| Donald Trump is truly a man of the people. | ||
| He got a garbage truck and he drove up in it to a rally. | ||
| He did it in honor of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. | ||
| He actually said this because they called his supporters garbage or at least Joe Biden did. | ||
| The White House then and they're being accused of violating the Presidential Records Act added an apostrophe that was so egregious to the record That even Jessica Tarlov on The Five said that apostrophe is doing a lot of heavy lifting. | ||
| What happened? | ||
| Joe Biden yesterday said, the only garbage I see is his supporters. | ||
| Then he says, like, his derision of Latinos is unconscionable or whatever. | ||
| They added to the transcript an apostrophe in supporters as if he was trying to say in some strange run-on sentence that it was Tony Hinchcliffe who was garbage. | ||
| No, Joe Biden was calling all Trump supporters garbage. | ||
| So now Donald Trump is driving around in a garbage truck. | ||
| Vivek Ramaswamy is as well. | ||
| The media is desperately trying to cover this up. | ||
| Kamala Harris claims they haven't lost a single voter over calling Trump's voters garbage. | ||
| So... | ||
| Sure, I guess. | ||
| We'll talk about that. | ||
| Then, of course, we've got a lot of the polling stuff to go through. | ||
| And we have a couple of other really interesting stories. | ||

| More conservatives need to stand up and stop tolerating this psychotic psychobabble. | ||
| We're going to talk about all that stuff, my friends. | ||

| What do you think? | ||
| We've been talking about this. | ||

|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah. | |
| Seamus is here. | ||
| I'm back. | ||
| I'm back. | ||
| Also do the emotional intelligence video. | ||
| I think we played it on air a while back. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We did. | |
| Oh, you're referencing our video. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| We were talking about emotion too. | ||
| That crushed me. | ||
| I was dying. | ||
| It's so good. | ||
| About women being more emotionally intelligent. | ||
| It's true. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's true. | |
| They are. | ||
| I'm Seamus Coughlin. | ||
| I create cartoons. | ||
| You know what another one's good? | ||
| If you look on the internet, when they have strong women content, all it means is they're rude. | ||
| It's hilarious. | ||
| That's so real. | ||
| Sorry to interrupt. | ||
| No, no, no, you're good. | ||
| There would be a thing where there was a girl and she was like, it's a strong woman content and she basically was saying that she went on a date with, or she had a boyfriend and she went to his parents' house and they started talking about politics and religion and she told them to like F off. | ||
| It's like you're just not a kind person. | ||
| And then storms off and she was posting like, can you believe this? | ||
| And I was like, dude, if I was ever dating a girl, went to her parents' house, they told me their religion, I told them to F off. | ||
| That would be the quietest ride home in the history of time. | ||
| Dude, it's totally wild. | ||
| And then there's another kind where they like, well, come on. | ||
| You definitely wouldn't have people on the internet being like, you're a king. | ||
| And that was Seamus. | ||
| Yeah, hold on. | ||
| Freedom Tunes. | ||
| I make cartoons on a channel called Freedom Tunes, and we just released a video yesterday about what Trump says, what an anonymous source is around, and how he treats anonymous sources. | ||
| I think you guys will like it. | ||
| People are really enjoying it. | ||
| And we're releasing a cartoon tomorrow about Doug, about Kamala's husband Doug, and some of the allegations that have been made against him. | ||
| So that one should be fun. | ||
| Also, sex beast. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Also joining us tonight is the plucky comedy relief. | ||
| Ian Crosland. | ||
| Well, howdy doody, Tim. | ||
| Yeah, actually, that's true. | ||
| Plucky, thanks for pointing that out. | ||
| I don't know what Plucky means. | ||
| I'm prepping a giga stream. | ||
| I'm going to be doing Mass Effect, so if you guys like video games and you want to watch, come join me at Ian Crosland. | ||
| What's a giga stream? | ||
| It's 12 hours. | ||
| I'm going to be streaming so hard for so long with so much cash. | ||
| So you're doing a lot of prep before that? | ||
| Yeah, I'm gonna get ready. | ||
| I'll be walking around the house thinking about it. | ||
| It's gonna be deep, dude. | ||
| A lot of Mountain Dew. | ||
| Gonna brew a lot of... | ||
| None of the crappy... | ||
| I used to do a lot of Mountain Dew. | ||
| Like, I'd get a case to drink like 12, 14 cans of Mountain Dew. | ||
| Like, when I do things, I do them to the extreme. | ||
| So this will be part and parcel. | ||
| But come check it out at Ian Crossland. | ||
| It'll be on YouTube and Twitch. | ||
| Phil's here. | ||
| I am Phil Labonte, the lead singer of the heavy metal band, All That Remains. | ||
| I'm an anti-communist and a counter-revolutionary. | ||
| Let's go! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah! | |
| Here we go. | ||
| From the post-millennial breaking, Trump does a ride-along with Wisconsin garbage men after Biden calls his supporters garbage. | ||
| I thought they were real Americans now. | ||
| Real Americans. | ||
| On Wednesday, former President Trump rode along with the sanitation crew in Wisconsin in reference to Biden's recent remarks. | ||
| I am so impressed with how quickly they pulled this together. | ||
| Check out this clip. | ||
|
unidentified
|
How do you like my garbage truck? | |
| This truck is in honor of Kamala and Joe Biden. | ||
| Barron was like, Dad, tomorrow, you gotta get in a garbage truck. | ||
| Look at this, look at this. | ||
| Also, he's on his private plane wearing his garbage truck outfit with his tie on. | ||
| I put a picture of him at a rally wearing that. | ||
| He's giving a speech in the vest. | ||
| Have you seen this article about it? | ||
| Trump flaunts his love for organized crime with ties to waste management. | ||
| Is that Babylon D? I wrote that. | ||
| Beautiful. | ||
| That's beautiful. | ||
| Here you go. | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| Look at this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Everybody, this is Donald Trump and 250 million people are not garbage. | |
| He's just like, I locked in the sanitation worker boat. | ||
| 250 million people, the hands go out. | ||
| It's great. | ||
| So Vivek Ramaswamy did the same thing. | ||
| Who did it first, him or Trump? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Yeah, steal his look. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Let's do it, man. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, he actually, Vivek actually did the work. | |
| That's so legit. | ||
| Good for them. | ||
| He's a half-billionaire. | ||
| He's worth $500 million. | ||
| These garbage men make more money than you think. | ||
| That's $100K your job. | ||
| Those guys are doing okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right, sweet. | |
| Lift open. | ||
| And then what are we doing? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Pull them both out. | |
| Pull them both out. | ||
| Look at that. | ||
| Smash it in. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| Real Americans doing real American work. | ||
| We are not garbage. | ||
| We're taking out the garbage. | ||
| And you know what's really funny is I kind of think with this, you know, Joe Biden called Trump supporters garbage. | ||
| I swear he's sabotaging her. | ||
| You think that Joe Biden right now is being salty off the reservation now? | ||
| He's just letting it fly? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So apparently there's some leaks. | ||
| And take it with a grain of salt. | ||
| I've heard this also, though. | ||
| The leaks where Biden's been like, they're suckers and losers. | ||
| He said something like, they're all a bunch of suckers. | ||
| They're going to lose now. | ||
| Blah, blah, blah. | ||
| I should have been in this race. | ||
| They betrayed me. | ||
| Things like that. | ||
| There's a New York Times article that just came out. | ||
| Was Joe Biden actually the better candidate? | ||
| No. | ||
| Yeah, it's bad. | ||
| People could be pushing him out. | ||
| I've heard rumors that actually the people in the White House and Kamala Harris' staff hate each other. | ||
| Joe Biden didn't trust her. | ||
| Capulets and the Montagues? | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| But Biden didn't believe in her. | ||
| He didn't believe that she could do the job. | ||
| He didn't believe that she'd be able to run an effective campaign. | ||
| Honestly, if she does manage to pull it out, it's only because the American people didn't get to know her. | ||
| It's because they managed to avoid getting her in front of people. | ||
| Like, she refused to do the Joe Rogan podcast the way that Rogan normally does it because she can't stand up to the scrutiny of having a conversation. | ||
| I couldn't find it on New York Times, but the Hill has. | ||
| What if Joe Biden was the better candidate? | ||
| Oh, maybe it was the Hill, yeah. | ||
| And he was. | ||
| That is true. | ||
| And that's bad because he's not a good candidate at all. | ||
| It's interesting that articles like this are coming out where it's a little bit already. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, at some point they're going to have to admit it to themselves that she's not a good candidate at all. | ||
| But with Joe, there have been moments where I felt maybe he's trying to sabotage her. | ||
| I even did a cartoon about it. | ||
| But ultimately with this particular gaffe, it just was too off the cuff. | ||
| I don't think this was a 5D challenge. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| It was clearly Biden stumbling over his words. | ||
| And part of what I think is so funny about him is he just says and does things that aren't normal for any president. | ||
| And he thinks because Trump came before him and was kind of brash that he can get away with it, but he can't. | ||
| It doesn't come off as funny. | ||
| It just comes off as mean when Biden does it. | ||
| Are you talking about supporting the KK member, Byrd, when he was... | ||
| No, that is also a fair point. | ||
| But just, like, calling American citizens garbage is crazy. | ||
| Biden objectively has been a little funner in the last little while. | ||
| At the end of his campaign, he has been a little bit funner. | ||
| He put a MAGA hat on. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| It works a little bit for him. | ||
| He's doing funny bits. | ||
| Yeah, he called Trump supporters garbage because he doesn't care anymore. | ||
| Did you see the Axios? | ||
| I think it was Axios leaks where they said that he keeps pitching, campaigning with Kamala, but they keep ignoring him. | ||
| Oh my gosh, that's hilarious. | ||
| So he said he was on the beach? | ||
| On the what? | ||
| On the beach? | ||
| Like, he takes a lot of beach days. | ||
| No, he was going to Pittsburgh. | ||
| He said that he's going to go campaign. | ||
| He wants to campaign in PA for Kamala Harris. | ||
| They ignored him. | ||
| So then he said he's going to go campaign solo in Pittsburgh, and they were like, please, Joe, don't do this. | ||
| Harris said As if, like, he's saying, like, I'm gonna go campaign for you, and they're like, no, no, stop, don't. | ||
| The Harris campaign last week, Harris campaign put out a list of the surrogates that were gonna be out speaking on her behalf that weekend, and Joe Biden was not on the list. | ||
| He's the president. | ||
| If they actually got along, and they actually had a good relationship... | ||
| How is he not at the rally? | ||
| Always would want the president. | ||
| You always want that. | ||
| The president is... | ||
| Up until Joe Biden, in this particular case, the president has been the most powerful person in the world. | ||
| They bring the bully puppet that only the president has. | ||
| Which is like, listen, Joe, you can do 30 seconds between Eminem and Obama. | ||
| They won't even talk about him. | ||
| And, you know, they won't even let him go out and address her crowds, which is, it speaks volumes about the conference. | ||
| Well, I guess part of it is they're, like, trying to separate her from him, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So it doesn't help for him to be there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I also think part of it is that they know that he's going to stumble around and gaffe and look really bad if he does anything publicly. | ||
| I think they're just afraid of letting him be seen. | ||
| But doesn't that give her more credibility? | ||
| It's a good idea that she took his place? | ||
| Well, no, because it's like, why hasn't she invoked the 25th Amendment? | ||
| And why has she lied to us about his national state? | ||
| I mean, maybe, but I feel like that question's always present, whether or not he's on stage gaffing or not. | ||
| I feel like everybody on the conservative side has asked that question. | ||
| Everyone on the conservative side makes the point. | ||
| Look, she should have. | ||
| It's not an option for the vice president. | ||
| It is their obligation to invoke the 25th Amendment if the president can't. | ||
| But she knew that the only way that she could become the candidate... | ||
| Was to not invoke the 25th Amendment and do it after, so that way they had a short amount of time so they could install her as opposed to having an actual nomination. | ||
| I get what you're saying. | ||
| I just think it's a bad look for her. | ||
| I think her campaign's embarrassed by him. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| I don't even know if it's bad blood or if it's just them being really mad. | ||
| Well, this is them desperately trying to... | ||
| So here's why I say sabotage. | ||
| Do you think she should have done the Rogan podcast? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Well, I mean, she can't handle it. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, it's like, should she? | ||
| If she could do it, yes. | ||
| I think she should have. | ||
| It is a little wild the extent to which podcasts have become, you know, so important to this election. | ||
| The thing is, because younger people want to hear a real conversation. | ||
| Agreed. | ||
| And so, I mean, that's why I say what I love the most about the Trump-Rogan podcast is when they talked about fighting. | ||
| Because that was the one time it really felt like two dudes just hanging out. | ||
| A lot of the earlier stuff in the Rogan show was very political, asking questions. | ||
| What was it like? | ||
| What did you think was going to happen? | ||
| Then when they were talking about fighters, it was like everything tuned out and these were two guys that were into boxing and MMA talking about it. | ||
| Yeah, I guess that's with podcasts. | ||
| You can do all this stuff in one episode. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| It can't be overstated that the people that she needs to attract are Joe Rogan's audience. | ||
| Everybody knows that if you're worried about abortion, Kamala Harris is the one you're going to vote for. | ||
| Everybody knows. | ||
| She doesn't have to go out there and continue to hammer home abortion. | ||
| Everyone that is concerned about having abortion be legal... | ||
| But if you make that argument, couldn't you make that argument for Trump where you're like, you should be doing call her daddy and stuff? | ||
| Uh, I mean, maybe. | ||
| I think you could, maybe. | ||
| Probably not as much of an option. | ||
| No, no, no, no, hold on, hold on. | ||
| He did go to the National Association of Black Journalists. | ||
| Yes, you're right, he has done that stuff. | ||
| And it was amazing. | ||
| It was great. | ||
| Do you remember that? | ||
| Yeah, I do. | ||
| When he was just, like, snapping back at him, like, how rude. | ||
| He's gone into the Dragon's Den a lot more, yeah. | ||
| Multiple times. | ||
| But when he was at the National Association of Black Journalists. | ||
| When his own debates were a bit of a Dragon's Den. | ||
| He gets this attack line, these questions that are insulting, and he goes, well, I'll start by saying how rude. | ||
| I've never been asked such rude questions. | ||
| And he doesn't care. | ||
| He's like, I'm just going to say it. | ||
| People like him. | ||
| That's why they like him. | ||
| It's not like Rogan would be some attack interview anyway. | ||
| It would be the exact same treatment as Trump. | ||
| But the truth is on Rogan's side and Trump's side. | ||
| Kamala Harris, not so much. | ||
| I retweeted the interaction between Sanjay Gupta and Joe Rogan after the COVID stuff, when he was confronting Sanjay Gupta about the way that CNN doctored the video of Rogan, how they said that he was taking horse medicine, and it was very confrontational. | ||
| And I can imagine that... | ||
| Being the case with Kamala Harris. | ||
| Now, obviously, it wouldn't be quite as personal because they were attacking Joe. | ||
| CNN was attacking Joe, and so he was looking at Sanjay Gupta as the representative of CNN. But he pushed back on things that Trump said, and that's his M.O. So if Kamala Harris says something, she might try to do the same thing that she did with Bret Baier when she was like, you know what I mean. | ||
| And Bret Baier was like, no, I don't. | ||
| I'm not going to throw you a line. | ||
| You have to get out of this yourself. | ||
| And that's probably how Rogan would be as well. | ||
| He might be kind, he might be polite, but he's still going to be like, look, if you can't answer it, that's your problem, not mine. | ||
| Well, also, I mean, she and her campaign know that she can't speak for three hours straight without making a complete and total fool out of herself. | ||
| She just trails off. | ||
| She doesn't know what she's saying. | ||
| None of her talking points are prepared. | ||
| She has to look at a teleprompter when she does deliver any opinion that appears to have any level of insight. | ||
| It's clearly rehearsed. | ||
| So the whole reason for them making these demands is because they knew that Joe wasn't going to acquiesce and they wanted an excuse for her to not do the show. | ||
| And I think the way her campaign... | ||
| The other side of that is they might not realize the leverage has changed where you go, this isn't a bunch of streamers. | ||
| They wanted to say no, but they can't. | ||
