One More Week = DeProgram With Ted Rall and Jeff Dornik-এর সম্পূর্ণ প্রতিলিপি

but in the Republican Party, there 71 00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:25.000 truly is a civil war going on, and there's more 72 00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:30.579 and more Republicans that are talking about sitting out, not voting, blackpilling, 73 00:04:30.740 --> 00:04:33.629 the whole deal. And so when we're looking at it, 74 00:04:33.699 --> 00:04:36.730 it's like, OK, you know, it could go either way. 75 00:04:36.750 --> 00:04:38.730 It just depends on how fired up Trump can get 76 00:04:38.769 --> 00:04:42.410 his base. Can that offset the black pillars in the 77 00:04:42.449 --> 00:04:45.189 America first wing of the crowd? They're like, well, enough's enough. 78 00:04:45.389 --> 00:04:48.310 You know, war in Israel and all of these different 79 00:04:48.350 --> 00:04:51.339 things that are going on. And so I think that 80 00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:54.600 this one is going to be hard to predict, especially 81 00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:57.579 on a state by state basis. I think overall, I 82 00:04:57.620 --> 00:04:59.660 think I think Democrats are going to take the House, 83 00:05:00.180 --> 00:05:02.310 possibly the Senate. But it's going to be interesting to 84 00:05:02.370 --> 00:05:06.110 see which specific races either flip or change or surprise 85 00:05:06.149 --> 00:05:10.050 us because there is that wildcard factor of, you know, 86 00:05:10.410 --> 00:05:14.009 of Republicans that normally vote and have voted traditionally, you know, 87 00:05:14.089 --> 00:05:16.389 for years and years and years. I'd be like, dude, 88 00:05:16.529 --> 00:05:20.870 enough's enough. I like like Democrats, Republicans are two sides 89 00:05:20.889 --> 00:05:22.230 of the same coin. So what's the point? 90 00:05:23.529 --> 00:05:23.709 Right. 91 00:05:23.769 --> 00:05:27.360 So this is obviously a conundrum that people that all 92 00:05:27.500 --> 00:05:29.560 that all Americans who vote for one of the two 93 00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:31.980 major parties always go through. Right. The two party drop. 94 00:05:32.819 --> 00:05:35.000 You know, as much as I hate my own side 95 00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:37.560 for not coming through for me, I need to send 96 00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:39.500 a message to the other side who I hate even more. 97 00:05:39.579 --> 00:05:42.610 And obviously right now. The biggest problem that Republicans have, 98 00:05:42.649 --> 00:05:44.329 you know, people say it's Donald Trump. I think the 99 00:05:44.350 --> 00:05:46.850 biggest problem that they have is that they're incumbents, right? 100 00:05:47.490 --> 00:05:51.089 And people are, you know, really angry at the incumbency. 101 00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:55.220 By the way, just parenthetically, there's an ad that's been 102 00:05:55.259 --> 00:05:57.879 floating around Michigan, and now it's gone national. I'm sure 103 00:05:57.920 --> 00:06:01.699 you've seen it, where it's a couple shopping for groceries. 104 00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:06.220 And at one point, the woman says, like, oh, no, no, 105 00:06:06.540 --> 00:06:10.649 we can't buy eggs. Put those back. Because remember, we 106 00:06:10.689 --> 00:06:12.870 have to send money to kill Palestinians, is how she 107 00:06:12.910 --> 00:06:16.089 puts it, not to Israel. And then the husband says, like, 108 00:06:16.310 --> 00:06:18.519 wait a minute, don't we already send them $ 4 billion 109 00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:20.660 a year? And she's like, well, no, actually, we have 110 00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:23.860 to just send them another $ 26 billion. That ad is 111 00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:28.920 being characterized by Zionists as anti-Semitic this morning. That's the 112 00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:30.990 talking point all over the internet. I'm sure you've seen it. 113 00:06:31.410 --> 00:06:34.709 And I'm like, OK, let's just say you hate the ad. 114 00:06:34.850 --> 00:06:37.069 And just let's just say that you stipulate that, you know, 115 00:06:37.470 --> 00:06:40.410 aid to Israel is important for whatever reason, but how 116 00:06:40.470 --> 00:06:43.250 is it anti-Semitic? It's like the, you know, it doesn't 117 00:06:43.310 --> 00:06:45.879 say like we're sending money to Jews. It says we're 118 00:06:45.889 --> 00:06:49.040 sending money to the state of Israel. It would be 119 00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:51.680 no different than saying that, you know, if we're sending 120 00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:55.600 money to Somalia, like, Oh, it's an anti-black ad or, 121 00:06:55.779 --> 00:06:58.189 you know, it's like, no, it would just be an, 122 00:06:58.649 --> 00:07:03.310 and maybe an anti-Somali ad that you could say. I mean, it, 123 00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:07.959 It just feels like that talking point has exhausted itself 124 00:07:08.449 --> 00:07:11.029 and that Zionists are out of arrows in their quiver 125 00:07:11.230 --> 00:07:11.730 at this point. 126 00:07:12.350 --> 00:07:14.889 Well, I think they are. I think the problem is 127 00:07:14.930 --> 00:07:17.430 that they are holding on with everything they can to 128 00:07:17.490 --> 00:07:19.500 whatever power they can hold on to for as long 129 00:07:19.540 --> 00:07:24.579 as they can. I think they also know that it's 130 00:07:24.620 --> 00:07:29.459 largely a generational thing as well, especially when polling numbers. And, 131 00:07:29.899 --> 00:07:31.759 you know, like I think the perfect example is that 132 00:07:31.810 --> 00:07:34.329 was that primary race of Thomas Massey versus Ed Galerain, 133 00:07:34.370 --> 00:07:36.870 where the older you were, the more likely you were 134 00:07:36.910 --> 00:07:39.250 to vote for MAGA and the Zionists. And the younger 135 00:07:39.269 --> 00:07:41.350 you were, the more likely you were to vote for 136 00:07:41.529 --> 00:07:44.629 for Massey and his wing of the Republican Party and 137 00:07:45.250 --> 00:07:47.519 vote against Israel. And and I think that what's happening 138 00:07:47.540 --> 00:07:49.600 is you have the older generation of the Republican Party 139 00:07:50.000 -->

00:07:52.680 that's holding on to whatever the power they can for 140 00:07:52.819 --> 00:07:55.930 way too long. And I think they think to a 141 00:07:55.949 --> 00:07:57.790 certain degree that as long as we can just discredit 142 00:07:57.829 --> 00:08:00.740 these guys as a bunch of racist and anti-Semitic people, 143 00:08:01.149 --> 00:08:02.819 then this younger crowd, they're never going to take over. 144 00:08:02.839 --> 00:08:04.839 It's like you do realize how life works. Like at 145 00:08:04.860 --> 00:08:08.819 a certain point, you die. And then other people fill 146 00:08:08.860 --> 00:08:12.339 in the gap. And it's this revolving door kind of 147 00:08:12.379 --> 00:08:17.610 a thing. And it's very weird how the Zionist crowd 148 00:08:17.689 --> 00:08:20.230 doesn't understand that. And again, I'm one of those guys 149 00:08:20.250 --> 00:08:23.759 that I've been a lifelong Zionist myself. I've recently kind 150 00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:25.560 of walked away from that. I don't, I don't go 151 00:08:25.720 --> 00:08:28.699 full on to the other side, which is completely anti 152 00:08:28.750 --> 00:08:31.230 is like, to me, I'm just like, can we focus 153 00:08:31.250 --> 00:08:33.190 on America right now? Like that would be, that would 154 00:08:33.210 --> 00:08:35.149 be nice. I mean, we've got like, like it should, 155 00:08:35.230 --> 00:08:38.429 it shouldn't cost me, you know, $ 10 for a dozen eggs. 156 00:08:38.769 --> 00:08:40.490 It shouldn't like, I just, I just filled up my 157 00:08:40.529 --> 00:08:42.220 car the other day at, you know, I think, I 158 00:08:42.250 --> 00:08:45.500 think I paid like $ 7 and 49 cents in gas 159 00:08:45.539 --> 00:08:48.580 out here in California. It's bonkers. I'm like, I'm like, 160 00:08:49.190 --> 00:08:52.289 At a certain point, can we focus on these things, 161 00:08:52.330 --> 00:08:55.750 these things that you promised us in the 2024 election? 162 00:08:56.070 --> 00:08:59.149 Can we do that instead of fight this war on 163 00:08:59.190 --> 00:09:03.169 behalf of Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu and all that kind 164 00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:04.669 of stuff? And I think to bring it back to 165 00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:08.080 this ad, I think it's a phenomenal ad because it 166 00:09:08.139 --> 00:09:13.279 really hits home on the issue of, okay, who are 167 00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:16.129 we focused on? And the thing that I've that I've 168 00:09:16.149 --> 00:09:18.649 been warning Republicans for a long time and nobody listens 169 00:09:18.690 --> 00:09:21.120 to me because I'm just the crazy guy over here that, 170 00:09:21.159 --> 00:09:24.240 you know, you know, anti-Trump, whatever it is. But but 171 00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:26.700 like literally you're just like you go down, you go 172 00:09:26.740 --> 00:09:28.820 down the talking points, you look at the website of 173 00:09:29.139 --> 00:09:32.710 these Democrat candidates and and what they're doing is they're 174 00:09:32.750 --> 00:09:36.220 hitting home on the pain points that Americans feel. Now, 175 00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:40.100 me as a constitutional Christian conservative, I disagree with a 176 00:09:40.139 --> 00:09:42.460 lot of the conclusions and I disagree with the direction 177 00:09:42.620 --> 00:09:45.639 and the way that they want to fix it from 178 00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:49.100 these Democrats. But at the same time, I don't think 179 00:09:49.139 --> 00:09:52.009 that the American people, the everyday person that doesn't pay 180 00:09:52.049 --> 00:09:55.769 attention to day-to-day politics, really is looking at, okay, what 181 00:09:55.850 --> 00:09:58.429 is the solution that you're offering? What they're looking at is, 182 00:09:58.830 --> 00:10:01.559 do you feel my pain? Do you understand what the 183 00:10:01.659 --> 00:10:04.279 problem is? Oh, you're putting forth a solution? Great. Well, 184 00:10:04.299 --> 00:10:07.080 what's going on right now? Clearly isn't working. Let's try 185 00:10:07.139 --> 00:10:10.360 this guy over here. I think that for the day-to-day 186 00:10:10.419 --> 00:10:13.730 people that aren't looking at day-to-day politics and all that, 187 00:10:13.750 --> 00:10:15.730 but they're just trying to get through life, they're looking 188 00:10:15.809 --> 00:10:18.850 at who actually feels my pain or who actually says 189 00:10:18.870 --> 00:10:21.389 that they feel my pain. And that's going to impact 190 00:10:21.429 --> 00:10:23.700 whether they turn out to vote or not and all that. 191 00:10:23.720 --> 00:10:26.399 And I think that's where this midterm is going to 192 00:10:26.419 --> 00:10:27.039 be a wild card. 193 00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:29.730 I mean, I'm really glad that you brought that up. 194 00:10:29.799 --> 00:10:33.259 I mean, you know, Bill Clinton, of course, popularized the, 195 00:10:33.340 --> 00:10:37.649 you know, I feel your pain. And it was effective, obviously. 196 00:10:38.250 --> 00:10:41.100 people believed it. I was on the floor of the 197 00:10:41.129 --> 00:10:43.940 convention hall in 1992 when he gave that speech, and 198 00:10:43.980 --> 00:10:47.500 people all around me were crying. I mean, it was effective. 199 00:10:50.019 --> 00:10:54.279 I don't think that anyone feels that Barack Obama felt 200 00:10:54.440 --> 00:11:00.090 much of anything. Maureen Dowd famously called him Spock. And 201 00:11:00.110 --> 00:11:04.389 in 2016, But Trump definitely gave you, and I've said 202 00:11:04.429 --> 00:11:07.129 this before and I'll say it again, the Trump's gift 203 00:11:07.190 --> 00:11:09.429 and the reason that he won with millions of dollars 204 00:11:09.470 --> 00:11:12.129 running against a campaign with billions of dollars was because 205 00:11:12.149 --> 00:11:13.549 he was able to look out the window of his 206 00:11:13.629 --> 00:11:16.820 car driving through my hometown of Dayton, Ohio, where he, 207 00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:19.820 I think, went more than anywhere else in that cycle. 208

00:11:20.419 --> 00:11:22.059 And he was able to think, you know, look at 209 00:11:22.100 --> 00:11:25.779 those boarded houses and the closed down factories and and 210 00:11:26.570 --> 00:11:29.509 the opioid crisis and think, man, it would suck to 211 00:11:29.549 --> 00:11:31.590 live here. I wouldn't want to live here. And then 212 00:11:31.769 --> 00:11:34.129 go to a rally and say, man, it sucks to 213 00:11:34.169 --> 00:11:36.860 live here, right? And then people are like, yeah. And 214 00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:40.899 it's the first time that people felt seen by a 215 00:11:40.980 --> 00:11:46.620 politician from any party for years. That was Trump's gift. 216 00:11:46.980 --> 00:11:50.809 I don't want to ever say anything about him as 217 00:11:50.850 --> 00:11:52.549 a bad politician. I think He's one of the most 218 00:11:52.610 --> 00:11:56.100 gifted politicians of our time. And he's revolutionized campaigning in 219 00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:59.139 a way that, you know, analysts have not yet, you know, 220 00:11:59.159 --> 00:12:02.320 they're still using stump speeches. Like, no, no, Donald Trump 221 00:12:02.360 --> 00:12:06.110 killed the stump speech. That's done. And he's proven it. 222 00:12:06.590 --> 00:12:10.830 But now, is it the DC bubble? Is it the, 223 00:12:10.950 --> 00:12:14.169 I mean, in his second term, he has, I mean, 224 00:12:14.210 --> 00:12:17.759 he's basically telling people, I crap on your pain. Like, Oh, 225 00:12:17.799 --> 00:12:20.049 a small price to pay, he said over the weekend. 226 00:12:20.370 --> 00:12:23.049 You know, a little more in gas and groceries in 227 00:12:23.070 --> 00:12:25.330 order to make sure that Iran doesn't get nuclear weapons. 228 00:12:25.690 --> 00:12:28.049 You told us that you'd already made sure that Iran 229 00:12:28.090 --> 00:12:30.750 couldn't get nuclear weapons. You already told us that it 230 00:12:30.789 --> 00:12:33.970 was all nuclear dust, whatever that means. So, I mean, 231 00:12:34.490 --> 00:12:37.230 we don't really, the fear mongering doesn't work. We don't 232 00:12:37.269 --> 00:12:41.000 believe you. And so it's like, so you're basically telling 233 00:12:41.049 --> 00:12:44.820 us you don't care, you know, in terms of our pain. 234 00:12:48.100 --> 00:12:52.330 There's literally nothing more politically suicidal than that, as Joe 235 00:12:52.350 --> 00:12:54.970 Biden learned, too. He didn't he was like, well, you know, 236 00:12:55.009 --> 00:12:58.730 I don't the economy is better than you idiots think. Like, no, 237 00:12:58.750 --> 00:13:01.029 we'll tell you how the economy is. Yeah. 238 00:13:01.500 --> 00:13:04.000 Well, now the thing the thing that I've been I've 239 00:13:04.019 --> 00:13:07.620 been told that I actually had Tom Renz, who who has. 240 00:13:08.610 --> 00:13:13.029 he's actually friends with Bobby Kennedy and has a lot 241 00:13:13.049 --> 00:13:14.580 of connections with the White House and all that kind 242 00:13:14.600 --> 00:13:16.299 of stuff. And he was on my show last week 243 00:13:16.500 --> 00:13:19.960 and he said that basically Susie Wiles and the Trump 244 00:13:19.980 --> 00:13:25.179 administration has taken away Trump's access to social media. So 245 00:13:25.259 --> 00:13:27.659 he doesn't, he can't actually get on to X like 246 00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:29.590 he used to in his first term to see what 247 00:13:29.779 --> 00:13:32.750 people are actually saying. So they've actually become his gatekeepers. 248 00:13:32.889 --> 00:13:35.090 And I know this for a fact because even going 249 00:13:35.129 --> 00:13:37.549 back to when Trump was campaigning, I was trying to 250 00:13:37.590 --> 00:13:41.940 get Kennedy to team up with Trump. And I went 251 00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:44.500 through Steve Bannon to get to the White House. And 252 00:13:44.820 --> 00:13:48.669 even Steve Bannon, right, who was close with Trump and 253 00:13:48.850 --> 00:13:51.210 ran his campaign and all that, he couldn't even get 254 00:13:51.250 --> 00:13:53.370 direct access to Donald Trump. And he had to go 255 00:13:53.389 --> 00:13:58.029 through somebody else who then squashed it when I tried 256 00:13:58.049 --> 00:14:00.809 to make this connection and then immediately came out and 257 00:14:00.909 --> 00:14:03.470 bashed RFK Jr. and said he's more progressive than even 258 00:14:03.509 --> 00:14:06.009 Joe Biden and the most progressive people out there. And 259 00:14:06.169 --> 00:14:08.870 you're just like, OK, so this is they clearly he's 260 00:14:08.909 --> 00:14:12.629 got gatekeepers. They're keeping them insulated because they know that 261 00:14:13.049 --> 00:14:15.330 if if they let them loose and actually connect with 262 00:14:15.350 --> 00:14:17.710 the people, then guess what's going to happen is he's 263 00:14:17.730 --> 00:14:20.730 going to realize, oh, crap, I'm like screwing all these guys. 264 00:14:20.769 --> 00:14:22.230 And so I think to a certain degree, he's in 265 00:14:22.269 --> 00:14:25.490 his own little bubble. I think I think that he's 266 00:14:25.570 --> 00:14:30.340 only being given the approved messages from people. And and 267 00:14:30.419 --> 00:14:32.799 so I think to a certain degree, he he's alienated. 268 00:14:32.830 --> 00:14:35.769 And that's not an excuse on his behalf because he 269 00:14:35.809 --> 00:14:37.529 allowed it to happen. He didn't have to say, yeah, 270 00:14:37.549 --> 00:14:39.929 you know what? I should probably allow you to take 271 00:14:40.409 --> 00:14:43.450 X X and true social directly off my phone. He 272 00:14:43.490 --> 00:14:46.460 could have said, yeah, what? No, I want to hear 273 00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:50.120 from the people. But instead, he's allowing somebody and I 274 00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:52.360 would say Susie Wiles, if not a few other people. 275 00:14:52.750 --> 00:14:55.679 to actually control that message. I also thought it was fascinating. 276 00:14:55.720 --> 00:14:59.279 Did you see

