| Bye now. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| She just came out right, said, we're gonna go, we're gonna do communism. | ||
| What she actually said was she wants to do federal price-gouging bans. | ||
| And calling on companies to control their prices, which is called price controls, and that is a major component of communism. | ||
| And it's so hilariously bad that even the Washington Post is running an op-ed saying, if you're trying to dodge being called a communist, don't promote price controls. | ||
| It's kind of fascinating that even Washington Post is calling this out. | ||
| So we'll talk about that. | ||
| We got a couple other stories. | ||
| They caught the guy who broke into Trump's campaign office. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| They say, we don't know what he took. | ||
| Yeah, it's because he took information. | ||
| So that'll be interesting. | ||
| And then there's a report that one of the secret service agents working Trump's detail left her post to breastfeed a child. | ||
| I think that might be bad. | ||
| But we'll talk about that. | ||

Hey! | |
| What's up? | ||
| Who are you? | ||
| I am a comedian and a podcaster. | ||
| I live in New York City. | ||
| People know me from The Voice cast and Low Value Mail. | ||
| And I'm here tonight. | ||
| Right on. | ||
| Glad to be back. | ||
| Should be fun. | ||
| Thanks for hanging out. | ||
| Raymond has returned. | ||
| He was so nice. | ||
| We had him on twice. | ||
| Yes, hello friends! | ||
| I earned a second day. | ||
| I work facilities maintenance here at Temcast. | ||
| I do things, and I'm excited for a second chance to talk with y'all. | ||
| I just want to say that everyone who works at Temcast is so smart, even facility maintenance is on the show to explain what's going on in the world. | ||
| It's true though, it's true. | ||
| Raymond knows what he's talking about. | ||
| Well, you were listening to the show for a really long time before you started working here, right? | ||
| Yes, ma'am. | ||
| I think you're a long-time listener, second-time show appearance person. | ||
| Second-time talker. | ||
| Yes, there you are. | ||
| I'm Hannah Klob-Remmel. | ||
| I'm a writer for scnr.com, Scanner News. | ||
| Thank you guys for tuning in. | ||
| Let's get started. | ||
| So here's the big news from the New York Times. | ||
| Harris will back federal ban on price gouging, campaign says. | ||
| The vice president is leaning to an effort to partly blame big companies for inflation as progressives have pushed her to embrace the argument. | ||
| Progressives that are pushing for that argument are excusing the warmongering, the hundreds of billions of dollars spent on foreign wars which we should not be involved in, which are driving up prices. | ||
| Donald Trump, however, made it quick when he explained what this is. | ||
|

|
Now Kamala is reportedly proposing communist price control. | |
| She wants price controls. | ||
| And if they worked, I'd go along with it too, but they don't work. | ||
| They actually have the exact opposite impact and effect. | ||
| But it leads to food shortages, rationing, hunger. | ||
| He's completely correct. | ||
| I also just want to point out, how come he has Folgers, Honey Bunches of Oats, and sausages next to him? | ||
| A little prop to show things that people can't afford anymore. | ||
| Yeah, I guess that's it. | ||
| And to round things off, I'm impressed, guys. | ||
| The Washington Post. | ||
| When your opponent calls you communist, maybe don't propose price controls. | ||
| It's hard to exaggerate how bad Kamala Harris' price-gouging proposal is. | ||
| Wow! | ||
| Washington Post! | ||
| Yeah, they're really in trouble. | ||
| I don't want to say that the Washington Post new management might actually be getting somewhere. | ||
| They were saying, hey, going further to the left doesn't make any money. | ||
| We have to change positions. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, they're doing that. | ||
| But you know what? | ||
| This might be the one time this works. | ||
| I know it's never worked before, but just let them try this one more time. | ||
| What was that meme where someone was like, it was that woman from Al Jazeera Plus or whatever, and she said, I know that a lot of people have complained that socialism doesn't work, but just because something isn't done right the first time doesn't mean you just give up. | ||
| And then someone responded with like, she said something like, it's like cooking, and a guy responded with like, oops, burn the souffle, and it showed the killing fields or whatever. | ||
| It's just like really atrocious, literal atrocities happening. | ||
| Oops! | ||
| So when you lose Washington Post—so real quick, I'll keep it real simple. | ||
| Price controls don't work because you can't control one—you can't pin down one piece of the economy and then expect the rest of the economy to function properly. | ||
| It's like dangling from the power lines. | ||
| Eventually they're going to snap. | ||
| It's going to cause problems down the line. | ||
| Price controls are like when those, you ever see the video where the women SWAT team were trying to jump? | ||
| Yeah, the games or whatever and she loses her gun in the pool? | ||
| Yeah, and they're trying to swing across a cable and they all just sink to the middle. | ||
| That's what price controls do. | ||
| Price controls are effectively five Women on a SWAT team trying to slide across the cable all at once and then sinking to the middle and everyone gets stuck and stops. | ||
| Cue the Benny Hill music. | ||
| And then falls into the water. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, it's not... I have a friend, actually, I was saying, because he runs a chain of grocery stores, basically, and he's like, our margins are not... they haven't gone up. | ||
| Our margins are not way higher. | ||
| Like, we just, we have our regular margins. | ||
| Yes, inflation's higher, but our costs are higher. | ||
| But we're like, we're not making crazy money here. | ||
| So for you to do that, you're like, okay, well, maybe we'll stop carrying these products. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I just, I feel bad. | ||
| Look, I know not everybody watches the news every single day. | ||
| Not everybody can. | ||
| You know, if you're a plumber, you're going to go plum, and then you're going to come back, and you're going to try and get what news you can. | ||
| Maybe you're watching Tim Castile. | ||
| We try to do our best. | ||
| So a lot of people don't understand, I don't know, Economics 101. | ||
| And it literally is Economics 101. | ||
| I googled this to be like, let's get the economics professor's argument, and it's a bunch of just students being like, econ 101, here's what price controls do. | ||
| It doesn't work. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| And I'm like, oh, wow, it's actually that simple, huh? | ||
| I mean, they did it in Canada. | ||
| I'm from Canada. | ||
| They did it in Pierre Trudeau, Justin Trudeau's father did it in the 70s, and it just led to stagflation or recession. | ||
| It didn't work. | ||
| But we should try again, right? | ||
| We shouldn't give up on this great idea. | ||
| I don't want to be quitters. | ||
| There are different reports. | ||
| I was watching something from NBC today where they're saying, you know, she's proposing this idea. | ||
| And actually, this is something that the Biden administration also suggested. | ||
| And so therefore, she's just carrying on the legacy, which is to say, Her plan so far is to steal Trump's talking points and then also propose bad ideas that are currently making your life unaffordable. | ||
| This does not sound like a winning message to me. | ||
| Yeah, well, she ran out of stuff. | ||
| Probably she looked at Trump's proposals and she's like, oh, those seem like good things to do, but I can't do those because I'll just be stealing those. | ||
| So this is what she came up with. | ||
| Trump had a press conference today, and thank you for saying it, Donald Trump. | ||
| He's like, Kamala says, day one, she's going to do it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's been three years. | |
| Do it now. | ||
| You're in office now. | ||
| I was like, yes! | ||
| I can't understand that literally anybody would miss that. | ||
| I mean, every single person anywhere, even six-year-olds are probably like, but isn't she the vice president? | ||
| Maybe the president. | ||
| Maybe she doesn't even know what she's doing. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| She's like, am I? | ||
| And they're going to switch from Bidenomics to KamaUnism. | ||
| Well, that's what she's trying to do. | ||
| But I really do think we're likely going to see her roll out campaign policies that are Trump. | ||
| Remember how Biden did the speech, the State of the Union, and it was basically just a Trump speech? | ||
| Yeah, they realized at a certain point they were like, we are way off base, we can't maintain power, promising these things that are deeply unpopular. | ||
| The only thing they can do is try and pivot. | ||
| Here's my theory. | ||
| In the 2000s, when you start getting the rise of social media, which turns into these blogs, which start promoting whatever the algorithms want, results in the intersectional woke rise in the early 2010s. | ||
| And I've been saying this since then. | ||
| The Democrats are chasing themselves into the toilet. | ||
| They're chasing the whirlpool in a circle. | ||
| What happens is, some Democrat politician, like AOC or whatever, sees everyone online saying psychotic, garbled, far-left nonsense, and she goes, I better say that. | ||
| Meanwhile, regular people are going, what is she doing? | ||
| What is she promoting? | ||
| And they keep going after the fringe element. | ||
| But these fringe elements on social media keep one-upping each other. | ||
| So, like, the way it works algorithmically, I was talking about this years and years ago. | ||
| What happens is, you know, one of these lefty blogs will write, Donald Trump said racist thing. | ||
| Or like Donald Trump accused of racism. | ||
| That's what it'll be. | ||
| And they'll get a million views. | ||
| And then the editor goes, wow, that story did really well. | ||
| Like people must think Trump's racist. | ||
| Run a story. | ||
| Trump is racist. | ||
| Then they do, a million views. | ||
| Then they go, wow, that did really well. | ||
| What do we do now? | ||
| Well, we already said he was racist. | ||
| He's the most racist. | ||
| So the next day they one-up it. | ||
| He's the most racist. | ||
| Then the next day it's, no one's ever been more racist than him. | ||
| Then he may be as bad as Hitler. | ||
| Then he is as bad as Hitler. | ||
| And then finally he's worse than Hitler. | ||
| And so what ends up happening is people like Kamala Harris and Joe Biden chase voters on that premise | ||
| until eventually the whole thing explodes because you can't go any further than you already did. | ||
| And they have to be like, OK, we're losing voters because we're insane. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And he's objectively not worse than Hitler. | ||
| So people are like. | ||
| Kind of for a bit. | ||
| People are like, OK, well, we're going to wait. | ||
| He still has some time to maybe catch up to that. | ||
| And then they're like, OK, well, they still say it, though. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, also, Trump's smarter about this, too, because he wants to make energy cheaper, which is like one of the biggest inputs in food. | ||
| So he's like, yeah, your food will come down when we figure out the energy thing. | ||
| Kamala is just going straight to the source, essentially being like, we're going to put price caps when because you can't steal his thing again. | ||
| Right now. | ||
| She probably will try later. | ||
| She's going to be dig baby dig. | ||
| The thing is, with Kamala, it's that there is no plan. | ||
| And I think some of that has to do with the fact that she is also as surprised as we all are that she's gotten this opportunity. | ||
| In part, you know, there is not a strong understanding of economics on the left. | ||
| So whoever's advising her campaign probably is like, I've heard price, you know, I think, you know, controlling prices would really help you out. | ||
| She's like, great idea, because she doesn't know. | ||
| The problem with a lot of her campaign is that she has this tie to the Biden economy. | ||
| And the Biden economy is bad. | ||
| People cannot afford things. | ||
| Groceries are too expensive. | ||
| Everything you own is becoming more costly. | ||
| So they either need to say, well, she was the vice president. | ||
| She couldn't do anything about it, which means that she has no experience and has basically been a lame duck for the last four years. | ||
| She's useless. | ||
| Or she's as responsible as Biden, at which point she needs to answer for why things are so bad. | ||
| They're trying to sidestep that. | ||
| It's actually worse. | ||
| And Trump, he really hit this on the press conference he had earlier. | ||
| He said, Kamala may be worse than Joe Biden because she actually voted for these things. | ||
| Joe Biden just signs off on them. | ||
| When Congress or the Democrats try and pass these bills, Biden is just there saying, yeah, sure, whatever. | ||
| Kamala's actually casting the tie-breaking votes in the Senate to move these bills to his desk. | ||
| That is actually worse. | ||
| Didn't she vote against stopping taxes on tips at one point too? | ||
| I had seen an old article. | ||
| I'm pretty sure that's her original idea. | ||
| She came up with that solely. | ||
| So there was a bill that would have increased IRS scrutiny on tips so that it could be taxed. | ||
| She cast the tie-breaking vote to advance this spending bill, which included those provisions. | ||
| So it wasn't like the bill was literally tax tips and she went, aha! | ||
| And she rubber-stamped it. | ||
| It was this big package. | ||
| That was the 87,000 new IRS. | ||
| It was the Inflation Reduction Act. | ||
| Is that what it was? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| It's not hard to figure out where the proposal came from. | ||
| Voters want to blame someone for high grocery bills. | ||
| And the presidential candidates have apparently decided the choices are either Biden administration or corporate greed. | ||
| Harris has chosen the latter. | ||
| The Subway story today? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Subway's having an emergency meeting because sales are down and they're struggling. | ||
| And certainly, I think it's fair to say that Subway's had some issues with maybe a spokesperson, you know? | ||
| I think it was great! | ||
| There was this great post from Chef Gruhl, where he's basically saying, like, Subway's value proposition to customers is fast, low cost, easy food, fresh, right in front of you. | ||
| And for the franchisees, it's all of these ingredients are out of the bag, ready to go. | ||
| You get them in the fridge, boom, tomatoes, boom, onions, chop, slice, bang, ready to go. | ||
| So, apparently what's happened is, As inflation has increased, certain food items became too expensive. | ||
| So Subway says nobody's going to want to buy a $12 sandwich if we include this particular meat product or vegetable, so we can't sell it. | ||
| So then they remove those items, less people then go to Subway, now they're not selling enough sandwiches, then they've got to increase costs, now nobody really wants to buy any of it, and now Subway is suffering because And the cost of the build outs because they were famously, it was cheap to start our subway franchise because there was no ovens or anything like that. | ||
| And now that like that, even without that stuff, it's still through the roof. | ||
| Yup. | ||
| And so I was talking about this earlier this morning. | ||
| There was a food truck by us and it was barbecue. | ||
| And I went there one day. | ||
| And they said, no more, no, no more brisket. | ||
| And I was like, wow, but your barbecue, you know, brisket. | ||
| And he said, the cost of beef is so high. | ||
| In order for me to break even selling them at cost, it'd be a $20 sandwich. | ||
| Yeah, he's like, no one will buy that. | ||
| So what's the point of me carrying beef anymore? | ||
| So now it's just pulled pork and chicken. | ||
| And then he went out of business. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, if you go if you ever go to any like, I do this all the time in New York, because if you ever go to a restaurant, And I'll go on like, you know, Google Maps or whatever to look for it. | ||
| And then when you, you know, they have the photos and you click on the photos of the menu, just see what's on the menu. | ||
| The menu prices are nowhere near, these are not old photos. | ||
| And you go to the actual restaurant, you're like, every single item is so much more expensive than two years ago. | ||
| Man, I love Subway too. | ||
| I don't. | ||
| It's the quality kind of has dropped off. | ||
| I haven't been there in a long time. | ||
| Go there, you'll be like, it tastes pretty, it's pretty bland. | ||
| Really? | ||
| That's sad. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Sad. | ||
| Well, it sounds good. | ||
| It does. | ||
| Let's jump to this. | ||
| We got this story here. | ||
| This is funny. | ||
| We have this tweet from Curtis Hoke. | ||
| And it's it's Peter Doocy. | ||
| And this is really funny because he's giving Karine Jean-Pierre a layup. | ||
| Axios is reporting that Kamala is trying to distance herself from Biden's unpopularity on the economy. | ||
| And Karine Jean-Pierre is so stupid. | ||
| She's like, nah, nah, Kamala is part of the administration. | ||
| You gotta hear this. | ||
| This is amazing. | ||
| Shout out to Doocy. | ||
| When did you guys learn that Vice President Harris wants to distance herself from Bidenomics? | ||
| Why do you think that? | ||
| Axios is now reporting that she is hoping to distance herself from President Biden's unpopularity on the economy. | ||
| Can you blame her? | ||
| Do you know this is the Biden-Harris administration? | ||
| Are you aware that this is the Biden-Harris administration? | ||
| This is indeed the Vice President. | ||
| policies on the economy were working, or if they were popular, wouldn't he still be the | ||
| candidate? | ||
| You literally just had the chair of the CEA here who laid out a pretty robust point-by-point | ||
| about the economy and what's had to happen under the Biden-Harris administration. | ||
| And I thought it was pretty convincing. | ||
| Look, as far as anything that the vice president wants to do, or as she's talking about her | ||
| policy, that's campaign-related, you would have to speak to her. | ||
| One thing that I know for sure, that I know for sure, is that this President, this Vice President, are fighting very hard. | ||
| Uh, to make sure that the middle class is stronger. | ||
| Uh, they wanted to make sure that we're working to cut taxes for the middle class, for working people, uh, slashing costs, uh, for working families, as you have seen them do over and over again. | ||
| This is something that we believe in. | ||
