There we go. | |
| All right, everybody. | ||
| Man, every time we try to start the show, this is just freezing, but it's okay because we're here and we love you. | ||
| So we got big news. | ||
| Donald Trump has been increasingly pushing rhetoric around ending all income tax. | ||
| And it's one thing for Trump to go to a rally or to go to an event and say, you know, things were a lot better when we didn't have an income tax. | ||
| But the New York Times says that Donald Trump is flirting with the ultimate idea. | ||
| Ending all income tax. | ||
| In fact, NBC has already stated that Donald Trump's policies could exempt 93 million Americans from all income tax. | ||
| So I'm just sitting here being like, I can only vote for the guy one time. | ||
| You don't need to sell me on him anymore. | ||
| So we'll talk about that because it is kind of an extreme position that I'm sure a lot of libertarians are now deciding to vote for Trump over. | ||
| But we also have the Kamala Harris Town Hall on CNN, which has to have been the worst town hall ever done by a candidate in history. | ||
| And I mean, anywhere at any point. | ||
| We're going to play clips. | ||
| But, yo, it was so bad. | ||
| The Washington Post is saying it was bad. | ||
| And CNN panelists were saying it was bad. | ||
| I got to tell you, when you have a CNN panelist being like, well, Kamala was just spewing word salad. | ||
| What was that? | ||
| Yeah, it was really bad. | ||
| And then, of course, we'll talk about how the odds are starting to line up. | ||
| And ladies and gentlemen, well, this may come as no surprise to you, but a survival community is calling in its members to spend the election week in their survival camps because of fear of what may actually happen. | ||
| Not that the world's going to end, we don't know for sure, but the Independent has stated the Civil War has already begun. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, we've heard it. | ||
| The corporate press keeps saying the Civil War has already started. | ||
| Hey, don't look at me. | ||
| I've only ever said I think we're on track for one. | ||
| Now the media is actually saying, we're in one. | ||
| When you look at how the election is being held, one believing in you can vote whenever you want, even after the election day, and one believing in a constitution, certainly seems like we have two completely different countries. | ||
| But we'll talk about all that. | ||

| Joining us tonight to talk about this and so much more is a man of great emotional intelligence, Danny Polishman. | ||
| Hey! | ||
| What's up? | ||
| How's it going? | ||
| Who are you? | ||
| I'm very good. | ||
| Very good. | ||
| Exciting. | ||
| Who are you? | ||
| Exciting. | ||
| Oh, who am I? I'm a comedian. | ||
| I'm a comedian, co-host of The Boys Cast, hosts a podcast called Low Value Mail, a call-in show, and just an all-around comedy guy. | ||
| Of high emotional intelligence. | ||
| Of high emotional intelligence, of course. | ||
| Yes, very emotionally intelligent. | ||
| Your first answer, when he asked you who you are, and you said, I am very good. | ||
| I thought he said, how are you? | ||
| I'm not the other kind of intelligence. | ||
| The smart kind. | ||
| The right one. | ||
| The right one, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Not the guy kind. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| You're one of the more emotionally intelligent people. | ||
| The wife disagrees. | ||
| As it should be. | ||
| Good to see you guys. | ||
| Ian Crossland here. | ||
| I'm a loyalist to the democratic process. | ||
| Happy to be in the house. | ||
| I thought I was going to say party for a second. | ||
| I was getting worried. | ||
| No. | ||
| No sycophants in this house. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| Danny's got his Kamala Harris Madam President shirt on. | ||
| My Master P. Master P. What's up, Phil? | ||
| Hello, everybody. | ||
| My name is Phil Labonte. | ||
| I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band All That Remains. | ||
| I'm an anti-communist and a counter-revolutionary. | ||
| So let's get into it. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| I can't believe... | ||
| Look, so Kamala Harris did this town hall and it was extremely bad. | ||
| But the New York Times has run this headline, so we have to lead with it. | ||
| Trump flirts with the ultimate tax cut. | ||
| No income taxes at all. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Woo! | |
| Former president has repeatedly praised a period in American history when there was no income tax and the country relied on tariffs to fund the government. | ||
| I love this because we're 12 days out from the election day. | ||
| Votes are coming in right now. | ||
| Republicans, I think, in North Carolina have already taken the lead in absentee ballot returns, which indicates they're winning and likely going to win the state. | ||
| And the New York Times is like, what can we do to make sure that everyone everywhere votes for Donald Trump? | ||
| And they said, let's say that Donald Trump wants to eliminate the income tax. | ||
| And that's what they wrote. | ||
| You've got this also from CNBC.com. | ||
| Trump tax plan could exempt 93 million Americans from income taxes. | ||
| OK, well, I can only vote for the guy one time. | ||
| You don't need to sell me on voting form again. | ||
| But is there anyone in this room who would be opposed to eliminating the income tax? | ||
| No. | ||
| Not looking good for Chase Oliver, though. | ||
| That just sunk his campaign. | ||
| Will you get out libertarian by Donald Trump? | ||
| Chase Oliver's banging the table right now. | ||
| Be like, what? | ||
| That's the only thing I had. | ||
|
unidentified
|
My thing! | |
| My thing. | ||
| I would not say no to this. | ||
| I just am wondering how it's going to work. | ||
| I don't think it will. | ||
| Oh, I knew Ian was going to be like, I like the income tax. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Oh, he said yes! | ||
| But like Phil said, it would make the government recalibrate and stop spending so much because they'd have to take... | ||
| They don't have the Federal Reserve and the income tax to manage inflation because that's all the income tax is for. | ||
| The idea that people have in their head that we take tax money in to pay for things, that's completely wrong. | ||
| Because the government has the printer and the Federal Reserve prints money for us, the income tax is just a means of taking money out of the system to help control inflation. | ||
| There's two ways that they control inflation. | ||
| Taxation and by changing the interest rate. | ||
| So if they print too much money, they just raise taxes to take the money out of the system. | ||
| If you take away their ability to print money, Endlessly, then you have to end the foreign wars. | ||
| The foreign expansionism, basically all of the times that the government decides we're going to put this policy into place, which essentially is a way to buy people's, any kind of service that they offer. | ||
| So free healthcare, we're going to give college students money, we're going to do all this. | ||
| All of this is buying votes. | ||
| It's the government saying, we're going to give you this, and the hope is this group, this special interest group, they will go ahead and they'll vote for us. | ||
| And that's what the government does. | ||
| They print money, give it to people hoping that they'll vote for it, for whichever person implemented the thing. | ||
| So it takes that power away, and it'll make the government, hopefully, in theory, it'll make the government more accountable to a more... | ||
| A more restrained economic policy. | ||
| It also incentivizes international trade, which I think is very interesting. | ||
| But this is getting offset with the tariffs, from what I understand. | ||
| He's like, we're going to be charging all these tariffs. | ||
| But like I looked at it before, there's probably like, you know, there's tens of millions of Americans who don't pay any income tax because they fall under the threshold. | ||
| And the tariffs are going to increase the cost of everything they buy. | ||
| So unless Trump... | ||
| It's not going to increase the cost of everything. | ||
| Well, anything that has a tariff on it. | ||
| Unless Trump can negotiate with the... | ||
| What's that? | ||
| Imported products. | ||
| Imported products. | ||
| There are currently... | ||
| So your milk, bread, and eggs are fine. | ||
| Well, there'll be a temporary period where you have to start firing up factories in this country to make the things that... | ||
| So that will improve the economy. | ||
| In the long run, but there will be a tremendous amount of pain short term. | ||
| There would be stuff that has to be sorted out. | ||
| But if you have things that are produced in the United States, prices would ostensibly go down. | ||
| You would have companies incentivized to produce things here in the U.S. as opposed to sending them overseas. | ||
| And currently, there's tariffs and stuff on any number of products. | ||
| It's not like there's no tariffs or anything. | ||
| There's tons of stuff. | ||
| Negotiate, right? | ||
| So it's not like, oh, we're going to get rid of income tax and there's no tariffs and we're going to put tariffs on everything and then everything is going to change. | ||
| There's already tariffs. | ||
| It's not like it's some brand new thing that we don't have. | ||
| No, Trump invented it. | ||
| As much as there are going to be people that are going to be affected by it, and it's going to cause distortions in the market, and there's going to be things that have to settle down, if it is implemented, it's not like it's some... | ||
| It's not like it'll be something that we don't have experience with, because there are tariffs here. | ||
| And right now, what did you say? | ||
| There's how many people that don't pay? | ||
| I think I read that 60 million people paid less than 1.5% income tax, which is essentially zero. | ||
| Those people don't pay... | ||
| Any kind of net income tax either, because they get that money back. | ||
| Yeah, that's what I'm saying. | ||
| So there's probably, I think it's less than 50% of the people. | ||
| 40% of U.S. households do not pay income tax in these United States. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| So that's a lot of people where you're, like, I mean, a lot of items will go up in price. | ||
| Like, especially any... | ||
| Which ones? | ||
| Anything that has an impact. | ||
| Like, if he says, I'm going to slap a tariff on aluminum or steel, right? | ||
| Anything that's made with aluminum or steel... | ||
| But that's saying we don't source aluminum or steel in our own country. | ||
| The purpose of the tariff is so that we bring those jobs back to you. | ||
| I understand that. | ||
| I'm saying you can't do that like snap a finger. | ||
| You could say in 10 years from now we'll have that all set up, but I don't think you can do that. | ||
| But they can also just print a bunch of money in. | ||
| But he's not running it. | ||
| So you know what he should do? | ||
| Just his first year, he should just do it, and then we'll have a little dip, and then it'll spike back up. | ||
| Or do it over a five-year period where every year there's a reduction, and then it scales up. | ||
| Unless he's not trying to be president again. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Yeah, so he's going to come in and be like, no, I'm fixing this. | ||
| So hate me. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I don't know that he could handle being hated, though. | ||
| But for real, he puts his name in gold letters on top of the building. | ||
| I mean, I was saying this to you before. | ||
| Like, obviously, I'm not from America. | ||
| I followed American politics. | ||
| But I don't ever remember leading up to an election like this close where all these people are just tabling all these crazy ideas that they had not said before. | ||
| Remember when Trump is like, no tax on tips. | ||
| And then Kamala goes, no tax on tips. | ||
| And then Trump's like, no tax on Social Security. | ||
| And she's like... | ||
| I'll forgive all of your debt. | ||
| And J.D. Vance is like, $5,000 tax credit per child. | ||
| And she goes, $6,000 tax credit per child. | ||
| It's like an auction. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And then Trump is like, no more taxes. | |
| That's crazy, though. | ||
| It's like an auction. | ||
| What I recall, it used to be like, this is my platform. | ||
| This is what I'm running on, and we're going to take this to the end. | ||
| Conceptually. | ||
| I'm stoked. | ||
| I hope Kamala goes nuts. | ||
| She has to. | ||
| We're going to get rid of all taxes and give you from the government coffers. | ||
| And then Trump is just like, we're going to completely dismantle government. | ||
| Everyone's fired. | ||
| And then I vacate the presidency. | ||
| There's no politicians left. | ||
| I mean, she's literally like, no taxes and he's Hitler. | ||
| And then next week he's Mussolini too. | ||
| But what's funny is the direction they're going is basically they are competing with dismantling government. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yes. | ||
| This is a win-win for the American population. | ||
| The libertarians are doing the Randy Marsh meme at the computer. | ||
| I think Angela McArdle is secretly orchestrating everything that's going on. | ||
| I mean, he's going to put a libertarian in the cabinet somewhere, which would be wonderful. | ||
| The idea that he wants to get rid of the bureaucracy, that he's going to cut back, and the bureaucracy is great. | ||
| If you could actually get significant real cuts in cabinet-level bureaucracies, that would be tremendous. | ||
| I mean, I'm a big cut. | ||
| I want small government. | ||
| I want as small as we can get it. | ||
| So if they're going to cut cabinet-level bureaucracies down to size and roll back the administrative state—and that's one of the things that Elon Musk is talking about because part of the problem that— SpaceX is running into. | ||
| It's like they had to do... | ||
| Did you see the seal thing they had to do? | ||
| Oh yeah, they had to like kidnap seals and blast loud noises on them. | ||
| They had to kidnap seals and put earphones on them and simulate sonic booms to see if it would affect them. | ||
| So that way they could get the approval from the FAA to shoot rockets. | ||
| The best part is it did not affect the seal and apparently the seal just sat there confused and its heart rate did not elevate or anything. | ||
| It was just like nothing happened. | ||
| But one of the things that Musk has been saying is like, look, we're never going to be a society or a civilization that can reach Mars if we have to have all of these regulations. | ||
| One of the things that Musk has caught hell for is that people used to make fun of him because all his rockets would explode. | ||
| But he was going on five different iterations of the rockets, and he would learn from each one that blew up. | ||
| So the first few of them would blow up, but then the third one would go, and then it would have a small problem, but it wouldn't be a rud, right? | ||
| Now he's catching them with the chopsticks. | ||
| Yeah, and the point is, like, Boeing has done almost nothing to talk about. | ||
| They're so slow, and that's because they're not taking big risks, and they're not pushing the way that Musk is. | ||
| One of the things that Musk wants is he's like, look, I need the federal government to take the shackles off. | ||
| So I can experiment and I can push the technology as far and as fast as it can. | ||
| And I personally think that part of the reason why you had massive innovation in the United States leading up until about the 70s, right? | ||
| We had significant innovation from basically the beginning of the Industrial Revolution until about the 70s or 80s is because the administrative state and the bureaucracy and the regulations were significantly less than they are now and people were allowed to try things in I'm just thinking how funny it is that there's like some alien and he's complaining to his customers like, look, the government is making me abduct these guys and stick probes with their ass. | ||
| We don't want to do it, but they make us do it to simulate anti-gravity. | ||
| And then we're doing it to the SEALs. | ||
| It's basically the same stuff. | ||
| I'm thinking about them. | ||
| Like you're a SEAL minding your own business with your homies and then like a crane grabs you out of the water and you're like... | ||
| What's happening? | ||
| Headphones. | ||
| And when you come back, like, nobody believes you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| Like, they made me listen to just loud noises. | ||
| I don't really get it. | ||
| The income tax thing, though, too, is, you know, the debt, like, constantly increasing and the cost to service it. | ||
| Like, the taxes can't go any higher, right? | ||
| Well, yeah, they can. | ||
| You think they can go much above 50%? | ||
| There are people... | ||
| Well, first of all, they're basically above... | ||
| But I'm saying, do you think there's really that much margin? | ||
| There was a time between the 50s and the 80s when the top marginal tax rate was like 90%. | ||
| Nobody paid it. | ||
| There was tons of ways for you to get around it, and that's what ends up happening. | ||
| But the Laffer curve says that there's a certain amount of taxation that you can do, and everything before that you get diminished returns. | ||
| And don't forget... | ||
| You're Canadian. | ||
| What's your income tax in Canada? | ||
| I mean, in Ontario, it was about the same as what I pay in New York City, which is close to... | ||
| Half? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So don't forget, you've also got sales tax. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| So now, add another percentage to everything you buy. | ||
| It says $1.10 now. | ||
| Then you've got property taxes. | ||
| Then you've got gas taxes. | ||
| So all in all, you're probably spending 60-70% of your income in taxes. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah. | |
| I mean, it's crazy. | ||
| But I'm just saying, like, eventually they're going to get to the point where the income tax is just going to cover the debt. | ||
| Like, the debt repayment. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| The interest. | ||
| Just the interest. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Oh, dude. | ||
| We're facing collapse because the U.S. government is barely able to cover the interest on the debt they owe. | ||
| So the U.S. government basically makes... | ||
| Most of the debt is owed to the American people. | ||
| The U.S. government says, we need to implement a project, so we're going to accrue a bunch of debt from various companies, individuals, contracts, bonds, etc. | ||
| And then they have to tax everybody to try and pay it back after. | ||
| They're basically just saying, I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today. | ||
| And eventually it's like, bro, your debt sheet is like 50 hamburgers. | ||
| And it's like, just need more people to come in that I can tax a hamburger from to pay you back. | ||
| I mean, it's crazy. | ||
| So they open the border, let everybody come in so they can desperately increase the tax base. | ||
| Yeah, and lower wages, I guess. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It seems to go up, what? | ||
| It's like a trillion dollars a month or something right now? | ||
| Right now, the debt is increasing a trillion dollars a year. | ||
| A trillion dollars a year. | ||
| But it's going up. | ||
| It's increasing faster. | ||
| Insane. | ||
| Well, it'll be fun to see how this escalation continues. | ||
| Hopefully, Kamala Harris comes out and vows to abolish all taxes and to give us money back. | ||
| Yeah, that's right, your girl. | ||
| But let's jump to the story from the Washington Post. | ||
| It was frustrating to watch three columnists on Harris's CNN town hall. | ||
| Harris's town hall gave her a last minute chance to reach undecided voters. | ||
| How did she do? | ||
| Well, it's the Betteridge's laws of headline states that if a headline ends the question, the answer is usually no. | ||
| But if the question is, how did she do? | ||
| The assumption would be the negative poorly because they wouldn't need to ask if they have reason to believe she did well. | ||
| We'll jump back to this, but I need to only show you this one segment that was posted by Dave Portnoy, so you can understand exactly how Kamala Harris did. | ||
| I'm sorry that you have to listen to this, but knowing is half the battle. | ||
|

