| Several states are declaring states of emergency because their food stamp money is going to run out. | ||
| I'm going to say that again. | ||
| Several states have declared a state of emergency because they're not getting money from the federal government for food stamps. | ||
| Now, they're doing this so they can start pulling funds from other areas because that's how important this is to many of them. | ||
| And I wonder how much the fear of riots plays into it. | ||
| TheRoot.com is trying to make a viral video happen. | ||
| It's not happening. | ||
| Where a woman is organizing a mass riot on a scheduled date, I kid you not. | ||
| She says, everybody on this date, go to Walmart at this time because they can't arrest all of us and run forced run. | ||
| Apparently, she's not familiar with Three Stooges syndrome, where when you try to jam all of the people through the door at one time, they can't get out and thus will be easily arrested. | ||
| So we'll talk about that. | ||
| Plus, fears of, I know everybody and their mother says it, World War III, because Donald Trump has ordered the beginning of nuclear testing, which is interesting nonetheless. | ||
| And we've got a judge saying that he's going to order Trump to unfreeze these benefits. | ||
| So we'll talk about that and a lot more. | ||
| Before we do, we've got a great sponsor. | ||
| It is Bearskin, my friends. | ||
| You guys have seen the Bearskin hoodie that I wear sometimes. | ||
| It's amazing. | ||
| It's super comfortable. | ||
| And I absolutely love it. | ||
| 340 GSM Bearskin B-A-E-R skin micro fleece. | ||
| So, smart people, right now they're getting their winter gear because it's starting to get cold out. | ||
| This is hands down the best time to prep for the coming winter. | ||
| Bearskin is running a 60% off deal right now, but only if you get your hoodie early. | ||
| This hoodie is built like a tank: 340 GSM micro fleece, 10 pockets with a clean, rugged fit that looks awesome. | ||
| Plus, it zips right into the heavy storm rain jacket to become 100% waterproof when you need it. | ||
| So when it turns cold, wet, and windy, you're not scrambling at the last minute. | ||
| You'll get free U.S. shipping, fast delivery, and you locked in your winter gear already. | ||
| That's a win-win. | ||
| So, do yourself a favor: text the word Tim to 36912 to lock in your 60% off. | ||
| Again, that's Tim to 36912. | ||
| You'll get a link sent straight to your phone. | ||
| You can click it whenever you want to buy the hoodie. | ||
| It's fantastic. | ||
| And one more thing: when you support Bearskin, you're also supporting the Fallen Outdoors and Hope for the Warriors veterans programs. | ||
| So you're not just buying great gear, you're back in a cause that matters. | ||
| Don't wait till you're freezing. | ||
| Text Tim to 36912. | ||

| I'm good. | ||
| I can't believe where you live. | ||
| In the middle of nowhere? | ||
| I mean, good God. | ||
| Well, I love it. | ||
| Who are you? | ||
| What do you do? | ||
| Oh, I am, I'm, I'm from California. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I can't believe where you live. | |
| You're going to dog on this place. | ||
| I know. | ||
| I know. | ||
| I spent quite a bit of time with your staff, and they're quite interesting. | ||
| And Josh is from California. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And that was the number one question: Have you ever wanted to leave? | ||
| You know, and I'm like, no, no, no. | ||
| I want to stay. | ||
| I want to stick it out. | ||
| Don't worry about me. | ||
| Worry about my enemies. | ||
| Well, so what do you do? | ||
| I build houses. | ||
| I have a farm. | ||
| I've got a farm business. | ||
| You have chickens. | ||
| I have chickens. | ||
| That's good news. | ||
| We got a lot of chickens. | ||
| Pass the test. | ||
| Yeah, we got lots of chickens. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Excellent. | |
| We have a farm stand. | ||
| We do CSA. | ||
| Hey, we do Snap. | ||
| Oh. | ||
| Our Snap program's fine, by the way. | ||
| We have a large painting of a rooster, Mary. | ||
| I like that. | ||
| Yeah, chickens are great. | ||
| Roosters drive me crazy, by the way. | ||
| We have a bunch of them, and they just never stop. | ||
| It's true. | ||
| Worst. | ||
| They're just yelling. | ||
| The chickens are fine. | ||
| The roosters are a bit loud. | ||
| So I came out to DC. | ||
| I've been in DC this week, and I've been meeting with a bunch of lawmakers, you know, trying to help out California. | ||
| Well, it needs it. | ||
| Yeah, we met with EPA. | ||
| Oh, interesting. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| EPA's interested in cleaning up the California River and the Tijuana River and the Colorado before they collide there. | ||
| So that's good. | ||
| Right on. | ||
| Well, it should be fun. | ||
| Thanks for hanging out. | ||
| We're going to have a good time. | ||
| I'm really glad to be here. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| You got Mary hanging out. | ||

| That's why myself and my team do what we do to push back. | ||
| And that's why we're stepping out and expanding into creating a full half-hour long TV-length show with episodes that range from roughly 22 to 25 minutes at twistedplots.com. | ||