| You heard, uh, you heard Jared talk about announcements this week about lowering costs, and that is something that they believe in. | ||
| And the contrast could not be What? | ||
| Has Donald Trump come out and been like, we need more inflation? | ||
| is between what Republicans want to do. | ||
| Maginomics, you're talking about by dynamics, maginomics, supercharge inflation. | ||
| That's what they want to do. | ||
| Race. | ||
| What has Donald Trump come on? | ||
| Like we need more inflation. | ||
| But let me just let me just we'll play the rest of the clip, I guess. | ||
| The middle class by thousands of dollars. | ||
| Send tax cuts through the roof. | ||
| Protect corporate price. | ||
| Send tax cuts. | ||
| That sounds like a good thing. | ||
| Yeah, cut Social Security cost millions their health care and heap tax giveaways on billionaires and big corporations | ||
| That's the division what I love with this clip Kamala is probably sitting going stop stop stop | ||
| She's trying as hard as she can to say that she's not involved. | ||
| She's literally saying on day one, I'll fix these problems. | ||
| And Karine Jean-Pierre is like, what do you mean? | ||
| Kamala's been here the whole time. | ||
| She's been fixing them. | ||
| Yeah, right? | ||
| She's fighting very, very hard right now. | ||
| She's... | ||
| During the first two years, I felt like a very serious push from Harris's camp to say, you have to stop calling it the Biden administration. | ||
| It's the Biden-Harris administration. | ||
| She wanted her name on there. | ||
| Nobody heard from her for three years. | ||
| And that was because she wasn't capable of anything. | ||
| But that's apparently besides the point now that she is the incumbent. | ||
| First three years, everybody was like, where is she? | ||
| Let me play this. | ||
| Let me play this. | ||
| But would you admit, at least, that if Bynomics was more popular, President Biden would still be the candidate? | ||
| I'm not gonna get into polling. | ||
| What I will tell you is Bynomics has been something that both the president and the vice president has worked on. | ||
| You guys have called it Bynomics. | ||
| Is she intentionally sabotaging Kamala Harris? | ||
| Let me tell you, Bynomics, people are upset right now with the economy, and she's like, nope, nope, Kamala did it. | ||
| Right, she did. | ||
| And people love the economy. | ||
| They must be mad at her at a certain point, right? | ||
| Like, she was primed and ready to take this position, now they're all tied to this sinking ship, which is the Biden-no-Harris administration because she's out on the campaign trail. | ||
| I wonder if just because their polling's good, she's like, doesn't even matter. | ||
| Maybe they're starting to kind of feel like it's a runaway train and she doesn't even care. | ||
| I don't know, CNN actually did this reporting where they said if you compare 2016-20 and 2024 polling, if you look at the 2016 polling in actuals, 2020 polling in actuals, and polling today, they were like, consistently Democrats are favored, like erroneously. | ||
| And if you were to compare the actual numbers, Trump is actually up by like two points. | ||
| I think they're over-polled too, like they're disproportionately poll Democrats. | ||
| I mean, I think it's going to be a repeat of 2016 where it's going to seem like Harris is going to win. | ||
| And then she's gonna lose on election day. | ||
| I had heard a pollster who said he was actually having a hard time getting people to take part in polls and he was saying it's like because they are all decided and you know whatever else but I actually wonder if it's because people are tired of it, right? | ||
| Like they are kind of set on who they're gonna vote for and they just kind of want the election to be over with. | ||
| I think one of the issues is that a lot of polling these days are just internet. | ||
| Or phone calls. | ||
| And man, think of the type of person who picks up their phone from an unknown number and just has a five-minute call. | ||
| But the phone call thing I get, that's how they always have done it, knocking on someone's door. | ||
| But now it's just internet. | ||
| Now you'll be browsing YouTube and you'll get an ad pop-up ping like, take a survey. | ||
| And then they're just going to say, well, our data suggests this individual was a 34-year-old woman, so it must be correct. | ||
| And who knows? | ||
| These polls could be based on Somebody watching a video, the pollster then thinks the person watching the video, because the data being sent to them is a 34-year-old woman from Indiana, and it's like a 17-year-old guy in India working on a bot farm. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And then he's just like, I want to vote for Trump, you know what I mean? | ||
| But for real, we don't even know if these online polls are actually accurate. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| They're not tracking the data heavily enough, it's just making assumptions. | ||
| And then, sure, they have their margins of error, they have their science or whatever, And I mean, a lot can happen between now and November. | ||
| I mean, Trump has his sentencing on September 18th. | ||
| I'm excited. | ||
| Yeah, we're gonna have a party. | ||
| We're gonna order pizza. | ||
| What day is that? | ||
| September 18th. | ||
| It's like a Wednesday. | ||
| Wednesday. | ||
| But I mean, he has a sentencing. | ||
| I can't, there was, I think, the daughter of the judge, Juan Mercer, apparently, but apparently she's saying he's gonna get a year in jail. | ||
| And there's like, rumors that they're preparing a section of Rikers Island currently. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Whoa. | |
| For Trump's arrival. | ||
| Maybe that's why Harris won't agree to any other... Yeah, she's like, haha, I know something you don't know. | ||
| It's like one on September 10th and then we won't talk about it. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| Oh, wow, really? | ||
| I mean, yeah. | ||
| Yeah, there's a rumor that Rikers is getting prepared for the... Wait, you saw that on Twitter? | ||
| On Twitter, yeah. | ||
| Just type in Rikers Island. | ||
| Rikers. | ||
| Well, it was not... I mean, again, I said rumor. | ||
| I said rumor. | ||
| On the polling thing, I participate in YouGov polling. | ||
| And they ask you at the beginning, like, who you are, color, race, age, and stuff. | ||
| And they don't know me. | ||
| I could just put in whatever. | ||
| I could say I'm 13. | ||
| I could say I'm 75. | ||
| So the polls, if they're online, the YouGov can be very inaccurate results. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I wouldn't trust the polling. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean... | |
| Also, even the betting markets. | ||
| Like, she has so much money. | ||
| Everybody's like, the betting markets are so much in favor of Kamala Harris. | ||
| She could be just betting on herself and then that changes the odds. | ||
| And I like saying I'm a Democrat. | ||
| Or it's just... I don't think... The prediction markets, I think, are people just... | ||
|
unidentified
|
You bet, yeah. | |
| But when you look at the polls, the prediction markets will also move based on what the polling suggests. | ||
| Shapiro was 90% at one point. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| He was like almost a lock. | ||
| Sometimes I feel like with- I mean, Biden was. | ||
| Biden was at 90-something percent for the Democrat nominee. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| And it's funny because in September of last year, I said, he won't be the nominee, he can't be, I don't understand how they do this. | ||
| If somebody watching that episode was just like, he's probably right, and then went and made a huge bet, the odds were so, so tremendous back then. | ||
| Because you don't have to bet on someone you actually want to vote for. | ||
| You just bet on who you want. | ||
| You're just betting on what you think the actual outcome will be. | ||
| And you're betting against, you're not even betting against the House. | ||
| You're literally just, there's another person on the other side of that who's just taking the other side of it. | ||
| Whereas, even with polls, like, you know, unless you're Raymond G and you're lying about all your demographics. | ||
| I didn't say I lied all this time. | ||
| Like, theoretically, they're polling registered voters who are likely to vote or who have kind of interests or whatever else. | ||
| Like, they're asking them their personal opinion as opposed to, like, You know, if you give us the right answer, you can get some money. | ||
| That's what the betting markets are doing. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I mean, it's really interesting. | ||
| I'm going to kind of tack back for a second. | ||
| Like, they're talking about the economy. | ||
| We've been saying for a little while, I feel like at least this week, that Trump really needs to just focus on the issues because getting into the, like, mean girl name-calling and who's weird and who's not, like, it's a waste of time. | ||
| And part of it is like, Kamal Harris doesn't have any policies. | ||
| I was actually saying this week, because I was like, why isn't anybody talking? | ||
| Neither of them are talking about home affordability, which seems to be a big issue. | ||
| And there's apparently tomorrow she's gonna release for I think it's like a first time home buyer. | ||
| If you've paid your rent on time for two years, like a $25,000. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I heard that she was going to announce that the government will manufacture a large block housing unit system in all major cities, and everyone will be allowed one unit, and then you'll get a book for which you can go to the store to ration out your... Ooh, that sounds nice! | ||
| That is true, that was a joke. | ||
| I mean, it makes sense, there are no more coconuts left in the tree, so we have to resort to new things. | ||
| You know that meme where it's like, you wouldn't last one week in the asylum I grew up in or whatever? | ||
| Taylor Swift lyric. | ||
| Is it really? | ||
| My favorite one is the, you wouldn't last one hour in the coconut tree I fell out of. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's a good one. | |
| Someone dump that song. | ||
| You big Swifty? | ||
| You know, I dabble. | ||
| What are they doing with ISIS? | ||
| We're not organized right now. | ||
| Honestly, I saw that Isis thing. | ||
| Big mistake, Isis. | ||
| That is not the people you want to go after. | ||
| And now they're all braced for the London shows. | ||
| Isises? | ||
| No, the Swift. | ||
| Oh, I was like, if I was Isis, I'd be like putting out an apology video saying like... We're not sorry. | ||
| Wires crossed. | ||
| You know, there was that big bombing at the Manchester Ariana Grande contest. | ||
| So now that we have this like get mass gathering of Swifties in London for, you know, I don't think she has like five or six shows there. | ||
| Yeah, it's kind of interesting because now you have all these high strung women who are gonna be on high alert for something bad. | ||
| Like, this is the worst thing you could have done to a European city, I think, but you know. | ||
| You know, what I also find funny, there's an op-ed in the New York Times where they're saying Trump calling Kamala a communist is a sign that he's scared because red-baiting is the same as race-baiting, which is like so desperate to me. | ||
| All right, let's jump to this next story. | ||
| This is from the Washington Post. | ||
| Trump seeks delay in New York hush money case sentencing until after the election. | ||
| Trump's lawyers asked a judge to delay sentencing for his criminal conviction for falsifying business records scheduled for September 18th until after the election. | ||
| I don't think they'll delay it. | ||
| And we've got this tweet now. | ||
| This was just brought up by Hannah Clare and Danny here. | ||
| Tony Saruga says, multiple high-level sources have stated, the New York City Department of Correction is making arrangements for Donald J. Trump's arrival at Rikers Island in September. | ||
| He tweeted this. | ||
| This is just yesterday. | ||
| President Trump will 100% be sentenced to prison on September 18th. | ||
| I'm told the sentence will be one year, but we'll see. | ||
| The Marxist judge could change the sentencing at the last minute, but he's definitely sentencing President Trump to at least one year. | ||
| Rikers Island already has special accommodations ready. | ||
| This is two months before the election. | ||
| This has got 3.1 million views. | ||
| I don't know what his source is. | ||
| This guy is just a contractor. | ||
| He's a philanthropist. | ||
| CIA whistleblower? | ||
| Is that what he says? | ||
| CIA, NSA contractor, whistleblower, Intel Ops? | ||
| I'm assuming he's probably got some sources, but it is all rumors right now. | ||
| However, Hannah Clare made a good point. | ||
| Kamala's not committing to any dates past September 10th for a debate because she maybe knows something Trump doesn't. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| I mean, that's a massive wrench in this whole thing, if he's literal. | ||
| I don't think my brain can actually process the idea that... | ||
| I think it'd be really hard to wrap your mind around that in one summer somebody shot him while on stage at a rally and then they sent him to prison. | ||
| That's really crazy optics. | ||
| But also when Trump has these kind of momentous legal moments, I think back to the Atlanta mugshot release, support for Trump surges. | ||
| It would be more about ego if there was, you know, a judge or someone who was like, no, we have to send Trump to prison. | ||
| Like, they are no longer playing the long game at that point. | ||
| Because you can still run for president from prison, at least for federal office. | ||
| He gets elected. | ||
| He wins on November 5th. | ||
| Like, do they bring cameras into the prison? | ||
| I don't know! | ||
| Is he just sleeping? | ||
| The state's gonna argue— Is he watching on his little, like, see-through TV? | ||
| They're gonna say, it doesn't matter if he's president, he's still in prison at the state level. | ||
| So can he pardon himself? | ||
| Not at the state level. | ||
| So then what, just the first eight months of his term is just, he's incarcerated? | ||
| Would he need HOKL? | ||
| Governor of New York to pardon him? | ||
| You think he could do that? | ||
| I gotta be honest, if it were me, and I was sentenced, and we know these charges are nonsense, they're psychotic, I would just instruct the Secret Service to open the doors. | ||
| I don't think the Secret Service has the... they would have to instruct the actual guards of the prison. | ||
| Like, I think the Secret Service is essentially... Like a jurisdiction question. | ||
| Well, they don't have... they can't just open up the jails. | ||
| I assume they're just there to protect you from other prisoners while the COs do their job. | ||
| But a lot of times... | ||
| State agencies, like when, you know, the FBI or some other federal law enforcement agency comes in, they're like, okay, we defer to you. | ||
| Like, does that work for the Secret Service as well? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Guys, if I was the president and New York locked me up, if I was in jail and then I got elected and they said, you're the president now and it doesn't matter, you're not leaving, I'd be like, okay, send in the army, insurrection act. | ||
| Like, there's just, there's no question. | ||
| They're not going to keep the president of the United States in a state jail. | ||
| It's not happening. | ||
| Well, will they keep him at least up until, like, you know, how many days after the election that they let him out? | ||
| I think they'll lock him up. | ||
| Because you go Shawshank style. | ||
| I have a lot of people saying house arrest, because he's too complicated to keep in prison. | ||
| You can't actually do that, but that would still take him off the trail. | ||
| If Trump has an ankle monitor, I'm going to lose my mind. | ||
| I thought house arrest, but Brandon Strzok made a better point. | ||
| He said, why stop? | ||
| He's like, why would you make the argument that they're going to be tempered now when they've been going as hard as possible nonstop the whole time? | ||
| And I'm like, yeah, good point. | ||
| They went the hardest possible about a month ago in Butler. | ||
| Who is they though? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Head trap. | ||
| Isn't it weird though that the last, I hate to steal that word, Trump. | ||
| The people who hate Trump. | ||
| Correct. | ||
| That's how I describe it. | ||
| Like, the people who hate Trump, they hate him so much that one of them tried to kill | ||
| Donald Trump. | ||
| We don't know how it happened, how he was let in. | ||
| There's new photos of him. | ||
| We still don't know anything. | ||
| There's a photo of him walking around with a gun. | ||
| There's a photo that came out showing him walking around early with a gun and like nobody | ||
| stopped him, nobody said anything. | ||
| Crazy, huh? | ||
| I don't buy it. | ||
| We're waiting for the classic FBI. | ||
| It's been, what, a month? | ||
| And we just don't know anything. | ||
| But we can talk about Iran, right? | ||
| Sure. | ||
| They're up to bad stuff. | ||
| There's such a shift in that narrative now. | ||
| What I was going to say is, isn't it weird that the last debate of this cycle could be the vice presidential debate? | ||
| Normally it's like you get a presidential debate, you might get two, and then a vice-presidential debate, and then the last one is typically another presidential debate. | ||
| There's like three every cycle. | ||
| But Kamala's only agreed to this one in September, even though Trump has offered multiple. | ||
| Vance and Walz have agreed to this October 1st debate, so that would be a VP debate. | ||
| J.D. | ||
| Vance has offered to debate earlier in September. | ||
| But maybe Trump is going to be in prison, and that's why we're not scheduling more debates. | ||
| Everything seems so out of rhythm. | ||
| Not even like a regular jail, too. | ||
| Rikers Island. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Kamala, if she was smart, she'd debate him in prison. | ||
| That'd be so funny. | ||
|
unidentified
|
On the phones? | |
| Just on the phones, through the glass. | ||
| She shows up, and they get a stage, and then he's in an orange jumpsuit, and they're making him do the debate. | ||
| And instead of regular people who are into politics and go watch it, it's all of them. | ||
| It's just all the people Kamala Harris locked up. | ||
| He'd win in a landslide like that. | ||
| I mean, people say that, that if he gets arrested he's gonna win, but he got shot in the face. | ||
| Shot in the face, 34 felony convictions. | ||
| And he's not up in the polls, so I don't know what that means. | ||
| I think this country is just hyper-polarized and on the verge of falling apart. | ||
| Well, I also think they stopped talking about the assassination attempt. | ||
| He's just saying they stopped. | ||