| So they created impossible terms that Joe could not agree to so they can say, now the media is reporting Joe Rogan turned her down. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| That is possible, but they also might, in addition to that, be like, well, he'll agree to our terms. | ||
| She flew to call her daddy. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| She flew to Call Her Daddy? | ||
| Yeah, she went on set for Call Her Daddy, but when it came to Joe Rogan, she says... | ||
| And also Shannon Sharp. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| And both of those are smaller. | ||
| And Breakfast Club. | ||
| Yeah, that's a good point. | ||
| Those are way smaller. | ||
| She flew to all of them, but when it came to Rogan, she said, you come to me. | ||
| And only do an hour-long show. | ||
| And Joe was like, that's not the show. | ||
| I don't do that. | ||
| Her support of Biden is disingenuous. | ||
| I think if she had invoked the 25th Amendment, taken over in command, she'd be a legit candidate right now. | ||
| Because Trump... | ||
| Rogan would ask her about Biden's mental state and why she doesn't just talk about it openly. | ||
| And she'd be like, she couldn't. | ||
| She's put herself in a position where she's not able to admit that he's gone frail. | ||
| And it's a very awkward place for her to be, pretending like he doesn't exist. | ||
| Wouldn't you... | ||
| Let me pull this story from the Daily Wire. | ||
| I gave them an open invitation. | ||
| Joe Rogan opens up more about potential Kamala interview. | ||
| She had an opportunity to come here when she was in Texas. | ||
| It's even worse than people realize. | ||
| Rogan has opened up more about Vice President Harris's potential interview on Wednesday during the Joe Rogan Experience podcast. | ||
| He said that it was Harris's team who first reached out to him about appearing on his show after her campaign learned that Trump was coming on. | ||
| Quote, she had an opportunity to come here when she was in Texas, and I literally gave them an open invitation, Rogan explained, hitting back at claims about he was somehow being a diva. | ||
| Harris held a rally in Texas last Friday with both Willie Nelson and Beyonce. | ||
| I said, anytime. | ||
| If she's at 10 o'clock, we'll come back here at 10 o'clock. | ||
| I'll do it at 9 in the morning. | ||
| I'll do it at 10 p.m. | ||
| I'll do it at midnight if she's up and she wants to drink a Red Bull effing party on. | ||
| So their camp reached out to me, so I said, great, I would love to talk to her. | ||
| But it was very difficult to tie it down. | ||
| They wanted to travel and see the thing is, if I go somewhere, then there's going to be other people in the room, and they want to control a lot of things. | ||
| I'm sure, according to the Brett Baier interview on Fox, that's a distraction. | ||
| The podcast host said his goal was simply sit down across the table from Harris and have a conversation. | ||
| You find out things about people, you get a sense of them, at least a real sense. | ||
| I just want to talk to you. | ||
| Who the F are you? | ||
| On Tuesday, Rogan broke his silence about trying to line up the interview. | ||
| For the record, Harris's campaign is not passed on doing the podcast. | ||
| They offered a date for Tuesday, but I would have had to travel to her, and they only wanted to do an hour. | ||
| Well, you wanted to give him the influencer deal, where you all come in and get an hour. | ||
| This proves it as far as I'm concerned. | ||
| He said... | ||
| You're in Texas. | ||
| Come whenever and I will be here. | ||
| Midnight, 2 a.m., whatever you want to do. | ||
| And they still said no. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And her fans and advocates and people who are trying to cope, they're saying that Joe Rogan is the person who needs Kamala on his podcast as opposed to Kamala needing to do his podcast in order to reach a larger audience. | ||
| They're making these statements saying things like, she's the vice president of the United States and she's running for president. | ||
| president, you should be traveling to her and making all of these exceptions, even though he didn't make any exceptions for Trump. | ||
| And this just goes to show what the MO of the Harris campaign has been the entire time when media doesn't give us special treatment. | ||
| We are being persecuted in some way. | ||
| And I'll just be honest, it comes off as very finger wagging, shrill and bossy. | ||
| It's not a good look. | ||
| I just want to show the current charitable rankings for Joe Rogan. | ||
| We did this yesterday, but Ryan, would you like to read the current rankings for Joe Rogan in numerical order? | ||
| Yeah, so he's number one, number one, number 97, number one, 455, number one. | ||
|
unidentified
|
For those that are listening, it's literally just one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one. | |
| Honestly, I think... | ||
| Joe Rogan is number one across the board and consistently is. | ||
| You make a good point, though. | ||
| If she's going to fly to Shannon Sharp, you can fly to Rogan. | ||
| She's the candidate for people that can't see behind the curtain, that don't understand what a deep state is. | ||
| She's the candidate, and Rogan is the guy that pulls the curtain back. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| And she knows that. | ||
| Her advisors are telling her that. | ||
| They're like, you're going to be laid bare if you go there. | ||
| I'm just imagining her, you know, she's pulling the levers, and there's the giant floating Kamala head being like, what are you doing? | ||
| Don't look back here! | ||
| And Joe is the guy who's going to... | ||
| Within 20 minutes. | ||
| I mean, look, if she did a three-hour-long sit-down interview with anyone, especially Joe Rogan, I think it would be hilarious, and it would be very bad for her campaign. | ||
| It's obvious why they're not doing this. | ||
| I mean, you asked earlier, should she have done this? | ||
| From her perspective and her campaign's perspective, absolutely not. | ||
| But I would have loved to see it. | ||
| I would have thought it would have been hilarious. | ||
| Ryan, who do you think is going to win? | ||
| It seems like you could never know, but it seems like right now the energy, it seems Trump is probably a little ahead. | ||
| You live in New York? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And you're walking around New York? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And you go to a bodega's and buy sandwiches? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| What's the sense you get from just regular people everywhere when you walk around? | ||
| Like, are there Trump flags in New York or nothing? | ||
| Oh, downtown New York, not a lot of Trump flags. | ||
| Philly downtown has Trump flags. | ||
| But you can say it's far more acceptable for people to be Trump guys right now. | ||
| You can see Trump flags. | ||
| You would never see that when it would get ripped down. | ||
| I mean, I would say... | ||
| But then again, going into the 2016 election last time... | ||
| as crazy until after he won, right? | ||
| So, like, I think a lot of times that gets a little murky. | ||
| But if you remember, like, before the election, yes, it was kind of more like it is right now. | ||
| Then when he won, it went full psycho. | ||
| I think after the rally where you got, like, a taste of what 2016 looks like, me and Danny used to have a joke where we go, if the Democrats were smart, they'd have a video of, like, Robert De Niro flipping out and all your favorite artists flipping out. | ||
| And they go, is this what you want again? | ||
| You want that again? | ||
| Every one of your favorite movie stars throwing a hissy face? | ||
| I need you to promise me something. | ||
| What are we looking at? | ||
| I need you to promise me that you are going to have, I don't know, a webcam or something pointed out your window. | ||
| I know you're not going to be in New York, but make sure Danny's phone is charged. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| On November 6th, we gotta get the footage, you know what I mean? | ||
| Of the people dropping to their knees and screaming no at the sky and pounding on the ground. | ||
| I would be very sad if Trump wins and we don't get that footage. | ||
| It feels like that's gonna happen. | ||
| I mean, what do you think happens if he loses? | ||
| I don't know, man. | ||
| That's what I mean. | ||
| People are hyped up right now. | ||
| Well, I mean, look, it's particularly scary considering that all of the odds right now, national popular polling, aggregate favoring Trump, direction of the country favoring a challenger party. | ||
| Honestly, just a normal vibe check, it feels like. | ||
| Normal vibe check, walking around, that's what I'm saying, like, walking on the street. | ||
| If Trump loses right now with this kind of energy levels, people are going to... | ||
| Lose their minds. | ||
| I saw a disturbing article from the, what was this, the Mail Online, ABC Mistakingly Airs Election Results. | ||
| We'll get to that one for sure. | ||
| That we're going to pull this article. | ||
| It's freakish. | ||
| If you look at, like, in comedy and music and everything, a lot of times there's, um... | ||
| There'll be an artist or something that the industry is really trying to make happen, right? | ||
| And like Megan Thee Stallion is like a good example where you go, and then after all said and done, you go, she's still big, but it didn't really sell the way. | ||
| You know, there's a lot of comedians like that where you go, she feels a little like that where they go, she got jammed down your throat. | ||
| It's sort of, it works, but it doesn't, you can't, it's hard to fake the like real actual where for whatever reason, people just like gravitated towards loving this person. | ||
| Let me look at this song real quick. | ||
| I'm going to pull up a song and give you an example of this. | ||
| Katy Perry, Dark Horse, featuring Juicy J. Which of those two people is more famous? | ||
| No question, Katy Perry. | ||
| They put Juicy J in there because they're trying to launch a new artist. | ||
| They're trying to make him happen. | ||
| Yeah, and I'm pretty sure Juicy J does fairly well, but he's not Katy Perry. | ||
| Tapped into what Juicy J is up to? | ||
| You've never heard of him before? | ||
| Isn't Juicy J from 3-6 Mafia? | ||
| I'm pretty sure he's, like, well-known. | ||
| He's just not Katy Perry, right? | ||
| So they consistently would try to launch new artists off of the back of a popular big song with a big artist. | ||
| And every now and then it sticks, you know? | ||
| Right. | ||
| Like Puff Daddy. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You'll get someone big. | ||
| And then Diddy goes on to have accusations about trafficking. | ||
| Weighing women before they get into his parties. | ||
| I hear their scales in the house. | ||
| That's the new thing, is that he... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Is that real? | |
| Well, the man didn't have all bad ideas. | ||
| So he puts it, this is what they said, he put a scale outside the party and the, you know, prostitutes, I guess, like, you know, like OnlyFansos. | ||
| He would have them come in and they'd have to step on the scale. | ||
| And if they were over 140, he would go say... | ||
| I wonder if it was attached to an app. | ||
| Like an app that he had on his phone. | ||
| Uh-huh. | ||
| Keeping tabs. | ||
| Anyway, what were we talking about? | ||
| Elections? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Oh, Kamala Harris. | ||
| Oh, launching people. | ||
| Right, so Joe Biden is like, if they took, I don't know, NXS or something, or Guns N' Roses, if they were big... | ||
| And then you attach some lesser-known artists that no one ever wanted to hear, no one ever bought products for, and then they said, this is the new lead singer. | ||
| And they were pretty good at it before the internet, just being like, you don't even notice before you know it. | ||
| You're like, that guy's huge. | ||
| You're like, wait, is he? | ||
| They're just telling me he's huge. | ||
| Well, I mean, we were better at it before, but I feel like it's harder to pull off right now. | ||
| She got less than 1% of the popular vote in 2020. | ||
| She was like the least... | ||
| Successful candidate who ran in the Democratic Party. | ||
| Yeah, whereas like him or love, obviously Trump's, you know, has a love-hate thing where people connect with him. | ||
| She got zero delegates and she had to quit before she went in, before she did the California vote because if she got no... | ||
| Delegates out of California, her entire political career would be over. | ||
| If you can't win your own state, if you're running for president and you can't win your own state when it comes to just the primaries, you're over. | ||
| You will not get another shot. | ||
| No one's going to give you any money. | ||
| The donors will completely and totally blackball you. | ||
| So she had to drop out in order to not make that decision. | ||
| That had that bad mark on her record. | ||
| If she hadn't, she wouldn't even be... | ||
| She would never have been selected as the vice president. | ||
| It was basically the Biden administration featuring Kamala Harris. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So that's what it feels like. | ||
| That's what the vibe feels like. | ||
| And I want to clarify this too. | ||
| Like, Juicy J is a known guy. | ||
| Like, you're right. | ||
| He's the 36 Mafia. | ||
| He's been here for a long time. | ||
| They attach him to Katy Perry, a mega pop star, because they want to raise his profile. | ||
| He never reaches that level of Katy Perry, but they're trying to build brands. | ||
| It's marketing. | ||
| It's advertising. | ||
| This is what they tried doing with Kamala Harris, thinking they could just attach this politician who's been in office in various – they thought – I guess it's like you're saying with the internet. | ||
| They thought we could just take a Democrat, attach him to a party, and then people will get behind it. | ||
| They basically were like, let's just use her. | ||
| We'll get a bunch of black people and women to vote for Biden. | ||
| They didn't even talk about her during the Biden administration. | ||
| He never acknowledged her. | ||
| He never talked about her. | ||
| They had her under the rug. | ||
| They used her to get votes. | ||
| And now they're trying to force her down the hallway, and she's like, ah! | ||
| She clearly does not want to do this. | ||
| It's like, if you were to sit down with Joe Rogan, like I was mentioning when Trump and Rogan talk fighting, you can tell these are two guys actually having a conversation. | ||
| She has nothing to talk about. | ||
| Unless her passion's in like, I really like keeping people in prison to use for slave labor to fight wildfires in California. | ||
| Venn diagrams. | ||
| Her passion is Venn diagrams too. | ||
| She loves talking about that. | ||
| Yeah, she goes, I love Venn diagrams. | ||
| There's like five clips of her out there gushing about Venn diagrams. | ||
| And yellow school buses. | ||
| That's another one. | ||
| Yo, that clip where she says, shout your own name. | ||
| That's hysterical! | ||
| Did you see that, Ryan? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| She's like, oh, I want you to shout your own name. | ||
| And everyone's like, what? | ||
| Incredible Michael Scott energy right there. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Comedy's hard. | ||
| I'm not going to judge her too hard on that. | ||
| Trump's good at the rally. | ||
| She's definitely got her destroyed in the rally department. | ||
| Well, I guess the sad thing is she wasn't trying to be funny. | ||
| That's what's really sad about it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Trump is funny. | ||
| Have you been at Trump rally before? | ||
| No. | ||
| It's stand-up. | ||
| I've seen them, though. | ||
| I've been saying this since 2015. | ||
| He's weaving. | ||
| He's weaving. | ||
| There was one rally where he's like, he's standing there and he's like, the lights! | ||
| They're making me orange! | ||
| It's the lights! | ||
| It's not my fault! | ||
| And everyone's laughing. | ||
| I got invited to the White House. | ||
| It was a social media summit. | ||
| I'm like, this is going to be very important. | ||
| We're going to talk to the president about social media issues. | ||
| And he did stand-up for an hour. | ||
| He knows it, too. | ||
| He knows that he's like an anomaly, that he's never had an entertainer. | ||
| He loves it, eh? | ||
| Once he's president, he's going to hate the fact that he can't do his rallies anymore. | ||
| But dude, it's legit stand-up. | ||
| He's standing up there and he's like, you know, there's this guy. | ||
| And he'll name a guy and be like, smells bad, that guy. | ||
| But anyway, you don't say that. | ||
| Everyone's laughing. | ||
| It's slightly not stand-up, but you can recognize it. | ||
| He's just doing comedy. | ||
| That's why, at a recent rally, he said to all the people in the stands... | ||
| This is coming to a close. | ||
| It's going to be the end, and I just want to say I love all of you. | ||
| And what I got from that is he's saying it's coming to an end. | ||
| He loves the campaign. | ||
| It's his favorite thing, probably. | ||
| I don't think he cares about—emotionally, I don't think he's excited to be a president. | ||
| He's excited to be before all the people cheering for him. | ||
| He loves it. | ||
| I think that's probably true. | ||
| I mean, he's an entertainer. | ||
| This is a point that Dave Smith makes. | ||
| I'll quote him here. | ||
| But he's talking about just how brilliant Trump has been at building brands and how he's become a billionaire in many ways just off of his public persona and his image. | ||
| And the point Dave Smith makes is, you know, Donald Trump is the most famous real estate developer you know. | ||
| Who's the second most famous real estate developer you know? | ||
| Grant Cardone. | ||
| Oh my gosh, you had one right there. | ||
| Dave Smith, you're wrong and I shouldn't have quoted you. | ||
| But for most people, there's not a second person. | ||
| Trump just created this entire public persona for himself. | ||
| Yeah, you didn't really know the names of developers. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| It wasn't like singers or... | ||
| King of England. | ||
| And that's pre-influencers. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Now they're all have to be influencers. | ||
| Influencer culture. | ||
| And so he's very good at entertaining. | ||
| He's very good at getting a crowd's attention. | ||