| With your support, I will be unstoppable. | ||
| Let's go. | ||

|
All right. | |
| Here's the first story from Newsweek. | ||
| SNAP benefits update emergency declared as funding runs out. | ||
| Oh boy, who's doing New York? | ||
| Governor Kathy Hochul has declared a state of emergency on Thursday. | ||
| After federal funding shortfalls threaten SNAP, Hochul post on the next, the Trump administration would rather starve children and families than lift a finger to help them put food on the table. | ||
| I'm declaring a state of emergency to use every tool we have to help the 3 million New Yorkers losing food assistance because of the GOP shutdown. | ||
| But wait, Maryland has declared a state of emergency. | ||
| What do they say? | ||
| Maryland, but Maryland Governor Westmore declared a state of emergency on Thursday over the upcoming loss of SNAP benefits. | ||
| Quote, Donald Trump is refusing to deploy emergency federal funds, funding that would keep food assistance programs running during the shutdown. | ||
| By doing that, I want to be clear, he is breaking the law. | ||
| And then Delaware did it. | ||
| Delaware governor declared state. | ||
| Okay, we get the point. | ||
| They're all starting to declare emergencies over SNAP because large portions of our society are dependent upon the government for their very existence. | ||
| And I do not view this as sustainable, nor do I view this as Donald Trump's fault. | ||
| I was talking with Senator Rand Paul earlier, and he was pointing out that Democrats are the ones who are blocking this. | ||
| They could vote for it at any point. | ||
| And the important distinction here, which Rand Paul brought up, this is a continuing resolution from the Biden budget. | ||
| It is exactly what Biden had already approved, and Democrats were for it then and now are acting like they can't sign it now. | ||
| So I want to ask you, you mentioned you do farm work or you have a farm. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So we've been talking about this, about the fact that SNAP obviously affects the price of food and grocery stores have very thin profit margins. | ||
| And so it's difficult to work out exactly how this is going to affect the economy and food markets overall. | ||
| I'm curious if you have any particular insight into that as someone who is a farmer and has experience with agriculture. | ||
| Well, SNAP is an evolution. | ||
| Food stamps weren't SNAP. | ||
| They weren't called SNAP. | ||
| They're now called SNAP. | ||
| Originally, it was a supplement. | ||
| I think it actually, I think supplement might be the first time. | ||
| Supplemental nutrition. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| It was vegetables, fruit, nuts. | ||
| It was things that were natural and organic. | ||
| And so they would send it to grocery stores, and then you could turn in your SNAP coupons at grocery stores. | ||
| Now it's part of EBT, which is the electronic benefit, which is how they just deposit money into your account. | ||
| And so SNAP has to go from a farm to be packed and washed and sent to a grocery store. | ||
| And by the time it gets there, it's really not so focused on just really good nutrient, nutrition, high-nutrient food. | ||
| Yeah, you can use EBT cards to purchase candy bars. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Exactly. | |
| People are buying Coca-Cola food and then selling it in plates on Facebook Marketplace to other people in the hood on an upcharge. | ||
| So they're literally making a profit off of their SNAP benefits. | ||
| Do you know about this? | ||
| I mean, there's been a long history of that. | ||
| There's been a long history of, you know, kind of brutalizing the food stamp business. | ||
| And people have been selling their food stamps for decades. | ||
| The sad part is, is that, you know, really, the SNAP program needs to be standalone. | ||
| That's what kind of, I think Bobby Kennedy was working on through HHS was to have SNAP be sort of a program where it really was fruit, vegetables, nuts, things that are potatoes, and then it would go to fulfillment centers and then it would be, you know, last mile deliberate. | ||
| You could still buy it on coupons, but you'd actually get good food. | ||
| You wouldn't be able to go there and sell them and convert. | ||
| And I know that that's not what this is about. | ||
| This is simply about the fact that the government shut down. | ||
| But at the end of the day, my farm stand, we are doing SNAP. | ||
| And most of the people that I know in California that have independent farm stands and independent grocery, they're doing SNAP. | ||
| So I'm curious, do you know when this changed and why? | ||
| When they decided to move away from giving people genuinely nutritious foods and started to allow them to basically purchase anything at a grocery store? | ||
| I am not sure when it happened, but it would be, I would say in the last 15 years, this whole thing has become so corrupt. | ||
| You know, the amount of money that they're fighting over is $187 billion. | ||
| Do you just think about that? | ||
| Are there any restrictions on what you can buy with SNAP? | ||
| Sure, there are. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hot stuff. | |
| The grocery store is not going to be cooked. | ||
| Imagine if you get groceries and they go bad. | ||
| You're not going to, you're going to give the stamps back. | ||
| You know, you just give somebody something else. | ||
| It's all about farm to table has to be, you know, two-hand touch. | ||
| It can't sit for weeks and weeks and weeks. | ||
| It's very difficult to deliver fresh food on this kind of a program. | ||
| It is, I think, probably the large corporations lobbying to change the system to allow people to buy whatever they want. | ||
| Because soft drinks are two of the top 10, two of the top 10 items purchased with food stamps. | ||
| And it's so much profit. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And they're saying Walmart's going to lose billions of dollars. | ||
| So these big corporations have been subsidizing themselves off of taxpayer dollars. | ||
| It's laughably insane. | ||
| And it's not just that. | ||
| There's this old documentary from like 15, 20 years ago talking about how Walmart, and maybe this is wrong or whatever, but I saw this in some documentary. | ||
| Walmart would tell staff, if you can't afford to work here because you don't make enough money, apply for welfare on top of your pay to supplement to offset. | ||
| So the argument for a long time has been that Walmart subsidizes themselves through making their workers take benefits and then having people use benefits to buy from Walmart. | ||
| Well, and it's funny because left-wing people will try to use that as an argument for why we shouldn't cut EBT. | ||
| Like you think that's a good argument? | ||
| Like I'm supposed to want to prop Walmart up with tax dollars? | ||
| I mean, I don't think the majority of the right is even advocating for SNAP to be abolished. | ||
| No. | ||
| It's just saying that we need to root out the corruption. | ||
| A lot of the people who actually need it and would be more deserving of it, hardworking people who are married, don't qualify because they make responsible decisions. | ||
| And so many people who don't need it are getting it. | ||
| I like that. | ||
| In order to receive the benefits, you have to be married for at least a certain amount of time and you can't get a divorce. | ||
| That's a huge reason why people are applying for it and getting denied is because they're married. | ||
| I think people that are single eat it more. | ||
| A lot of people talking about this on Twitter saying like, I'm married. | ||
| My husband makes, you know, whatever, less than 40K, less than 30K a year. | ||
| And they've applied for SNAP before and got denied. | ||
| And they wonder why. | ||
| And people say, it's because you're married. | ||
| You're more likely to get it. | ||
| You're more likely to get approved for all sorts of benefits if you're unmarried. | ||
| And that's incentivizing your responsibility. | ||
| Yeah, and I understand what you're saying, by the way, that there are single mothers, for example, who might need this, but part of the difficulty is the program ends up creating an incentive that pushes fathers out of the homes. | ||
| And so you go, how is there a way to structure this where we ensure that people who really do need it are getting it, but where it's not creating these broken homes? | ||
| Because there are also instances, this is going to not to shock and scandalize anyone in this audience, right? | ||
| I'm sure you guys have never heard of this, but there are people who will live together outside of marriage and they could get married. | ||
| But one of the reasons they don't is because if they do, the woman will not be able to continue to collect the welfare that she's getting. | ||
| People are lying about the members of their household in order to get accepted for these applications. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| And you know what? | ||
| The only reason why there should be a state of emergency declared in any of these states is because people are openly threatening to riot and loot stores on TikTok with their whole face showing their whole government name on their profile. | ||
| Well, yep. | ||
| The thing is, you guys know the story of perverse incentive, where it was like the British colonials in India said, we got a snake problem. | ||
| So we're going to pay you a dollar for every snake head you bring us. | ||
| And they went, okay. | ||
| They went home and started breeding snakes. | ||
| So they thought they were going to get rid of them and they just made the problem worse. | ||
| And that's exactly what we get with this program, although it's not funny. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| It's very, no, I agree with you. | ||
| It's very sad. | ||
| Part of the interesting thing about that particular story is you got to remember this is this was the British in India. | ||
| So there's not going to be the same level of solidarity built up between the government and the people there. | ||
| And the same thing actually happens with the federal government. | ||
| When this stuff is handled by local communities, people who know each other are feeding their neighbors, it's a completely different story. | ||
| You're more discerning about who gets the food. | ||
| People who have a reputation for being liars or being hustlers or being scammers or grifters are going to be weeded out just by virtue of what their reputation is. | ||
| But because we federalized all of this, it makes it nearly impossible to figure out who the liars are, who the phonies are. | ||
| One of the big parts of EBT was during the mass immigration into the United States, the EBT tax coupon things that they gave them were in the thousands. | ||
| So people had money in a bank account to go to grocery stores. | ||
| I've read several articles on the amount of EBT that was handed out to people coming over the border. | ||
| I mean, and that's what the big argument is with the Trump administration: basically, that we can't afford illegal alien SNAP programs. | ||
| We can't afford medical for illegal aliens. | ||
| That's really what the big argument is. | ||
| That's what they're really fighting about. | ||
| The real issue for me is that you can't get fresh food across the country. | ||
| And so it becomes corrupt just because it's cost too much. | ||
| It's never going to be fresh. | ||
| So we might as well sell cigarettes and beer and we'll just use the snap coupons for that. | ||
| That's kind of really what's going on. | ||
| And $187 billion of that is crazy. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| No, I completely agree with you. | ||
| It's also, it's interesting because what the left has been doing is they've been going, oh, well, actually, illegal aliens are not getting these benefits. | ||
| It's like, okay, non-citizens absolutely are, though. | ||
| And what happens is because the Biden administration and basically every left-wing administration or political authority for the past several decades has given people temporary protected status whenever they can, thus making them non-illegal, even though they're not citizens. | ||
| It extends welfare benefits to those people. | ||
| They call them, I think, lawful entrants. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| So they enter the country illegally. | ||
| And then when law enforcement, CBP, or I say, you stop right there, they go, asylum. | ||
| And then they're like, oh, they got us. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I guess we can't deport them now. | ||
| They're lawful entrants. | ||
| And I said all this EBT I need to spend. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| They said the magic word. | ||
| Even though there's a eight USC 1325, which states entering the country from anywhere other than an official port of entry is illegal, illegal. | ||
| So the reality is, we've said it, these people, these Democrats, live in an entirely different country. | ||
| The laws of our Congress and Constitution, it doesn't matter to them. | ||
| They are somewhere else. | ||
| Yeah, that's it. | ||
| In LA, we don't have to worry because they haven't funded Prop 36. | ||
| So, if you don't have any food, you can just go into the grocery store and take it. | ||
| So, it's fine. | ||
| Well, that's what $900 worth of theft or something. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That's so crazy. | ||
| 70%, 71% or something like that voted for this law to be passed, and now they won't fund it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| What's the law? | ||
| Prop 36. | ||
| So right now, because of COVID, they were like, you know, people can steal and we're not going to prosecute. | ||
| And it was up to $900. | ||
| Literally, a guy went into a thrifty and took $2,000 worth of stuff because it was 50% off. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| That's so funny. | ||
| It's awful, but it's funny. | ||
| Well, so the joke that we made was you should sell everything for $1,000, everything, and then offer up discounts at the register. | ||
| And someone actually did it. | ||
| That would be, that's a great idea. | ||
| It didn't work. | ||
| You should have made that work. | ||
| No, no, no, no, great idea. | ||
| They tried doing it. | ||
| I can't remember where, but the police were just like, no. | ||
| You just change it from the dollar store to the $1,000 store. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| The issue is, it doesn't matter if this law exists to make $900. | ||
| What matters is if somebody steals even a couple hundred dollars, they shoplift. | ||
| If you work for a CBS and someone comes in and takes $100 worth of stuff and you call the police, they're going to be like, what would you have us do? | ||
| It's going to take us 15, 20 minutes to get there. | ||
| The person's going to be long gone. | ||
| We take a report. | ||
| No one will ever catch the person. | ||
| So they just don't care. | ||
| They don't show up. | ||
| We did. | ||
| So back when this first became law, that you could steal less than $900 worth of stuff in California, we did a cartoon where it was Gavin Newsome and he's like one of those crazy TV salesmen. | ||
| And he's like, this bike, previously $850, now free. | ||
| And he's like rattling off all the stuff. | ||
| This laptop used to cost $700, now free. | ||
| Well, let's pull up this story from the root.com. | ||
| I don't know how you describe the route. | ||
| It is black news and black views with a whole lot of attitude. | ||
| Well, that's how you describe it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's how you describe it. | |
| That's how you describe the route. | ||
| If the snap benefits cutoff results in violence, it wouldn't be the first time. | ||
| It's funny because I believe they changed the headline, which used to read, the TikTok planned to stage a massive theft event at Walmart. | ||
| And they said it was going viral. | ||
| The problem is it's not going viral. | ||
| They're just hoping that it happens. | ||
| So they've got this post from TikTok, which I'll pull up and we'll play for you. | ||
| You guys ready? | ||
| Here you go. | ||
| Listen to this. | ||
| Oh, people, my people. | ||
| I wish we stopped crying about this motherfucking EBC card. | ||
| At the end of the day, they try to see if we're going to stick together. | ||
| And we are going to stick together. | ||
| Fucking November 3rd at 6:30. | ||
| We're going to Walmart. | ||
| We're going to fucking Walmart. | ||
| And at 7:30, we're going to walk out of Walmart with our fucking buddies. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| The thing is, they can catch everybody. | ||
| You feel me? | ||
| All you got to do is run for his run. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| We have to stick the fuck together. | ||
| It don't even matter. | ||
| As long as we're going to have everything we need for Thanksgiving, that's all that fucking matters, bitch. | ||
| Run for his run. | ||
| Remember, put it in your calendar. | ||
| November 3rd. | ||
| She should be arrested. | ||
| Remember that? | ||
| Right now, criminally charged. | ||
| Incitement to riot. | ||
| Whatever else they can get her on. | ||
| But the funny thing is, the TikTok is not viral at all. | ||
| It's got 500 likes. | ||
| And the initial post from The Root claimed that it was going viral. | ||
| I think the intention of the writers of the root, because I think the root was part of like the Gizmodo Network at some point. | ||
| Oh, yeah, The Onion. | ||
| Oh, I'm sorry, that's opinion. | ||
| I thought I'm pretty sure it was a part of The Onion. | ||
| It's like the same format, whatever. | ||
| They wanted this to go viral. | ||
| So hold on to the other side. | ||
| There is now an entire like libs of TikTok styled account called EBT of TikTok, where there are thousands of people threatening to riot, threatening to loot stores and inciting groups of people to do so. | ||
| So it is a viral trend, even if that specific video isn't viral. | ||
| I'm just going to be this is not seen them. | ||
| This is not me blackpilling because there is no blackpilling and there's no blackpilling allowed. | ||
| But when you are at this point as a nation where citizens are willing to just openly say in front of everyone in the public that they intend on stealing things, like it's over. | ||
| All right. | ||
| This is not a healthy thing. | ||
| They're just saying, like, we're going to loot from the paid-for groceries that white people are walking out with. | ||
| Well, oh, yeah, we will just steal it from people, too. | ||
| That's reparations. | ||
| And I just want to say, too, like, when I say that means your society is over, it 100% does. | ||
| Christ has brought people back from the dead, right? | ||
| Like, God can bring our society back, is what I'm trying to say. | ||
| But by natural human means, like, we're done. | ||
| We're completely, we're cooked. | ||
| I just want to fact check. | ||
| I was correct. | ||
| It was part of the Onion. | ||
| So GO Media. | ||
| I believe this was after Gawker, you know, and all those websites that got purchased. | ||
| And it was Gizmodo, Jezebel Deadspin, Lifehacker, Splinter, The Root, Kotaku, Kotaku, and Jalopnik, and the Onion portfolio, the Onion Click OV Club and takeout. | ||
| And then I guess what happened was that whole thing collapsed. | ||
| And now, as of 2025, it's just the root, which once again is black news and black views with a whole lot of attitude. | ||
| A whole lot. | ||
| Apparently, also calling for everyone to mass loot Walmart. | ||
| But I want to stress this. | ||
| As someone who has been to a Walmart, as I'm sure some of you may have at some point, the doors there are not particularly wide, and there's usually two. | ||
| There are two ways in on the left and the right of the building. | ||
| And if this woman's plan were to actually be implemented, these people would fall victim to Three Stooges syndrome, which is when everyone tries jamming through the door at the same time, they get stuck and will all be easily arrested. | ||
| So that's not going to work. | ||
| But she's not the only person who's been calling for this stuff. | ||
| The calls for mass rioting and looting, it's nuts. | ||
| Go arrest them all. | ||
| Just to do it. | ||
| Yeah, don't say that there are no political solutions to this. | ||
| There are certainly political solutions. | ||
| I think there are political solutions. | ||
| There are political solutions that could salvage certain parts of this country for a certain period of time. | ||
| It's just that, listen, I'm going to quote Fulton Sheen again. | ||
| Communism is not the thing that destroys the society. | ||
| It's the rot that sets in when it's already dead. | ||
| Like, I don't think we live in a time where we are desensitized to this, but if our ancestors saw that people were talking this way, if they saw the current state of affairs, they'd be like, oh, yeah, you don't have society. | ||
| You're like living not to be. | ||
| That whole slavery thing. | ||
| I don't know if this was from one of your videos or where I heard this, but what was I watching? | ||
| It said a bunch of, it might have been a Simpsons bit. | ||
| There are a bunch of people in hell who did things a lot worse. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| There's a bunch of people in heaven today that did way worse things than the people who are condemned to hell for today. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right? | |
| Did I say that right? | ||
| I'm not sure. | ||
| Basically, the point is this. | ||
| If you go back 300 years, people went to heaven and were engaged in brutal warfare, abject racism, slavery. | ||
| And today, we are way, way, way, way, way more, I don't know what the right words, a combination of demure, weak, and also magnanimous. | ||
| The idea was like you have the conquistadors all just, they knew they were going to heaven. | ||
| And today, you've got people who are condemned to hell for a fraction, a fraction of just thinking the things that conquistores may have done. | ||
| Well, certainly for texting them. | ||
| I think they should change the name of that thing to the loot. | ||
| The worst thing about that video was not her calls for mass violence. | ||
| It was the ASMR whispering. | ||
| I think ASMR should be illegal. | ||
| You know, I don't understand. | ||
| ASMR, we plan to rob Walmart when EBT goes out. | ||
| If, you know, like, I will, I will, uh, these ASMR videos, you go to fucking Walmart. | ||
| I will, I will, I will punch a hole in the monitor. | ||
| I will punch my phone so hard it will explode into fragments as soon as an Instagram ASMR video pops up. | ||
| ASMR looting. | ||
| I don't know what it is about people that they really want that low, whispery voice and scratching where it relaxes them. | ||
| It brings me to the pinnacle of rage. | ||
| That's one of the reasons. | ||
| I'm going to actually rename shoplifting as like quiet shopping. | ||
| No, no, what was it? | ||
| No, undocumented shopping. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Undocumented shopping. | ||
| It's not illegal. | ||
| It's just not documented. | ||
| It's just purchases they haven't made yet. | ||
| Listen, I think undocumented iPhone owners should have the same path to legal ownership that people who went through the process to get their iPhone have. | ||
| We vote for a Democrat president so they can introduce the deferred action for shopping. | ||
| What's the acronym? | ||
| Deferred action for undocumented purchases. | ||
| So he doesn't have a receipt. | ||
| Like we're not human. | ||
| I'm calling it now like after Halloween, we're going to see the craziest rage bait trick-or-treat looting videos. | ||
| Black Friday. | ||
| It's all happening on the same day. | ||
| We're going to see so many people. | ||
| Stealing from the courthouse where they put the bowl of candy out for them to take one. | ||
| They're just taking the whole bowl. | ||
| It's going to be crazy. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I see a lot of these body cam videos on YouTube and Instagram. | ||
| They pop up from time to time. | ||
| And I'm sure you guys have seen this. | ||
| Have you guys seen the videos where it's like someone tries filling up a shopping cart and walking out with it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Okay. | ||
| Well, I routinely see these videos. | ||
| And it's always like, oh, man, that's crazy. | ||
| I can't believe they would do that. | ||
| And the Walmart employee doesn't know what to do. | ||
| And then the person just walks off. | ||
| Okay, well, I saw one today where the lady was walking the shopping cart out and some other like a store employee got in front of her and said, you can't take this. | ||
| And it was a black woman. | ||
| She pulls what appears to be a Glock. | ||
| I saw that same thing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I saw that once. | |
| And she was trying to rope her children into the criminal act. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| She was telling her children, no, run out, run out to the car, take the other cart. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm like, dude, we are cooked. | |
| That's what I'm saying. | ||
| He's like, there is no society. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| And it's just like the mindset is like, mind your business. | ||
| And that's a ton of the videos that they're just saying. | ||
| Like, if you're an employee or a fellow shopper and you see someone walking out with a whole cart of stolen items, mind your business. | ||
| Well, because think about the repercussions. | ||
| We get told this all the time, and I've never agreed with this, much to my own detriment, I would imagine. | ||
| But when I was, you know, I'm growing up in Chicago. | ||
| It's a dangerous place. | ||
| And you are told, if someone robs you, give everything up. | ||
| And my response was no. | ||
| Like, well, they'll kill you. | ||
| And I'm like, guess I'll die. | ||
| I just, I can't believe you people choose to live this way. | ||
| Because what ends up happening is you have explicitly just told every criminal in this city that the people will give you whatever you want. | ||
| You know, I'm going to bet on. | ||
| I'm going to bet on they don't want to go to prison for the rest of their life. | ||
| Not true for everybody. | ||
| And they'd rather not get in a fight. | ||
| So if someone comes up to me, I'm going to say no. | ||
| And I only had one instance where it happened and the guy threatened me, but I got lucky because the cops were there. | ||
| So I've never actually encountered, well, to be fair, to my own defense, I did tell a guy trying to mug me, no, but I got saved by the cops. | ||
| So who knows? | ||
| Maybe he would have shot me. | ||
| I just don't agree that we should live in a society where we all agree, if someone wants to take from you, let them do it. | ||
| It's actually a life hack. | ||
| You can say no, that's illegal. | ||
| Some of these like career criminals, congenital criminals, they don't think 15 seconds into the future. | ||
| So they do not have a fear of going to jail or getting caught or getting hurt in a fight. | ||
| They don't have that fear. | ||
| It's a coin toss. | ||
| So there was this study they did where they took people who were convicted of multiple violent crimes against people and they made them watch videos of people walking down the street. | ||
| Then they were asked who out of these people, if they were going to rob somebody, who would they rob? | ||
| And sure enough, the people they chose had been robbed before. | ||
| The people they did not were not robbed before. | ||
| And the researchers believe it was the way they carried themselves. | ||
| Either the person was distracted or the person carried themselves with confidence. | ||
| The people who are going to rob you, not always, but they're looking for an easy get. | ||
| None of these guys who are robbing you want. | ||
| I saw there's another viral video you may have seen where there's a handful of these, man. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| I watched one today where they're robbing a convenience store and it's like some fat dude and he's sitting behind the counter with his hands up and they go through the register. | ||
| And when the other guy walks to his buddy, he grabs a gun and just drops him instantly and they run off. | ||
| There's another video from Vegas that went super viral. | ||
| We covered at the time. | ||
| Wait, who dropped who? | ||
| The store, the shopkeeper pulled out a gun and dropped it. | ||
| Dropped him right there. | ||
| There was a viral video out of Vegas where two guys walk into a head shop with like a vape shop or something wearing masks. | ||
| And one guy tries going around the counter. | ||
| And when the clerk runs to him, the other guy jumps over. | ||
| So the clerk's got a knife in his hand and just boom, boom, boom, over and over again. | ||
| And you hear the robber going, stop, stop. | ||
| Oh, I'm dead. | ||
| And then just collapses. | ||
| He didn't die, though. | ||
| But the shopkeeper never got in any trouble. | ||
| They were like, you got masked guys robbing you. | ||
| Oh, in L.A., you'd go straight to jail. | ||
| If you stabbed him. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Oh, in New York, too. | ||
| No, first of all, you said something really interesting. | ||
| This was Vegas. | ||
| You said that you were getting mugged or whatever and the police came. | ||
| See, in LA, that doesn't happen. | ||
| Oh, I got lucky. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, in LA, the deal is that they want you to drive your car and leave the windows open and park it with nothing in it so that no one breaks the glass. | ||
| You guys remember? | ||
| Benny Johnson went to California, and while he was filming, someone tried breaking into his SUV to steal his stuff. | ||
| It's comedy. | ||
| It's insane. | ||
| It's insane. | ||
| They're like, don't wear your jewelry out when you're going on a walk. | ||
| I'm like, and if you call 911, you're like, hello, 911. | ||
| They're like, what's your emergency? | ||
| I'm like, you guys are, where are you? | ||
| We've been calling. | ||
| That's exactly. | ||
| That's exactly. | ||
| That's the same as not having a society, right? | ||
| No one's going to protect you. | ||
| You literally have to fend for yourself. | ||
| But it's worse than that. | ||
| Because you live in California. | ||
| It's anarcho-tyranny. | ||
| You will get in trouble if you do fight. | ||
| You got 8,500 police officers for 4 million people. | ||
| So here's what you got to do. | ||
| Here's what you got to do. | ||
| I mean, if you're in California and you're walking down the streets of like LA or whatever, and some guy comes and robs you, you need to call the police and describe yourself as the robber. | ||
| And then the police will come and they'll be like, that's the burglar. | ||
| How can we help? | ||
| That's the point. | ||
| Where are the socioeconomic factors that made you do this? | ||
| And people believe that stealing is a victimless crime. | ||
| This is the point that we reach. | ||
| And, you know, we learn it from childhood. | ||
| I've been reading about the history of anti-bullying campaigns. | ||
| And one of the policies that so many schools implemented is that it doesn't matter who started the fight. | ||
| You all get in trouble. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| So you're taught not to fight back when you're the victim of bullying. | ||
| That's like a Irish family. | ||
| See, I just, I don't, I don't, I don't live in that world, I guess. | ||
| I mean, maybe I'm lucky and it's like the last chapter of NAM scenario where it's so much worse now than it was when I was younger. | ||
| But I'd get into a fight. | ||
| I just, I don't care. | ||
| I refuse to live in this. | ||
| I've heard all these stories and I've had everybody tell me if someone comes up to you and they're robbing you, just give in. | ||
| And I'm like, I'm not going to do it. | ||
| That study you mentioned, they did the same one with sex offenders. | ||
| They identified women who seem like easy targets. | ||
| They're the ones who are not aware of their surroundings, looking at their phones. | ||
| Their posture is very, it's turned inwards. | ||
| If you're making eye contact and looking around you, they're not going to try to victimize you. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I uh, you know, one other strategy you do, I think I can't remember which, which, which sitcom this is from, but it was a woman, and she said, she dresses like a schizo, and she walks down the street, twitching and screaming and yelling at random things. | ||
| She's like, I've never been bugged once. | ||
| That's what you got to do. | ||
| You got to start barking at them. | ||
| Like, just never shower. | ||
| Well, I mean, I don't know if you want to live that way. | ||
| Well, this goes back to what I was saying earlier, which is that people are shaped by the stories they hear. | ||
| For decades, every single time you saw a criminal on television, they were stealing bread to feed their family, right? | ||
| This is what we have internalized. | ||
| This is a narrative that we've been sold, is that people literally only steal things. | ||
| They only break the law because at some point they were victimized and it's society's fault. | ||
| I love the Fulton Sheen quote. | ||
| He said there was no poverty in the Garden of Eden, right? | ||
| That's actually a very important part of that story. | ||
| People will do bad things even if they have everything. | ||
| And if that wasn't true, then how could we persist with this narrative that rich people are bad and rich people want to victimize others because they have all the materials that they could possibly need? | ||
| That's why you got to help me tell the right stories, twistedplots.com. | ||
| Jeff Bezos should just Venmo everyone a billion dollars and then this wouldn't be don't you guys remember laws? | ||
| Don't you remember when Bloomberg was running and on, I think it was NBC News, that woman, I can't remember her name, she was like, I just saw this. | ||
| Mayor Bloomberg spent $500 million on his campaign and there are 300 million Americans. | ||
| He could give every American a million dollars. | ||
| And I think it was Brian Williams. | ||
| He was like, it's actually pretty crazy. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| And everyone's like, you guys, it's $1.60. | ||
| What's wrong with you? | ||
| They figured out in LA that we've spent $900,000 per homeless person per year. | ||
| Wait, how much? | ||
| $900,000. | ||
| Just give them the $900. | ||
| Per homeless person. | ||
| How is that possible? | ||
| Because they can't find this $28 billion or something. | ||
| It's Blame IA. | ||
| Welcome to L.A. L.A. intentionally keeps all these people homeless. | ||
| It's insane. | ||
| It's insane. | ||
| It's called the Homeless Industrial Complex. | ||
| It's not a joke. | ||
| I know all of them. | ||
| No, no, yeah, it's real. | ||
| They get government funding from it. | ||
| They lie to people. | ||
| They don't want to solve the problem. | ||
| And that's what happens when you get Democrats supermajority in your city, in your state, in your county, or whatever. | ||
| So California's cooked. | ||
| I don't know how much better off we're going to be because I don't know that Trump can actually do anything. | ||
| Let's jump to this story. | ||
| We've got this from the post-millennial. | ||
| Former Coast Guard lieutenant, self-identified antiva member found not guilty of soliciting an assassination of Trump. | ||
| Now, the issue, you may be asking yourself, what did he do? | ||
| They say an affidavit accused Stinson of calling for the assassination of Trump repeatedly since 2020. | ||
| One post saying the orange man must go at any cost. | ||
| Another said, you see Trump drowning, what are you doing? | ||
| He said that he would feel like he would hit him in the head with an oar. | ||
| He says he wants to stay. | ||
| I want same with him. | ||
| In response to another user's post same month, he wrote, somebody ought to do more than sue the orange MF's SS, and it involves a rifle and a scope, but I can't talk about it here. | ||
| I'd be willing to pitch in $100 for a contract. | ||
| We could solve the solvable part of this problem in a crack. | ||
| I'll drive. | ||
| I'm willing to drive. | ||
| He needs, okay, he kept saying it over and over again. | ||
| So it's a clear crime. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's not pretty clear, man. | |
| Yes, but the problem is we live in, we are in a civil war. | ||
| I mean, again, I said that in the figurative sense. | ||
| We are clearly in a period of civil strife with factions. | ||
| And when they brought this case, it took him two hours to acquit the guy for calling for the murder of Donald Trump. | ||
| Have fun with where we're going next. | ||
| Because Jennifer, what's her name? | ||
| Jennifer Welch from I've Had It Podcast is getting tons of attention right now because she said if Democrats don't get on board with them murdering or wanting to murder conservatives, the Democrats will get the same treatment. | ||
| Implying they will kill the Democrats unless Democrats get on board with killing conservatives. | ||
| That's where we're at. | ||
| She's not been banned. | ||
| She's allowed to keep doing her podcast, and she's wealthy because of it. | ||
| So if we can't criminally prosecute a guy who said stuff like this, then I guess, guys, order your 25-year beans now. | ||
| Well, take it further. | ||
| You know, Jay, was it Jay Jones that wrote the office? | ||
| And his people want to murder Republicans and babies and their kids. | ||
| If this guy wins. | ||
| Well, the whole party wants to murder babies, right? | ||
| But like him in particular, he wanted to kill kids. | ||
| And he's running for office. | ||
| Yeah, and he only lost like three points when that got exposed. | ||
| Now, Miara's, I'm probably pronouncing that wrong. | ||
| He's expected to win in the prediction markets. | ||
| We don't know for sure. | ||
| But we're five minutes from Virginia. | ||
| It's technically the tri-state, but Pennsylvania is a half an hour drive, so you can get anywhere pretty quickly. | ||
| You drive down any one of these roads into Virginia, and you will see signs for Jay Jones on all the houses. | ||
| They don't care. | ||
| And I want to make sure this is clear with a story like this. | ||
| My wife was asking me about the Trump 34 felony conviction because we did this debate last Friday with Brian Shapiro and it's gone massively viral. | ||
| I had no idea it would, but I'm getting hit up by tons of people being like, oh, you roasted that guy. | ||
| I'm like, oh, whatever. | ||
| I'm sure he's got clips of me and the leftist sharing those as well. | ||
| So my wife asks me, well, what's Trump accused of doing? | ||
| And I said, falsification of business records in furtherance of a crime. | ||
| And she said, did Trump commit any crime? | ||
| No, he did not. | ||
| Because the accusation in that case is that Michael Cohen, Trump's lawyer, believed a insinuation from Trump's CFO was the order to pay Stormy Daniels. | ||
| Did Trump ever tell you to do it? | ||
| No, he did not. | ||
| Did Trump ever tell you to conceal anything? | ||
| No, he didn't. | ||
| But I knew he wanted to. | ||
| Trump's guilty. | ||
| That's what they did. | ||
| On top of that, it's the first time in history, and we clarified this yesterday. | ||
| Fact check. | ||
| I was mistaken. | ||
| It is not the first time they've used that law, 175, what is it, 1750? | ||
| I think it is, 1750.10. | ||
| I thought it was the first time they ever used it without an underlying charge that is incorrect. | ||
| It's the first time they've ever done it without a clearly spelled out crime in the indictment. | ||
| Meaning, in every instance, New York has charged someone with falsification of business records in furtherance of a crime. | ||
| They required unanimity among the jurors as to the crime intended to be committed spelled out in the indictment, meaning proven beyond a reasonable doubt with Trump. | ||
| They said, I get later. | ||
| Yeah, pick it later and you figure it out, which has never been done before. | ||
| That's exactly what they did. | ||
| So she asked me, has Trump, she said, okay, hold on. | ||
| I understand that, but what did Trump do? | ||
| Like, he didn't do anything, even according to the charge. | ||
| And then she asked, then how did he get convicted? | ||
| Because New York is D plus 30. | ||
| That means any jury will convict any Trump supporter or conservative. | ||
| We saw this with Jay Sixers when judges wouldn't let them bring in video evidence that was exculpatory. | ||
| The judge was like, no, that comes. | ||
| I'm like, but this proves I'm innocent. | ||
| And the judge is like, don't care. | ||
| That's not a jury of your peers. | ||
| It's certainly not. | ||
| And now that we have two different countries occupying the same territory, this man who clearly called for the murder of Trump, they let him go. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| In Virginia, unsurprising. | ||
| Well, and so I know you were talking about Jay Jones and how he isn't expected to win the race anymore, but the fact that that's even a question at all. | ||
| The fact that he's running. | ||
| Yeah, the fact that he's still running, that his party didn't go, you know what? | ||
| Let's find someone who isn't talking about killing children in there. | ||
| It's anybody. | ||
| It's like probably an indication that either they know the voters don't care or they can't find anyone. | ||
| Like they can't find anyone who doesn't want children dead. | ||
| So this is actually pretty amazing. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| So Kaul Shi has the prediction market. | ||
| Will Jay Jones drop out of the Virginia Attorney General race? | ||
| No, he won't. | ||
| At this point, it's a 1%. | ||
| And if we actually look at the Attorney General race, he's still got a 33% chance in the prediction market. | ||
| That is insane to me that a man could say that his rival's children should be murdered. | ||
| And if he had the choice, he would shoot his Republican rival twice in the head. | ||
| That's what he said in these texts. | ||
| And they're like, you know, it's two to one that he loses. | ||
| So 33? | ||
| But I will say this. | ||
| And didn't he call too? | ||
| Didn't he make a phone call too? | ||
| But we don't know what was in the phone call. | ||
| We just know that there were texts after the fact. | ||
| So I do need to say this. | ||
| I'm legally required to say shout out to Kaul Shi for sponsoring the show. | ||
| And I really do appreciate it. | ||
| I also would like to point out just before we jump in, Seamus, should Jay Jones win, the point I was making about Trump and his convictions and this guy being let go, I don't know that I can drive through Virginia. | ||
| I'll get pulled over by some commie cop and he's going to be like, you got improper turn signals there, buddy. | ||
| And then I'll be like, I don't know what you're talking about because I did it right. | ||
| He's like, well, let's take a, whoa, I smell drugs out of the vehicle. | ||
| Then he's going to say, look what I found. | ||
| And no, and it's going to be every jury in Virginia that they're going to put together is going to be like, he's a Trump supporter. | ||
| Lock him up. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| If Jay Jones wins, it's bad enough. | ||
| In Virginia, they acquitted a guy who literally was calling for the assassination of Trump and saying he wanted to do it. | ||
| And they let him go. | ||
| If this AG gets in, yeah, we're headed down a very, very obvious and dark path. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I mean, I totally agree. | ||
| I think that, again, like I said, the fact that they didn't replace him. | ||
| They didn't pull him out of the race. | ||
| He didn't step down. | ||
| This wasn't that much of a scandal for them. | ||
| And then they tried to like wave a group chat in our face a couple days later as if that was equally bad and would distract us from this. | ||
| It was so transparent. | ||
| It was so obvious. | ||
| And it was so indicative of the major flaw with the Democratic Party, which is that, and I mean this truly, sincerely, it's not hyperbole. | ||
| They literally hate innocent life. | ||
| This is why abortion is the cornerstone of their entire platform. | ||
| They hate innocence in general. | ||
| That's why they always want to push grooming. | ||
| They want these drag queens to be reading in front of children. | ||
| They always push as much degeneracy as they possibly can because they hate being reminded that there's more to the world than their own hideousness. | ||
| And so when someone like Jay Jones says, I hope their children die, he really means that. | ||
| He really means that. | ||
| And I got to say this too. | ||
| We've all gotten angry over politics, right? | ||
| But I have never at any point been so angry about politics that I wanted someone else's kid to die because that doesn't come from a place of anger. | ||
| It comes from a place of sickness. | ||
| Agreed. | ||
| Wanting someone else's child to be murdered doesn't solve any of your problems. | ||
| So why would anyone want that to happen? | ||
| If I had a problem with Seamus, like let's say, for instance, he stole a very rare spoon of mine that once belonged to a grandmother, and I was mad at him and he denied it. | ||
| And I said, I'm so mad at you, Seamus. | ||
| You have wronged me. | ||
| Why would I hope for his children? | ||
| It's not going to bring my spoon back. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yep. | ||
| You know, nothing apparently will bring my spoon back. | ||
| Because there's something about tribalness. | ||
| It's a form of tribalness to carry it from generation to generation, which is a big problem that we are suffering here in our country. | ||
| Well, Seamus, since you brought up the YR's group chat scandal that broke and got way more attention for whatever reason, it also points out a fatal flaw in the Republican Party because they caved immediately and all these guys got fired and condemned publicly. | ||
| Were they all fired? | ||
| This is why I don't like Republicans. | ||
| I think that pretty much all of those men got fired. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| I'm going to make a new party and it's going to be called the Shmeep Republicans. | ||
| No, I was going to say the bad boys and what is it, the bad dude? | ||
| Dude who runs a bunch of bad boys. | ||
| That's what I was going to say. | ||
| The bad dude who runs a bunch of bad boys. | ||
| And you know that I don't know if it was ever proven that Gavin Wax was the one responsible for leaking it, but he didn't face any consequences. | ||
| Well, we don't know who did what, but all I know is they're all a bunch of whiny babies, and the Republican Party is just so weak. | ||
| Cooked. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| You know, I've said it before. | ||
| I'll say it again. | ||
| The one thing I truly respect the Democrats for is how unscrupulous they are in the face of like, you know, it's amazing because I look at some of these podcasts. | ||
| That woman, Jennifer Welch, whatever her name is, where she's like, get on board with killing conservatives. | ||
| And I'm like, man, she's just, she's chiseled and just beaten herself so mercilessly that all that is left of her heart is a withered husk of scar tissue. | ||
| It takes a lot of work to get there. | ||
| I am impressed with how people like Adam Schiff can just like crazy eye you at the camera and lie and they feel nothing. | ||
| That takes a tremendous, tremendous guts to be as evil as they are. | ||
| We don't need to be evil to win. | ||
| We just need to take our own side. | ||
| Yeah, no, it's true. | ||
| We don't have to be like them. | ||
| Just enforce the laws we already have. | ||
| Enforce the law. | ||
| Take your own side. | ||
| Don't cancel it. | ||
| Well, look, we tried. | ||
| He got let go. | ||
| So that's my point. | ||
| The conversation we had with Arn McIntyre last week is the sovereign who makes the exemptions. | ||
| And is the case over or are they going to take it up? | ||
| No, it's it. | ||
| He's acquitted. | ||
| They won't get it. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| You can't double jeopardy. | ||
| You can't bring it back. | ||
| I didn't know if it was going to go to a higher court or. | ||
| You can't. | ||
| I believe that would be double jeopardy. | ||
| He's been found not guilty. | ||
| They can't bring it back. | ||
| So, you know, I hope you guys have prepared for the worst while you hope for the best because I've been saying that these people should get arrested. | ||
| And silly me. | ||
| They did arrest a guy. | ||
| They did charge him. | ||
| And a jury let him go. | ||
| So I'll say it again. | ||
| And shout out to Will Chamberlain because this is his argument. | ||
| A society that tolerates the veneration of assassins and celebrates assassinations is a society that has opened the door to civil war. | ||
| And that's why he was saying these people should be banned from social media. | ||
| And I said, you know what? | ||
| I didn't agree at first. | ||
| Now I completely agree. | ||
| The people that are online celebrating assassinations and calling for more should be insta-banned. | ||
| They're not going to be. | ||
| More than banned. | ||
| So I can tell you this. | ||
| I really do feel like the prediction of what's to come is obvious. | ||
| And I hope I'm completely wrong. | ||
| Unfortunately for me, I kind of remember all the shows I've done over the past several years where I've warned the escalation was coming and it did. | ||
| And so I can only assume at this point, I'm probably right. | ||
| So I'll be digging a hole starting tomorrow. | ||
| You know, Seamus, if you want to help out. | ||
| Yeah, why not? | ||
| Guys love digging holes, but we're going to dig it real deep. | ||
| And we're going to build a 30-foot deep underground bunker. | ||
| You can't tell about this. | ||
| They can't know. | ||
| They don't know where it is. | ||
| How are they going to find it? | ||
| Stop talking about it. | ||
| You got to like, find a good spot. | ||
| We're going to build it. | ||