| All of this investigation that we should hear about nonstop is like third tier news right now. | ||
| Because Biden announced, literally, he had so much heat and so much juice from the assassination. | ||
| It was all going his way. | ||
| And then Biden, six days later, basically, is like, I'm not running. | ||
| And then that was the new story. | ||
| That was the only way Democrats could reclaim power. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, it was a smart move. | ||
| And the news cycles so fast. | ||
| You know, it's here. | ||
| I mean, it's fast, but it was an assassination attempt of a presidential candidate. | ||
| But now everyone has to, like, all the journalists have to do this. | ||
| It's not like preseason football is back on. | ||
| No, it's totally different. | ||
| People do have to do all this research to be like, well, Kamala, what was her background? | ||
| Oh, there's walls now. | ||
| Actually, it might be Shapiro. | ||
| Like, there are sort of all of this narrative building that they sit like mainstream media has to do that I can understand where they think this is the priority over this like really slow and unclear investigation into the FBI and Secret Service led by Congress. | ||
| I mean, if this was the other way around, the news story cycle would be, why is this investigation so slow? | ||
| What is going on here? | ||
| Because they would care about it. | ||
| Well, they would care and they would make it a focal point. | ||
| They're choosing not to. | ||
| Do you think that American people have forgotten it the way the mainstream media has? | ||
| I mean, some people, I mean, half the country didn't care to begin with. | ||
| But people who care about it, I feel like that made them more motivated. | ||
| It was interesting to me how many people, because we went to Milwaukee for the RNC right after and I would Uber to the convention, and these people would be like, yeah, I didn't really care about it, but that was a big moment. | ||
| I think even if the mainstream media isn't talking about it, there are average voters who cannot get the image of Trump standing up on that stage out of their head. | ||
| Yeah, well. | ||
| It is actually interesting that, you know, it's a month out from the assassination attempt and it's just not really news anymore. | ||
| No. | ||
| That's kind of nuts. | ||
| I mean, honestly, you hear, granted JFK was a different story, but it's like, that is like a pivotal moment. | ||
| That's like a milestone moment in this country's history. | ||
| If Trump were to have not tilted his head and died, It's not only that we would be still talking about it, but Joe Biden would be using it as an excuse for authoritarian lockdowns control, just crazy. | ||
| He might not have stepped down. | ||
| He might not have stepped down. | ||
| They'd enact crazy electoral changes and be like, there's going to be security, police everywhere now. | ||
| This is during an election. | ||
| Oh, they would blame Iran or Russia and then use that as justification to put security | ||
| and policing all over the place. | ||
| And gun violence, right? | ||
| They would be like, look, this is what happens. | ||
| We really need to break, have gun restrictions everywhere. | ||
| I mean, it would be wild the number of things they would pin to that. | ||
| Tim Walz, when he got his vice presidential, when he gave his speech or whatever, and he | ||
| was talking about guns, it's like, you didn't reference this thing. | ||
| You didn't even choose to reference because you probably would like... | ||
| But Democrats can't acknowledge it at all because if you remind anyone of it, it's such | ||
| a terrible piece of Trump paper. | ||
| On the topic of restricting guns and gun control, you're like, they won't even point to that | ||
| thing because it's bad for them. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, I suppose it's going to be one heck of an election season. | ||
| It certainly feels like there's ebbs and flows to the chaos cycle. | ||
| Like, one day a far leftist walks up to a guy in the middle of the street in Portland and just blasts him in the chest, killing him. | ||
| And the next day you're sitting there, it's a slow news day and Kamala's talking about, you know, not having policies or whatever. | ||
| What ends up happening is whenever there's something in the news that's extreme or terrifying, like Trump's sentencing or Trump's conviction, people get that sinking feeling like, holy crap. | ||
| But then, as everybody waits, it slowly starts to normalize. | ||
| People start to adapt to these circumstances, and then now it just feels normal again, and you feel like nothing is going to change. | ||
| So let me just stress how far we've gone. | ||
| They first accused Donald Trump of being a spy, a traitor to his country, who was put in this position as president by a foreign adversary. | ||
| They impeached him twice. | ||
| They accused him of an insurrection against this country. | ||
| They failed. | ||
| They charged him multiple times, accused him of rape. | ||
| These things are all nonsensical. | ||
| They arrested his lawyers. | ||
| They arrested the Republican elector slates that did not win the election but were filing the paperwork. | ||
| They arrested many of them. | ||
| Donald Trump has been convicted now on 34 counts of made-up charges without due process. | ||
| There's no underlying crime. | ||
| The charging document literally says, another crime that was never, never adjudicated. | ||
| Trump never got due process. | ||
| Then someone shot him in the face. | ||
| Just think about how far things have gotten in this country. | ||
| And so when I'm talking about this stuff, and I'm like, you know, 2018, like, man, this street-level violence, if this polarization reaches the government, that's how you get civil war. | ||
| And everyone's like, oh, shut up. | ||
| Now add all those things together, and people are still like, oh, shut up. | ||
| I'm like, someone shot Trump in the face. | ||
| I think in the head, his ear, I want to be clear. | ||
| In the head area. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The head area. | |
| I love that the head and face are not the same thing. | ||
| Not the same thing. | ||
| I'm really hoping for, I think, a tie. | ||
| That's what I was saying before, but the tie scenario... Are you going to share the... No, the tie scenario, and it's possible, 269-269, it's actually a possible thing. | ||
| If it happens, then the House of Representatives picks the president, and then the Senate picks the vice president, so then theoretically it would be Trump-Walz or maybe Trump-Kamala? | ||
| Can you imagine her face if she had to be vice president again and this time to Trump? | ||
| That's what we need to bring this country together is both of them locked in the Oval Office. | ||
| She would work with President Trump. | ||
| Do they have to pick from the current candidates? | ||
| Can they pick someone themselves who they want for VP? | ||
| I think they can pick anybody they want. | ||
| Yo, that's wild. | ||
| It's called the Contingent Election. | ||
| Yeah, it happened in 1824. | ||
| It's happened one time before. | ||
|
unidentified
|
1824? | |
| 1824, it's happened one time. | ||
| 200 years ago. | ||
| 200 years ago, exactly. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Really? | |
| 200 years ago, exactly. | ||
| It happened in America. | ||
| 1824 election. | ||
| Yeah, it was the only time ever. | ||
| I think it was Garfield? | ||
| Worse than that, 200 years ago, exactly, it happened in America. | ||
| 1824 election. | ||
| Yeah, it was the only time ever. | ||
| I think it was Garfield? | ||
| No, not Garfield. | ||
| Is it when they got together and decided to do the pick? | ||
| They sat down at the table? | ||
| Well, yeah, the House of Representatives had to pick the president, and because it's... I guess if it was... they controlled both, then it would be the same party, but... One of two. | ||
| The 1800 election was also decided by the House. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| Well, last time it happened. | ||
| But then there was 1876, and that's where a committee got together and just decided who would be president. | ||
| Yeah, because they were scared that it was going to be Civil War II. | ||
| So it's 76, it's a decade later, and they're like, guys, if we can't figure this out, everyone's going to start shooting again. | ||
| We don't want that to happen. | ||
| So what do we do? | ||
| And they're like, OK, here's the deal. | ||
| Reconstruction is over, and then you guys get to pick who the president is. | ||
| And they're like, OK, fine. | ||
| So, we've had some wackier situations in this country. | ||
| Sure, but if that happened right now, that would be... Yeah, news took forever to get back to each other back then. | ||
| You know, it takes weeks to get news around the country. | ||
| Today, it's right in your phone instantly. | ||
| So, dramatically increased... But I mean, it would be Trump would be for sure the president. | ||
| I guess they can pick the president. | ||
| They don't have to pick Trump, but they would pick Trump. | ||
| The House would pick Trump. | ||
| The House would pick Trump for sure. | ||
| You can pick the vape. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So there was a scenario that, let's reset this map. | ||
| So what was the scenario? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think it's like, let's see, if Trump wins here... And Maine won, I think Maine won vote. | |
| No, you don't need that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think it's... Well, for the 269-269. | |
| Right, right, right, right. | ||
| It's Nebraska, I think. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Is, yeah, Georgia... Nebraska. | |
| Yeah, there you go. | ||
| So if Kamala wins Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and PA, Trump wins Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, but also secures the—it's never going to happen—the single elector from Nebraska or Maine, winning one more from—actually, I mean, maybe— I think the last election, he did get the one from Maine. | ||
| He got one from Maine. | ||
| Yeah, but there's already one red in Maine, and so there's four up there. | ||
| You can get a 269-269, and then Trump wins through the House because of the Republican delegation, and then Democrats just pick the vice president. | ||
| Yeah, but actually, I don't know. | ||
| Maybe they pick Biden. | ||
| Kamala Harris would be the tie-breaking vote in the Senate. | ||
| Is she going to vote for herself to be vice president? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Yes, 100%. | ||
| It would be amazing if she did. | ||
| No, I don't think she would. | ||
| I don't think she would want to be able to take it. | ||
| Here's another thing, too, is I think it's the majority vote, but it doesn't have to be two candidates, right? | ||
| So if the Republicans and the Democrats in the Senate are like, we're going to propose a candidate, and then three independent, like two independent Democrats, who do you have? | ||
| You have Manchin and you have Bernie? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Who else? | |
| Is there one more? | ||
| I think it's King out of Maine. | ||
| He's independent, right? | ||
| Yep. | ||
| He caucuses with Democrats. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But if they propose Bernie Sanders instead, then the Republicans just win with 50 votes. | ||
| having the majority against 47 for the Democrats. | ||
| Also, what if, I don't know if they can do this anymore, but because remember the whole thing where Trump had to, or | ||
| Pence had to certify the election? | ||
| Yes, I remember that day. | ||
| Kamala Harris is the current vice president, would have to certify if she lost, | ||
| she would be the one to have to certify for Trump to win. | ||
| You know, if she had said it, there would be a peaceful, like they always say it's only Republicans or conservatives | ||
| who resist these things. | ||
| I'm just a crazy conspiracy theorist, okay? | ||
| We're from the internet. | ||
| Here's what would be funny. It'd be funny if just on January 6th, 2025 Kamala's counting the votes and | ||
| it's like... | ||
| You know, she knows she lost so she's shaking and sweating and then she just looks around and then she's like heart's beating and then she's just drenched in sweat. | ||
| She just grabs all the envelopes and just runs. | ||
| And she's just gone. | ||
| Not certifying it. | ||
| Yeah, she won't do it. | ||
| And they're like, where'd she go? | ||
| And it's like... | ||
| Well, I guess that means she's still the vice president. | ||
| There's been no movement here. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Do you remember how long it took for Hillary Clinton to call Trump and concede the 2016 election? | ||
| Well, she bought all those fireworks. | ||
| She had all of those fireworks! | ||
| So many fireworks. | ||
| If I had that many fireworks, I would wait as long as possible. | ||
| Is that what she said? | ||
| Yeah, she had like millions and millions of dollars worth of fireworks. | ||
| And the bars in New York, yeah. | ||
| Yeah, I remember the cover of the magazine, Madam President, it was Time Magazine, I think, Madam President. | ||
| But it was, I mean, it was some crazy, it was- And they released them early, too, I think. | ||
| Like, that was the big deal, that they actually, they put them out early, because they were made in advance, like, they were so sure. | ||
| It's very much like that, you know, Truman- It's a curse. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, there was the Toronto Blue Jays played the Kansas City Royals in the playoffs in the 80s, and they made all these, like, things of Toronto Blue Jays win, and then they lost. | ||
| Oh my gosh. | ||
| But they do that for, like, every Super Bowl, you know. | ||
| Yeah, well, yeah, and then they, like, send them to, like- So I just, I just, uh, re-endorsed RFK Jr. | ||
| You're going to just really mess with his brain. | ||
| He's going to feel like you're gaslighting him. | ||
| Well, I don't know. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| I just I'm I think the the most psychotic thing right now for for Trump supporters is to just do their best to alienate moderates who are coming over from the left. | ||
| And so Catterd and Dillian, a couple of the people like right now, it's Catterd again. | ||
| He's, for those not familiar, he's a big following couple million people. | ||
| Their whole thing right now is For the Trump campaign to eschew, to do away with anybody who is not a diehard Trump cultist from day one. | ||
| If you are somebody who didn't support Trump from day one, then they say, ignore those people, don't listen to any of them. | ||
| It's like, okay, well, like... It's not a winning strategy. | ||
| It's like the guaranteed losing strategy. | ||
| Apparently, so I've gotten some messages since this whole thing broke where You know, I jokingly tweeted that I was in this Twitter thread where I'm like, stop attacking Joe Rogan, stop attacking comedians. | ||
| We need to get the moderates on board. | ||
| And then when they kept just saying, F you, screw you, F you, I was like, okay, I'm voting for RFK Jr. | ||
| How about that? | ||
| And then the media was just like, Tim Pool's voting for RFK Jr. | ||
| And now they're claiming like, Tim Pool backtracked after being bullied by Kevin. | ||
| I'm like, I was making fun of the guy! | ||
| What are you talking? | ||
| Oh, geez. | ||
| But look, man. | ||
| This is how Trump loses. | ||
| So a couple of people who do political campaigning, not in the Trump administration, have reached out and are expressing concern about how Trump's got these people on social media who are attacking moderates. | ||
| And I'm like, yeah, well, whatever, dude, like, don't call me because I don't care. | ||
| Bro, first of all, if you're going to start insulting people because they don't agree with you 100% instead of trying to win them over, you deserve to lose. | ||
| Yeah, for sure. | ||
| That's just it. | ||
| I think Trump did really great with his press conference today. | ||
| Fantastic. | ||
| You know, what he's trying to do is draw out Kamala Harris basically by attacking her over and over again. | ||
| What Trump is trying to do at the press conference he did today was to define who she is before she can put out her campaign policies because she's trying to remain amorphous. | ||
| She doesn't want campaign policies out there so that she can be anything anyone needs her to be. | ||
| So this is why Trump did a second press conference where he said, here's what she said, here's what she's done, here's what she's doing. | ||
| So that the media is going to report these things, this will be the story, and it will force her to adopt positions at least a few months out where he can then go after her. | ||
| So that's great. | ||
| However, the Trump campaign has no control over his sycophants who are going online and insulting and attacking moderates, which is a guaranteed path to defeat. | ||
| It's the meme where you've got the blue guy on the left and the red guy on the right, and the blue guy shoves the dude in the middle, and the guy on the right catches him and says, are you okay? | ||
| And then the Democrat goes, why are you siding with the bad guys? | ||
| Why are you siding with them? | ||
| This is what it's been like. | ||
| I'll put it this way. | ||
| Common Right has that meme, where Elon Musk posted it, where you've got the guy who's on the left, and then the left runs so far left that the middle puts the guy who's liberal on the right. | ||
| You guys are familiar with that? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| What Trump sycophants are doing now is the exact same thing in the inverse. | ||
| Attacking anybody who was on the left, who is now supporting Trump, in a way that's just off-putting. | ||
| And if people vote emotionally, and they do, you are guaranteed to get A small amount of people who are going to be like, I can't support these people anymore. | ||
| They're nuts. | ||
| You're going to get people like, already after the RFK Jr. | ||
| thing, I had the Krasensteins, you know, tweeting at me and other liberals being like, see Tim, see what we told you? | ||
| Aren't we better? | ||
| And I'm like, no, you're all nuts. | ||
| They're all nuts. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| But they absolutely will try to love bomb you at the moment Trump supporters start attacking you. | ||
| Why is this, why are they doing it this year? | ||
| I don't remember 2020... Yeah, they didn't. | ||
| ...at all, any of that going on. | ||
| Yeah, 2016 and 2020, like 2016 especially, was we're having a party, everyone's invited. | ||
| And the memes going around were that everyone, so you have that meme of the political compass, and everyone who's not in the fringe far left is alt-right and far right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That was the right basically saying, everybody is welcome here because we are sane and rational. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And now you've got people on X. | ||
| And don't get me wrong, it's not like it's the real world in a certain sense. | ||