| And I mentioned this before. | ||
| It's kind of the difference between someone who has to learn how to become entertaining in the private sphere versus a politician who is focus grouped and who a bunch of donors decided would be good and who has speech rights. | ||
| It's a lot easier to make a funny guy good at editing than it is to make an editor good at being funny. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| I want to jump to this video. | ||
| So speaking of comedy routines, what's the steel man for her? | ||
| According to you, Tim. | ||
| Sorry to interrupt. | ||
| Steel man for what? | ||
| Like, what's the steel man for if she wins? | ||
| Is it that people went in, there's a lot of bubbling hate against Trump underneath? | ||
| Like, if she wins, what does that look like? | ||
| Or is it you just think it's not even on the table? | ||
| Democrat shadow campaign. | ||
| If Kamala wins, so back in 2020, there were a few factors that I considered. | ||
| I did not predict the procedural efforts Democrats were taking, so I got that wrong. | ||
| I was correct when I said Trump's support was increasing, and I don't see how he could lose. | ||
| I was wrong about that. | ||
| This is the first time, I believe it's the first time in U.S. history where a president, a sitting president, got more votes and still lost. | ||
| Usually when presidents lose their second term, it's because they got less votes. | ||
| Trump improved. | ||
| He won all the bellwethers but still lost. | ||
| Before the election, there were a few factors. | ||
| One, people kept saying the enthusiasm for Trump is through the roof, but the enthusiasm for Biden is non-existent. | ||
| What they didn't factor in, I told Bannon this twice, the enthusiasm against Trump in the polls was higher than enthusiasm for Trump. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| What Gallup tracked, going back to 1948, since 1952, they have accurately, inadvertently predicted who will win. | ||
| They don't predict it. | ||
| They just say... | ||
| They poll the American people, what do you think is the most important issue right now, and which party do you think is better on solving that problem? | ||
| Since 1952, the party that was favored for the issue won. | ||
| This time around, Gallup did the same poll. | ||
| The economy and immigration— They've been right since 1952? | ||
| 1952. | ||
| What a record. | ||
| But they're not predicting anything. | ||
| All they're doing is they're saying— What is the biggest issue? | ||
| And they'll say, like, war, like during Vietnam. | ||
| Which party do you think will do a better job at playing the war? | ||
| And then they're like, this party. | ||
| Then, later on, you look back and you're like, oh yeah, that party ended up winning. | ||
| Accurate since 1952. | ||
| This time around, economy and immigration are the number one issues. | ||
| And the polls say Republicans are better. | ||
| You've also got other data, which we'll get to in a bit, Right now, the aggregate polling on the direction of the country is at 28%. | ||
| CNN reported there has never been an election in this country where an aggregate poll showed the direction of the country at 28 or less and the incumbent party won. | ||
| Never happened. | ||
| If with all of these factors Kamala Harris somehow wins... | ||
| You got me, man. | ||
| Well, my answer is if she wins, it's because of Brett Sommer. | ||
| I do want to jump to this, because we were talking about comedy routines, and we've got this new video that I don't know if it's from the... | ||
| I think it's from like a pack or whatever. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| But it's like a lot of these packs that make the videos, you'd be like, can we pay you to stop doing that? | ||
| This commercial is hilarious in that I thought it was Babylon Bee at first when someone mentioned it, and I was like, there's no way they actually made this. | ||
| I'm going to play this for you now. | ||
| Listen to this. | ||
| I don't know if there's a lot of narration, so I'll have to explain some of it, but it's 30 seconds long. | ||
| Let's roll. | ||
| Your turn, honey. | ||
|
unidentified
|
In the one place in America where women still have a right to choose. | |
| You can vote any way you want. | ||
| And no one will ever know. | ||
| Ha ha ha! | ||
| So she votes for Harris. | ||
| Did you make the right choice? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure did, honey. | |
| Remember... | ||
| What an idiot! | ||
|
unidentified
|
...stays in the booth. | |
| Vote Harris-Waltz. | ||
| Yo, what's so funny about this is it's like the most condescending, disrespectful thing I've ever seen for women. | ||
| Like, you're only voting that way because your husband told you to. | ||
| Why not don't? | ||
| Well, obviously the thing that has to be made is the other way. | ||
| Like, Trump needs to do one where it's like a bro coming in with his futurist female shirt. | ||
| He's got the... | ||
| The Hillary pin. | ||
| I was thinking the exact same thing. | ||
| That's hilarious. | ||
| No Trump on our house, right, honey? | ||
| And then he goes, you know, Trump. | ||
| He goes, Trump, and then he writes in Trump for every other person. | ||
| Do you want to have sex to celebrate? | ||
| And then he writes underneath, please, for the love of God, save me. | ||
| Save me, Trump, please. | ||
| Yeah, it's also hilarious, too, that, like, their whole line has been, Trump is causing too much division. | ||
| And they're like, hey, ladies, your husband sucks. | ||
| He's awful. | ||
| Don't tell him the truth. | ||
| Don't tell him who you're voting for. | ||
| I lied to him. | ||
| But jokes aside, all that stuff, it more felt in the direction of what you're saying when I saw that this shit feels like a Hail Mary, where, like, if you lie to your husband, maybe you could do that. | ||
| Like, that felt like a little... | ||
| I went and voted today. | ||
| I voted today. | ||
| I voted for Trump. | ||
| Jill Stein. | ||
| And no, none of that. | ||
| And I went with Allison and we were waiting in line. | ||
| It was only 15 minutes and it was great. | ||
| And as we were getting close to the entrance, we're waiting in line. | ||
| I told her about this ad and I explained like the woman goes to the polling booth and she looks across another one. | ||
| They like smile at each other. | ||
| And then, you know, the husband's got the American flag hat on and then she looks around and she checks off Kamala Harris. | ||
| And then the husband's like, did you make the right choice? | ||
| And she's like, sure I did. | ||
| And Allison starts laughing. | ||
| She's like, that's ridiculous. | ||
| And I said, I know. | ||
| Could you imagine what that husband would do to her if he finds out that she went in there? | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| And then she started laughing. | ||
| That's the second half of the ad. | ||
| I thought it was private! | ||
| You mentioned Jill Stein. | ||
| There should literally be a bit where the person goes in to vote for Jill Stein. | ||
| It's the same exact motif, but you don't want anyone to know if you do that. | ||
| No one in the world has to know that you voted for Jill Stein. | ||
| That could just be your secret. | ||
| There's like a Trump voter and a Kamala voter and they're like, which one did you vote for? | ||
| And they're like, uh, and there's just sweat pouring out like the, uh, like that. | ||
| They look at each other. | ||
| What's the, what was the, um, who was it? | ||
| Key and Peele. | ||
| Yeah, Key and Peele. | ||
| The sweat's just pouring profusely like. | ||
| They both vote for Jill Stein while locking eyes with each other. | ||
| To me, that doesn't feel like an ad you make when you feel confident. | ||
| That's a pretty Hail Mary to be like, ladies, you could lie to your husband. | ||
| It's not just that. | ||
| It's like, ladies, have you considered that you have no agency and you're only voting Republican because your husband told you to? | ||
| The husband growls at her. | ||
| The Democrats are real good at being condescending, though. | ||
| The guy version is like, listen, boys, we know you're voting Democrat for pussy. | ||
| Like... | ||
| She's not gonna know. | ||
| Like, that's what they're saying. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know what I mean? | |
| You gotta make that, dude. | ||
| She's in the booth. | ||
| You can't tell. | ||
| What happens in the booth stays at the booth, fellas. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, oh, oh. | |
| Yeah, but they actually... | ||
| Just sad, brow-beaten guys. | ||
| No, they're voting. | ||
| He tosses him a beer. | ||
| He's like... | ||
| When that's honey, and then he winks at the camera. | ||
| Listen, listen. | ||
| When Alice and I went to vote, we were both next to each other, and they have a bunch of different... | ||
| Well, they—no, no, no, no. | ||
| So we're standing next to each other, but there's polling stations all over the place in different areas. | ||
| And people will get up randomly, and then they sit you down at whatever one pops open. | ||
| It just so happened that they sit Allison down, and then the guy stands right up, and they walk me, so I'm sitting literally right next to her. | ||
| And, you know, I could leave if I wanted to. | ||
| You could take a peep if you want. | ||
| Yeah, I saw a libertarian in there somewhere. | ||
| No, I don't know. | ||
| No, but I didn't. | ||
| I was like, I don't care. | ||
| You know, people are going to vote for what they want to, but I trust Allison is going to vote for the right person, and that is Donald Trump. | ||
| Yeah, it's such a wild thing. | ||
| I mean, but that's their entire line of reasoning, right? | ||
| Like, any time a woman is a Republican, it's because she's coerced in some way. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Also, I like the implication that women didn't know that their vote is secret. | ||
| The ad has to reveal that, too. | ||
| Like, my husband will know if I vote. | ||
| But the commercial may have gone like, hey, dumbass, did you know that no one knows you're voting? | ||
| We think you're stupid. | ||
| Maybe you need to be told this. | ||
| It's pretty rough. | ||
| Yeah, it's a tough one. | ||
| That's what I'm saying. | ||
| If I was part of the Kamala Harris campaign, I'd be like, someone call those guys and be like, stop making videos. | ||
| Like the white dudes for Harris? | ||
| There's this town called Harris in Arkansas, and they made all these videos how it's the most racist town in America. | ||
| And so there's like a ton of documentaries. | ||
| And if you watch the videos, it's like one guy in the town that's in the KKK, and the rest of the town that's like, please stop making documentaries about our town, right? | ||
| To me, that's what they need, the guy to be like, please stop. | ||
| No, they should keep making them because they're funny. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Like, I'm having a good time, you know what I mean? | ||
| Yeah, but I think you really should make the guy version of it. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Like, boys, you don't have to actually vote Democrat to hook up with this chick. | ||
| Just say you did. | ||
| It's really crazy that- And then throw the guy a beer and they crack it like, yeah! | ||
| That video encourages lying to your spouse. | ||
| I know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, exactly. | |
| Or just like- Well, I mean, you should. | ||
| From your spouse. | ||
| It's such a messed up campaign message. | ||
| Your hair looks amazing today! | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Are you married? | ||
| No. | ||
| Oh, okay, so... | ||
| If I was, I'd lie to her. | ||
| I guess discretion and lying are two different things. | ||
| You don't have to tell them the truth. | ||
| As long as you're not telling them a lie, you're not necessarily... | ||
| You shouldn't lie to your wife. | ||
| You shouldn't lie to your husband. | ||
| You just don't have to say everything all the time. | ||
| That's fair, that's fair. | ||
| I actually find your twin sister ugly and you hot! | ||
| Sure. | ||
| It's also such a weird thing that, like, look, this also could just be because politics is so important to me, but in reality with how polarized we are and how massively different you have to be in worldview to support either party, it seems bizarre that you would marry someone without knowing their politics or being on the same page. | ||
| How are you gonna raise your kids? | ||
| Look at the Conways! | ||
| They probably got married before. | ||
| Yeah, that didn't work so great politically. | ||
| Yeah, but how does that happen? | ||
| Well, I don't know if you've watched 2016 to now. | ||
| It's like, you know, there was a whole era where they go, everyone needs to have an opinion on this. | ||
| And there's probably couples that have, like, talked about politics twice, and they're in 10 years they've been together. | ||
| That's insane to me. | ||
| Well, you run a show about politics. | ||
| Some people... | ||
| Yeah, but, like, Alice and I talk about a lot more than just politics. | ||
| In fact, we don't talk about politics all that often. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But, like, it comes up. | ||
| When I was growing up, though, like, I would say that... | ||
| Like, politics, probably where I grew up, at least, was probably the equivalent of, you could be like, oh, this person likes metal, and this person likes this, and it's not, like, a big deal. | ||
| Yeah, that's what it was for me, too. | ||
| It came down to, like, the end, and you'd be like, so, who are you gonna vote for anyway? | ||
| And they'd be like, oh, that guy. | ||
| You'd be like, huh, I'm voting for the other one. | ||
| Yeah, it's not like, oh, that guy, the people who like metal are murderers. | ||
| That's because, but a lot of that is because up until about 2010 or so, politics weren't so, like, it wasn't so, so polarized. | ||
| And it wasn't so polarized. | ||
| I mean, like, everyone in the U.S. kind of thought the U.S. was generally good. | ||
| Right? | ||
| For the most part. | ||
| You could reliably say, if I go and talk to someone, they're probably going to think that the United States is an overall good place. | ||
| Maybe they'll say we have some problems or whatever. | ||
| Nowadays, the left and the right have vastly different views on the United States itself. | ||
| They have vastly different views on the way our government operates. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And they more importantly have vastly different views on the intentions of their opponents. | ||
| Yeah, that's true too. | ||
| But that right there is a big part of the problem. | ||
| When you've got two groups that have such completely and totally different views on how the country... | ||
| The left thinks the country, or at least the progressives, think the United States is... | ||
| It's irreversibly racist, and it should be torn down totally. | ||
| Like, that's what the progressives think. | ||
| They think that this country is built on racism, that everybody in America is to some degree racist, that America is a net negative for the world. | ||
| And if that's your worldview, And you're talking to someone else that says, generally, I think the United States has been a positive, a force for good in the world, historically. | ||
| We are one of the least racist societies in all of human history, which is undeniably true. | ||
| And if you have those opinions, and you're talking to someone that says, no, the U.S. is full of racists. | ||
| It's built on slavery. | ||
| The 1619 Project is actually how the start of the country started. | ||
| Those two views are so different. | ||
| So diametrically opposed and so totally different. | ||
| It's no wonder that Americans are finding it harder and harder to find common ground. | ||
| That weird ass America's horrible mindset is like... | ||
| I mean, it really caught fire during the wars in the Middle East. | ||
| I fell into it in 2008, 9, 10. | ||
| I was like, screw the military. | ||
| Screw America. | ||
| We've just been... | ||
| But it's like the Internet's allowing people to amplify that red And the internet's allowing them... | ||
| It makes people have those opinions later in life. | ||
| Like, that used to be more... | ||
| Yeah, that's like 20-year-old stuff, whereas now... | ||
| And then you're 40, you don't think about it as much anymore. | ||
| It's with a lot of people. | ||
| I think there's a lot of people that are like 30 to 50 that have a lot of opinions on that stuff that probably 15 years ago would be more thinking about their family and whatever. | ||
| I think the internet creates, for the average person... | ||
| You know, I refer to the left as like a cult, but it creates many cults and obsessions. | ||
| It creates an entertainment obsession cycle where people will latch on to one thing, and Donald Trump happens to be that largely for most people. | ||
| Did you see the video of the woman going on the lawn and punching the Trump sign? | ||
| It's like a purple flamingo and she's just screaming and kicking and punching it. | ||
| And I'm like, that's not a lady who has a disagreement with Trump. | ||
| That's a person who's got a psychotic obsessive disorder and she's trapped in it because the internet keeps blasting her in the face with it. | ||
| Yeah, found her community there. | ||
| There's no escape. | ||
| But whether, no, not even. | ||
| She goes on YouTube and YouTube keeps just putting it all in her face every single day. | ||
| The algorithm you made. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| And she can't escape it. | ||
| There's no escape in there. | ||
| The escape's out here in the real world. | ||
| The escape's on the horizon. | ||
| But then she goes outside and she sees the Trump sign and she's like, it's everywhere! | ||
| And then she just goes and she starts punching a sign and bashing it with a rock. | ||
| I did. | ||
| I was driving over here and I got a good look at the sunset. | ||
| And I was like, whoa. | ||
| Did you stare at it? | ||
| That was coming. | ||
| My brain was just resettled. | ||
| It renormalized. | ||
| It was like four seconds. | ||
| I was like, whoa. | ||
| The sun staring. | ||
| Nice. | ||
| Yeah, sun gazing. | ||
| Good for your eyes. | ||
| Excellent for your eyes, I hear. | ||
| Yeah, if you do it right. | ||
| That's not medical advice for the audience. | ||
| We're not. | ||
| It's an ancient Hindu practice, ancient practice, where people would gaze at the sun during the sunset, and then they'd get all this energy and they'd feel better. | ||