Trump's second endorsement of Benjamin Netanyahu on 277 00:14:59.539 --> 00:15:00.100 Truth Social? 278 00:15:00.679 --> 00:15:01.009 I did. 279 00:15:01.019 --> 00:15:03.440 I was reading through it, and number one, it was 280 00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:06.279 so flipping long that I was reading it the other night, 281 00:15:06.580 --> 00:15:08.600 and my wife looks over my shoulder, and she's like, 282 00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:11.379 what is that? The print is so small, because it 283 00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:13.470 was like a screenshot. And I'm like, she's like, that's 284 00:15:13.500 --> 00:15:17.389 a lot for like one single post. Because he basically 285 00:15:17.490 --> 00:15:19.879 admitted in there, and I don't even think he realized it, 286 00:15:20.309 --> 00:15:23.570 but he admitted in there, that they lied to us 287 00:15:23.610 --> 00:15:26.289 to get into the Iranian war. So in there, like 288 00:15:26.330 --> 00:15:29.029 he literally said, we attacked Iran the first time, we 289 00:15:29.090 --> 00:15:31.370 obliterated their nuclear program, we made it to where they 290 00:15:31.389 --> 00:15:34.470 can't achieve nuclear weapons, and then now we're destroying their 291 00:15:34.509 --> 00:15:36.870 navy and their military and controlling all these things. And 292 00:15:36.889 --> 00:15:39.190 I'm like, but you told us the whole reason why 293 00:15:39.230 --> 00:15:41.169 we're at war right now is because they were two 294 00:15:41.210 --> 00:15:44.970 weeks away, again, from nuclear weapons. So you just admitted 295 00:15:45.289 --> 00:15:49.250 that we're now stuck in this stupid Iranian war over 296 00:15:49.309 --> 00:15:52.490 a lie. And that's basically, that was my takeaway from 297 00:15:52.529 --> 00:15:54.669 his Benjamin Netanyahu second endorsement there. 298 00:15:55.820 --> 00:15:59.259 Yeah, it also, I agree with that. And I also 299 00:15:59.399 --> 00:16:02.299 thought it was so long winded that it almost reminded 300 00:16:02.340 --> 00:16:06.440 me of an ISIS hostage video. Like, you know, like, no, really, really, truly, 301 00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:10.779 you know, I'm being well treated by Benjamin Netanyahu. He's awesome. 302 00:16:10.820 --> 00:16:16.830 I love him so much. Yeah, I mean, I mean, yeah, 303 00:16:16.899 --> 00:16:19.909 I guess the thing is, if things are exactly that 304 00:16:19.990 --> 00:16:23.350 way and he's being, you know, gatekept by, you know, 305 00:16:23.389 --> 00:16:26.690 Susie Wiles or whoever else, that's on him, right? I mean, 306 00:16:26.769 --> 00:16:31.090 and in terms of for us as voters, we can't think, 307 00:16:31.129 --> 00:16:33.629 you know, I mean, I remember reading histories of World 308 00:16:33.669 --> 00:16:37.610 War II where soldiers, German soldiers serving on the Eastern 309 00:16:37.669 --> 00:16:42.149 Front with inadequate, you know, winter gear were saying, ah, 310 00:16:42.250 --> 00:16:45.870 if the Fuhrer knew about this, he'd be really pissed. And, like, 311 00:16:45.909 --> 00:16:47.929 you know, we can't get into that mode, like, of 312 00:16:47.990 --> 00:16:50.009 sort of thinking, well, if Trump really knew what was 313 00:16:50.049 --> 00:16:53.029 going on, then, you know, he would fix it. Maybe, 314 00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:55.139 but that's sort of, that's not going to put any, 315 00:16:55.320 --> 00:16:58.840 you know, make eggs more affordable or make gas not 316 00:16:58.840 --> 00:17:01.740 $ 7 a gallon. So, I mean, so, all right, so 317 00:17:01.779 --> 00:17:03.980 let's get back to the midterms. I mean, it seems 318 00:17:04.019 --> 00:17:07.099 like this is an enthusiasm gap. It's like a flip 319 00:17:07.140 --> 00:17:12.089 side of 2016 in a way, because... In 2016, you 320 00:17:12.130 --> 00:17:14.609 had people like me who had supported Bernie Sanders in 321 00:17:14.630 --> 00:17:18.890 the primaries and then were very unhappy with not only 322 00:17:18.930 --> 00:17:21.430 the fact that Hillary Clinton was the nominee, but also 323 00:17:21.490 --> 00:17:24.410 with the way that she had treated Bernie Sanders and 324 00:17:24.430 --> 00:17:26.799 the progressive wing of the party. And basically, we don't 325 00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:30.000 need you. Go to hell. Drop dead. And we're not 326 00:17:30.019 --> 00:17:32.099 going to listen to you at all. And then, by 327 00:17:32.119 --> 00:17:34.059 the way, get really mad at us when we don't 328 00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:37.250 vote for her. But between $ 3 and $ 5 million... By 329 00:17:37.289 --> 00:17:40.380 some counts, Bernie voters did not show up in the 330 00:17:40.430 --> 00:17:44.039 general election for the Democrats, and that was a key 331 00:17:44.099 --> 00:17:50.680 contributing factor to Trump's victory. I don't think Republicans are 332 00:17:50.700 --> 00:17:54.420 going to flip and vote Democratic, but are Republican voters 333 00:17:54.819 --> 00:17:57.799 going to sit on their hands this week? Are they 334 00:17:57.819 --> 00:18:00.819 going to just sort of maybe think they have other 335 00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:03.599 things to do than vote, just because they're just not 336 00:18:03.619 --> 00:18:05.079 that excited about either side? 337 00:18:05.880 --> 00:18:09.759 Yeah, well, the more that I talk to people in 338 00:18:09.920 --> 00:18:13.140 kind of the America First wing, which I find myself 339 00:18:13.220 --> 00:18:16.420 more in alignment, obviously, than the MAGA wing of the 340 00:18:16.460 --> 00:18:19.109 Republican Party, even though I feel like I'm kind of 341 00:18:19.150 --> 00:18:20.990 in the middle of everybody where I don't agree with 342 00:18:21.029 --> 00:18:23.029 anybody and I agree with everybody simultaneously, which is a 343 00:18:23.029 --> 00:18:25.630 very weird position to be in. But the more that 344 00:18:25.650 --> 00:18:28.509 I'm talking to people, it seems as if what they're 345 00:18:28.529 --> 00:18:31.589 going to be doing is most people that I've talked 346

00:18:31.630 --> 00:18:34.430 to are going to vote in the midterms, but they're not, 347 00:18:34.650 --> 00:18:37.369 they're not voting in the national election, they're going to 348 00:18:37.390 --> 00:18:39.910 vote on the state basis, because that's where they actually, 349 00:18:39.970 --> 00:18:41.849 you know, care about that's where they feel like that 350 00:18:41.869 --> 00:18:44.069 they can actually affect change. And so I think I 351 00:18:44.130 --> 00:18:48.109 think that we're, we're going to see an increased number of, of, 352 00:18:48.369 --> 00:18:51.450 you know, Republicans specifically that are that are voting, but 353 00:18:51.470 --> 00:18:55.400 they're just refusing to vote for the National Republican Party, 354 00:18:55.420 --> 00:18:58.460 and they're voting on the for their local elections. And 355 00:18:58.500 --> 00:19:00.500 then you're just gonna have people that just they're just 356 00:19:00.700 --> 00:19:03.200 not They're not even motivated to take the time off 357 00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:05.000 of work or the time to get down to the 358 00:19:05.059 --> 00:19:07.279 polling or to write it out and mail it in. 359 00:19:07.299 --> 00:19:10.119 And it just because I think I think they feel 360 00:19:10.140 --> 00:19:13.980 they feel betrayed because and I think rightly so. And 361 00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:16.970 this this is the thing that like for me as 362 00:19:17.009 --> 00:19:21.170 a lifelong Republican, I've been I've been trying to raise 363 00:19:21.230 --> 00:19:22.589 and I get I get a lot of crap from 364 00:19:22.630 --> 00:19:26.049 a lot of the Republican leaders because of this. But 365 00:19:26.190 --> 00:19:29.109 but I'm like, you know, you have to address these issues. 366 00:19:29.589 --> 00:19:31.960 And this is this is the problem. You promised us 367 00:19:32.420 --> 00:19:36.150 no regime change wars, no forever wars. We're going to 368 00:19:36.190 --> 00:19:39.009 get out of the foreign interventionism. That was a huge 369 00:19:39.089 --> 00:19:41.789 part of the campaign that brought in the former Democrats 370 00:19:41.809 --> 00:19:44.710 like RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard and all that kind 371 00:19:44.730 --> 00:19:47.950 of stuff and brought in that part of the big 372 00:19:48.009 --> 00:19:51.599 tent you know, GOP in 2024. That was the promise. 373 00:19:51.640 --> 00:19:53.400 And then what do you do? You go in and 374 00:19:53.460 --> 00:19:57.420 you basically do a regime change overnight in Venezuela. And 375 00:19:57.440 --> 00:19:59.299 then you go into Iran thinking you could do the 376 00:19:59.339 --> 00:20:01.480 same thing you did in Venezuela in Iran, which is 377 00:20:01.500 --> 00:20:03.579 the dumbest thing you'll possibly think of. And then they 378 00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:05.819 were floating the idea of doing this in Cuba. And 379 00:20:05.839 --> 00:20:08.009 they're still talking about doing this in Cuba now. And 380 00:20:08.049 --> 00:20:10.730 you're just like, this is not what you promised us. 381 00:20:10.789 --> 00:20:12.690 And then, you know, we were led to believe that 382 00:20:12.759 --> 00:20:14.660 Kennedy was going to get in there and, and, uh, 383 00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:17.339 pull the, uh, you know, pull the mRNA shots. That 384 00:20:17.380 --> 00:20:20.259 clearly hasn't happened. Uh, I'm, I'm told that, uh, that 385 00:20:20.339 --> 00:20:22.859 he was basically given a sandbox and you, you can 386 00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:24.539 do whatever you want in this little sandbox, but you 387 00:20:24.579 --> 00:20:26.720 can't touch our mRNA. You can't touch this. You can't 388 00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:29.640 touch that. You can't touch that. And, uh, so he basically. 389 00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:31.509 Has big food is still running rampant, right? 390 00:20:31.529 --> 00:20:31.849 Exactly. 391 00:20:31.890 --> 00:20:34.450 Big food, big ag, I mean, they're putting pesticides in, 392 00:20:34.569 --> 00:20:37.589 in the foods. They're approving all of these toxic things. 393 00:20:37.650 --> 00:20:40.279 And I'm like, Kennedy, come on, get with the program. 394 00:20:40.640 --> 00:20:44.109 And then you've got, you know, Cash Patel and Bongino 395 00:20:44.230 --> 00:20:47.089 and the FBI and the DOJ that they've clearly not 396 00:20:47.130 --> 00:20:49.829 drained the swamp like Cash Patel promised me he would 397 00:20:50.130 --> 00:20:52.950 when he was on my show before he became FBI director. 398 00:20:53.609 --> 00:20:58.339 You know, they gaslight us repeatedly on Epstein, on even 399 00:20:58.359 --> 00:21:01.319 the JFK files. And then, you know, now with this 400 00:21:01.660 --> 00:21:04.480 Brian Cole Jr. case that's going on, like that one, 401 00:21:04.539 --> 00:21:08.109 like makes me more livid than anything about seeing them 402 00:21:08.170 --> 00:21:11.890 arrest this autistic black kid in order to cover up 403 00:21:11.930 --> 00:21:15.210 the Capitol Police officer who's the one who actually planted 404 00:21:15.230 --> 00:21:17.869 the bombs, who, oh yeah, now works for the CIA. 405 00:21:18.069 --> 00:21:18.490 Shocker. 406 00:21:18.839 --> 00:21:22.039 And we're just sitting there and we're just like, guys, 407 00:21:23.039 --> 00:21:26.099 if you would just stop gaslighting us and acting as 408 00:21:26.140 --> 00:21:29.140 if you didn't make all these promises, then I think 409 00:21:29.259 --> 00:21:30.859 people could be like, yeah, you want things have changed 410 00:21:30.900 --> 00:21:32.180 and whatever it is, but you can't do a 180 411 00:21:32.180 --> 00:21:35.880 and And then pretend like you never made the promise 412 00:21:35.960 --> 00:21:38.500 and then be shocked that people are like, dude, what's 413 00:21:38.539 --> 00:21:41.799 going on? You promised us this and now you're doing that. 414 00:21:41.940 --> 00:21:44.420 And I think that that's where the Republicans have gotten 415 00:21:44.440 --> 00:21:47.440 themselves in trouble and they got their

hand caught in 416 00:21:47.460 --> 00:21:47.920 the cookie jar. 417 00:21:49.410 --> 00:21:51.730 Yeah, no, I mean, yeah, I was also wanting to 418 00:21:51.750 --> 00:21:54.329 get your take. This is maybe more on from my 419 00:21:54.369 --> 00:21:56.549 side of the aisle, but there's sort of a phenomenon 420 00:21:56.569 --> 00:21:59.529 that we don't talk about a lot in political analysis about, 421 00:21:59.650 --> 00:22:03.009 you know, sort of the consent of the loser, right? So, 422 00:22:03.049 --> 00:22:08.460 for example, in 1988, George H.W. Bush wins. You know, 423 00:22:08.490 --> 00:22:11.859 I voted for Dukakis, but actually, that's a lie. I 424 00:22:11.859 --> 00:22:14.539 probably voted for Jesse Jackson that year. But the point 425 00:22:14.599 --> 00:22:18.420 is that, you know, I wasn't really sad because George H.W. 426 00:22:18.440 --> 00:22:21.480 Bush won because I thought fundamentally he's not that bad. 427 00:22:21.539 --> 00:22:24.240 He's not that he's a pretty reasonable guy. I mean, 428 00:22:24.259 --> 00:22:27.220 I don't think he's a fucking maniac. And then like so. 429 00:22:27.359 --> 00:22:30.440 And so I think, you know, you bring us back 430 00:22:30.460 --> 00:22:33.029 to twenty twenty four. when Trump was running again, I 431 00:22:33.049 --> 00:22:36.049 think a lot of Democrats, you'll note, they didn't freak out. 432 00:22:36.109 --> 00:22:39.769 There was no giant anti-Trump protests when he was inaugurated 433 00:22:40.150 --> 00:22:43.019 the second time. And I don't think that was just exhaustion. 434 00:22:43.059 --> 00:22:45.480 I think people were like, you know what? You know, 435 00:22:45.740 --> 00:22:49.240 he might end these wars. He might end the Gaza genocide. 436 00:22:49.920 --> 00:22:53.440 You know, that wouldn't be entirely bad. I had Democratic 437 00:22:53.509 --> 00:22:55.829 friends and liberal friends who said, you know, I like 438 00:22:55.849 --> 00:22:58.329 the Tulsi Gabbard thing. I like the RFK Jr. thing. 439 00:22:58.690 --> 00:23:04.130 So those people also, I think, are feeling really betrayed, right? 440 00:23:04.190 --> 00:23:08.609 So there's kind of like now there's a counter-coalition, an anti, 441 00:23:09.009 --> 00:23:11.289 you know, like, I want to send a message. I mean, granted, 442 00:23:11.309 --> 00:23:14.009 these people are all going to be terribly disappointed after 443 00:23:14.049 --> 00:23:16.410 the Democrats win and sell them out the way that 444 00:23:16.529 --> 00:23:20.109 both parties always sell us out, right? That's just an 445 00:23:20.269 --> 00:23:26.339 endless cycle, which we should talk about. But, you know... Yeah, so, 446 00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:29.400 I mean, I think that Trump's idea the first time 447 00:23:29.460 --> 00:23:32.450 around was, let's make things so vague that we'll be 448 00:23:32.470 --> 00:23:34.750 able to say that it means anything. Like, make America 449 00:23:34.789 --> 00:23:39.650 great again. Well, you know, what period are we talking about? How? What? 450 00:23:39.750 --> 00:23:44.059 You know, what's the focus? America first somehow doesn't seem 451 00:23:44.339 --> 00:23:47.880 as vague as make America great again. America first is like, 452 00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:50.440 you know, I'm not sure what America first is, but 453 00:23:50.460 --> 00:23:53.500 I know it doesn't mean H-1B visas. I know that. 454 00:23:54.130 --> 00:23:57.630 And I know it doesn't mean no job retraining for Americans. 455 00:23:57.670 --> 00:24:01.630 And I know it doesn't mean sending money overseas when 456 00:24:01.690 --> 00:24:04.990 people are hurting here at home. I know that, right? 457 00:24:05.329 --> 00:24:07.390 I think, in a way, he boxed himself in a 458 00:24:07.410 --> 00:24:12.740 little bit with specificity, which was to be expected also being, 459 00:24:12.759 --> 00:24:16.559 you know, it's also a different deal when I think, 460 00:24:16.720 --> 00:24:22.019 you know, remember Anthony Weiner. The New York voters forgave 461 00:24:22.099 --> 00:24:24.930 Anthony Weiner the first time he screwed up. And they 462 00:24:24.950 --> 00:24:27.329 were like, okay, we'll let it go. You can stay 463 00:24:27.369 --> 00:24:30.690 in office. It's fine. And then he did it again. 464 00:24:30.710 --> 00:24:34.059 And New Yorkers were like, we gave you, we gave 465 00:24:34.119 --> 00:24:38.160 you a pass. It's not happening twice. I feel like 466 00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:43.319 the bargain that the American electorate gave Donald Trump in 467 00:24:43.319 --> 00:24:47.519 2024 was like, listen, we've forgiven January 6th. We are 468 00:24:47.539 --> 00:24:50.960 going to overlook all the litigation, some of which makes 469 00:24:51.000 --> 00:24:55.150 you look terrible. We're going to overlook some of the rhetoric, 470 00:24:55.390 --> 00:24:58.289 we're going to overlook everything. We know, we know you. 471 00:24:58.349 --> 00:25:01.940 It's like your ex-wife taking you back after you've gone 472 00:25:01.980 --> 00:25:04.619 through the ugly divorce and you've both cheated on each other. 473 00:25:04.960 --> 00:25:08.099 It's okay. We're getting back together now. We're remarrying, right? 474 00:25:08.119 --> 00:25:11.329 It's like Liz Taylor and Richard Burton. We know each other. 475 00:25:11.809 --> 00:25:14.500 And it's like, OK, so now the American people, I think, 476 00:25:14.559 --> 00:25:17.900 are feeling double betrayed because it's like we took you 477 00:25:17.980 --> 00:25:22.079 back despite everything and you were highly problematic. We would 478 00:25:22.119 --> 00:25:24.740 have never taken anyone else back. And now look at 479 00:25:24.759 --> 00:25:25.220 what you did. 480 00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:28.559 Yeah, no, it's a it's a very good it's a 481 00:25:28.579 --> 00:25:32.029 very good point. And I think that I think Trump's 482 00:25:32.089 --> 00:25:36.690 interpretation of it and probably also the people around him 483 00:25:36.730 -->

00:25:40.710 and the diehard MAGA, you know, people. is that America's 484 00:25:40.750 --> 00:25:43.190 MAGA now, right? The Republican Party is MAGA now, and 485 00:25:43.829 --> 00:25:45.710 he won because of the MAGA vote. And you're like, no, 486 00:25:45.750 --> 00:25:49.410 he won because he had all these different individual constituencies 487 00:25:49.450 --> 00:25:53.690 that he catered to during the run. And then he 488 00:25:53.710 --> 00:25:56.230 made all these different kinds of promises that he didn't keep. 489 00:25:56.269 --> 00:25:59.809 So basically, it was kind of a fraudulent campaign when 490 00:25:59.829 --> 00:26:01.829 you think about it, because they campaigned on things that 491 00:26:02.210 --> 00:26:04.190 within a year, he was already doing a complete 180 on. 492 00:26:04.269 --> 00:26:07.750 And I think that the difference too is that in 493 00:26:07.789 --> 00:26:14.190 Trump 1.0, There was– obviously because we lost the midterms 494 00:26:14.269 --> 00:26:18.430 in that one, which again, most of the time, the incumbency, 495 00:26:18.450 --> 00:26:20.750 they lose the midterms. They lose at least one or 496 00:26:20.789 --> 00:26:23.789 both of the chambers of Congress, and that's just, in 497 00:26:23.829 --> 00:26:27.630 my opinion, to be expected, right? But at that point, 498 00:26:28.009 --> 00:26:31.019 there was some discontention amongst the Republicans where it was 499 00:26:31.099 --> 00:26:33.819 like he hasn't done this, he hasn't done that. But 500 00:26:33.859 --> 00:26:37.259 that was just something where he hasn't accomplished, again, those 501 00:26:37.299 --> 00:26:40.430 vague promises that he had made yet. This is different 502 00:26:40.509 --> 00:26:43.170 in that he's done a complete 180. And I think 503 00:26:43.190 --> 00:26:44.730 that this is where, you know, like a lot of 504 00:26:44.769 --> 00:26:47.089 people in, you know, and you had mentioned earlier about, 505 00:26:47.869 --> 00:26:49.849 you know, some of the things he was saying about, like, 506 00:26:50.009 --> 00:26:52.890 if if if Democrats win, no more Christmas and no 507 00:26:52.910 --> 00:26:54.470 more of this. And he's, you know what? And I'm 508 00:26:54.490 --> 00:26:56.680 just sitting there and I'm like, OK, when you actually 509 00:26:56.720 --> 00:26:58.480 sit down and you think logically and maybe correct me 510 00:26:58.500 --> 00:27:00.319 if I'm wrong, because, Ted, you probably know this better 511 00:27:00.359 --> 00:27:00.700 than I do. 512 00:27:00.759 --> 00:27:00.920 Right. 513 00:27:01.400 --> 00:27:04.740 But OK, so if the Republicans lose, let's say let's 514 00:27:04.779 --> 00:27:07.740 say they lose one or both chambers of Congress, let's 515 00:27:07.759 --> 00:27:10.910 say let's let's say for sure we lose. the House 516 00:27:10.930 --> 00:27:14.309 of Representatives, let's say hypothetically, you know, Republicans hold on 517 00:27:14.369 --> 00:27:20.190 to the Senate. Okay, Democrats win

