States Navy, United States embassies, are always tasked with being worked on. | ||
| So these logistics, that includes hospitals, that includes embarkation sites. | ||
| If you've got a place like, for example, Ukraine would have gone through this in the final days. | ||
| That being said, just because they're working on the plan doesn't necessarily mean that there's intel out there that says something like this is imminent. | ||
| I particularly don't necessarily say that I think it's imminent because I think Xi Jinping is in a very strong position right now. | ||
| He wants to take Taiwan by osmosis through cultural and generational force. | ||
| And I've said before a million times, and we have a whole thing called the China files, Which just set up the China files meme that you guys can go and like share It's a little red meme the way Mao had the little red book and it's got a QR code where you can watch them All and so I go really in-depth and there's a whole chapter all just on Taiwan where I said look, you know I think the only thing that would trigger a Taiwan Invasion would be if Xi Jinping were threatened internally within the party, but he just doesn't have internal threats, right? | ||
| Not anymore Because well, no not anymore because he didn't there. | ||
| They're a Shanghai gang. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They've all been disappeared Yes, Shanghai gang, the youth league gang as well. | |
| And particularly one of their main leaders, Jiang Zemin, has been the old toad. | ||
| I mean, he's basically done. | ||
| I mean, he's like 96. | ||
| It's just, it ain't happening. | ||
| It just ain't happening. | ||
| So for them to make a push like that, a huge obvious breach, especially when they've been | ||
| publicly somewhat, remember, originally they were negative | ||
| towards Russia in terms of launching a war of regression into U.S. | ||
| Ukraine and then eventually they you know, they sided with Russia, but you know, I don't necessarily think that That China was would be willing to take a step like that unless Xi Jinping were extremely forced that being said if Taiwan were to Declare independence or our push for some kind of military retaking of some of the outlying islands or any number of things a naval Dust-up that turns into another conflagration a trap sub if you will From one of these I disputed islands where a group of activists goes in I mean there are there are many things that could flash this up and I guess to your last question would this help or hurt Trump? | ||
| I think it would help Trump Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| I think it would help Trump because, you know, we've seen that the Biden administration is extremely soft on China. | ||
| You know, Biden's willing to say, oh, he's a dictator. | ||
| He's this and that. | ||
| But at the same time, you know, his son is taking so much money from him. | ||
| Anthony Blinken goes over there like a clerk, kowtowing, making these, which by the way, going beyond the typical one China policy, the one China policy, which goes back to the Shanghai communique, Of saying that the United States believes that Taiwan and China, the People's Republic of China, are both part of one entity, which is a very vague kind of status quo statement that every president has gone back on, including Reagan, going all the way back to Carter. | ||
| And it starts off with Nixon, of course, going to China. | ||
| that now actually saying we do like unequivocally saying we do not support Taiwanese independence | ||
| is is beyond the typical one China statement and I think that's there's a reason for that | ||
| and the reason is that you know they're being told to say it. True. It's a great question though, | ||
| it's a great question. Yeah I agree. | ||
| Biden's a great diplomat, by the way. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'll just say. | |
| Joe Biden's foreign policy is so good. | ||
| Do you remember when he basically told us a whole story he made up about the time he called Putin mean? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's like, I told him, I don't think you have a soul, man. | |
| And he said, we understand each other. | ||
| I was like, what? | ||
| You're the leader of our country and you called a foreign adversary mean? | ||
| He wants you to think he's mean! | ||
| That means you're intimidated by him, idiot! | ||
| I think you're thinking of Steven Seagal. | ||
| No, no, Joe Biden literally said that. | ||
| He said, I said, I don't think you have a soul. | ||
| It's Aqueduct Studio. | ||

| How do you know a drummer's at your door? | ||
| How? | ||
| He doesn't know when to come in. | ||
| What's the last thing a drummer says in a band? | ||
| I've heard that one. | ||
| He ain't got that one. | ||
| Still, it's rhythm still playing in my head. | ||
| What's the last thing a drummer says in a band? | ||
| Hey guys, I wrote a song. | ||

There you go. | |

| Oh yeah. | ||
| And I've been in bands! | ||
| There's also a bass player, I guess you could say. | ||
| It's a little bit less, I guess, Hateful. | ||
| Well, there's kind of a kind of an anger towards drummers. | ||
| Yeah, I found but anyways, uh, you are now with us again. | ||
| You must unmute yourself though. | ||

Hey Quani, we've been waiting to hear from you for a while now. | |
| Can you hear me? | ||
| Yes, loud and clear. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Being from Singapore, I got so much things I want to talk about guns, but I'll stick true to my question. | |
| So as for the Catholics in the room, what are your view about the current Pope's position about being more LGBTQ friendly? | ||