|
Is there something you can point to in your life, political life or in your life in the last four years, that you think is a mistake that you have learned from? | |
| I mean, I've made many mistakes. | ||
| They range from, you know, if you've ever parented a child, you know you make lots of mistakes, too. | ||
| In my role as vice president, I mean, I've probably worked very hard at making sure that I am well-versed on issues, and I think that is very important. | ||
| It's a mistake not to be well-versed on an issue and feel compelled to answer a question. | ||
| So, I want to just... | ||
| Actually, I want to... | ||
| Okay, so you're probably thinking... | ||
| The first thing you thought was probably... | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Well, it's one of those trap interview questions. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| When you go, like, what are your weaknesses? | ||
| You're like, if anything, I work too hard. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, actually, the Trump campaign posted the Michael Scott thing where he's like, my weaknesses are actually strengths. | ||
| Some say I work too hard. | ||
| But notice what she did. | ||
| I actually want to give her credit for this. | ||
| Listen to this last portion. | ||
| And I think that is very important. | ||
| It's a mistake not to be well-versed on an issue and feel compelled to answer a question. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mm-hmm. | |
| You see what she did there? | ||
| He asks her a question she can't answer. | ||
| She stumbles through it for 30 seconds and then realizes, as she can't answer it, it's a mistake she did not prepare for this question. | ||
| And then literally says to her at the end, it is a mistake to not prepare for a question and be forced to be compelled to answer. | ||
| And how can you not name one mistake you made, Afghanistan? | ||
| Hello? | ||
| Name one mistake you've made right now, Danny. | ||
| Um... | ||
| I don't make mistakes. | ||
| You bought the shirt. | ||
| No, this is the best $20 I ever spent. | ||
| Washington, D.C. train station. | ||
| Upstairs kiosk. | ||
| Body language experts love criticizing this woman. | ||
| When she starts to answer the question, she's like, yeah, I made a, yeah. | ||
| And she's shaking her head, no, no, no. | ||
| But she's saying yes. | ||
| That's how she starts it. | ||
| She's just like a two-faced kind of. | ||
| That was a really great example of her literally saying nothing but words were coming out of her mouth. | ||
| Now listen to this one. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Regarding the rapid increase in the migrant population, how will you ensure that every immigrant is integrated into American society safely? | |
| What benefits and subsidies will you provide them with, and how long will these benefits and subsidies last for an individual? | ||
| Most importantly, will the American citizens' taxes pay for these benefits and subsidies? | ||
| And if so, how much money will be allocated? | ||
| Okay, I'm going to pause real quick just to say his question was five parts. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| It's pretty hefty. | ||
| But how many are being let in? | ||
| Are they going to receive benefits? | ||
| What are those benefits? | ||
| Who's going to pay for them? | ||
| Are they going to be assimilated? | ||
| Now listen to this answer. | ||
| Well, thank you, Jackson. | ||
| Let's start with this. | ||
| America's immigration system is broken and it needs to be fixed. | ||
| And it's been broken for a long time. | ||
| And part of what we need to do is always prioritize what we need to do to strengthen our border. | ||
| I will tell you I'm the only person in this race among the two choices that voters have. | ||
| I've personally prosecuted transnational criminal organizations. | ||
| In the trafficking of guns, drugs, and human beings. | ||
| I have spent a significant part of my career making sure that our border is secure and that we do not allow criminals in and we don't allow that kind of trafficking to happen and come into our country. | ||
| And as my opponent, I love this. | ||
| I do want to highlight one quick thing in the beginning real quick. | ||
| Just one more time. | ||
| America's immigration system is broken and it needs to be fixed. | ||
| And it's been broken for a long time. | ||
| And part of what we need to do is always prioritize what we need to do to strengthen our border. | ||
| What we need to do is to always prioritize what we need to do. | ||
| Did you hear that? | ||
| What we need to do is to always prioritize what we need to do to strengthen our border. | ||
| Which would be, lady... | ||
| Okay, okay, Danny. | ||
| I'm gonna break this down for the layman. | ||
| Ask me a tough question. | ||
| What are you going to do with the spiraling national debt? | ||
| I like Yerba Mate. | ||
| It's a delicious drink. | ||
| That right there looks like you have orange exuberance. | ||
| It's delicious, isn't it? | ||
| It's almost like an ecto-cooler, but with more caffeine. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Okay, yeah. | ||
| I feel bad. | ||
| Look at this kid's face. | ||
| Hey, pull this kid's face up again. | ||
| That face is exactly how I feel when I hear her words coming out of her mouth while she's not saying anything. | ||
| Yeah, she answers questions like when you get in trouble by your girl and you're trying to be just the most evasive, just... | ||
| She gives the weave. | ||
| Trump says he does the weave. | ||
| She's doing the real weave. | ||
| This face is so good. | ||
| You know what he's thinking, too. | ||
| It's like she's literally not answering any question that I have. | ||
| He's like, why am I here? | ||
| Why did I come here? | ||
| So this is the state of the Democrats. | ||
| And look at this. | ||
| Washington Post. | ||
| The Kennett's closing argument is a cliché, blah, blah, blah. | ||
| Matt Bye says, we've seen plenty of strange firsts in this campaign, but I was still struck at hearing a nominee for president call her opponent a fascist, an actual fascist. | ||
| And in the first three minutes of a town hall, I think I would summarize Kamala Harris' closing argument from the night as, you really need to vote for anybody but Donald Trump and I'm anybody, right? | ||
| Do we think that argument landed? | ||
| This next guy, he says, yeah, she tried to paint Trump as an extreme and dangerous all night. | ||
| Besides calling Trump a fascist, Harris repeated the line that Trump allegedly called fallen soldiers suckers and losers. | ||
| The Atlantic reported that back in September 2020, blah, blah, blah. | ||
| We want to say, Matt, this is almost as if Trump was an incumbent. | ||
| We're an incumbent, isn't it? | ||
| She's trying very hard to make the whole campaign a referendum on him and his fitness, which might be her best argument, but as you point out, Jim, it's not as if voters haven't factored in that point. | ||
| I was on Adam Carolla's show, and maybe he wants to wait for his show to come out, but he did say something great. | ||
| He said, Kamala Harris' campaign is basically, who are you going to vote for, the fascist or potato, because I'm the potato. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| I mean, it's like the South Park, though. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Turd sandwich. | ||
| Well, I mean, but, you know, Trump, she's just saying he's bad. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| It's like Trump is anchovy pizza. | ||
| Some people don't like it, but it's still pizza and it's still food and you can eat it. | ||
| He's not perfect, man, but if they really wanted to beat Trump, the Democratic Party, they should have had a Democratic convention and let the people select the best candidates. | ||
| We're past that, I think. | ||
| Now she's, I mean, they have 12 days. | ||
| She's just like, he's Hitler. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I don't know. | ||
| It's like, I don't care. | ||
| Don't vote for me, but then you're voting for Hitler. | ||
| You have your options. | ||
| Literally what they're doing. | ||
| It would have been funny. | ||
| I call that the Kang and Kodos. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Remember Treehouse of Horror when they're like, what are you going to do? | ||
| It's a two-party system. | ||
| You have to vote for one of us. | ||
| That's basically what she's going on. | ||
| And then it's funny because Trump is just like... | ||
| I'll deregulate the energy sector so that prices for transportation come down and your food prices come down with it. | ||
| And you're like, okay, that sounds reasonable. | ||
| What say you, Kamala? | ||
| And she's like, well, I'm a potato, but at least I'm not a fascist. | ||
| And you're like, huh. | ||
| Well, that may work on some people, but most people I'd say no. | ||
| No. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| I mean, she has no really good policy stuff. | ||
| I mean, she comes out with some new things here or there, but he seems to be winning on that front. | ||
| The only thing she really has that could potentially win her this entire thing is just the abortion thing. | ||
| She's 100% guarantee or betting on abortion. | ||
| And the thing is- It works, though. | ||
| Well, it does, but most of the women that are actually really up in arms about it can't have kids anymore. | ||
| That doesn't matter. | ||
| Yes, that is quite funny and ironic. | ||
| Yes, but that doesn't matter. | ||
| The vast majority of them are like women that have gone through menopause like a decade ago. | ||
| But they have kids. | ||
| And they're just like, man, my granddaughter really needs to be able to kill my great-granddaughter. | ||
| One of the things in her weird answer was, you know, if you've raised kids, you know how you make mistakes. | ||
| She doesn't have kids. | ||
| Why did she bring that up? | ||
| She has adult stepchildren. | ||
| She's like trying to appeal to people with kids. | ||
| You know what's crazy is that she's not even good at vamping. | ||
| No. | ||
| You know, like, if someone was like, hey, buy me time, I'd just start telling a story. | ||
| You know, are there any mistakes in your life that you think you've learned from? | ||
| Like, oh, let me tell you a story back when I was a kid, right? | ||
| So I used to work, and I'd just pick any story of my life and try and just stretch. | ||
| But she's going, well, you know, I, from a range of, if you're a parent... | ||
| And as vice president, and you know, I like to research, and it's a mistake not to. | ||
| I mean, I would almost... | ||
| That was almost a sentence. | ||
| She started to almost say some mistakes, and then her ego took over, and she wouldn't allow for the humility, and she's like, I mean, 20 seconds before she – or 10 seconds before she rapped, you could see just her ego was like, don't admit any weakness. | ||
| Don't admit weakness. | ||
| They won't vote for you. | ||
| She does go on to say, well, one weakness, and some would say it's a strength, is that I'm surrounded by very smart people. | ||
| And I have very smart people on me. | ||
| And that's where – let me pull up the Trump war room post where they compare with Michael Scott because I don't do it justice. | ||
| I wonder if... | ||
| Who owns the office anyway? | ||
| Are they going to come after us? | ||
| Someone powerful. | ||
| Someone powerful indeed. | ||
| Mickey Gervais is cool though, but I don't... | ||
| Alright, here we go. | ||
| Here's the clip. | ||
| Perhaps a weakness, some would say, but I actually think it's a strength. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, my weaknesses are actually strengths. | |
| Oh! | ||
| Yes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Very good. | |
| There you go. | ||
| Very good. | ||
| I really do value having a team of very smart people around me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I work too hard, I care too much, and sometimes I can be too invested in my job. | |
| Perhaps a weakness, some would say, but I actually... | ||
| Yeah, that face! | ||
| That face, too! | ||
| What is she doing? | ||
| I don't know, but this deserves to be screenshot and retweeted. | ||
| That face is also a face I would say exemplifies the CNN town hall. | ||
| The pain she was feeling, thinking about what she was saying. | ||
| You know they're making her do it. | ||
| Like, when you give answers like that, you're like, I do not want to be here. | ||
| She got put there. | ||
| They're like, you're the only face we got right now. | ||
| She's like, Joe Biden last time around, he just got to sit in his basement. | ||
| Why can't I sit in my basement? | ||
| Why do I have to go do all this stuff? | ||
| China, why don't you go ahead and help me out, too? | ||
| It's not like she could have said no. | ||
| I mean, she's probably like, if I say no to this, it would be the biggest mistake I ever made in my life. | ||
| I mean, you're not saying no. | ||
| Yeah, in those positions, they're like, we need you to run for president. | ||
| You know, like, well, all the money's behind me. | ||
| The whole thing's already done for me. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I mean, it just goes to show how bad of a candidate she is where she's running. | ||
| She's not smoking Trump. | ||
| Let's jump to this clip from CNN. I wonder, all of you gentlemen, how do you think CNN thought she did? | ||
| I think everybody knows. | ||
| They weren't too pleased. | ||
| It's kind of shocking to me right now to say this, but Washington Post criticizing Kamala Harris and CNN criticizing Kamala Harris suggests that she is doing so miserably that they can't even pretend like they have desperately tried to. | ||
| Like with Biden. | ||
| They pretended until the debate when they couldn't and they were like, but let's play the clip. | ||
|
unidentified
|
When she doesn't want to answer a question, her habit is to kind of go to word salad city. | |
| And she did that on a couple of answers. | ||
| One was on Israel. | ||
| Anderson asked a direct question, would you be stronger on Israel than Trump? | ||
| And there was a seven minute answer, but none of it related to the question he was asking. | ||
| She doesn't have to be flawless. | ||
| But she has to give you something. | ||
| I mean, she's like a true double threat. | ||
| You know, she's terrible on her feet when she gets unexpected questions. | ||
| And simultaneously, she can't even answer the expected questions. | ||
| It's nothing, nothing, nothing. | ||
| You'd think she'd be prepared to do this by now. | ||
| You know, what's a mistake you've made? | ||
| Nothing. | ||
| What's a weakness you have? | ||
| Nothing. | ||
| What's the first law you want to pass? | ||
| Nothing. | ||
| What's a policy difference between you and Joe Biden? | ||
| Nothing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh! | |
| Look, even Axelrod was starting to laugh. | ||
| Duck-build platitude. | ||
| Focused a lot more on Donald Trump, I think it's fair to say, than she did on many specifics in terms of what she would do as president, but she did go into some of her plans for small businesses. | ||
| Well, I'll just tell you what I'm hearing from people who I've been talking to, and that is that if her goal was to close the deal, They're not sure she did that. | ||
| And, you know, some people have asked, is she being held to a different standard? | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| But that's maybe the world that she's living in. | ||
| And on the question of who she is, people are understanding that a little bit more. | ||
| But what she will do, the question about her legislative priorities, name one. | ||
| There wasn't one. | ||
| I think that the word salad stuff gets on my nerves. | ||
| I think that some of the evasions are not necessary. | ||
| But when she's talking about trying to get you a house, I believe her. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Kamala Harris participated in a one-person debate last night, and she lost. | |
| And she provided very circular answers. | ||
| My colleagues Van Jones and David Axelrod and others noted that she provided word salad answers. | ||
| Anderson asked her specifically direct questions and she didn't provide an answer to them. | ||
| Anderson asked the best question all night. | ||
| Why didn't you do this four years ago? | ||
| Why haven't you been doing this? | ||
| Ten-minute answer didn't answer the question. | ||
| So what she did last night, I don't think helped her cause at all. | ||
| I think people were looking for, you know, you heard the one woman, how are you going to make my life better? | ||
| That wasn't provided. | ||
| Donald Trump bad is not going to get you to the White House. | ||
| I hate to break it to her. | ||
| I absolutely love when he said, Kamala Harris participated in a one-person debate and she lost. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Yeah, that was a good one. | ||
| And you know what I would love so much more? | ||
| He says that woman asks, how would you make my life better? | ||
| And she doesn't give an answer. | ||
| I would respect Kamala so much more if she just went, I'm not. | ||
| What do you think goes on in this country? | ||
| There won't be any mean tweets. | ||
| Yeah, right. | ||
| Look. | ||
| Lady, I'm a potato. | ||
| I'm going to sit around and do nothing. | ||
| Trump's Hitler. | ||
| I mean, that's honestly the only real benefit I could find of her being president is just the amount that you have to pay attention to politics goes down a bit. | ||
| No, it'll go with her. | ||
| You think so? | ||
| With Kamala, it'll go up ten tenfold. | ||
| It's more like when Trump was president. | ||
| It's just like... | ||
| That's the media doing that to you. | ||
| I understand that, but they're going to continue doing that. | ||
| So the question is, if it were true that voting for Kamala would make the politics go away, how come it's only gotten 10 times worse under Joe Biden? | ||
| And the reality is Biden-Harris policies have caused serious political tumult to the point where it's not about Donald Trump anymore. | ||
| It's about why food prices are through the roof, why immigrants are sleeping in schools, why people can't afford homes anymore, why Gen Z is living in cardboard boxes while illegal immigrants are getting hotel rooms. | ||
| And so now you're glued to the TV with everyone shrieking in your ears because you can't afford to eat. | ||
| But illegal immigrants got a PlayStation 5 in his hotel room in New York City. | ||
| Danny, and also Not even kidding. | ||
| One other thing you need to think about is when people talk about J.D. Vance, they're already saying that he's worse than Trump. | ||
| This isn't going to change. | ||
| As long as it's a Republican, this is the modus operandi. | ||
| This is the norm now. | ||
| If you're talking about Republicans, all of them are Hitler, and the Democrats are going to behave as if... | ||
| Whatever Republican is in office or whatever Republican is being brought out, they're going to behave as if they're the worst. | ||
| I mean, that's all they got right now. | ||
| So the idea that Trump, this isn't unique to Trump. | ||
| Trump is a symptom of what's going on. | ||
| Trump is not a cause. | ||
| There's so many people out there that think, oh, without Trump, then things will be fine. | ||
| Or when Trump's gone, things will be fine. | ||
| I mean, secretly, CNN's gotta want him to win, as much as they can't say it, for their business. | ||
| They're looking at their ratings being like, you guys remember the glory days? | ||
| You know, back, they were like, hey man, look, six, seven years ago, we were getting a million, three million. | ||
| Cable TV was back, baby. | ||
| We need Donald Trump. | ||
| Like, they are all gonna get a boat as long as they can get Donald Trump and a new airborne virus, and they are just printing money. | ||
| That sounds like a good bit you guys could do, where it's like, Trump wins and then it's like CNN, like it's in a CNN office. | ||
| The guy runs in and he goes, Trump has won! | ||
| And then it's just one year later and they're all on boats. | ||
| Get me Wuhan on the phone. | ||
| Let's crank this up. | ||
| Ratings through the roof. | ||
| So hey man, I kind of feel like, I'm hearing this rumor, I don't know if it's true, that Kamala denied Joe Rogan's request, like she's refusing to go on the podcast. | ||
| I haven't seen any official sourcing on it. | ||
| I just saw someone tweeting it, and I'm like, I don't know if that's true. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| She can't do three hours. | ||
| Oh, dude. | ||
| Joe would kick her out. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| You look at that town hall, I tell you what. | ||
| Joe Rogan would be sitting there, and he'd be like, so what do you think... | ||
| You know, cause like the problems we're seeing right now, because I know I got friends who are going to the grocery store and they're talking about whipped cream being six dollars. | ||
| And then when she just patters again, well, I'm glad, Joe, you brought up groceries because people need groceries. | ||
| And I'll tell you what we got to do. | ||
| What we got to do is what we've always had to do, and that is focus on things that we need, like focusing on groceries, which I think is and Joe's going to be like, get out. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, I don't I'm curious if Trump because Trump's pretty much only done, I believe, An hour, except for I think one podcast he went 90 minutes on. | ||
| But I wonder if he's going to go do some real long, like, two and a half hour traditional Roman episode. | ||
| I imagine the first, I wonder if the first thing Joe asks is going to be like, are there UFOs? | ||
| That'll come up 100%. | ||
| Oh, for sure. | ||
| Because I think Theo Vaughn asked him that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, so I think that'll come up. | ||
| But I just, she can't really talk. | ||
| She can't just chop it up for two hours. | ||
| It is kind of weird that, you know, I'm just going to say, even Ian can go on a rant about graphene if he needs to buy time. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Like, if something comes up, Ian will talk about the crown or graphene. | ||
| Like, is there nothing Kamala Harris cares about that she could use for vamp? | ||
| I'm honest, so I don't need to hide and think about what I'm going to say next, which helps me flow. | ||
| I can go into stream, stay for an hour straight. | ||
| I can keep talking. | ||
| I'm built to do this. | ||
| That's it right there. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| As long as you're honest, it doesn't matter what you say. | ||
| Because if someone said, what are some of your mistakes? | ||
| If Ian didn't have an answer, he'd say, oh, I don't know. | ||
| I'd probably have to think about it. | ||
| I've never really thought about it. | ||
| She can't show that weakness. | ||
| She'd immediately say, I don't like Joe Biden. | ||
| If she was being honest, she'd be like, I didn't like working with the guy. | ||
| I can't stand him. | ||
| He wasn't fit to be president. | ||
| It would be so based, and I'd actually respect her a lot more if she was like, you know, Anderson's like, what are some of your weaknesses? | ||
| And she goes, well, I'm not really good at this, am I? I have no idea how to answer these questions. | ||
| It's not something I've ever been prepared for. | ||
| She'd have so many more voters if she had it like that. | ||
| She could just be normal. | ||
| Right? | ||
| That's the thing is, Trump is at least, whether you like him or hate him, he's just, that is who he is. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| She cannot be who she is. | ||
| Like, she cannot find that in her. | ||
| It would have been, and he said personal life too, so she couldn't be like, ugh, I used to put too much salt when I was making my casserole. | ||
| And I know it's, you know, but when I would serve it to people, they'd be nice and it would be disgusting. | ||
| And I learned a lesson that sometimes people aren't telling you the truth because they don't want to hurt your feelings, but that could lead to bad policy. | ||
| Come on, you've never made a bad meal that someone lied to you and said was good? | ||
| Sure. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| She could have said anything. | ||
| She could have said, I used to wear my shoes in the house, and then I realized I was just trailing mud, but that was doo-doo. | ||
| And then, you know, if you have kids, come in. | ||
| And so these are the mistakes. | ||
| She couldn't come up with literally, he said, personal life. | ||
| You can make something up. | ||
| I don't do my dishes. | ||
| Don't you remember drinking the beer on Colbert? | ||
| She should have said that. | ||
| You're like, you don't drink beer. | ||
| You don't drink beer ever. | ||
| You drink wine. | ||
| You don't drink beer. | ||
| As soon as I saw her crack that beer, I was like, she's acting as though she's never had a beer in her life. | ||
| She probably doesn't drink beer. | ||
| It was just as bad as when Pocahontas did it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| She was like, I'm having a beer. | ||
| And then didn't, like, her husband come in and slap her ass on camera? | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Elizabeth Warren was in the kitchen being like, I'm gonna have a beer here. | ||
| And then her husband walked up and was like, what are you doing? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Whack. | |
| Did he really? | ||
| I'm pretty sure she had, like, 400 containers of ice cream in her fridge. | ||
| No, that was Nancy Pelosi. | ||
| Oh, that was Nancy Pelosi. | ||
| Yeah, I'm pretty sure Elizabeth Warren... | ||
| Let me fact test this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Do you guys remember when she didn't have her teleprompter on and she literally couldn't speak at all? | |
| Yeah, because she's like a bot. | ||
| She's just like a program. | ||
| I would never recommend this to anybody, but she needs to take some improv classes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Kamala. | |
| Like, Kamala. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| Like, I would, if anybody ever is, like, a normal person, should I do improv? | ||
| I'm like, absolutely not. | ||
| Please do not do that. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| But for her, she could use some... | ||
| She needs to, like, yes and. | ||
| I feel like that's telling someone not to practice. | ||
| I'm not a comedian. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I'm not an actor. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| That's why I'm deferring to you. | ||
| The world does not need any more improvisers is what I'm getting at. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| We don't need any more. | ||
| We're full. | ||
| I backed that. | ||
| Right? | ||
| But she could use some classes. | ||
| Yeah, man. | ||
| She needs to get loose. | ||
| I want Michael Scott. | ||
| Michael Scott took improv classes, didn't he? | ||
| Remember with the gun? | ||
| The character, Michael Scott. | ||
| Michael Scott in the office, remember? | ||
| Because they keep comparing it to him. | ||
| And he had the thing, remember, where he always had a gun? | ||
| Where he was wearing the do-rag for a while? | ||
| No, I don't know. | ||
| He would improv, and then he would always have a gun, and he goes, he's got a gun. | ||
| I'm just going to show the video, and then you can decide for yourself, because every story about this has been scrubbed. | ||
| But there's still the video of it. | ||
| And so here you go. | ||