Congress. What actually happens? 518 00:27:20.529 --> 00:27:23.920 Because last I checked, you got to have legislation go 519 00:27:23.940 --> 00:27:26.059 through both chambers of Congress. You have to have the 520 00:27:26.099 --> 00:27:28.400 president sign into law. If he doesn't sign into law, 521 00:27:28.420 --> 00:27:30.220 it goes back and then they have to override it with, 522 00:27:30.259 --> 00:27:32.119 I think it's like two thirds vote and all. Like 523 00:27:32.200 --> 00:27:34.759 when you actually sit down and think about it, nothing's 524 00:27:34.779 --> 00:27:39.630 going to happen. So now 2028 is an entirely different conversation. 525 00:27:40.039 --> 00:27:43.369 Like that's a conversation about like, okay, now if you're 526 00:27:43.380 --> 00:27:45.150 going to run with the rhetoric of like Democrats are 527 00:27:45.170 --> 00:27:49.009 going to take away Christmas and implement Sharia law, that 528 00:27:49.049 --> 00:27:52.069 would be the theoretical scenario where they would do that. 529 00:27:52.549 --> 00:27:54.750 Not in the midterm because you still hold on to 530 00:27:54.769 --> 00:27:56.769 the White House. Let's say that they impeach Trump, kick 531 00:27:56.809 --> 00:27:58.349 him out, whatever it is. Well, guess what? You got J.D. 532 00:27:58.369 --> 00:28:00.910 Vance next. You kick out J.D. Vance. What happens? You 533 00:28:00.930 --> 00:28:02.819 have another Republican that's going to fill the plate. Like 534 00:28:03.190 --> 00:28:06.099 you're not going to have the Democrats run rampant on 535 00:28:06.140 --> 00:28:09.960 this country and be able to implement laws arbitrarily. That 536 00:28:10.460 --> 00:28:13.200 that are taking away your right to celebrate Christmas like 537 00:28:13.559 --> 00:28:15.859 that's just it's just not going to happen. So when 538 00:28:15.880 --> 00:28:20.000 you're thinking about it from that perspective, and I'm very 539 00:28:20.059 --> 00:28:22.829 tempted to to not vote, although, you know, I don't 540 00:28:22.849 --> 00:28:24.349 know if I can bring myself to do it. But 541 00:28:24.400 --> 00:28:27.109 when you actually sit there and think about it, like, 542 00:28:27.789 --> 00:28:32.029 let's say me not voting Democrats taking Democrats taking, you know, 543 00:28:32.170 --> 00:28:34.509 one or both chambers of Congress. All it's going to 544 00:28:34.549 --> 00:28:37.609 mean is that Trump's not going to accomplish things that 545 00:28:37.630 --> 00:28:40.369 he's trying to accomplish. And guess what? I disagree with 546 00:28:40.390 --> 00:28:44.269 what he's trying to accomplish. So technically speaking, the best 547 00:28:44.309 --> 00:28:45.990 thing to do would be to make it to where 548 00:28:46.009 --> 00:28:49.849 Republicans don't control the House and the Senate because I 549 00:28:50.009 --> 00:28:53.109 don't want Trump fast-tracking artificial intelligence in the way that 550 00:28:53.150 --> 00:28:56.750 he is. I don't want him continuing

this war in Iran. 551 00:28:57.089 --> 00:29:00.309 I don't want him basically doing his actual, not his 552 00:29:00.349 --> 00:29:03.369 state of platform, but the platform that he's actually implementing. 553 00:29:03.470 --> 00:29:06.309 I don't like it. So wouldn't the most effective thing 554 00:29:06.329 --> 00:29:08.769 to do basically mean to where you can't really get 555 00:29:08.809 --> 00:29:09.250 anything done? 556 00:29:10.210 --> 00:29:11.089 Vote for some gridlock. 557 00:29:11.769 --> 00:29:11.990 Right. 558 00:29:12.690 --> 00:29:15.650 But there's no gridlock. Trump is ruling by executive order. 559 00:29:15.710 --> 00:29:17.089 What is Congress actually doing? Nothing. 560 00:29:18.029 --> 00:29:18.309 Nothing. 561 00:29:19.880 --> 00:29:23.920 It's all executive order. He's not going through the congressional system. 562 00:29:26.420 --> 00:29:27.289 There is something to that. 563 00:29:28.549 --> 00:29:31.509 I think there is something to that. I think the 564 00:29:31.549 --> 00:29:35.410 flip side is that– because the Republicans are constantly running 565 00:29:35.630 --> 00:29:38.509 on the fact that the Democrats will just hold up 566 00:29:38.549 --> 00:29:41.579 Trump and they're going to– to vote to impeach and 567 00:29:41.779 --> 00:29:44.839 just probably do impeachment after impeachment after impeachment. That's fine. 568 00:29:44.880 --> 00:29:49.539 But again, that will control what's going on to a 569 00:29:49.640 --> 00:29:52.960 certain degree. But I agree with you, Robbie, especially right now. 570 00:29:54.029 --> 00:29:57.210 He's running on executive order. But to a certain degree, 571 00:29:57.230 --> 00:29:59.210 there's only so much you can do on executive order. 572 00:29:59.410 --> 00:30:01.069 And on top of that, that can all be undone 573 00:30:01.109 --> 00:30:04.579 by the next president. And if he can't get legislation passed, then, 574 00:30:04.599 --> 00:30:06.160 you know, this is going to be just like a 575 00:30:06.539 --> 00:30:07.839 flash in the pan, in my opinion. 576 00:30:09.240 --> 00:30:13.039 Yeah, I mean, well, let's talk about the one real 577 00:30:13.079 --> 00:30:16.619 implication that will happen from the Democrats taking back the House. 578 00:30:17.940 --> 00:30:21.059 I'm going to buy into that and assume that can happen. Obviously, 579 00:30:21.079 --> 00:30:23.700 the subpoenas are going to be flying fast and furious. 580 00:30:23.720 --> 00:30:26.880 There's going to be, you know, the House Oversight Committee 581 00:30:27.299 --> 00:30:30.509 will no longer be under James Comer. There's going to 582 00:30:30.549 --> 00:30:33.849 be maybe another, I would assume, another effort to impeach 583 00:30:33.910 --> 00:30:37.690 President Trump over something, probably not emoluments, which is what 584 00:30:37.730 --> 00:30:40.380 it should have been the first time. and should be again. 585 00:30:40.400 --> 00:30:45.160 I mean, this is where Democrats kind of will, if 586 00:30:45.259 --> 00:30:47.589 they go that, they're kind of stuck between a rock 587 00:30:47.609 --> 00:30:51.809 and a hard place, right? I mean, if they don't, 588 00:30:52.369 --> 00:30:55.970 they kind of, the red meat of the base wants blood. 589 00:30:56.130 --> 00:31:01.609 They want these investigations. They want subpoenas. They want Trumpies 590 00:31:01.670 --> 00:31:05.269 dragged in front of the cameras and forced to testify 591 00:31:05.390 --> 00:31:08.440 over and over. But that's all a distraction from the 592 00:31:08.519 --> 00:31:12.319 needs and wants of the American people. And while they're 593 00:31:12.359 --> 00:31:16.220 doing that, they're not even thinking about if there's something 594 00:31:16.240 --> 00:31:18.720 they can do about the price of eggs. They're not 595 00:31:18.839 --> 00:31:22.140 focused on anything like that. And I don't really believe 596 00:31:22.200 --> 00:31:24.809 that the Democratic Party can do both at the same time. 597 00:31:25.390 --> 00:31:28.470 They won't. They'll be like, we're going after the Trumpies. 598 00:31:28.869 --> 00:31:32.150 And that'll just seem like, here we go again. And 599 00:31:32.170 --> 00:31:34.509 the voters will be in an ornery mood of a 600 00:31:34.569 --> 00:31:40.039 different flavor. in two years. Um, you know, I mean, 601 00:31:40.700 --> 00:31:41.259 am I wrong? 602 00:31:42.000 --> 00:31:44.160 No, I think you're right. But, but, you know, both, 603 00:31:44.240 --> 00:31:47.480 both parties play this game of, you know, just pointing 604 00:31:47.519 --> 00:31:50.309 out the most evil, crazy, whatever about the other side. 605 00:31:50.349 --> 00:31:52.869 I mean, it's, it's why, again, it's, it's another, it's 606 00:31:52.910 --> 00:31:55.269 another reason why a lot of, a lot of former 607 00:31:55.309 --> 00:31:57.970 Trump supporters are not voting for him is that he 608 00:31:58.009 --> 00:32:00.940 didn't go after the, the, the Democrat party with the 609 00:32:01.000 --> 00:32:03.980 DOJ and, and all of that. Again, the Republican party 610 00:32:04.059 --> 00:32:06.099 was out for blood. And, you know, and I think, 611 00:32:06.160 --> 00:32:09.619 I think a lot of it was somewhat justifiable in this, 612 00:32:09.720 --> 00:32:12.900 in the sense of a lot of us have, have 613 00:32:12.980 --> 00:32:18.119 been directly impacted by the censorship regime of, of Joe Biden. 614 00:32:18.160 --> 00:32:20.490 Not to say that Trump's not implementing his own censorship 615 00:32:20.509 --> 00:32:23.890 regime as well, which, which is, which is actually happening. 616 00:32:24.710 --> 00:32:26.849 But it's like, but like when you think about it, 617 00:32:26.910 --> 00:32:29.269 it's like, there's a lot of people that dealt with 618 00:32:29.329 --> 00:32:32.089 very real world scenario problems. Like, like for example, like, 619 00:32:32.539 --> 00:32:35.549 A buddy of mine, Brandon Strzok, the founder of the 620 00:32:35.589 --> 00:32:40.890

walkaway movement, he had his door broken down by the 621 00:32:41.009 --> 00:32:45.029 FBI and arrested for his involvement in J6, where he 622 00:32:45.130 --> 00:32:48.519 literally stood on the opposite side of the Capitol building 623 00:32:49.299 --> 00:32:53.619 and didn't enter the building, nothing along those lines. And 624 00:32:54.460 --> 00:32:57.420 they said that he was trespassing because he was beyond 625 00:32:57.440 --> 00:33:00.000 the point of where the barriers were supposed to be. 626 00:33:00.099 --> 00:33:02.680 Not that the barriers were there, but where the barriers 627 00:33:02.819 --> 00:33:04.799 were supposed to be. And they said, because he was, 628 00:33:04.819 --> 00:33:06.950 he was where that theoretical line was supposed to be. 629 00:33:07.009 --> 00:33:09.210 Cause somebody else had moved the barriers that they, that 630 00:33:09.230 --> 00:33:11.630 they arrested him. So like, literally I know, I personally 631 00:33:11.650 --> 00:33:14.509 know people that have been like targeted by the FBI 632 00:33:14.549 --> 00:33:18.109 because of who they were found on technicalities and all like, 633 00:33:18.450 --> 00:33:22.009 so from that standpoint, it's like, there is a justifiable 634 00:33:22.190 --> 00:33:25.210 like seek of like vengeance or a revenge or something 635 00:33:25.230 --> 00:33:28.220 along those lines, because like everyday people have been caught 636 00:33:28.259 --> 00:33:31.240 up in this kind of political feud and weaponization of 637 00:33:31.279 --> 00:33:33.549 the government. But the problem is, is that, you know, 638 00:33:33.650 --> 00:33:37.369 it's like at a certain point, you can only go 639 00:33:37.509 --> 00:33:39.990 after your enemies so much before people like, but what 640 00:33:40.009 --> 00:33:45.230 about me? Like, look at my inflation. Like, look at 641 00:33:45.369 --> 00:33:49.710 my real world issues that I'm dealing with. And then 642 00:33:49.859 --> 00:33:51.900 guess what? Inflation is going crazy. But what's going to 643 00:33:51.920 --> 00:33:54.759 happen when AI is fully implemented and everything's automated and 644 00:33:54.799 --> 00:33:56.740 I don't have a job anymore? Like, what's life going 645 00:33:56.779 --> 00:33:58.700 to be like then? And nobody's talking about that because 646 00:33:58.759 --> 00:34:01.150 it's so much about like, the Democrats are evil and 647 00:34:01.190 --> 00:34:03.390 we're going to lock them up, even though Trump said 648 00:34:03.430 --> 00:34:05.130 we're never going to lock them up. And you're just, 649 00:34:05.430 --> 00:34:10.309 it's such a weird fight because nobody's actually focusing on 650 00:34:10.329 --> 00:34:13.139 the American people. And the one thing, I'll throw this 651 00:34:13.179 --> 00:34:14.500 out there and then I'll throw it back to you, Ted, 652 00:34:14.559 --> 00:34:18.260 is that my thing is when I'm looking at President Trump, 653 00:34:18.440 --> 00:34:22.139 I think that part of what's happening is the gatekeepers. 654 00:34:22.260 --> 00:34:26.280 Part of what's happening is, you know, again, they took 655 00:34:26.320 --> 00:34:28.579 away his access to the American people from social and 656 00:34:28.599 --> 00:34:30.409 all that kind of stuff. But part of it is 657 00:34:30.530 --> 00:34:35.030 I think Trump's true interpretation of America first is coming 658 00:34:35.110 --> 00:34:38.449 through in the sense that he's looking at America first 659 00:34:38.699 --> 00:34:42.340 as America the entity, America the country. So how could 660 00:34:42.360 --> 00:34:44.179 it be the world's biggest superpower? How could we have 661 00:34:44.199 --> 00:34:46.480 the world's biggest economy and the biggest GDP and the 662 00:34:46.519 --> 00:34:49.619 biggest stock prices and this, that? And what he's doing 663 00:34:49.639 --> 00:34:53.769 is he's making deals with other countries. He's making deals 664 00:34:54.150 --> 00:34:59.789 with big corporations. He's fast-tracking artificial intelligence because he wants 665 00:34:59.809 --> 00:35:01.849 to be the top dog in the AI race and 666 00:35:01.909 --> 00:35:04.550 beat China and all that. But who's getting hurt? It's 667 00:35:04.570 --> 00:35:07.230 the American people. So he's putting America the entity first 668 00:35:07.630 --> 00:35:10.579 and not Americans first. And I think that that's the 669 00:35:10.659 --> 00:35:14.179 problem that the Republicans are facing right now is that 670 00:35:14.340 --> 00:35:18.659 I think the Trump base has an interpretation of America first, 671 00:35:18.739 --> 00:35:22.050 meaning– He's putting the American people first because that's what 672 00:35:22.090 --> 00:35:24.989 he pitched us back in 2016. And Trump is running 673 00:35:25.090 --> 00:35:28.349 with putting America the country first. And how do we 674 00:35:28.469 --> 00:35:31.110 beat everybody else in all of these stupid races? And 675 00:35:31.510 --> 00:35:34.989 it's like, OK, but at what cost? Like, OK, great. 676 00:35:35.030 --> 00:35:37.860 We win the race against China. OK, you know, because 677 00:35:37.909 --> 00:35:40.940 we're going to fight against communism. But then it's literally 678 00:35:40.960 --> 00:35:43.320 going to usher in communism here. So really, what's the 679 00:35:43.340 --> 00:35:45.820 difference between us and China if we both are doing 680 00:35:45.840 --> 00:35:46.559 the exact same thing? 681 00:35:47.610 --> 00:35:49.489 Well, I mean, I'm glad you brought this up. And 682 00:35:49.530 --> 00:35:51.849 by the way, Robbie, please tee up the ad that 683 00:35:51.869 --> 00:35:53.489 you brought up. Just keep it, get it ready, but 684 00:35:53.530 --> 00:35:57.739 don't play it yet. So, you know, in my view, 685 00:35:57.780 --> 00:36:00.840 that used to be the big distinguishing definition between people 686 00:36:00.860 --> 00:36:03.539 would ask, what's the difference between left-wing and right-wing politics? 687 00:36:03.559 -->

00:36:06.940 And I would say, well, in America, the left-wing vision 688 00:36:07.760 --> 00:36:10.840 of the country is sort of a European French style. Like, 689 00:36:10.980 --> 00:36:14.590 you know, we are, you know, what really matters is 690 00:36:14.659 --> 00:36:17.489 people's individual rights as an individual and their rights and 691 00:36:17.530 --> 00:36:20.869 their privileges, you know, whether that be social programs or 692 00:36:21.030 --> 00:36:24.929 free speech or whatever. And right-wing politics writ large is 693 00:36:24.969 --> 00:36:28.409 more about the glory of the state and sublimating individual rights. 694 00:36:28.869 --> 00:36:31.789 That's breaking down. That's no longer, I mean, we're seeing 695 00:36:31.809 --> 00:36:36.150 authoritarianism on the left, you know, not just cancel culture, 696 00:36:36.530 --> 00:36:40.869 but we're also seeing, you know, just like the, you know, well, 697 00:36:40.889 --> 00:36:44.050 for example, the Democrats have become the war party more 698 00:36:44.090 --> 00:36:45.960 than the Republicans have. So we're in the middle of 699 00:36:45.980 --> 00:36:49.000 this massive realignment. And in fact, my column this week, 700 00:36:50.019 --> 00:36:52.659 which I just wrote the first draft of yesterday, is 701 00:36:52.719 --> 00:36:56.309 about whether there's common ground between the populist left and 702 00:36:56.329 --> 00:37:00.260 the populist right that can you know, can form actually 703 00:37:00.280 --> 00:37:03.980 a viable, not minor third party, but like a new 704 00:37:04.119 --> 00:37:08.099 major party. Is there common ground there? And it's like 705 00:37:08.260 --> 00:37:10.760 something I want to talk to you about. But let's 706 00:37:10.820 --> 00:37:13.599 watch this ad, Robbie. This is sort of about, this 707 00:37:13.719 --> 00:37:16.019 sort of helps frame the issue. Robbie, go ahead and 708 00:37:16.300 --> 00:37:16.619 play it. 709 00:37:17.659 --> 00:37:21.780 Why does Israel matter to America? Because we get practical benefits. 710 00:37:22.389 --> 00:37:26.570 A strong Israel helps keep Americans safe. Israel shares intelligence 711 00:37:26.639 --> 00:37:30.260 that helps identify threats before they reach us. It confronts 712 00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:33.300 dangers on the front lines, so American troops are not 713 00:37:33.340 --> 00:37:37.360 drawn into a wider conflict. That cooperation helps keep war 714 00:37:37.460 --> 00:37:41.579 and terror threats far from our shores. Fewer threats, less 715 00:37:41.659 --> 00:37:45.989 risk to Americans. A stronger Israel means a safer America. Wow. 716 00:37:46.010 --> 00:37:46.230 Okay. 717 00:37:48.389 --> 00:37:48.769 Wow. 718 00:37:52.440 --> 00:37:57.440 That's something. So it's like, yeah, I mean, it's like, 719 00:37:57.519 --> 00:38:00.210 but wait, right now we're in a war because of Israel. 720 00:38:00.829 --> 00:38:02.750 You know, Osama bin Laden said that he attacked us 721 00:38:02.829 --> 00:38:06.429 on 9-11 in part because of Israel's occupation of the 722 00:38:06.489 --> 00:38:10.530 occupied territories. You know, but it's amazing. Go ahead, Robbie. 723 00:38:10.789 --> 00:38:13.079 Well, I have a question for both of y'all. I mean, 724 00:38:13.460 --> 00:38:17.579 y'all do politics for your living. Isn't that ad the 725 00:38:17.619 --> 00:38:22.739 very definition of foreign interference in American politics? I mean, 726 00:38:22.820 --> 00:38:25.659 isn't that exactly what that is? Isn't that a foreign 727 00:38:25.739 --> 00:38:30.179 nation directly trying to influence how American voters vote? 728 00:38:31.659 --> 00:38:33.860 Sure. I mean, I think they're really thinking about hacking 729 00:38:34.030 --> 00:38:38.329 voting machines and, you know, what Russia supposedly did in 2016, 730 00:38:38.329 --> 00:38:41.989 but didn't. You know, that's what people think. But you're right. 731 00:38:42.250 --> 00:38:45.920 It is absolutely foreign interference and you know, in, in, 732 00:38:46.039 --> 00:38:49.000 in an American election, no question about it. But I mean, 733 00:38:49.800 --> 00:38:52.590 so getting back to the populist left populist, right. Is it, 734 00:38:52.980 --> 00:38:54.840 I mean, I was thinking about like, what would it 735 00:38:54.920 --> 00:38:59.059 take for such an alliance to work? And, and very 736 00:38:59.179 --> 00:39:03.079 clearly the populist left would have to do something that 737 00:39:03.099 --> 00:39:06.079 would be kind of not too hard, which is to 738 00:39:06.400 --> 00:39:08.840 sort of shed away a lot of the, you know, 739 00:39:09.199 --> 00:39:13.650 walk away or back burner, a lot of woke stuff, right. Like, 740 00:39:13.730 --> 00:39:17.409 you know, um, trans athletes in girls' sports and stuff 741 00:39:17.449 --> 00:39:22.519 like that. Most left-wing populists, socialists and left libertarians and 742 00:39:22.619 --> 00:39:26.920 communists don't care about that stuff much anyway. So they, that, 743 00:39:27.039 --> 00:39:30.300 that'd be a pretty easy gimme. I think where the 744 00:39:30.380 --> 00:39:33.300 challenge would be like, and we'd all agree, okay, we 745 00:39:33.639 --> 00:39:36.760 resources and attention should be focused on the American people 746 00:39:37.340 --> 00:39:41.429 first control our borders. You know, if the unemployment, as 747 00:39:41.510 --> 00:39:44.190 I always say, if the unemployment rate is over zero, 748 00:39:44.769 --> 00:39:49.610 no H1B visas. Okay. So like, But then, so that 749 00:39:49.670 --> 00:39:51.469 kind of thing, we could all, I think, get on 750 00:39:51.510 --> 00:39:54.199 the same page there. I think where trouble would be like, okay, 751 00:39:54.219 --> 00:39:56.519 so we've now, we're no longer sending money to Ukraine 752 00:39:56.559 --> 00:39:59.429 or Israel or, you know, God knows where else. And 753 00:39:59.469 --> 00:40:02.409 we're now, So the question is, what happens to that 754 00:40:02.469 -->