| And how does it affect the Catholics in that regard? | ||
| And also, as you guys are generally more in favour of states' rights and decentralisation, does that not also contradict with the centralisation that you see in capitalism? | ||
| So yeah, there's a few ways to answer that. | ||
| I'll give my answer, and then Tim can also let you know how he feels, because I know he's been studying Catholicism a bit recently, but basically... Well, you don't want to hear from the Protestants? | ||
| Pope Francis? | ||
| No, are you kidding me? | ||
| Come on. | ||
| They never want to hear from us. | ||
| Are you kidding me? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| I mean, it's like, lines, opinions of sheep. | ||
| They have questions about it. | ||
| They're talking about serious churches. | ||
| I love my Protestant brothers. | ||
| Serious religions. | ||
| So, here's what I'll say to you. | ||
| With Pope Francis, this is an important thing for people to understand. | ||
| Papal infallibility does not mean the Pope is correct in every single thing he says. | ||
| It means that when the Pope speaks ex cathedra, when he's invoking his authority as Pope to declare on a specific moral question where he literally says that he's basically... Wait, and Seamus, breakdown. | ||
| How many times has that actually happened? | ||
| There's some debate about that, but it's been very infrequent. | ||
| It's been very infrequent. | ||
| I can't give you an exact number because there is debate on it, but it very, very, very rarely happens. | ||
| It's like a dozen times. | ||
| Yes, exactly. | ||
| Most popes never speak ex cathedra. | ||
| It's extremely rare. | ||
| Oh, so they're giving their personal opinions, and then they'll tell you if they're going to come out and speak. | ||
| Exactly, yes, exactly. | ||
| So when the pope speaks he's unless the qualifications for ex cathedra are | ||
| mentioned which I sort of spelled out you know invoking his Authority is successor of Peter like declaring it with that | ||
| authority And it's it's it's one of these moral questions right and I | ||
| would encourage everyone to just double check on all this the um | ||
| You know it's actually a lot before from the chair from the chair exactly yeah | ||
| So the vast majority of times when the Pope speaks, like 99.9% of the time, he's just giving you his personal opinion. | ||
| And it doesn't reflect any change in church teaching. | ||
| And I'll also mention this, the question of sodomy and whether that's moral is not something that any Pope has the authority to change. | ||
| This is part of natural law. | ||
| This is literally built into nature. | ||
| A Pope could not come along and say, we've changed church teaching on this. | ||
| Go to, but I think the deeper question there is this, this comes to Francis's embrace of synodism, synod, these synods, where, you know, it's where it's, it's, it's, it's the Hegelian thing again, right? | ||
| We're gonna go dialogue. We're gonna bring a dialectic together. We're gonna remove the | ||
| the the hierarchical view we're gonna remove the historical view traditional view the legalistic view the | ||
| doctrinal view of the church and instead just you know, bring a bunch of people, you know, just | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know kind of bring a couple of people together the Vatican a little bit of a party | |
| Shakes out, you know cuz I I just got some I I wanted to double check on this. | ||
| I got a more precise delineation of the qualifications for an ex cathedra statement from EWTN here. | ||
| One, intends to teach. | ||
| Two, by virtue of his supreme authority. | ||
| Three, on a matter of faith and morals. | ||
| And four, to the whole church. | ||
| Does he need to get like cardinal approval to speak for the church or they have that vested in him? | ||
| No, no, that's him. | ||
| He has that approval. | ||
| He has that approval through his election. | ||
| If he was elected by the cardinals, then he would be speaking to them. | ||
| So technically, yes. | ||
| But it could come to a point where a pope was not well, mentally well, and would not step down. | ||
| And it's like, we just can't take anything this guy's saying seriously. | ||
| There was a pope who was mentally unwell. | ||
| He actually dug up a prior pope and put him on trial. | ||
| Yeah, that was a fun one. | ||
| He exhumed his body and put him on trial. | ||
| What do you have to say about that one, guys? | ||
| Well, like I said, not everything the Pope does is infallible. | ||
| Popes are sinners. | ||
| I mean, what do I say about the fact that Peter denied Christ three times? | ||
|
unidentified
|
But I've talked to a lot of Catholics that take everything he says as undeniable truth, and that's kind of like why I... | |
| Catholics that I've talked to. | ||
| Maybe in LA, yeah, I could see that. | ||
| Whoa, jeez! | ||
| So much anger! | ||
| No, no, I'm actually, I'm not being mean. | ||
| I'm not being mean. | ||
| I'm actually, I'm not trying to be mean. | ||
| I'm saying, I agree with you. | ||
| That probably is the case. | ||
| I don't, I don't doubt that. | ||
| Like I'm, I'm with a lot of traditional Catholics who are like, why is he saying this stuff? | ||
| But I actually do believe that in more liberal parts of the country, there are Catholics who go, look at this. | ||
| It's a statement we have to believe when it's just his opinion. | ||
| But please continue. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no, no. | |
| That was just it. | ||
| Like, like you're saying that like, not everything is taken, you know, whatever. | ||