| Just whisper. | ||
| We're going to build it in Harper's Ferry. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay, perfect. | |
| Just right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Are we able to dig there? | |
| We have to call if there's cable lines or something. | ||
| I don't want to cut through anything. | ||
| No, we need the cable lines. | ||
| You got to get a dig on. | ||
| Are we going to play PlayStation? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm saying I want to cut them when we dig on accident. | |
| Nah, you just damage them. | ||
| You just, what you do is you cut your finger open and you put a small neodymium magnet in it and stitch it up. | ||
| And that allows you to feel where the electrical lines are. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, that's right. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Old wives trick old wives tales. | ||
| This is actually true. | ||
| I'm not making this up. | ||
| Why can't we see this as the beginning of trying to use the law to incarcerate and punish people who do say things online? | ||
| Maybe this is the beginning of it. | ||
| I know it didn't work. | ||
| I don't think it matters because you free speech, though. | ||
| I mean, where do you start, right? | ||
| You want to start somewhere. | ||
| Well, I think explicitly. | ||
| The issue is several years ago, I was involved in a copyright issue around music, and I called, I was speaking with two different lawyers, and they basically said, okay, you probably have a case. | ||
| Venue is important. | ||
| If you try this case or file this case in a Democrat jurisdiction, you'll lose in two seconds. | ||
| And I said, what does this have to do? | ||
| Well, you're a Trump supporter. | ||
| You will bring it before a judge. | ||
| They're going to say, Trump's supporter, throw it out. | ||
| Side with the corporation in two seconds. | ||
| So they said we should file this in a heavy Trump district where they're going to side with you for being a Trump supporter. | ||
| And I was like, but this is about music. | ||
| And they were like, and this is not the way the courts work right now. | ||
| And venue selection has become one of the most important things. | ||
| This guy was found not guilty because he's charged in Virginia, tried by a jury of his peers who thought that what he did was just. | ||
| So when you have Democrats in New York say, it doesn't matter if you can prove Trump did something wrong. | ||
| Trump is so evil he must be stopped. | ||
| This is heading in one direction. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| So I'll stress this too. | ||
| For all these conservatives that think there's a big conspiracy in the elections with cheating, the one thing they really need to consider is that you do not need a conspiracy for a cult. | ||
| This is called a standalone complex. | ||
| One of the theories about 2020 was that all of these Democrats working in polling locations or doing signature verification did not need to be told what to do. | ||
| They hated Trump so much that they would be like, a Trump vote? | ||
| I can't read that signature garbage. | ||
| A Biden vote? | ||
| Close enough. | ||
| Throw it in. | ||
| If you do that 10,000 times across the country, Trump can't win. | ||
| So for all the, I'm not saying that's what happened. | ||
| I'm saying you can't control for these things. | ||
| If we do start going after people for this, let's take a look at Kat Abu Gazela. | ||
| She's literally on video putting her hands. | ||
| It appears, well, she's blocking the police vehicle. | ||
| I don't know if her hands are literally in it, but her body's up against it. | ||
| And that's what she's charged with obstruction. | ||
| If they bring in an Illinois jury, she will be acquitted. | ||
| And then the jury will offer her government money. | ||
| They're going to be like, what more can we do for you, criminal? | ||
| Because we don't care. | ||
| You're opposed to Trump. | ||
| Nothing you do is illegal. | ||
| I don't disagree with you. | ||
| What I'm saying is that you have to start somewhere because just banning people arbitrarily off the internet could also get really wily. | ||
| Arbitrarily. | ||
| Yeah, well, I mean, it would be arbitrary because there's not a court case, right? | ||
| you're just saying, I don't like that. | ||
| And you're, and if the law, but banning is not a criminal action. | ||
| So you don't need a court case to ban someone. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| So then it would be arbitrary because there wouldn't be a hearing. | ||
| That's not arbitrary. | ||
| Well, sure, it would be if it's just left up to who is it left up to? | ||
| The company that runs X or YouTube. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So they have, they agree with you in that. | ||
| I wouldn't say those things. | ||
| Glorification of murder is a bannable offense on YouTube, and YouTube's not banning this woman who said she killed her. | ||
| She shouldn't be banned, and it should be banned. | ||
| So she should get banned for it. | ||
| But people write things, and they are not banned, and they're not, and nothing happened. | ||
| And they should be. | ||
| jay jones so my point is is well he texted someone his personal opinion that That's allowed, but he should not be in a political race. | ||
| In any case, though, they went to court. | ||
| No, they lost, and I get it, but they did go to court. | ||
| And I think it's really important to say that they went to court. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They lost. | |
| And they lost. | ||
| This is a crime. | ||
| It is a crime. | ||
| And they lost because of the judges. | ||
| I agree with you. | ||
| As long as we are the jury and the judge. | ||
| It was a jury trial. | ||
| It was a jury trial, and they deliberated for two hours and then acquitted him. | ||
| Well, in Virginia, they probably would have lost with the judge, too. | ||
| I mean, the judges are also bad. | ||
| The point is, though, that they did prosecute him. | ||
| And I think it's really important that they do prosecute crimes when they happen, regardless of what the outcome might be. | ||
| We can't stop prosecuting because there's no way to win. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| That's my point. | ||
| We should go after more people. | ||
| My point is that we're going to see more acquittals. | ||
| And we're actually, I wouldn't be surprised if overt acts of terror end up getting acquitted. | ||
| That you'll get some antifa guy. | ||
| I mean, look at Portland arresting conservatives. | ||
| The only reason Portland actually shut down the Antifa protests was because Trump won in the Ninth Circuit and was going to send in the National Guard. | ||
| And they don't want the National Guard to come in because then that gives Trump more control and authority in any capacity in the city. | ||
| So they said, take out Antifa and then we can argue to the courts. | ||
| He can't send the National Guard in now because there's no longer a criminal presence. | ||
| A lot of people really liked the National Guard when it was in L.A., by the way. | ||
| I wouldn't be surprised. | ||
| I think the issue was really helpful. | ||
| What were people, yeah, I'm curious what people on the ground were actually saying because obviously all the press was going to show us is that everyone thought it was fascism and Trump is bad because he's orange and white. | ||
| Well, what had happened after the fires burned is the National Guard came with FEMA. | ||
| And so we had a lot of National Guard right after the fires. | ||
| And they were parked everywhere and they protected everything and they were very nice to people. | ||
| And because it was the fires, everybody loved having them there. | ||
| And then when they left, there was so much looting and so many problems that everybody that was, you know, experienced having them there was like, can we get them back? | ||
| So when the National Guard came for the rioting, it was like, bring them. | ||
| Because it's there's obviously, you know, the people downtown that, you know, were looting and rioting didn't want them there. | ||
| But I can tell you right now, most people in Los Angeles were really, really relieved they were there. | ||
| I just don't understand how people living in L.A. have not been radicalized by their experiences and still vote for this. | ||
| That's a really good question. | ||
| I'm starting, I'm working on a documentary. | ||
| It's called Mayors Matter. | ||
| And I'm visiting all 52 mayors in the state that have a fairly decent mayoral position. | ||
| And so far I've interviewed several. | ||
| And the majority of the mayors that I've interviewed, surprisingly, both Democrat and Republican, number one priority on their list is safety in their streets, police and safety. | ||
| So things are quite different when you really break it down and you talk to mayors of smaller cities. | ||
| They also don't want to house homeless people. | ||
| They're like, look, we shouldn't have this problem. | ||
| And they shouldn't be dropping them off in our city. | ||
| And we can only have so many beds and those beds are transitional. | ||
| They can't be just living here. | ||
| We're not just going to create housing for them. | ||
| So it's very interesting how things really are when you start talking to the mayors of the cities. | ||
| The homeless don't even want housing. | ||
| That's not the dumbest thing that people say about homelessness is that they're in need of or desire housing. | ||
| Well, also, you know, we have anti-camping rules that they kind of lifted during COVID because of the desperation to find places for people outside. | ||
| But once you put the anti-camping rules back in place, people can't loiter anymore. | ||
| So they move to places that they can, like a campsite, and then it's every three days they got to move or something like that. | ||
| Point being, there's a way around it that you can do it legally. | ||
| And if you talk to the mayors from all the cities, they don't have the same feeling that you see on the news where they just don't want anybody there. | ||
| They don't want chaos. | ||
| They don't want, none of us want it. | ||
| I don't want it. | ||
| And I live in the Palisades, you know. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, that should, in theory, transcend politics if politics were just a matter of human affairs. | ||
| But I think it is very sad that we're at the point where I think, you know, in the past, people maybe had loftier ambitions for government about the problems it could solve. | ||
| And now we're like, please just like, can I just leave my bike somewhere locked and come back and it's still there, right? | ||
| Can I please not have my window smashed in? | ||
| Can I please not have stuff broken? | ||
| Can I not have my store broken into enough stuff stolen? | ||
| Like rule of law has been completely disrespected and disregarded. | ||
| And it's become a topic of political debate. | ||
| Even though, as you said, all the mayors will actually say when it comes down to it, like, yes, this is the most important thing to me. | ||
| We have to make sure we have this. | ||
| When it comes to their political rhetoric, it unfortunately isn't the case. | ||
| I mean, I think that select, there might be some like that. | ||
| But I think the majority of mayors, both Democrat and Republican, want safe communities for the kids. | ||
| And they'll do anything to get it. | ||
| They'll work really hard at it. | ||
| I mean, look, there's, there's, there's, we spend just on the executive branch of government $40 billion a year on 275,000 people working for the state. | ||
| Just think about that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, we've only got 17 and a half million people paying taxes. | ||
| Like, and that doesn't include all the people in all those cities. | ||
| That's another 250,000 people. | ||
| So, you know, you have half a million people working in a state with 17 and a half people, 17 and a half million people paying taxes. | ||
| I mean, it's just, it's just not sustainable. | ||
| So, if you sit and talk to people and you really, you know, say, look, what's really important to you, without all the rhetoric, without all of the, you know, Trump, this, and, and, Gavin, and their big fight, because he's, because Gavin Newsom has ruined any chance of a relationship with the Trump administration. | ||
| He's completely turned on. | ||
| There's zero. | ||
| So, California is not in the conversation. | ||
| And the people that are good in California that really want to see, you know, things better in California, like me, you know, coming out and talking to EPA and saying, hey, will you help us clean up California? | ||
| Because the EPA can step over, you know, any California legislation. | ||
| They can step right in. | ||
| So for me, I'm just going to do my best to circumvent the Newsome administration and ask for help because we need it. | ||
| I want to pull up a video for Mary because you asked why people would keep voting for this kind of stuff. | ||
| This is from Zach Sage last month, and it's an amazing video, which basically explains why these people keep voting the way they do. | ||
| Let's roll tape. | ||
| Can I get your signature for support? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| Okay, wait, I'm required by law. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I just have to read you like three of these policies. | |
| You're cool to elect a mayor who won't condemn Sharia law. | ||
| I'm asking you. | ||
| I'm running. | ||
| I don't know if I got to get support. | ||
| Okay, cool. | ||
| I don't know about that. | ||
| No, you don't? | ||
| Well, what is this? | ||
| It's just like a lot of his policy positions and stuff. | ||
| You have to recognize the DSA's Bill of Rights socialism, so he'd replace the Bill of Rights with. | ||
| You can read all this. | ||
| This is out there. | ||
| You still want to do it or no? | ||
| Oh, he's going to tax white people higher? | ||
| It's on his website first. | ||
| I still think that this is exactly his policies. | ||
| You can look all of it up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, this is literally the first thing on his website on taxing whiter neighborhoods. | |
| This is true. | ||
| No, it literally tells us. | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It does. | |
| I don't know what's going on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wait, so you voted for your primary behind the city. | |
| It's a colour. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| These people should not be allowed to vote. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| I just. | ||
| No, it doesn't literally say whiter neighborhoods. | ||
| This is why they keep voting for it because they are cognitively impaired and arrogant. | ||
| We need to stop teaching people that they're beautiful little snowflakes that are the main characters of their own story. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What do I mean? | |
| And we should tell, especially Seamus. | ||
| And we should stop telling people that they need to be in charge of everything. | ||
| It is okay to not be the boss. | ||
| You can be like, hey, man, look, I understand. | ||
| I'm not an expert on this policy stuff. | ||
| So I defer to you. | ||
| People like this, this is what you get in these urban environments where they're like, no, you must be wrong. | ||
| Well, it's women. | ||
| I mean, if you're saying repeal the 19th? | ||
| If we're being honest, look, we're never going to repeal the 19th. | ||
| I mean, I hope that this ages poorly, but we're never going to repeal the 19th. | ||
| It's not worth talking about. | ||
| I don't think. | ||
| It's women who are voting for this stuff. | ||
| Yes, but the issue I see is that you've got greater male variability hypothesis. | ||
| And so it's how did, let me put it like this: how is it possible for women to vote for these things? | ||
| Well, they're not responsible for the outcome. | ||
| No, but how is it possible for them to literally walk into a polling station and vote for it? | ||
| A men protecting them. | ||
| What do you mean? | ||
| I mean, of course, they're able to vote because men protect their rights. | ||
| Because men decided women should vote. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So it's like humans. | ||
| It's just what humans do. | ||
| At some point, guys were like, women vote. | ||
| And now women are voting. | ||
| And you're like, women shouldn't vote, but it's guys who let them do it. | ||
| So it's a circular problem. | ||
| Like, there are stupid men and there are stupid women. | ||
| And the issue, largely, I think, is, let me ask you, let me ask everybody watching at home this question. | ||
| Did you know that not a single woman has ever won the Chess Open World Championship? | ||
| So the question is. | ||
| Why is there an open division and a women's division? | ||
| Women aren't as good at chess. | ||
| I think the answer is very simply because there can only be one world champion, but then there is greater male variability hypothesis, meaning there's going to be way more stupid guys, but way more smart guys. | ||
| And if you've got one slot and 900 men and 20 women, it's going to be a guy. | ||
| Yeah, Seamus, you mentioned, I think on PCC, this idea that women are cooks and men are chefs. | ||
| No, I didn't. | ||
| You mentioned that. | ||
| So it was something that came up in our conversation about the momentum. | ||
| I was thinking about like men become obsessive about the thing they're interested in. | ||
| When it comes to literally any field, any skill, any hobby, the people who are psychotically good at something are men. | ||
| Because they obsess. | ||
| It's true. | ||
| Men will obsess over a thing. | ||
| Even this recent Twitch con, this like Twitch event, they did a bunch of video game tournaments and I guess there was a women's division and a dude who thinks he's a woman won. | ||
| Oh no. | ||
| And it's because, well, first of all, it's because women accept this shit. | ||
| I mean, they just put a bunch of trans-identifying males on the cover of Glamour for Women of the Year. | ||
| No, what? | ||
| Because women accept this shit. | ||
| But secondly, it's because men are going to exceed the abilities of women at things like things like chess. | ||
| Well, Rachel Zegler was one of the winners, but in the UK, it was the Glamour UK cover. | ||
| Jake Rowling actually posted about it. | ||
| I was surprised. | ||
| He said, like, when I was younger, women's magazines told us to be prettier and thinner, and now they're telling us that men are better women than we are. | ||
| And it's true. | ||
| And this happens because women are on the editorial teams that make these decisions, and women are the ones buying it off the shelves. | ||
| Are you saying women should also not be in the workforce? | ||
| Well, this weird thing will also happen with these publications where in the same way that the people who've controlled our media have told us bad stories to reshape our minds, they've tried to groom women through putting things in women's literature that like historically women haven't sought out. | ||
| This is the history of Cosmopolitan. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| They'll put things in it to get women to behave in ways that are not like historically typical. | ||
| In Cosmo, they published guest essays under pen names that were completely fictional about casual hookups in order to glamorize the lifestyle of the Cosmo girl, but it was completely made up. | ||
| And you're absolutely right. | ||
| Like women's minds have been hijacked by this stuff. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And so I know people say like, oh, women are buying these magazines. | ||
| It's like, yes, but what you got to remember is just because there's a demand for something doesn't mean the demand is going to be filled. | ||
| And this comes along, this is the case for men's entertainment and women's entertainment where like what is being sold is not necessarily what's demanded. | ||
| It's the demand that the establishment's willing to fulfill. | ||
| It's the demand that the people who are creating it are willing to fulfill and those people have an agenda. | ||
| Democracy is a mistake. | ||
| That's what I was saying. | ||
| I'm on board with that. | ||
| Founding Fathers didn't like democracy either. | ||
| They like to do that. | ||
| We don't have one. | ||
| They wanted to review. | ||
| Universal suffrage was not part of the authorship of the Founding Fathers. | ||
| Yeah, seriously. | ||
| So I think we need a system of governance. | ||
| How do we have like a meritocratic political system? | ||
| The challenge is this. | ||
| You want the best at the job to do the job, but politics is the one place where it's not possible. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You can have somebody like, okay, whoever can run faster and climb higher is going to be the firefighter, I guess. | ||
| You're strong enough to do it. | ||
| You can have jobs like race car driver. | ||
| It's like, well, certainly you're winning and you're not. | ||
| Or like cartoonists. | ||
| I know. | ||
| Go to twistedplots.com. | ||
| Support it. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So, but how do you do that for politics? | ||
| How do you figure out if someone actually is good at running systems? | ||
| And here's the other problem. | ||
| Let's say they are, and they go, we have to cut snap benefits for 37 million people, but they'll revolt. | ||
| But we have to. | ||
| I mean, I'm telling you, I'm the expert. | ||
| We have to do it. | ||
| They're going to be like, okay, they'll chop your head off. | ||
| Well, this is exactly why I say almost every night that I'm on the show that we need to hold to the principle of subsidiarity and keep things operating at the most local possible level. | ||
| Because when things are federalized, when things are federalized, subsidiarity and monarchy aren't the same thing, but you can have a monarchist system that follows subsidiarity. | ||
| The point, though, is that things that have to be handled at the most local possible level should be handled at the most local possible level. | ||
| And when you don't do that, you end up with a bloated federal government. | ||
| And as you mentioned, Tim, it's hard to find people who are competent enough to do these jobs. | ||
| If someone is competent enough to do all of the things that someone in a role in the federal government should theoretically be able to do, like they're not going to work for the federal government. | ||
| They're going to make a lot of money in the private sector. | ||
| When things are done at the local level, A, less bandwidth is required from the person in the position. | ||
| And B, you know, hyper-competent people are more willing to give back to their community and the people around them. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right, right, right. | |
| I agree, but you are at the federal level. | ||
| But you can't also run this government without federal level politicians. | ||
| And it's always going to devolve the way it is. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| So look, I mentioned this. | ||
| I was talking to, I did an interview with Senator Randpole, and I said to him that there's not going to be any member of Congress, maybe just he and Thomas Massey, who will campaign on, I will cut your benefits. | ||
| No one will do it. | ||
| Republicans say, we'll keep your benefits the way they are. | ||
| We won't touch them. | ||
| And Democrats say, we'll double them. | ||
| And that's the only direction you can move. | ||
| Otherwise, no one will vote for you. | ||
| And that's what's going to happen until the system explodes. | ||
| And because this woman is as dumb as a box of rocks, and I feel bad saying that because I'm not trying to insult rocks. | ||
| Wait a sec. | ||
| Okay, wait a sec. | ||
| You're going to sell a lot of stuff or both. | ||
| Possibly. | ||
| A lot of stuff, being a woman voter. | ||
| A lot of women vote and they vote correctly. | ||
| They just don't tell their husbands because I know I have a lot of friends. | ||
| But also, I want to talk to you about running up and running down. | ||
| What happens in California and a lot of other places, especially big city and big, big Democratic, is you run up the ticket or down the ticket, depending on what the DNC wants you to do or the RNC wants you to do, or in our case, Act Blue. | ||
| If you run on a ticket, you can pick the ticket. | ||
| And that's probably what's going to happen in California for the governor's race. | ||
| And it's also a jungle primary. | ||
| So this governor's race could change very drastically in the coming months. | ||
| Most importantly is you're absolutely right about keeping it tribal in the cities. | ||
| There's a reason for that. | ||
| But the biggest problem that we have in California, which how goes California goes the rest of the country? | ||
| The biggest problem that we have in California is we have no economic development. | ||
| We do not grow our business at all. | ||
| We have run every six million people have left. | ||
| Every single one of them pays taxes. | ||
| Nobody stayed there that doesn't pay taxes. | ||
| Without economic development, the only option for a state is to raise taxes. | ||
| You can't cut benefits because you've got to get rid of the people that need those benefits. | ||
| It's a different problem altogether. | ||
| You've got to have economic development. | ||
| And if we don't have it, which we haven't had in California for three decades, one of the most interesting things about Mayor's Matter is that I have asked if the lieutenant governor of our state has visited any of the mayors that I've interviewed so far. | ||
| And the answer is no. | ||
| All of them, no. 14 didn't know who she was. | ||
| So at the end of the day, if you don't have economic development in your state, you cannot grow your base. | ||
| You can only survive by charging higher taxes. | ||
| And that's what's happening in California. | ||
| You have to keep it local. | ||
| And then you've got to stop the Sacramento, in our case, from reaching down to small communities like Cerritos or wherever and saying, hey, we need you to put more housing in. | ||
| In California, every bill is named in a way that makes it enticing to people that want something for nothing. | ||
| Like the mansion tax. | ||
| Mansion tax isn't mansion tax. | ||
| It's transfer tax. | ||
| It's a levy. | ||
| It's an illegal levy on all classes of real estate. | ||
| It killed the real estate market a trillion dollars in Los Angeles. | ||
| And we are all suffering from that. | ||
| And Gavin Newsom is leaving, and he's going to leave our state $500 billion, half a trillion dollars in the hole. | ||
| Well, and this is the crazy thing. | ||
| If one particular individual has a billion dollars or their net worth is a billion, people on the left go, no one should have that much money. | ||
| But then when you have these stupid policies that literally just erase a billion dollars from the economy, oh, that's no big deal. | ||
| Who cares? | ||
| It's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. | ||
| Where's all of our concern about all of the things that could have been done for vulnerable people with that billion dollars? | ||
| That just vanished once the government wasted it instead of one guy having it. | ||
| But I want to ask you something because you mentioned that you worked in real estate development. | ||
| And my intuition, based on everything I've understood from the news cycles and what I know about California, is that that's an absolute nightmare out there. | ||
| How do you navigate that? | ||
| And what do you think could be done to fix that? | ||
| Well, when I saw what happened in Hawaii, I thought I'd never seen anything like it. | ||
| And it's exactly what's happening to us. | ||
| It's a land grab. | ||
| Everybody that's in real estate in a big way, including, you know, developers, I don't even want to name names, are buying up distressed, burnt real estate because it's 11 months into it, a couple days. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And we wouldn't mind if you named some names. | |
| We can't stop you. | ||
| You're going to hear about them really soon. | ||
| They've passed this thing called SB 79, which is a high density bill. | ||
| And a high density bill is the equivalent of, you know, I don't, you know, if I built a seven-story building right next to your house out there, you know, how would you like that? | ||
| If I just came in and rolled up and said, hey, I'm going to put a seven-story apartment building right here. | ||
| They change the actual zoning. | ||
| I would say, do it, fill it with Section 8. | ||
| I'd love that. | ||
| I would like it because it would increase my property value. | ||
| You think it would? | ||
| Okay, so that's a good question. | ||
| It depends on the area. | ||
| Part of the problem is like in New York, I think part of the biggest, some people are going to argue with me, but New York was built on this stock exchange. | ||
| That's what created New York. | ||
| New York was the stock exchange. | ||
| And, you know, $4.7 trillion spinning around the earth. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| But over since COVID, you know, we got $7.8 trillion spinning around outside of the earth that none of us ever touch. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| And that's where Wall Street lives. | ||
| It doesn't live in New York anymore. | ||
| You don't have to show up every day on the floor. | ||
| You don't have to pull tickets and get on the phone and call everybody. | ||
| So if the new mayor decides that he wants to give away New York, the majority of the real money in New York is, they're just visiting New York. | ||
| Business doesn't happen in New York anymore. | ||
| It happens on, it's not the same thing. | ||
| In California, our Wall Street is our gold coast. | ||
| It's real estate. | ||
| So it's here. | ||
| It's not here. | ||
| So we have to protect it or we're just going to lose it to the masses, which I don't see happening. | ||
| A lot of the real estate burned down and they're not going to let it be brought back. | ||
| That's correct. | ||
| They're going to turn it into high-density housing. | ||
| Well, yeah. | ||
| So I want to ask you about that. | ||
| I mean, do you think anything can be done to prevent this? | ||
| And if you could recommend one policy for California, as someone who actually works in this field, everyone says trust the experts. | ||
| I think the experts are the people who are actually able to make a living in the field. | ||
| So as someone who is an expert in the sense that you know how the market functions well enough to operate in it, if there was one thing that the state of California could do differently to get more houses built, what would that be? | ||
| Oh, I was going to get more houses built? | ||
| Yeah, yeah, to get more houses built. | ||
| Well, I was going to say, though, if I could have one policy, it would be voter ID. | ||
| Oh, amen, of course. | ||
| That's a given. | ||
| And debris on rail. | ||
| We wouldn't drive everything on trucks. | ||
| And we wouldn't change zoning. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Number one thing you cannot do is it's called ripping the rug. | ||
| You make an investment in something and then I come along and I change the zoning. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And if you're changing the zoning, then people aren't going to invest. | ||
| And when you rip the rug, people won't invest. | ||
| And that's by definition what's wrong with California. | ||
| We change the rules after you've already made your decision. | ||
| So you build, we need workforce housing and nobody wants to call it workforce housing because they don't like the name of it. | ||
| So why don't we call it, you know, employee accommodations? | ||
| You know, I don't care what we call it, but if you move a company in there, you've got to give them a place to live. | ||
| We try to build a railroad or our high-speed rail. | ||
| Oh my gosh, yeah, it was a decision. | ||
| Okay, well, would it surprise you to know that probably 25% of the money that was used for high-speed rail went into the brick and mortar structure? | ||
| The rest of it went to all the people fighting the rail. | ||
| So you can't, you know, it's bureaucracy cannot build. | ||
| And if you have a government the size of ours with that kind of spending, you've already taken the taxpayers who are paying six, $7,000 a year just to pay salaries for government before you do anything else. | ||
| That's why we don't have enough police. | ||
| That's why we don't have enough fire. | ||
| So in real estate, we cannot rip the rug. | ||
| We cannot rezone things. | ||
| And also, we have property tax. | ||
| Property tax is for police and fire. | ||
| What does it say on your property tax bill here? | ||
| It says we are stealing from you. | ||
| Okay, so property tax bill. | ||
| You got to say no. | ||
| It says right on it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Read it. | |
| It says what it's for. | ||
| You can't scare me. | ||
| It's probably not that terrible here, is it? | ||
| Property tax. | ||
| Property tax. | ||
| Is it terrible? | ||
| Taxes in West Virginia are really, really bad because this was a Democrat state for a long time. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And it only recently turned Republican. | ||
| It has some of the worst tax law in the country. | ||
| Well, I'm curious because also, I know there was some proposition voted on in the 90s. | ||
| Last time I was in California, I was actually surprised by, I know the property taxes there seem high, but they're actually low compared to other blue states. | ||
| Oh, well, that's because we have this thing called Prop 13, which is this 1%. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| And it's like protected by this group. | ||
| They're called the Howard Jarvis Group. | ||
| Basically, they covet and protect it. | ||
| And they're the gatekeepers, I should say. | ||
| And they've literally fought everything off since 1979. | ||
| And this mansion tax thing snuck in there. | ||
| And the mansion tax, like if you have a lot in the Pacific Palisades worth $5 million, you are paying mansion tax on that burned out ash pile. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| It's insane. | ||
| That's so heavy. | ||
| And also, you know, it affected the real estate market so badly in LA that nobody wants to trade. | ||
| So the real estate just stopped trading. | ||
| And that's the same as Wall Street stopping trading. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So the whole thing's affected. | ||
| And if I were the governor of the state, I would never rezone with people that have invested. | ||
| It's just not cool. | ||
| And we do have a housing problem, but what we really have is the homeless problem because we don't have anywhere to put them. | ||
| And we're too soft on the problem. | ||
| Like you have to separate people. | ||
| You have to say, hi, what's your problem? | ||
| You know, come up to the table. | ||
| Are you a drug addict? | ||
| Are you forever homeless? | ||
| Are you just having a tough time? | ||
| Do you think that they let the wildfires happen on purpose? | ||
| Well, I definitely think that they, that's a good question. | ||
| And part of me does. | ||
| So let me preface that with a couple things. | ||
| First, there was the claim that they didn't send enough firefighters out in time. | ||
| There's another claim that firefighters initially, when the fire was put out, because it reignited, knew that there was still some embers and they were instructed to leave and did. | ||
| I don't know if that's true or not, but those are the rumors I see online. | ||
| Okay, so what happened is we've got a pretty big environmental control that was in place about three decades ago that says we have to protect brush thistle, which is this weird brush that grows underneath all of the forestry. | ||
| We also have urban forestry. | ||
| We have the Santa Monica Conservatory. | ||
| We have all these groups that manage open space. | ||
| None of them have any money, so they never clean it. | ||
| So everywhere around is basically like a Tinderbox, right? | ||
| So a fire starts and it's just impossible. | ||
| On top of it, we have not maintained our water and our water structures and our water pumping and all of our reservoirs are all dilapidated. | ||
| One was closed. | ||
| The one that we use for the Palisades was closed. | ||
| This is, again, a problem with just maintaining infrastructure. | ||
| Again, property tax is for infrastructure, police, and fire, and schools. | ||
| That's what it's for. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| All of it is a shut show. | ||
| Can I say that on air? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sorry. | |
| Well, we've already seen it work out. | ||
| It was climate change. | ||
| Beep. | ||
| I just said beep. | ||
| Climate change is gone now. | ||
| So now they have. | ||
| Well, we definitely heated it up there. | ||
| So now we have the same problem where basically they haven't, you know, they're not doing any brush clearance and they're not fixing the water problems. | ||
| But more importantly, is they found this guy that lit a fire in the Lachman fire, this little fire. | ||
| It was like 10 acres or something. | ||
| And they put it out. | ||
| They called and put it out about 10 days before the real fires or seven days before the real fires. | ||
| They put it out. | ||
| And the guy went to Florida or left. | ||
| Now, the big thing is, did the city cause it? | ||
| Did the state cause it? | ||
| And I don't want to push name names and say who did it because I'm not sure. | ||
| But at the end of the day, what it looks like to me is that if they have an arsonist in the middle of this thing, whether he did or didn't, it removes liability from the state and city. | ||
| And to me, that's like not, I mean, this kid's going to get hung up. | ||
| I'm sure he lit the fire. | ||
| I'm sure it was terrible, but they didn't knock it down all the way or relit. | ||
| I think this guy like flicked a cigarette or something and then he searched on his phone. | ||
| Can I get in trouble for an accidental fire or something? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| The implication being he was smoking out at the brush. | ||
| And nobody's up there going, oh, yeah, this guy caused these fires. | ||
| What caused these fires is we didn't have any water. | ||
| We didn't have the fire department is paper thin. | ||
| There's just not enough people. | ||
| They've made so many cuts. | ||
| Half the equipment doesn't work. | ||
| And then you have this massive, you know, crazy brush thing. | ||
| I think society is just crumbling. | ||
| And I'm not saying it lightly. | ||
| I mean, everywhere I look, society is fractured in some ways. | ||
| I think this largely has to do with no new young people. | ||
| We are in it. | ||
| Every year, we had a consistently large number of 16-year-olds to enter the low-skilled workforce, 18-year-olds, 20-year-olds, except this time. | ||
| So Democrats try flooding the country with illegal immigrants, thinking this might solve the problem. | ||
| Of course, it will not because all you're doing is bringing in Honduran farmers to try and replace what should have been assistant managers at, you know, in an office or something. | ||
| It's not going to work. | ||
| And so now we have all these stories. | ||
| The latest one of the semi-truck with the naked Chinese guy in it who can't speak English and doesn't know what street signs are, because they're like, we need people. | ||
| We'll take whatever. | ||
| It doesn't work that way. | ||
| And so I think it's crumbling. | ||
| So there's no firefighters. | ||
| Yep, no firefighters. | ||
| We can't even open restaurants out here because they couldn't find staff to work in the kitchens. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| I think there's also this really big disconnect with what's happening in the tech industry. | ||
| I mean, you know, Amazon just laid off, what, 14,000 people? | ||
| 30. | ||
| Did they raise it? | ||
| Yesterday it was 14. | ||
| The initial report was that they were going to cut 30,000 jobs. | ||
| So yesterday it was 14,000, I think. | ||
| I mean, that's tremendous. | ||
| You know, Walmart was the largest. | ||
| 14,000 was confirmed yesterday. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Up to 30,000 potentially. | ||
| So all those people that can have their own STEM degrees and all that stuff, what are they going to do? | ||
| There's no shop in schools. | ||
| We need to bring back shop in high schools. | ||
| I mean, how do you not have shop? | ||
| How do you not teach people a basic skill set? | ||
| Oh, we got to abolish high school. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Well, first of all, there's this whole thing going on. | ||
| While I was here, by the way. | ||
| High school is the problem. | ||
| While I was in D.C., I went to this really cool conference at Heritage, and they were talking about removing iPhones or telephones out of schools from K through 12 because of the decline in learning. | ||
| And it's tremendous if you look at the math on it. | ||
| And DeSantis is already, DeSantis in Florida has already started it. | ||
| And I'm going to propose the initiative in California. | ||
| I think it's a really great idea. | ||
| I think the school is the decline in learning. | ||
| I think government institutionalized learning facilities make communists. | ||
| Ah, that's probably true, especially in college. | ||
| It is. | ||
| And I've had personal experience with some of this stuff. | ||
| I tell a lot of stories, but I had one story where there's an individual I hired for a job with a master's degree, and they couldn't figure out how to solve simple problems on the back end of a website. | ||
| Literally something you could just Google search. | ||
| It was rudimentary. | ||
| I don't want to get too personal, but they said, I need to be told what to do. | ||
| And I said, that's not how this works. | ||
| You are hired for the job, so you do it. | ||
| If I was working on the back end of a website, I'd be the web dev. | ||
| But when you're hired for that job, you figure it out. | ||
| They couldn't because they spent 24 years of their lives in an environment where they're told what to do every time, as opposed to solving the problem on their own. | ||
| So I say, I have no problem with some kind of education system, but our current public government institutionalization just makes communists who are dependent on government and expect government to feed them. | ||
| How does it work? | ||
| Schools in our country? | ||
| Lunchtime, you go to the cafeteria, the government food is available. | ||
| It's low quality. | ||
| It's crap, but the government has it for you. | ||
| Got a problem? | ||
| Talk to the government. | ||
| Then you get out of these, these young people. | ||
| We all laughed. | ||
| We were like, man, when these kids get out of college, they're in for a rude awakening. | ||
| And what happened? | ||
| They got out of college and they were in for a rude awakening, except we didn't realize they were violent and threatened American society saying, No, no, no, we don't care the way you think it should be. | ||
| We're going to beat you until you give us what we want. | ||
| So we started seeing college students scream at the professor, get their professors fired. | ||
| Then they get out of college. | ||
| Now they're in the workforce. | ||
| They nuked Bud Light and Target. | ||
| They are just destroying everything because these people, they're voting for Zoran Mamdani and Gavin Newsom because they're just saying the government should always tell us what to do because we raised them to think so. | ||
| Well, and this gets into this point about what they tell us, what stories they tell us. | ||
| We all remember the narrative about the Great Depression we were given in school. | ||
| Everything was horrible because the government wasn't doing enough. | ||
| And then FDR stepped in and saved the day. | ||
| It's like, well, actually, the United States had the slowest economic recovery of any developed nation on the entire planet. | ||
| FDR confiscated everybody's gold. | ||
| He put people in internment camps. | ||
| He literally set prices based on what he thought were lucky numbers that came to him in dreams. | ||
| He had more than two terms. | ||
| Like he was all of the things that they say that Trump is going to be. | ||
| He was all of the things that they warn us about Trump being. | ||
| And we were told he was a hero. | ||
| We're told he's like the best president we ever had. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because he radically expanded the size and scope of government. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Do you did you like high school? | ||
| No, I didn't like school. | ||
| I didn't like, listen, I had some awesome teachers, but I just was not into school. | ||
| I think schools are. | ||
| Did you like high school? | ||
| I didn't go. | ||
| Did you talk about high school? | ||
| I think I went for maybe like, I think it was three months and then I stopped going and got homeschooled. | ||
| You're super smart, though. | ||
| You have a high IQ. | ||
| I suppose. | ||
| I think that probably comes from the fact that I was homeschooled before starting grade school. | ||
| And I think the problem for me was, I call it a problem, but I was homeschooled before starting kindergarten. | ||
| So I entered grade school three or four grades ahead of everybody. | ||
| And it is annoying when your teachers are lying to you and you know they're lying to you and they lie to everybody. | ||
| And that's what our schools do. | ||
| So it's just all, I think I'm not going to tell every single story about school I could, but I can tell one, which was a relatively formative moment for me where I've known, I knew negatives before I even went to grade school, how to count negatives or whatever. | ||
| And I was in, I think it was eighth grade, and I'm doodling, and the teacher had a stupid math problem. | ||
| It was like 30 minus 50. | ||
| And she's going to catch me and she says, who can answer this question? | ||
| And she yells at me. | ||
| She goes, Mr. Poole. | ||
| And then I look up and I'm negative 20. | ||
| And I go back to doodling little stick figures. | ||
| And she goes, And what's the formula? | ||
| And I was like, what formula? | ||
| She's like, what's the formula for 30 minus 50? | ||
| And I said, 5, 4, 3, 2. | ||
| What are you talking about? | ||
| There's some stupid, circuitous method for flipping the minus sign and spinning it around. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I said, I said, I was like, I don't understand. | |
| I gave you the right answer. | ||
| And she was like, yes, but we're here to learn formula. | ||
| And I said, but I don't need that if I could just do it in my head, which is like a fairly common thing that you hear all the time at Trope of the student being like, I know how to do the math. | ||
| And then I said something to her, like, I'm sorry if I'm smarter than you and don't have to do it the hard way. | ||
| And so I got detention. | ||
| And then I was like, school's fake because she wasn't trying to teach me. | ||
| She wasn't trying to improve my math skills. | ||
| She was just trying to waste my time. | ||
| And so I'm over this. | ||
| And then what happened was when I go to high school, I'm in a public high school and I'm sitting in a literature class where the student is going, and the teacher goes, Amazon. | ||
| Amazon confirms. | ||
| And I'm going, why am I sitting here? | ||
| What a waste of my and everyone else's time because the classroom can only go as fast as the slowest student. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| So I got straight F's except for music class and my parents freaked out and pulled me and my brother out and then we got homeschooled instead. | ||
| And that was when I was 14. | ||
| And so instead of going to high school, I skateboarded playing music and programmed video games and made websites. | ||
| But you did a really good job learning. | ||
| I think anyone could. | ||
| So I have three kids and I homeschooled one of them. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Good for you. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I didn't do it. | |
| That's not easy. | ||
| I hired somebody to do it. | ||
| That's our plan for he needed to be homeschooled. | ||
| He didn't want to be, he didn't fit into the whole thing. | ||
| I don't think any kid. | ||
| Home school's a mess. | ||
| Their intent. | ||
| Listen, the most formative, most important years of a human being's life are the ages zero through five. | ||
| And our society says do nothing. | ||
| Now, to be fair, there are a lot of kids' programs, but what we're giving to our kids these days and in the past 20 years is psycho-babble, garbled nonsense on YouTube that ranges from insane, deranged, sexualized Sonic the Hedgehog. | ||
| Not a joke. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| It's literally what they're doing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Creepy stuff. | |
| Blood, guts, murder, eating feces, and they're giving it to babies. | ||
| And the best case scenario is a video from Mickey, from Disney Jr., where it's like four hours. | ||
| This is not a joke. | ||
| I think it's like four hours straight of Mickey Mouse singing hot dog. | ||
| That will make your kid a retard. | ||
| And I'm not exaggerating. | ||
| And so you are, so for me, I was lucky in that I'm two and my mom's like, let's do math. | ||
| Other kids are sitting in front of the screen where they're going, hot dog, hot dog, hot dog. | ||
| It's not a joke. | ||
| I am not making a joke. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, dude, I know. | |
| I know you're talking about. | ||
| Hot dog, hot dog. | ||
| I know exactly what you're talking about. | ||
| I mean, it's just wild to me that there is even a debate about whether phones should be in classrooms. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wait, wait, exactly. | |
| I'm sorry. | ||
| Mary, Mary, Mary, I'm sorry. | ||
| I was wrong. | ||
| It's not four hours. | ||
| It's 14. | ||
| It's 10 hours. | ||
| I'm not joking. | ||