| It's not like it's where most people spend their time. | ||
| But going after Joe Rogan guarantees you only one thing. | ||
| Joe Rogan, to his massive audience of, you know, some of, like, one of the biggest podcasts in the world, he's going to say things where it's like, yeah, those guys attack you. | ||
| They're crazy. | ||
| And that's going to resonate with regular people. | ||
| So at a time when it's so delicate and you need to be going to people and saying like, look, I know you may not like Donald Trump, but here's real rational reasons why he's a better choice. | ||
| You're ending up with people who are going to be like, I don't know, dude, the people who follow that guy are so nasty and psychotic. | ||
| They're worse than the woke people. | ||
| I don't want to be involved with any of it. | ||
| I mean, yeah, it is 100% a losing strategy. | ||
| Trump going after Rogan, too, was a big mistake. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, dude. | |
| With the UFC stuff, you're like, dude, they're not booing Joe Rogan at UFC. | ||
| No way. | ||
| They booed Trump before they booed Rogan at UFC. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, I kind of feel like if Trump and Rogan actually had a legitimate clash, Where Rogan was actually saying bad things about Trump and Trump about him at the same time, I think you'd get a mixed reaction at the UFC. | ||
| There's gonna be a lot of people who are gonna be like, diehard Trump supporters, who are gonna be like, I like a Joe man, but Trump's our leader, but there's gonna be a lot of people who are gonna be like, I don't care one F about Donald Trump, Joe Rogan's the MMA, he's our guy. | ||
| There are a lot of people who watch Rogan, and there's a reason why Rogan won't endorse Donald Trump. | ||
| And so, by all means... Has he ever endorsed anybody, though? | ||
| I think he kind of tries to stay, which is, you know, as a comedian, you kind of want to be, like, you want to be kind of... I feel like he said... Like, the moment people know your politics, like, some of your jokes don't work anymore. | ||
| He said he would vote twice. | ||
| He said he would vote for Trump over Biden. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then RFK Jr. | ||
| steps in, and he says he's the only one who makes sense. | ||
| And he said in the, like, retroactively, oh, I voted for this person in the past, right? | ||
| Like, it's not a preemptive endorsement. | ||
| Do you think Trump's response to that was of his own volition? | ||
| Meaning, like, did he see what was going on with Joe Rogan and think, I'm just gonna respond to this? | ||
| Or do you think an aide was like, look at this clip! | ||
| Joe Rogan's, like, saying this stuff. | ||
| You think he just said it out of ego? | ||
|
unidentified
|
on his phone and saw it and he goes, oh, I don't like this, Joe. | |
| I thought they were buddies. They go to the UFC together. | ||
| Trump comes to the UFC with Joe Rogan. | ||
| Yeah. Yeah. | ||
| One thing I don't like about like internet culture is that you have to respond to everything | ||
| all the time. I feel like there are a lot of times that like Trump says stuff when it doesn't matter. | ||
| Like you're making it, you're fanning the flames of whatever issue is here by becoming involved | ||
| with it. Like he could have just let what Joe Rogan said slide. | ||
| I guess he's always campaigning like his whole thing is he's like it's a 24 hour a day campaign so everything he does probably he's like this isn't the but I don't know what he was thinking of why this would be good. | ||
| He didn't call you and talk to you personally? | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| I didn't hear from him, no. | ||
| He just visited McDonald's and he's a fool, so he had to get it out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| I'm wondering if Trump surrogates and his campaign people are like, I'm assuming they must not be reaching out to these high profile individuals and being like, shut the up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| But by all means, let him keep burning it all down. | ||
| I mean, they would probably, like someone like Katcher, would probably take a screenshot of that and then go post it and see. | ||
| Yeah, there's a risk to telling the truth. | ||
| You know, you think he would actually sabotage Trump by posting this? | ||
| I mean, he kind of sounds like he is. | ||
| Currently. | ||
| That's true, yeah. | ||
| Like, he kind of sounds like he is. | ||
| I don't know why, because you think you're, I don't know what he wants to accomplish. | ||
| I mean, this is common in politics, to be completely honest. | ||
| Like, you look at far-left activism. | ||
| I can tell you, like, ten years ago, you've got these far-left activists who are trying to develop a strategy. | ||
| And these are evil MFers, dude. | ||
| These are people who are like, here's how we trick people into getting arrested so that we can recruit them. | ||
| But then you always had the really dumb people who were like, no, we're just going to run in screaming and throwing rocks. | ||
| And they're just like, no, that's not going to help us. | ||
| Like, we're trying to enact some Machiavellian scheme here, and you're in the way. | ||
| I can't say I'm surprised. | ||
| Donald Trump's got, you know, hard-headed sycophantic people who are going to storm full speed and, you know, Leroy Jenkins' campaign. | ||
| So they're basically Ron DeSantis voters in the primary of the Republican Party. | ||
| Now it's just a presidential term. | ||
| You know, Ron DeSantis people are super nasty online, and now these guys are being super nasty online for no reason at all instead of trying to get more voters on their side. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| campaign was a meme party. Everybody was laughing the whole time it was funny. And Trump narrowly | ||
| wins. 2020 it was it wasn't the same. Trump was an outsider. | ||
| 2020 he's the insider. The strategy for 2024 should be Trump's an outsider challenging Bidenomics | ||
| and the failures of this administration and how everyone needs to unite to stop someone who's | ||
| ripping this country to shreds. | ||
| And that that's got to be the playoff. | ||
| I mean, there's a million and one different things you can do, but ultimately it comes down to you need to open up the door and say, everyone's welcome to come to the Donald Trump party and hang out and have drinks and be friends. | ||
| But if the idea is you're not one of us and you weren't here on day one, so you don't count and you're not allowed to be here, then people are going to be like, I'm going to go party somewhere else. | ||
| Joe Rogan already, there's a video going viral that we talked about yesterday where Republicans, what is it? | ||
| Republicans against Trump, I think it is, posted a clip of Joe Rogan saying Kamala's a pro. | ||
| Look how she handled this thing at the event. | ||
| They are trying to drive up the narrative that Joe is praising Kamala as much as they can. | ||
| It's going to work. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I mean, I do think I saw him on one of his episodes saying, like, he thinks she's going to win. | ||
| You're like, that just might be his opinion on what he thinks the outcome is going to be. | ||
| Doesn't necessarily make an endorsement of any sorts. | ||
| I think Joe's just trying to stay out of it all. | ||
| Yeah, he's trying to stay out of it. | ||
| He's just like, I don't want to. | ||
| He cares about comedy and his comedy club. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Be happy and live life. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| That's all he wants. | ||
| Which I think a lot of Americans want. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Yeah, they just want their eggs to not be so expensive. | ||
| They want to be able to pay their bills without going into debt. | ||
| Yeah, which is honestly the Kamala Harris price control thing for the people who are like not involved in politics and they don't really like pay attention to the stuff or know much about the stuff. | ||
| They'll probably just say like, I'm just gonna make my eggs cheaper. | ||
| Cool. | ||
| Sounds good. | ||
| It's you have to explain the consequences. | ||
| Yeah, like people don't know you're like, there's second and third order consequences to this stuff. | ||
| And, you know, I was looking at that today. | ||
| 2021 was like, 140 then 22 was 150 20. | ||
| I'm sorry, 19. | ||
| then 22 was 150, I'm sorry, 19, and then 2020 was 147. | ||
| 2021 was a little bit more, but once we hit 2022, once Biden took over and his policies came over, it was 286. | ||
| I mean, I'll tell you one thing. | ||
| It went up in hires. | ||
| Any New Yorker knows exactly what I'm talking about. | ||
| When I moved to New York in 2019, there was dollar-sliced pizza everywhere | ||
| that does not exist anymore. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Dollar-fifty now. | ||
| That's a 50% increase! | ||
| That is 50% more money. | ||
| Like Brother's Pizza? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That's the famous one. | ||
| Yeah, Two Brother's Pizza. | ||
| There's one right by our studio. | ||
| Voicecast Studio. | ||
| It's all like that was like when I got there, I was like, oh my god, dollar pizza? | ||
| Dollar 50 pizza now. | ||
| And it seems like it's only 50 cents. | ||
| No, that is 50% higher. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It was. | |
| I mean, to be honest, when I was- I didn't think it was a dollar for 20 years, but- Right. | ||
| In New York 10 years ago, dollar pizza was always crazy to me. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like that's so cheap. | ||
| You could walk outside and be like, Hey, let me get a buck. | ||
| And the guy be like, yeah, sure. | ||
| Like that's how cheap it was. | ||
| And you got a slice of pizza. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
$1.50. | |
| I mean, now I'm not complaining. | ||
| This is crazy. | ||
| I'm just saying that literally the last five years got rid of dollar. | ||
| Right now there is a young mother with three kids. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Four dollars to her name. | |
| She can't get even three slices. | ||
| She buys two slices, and then she goes to her kids, and then she hands them to her kids, and then she just coughs and goes hungry. | ||
| Yeah, she doesn't get the soda. | ||
| Do you remember with the Costco, have you guys seen this? | ||
| The Costco CEO was like, no matter what, we are not raising the prices of the hot dogs. | ||
| But they lose a lot of money, and the rotisserie chicken. | ||
| But they make money on other things, and what they're saying is like, Basically, people will come here and eat this. | ||
| This is what they can afford. | ||
| And also, it will hurt us. | ||
| People want to be able to buy food. | ||
| This is a better thing. | ||
| Yeah, that's just like a loss leader. | ||
| They go, hey, we're willing to lose $10 million a year on hot dogs. | ||
| Dude, I don't know that this warrants a segment, but I have to. | ||
| You love this. | ||
| I love this so much. | ||
| So in response to Kamala Harris enacting price controls, This guy, Steve Cortez, said this is Marxist. | ||
| He deleted his tweet, I guess. | ||
| But Ed Krasenstein tweeted this. | ||
| He said, Maga now thinks that cracking down on price gouging is considered Marxist. | ||
| Doesn't Trump keep trying to take credit for setting a limit on the price of insulin? | ||
| Didn't Trump give subsidies to farmers after his trade war greatly harmed them? | ||
| I guessed Marxism is only Marxism when the left uses government power to control prices or give money to certain people, right? | ||
| I just, when I read that, I started busting out laughing because he literally just defines communism and is like, I guess communism is when you're communist! | ||
| And it's just, I just, so I had to tweet and I was laughing. | ||
| Yes, literally effing yes. | ||
| When the left uses government to control prices and give certain people money, that is literally what we are talking about with Marxist theory, communist theory, and socialist economics. | ||
| And so then he goes on this thing about Trump doing it too, and I'm like, dude, I just— I mean, tariffs on goods is not the same thing as— Sure. | ||
| That's like an international trade— A lot of people pointed that out. | ||
| And giving subsidies to farmers literally is socialist economics. | ||
| We are a mixed economy. | ||
| I am not a fan of how the government keeps intervening in the market. | ||
| Trump does not get any special treatment. | ||
| Marxism is Marxism. | ||
| Communism—he's like, so is that Marxism too? | ||
| Yes! | ||
| Who do you even propose is doing the price gouging? | ||
| Like, if you live anywhere that has, you know, this is from a free market standpoint, but if you have somewhere that has two grocery stores, if one of them is jacking up the price of one thing, then the other one is like, we're just gonna lower our price by 50 cents on eggs, and then everybody's gonna come buy their eggs from us. | ||
| And then the other person's going to be like, we lost all our business, so now we're going to lower it. | ||
| So it's like, I don't think they are actually price gouging. | ||
| I'm pro price gouging. | ||
| But I don't think anybody is really. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I am. | |
| Pro what? | ||
| You're price gouging. | ||
| I'm pro price gouging. | ||
| I'm not saying pro. | ||
| I'm saying people are actually like, are stores actually price gouging? | ||
| Oh, no, they're not. | ||
| But I'm for it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| I mean, I think anyone selling a good or labor can choose their own prices. | ||
| Thank you and have a nice day. | ||
| I mean, Balenciaga sells a roll of tape for $3,000 that you put on your wrist. | ||
| That is price gouging. | ||
| But if someone wants to pay it, then go for it. | ||
| So price fixing? | ||
| No, that should be illegal. | ||
| When big corporations get together and say, hey, don't lower your prices to a certain level so that we can all rip a profit off these people, okay, that's collusion and conspiracy to manipulate the markets. | ||
| Yeah, you're acting like a cartel at that point. | ||
| But I was mentioning this on the morning show. | ||
| If like a hurricane hit and it wiped out all the infrastructure and people were like, we have no water. | ||
| Oh no, we're going to die. | ||
| And then some guys like, oh man, I bet if I go and buy a bunch of water and drive it down there, I can sell this for a great amount and make some money because people have no choice. | ||
| So they want to ban that because it's price gouging, right? | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| You have to drive 60 miles with all the water you bought and all the work you did and you can still only sell the bottle for a dollar. | ||
| They're going to be like, why? | ||
| I only make 30 bucks. | ||
| What's the point? | ||
| Yeah, you won't incentivize them to do that. | ||
| Then the people down there die of dehydration. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Or you can tell people, sell the water for whatever you want because the people down there will pay whatever and that's fair market. | ||
| So then you show up and you're like, I got water, it's five bucks. | ||
| Also, but after the first guy drives down there and makes a killing off of selling this water, then other people find out, they're like, wait. | ||
| And then the prices go down. | ||
| And then the prices go, just becomes a normal market. | ||
| And then yep, prices just drop until it's just normal prices. | ||
| And you live in New York City, like I find the Mets games and Yankees games, you're walking to the stadium. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Everyone's selling water in the street. | ||
| I mean, subways everywhere. | ||
| I mean, a lot of like the migrants now, that's kind of how they're like getting by as they sell cookies and water and stuff out of coolers. | ||
| And you're like, They sell it for whatever, like they sell it for the same price as you'd get it in a store or less. | ||
| People just walk by and you're like, I want a bottle of water and you just buy it from someone and it's in your hand instead of, they save you the convenience of literally walking into a store. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Right. | ||
| But again, they're not, nobody's, like price gouging generally gets worked out by any sort of market force. | ||
| See the thing about this tweet with, you know, and I'll give the credit to the Krasensteins for this much. | ||
| They get mentioned as much as they do because they actually interact. | ||
| A lot of these liberals literally don't. | ||
| They live in their own bubble world. | ||
| So I can respect that. | ||
| But this is quite literally the meme of If you criticize them, then you must think Trump is infallible and Trump is perfect, right? | ||
| So for Michael Maus, he posts this quote where it's like, I can't remember, it might have been Dave Smith who said this, that when you criticize a Democrat, Their supporters, they have no idea how to respond to you, so they just assume you're pro-Trump. | ||
| Dave Smith is a really good example of this when he was on Kennedy, and then he says, like, you know, Joe Biden did this, that, and this, and Obama did this, and then the other guy goes, yeah, well, Donald Trump does this, and Dave goes, you're right! | ||
| He did! | ||
| I don't like Donald Trump! | ||
| But they just don't know how to respond other than, we hate Trump. | ||
| Well, for Democrats, it's all they have. | ||
| The Mises caucus guys are overwhelmingly saying they're gonna vote for Donald Trump, and they don't like him, but they really don't like Joe Biden, and it's a rockin' hard place. | ||
| Biden supporters, or I should say Kamala Harris supporters now, don't understand that a lot of Trump's voters are critical of him, some don't like him, but they recognize functional policy and a functional government over whatever it is the Democrats are. | ||
| But that's why they keep saying this is a vibes election, right? | ||
| I mean, we're hearing it over and over again, like the same kind of adage of, well, he's a candidate I'd want to have a beer with, right? | ||
| I'm sure there are tons of people who are going to cast a ballot for Donald Trump who would never want to have a beer with him, who don't like him, or they would have a drink just to criticize him. | ||
| They just plug their nose and they go, this is the best of the two options for my life. | ||
| And the stuff that you're proposing is actively against stuff that I believe in. | ||
| I mean, you were talking about this before, if Kamala Harris rolls out this incentive for first-time homebuyers, like if you've been renting for two years and we'll give you- Which is smart, to be honest. | ||
| It sounds smart, but it is government intervention in the market, which is like- I don't know how you can have it both ways if you're going to be critical of economics but not also realize that this is something we've been creeping into for a long time. | ||