| And it helped me repair my eyes. | ||
| And the glasses stock would go through the roof. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, exactly. | |
| Big glasses loves monitors. | ||
| Monitors are frying our animals. | ||
| A brilliant blind yogi suggested it long ago. | ||
| But it was after, well after the sun had set. | ||
| It was just the colors, the different, it was wild. | ||
| Now it's not the sun. | ||
| Now it's sunset gazing. | ||
| But it's the horizon, really. | ||
| Andrew Huberman talks a lot, he's a neuroscientist, about how staring at the horizon for 15 minutes a day is extremely good for your neurology. | ||
| So I think literally that's the escape from the psychosis. | ||
| Let's jump to the story from the Daily Wire. | ||
| Progressive commentator throws water on Democrat attempts to brand Trump a fascist. | ||
| Anna Kasparian is probably voting for Donald Trump. | ||
| She actually defended him. | ||
| She says, okay, fine, I'll bite. | ||
| Fascism requires a militarized citizenry, conquest and imperialism, the elimination of our governing bodies, and the notion that anyone who isn't a part of a master race should be massacred. | ||
| She noticed that was a weird thing to label a guy who brags about not starting any new wars. | ||
| He also passed criminal justice reform and personally pardoned black inmates who were serving life sentences for drug crimes who Obama was unwilling to pardon. | ||
| But I'm the effing stupid one. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Anna Kasparian defending Donald Trump a week out from the election was not on my bingo card. | ||
| I thought this was actually throwing water. | ||
| I was like, when did they throw the water? | ||
| She's going to vote for Trump. | ||
| But outside of that, I kind of feel like if you're asking for the temperature check on whether Trump wins, it's Anna Kasparian of the Young Turks defending Donald Trump. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, to be fair, she's been getting clearer and clearer on a lot of issues recently. | ||
| She's been more willing to push back against Cenk when he says things that are pretty far to the left. | ||
| All right, to be fair, actually, even Cenk has gotten, even though I very much disagree with him, and we don't want to fall into this right-wing habit of worshipping any leftist who hates our way of life when they say one thing we agree with, Cenk has actually been saying some things about Trump and the way that Trump has been talked about, which has shocked me as well. | ||
| I think... | ||
| I think Cenk was for a period—and it's still probably true—he was saying whatever he needed to say for his audience, and it was—the issue is that the left has gone crazy, honest people called it out immediately, and the grifters feigned disinterest and said, oh, me, oh my, I don't know. | ||
| And Cenk got to the point where he's realizing that the leftist market is minimized because people think the left's gone crazy, which means he's going to go out of business if he chases after this insanity. | ||
| Right now, another big example is Eric Weinstein tweeting that he's like, I'm not voting for anybody. | ||
| I can't do this. | ||
| It's not for me. | ||
| And Mike Cernovich called him a moral coward because he's like, you pony up to the Trump side of things, but you refuse to take a stance because you're scared of the social consequences because of people like Sam Harris. | ||
| There are still a lot of people. | ||
| He thinks Eric Weinstein is? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I don't know if he is. | ||
| Eric Weinstein is refusing to vote for Trump. | ||
| I'll tell you this. | ||
| You might not like him. | ||
| I do not understand how anyone could say, I agree the open borders are a problem. | ||
| I agree we should bring back our jobs. | ||
| I agree gender ideology is crazy. | ||
| I agree woke has gone too far. | ||
| I agree cancel culture is crazy. | ||
| I agree DEI and government institutions and our corporations is bad. | ||
| I'm not going to vote for Trump. | ||
| I'm like, that's completely illogical and an emotional decision that makes literally no sense. | ||
| The math, the logical equation off of everything we see right now in reasonable culture in this world, disaffected liberals, post-liberals, conservatives and libertarians aligned. | ||
| See, Dave Smith, what did he say? | ||
| He said I'm voting for Trump. | ||
| I'm like, yes, because Dave Smith is an honest guy. | ||
| And he has real grievances and real criticisms. | ||
| And then he said... | ||
| I saw Kamala Harris campaign with Liz Cheney. | ||
| And I'm like, she deserves to lose. | ||
| I'm voting for Trump. | ||
| And I'm like, yes, any sane and reasonable, honest person will come to that conclusion. | ||
| I believe. | ||
| I think sometimes people on a personal level are just like, I don't want to do that again. | ||
| I agree with my I believe Michael Malice. | ||
| I trust him. | ||
| He says, I'm not voting. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| I don't believe in this system. | ||
| I won't do it. | ||
| And that is bigger than whether he cares or doesn't care about Donald Trump or Kamala Harris. | ||
| But for someone like Eric Weinstein, I don't believe he's being honest when he's like, oh, I just can't vote for the guy. | ||
| It's like, then stop complaining about the things he's going to fix. | ||
| Right? | ||
| If you... | ||
| So let me put it this way. | ||
| Michael Malice says, I will not participate in this system no matter what. | ||
| I say, okay, I get it. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| He can defend Trump. | ||
| He can defend the right. | ||
| He can defend his ideas. | ||
| But he rejects the system outright. | ||
| You're never going to get him over that hurdle. | ||
| Eric Weinstein says, I want a champion and a candidate. | ||
| Here are all the things I don't like. | ||
| I'm not going to vote for Donald Trump. | ||
| No disrespect to Eric Weinstein, I'm just saying I don't believe it. | ||
| All these people that are claiming this, I don't believe it. | ||
| When Anna Kasparian comes out and defends Donald Trump, I believe she's actually looking at the facts and she's realizing, like, you can't defend whatever this stuff is. | ||
| Cenk Uygur, however, I think is just going wherever the wind blows. | ||
| I think they're always having that same argument that you're having over—I think the left-wing people are all having that, where they're just like, they're bad on Palestine. | ||
| They're just like, well, you can vote. | ||
| And then they're like, well, isn't this going to be better? | ||
| And they're having kind of the same argument about that. | ||
| Well, if you think this is bad, then why are you not going to vote for it? | ||
| Yeah, but Trump and—both Trump and Kamala are going to be pro-Israel. | ||
| Well, that's not how they see it, right? | ||
| So they're having that same argument that you're having about Eric Weinstein on the left. | ||
| No, I think the left very much agrees. | ||
| Kamala Harris and Joe Biden are—what do they call? | ||
| Genocide Joe? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They believe that whether it's Kamala or Trump, you are getting a pro-Israel administration. | ||
| Right, which is why they're saying that they don't want to vote for her. | ||
| Which is why the ballots that got burned in Portland and Washington had an incendiary device that was marked Free Gaza on it. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| Now, we don't know exactly who did it. | ||
| Still, a black vehicle pulled up to ballot boxes, more than one, and threw incendiary devices inside, destroying hundreds of ballots, and the devices said, free Gaza. | ||
| And it may be because the leftists are like, there's no administration for me. | ||
| Yeah, that's what it feels like, yeah. | ||
| Yeah, you see a lot of that, primarily on the Palestine issue, which is also interesting, though, because historically, the left has been ironically farsighted with their voting patterns. | ||
| They've said, this guy's a little bit more like us, so we're going to keep voting for him, and then the country has shifted massively to the left. | ||
| And then, for whatever reason, this is the issue where they've decided they just can't vote for somebody unless they're totally with them on the issue. | ||
| I'm curious why. | ||
| I want to say something right now. | ||
| I've been saying it nonstop. | ||
| I'm going to keep saying it because this is the most important week of our lives to date. | ||
| You must vote because your vote will be the deciding vote in this election. | ||
| That is not an exaggeration. | ||
| In Lauren Boebert's district in the midterm, it came down to about 500 votes. | ||
| It was razor thin. | ||
| And there was potentially going to be a recount until the Democrats said, you know what, never mind, I don't want to do it. | ||
| It is very likely there are going to be insane legal challenges with razor-thin margins, and heaven forbid you wake up thinking, what's the point? | ||
| I'm in a blue state anyway, or I'm in a red state anyway, and then Trump loses this district by a handful of votes, by a couple hundred. | ||
| It is your vote that will be the deciding vote, especially if you are in a blue state. | ||
| Deep blue California, vote. | ||
| Trump wins the popular vote if you do. | ||
| You're in deep red, vote. | ||
| I'm in West Virginia. | ||
| I went and voted today. | ||
| I voted for Trump. | ||
| That way, I know West Virginia is voting for Trump. | ||
| Do I even need? | ||
| Of course, because Trump needs the popular vote. | ||
| But in many of these districts, in PA, in these swing states, every single vote has the potential to be the deciding vote in this election. | ||
| So make sure you are getting out the vote, you are getting your friends to vote, you are telling your friends to go vote, whatever you have to do, and then you go vote. | ||
| Just one week. | ||
| One week, man. | ||
| Polls don't vote. | ||
| People do. | ||
| Betting markets don't vote. | ||
| People do. | ||
| You've got to get out there. | ||
| Not voting is, I think, a symptom of being black-pilled. | ||
| I think Weinstein's black-pilled. | ||
| He seems hopeless. | ||
| I've never voted. | ||
| You've never voted? | ||
| I can't vote in America. | ||
| I voted in 2008, and I voted in 2016, I think. | ||
| I voted for Jill Stein. | ||
| That was like, screw these guys. | ||
| I'm voting for Jill Stein kind of vote. | ||
| Yeah, the woo-woo crackpot burn the country down candidate. | ||
| Yeah, like I had no care for the two angry people. | ||
| I was like, let's do somebody that wants to heal the earth. | ||
| That's all I care about. | ||
| I don't think that's her. | ||
| Well, she represented the Green Party, which was supposed to be the one that cared about the environment. | ||
| I was so checked out during that. | ||
| It was ridiculous the way Bernie Sanders got the boot. | ||
| I wanted to vote for Bernie. | ||
| But I think when you're blackpilled, it's easy to say I'm not going to participate because there is like... | ||
| You kind of guide the direction if you're going to opt not to. | ||
| There's a reason, like, why Eric is very, he seems black pill. | ||
| He seems hopeless about the future. | ||
| If you really listen to him, he's very articulate and logical about it. | ||
| But then he says, like, I feel like we are doomed. | ||
| Like, he has that message of I feel like we are doomed. | ||
| So I'm not surprised he's not voting. | ||
| Now, as for Anna Kasparian, I would like to debate her or at least talk to her about fascism because she said some specific stuff about fascism that I don't necessarily... | ||
| It says it requires a militarized conquest, imperialism. | ||
| I think that you can live in a very peaceful fascist society. | ||
| She's correct. | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| She is correct. | ||
| She assumes master race is going to massacre people. | ||
| The one thing she may be wrong about is, I don't believe fascism, I could be wrong, but I don't think fascism was about master race, that was Nazism. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| That was a tenet of Nazism. | ||
| Which is a form of fascism. | ||
| Fascism and Nazism were similar in a lot of ways, largely that they were militarized, traditionalist, authoritarian systems. | ||
| Like the military-industrial complex is a form of fascism. | ||
| They don't usually talk about removing power from government, that's for sure. | ||
| Yeah, you want the corporations colluding with the government to have military control, basically, as fascism. | ||
| But it can be very peaceful. | ||
| Like, you don't know you're in a fascist society when you're getting fed. | ||
| It doesn't feel like it until things really start to step out of line. | ||
| Like, Trump's kind of speaking... | ||
| He talks about... | ||
| Moving away from fascism, well, at least he talks about getting rid of the deep state, which would be a way of getting rid of the corporate government collusion. | ||
| I don't know if he's actually is going to do it. | ||
| I don't know if he can do it. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I think Anna will vote for Trump. | ||
| For sure. | ||
| If what she's saying is true, she's already voted for him. | ||
| It's simple. | ||
| To be fair, all she said was not fascists. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| Anna's story, which I will say, I don't want to say the full details of what happened to her because we're trying to be family friendly, but she was assaulted by a homeless man in a very disgusting way. | ||
| We'll put it that way. | ||
| Earmuffs for the kids. | ||
| And when she said, holy crap, this guy just violated me, the left said, stop harming homeless people. | ||
| And she was like, what? | ||
| And they were like, you are creating a negative view of homeless people by perpetuating these lies. | ||
| You're a white woman, blah, blah, blah. | ||
| And she was like, ah. | ||
| And that was a wake-up call for her. | ||
| Even worse, she said that when she first told the story, people started calling her racist. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| And she never even mentioned the skin color. | ||
| And she said that the guys ended up being white. | ||
| Or when she did finally say it, she said they were white. | ||
| But people just immediately assumed because she was complaining about someone who assaulted her that she was racist and that the person was black. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| I've seen that tons of times though in this industry where someone does something, a group gets really mad at them, and then you dig your heels in and go completely the other way. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| If you have a month of getting pilloried by a community, you're like, alright, I'm whatever that isn't. | ||
| Have you guys seen The Animal with Rob Schneider? | ||
| Yeah, of course. | ||
| I rewatch it every week. | ||
| Yeah, so he's massacring animals or whatever. | ||
| I've actually never seen it. | ||
| At the end, they're like, he's the monster, we gotta get him. | ||
| But then the black dude's like, it was me. | ||
| And then Norm Macdonald's like, well, I didn't join a mob to go after a black guy. | ||
| And they all just leave. | ||
| They're like, we're not interested in this. | ||
| Jeez. | ||
| That's a lot of what the left does. | ||
| Like, in Anna's case, it wasn't, like, the first thing may have been the attack, but there's also, like, this has been multiple things that have happened. | ||
| There was the, she made a remark about birthing person. | ||
| She's like, I'm not a birthing person, I'm a woman. | ||
| And she got attacked by the left person. | ||
| Yeah, they were like, no, you're not. | ||
| Yeah, like, which is ridiculous, but... | ||
| She's one of the main people at Young Turks, right? | ||
| Yeah, she's number two. | ||
| Yeah, it's... | ||
| She's kind of the guy in charge. | ||
| Can we just point out the Young Turks? | ||
| They were responsible for the Armenian genocide, weren't they? | ||
| Not Jenkin and Anna, but yeah, Enver Pasha was the name of the guy. | ||
| So, calling your news organization the Young Turks, many people have said it's like calling your news organization the Hitler Youth. | ||
| The Hitler Youth, yes. | ||
| And then also, like, being a holocaust and I are on top of it. | ||
| That's the equivalent. | ||
| Well, it would be like, because he was an Armenian Genocide denier. | ||
| And then he apologized. | ||
| Okay, but can you imagine if there was a right-wing media outlet called the Hitler Youth? | ||
| And they're like, we apologize for the Holocaust denial thing. | ||
| We don't believe that anymore. | ||
| Dude, I was at Politicon several years ago. | ||
| They don't do it anymore. | ||
| But there were protesters demanding, there were Armenian protesters demanding that Cenk Uygur change the name. | ||
| And they were like, call it- The Old Turks. | ||
| Call it something else. | ||
| Call it whatever. | ||
| They were like, keep it TYT to keep the branding, but make it mean something else. | ||
| Just stop calling your organization the Young Turks. | ||
| They committed a genocide. | ||
| And Jenkins is like, nah. | ||
| Did he ever talk about... | ||
| What about the Turkish delights? | ||
| Yeah, something like that. | ||
| The youthful... | ||
| Because he was young and he was Turkish. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| No, Young Turks was, so there's a slang term meaning like aggressive and abrasive youth, like punk, punk, you know what I mean? | ||
| But the term still comes from the Young Turks who committed the Armenian genocide. | ||
| Yeah, it was a political party in the early 1900s, Enver Pasha and like two other guys, I think. | ||
| If there's a group that has committed a genocide, you should not name your organization. | ||
| Name your podcast something else. | ||
| Unless you want a rebrand, because you know there's somebody out there named, like, John Hitler. | ||
| And, like, so what? | ||
| Just because he's got the last name. | ||
| I think Hitler got retired. | ||
| This reminds me of the Futurama joke where... | ||
| In like the first season or whatever, Fry is saying, he's like the smelloscope, and it's like you can point it at any astral body and smell it. | ||
| And then Fry goes, just don't make me smell Uranus. | ||
| And Leela's like, Fry, we changed the name of that planet to stop that stupid joke. | ||
| And he's like, oh, what do they call it now? | ||
| And the professor goes, Eurechtum! | ||
| So it's like the Young Turks, it's like they're going to change the name, it's like the next choice they have is the Hitler Youth. | ||