| Parents are putting this in front of their babies and pressing play, and it is literally 10 hours of Mickey Mouse singing the same thing. | ||
| Your kids are going to be retards, and they're going to have deranged worldviews about people. | ||
| They're going to get surgical Mickey Mouse ears attached to their heads. | ||
| This is not a joke. | ||
| So you do agree with me. | ||
| This is a way to get this out of high school. | ||
| All of this is, listen, so my daughter is now eight months old. | ||
| And I am, my wife. | ||
| Congratulations, By the way. | ||
| I appreciate it. | ||
| And my mother-in-law were playing children's music, which is the fine children's music of like the wheels on the bus. | ||
| And I said no to this. | ||
| Not that I have unilateral authority, but I strongly expressed my disdain and changed the music. | ||
| And I said, the issue is never before in the history of humanity did we have children's content until the last 60 or 70 years. | ||
| Children used to learn by observing their parents. | ||
| That was it. | ||
| We didn't lie to them and create fake versions of reality because babies need to see exactly what adult life is so they can absorb that and emulate it. | ||
| So when you play music like Wheels on the Bus, which a lot of people are going to be like, Tim, you're a party pooper and let kids be kids. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| You do whatever you want. | ||
| My point is, my daughter, there's a really great song by the band Me Without You. | ||
| The Fox, the Crow, and the Cookie is the song. | ||
| And it's the parable of the fox, the crow, and the cookie, literally in an indie rock song. | ||
| And I'm like, that's my limit on children's music. | ||
| An actual indie rock band with a song from the 2000s, but it's the real parable of the fox. | ||
| You guys know the story of the fox, the crow and the cookie, right? | ||
| No. | ||
| The fox tries to steal the cookie, but he can't, and the crow snatches it. | ||
| So the fox goes to the crow and says, Mr. Crow, would you please share? | ||
| And the crowd won't do it. | ||
| So then he says, Well, if you're not going to share it, please, would you sing for me? | ||
| Because your voice is so beautiful, it would ease my pains and fears. | ||
| And the crow, as arrogant as he is, says, Well, of course I'll sing. | ||
| And then the cookie falls down, the fox snatches it and runs off. | ||
| It's a great, it's a great parable, and it's a rock song. | ||
| But I'm like, my, you know, the songs we're going to play, we're going to play like classic rock songs. | ||
| We're going to play classical music, classic rock songs, real music that adults listen to. | ||
| Nothing explicit. | ||
| That's, you know, people later. | ||
| But I don't want hot dog, hot, diggity dog garbage. | ||
| I'm sitting with this Miss Rachel. | ||
|
unidentified
|
She's talking to the kids like this. | |
| Hi, babies. | ||
| And then she has these really brightly colored animations on the screen, trying to hyper-stimulate the child's mind. | ||
| And they literally see colors in more saturated light than adults do and hear sounds a different way at that age. | ||
| It's mesmerizing and they're glued to the screen. | ||
| My daughter listens to Devil Went Down to Georgia and great songs like that. | ||
| Dude, did you see the bird? | ||
| Did you see the viral tweet about that? | ||
| About Devil Goes Down to Georgia? | ||
| No, which one? | ||
| Someone's like, it's such a uniquely American song because in any other culture, it'd be about like hubris and challenging the devil to a fiddling contest. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But of course, in this song, like he wins, he's actually that is pretty great. | |
| I mean, the song's amazing. | ||
| However, I like the other meme better. | ||
| I don't know if you saw it where it said, when I was younger, I was scared because I genuinely thought the devil's band, the devil's band sounded way better than yeah. | ||
| What was it? | ||
| It was his band of demons. | ||
| That's such a great band. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's right. | |
| That was a fun, fun, really great song. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Solid one. | ||
| That was a real short period, though, of music. | ||
| It didn't last a long time. | ||
| No, it didn't. | ||
| Well, to what you were saying earlier about the debate about like whether smartphones should be allowed in the classroom, it just shouldn't even be a debate. | ||
| I never was never allowed to have phones in the classroom. | ||
| I went to incredibly strict schools and it was not even like that wasn't even a conversation. | ||
| You had to wear uniforms. | ||
| You weren't allowed to express yourself. | ||
| If you so much as whispered in class, it was like, you're out of here. | ||
| And you either follow the rules or you're out. | ||
| And we just learned that there is a hierarchy between us, the students who are meant to be taught and the teachers who are authority figures. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And it just wasn't questioned. | |
| I do want to stress, I don't know how my daughter will end up turning out because she only watches two types of programming: Married to Strangers, which is like 90-day fiancé and, you know, that's what women watch. | ||
| Because my wife watches that all the time. | ||
| And then Fox News. | ||
| So that's it. | ||
| If she doesn't actually watch it because we don't let her watch watch, but I'll be watching the news and she'll be in the room and that's what's on. | ||
| And she'll hear it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then when I leave, my wife will put on Love is Blind or 90 Day Fiancé or whatever. | ||
| So she might have an accent like a news anchor or an influencer. | ||
| Well, a Republican influence. | ||
| I didn't want to say this to Jesse Waters, but when the five is on and Greg Gutfeld talks, she gets excited and looks at the screen. | ||
| And then it switched to Jesse and she started crying. | ||
| And then when Greg started talking, she stopped and fucked up again. | ||
| When Greg Gutfeld is your Miss Rachel. | ||
| So funny, dude. | ||
| I mean, I definitely think that, you know, I have a very strong opinion about, you know, whether or not school's for everybody. | ||
| And I don't think it is for everybody. | ||
| But, you know, not a lot of people can have a situation where they have two people at home and they can stay home and raise their kids at home. | ||
| And public school serves, you know, the greater good. | ||
| It does, but it's terribly unacceptable. | ||
| But you have to have, you have to have some version of it. | ||
| And this, the, the math that I saw the other day in this, in this symposium about what the iPhone and what phones have done, especially smartphones to kids since 2012, in terms of their ability to learn, pay attention, stimulation, things like that. | ||
| It's mind-boggling. | ||
| This is an unacceptable condition for our country. | ||
| It's insane. | ||
| That you have to have both parents working. | ||
| And Zoran Mamdani says that he's going to give free childcare. | ||
| And this is part of the communist plan. | ||
| Can you imagine who's going to be watching them? | ||
| The government. | ||
| The point is, what he's really saying is, give your children to the state. | ||
| And they're clapping and cheering. | ||
| Utopians have said this for all of history. | ||
| You even go back to Plato's Republic. | ||
| They always want to undermine the family. | ||
| They want to take children away from parents as early as possible. | ||
| This is part of the agenda. | ||
| By the way, I think kindergarten and preschool and all school is free childcare. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I think, especially those early preschool schools. | ||
| We should make it as good as we can make it. | ||
| And this is a start. | ||
| And we should put shop back in school. | ||
| I mean, I don't know why we don't put things in schools that kids really want to learn or need to learn. | ||
| Well, I appreciate you mentioning, by the way, though, that you don't think school's for everyone. | ||
| I've got my dad's very, very brilliant. | ||
| His brothers are also smart, but like my dad was book smart. | ||
| He loves school. | ||
| His brothers did not. | ||
| They basically all became Chicago police. | ||
| Very smart guys, but just did not like to sit still, didn't like to sit in a desk. | ||
| And one of my uncles, he ended up, may he rest in peace, he was a detective. | ||
| So very, very smart guy. | ||
| But my dad has this story about when they were kids and my dad loved school and his brother hated it. | ||
| His brother said, I hate school. | ||
| A bunch of women make you sit there and talk to them. | ||
| Well, I mean, I agree with the concept that school is not for everyone, but if we're to have schools, the kids need to be treated like little soldiers. | ||
| Very austere. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They need to have authority that they respect. | |
| I think it's very much learning how to get along with people. | ||
| The problem with schools is that children are learning from children. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| That is not the way human society has ever functioned and it can't function. | ||
| Well, and also nowadays, we break them up into different age groups. | ||
| So it's like you are with your grade, but children never developed that way historically. | ||
| You were talking to older kids and younger kids. | ||
| So you were not in this weird niche where your development was stultified. | ||
| There's a viral video that we bring up quite a bit where it's like kids post-World War II being interviewed. | ||
| And it's like a seven-year-old kid going, I'm quite concerned with the economy of Switzerland. | ||
| You know, following the war, and everyone's like, how do these kids sound like adults? | ||
| Because the only thing they've ever been exposed to is adults having these conversations. | ||
| Now what's happened is 10-year-olds don't learn from the teacher. | ||
| They hate the teacher and ignore the teacher. | ||
| They learn from 10-year-olds. | ||
| And so you're basically running, you're taking copies of copies and copying off each other. | ||
| Instead of the kids learning from adults, they're just doing random garbled nonsense. | ||
| And this is the leftist way where they say children are blank slates and they want the kids to decide their own names for themselves and to figure out what gender they really are instead of being told that they are a thing with a definitive form and a name. | ||
| Yeah, that's right. | ||
| And you can tell the difference, by the way. | ||
| I mean, at my church, there's the church I used to go to before I moved in the town that I went to college in. | ||
| There was this really great, like, traditional Latin mass community. | ||
| And not everyone homeschooled, but some of the parents did. | ||
| And like, you could just tell their children were so precocious compared to the others. | ||
| They spoke on a much more adult level with a more advanced vocabulary because they were speaking with their parents and they were actually being educated at their level instead of, as Tim mentioned, being held back by the dumbest kids in the class. | ||
| Let's just be blunt about it. | ||
| Like the slowest kid who the teacher has to slow down for. | ||
| It's absolutely infuriating to me because I was fortunate enough that I had enough, call it arrogance or testosterone to tell everyone around me to shut up and I would do whatever I want. | ||
| But the kids around me that I see that had potential whose lives are ruined because of the public schooling system, it breaks my heart. | ||
| And the kids I knew who are dead because of the public school system from gangs, from violence, and from drug use. | ||
| It should never have been that way, and it wouldn't have been that way if we had a proper functioning society. | ||
| But we've industrialized and we've communismized. | ||
| Not completely, but this is absolutely insane that parents are like, I have no choice. | ||
| We both have to work. | ||
| Well, I can't tell you what's possible. | ||
| I can't tell you what you have to do, what you can do. | ||
| What I would suggest, and what I try to do is strive to homestead. | ||
| Do your best. | ||
| Our plan for our daughter is going to be homeschool pods. | ||
| We're fortunate that basically everybody in our community is having babies. | ||
| So I think, let me just do something like one, two, three, four, five, six. | ||
| There's like six babies in the past several months. | ||
| It's fantastic. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| This means that they're going to grow up with each other. | ||
| They're going to learn from us, but we are going to, there's a couple, there's a couple ways that I think it could and should be done. | ||
| One of the ideas that I had was every parent takes a turn, you know, one day of the week being the teacher for the kids. | ||
| Or the easy route for everybody is you hire a teacher. | ||
| However, considering we are all somewhat like moderate to very traditional in our community, you've got a lot of the moms who intend to be full-time moms. | ||
| So I'm actually fairly confident that with this big network we have, the moms are going to be very, they're going to be very possible they will be the teachers in the early years for our kids, which will allow us to do that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That'd be great. | |
| I mean, look, there's, I think, five and a half, maybe six million students in California. | ||
| And I think there's 7,000 high schools, 10,000 elementary and middle schools. | ||
| So you've got a large group of people that are the future. | ||
| And we need to do everything we can to make the school system work because there's no easy fix. | ||
| And I think the iPhone thing or the telephones out of the schools is a very good start. | ||
| And also, and also not most teachers, when they enter into the teaching business, it's because they really want to do it. | ||
| And imagine what it's like. | ||
| I don't believe that for a second. | ||
| Oh, there's lots of great teachers. | ||
| I'm sure there are, but my experience with the industry and with people who have been teachers is that, so the friends of mine who got into teaching were like, I was surprised to find how many people hate this job and never wanted it. | ||
| And the reason they took it was because they got a degree and couldn't find anything else. | ||
| So they decided to get into teaching. | ||
| Well, that's probably true. | ||
| I wouldn't say that's the majority, though. | ||
| And I would say that especially young kids. | ||
| And this is more anecdotal and personal, but there was probably one teacher that I've had in my life that I thought was actually a good teacher. | ||
| And the rest were abusive to some capacity. | ||
| From negligent to abusive is the experience I've had in the Chicago public school system. | ||
| It's terrible. | ||
| And it's worse than that because we've got stories out of Chicago where there was one like six-year-old kid who they locked in a padded room because he was having a temper tantrum and then they wouldn't let him out and left him there. | ||
| So he defecated all over himself. | ||
| That's Chicago public schools. | ||
| So I can't speak to California, but my experience, a lot of people is the school systems are all broken. | ||
| I just say, look, there's going to be a lot of people who can't or don't care or whatever the issue is. | ||
| But my. | ||
| The parents? | ||
| The kids. | ||
| Of course they are, which means the parents need to do everything in their power to give their kids the best opportunity imaginable. | ||
| And it is surprising to me how many parents refuse to. | ||
| I can't believe how many parents are like, I know full well that the state will take my child from me and sterilize them. | ||
| I'm going to send them into the school anyway. | ||
| How many people we've interviewed in the show who are like, you know, I know full well that the high school in my area is showing kids pictures of dildos and teaching them about anal and things like this. | ||
| I'm going to send them there anyway. | ||
| Oh, it's terrible. | ||
| And I'm like, why? | ||
| Why are you doing that? | ||
| I don't understand. | ||
| But we do have to go to super chats. | ||