| Yeah, I don't think the average voter even thinks about that. | ||
| I mean, most voters are single-issue voters. | ||
| Like, the abortion thing for the Republicans is, like, could very well cost them the election because— Not if they focus on the economy. | ||
| I think— Well, the problem is that— The pressures of the economy could outweigh concerns about— But there's so many like young women like I know personally and it's not even true but they've taken like the Democrats have taken over the narrative where they're like they're gonna take away your abortions in this whole country like people in New York City they're like they're gonna take away my abortions or access to them like they're never going anywhere in New York City I can't speak for other states or whatever but because it's a state-by-state basis but they're not | ||
| Which is what Trump wants. | ||
| He wants it to be state by state. | ||
| Well, that's what it is. | ||
| And Kamala Harris is like, I think it was Iowa just passed a six-week abortion ban. | ||
| It was allowed to go into effect. | ||
| And she was like, a Trump abortion ban? | ||
| The whole thing was done under Biden. | ||
| The law was passed, the court case was tried, and she's still labeling them all as Trump abortion bans. | ||
| It's effective, is what I'm saying, because the Democrats are just saying, vote for them, no abortions. | ||
| And people go, okay. | ||
| And they're not actively countering it, the Republicans, to say, this isn't what's happening at all. | ||
| And there's a lot of people who are like, well, they're not saying that they're not doing it. | ||
| I mean, Trump has said he's not doing it, but they're not getting the message across. | ||
| I honestly don't think liberal women even actually care about abortions. | ||
| They do. | ||
| They do. | ||
| My wife's cousin, literally, the reason she's voting for Kamala Harris I know she's saying that, but what I mean to say is that she's just repeating what she heard on the internet. | ||
| Why does she care so much? | ||
| How many abortions has she gotten? | ||
| None! | ||
| As far as I know, and she has kids, she has no abortions in her future, but it's more just the idea that they're going to police her body and her daughters. | ||
| It is that someone on the internet told her that's what's popular, and so that's it. | ||
| That's the majority of it. | ||
| But it doesn't matter. | ||
| That's what she thinks, and that's why she's voting. | ||
| And they're not able to counter that. | ||
| And the language that they've developed, like, you're taking away rights, you're policing women's bodies, you're telling them what they can't do. | ||
| That emotional language is effective with certain strains of women in America. | ||
| I know what the answer is, but Trump doesn't have the balls to do it. | ||
| It's to come out and advocate that liberals get abortions. | ||
| I'm not kidding. | ||
| He should come out and say, look, ladies, you should get the abortions. | ||
| Honestly, I think we'd be better off if you all did. | ||
| So I'm going to make sure you can. | ||
| If you want to abort your kids, I encourage it. | ||
| Get rid of them. | ||
| We don't need any more. | ||
| Maybe a punch card? | ||
| He doesn't want to do that because he doesn't want to upset the evangelical vote. | ||
| That'd be a landslide. | ||
| Encouraging anyone to get an abortion. | ||
| He said it sarcastically. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Nah, it wouldn't matter because the media would report it as literal. | ||
| Yeah, they would report it as literal and then you're like, you lose another side of the argument. | ||
| That's what I would do. | ||
| I mean, that's just me. | ||
| I'm not running for office and I never am going to. | ||
| Again, lots of people, most people are not super online, right? | ||
| They see a headline and they go, that's what's happening. | ||
| How would your, what did you say, your sister? | ||
| My wife's cousin. | ||
| Wife's cousin. | ||
| How would she respond if I was like, if you went to her and you said, have you considered if abortion is right for you? | ||
| Would she be offended by that? | ||
| Uh, no. | ||
| What if you said, I think you really should consider getting an abortion next time? | ||
| Uh, that probably... Well, why? | ||
| She just is like, oh, it's just should be my... And she's even talking about, like, she has two daughters and she's like... What's wrong with getting abortions? | ||
| And then you could be like, you're not pro-life, are you? | ||
| What do you mean? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Maybe you should consider whether or not... And she's like, I want the choice. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| She's like, maybe I would need it. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| Maybe you should. | ||
| I think we'd all be better off. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| She has no choice in New York. | ||
| That's my point. | ||
| People do have the choice in certain states. | ||
| Definitely in New York, that's never going anywhere. | ||
| But the Democrats are saying they're taking away your abortions. | ||
| People are believing it. | ||
| People are saying, oh, they're going to take our abortions away. | ||
| It's interesting because the evangelical, like, the very pro-life movement in America gets mad at Trump because they're like, no, you should want to act on the federal level. | ||
| And Trump effectively doesn't want to. | ||
| He says it should be regulated by the states, which allows states like New York to do one thing where states like Iowa would do something else. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And this is what they're believing that it's going to be a federal thing like there. | ||
| If you ask her or like any, you know, New York liberals will be like, yeah, it will be federal. | ||
| Like that under Kamala Harris, it would be federal in a way that they would like it. | ||
| They're thinking Trump comes in and they go first thing he does day one federal ban on abortions in all of America. | ||
| Like if you ask them, that's what they think. | ||
| And it's I mean, you're right. | ||
| It is one of the the areas that the Like, Trump's response is sort of nuanced, right? | ||
| He's saying, like, I have my personal feelings, which should be regulated by the states. | ||
| That doesn't mark it as well as, like, they are coming for you. | ||
| They're going to ruin your life. | ||
| His is not fear-based, and theirs is fear-based. | ||
| And I'm just saying, they're winning that argument. | ||
| Like, that messaging, they're winning 100%. | ||
| Yeah, and it's interesting because I think, like, the words that I think of with, because abortion is so much of a, like, feminist thing that, like, you know, if you can't have abortions then your life is over. | ||
| Hey, I know a lot of guys who like abortions too. | ||
| Their lives are over as well. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's the thing. | |
| Like, I think this is so crazy. | ||
| Like, it is something that I think a lot of men who don't want to take the responsibility for, you know, the consequences of having sex, they would be like, well, really we should keep these in place. | ||
| The the words that I think of that kind of go with the same language of like they're stealing your rights are like empowerment that like having the choice is empowering which Trump is literally empowering the states to deal with this issue like you could start to kind of take the language that they're using and apply it to your argument but I think it because it's so controversial and even on the right it's not a unified there's not like one position on abortion they just don't want to talk about it yeah like I can't say like it is it is I mean, I'm sure there's some messaging that they could figure out. | ||
| They just have not. | ||
| Yeah, they've never really been able to nail down exactly- And they're on the defensive with the weird stuff. | ||
| I feel like they're moving a little bit away from the weird stuff. | ||
| Yeah, but when the weird stuff started popping off and then they were like, oh, we're not weird. | ||
| You're weird. | ||
| The moment you're doing that, you're losing. | ||
| As soon as they announced Kamala, I felt like the Trump campaign was on the defensive, and it makes sense they weren't really sure what to do. | ||
| On the other hand, I do think if they focus more on the policies, that they are pressuring the Harris campaign to sort of get another response. | ||
| Yeah, and I think they're, didn't they, I think they're gonna, he's firing his campaign. | ||
| They just brought on Corlyn Davidson. | ||
| And Tim Murtaugh, who was here a couple months ago, he's on too. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, wow. | |
| That was smart move, smart move. | ||
| 2016 was so much better than 2020. | ||
| I wish I was there for that. | ||
| That would've been so fun. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Where were you? | |
| 2016? | ||
| I wasn't paying attention. | ||
| I was in Normandy, loving life. | ||
| I think that's true though. | ||
| It's like 2016 woke up a ton of people, but actually it was like, or like maybe you were awake by 2018. | ||
| No. | ||
| Really? | ||
|
unidentified
|
2020? | |
| Yep. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Once COVID, I sat at home for a year and a half. | |
| I started watching the news, got nothing going on. | ||
| I'm like, okay, well this is kind of effed up. | ||
| What are they doing over there? | ||
| They're bad people. | ||
| This is not right. | ||
| What are you? | ||
| What? | ||
| When did you get interested in politics, or was it always sort of something? | ||
| I've kind of always been interested in it, yeah. | ||
| Yeah? | ||
| For a long time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
My dad always just watched the news, so I was kind of... I think it makes a difference. | |
| Probably, like, definitely under Trump, where I was like... | ||
| I legitimately, probably 10 years ago, if I was like, what's on the news? | ||
| I would just turn on CNN, just uncritically watch, and I'd go, yeah, that is what's going on, huh? | ||
| A lot of people do that. | ||
| Well, for sure. | ||
| And then, less so now, but then probably in 2018, I was like, wait. | ||
| People lie a lot. | ||
| But it was kind of fine 10 years ago. | ||
| Yeah, they weren't lying as much, probably. | ||
| For real, though. | ||
| I think they were. | ||
| I mean, look at that bit where Colbert is talking to Cailin Compton. | ||
| Oh, hilarious. | ||
| He's like, you guys do objective news and the audience busts out laughing. | ||
| I think there's always been issues that the media doesn't want to talk about and whether | ||
| it was because they just don't think it looks good or whatever else, like there's always | ||
| been a bias. | ||
| It's just, it got more. | ||
| I mean, it used to be really bad. | ||
| Like, it used to be there was five networks. | ||
| There was no, you know, a handful of newspapers, all conglomerates, whatever, five networks. | ||
| And if those, you know, few people who own these things decide, hey, we're not going to run this story, you just don't hear about it. | ||
| Like, that's it. | ||
| Like, they have the power to kill you, or they have the power to, like, you know, Yeah. | ||
| And there's no alternative, right? | ||
| It's not like you can go on YouTube and be like, I'm interested in this topic. | ||
| Back then there wasn't. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, now. | ||
| Or Twitter, because half the story is going to be there, one side of the story. | ||
| Let's jump to this story. | ||
| We'll just get back into the news. | ||
| We got this from Newsweek. | ||
| Secret Service investigating report agent left Trump event to breastfeed. | ||
| Well, I mean, you know, that's kind of important. | ||
| You've got a kid, right? | ||
| Secret Service investigating report says an agent left her post at a Trump event to breastfeed. | ||
| In a statement shared to Newsweek, Anthony Guglielmi said all employees of the U.S. | ||
| Secret Service are held to the highest standards. | ||
| While there was no impact to the North Carolina event, the specifics of this incident are being examined. | ||
| The remarks come after a RealClearPolitics correspondent, Susan Crabtree, said that a female Secret Service agent abandoned her post at Wednesday's campaign rally for Trump to breastfeed with no permission or warning to the event site agent. | ||
| The site agent went to do one final sweep of the walking route and found the agent breastfeeding her child in a room that is supposed to be set aside for important Secret Service official work. | ||
| Why is a woman who is nursing protecting Donald Trump right now? | ||
| This is maybe my liberal brain here, but I'm like, why is she even working? | ||
| Like, does she not have a maternity leave? | ||
| Look, breastfeed for like a year, though. | ||
| You don't have a small heart. | ||
| Look, I'm family first. | ||
| How long do you breastfeed? | ||
| Some women do it for like a year. | ||
| I did it until I was 12. | ||
| Some people do it for a long time and develop weird issues. | ||
| I was a late bloomer. | ||
| But, you know, the thing is, I feel like it's strange that she has her kid close enough at hand to breastfeed them while also protecting the president. | ||
| I think they were saying she had like her husband or family but even still I'm like I don't know like did she have to go back to work? | ||
| If you have a job to do. | ||
| Do they not give you like you're saying it's to one normally? | ||
| Yeah I mean they're not saying how small this kid is right like yeah but I'm just saying 12 weeks maternity leave so your baby's like three months old yeah right like Yeah, if you only have 12 weeks of maternity leave. | ||
| I don't know what maternity leave is. | ||
| I don't know what the secret to it is. | ||
| I know, like, I have a friend who works at Lululemon and they're like, come back in four years or something. | ||
| Some companies have, like, crazy maternity leave. | ||
| Yeah, some companies are really generous with, like, maternity and paternity leave. | ||
| But, you know, if you work for the government, I don't know. | ||
| I knew someone who worked for the YMCA and they didn't offer her maternity leave. | ||
| YMCA, which she was like, I thought it was a pro-family organization. | ||
| And she had to save up all her sick days and stuff. | ||
| I mean, it really varies. | ||
| Uh, here's the thing. | ||
| It doesn't matter how many times she has office. | ||
| She left her post from protecting the president and her service member. | ||
| That's the huge thing. | ||
| She could have zero days off from maternity leave. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| She should have been there protecting and standing her post. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Again, that's why I think it's weird that her baby is there. | ||
| Yeah, in the area too? | ||
| If you're a Secret Service agent, your job is to, like, potentially put yourself in front of a bullet. | ||
| Like, why are you like, hang on a minute, I'll just hold my baby and take, like, it seems a little weird. | ||
| She doesn't have, like, a pump where she can just kind of store up the milk or whatever? | ||
| But I guess she would have had to ask to, like, go pump and then she would- Well, no, you pump in advance and then you kind of, like, put them in the freezer and then- Don't ask me why I know so much about this, but, uh, you know, you kind of store it up. | ||
| I think you can, but like, if she was like, oh, it is time for me to pump, and I'm at this post, and nothing's going on. | ||
| Well, she should have done it on the weekend. | ||
| I don't think that's how it works. | ||
| No? | ||
| I thought you can kind of, aren't you lactating constantly? | ||
| Yeah, but like, you have to like, I hate being the only girl in the room. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey, hey! | |
| School me here! | ||
| I think women are like, my baby eats on a schedule, right? | ||
| If your baby's not there to eat, then you have to pump. | ||
| So if she's saying like, this is my moment where I have to pump, I don't understand why she doesn't have a prearranged, you know, if this is something she has to deal with, I think that's fine. | ||
| I think it's good to breastfeed your kids if you can. | ||
| Maybe she shouldn't be a field worker right now. | ||
| Maybe she should be at a desk where she's able to have accommodations for whatever she needs to do. | ||
| I'm family first. | ||
| I think, you know, it's great that she has a kid and, you know, wants to take care of it. | ||
| But like, this is maybe not the field position you should be in. | ||
| This sounds weird. | ||
| Did this happen to Butler County? | ||
| No, this is North Carolina. | ||
| Asheville. | ||
| But still Trump, right? | ||
| You don't know, you know? | ||
| I have questions about maybe this is somehow related to someone almost taking Trump's life. | ||
| That's what I said, Butler County situation. | ||
| I mean we did find out at the Butler thing that there's a B and C team. | ||
| What if the story was like there was supposed to be a guy on top of the roof but he also went to breastfeeding. | ||
| You never know these things. | ||
| Trans man or whatever. | ||
| The beard. | ||
| I don't- I think it's weird that you'd have a breastfeeding mother as an on-the-ground, field, posted-up agent. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Why is she, like, maybe not forever if she wants to be a field lady. | ||
| I wouldn't assign her there, but, you know, like, why aren't you taking this one year to, like, go work in the headquarters? | ||
| Maybe just, like, take your kid to work day? | ||
| Isn't that weird that you would be like, hey, I'm in a place where it could be potentially dangerous. | ||
| Anyways, pass me the baby. | ||
| It was recently quite dangerous. | ||
| It was, like, in the last month, it was incredibly dangerous job. | ||
| It's just confusing to me. | ||
| I just don't understand. | ||
| This is what having equal opportunity in the workplace has done to us, though? | ||
| 30% by 2030. | ||
| That's what they want to do. | ||
| 30% by 2030. | ||
| 30% of what? | ||
| Of Secret Service agents have to be female. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why? | |
| Talk to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. | ||
| Why? | ||
| What does that do for us? | ||
| Let's you be Secret Service. | ||
| You know, I think I... | ||
| Die protecting the president. | ||
| I think the problem with the... | ||
| That's honorable that you put your life on the line, but like, it doesn't always make | ||
| sense. | ||
| I think the problem with the system is that when you get a large enough body of people | ||
| who are ideologically driven, because the natural selection mechanisms have been curtailed | ||
| by human ingenuity and compassion, you end up with a voting bloc or an influence bloc | ||
| that's going to make these things happen. | ||
| I kind of feel like it's inevitable. | ||
| Humans want to protect other humans. | ||
| That's just it. | ||