...who's joining this video. | |
| It's great to hear from you. | ||

Hold on a sec. | |
| I'm going to get me, um, a beer. | ||
| You don't talk like that. | ||
| You don't say, I'm going to get me a beer. | ||
| I'm going to get me a beer. | ||
| And she could have grabbed it before going live. | ||

Hey, my husband Bruce is now in here. | |

No, I'll pass on a beer for now. | |

| You saw that, right? | ||

Yeah. | |
| That's like a normal interaction. | ||

unidentified

It is. | |
| When he slapped her ass. | ||
|
unidentified

Yeah, yeah. | |
| That was like the controversy, but it's like, it's a husband and wife. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's like, Denny's like, it's totally fine. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's fine. | |
| But it was a controversy. | ||
| Show that you're a person. | ||
| It does. | ||
| I suppose, indeed. | ||
| But she is certainly not. | ||
| She was acting very robotic, and she, I'm gonna get me a beer. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And then she, would you like a beer? | ||
| Engage, beer sequence. | ||
| Mm-hmm. | ||
| Also, shout out to Colin Rugg for that clip. | ||
|
unidentified

She doesn't want to answer it. | |
| This is a great one. | ||
| On CNN, breaking it down. | ||
| Word salad. | ||
| Like the CNN, everybody that works there is like, look, we're taking care of ourselves first on this one. | ||
| They served as the lapdog for the... | ||
| Didn't you see what they did to Don Lemon and Chris Cuomo? | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| What does that say? | ||
| What does it say, Ian? | ||
| Harris at.2 nationally. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, this is a statistical tie. | ||
| .2 is meaningless. | ||
| How did she make up three points in a week? | ||
| In the last week? | ||
| No, no, she's lost. | ||
| Trump's been skyrocketing. | ||
| Nationally. | ||
| So take a look at this. | ||
| Morning Consult, as of the 18th to the 20th, had Harris up four. | ||
| Oh, gotcha. | ||
| Rasmussen has Trump up three. | ||
| Oh, that's for all of them. | ||
| Rasmussen is more right-leaning than many believe. | ||
| So let's go look at Forbes, Harris X, not right-leaning. | ||
| They say from the 20th to the 21st, after the Morning Consult, Trump is up two. | ||
| Then you've got CNBC, which was published later, but tracked before the 20th, Trump up two. | ||
| And now you have the Wall Street Journal showing Trump is up three. | ||
| Right now, it is a statistical tie. | ||
| And this time in 2020, Biden was up 8.1. | ||
| What did Biden end up winning by? | ||
| Like five or something? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Three or something? | |
| I don't know. | ||
| Was it three? | ||
| So I got to say right now, the battlegrounds, Donald Trump is winning all of them. | ||
| Every single one in aggregate. | ||
| I don't know if the polls matter all that much to be completely honest, but let me just say, if they're indicative of anything, the narrative right now is that Kamala Harris should not be able to win. | ||
| It would be nice. | ||
| Yeah, I wouldn't bet on any of that. | ||
| We'll see. | ||
| You think there's a chance for old Kamala? | ||
| Do I think there's a chance? | ||
| Oh, I definitely think there's a chance. | ||
| I mean, if I had to pick, I would pick Trump, but I would not be surprised. | ||
| And I'm not even going to... | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Not even going to talk about electronic voting machines putting tallies in the background without us being able to inspect the code. | ||
| No. | ||
| What do you think happens with polls showing Trump is winning across the board and the betting market showing he's winning and then some weird thing happens? | ||
| So look, you go back to 2020 and they were all saying, oh, Trump won, it was rigged and all that stuff. | ||
| But Biden still had the polls. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then everyone saw the mail-in ballots come in after Election Day giving Biden the win. | ||
| It's kind of crazy. | ||
| Trump wins on Election Day. | ||
| I believe he even declared victory and said, that's it. | ||
| Like, look, Election Day is over. | ||
| You can check what's been counted. | ||
| I've won. | ||
| And then Biden votes popped up at the last minute a day or two later. | ||
| Like, oh, actually, these ballots weren't counted yet. | ||
| So Republicans are like, how are you counting ballots after Election Day? | ||
| But Democrats are like, you know what? | ||
| We win. | ||
| There's still some plausible deniability in that Biden was up eight points in the polls. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Now, Kamala is statistically tied with Trump and losing the battlegrounds. | ||
| And the betting markets. | ||
| And if she ends up winning with some weird shenanigans, people are going to be like, nah, not this time. | ||
| Yeah, they need to get the votes in and tallied as soon as possible, day of. | ||
| I mean, honestly, if you can do that, day of. | ||
| But like... | ||
| I don't think that the electronic voting machine network is tight enough to calculate in one afternoon how many votes they need to flip a vote in one way or the other. | ||
| I don't think it's there yet. | ||
| I'm not sure, but it doesn't seem like it. | ||
| I think that's why they would need days. | ||
| I understand. | ||
| Every four years they have this, like Chris was saying, Maricopa County or whatever in Arizona, they're saying it's going to take them... | ||
| Thirteen days. | ||
| What is that all about? | ||
| They've had four years to figure this out, and they had four years since the last one. | ||
| No, they took four years, they figured it out, and they figured the best way to secure the results they want is to give themselves two weeks after election day to decide who won. | ||
| That's crazy! | ||
| Yeah, and it's a constitutional crisis. | ||
| Why is, where's the legislature? | ||
| Like, what is the actual, like, if you put Elon Musk in charge of this, what would he do to be like, do you hire more people? | ||
| Is that all it is? | ||
| You open source the code and let the community fix the system. | ||
| Do you just need more people working at the polls? | ||
| I think it's simple. | ||
| The Constitution says we have one election day, and any ballot after midnight is on the garbage sheet. | ||
| If you do mail-in ballots, you do them beforehand. | ||
| Anything that comes in after election day at midnight is not counted. | ||
| You missed your opportunity. | ||
| They should all be paper ballots. | ||
| There shouldn't be any computerization of it at all because paper ballots can be counted and they're physical things. | ||
| I know you talk about opening the code and stuff, but as long as there is the ability to change it Even after the fact or whatever in a computer. | ||
| If you do that, it can be changed. | ||
| Regular. | ||
| Write them in. | ||
| Not the whole punching things like the Chads that they had in 2000 with George Bush. | ||
| Regular paper ballots. | ||
| You should have to have an ID. It would be best if there was no absentee voting at all. | ||
| It's like get to the poll on the day that it's supposed to be there. | ||
| Sure, make it a federal holiday so people can have the day off. | ||
| I don't have any problem. | ||
| That would be a good idea. | ||
| They don't want to do that. | ||
| No, they don't. | ||
| Well, they don't want IDs either. | ||
| 85% of the American population think that you should have to show an ID to vote. | ||
| Seems reasonable. | ||
| 85%. | ||
| And the government will never do it because the Democrats will never be on board because the Democrats know that if you have to show an ID, then they won't be able to get people that are not citizens to vote. | ||
| That is God's only reason. | ||
| I mean, that's how I'm voting. | ||
| It's so busted. | ||
| That's how I'm voting. | ||
| That's a joke, guys. | ||
| That's a joke. | ||
| I don't hate paper ballots, and I think we should still use them as backup to a machine if we're going to use the machine, but it relies on you handing them off to someone that's going to hand them off to someone, and you've got to trust a chain of humans, which can be easily corrupted and toss them aside easily. | ||
| Yeah, but you don't know which... | ||
| The thing is, they don't know who they're throwing out, right? | ||
| You're just throwing out sealed envelopes. | ||
| You don't know if those are the votes you want to throw out. | ||
| Look, if you're talking about a human point of failure, whoever writes the code is going to be able to go... | ||
| It will be a point of failure. | ||
| Again, you continue to say, free up the code, but most people can't read code. | ||
| Oh, but there's enough people that could inspect the code to see if it's able to flip votes. | ||
| The machine shouldn't be able to flip the votes. | ||
| I mean, why not? | ||
| Because that's not what they're built to do. | ||
| They're built to give you the vote that they received. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, obviously there could be maybe a blockchain solution way down the line. | ||
| Maybe there's some kind of blockchain solution. | ||
| Yeah, can you, for the votes, if they're postmarked, is that how it works? | ||
| They just have to be postmarked by midnight? | ||
| Well, I think that it should be... | ||
| Is that the current rule, though? | ||
| I don't know for sure. | ||
| You can have it postmarked after November 5th and still can't? | ||
| I think Tim had tweeted one that was like they had up to the 12th to get it in or something like that. | ||
| But it shouldn't be. | ||
| It should just be, look, go there the day of. | ||
| And if you can't go there the day of, you don't get to vote. | ||
| I mean, if anything, just do that for all the people who are watching who are like, I want to know who's going to win. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It shouldn't be that hard. | ||
| It should not be this complex. | ||
| It should be show up, show your ID, and vote. | ||
| And if you can't, too bad. | ||
| It's not a situation where voting is not such a... | ||
| As much as they want, the government tries to make it sound like this sacred, important thing that everybody's... | ||
| If you don't get to vote, it's some massive violation of your civil liberties. | ||
| That's not true at all. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Should it be a holiday then? | |
| It should be. | ||
| I don't have a problem with that. | ||
| Make it a holiday. | ||
| That's fine. | ||
| Make it a nationwide federal holiday. | ||
| Everybody gets the day off. | ||
| Everything's closed. | ||
| You don't get to go to... | ||
| Maybe get rid of Columbus Day and swap it with... | ||
| The Italians aren't going to like that. | ||
| They already got rid of Columbus Day with the whole indigenous people. | ||
| But make it a holiday and be like, that's it. | ||
| One day, go vote. | ||
| I love that you mentioned blockchain. | ||
| Oh, did you? | ||
| You could punch the ballot, put it in the machine which reads it, puts it on a blockchain, puts it on like six or nine different blockchains, so if someone does get a hold of one of those, they're not going to get a hold of the other eight. | ||
| And then there you go. | ||
| You can reference it online with a barcode that no one else has access to. | ||
| There's for sure a way that it could be done, obviously. | ||
| What's the argument against public ballots? | ||
| Well, you don't want to know. | ||
| Lynchings. | ||
| People can go find people that voted the way they didn't like and then attack them. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, that's the whole... | ||
| People don't want to know. | ||
| Yeah, but I don't know if that's a strong enough argument. | ||
| I think it happened so much in the past that they realized... | ||
| Yeah, I don't know if you could have... | ||
| Like, you're saying public, like, there's a ledger of everybody who voted. | ||
| I mean, there's so many people who... | ||
| That would get rid of fraud. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, but, well, maybe. | ||
| Because then anybody could pull up the ledger and be like, these people are dead. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Well, for the dead part, for sure, but there's a lot of people who say one thing and vote differently. | ||
| And then you could check the ledger and be like, I did not vote for that person. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You should be able to verify your own for sure on a ledger, but I think it would be like a secret, like a code that you have on your phone that you could scan. | ||
| No one else had access to verify your... | ||
| It's just, it's risky to let other... | ||
| The argument is that if it's public, people will vote based on what they think, and people would not vote Trump because they'd be scared for people to see them voting Trump. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, that would be... | ||
| I think, again, I don't mind, you know, it should be, you should be, the secret ballots is fine with me, but one day, get in there, show ID, keep it, I think it should be paper ballots, no computers, no nothing, that's it. | ||
| And you seal it up, you put it in, you don't, I don't even think you should put it into, like, at least where I go and vote, you take the actual ballot and you drop it in a box. | ||
| You should have an envelope, put it in the envelope, seal the envelope. | ||
| That probably would make everything take so much longer, though, if they have to open envelopes. | ||
| I don't think it would take that much longer. | ||
| What's the actual case for it? | ||
| There's 350 million people and it just... | ||
| Yeah, there's 350 million people. | ||
| We've only managed to get a third of America to vote. | ||
| Yeah, so that's not even half the country. | ||
| And it's also split up in a bunch of different places. | ||
| So the people that collect the votes, maybe there's 10,000 votes, right? | ||
| So you get... | ||
| Do we need more of those people? | ||
| Like the people who work at the... | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| I mean, in cities, maybe. | ||
| In my town, you don't have to. | ||
| There's only 4,000 of us, and it's probably only 2,000 that actually vote. | ||
| The problem is if we're putting them in envelopes, sealed, and passing them off, someone's going to eventually have to open that envelope and look at it and decide whether or not to scan that thing. | ||
| Or, if you say no computers, to write it down, what it says on it, and there's a chain of vulnerability. | ||
| And there's supposed to have people looking over their shoulders, but if those people are colluding... | ||
| That's what I... Listen, in my town, it's all paper ballots and stuff now. | ||
| There's a boatload of places that are paper ballots. | ||
| All the stuff with Dominion is because you have electronic voting. | ||
| All the lawsuits, all that garbage. | ||
| It's all garbage. | ||
| A lot of it's because it's proprietary. | ||
| The way they've set up Dominion is to have a proprietary system you can't access. | ||
| You can't reference your own vote. | ||
| Companies are going to want it to be proprietary. | ||
| They're not going to want to just give it away. | ||
| And public service shouldn't be proprietary. | ||
| What's your business if it's not proprietary? | ||
| We shouldn't have a private business doing our public code. | ||
| It's much more simple if you just do it. | ||
| Private business is running prisons. | ||
| It's much more simple if you do it in private prisons. | ||
| It's much more simple if you just do it with a paper ballot. | ||
| You can't verify your vote. | ||
| What do you mean you can't verify your vote? | ||
| If you send it off and it's like, I hope it counts. | ||
| There's a level of trust in this system. | ||
| Nobody's ever been able to verify their vote in all of history. | ||
| You're talking about changing. | ||
| You want to make a whole new process so that people can look and verify that their vote got counted. | ||
| And that also means that it's not going to be private. | ||
| You're going to have to give your social security number on your ballot so you can look up the ballot and the votes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ian, what's your social security number? | |
| You go to the website, you type in, you make an account, you put in all your data, and it would give a bar or a thing on the screen you could scan. | ||
| If they can't have people, if they don't want to have people to have ID, if the argument against ID is it's too complicated, you think you're going to go and make a profile? | ||
| Yeah, that's the thing. | ||
| The more friction you put, the less likely. | ||
| If you want to verify your vote, you can go make a profile. | ||
| That's still making friction. | ||
| That's still making things that are unnecessary. | ||
| You don't need any of that. | ||
| You can still go vote, normal, punching the thing and handing it in, but if then you want to go verify your vote, you have a way to do it on a blockchain. | ||
| I disagree with you. | ||
| I'm not going to argue with you anymore. | ||
| Let's jump to the story from the New York Post. | ||
| Democrat Senate campaign org fires employee accused of tampering with Montana ballot box. | ||
| It's not just that. | ||
| We've got this story from Channel 21 KTV. It's AP reporting. | ||
| Twelve Colorado mail-in ballots were stolen and filled out. | ||
| Three were counted. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And then, wasn't there another one that I had pulled up? | |
| There was a mailbox set fire to in Arizona that torched 20 ballots. | ||
| So, you know, we're getting off to a good start here. | ||
| There's a video of a Democrat staffer tampering with this box in some way. | ||
| Now, it's funny because they say allegedly tampering. | ||
| Why are you saying allegedly? | ||
| He's seen putting his hands on it and rustling the box around. | ||
| He's trying to do something. | ||
| He's literally tampering with a ballot box. | ||
| We don't know that he succeeded in doing anything or whatever it is he was doing, but he was certainly tampering with it. | ||
| They fired him and they said he was simply trying to see if it was secure. | ||
| If it was secure, the one has nothing to do with the fact that Trump is literally Hitler. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| Yeah, right? | ||
| I just want to see if your mail is secure in your mailbox. | ||
| The reason why they say Trump is Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini is not because they want violence. | ||
| I mean, that may be a component, but it's because they want a standalone complex. | ||
| They want 10,000 Democrats acting of their own volition to cheat so that they can win. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| When it comes to counting the ballots, it takes only maybe a few hundred people even, counting votes, to go, does that say Trump? | ||
| It looks like Trump. | ||
| Garbage. | ||
| Kamala. | ||
| Close enough, Kamala. | ||
| And what's this one? | ||
| Trimp? | ||
| I don't know what that is. | ||
| Kaimalo. | ||
| I know, that's one for Kamala. | ||
| That's like the whole Hangouts thing, right? | ||
| Yeah, you gotta remove emotions from it. | ||
| You said trust. | ||
| There's a certain level of trust, but we've developed systems called trustless systems. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, the Bitcoin ledger, obviously, there must be some way to change over to that one day. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They need to have some 90-year-old who wants to vote. | |
| They need three individuals per vote to count. | ||
| Like Jimmy Carter. | ||
| Jimmy Carter's not going to vote on the blockchain. | ||
| They need three individuals per vote. | ||
| Counted. | ||
| So all counting should be done by hand, all votes done by paper, and it should be a Trump voter, a Kamala voter, and an independent, and all three of them go through each one and make a determination as to who got the vote. | ||
| And then if there's a discrepancy, they send it off. | ||
| Espelate to a separate, yep. | ||
| But what do you think about an open source blockchain? | ||
| I think it has nothing to do with what we're seeing in destruction of tampering with ballot boxes and torching ballots. | ||
| Well, you wouldn't have paper to worry about. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And so the issue we're dealing with right now and the concerns that we have are pertaining to the fact that already we are seeing ballots destroyed and tampered with. | ||
| And what will that mean for Election Day? | ||
| That paper ballots are vulnerable. | ||
| What do you think, Phil? | ||
| I think the paper ballots are the way to go. | ||
| What do you think happens on election day if right now we're already seeing ballots get destroyed? | ||
| I mean, you can't for 150 million votes. | ||
| There's gonna be some non-zero level of malarkey. | ||
| Do you think this stuff always happens? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And we never pay attention? | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Every time ever. | ||
| So why don't we see all these stories leading up to every other election then? | ||
| Well, because up until 12 years ago, there was no social media, so if you go to CNN... Well, I guess maybe they would have, you know... | ||
| And this is a Democrat office firing a guy, and it's an official report. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| This is high-level political stuff. | ||
| I'm sure you could have found these things, but now it's just so much more magnified. | ||
| There's cameras. | ||
| Everyone's got a camera in their pockets. | ||
| Cameras everywhere. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| You know, there's cameras everywhere. | ||
| Everybody's got a camera. | ||
| I'm sure this stuff has happened. | ||
| I think so, too. | ||
| I think regimes have been controlling narratives. | ||
| Then the question is, if it's in the mind of people, will anyone trust the results with a single story about ballot destruction? | ||
| I don't think anyone's going to trust the results either way. | ||
| Literally? | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| Even if Kamala trusts his hands and both wave and say, we agree, everything's good. | ||
| In 2016, there was the Trump-Russia stuff. | ||
| In 2020, there was the whole Trump said that he won and stuff. | ||
| There's no way that... | ||
| I think that's the idea of people actually accepting the vote as honest. | ||
| The only people who are going to accept the vote are the people who voted for Chase Oliver or Jill Stein. | ||
| They know those people are losing regardless. | ||
| But everybody who is a Democrat or Republican voter will not accept the results. | ||
| This is what I'm saying. | ||
| It sounds like you're saying, no one's going to trust it, but let's just do it anyway. | ||