| Yaqui India. | ||
| If people want to live under socialism, then give them socialism. | ||
| Make EBT snap stores where purchases can be controlled. | ||
| Here's an idea. | ||
| You can choose to opt in. | ||
| How about this? | ||
| If you ever want to receive benefits, you opt into a system where you can never profit again. | ||
| Let me clarify. | ||
| You will never be allowed to profit until you pay back what was put in the system. | ||
| So here's how it would work. | ||
| You fall in hard times and you go, I have no choice. | ||
| I need welfare. | ||
| And they say, right this way. | ||
| Here's your card. | ||
| You now can purchase anything you want with it. | ||
| However, any money you make will be taken from you instantly until it's paid back. | ||
| So I know people are probably going to argue like we pay taxes into it already. | ||
| My point is you can never make money. | ||
| You will be in socialism forever in that system. | ||
| Oh, and you also can't vote. | ||
| Well, yeah, that's the thing. | ||
| I would say. | ||
| You can't vote while you're receiving benefits. | ||
| After a certain amount of time on benefits, I would say that a person shouldn't be able to vote. | ||
| I think if this is someone who's been a net positive taxpayer their whole life, and so they weren't able to save a safety net and now they're withdrawing from the system on hard times, I'm fine with that. | ||
| But after a certain amount of time, I would agree, I think a person shouldn't be able to vote. | ||
| You can't just take because their incentive is just going to be able to vote for more welfare. | ||
| It's a difficult one, but there is a terrible problem with it's also the same problem with politicians voting because they're voting for things that keep them working. | ||
| That's a really interesting. | ||
| Should you be able to vote for something that's going to benefit you, but not others? | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Or to take from others to give to yourself. | ||
| Maybe we need to restrict voting to maybe a smaller group of people, perhaps. | ||
| How about just an ID to stop? | ||
| We just start needing an ID. | ||
| Oh my gosh. | ||
| It's true. | ||
| You can't because politicians will only ever vote for policies and their benefit. | ||
|