| We want to prevent other people from dying. | ||
| We don't like it when people die. | ||
| That's sad. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Nature, the universe, selects for those who are more capable and more adaptable. | ||
| As we intervene through intelligence, you end up with a lot more people who can't comprehend the failures of a certain system. | ||
| Hence Kamala Harris saying, we want price controls. | ||
| Then a lot of people going like, hey, that makes sense. | ||
| Just tell them they can't charge me the money for it as if that solves the problem. | ||
| You get a lot of people who normally would not survive and I'm not trying to disparage anybody but I'm saying like we want them to be around but then you reach critical mass. | ||
| 51% of the population is not adaptable and can't understand complex systems and then that influence overrides the influence of everyone else and you end up with... | ||
| Female Secret Service agents breastfeeding and not doing their job. | ||
| Presidents get shot at. | ||
| Managerial crisis as systems start crumbling and falling down. | ||
| This leads to an inability of the leaders of a civilization to actually save people. | ||
| It'll trigger a triage-like economic system where The people who are capable will just bunker down and | ||
| protect themselves, and then those who are incapable of seeing and | ||
| understanding complex systems will start to, let's just say, hinder themselves and their capabilities of | ||
| reproduction for a variety of reasons. The end result is an ebb and flow of human | ||
| growth and human collapse and human growth and human collapse. | ||
| I think it's an upward trajectory, but at a certain point the whole thing could just crumble and collapse like a wave getting bigger and bigger until the crash is huge and humans drop back down due to civilizational level destruction or something. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's dark. | |
| It's literally just strong men make good times, good times make weak men, but there's more to it than that. | ||
| Weak men breastfeed. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| There's more to it than just saying that strong men make good times. | ||
| And it's not so much that because life is good, it makes weak men. | ||
| It's that because life is good, everyone survives. | ||
| And then as long as everyone survives, There is a failure rate to at a certain point you get 51% of the population that is destructive to its own ends, votes for its own destruction, and then everyone suffers, and then from the ashes of the phoenix, the strong start to reemerge, and it's an ebb and flow. | ||
| Because I'm thinking about like, I don't know how you navigate out of something like this. | ||
| Over a long enough period of time, You end up with systems like this. | ||
| I mean if you demand 30% of women have to be Secret Service agents, then some of them | ||
| are going to, probably a good chunk of them are going to get pregnant and they're going | ||
| to have to breastfeed. | ||
| And if they don't have enough maternity leave, then they're like, I guess I'm going to have | ||
| to figure this out. | ||
| Or if you won't reassign them to this place. | ||
| Or if you don't have policy in place. | ||
| If the world was on fire, literally, then only the people capable of withstanding the | ||
| fire are going to be dealing with fire and they will seek to protect everybody else. | ||
| We're now at a point where the fire has been so curtailed that they're like, let's have | ||
| breastfeeding women protect the president. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| There's a threshold. | ||
| Sooner or later, someone will try to take the president's life, the frontrunner for the presidency. | ||
| And you have women who are not capable of doing the job. | ||
| I mean, this would have been a sketch on Saturday Night Live 20 years ago, like a breastfeeding service agent. | ||
| I think it was vocal distance on X who said this. | ||
| A man built a fence around his home to protect his wife from wolves. | ||
| Eventually, the woman came to believe that the man built the fence to keep her in and entrap her, so she tore the fences down and was promptly eaten by wolves. | ||
| That's one way of putting it. | ||
| If you didn't have the fence, then the woman's hiding from wolves and the man's saying, stay back, I'll protect you. | ||
| The guy then says, a fence will keep us safe. | ||
| Without the danger, then people grow accustomed to everything seemingly being fine. | ||
| And they go, well, who cares if the Secret Service agent is a nursing woman who just had a child? | ||
| What's the problem? | ||
| What crises do we really face? | ||
| I mean, probably some people did think it was a problem. | ||
| They're like, I'm not going to be the guy to say something that this woman can't be breastfeeding. | ||
| I don't want to take that. | ||
| Look at the guy on the subway. | ||
| It was the train in Philadelphia who raped a woman in front of everybody and they just filmed. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's at a certain point, people are like, I'm not getting involved. | ||
| You know, it's like Daniel. | ||
| I walked by him on the street last week in New York City. | ||
| Daniel Penny? | ||
| Yeah, I walked by him in the street in New York City. | ||
| Yeah, he was walking by me. | ||
| And I'm like, I know this guy from somewhere. | ||
| And I couldn't figure it out. | ||
| Did you say something? | ||
| No. | ||
| And then the crazy thing is I was listening to Malice on Rogan. | ||
| And then I walked by him and 60 seconds later, they started talking about him. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No way. | |
| After I just walked by him. | ||
| You chased him down the street. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| I'm not chasing down Daniel Penny. | ||
| Daniel Penny, are you listening? | ||
| He's huge. | ||
| He's like 6'6". | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow, really? | |
| Massive guy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Huge guy. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| But I was like, I mean, he feels comfortable enough to just walk around New York City. | ||
| Trump should hire him. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, he has his trial in October. | ||
| I think he'll go to prison. | ||
| Daniel Penny? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| Probably. | ||
| Maybe that's the October surprise. | ||
| I mean, people get upset about that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I think we'll go to prison because you look at the way New York operates. | ||
| Politically, the activists are going to say, we don't care about the circumstances of the guy's death. | ||
| It's political. | ||
| It's a white guy who killed a black guy. | ||
| End of story. | ||
| Nothing else matters. | ||
| And then there's no right in New York City. | ||
| There's no competent conservative group that's going to defend Penny effectively. | ||
| And so the courts are going to be like, the judge is going to say, dude, I don't want Antifa throwing bricks through my window. | ||
| The jurors are going to be like, I don't care about who this guy is. | ||
| He shouldn't have come to New York. | ||
| It's his own fault. | ||
| Let him deal with the consequences. | ||
| He lives in New York. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah, he's like, he's not even come there for a weekend. | ||
| He like, he's just taking the train going to school or something. | ||
| But yeah. | ||
| Yeah, but he's not from there. | ||
| Yeah, I don't know. | ||
| I mean, like, he shouldn't come here. | ||
| It's his own fault. | ||
| What's that? | ||
| Is he from Long Island? | ||
| I think he is. | ||
| Yeah, he's from the area. | ||
| But anyways, yeah, I don't it's not looking good for him. | ||
| I would say that hopefully, maybe there's a jury that kind of that adds to the degradation of everything else? Well yeah | ||
| but maybe maybe there's he gets a good lawyer. I think he probably had a huge crowdfunding thing. | ||
| I think he raised like several million. | ||
| Yeah so at least he'll have a good defense at the very least because I think most most people | ||
| especially in New York as it kind of degrades and gets you know a little dicier. Do you think it | ||
| could be like Rittenhouse where people who listen to trial were like oh we get why this happened? | ||
| But people who will listen to the media were like, he killed three black people and he's a terrible person. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, I don't think there'll be Yeah, there's a chance of that happening. | ||
| Like, but Because I felt like the media tried to paint Jordan Peeley as, like, this saint. | ||
| And he, you know, it's sad that he lost his life. | ||
| On the other hand, like, he wasn't just, like, a totally random person. | ||
| No. | ||
| And there was a week after that, like, literally one week after that, there was another scenario where there was, but it was two black guys. | ||
| And the one guy was, like, doing something similar. | ||
| And then the other guy stabbed and killed him. | ||
| And then they were like, we're not charging him. | ||
| And this was, like, a week after Daniel Penn. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Really? | |
| I didn't realize that. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| Yeah, so- Well, initially, police interviewed Penny, and he said what | ||
| happened, and they're like, okay, you're free to go, and then it was after, when there | ||
| was a huge pressure campaign, they were like, actually, come back, you have to turn | ||
| yourself in. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Which is kind of wild, right? I can't imagine being a New York City police officer for so | ||
| many reasons. It's- It's such a political organization. | ||
| And I know, at least for me, you think of Law & Order SVU or old cop movies that are set in New York, you think of them as being these blue-collar-esque guys, but really all of it is ideological. | ||
| I don't know if they're having problems recruiting or whatever, but you see them now. | ||
| Their recruitment's down a lot. | ||
| Yeah, but like I saw two in the East Village the other day and they were like, they must have been 20 years old. | ||
| Like two guys were like 20. | ||
| Like they don't even have like properly fitting uniforms. | ||
| Like it looks like they just because they're still growing. | ||
| They're still like, yeah, and they're like, they don't have it just yeah, and they're like, and I mean, it is a really tough job being a New York City police department or officer. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Well, Chicago's in for it. | ||
| Let's jump to this story. | ||
| This is from WGN9. | ||
| Ah, I remember WGN back when I lived, oh, in hometown Chicago. | ||
| Muslim leaders expect 100,000 pro-Palestinian demonstrators for the DNC. | ||
| Yeah, this is why we're not going anywhere near there, because I don't think it'll be 100,000. | ||
| Usually when people subscribe it's about 10%, but 10,000 pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel demonstrators rioting in Chicago is not going to be a fun time. | ||
| And the interesting thing is they're splitting up the DNC between the United Center and McCormick Place, which are not anywhere near each other. | ||
| So it's going to be very, very difficult to get back and forth between the meeting places. | ||
| It's actually really weird they're doing this. | ||
| Did they just split up and half of them go one place, half of them go the other? | ||
| McCormick Place is substantially, substantially larger. | ||
| So the main event for the DNC is going to be at the United Center, and then all of the official meetings and everything else will be at McCormick Place. | ||
| What happens at McCormick Place normally? | ||
| It's like a convention center. | ||
| I think it's like 400,000 square feet. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| It's two buildings with a bridge. | ||
| It's absolutely massive, like 40-foot ceilings or some ridiculous height. | ||
| Awesome fun. | ||
| I mean they could it's not that far from kind of Michigan Like they could get that 100k number. | ||
| I mean, Michigan's not just I mean and Minneapolis is only a couple hours Yeah, it's not that far like a couple hours that was crazy that they actually hit those numbers but the issue is for people who need to travel between McCormick place and the United Center good luck With the protests and the barricades and everything they're doing, this is going to be insane. | ||
| I think George Soros set up a shuttle system. | ||
| So just to get them back and forth. | ||
| Yeah, but that's not for like the regular people who live in the area. | ||
| No, no, no, no, no. | ||
| For the protesters. | ||
| Oh, good. | ||
| Yeah, he's nice. | ||
| He's got some pallets of bricks that he's laid out. | ||
| Very Soros of him. | ||
| It's quite Soros. | ||
| Uncle George, you know, up to his antics. | ||
| I think the protests are going to be interesting because you've seen a couple clips where Kamala has had to respond to protesters who are in her speeches and she had that like, I'm talking or whatever. | ||
| Keep doing this if you want Trump to win. | ||
| Real quick, just take a look at this. | ||
| I'm looking. | ||
| There we go. | ||
| Yeah, United Center and McCormick Place are very far away from each other in Chicago. | ||
| Look at all these blocks. | ||
| There's gonna be protests all over this building, all over here. | ||
| Everything's gonna be locked down. | ||
| I don't know how people working these events are going to navigate this. | ||
| I don't know how journalists are going to navigate this. | ||
| And it's right by going right through the University of Chicago. | ||
| The college is gonna be right out there, right there, too. | ||
| Are they saying what events are in which place? | ||
| Yeah, University of Illinois, actually. | ||
| University of Chicago is in the South. | ||
| Well, you know what? | ||
| I think the students are probably, by that time, a lot of them will be back in school, so you're like, there's... That's actually now a hub for all of them. | ||
| Well, that's a lot of people who will join, you know. | ||
| It's gonna be the first week back, and what's a fun thing to do? | ||
| Protest! | ||
| I can't believe this. | ||
| I really gotta check. | ||
| It's at the United Center, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| National Convention. | ||
| Have they said, like, what the division of the campuses are? | ||
| Like, oh, media's over here and speeches are over here or whatever? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Yeah, United Center and McCormick Place. | ||
| That's insane to me. | ||
| This is absolutely insane to me why they are doing this. | ||
| Do they have any events concurrent or are they just different? | ||
| Like, so the RNC, they had the FISERV forum, big stadium, that's where they did the main event. | ||
| Literally right next to it was the other buildings they were using for the... | ||
| The delegates and all that stuff. | ||
| For like meetings and press and other stuff. | ||
| And when you walked out of the building, you were in one big secure area in Milwaukee. | ||
| After you passed through security, you could walk to either building without issue. | ||
| You didn't have to go through security again. | ||
| This is crazy. | ||
| This is navigating the entire city when they're expecting mass protests and rioting that some people are comparing to 1968. | ||
| So even if we did decide to go there and do a show in Chicago, I'm like, where would we go? | ||
| They're so far away from each other. | ||
| You just gotta pick one of them and that's the one you pick. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| I mean, McCormick Place is massive. | ||
| Absolutely massive. | ||
| That's probably where all the media and everything's gonna be. | ||
| I wonder if they're separating it. | ||
| I mean, the United Center's like a blip compared to it. | ||
| Oh, dude. | ||
| The satellite imagery. | ||
| Yeah, McCormick Place is no joke. | ||
| McCormick Place is just ridiculously huge. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Yeah, it's thick. | ||
| Both buildings. | ||
| It's like three buildings, basically. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Huge convention center and a big parking structure. | ||
| Okay, so you're going to get out of the car, or you're going to get out of Unite Center, and you're going to jump in your car, and there's going to be protest. | ||
| Every road's going to be blocked off. | ||
| They're going to have, like in Milwaukee, they had a bunch of, all the roads are closed. | ||
| You couldn't even get anywhere near the secure zone because they have those big concrete blocks blocking the street because they have multi-layered security. | ||
| Someone's like, dude, they're going to be throwing molotovs, they're going to be acting crazy. | ||
| I mean, they're there to disrupt, and I think that's what they're going to do. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They're going to disrupt, I guess. | |
| Even if they shut off streets specifically for traffic for the vent goers, they're just going to go in those streets. | ||
| There's just too much. | ||
| And with UIC being right there, oh dude, this is going to be crazy. | ||
| Downtown Chicago businesses are already boarding up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| As of two hours ago. | ||
| Because this weekend is when it kicks off. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yo, that's wild. | ||
| Like, nothing happened at the RNC. | ||
| A bunch of wingnuts were outside. | ||
| There was, like, a couple hundred people in there holding up signs just yelling, and it was like, I walked right past. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Like, literally nothing happened. | ||
| Chicago's gonna be crazy. | ||
| You know, to be honest, I would be really surprised and it'd be very funny if literally nothing happened. | ||
| In Chicago? | ||
| Yeah, just nobody cared. | ||
| I don't think that's gonna... Considering how big Chicago is, and considering the anger over the installation of Kamala Harris, yeah, I think it's gonna get nuts. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, you saw some, I mean, uh, Wood Lyman on Twitter did a lot of good reporting when there were the pro-Palestine protests in DC and, like, the paint and climbing the gates at the White House and all this stuff. | ||
| Like, it, it, you can only imagine now that people have known for a long time that this is, like, sort of the big, I don't want to say crescendo, but like this is a big moment to get attention. | ||
| I mean, they're the ones calling genocide Joe. | ||
| And again, they're not known for not doing anything. | ||
| Like the whole thing is they go and fairly disruptive. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I've heard like totally normal people be interviewed. | ||
| They're saying, you know, I'm Democrat, but I didn't like Joe Biden. | ||