| No one's going to trust it, regardless of how we do it. | ||
| What if you secured it digitally? | ||
| We're not doing that this year. | ||
| No one's going to trust it because there's already been... | ||
| They're going to say, oh, well, look, there was the whole stuff with Dominion. | ||
| Computers can be hacked. | ||
| No one's going to trust it because they're not going to trust it. | ||
| Not because the system is uniquely insecure. | ||
| It's just that people won't trust. | ||
| Do you then agree with Rudyard? | ||
| That there's going to be violence? | ||
| 1,000 dead by April? | ||
| I don't know about that, but I mean, I articulated my position last night, and I do think that we're in for shenanigans. | ||
| I don't see how... | ||
| It's funny, because his polymarket odds are like 2 to 1 Trump, and I'm like, have they considered the possibility that there's no inauguration? | ||
| Well, then you get your money back. | ||
| I think that's neither a yes nor a no. | ||
| You get your money back for those things? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah. | |
| It has to be resolved. | ||
| If you ever bet on Polymarket, it's like you have to... | ||
| It says it's resolved a yes if he's elected. | ||
| It says if the AP, Fox, and I think NBC call the winner, then it resolves for the winner. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| So it doesn't have to be... | ||
| And if it doesn't, it gets called by the press on Inauguration Day. | ||
| Whoever is inaugurated will be the resolution. | ||
| But I'm like, and what happens if there's no inauguration? | ||
| What happens if there's two? | ||
| There's two inaugurations? | ||
| Two separate inaugurations? | ||
| Where are they going to happen? | ||
| How does that work? | ||
| What do you mean? | ||
| A group of people get together and hold up the Bible and then Kamala and Trump both swear on it in different places. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mm-hmm. | |
| That'll be fun. | ||
| Trump and other Republicans say this is ridiculous. | ||
| We know for a fact he won. | ||
| Democrats say, nope, we've certified Kamala to win. | ||
| Doesn't matter. | ||
| We are the House and we certify. | ||
| Thank you and have a nice day. | ||
| She's also the vice president. | ||
| She'll be the one counting the votes. | ||
| So when Jamie Raskin, who already said they intend to do this, literally in February, he said they will not certify Donald Trump. | ||
| If he wins, I'm telling you, you said this literally at a bookstore conference. | ||
| He was a roundtable or whatever panel. | ||
| And he said, if Trump wins, we will have civil war conditions. | ||
| We will not certify the vote. | ||
| We will say, Donald Trump, you are ineligible under the 14th Amendment. | ||
| What happens then when? | ||
| There's no resolution. | ||
| The Supreme Court gets petitioned by everybody, and then come January 20th, the White House or the Capitol grounds, they're closed. | ||
| We're not doing anything. | ||
| So Kamala goes to one building, Trump goes to the other, and they both claim to have an inauguration. | ||
| That's a bit above my pay grade. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I'm saying, not for you, I'm saying, what does Polymarket do? | ||
| Oh, what does Polymarket do? | ||
| Trump wins because the press is saying he has the most votes, but even though they didn't say he won? | ||
| Well, I guess, I don't know, yeah, maybe. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So then who's the, and there's just two official presidents? | |
| Well, that's called a crappy TV show. | ||
| It was a civil war in the United States that had two presidents. | ||
| Yeah, I guess. | ||
| But they both operated. | ||
| Rudyard Lynch, what if Alt-Hist made the prediction that there would be a Patriots capital in Austin and a Peoples in D.C.? And I disagreed with him. | ||
| I said, well, that doesn't make sense because you said he thinks Trump is going to win. | ||
| If Trump wins and Democrats revolt, Democrats ain't going to Austin. | ||
| Republicans would be. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| So Republicans would have D.C. Democrats would go to New York. | ||
| New York is a seat of power for the Democrats. | ||
| And then they would have their Congress and they'd say... | ||
| Well, Trump Tower. | ||
| Well, they'd seize Trump Tower for sure. | ||
| Yeah, they'd seize Trump Tower and that would be the new Congress. | ||
| Oh, that's a good point. | ||
| Congress building. | ||
| Congress, Democrat members would go there and say, Trump is ineligible and we are not going to be party to a corrupt fascist takeover of government. | ||
| This is a coup, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. | ||
| Honestly, they're not competent enough to pull something like that off, I don't think. | ||
| I disagree. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| You gotta read Sun Tzu. | ||
| All right, we'll see. | ||
| Don't underestimate your opponents. | ||
| Yeah, we'll see, I guess. | ||
| It's depressing. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I mean, that scenario seems closer to like a movie, but I could definitely see some violence. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Mostly coming from the left if Trump wins. | ||
| Rudyard may just be a guy. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Some guy on the internet, huh? | ||
| I mean, we're all just guys on the internet, aren't we? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And so when he says he has a standing bet, $1,000 if 1,000 people die by April, I'm like, that's a pretty extreme claim to make. | ||
| I mean, that's months away. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's half a year. | ||
| It's going to be like COVID all over again, where you're like, well, how did they die? | ||
| Did they die of some war? | ||
| No, he's saying specifically if domestic political violence results in death. | ||
| Like, it's a clear-cut bet. | ||
| He said it's going to be like, you go to work every day, you watch the TV, but bombs will be going off in Chicago. | ||
| Did he ever get in a fistfight? | ||
| Because he was talking like a kid behind a computer screen. | ||
| What does that have to do with... | ||
| Like, does he really think that he's looking for it? | ||
| Yeah, what do you mean? | ||
| He was saying he read about the history of Chinese dynasties, the French Revolution, the Spanish Civil War, and the Russian Revolution, and based on those things that he's read, here's his predictions. | ||
| And he may just be some guy who read some stuff and is wrong, that's sure. | ||
| I mean, this stuff has happened over and over again throughout history. | ||
| We're living in a pretty relatively calm time. | ||
| That's the crazy thing, is that we had a golden age for 30 years. | ||
| Longer. | ||
| You know, 30, 35 years. | ||
| Well, it's coming to a close. | ||
| Depends on what we do next, man. | ||
| It's the fourth turning. | ||
| It's definitely coming to a close. | ||
| You see, like, the end of the 1700s, the way they invented, developed electricity, and it popped off. | ||
| Golden age. | ||
| Like, batteries, electricity, chemistry. | ||
| And if we do some new technological breakthrough, we could have space variants. | ||
| Like, AI songs? | ||
| I don't know how that changes the political conflict. | ||
|
unidentified
|
AI is huge. | |
| Yeah, I mean, again, people on the left are not, like, Democrats, if Trump wins, are not going to take it well. | ||
| Especially because, like, there was a period a month or so ago when it was looking like Kamala Harris is just running away with it. | ||
| Remember that? | ||
| Where, like, the odds shifted and she went ahead? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And they were getting pretty jubilant. | ||
| I just don't think it's going to be the ultimate letdown for them. | ||
| I'm saying, listen, ladies and gentlemen, you have to prepare. | ||
| And this is for you, Danny. | ||
| You have to prepare. | ||
| Go back to Canada. | ||
| You cannot. | ||
| No, you can't do that. | ||
| No, I'm not. | ||
| You cannot sit around just waiting, wishing for the best. | ||
| You've got to go out. | ||
| You've got to buy backup batteries. | ||
| Because when Trump wins, these Democrats are going to be on the ground wailing like banshees. | ||
| And you need to film it and post it to actually get to watch. | ||
| Well, you should get a backup battery. | ||
| Jackery is a good one. | ||
| I have a Jackery battery. | ||
| When the power went out of my house, I don't think there's that graphene in mine, but my power went out. | ||
| I got a graphene battery. | ||
| Ian's not... | ||
| I think I have a graphene battery. | ||
| The one I got you. | ||
| Yeah, that little guy. | ||
| Starlink. | ||
| But I've got a big Jackery ACDC power. | ||
| It's great. | ||
| Graphene backup batteries. | ||
| You know those portable batteries? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah. | |
| The graphene one can be charged up in 10 minutes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| Check it out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Because... | |
| The way it works is it's a lithium-ion battery with, I guess they say they've got a graphene sheet running through it, which charges it equally and evenly all at once. | ||
| So the energy goes straight into it, charges it. | ||
| So you've got two full cell phone charges in 10 minutes. | ||
| There's a new gallium nitride is the new superconductor they're using. | ||
| I make tiny, look at this, 10,000 milliamp hour battery. | ||
| What, really? | ||
| It's this thing, dude. | ||
| It has plugs in it. | ||
| 10,000. | ||
| 10,000. | ||
| Dude, I can charge my phone two and a half times, this little guy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| It's at 84% now. | ||
| I've been charging it for about 20, 30 minutes. | ||
| Well, look, we all saw the video of the woman dropping to her knees and screaming no in 2016. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I think about that a lot. | ||
| No, I think about what scares me the most is that it's going to be November 5th, and Democrats across this country are going to be dropping to their knees and screaming no, and Republicans will have dead phones. | ||
| Their phones are going to be dead, and they're going to be like, I can't get out. | ||
| I've got one No, I couldn't film it. | ||
| And then what am I going to do? | ||
| I'm on X, and I just see, what, one picture? | ||
| Assuming the Internet's up everywhere. | ||
| Unacceptable. | ||
| I got Starlink. | ||
| You can use your cell phone as a mobile network and then put your laptop through that network. | ||
| You can charge your Jackery battery through your car if you need to. | ||
| If you really run out for like a day, you've got your car to charge your battery, which can charge your laptop and your phone. | ||
| Let's jump into the story. | ||
| Just to cut you off, but do you think she comes to the, if he gets, like if he wins, do you think she comes to his inauguration? | ||
| Oh, I have no idea. | ||
| That woman? | ||
| Let's read the story. | ||
| We've got the Washington Examiner. | ||
| Fear of election violence and civil war surge. | ||
| Now, that is called burying the lead, my friends, because here's the better story. | ||
| The nation's largest network of survival camps is urging its members to spend Election Day inside its guarded fences due to growing concerns about political violence and civil war. | ||
| Fortitude Ranch, which has several established and planned off the grid prepper resorts, issued its call after pollsters reporting surging fears of violence from the losing side in next month's election. | ||
| Quote, Fortitude Ranch staff does not consider the likelihood of immediate post-election violence or civil war to be high, but there is a strong likelihood of some violence by the 50% or more of the population that will be very angry with the November 5th results, said the organization on its Collapse Survivor app. | ||
| Okay, well, there's two ways to look at it. | ||
| Here's a question for you. | ||
| Is Fortitude Ranch being completely straightforward and, you know, there may be some protests and you might want to, if you're in a high-risk area, be at this camp where you can chill out and they're really nice places. | ||
| Or are they trying to avoid alarming people and sparking panic by saying, if you are in a high-risk area, the chance of danger, violence, death is extremely high. | ||
| You need to get out now, which could cause a panic. | ||
| Probably the second. | ||
| You think they're avoiding a panic? | ||
| Yeah, they probably genuinely believe it. | ||
| If there's ever been a risk to serious confrontational political violence in the last 30 years in the United States, it's going to be on November 5th, or right around that time, because of the hot media. | ||
| Where are they located? | ||
| All over the country. | ||
| Because I assume the type of person who goes to one of these is heavily armed. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Let me tell you about Fortitude Ranch, okay? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| They're basically man resorts. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Okay, so they say survival community, but I tell you what it really is. | ||
| They've got bunkers. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They've got emergency food. | ||
| But when you go there, it's basically like a dude's retreat where you've got, like, you're chopping wood, you're shooting guns, you're watching movies in a log cabin. | ||
| Oh, that sounds fun. | ||
| Yeah, it's super fun. | ||
| It's like a timeshare for dudes. | ||
| It's like a spa for dudes. | ||
| Like, are they just trying to sell more timeshares? | ||
|
unidentified
|
They have one. | |
| You're LARPing that you're a commando in the end of the world. | ||
| But the reality is that after the world does end, you definitely want to be there eventually. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So it's your cool vacation spot to go and do man stuff, and in the unlikely event that the world actually does end, you have a place to go should you need it. | ||
| Man, RFK said a vote for Kamala is a vote for nuclear war. | ||
| Did you see that? | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Today, I think he said that? | ||
| That was... | ||
| I would think of that as rhetoric, but I mean, he's... | ||
| That's why I wonder if Fortitude is really thinking, like, nothing's going to happen, but come hang out, you know? | ||
| They're really very good about contingencies, and I think they do believe that if there is something possible that might happen, it's going to happen early after the election, so be here for that. | ||
| I agree with that. | ||
| Yeah, it probably will happen right away. | ||
| Again, they're probably just trying to sell. | ||
| A lot of people talk about fighting the government or whatever. | ||
| That's not what is going to happen, or at least not what I imagine is going to happen. | ||
| I think that there's going to be a lot of people that are going to be angry with other people. | ||
| As much as Donald Trump is the big boogeyman, you see the way that the leftists and stuff treat other Americans. | ||
| The woman that went up to that person's... | ||
| They caught her on the ring camera. | ||
| She went up to the house and she literally knocked on the door and she was wigging out because this woman was a Trump voter and stuff. | ||
| I imagine, and you know, was the guy that got shot in Seattle? | ||
| Aaron Danielson? | ||
| Yeah, Aaron Danielson. | ||
| Was that Seattle or was that Portland? | ||
| Well, the Pacific Northwest. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| But even still, he was shot specifically because he was a Trump voter. | ||
| I imagine those things would be more of a problem for your average American than having to fight the government, because nobody's really going to want to fight the government. | ||
| No, no. | ||
| I do want to add this as a personal disclosure. | ||
| I have as small as a minority stake as possible in Fortitude, like single digit. | ||
| But I don't... | ||
| Communicate with them. | ||
| I don't know much about what they're doing or why they're doing it. | ||
| I just want to make sure that's clear. | ||
| Clarify, too. | ||
| Aaron Danielson was in Portland, yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah, we met the Fortitude guys. | ||
| We've had the CEO on the show and the CEO... When they came on, I basically wrote a check like, hey, if something happens, can I bring my family? | ||
| And they're like... | ||
| Great guys. | ||
| Super honest guys. | ||
| And I have ex-military. | ||
| It sounds like a fun time. | ||
| The CEO, I think he's ex-military, was he? | ||
| Yeah, they're ex-intelligence, military and stuff like that. | ||
| So... | ||
| But so, that's why I'm saying, like, it's more of a, they call it off-the-grid prepper resorts. | ||
| That's exactly how I describe it. | ||
| Resorts. | ||
| You, like, hang out and there's chickens. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And you just, you LARP as being a man in the wilderness. | ||
| You're not, like, are you eating, all the food you're eating is, like, reconstituted with water, like, rations style? | ||
| No, you're eating cheeseburgers and normal food. | ||
| Oh, okay, so this just sounds like a fun man retreat. | ||
| Yeah, it's like a man retreat. | ||
| But like I said, like, if the world is about to end, you definitely want to be there. | ||
| So that's why I asked the question, like, are they trying to downplay this? | ||
| Because they don't want everyone jumping in their cars and speeding, and then everything fills up, and then they've got people banging on the door. | ||
| Exactly, yeah. | ||
| They're like, if it's going to happen, just on off chance, be here before it happens. | ||
| Because they did this last time around. | ||
| That's how we ended up meeting them, actually. | ||
| Because I think in 2020, they issued a call saying, if you're a member, it's time to come to the bunkers. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| They go, oh, woo! | ||
| It's more boring that you have an app, and it goes, brrm. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then it's like, close the walls! | ||
|
unidentified
|
And he's like, this giant 9,000th of an eye wall. | |
| I mean, you just don't want to be anywhere densely populated and you're fine. | ||
| If you're in... | ||
| Like, I still even find it hard to see... | ||
| But isn't it funny that they destroy their own cities? | ||
| What's that? | ||
| They destroy their own cities? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, like, New York City, like, Williamsburg... | ||
| I remember, so specifically, when Joe Biden, when they called it for Biden in 2020, I was sleeping. | ||
| It was like 11 a.m. | ||
| And I was sleeping, and literally, I woke up. | ||
| To cheering in the streets, right? | ||
| And I didn't know what was going on. | ||
| I was kind of confused. | ||
| I just hear all this cheering. | ||
| I'm like, oh, Biden won. | ||
| And I walked outside. | ||
| It looked like, I remember when I lived in Toronto, the Toronto Raptors won the NBA Finals. | ||
| That's what it looked like. | ||
| The streets were just full of jubilant people. | ||
| This will be the opposite. | ||
| This will be the opposite of that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
People... | |
| Who wants to live in New York? | ||
| It's so wild. | ||
| I don't do it by choice. | ||
| Then why do you do it? | ||
| Because comedy's good there. | ||
| You live in Jersey. | ||
| I do. | ||
| Well, I actually do live in Jersey. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Aha! | |
| We got him. | ||
| Exposed. | ||
| And I'm moving back to New York. | ||
| Yeah, I know that joy of living close to the action. | ||
| I like to spend time in Miami for that reason, but it's nice to be in the woods. | ||
| Nah, bro, I tell you, you gotta choose to comedy. | ||
| You gotta go to images over on 340. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Every Saturday, there's like two or three people hanging out. | |
| Bombard them with a set? | ||
| You laughing at us rural folk out here? | ||
| What are you doing, huh? | ||
| That's all I need is one set every two weeks. | ||
| That's perfect. | ||
| Well, how often do you do it? | ||
| Ten times a week. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| Yeah, it's like New York's the only place. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Maybe Austin. | |
| Are you just like saying the same joke over and over and over again? | ||
| Sometimes different ones, yeah. | ||
| But it's whatever I'm working on. | ||
| But I don't like, like whatever I'm working on for that period. | ||
| So far to say, it's a different culture in a big city in the United States. | ||
| It is such a different, this country is so, so vastly different. | ||
| Divergent. | ||
| Like, being in Miami, it's like being in a different country. | ||
| That's... | ||
| I feel... | ||
| If I understand correctly, that's the way that it's been for... | ||
| I mean, as long as there have been cities... | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The culture in the city and the culture in the rural areas are significantly different. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, there's a reason why most large cities in this country are democratic. | ||
| Like, are there any huge cities that go red? | ||
| Like, maybe like Dallas? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't even know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Like... | |
| It seems like most cities are going, oh yeah, yeah, you know, it's like the big city, everybody's a Democrat, and then outside of it, everyone's a Republican. | ||
| I mean, even New York is like that. | ||
| There's that vibe of like, they'll take care of me. | ||
| If I'm in this city, either they're going to take care of me, or it's all screwed, so they better take care of me, whoever they are. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It's like, if there's a fire, we can't put it out. | ||
| If the tree falls down, please, someone come and take it out for us. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I was just joking about it. | |
| Yesterday, I was in Greenwich Village, and there's like a giant... | ||
| Like, Greenwich Village is literally a one-bedroom apartment. | ||
| It's $6,000 a month. | ||
| And there's a hardware store. | ||
| Like, must be sitting on a piece of land that would sell for $200 million. | ||
| Like, it's so valuable. | ||
| And there's just, like, a hardware store. | ||
| Like, nobody here is going to a hardware store. | ||
| Like, what is this even for? | ||
| Like, nobody around here fixes stuff, their own stuff, when it breaks. | ||
| Like, you know? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, the help has to get something to fix it. | |
| They're all bug men. | ||