00:40:07.010 money next? I think that's where a populist front has 755 00:40:07.070 --> 00:40:09.949 its challenges, right? Because the left would say, now let's 756 00:40:09.969 --> 00:40:13.909 do some jobs retraining programs. Let's help poor people. Let's 757 00:40:14.309 --> 00:40:17.809 address the opioid crisis and help people get into rehab 758 00:40:17.869 --> 00:40:19.679 and stuff like that. And I think a lot of 759 00:40:19.699 --> 00:40:24.579 people on the right, please elucidate me, would probably say, well, 760 00:40:24.599 --> 00:40:27.719 we should pay down the deficit. We should become fiscal 761 00:40:27.760 --> 00:40:30.260 conservatives first. That's what we should be doing with the 762 00:40:30.320 --> 00:40:34.159 money instead. I mean, is that where the problem would be? 763 00:40:34.840 --> 00:40:38.590 Well, I think that, you know, I think number one, 764 00:40:38.610 --> 00:40:43.150 I think that kind of coalition, and I've often thought 765 00:40:43.190 --> 00:40:46.030 about this because there is, like, when you think about it, 766 00:40:46.050 --> 00:40:48.489 going back to Trump back in 2016, there was a 767 00:40:48.530 --> 00:40:50.590 lot of overlap between him and Bernie Sanders. They just 768 00:40:50.610 --> 00:40:52.690 came to different conclusions. They came to different, you know, 769 00:40:52.800 --> 00:40:54.480 applications of how do we fix the problem and all 770 00:40:54.519 --> 00:40:58.469 that kind of stuff. I think that... There is a 771 00:40:58.570 --> 00:41:01.710 very plausible thing, and I've spoken with a few different 772 00:41:01.730 --> 00:41:05.219 people in and around Tucker and Marjorie Taylor Greene, and 773 00:41:05.260 --> 00:41:08.880 that's one of the things that they're actually discussing, is 774 00:41:08.960 --> 00:41:12.239 getting a viable third party where they bring in more 775 00:41:13.059 --> 00:41:17.699 of the Bernie Sanders-type Democrats that they can kind of 776 00:41:17.719 --> 00:41:21.699 coalesce around. I think that, to me, I think that 777 00:41:21.980 --> 00:41:25.840 the scenario where it could potentially work, but I don't 778 00:41:25.900 --> 00:41:29.079 see it living... long-term, but for the short-term, I think 779 00:41:29.139 --> 00:41:32.679 it can actually be effective, is that you have one 780 00:41:32.760 --> 00:41:37.289 party that agrees on the fundamental core issues. Like, okay, look, 781 00:41:37.309 --> 00:41:40.010 we all disagree on, like, all these different things, but 782 00:41:40.070 --> 00:41:41.849 we agree we need to put America first, we need 783 00:41:41.869 --> 00:41:44.670 to secure our borders, we need to stop funding, you know, 784 00:41:44.909 --> 00:41:47.010 not just Israel, but, like, all these countries that we're 785 00:41:47.030 --> 00:41:50.269 sending billions and billions and billions of dollars to, no 786 00:41:50.989 --> 00:41:55.329 foreign interventionism, you know, actually put America first and put 787 00:41:55.360 --> 00:41:58.510 the American people first. I think if we focus on 788 00:41:59.030 --> 00:42:02.610 fixing the problems, I think that we could actually come together. 789 00:42:03.849 --> 00:42:06.690 The thing that I've thought about is that what if 790 00:42:06.730 --> 00:42:10.389 it was one party, but two different wings? So like, 791 00:42:10.409 --> 00:42:12.429 for example, like in the Republican Party, at one point 792 00:42:12.449 --> 00:42:13.940 you had the Tea Party, right? So it was a 793 00:42:14.019 --> 00:42:16.840 movement within the Republican Party. What if you went into 794 00:42:16.920 --> 00:42:19.199 it with the understanding that almost like you're going to 795 00:42:19.219 --> 00:42:22.239 have two caucuses within here, within the same whatever third 796 00:42:22.280 --> 00:42:24.380 party is. You're going to have the third party that 797 00:42:24.440 --> 00:42:27.050 trends left and the third party that trends right. And 798 00:42:27.090 --> 00:42:28.489 that you guys are going to duke it out. We're 799 00:42:28.510 --> 00:42:30.469 going to agree on these fundamental things. We're going to 800 00:42:30.550 --> 00:42:32.130 fix this. We're going to do this. We're going to 801 00:42:32.150 --> 00:42:34.090 do this. And then we'll duke it out here. And 802 00:42:34.110 --> 00:42:36.329 then maybe when it comes to actually voting for legislation, 803 00:42:36.889 --> 00:42:39.789 one caucus will typically vote Republican. This caucus will typically 804 00:42:39.829 --> 00:42:43.130 vote Democrat. But when it comes to we're going to 805 00:42:43.250 --> 00:42:46.409 agree on we're going to stop sending money to Israel. 806 00:42:46.429 --> 00:42:48.469 We're going to stop sending money to Ukraine. We're going 807 00:42:48.489 --> 00:42:50.809 to deal with this problem with China. We're going to 808 00:42:50.849 --> 00:42:53.929 deal with the borders. We're going to deal with AI 809 00:42:54.090 --> 00:42:55.909 and how it's going to take away everybody's jobs. We're 810 00:42:55.929 --> 00:42:58.010 going to deal with all that. I feel like there 811 00:42:58.070 --> 00:43:01.630 could be a very plausible, realistic scenario where like, if 812 00:43:01.730 --> 00:43:05.710 you commit to actually fixing those things, put aside all 813 00:43:05.750 --> 00:43:08.150 the rest of the differences, I think there could be 814 00:43:08.190 --> 00:43:10.739 a very real scenario where you could see a legitimate 815 00:43:10.780 --> 00:43:12.920 third party rise up. But I think you would have 816 00:43:12.960 --> 00:43:15.719 to go into it with the understanding that there are 817 00:43:15.760 --> 00:43:18.860 going to be two caucuses or two wings within that 818 00:43:18.960 --> 00:43:22.460 same party. And you, and that that's the pitch is that, 819 00:43:22.800 --> 00:43:24.320 you know, we're not going, we're not going to tell you, 820 00:43:24.340 --> 00:43:26.559 you have to set aside everything permanently for this.

821 00:43:26.579 --> 00:43:26.760 Right. 822 00:43:27.190 --> 00:43:30.039 Keep your identity, keep your belief system, keep all of that. 823 00:43:30.460 --> 00:43:33.480 We're just joining together to fix these things right here. 824 00:43:34.369 --> 00:43:37.760 We're just creating a new tent. We're just moving the 825 00:43:38.099 --> 00:43:41.619 parties into a new tent, right? Like we're stealing MAGA 826 00:43:41.920 --> 00:43:45.760 from the Republicans and we're stealing the Bernie bros from 827 00:43:45.780 --> 00:43:49.179 the Democrats and they come together under one tent. I mean, 828 00:43:49.340 --> 00:43:55.429 I'm being very, very facile and generalistic here. But I mean, 829 00:43:55.449 --> 00:43:57.469 I think, I mean, I do see, I mean, this 830 00:43:57.530 --> 00:44:00.210 is kind of like the famous speech that the leader 831 00:44:00.250 --> 00:44:04.639 of the Afghan resistance, Ahmed Shah Massoud said, when he 832 00:44:04.860 --> 00:44:08.099 unified all the tribes of Afghanistan against the Soviets, and 833 00:44:08.139 --> 00:44:11.099 he toasted them all with apple tea. And he said, first, 834 00:44:11.380 --> 00:44:15.019 we kill the Russians. Then we kill each other. In 835 00:44:15.059 --> 00:44:16.440 other words, first things first. 836 00:44:17.079 --> 00:44:17.260 Right. 837 00:44:17.420 --> 00:44:20.550 One thing that I think that you're missing about the 838 00:44:20.590 --> 00:44:23.719 populist right and populist left, they're not typical Republicans. Now, 839 00:44:23.889 --> 00:44:26.369 the Republicans always talk about paying out of the deficit. 840 00:44:26.429 --> 00:44:29.510 The deficit always grows under them. What I'm about to 841 00:44:29.550 --> 00:44:33.699 say is probably... represents maybe 90%, if not more, of 842 00:44:33.739 --> 00:44:38.230 the America-first right-wingers like me. They would actually side with 843 00:44:38.250 --> 00:44:41.829 the populist left on the priorities about what to do 844 00:44:41.849 --> 00:44:46.929 with the money from foreign aid. You'd be hard-pressed to 845 00:44:46.949 --> 00:44:49.230 find a better way to pay off the national debt 846 00:44:49.849 --> 00:44:52.119 than get all these people who are addicted to opioids 847 00:44:52.179 --> 00:44:55.079 running around San Francisco like zombies. They get them clean, 848 00:44:55.139 --> 00:44:59.309 get them jobs. And paying taxes. Actually get them to 849 00:44:59.349 --> 00:45:01.800 be productive. That's how you pay down the deficits, but 850 00:45:01.889 --> 00:45:08.559 it's through productivity. So you drop the drug dealers out 851 00:45:08.599 --> 00:45:14.000 of airplanes, Afghan style. You clean up the junkie, get 852 00:45:14.019 --> 00:45:17.409 them into the workforce. The tax revenue comes in, the 853 00:45:18.110 --> 00:45:20.510 problem is solved. And you're killing tubers with one stone. 854 00:45:20.530 --> 00:45:24.610 You're getting rid of the social pathogen and the fiscal suicides. 855

00:45:25.210 --> 00:45:28.429 A little breaking news, by the way, about AI-related. Anthropic 856 00:45:28.469 --> 00:45:33.050 just released its IPO financials. They're admitting to something that 857 00:45:33.070 --> 00:45:35.530 we did not know prior, that they currently have an 858 00:45:35.530 --> 00:45:38.780 $ 80 billion loss on their books as they go into 859 00:45:38.800 --> 00:45:39.559 their IPO. 860 00:45:40.300 --> 00:45:44.699 That's wild. Yeah. Well, the thing, and I've got some 861 00:45:44.739 --> 00:45:48.239 friends that do a lot of investing and all that 862 00:45:48.260 --> 00:45:51.269 kind of stuff. And and they've been telling me for 863 00:45:51.309 --> 00:45:54.280 a long time that, and I think Elon even just 864 00:45:54.320 --> 00:45:57.380 confirmed this the other day on Twitter, that, that the, 865 00:45:57.739 --> 00:46:00.539 that there's going to be a, basically an AI bubble 866 00:46:00.619 --> 00:46:03.400 because there's so much money that's being, that's being thrown 867 00:46:03.440 --> 00:46:05.739 into this thing. Not to say that AI is going 868 00:46:05.760 --> 00:46:07.750 to go away. Cause I think, I think that these get, 869 00:46:07.769 --> 00:46:09.190 there's no way that they're going to let it go 870 00:46:09.230 --> 00:46:11.570 away because they're, you know, this is how they dominate 871 00:46:11.590 --> 00:46:13.750 all of us and rule the world and centralized power 872 00:46:13.769 --> 00:46:15.949 and all that kind of stuff. But I think that, that, 873 00:46:16.420 --> 00:46:18.579 when you think about it, it's not just a couple 874 00:46:18.599 --> 00:46:20.500 of companies that are investing a lot of money. It's 875 00:46:20.760 --> 00:46:25.010 every single industry, every single vertical in our economy is 876 00:46:25.070 --> 00:46:29.630 investing money into artificial intelligence development and integration. There's so 877 00:46:29.650 --> 00:46:32.690 much like companies are going into debt. Like, like take, 878 00:46:32.710 --> 00:46:35.559 take rumble, for example, like rumble has been, has been 879 00:46:35.659 --> 00:46:39.099 losing on their stock and their stocks for years. They've 880 00:46:39.119 --> 00:46:41.849 been in the red. So what do they do to 881 00:46:41.909 --> 00:46:45.690 keep the shareholders happy is to get into the AI 882 00:46:45.730 --> 00:46:48.650 game and AI development and computation and data centers and 883 00:46:48.670 --> 00:46:50.230 all that. So then that way they can say, look, 884 00:46:50.690 --> 00:46:53.719 keep your stocks, keep your investments in rumble because you're 885 00:46:53.739 --> 00:46:57.579 investing for the future, right? But if the entire industry 886 00:46:58.119 --> 00:47:01.599 is going into debt and investing, quote unquote, for the future, 887 00:47:02.539 --> 00:47:05.139 that's a bubble that is going to burst because there's 888 00:47:05.219 --> 00:47:07.260 not enough money to go around unless we're just going 889 00:47:07.280 --> 00:47:08.500 to print ourselves. 890 00:47:08.619 --> 00:47:09.550 And there's no present. 891 00:47:10.210 --> 00:47:10.429 Right. 892 00:47:11.150 --> 00:47:11.349 Yeah. 893 00:47:11.630 --> 00:47:13.789 I mean, that's kind of like, I mean, you know, 894 00:47:13.809 --> 00:47:15.239 and I do think that is kind of like the 895 00:47:15.280 --> 00:47:19.000 problem maybe with government is that, I mean, I don't 896 00:47:19.059 --> 00:47:21.900 even understand, like, for example, you know, we're talking about, 897 00:47:22.260 --> 00:47:25.340 we all know the disruption that AI is causing already 898 00:47:25.380 --> 00:47:29.559 in the jobs market. We know, for example, whether it's, 899 00:47:29.739 --> 00:47:32.280 you know, obviously I think it's caused by humans. It 900 00:47:32.300 --> 00:47:35.190 doesn't matter. We know climate change is happening and we 901 00:47:35.230 --> 00:47:37.210 know we're going to have to deal with it. Why 902 00:47:37.250 --> 00:47:40.570 don't we have blue ribbon commissions anymore of very, very 903 00:47:40.650 --> 00:47:43.809 smart academics and other people who get together and advise 904 00:47:43.829 --> 00:47:47.050 the government and testify before Congress? Like, okay, so AI 905 00:47:47.159 --> 00:47:50.840 is coming and here's some of the possible solutions we 906 00:47:50.900 --> 00:47:54.420 could do if we wanted to. I mean, that's the 907 00:47:54.460 --> 00:47:57.539 part that's so frustrating to me. We are supposed to 908 00:47:57.579 --> 00:48:00.639 be a smart country and we literally, we can see 909 00:48:00.659 --> 00:48:03.369 this train rolling towards us at one mile an hour 910 00:48:03.789 --> 00:48:06.090 and we're just not getting out of the way. Yeah. 911 00:48:06.469 --> 00:48:08.929 Well, but a lot of it is that, OK, who's 912 00:48:09.010 --> 00:48:10.829 who's going to pick who's going to pick these, quote unquote, 913 00:48:10.889 --> 00:48:12.750 experts in order to do the testifying? It's going to 914 00:48:12.789 --> 00:48:15.190 be the ones that fit in with whatever whatever the 915 00:48:15.250 --> 00:48:18.309 narrative is, you know, of whoever's in power, you know. 916 00:48:18.710 --> 00:48:20.760 And I think that that and that's one of the 917 00:48:20.820 --> 00:48:24.840 interesting things, too, is that because Trump has been fast 918 00:48:24.880 --> 00:48:27.900 tracking AI, you've got the Democrats that are that are 919 00:48:28.099 --> 00:48:32.190 quickly becoming the anti AI crowd. And, but, but it's 920 00:48:32.250 --> 00:48:34.230 funny because it's like, well, but they were the ones 921 00:48:34.250 --> 00:48:36.739 that were pro Silicon Valley and all the tech, you know, 922 00:48:36.820 --> 00:48:38.840 you know, development and all that kind of stuff. And 923 00:48:38.940 --> 00:48:40.599 it's like, again, it comes back to, it's kind of 924 00:48:40.619 --> 00:48:42.239 two sides of the same coin. And I think to 925 00:48:42.260 -->

00:48:44.480 a certain degree, it's probably controlled opposition of some kind 926 00:48:44.500 --> 00:48:46.119 because they just know it. This, this is a good 927 00:48:46.179 --> 00:48:47.880 pitch to the, to the, to the people of like, 928 00:48:48.139 --> 00:48:50.539 we're fighting for you against the tyrannical Donald Trump that's 929 00:48:50.559 --> 00:48:52.480 centralizing all the power and taking away your power with 930 00:48:52.559 --> 00:48:55.659 AI and all that. All that, all that to say 931 00:48:55.679 --> 00:48:58.380 is that it's like, that's, that's, that's one of my 932 00:48:58.400 --> 00:49:01.929 biggest frustrations is exactly what you said is, Like AI 933 00:49:01.989 --> 00:49:06.059 is not going away. The question that I've been posing is, 934 00:49:06.539 --> 00:49:08.440 what do we want America to look like in the 935 00:49:08.539 --> 00:49:11.440 era of artificial intelligence? And nobody wants to have that conversation. 936 00:49:11.900 --> 00:49:15.150 The only people having that conversation are Elon Musk and 937 00:49:15.210 --> 00:49:17.429 Sam Altman and all that kind of stuff that like, 938 00:49:17.889 --> 00:49:21.219 you know, like Elon is pitching his. his version of 939 00:49:21.260 --> 00:49:24.019 a communist utopia, which is basically AI and robotics will 940 00:49:24.039 --> 00:49:27.710 do everything, will do nothing, will be completely reliant upon them. 941 00:49:28.070 --> 00:49:29.610 And then we could just go about and live a 942 00:49:29.630 --> 00:49:31.949 hedonistic lifestyle and do nothing and have no purpose and 943 00:49:31.969 --> 00:49:34.590 all that. And that's just a byproduct of development. Who 944 00:49:34.650 --> 00:49:37.840 really cares? And you're just like– but like I've got 945 00:49:37.860 --> 00:49:40.239 a four-year-old son. That's not the America I want my 946 00:49:40.280 --> 00:49:42.980 four-year-old son to grow up in and become an adult 947 00:49:43.059 --> 00:49:45.559 in and live in this world where he has no purpose. 948 00:49:45.639 --> 00:49:48.309 Is that really what we're all fighting for is– take 949 00:49:48.329 --> 00:49:50.230 away all of our purpose, take away all of our 950 00:49:50.349 --> 00:49:52.889 ability to earn and be self-sufficient and all of that. 951 00:49:53.389 --> 00:49:55.869 And it's like, these are conversations we should be having 952 00:49:55.989 --> 00:49:59.869 now before we get to the point of AI dominance 953 00:50:00.289 --> 00:50:02.590 and not wait until we're there. Like, oh, we should 954 00:50:02.610 --> 00:50:05.139 probably start having this conversation. Oh, our rights are already 955 00:50:05.179 --> 00:50:07.659 taken away. Sorry, guys. There's no point to having the 956 00:50:07.699 --> 00:50:08.360 conversation now. 957 00:50:09.440 --> 00:50:12.380 Right. Well, yeah. I mean, of course, you know, look, 958 00:50:12.500 --> 00:50:15.179 I hear you about the Elon Musk vision of things. 959 00:50:15.719 --> 00:50:18.090 What's he call it? Not a, it's not a universal 960 00:50:18.130 --> 00:50:21.250 basic income. It's a very, it's a high basic. 961 00:50:20.980 --> 00:50:24.539 Income, which Trump is, Trump is now endorsing as well. Trump, 962 00:50:24.579 --> 00:50:26.679 Trump backed it. Like Elon literally said in front of 963 00:50:26.760 --> 00:50:28.469 Trump and Trump's like, yep, that's where we're going. 964 00:50:29.469 --> 00:50:31.809 I mean, and look, I can see the problems with that, 965 00:50:31.849 --> 00:50:34.110 just as you described. But I can, you know, the 966 00:50:34.150 --> 00:50:37.030 problem of, you know, I can imagine doing nothing is 967 00:50:37.050 --> 00:50:39.969 going to end up like a dystopian wasteland where we're 968 00:50:39.989 --> 00:50:43.409 all eating out of garbage cans and killing. And, you know, 969 00:50:43.469 --> 00:50:46.590 there's no people are starving to death. It's I mean, 970 00:50:46.780 --> 00:50:48.500 that's where we're headed because we don't have much of 971 00:50:48.539 --> 00:50:54.590 a social safety net, not enough to cover this. Right. So, okay, 972 00:50:54.610 --> 00:50:58.650 so let's talk a little bit about this Lindsey Graham thing. 973 00:50:59.630 --> 00:51:01.909 I'm curious, as a person of the right, what you 974 00:51:01.929 --> 00:51:04.050 think about all this. I mean, I'm a little torn. 975 00:51:04.909 --> 00:51:08.340 On the one hand, I mean, I always like to 976 00:51:08.420 --> 00:51:13.760 see BS exposed. And the idea that Lindsey Graham wasn't gay, 977 00:51:13.840 --> 00:51:17.320 as Marjorie Taylor Greene said, was always laughable, right? I mean, 978 00:51:17.340 --> 00:51:20.179 it was kind of like an open secret in Washington. 979 00:51:20.539 --> 00:51:23.659 It was well known. He presented as gay. It's like, 980 00:51:23.719 --> 00:51:26.800 if that guy wasn't gay, then there are no gay people. Like, 981 00:51:26.900 --> 00:51:29.019 that's a gay guy. And I know a gay guy 982 00:51:29.039 --> 00:51:30.780 when I see a gay guy. And I think a 983 00:51:30.820 --> 00:51:34.170 lot of particularly gay people and their allies, they looked 984 00:51:34.269 --> 00:51:36.550 at it and they're like, you know, it's annoying that 985 00:51:36.570 --> 00:51:41.170 you have a guy who votes against LGBTQ legislation and 986 00:51:41.730 --> 00:51:44.510 talks crap about us, but he's one of us and 987 00:51:44.630 --> 00:51:47.409 that should be exposed. And, you know, I'm sympathetic to that. 988 00:51:48.349 --> 00:51:52.329 On the other hand, it's nobody's business, right? And he 989 00:51:52.349 --> 00:51:57.230 didn't really want to share his truth, assuming that was 990 00:51:57.280 --> 00:52:01.239 his truth. Now we have this video from Young Turks 991 00:52:01.699 --> 00:52:04.860 that shows three dudes who claimed that basically they were 992 00:52:04.880 --> 00:52:13.880 gay prostitutes, who basically their customer was Lady Lindsay. And 993 00:52:13.900 -->