| And I will only support Kamala Harris if she vows to make sure there's a complete ceasefire with no contingencies, you know, whatever else. | ||
| And like, she hasn't done that. | ||
| So they have no reason. | ||
| No, of course she's not going to, but she has no way of deterring them. | ||
| There's not a false promise that you can offer. | ||
| And you can't have the police come in and just, like, you know, crack down on them hard because that won't look good either. | ||
| You know, fire hoses. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| I mean, she's in a tough spot on this regardless. | ||
| But that's why I think she responded to that protester breaking into a rally with, like, righteous feminist energy, right? | ||
| Like, I am speaking. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Because that's the only thing she can try to- I think you only have one of those. | |
| You can't just go to that toolbox every time. | ||
| And I thought that was borrowed from her debate. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I'm speaking. | ||
| I'm speaking. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I'm gonna start doing that to all of you. | ||
| All of you. | ||
| A female consultant said that's gonna play really well with women. | ||
| Do it. | ||
| I feel like it doesn't. | ||
| I'd love to see the numbers and the polls on that, because I think some women, sure, but there's gotta be enough women. | ||
| There's a lot of chicks who are the girl boss stuff, and they go, yeah, a lot of yassqueening. | ||
| The trope is that women say that when they're in the workplace, the men don't listen to what they have to say. | ||
| And so Kamala Harris is saying, I'm speaking. | ||
| I'm speaking. | ||
| Which is funny, because in any debate between guys, they just talk over each other. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But the woman has to make sure she stamps her foot. | ||
| I wonder if that was actually detrimental to her, to be honest. | ||
| Like, there's probably a lot of women who like it. | ||
| But it's a weird thing to do when Trump just starts talking. | ||
| Trump will go, excuse me, excuse me, no, you can't say that because blah, blah, blah. | ||
| He doesn't say, I'm speaking, then pause. | ||
| I mean, but the pro-Palestine people, even if she ignores them, they're like, what are you going to do? | ||
| Vote for Donald Trump? | ||
| Like, what are you going to do? | ||
| Like, what is the threat here? | ||
| I don't know if they're going to vote yet. | ||
| I honestly don't know if the far leftists that are... I mean, I still think if they think they can make a difference and they're forced with that decision, they're like, what are you going to do? | ||
| Vote for Donald Trump? | ||
| You're not going to vote for Donald Trump. | ||
| I think it's mixed. | ||
| I think that some will eventually cave and vote whoever the Democrat is, no matter what. | ||
| But I think there are people where if this is your single issue, you're just not going to turn out. | ||
| And that's actually, I think, what... I suppose. | ||
| But these are pretty politically active people. | ||
| The thought of them saying, like, we're just going to abstain. | ||
| And you're like, OK, well, if you abstain, then you might get Donald Trump. | ||
| So... They don't care. | ||
| They just want to be oppressed. | ||
| They don't want guys... And I think there's like... I mean, I don't know. | ||
| I don't know if they think it out like that. | ||
| No. | ||
| Like, you know what I mean? | ||
| But I'm like, you're not voting ends up with Donald Trump. | ||
| Or, but it's the virtue of like, I won't vote for someone who has done anything wrong, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Like, people- But Donald Trump will arguably be worse. | |
| Sure, but- Like, if you ask them, he will be anyways. | ||
| Maybe, but maybe that's the thing. | ||
| Like, it's like saying, I'm not voting for either one of you. | ||
| And therefore I was not a part in the destruction of what it's not super logical. | ||
| It's mostly emotional. | ||
| Yeah, they don't operate on logic, really. | ||
| But no, no, but I both of them are bad. | ||
| And so therefore you have the moral high ground by saying like, I wouldn't even support them no matter what. | ||
| Yeah, I guess if that's the thought. | ||
| But I mean, if I'm Kamala Harris, I'm not giving them too much oxygen. | ||
| Because for that reason, exactly where I go, who do you have to vote for? | ||
| Who are you going to vote for then? | ||
| It's like the DeSantis on our side. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| What are you going to do? | ||
| Are you going to vote for Kamala or are you going to vote for Trump? | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| But I think Harris is... Abe Smith. | ||
| Well, write in. | ||
| I think Harris is... Chase Oliver. | ||
| I never hear about him anymore, ever. | ||
| The Mises Caucus, like the Libertarian Party was shining. | ||
| It was like a rocket to the moon and then they put Chase Oliver in front and everyone just jumped out. | ||
| Man, I moderated the Colorado Libertarian State Convention. | ||
| How was it? | ||
| It was... Did anybody take their pants off? | ||
| No, but it was nutty. | ||
| It was some of the things that these candidates say. | ||
| I'm like, this is crazy. | ||
| Some of them are like, no borders anywhere. | ||
| I'm like, really? | ||
| You think it's going to get you elected, huh? | ||
| Because Libertarians are so, like, they span such a huge spectrum that there are, like, very intense no borders, open borders Libertarians. | ||
| And you can also get people who are like, no, of course we need a border to be able to have the kind of, like, ideal government. | ||
| out there. | ||
| Libertarians is very enticing. | ||
| Like Luke used to come on and I used to watch and I was like, okay, that's cool. | ||
| Cool policy got all good things going on. | ||
| And I was watching you know, their their conference and then Chase Oliver happens. | ||
| And I'm like, wait a second. | ||
| This is I mean, he was by far the most polished of all of them. | ||
| You're like it like watching there was like five of them. | ||
| And I was like, if you guys are trying to get the most votes, I'm like, this is the guy in America who by far out of the five options will get the most votes. | ||
| Chase Oliver, for sure. He's so polished. He's like a proper old school politician, always smiling. | ||
| You think Chase Oliver... Wait, wait. | ||
| Of the presidential candidates that the Libertarian Party had, | ||
| to me, he was the guy who would get them the most overall votes. | ||
| In my opinion. | ||
| Because he was so just like a polished politician, who just knew what the things to say. | ||
| Obviously, he like policy issues aside, but they all had problems with Dave Smith platform. | ||
| Well, this is not an option. | ||
| Right, right, right, right. | ||
| No, no, David's never an option. | ||
| I'm talking about the guys who were actually going to be... Right, right, right. | ||
| Like when you line them up on stage. | ||
| They were all five of them were on stage. | ||
| We're in like we're in like an auditorium thing or whatever. | ||
| And like between those five guys, you're like, yeah, Chase Oliver is by far the best one. | ||
| I mean, that's a sad state of affairs for the Libertarian Party. | ||
| Recktenwald was pretty good, but I don't know that I... Recktenwald was second for sure. | ||
| And the other three were like... That's kind of crazy. | ||
| The other three... Because Oliver's nuts. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| But they all are. | ||
| They're all nuts. | ||
| He is a lefty professor guy who came around and was like, these people are crazy. | ||
| But he's got a little bit more of the populist anti-war indignation and more of a normal human, like regular guy. | ||
| But I'm just saying, because they all have crazy policies. | ||
| You're trying to reach mainstream Americans who are just used to Republican Democrats who have fairly similar policies besides Trump. | ||
| Three or four things. | ||
| No, I agree with you in the sense that Chase Oliver is more of a politician. | ||
| Yeah, he's more of a politician. | ||
| But Recton Wald had more connections. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, like, we invited Chase Oliver onto the Culture War podcast to debate and he just, like, can't do it. | ||
| And then the VP candidate, was it Mike Termat? | ||
| Termat, yeah. | ||
| Said he wanted to do it but he was busy and he couldn't do it either. | ||
| So we ended up having Mises Caucus guys And just debating the issue and they're nowhere to be found. | ||
| They're not doing events. | ||
| Chase Oliver did an event and literally not a single person showed up. | ||
| It was just staffers or something. | ||
| I mean they were literally like one, I think it was Mike Tremont, or maybe it was another guy, but they're like, we're polling currently at zero. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Like they were on stage being like, we are currently polling at zero. | ||
| Recton Wald would have polled better than zero. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because of his connections. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He would get on a lot of podcasts, he would talk, he would... And marketing matters. | ||
| I do think it's fair to say that personality-wise, Chase Oliver... Like, if you just took the two guys and stood them up, Chase Oliver probably does better than Recktenwald, but when they actually start talking, and when they actually start going out to go to events, Recktenwald wins. | ||
| Yeah, but for someone who's not kind of dialed into the, like, maybe doesn't even know what libertarian means or what it is, like, I feel like Chase Oliver would... The vibes voter? | ||
| The vibes voter, like, he would connect more. | ||
| But I was that guy. | ||
| He's gay, and... But as soon as he got, as soon as I learned about him, when I actually was, that totally... Well, like, he basically caused, like... But he's not going to reach anybody. | ||
| No, he's not going to reach, but he basically caused, like, an internal turmoil because all these states are like, we're not even putting him on the ballot. | ||
| Well, because he's pro-vaccine mandates, lying about it by conflating government mandates with private mandates. | ||
| His opinion is that private entities should be allowed to mandate vaccines if they want, and the government should not. | ||
| Okay, so he has a pro-vaccine mandate stance as it pertains to private entities. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then when I say that that's a pro-vaccine mandate, they go, no, it's not. | ||
| You're lying. | ||
| You're a liar. | ||
| You're lying. | ||
| It's like, I don't think private companies or the government should be able to mandate medical treatments for people. | ||
| So he's got these weird like, you know what it is, the libertarians. | ||
| have these people who are like, oppression and authoritarianism is allowed only if it's a large monopoly. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I'm just like, what? | ||
| Yeah, you have some like, platforms where you go, these are amazing. | ||
| I love all these and they go, but there's three other things you go too crazy. | ||
| Yeah, like, unfortunately, you're like, you're not gonna reach. | ||
| And you have lost me now. | ||
| Yeah, like, literally, you go, this is great. | ||
| This is great now. | ||

| YGCast says, Trump deserves a purple heart. | ||
| Who's with me? | ||
| Well, he was the commander in chief, and then he was injured in the line of his civic duties of running for office. | ||
| No, I don't know about that. | ||
| I think Purple Hearts are for people who are, you know, in and... Yeah. | ||

| All right. | ||
| Barely a millennial says, did you see AP finally acknowledging that Hunter Biden sought US government help with Burisma? | ||
| Are they doing this because they want Joe Biden to step down? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| I think that's coming. | ||
| And because they're prepping for his legal case, I think. | ||
| You know, he's going to go to trial in September. | ||
| So they're starting to be like, here's all of his tax issues. | ||
| I was thinking about that today when you're talking about it. | ||
| October, they're going to kick out Biden a month beforehand. | ||
| That's just... It'll be an emergency or something. | ||
| A lot of the same things going on, but that would be the most insane. | ||
| But it would be a huge boost for Kamala. | ||
| Yeah, it would be. | ||
| Because they'd be singing First Female President, there'd be confetti everywhere, and then they'd say things like, we can't let the First Female President end with a month in! | ||
|
unidentified
|
I literally did that in Canada in the 90s. | |
| Kim Campbell for like a month and then she went up for election. | ||
| She lose? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| They're going to say, like, could you imagine if the first female president is only in for a month and then loses? | ||
| How embarrassing. | ||
| And then that's their... It'll be Canada. | ||
| They'll use it as a rallying cry. | ||
| So then we got to vote for her. | ||
| Apparently a millennial says, my eight-year-old son asked me earlier how I would react if all of a sudden we had two moons. | ||
| And I can't stop thinking about it, lol. | ||
| If all of a sudden we had two moons, I would probably start counting my blessings and digging a hole. | ||
| Or probably just lay back and wait out the end of days, because if there were two moons, you'd probably only have a little bit of time before the Earth just got wiped out. | ||
| Some huge tsunami. | ||
| I mean, me and David could get two moons right now, hey! | ||
| But where are the moons gonna be? | ||
| Yeah, is it a single moon that splits? | ||
| Is it our moon that splits in half, or does the second? | ||
| I'm just like, if the moon just doubled itself, then they'd probably collide, and life would just cease to exist, and everything would get destroyed. | ||
| Not to mention, everyone's astrology signs would be pulled out of whack. | ||
| Make sure you tell your kid all of this stuff. | ||
| All the astrology signs would be pulled out of whack, and people would start behaving differently, and then who knows? | ||
| And white women would get really upset. | ||
| You can't mess with the astrology. | ||
| None of the crystals will work anymore. | ||
| It'll be a disaster. | ||

What is Project Strawberry? | |

| I didn't say that, I said strawberry. | ||
| Strawberry. | ||
| ChatGPT says... | ||
| that it is searching four different websites. A secretive initiative by OpenAI aimed at significantly enhancing the | ||
| reasoning capabilities of AI models, the project which builds upon an earlier effort known as Q | ||
| is designed to enable AI to perform complex tasks, such as autonomous web searches, multi-step problem solving, | ||
| and even planning something current models struggle with. | ||
| They say if it's successful, it could represent a significant step towards creating AI with human-like | ||
| problem solving capabilities, potentially moving us closer to the concept of artificial | ||

| Jose Torres says Jersey Mike's destroyed Subway. | ||
| Jersey Mike's. | ||
| I do think the emergence of other sandwich chains kind of- That didn't help either. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like Jimmy John's and Jersey Mike's, I feel like those- And Firehouse Subs and Potbelly. | ||
| Potbelly too. | ||
| And WitchWitch, right? | ||

| Polypuresis Subway has too many chemicals in their bread and meat. | ||
| Yeah, they had the yoga mats. | ||
| What? | ||
| I don't know if this was in Canada or it was here, but I think it was all over. | ||
| But then I think either they banned it here, but they didn't ban it in Canada. | ||
| But there's a chemical that's in yoga mats that was also in their bread. | ||
| And then they had to remove it here, but Canada still kept it because it was... They put propylene glycol in muffins and drinks. | ||
| It's maybe what it was, or something like that. | ||
| Propylene glycol, they say it's inert and it's fine to eat, but we would use, I think we used propylene, or did we use ethylene? | ||
| We use it to de-ice planes. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I think we use propylene glycol. | ||
| And the reason they put it in muffins is because it simulates oil. | ||
| It makes it remain moist-ish. | ||
| And, like, longer shelf life, probably. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| So when you're getting a real baked good, like a cake, they put oil in it. | ||
| And that makes it moist and delicious. | ||
| If you don't, it'll start to dry out. | ||
| But if you're mass-producing garbage, you will put, like, propylene glycol in it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ugh. | |
| It was funny. | ||
| I worked at O'Hare Airport. | ||
| And they were like, you know in the de-icing trucks, you're in this big cherry picker on top of a truck and you've got this hose over your shoulder and you're pulling the lever and blasting the plane with this high intensity mixture of, I think it was 50% and 80%. | ||
| One was orange and it was to melt the ice, and then the other was to coat it with sludge so that ice wouldn't form. | ||
| And they were like, yeah, look, it's going to get in the air everywhere. | ||
| It's going to get all of your clothes and face. | ||
| So wear goggles and like, it's fine if you eat it or breathe it in. | ||
| Just don't do a lot of it because you don't know. | ||
| And then one of the guys doing the icing was driving the truck and then his buddy was walking by and he was like, hey, so-and-so. | ||
| And then he just blasted him with it. | ||
| And the guy was drenched in glycol and they were like, huh? | ||
| Were you wearing a tie bag? | ||
| Tie bag suits? | ||
| So you didn't get it on you? | ||
| No, it was, uh, you're wearing a winter jacket and a scarf. | ||
| I wasn't anywhere near when it happened, but that's what they said happened. | ||
| When you're spraying it, you think you would have a Tyvek suit on or something. | ||
| Yeah, and they told us they were like, oh, yeah, yeah, it wasn't ethylene glycol. | ||
| Ethylene glycol is antifreeze. | ||
| It was propylene glycol. | ||
| And they were like, don't worry, it's fine. | ||
| They put it in drinks and they put it in muffins. | ||
| And I'm like, should they put it in those things? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| That makes me not want to eat those things. | ||
| Well, if you want to buy a, you know, two month old muffin that's still Fresh. | ||
| David Geer says, Dr. Pepper used to have propylene glycol in it, that stuff is antifreeze. | ||
| We literally use it to de-ice planes, I don't know what to tell you. | ||
| Ethylene glycol is the bottle of antifreeze that tastes sweet and will kill you and don't drink it and animals drink it because they don't know what it is. | ||
| But, um, they say propylene glycol is fine, but don't ask me, I'm not a doctor, so... I don't want to find out. | ||