| I do like the idea of rebranding because I have a friend whose grandfather was a Nazi scientist. | ||
| He was the guy, Josef Mengele. | ||
| And I know his grandson. | ||
| And he was going with the Mengele last name. | ||
| And he's like, I gotta change my name. | ||
| Your buddy's with his grandson? | ||
| Yeah, he's cool. | ||
| I met him through YouTube. | ||
| He's a YouTube video maker. | ||
| Great guy. | ||
| Christian dude. | ||
| He's the bomb. | ||
| And he was living in this state of existential concern because he's like, I gotta change my name. | ||
| And I'm like, well, maybe you don't. | ||
| Maybe you're the guy that actually brings honor back to the word. | ||
| Do you know about the Hitler family? | ||
| Negative. | ||
| There's a family, their last name is Hitler, and they refuse to change their names, and they issue Christmas cards from the Hitlers. | ||
| I'm not kidding. | ||
| What are they talking about, dude? | ||
| It's true. | ||
| It's America? | ||
| In America, yeah, and they said it's not fair that we would have to change our name. | ||
| You should have to change your name. | ||
| This all has very strong... | ||
| He's the one who sucks! | ||
| Why should I have to change my name? | ||
| This all has very strong, I'm taking it back from Clerks 2. | ||
| Taking back the word? | ||
| Yeah, we're taking it back. | ||
| Oh my god. | ||
| Let's jump to the story. | ||
| We got this from CNN. I mean, I'm from Daily Mail, but it is a CNN story. | ||
| CNN data guru reveals the signs Trump will win 2024 election. | ||
| You can say... | ||
| You can't say we didn't warn you. | ||
| So let's... | ||
| Do they actually have the video or the video crashed? | ||
| This fella's gone back and forth, though, if I'm not mistaken. | ||
| So one of the important things, which for whatever reason is no longer in this, is the... | ||
| Here you go. | ||
| Just 20% of Americans in an aggregate of recent polls believe the country is going in the right direction. | ||
| He says, quote, There isn't a single time in which 20% of the American public think the country is going the right track in which the incumbent party actually won, and instead citing every election since the 80s. | ||
| The bottom line is, if Republicans win come next week... | ||
| Then Donald Trump wins come next week. | ||
| The signs all along will have been obvious. | ||
| This is huge because the passive signs are indicating that Donald Trump is going to win. | ||
| That's what everyone seems to think. | ||
| Is that as close as you can come to saying you think Trump is going to win without CNN firing you? | ||
| He's like, if it happens, all the predictors are there and we shouldn't say we're shocked by it happening if it does. | ||
| Not saying it will. | ||
| You're right. | ||
| It's a wordy way to say that. | ||
| We've got to bring this ABC article. | ||
| Let me play the clip for you, actually, because this is what I was trying to pull up. | ||
| This is the right track. | ||
| There we go. | ||
| Just 28. | ||
| 25% of Americans, voters, think the country is going in the right direction, is on the right track. | ||
| And I want you to put that into a historical perspective for you. | ||
| Okay, what's the average percentage of the public that thinks that the country is on the right track when the incumbent party loses? | ||
| It's 25%. | ||
| That 25% looks an awful bit like that 28% up there. | ||
| It doesn't look anything Anything like this 42% doesn't look anything like this 28%. | ||
| So the bottom line is, very few Americans think the country is on the right track at this particular point. | ||
| It tracks much more with when the incumbent party loses than when it wins. | ||
| In fact, I went back through history. | ||
| There isn't a single time in which 28% of the American public thinks the country is going on the right track in which the incumbent party actually won. | ||
| They always lose when just 28% of the country believes I guess the question is, are we going to see the House and the Senate as well? | ||
| Is it going to be a Republican clean sweep? | ||
| I hope so. | ||
| Listen, I really hope he wins. | ||
| I can't make a solid prediction yet. | ||
| I really hope he does. | ||
| I also feel the same way. | ||
| It feels like he's going to, but I don't want to act like we have it in the bag, man. | ||
| Everyone's got to get out and vote. | ||
| If he lost, would you be bummed out for like a week? | ||
| I'd be pretty sad if he... | ||
| Yeah, I think that it would be bad for America in the long term. | ||
| Yeah, I think that's where I'm at. | ||
| I'm not in love with Donald Trump as a politician. | ||
| I think he's funny. | ||
| He's entertaining. | ||
| But, like, I think that the policies that the Harris campaign would actually institute or, you know, have... | ||
| would put in place would be incredibly bad for America. | ||
| The past four years have been bad because of policy. | ||
| We have... | ||
| You know, crime rates have skyrocketed. | ||
| He's got a pretty good dream team, too, with Trump. | ||
| It would be great. | ||
| With Elon Musk and RFK. Yeah. | ||
| And, like, the crime that we see now is because of policy. | ||
| The damage from inflation is because of policy. | ||
| They didn't have to do all the things they did to stifle growth when you really needed it the most. | ||
| After they pumped all that money into the economy... | ||
| Once they pumped the money into the economy, they had to open the economy up as soon as possible to have the ability to grow so that way it could eat up the money and not have this massive inflation because inflation is just too many dollars chasing not enough stuff. | ||
| So they should have known that that was going to happen because they did all that money printing, and they should have made sure that there were policies that were going to make the economy grow. | ||
| And they didn't. | ||
| They just let it go. | ||
| They just said, no, we'll just go ahead and open things up and it'll be fine, instead of changing the tax policy and changing, you know, because that kind of stuff actually matters. | ||
| And that's just the top of it. | ||
| The American people are sick and tired of the woke stuff. | ||
| They're sick and tired of that stuff in government. | ||
| And they're not going to pull back on that community. | ||
| I'll tell you some of the boots-on-the-floor New York people that, you know, just like your average liberal at a comedy club will say that we don't want... | ||
| Like, the big thing that they're scared about is... | ||
| Obviously, there's a bit of the abortion stuff, but the other part of it will be like... | ||
| If Republicans have another judge, that'll be the end of the world. | ||
| Banning drag? | ||
| That's what they're afraid of? | ||
| I'm just saying, that's a big talking point. | ||
| If they have another judge, they go, that's gonna be that forever. | ||
| So they go, that's why this one's... | ||
| I've heard that a lot. | ||
| They will get one, but let me ask you, Ryan, as a comedian, which would you prefer? | ||
| In which way? | ||
| Is it easier doing comedy when Trump is in office or Harris would be in office? | ||
| We were kind of joking about that. | ||
| I mean... | ||
| If you probably look at the actual way the... | ||
| If you look at actual comedy and things getting bad, it was probably crazier under Trump, right? | ||
| Yeah, well, I kind of... | ||
| But I mean, you know... | ||
| What is it? | ||
| I felt like... | ||
| What do you think? | ||
| Do you think comedy was better in 2016 to 2020 or 2020 to 2024? | ||
| It's not so much that as I think if... | ||
| The challenge with the Trump presidency is that the media is dominated by claptor. | ||
| And so you don't actually get at the corporate level. | ||
| There's arguments. | ||
| I love that term. | ||
| I don't think too many people are making their decision based on what is going to be better for comedy. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| I'm just asking, will it be better or worse? | ||
| SNL under Trump was just the worst thing imaginable. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| It wasn't comedy at all. | ||
| Alec Baldwin was doing these weird impersonations of Trump that didn't actually impersonate Trump at all. | ||
| He would dress like Trump and then do weird things Trump didn't do. | ||
| Like Shane Gillis does Trump. | ||
| And you're like, OK, that's he's he's he's acting like Trump and he's exaggerating a little bit. | ||
| Alec Baldwin would just say weird things and then do a weird thing with his mouth. | ||
| And I'm like, but Trump doesn't do that. | ||
| It's not it's not making me laugh about Trump because they're obsessed with him. | ||
| They have this psychotic obsession. | ||
| And he hates him. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| So because they hate Trump so much, I feel like corporate comedy is going to be absolute trash. | ||
| Yeah, that's how I feel. | ||
| It depends, because you're right. | ||
| It's like, probably whenever the media goes insane, the underground comedy and underground things, period, kind of do better, and the corporate version does worse. | ||
| That's probably a good way to put it. | ||
| I would agree. | ||
| I mean, this is the other thing, too. | ||
| Trump wins, it'll be worse for the corporate stuff. | ||
| It'll be worse for Hollywood. | ||
| They'll make worse stuff. | ||
| But as a result of that, think about how many— Under Joe Biden, because this has become the machine, I think we're seeing more people, for a variety of reasons, are actually making jokes about wokeness and pushing back on it. | ||
| It's becoming more acceptable to challenge because it's viewed as the establishment. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| To a certain degree. | ||
| Yeah, and also it's sort of that moment has been sort of moved past in a little bit. | ||
| So it's become not so hot anymore. | ||
| And some people don't want to touch things that are too hot. | ||
| Now it feels like, oh, it's not as hot anymore. | ||
| I can talk about it. | ||
| But the question is... | ||
| Jon Stewart defended Tony Hinchcliffe. | ||
| Yeah, I saw that. | ||
| That was really funny. | ||
| He's laughing and he's like, he's very funny. | ||
| Yeah, fair point. | ||
| And the jokes he showed from Tony were some of his more shocking jokes. | ||
| Comedy. | ||
| Yeah, he was like, if you want to get mad at people, if you want to get mad at someone, you can get mad at the party for having them on, but it's like, the guy got hired to do what he does. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| I mean, this is a pretty interesting question, and I've been asked this too. | ||
| It's like, oh, well, you know, are you going to have more material if Kamala wins or if Trump wins? | ||
| And the reality is, people... | ||
| Woman president jokes is, I'll tell you what... | ||
| Hilarious. | ||
| No. | ||
| But the other... | ||
| I got a sitcom idea for you. | ||
| A president, but it's a woman. | ||
| People will laugh. | ||
| No, but... | ||
| I'm listening. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We'll set it. | |
| We'll show people the hijinks every week. | ||
| The guy takes his orange, his bin of orange jokes and throws him in the trash and takes his bin of women jokes. | ||
| We were talking about this, like, if there was a, Seamus' gag was a 1950s pitch. | ||
| Oh, yeah, dude, I actually should make that cartoon. | ||
| And it's like, it's like, how the 1950s would imagine a female president is like, what did you call the Department of Baking? | ||
| Yeah, it's like, what, is she gonna start a Department of Baking? | ||
| It's just like the most insane, over-the-top, like, the executives are like, I just don't think people would believe it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But what I wanted to say is that... | |
| People will ask this question, is it going to be easier to make fun of Kamala or Trump? | ||
| And this is actually something that came up with the South Park guys, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, who are obviously hilarious. | ||
| But one thing that they said was they don't really want to do comedy right now. | ||
| They don't want to do new episodes because Donald Trump is doing his own comedy. | ||
| And I understand that perspective. | ||
| But for me, what always worked was just making fun of the reaction to Donald Trump, because I find that much more entertaining and interesting and funny than what he does. | ||
| It's hard to make him funny and funny on his It's much easier to make fun of the people who freak out over every little thing he does. | ||
| Do you remember when it was the election between Obama and, I think it was McCain, and what the South Park episode was? | ||
| They, within a week of the election... | ||
| Was that a giant douche turd? | ||
| No, it was Barack Obama and John McCain were part of a secret cabal that was trying to gain access to a secret spy mission, like a heist movie, to gain access to the White House to steal the diamonds, and Obama and McCain were actually friends and they were all working together... | ||
| That's right. | ||
| They were like, we need to get in the White House so we can get access to the safe and steal the jewels. | ||
| And it was like a week. | ||
| They did not make fun of him politically, either of them. | ||
| They made a random movie joke about how the real conspiracy is that they were just trying to steal rare jewels from underneath the White House. | ||
| And that's doing comedy in a way that no one is—for whatever reason, people's brains are fried right now, and they have to just be like, how do we make fun of Donald Trump? | ||
| You don't make fun of Donald Trump. | ||
| You put Donald Trump in a situation that is humorous and exaggerated. | ||
| Yeah, and— Also, in that topic, when the late night was talking about Trump, every single person that says a joke on late night, you go, that's been made 40,000 times on the internet right now. | ||
| But there's still funny things. | ||
| Even when he was doing Rogan, to me, one thing that would be funny was he kept being like, this guy's a scumbag, he was stealing from people, he kept scamming people, he can't be trusted. | ||
| He goes, if I was in his position, I'd do it too. | ||
| I respect the move. | ||
| Honestly, I respect, game-recognized game, but... | ||
| I think there's something like that that is funny. | ||
| There's a joke there with, like, Trump talking about players and pimps and, like, you know, cheating husbands. | ||
| But Trump's famous for that. | ||
| There's a viral moment from the 2016 campaign where he's talking about Hillary, and he gets asked about, do you use tax loopholes to avoid paying taxes? | ||
| And he goes, 100% I do. | ||
| Yeah, the same thing, yeah. | ||
| He's like, and so does all of Hillary's donors. | ||
| I used to be one. | ||
| We all do it, and we're going to use the system. | ||
| And he's like, and she's going to make sure, like, the carried interest is going to persist for all of her buddies. | ||
| No, as if he's supposed to say, and the politically smart thing is to say, well, no, of course, any time the Democrats say they need to raise my taxes to pay for something, of course, I do everything in my power to make sure I pay as much as possible. | ||
| Like, how could you even ask that to a Republican candidate when they're supposed to be running on slicing taxes? | ||
| Like, they gift-wrapped it for him. | ||
| Trump is the game-recognizing game candidate. | ||
| That's always funny. | ||
| That's the thing that's funny about Trump. | ||
| That's why I think, like, watching Freedom Tunes, it's funny when you make fun of Kamala. | ||
| So there was the one comic you did, a cartoon you did recently, where it was the Fox News interview with Kamala. | ||
| Thank you, yeah. | ||
| And then Brett's like, how many illegal immigrants do you think entered? | ||
| And she just goes like, ah! | ||
| And people are like, I don't need to spoil my brilliant material. | ||
| But the liberals are like, it's not even funny. | ||
| That's not even what happened. | ||
| And it was like, the joke isn't necessarily that she did scream on air. | ||
| It's that her answers are incoherent. | ||
| And then the media defends her no matter what she does, no matter how shockingly outrageous. | ||
| I think that her caricature will be like, this is like a drunk. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| If she's the president... | ||
| SNL already did. | ||
| Yeah, I know. | ||
| But the character is going to be more aggressive versions of that. | ||
| Did you see the bit where Kamala and her husband, Emma, were watching the VP debates? | ||
| And she's pouring wine. | ||
| And then she's like watching Tim Waltz. | ||
| And then she's like, I don't know if he was the right choice. | ||
| And then SNL Emhoff goes, well, let's just hope it doesn't say anything crazy. | ||
| And then it cuts to Tim Waltz going, I'm friends with school shooters. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| And then she shatters her wine glass. | ||
| And she's like, I should have chosen Joe and then like Shapiro. | ||
| And then she pours more wine. | ||
| Like SNL was making fun of her as a drunk. | ||
| I thought that was interesting. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah, that's kind of the thing. | ||
| I think that's something to pick where it's not too aggressive, you know? | ||
| She's a drunk. | ||
| Like, they're not going to call her dumb. | ||
| George Bush was like, that's his thing. | ||
| He's the dumb guy. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Let's talk about this story. | ||
| We have a story from CNN. Misleading text messages from voter mobilization group create confusion in key swing states. | ||
| I made it through. | ||
| Oh, this is a wild story. | ||
| This is an organization called All Vote sent texts to people saying records show you voted. | ||
| This caused a bunch of people to think that they had already voted when they didn't. | ||
| And All Vote goes, oh, oh, my bad. | ||
| We were supposed to say you voted in 2022, but we accidentally omitted that. | ||
| That's pretty bad. | ||
| And guess what? | ||
| According to CNN, they've done it several times in numerous swing states. | ||
| They're going to get the Doug Mackey train. | ||
| That has to be illegal. | ||
| And this is Charlotte Clymer. | ||
| Spokesperson said it was an error. | ||
| But CNN says this is not the first time that this organization has sent out misleading or phishing emails and texts. | ||
| Bruh. | ||
| Let me read it, actually. | ||
| I want to make sure I get it all clear. | ||