| Yeah, but still, like, all this stuff can be delivered by Amazon nowadays. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, true. | |
| Yeah, that too. | ||
| Oh man, big time. | ||
| I find myself using Amazon. | ||
| Do you feel bad about it? | ||
| Kind of not. | ||
| I'm going hard on Twitch, and I'm just kind of like, yay Amazon, yay corporations. | ||
| I understand the danger of centralization of authority and power. | ||
| Amazon could create a drone army and take over the country. | ||
| If they tried, they could try, and they could make a dent. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Stop giving Jeff ideas. | |
| Yeah, that's crazy. | ||
| I mean, it's literally magic what they do. | ||
| But it's kind of like we were talking about small government earlier. | ||
| And I was thinking about the men who built America and how valuable it is to kind of strip away bureaucracy like Elon and stuff. | ||
| And like we had Rockefeller and Carnegie and Vanderbilt and how much power these individuals and their corporations accrued because of that. | ||
| So you do kind of want some government limiting corporate power. | ||
| But I think we have too much government. | ||
| Yeah, Rockefeller was a G. He was doing by himself 1% of the American GDP by himself. | ||
| We should have taxed him and taken everything from him. | ||
| They tried. | ||
| They split up his companies and then he got even richer. | ||
| Just because it's wrong to be rich for no reason. | ||
| He wasn't rich for no reason. | ||
| He did all that stuff. | ||
| If you win the lottery, you're instantly evil. | ||
| That's just the way it works. | ||
| Terrible, terrible take. | ||
| If you win the lottery, we should take all of your money from you and distribute it to the people. | ||
| Everyone in this room has won the geographical lottery. | ||
| Except for you. | ||
| You're Canadian. | ||
| I still feel like it. | ||
| You're still protected. | ||
| Hey, there was a chance that I grew up in Russia, so I'll take it. | ||
| You're as protected by America as you can be protected by America and not be in America. | ||
| Do you ever go to Canada? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| My family lives there. | ||
| I don't live there. | ||
| Do you go X months a year or anything? | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| Do you have to do hostile environment training and get prepared to go back because of how bad it is? | ||
| Well, my parents live in a suburb of Toronto, so it's fine. | ||
| So it's bad, but it's not that bad? | ||
| It's not that bad, no. | ||
| I worry about going to Canada because of my ex-posts. | ||
| I'm surprised you don't worry about going there because of your comedy routine. | ||
| Oh, I say some crazy stuff. | ||
| I mean, I made this one thing about Trudeau on Colbert, this AI video that went super viral in Canada. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| You got in trouble for that, didn't you? | ||
| No, I got in trouble for the Jake Tapper. | ||
| I didn't get in trouble for the Jake Tapper one. | ||
| I made this one about the exploding goats, basically when the pagers were going off, and then I said goats, and then Jake Tapper... | ||
| What? | ||
| And he's like, I need to talk to you. | ||
| Are you joking? | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| I'm friends with Jake Tapper now. | ||
| And literally he messaged me because it went mega viral, like tens of millions of views. | ||
| And then he messaged me on Twitter and he's like, Danny, this is Jake Tapper. | ||
| I need to talk to you. | ||
| Text him and tell him. | ||
| And I was like, I'm in so much trouble. | ||
| Because I had two different ones. | ||
| Jake Tapper? | ||
| Well, I just thought he was like, stop using my face for your comedy videos. | ||
| Like, stop it or whatever, or we're gonna see you. | ||
| Was he like, hey, this was really funny? | ||
| Yeah, he was like, can you make me an AI video for CNN? Because I want to do a segment about the dangers of AI. And I'm like, I'm the danger! | ||
| Did he do the segment? | ||
| Yeah, he did the segment. | ||
| Because I'm like, it's gonna show you with, like, a Hitler mustache? | ||
| And he's like, this guy did this to me. | ||
| No, but then he's making it his, like, whole... | ||
| Like, top, like, concern right now is this AI stuff. | ||
| And he went on Seth Meyers, and he was talking about me, and he called me to talk about you. | ||
| Get him to tell his wife to drop out of the New Hampshire race, because I don't want her to be my congressperson. | ||
| I mean, I have his phone number, but I'm not going to do that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Exit him. | |
| Give it to me. | ||
| No! | ||
| Jake, tell her to drop out. | ||
| She's running? | ||
| Yeah, she's running against Lily Tang. | ||
| She lives in New Hampshire? | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| For the purpose of going to Congress. | ||
| Right, because he must live in New York. | ||
| I'm sure he does. | ||
| How long has she lived in New Hampshire? | ||
| I have no idea. | ||
| Oh, that's crazy. | ||
| Long enough to be like, oh, I want to run for president. | ||
| But she's totally backed by, like... | ||
| She's trying to be, what, a congresswoman? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| She's trying to take the New Hampshire's second congresswoman. | ||
| Shout out to Lily Tang Williams. | ||
| I like her a lot. | ||
| She's been on the show. | ||
| Lily's great. | ||
| If you're a voting kind and you're in New Hampshire, you should go vote for her. | ||
| She's from China. | ||
| She understands... | ||
| She's big on gun rights. | ||
| She understands self-sovereignty. | ||
| Jake Tapper's wife is a total, like, deep state apparatchik. | ||
| No joke, she is. | ||
| Yeah, I believe it. | ||
| I'm not kidding at all. | ||
| So now you and Jake are tight. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You've been working on, so I kind of want to see one of these videos. | ||
| Why don't you get him in a video with you and Ryan? | ||
| You know what it is? | ||
| I said this on the Boys cast, but he basically was like, can you make me this video of me speaking? | ||
| And he gave me all these things to write. | ||
| And I was like, sure, I'll make it for you. | ||
| It only takes me like 20 minutes. | ||
| And then in it, funny enough, he said, like in the text, he said, this video was made by this brilliant comedian, Danny Palachuk. | ||
| And I kind of like rolled my eyes. | ||
| I was like, whatever, this is what he wanted. | ||
| And then I made it and I was in a group chat with him and his producer. | ||
| And then I sent them the video. | ||
| And then she messaged me, like off to the side, just one on one. | ||
| She's like, hey, can you remake the video, but just remove the word brilliant? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| But I was like, those were his words. | ||
| I didn't even want to say that. | ||
| What's that? | ||
| I would have just been like, sorry, that's what Jake wanted. | ||
| Well, what I understand is that I'm making fun of CNN. You should have just said, no. | ||
| I'm making fun. | ||
| Obviously, I'm like, CNN is somewhat the butt of the joke to a degree here. | ||
| And they're trying to be like, trying to use this. | ||
| And so he can't like, totally endorse me publicly. | ||
| You could have taken out brilliant, but put like, genius. | ||
| Here you go, I fixed it. | ||
| Mega genius comedian. | ||
| Handsome. | ||
| No, I just wanted you to just remove that. | ||
| You said remove it, and I did. | ||
| And then he went on Seth Meyers, and he's like, this comedian is making these gross videos. | ||
| Did they show a picture of your face where your skin was turned green like Rogan? | ||
| Oh yeah, no. | ||
| They're like, look at him, he looks terrible. | ||
| So what do you think about- It made you fatter. | ||
| What do you think about regulating AI? Honestly, so I make all these AI videos, I've been making them for the last month, and there is some percentage, not a small percentage of people- Who cannot tell the difference between real and fake things. | ||
| Like, they just can't. | ||
| I don't know if it's because their glasses aren't on, they're not paying attention. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| But, like, the exploding goats video I made, that was the first one I made that went super viral. | ||
| I got a Snopes fact check. | ||
| Like, Snopes contacted me and they're like, hey, can I ask you some questions? | ||
| We're doing a fact check. | ||
| I'm like, you're talking to a comedian right now. | ||
| So that should be the end of your fact check. | ||
| And they're like, well, no, because there's all these people on Twitter who are... | ||
| Saying that the IDF is, Mossad is blowing up goats in whatever, Lebanon. | ||
| Like, all these goats in Lebanon are exploding and people are saying this as fact, so we need to do a fact check on it. | ||
| And there's just, there's some degree of people. | ||
| Now, I don't know what the, like, if there's negative repercussions of that. | ||
| Like, I think it's fine. | ||
| I agree it probably shouldn't be in political ads. | ||
| But maybe it should be. | ||
| I mean, if it is, it'll get so out of hand. | ||
| And I'll gladly, if anybody wants me to make them, I'm getting pretty good at it. | ||
| Do you just use like an app or what? | ||
| I use this thing. | ||
| It's called... | ||
| It's actually just like an open source. | ||
| It's called Easy Wave to Lip. | ||
| It's like a GitHub repo, and then you just run it in a Google collab, like just a source. | ||
| It's really easy. | ||
| And then what, do you make the work? | ||
| You just take in the source. | ||
| Yeah, so I write a script, and then I put it into this, like, Eleven Labs voice cloner thing, and then you just get a source. | ||
| You get a source, like, audio, and then it clones it, and then you just export the new, like, the text, and then you just, like, sync them to the audio and video. | ||
| Does it make the mouth move, like Jake Tapper's mouth move? | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| And it looks almost real? | ||
| Yeah, I made an Anderson Cooper one about the WNBA. Honestly, if you're looking at it, you can tell. | ||
| But if you're kind of... | ||
| There's a lot of people who see these and cannot tell. | ||
| Especially on little screens. | ||
| It could be because they have bad eyes. | ||
| I'm not being joking. | ||
| No, no, seriously. | ||
| Seriously. | ||
| The screen might be a little blurry, and so it just looks like Anderson was talking. | ||
| I purposely make them outlandish enough where you're like, clearly this is not real. | ||
| Why don't you make one right now which is like, Trump won, it's over. | ||
| Well, because I don't want to get deported. | ||
| I agree with you about political. | ||
| I think it's risky. | ||
| Douglas Mackey, right? | ||
| That guy's in jail for like seven years. | ||
| He didn't make it either. | ||
| I know. | ||
| And I'm very conscious of the fact that I could cross some line and wind up in prison. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Just by making an AI video. | ||
| Like, if I do one, then I'm like, oh, no, that's comedy. | ||
| And they're like, yeah, well, we don't find it funny. | ||
| You should make one of Ryan Long saying that. | ||
| I was going to make one of him endorsing Kamala Harris. | ||
| Oh, okay, there you go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
LAUGHTER That would be awesome. | |
| Go check out Ryan's new comedy special, by the way. | ||
| Yeah, where is it? | ||
| It's on YouTube. | ||
| Ryan Long Comedy? | ||
| Yeah, Ryan Long Comedy. | ||
| Ooh, when did it drop? | ||
| It just came out like a week ago. | ||
| Is it offensive? | ||
| It is very offensive. | ||
| Oh, thank God. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah. | |
| We were filming jokes in the other room with the puppets. | ||
| Because we got puppets of Richie and Mike, a special Mike made. | ||
| And you. | ||
| Well, the me one was from Jack Posobiec. | ||
| And so we had these other ones and me and Richie were just goofing off and making jokes and being silly. | ||
| And then I was about to start a joke, but Sam was filming. | ||
| I was like, wait, Sam, stop filming. | ||
| And he goes, now I know it's going to be funny. | ||
| He was right. | ||
| You're like, this could damage the brand. | ||
| No, it was a really dark one. | ||
| And I was like, we can't film this one. | ||
| And everybody agreed. | ||
| I could make an AI of all of us talking and saying wild stuff. | ||
| And there is, not to discourage your viewers, but there is some percentage of people watching right now who would be like, is Tim actually saying this stuff? | ||
| You should take a transcription of what Seamus says about his faith and religion, but then make Ian say it. | ||
| Oh, that'd be great. | ||
| And then make him say the stuff I say. | ||
| Or maybe Seamus talking about how much he loves the devil. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And DMT. That would just be offensive. | |
| Like having Ian preach about how he's a devout Catholic and he goes to church and reads the Bible. | ||
| How's that not offensive to me? | ||
| Because you wouldn't be offended by it. | ||
| It's less offensive, but Seamus talking about DMT would be great. | ||
| Making Seamus pray to the devil would be us. | ||
| So you're like on the cusp of this stuff. | ||
| I am, but all this stuff costs me $20 a month to use all this stuff, unlimited. | ||
| So it's pretty expensive. | ||
| Yeah, real cheddar. | ||
| And it's like the learning curve, I could teach this to you in five minutes. | ||
| Well, why don't we do this in the members only? | ||
| Yeah, let's do it. | ||
| We'll make one. | ||
| Let's make something crazy. | ||
| Let's do it. | ||
| Yeah, it's really easy. | ||
| Let's make... | ||
| We can make, like, a simple one because the problem is it takes time to render. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| That's the only thing that it does take some time to render the video. | ||
| We showed you Suno. | ||
| Yeah, Suno's amazing. | ||
| That blew my mind. | ||
| Yeah, it was funny because... | ||
| So, Special Mike, for those that don't know, he's one of our team writers at the Boonies, and he's ridiculously good. | ||
| Trying to explain... | ||
| His skill level, because I was saying he's like a top-level pro skater, but he doesn't skate like you'd see on any of these famous videos. | ||
| I said he's the Niger Houston of Mike Vallely's, and instantly every skateboarder understands completely what I'm saying, but you guys have no idea. | ||
| No idea. | ||
| But anyway... | ||
| He's trying to do, like, there's been a couple times in the past few days where he's trying to land a trick, and we made this AI song four months ago where it's a pop-punk song where the guy just says, Special Mike is the greatest skateboarder, and then he's trying to do this trick, so I just turn it on, he lands it right away. | ||
| really and then and then he was trying to do a kickflip indie it's a trick off you know over this gap and he's falling falling he gives up and i was like oh come on i know you can do this i put the song on and the pop punk song turns on and then he lands it right away and then one of the other pros here is like what What is this? | ||
| Like, who wrote this song about Special Mike? | ||
| And I was like, what do you mean? | ||
| You've never heard this one? | ||
| This is a classic pop-punk song from like 2003. | ||
| About Special Mike, the greatest skateboarder. | ||
| Yeah, how could you not? | ||
| And then we wrote one about him. | ||
| And then he's just like, what is happening? | ||
| When people don't know what Suno is, and you hear a pop-punk song, it sounds like it's from 2006, and they're singing about you and what you do with your life, you're like, how is this possible? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Now imagine what kids are going to grow up with. | ||
| You know, it used to be difficult to make a song. | ||
| And when a song was about something, it was like looking at a stone monolith. | ||
| You don't know how long it took to build. | ||
| Someone had to chisel. | ||
| You have to learn an instrument. | ||
| That's interesting. | ||
| But it was studio recordings. | ||
| It was multiple people. | ||
| It was a singer. | ||
| And so when they sang, it was akin to a large statue. | ||
| Now it's like Play-Doh. | ||
| Now you turn on a speaker and it's Donald Trump singing Gangster's Paradise. | ||
| I've noticed when I record myself doing something and I watch it over and over and over again, it becomes easier to replicate it. | ||
| So when I hit those notes in a song, the really hard ones, I can do it easier because I've seen myself do it so many times. | ||
| So if I forged an AI of me doing something challenging, I wonder if that would make it easier for me to actually accomplish. | ||
| Oh, if you just have to see it, like do something that is out of your kind of... | ||
| And I believe I can do it because I've seen myself do it so many times. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Wow. | ||
| Yeah, this ass stuff is getting crazy, man. | ||
| It is, but yeah, they're going to try. | ||
| The Jake Tapper thing is he had Amy Klobuchar on, and she's trying to put together some bill. | ||
| But again, it's a First Amendment issue, right? | ||
| This is what I was saying before. | ||
| If I can do an impersonation or an impression of Donald Trump, why can't I use a tool? | ||
| To simulate, what's the difference? | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| And now, if I started trying to do something that I guess would create civil unrest, and I was... | ||
| And again, whatever technology I have access to, which is open source and cheap... | ||
| The North Korean or the Chinese government, they have 10 versions ahead of this. | ||
| They could do probably some wild stuff. | ||
| The crazy thing is when you stop seeing deepfakes is when you should be scared. | ||
| Oh man, that's for sure. | ||
| The difference is impressions and impersonations. | ||
| It's the difference. | ||
| Because if you're doing an impression of someone, you're good. | ||
| But as soon as you start to impersonate, especially a politician... | ||
| Impersonation implying you are intending to deceive someone that you are them for the sake of some kind of gain or whatever. | ||
| Yeah, and the thing is, what I'm doing is definitely covered by the First Amendment and parody law, but they wrote those laws. | ||
| AI wasn't a thing. | ||
| They were like, yeah, of course you can put on a wig and pretend to be Donald Trump. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But even just voice. | ||
| Voice, yeah. | ||
| And a lot of people do a really good Donald Trump voice. | ||
| So the AI is not a perfect Trump voice, but it's close enough to where people might think it. | ||
| That's not perfect. | ||
| And if you get a really good impression from someone, they might be like, oh, that sounds a lot like that. | ||
| And I mean, Gavin Newsom's AI bill, which obviously was mostly nonsense, but part of it was like, hey, you can't just, if you're a Hollywood studio, you can't take some actor and just use their voice. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| But I am. | ||
| Hollywood's over. | ||
| Hollywood is a lot of trouble. | ||
| I was saying before we're a couple of years out, but it could be sooner than that, where you just sit down on your TV and there's going to be an app called Hollywood Star or something, and you're going to say, render me a movie about Spider-Man, but he wants to be a stand-up comedian, and so he hangs out with Danny Polishchuk, and then he succeeds. | ||
| And it will be like rendering, and then it'll take like 15-20 minutes, and then it'll play. | ||
| And you will literally watch a full movie with Spider-Man. | ||
| The amount of entertainment I've gotten out of Suno, just sitting down and making songs for three hours and listening to the songs is like, dude, I just went to a concert. | ||
| If you just hit that generate button enough times, it's going to crank out a hit at some point. | ||
| Dude, it's going to be insane, the kind of things that are created in the next year or two. | ||
| Well, you're a musician. | ||
| What do you think? | ||
| How long until they're... | ||
| No, about like the Suno thing. | ||
| Have you seen it? | ||
| No. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| Oh, you haven't seen it at all? | ||
| You haven't seen this? | ||
| Well, we'll mess around with this stuff in the members' show. | ||
| But I'm imagining someone... | ||
| Coming for your job, dude. | ||
| You're going to see videos of like... | ||
| Someone's going to say, give me an episode of Friends where Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin shows up and blows up the Friends apartment, but then Phoebe ends up falling for him and they get married. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then, could you imagine watching that? | ||
| Whatever you imagine. | ||
| Oh, you throw in a VR and The problem is the little intricacies and the dialogue. | ||
| It'll get it. | ||
| That, I don't know. | ||
| I think the storytellers will still be needed. | ||
| I'm going to play a song for you. | ||
| There's an AI mod for Skyrim where you can talk to the NPCs and they respond. | ||
| The thing about, at least as far as my job goes, artists and stuff, The personality is what matters nowadays. | ||
| They can AI songs and stuff. | ||
| Like comedy? | ||
| I'm actually not worried about comedy. | ||
| I've got two songs. | ||
| They're clips. | ||
| And these are Donald Trump tweets that we made earlier in the year. | ||
| Check this out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We'll explain for me to my wonderful son, Baron, who is a great student at a fantastic school that his dad would likely not be allowed to attend his graduation. | |
| Show me something that we have been talking about for years. | ||
| Because a seriously conflicted and corrupt New York state judge wants me in cradle court on a bogus. | ||
| But in case, which according to virtually all legal scholars and pundits has no merit and should never have been brought this fake case, this only meant to accolades, but inventing me from proudly attending my son's but inventing me from proudly attending my son's graduation seems very unfair. | ||
| Doesn't it? | ||
| But this whole event is unfair. | ||
| We won't get the many fake cases that are perpetuated by the White House in order to help the worst president in history by far get re-elected. | ||
| Okay, so that's where it's at. | ||
| That took you how long to make? | ||
| 30 seconds. | ||
| Now listen to this one. | ||
| I love this one. | ||
| Another Trump tweet. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This Trump flick, Trump hate, judge won't let me respond. | |
| People that all teeny lying and spewing hate all day long. | ||
| This is so good. | ||
| John Lee Hook. | ||