| Real quick, we, I, I worked at a, we made a roofing installation at John's Manville, and we use, uh, propylene, uh, glycol for, it degrades to keep it, like, not iced up and stuff like that. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| It stops freezing. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Crazy. | ||
| FearMe16 says, Kamala's dad is literally an economist. | ||
| I mean, a Marxist one, but potato, potato. | ||
| Potato, potato. | ||
| Look, that's why he thinks it's a good policy. | ||
| It's all she knows. | ||
| Communism. | ||
| Communism. | ||
| Robert Held says, Alex Jones said Trump's going to Rikers earlier. | ||
| I wouldn't be surprised. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Start stocking up on rice and beans, I guess. | ||
| Safe and ready meals. | ||
| Go ahead. | ||

| What do we have here? | ||
| Chris Nopolis says, in September 18th, right before early voting, wasn't there a Democrat poll out saying X percent wouldn't vote for a felon? | ||
| Probably. | ||
| Man, they're going to put Trump in a jumpsuit. | ||
| Maybe the reason they actually delayed his sentencing was not to get him into the RNC, but it's because they thought he wasn't going to be alive. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Maybe. | |
| I mean, he's not going to look good either when they don't let him do the self-tanner. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Listen to politics ever since 2020. | ||
| This stuff is nuts. | ||
| Yeah, this is nuts level. | ||
| Crazy. | ||
| There's real Banana Republic stuff going on. | ||
| Oh, for reals. | ||
| Let's go! | ||
| Gon says, if Trump goes to jail, he's not going to see the next election and no video surveillance. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Uh-oh. | |
| I don't like the sound of that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, they already proved the Secret Service is not particularly... Maybe that's the... they're setting us up. | |
| You know what I mean? | ||
| So we believe that the Secret Service would fail again. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Wrath of Paul says, what if Trump just ignores the judge's sentence and dares them to come get him? | ||
| Anything they do to him only makes him more popular. | ||
| Ronald McFondle says, Kami, chameleon, Kami, Kami, Kami, Kami, Kamala, you come and go. | ||
| Very clever. | ||
| Last Responder says Trump-Hillary contingent election. | ||
| Senate chooses Hillary Clinton to make her the VP. | ||
| Oh, and then Trump slips and falls and Hillary becomes president. | ||
| Yeah, he has a little incident. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Robert Peter says, I can no longer believe that any of the current events are remotely spontaneous. | ||
| What is straw that breaks the camel's back? | ||
| Will we even recognize it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, if it hasn't happened yet, I don't know. | |
| I kind of feel like it's just... I don't know. | ||
| I talked about this before when I had Eric Prince on Culture War and he said it just happens overnight. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like everything seems normal and you wake up one day and there's no internet and then there's no electricity. | ||
| TV's not on. | ||
| Radio's not on. | ||
| So... That's the thing. | ||
| That's the scariest part because who do you even complain to? | ||
| Just your neighbor? | ||
| You wake up one day, the internet's not working, there's nothing on the TV, and you're shrugging like, I don't know what's going on. | ||
| You go outside and you look around, you notice your neighbors are looking around and you're like, do you guys know what's going on? | ||
| And then an APC pulls up and guys in military uniforms jump out and they're like, how's it going everybody, don't worry, we're dealing with everything, we're taking control. | ||
| Is there, like, an alderman or is there anybody in the area we can talk to who's in charge? | ||
| Somebody, maybe a neighborhood watch or whatever? | ||
| And then the guys are going to say, you're going to listen to us, we're going to tell you what to do in case of an emergency. | ||
| Our guys are going to be stationed here, here, here. | ||
| And you're like... | ||
| Okay, I guess. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then five hours later, another APC pulls up and a guy jumps out and he goes, we're, we're in charge here. | ||
| Don't worry, everybody. | ||
| And they're like, are you with those guys? | ||
| And they go, who? | ||
| And they go, those other guys, they're wearing red patches on their arms. | ||
| And they go, where? | ||
| And then they. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| I think in New York City, they go, who's in charge? | ||
| And then 20 guys are like, I am. | ||
| I am. | ||
| I don't know if that happened in First World Country, Tim. | ||
| What, that APCs will pull up the power? | ||
| Just the way you say overnight, everything's going to be done overnight. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| I think it will. | ||
| I mean, I think the issue is optimism and normalcy bias. | ||
| world country where that happened? I mean, I think the issue is optimism, | ||
| normal optimism and normalcy bias. People assume it can't happen to me when | ||
| there's no reason why it couldn't. Yeah. I mean, we have we've had internet | ||
| outages, uh, ever so often big ones. I mean, Google Google's DNS went down a | ||
| few, like, I don't know, 67 years ago or something. Big power outage in New | ||
| York City for like three days or something. We get cell phone outages. We | ||
| get all sorts of stuff happening. We had that oil pipeline shut down and | ||
| everyone was panicking. So these things are small, but imagine four of them | ||
| happened at once. And then people are just like, what's going on? I mean, | ||
| honestly, for like one area, like the backhaul line gets cut or a deep water | ||
| cable gets cut and then you cut off a whole area of the Internet and they have | ||
| no idea what's going on. | ||
| The question is, could it get serious to the point where, you know, you don't know what's actually happening? | ||
| I think the answer is yes. | ||
| I think it's entirely possible. | ||
| Satellite internet changes things, but, you know, of course it's possible. | ||
| Critical infrastructure failure could happen. | ||
| The question is, like, will it happen? | ||
| Kenny Cam says, Tim ever thought cat turd etc are being paid? | ||
| Kind of makes sense, huh? | ||
| Being paid by Kamala? | ||
| I mean, the whole thing's weird to literally just be attacking moderates and then celebrating it. | ||
| It's like you want Trump to lose. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| Yeah, that's literally what we criticized the left for doing 10 years ago. | ||
| So I'll say this. | ||
| I legit think Kamala could win. | ||
| And I think that Trump's campaigning is indicative of their internals are not so good. | ||
| A lot of people are like, oh, the polls are fake. | ||
| Don't believe it. | ||
| You got to keep morale up and all that stuff. | ||
| And I'm like, yeah, for sure. | ||
| You know, I just think morale is not material. | ||
| You have to fight no matter what happens, no matter how you got to show up. | ||
| I said this the other day. | ||
| If Donald Trump could take a bullet for you, no matter what you think, no matter what you're doing, you go out and cast your vote for him. | ||
| That being said, if a lot of people are on Vibes, and there's a lot of moderates who don't know and don't care about Trump, and this is a fact, Joe Rogan won't endorse Trump. | ||
| Joe Rogan, who knows about the gender ideology stuff, who knows Kamala's crazy, who knows the system is effed, still will not say he's voting for Donald Trump. | ||
| Yeah, Taylor Swift won't endorse Harris though. | ||
| Yeah, I find that really interesting. | ||
| She's staying out of the politics. | ||
| I feel like those cancel each other out. | ||
| Well, I think because people are concerned about the hyperpolarization coming to an extreme point. | ||
| It's bad for business. | ||
| So they're like, keep me out of it. | ||
| If Trump's going to win, you need to be the open arms, come and join the party party. | ||
| Otherwise, you have become the exclusionary. | ||
| If you're not with us, you're against this. | ||
| And if you weren't here from day one, get the F out. | ||
| And that's what these people are doing. | ||
| So, okay. | ||
| I think this is a huge component of what's going to cost Trump the election. | ||
| If he does lose, it's because he needs every slim percentage he can get, and his—I don't—look, I think Trump needs to have his campaign people calling their... if these guys really are Trump's biggest | ||
| supporters, then when Trump calls them, they answer. And they say, yes, | ||
| Mr. President, like, what can I do for you to help? So Trump should have his campaign people be | ||
| like, guys, can you please stop attacking moderates? And the response should be like, you | ||
| got it. Well, we'll chill out. | ||
| I guess it's not happening. People are going to jump ship. | ||
| Catterd only listens to Catterd. | ||
| Yep. All right. | ||
| Anthony Passmore says, almost died yesterday as a statistic of the Biden-Harris open border policy. | ||
| A 20-year-old non-n-speaker Arab migrant slammed into me at 95 plus miles an hour and totaled my car. | ||
| Thankful to live, but screwed by INS. | ||
| INS is not a thing. | ||
| Hasn't been for, what, 20-something years? | ||
| I know. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Gotta get Rick. | ||
| Paul Teskelo says, I have no problem with Trump playfully calling out Rogan. | ||
| Rogan felt the need to put out a tweet to clarify he didn't endorse RFK. | ||
| Trump established his alpha dominance. | ||
| Joe Beto Rogan understood. | ||
| And what this means is, do you think Joe's happy about it? | ||
| Do you think Joe's happy to, like, tweet, I'm so sorry for the things I said and I didn't mean it? | ||
| Because he's done it more than once? | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| I don't know how much he really cares, but I can tell you this. | ||
| You want people who have large hits of influence to at least be somewhat sympathetic. | ||
| You want Joe Rogan to go on his show and be like, I gotta be honest, like, when I criticize Trump, his people just try and talk to me about it and try and convince me, but the Democrat people scream at me. | ||
| Well, now he's gonna say, oh, they're all crazy. | ||
| They all attack you like crazy. | ||
| I mean, these people are nuts. | ||
| That's basically what he said. | ||
| When he said RFK's the only one who makes sense, he's the only one not gaslighting and attacking and criticizing. | ||
| He knows how to handle a bear. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Indeed he does. | ||
| Can you imagine a Trump-Kennedy ticket where he just tells all these crazy stories? | ||

I was hawking and then there was no fare! | |
| John Q. Citizen says, so my car broke down today. | ||

| I can't afford that. | ||
| What's your favorite punk album? | ||
| Mine's the Vandals quickening album. | ||
| Oh, I don't know if I have a favorite album. | ||
| Because, I don't know, I like the anti-flag a lot, back in the day. | ||
| But, you know, I was like 15, and they're nuts. | ||
| So I don't know how I feel about them these days. | ||
| Yeah, I don't know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know if there's any good punk. | |
| The Defiant! | ||
| The Defiant, they're good. | ||
| Are they punk? | ||
| Kinda, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Ish. | ||
| They are? | ||
| Punky? | ||
| I'm not protesting. | ||
|

|
Pop, pop, pop, punk, as they get older, maybe? | |
| I don't know their album. | ||
| The Simple Plan guy. | ||
| I like them though. | ||
| That's my favorite punk band. | ||
| Simple Plan, huh? | ||
| He's got this look on his face like he knows he's insulting people. | ||
| They're super punk. | ||
| Big Pierre guy. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But they did rock when they were live here. | ||
| That was a rocking good time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
See? | |
| Big punk. | ||
| I meant to defy it. | ||
| Oh, I thought you meant something else. | ||
| Freddie says, how crazy is it that if someone says Trump is going to ban free speech, no one bats an eye, but Trump is going to ban abortion, riots in the streets, dystopian AF, we should have that same energy with all our rights? | ||
| Well, it's because people of low cognitive function have nothing to say and are not worried about being silenced. | ||
| They just want to fit in. | ||
| What do we have here? | ||
| An average cat says, on August 10th, 2024, my niece's husband, Nathan Morris of Canton, Michigan, was shot and killed in his neighborhood in a senseless act of violence over mulch he left behind his wife of 10 years and two children ages 5 and 2. | ||
| Man, sorry to hear it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Very sad. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| R.I.P. | ||
| my bad. | ||
| Very sad. | ||
| Down and Out Nashville says Trump had a good day with Joe Rogan and Dennis Quaid today. | ||
| Really good podcast for Trump today. | ||
| Joe Rogan is helping his country like he should. | ||
| What happened? | ||
| Dennis Quaid was on Rogan today. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, OK. | |
| He has his Reagan movie. | ||
| It's going to be spectacular here. | ||
| And so how does that help Trump? | ||
| Maybe he says something good about him? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It's too long. | ||
| I didn't have time. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| All right, we'll grab a couple more Super Chats here. | ||
| Where are we at? | ||
| Jason Hutchinson says, you need to be there for that baby not working a job that might result in your own life being sacrificed. | ||
| Amen. | ||
| I mean, that's kind of crazy too. | ||
| She's got to breastfeed. | ||
| She's nursing a child and then she's risking her life. | ||
| What if she died and then the baby, what are they going to do? | ||
| I mean, start feeding a formula, I guess, but like... Become an orphan? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's just weird that the government agency... Well, until there's a father... We don't know! | |
| The dad can't breastfeed. | ||
| It's 2024. | ||
| Dads can breastfeed. | ||
| I'm pretty sure that the hormone stuff they induce doesn't actually produce full lactation. | ||
| It produces something else. | ||
| Like jet fuel. | ||
| No, what is it called? | ||
| Touch of the sea? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Colostrum? | |
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| That males who take this stuff don't produce milk, they produce this thick pre-milk stuff. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, not the same. | |
| But the kid can have formula, I suppose. | ||
| It's just weird that the government agency would be like, we're so dedicated to equality that we think it's a good idea that you're in the field. | ||
| Like, obviously higher risk for everybody there. | ||
| I hope we get a follow up on this story to actually find out. | ||
| All right. | ||
| It's Justin. | ||
| Amy says, Tim, should an employer be able to mandate an employee get a hernia surgery in order to return to work? | ||
| If that medical treatment, why not a vaccine? | ||
| It depends. | ||
| So if someone is physically incapable of doing their job, then I think it's fair to be like, if you can't do the job, why are you here? | ||
| If somebody ruptures their gut and literally can't lift anything anymore, then it's not even about the hernia, it's about, hey, look, when you're able to lift again, you can, but you've got a hernia. | ||
| You're not going to be able to. | ||
| The thing about vaccinations is that You can tell people we preferred if you did, but if someone goes to their doctor and the doctor says, you literally can't get this, the employer shouldn't be able, like, I don't agree with the employer being like, get it or you can't work here, when your doctor says it's detrimental to your health and you can't do it. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't think that employers should be able to mandate these things. | ||
| Yeah, I don't know. | ||
| But it's all moral lines too, right? | ||
| Like, the argument about a hernia has nothing to do with a vaccine. | ||
| A vaccine is a permanent alteration to your body through a chemical substance entered into your bloodstream. | ||
| Repairing a hernia is a physical injury of ruptured abdominal wall. | ||
| So it's like, if your leg broke, Yeah, fix your broken leg. | ||
| That's a positive impact. | ||
| If you said everyone has to get a vaccine no matter what, and then the doctor's like, well, you can't for this reason, so you get fired, I think that's BS. | ||
| I don't like that. | ||
| Telling someone they have to permanently physically alter themselves. | ||
| It would be more akin to saying, could an employer mandate someone get an ear piercing or their tongue split or something? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Fixing your body or whatever. | ||
| But again, it's also moral lines. | ||
| Morally, I don't like the idea of mass vaccination mandates, but requiring someone to fix an injured part of their body is not that big a deal to me. | ||
| It's not about all medical issues, it's about universal medication and chemicals. | ||
| And it really depends. | ||
| It really does. | ||
| Alright, where were we at? | ||
| Where we at? | ||
| Shadov says, Hey Tim, did you, I might've missed it, but did you guys cover Susan Wojcicki? | ||
| Is that how you pronounce it? | ||
| It's a death? | ||
| I know. | ||
| Wojcicki? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wojcicki? | |
| I know there's a lot of bad blood about her censoring history, but I recall she had children and they can't help but feel a bit sad. | ||
| No, I mean, we mentioned it briefly. | ||
| I tweeted out, you know, condolences. | ||
| It's sad to hear. | ||
| I'm not going to revel in anybody dying. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right? | |
| Yeah, she had a pretty aggressive form of cancer and had left her job, you know, at the time just to focus on her health and her kids. | ||
| And her oldest son, or one of her oldest sons, she's five total, had just died of a drug overdose. | ||
| Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, college, right? | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah, earlier this year. | ||
| So it's definitely a tough time for that family. | ||
| Misa Mori says, how do you think the social security hack will impact the HAVV numbers? | ||
| We'll stop seeing people not coming up. | ||
| They'll all be confirmed now because whoever is filling out those registration forms are going to have the correct information. | ||
| I think the states have to be the ones on top of this. | ||
| You can see stuff coming out of Alabama where they're going through their voter rolls to make sure that the non-citizens aren't registered to vote. | ||
| But you have to have a state government that wants to do that. | ||
| And if you're Democrat-led, maybe not. | ||