| They say, the organization behind the text, I'll vote. | ||
| So the messages contained errors. | ||
| A spokesperson said the misleading text was filed by an apology, but those who had replied stop may not have received it. | ||
| It's the latest case of misleading or incorrect election-related information being disseminated by the group, which has been flagged by officials from across the country, including key swing states, PA, Wisconsin, North Carolina, and Arizona, as a scam. | ||
| Dude, Douglas Mackey was sentenced to six months in prison for far less than this. | ||
| For sharing a meme he did not make. | ||
| Someone made a meme, he shared it, and they put him in jail. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And you've got this organization. | ||
| Meme prison. | ||
| Meme jail. | ||
| Yeah, meme jail. | ||
| Oh, like actually in jail. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I remember that. | ||
| Okay, yeah. | ||
| All right. | ||
| We're all up to speed. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| I was joking when I said there's a prison for memes. | ||
| It's just normal prison. | ||
| Canada's different, bro. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Britain, that's a whole jurisdiction. | ||
| Maximum security prison for the meme makers. | ||
| Meme cops in Britain are working overtime, busting down doors. | ||
| Put down the photoshop! | ||
| This company... | ||
| We got all of these off the street. | ||
| They have their thing where they're at the table with all the contraband. | ||
| It's just literally memes and photoshopped. | ||
| When you nutted, but she's still sucking. | ||
| That's going to add a couple to your sentence. | ||
| Save it for the members only. | ||
| You can do that scene from Minority Report where he walks in all the photos of the kidnapper and his son. | ||
| What's the actor's name? | ||
| He's playing Penguin. | ||
| He's just like, this is what we call an orgy. | ||
| Colin Farrell. | ||
| Colin Farrell. | ||
| It's a minority report, but British police predicting the meme you're going to make. | ||
| They're like, three billion women and it still ain't clean. | ||
| Oh, you're going to be doing time for that one. | ||
| Meme police? | ||
| What were you going to say, Ian? | ||
| Something about this organization? | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| Something relevant? | ||
| They texted people that they've already voted, so they're basically telling people not to go vote, don't bother, because your vote's already been counted. | ||
| That's the insinuation. | ||
| You text someone saying, records show you already voted, and people are going to be like, well, what am I supposed to do? | ||
| And they go, oopsie, it was a mistake. | ||
| Wouldn't you kind of... | ||
| I could see how that would work, but for most people, you'd be like, I didn't, though. | ||
| It doesn't matter. | ||
| If this scheme can knock off 1% of the vote, that's a massive margin nationally and in-swing states. | ||
| And anyone who runs an overseas scam artist operation knows that that's probably about 1%, you know? | ||
| Yup. | ||
| It's crazy stuff. | ||
| I'll tell you, a pretty good scam that people must be running is like, hey, patriots, the Republican Party needs your help. | ||
| Donate here. | ||
| Democrats, democracy is a stake. | ||
| Donate here. | ||
| That scam has to be happening. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I'd imagine. | ||
| I've been getting a lot of emails from Kamala Harris. | ||
| What's she up to? | ||
| You up? | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| Listen to this. | ||
| Clymer told CNN last week that about 15,000 Wisconsin voters received texts from the group linking to a voting website for the wrong municipality. | ||
| Which means a lot of people may have gone to the wrong voting location because of the text they were sent, and then they could be like, I can't take off work again. | ||
| Like, this is insane. | ||
| That's really bad. | ||
| That this is being allowed to happen. | ||
| Dude, literally the email from Kamala is, I'd love to give you a call, Ian. | ||
| That's the text. | ||
| No way. | ||
| That's the subject of the email. | ||
| Trump won't stop texting me, dude. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Dude, Ian, it's Kamala. | |
| We did a cartoon on this. | ||
| We did a cartoon on campaign texts. | ||
| What? | ||
| Because they're getting so invasive. | ||
| They'll say things like, I am telling your wife about us. | ||
| And then you open it. | ||
| It's like U.S. Representative Dusty Johnson and his plan to try. | ||
| You're like, this is insane, dude. | ||

You can't just be like, you just bait and switch people. | |
| Guys, I actually have big news. | ||
| This is huge news. | ||
| What's Trump texting you about? | ||
| I am being asked to be a consultant to the Trump administration. | ||
| How much is that going to run you? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| But let's see. | ||
| Oh, wow. | ||
| Here's big news. | ||
| When Trump texted me when he was recording Rogan's podcast, he said he had something he wanted to share with me, but I missed the text. | ||
| Ah, juicy gossip. | ||
| You're going to get back to him? | ||
| What's the next one we have? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What's the tea? | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Trump, you know, he's asking me to consult his administration. | ||
| He's texting me saying he can't win without me. | ||
| Well, I'm trying my hardest. | ||
| Specifically. | ||
| Honey, clear out the kid's savings account! | ||
| There's an emergency! | ||
| Trump Jr. | ||
| texted me asking me to borrow five bucks. | ||
| You should loan it to him. | ||
| The amount of texts I get from Trump, I get Democrats too, but it's mostly from Trump. | ||
| But the funnier ones are when it's like, I want you to consult. | ||
| Literally, one says, Tim, will you please consult my administration? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, I'll think about it, Trump. | ||
| They're getting more personal. | ||
| That's the one I want to give you a call. | ||
| At first they were like... | ||
| Ted Cruz texted me. | ||
| At least they're nice enough to text. | ||
| They're currently burning the American flag. | ||
| We can stop it, but it's going to be $5. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| Crazy, crazy. | ||
| Dude, this is nuts. | ||
| The amount of text that I have... | ||
| I'd love to give you a call. | ||
| So, you know, it's funny when I went to the Butler PA rally, I submitted the information to go to the rally and I didn't hear back. | ||
| But then Allison got hers and I was like, I didn't get mine. | ||
| I was like, well, if you got yours, I must have got mine. | ||
| But it never got to my phone. | ||
| And then I saw who sent it to Allison and it was Trump's text number. | ||
| And I was like, oh, and then I checked my phone. | ||
| It's auto blocked because they were sending so many things. | ||
| My phone just blocked it as spam. | ||
| And so none of the stuff went through. | ||
| I try to take a look into my spam folder every week or so. | ||
| Elon Musk, what does he want? | ||
| Musk needs money too? | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| You guys are brokies. | ||
| We're all texting. | ||
| Get a job, brokie. | ||
| Dude, I have like a dozen texts per day. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| Yeah, I'm getting bombarded by Kamala in the... | ||
| Well, there's apparently some stories of people that, you know, kind of believe that, you know, the ones are personalized. | ||
| Like, hey, Ian, it's for you. | ||
| There's a couple people that have cleared out their life savings. | ||
| Here's an interesting one. | ||
| Trump says, Elon, I could kiss you on the lips. | ||
| What? | ||
| Is that from Trump? | ||
| And then the next one says, sorry, wrong guy. | ||
| Dude, I got one, and it says, haha, in all caps with an exclamation point, and it looks like a real number. | ||
| And then you open it, and it says, Trump trolls Kamala in viral photo. | ||
| Open image. | ||
| I'm like, what? | ||
| What? | ||
| It looks like some random psycho texting me. | ||
| It probably is a phishing scam. | ||
| That one sounds like a scam. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Never click links. | ||

Oh, I got a request to answer a poll. | |
| I got polled. | ||

| Yeah, it was a poll for New Jersey voters. | ||
| I don't live there. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| Don't do that then. | ||
| But there you go. | ||
| Bro, this is all... | ||
| Stop! | ||
| Yeah, this is all campaign text. | ||
| Jeez, you're getting it. | ||
| Dude. | ||
| You're getting it hard. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| It's just endless from Trump. | ||
| Can you at least answer this question from Trump? | ||
| I'd be honored to hear what you have to say. | ||
| My favorite are when it's like... | ||
| Considering we have this show and that I've been to his events as a VIP and stuff like that and met the guy and interviewed him, when I get one of those spam texts and it's like, would you like to consult for my administration? | ||
| It's like, well, you know, I just announced it. | ||
| I have been asked by the Trump administration. | ||
| Major breaking news. | ||
| I got a Biden one. | ||
| My son's in a little bit of a situation in Thailand. | ||
| And a hundred bucks will get him out of it. | ||
| I intentionally didn't block any Democratic campaign emails or texts. | ||
| I wanted to get the full Monty. | ||
| It's funny to get them. | ||
| They're just nonstop. | ||
| Yeah, I have some too. | ||
| I got two at 6.30. | ||

Jeez. | |
| It's all DNC Kamala Harris. | ||

| They're abusive. | ||
| At some point, it's just abusive. | ||

| Like, what's going on? | ||
| And you open it, and you're like, oh. | ||
| I will never forget the day Donald Trump became president. | ||
| This one's unhinged. | ||
| So that's it, huh? | ||
| Your membership expired for all those years? | ||

I have the pill bottle in my hand! | |
| Here's a text. | ||
| I don't know who to turn to right now. | ||
| Kellyanne Conway has been trying to get a hold of you. | ||
| Her message is here. | ||
| Please read it. | ||
| You specifically. | ||
| Just me. | ||
| I'm like, oh, wow. | ||
| I don't want Kellyanne Conway to try and get a hold of it. | ||
| Dude, that's so funny. | ||
| This one's the best. | ||
| What is this? | ||
| A blue Florida and blue Texas is a reality if we don't act to help Rick Scott and Ted Cruz. | ||
| Oh, no. | ||
| Am I getting DNC emails because of the things I say online, or is it just because... | ||
| Oh, that's amazing. | ||
| Look up your records, dude. | ||
| Tell them that one, I guess. | ||
| Dude, I got one. | ||
| It just says, from Trump, colon, all caps, I was at McDonald's yesterday! | ||
| Yes! | ||

That's how your grandfather would text you. | |
| Jameis' cartoon is funny where it's like, I'm gonna tell your wife or whatever. | ||
| Yeah, we did a cartoon where it's like, your nephew's been kidnapped. | ||
| You guys should go watch it. | ||
| We did a whole cartoon on this a couple weeks ago. | ||
| I mean, it's been getting out of hand, but it's been for a while. | ||
| You guys should go check it out on Freedom Tunes. | ||
| Which, by the way, we just reached a million subs. | ||
| I don't think I know. | ||
| Oh, nice work, dude. | ||
| You're gonna get that big platinum bike or whatever it is? | ||
| So I owe you 20 bucks and then you're quitting? | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| This was all just a bet. | ||
| It was a bet. | ||
| He said he couldn't get to a million? | ||
| Yeah, 20 bucks. | ||
| And then he did it. | ||
| So now it's over. | ||
| I own the 20 bucks and he's done. | ||
| I want to bet my special can get to a million. | ||
| Is that a million? | ||
| No. | ||
| 20 bucks. | ||
| Is it on YouTube? | ||
| After the stream, everyone's probably going to pop over and watch it. | ||
| We'll be at a million. | ||
| I want to make sure we get to this story. | ||
| This is crazy. | ||
| We have this story. | ||
| This is from Ballotpedia. | ||
| West Virginia Amendment 1, prohibit medically assisted suicide, euthanasia and mercy killing measure. | ||
| The reason I want to talk about this is that I just voted today in West Virginia and one of the ballot amendments is West Virginia Amendment 1. | ||
| Yo, it was the most insane thing I have ever seen and I know a lot of you have dealt with this stuff before. | ||
| It's a very serious issue. | ||
| West Virginia is trying to ban medically assisted suicide, mercy killing, euthanasia, etc. | ||
| But on the ballot, it said something like, I'm going to try and get as much as I can. | ||
| West Virginia Amendment 1 amends the Constitution to protect West Virginians against medically assisted suicide. | ||
| suicide. | ||
| Are you for or against this? | ||
| What does that mean? | ||
| And I'm sitting there being like, whoa, whoa, whoa. | ||
| My vote on this is going to determine whether or not they're going to have euthanasia in West Virginia. | ||
| And I can't understand what they're asking me. | ||
| And so I tried clicking it like, can you read me the amendment? | ||
| No, the amendment is unavailable. | ||
| I didn't know the amendment was actually on the ballot measure. | ||
| That's my bet, I guess. | ||
| And so I'm sitting there standing at the screen and being like, what? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Am I for or against an amendment to the Constitution to protect against medically assisted suicide? | ||
| What does that mean to protect against it? | ||
| What does the amendment even say? | ||
| Is it going to say something like, to protect them from liability, we are going to allow it? | ||
| I don't know what it says. | ||
| How am I supposed to vote on it? | ||
| Let me read you what this says. | ||
| So Ballotpedia tries to break it down for you. | ||
| Understand, if you are voting on this measure and you get this wrong, you may be voting to allow euthanasia. | ||
| Good luck figuring this one out. | ||
| It says, A no vote opposes amending the West Virginia Constitution to prohibit people from participating in the practice of medically assisted suicide, euthanasia, or mercy killing of a person. | ||
| Who wants to take a stab at which one of those will prohibit medically assisted suicide? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Why would the yes? | ||
| The yes creates an amendment to prohibit. | ||
| The no doesn't create the amendment to prohibit. | ||
| How about this? | ||
| Let's add a comma. | ||
| A no vote opposes amending the West Virginia Constitution, comma, to prohibit people from the practice of medical suicide. | ||
| Is there a comma? | ||
| No, but it doesn't matter because you don't... | ||
| It's so confusing. | ||
| You don't actually need a comma to interpret the second... | ||
| So I'm reading this being like, wait, wait, wait. | ||
| I don't know what the amendment says. | ||
| So if I vote no, is opposing... | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Is opposing the amendment prohibiting... | ||
| Is the amendment to allow a medical suicide or to bar it? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| You gotta have, like, books. | ||
| I'm sitting there staring at this being like, if you don't tell me what the amendment does, how can I support it? | ||
| And both of these right here can be interpreted to describe allowing or barring the practice. | ||
| I feel like they should have a booklet at every polling booth with all the amendments in the booklet. | ||
| You open it up and you can read it. | ||
| You have to. | ||
| Otherwise, you're just getting uninformed voting, and maybe that's what they want. | ||
| To me, I felt like the craziest part when I was looking at the New York ones, that they clump things together. | ||
| To me, that's nuts, where the main one was- Because they know abortion is popular. | ||
| They have an amendment where they go, we're going to make New York like a sanctuary place where no matter what the federal thing does, New York stays this. | ||
| And then also in that same one, they go, and we're going to add a thing that you get basically some sort of treatment because of your, you know, no discrimination by gender and gender identity. | ||
| And it was like trans stuff. | ||
| And it was like they combined the two of them and they had nothing to do with each other, but they combined them. | ||
| And it was like, that seems like crazy to just take two random things and put them together. | ||
| And they did that a lot. | ||
| We go, it's just legitimately two completely different things. | ||
| I did figure it out. | ||
| I am for this amendment. | ||
| And it's crazy because... | ||
| I bet tons of people go in there and say, well, I don't want medically assisted suicide, but I don't know what yes or no means, because a no vote could be saying if if Democrats are trying to add an amendment to allow it, you want to be opposed to it. | ||
| I don't know who's proposing what and what it does. | ||
| However, I was able to read the amendment. | ||
| No person, physician or health care provider in the state of West Virginia shall participate in the practice of medically assisted suicide, euthanasia or mercy killing of a person. | ||
| Nothing in this section prohibits the administration or prescription of medication for the purpose of alleviating pain or discomfort while the patient's conditions follows its natural course. | ||
| Nor does anything in this section prohibit the withholding or withdrawing of life sustaining treatment as requested by the patient or the patient's decision maker in accordance with the state law. | ||
| Further, nothing in the section prevents the state from providing capital punishment. | ||
| I actually think that's extremely well written and gets to the point. | ||
| If you are terminal, you can say, stop giving me this treatment. | ||
| If you are terminal and you want painkillers, they can't deny you that because of fear that it might terminate your life if you take too many. | ||
| However, if you are otherwise healthy, they cannot help you kill yourself. | ||
| Democrats don't want that. | ||
| Democrats, the ACLU of West Virginia, do not want a provision that would prohibit this. | ||
| They want a circumstance to be possible in West Virginia where a doctor can say, well, you're otherwise healthy, but we're going to help you die. | ||
| Yeah, so there's another aspect of this, which is that they will tangle up refusing care with being euthanized and assisted suicide, which are totally different things. | ||