The New York system of justice is being decimated by critics from all over the world. | |
| I want to speak or at least be able to respond. | ||
| Rection interference. Rection interference. Rection interference. Rection. | ||
| Or at least be able to respond. Rection interference. | ||
| Rection. in constitutional trial. | ||
| The music, the instrumentation is almost indiscernible. | ||
| That took me 30 seconds, and that was earlier in the year. | ||
| Is that Suno? | ||
| Yeah, it probably has two new versions, or five new versions. | ||
| It's at 3.5 right now. | ||
| It was at 3 about a year, half a year ago, something like that. | ||
| That rock opera song about Barron going to high school or missing the graduation ceremony was so good. | ||
| I told Carter, I was like, we should actually flesh that out and make a cartoon of Trump singing this, because that's how good the song was. | ||
| Think about where we're going to be in a year. | ||
| So two years ago, I used AI to make a picture of Nancy Pelosi and it looked like a grotesque monster. | ||
| It was crappy. | ||
| Exactly like her. | ||
| Now you can make a picture of her and it looks like a... | ||
| Right. | ||
| But nowadays, you could just be like, give me a picture of Nancy Pelosi doing a kickflip and you'll get it. | ||
| Now you can make a video saying, make a video of Nancy Pelosi riding a bike and it will make it. | ||
| Remember a year ago the video of the spaghetti? | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Will Smith eating spaghetti and he's eating his hand turned into spaghetti and stuff. | ||
| Now the detail and the resolution that it comes up with is mind-blowing. | ||
| In a year, there's not going to be any difference between your 4K actual videos and things that the... | ||
| I mean, they definitely need some sort of instant detection, some sort of software. | ||
| How? | ||
| When it's all just developing? | ||
| Well, here's the thing. | ||
| When I post on YouTube, I actually mark it as altered content, just so I don't get in trouble. | ||
| Because they did, even the Exploding Goats one, I got a strike... | ||
| From Warner Brothers, because Warner Brothers copyright strike me and claimed the video as their own because their bot that crawls YouTube for their content couldn't tell the difference between mine and theirs. | ||
| I got it back because I was like, it's after like 10 days, but it was mine. | ||
| But Twitter... | ||
| After, I want to say 4 million views on the video, put up an altered content. | ||
| And even with the altered content notification underneath, people were like, is this real? | ||
| So there's some people who are like hopeless for this stuff. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, and I understand there's some people that are hopeless, but like everyone's going to be hopeless. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because it's going to be indistinguishable. | ||
| And the thing that I can't get beyond is like... | ||
| What is it that AI is going to look for to identify AI versus real? | ||
| Because at the end of the day, it's just pixels. | ||
| I think the audio might have some markers. | ||
| Because the audio, sometimes when I export the audio, it does sound a little robotic. | ||
| In a year? | ||
| Eventually, yeah, I know. | ||
| And then you can have Donald Trump telling all his constituents, hey, go do something crazy. | ||
| And all it takes is one person to do it. | ||
| And they're going to claim it's real. | ||
| So here's what I've been warning about AI is it's not fake videos. | ||
| So take Donald Trump when he said very fine people on both sides, but I'm not talking about the neo-Nazis or the white nationalists because they should be condemned totally. | ||
| The fear is that what happens is that video comes out. | ||
| The media, what did they immediately do? | ||
| They said Trump called Nazis very, very fine people. | ||
| But for someone like, you know, Brandon Strzok or whatever, and he's a former Democrat, he ends up finding the videos where he's like, wait a minute, there was more that transcript. | ||
| And now Snopes eventually debunks it. | ||
| Let's say the video came out but AI existed. | ||
| Someone would take it, immediately re-render it so that Trump says they were very fine people on both sides and I'm not talking about the neo-Nazis and white supremacists because some of them should be condemned totally. | ||
| They changed they to some of them. | ||
| You can make a very minor change. | ||
| You can do that in literally four seconds. | ||
| And then what happens is every Democrat would share the some of them and every Republican would share the they. | ||
| And then Republicans would be like, he said, condemn them. | ||
| And the Democrats would go... | ||
| Some of them, he was saying some were good. | ||
| And you're like, he didn't say that. | ||
| He said they should be condemned. | ||
| No, he didn't. | ||
| Here's the video. | ||
| And then it doesn't matter what's true because they've seen a video they assert is true and it looks like CNN. And there's no way to tell the difference. | ||
| You'd have to go to the source like CNN. But if it's a grainy cell phone video of capturing an event, then no one knows which one's the original. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Or what if the AI software that flags AI starts flagging real stuff as AI? And it already does. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| This is altered. | ||
| No, it's not. | ||