| But I'm like, dude, I know some Catholics that are like, I post it sometimes on my stories, like something that the Pope does or something that he says or whatever, and then the Catholics come after me and they're like, oh dude, don't question the descendant of Peter, like he disguised the Pope. | ||
| And I'm like, I just think it was a wrong opinion. | ||
| That's a big sentiment within the Church. | ||
| Those Catholics are wrong. | ||
| I guess the answer to the other question, by the way, that Kwanye was asking about states' rights versus hierarchicalism within the church is, you know, obviously we're talking about a political system of government within the United States tradition of, obviously we're still operating under the Constitution and arguably Uh, we can argue we can debate about how much we actually use the constitution anymore So we're we're operating with that versus a religious Tradition in a church that catholics believe was founded by jesus christ. | ||
| Yeah, and and also mention this the the church is so I actually believe in decentralization for the same reason that I'm Catholic, actually. | ||
| There's a principle called subsidiarity, and you see this in the structure of the church. | ||
| Basically, if something can be handled by the most local possible authority, it should be handled by the most local possible authority. | ||
| You're only supposed to go up that chain of command if you found a problem that you literally could not solve at the local level. | ||
| I'm not saying that never happens. | ||
| I'm saying it's never abused. | ||
| The Pope is giving orders all the time. | ||
| When the church was most influential in world affairs, there was a French church, there was an English church, there was a Spanish church, and they were very different, and they were understood to be different, and their relationship with their respective states was very different. | ||
| So in Spain it was extraordinarily well integrated. | ||
| In Spain, obviously, right. | ||
| And in England they were anti-papist well before Henry VIII. | ||
|
unidentified
|
England went a little bit of a different direction. | |
| Henry VIII was a problem child. | ||
| Some say that King James was the first one of those. | ||
| They call that a... | ||
| Yeah, sorry. | ||
| Continue with what you were saying. | ||
| The investiture controversy. | ||
| No, but just my understanding as a student of history, not obviously as someone with | ||
| a Catholic education, but is that, as Jack says, there has always been an understanding | ||
| that prelates of different parts of the world had a responsibility to be appropriately sympathetic | ||
| and appropriately culturally tied into what makes sense for that place, but also what | ||
| the relationship is with other institutions and other cultural phenomena and social phenomena. | ||
| Yeah, and so to be clear, like, the fundamental moral teachings are still the same there. | ||
| It's not like in the Spanish Catholic Church now adultery was okay or something. | ||
| I mean, in Italy, I'm sure they push for that, right? | ||
| Overall, you're right, when it came to the cultural customs, when it came to what do we enforce here, it did vary based on the country we're in. | ||
| Of course we just mean for now, because eventually. | ||
| Yeah, no, once we take over. | ||
| Dude, I don't know, the Catholic Church has trouble running the Catholic Church. | ||
| I don't want it to run. | ||
| I was just thinking, if the head is pointing in one direction, would the body not also follow the head? | ||
| Because Christ runs our church, friend. | ||
| It is. | ||
| Get Constantinople back, Constantinople back again, and then I'll be impressed. | ||
| I cry every time. | ||
| I cry every single time. | ||
| World War I was so close, man. | ||
| We were so close. | ||
| A couple weeks away. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Anything else to say? | |
| Freaking Germans, man. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I was just thinking, like, if the head is pointing in one direction, would the body | |
| not also follow the head? | ||
| And in that sense, I guess if we all feel that the Pope is, believes in something that's | ||
| in contradiction to the doctrine, would there not be a process that you can, I don't know | ||
| what's the equivalent of impeachment of the Pope, to get him off the position? | ||
| So this is also important, when you're saying the Pope believes something that's in conflict with church teaching, you have to point to something specific there, and this is something I encourage people to be very careful about. | ||
| I think the Pope has said certain things that could be argued to be on the border of that, but as far as I'm aware, the Pope has not openly said anything that actually expressly contradicts church teaching, except for one statement that he made about God willing all religions, which they ended up actually walking back. | ||
| So, a lot of times they play games, they say like, well, they talk about the translations, | ||
| and they get liberal, and yeah, stuff like that. | ||
| So this is one area where I'll say, I'll give you an example of this, right? | ||
| So when Pope Francis first came to his position, I was seeing all these news articles. | ||
| Catholic Church no longer believes in hell. | ||
| The Catholic Church has stopped teaching about hell. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| That's literally not possible. | ||
| The church actually can't do that. | ||
| And so, I look into it. | ||
| What happened? | ||
| Pope Francis, while on, you know, an airplane or something, being asked a question by a journalist, said that he doesn't think hell is a literal place. | ||