00:52:17.840 then I'm thinking, okay, but does this matter in any way, 994 00:52:17.880 --> 00:52:21.860 shape or form? I mean, the politics of it just 995 00:52:21.889 --> 00:52:26.090 seemed tawdry. And so I can argue this either way. 996 00:52:26.150 --> 00:52:29.610 I mean, should we care? Why do we care? Does 997 00:52:29.630 --> 00:52:33.010 this have any, and this is obviously being released, you know, 998 00:52:33.090 --> 00:52:37.030 a week and a half, a week before a midterm election, uh, 999 00:52:37.130 --> 00:52:40.869 where Lindsey Graham's sister is running for his old seat 1000 00:52:41.389 --> 00:52:45.219 after he died. You know, that's, you can't miss the timing. Um, 1001 00:52:46.050 --> 00:52:46.750 What do you think about this? 1002 00:52:47.269 --> 00:52:51.230 Yeah, it's, it's interesting because I, um, I'm torn on 1003 00:52:51.309 --> 00:52:54.449 it because I, I see arguments on, on both sides 1004 00:52:54.489 --> 00:52:54.670 of it. 1005 00:52:54.739 --> 00:52:54.909 Right. 1006 00:52:54.929 --> 00:52:57.460 So like, um, like for example, like a good buddy 1007 00:52:57.480 --> 00:53:00.400 of mine, uh, Chad Caton, he's from South Carolina. He 1008 00:53:00.420 --> 00:53:03.480 w he was one of Lindsey's grams, like toughest critics. 1009 00:53:03.500 --> 00:53:04.940 And he, he always referred to him as lady as 1010 00:53:05.000 --> 00:53:07.239 lady G and he's like, it was, it was, it 1011 00:53:07.280 --> 00:53:11.280 was known in and around South Carolina. Like that's who 1012 00:53:11.340 --> 00:53:14.440 he was and all of that. Now, I don't necessarily 1013 00:53:14.500 --> 00:53:17.300 know if people knew that he was sleeping with like, 1014 00:53:17.500 --> 00:53:21.019 you know, underage boys and, you know, you know, hookers 1015 00:53:21.079 --> 00:53:23.179 and all that kind of like, that's again, I think, 1016 00:53:23.239 --> 00:53:25.860 I think a revelation to a certain degree, but I 1017 00:53:25.880 --> 00:53:29.000 think the thing that people forget is that like, that's 1018 00:53:29.340 --> 00:53:33.360 also Washington DC. Like, like again, I've, I've, I've known 1019 00:53:33.409 --> 00:53:36.090 people a long time in, in, in and around DC. 1020 00:53:36.130 --> 00:53:38.570 I've known people in and around Hollywood. I've, I've, you know, 1021 00:53:38.670 --> 00:53:41.670 all that kind of stuff. Like, it's a known fact 1022 00:53:41.710 --> 00:53:44.309 that like the vast majority of the people that you 1023 00:53:44.789 --> 00:53:48.380 see and idolize and look up to that are famous, 1024 00:53:48.489 --> 00:53:52.719 like they've got some skeletons in, in their closet. Like the, 1025 00:53:53.219 --> 00:53:55.780 like the, like the fact that we had like a 1026 00:53:55.820 --> 00:53:59.760 congressional fund to basically pay off sexual harassment claims should 1027 00:53:59.800 --> 00:54:03.260 be evidence of that. And you're like, well, like when you, 1028 00:54:03.300 --> 00:54:05.889 when you

think about it, like, why should, why, why, 1029 00:54:05.989 --> 00:54:08.070 why do we need that? Like when you think, why, 1030 00:54:08.170 --> 00:54:12.010 like it's, it's weird. So I think when it comes 1031 00:54:12.030 --> 00:54:14.969 to this, for me, I'm not the biggest fan of 1032 00:54:15.590 --> 00:54:20.789 weaponizing this because to me, anytime you weaponize this kind 1033 00:54:20.809 --> 00:54:23.369 of a claim or an allegation against the other– the 1034 00:54:23.409 --> 00:54:26.570 quote-unquote the other party, the other guys, like you're being 1035 00:54:26.610 --> 00:54:29.380 hypocritical because your side is doing it too. Both sides 1036 00:54:29.739 --> 00:54:32.380 are doing the exact same thing that Lindsey Graham is 1037 00:54:32.400 --> 00:54:35.000 doing except maybe they're not covering up the fact that 1038 00:54:35.019 --> 00:54:38.179 they're gay, right? But that's also happening a lot. I 1039 00:54:38.199 --> 00:54:39.980 think it's also happening more than you think on the 1040 00:54:40.000 --> 00:54:45.179 Republican Party side. It is. But also, like, the shenanigans 1041 00:54:45.199 --> 00:54:48.469 that go on, like, I've been told by people that are, like, 1042 00:54:48.530 --> 00:54:51.030 in and around Washington, D.C., the shenanigans that go on 1043 00:54:51.309 --> 00:54:54.989 inside the congressional offices are out of control and wild 1044 00:54:55.070 --> 00:54:57.969 and crazy and, you know, sexual harassment all over the 1045 00:54:58.030 --> 00:55:00.750 place and, you know, and cover-ups and the whole deal. 1046 00:55:01.110 --> 00:55:03.769 For me, I say expose them all. Like, but we 1047 00:55:03.809 --> 00:55:06.579 shouldn't be doing it As just, okay, we're going to 1048 00:55:06.599 --> 00:55:09.179 hold on to this until a week before the election, 1049 00:55:09.530 --> 00:55:12.050 and then we're going to weaponize this against the other side, 1050 00:55:12.449 --> 00:55:15.489 because why aren't you weaponizing it against your, like your 1051 00:55:15.510 --> 00:55:17.809 side's doing it too. And I think that that's the 1052 00:55:17.849 --> 00:55:20.070 problem with all of these hit pieces that we're seeing 1053 00:55:20.110 --> 00:55:23.090 going flying all about is that you're trying to craft 1054 00:55:23.130 --> 00:55:25.139 the narrative that the other side is evil, that the 1055 00:55:25.239 --> 00:55:28.400 other side are hypocrites. It's both parties. Both parties are 1056 00:55:28.440 --> 00:55:30.659 doing this. Both parties are sleeping with– there's a reason 1057 00:55:30.760 --> 00:55:36.219 why prostitution is running rampant in Washington, D.C. It's because 1058 00:55:36.699 --> 00:55:39.210 it's Washington, D.C., and it's not just one party or 1059 00:55:39.269 --> 00:55:42.469 the other. It's all the parties. It's everybody in politics. 1060 00:55:42.570 --> 00:55:44.869 I've been in and around the political events. I've been 1061 00:55:44.909 --> 00:55:49.590 in and

around Republican leadership. When you get these guys 1062 00:55:49.889 --> 00:55:52.599 away from the camera, you go over to a bar, 1063 00:55:52.639 --> 00:55:54.280 you have a drink or have dinner or whatever it is, 1064 00:55:54.730 --> 00:55:55.929 a lot of these guys are some of the worst 1065 00:55:55.969 --> 00:55:58.650 scum you can possibly imagine. Like they, they, they truly are. 1066 00:55:58.710 --> 00:56:01.090 They are like, like you, like, you know, and we've 1067 00:56:01.150 --> 00:56:03.510 seen certain videos pop up of some of your favorite, like, 1068 00:56:03.929 --> 00:56:07.539 you know, influencers or commentators or whatever it is. Like, 1069 00:56:07.699 --> 00:56:10.940 they're all just like awful people. Like they truly are. 1070 00:56:11.420 --> 00:56:14.739 And I'm like, These are the people that we elect. 1071 00:56:14.969 --> 00:56:16.349 These are the people that we send our money to. 1072 00:56:16.389 --> 00:56:19.170 These are the people that we quote unquote support. They're 1073 00:56:19.190 --> 00:56:21.670 some of the worst people you can possibly imagine. And 1074 00:56:21.710 --> 00:56:23.789 it's not just one part. It's both parties. They're all 1075 00:56:23.829 --> 00:56:25.050 just awful human beings. 1076 00:56:26.150 --> 00:56:29.489 Well, I remember having this argument over with Scott Stantis, 1077 00:56:29.510 --> 00:56:33.130 who co-hosts the DMZ show with me. He's a conservative. 1078 00:56:33.250 --> 00:56:36.289 And he, about Larry Craig, the wide stance guy from 1079 00:56:36.309 --> 00:56:40.679 the Senator from Idaho in the St. Paul airport. And, 1080 00:56:40.699 --> 00:56:42.800 you know, she, he said, well, why are they picking 1081 00:56:42.820 --> 00:56:44.739 on him? I said, well, because he's a value, a 1082 00:56:44.780 --> 00:56:49.670 family values conservative, right? If you're Ted Kennedy and, you know, 1083 00:56:49.690 --> 00:56:52.730 you're sleeping and you're sleeping with everything that moves, you know, 1084 00:56:52.809 --> 00:56:56.260 he's not telling, he's not pontificating about, you know, morality 1085 00:56:56.320 --> 00:56:59.719 or anything. He never claimed to be a moral, particularly 1086 00:56:59.760 --> 00:57:02.840 moral person. His only promise is, you know, this is 1087 00:57:02.880 --> 00:57:04.760 the way I'll vote. And, you know, and one of 1088 00:57:04.800 --> 00:57:08.260 the ways I'll vote is pro gay rights. Larry Craig, 1089 00:57:08.440 --> 00:57:11.219 there's a hypocrisy thing. I mean, there is, I mean, 1090 00:57:11.260 --> 00:57:12.420 there's something to that, right? 1091 00:57:12.460 --> 00:57:15.190 I mean, well, I think, I think that there, I 1092 00:57:15.210 --> 00:57:18.710 think that there is, there is something to that. I think, 1093 00:57:18.869 --> 00:57:22.190 I think that the other side is that the position, like, 1094 00:57:22.210 --> 00:57:25.929 for example, the young Turks are, And there's been a 1095 00:57:25.969 --> 00:57:28.420 lot of things I've been agreeing with with Cenk as 1096 00:57:28.460 --> 00:57:30.699 of late, you know, in a lot of his criticisms of, 1097 00:57:30.780 --> 00:57:32.699 you know, Trump and like all that kind of stuff. 1098 00:57:33.179 --> 00:57:35.780 But the fact that he's that he's doing that, he's 1099 00:57:36.219 --> 00:57:40.219 making putting out this documentary, exposing Lindsey Graham or whatever 1100 00:57:40.260 --> 00:57:46.750 it is, it's look at how bad he is. And, like, again, 1101 00:57:46.849 --> 00:57:50.719 you're not looking at your side. And I think that 1102 00:57:50.739 --> 00:57:53.739 the problem with this is that, like, Lindsey Graham, again, 1103 00:57:54.039 --> 00:57:57.960 he's a traditional Republican. He's a neocon, whatever it is. Like, 1104 00:57:58.079 --> 00:58:01.739 he's not, like, an evangelical leader and a super family. Like, 1105 00:58:02.679 --> 00:58:06.440 he'll say family values stuff because he's Republican, but he's not, like, 1106 00:58:06.500 --> 00:58:09.809 the champion of, like, you know, like, super family organization 1107 00:58:09.829 --> 00:58:11.449 where you got to be super Christian all the time 1108 00:58:11.469 --> 00:58:14.289 and all that kind of stuff. And so from that standpoint, 1109 00:58:14.610 --> 00:58:16.889 it's like you're painting the Republican Party as the party 1110 00:58:16.929 --> 00:58:19.769 of family values, and thus anybody who's a Republican Party 1111 00:58:20.269 --> 00:58:23.690 now is a champion for those values. And so we 1112 00:58:23.710 --> 00:58:26.969 need to take them down a peg. The problem that 1113 00:58:26.989 --> 00:58:31.739 we have is like, okay, but who's really better? When 1114 00:58:31.780 --> 00:58:33.800 you think about it, Lindsey Graham or somebody on the 1115 00:58:33.820 --> 00:58:36.559 left doing the exact same thing. I think that's the 1116 00:58:36.579 --> 00:58:38.400 problem that I have, and this is where, for me, 1117 00:58:38.440 --> 00:58:41.269 I'm like, Politics is two sides of the same coin. 1118 00:58:41.429 --> 00:58:45.090 Both parties are corrupt. Both parties are awful. And at 1119 00:58:45.110 --> 00:58:48.289 a certain point, let's just expose all the corruption. I 1120 00:58:48.309 --> 00:58:50.730 want to expose it all. Like, let's take out the Republicans. 1121 00:58:50.989 --> 00:58:53.380 Let's take out the Democrats. I'm sick of the corruption 1122 00:58:53.510 --> 00:58:56.219 in the bureaucracies and the FBI and the DOJ. And, like, 1123 00:58:56.559 --> 00:58:58.719 I could just go down the laundry list of all 1124 00:58:58.800 --> 00:59:01.429 the horrible things that are going on out there. But 1125 00:59:01.429 --> 00:59:05.690 I I did find it interesting though, um, that, uh, that, uh, one, one, 1126 00:59:05.809 --> 00:59:07.909 I forget, was it Tyler or something or other from 1127 00:59:07.949 --> 00:59:12.260 turning point USA? Um, you know, somebody shared, uh, the, 1128 00:59:12.340

--> 00:59:14.940 the documentary and was like, you know, Lindsey Graham was, 1129 00:59:14.960 --> 00:59:17.659 you know, sleeping with underage boys and this and that 1130 00:59:17.719 --> 00:59:20.900 and hookers and whatever. And he, and he shared it from, 1131 00:59:20.980 --> 00:59:23.159 and this is one of the, it's like the spokesperson 1132 00:59:23.199 --> 00:59:26.030 of turning point USA. And, uh, they're like, Oh, we, 1133 00:59:26.190 --> 00:59:27.710 we all knew this. This isn't a big deal. And 1134 00:59:27.730 --> 00:59:29.929 I'm like, So you knew that he was sleeping with 1135 00:59:30.090 --> 00:59:32.150 underage boys and hookers and you're not going to be like, 1136 00:59:32.639 --> 00:59:34.590 somebody should probably call the cops on this guy. Like 1137 00:59:35.239 --> 00:59:37.699 nobody was like, that's my thing is like, I think 1138 00:59:37.719 --> 00:59:38.199 that's it. 1139 00:59:38.239 --> 00:59:38.400 Yeah. 1140 00:59:38.440 --> 00:59:40.840 That's very illegal and very wrong. 1141 00:59:41.019 --> 00:59:43.219 Very. And so for me, I'm looking at this like, okay, 1142 00:59:43.800 --> 00:59:46.079 we all had a hunch and we all knew that 1143 00:59:46.260 --> 00:59:51.400 Lindsey Graham was secretly closeted. Like that's couldn't prove anything. 1144 00:59:51.500 --> 00:59:51.719 Right. 1145 00:59:51.940 --> 00:59:55.409 Right. But like, don't share the video that's talking about 1146 00:59:55.449 --> 00:59:59.210 like hookers and underage boys and then and then be like, yeah, 1147 00:59:59.289 --> 01:00:01.000 we all knew this kind of a thing was happening. 1148 01:00:01.019 --> 01:00:03.239 This isn't a shocker. It's like this should be a 1149 01:00:03.320 --> 01:00:05.619 shocker or else. Why didn't you call the cops? You 1150 01:00:05.639 --> 01:00:05.960 know what I mean? 1151 01:00:06.730 --> 01:00:08.610 Well, no, I mean, I do know what you mean. 1152 01:00:08.650 --> 01:00:11.190 I feel like that is a huge thing, right? Like, 1153 01:00:11.210 --> 01:00:13.519 you know, you talk about all the people going out 1154 01:00:13.559 --> 01:00:16.039 in D.C. for drinks and, you know, hitting the bar 1155 01:00:16.460 --> 01:00:20.300 and behaving badly. And that is definitely a bipartisan thing. And, 1156 01:00:20.960 --> 01:00:22.929 you know, I mean, I always kind of wonder, like, 1157 01:00:23.349 --> 01:00:25.840 you know, it's like in England, whenever you find an 1158 01:00:26.050 --> 01:00:28.320 MP hanging from the ceiling of a dungeon with a 1159 01:00:28.380 --> 01:00:30.940 ball gag in his mouth, it's usually a Tory, you know, 1160 01:00:30.960 --> 01:00:33.679 not a Labour Party person. And it's like, DC's a 1161 01:00:33.719 --> 01:00:37.300 very buttoned up place, even for Democrats, right? They're uptight. They, 1162 01:00:37.639 --> 01:00:40.260 you know, they dress like it's, you know, like it's 1163 01:00:40.280 --> 01:00:43.610 the place where Laura Ashley never went away. You know, 1164 01:00:43.659 --> 01:00:46.710 it's like, it's just, it's seemingly, and people like that 1165 01:00:46.750 --> 01:00:50.809 tend to be, repressed people, tend to have dirty secrets, right? 1166 01:00:51.110 --> 01:00:54.380 I think if Lindsey Graham had been a liberal Democrat, 1167 01:00:54.780 --> 01:00:58.079 he could have lived as an out gay man and 1168 01:00:58.099 --> 01:01:00.360 it would have been fine and nothing would have happened 1169 01:01:00.440 --> 01:01:03.800 and whatever. We're at the end of the hour. So 1170 01:01:04.579 --> 01:01:07.380 we got you for that hour and really appreciate it. 1171 01:01:07.469 --> 01:01:08.849 And please come back soon. 1172 01:01:09.309 --> 01:01:11.909 Oh yeah, definitely would love to.

Jeff, if 1184 01:01:44.010 --> 01:01:48.070 you're just joining the show, Jamal is out this week. 1185 01:01:48.130 --> 01:01:49.869 I'm not really sure what day, Robbie, what day is 1186 01:01:49.909 --> 01:01:51.210 he coming back? Is he back Friday? 1187 01:01:52.769 --> 01:01:56.940 I have no idea. His schedule is definitely open for interpretation. 1188 01:01:57.940 --> 01:02:00.659 So it could be Friday. It could be next Monday. 1189 01:02:00.719 --> 01:02:02.059 It could be the, I have no idea. 1190 01:02:03.380 --> 01:02:03.639 All right. 1191 01:02:03.760 --> 01:02:08.969 Well, and one thing, the chat over on, telegram i 1192 01:02:09.010 --> 01:02:11.329 don't know where i don't know which chats is able 1193 01:02:11.369 --> 01:02:14.130 to see but much of them are just spinning so 1194 01:02:14.150 --> 01:02:15.750 a lot of the questions i've been submitting i don't 1195 01:02:15.789 --> 01:02:18.050 think you can actually see them so whenever you're ready 1196 01:02:18.090 --> 01:02:19.869 let me know and i'll start reading the questions off 1197 01:02:19.889 --> 01:02:20.190 to you. 1198 01:02:20.590 --> 01:02:22.980 Oh okay um they're spinning what do you mean spinning. 1199 01:02:23.239 --> 01:02:26.139 Uh just have the uh the the spit the spinning 1200 01:02:26.239 --> 01:02:29.139 wheel of