I don't know. | |
| My YouTube channel is fully demonetized, so... | ||
| What? | ||
| Really? | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because I posted some clip from my... | ||
| I do this podcast live call-in show called The Bath House every Tuesday night at 9 p.m., and I posted one short, even though the whole video was on my channel, the whole episode, and then I posted one short from the thing the day the Unabomber, Ted Kaczynski, died, and we weren't even, like, we were just joking, and... | ||
| And not saying anything pro Unabomber, nothing. | ||
| And then they just flagged it and they gave me a strike, demonetized my channel, and then they said it was demonetized for glorifying terrorists or whatever. | ||
| And then that strike, you can never be remonetized, even though it was my first strike ever. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Really? | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Demonetized for life. | ||
| Jeez. | ||
| So anyways, not hiring AI guys. | ||

| Jason Hutchinson says, obligatory libertarian sound off. | ||
| Taxation is theft. | ||
| North Libertarian says, Trump must have heard Dave Smith may vote for him. | ||
| Dave Smith is voting for him, and we did want to get to that, but we didn't end up getting to it. | ||
| Dave Smith said he's voting Trump. | ||
| Yeah, he posted a video that says, Dave Smith, I'm voting for Donald Trump. | ||
| Did he say why? | ||
| Yeah, well, he said he saw Kamala Harris campaigning with Liz Cheney and he went, you deserve to lose. | ||
| Like, there's a lot of reasons you deserve to lose, but just seeing that, I was disgusted. | ||
| And the Libertarians hate their candidate. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He's a gay communist. | ||
| Yeah, the Libertarians are not pumped with Chase Oliver. | ||
| Not at all. | ||
| Well, they chose him. | ||
| Yeah, they colluded, apparently. | ||
| Two of the three challenging parties got behind the scenes, and they were like, let's make sure Clint Russell doesn't get it. | ||
| We'll choose Chase. | ||
| Well, he wasn't even... | ||
| I moderated the Colorado State Libertarian Convention, and Clint wasn't even one of the... | ||
| Yeah, he wasn't running for presidency. | ||
| They were all... | ||
| He was insane. | ||
| The whole thing was nuts. | ||
| Clint's in Miami. | ||
| Yeah, he wasn't even – he was never even running. | ||
| He was VP. No, Clint was running for VP. Oh, he was running for VP, I guess. | ||
| Yeah, but he wasn't – And then Mike Termott went to Chase Oliver and said, I'll support you if I'm your VP. I'll tell everyone of my voters to support you and then we win. | ||
| And then otherwise it was going to be Reckdenwald and Clint Russell. | ||
| But, you know, it's – I'm convinced – my conspiracy theory is that Angela McArdle has organized everything behind the scenes in a large chair with a velvet back and a cat in her lap stroking it. | ||
| One of those psychic things on her head where she's controlling impulses. | ||
| Sending, you know, and then she's like sending out letters of instruction to her minions and it's like we're going to nominate as a libertarian party Chase Oliver. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So the Mises caucus votes Donald Trump and Trump wins and then puts a libertarian in his cabinet. | ||
| I mean, the only funny thing from the moderating their state thing is Mike Tremont actually said he's like, we're currently polling at zero. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| He's like, we're polling at zero, so let's say some crazy stuff. | ||
| They're the worst candidates the Libertarian Party has ever put up. | ||
| It's true. | ||
| Trump said he's going to put a Libertarian in his cabinet, and I doubt it would be Dave Smith, but that would be great. | ||
| Clint would also be great. | ||
| I hope so. | ||
| They put Dave Smith in, and they go, what's this Legion of Skanks podcast? | ||