| He just thinks it's a state of the soul. | ||
| Now, that is not something Catholics are required to believe, because he wasn't making an ex-Catholic statement, but that's also something Catholics have been allowed to believe, historically, and It didn't affect church teaching at all, and he also wasn't saying hell doesn't exist. | ||
| So you have to be careful, because the media will take his statements and turn them into something completely different than what he ever said. | ||
| This is a pope who's called gender theory demonic, who's called abortionists hit men. | ||
| I mean, he's more conservative than people think, though there are things he says which, once again, really concern me. | ||
| Kwani, I really appreciate the question. | ||
| I mean, we could do an entire other episode on this. | ||
| Yeah, you get these Catholics talking and they'll just keep going. | ||
| And the Latin version of this discussion is going to be really amazing. | ||

That Chinese sounds a bit funny, to be honest. | |
| It sounds very Chinese. | ||
| Maybe a little Polish. | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| It sounds like you're from China, Chinese. | ||
| Which, you lived in China a long time, that makes sense. | ||
| A couple years, yeah. | ||
| Anyways. | ||
| Cheers, my friend. | ||
| We're on to Noah Sanders. | ||
| Noah Sanders, how are you? | ||

|
Hey, howdy. | |
| Glad to be back. | ||
| Hey, man. | ||
| Good to hear you, too. | ||
| How are you? | ||

So, my question was originally for Jack, but it's of course open to the whole panel. | |
| Which do y'all think is more important role for young people, probably around 30 or younger, to fulfill? | ||
| One, someone like yourself, Jack, who reports on the news, current events, and trending topics. | ||
| That doesn't really have a job. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||

|
Pressler type, who goes out to help activate voters in different areas and inform people on the streets. | |
| Or three, someone to run for public offices of all levels in their district. | ||
| All seem important to secure bright future for our country, But which should be the most pursued in your guys opinion? | ||
| I mean, I Think God gives people different talents. Yeah. Yeah | ||
| I think that's the right answer is that you know There are certain people who have that drive that just want | ||
| to travel and be on the road like Scott and just be out there | ||
| pounding the pavement there are other people who have You know that have different talents for whether it be | ||
| communicating sharing information there are other people who just begged in to of their their | ||
| Where they were born when they were born the family they were born to etc different talents where it be it is | ||
| easier for them to run for office based on where they are based on the | ||
| Whatever political denomination that you're you're dealing with the demographics the area etc, etc. The million | ||
| different factors I think God puts you where you need to be, put it that way. | ||
| And, you know, I think that you couldn't really put someone, you know, in there. | ||
| That being said, you know, I see which is more important. | ||
| I think we need them all right now. | ||
| No, I think that what's really important is that people like you and people like us ask that question. | ||
| Because, as Jack is saying, you have to ask yourself, am I taking the talents that I have and using them to make a difference? | ||
| Or at least making the effort to make a difference. | ||
| I mean, you can't always make a difference, but sometimes the effort is a very large part of what your contribution has to be. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think for my... Well, I would say... Oh, go ahead. | |
| Go ahead. | ||
| Well, the reason I'm asking is because I'm a young man myself, 28 years old, currently doing plumbing, traveling across the country doing that, but I feel like I'm being pulled to do something of greater value, including possibly still enlisting in the military at my advanced age. | ||
| But it's just trying to figure out what pathway would be the most effective and most beneficial, not only to myself, but to my community and my country. | ||
| Strike off running for office. | ||
| That's an easy one. | ||
| I would actually tell you that as a person who's not young and not a plumber, that even if I were appointed, I can think of almost nothing worse spiritually for a person than going through the process of trying to become elected To any sub- like any kind of national office. I think it's | ||
| just absolutely soul-murdering But if you up if you were to tell me that I could be | ||
| appointed and not only to Congress but the United States Senate | ||
| I still don't even know if I would take it. It is such an ugly | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hopeless system, you know, it'd be actually I would do it and just get a lot of money | |
| You know what? I would be cool though But he's already a plumber! | ||
| No, no, no, let me throw this out there, because obviously, look, obviously you, look, you're here on Discord, you're talking to us, you clearly have an interest in podcasts, you know, why not start, like, the plumbing channel, like, become, like, the plumbing guy? | ||
| You're doing a podcast, you're on the road, you're talking about stuff, you're talking about the people you meet, maybe you're not given the perfect, you know, like, Yeah, I bet if you got a scope camera and then every once in a while you work in like, oh, this was in their drain and the code in this area is bad. | ||
| And that's why we need something like this. | ||