death like telegram is trying to upload them 1201 01:02:29.219 --> 01:02:30.260 and but. 1202 01:02:30.199 --> 01:02:33.139 They're just okay yeah you know there's been uh the 1203 01:02:33.260 --> 01:02:38.550 purgatory The Internet's been acting squirrelly for a better part 1204 01:02:38.590 --> 01:02:41.369 of a week due to this PHP problem, which I 1205 01:02:41.389 --> 01:02:46.280 know you're familiar with. So, yeah, the whole global Internet 1206 01:02:46.320 --> 01:02:49.360 has been acting very strange. And if you've been noticing 1207 01:02:49.619 --> 01:02:54.079 AI working slow or whatever, that might be why. 1208 01:02:54.480 --> 01:02:56.300 Look at what happened with us on the Bible study 1209 01:02:56.519 --> 01:02:59.989 on Friday. The atheist had to keep the needle moving 1210 01:03:00.050 --> 01:03:02.309 on a Bible study podcast for a solid six or 1211 01:03:02.349 --> 01:03:03.710 seven minutes, which is amazing. 1212 01:03:05.139 --> 01:03:08.380 Yeah, well, I did the least bad I was capable 1213 01:03:08.460 --> 01:03:11.949 of doing. I hope I wasn't too terrible. All right, 1214 01:03:11.989 --> 01:03:13.710 if you're just joining us, this is the second hour 1215 01:03:13.909 --> 01:03:19.230 of the program. Jamal is out probably through Thursday. He 1216 01:03:19.250 --> 01:03:22.070 had told us he wanted four days off, but when 1217 01:03:22.110 --> 01:03:24.130 we get more guidance from Jamal, we'll let you know 1218 01:03:24.170 --> 01:03:27.960 when he's coming back. I'm assuming Friday, but could be earlier, 1219 01:03:28.019 --> 01:03:32.599 could be later. And we just had Jeff Dornick, CEO 1220 01:03:32.619 --> 01:03:36.760 of Pickaxe, fill in. Jeff might be back Wednesday to 1221 01:03:36.780 --> 01:03:40.340 do the same thing. So let us know about that, Robbie. 1222 01:03:40.380 --> 01:03:43.739 Robbie is going to sit in the Jamaril seat for 1223 01:03:43.780 --> 01:03:46.289 the second hour. This is also the Q & A 1224 01:03:46.349 --> 01:03:49.789 part of the show. So if you have a question, 1225 01:03:50.309 --> 01:03:52.590 please like, follow, and share. And please post that question 1226 01:03:53.090 --> 01:03:55.789 in the live chat in the 10 o'clock hour Eastern 1227 01:03:55.829 --> 01:03:59.619 time on this Monday, October 26th. If you're watching later, 1228 01:03:59.739 --> 01:04:01.429 you know, watch live if you want to be able 1229 01:04:01.449 --> 01:04:04.989 to ask questions. You can also send us an email 1230 01:04:05.070 --> 01:04:07.909 to ask us questions or leave a voicemail even, and 1231 01:04:07.929 --> 01:04:12.670 we can even play it at deprogrampodcast at gmail.com. Okay, 1232 01:04:13.699 --> 01:04:19.039 enough of that. Okay, so do you have any thoughts 1233 01:04:19.079 --> 01:04:20.679 about the Lindsey Graham thing before we move on? 1234 01:04:21.530 --> 01:04:23.989 I think that the fact that he was a sword 1235 01:04:24.050 --> 01:04:26.869 swallower is a non sequitur. The fact is that he 1236 01:04:27.050 --> 01:04:32.409 was a disgusting, warmongering, bloodthirsty goblin who is roasting in 1237 01:04:32.469 --> 01:04:36.090 hell right now is outstanding. And I think that's something 1238 01:04:36.139 --> 01:04:38.139 that people on the left and the right can agree. 1239 01:04:39.000 --> 01:04:41.380 Hell was created for people just like hell. 1240 01:04:43.679 --> 01:04:45.739 I really hope, you know, at times like this, I 1241 01:04:45.780 --> 01:04:50.079 really hope hell exists. It does. It's real. All right. 1242 01:04:50.159 --> 01:04:52.429 Let's have some. Oh, I think I see all the 1243 01:04:52.469 --> 01:04:55.610 questions coming up. Start slowly. Okay, here we go. 1244 01:04:55.809 --> 01:04:56.510 Ah, success. 1245 01:04:56.949 --> 01:04:59.469 They came up. All right. Let's see what questions we have. 1246 01:05:00.230 --> 01:05:00.710 All right. 1247 01:05:01.449 --> 01:05:05.510 It's like the first one will be the one from 1248 01:05:05.630 --> 01:05:08.420 Philip Blair about Blood Libel. Did you see that one? 1249 01:05:08.449 --> 01:05:09.750 I put it on the APAC ad that I found. 1250 01:05:09.809 --> 01:05:12.010 All right. I got you. Okay. 1251 01:05:12.190 --> 01:05:13.769 I didn't see the grocery store ad, but I found 1252 01:05:13.789 --> 01:05:16.539 that APAC ad that we played. And it takes a 1253 01:05:16.579 --> 01:05:20.159 lot to really honestly make... I get pissed off about things, 1254 01:05:20.219 --> 01:05:22.639 but as far as making me mad, it takes a 1255 01:05:22.679 --> 01:05:24.079 lot for a political ad to make me mad. That 1256 01:05:24.099 --> 01:05:25.679 AIPAC ad pissed me off. 1257 01:05:26.599 --> 01:05:27.940 Well, what pissed you off about it? 1258 01:05:28.679 --> 01:05:33.820 Just the gall. Why Israel matters to America. Why America 1259 01:05:33.940 --> 01:05:39.280 needs this little piss-ant, racist, disgusting country on the eastern 1260 01:05:39.320 --> 01:05:43.440 bank of the Mediterranean that contributes absolutely nothing. It's a leech. 1261 01:05:44.079 --> 01:05:44.699 It's hilarious. 1262 01:05:44.880 --> 01:05:47.739 They claim that, like, You know, they provide vital intelligence. 1263 01:05:47.780 --> 01:05:53.679 It's like, be serious. We have 330 million people. They 1264 01:05:53.719 --> 01:05:57.360 don't even have 10 million people. I mean, seriously, this 1265 01:05:57.380 --> 01:06:00.880 would be like, you know, why Lichtenstein matters to America. 1266 01:06:01.619 --> 01:06:08.840 Without Lichtenstein, America could die. If that's true, we deserve 1267 01:06:08.880 --> 01:06:12.219 to die. We're too weak to live. 1268 01:06:13.130 --> 01:06:16.090 Listen, in fairness, Lichtenstein is the world's largest producer of 1269 01:06:16.130 --> 01:06:19.309 false teeth. So if you've got to have that, at 1270 01:06:19.349 --> 01:06:23.289 least they produce something of value. What exactly of value 1271 01:06:23.349 --> 01:06:24.250 does Israel

produce? 1272 01:06:24.780 --> 01:06:28.079 Well, they used to be known for their tech sector, right? 1273 01:06:28.139 --> 01:06:31.739 Like Waze was an Israeli company before Google bought it. 1274 01:06:34.619 --> 01:06:38.119 But I mean, that's because these corporations are all multinational. 1275 01:06:38.579 --> 01:06:40.880 People keep saying, well, Google is an American company. No, 1276 01:06:40.960 --> 01:06:46.150 it's not. It's a multinational company. I don't even know 1277 01:06:46.170 --> 01:06:49.210 what that even means anymore. So just because your corporate 1278 01:06:49.250 --> 01:06:54.409 headquarters is in Seattle or in Tel Aviv doesn't mean 1279 01:06:54.449 --> 01:06:57.389 that you're going to represent the interests of the place 1280 01:06:57.409 --> 01:06:58.750 of which you're based in. 1281 01:07:00.150 --> 01:07:00.309 Right. 1282 01:07:00.849 --> 01:07:01.030 Right. 1283 01:07:02.030 --> 01:07:05.500 So let's catch up on the questions. Keep them coming. 1284 01:07:05.719 --> 01:07:09.329 Philip Blair. average classroom size in Cuba is eight to 1285 01:07:09.329 --> 01:07:12.519 10 students per one teacher. Average classroom size in California 1286 01:07:12.539 --> 01:07:16.219 is 24 to 27 students per one teacher. Um, Cubans 1287 01:07:16.260 --> 01:07:22.400 don't want our overcrowded broken schools. Um, plurry Paul, maybe 1288 01:07:22.460 --> 01:07:24.789 someone will have some balls in this next batch of 1289 01:07:25.230 --> 01:07:28.230 house reps. Don't always agree with Massey, but props to 1290 01:07:28.250 --> 01:07:35.599 him for finding ways. Um, with Gaddafi, uh, America first 1291 01:07:35.960 --> 01:07:39.920 is like America struggling compared to the rest of the world. 1292 01:07:40.400 --> 01:07:43.139 America first is probably why most of the world hates Americans. 1293 01:07:44.050 --> 01:07:47.650 I don't think that's true. I think if Americans focused 1294 01:07:47.670 --> 01:07:52.530 more inward, the rest of the world would like us better, actually. Pluripal, 1295 01:07:52.570 --> 01:07:55.429 no more Christmas would rock. Fuck those corporations who depend 1296 01:07:55.489 --> 01:07:56.869 upon it for their revenue. 1297 01:08:00.130 --> 01:08:02.570 I actually agree with that, by the way. Christmas is 1298 01:08:02.590 --> 01:08:03.369 too commercialized. 1299 01:08:04.170 --> 01:08:04.329 Yeah. 1300 01:08:05.250 --> 01:08:10.250 I would think you would agree with that. Cameron Bryan. 1301 01:08:10.309 --> 01:08:13.590 I was deceived and betrayed by Trump. Now I'm 100% 1302 01:08:13.590 --> 01:08:17.189 MAGA dissident and reading Marx, Lenin, Ho Chi Minh, and Mao. 1303 01:08:17.770 --> 01:08:21.939 Don't forget Ted Rall. Let's see. Okay, question for me 1304 01:08:22.020 --> 01:08:25.279 from Philip. How is it that different from Strom Thurmond 1305 01:08:25.300 --> 01:08:27.909 being a segregationist? while the mother of his child is 1306 01:08:27.949 --> 01:08:30.289 a black woman. I think it's exactly the same thing. 1307 01:08:31.050 --> 01:08:34.289 You know, I mean, that was the hypocrisy. It's like 1308 01:08:34.569 --> 01:08:37.510 if Strom Thurmond had, you know, he had a mixed 1309 01:08:37.569 --> 01:08:41.460 race child with a black woman, and if he had been, 1310 01:08:41.479 --> 01:08:47.359 you know, not a virulent racist and segregationist in his 1311 01:08:47.460 --> 01:08:51.079 public politics, as opposed to in his private life, there 1312 01:08:51.100 --> 01:08:54.710 would have been nothing there to report. As with Lindsey Graham, 1313 01:08:54.750 --> 01:08:57.819 it was an open secret in official Washington. Everyone knew 1314 01:08:57.880 --> 01:09:00.939 and everyone covered up for Strom Thurmond. But I think 1315 01:09:00.979 --> 01:09:07.159 it's exactly the same. You know, it's disgusting. Yeah, agreed. 1316 01:09:07.939 --> 01:09:10.430 Juan Don, did you see Trump at a rally a 1317 01:09:10.439 --> 01:09:12.909 few days ago boasting about the poverty rate for different 1318 01:09:12.949 --> 01:09:15.789 groups of people? He said something like, the numbers are 1319 01:09:15.810 --> 01:09:19.270 the highest it's ever been. It's great. I did not 1320 01:09:19.350 --> 01:09:27.510 see that, but that does not sound impossible. Okay. Please, please. 1321 01:09:27.569 --> 01:09:30.670 We need your support guys. We haven't seen a single 1322 01:09:30.710 --> 01:09:34.260 dollar in this entire show. And I don't know why 1323 01:09:34.340 --> 01:09:38.199 people are just not donating, but I know the economy's bad, 1324 01:09:38.260 --> 01:09:40.619 but if you can afford to it to support the 1325 01:09:40.659 --> 01:09:42.039 show and you like the show and you want the 1326 01:09:42.079 --> 01:09:45.630 show to keep going, don't be surprised if it goes 1327 01:09:45.670 --> 01:09:47.770 away one day because we don't have any money. So 1328 01:09:48.430 --> 01:09:53.300 please go ahead and consider subscribing. In fact, don't consider subscribing. 1329 01:09:53.680 --> 01:09:57.359 Just subscribe. $ 5 a month supports the show. $ 10 a 1330 01:09:57.460 --> 01:09:59.380 month gets you a closing credit at the end of 1331 01:09:59.399 --> 01:10:03.020 the show. And $ 20 gets you exclusive content. In fact, 1332 01:10:03.050 --> 01:10:06.770 the exclusive content for this month, we're currently got to 1333 01:10:06.789 --> 01:10:09.510 work out with Trent. Probably got to wait for Jamal 1334 01:10:09.529 --> 01:10:13.529 to come back before we do that. But we know 1335 01:10:13.710 --> 01:10:17.140 we owe you an exclusive show for the month of October. 1336 01:10:17.850 --> 01:10:20.210 So that's going to be coming up either this week 1337 01:10:20.229 --> 01:10:26.250 or next week. All right here. And PhD Nick Rivera says, 1338 01:10:26.630 --> 01:10:30.310 Strom was a racist, but he was a good father. Yeah, 1339 01:10:30.430 --> 01:10:35.970 that's true. Apparently he reportedly was a good father. Very strange.

1340 01:10:37.350 --> 01:10:38.850 You know, it makes me wonder if he was even 1341 01:10:38.930 --> 01:10:43.060 really truly a racist in his real personal life. It 1342 01:10:43.229 --> 01:10:46.500 was just a posture that he did for work. Well, 1343 01:10:46.520 --> 01:10:49.380 I mean... Does it matter? 1344 01:10:50.659 --> 01:10:55.840 What does the term even mean? I mean, it's the word, 1345 01:10:55.960 --> 01:10:59.510 it's kind of like anti-Semite and racist. Those two words 1346 01:10:59.520 --> 01:11:03.909 have been used so much that they've lost all meaning. 1347 01:11:04.130 --> 01:11:09.310 It's kind of like whacking a pinata. It's just, it's overused. 1348 01:11:10.170 --> 01:11:12.270 What the word racist means now probably didn't mean the 1349 01:11:12.310 --> 01:11:14.630 same thing it made when you were a kid, Ted. 1350 01:11:14.689 --> 01:11:18.100 I mean, who the hell knows? Speaking of Ted, I've 1351 01:11:18.140 --> 01:11:23.550 got some breaking news for y'all. In the Montana congressional race, 1352 01:11:24.090 --> 01:11:27.130 there is a single vote that is being mailed out today. 1353 01:11:27.329 --> 01:11:32.649 Ted Rall is now officially a candidate for District 1 1354 01:11:32.649 --> 01:11:34.789 in Montana. 1355 01:11:35.350 --> 01:11:39.119 Would I legally... In the extremely unlikely chance that I 1356 01:11:39.319 --> 01:11:43.399 am to prevail and become a duly elected representative for 1357 01:11:43.560 --> 01:11:46.939 the first district of the state of Montana... Would I 1358 01:11:46.979 --> 01:11:52.119 be disqualified because of lack of residency? Probably, right? Who knows? 1359 01:11:53.119 --> 01:11:58.510 I believe so. But that's okay, because it seems unlikely. Although, 1360 01:11:58.789 --> 01:12:00.310 you know, hey, if the fix is in.... 1361 01:12:01.930 --> 01:12:05.350 Well, I mean, the odds are that you'll only get 1362 01:12:05.590 --> 01:12:06.069 one vote. 1363 01:12:07.149 --> 01:12:09.590 I would think so. What about Kizzy? 1364 01:12:10.750 --> 01:12:11.890 I can get Kizzy to vote for you. 1365 01:12:12.630 --> 01:12:14.369 Okay, there you go. It's like. 1366 01:12:15.850 --> 01:12:18.710 My vote's just increased by 100%. Yeah, it did. 1367 01:12:18.930 --> 01:12:22.329 Unfortunately, Thomas doesn't turn 18 until next year, so he 1368 01:12:22.369 --> 01:12:25.189 can't legally vote. I mean, he grudges a Democrat than vote, 1369 01:12:25.229 --> 01:12:25.550 I guess. 1370 01:12:26.430 --> 01:12:32.079 There you go. Is he still angry at me? Well, 1371 01:12:32.100 --> 01:12:34.640 I don't know if he was angry at me for 1372 01:12:34.739 --> 01:12:36.060 telling him not to join the Marines. 1373 01:12:37.260 --> 01:12:39.699 He's angry at both of us about that, but he'll 1374 01:12:39.720 --> 01:12:43.850 get over it. It's from love, though. That's what I 1375 01:12:43.869 --> 01:12:45.729 told him. I said, the only reason that we even 1376 01:12:45.750 --> 01:12:47.310 brought that up is because we both love him and 1377 01:12:47.340 --> 01:12:47.880 we care about him. 1378 01:12:48.680 --> 01:12:51.180 Yeah, that's exactly it. It's like we're not trying to 1379 01:12:51.239 --> 01:12:55.659 humiliate him or anything. All right. So, all right. So 1380 01:12:55.699 --> 01:12:59.159 let's talk about the elections and we'll talk about whatever 1381 01:12:59.260 --> 01:13:01.960 else everybody else wants to talk about. So if you 1382 01:13:01.979 --> 01:13:04.289 have questions, oh, I guess you want to throw in, 1383 01:13:04.300 --> 01:13:06.359 I mean, nobody takes us up on this. So fuck 1384 01:13:06.380 --> 01:13:09.229 the phone calls. Nobody ever, nobody ever calls. If people 1385 01:13:09.270 --> 01:13:10.829 want to call, they can put in the chat that 1386 01:13:10.869 --> 01:13:13.840 they want to call. Then we will, 100%. 1387 01:13:13.840 --> 01:13:17.180 If somebody wants to call in, I'll turn it on. 1388 01:13:17.220 --> 01:13:18.560 I'm just going to turn it on. You said sit 1389 01:13:18.600 --> 01:13:19.579 there for no reason at all. 1390 01:13:20.340 --> 01:13:21.079 Yeah, there's no point. 1391 01:13:21.899 --> 01:13:26.359 Be courageous. If you want to come on and talk 1392 01:13:26.500 --> 01:13:29.760 to Ted live, I'll click the button. 1393 01:13:30.979 --> 01:13:32.619 What's this new thing? Do you see this on the 1394 01:13:32.699 --> 01:13:36.399 upper right-hand corner of the crumble screen? Run ad now? 1395 01:13:37.319 --> 01:13:37.949 Yeah. 1396 01:13:38.390 --> 01:13:38.930 What is that? 1397 01:13:39.960 --> 01:13:42.420 Do you remember when we were doing the ad reads? 1398 01:13:42.939 --> 01:13:45.039 Yeah, it was still good. 1399 01:13:45.079 --> 01:13:46.970 You can actually just plug them in where they will 1400 01:13:47.010 --> 01:13:52.069 run automatically without you having to go in and read 1401 01:13:52.090 --> 01:13:55.850 it yourself. That just went live yesterday. 1402 01:13:56.390 --> 01:14:00.050 Let's see what happens if you do this. It's sort 1403 01:14:00.069 --> 01:14:03.399 of the top of the hour. Let's see. At launch, 1404 01:14:03.760 --> 01:14:09.310 mid-roll ads run for 30 seconds. Okay. But I don't 1405 01:14:09.329 --> 01:14:10.399 see any ads underneath it. 1406 01:14:11.789 --> 01:14:12.640 Yep. You have to build it. 1407 01:14:12.890 --> 01:14:14.069 Like you have to actually build the ad. 1408 01:14:14.939 --> 01:14:19.199 Oh, really? Okay. And there's an ad for Keet. What are, 1409 01:14:19.260 --> 01:14:19.840 what is that? 1410 01:14:20.340 --> 01:14:20.720 No idea. 1411 01:14:22.000 --> 01:14:28.960 Huh? Keet is, what is it? Oh, it's a encryption technology. 1412 01:14:29.779 --> 01:14:29.979 Huh? 1413 01:14:30.699 --> 01:14:30.920 Okay. 1414 01:14:32.720 --> 01:14:35.000 Yeah. They're not paying enough. Keet's not paying enough for to, 1415 01:14:35.180 --> 01:14:40.789 to read their ad. So, you know, sorry guys. Okay. 1416 01:14:40.909 --> 01:14:44.409 And