|
All right. | |
| Flawed legacy says, Tim Crew, do you think it's possible that grocery prices are only high because EBT is technically subsidizing grocery store in the same way colleges increase prices when the government is paying? | ||
| I would say it's not the only reason that they're high, but it definitely brings a price up. | ||
| Yep, because it increases demand without increasing supply. | ||
| More people. | ||
| So it depends. | ||
| It's actually kind of difficult. | ||
| I'd argue this. | ||
| Theoretically, it might bring prices down because of volume. | ||
| So like we're working on pool water right now, and we absolutely could sell them for 20 bucks, but if you order them direct, you got to pay for shipping, which is it's water, so it's expensive. | ||
| We're talking with distributors and we're talking with the manufacturer. | ||
| And so if we do your standard glass bottle with a twist cap, they shrink wrap it. | ||
| We can get them to around like 20 bucks, I think. | ||
| I think it would end up being like 22 with taxes and all that stuff out the door. | ||
| But we don't, we like, we're not literally trying to just stick it to liquid death by making me cheap product. | ||
| So I said, no, let's do cardboard boxes. | ||
| Let's do paper stickers instead of plastic stickers. | ||
| It's still going to have the cap with the plastic gasket, but we're not pretending we're anti-plastic the same way that liquid death is. | ||
| So it's probably going to end up being like 25 out the door. | ||
| If we sold 1 million cases, it would be 15 out the door because then we'd end up making like three cents per case, but the profit we get after cost, like it's way better than we get from selling for 25. | ||
| So volume matters. | ||
| Theoretically, if you increase the amount of people buying the product, Coca-Cola can drop the price way down because volume is where they find their profit. | ||
| But if the purchasing pool shrinks, they're going to charge more money. | ||
| So it's hard to say for sure. | ||
| All right, Miss for Missy says, ooh, nice spooky intro. | ||
| Mwahaha, my spooky fine of Timcast and their Discord is complete. | ||
| Spooky leader Missa. | ||
| Well, okay. | ||
| Shane Juano says, I saw a news interview where a black woman was complaining about losing snap. | ||
| She said that this is the government trying to hurt black women who can't get jobs. | ||