| You could literally put a camera on a, on a scope, like a snake and show people what's coming out of it. | ||
| No, I actually, I agree with you because you have so many influencers who will talk about the glamour of their useless job. | ||
| I think it would be very interesting to have somebody who's doing something really useful show people how it's done and show people what the lifestyle is like, especially because you're traveling, dude. | ||
| You're going across the country. | ||
| He never said he likes being a plumber, though. | ||
| My brother's a woodworker and he does this all the time. | ||
| He'll post, uh, you know, he's a worker and he does other stuff. | ||
| Um, and you know, he'll post, uh, videos from job sites talking about what he's doing and then he'll work in like something else that's going on. | ||
| But he's, he's a really popular Australian, uh, guy who actually just mows lawns. | ||
| I don't know if you guys have seen him. | ||
| I've seen this. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He mows lawns for free. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then he gets all the revenue via YouTube, et cetera, and people that are giving him money. | ||
| But, you know, that's always something to try. | ||
| Again, like, I don't know how I would do it about plumbing. | ||
| I'm not sure if that would be as easy to film. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, that's actually something that I was looking to do with my pressure washing company that I own back in Georgia. | |
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| I've seen that as well. | ||
| I've seen a lot of that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So cool. | |
| ...communities that could use having their, you know, having their property value brought up just a little bit just to look nicer. | ||
| I mean, even if it doesn't do anything for them, it makes them feel better that they're living in a clean home instead of, you know, some place that's got mold on the outside and uh bacteria growing on the roof and everything like that but as far as uh as far as all that goes it's all great but uh i really do think that we need people um with good hearts and uh good ideas on policies to run for office even though it is a soul crushing and you're absolutely you're right because at the end of the day we do need we need those seats to be filled with our guys | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But the one thing I would say to you, man, is, uh, you know, I was in nursing school, uh, myself when I left the military, I still wanted to be, you know, civil servant to people and help out my community. | ||
| I talked to one of my cousins. | ||
| She's like, look in California, if you become a nurse, you can afford to live out here. | ||
| Um, and so I went to nursing school and it was there that I kind of developed this passion for politics. | ||
| Cause I was talking to a bunch of college age students, a lot of them, Bernie Sanders, socialists, et cetera. | ||
| And I got involved into politics and you know, you're talking about which is the most important, First and foremost, man, I don't know if you're a man of God or if you have faith or what your faith is and beliefs. | ||
| First, talk it over with the big man. | ||
| You gotta kneel down and you gotta say, God, what is your purpose for me? | ||
| And what I will say is, even at the local level, brother, your school board, Your city supervisors, your board of supervisors, your city council is going to make a bigger impact on your day-to-day life and of your children and of your, I don't know if you have kids or if you're married, but either way, even if you're planning on it, these people will have a bigger impact on your community and your day-to-day life than a president potentially could. | ||
| And that's kind of like the hope that I give to Californians. | ||
| It's like, look, I live in one of the most conservative areas in my area. | ||
| In California, believe it or not, the city that I live in, I'm not going to mention it, but it's one of the safest cities in the entire nation. | ||
| And it's in Los Angeles County, but of course people focus on the negative. | ||
| But you have talents, you have things. | ||
| What I would recommend, something that we do at the local level in Los Angeles, is we have meetups for young Republicans. | ||
| You're 28, I'm 35, Young Republicans is an organization from 18 to 40. | ||
| Every once in a while, we will have a meetup and you talk about what you do and if other people might be interested in your services. | ||
| Brother, let me tell you, man, it's one of the best ways to network because people are actively seeking, well, especially now with the parallel economy, If you don't already list your business on Public Square, this is not a paid ad or anything like that, and more conservatives will find you. | ||
| And so if you're looking to get involved politically, at the very least you can do it hyper-local and be like, how can I help one school board member be from Democrat to Republican? | ||
| And how can I do that as a plumber? | ||
| Is it donating? | ||
| Is it volunteering for that campaign? | ||
| And I'm telling you, we have community cleanups in Los Angeles, and we have gardeners that come to the Republican meetups and they're like, hey, I know how to mow lawns. | ||
| Can we just mow someone's lawn in the community? | ||
| I'm like, yeah, absolutely. | ||
| And someone's like, oh, well, I'm a painter. | ||
| Take it local. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Take it local, and people are going to notice, man, and you're going to make political change. | ||