there's Patriot Firearms. They don't pay enough either. Okay. 1417 01:14:44.829 --> 01:14:48.689 So let's go back. All right. Let's talk about the 1418 01:14:48.720 --> 01:14:55.100 Brazilian elections. So Lula, who's the leftist, he's 80 years old. 1419 01:14:55.640 --> 01:14:58.640 He just was reelected to a fourth term. He won 51.8% 1420 01:14:58.640 --> 01:15:03.279 of the vote. He was expected by many to lose. 1421 01:15:03.340 --> 01:15:07.899 This was considered a surprise. This is the first time 1422 01:15:08.520 --> 01:15:13.789 that anyone's overcome a loss in the first round. This 1423 01:15:13.850 --> 01:15:17.689 is a two-round system like France has. And it's the 1424 01:15:17.729 --> 01:15:22.590 first time since 1989 that a presidential candidate came in 1425 01:15:23.689 --> 01:15:26.340 second in the first round and then prevailed in the 1426 01:15:26.380 --> 01:15:32.270 second round. His opponent, Flavio Bolsonaro... of course, son of 1427 01:15:32.340 --> 01:15:37.960 the right-wing Bolsonaro, is disputing the results. He says he's 1428 01:15:38.000 --> 01:15:42.600 calling bullshit because the government, the Lula government, extended the 1429 01:15:42.640 --> 01:15:48.180 voting hours by two additional hours, supposedly due to terrible traffic, which, look, 1430 01:15:48.239 --> 01:15:50.939 in Rio de Janeiro, they are famous for having... I've 1431 01:15:50.960 --> 01:15:56.659 never been, but the traffic is supposed to be absolutely horrendous. But, 1432 01:15:56.699 --> 01:16:01.319 you know, this is also... His father used to constantly... 1433 01:16:02.050 --> 01:16:05.229 disagree and refuse to accept that he had lost. So 1434 01:16:05.250 --> 01:16:07.170 this is kind of like the same old, same old. 1435 01:16:08.609 --> 01:16:17.250 Well, you're missing something here. So Sula appointed his personal attorney. Whatever. 1436 01:16:18.289 --> 01:16:22.729 He appointed his personal attorney to handle this on the 1437 01:16:22.770 --> 01:16:27.619 Supreme Court. I mean, that on its face is a 1438 01:16:27.680 --> 01:16:28.659 conflict of interest. 1439 01:16:28.680 --> 01:16:30.039 What do you mean handle it? 1440 01:16:31.170 --> 01:16:35.300 Well, okay, so he appointed his personal attorney to the 1441 01:16:35.340 --> 01:16:40.720 Brazilian Supreme Court. He then requested, he being Lula, requested 1442 01:16:40.779 --> 01:16:45.479 that his friend extend voting hours for two hours to 1443 01:16:45.520 --> 01:16:48.640 his personal attorney, who now has a vested interest in 1444 01:16:48.680 --> 01:16:54.119 his client winning the presidency. I mean, that is a 1445 01:16:54.140 --> 01:16:56.119 conflict of interest of the highest order. 1446 01:16:56.460 --> 01:16:58.779 That sounds totally not corrupt at all. 1447 01:17:00.020 --> 01:17:05.760 Of course not. But that's the case, though, because is 1448 01:17:05.779 --> 01:17:06.939 the case that Lula is going to make is that 1449 01:17:07.199 --> 01:17:09.479 only his voters were impacted by the bad traffic at 1450 01:17:09.500 --> 01:17:14.189 Sao Paulo and Rio? Of course not. They were stuffing ballots. 1451 01:17:15.069 --> 01:17:19.329 Everyone knows that traffic only affects members of one party 1452 01:17:19.350 --> 01:17:20.229 at any given time. 1453 01:17:21.189 --> 01:17:21.529 Of course. 1454 01:17:22.010 --> 01:17:24.729 That's why every now and then you'll hear like, oh, 1455 01:17:24.750 --> 01:17:28.340 my God, the Chicago. In Chicago, you know, on the 1456 01:17:28.380 --> 01:17:32.380 Ryan Expressway, there was a serious Democrat backup. Sometimes you'll 1457 01:17:32.420 --> 01:17:38.539 hear like, you know, outside JFK Airport, Republicans were backed up. 1458 01:17:38.560 --> 01:17:39.300 You know, that's a thing. 1459 01:17:40.720 --> 01:17:45.050 Yeah, of course, but it only ever affects your voters. So, 1460 01:17:45.109 --> 01:17:48.949 of course, what you're going to do, I mean, Ted, 1461 01:17:49.050 --> 01:17:52.130 you've got to admit that this even makes Chicago politics 1462 01:17:52.170 --> 01:17:52.850 look honest. 1463 01:17:54.210 --> 01:17:55.609 Well, the idea that Brazil- I mean, it is bad. 1464 01:17:56.680 --> 01:18:00.890 The idea that Brazil would have corruption does not surprise me. 1465 01:18:01.189 --> 01:18:03.939 Let me tell you a personal story, as I do 1466 01:18:04.000 --> 01:18:08.000 so often. So back in the 80s, as you know, 1467 01:18:08.039 --> 01:18:10.369 I worked for a Japanese bank. One of our big 1468 01:18:10.409 --> 01:18:15.130 customers was called Albras. That's the state aluminum company of Brazil. 1469 01:18:15.170 --> 01:18:17.609 I don't know if it still exists. But basically, they 1470 01:18:17.670 --> 01:18:24.199 controlled the entire aluminum mining and industry of Brazil, much 1471 01:18:24.500 --> 01:18:30.800 of which was in the Amazon basin. Anyway... They were 1472 01:18:30.899 --> 01:18:34.359 one of a few clients that we had where previous 1473 01:18:35.100 --> 01:18:38.020 loan officers had sent them hundreds of millions of dollars 1474 01:18:38.779 --> 01:18:41.609 and never gotten a signed loan agreement. And every now 1475 01:18:41.649 --> 01:18:45.829 and then, the Albras executives would fly into New York 1476 01:18:46.609 --> 01:18:50.810 and basically go visit prostitutes and go drinking. on the 1477 01:18:50.840 --> 01:18:55.399 taxpayer's dollar, or in this case, their taxpayer's cruzeros. And 1478 01:18:56.579 --> 01:19:00.619 they'd be partying like madmen. And they were supposedly there 1479 01:19:00.659 --> 01:19:03.560 to negotiate the loan agreement after the money that they'd 1480 01:19:03.579 --> 01:19:07.960 already received. It's very fucked up. And they were never around. 1481 01:19:08.479 --> 01:19:12.189 And my boss was always like, call up this bordello 1482 01:19:12.250 --> 01:19:14.949 that Henry Kissinger goes to and see if they have 1483 01:19:14.989 --> 01:19:17.810 any space for our friends and be

good hosts. And 1484 01:19:17.850 --> 01:19:21.130 I'd be like, fuck these guys. They're corrupt assholes who 1485 01:19:21.170 --> 01:19:24.649 are leeching money out of the Brazilian economy. This was 1486 01:19:24.890 --> 01:19:29.069 during the time, during the same exact time that countries, 1487 01:19:29.220 --> 01:19:33.739 including Brazil, were demanding debt forgiveness because of developing world 1488 01:19:33.800 --> 01:19:36.579 debt forgiveness. Like, oh, we can't afford to pay back 1489 01:19:36.640 --> 01:19:41.170 our debts. It's like, meanwhile, they're completely corrupt Anyway, these guys, 1490 01:19:41.189 --> 01:19:43.890 I remember one time I get called into a conference 1491 01:19:43.909 --> 01:19:46.550 room by my boss where the Albras guys are there. 1492 01:19:46.710 --> 01:19:49.829 They flew on diplomatic passports so they don't get searched 1493 01:19:49.869 --> 01:19:53.970 at the airport. They show up and they're using X-Acto 1494 01:19:53.989 --> 01:19:57.060 blades to rip open the linings of their suit jacket, 1495 01:19:57.100 --> 01:20:00.760 their cheap suit jackets, which are packed with cash. And 1496 01:20:00.819 --> 01:20:03.779 he's like, you know, oh, can you tell these guys 1497 01:20:03.819 --> 01:20:05.779 where to exchange? I'm not going to get into too 1498 01:20:05.819 --> 01:20:09.600 much detail beyond this. Suffice to say, you know, can 1499 01:20:09.640 --> 01:20:13.119 you tell them where they can turn these cruzeros into 1500 01:20:13.260 --> 01:20:17.310 US dollars in a way that no government may know 1501 01:20:17.399 --> 01:20:20.590 that it happened? And, you know, it was like, this 1502 01:20:20.630 --> 01:20:26.050 was a routine matter. I mean, they were crazy. And 1503 01:20:26.069 --> 01:20:28.430 I remember during the whole debt, third world debt thing, 1504 01:20:28.939 --> 01:20:32.500 they were threatening to default on one of our big loans. 1505 01:20:33.279 --> 01:20:37.529 And I was like, No, we will fucking go in there. 1506 01:20:37.930 --> 01:20:42.130 We will take over a public park in Rio. We 1507 01:20:42.149 --> 01:20:46.689 will not tolerate it. It's like zero tolerance for default. 1508 01:20:47.329 --> 01:20:49.289 They were just like, but we're third world. It's like, 1509 01:20:49.609 --> 01:20:54.800 you're corrupt. You're not poor. You're corrupt. Brazil is a 1510 01:20:54.909 --> 01:20:58.939 rich country. It's a very rich country with lots of 1511 01:20:59.000 --> 01:21:02.880 natural resources and a vibrant economy. It's like, you're just corrupt. 1512 01:21:03.729 --> 01:21:04.270 No, of course. 1513 01:21:04.649 --> 01:21:06.470 And I guess that's the point that I'm making. I mean, 1514 01:21:07.390 --> 01:21:12.470 if you pretend that you are a democracy, let's just. 1515 01:21:12.630 --> 01:21:13.789 And you lived in Brazil, right? 1516 01:21:14.350 --> 01:21:16.029 I did. So let's just pretend. 1517 01:21:16.050 --> 01:21:17.829 Did you witness any corruption while you were there? 1518 01:21:18.550 --> 01:21:22.050 Oh, all the time. People bribing cops and things. I 1519 01:21:22.130 --> 01:21:24.149 once saw a military policeman shoot some dude right there 1520 01:21:24.170 --> 01:21:25.869 on the beach. It just blew his brains out right 1521 01:21:25.890 --> 01:21:31.229 there on the beach. It was outstanding. It was just wild. 1522 01:21:31.250 --> 01:21:36.550 Just wild. How it was. But the cost of living 1523 01:21:37.510 --> 01:21:43.869 was outstanding. I loved it. Alas, I am here. 1524 01:21:43.890 --> 01:21:53.350 Well, you know, it is what it is. Okay, so let's... Okay, Kilroy, 1525 01:21:53.390 --> 01:21:56.460 thanks very much for the $ 5 donation. We need more 1526 01:21:56.520 --> 01:22:01.340 of you guys. More Kilroys, please. Be like Kilroy. Right-wing pundits, 1527 01:22:01.439 --> 01:22:05.270 he says, are using... France's riots as a scare tactic 1528 01:22:05.310 --> 01:22:08.560 to vote right. That's true. Also saw a post saying 1529 01:22:08.659 --> 01:22:12.029 France didn't honor Israel and is now paying for it. 1530 01:22:13.600 --> 01:22:16.220 First of all, I would say France honored Israel a 1531 01:22:16.260 --> 01:22:18.920 lot more than it ought to have. It's certainly been 1532 01:22:18.960 --> 01:22:20.699 in bed with the Israelis for a long time. 1533 01:22:22.060 --> 01:22:25.520 Well, we know that the Israelis were behind the African 1534 01:22:25.590 --> 01:22:29.550 storming of their Spanish enclaves and that the Israelis considered 1535 01:22:29.590 --> 01:22:33.939 it a punishment to Spain when they were When the 1536 01:22:33.979 --> 01:22:38.079 Moroccan government just opened up the gates and said, here 1537 01:22:38.100 --> 01:22:43.560 you go. Here's your ticket to Spain. Dear Spain, to 1538 01:22:43.600 --> 01:22:46.449 you from Israel with love. It would not surprise me. 1539 01:22:49.010 --> 01:22:52.630 And Kilroy's follow up with a $ 2 donation. Could riots 1540 01:22:52.670 --> 01:22:55.050 in France be stirred up by Israel? I don't think 1541 01:22:55.090 --> 01:22:58.239 that's what's happening. I think that the French don't need 1542 01:22:58.300 --> 01:23:02.119 any help rioting or protesting. They're good at it themselves. 1543 01:23:02.729 --> 01:23:06.569 And this is definitely, I think, organic and authentic in 1544 01:23:06.689 --> 01:23:10.729 every way. I don't have dark suspicions in that respect. 1545 01:23:11.210 --> 01:23:15.050 Although certainly we know there are agent provocateurs who are 1546 01:23:15.149 --> 01:23:20.010 trying to make the protesters look worse by turning peaceful 1547 01:23:20.050 --> 01:23:24.710 protests into riots and so on. But I guess the 1548 01:23:24.750 --> 01:23:26.979 question here is, yeah, I mean, I love the whole 1549 01:23:27.020 --> 01:23:31.520 like the idea that I'm not really sure exactly. Maybe 1550 01:23:31.560 --> 01:23:34.579 you can help me as the resident conservative here,

Robbie, 1551 01:23:34.659 --> 01:23:38.199 to tell me how exactly what's the logic of if 1552 01:23:38.260 --> 01:23:42.039 you vote Democratic. you know, the United States will end 1553 01:23:42.100 --> 01:23:45.260 up looking like France. I mean, Democrats have been in 1554 01:23:45.359 --> 01:23:49.779 power pretty recently. Democrats were in power two years ago 1555 01:23:49.800 --> 01:23:54.409 in the United States, and we didn't have riots. Democrats 1556 01:23:54.449 --> 01:23:57.890 have been in power many times, and we didn't have riots. 1557 01:23:58.310 --> 01:24:01.329 I mean, how does that even make any sense? 1558 01:24:01.789 --> 01:24:02.149 It doesn't. 1559 01:24:02.189 --> 01:24:04.069 That's one of the reasons why Republicans are going to 1560 01:24:04.100 --> 01:24:06.590 get destroyed next month, and I'm looking forward to it. 1561 01:24:06.680 --> 01:24:13.470 I mean, let's be honest. It was... The hero, the 1562 01:24:13.510 --> 01:24:17.810 messiah of the Republican Party, Ronald Reagan, who granted the 1563 01:24:17.909 --> 01:24:21.840 first mass amnesty with the promise that the borders would 1564 01:24:21.880 --> 01:24:24.560 be closed, they were never closed, and it's been under 1565 01:24:24.600 --> 01:24:29.220 both Republican and Democrat administrations that the invasion of the 1566 01:24:29.260 --> 01:24:35.229 United States has continued unabated my entire lifetime. No one's 1567 01:24:35.319 --> 01:24:38.350 buying it anymore. No one's buying the lie. And now 1568 01:24:38.390 --> 01:24:41.550 what's happening is that because they've done too much of it, 1569 01:24:42.390 --> 01:24:46.609 so between immigration and between inflation, the cost of living 1570 01:24:46.899 --> 01:24:50.399 is outpaced wages, and now people just all across the 1571 01:24:50.420 --> 01:24:53.739 political divide are able to look around and say, this 1572 01:24:53.800 --> 01:24:56.779 is not what we voted for. This is wrong. 1573 01:24:59.159 --> 01:25:01.420 Yeah. 1574 01:25:01.619 --> 01:25:05.340 It's like Vivek, okay? So you have this dude who 1575 01:25:05.359 --> 01:25:13.680 runs this horrible ad Using his opponent's estranged mother, who 1576 01:25:14.159 --> 01:25:17.109 allowed her daughter to get raped. I thought it was 1577 01:25:17.130 --> 01:25:19.510 her name, Amy Action. I could be saying her first 1578 01:25:19.529 --> 01:25:22.810 name wrong. I know her last name is Action. And 1579 01:25:22.829 --> 01:25:24.909 then he runs this ad, and then you have the 1580 01:25:24.949 --> 01:25:29.460 likes of Laura Loomer, or Larry Loomer, depending on if 1581 01:25:29.479 --> 01:25:31.800 you believe she's actually a woman or not. She could 1582 01:25:31.819 --> 01:25:35.449 be rolling by crawling style. I don't know. who goes 1583 01:25:35.510 --> 01:25:38.310 out and tells Republicans, if you don't vote for Vivek, 1584 01:25:39.029 --> 01:25:41.050 then you're a racist. The reason why you're not voting 1585 01:25:41.069 -->

01:25:43.189 for him is not because he sucks. It's because he's 1586 01:25:43.229 --> 01:25:46.930 a brown Indian Hindu. In which case, I look and say, 1587 01:25:46.989 --> 01:25:49.630 all of the above is true. He deserves to lose. 1588 01:25:53.869 --> 01:26:00.439 We are getting a request here from... God, let me... Sorry, 1589 01:26:00.489 --> 01:26:02.000 I'm like... No, you're fine. 1590 01:26:02.020 --> 01:26:02.100 Yeah. 1591 01:26:02.949 --> 01:26:04.050 Sorry. Please. 1592 01:26:04.069 --> 01:26:04.390 Okay. 1593 01:26:04.409 --> 01:26:11.600 This is from James. James Dewan. Please do a Patreon 1594 01:26:11.640 --> 01:26:15.460 subscriber drive. We want you to survive and asking subscribers 1595 01:26:15.479 --> 01:26:18.659 to pay monthly empowers us to actually move the needle 1596 01:26:18.779 --> 01:26:23.069 to ensure something we care about survives. So we do 1597 01:26:23.130 --> 01:26:26.270 have a Patreon page. I'm going to pull that up 1598 01:26:28.170 --> 01:26:31.960 and put that up there. But also, can you, Robbie, 1599 01:26:31.979 --> 01:26:34.800 can you sort of break through how people, the different 1600 01:26:34.840 --> 01:26:38.619 ways that people can subscribe to the show? 1601 01:26:39.020 --> 01:26:42.000 Sure. Yeah, I mean, there's several different ways. One way, 1602 01:26:42.039 --> 01:26:45.840 if you're watching on Rumble, which we are still, at 1603 01:26:45.880 --> 01:26:47.539 least as of now, still a member of the creator 1604 01:26:47.560 --> 01:26:50.779 program over there, you can subscribe to Rumble during. 1605 01:26:50.659 --> 01:26:55.020 The live stream. How are we doing on the chats? Chats? Yeah. 1606 01:26:56.680 --> 01:26:59.439 It's going to be tight, but most of what happens, 1607 01:26:59.510 --> 01:27:01.909 I'll be putting together the premium episode and getting more 1608 01:27:01.970 --> 01:27:03.010 shorts and stuff up today. 1609 01:27:03.170 --> 01:27:05.770 We need unique chats, guys. So if you don't normally 1610 01:27:05.810 --> 01:27:09.609 chat and you're watching on Rumble, please just say hi. 1611 01:27:09.750 --> 01:27:11.529 You don't have to do anything else. But right now, 1612 01:27:11.930 --> 01:27:15.859 we need anybody who has not chatted in recent days, months, 1613 01:27:15.939 --> 01:27:18.659 years to just come in and say hi. 1614 01:27:19.039 --> 01:27:22.439 Yeah, because basically, even though Rumble has nuked our pay 1615 01:27:22.479 --> 01:27:25.609 by 98%, Some pay is still better than none. So 1616 01:27:25.649 --> 01:27:29.579 that helps. Just a poop emoji is perfectly fine. Uh, 1617 01:27:29.729 --> 01:27:33.199 on rumble, you become a paid channel subscriber for $ 5 1618 01:27:33.159 --> 01:27:37.399 a month during a live stream on YouTube.

That's patreon.com 1627 01:28:09.850 --> 01:28:13.890 slash C as in Charlie, W as in world, slash 1628 01:28:14.350 --> 01:28:15.590 deprogram podcast. 1629 01:28:16.399 --> 01:28:20.090 Yep. And one thing, I mean, you know, after YouTube 1630 01:28:20.109 --> 01:28:22.880 blew up the creator program, I want y'all to understand 1631 01:28:23.060 --> 01:28:27.600 that I'm putting my money where my mouth is literally. 1632 01:28:28.720 --> 01:28:33.510 I'm doing this for free now because the finances are 1633 01:28:33.750 --> 01:28:39.289 to a point that they can't pay me. So if 1634 01:28:39.329 --> 01:28:42.109 y'all want the show to continue, I mean, those are 1635 01:28:42.130 --> 01:28:44.069 the three ways that you're able to support.

That helps 1643 01:29:06.680 --> 01:29:08.439 me out. That way I'm able to pay my bills too. So, 1644 01:29:08.439 --> 01:29:16.560 I mean, that's the reality. The economics are such that 1645 01:29:16.819 --> 01:29:19.250 the rulers that be are doing their absolute best to 1646 01:29:19.289 --> 01:29:20.810 starve out small independent voices. 1647 01:29:21.850 --> 01:29:22.029 True. 1648 01:29:22.329 --> 01:29:25.229 That's what they're doing. That is that's the play. And 1649 01:29:25.350 --> 01:29:26.289 so for the. 1650 01:29:26.229 --> 01:29:29.789 Price, podcasting is still sort of wild and crazy. And 1651 01:29:30.449 --> 01:29:32.890 I was just listening to Freakonomics yesterday over the weekend. 1652 01:29:34.050 --> 01:29:37.609 And they're talking about how podcasting is is move gravitating. 1653 01:29:37.970 --> 01:29:39.329 The next step is going to be that it's going 1654 01:29:39.350 --> 01:29:42.829 to be corporatized and they're going to turn it all into, 1655 01:29:43.750 --> 01:29:46.180 you know, sort of perfect to try to professionalize it 1656 01:29:46.189 --> 01:29:49.390 like television. that's what they want to do.