| This is Schrödinger's welfare. | ||
| It's either something that white people disproportionately benefit from because when people don't understand per capita, that's what they say. | ||

|
Oh, most the largest group receiving these welfare benefits are white. | |
| But then when you go to cut those benefits, they go, oh, this is targeting black people. | ||
| You can't have it both ways. | ||
| Yeah, you're right. | ||
| You can, actually. | ||
| No, I stand corrected. | ||
| You can have it. | ||

| Rivka, the jade gamer, says, Tim, in 2020, the Supreme Court of the U.S. ruled in Ramos VLA that state-level juries must be unanimous on every element of the crime. | ||
| The concealed crime is an element of Trump's conviction, indeed, and agreed. | ||
| That's why it's appealed. | ||
| Now, I'm going to let you guys in on a secret. | ||
| Do you know why the appellate court, which heard the case a year ago, hasn't ruled on it? | ||
| No, why? | ||
| Because they are in a Democrat jurisdiction. | ||
| And if they come out right now and say Trump wins, they'll get lynched. | ||
| But Trump is the president. | ||
| And if they come out against Trump, Trump will come for them. | ||
| So they're saying, let's do nothing because we don't want to be in the middle of this fight. | ||
| But Trump was unjustly and wrongly convicted. | ||
| And if we don't win the culture war, then you'll be in a gulag. | ||
| And that's why you got to support twisted plots because we can't make culture war without culture. | ||

|
unidentified
|
So gross. | |

|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I'm on a dang old man Fu Sam. | ||
| Bro, a Fuzzy name is like a black woman. | ||
| She's like, I'll tell you what, I'm going to go next door. | ||
| I don't take that. | ||
| How can Chili? | ||
| I'm putting out dentity. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know what I'm saying? | |
| And I was like, no, I have no idea what that was. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Only the part where you grunted, do you know what I'm saying? | ||
| Nam Sane. | ||
| Nam Sane is what you say. | ||
| All right, what do we got here? | ||
| 10 buck stew says, if you think about it, half of your paycheck gets taken to support a bunch of pets you didn't even know you had. | ||
| Those pets are also actively conspiring and voting against your interests. | ||
| We can't keep doing this. | ||
| That's what I'm saying. | ||
| Shut it down. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| Everybody's like, we have to wean. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nope. | |
| Off. | ||
| Bro, if I was president, I'd be the craziest MFer like ever in government. | ||
| I would just be doing things. | ||
| I'd be alive. | ||
| Try me. | ||
| Ain't no way I'd turn Snap back on. | ||
| I think that's what we've got. | ||
| I would be off. | ||
| Our president do things right now. | ||
| To a great degree. | ||
| To a great degree. | ||
| I think it's probably true. | ||
| And I think the reality is we're learning that the president alone can't do it. | ||
| You need a good staff. | ||
| I think he learned that the hard way. | ||
| And so now he's got some good people around him. | ||
| I hope, I hope, I hope come November 1st, Snap is off. | ||
| Just off. | ||
| We got to get off the addiction. | ||
| We got to get off the drug, the welfare drug. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Like, you know what people should be doing? | ||
| They should be farming. | ||
| They should have a homestead. | ||
| We should spread out from the cities to the best degree that we can. | ||
| And people should grow food in their backyard and take care of themselves. | ||
| Everybody. | ||
| Even Seamus. | ||
| I don't want to. | ||
| How many chickens do you have, Seamus? | ||
| I actually did have some chickens. | ||
| Did? | ||
| I did. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Did you eat them? | ||
| I told you, you know, I moved. | ||
| I moved. | ||
| Did you eat the chickens? | ||
| I ate one of them. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Good. | ||
| Good. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Delicious. | |
| Good job. | ||
| It was delicious. | ||
| They are delicious. | ||
| We had rooster because we breed the chickens. | ||
| So we ended up with, I think, like 16 roosters. | ||
| Oh, yeah, it happened. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And so we were like, let's eat them. | ||
| And my wife made a rooster chili that everyone loved so much, it just was gone in like three minutes. | ||
| So, did you plug it and kill it and do it? | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| You had it done. | ||
| We had a we have, I think what we did was our chicken tender Kim took care of it for us. | ||
| We have someone who works here who handles that stuff. | ||
| I'd do it myself if I wasn't doing all the work for this stuff. | ||
| I absolutely would just absolutely. | ||
| You put them in that little funnel thing where you stick their heads through it and you chop their head off, and then all the blood drains out and it stinks and you got to cut them up. | ||
| Yeah, that sounds funny. | ||
| We've done a lot of chicken practicing things at the ranch, and one of the things is what I think is really strange is that the eat chickens, the chickens you eat, they only live 52 days. | ||
| And if you wait too long, they actually disintegrate. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| Whoa, really? | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| Disintegrate. | ||
| They eat turkeys too, by the way. | ||
| Wait, you mean like they're alive and they start to start cracking? | ||
| The dish don't, yeah, they don't hold, they die. | ||
| The turkeys actually got holes in them because I didn't want to kill them. | ||
| What kind of chickens you got? | ||
| Swear to God. | ||
| We have chickens that have been alive for five, six years already. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| So do I. | ||
| I have those too. | ||
| But the specific group of chickens that you buy, which are supposed to say super tender. | ||
| Broilers? | ||
| You're talking about those like GMO chickens that like have – They can't walk? | ||
| They're like little – you hatch – you get them – they're already hatched. | ||
| You order them hatched and then you raise them in a – we have these like mobile things that move around. | ||
| And yeah, you have to – if you don't kill them on the day you're supposed to, they get – they're not edible. | ||
| I know that they get tough when they get old. | ||
| Well, they get tough if they walk too. | ||
| They walk? | ||
| Yeah, if they walk. | ||
| If they're really, truly free-range, they're much tougher. | ||
| Oh, right, because the muscles move, you know? | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Well, I think you got to eat them the way nature is intended. | ||
| So we had like 13 – we had 16 roosters. | ||
| We killed 13 of them and I got to be honest, just like rooster drumstick didn't do it for me. | ||
| It's not the same. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| You know, it was tougher. | ||
| It tasted different. | ||
| But when cooked properly in the chili, everybody immediately like – when they tried the baked rooster, they were like, it's OK. | ||
| The chili though, it was gone in like three minutes. | ||
| Everybody filled up on it. | ||
| It was fantastic. | ||
| We do these organic turkeys from the sky up in Fallbrook every year and they're super skinny. | ||
| And I mean they just don't look like proper turkeys. | ||
| We cook them in underground for like 16 hours in these big ovens. | ||
| But they're so tough. | ||
| We got tons of wild turkey out here. | ||
| Do you? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know what I love about them city folk? | ||
| First of all, I'm not going to pretend to be a country because I'm from Chicago. | ||
| But at least I understand that turkeys fly. | ||
| And it's funny when people who like have never been out in the middle of nowhere come and see a flock of flying turkeys go by and they go, what are those? | ||
| Turkeys? | ||
| What? | ||
| Turkeys fly and they sleep in trees. | ||
| No, I remember when I was a little kid and I learned that turkeys could fly. | ||
| It blew my mind. | ||
| I was like, wait, in the wild they fly? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, I have swans and they fly and mine won't fly. | ||
| Well, I mean do you run everywhere? | ||
| Do you run everywhere? | ||
| It's not well motivated. | ||
| They don't go anywhere. | ||
| They don't want to leave the pond. | ||
| Do you run everywhere? | ||
| I mean, you know, just because I can, I don't, you know, we could we could run, too. | ||
| But I don't think they know they can fly. | ||
| The other thing, too, is people don't know what turkeys look like. | ||
| It's so sad. | ||
| Everybody's used to the picture of the turkey when the male turkey is puffing up and threatening you. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So when people see the wild turkeys and they're actually thin and small, they ask like, what is that? | ||
| And I'm like, that's a bunch of turkeys. | ||
| It's Thanksgiving dinner. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then they're like, but I thought turkeys look like walk up to the guy and see what he does. | ||
| And then he, you know, and then he looks all funny. | ||
| And he mogs you. | ||
| That's what he does. | ||
| That's literally it. | ||

They put their arms out and their tail gets all wide and they go, that's alpha male behavior. | |
| Exactly. | ||
| 100%. | ||
| I respect it. | ||
| They're like, get away from my girl. | ||
| What you thought? | ||
| All right, what have got here? | ||
| Eight ball jackets says, in New York, Snap can be used to purchase hot food at participating Popeyes and McDonald's. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| And even all-you can-eat Chinese buffet. | ||
| What? | ||
| That's search New York restaurant meals program. | ||
| Feds need to invade New York to establish the constitution and common sense. | ||
| I wouldn't be surprised. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| You could buy candy bars. | ||
| That's what I'm saying. | ||
| It's not for good fresh food anymore. | ||
| It's not a nutritional diet. | ||
| They should, welfare should be a bag of flour and some powdered milk. | ||
| That's it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Welfare should be: we give you a bullet and tell you where the turkeys are. | |
| No, those are my turkeys. | ||
| Go get your own. | ||
| Or, I mean, you know, honestly, welfare could be, wait, here's the idea. | ||
| If you need to go on welfare, then what we do is you opt into the welfare program where you get on a bus with your family, and there are these big 40-foot walls with razor wire on top and this gigantic Jurassic Park style gate that opens up. | ||
| They drive you in and drop you off and say the welfare program is, you know, 15,000 acres of open land. | ||
| Good luck. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| And then they close the door behind you. | ||
| That's just, there you go. | ||
| And, you know, good luck. | ||
| I do think that the pantries are great. | ||
| You know, the pantry idea is great where you can get a meal cooked and it's better managed. | ||
| But I think there should just be no welfare at all. | ||
| Well, she's talking about food pantry, though. | ||
| No, I'm saying it should all be private. | ||
| And to be fair, if there's a food pantry that's private, that's fine. | ||
| I think society worked way better when our charity came from churches. | ||
| It was small, localized communities. | ||
| And I'm not saying this in a religious sense. | ||
| I'm saying when you fell on hard times and you were a good person, the community would do what they could to help you out. | ||
| Insurance originated from: if my house burns down, I'll help you rebuild yours. | ||
| And everyone was like, you got to do it. | ||
| So then when an accident happened, everyone's like, we have to do it. | ||
| Now it's just like, don't know you. | ||
| That's not my purse. | ||
| I mean, it might be. | ||
| Come on, King of the Hill. | ||
| You still think you asked me? | ||
| No, that's my purse. | ||
| That's my purse. | ||
| I don't know you. | ||
| There's like, I don't know you. | ||
| Is that what he said? | ||
| That's my purse. | ||