| Like, when we do cleanups, people are impressed that it's young Republicans making the change. | ||
| Like, wait a minute, I was always told that conservatives didn't care about the environment, and here you guys are, you know? | ||
| Dude, we've talked to Thousands of people. | ||
| They're blown away. | ||
| I've had people, because we've been doing these cleanups for years, I've had people fly in from Colorado and they're Democrats. | ||
| And I'm like, bro, we're just here to clean up. | ||
| I made a weekend out of it with my wife. | ||
| We wanted to see the Hollywood star, all this stuff. | ||
| So you'd be very surprised, man. | ||
| Plumbing, it might not be tied into politics per se, but there's a way that you can use the talents God has already given you. | ||
| to help politically, whether it's donating, volunteering, or like, | ||
| hey guys, I'm a conservative plumber. Are you tired of companies, like woke companies that give | ||
| to political parties? I'm a conservative. You want to help me out? And brother, I'm telling you, | ||
| man, the need is out there. I guarantee you God is going to use you and your talents for something. | ||
| All right. Well, anything else to add, my friend? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, just one thing. | |
| Just quickly, yeah, try not to get them talking, because they'll just take off. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You need to go on Shamer with Shamer, and you'll need to have a good conversation with, uh, about, uh, Christianity. | |
| Yeah, go on Shamer! | ||
| Anyone, any of y'all! | ||
| He said me, I should. | ||
| Yeah, all of you, any of you! | ||
| Come on my show! | ||
| Bro, listen, I'm gonna try to set up like a live thing with you on my podcast this week or next week. | ||
| Let's do it. | ||
| Jack and I were talking about maybe baptizing you. | ||
| We're gonna force baptize you. | ||
| Alright, well, thank you Noah. | ||
| I'll talk to you soon. | ||
| Everyone that's haggling me about how much time it's taking, I understand. | ||
| We're going late tonight. | ||
| What's happening? | ||
|
unidentified
|
You aren't even the one suffering. | |
| Bless yourself, brother. | ||
| You guys should all be thanking Kellen, who's the real sufferer, who's gonna really suffer. | ||
| It's not you guys. | ||
| He's gonna be editing like a beast tonight. | ||
| Sammy Football, you are now live. | ||
| What's going on? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey, so a lot of my question, my question actually is for Anthony, and he kind of answered a lot of it in the last one, so I'll make it quick. | |
| Okay. | ||
| I'm big into local politics in Florida. | ||
| I actually ran a campaign, grassroots, and got one of my clients elected against an incumbent to the school board, and she actually didn't receive the governor's endorsement, but we did it, and we got, you know, conservative majority. | ||
| So, and I did it all while reading my Bible. | ||
| So, shout out to that. | ||
| So, that's good. | ||
| Good stuff right there. | ||
| I don't know what I'm doing, but I just let my Bible lead me on that one. | ||
| But you were only reading your Bible, and that's the point I was making earlier. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| But I got to see firsthand how dirty politics gets here in Florida. | ||
| So it's kind of like a two-part question, but you answered one of them already. | ||
| One of them is, have you ever thought that Florida politics is eaten up with fake GOP writing for the Democrats? | ||
| The example is John Rutherford today. | ||
| He was a former sheriff for Duval County and he actually voted present in the shift vote today and also I've been huge and I've been you know we have we see all the moms and everything showing up to school board meetings and I've been begging dads and men even if you're not a dad just men to show up to school board meetings because it that's when change happens because that's when they notice that people are upset. | ||
| So what is What is your advice on this? | ||
| What would you say to the men? | ||
| A lot of times I hear, oh, well, I have grandkids, or oh, I don't have kids. | ||
| What is your advice to men about getting behind these movements? | ||
| Well, first and foremost, as a Christian man, I think it's the duty of every man. | ||
| It doesn't matter if you have kids, if this is not your fight. | ||
| I don't believe in being disengaged from anything. | ||
| So one of the things that made the Armenian parents go so viral is the fact that there were so many men there present and that's what I love about the Armenian community is so many men. | ||
| I've never seen this in the Hispanic community. | ||
| I've never seen this anywhere else where so many men show up. | ||
| So to all the men out there, you know, I know that like the manosphere and there's like a lot of things that men talk about why it's woman's fault and OnlyFans this and that. | ||
| I get a lot of heat for this. | ||
| I think Almost every single problem in America is a fault of men, because we've just been so disengaged. | ||
| We've allowed it to happen. | ||
| If you want all the events to stop existing, then stop signing up for it. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| And it's our role to lead. | ||
| And if you're a Christian man, you truly must believe this, that it is your role Uh, to lead, uh, not just your family, but my community. | ||
| You know, I was reading Philippians today, um, and it was talking about that, like, be selfless. | ||
| You have to live in the service of others. | ||
| And so I, I really despise when, oh, well I homeschool my parents. | ||