| So if somebody feels that the care they're receiving is too burdensome, they're able to refuse that and choose not to take the treatment. | ||
| Because people ask, well, how can you be against allowing people to make that kind of a decision? | ||
| But that's not what we're talking about. | ||
| That's already allowed. | ||
| What these laws are talking about is making it legal to intervene to kill the person, which is a totally different thing from just withdrawing care from somebody who's having extremely burdensome treatments. | ||
| It's crazy, too, because one of the advocacy groups says never before has legislature in this country mobilized to an attack like this on terminally ill patients. | ||
| Isn't this the lie Democrats always push? | ||
| This is not at all the argument for the amendment. | ||
| The amendments like if you are terminally ill, you can reject and refuse treatment. | ||
| And they're going, yeah, yeah. | ||
| But what if we want to administer death? | ||
| No, you can't do that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sorry. | |
| But the problem is and why I will always be opposed to any kind of provision that would allow medical assistance in death. | ||
| It's because, you know, for a fact, they will expand it to the most extreme degree imaginable. | ||
| So you get not a single inch from me. | ||
| If we say yes to this, and we allow medically assisted suicide, in three years they'll be offering medically assisted suicide to teenagers without their parents' knowledge. | ||
| I like the right to try stuff, where if there's experimental drugs and people are terminal, that they can go for it. | ||
| Trump's for it, I agree. | ||
| Yeah, psilocybin, like crazy psychoactive therapies and things for people that have nowhere else to go. | ||
| I'm open to that kind of stuff. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm just looking to trip. | |
| But yeah, like a lot of people that are coming up on the end of their life, they say when they take psilocybin... | ||
| He's like, I would like a right to try. | ||
| Right to trip. | ||
| That's what you're talking about. | ||
| That people will find comfort with death. | ||
| It's just the impending death, their own death, their mortality after a psilocybin trip. | ||
| That's been documented. | ||
| I'm open to that kind of stuff, but I know the jury's kind of out on assisted suicide. | ||
| Because I am concerned that they will be like, well, have you thought about... | ||
| Listen, as far as policy goes, it's probably not a good idea. | ||
| My father passed away of cancer about 25 years ago. | ||
| I was in the early 20s. | ||
| And when they told him it was terminal, they gave him a bottle of morphine, and I swear to God, the guy used a shoehorn to get the pills in there. | ||
| And I imagine that's what... | ||
| I can't speak for other doctors or whatever, but they knew my dad was going to die. | ||
| They're like, here you go. | ||
| Be comfortable, right? | ||
| And they gave him a boatload of morphine. | ||
| Enough morphine to kill a horse, definitely. | ||
| And I imagine that's what most doctors do, generally. | ||
| And most people say, we're not going to, you know, we're going to turn our, turn the other way. | ||
| They're saying that, like, as an alternative, is this guy, like, chokes to death for the next week or whatever? | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| And it's like, look, you know, to have a system where the doctors are actually empowered to say, well... | ||
| We could go ahead and offer you, if you'd like, when it comes to people that are maybe not terminal. | ||
| Because you look at what's happening in Canada now, and they're offering medical assistance in dying in a lot of places where it's really, really, really not okay that they're doing it. | ||
| You hear a lot of terrible stories, and like I said... | ||
| The experience that I had when my father had terminal cancer, like, they gave him a boatload of morphine, and if you take enough morphine, your heart's gonna stop. | ||
| You know, it's like, that's just the way that the drug works. | ||
| And I think that that kind of stuff, I know that there are... | ||
| A lot of things like that where you're like, keep it in the gray zone. | ||
| I mean, just because as soon as you give the government the okay, just like Tim said, as soon as you give the government the okay, and you make it policy... | ||
| Now it's an industry. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Well, yeah, I mean, so... | ||
| I believe that in any circumstance intervening to kill somebody is wrong and what happens is when you make this legal and now it's an institution as you all pointed out it becomes an industry on top of that we've already seen as you pointed out Phil how this is manifested in Canada and we have to remember that anytime we talk about normalizing something in the United States that the people trying to normalize it in this country in this instance especially are leftists and they don't function on the basis of Yeah. | ||
| without immense social pressure. | ||
| So what will inevitably happen here is what happens with every other behavior or set of behaviors that the left normalizes. | ||
| At first they say, this is just something we want to have so it can be allowed in certain really gut-wrenching circumstances where we can emotionally manipulate you into thinking it's a good thing. | ||
| And then they end up expanding it to be something that everybody should do. | ||
| And then they actually start shaming people who don't do it. | ||
| We see this all the time. | ||
| So in the same way that women will be told they have internalized misogyny if they don't want to go out and be a girl boss, people will be told they have internalized ableism if they opt not to kill themselves. | ||
| Mark my words, if this becomes legal in the United States, that's going to be a line of reasoning you hear from leftists. | ||
| Look what's already going on where the left was saying that no child is getting sex change surgery without their parents' knowledge. | ||
| And now we have a series of lawsuits from a certain number of individuals. | ||
| And I'm not going to pretend it's in the thousands or whatever, but there's a couple dozen high-profile stories of minors who went to Planned Parenthood or went to other organizations and got testosterone or cross-sex hormones. | ||
| Some got mastectomies. | ||
| And, well, their own words. | ||
| And they've said that they... | ||
| There's one trans man, a young woman. | ||
| She became obese. | ||
| Her hair fell out. | ||
| And now she's like, what have I become? | ||
| I can't believe they tricked me into doing this. | ||
| And now they're suing and they feel like their lives are ruined. | ||
| What happens when it's medically assisted suicide? | ||
| And they go and they say, I can't live this way. | ||
| The pain is too much. | ||
| Don't tell my parents. | ||
| And they go, okay. | ||
| You're saying the edge cases look bad? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I'm just saying, like... | ||
| It's bad enough we have lawsuits from detransitioners. | ||
| Imagine what happens when a dad finds out that a euthanasia center euthanized his 17-year-old daughter without parental knowledge or consent. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, and this is what Republicans warned about. | ||
| Ten years ago with Obamacare when they said if the government starts taking more responsibility for funding and paying for people's healthcare, you are going to end up with death panels. | ||
| And people laughed at that because we all have a normalcy bias and also the phrase death panel sounded very bombastic. | ||
| But if insurance companies can make money off of this, they're going to. | ||
| And if they decide that they can make a lot of money selling someone a pill that will end that person's life or people in the medical industrial complex figure out they can sell this treatment, that quote-unquote treatment that ends a person's life. | ||
| And it'll be less expensive for the insurance companies than funding whatever treatment could get the person in a healthy state. | ||
| I mean, you have all of the economic incentives aligned for people to push the suicide pills the exact way they push all sorts of other medications that we know are bad for us. | ||
| If you actually do believe that healthcare should be between a patient and a doctor, the last thing you want to do is make a policy about death. | ||
| For patients. | ||
| Because then you're going to get all kinds of bureaucracy involved in it. | ||
| And it should remain something that stays between the family and the doctor. | ||
| So if you believe that healthcare is between a family and a doctor, don't make a policy about it. | ||
| These things don't need to be written down and have an official policy that the state backs. | ||
| You're saying the doctor comes in and says, hey, I just brought every episode of Colbert. | ||
| I'm going to play it back-to-back. | ||
| No problem. | ||
| You don't have to get medicine. | ||
| I would prefer a little more humane means. | ||
| I think that would be a violation of the Geneva Convention. | ||
| I hear what you're saying. | ||
| You should have a guy come in and say Borat quotes for the next ten times. | ||
| My wife. | ||
| I would add the caveat that, you know... | ||
| Outside of just basic criminal law that applies to every other situation. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| Obviously a doctor can't kill somebody or do X, Y, or Z, but yeah, I hear what you're saying. | ||
| A policy about medical insistence in dying, not a policy about whether or not it's legal for a doctor to kill you. | ||
| Like letting them do that. | ||
| Because again, like I said, my situation was the doctor said, here, I'm prescribing you this medication, and the bottle was as full as it gets. | ||
| I mean, you couldn't take the top off without trying to... | ||
| And he sort of said, wink, wink. | ||
| So you think that the doctors didn't do an assisted suicide type thing? | ||
| Well, look, I wasn't in the room. | ||
| It was my mom and my dad, so I don't know. | ||
| But I also know that they said, here... | ||
| Here's all of the medication that you're going to need. | ||
| He didn't have a doctor there. | ||
| It was at home, so it wasn't the doctor there to make sure it was being administered properly. | ||
| Again, it's hearsay and stuff. | ||
| I mean, legally, this doctor's probably, if he was listening to this, he'd be like, shut up! | ||
| It was a long time ago, and I don't know who the doctor was or whatever. | ||
| Like I said, I never met the doctor. | ||
| It wasn't his name. | ||
| But the point is, doctors and patients can solve these things, can take care of these things. | ||
| You don't need the state stepping in and saying, hey, we got this great new policy, kill yourself. | ||
| Do you think there's ever a place for, like, if a doctor is saying, hey, the patient, your family member, is suffering and we don't think they're going to make it, maybe you should consider pulling the plug, that the government should ever have a place to come in and be like, you can't do that, doc. | ||
| If there's a plug, then the person's not suffering. | ||
| Well, I just want to make this point. | ||
| I mean, firstly, I'm very sorry about your loss with your father, by the way. | ||
| I would say that I don't believe a medical professional should ever. | ||
| You're a bad person. | ||
| But legitimately, though, I don't think a medical professional should ever do anything. | ||
| I mean, they take an oath not to harm or kill people for any reason. | ||
| But the point, I think there's a difference, Ian, between a doctor going out of their way to end somebody's life and withdrawing care when the person... | ||
| And if the care is burdensome, so, granted, you can have examples where someone has a very easily treatable illness, and they... | ||
| There are arguments to be like, yeah, okay, in that situation, the doctor has a responsibility to intervene. | ||
| But when you get to these cases where somebody is only able to maintain any of their biological functions because they're hooked up to all these machines and without the machines they would die. | ||
| And this is clearly like very burdensome for them and damaging their body. | ||
| Then there's a moral calculus that can be done to determine like, is this inordinate means of care? | ||
| Like, are these extraordinary means of care that go beyond what we could reasonably expect a person to do to stay alive? | ||
| And then you can withdraw that care if it's too much. | ||
| But that's, again, that's different from saying, I am going to kill this person. | ||
| I'm going to end their life on purpose or even if they're sick. | ||
| No, even if they're sick, there's a difference between, let's say, the same exact situation. | ||
| Guys hooked up to a machine. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no, no. | |
| I get it. | ||
| And shooting him. | ||
| My point is, if someone has an illness by which they will survive in any reasonable circumstances versus someone who is confirmed terminal. | ||
| Like depression. | ||
| Otherwise healthy is like, you are sick to a certain degree, but you will live. | ||
| Yes, but I would also have that terminal. | ||
| Even if it's their terminal, don't kill them. | ||

| Also, Tammy Baldwin is buying Libertarian Party ads in Wisconsin. | ||
| The poll closing needs to be investigated. | ||
| Shenanigans. | ||
| So here's one of my favorite stories from the day. | ||
| Local news reported that in Pennsylvania, a bunch of potentially fraudulent voter registrations emerged, and they're investigating. | ||
| Trump then tweets out, wow, shocking, they found potential fraudulent voter applications. | ||
| Then CNN and the New York Times say Trump stokes fears about voter fraud. | ||
| That's hilarious. | ||
| Trump read the news. | ||
| That's all he did. | ||
| He just said, wow, can you believe this is crazy? | ||
| I can't believe it's happening. | ||
| They're saying there's potential voter fraud and the media attacked him for it. | ||
| It's like, this is what they always do. | ||
| Republicans pounce. | ||
| This is historically what they do to Trump. | ||
| Trump reads the news and then they attack the story that he read. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Let's go! | ||
| Garbage. | ||
| Have you guys seen this video that's going viral? | ||
| Which one? | ||
| Dragon Age is an amazing game. | ||
| I can't remember the last one I played, but they've got a new game. | ||
| I think it was the most recent one. | ||
| They've got a new Dragon Age coming out, and there's a scene going viral where someone accidentally misgenders a god, and then has to do push-up. | ||
| A god? | ||
| And then has to do push-ups. | ||
| And they're like, what are you doing? | ||
| And it's a two-minute scene where they explain how when you misgender someone, you have to pay penance because you have to show that you actually mean it or something. | ||
| So she starts doing push-ups. | ||
| And she's like, this way, you don't just say it and go, ha, ha, ha, oops. | ||
| You actually sweat a little bit. | ||
| It's like, yo, there's no way I'm buying that game. | ||
| Doing push-ups for calling Muhammad a girl? | ||
| It was like barv or something. | ||
| Pulling a barv, they called it. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| That's just insane. | ||
| But I wonder if you could play the game. | ||
| Yeah, you gotta be quite a sucker to actually sit through the push-ups. | ||
| For most people, it'd be like, oh, that's probably the end of this game for me. | ||
| I won't even buy the game after seeing that. | ||
| I'm like, I'm just not interested, dude. | ||
| Dragon Age, they're all pretty good games. | ||
| They're real fun. | ||
| But I'm not going to go anywhere near whatever that garbage is. | ||
| That's a crazy one to slip in. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| Just play Skyrim, where it's funny because people are pointing out that in early Bethesda games, and like Obsidian games, like Skyrim and Oblivion, there's gay dating, just because they were too lazy to actually code anything related to it. | ||
| So it was like, it's so base that it's just like they're companions and you can court them, and there's no lines written for any kind of like, you're a dude. | ||
| So it just kind of happens. | ||
| But now they're actively pursuing, making it special things. | ||
| Did you see that, Ian? | ||
| New Dragon Age? | ||
| Yeah, dude, I saw that clip. | ||
| She misgenders a god, and then she's like, oh, I better do push-ups now. | ||
| I gotta prostrate myself and flagellate. | ||
| I gotta do ten push-ups. | ||
| It's so ridiculous. | ||
| I want to play that game. | ||
| I just play Mass Effect instead. | ||
| Dude, I'm bummed because I was excited for the new Dragon Age, but I won't go anywhere new. | ||
| I'm going to play the Dragon Age trilogy, the first three, but that fourth one looks ridiculous. | ||
| I'm not going to touch it. | ||
| Maybe that was just a clip of optional dialogue, but that's ridiculous. | ||
| Well, I'm also wondering if you can disparage the person for doing it. | ||
| Yeah, maybe. | ||
| Because something happens where the person responds, and a character goes, that's very open-minded of you. | ||
| And I'm like, can I put, you're a moron, shut the F up. | ||
| They were like, something non-binary. | ||
| I was like, I just pissed out of it. | ||
| Not the only non-binary god, but when you misgender them, you've got to sweat a little bit. | ||
| Non-binary god. | ||
| It's a real clip, dude. | ||
| I'm not, yep. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| Maybe we should play that on the after show. | ||
| That's so ridiculous where gaming is at. | ||
| Is that Bioware? | ||
| Still Bioware? | ||
| Yep, yep. | ||

|
Jeez. | |
| All right. | ||
| Common Sense Fishing says, please pray for my daughter again on life support. | ||
| She will lose her leg to amputation tomorrow or Friday. | ||
| Hopefully no brain damage. | ||
| Link to help on my channel under community post. | ||
| Most important prayer. | ||
| Please pray. | ||
| Sorry to hear it, man. | ||
| I hope for the best. | ||
| I hope everybody prays for you. | ||
| Ian, manifest something. | ||
| You have to do it. | ||
| Healing the lower back, opening up, loosening that blood flow, man. | ||
| I wonder what the condition is. | ||
| Is it some kind of blood infection causing amputation? | ||
| Okay, what do we have here? | ||
| Stevie Vivi says, who certifies the electorate? | ||
| The VP. She gets the candidacy and position if she does what they say Trump wanted Pence to do. | ||
| Full projection. | ||
| We'll see. | ||
| January 6th, 2025. | ||