That's my purse. | |
| I don't know you. | ||
| Yeah, and then he kicked you in the balls. | ||

unidentified
|
Classic. | |
| Anyway, sorry, you were saying something. | ||
| I was saying maybe with Amazon laying off all those people, they could open up a bunch of food pantries and stock them and feed people since they're saving so much money in payroll. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| All the things they don't want to do. | ||

All right. | |
| Invader J says, Seamus, I'm getting baptized this Sunday. | ||
| Just had my class tonight. | ||
| It's been a long, hard road to get to this point. | ||
| Deus Wolt. | ||
| God bless you. | ||
| I will pray for you. | ||
| Thank you, man. | ||
| Thank you for saying that. | ||
| That's beautiful. | ||
| My favorite Freedom Tunes ending is when Matt Walsh, Michael Knowles, and Seamus are with the Pope, and then Seamus puts on the helmet. | ||
| Is that what it is? | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| I think, or maybe Walsh does, but yeah, we take the Holy Land. | ||
| Or Noel, was it Knolls? | ||
| Yeah, you take the Holy Land belongs to the Holy Spirit. | ||
| It's a long cartoon where it was like Candace and Shapiro dating or debating. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sorry. | |
| Whoa. | ||
| Whoa. | ||
| Whoa, what happened there? | ||
| What kind of fan fiction are you? | ||
| Don't look at the unused Freedom Tunes script archive, all the fan fix I'm writing. | ||
| No, that was crazy. | ||
| We had them debate on like the whatever podcast or something. | ||
| We must have done this video like three years ago. | ||
| And yeah, then in the end, it was like, this is what should really happen in the whole world. | ||
| And then like the screen blinks really quick. | ||
| The Holy Land belongs to Rome. | ||
| No, I didn't do that. | ||
| And then it's Michael Knowles, Seamus, and Matt Walsh wearing Templar armor. | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
| And then you say something like, Yes, my eminence, or something like that, or your eminence. | ||
| Dude, this crazy thing is that, like, after over 600 videos, I can't even remember the exact dialogue there. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, it's too much. | ||
| We should pull that up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, we will. | |
| That'd be funny. | ||
| All right, we'll grab one more. | ||
| Let's see what we got here. | ||
| Eclipse, Ekilps. | ||
| What did that say? | ||
| Ecky Lips? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Tim, you're selling water. | ||
| Pretty sure it comes from the ground, and it's supposed to, it's supposed to be. | ||
| Pickle your old chickens. | ||
| Eastern Europeans know what's up. | ||
| Is that what you do? | ||
| You pickle them? | ||
| Well, we don't eat the chickens. | ||
| We just eat the eggs. | ||
| And they're fantastic. | ||
| When the egg shortages were happening, ain't nobody working here, had a problem. | ||
| We actually have a perk of when you come by here, you work here, you get free eggs. | ||
| And Libby, she comes on periodically and she always grabs a carton of eggs on her way out because that's what they're for. | ||
| Free eggs. | ||
| Oh, they're so good for you, too. | ||
| If they're organic, they're so good for you. | ||
| That's right from the chickens. | ||
| But I remember my first time having like an actual farm fresh egg blew my mind. | ||
| I was like, wait, the yoga. | ||
| It's not supposed to be light yellow. | ||
| I mean, it's not going to lie. | ||
| They don't taste different. | ||
| I know, but they love it. | ||
| I can taste the love that comes from them. | ||
| It's just, it's not. | ||
| Ours definitely tastes like richer, I think. | ||
| And when you scramble them, they're really dark yellow. | ||
| I love them. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So the store-bought ones, typically you'll have like a standard yellow. | ||
| And that could be true for depending on the kind of chicken you have. | ||
| Some of the chickens we have have like a dark orange. | ||
| It's got more iron or B vitamins, I think, in it. | ||

| I love the Matt Walsh and Michael's halls. | ||
| So good. | ||
| This is a fun one. | ||
| Did something else happen? | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| This story was pretty crazy. | ||
| We can ramble on this one. | ||
| They scrambled military jets over DCA, and nobody knows why. | ||
| Oh, boy. | ||
| Yeah, they ain't telling us. | ||
| I saw something, though, right? | ||
| There was apparently an aircraft on radar and then disappeared, and they scrambled military, and it's gone. | ||
| I'm going to go with aliens. | ||
| Yeah, they said google, google, google, google. | ||
| I'm going to go with ghosts. | ||
| It's Halloween. | ||
| You're going to go with Google, Google, Google, Google, Ghost. | ||
| It was ghosts. | ||
| Do you think it was aliens? | ||
| It's literally Halloween. | ||
| A vampire. | ||

I think it's great we can believe in aliens now publicly. | |
| Do you? | ||
| Of course. | ||
| Really? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why is that? | |
| Of course. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| I mean, how have you seen something? | ||
| Do you think we're the first? | ||
| No, aliens are just demons. | ||
| I don't know if we're the first, but we're the best baby. | ||
| If aliens want to come try, they can. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| What's the thing? | ||
| What's that thing that they that's outside of Mars too that they think it's blowing off the Atlas? | ||
| Three-eye Atlas. | ||
| Yeah, what is it? | ||
| Aliens. | ||
| Yeah, it proves it. | ||
| I'm confused. | ||
| There's a comet. | ||
| There's an object that's behaving erratically that is probably just a rock, but all these people are conspiracy theories. | ||
| It looks like a rock, for sure. | ||
| Yeah, it's an object that moved in a strange way called Three Eye Atlas. | ||
| It looks like a rock. | ||
| And they're saying it's aliens. | ||
| You ever see in Family Guy, the episode where the rapture happens, Seamus? | ||
| You ever watch that show? | ||
| I remember there was a Simpsons episode where the rapture happened. | ||
| I didn't know there was a show. | ||
| In Family Guy, Jesus returns and they rapture people. | ||
| And then Roger the Alien. | ||
| That's American Dad. | ||
| I'm sorry, I'm American Dad, right? | ||
| Roger the Alien is like, he's not going to get raptured because he's an alien. | ||
| And so he gets left behind on Earth. | ||
| And then when he meets Jesus, Jesus goes, Oh, one of my dad's side projects. | ||
| That's, you know. | ||
| Or they're just demons, but. | ||
| Or they're just, I think they're demons. | ||
| They're totally demons. | ||
| I think they're demons. | ||
| That's where I'm at with it. | ||
| But I don't know. | ||
| I have no idea what they are. | ||
| I don't even know if there is a thing where they are. | ||
| Hold on, hold on, hold on. | ||
| This is a big psyop. | ||
| Okay, let me ask you, what is a demon? | ||
| A fallen angel. | ||
| A fallen angel. | ||
| Okay, so, and what is an angel? | ||
| An angel is a spiritual being. | ||
| Tell me more. | ||
| So, you know where you're going? | ||
| Are you going with immaterial? | ||
| Yeah, so they don't have physical bodies like us. | ||
| They can appear to us as physical forms. | ||
| And they came before us? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, they exist. | ||
| So there's some kind of entity that came before us, and there are some of them that fell and they're bad and they want to do bad things to us. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Aliens. | ||
| Well, no, because alien implies that it's physical and also occupies physicality. | ||
| No, no. | ||
| No. | ||
| What I'm saying is. | ||
| I guess it is like in the strict sense, extraterrestrial, because it's not of the world. | ||
| And one thing alien, the word, I mean, is not, I don't think of it like the alien in the movie. | ||
| I think of it as more like an energy or a force that's, you know, unknown to us. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| So you don't think they have material bodies? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I just don't feel like we're completely alone in the world. | ||
| I feel very much like there's a spiritual or I mean, for most people, we'll call it a spiritual support system of some sort, but I don't feel alone in the universe. | ||
| I think that if demons are real, it makes sense that they would want to trick us into thinking that they're something else and cause confusion and discord and conspiracy. | ||
| They try to claim that life exists because they found evidence of single-celled organisms, but I just remind all them that's just a clump of cells. | ||
| It's not exactly life doesn't exist. | ||
| It's a clump of cells, not real. | ||
| Life exists on a spectrum. | ||
| I think that nothing is real. | ||
| Oh. | ||
| Everything only came into existence three years ago, and your memories are fake, and the Mandela effect proves it. | ||
| Oh, I think that's a nice. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah, the fruit of the loom cornucopia. | |
| It proves it's all fake. | ||
| Yeah, 100%. | ||
| And Onyx being spelled wrong. | ||
| You guys hear this one? | ||
| No, everyone believes that Onyx, the Pokemon, was spelled O-N-Y-X. | ||
| That's what I thought. | ||
| And so now they're finding out it's spelled O-N-I-X, and they're like, no way. | ||
| Yeah, but every time I use Spell Checker, I found out I thought something was spelled differently that's actually spelled. | ||
| So am I getting Mandela affected a lot? | ||
| This is crazy because I remember Onyx being spelled O-N-I-X because I had Pokemon right when it first came out as a little kid. | ||
| And it's because I thought Onyx, the mineral, the rock, was spelled O-N-I-X because of Pokemon. | ||
| I thought it was always spelled O-N-Y-X. | ||
| Well, they actually heard it, but not the Pokemon. | ||
| Yeah, the Pokemon is spelled O-N-I-X. | ||
| Can I text up my Pokemon X for a friend? | ||
| And so when I was little, I thought the Onyx rock, because I was probably like nine years old, I was like, oh, Onyx the Rock is spelled O-N-I-X. | ||
| And then it's like, no, it's O-N-Y-X. | ||
| And I was like, How do you spell the Pokemon Onyx with an I or with a Y? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's with an I. Have you fallen for a Mandela effect, though? | |
| No. | ||
| They're all fake. | ||
| People are retarded. | ||
| You don't remember the cornucopia? | ||
| No. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| No. | ||
| Why you don't? | ||
| Not even the Nelson Mandela one? | ||
| I was not old enough for the Nelson Mandela one. | ||
| And that one's so easily explained. | ||
| Do you want to easily explain the Nelson Mandela one to you guys? | ||
| You know what it is, right? | ||
| Like some people said they thought he died in a riot. | ||
| He died in prison. | ||
| Died in prison. | ||
| It was a big deal that he died in prison, but then all of a sudden we found out that he was alive. | ||
| How could this possibly be? | ||
| Can you think of any reason why, in what was it, the early 90s, late 80s, or whatever, why large groups of people would believe something about the news that wasn't correct? | ||
| They didn't have the internet. | ||
| Well, that's a very surface way of describing it. | ||
| Could it be that a fake news report went out to millions of people one morning and then they believed it? | ||
| And then later on got the internet and was like, oh. | ||
| I definitely thought that it was Berenstein. | ||
| I did. | ||
| I definitely thought it was Berenstein. | ||
| I thought it was Steen. | ||
| I didn't think one way or the other, to be honest. | ||
| You just didn't remember? | ||
| No, I think if you think it's evidenced in my personality and the kind of content I produce, how I react to news, which is when we have Brian Shapiro on, for instance, he says, he asked me, do you want criminals held accountable? | ||
| I said, yes. | ||
| Then why would you support a man who was convicted of 35 felonies? | ||
| I said, because Trump wasn't actually convicted of 34 felonies. | ||
| Because he wasn't actually. | ||
| I don't care about whether you like or don't like Trump. | ||
| I care about what is and what I can prove is. | ||
| So when I'm confronted with these Mandela effect things, my reaction isn't to go, my brain doesn't go, it is this. | ||
| I go, oh, I wonder what it was. | ||
| And I check, oh, that's what it was. | ||
| I'm just saying that my memory is of it being Berenstein. | ||
| I'm not saying it was. | ||
| I was the only one that remembered it. | ||
| Remember it that way. | ||
| See, this is the thing. | ||
| I didn't think of the Baronstein Bears for decades, and it never entered my mind for 70%. | ||
| You're a fake fan. | ||

|
I thought about it. | |
| And then one day. | ||
| I thought every day. | ||
| So I barely remember it. | ||
| I don't remember a single storybook. | ||
| And then I see a post online that says it's Baron Stain, not Baronstein. | ||
| And I went, okay. | ||
| And then everyone's like, but I swear it was Baron Stein. | ||
| And I'm like, I don't remember. | ||
| I was like five years old. | ||
| And you think they changed it? | ||
| No, I was joking. | ||
| I don't remember the meeting. | ||
| No, they're not. | ||
| Not that it was changed, but that the timeline shifted and we shifted into the timeline where it was Berenstein. | ||
| That proves it. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I'm just saying, I thought about the Berenstein Bears every day. | ||
| And that just, you're not a big enough fan. | ||
| Yeah, you're like, I'm going to tell you all. | ||
| I'm going to name three Baronstein Bears songs. | ||

Okay. | |
| I can't do it anymore. | ||
| He's being paid by Big Stain. | ||
| So the CIA, you know, we have a program where we intentionally go into the archives and change things to screw with people. | ||
| It started off as a joke and it got really serious and we got embarrassed. | ||
| And, you know, so you know what I love doing actually as an aside is there'll be like a comment on a post on Instagram about me or something. | ||
| So there'll be like a post in the news and then someone will mention me and I'll respond with something like, of course I work for the CIA, you moron. | ||
| Do you think that they would let anyone be rich and famous? | ||
| Everybody in this space was chosen and trained and is told what to say. | ||
| And the best part is, I can say this because anyone you tell will never believe it. | ||
| Well, first of all, how often do you look up stuff and it's gone? | ||
| Look up stuff and it's gone? | ||
| Yeah, you saw something and then you go to look, look and it's gone. | ||
| I would say maybe often. | ||
| No, I don't think so. | ||
| So there are a few rare circumstances where I get annoyed because a story becomes hard to find. | ||
| But I do this all day, every day. | ||
| And I think what makes this show work so well is I can instantly recall and pull up a story that I read, find that source and bring it up, and they're always there. | ||
| Now, one of the problems is we did this yesterday, but NPR stealth edited the article. | ||
| So the article we brought up, which was supposed to be State Sue Trump, turned, or it was supposed to be Trump Says No Emergency Funds for Snap, changed into State Sue Trump. | ||
| So the source that I'd pulled up had been altered because they stealth edited. | ||
| The root did that earlier today as well. | ||
| We pulled up the root article and they changed the title, which I then pointed to the URL, which shows you the original title. | ||
| I lived in the timeline where Tim Poole was spelled with an E at the end of pool and you never wore a beanie. | ||
| And the timeline shifted. | ||
| Go back. | ||
| It did. | ||
| I swear I remember that. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| And then I wasn't Asian. | ||
| I was Mexican. | ||
| So they did. | ||
| But see, this is the thing. | ||
| And as Mary Mexican. | ||
| Mary remembers it because when she got hired, I was like, Mary, we need to have a host for the pop culture. | ||
| That's exactly how it happened. | ||
| You got the job to be the host for the pop culture crisis. | ||
| You guys don't remember? | ||
| Was that what they were actually looking for? | ||
| You guys don't remember Tim Cast hosted by Tim Poole with an E? | ||
| Right. | ||

Do you remember that? | |
| Remember? | ||
| The show was very slow. | ||
| Do you remember when it was Freedom Tunes spelled T-U-N-E-S? | ||

|
Yes. | |
| That was, yeah. | ||
| And it was a bunch of liberals. | ||
| I remember what it was spelled with a T-R-O-O-N-S, and it was a bunch of liberals. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| Freedom Troons. | ||