| I don't care about this fight. | ||
| This isn't my fight. | ||
| This is not, what's that? | ||
| Homeschool my children. | ||
| Homeschool your children. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Parents say they homeschool. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Homeschool my children. | ||
| But so what we have, what we have. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Homeschool your parents. | ||
| So my answer would be men have to be involved. | ||
| You have to lead. | ||
| It can't just be the woman. | ||
| And I'm telling you, we've done a thing with my statistics. | ||
| I have 155,000 on Instagram. | ||
| 90% of my support comes from women because They don't see any other man standing up in Los Angeles that's just, you know, heeding the call. | ||
| And so to other men, I'm like, dude, you have to show up. | ||
| Oh, well, I work. | ||
| I'm like, dude, everyone works. | ||
| Communists work too. | ||
| And they still show up. | ||
| Communists don't work. | ||
| Hold on a second. | ||
| That is their job when you see them out there like that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I covered the riots of 2020. | |
| I'm telling you, these moms, these dads out there, I'm like, what do you do? | ||
| And I go, I'm a college professor. | ||
| And I'm like, and you came right after work. | ||
| Like, oh, as soon as I got off of work, I had my clothes already. | ||
| I came to protest. | ||
| And they stay there till midnight. | ||
| And they're like, all right, tomorrow I'm going to wake up, take a shower. | ||
| And I'm going to go right back to being a college professor. | ||
| These people work. | ||
| It's one of the biggest scams that the left doesn't work. | ||
| They absolutely do. | ||
| And they actually work two, three times harder than conservatives. | ||
| That's just a fact. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| And the second question to you, when you were saying that, if state parties sometimes, absolutely, state parties love losing. | ||
| The reason is because they can fundraise off of the losing. | ||
| They play off the emotions that people are angry and they've lost. | ||
| So unfortunately, you have a lot of neocons. | ||
| I would certainly agree with this. | ||
| As a guy from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, I've seen it a million times. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, absolutely. | |
| I mean, it's just, you're going to see this in any state. | ||
| And again, it's great that you're from Florida because there's a lot of people that look at Florida and like, oh, what a beacon of hope. | ||
| And sure, in many different ways, but I can't tell you how many Floridians are absolutely pissed that their cost of living has gone up. | ||
| I have people that were renting apartments. | ||
| They had to give up their apartments because like, I can't afford to live here anymore. | ||
| And Ron DeSantis isn't doing anything. | ||
| You know, like no one's taking care of the natives because we have so many implants. | ||
| And again, the line of reasoning from the implants is like, well, sure, rent has gone up, but at least it's not as bad as California. | ||
| Those were high prices. | ||
| At least your gas is cheap. | ||
| And so I feel for a lot of native Floridians who are not being heard. | ||
| And, you know, there was a lot of seats in Florida that got flipped blue, including mayoral races, because they weren't being heard. | ||
| They weren't being heard by the state party. | ||
| The only thing I can tell you is you gotta keep chipping away at it. | ||
| Thank you for everything that you do. | ||
| Kudos on you. | ||
| And sometimes, I know it's hard to keep pressing at it, but man, sometimes when you're doing a lot of the work, it does feel like you're alone. | ||
| All I can do is encourage you. | ||
| It's definitely been rough, but it's been rewarding. | ||
| But it's definitely something I would love to, a conversation I would love to continue with you offline because I know we're strapped for time. | ||
| But I would love to find you on Twitter and talk to you more about it because I have a few more pieces to that puzzle I'd like to expand. | ||
| Thank you guys so much. | ||
| Appreciate it. | ||
| Keep it up. | ||
| Thank you for the call. | ||
| So let's go. | ||
| I think we got our last caller of the night. | ||
| We're in the last one for Stock Gamer and yeah, gas was like $7.95 in Hollywood when I left there. | ||
| It was $7.85 I think when I left. | ||
| I didn't even look when I was there the other day. | ||
| Yeah, it was when I left in October. | ||
| It was like $7.85. | ||
| I was literally in Hollywood. | ||
| Yeah, I lived in Hollywood, so it was like right over the hill on the pass. | ||
| It was 785. | ||
| Was that 87? | ||
| Grade 87 grade? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Or was it 97? | |
| 87, 87, yeah. | ||
| What's up with this 88 grade? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Can we actually use that at the ethanol store? | ||
| You can, yes, you can. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| But what's up, Stock Gamer? | ||
| How are you? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What's up, guys? | |
| Hey, can you hear me? | ||
| Yep, loud and clear. | ||
|
unidentified
|
5x5. | |
| Anthony, Anthony, you know who this is? | ||
| Um, I do not know. | ||
| It's your favorite Jewish homie from LA. | ||
| Hey Raz, what's up, man? | ||
| I was gonna be like, Anthony, it's your stalker. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm outside your house right now. | |