| Could you imagine if it's the exact same thing but inverted? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You're laughing. | ||
| It'd be funny. | ||
| I mean, that'd be insane. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, if there was a Democrat January 6th, that'd be pretty funny. | ||
| It'd be hilarious. | ||
| But Ray Epps shows up again, but this time he's wearing a blue – he's wearing the Harris Waltz camo hat. | ||
| White dudes for Harris from the Capitol. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Of course that would be funny. | ||
| It'd be awful, but we'd laugh. | ||
| All right. | ||
| That's a guy thing, right? | ||
| Awesome is not always good, but awesome is always awesome. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Strikes awe into those that subside. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Yeah, they're hanging the Tim Walz thing because Tim Walz isn't going along with him. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Who the hell? | |
| Harris. | ||
| He's the VP. | ||
| Kane Abel says, Seamus, is Luke, Florida alligator man in your cartoons? | ||
| Oh, in Common Sense. | ||
| Tim, what will you do about the mainstream media trying to kick you and several others off YouTube, silencing you? | ||
| I don't really see this as a big story. | ||
| This is like the 897th time corporate press has done something like this. | ||
| The only difference is that they asked for a comment. | ||
| It's meaningless. | ||
| So to answer the question about Luke, no. | ||
| So Florida Man, there's another channel I run called Common Sense Soapbox, where we create these educational cartoons for the Foundation for Economic Education, and myself and Sean Malone write these. | ||
| And we made this little character named Florida Man, who is in no way, shape, or form affiliated with Luke, other than occupying the same state. | ||
| And I assume Florida Man doesn't like him. | ||
| Well, all right. | ||
| And that was the thing where the news messaged you and Tucker Carlson? | ||
| Is that what happened? | ||
| They messaged tons of people, but it's not even a story. | ||
| It is funny, though, because the message is like, hey, we're writing a story about why you're bad. | ||
| It's not just that. | ||
| They never asked a question. | ||
| So the thing that I received was like, we've used research from Media Matters to identify misinformation. | ||
| Can you comment? | ||
| And I was like, what? | ||
| Do you want me to comment on Media Matters? | ||
| Like, what are you asking me to comment on? | ||
| They don't even tell you what specifically they're saying. | ||
| Just in general that you're a misinformation guy. | ||
| You didn't even say that! | ||
| It was like, we're doing a story on around 30 personalities and we flagged some people from Media Matters and it was like, among this, here are some of the things we're mentioning. | ||
| And it's like, it doesn't mention me. | ||
| What I was sent was just like, here's a bunch of things we're concerned with. | ||
| I was like, okay. | ||
| And then they were like, can you comment? | ||
| I was like, what? | ||
| Will you disavow misinformation, essentially? | ||
| But I can understand with Ben, they were like, Ben, you said this thing. | ||
| I didn't get that. | ||
| They said, like, can you comment on me? | ||
| So what do you think their angle is? | ||
| They're like, we don't even really want you to respond. | ||
| We just want to be able to put into the thing that we reached out for comment. | ||
| I don't even know what the point of reaching out is. | ||
| So they can say you declined to comment. | ||
| Yeah, but these stories come out every week. | ||
| That's what I'm saying. | ||
| Like, the Stanford Institute wrote some fake thing saying that I was an election misinformation guy or whatever, and I'm like, okay. | ||
| The funny thing is I always say, Piers Morgan asked me about it, and I said Politico simultaneously has two stories live right now. | ||
| One says that Ukraine interfered in the 2016 election to help Hillary Clinton. | ||
| The other says the story that Ukraine interfered in the 2016 election to help Hillary Clinton is Russian disinformation. | ||
| But Politico posted the story! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So they're calling them... | ||
| They never retracted either. | ||
| How could both stories be live from the same organization at the same time as true facts? | ||
| It's nonsense. | ||
| Is one an opinion? | ||
| No, they're both fact-based. | ||
| They're both masquerading as fact-based. | ||
| And they're contradictory. | ||
| And I'm like, well, that makes no sense. | ||
| And I've called this out for years. | ||
| These stories have been live. | ||
| The first one's from 2017. | ||
| Seven years ago. | ||
| The other one's from, I think, 2020. | ||
| And I'm like, running both stories. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Okay, I guess. | ||
| Without a correction. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, and so my response is, if you've got an issue with anything I've said, I guess take it up with yourselves, because what did we cite today? | ||
| ABC News, The New York Times, CNN? Okay. | ||
| We didn't even do that ABC article where they accidentally posted that Kamala won Pennsylvania 52-48. | ||
| We'll talk about that for the members. | ||
| Talk about shadowy. | ||
| This happens all the time. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| This story is not new. | ||
| It's why I don't really care that much because it happens 15 times every election cycle. | ||
| This is so dirty. | ||
| Every corporate news outlet has pre-made chyrons and then someone presses live and it flickers and appears on the screen. | ||
| Subliminal. | ||
| Oops. | ||
| It just happens all the time, guys. | ||
| No, it's that they have to create graphics for Election Day in advance, kind of like how we make graphics for Nashville in advance. | ||
| If I accidentally clicked the Nashville live screen, people would be like, whoa, what was that? | ||
| Tim's going to be in Nashville. | ||
| I'm like, well, yeah, we made the graphic well in advance. | ||
| We're working on the graphics before we announced it. | ||
| I kind of thought that, too, when I saw that one. | ||
| I'm like, obviously, they probably make both, I'm sure, yeah. | ||
| Yeah, and then they type the numbers in later on. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's not that they made both. | ||
| It's that they have the graphics for Trump and Kamala, and then what happens is they have random numbers put in it, and then someone accidentally presses go live, and it appears on the live display. | ||
| If there was a grand conspiracy to have this in advance, all you have to do is look at those numbers and look at the numbers later on. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| And if they're the same thing, then you've got a problem. | ||
| I am concerned with predictive programming, too, so it could be an accident. | ||
| It did say that Kamala won PA by like a million votes or something. | ||
| Or like 500,000. | ||
| Alright, Donald DeVole says, I disagree. | ||
| I think Kamala will win if she goes on Joe's podcast. | ||
| If she comes off likable, which I think she would, it's over. | ||
| Game over. | ||
| She has played men her whole life. | ||
| Nah, she can't do it. | ||
| I know what he's doing. | ||
| This guy's trying to trick her into going on Joe's podcast. | ||
| Yes, that's right. | ||
| You would do great if you did it, Kamala. | ||
| No, wait, don't. | ||
| Trump supporters are terrified of Kamala. | ||
| John Cronin says a comedian at a Trump rally called Puerto Rico garbage as a joke. | ||
| So Kamala and Joe called half of America garbage. | ||
| Great idea, guys. | ||
| LOL. Now that's winning. | ||
| It was a funny joke. | ||
| Well, that's why they're walking it back. | ||
| J.D. Vance, this is from Illuminati. | ||
| J.D. Vance just told a crowd at a town hall how to legally vote ten times. | ||
| When you go to the polls, bring nine friends along with you. | ||
| And look, I went and voted, and then we all got chicken wings. | ||
| But only Allison and I voted, and then Sheamus just came and hung out. | ||
| Listen, hold on a sec. | ||
| Well, yeah, exactly. | ||
| But I did vote. | ||
| I did vote. | ||
| You voted somewhere else, right? | ||
| Yeah, yeah, I traveled to vote. | ||
| And then we all got Buffalo Wild Wings. | ||
| Did they get voted over the weekend, too? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Not really. | |
| But I will also add that I bought a bunch of hot sauce from Buffalo Wild Wings. | ||
| What kind? | ||
| All of them. | ||
| The spicy ones. | ||
| Because we're going to do, for the boonies, a hot sauce skate. | ||
| Where, for those that don't know what a game of skate is, just replace it with the word horse. | ||
| If you've played horse in basketball. | ||
| But every time you miss, you don't get a letter. | ||
| You have to shoot the incrementally hotter hot sauce. | ||
| Oh. | ||
| Oh, brutal. | ||
| Until you concede. | ||
| The woman you purchased this from? | ||
| Don't miss! | ||
| I'm not playing. | ||
| There's no way. | ||
| I can't do a lot of stuff, period. | ||
| And then, like, one of them, they didn't have the hottest one at B-Dubs. | ||
| It's all Blazin' Knockout. | ||
| I've tried it before. | ||
| It is spicy. | ||
| Me and Danny did a sketch about hot sauce, and I was trying to avoid it, but we were putting hot sauce on wings for the sketch, and I had like one bite. | ||
| It ruined my week. | ||
| Oh, dude, I love super spicy stuff, but I hate needlessly spicy stuff. | ||
| So I went to a hot sauce store. | ||
| Anything that is naturally occurring spice, I'm fine with. | ||
| Even Carolina Reaper. | ||
| It's spicy. | ||
| It hurts. | ||
| It burns. | ||
| I'm not going to leisurely eat that stuff. | ||
| But I have no problem being like, oh, this is like a naturally occurring pepper hot sauce. | ||
| I'll eat it. | ||
| What I can't stand is when they make the fake hot sauce where they extract capsaicin and inject it into a sauce. | ||
| No, that's fake. | ||
| Yeah, so those peppers too are like genetically, through breeding, genetically modified. | ||
| Like Carolina Reaper. | ||
| Moruga Scorpion maybe? | ||
| Yeah, they're trying to make them spicier and spicier. | ||
| Like habanero stuff is spicy, but it's delicious. | ||
| Ghost pepper, too. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I really love it. | |
| I think it tastes great. | ||
| I think it has a good flavor. | ||
| It's too spicy. | ||
| I'm not going to enjoy... | ||
| I'm not going to leisurely eat a big old thing of wings covered in the hottest hot sauce. | ||
| But if I had a couple, I'd be like, it tastes good, but it's getting too spicy for me. | ||
| If you buy... | ||
| Or if someone says you can't. | ||
| If I'm allowed to eat it? | ||
| No, if someone's like, you couldn't handle this, like, pussy. | ||
| Like, you know, then all of a sudden you're like, I'll eat the whole batch, you know? | ||
| Oh, then I would guzzle the hot sauce and be like, don't you show... | ||
| No, I'm kidding, I'm kidding. | ||
| If someone said I made wings with a hot sauce where we added extra capsaicin extract or whatever, I'm like, I'm not going to eat that. | ||
| That's stupid. | ||
| And yo, a funny story. | ||
| I went to a hot sauce store in LA and I bought legit additive hot sauce. | ||
| It was like they make hot sauce with the hottest peppers, then they extract capsaicin and put it in it. | ||
| My buddy said, let's try it. | ||
| So he poured some on his hand and then wiped it off and his hand blistered. | ||
| No joke. | ||
| I was like, what? | ||
| I was like, dude! | ||
| And he was like, I'm not eating that. | ||
| Is that what they put in pepper spray? | ||
| Is that the same stuff? | ||
| So it got really red and then got swollen and he wiped it off. | ||
| It wasn't hot sauce. | ||
| That was like mustard. | ||
| Well, it's pure capsaicin. | ||
| It's an irritant. | ||
| It's bad for you. | ||
| Damn. | ||
| And here's the funny thing. | ||
| B-dubs warned me when I was buying this. | ||
| They were like, I told them what I was going to do with it. | ||
| We're like, we're going to make people take shots of it. | ||
| And they were like, don't do that because that'll mess you up. | ||
| It really will. | ||
| Legally, we can't sell this to you if you say you're doing that. | ||
| No, but they were just like... | ||
| Take it back, please. | ||
| They were like, be careful because it'll make you really sick. | ||
| It'll mess you up if you do that. | ||
| And I'm like, we know. | ||
| We're going to do it anyway. | ||
| They thanked you after you left. | ||
| So the woman came up to me after you left, and she's like, were you with the man who bought that? | ||
| She's like, please thank him. | ||
| Are you for real? | ||
| Yeah, I'm for real. | ||
| They asked me to thank you. | ||
| It was like $200 worth of Vox. | ||
| That's just something ridiculous. | ||
| So, Special Mike is one of our team writers. | ||
| And he's really good, but he's not a flip trick guy. | ||
| So this is like ground skating, doing versatile tricks. | ||
| He's really good at really big stuff. | ||
| But I'm telling everybody, he will be undefeatable in this game. | ||
| Because no matter how many tricks you do, that dude will just be squinting and slamming hot sauce. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That's how tough he is. | ||
| And he's not a tough guy where he's like, I can do it. | ||
| He's like, yeah, no problem, man. | ||
| I'll take some more hot sauce. | ||
| He'll be crying and beat right up. | ||
| It's cool. | ||
| I'm good. | ||
| I can keep playing. | ||
| And we're like, dude, you just can't knock this guy down. | ||
| It's like Homer Simpson fighting Drederick Tatum. | ||
| He's just going to keep taking the hits, but it'll be fun. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Justin M says Rogan will vote for Trump, but he will never admit it. | ||
| I completely agree. | ||
| Well, did you see what Joe just said recently? | ||
| RFK Jr., Vivek, Tulsi Gabbard, Elon, I love this stuff. | ||
| He basically said, I'm voting Trump. | ||
| It is pretty funny. | ||
| If you think about, imagine like the Democrats right now, we're like Ted Cruz. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| It is wild. | ||
| Well, it is. | ||
| The Democrats have Liz and Dick Cheney and Adam Kinzinger. | ||
| And the Republicans have Tulsi Gabbard, RFK Jr., Elon Musk, Vivek, J.D. Vance. | ||
| I'm like... | ||
| It's a dream team. | ||
| Like, Tulsi Gabbard being brought in? | ||
| I said he should have done this four years ago, and now they basically have a moderate, eclectic bunch of individuals. | ||
| I've seen some conservatives that aren't happy about it. | ||
| They're just like... | ||
| I've seen some conservative people be like, if you haven't noticed, all of the Republicans are Democrats now. | ||
| Well, a lot of the Democrats and Republicans are too, and it's very weird. | ||
| It's so weird. | ||
| You know what's really funny? | ||
| There's a song by a band called Propagandhi, if you guys ever heard it. | ||
| Stick the effing flag up your... | ||
| Nation States. | ||
| Nation States? | ||
| Is that one of them? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Have you ever heard Stick the Flag Up Your Ass, though? | ||
| No. | ||
| So this is a song I've known about since I was a little kid, and it's funny. | ||
| Listen to that song, and what the band is criticizing. | ||
| They're criticizing the war machine. | ||
| And they're criticizing, like, the Boy Scouts chanting war. | ||
| Bette Midler now is in sainthood. | ||
| Romanticize murder for morale. | ||
| And all of that, I'm like, yes, absolutely bad stuff. | ||
| But then he says, F the troops and F the flag. | ||
| And I'm like, it's really, really funny. | ||
| Because if you actually believe in America but criticize the machine state's warmongering, the song still applies. | ||
| If you rewrote that song and said, we love this country and that's why we will reject the warmonger interventionists and their lackeys in the corporate press, the song's message is fantastic. | ||
| just get rid of the burn the flag part and be like no no no the message of america is that we will take this country back from those people but i was uh i think it was aaron burgh yesterday i was playing the song on the guitar and he was like it's a great song and i'm like yeah except back then criticizing the flag in this country was like this liberal thing but now the liberals are on board with the war machine now it's weird the conservatives and patriots are like the war machine is bad but still align with a lot of the message of a song that hated the flag it's It's kind of weird. | ||
| Yeah, that's one of the biggest switches probably in the last ten. | ||
| Wild. | ||
| So that and if you listen to the Offsprings early songs, they have a song called Tehran where they're basically criticizing the government for saying go to war and bomb Tehran and all this stuff. | ||
| And they have another song on their album that I can't actually say the name of. | ||
| They removed it later on because it was it was it it it bordered on illegal what the title of the song is. | ||
| I'll mention I don't even mention the song in the members only to be honest. | ||
| You know what? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Can you write it on a piece of paper and slip it to me? | |
| Yep. | ||
| But I cannot speak the words. | ||
| American military policy. | ||
| The words of the song are a threat to the president. | ||
| The title of it is literally an illegal statement about the president. | ||
| They removed the song from their album. | ||
| Now look where they are. | ||
| They may as well write a song called, like, Obey Daddy Government, Life is Great. | ||
| That's the offspring today. | ||
| Alright, let's grab a couple more before we get out of here. | ||
| Alright, what is this? | ||
| Swift Gaming says, Ryan is right, I'm 38. | ||
| I should be thinking about my family, my kids, my house, my mortgage, but I don't have any of that. | ||
| So what's left for me to think about? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| But my point wasn't just, my point wasn't to put any of the onus on the people. | ||
| My point was that people make communities online now. | ||
| So your predominant community, so many people spend more time with those like online people and who you're around. | ||
| If you work on the internet, you work at home. | ||
| So I think that a lot of people, the period where you're like hyper involved in things is just extended because of the internet. | ||