| No, I love Siraj. | ||
| I made this video of Hamas thanks to the women of... | ||
| I hear he's gay. | ||
| That's what he says, yeah. | ||
| I think his wife says that too. | ||
| Why is everybody laughing? | ||
| I love Siraj. | ||
| All he does is retweet posts about how gay he is. | ||
| I'm not joking. | ||
| He does. | ||
| Well, as far as I know, he has a lovely beard at home and a new child, so... | ||
| He's a funny guy. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| Where are we at? | ||
| Where are we at? | ||
| We'll grab a Super Chat here. | ||
| Oh, what's this? | ||
| Jacob Stein says, Tim, currently in the hospital, welcoming our firstborn child. | ||
| Please shout out Jasper Wade Stein. | ||
| Also praying for a smooth pregnancy for Allison and your future child. | ||
| Many blessings. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| Congrats, dude. | ||
| Jasper. | ||
| I appreciate it, yeah. | ||
| Should have brought some cigars. | ||
| Well, I'm not going to smoke them. | ||
| You have to. | ||
| Yeah, I can't do it. | ||
| That's what you do for a child. | ||
| No way. | ||
| We're health conscious over here, you know? | ||
| Insurance won't let us. | ||
| Is that a better excuse? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| You seem so deflated when you say health conscious. | ||
| Well, I didn't bring him. | ||
| Oh, I totally would have, you know? | ||
| Oh, no. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Strawberry mochi. | ||
| Very delicious, by the way. | ||
| The Amish are voting for Trump. | ||
| Yeah, it makes sense. | ||
| Are they really? | ||
| I don't know, but it would make sense. | ||
| I saw tons of Amish on the train today. | ||
| On the train? | ||
| Yeah, the train over here from New York. | ||
| Tons of Amish on the trains. | ||
| Well, there's like a bunch of Amish that live near here. | ||
| Yeah, I guess they're coming here. | ||
| They sell pet milk. | ||
| I don't know what language they were speaking. | ||
| Was it Amishian? | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| It was not English, that's for sure. | ||
| It was not any language I had ever heard. | ||
| Amishese, we call it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Amishese. | ||
| And one guy had an amazing beard. | ||
| Maybe they were just speaking Dutch? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I don't know. | |
| Some sort of Dutch something? | ||
| It's actually Amish. | ||
| German. | ||
| Did they say anything like Hagenflagen? | ||
| I overheard it and I go, it's some variation of something. | ||
| Wait, is Hagenflagen German or Swedish? | ||
| Swedish, I think. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Swedish? | |
| Yeah, it's Swedish gibberish. | ||
| Swedish gibberish, yeah. | ||
| There's the meat, the chef on... | ||
|
unidentified
|
They call it Dutch. | |
| What do you actually say? | ||
| Muppets. | ||
| Hagenflagen? | ||
| Swedish gibberish. | ||
| All right, what is this? | ||
| Paul Graham says, it's not fair to call Kamala a potato. | ||
| At least a potato provides value and is useful. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Okay. | ||
| Yeah, you can make alcohol out of potatoes. | ||
| That's true, you can. | ||
| War Machine says they've called Trump Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini. | ||
| I bet they call him Sauron before this is over. | ||
| Mark me. | ||
| They called him Voldemort, too. | ||
| Sauron. | ||
| Yeah, but they're not savvy on the Lord of the Rings. | ||
| They get Harry Potter because it's like, you know, children's Lord of the Rings, you know what I mean? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Seamus had a really funny idea. | ||
| I don't know if I'm going to ruin his joke by saying it, but I'm going to say it anyway. | ||
| It was a bit where it's Harry Potter becomes a right-wing grifter, so he renounces witchcraft and becomes Christian, and then he goes on all these talk shows where he's talking about how witchcraft is real and it's bad, and he's no longer doing witchcraft. | ||
| That's pretty good. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He becomes a right-wing grifter. | |
| Alright, what do we got? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What do we got? | |
| We'll grab some more of these. | ||
| Super Chats, they could call them. | ||
| Sane says, Insane Clown Posse endorsed Kamala. | ||
| Oh, really? | ||
| That's a letdown, man. | ||
| You know that one song they had in the 90s? | ||
| Yeah, I remember they had one song. | ||
| Yeah, I just saw they opened. | ||
| They were the surprise guests at Skank Fest this year, and they opened up Skank Fest. | ||
| Did they really? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like a little private concert. | ||
| I thought they were based. | ||
| I thought they were too. | ||
| That was surprising. | ||
| They might be doing like Costanza. | ||
| They're doing the opposite. | ||
| What if they endorse Kamala and then get invited to do an event for it, but then come out and be like, yo, we were kidding, dude. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Trump, Trump, Trump. | |
| Oh, no, that'd be awesome. | ||
| That'd be great. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Ryan Sarge says, want to talk about scrubbed from the internet? | ||
| Try googling DOD 524 0.01 section 3 subsection 3 article C. Joe Biden Kamala made the law for the president to be able to use military and citizen. | ||
| We did talk about that the other day. | ||
| We did talk about that last night. | ||
| It's been popping up all week. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Mr. | ||
| Nice Bobby says, cheers from Brazil where voting is mandatory. | ||
| Who would win, in your opinion, if voting was mandatory in the U.S.? Kamala Harris. | ||
| No question. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Because you'd get a bunch of people who are like, I don't know. | ||
| A guy on TV said Kamala. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Beep. | ||
| I like my abortions. | ||
| That's not even that. | ||
| Most people, if compelled to vote, would just be like, I don't know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Bah. | ||
| Beep. | ||
| Although, I don't know. | ||
| Trump is a celebrity. | ||
| They might be like, yeah, Trump. | ||
| Yeah, it's a tough one. | ||
| I mean, it is crazy that it's just like basically half the country goes one way, half the country goes the other. | ||
| There's not much daylight. | ||
| It's too crazy for me. | ||
| I don't trust that. | ||
| I don't think it's real. | ||
| We need a landslide. | ||
| I don't mean like an electoral college. | ||
| I mean, we need a sweep. | ||
| We need Trump to win the popular vote, the electoral college, the House, the Senate, etc. | ||
| So that way we can totally rebuke wokeism. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| That's what we need. | ||
| I mean, that's what it will be if that's what happens, yeah. | ||
| Because the message needs to be sent to these people that not only do you lose money, but your ideas are not popular with the American people and you're on the wrong side of history. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mm-hmm. | |
| All right. | ||
| Squanchy says, I love watching your shows. | ||
| Big fan of the morning show, but Monday and Thursday and Sundays are for football. | ||
| Sorry, brother. | ||
| Well, you know, football. | ||
| There was a really funny thing I was watching on Fox and Friends where Lawrence, their morning host, goes to a barbershop and he's asking this black dude, like, he's asking a bunch of black dudes at barbershops about who they're voting for and why. | ||
| And he asked one, he's like, what do you think is the most important issue? | ||
| And the guy goes, sports! | ||
| He's like, I'm kidding, but, you know, he's not. | ||
| Most people don't care and they're probably talking about sports. | ||
| Oh yeah, if you could vote at like a football game... | ||
| Oh, that'd be weird. | ||
| I used to watch so much sports. | ||
| So much football. | ||
| Did you ever go through a phase like that? | ||
| Are you in a phase like that? | ||
| I don't watch a... | ||
| I watch soccer in Canada. | ||
| Hockey? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Go Leafs! | |
| I almost wore my Toronto Maple Leafs jersey, but then I went for my... | ||
| No, no, soccer. | ||
| For my America jersey. | ||
| We play hockey here, you know? | ||
| We're really good at it, and Canada just tries, you know? | ||
| Americans actually are really good at it. | ||
| I think the Olympics, the next Olympics, the NHL players haven't been allowed to play for a while because of contract stuff, so it's been all non-pros, but the pros are coming. | ||
| I think the Americans are going to win. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Is Canada going to get angry? | ||
| They're not going to like it, but the Maple Leafs best player, Austin Matthews, is American. | ||
| Is hockey the Canadian sport because you guys basically live in blocks of ice? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Are you excited for global warming? | ||
| I live in New York, yeah. | ||
| I don't live in Canada. | ||
| Did you flee Canada because it was too cold? | ||
| Uh, no, just the entertainment industry sucks. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh. | |
| I heard that 90% of Canadians live within, like, 50 miles. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, something like that. | ||
| Were you gonna say kilometers? | ||
| I think it's kilometers. | ||
| Of the U.S.? Might be miles. | ||
| 50 miles of the U.S.? Of the U.S. border, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Oh, really? | ||
| Did you see that SNL skit about... | ||
| Yeah, Nate, with Nate Bragazzi. | ||
| Is that who that was, when he's talking about the metric, the measuring system? | ||
| I mean, metric system rules. | ||
| Dude, that was so good. | ||
| Honestly, I know this is unpopular. | ||
| I've lost the U's in all the words I write. | ||
| I don't write flavor with a U, none of color. | ||
| What about metric time? | ||
| Do you use that? | ||
| 80 past 70. | ||
| Metric time, no, but man, I like a good kilometer. | ||
| Let me tell you. | ||
| That's a Simpsons joke. | ||
| I'm just stealing it. | ||
| I have no jokes. | ||
| It's just Family Guy or Simpsons. | ||
| Anybody who knows these things is like, yep, Tim watched TV in the 90s. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Me too, man. | |
| That's also another Family Guy joke, by the way. | ||
| Oh. | ||
| Layers. | ||
| Let's see, what is this? | ||
| Polly Puree says, the best way to vote was voting machines not connected to the internet. | ||
| Least amount of fraud. | ||
| Disagree. | ||
| There was a guy who did a thing where he popped out a drive or whatever and flipped it. | ||
| Like, I forgot what it was. | ||
| He put something in... | ||
| He put a USB, it wasn't a USB or a memory card, or he popped it open and he put data in it, and then it flipped the votes. | ||
| Yeah, for sure they can be compromised. | ||
| Anything that has a motherboard, there's a way to... | ||
| Paper ballots with poll watchers at each location, and when they're counted, you have every single person watching and all agreeing the votes being counted. | ||
| That's it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Seems reasonable. | ||
| Decentralized. | ||
| Let's grab some more Super Chats. | ||
| What have we here? | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| John... | ||
| I can't pronounce... | ||
| I'm not gonna read your last name. | ||
| It's too long. | ||
| Sorry. | ||
| Humans will always find a way to F something up. | ||
| November 5th, I thought Election Day was Christmas Eve. | ||
| When did they change it? | ||
| Was it ever Christmas Eve? | ||
| Not that I'm aware of. | ||
| Yeah, the Constitution says it's like the first Tuesday of November or something, doesn't it? | ||
| You want to look it up? | ||
| I'm not sure. | ||
| It's something like that. | ||
| As far as I know, I don't know if it's in the Constitution. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It was just the first Tuesday of November. | |
| The Constitution says there will be a single day for the election to be held on the... | ||
| I think it's the first Tuesday of November or whatever. | ||
| Is that what it is? | ||
| It must be because it's the first Tuesday of November. | ||
| It'd be crazy if it says something different. | ||
| But it might be... | ||
| And it's not the 5th because the date changes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Yeah, it can't be that. | ||
| I'm looking here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Am I going to find it faster than you? | |
| Maybe. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Maybe I'll find it the fastest. | |
| Statutorial set by the U.S. government as the Tuesday next after the first Monday in November. | ||
| Ah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh. | |
| Okay. | ||
| So not the second Tuesday, necessarily. | ||
| And is this a... | ||
| This was an amendment that did this, or this was the original? | ||
| I'm not sure. | ||
| Tuesday after the first Monday. | ||
| Tuesday after the first Monday. | ||
| How did they come up with that? | ||
| Because of... | ||
| As late as the 8th? | ||
| Because if the month starts on Tuesday, it will not be that day. | ||
| It will then wait a week until the next Tuesday. | ||
| Yeah, because everybody's got to pay rent that day. | ||
| Nobody wants to go vote. | ||
| And also the... | ||
| The reason they set it up like that is because you have to have time to do the harvest and then go and vote. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Because it was done. | ||
| Because they were farmers. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| That's crazy, huh? | ||
| All right. | ||
| What do we hear? | ||
| Oferouk says, serialize the ballots, put serial numbers on them. | ||
| Per state, if they can serialize our money, then do the same in the ballots. | ||
| Don't they? | ||
| They don't do that? | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hmm. | |
| Interesting. | ||
| Even still, if they're serialized, they're not tied to a person. | ||
| Gigi Will says, my mail-in vote in San Diego came with a code so I can check my vote count on the website. | ||
| I just say no mail-in voting. | ||
| You have to vote in person. | ||
| Ballets are blank. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| And you know, one problem with being able to verify on a website is that it might say one thing on the website, but be counted as something different. | ||
| So you really need a verification through somehow if you're going to do that. | ||
| Alright, let's see what we got. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Where are we at with some super chats? | |
| Okay. | ||
| I find amusing we could call elections on the day in the 80s and now 40 plus years later, it's somehow impossible to call the election on the day of. | ||
| Oh, that is so ridiculous. | ||
| He's right. | ||
| That is so not real. | ||
| I mean, a country like Brazil, they have, what, 200 million people? | ||
| They do it. | ||
| No, I think it's like 60. | ||
| Is it 60? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah, I don't think Brazil is 200 million. | ||
| Brazil is huge. | ||
| It is huge. | ||
| I don't think they have that many people. | ||
| I thought it was up there. | ||
| 60? | ||
| What is it? | ||
| I use AI now. | ||
| It's awesome. | ||
| It's like 190 or something. | ||
| 211 million. | ||
| Whoa, really? | ||
| I'm pretty sure they call it... | ||
| Almost 312. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| I'm pretty sure they call it data. | ||
| And more votes. | ||
| I'm not going to stand corrected, actually. | ||
| I'm just going to say that both of your fact checks are wrong. | ||
| AI is wrong and Danny is wrong. | ||
| And I'm just going to choose to be right. | ||
| Yeah, that's fine. | ||
| 60 million, that's it. | ||
| 60 million. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| It's proof. | ||
| You hear that, Brazil? | ||
| I'm pretty sure Rio's like 60 million. | ||
| Alright, RodeoHamster says, Phil, I saw All That Remains open from Megadeth in Cincinnati. | ||
| You guys went so effing hard. | ||
| I loved it. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| I bought your shirt there, too. | ||
| Appreciate it. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| You came back with beast energy. | ||
| Well, I appreciate that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I love it, too. | |
| Thank you. | ||
| All right. | ||
| CodeMonkey says, Ian, you're killing me with the free the code BS. You can have all of the cleanest and fairest code you want. | ||
| All I need is root level cron job script with access to the results, DB, and I can obfuscate TF out of the script. | ||
| Ask me how I know. | ||
| He's implying that he's done it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Are you implying that you've done that? | |
| Yes. | ||
| There's no perfect answer, that's for sure, but it's more secure than paper ballots. | ||
| what's your plan you're just like you say it's more secure than paper ballots so what's your plan what's your plan Well, the plan was paper ballots. | ||
| It's less secure. | ||
| I want more secure. | ||
| I don't know that you can... | ||
| Democrats want less secure. | ||
| And I don't know that you can actually get more secure if it's computerized. | ||
| Blockchain. | ||
| Blockchain is... | ||
| Oh, this is important. | ||
| Mark Prior says, Hi guys, I'm Amish. | ||
| I'm sorry, he says, Hi guys, the Amish speak an older version of German. | ||
| The word for German in German is Deutsch. | ||
| Misheard by English settlers sounds like Dutch, hence Pennsylvania Dutch. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ah, gotcha. | |
| I was trying to tell you guys. | ||
| I thought he was saying he's Amish. | ||
| I'm like, you can't be on YouTube right now. | ||
| They can. | ||
| Can they? | ||
| Bro, you've never gone to Amish country? | ||
| I have when I was, I went to Pennsylvania Amish country when I was like 12. | ||
| Yeah, you go to the supermarkets? | ||
| No, they were all, they were all, we went, we shot like the show, we saw like the show Amish where they didn't have any of this stuff. | ||
| There are, there's Amish people down the road and they're in a building with refrigerators and on their phones and I don't know, people just make assumptions about what Amish people do. | ||
| I thought that was their whole deal. | ||
| Do they drive cars too? | ||
| Yeah, I don't know. | ||
| How do they get deliveries? | ||
| Well, in the Amish, like in Pennsylvania, they all have the horse and... | ||
| Oh, no, they definitely do, because when we would go to the farm stand, they'd drive up to drop off the meats and stuff. | ||
| Oh. | ||
| So are they, like, Jewish? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| Yeah, I was going to say, they're Amish, like, I'm Jewish. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| No, they're Amish, and they wear little bonnets and stuff like that. | ||
| I think it's just the TV that convinces people that Amish people don't use technology or whatever. | ||
| I thought they're not allowed to. | ||
| Yeah, see, exactly. | ||
| It's probably just a movie or something. | ||
| We'll look it up. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| I definitely went to Amish country in Pennsylvania, like, when I was 12, and they were doing none of it. | ||
| But maybe that's just the tourism show thing. | ||
| Yeah, maybe. | ||
| Because there's, like, in Maryland, there's, like, a big Amish shopping center. | ||
| Oh. | ||
| And it's, like, all the kids are in uniform. | ||
| Apparently there's old order Amish. | ||
| They generally reject public grid electricity, but then there's new order Amish that are more... | ||
| Yeah, there's a bunch of kids. | ||
| They're wearing like little Amish outfits with bonnets and stuff. | ||
| Yeah, they were all wearing the bonnets. | ||
| And the little boys are wearing little button-ups and suits or like pants or whatever. | ||
| I saw them. | ||
| But you walk in and there's computers and there's cars and you buy food and they farm and stuff. | ||
| But they say that even the Old Order Amish generally will have alternate power sources. | ||
| They're just not tied to the grid. | ||
| Like generators, propane, solar panels, wind power. | ||
| And they're probably just a lot happier all the time. | ||
| Wow, they're just off-grid. | ||
| That's cool. | ||
| I bet they're alive. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| I actually was thinking that in the train station today when I was waiting for the train. | ||
| I saw the Amish, and everybody was on their phones, and they were all just talking to each other. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Were they? | |
| Yeah, and I was probably better. | ||
| I can give you one reason why I guarantee they're happier than other people on average, and it's because they have chickens. | ||
| I'm not kidding. | ||
| There's that meme I told you about where guys like my neighbors got chickens and then they woke me up in the morning and they were doing weird little chicken things and making chicken noises and I just started laughing and now I feel good and my days are better because I wake up. | ||
| Thank you, chickens. | ||
| It's like, bro, you can't be depressed while you're looking at chickens. | ||
| You're lying to yourself when you do. | ||
| Only that they're in cages. | ||
| I get sad. | ||
| But you can let them out and they can walk around. | ||
| You just gotta make sure you keep the bad ones away, like the coyotes and stuff. | ||
| But if you're sad, down, or feeling depressed or whatever, and you look at chickens, you're gonna laugh. | ||
| They're such dumb little... | ||
| Chase after them and they don't run that fast. | ||
| I think we should turn that into a song on the after show. | ||
| Let's do it. | ||
| Chickens will make you laugh. | ||
| I wrote a Chicken City song. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We should pump it out. | |
| That was a good one. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then we'll make a music video of Danny singing it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes! | |
| Let's do it. | ||
| Zandrux says, give the Dems some credit. | ||
| The need for abortions is likely to increase with the number of unverified individuals allowed into the country. | ||
| Yikes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Jeez. | |
| A little dark, huh? | ||
| Alright. | ||
| What do we got here? | ||
| People wanting me to do Tim Castile from the delivery room? | ||

Okay. | |
| All right. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Trucker Wall says, Phil, what should the military truckers, traveling nurses, doctors, emergency response personnel, pilots, train conductors, etc. | ||
| do without absentee ballots? | ||
| Millions would be disenfranchised. | ||
| That's why I said that it should be a holiday. | ||