| It sounded familiar, but I'm just like, it could be anyone at this point. | ||
| No, this is, I'll be in your hotel later tonight. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What's up, brother? | |
| Sorry, I'm talking. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What's up, what's up? | |
| So my question is for Anthony, and it's a question that, you know, I love asking him every day, but what will it take for you to leave California? | ||
| Nah man, I'm there for life. | ||
| Trying to get rid of him, huh? | ||
| No, he used to live in California. | ||
| I'm one of the people that he hates. | ||
| What's it take for you to leave? | ||
| Open warrants. | ||
| San Andreas fault. | ||
| When I was talking, we were talking... California left me! | ||
|
unidentified
|
What was the plumber's name? | |
| Noah, right? | ||
| I think. | ||
| Noah Sanders. | ||
| So Noah, so, you know, it's one of those things where like, you know... The other guy's name was Noah. | ||
| The plumber was Noah, not this guy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Oh, I think so, yeah. | ||
| But, you know, one of those things is... | ||
| You have to pray about it. | ||
| I keep praying to God. | ||
| I'm like, look, I have a three, I have a three bedroom home. | ||
| I have a family of five. | ||
| My entire family's in California. | ||
| We love where we live. | ||
| It's a very conservative area. | ||
| We have a lot of sheriffs, you know, a lot of, it's not, we don't see like the homeless. | ||
| It's not a problem in our area. | ||
| This is not. | ||
| My, my thing is, I'm not totally against leaving California, but it has to get that bad. | ||
| But look, my children are getting baptized despite the indoctrination. | ||
| I think, if anything, the persecution is making us stronger Christians. | ||
| And there's this video of a Christian pastor that went to go visit Christians that were imprisoned in China and other countries where Christianity is illegal. | ||
| And the prisoners would say, you know, oh, you know, pray for me to be as strong as you guys in America. | ||
| And like pray for us to like be able to be like Americans. | ||
| Pray for our country to have... And the pastor was just like, you know what? | ||
| I actually pray that Christians in America would be more like you. | ||
| And here's why. | ||
| Because for your faith, you're willing to go to jail. | ||
| And you could be running away. | ||
| You could be like everyone else and just run away, but you're choosing to stay here and spread the gospel through persecution. | ||
| I mean, again, I was reading Philippians today. | ||
| The Apostle Paul was talking about, my brothers, I'm in prison, but glorify that the entire prison is now listening to the gospel of Jesus Christ because they know that I'm being wrongfully persecuted. | ||
| So it's not that I'm trying to liken myself to any apostle or anything like that, but there is power in persecution. | ||
| And Christ talks about this. | ||
| We're going to be persecuted for our beliefs. | ||
| So to me, I find solace that there's a lot of Californians that don't, they can't leave. | ||
| There's people that can, they will, you know, but there's a lot of people that can't. | ||
| The single moms out there that are on that welfare system, they can't leave. | ||
| You know how many people like, and this has been told to me by Republicans that said like, dude, we can't compete with the healthcare in California. | ||
| We don't have better deals with them. | ||
| They just have really good healthcare out there. | ||
| You know, and there's a lot of moms that are like, I can't afford health care if I were to ever leave. | ||
| So I think about my community, Hispanic, Latinos that are first born immigrants that don't have that opportunity. | ||
| And it's nice to have someone like myself and others. | ||
| I'm not the only one. | ||
| There's a lot of fighters out there, a lot of good people that are fighting the good fight, people that do way more than me. | ||
| And they're like hearing the subject of change can happen. | ||
| And we need to stay in fight. | ||
| And if enough of us collectively, even if, you know, people tell me like, Oh, what do you think Trump or Biden in California for 2024? | ||
| You think we can flip it for Trump? | ||
| I'm like, I'm not worried about Trump or Biden. | ||
| You know what I'm worried about? | ||
| Can we flip this school district right here? | ||
| Can we flip this board of supervisors? | ||
| So it's a majority conservative. | ||
| If you focus on the hyperlocal, I promise you, man, like you're going to start seeing change. | ||
| But there's like an old saying that goes, if you're willing to do good, you have to be a man prepared to not sit in the shade of the tree of which you planted the seed of. | ||
| I think I'm butchering it, but it's basically saying, if you're fighting for good, it's a lifelong fight, and you might die and not see... The shade of the tree. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, exactly. | |
| Raz, I love you, bro. | ||
| You're out there doing good things. | ||
| I see you and your family. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You're a king, bro. | |
| But to me, it's just I'm planting my banner. | ||
| And I think that there is hope for California. | ||
| God has not abandoned it. | ||
| And I think that if we start thinking more like this, if we start tweeting out more, plant your banner and fight. | ||
| And if we can get And Jack, that's why I love you, brother, because you were the only one, man, that actually showed up to those. | ||
| And that, you have no idea what you did for everybody that is in California, man. | ||