So the 1657 01:29:49.470 --> 01:29:52.869 only way individual shows like this can survive is if 1658 01:29:52.909 --> 01:29:56.810 they have a pretty steady viewership with a lot of 1659 01:29:56.850 --> 01:29:59.909 financial support. So they don't, so we can resist that 1660 01:30:00.010 --> 01:30:03.770 kind of, you know, impulse to, I mean, assuming that 1661 01:30:03.810 --> 01:30:06.699 we were asked to sell out that we would even 1662 01:30:06.840 --> 01:30:09.779 be in a position, you know, the, the irony here 1663 01:30:09.840 --> 01:30:13.100 is nobody, we all value our independence. We're too wild 1664 01:30:13.159 --> 01:30:16.140 and crazy. I mean, I've been independent my entire life. 1665 01:30:16.279 --> 01:30:20.079 I've never been on staff anywhere. Um, Robbie, same for you. 1666 01:30:21.319 --> 01:30:23.890 And so this is definitely, you know, it's, it's a 1667 01:30:23.890 --> 01:30:26.090 better approach. I wouldn't want to do it any other way. 1668 01:30:27.590 --> 01:30:30.250 Yeah. And, uh, one thing, I mean, uh, one, no 1669 01:30:30.470 --> 01:30:33.430 Jeff Dornick, the guy who's just on, we are partnering 1670 01:30:33.510 --> 01:30:35.529 up with him on the, on the freedom first network. 1671 01:30:35.569 --> 01:30:37.430 We're doing a lot of things. Ted is going to 1672 01:30:37.449 --> 01:30:40.649 start writing for him. No professional Manila Chan is going 1673 01:30:40.689 --> 01:30:45.010 to be an editor. He's putting together a, uh, a, uh, 1674 01:30:45.170 --> 01:30:48.029 an actual newsroom over there on pickaxe. So, I mean, there's, 1675 01:30:48.680 --> 01:30:50.699 there are things that are happening. It's just, it's harder 1676 01:30:50.720 --> 01:30:53.960 and harder to be independent now without getting in bed 1677 01:30:53.979 --> 01:30:56.319 with corporate oligarchs. And then once you do that, you 1678 01:30:56.359 --> 01:30:59.939 lose your voice. They control you. And that's why we're 1679 01:30:59.960 --> 01:31:03.729 resisting it. That's why we're relying on, on crowdfunding. And, uh, 1680 01:31:03.789 --> 01:31:06.329 Philip asked me, how do I pay my bills? Uh, 1681 01:31:07.350 --> 01:31:11.029 I've worked for a few different shows, uh, producing. So those, 1682 01:31:11.210 --> 01:31:13.489 so they pay me, but I'm listening. I'm not gonna 1683 01:31:13.510 --> 01:31:16.960 lie to you. Uh, no, uh, losing the game with 1684 01:31:16.979 --> 01:31:21.560 John Kariaku, that hurt. Losing the paycheck from this show hurts. Uh, 1685 01:31:22.840 --> 01:31:26.020 YouTube blowing up the creator program that hurt too. So 1686 01:31:26.279 --> 01:31:28.279 the way that I'm able to pay my bills, quite frankly, 1687 01:31:29.060 --> 01:31:31.960 is because people like y'all are going over there, are 1688 01:31:32.000 --> 01:31:36.600 going to West Glacier Gaming on YouTube and becoming channel members. That's, 1689 01:31:37.199 --> 01:31:39.920 that's how it's working. Honest to God. I mean, there's, 1690

01:31:40.199 --> 01:31:43.989 there's nothing fancy about it. And, um, If it comes 1691 01:31:44.029 --> 01:31:46.270 to a point where I cannot pay my bills, I 1692 01:31:46.289 --> 01:31:49.529 will have to tell Ted and JT, I'm sorry, I 1693 01:31:49.550 --> 01:31:51.189 can't do this anymore. I have to get myself a 1694 01:31:51.210 --> 01:31:54.029 real job. And after that, who the hell knows? 1695 01:31:55.819 --> 01:31:58.420 I found, by the way, that ad that we were 1696 01:31:58.460 --> 01:31:59.699 talking about. Oh, good. 1697 01:31:59.739 --> 01:32:00.340 I'll throw it up. 1698 01:32:00.979 --> 01:32:03.399 Go ahead and please put it up. And by the way, 1699 01:32:03.479 --> 01:32:06.100 it's hilarious. So. This is the comment that this is 1700 01:32:06.140 --> 01:32:10.460 from some Zionist. Unless Abdul El-Sayed immediately demands that this 1701 01:32:10.500 --> 01:32:14.260 campaign ad be taken down and unequivocally condemns it and 1702 01:32:14.319 --> 01:32:17.420 its creators, he will be exposed as a vile, dangerous, 1703 01:32:17.500 --> 01:32:21.619 and divisive anti-Semite. Any of my fellow Democrats who condemn 1704 01:32:21.960 --> 01:32:25.079 the disgusting Ramaswamy ad in Ohio but do not condemn 1705 01:32:25.100 --> 01:32:28.500 this deserve our unflinching condemn. We're seeing a lot of 1706 01:32:28.600 --> 01:32:34.199 these like, you know, Zyobot kind of posts here. And 1707 01:32:34.220 --> 01:32:37.550 away we go. All right, let's go ahead and play it. 1708 01:32:38.270 --> 01:32:38.689 All right. 1709 01:32:38.699 --> 01:32:40.710 We've got this puppy right on up here. 1710 01:32:42.350 --> 01:32:46.130 By the way, just watch it. Just think, is it anti-Semitic? 1711 01:32:47.029 --> 01:32:47.750 Think about that. 1712 01:32:49.130 --> 01:32:53.789 How about this? Screw Israel. I'll be anti-Semitic for you. Yeah. 1713 01:32:54.010 --> 01:32:54.670 I know. 1714 01:32:55.130 --> 01:32:56.050 What about the bananas? 1715 01:32:56.529 --> 01:32:59.289 Yeah, I got them too. But honey. 1716 01:33:00.149 --> 01:33:00.310 What? 1717 01:33:00.949 --> 01:33:02.600 You're going to have to put those eggs back. 1718 01:33:02.979 --> 01:33:03.880 They don't like eggs anymore? 1719 01:33:04.390 --> 01:33:07.090 No, they like eggs. But we have to set that 1720 01:33:07.090 --> 01:33:10.409 $ 7 aside. For killing Palestinians? 1721 01:33:11.409 --> 01:33:11.590 What? 1722 01:33:11.609 --> 01:33:14.369 I mean, don't we give Israel $ 4 billion a year anyways? 1723 01:33:14.470 --> 01:33:14.710 Yeah. 1724 01:33:14.989 --> 01:33:19.409 And now we're giving them another $ 26 billion. Do you 1725 01:33:19.430 --> 01:33:21.449 know how much that is per American taxpayer? 1726 01:33:22.489 --> 01:33:22.640 No. 1727 01:33:22.680 --> 01:33:26.579 It's like $ 161 per person. Apparently it's costing us a 1728 01:33:26.640 --> 01:33:29.960 lot of money to drop bombs on Gaza. That's terrible. 1729 01:33:32.430 --> 01:33:33.729 Don't they get universal health care, too? 1730 01:33:33.750 --> 01:33:38.939 Yeah, they do. We're paying for that, too, probably. Might 1731 01:33:38.949 --> 01:33:40.300 as well put the bananas back. 1732 01:33:40.680 --> 01:33:41.779 Why the f * * * do we have to 1733 01:33:41.840 --> 01:33:42.600 pay for all this? 1734 01:33:44.739 --> 01:33:45.760 Don't cuss at me. 1735 01:33:46.960 --> 01:33:49.619 Why does Mike Rogers care so much about what Israelis 1736 01:33:49.659 --> 01:33:51.880 want and so little about what you want? 1737 01:33:52.420 --> 01:33:53.979 Mike Rogers is for. 1738 01:33:55.479 --> 01:34:05.720 They-them. Abdul and Syed is for you. Pretty good ad. 1739 01:34:06.659 --> 01:34:09.670 Yeah, I liked it. And there was nothing anti-Semitic about it. 1740 01:34:10.310 --> 01:34:12.329 It's factual. It's facts. 1741 01:34:13.270 --> 01:34:16.430 Well, the only thing that's wrong is it's not $ 161 1742 01:34:16.289 --> 01:34:20.210 per person. It's a lot more than that because we 1743 01:34:20.250 --> 01:34:24.550 pay interest on anything we spend, right? Because we have 1744 01:34:24.569 --> 01:34:27.989 a massive national debt. So if the U.S. government spends $ 161, 1745 01:34:27.930 --> 01:34:35.600 it's $ 161 plus compound interest in perpetuity. So it's really 1746 01:34:35.720 --> 01:34:37.300 thousands of dollars per person. 1747 01:34:38.699 --> 01:34:41.859 It's crazy because, Ted, me and you have talked about 1748 01:34:41.880 --> 01:34:44.770 this before. Governments really have three ways to raise money. 1749 01:34:45.239 --> 01:34:48.949 The most honest way is through taxation. You tax your 1750 01:34:48.970 --> 01:34:54.930 citizens because governments don't produce anything. The second way is 1751 01:34:55.210 --> 01:34:59.319 by creating debt and then monetizing that debt with bonds 1752 01:34:59.399 --> 01:35:03.899 with the promise of paying the borrower back with interest. 1753 01:35:05.279 --> 01:35:07.100 I mean, that's not ideal, but it's more honest than 1754 01:35:07.119 --> 01:35:08.920 what we've got now. The third way is through just 1755 01:35:09.890 --> 01:35:12.789 rampant inflation, which is what we've got right now, which 1756 01:35:12.850 --> 01:35:15.470 is they just create more and more currency that just 1757 01:35:15.510 --> 01:35:18.909 destroys the value of the money that's in circulation. And 1758 01:35:18.949 --> 01:35:22.189 you're literally at that point borrowing from your future, from 1759 01:35:22.229 --> 01:35:28.029 future generations. That's what we're doing. And so this money 1760 01:35:28.050 --> 01:35:33.170 that we're giving to Israel, my grandkids aren't even conceived yet, 1761 01:35:34.229 --> 01:35:37.789 are already in debt. Think about that. Think about what 1762 01:35:37.810 --> 01:35:40.930 I just said for a second. The next generation of 1763 01:35:40.989 --> 01:35:43.250 Americans that has not even been conceived, they're not a 1764 01:35:43.310 --> 01:35:47.550 gleam in their

daddy's eye, are already in debt. 1765 01:35:48.310 --> 01:35:49.390 Yeah. No, it's horrible. 1766 01:35:50.350 --> 01:35:51.149 And that's what's. 1767 01:35:51.020 --> 01:35:51.439 Going on here. 1768 01:35:51.949 --> 01:35:55.329 And there's nothing anti-Semitic to point that out. Why is 1769 01:35:55.390 --> 01:36:00.350 it that Europe as a whole deserves a single penny 1770 01:36:01.770 --> 01:36:06.569 of American taxpayer defense? They are a sovereign nation, supposedly. True, 1771 01:36:06.909 --> 01:36:09.989 they should be able to take care of themselves. Listen, 1772 01:36:10.050 --> 01:36:12.289 if France wants to have a pension system, then it 1773 01:36:12.310 --> 01:36:14.590 needs to decide, does it want a pension system or 1774 01:36:14.609 --> 01:36:17.149 a military? Because you can't have both. Right now, the 1775 01:36:17.170 --> 01:36:20.510 reason why it has both is because the American taxpayer 1776 01:36:20.569 --> 01:36:23.899 is subsidizing the defense of Europe collectively. The French don't 1777 01:36:23.909 --> 01:36:26.340 have to worry about the Germans getting uppity and backhanding 1778 01:36:26.359 --> 01:36:31.220 them like they want to do every 30 years. I mean, 1779 01:36:31.699 --> 01:36:34.100 that is the reality. It's unpopular, but that's true. And 1780 01:36:34.119 --> 01:36:37.300 there's nothing racist or anti-Semitic about pointing that fact out. 1781 01:36:39.300 --> 01:36:45.819 True. True, true, true. Thanks for the... thanks for the 1782 01:36:46.100 --> 01:36:47.560 donations that are coming in. 1783 01:36:47.930 --> 01:36:48.449 Yeah. 1784 01:36:49.510 --> 01:36:53.590 Ray, thanks for the $ 10 for the cause. Much appreciated. 1785 01:36:55.569 --> 01:36:58.729 Still need more. We definitely need, I mean, to put 1786 01:36:58.750 --> 01:37:04.069 this into perspective, we really should be getting two or 1787 01:37:04.069 --> 01:37:08.020 $ 300 per show to make this work. And we're definitely 1788 01:37:08.060 --> 01:37:09.359 not there. Yeah. 1789 01:37:09.399 --> 01:37:12.079 I mean, as, as people subscribe and stuff, I mean, listen, 1790 01:37:12.199 --> 01:37:15.500 it's going to happen. I believe. And frankly, if it doesn't, 1791 01:37:15.659 --> 01:37:17.560 then the show doesn't continue. 1792 01:37:17.939 --> 01:37:18.800 I mean, that's true. 1793 01:37:19.520 --> 01:37:23.930 I mean, is the program worth the cost of a 1794 01:37:24.020 --> 01:37:24.779 meal at Taco Bell? 1795 01:37:27.449 --> 01:37:30.090 It's a lot safer. You won't get E. 1796 01:37:30.130 --> 01:37:33.750 Coli. But you get the colon cleanse at Taco Bell. 1797 01:37:35.850 --> 01:37:38.720 And look, if you donate enough, I'll give you E. coli. 1798 01:37:39.720 --> 01:37:41.500 Oh, one thing. I have no idea if this is 1799 01:37:41.520 --> 01:37:43.260 going to happen or not, Ted. but we're just going 1800 01:37:43.279 --> 01:37:46.779 to throw this out there. So we had a little 1801 01:37:46.859 --> 01:37:51.340 bonfire

event last night at my church. And my pastor 1802 01:37:51.359 --> 01:37:54.020 started talking to me about whether or not, about my 1803 01:37:54.060 --> 01:37:57.270 stance that Israel is not an exceptional nation and that 1804 01:37:57.359 --> 01:38:00.130 it is somehow held different. I don't know if he's 1805 01:38:00.149 --> 01:38:02.229 going to take me up on this, but I challenged 1806 01:38:02.270 --> 01:38:08.470 him to a debate this Friday on my Bible podcast. 1807 01:38:08.510 --> 01:38:08.850 Ooh. 1808 01:38:09.170 --> 01:38:11.250 Can I play too? 1809 01:38:11.590 --> 01:38:12.470 You would be the moderator. 1810 01:38:13.329 --> 01:38:14.189 Oh, good, good, good. 1811 01:38:14.270 --> 01:38:17.260 I cannot think of a better person to be the moderator. 1812 01:38:17.380 --> 01:38:18.340 Nor can I. 1813 01:38:18.359 --> 01:38:23.180 So if he accepts, it will be yours truly versus 1814 01:38:23.199 --> 01:38:23.979 the pastor. 1815 01:38:25.689 --> 01:38:29.850 I'll make sure everyone stays civilized and in line with God. 1816 01:38:29.880 --> 01:38:33.539 All right. Never thought I'd have that. I never have 1817 01:38:33.579 --> 01:38:34.020 to say that. 1818 01:38:34.920 --> 01:38:37.840 Hey, I'm still working on getting you saved. 1819 01:38:39.100 --> 01:38:39.340 All right. 1820 01:38:39.460 --> 01:38:44.479 Well, it's a heavy lift. All right. Let's talk about. 1821 01:38:44.500 --> 01:38:47.579 All right. So I think so. Okay. Big question I 1822 01:38:47.619 --> 01:38:50.810 have for you about Brazil is. The pundits are saying 1823 01:38:50.850 --> 01:38:53.590 that this kind of breaks, you know, there had been 1824 01:38:53.630 --> 01:38:57.229 like a right wing wave in Latin America. Could this 1825 01:38:57.310 --> 01:38:59.260 be the beginning of the end of that? 1826 01:39:01.239 --> 01:39:04.460 Well, what is right wing government got you? And a 1827 01:39:04.600 --> 01:39:08.199 big shout to Evan Cope, a couple over there on YouTube. 1828 01:39:08.239 --> 01:39:10.039 Thank you for becoming a channel member. Thank you. 1829 01:39:12.159 --> 01:39:13.539 Oh, that's what we need more of. 1830 01:39:13.560 --> 01:39:20.880 I mean, memberships, memberships are the, are, are, Really, that's 1831 01:39:20.899 --> 01:39:24.399 what makes it all work. But seriously, to answer your question, 1832 01:39:24.640 --> 01:39:29.729 what has right-wing government or left-wing government got anyone anywhere? 1833 01:39:31.449 --> 01:39:35.050 Europe is left-wing. You yourself pointed out that the French 1834 01:39:35.109 --> 01:39:39.829 government is left-wing. Why are the French people burning the 1835 01:39:39.850 --> 01:39:43.100 country down? Because the left-wing government doesn't deliver the same 1836 01:39:43.119 --> 01:39:44.479 way that the right-wing government doesn't. 1837 01:39:45.489 --> 01:39:47.869 Yeah, no, well, that's true. And that's going to be 1838 01:39:47.890 --> 01:39:50.899 an interesting thing, right? Like right now, all things being equal, 1839 01:39:51.069 --> 01:39:55.039 hard to imagine Marine Le Pen not winning next year 1840 01:39:55.060 --> 01:39:58.279 and becoming the new president of France. But it's going 1841 01:39:58.300 --> 01:40:00.939 to be interesting to see if she can deliver for 1842 01:40:00.960 --> 01:40:05.039 the French people. You know, obviously she would need coattails. 1843 01:40:05.399 --> 01:40:08.300 She'd need to be able to control parliament, you know, 1844 01:40:08.539 --> 01:40:13.600 by a significant extent. But if she does... You know, 1845 01:40:14.279 --> 01:40:16.579 there's going to be so much pressure on her to 1846 01:40:16.640 --> 01:40:19.770 impose austerity, and that's just going to cause more riots. 1847 01:40:21.430 --> 01:40:23.489 Well, why do you have to impose austerity if you 1848 01:40:23.510 --> 01:40:24.989 can just cut off Ukraine and Israel? 1849 01:40:25.590 --> 01:40:25.970 You could. 1850 01:40:25.989 --> 01:40:30.710 I mean, listen, what I don't understand, and you're the 1851 01:40:30.750 --> 01:40:33.880 French citizen here, so you explain it to me. Why 1852 01:40:34.060 --> 01:40:37.840 is it, and I mean this sincerely, why is it 1853 01:40:37.880 --> 01:40:41.760 that the French people Tolerate staying in the European Union 1854 01:40:41.840 --> 01:40:45.600 when the European Union does nothing at all for the 1855 01:40:45.680 --> 01:40:48.260 French people except suck out the blood of the state. 1856 01:40:50.880 --> 01:40:53.220 What's the point? What benefit does France get out of it? 1857 01:40:53.859 --> 01:40:55.600 The only thing that they get out of it is 1858 01:40:56.220 --> 01:40:59.840 it's easy for a French citizen to live or work 1859 01:40:59.960 --> 01:41:04.239 anywhere in Europe. They don't have any border controls if 1860 01:41:04.260 --> 01:41:09.229 they want to drive to a neighboring country. Those are conveniences. 1861 01:41:09.689 --> 01:41:10.350 It's convenient. 1862 01:41:10.689 --> 01:41:13.609 It's suicide. Okay, so let me point this out to you. 1863 01:41:14.069 --> 01:41:16.630 Let's just say that you lived in France. You're a 1864 01:41:16.829 --> 01:41:19.510 French citizen. Let's just assume that you were going to 1865 01:41:19.569 --> 01:41:24.039 go work in Poland. Does Poland get your taxes or 1866 01:41:24.520 --> 01:41:25.500 does France? 1867 01:41:27.859 --> 01:41:28.539 That's a good question. 1868 01:41:29.039 --> 01:41:32.079 It's the Polish government that does. Now, who is it 1869 01:41:32.100 --> 01:41:35.699 that educated you? It was the French electorate that educated you. 1870 01:41:36.239 --> 01:41:38.760 It was the French education system paid for by the 1871 01:41:38.800 --> 01:41:41.979 French taxpayer who educated you. Then you go to some 1872 01:41:42.020 --> 01:41:44.340 other country and you go work for them. You pay 1873 01:41:44.359 --> 01:41:47.770 them taxes. What benefit are you at that point to 1874 01:41:47.819 -->

01:41:51.750 your home country? You're a liability because you're still entitled 1875 01:41:51.770 --> 01:41:55.489 to the pensions, but you're not paying into them. It 1876 01:41:55.569 --> 01:41:56.449 is suicide. 1877 01:41:57.270 --> 01:41:59.409 Oh, another thing is the legacy of World War II 1878 01:41:59.470 --> 01:42:02.369 and World War I. A lot of Europeans, including Frenchmen, 1879 01:42:04.430 --> 01:42:08.289 believe that like there's a stronger chance with the European integration, uh, 1880 01:42:09.189 --> 01:42:10.710 there's less chance of another war. 1881 01:42:11.449 --> 01:42:15.430 That's stupid because you can't pay for it. What you're 1882 01:42:15.449 --> 01:42:17.569 going to do is that whenever nations get desperate, they 1883 01:42:17.600 --> 01:42:20.739 start doing irrational things like starting wars with their neighbors. 1884 01:42:24.119 --> 01:42:30.319 So I'm looking up the, um, so let's see. Um, yeah, 1885 01:42:30.340 --> 01:42:34.960 basically France has very mixed views toward, uh, towards the 1886 01:42:35.039 --> 01:42:44.949 European Union. 47% of Frenchmen view the EU unfavorably, and 1887 01:42:44.949 --> 01:42:48.949 52% view it favorably. So it's 50-50. On the opposite 1888 01:42:49.010 --> 01:42:52.909 sides of that, only one other country views the EU 1889 01:42:53.020 --> 01:42:56.720 more unfavorably, and that's Greece, ironic since they've gotten so 1890 01:42:56.760 --> 01:42:59.939 much money from the EU. And Sweden views it the 1891 01:43:00.000 --> 01:43:06.439 most unfavorably. Sorry, most favorably. 79% in Sweden like it, 1892 01:43:06.439 --> 01:43:07.340 20% are against it. 1893 01:43:07.859 --> 01:43:10.710 Well, of course it does because Sweden is just, they 1894 01:43:10.869 --> 01:43:14.850 are the Ukraine of Central Europe. They're sucking out the 1895 01:43:14.890 --> 01:43:18.869 resources for the more productive states. Okay, what is Sweden 1896 01:43:18.909 --> 01:43:21.470 famous for? No-go zones and Malmo. 1897 01:43:22.069 --> 01:43:22.689 Meatballs. 1898 01:43:23.210 --> 01:43:24.210 And their welfare state. 1899 01:43:24.869 --> 01:43:25.369 And meatballs. 1900 01:43:25.970 --> 01:43:30.529 Who defends them? It's France, it's England, it's the United States. 1901 01:43:31.300 --> 01:43:33.960 That's the point that I'm making. If you're able to 1902 01:43:34.060 --> 01:43:40.409 outsource your collective defense to another group of people, then 1903 01:43:40.449 --> 01:43:42.390 that allows you to have that. That allows you to 1904 01:43:42.409 --> 01:43:43.449 have a big safety net. 1905 01:43:43.949 --> 01:43:46.930 Chasing Blue Dragon claims to have called and thinks that 1906 01:43:47.010 --> 01:43:48.529 he's waiting in the queue. 1907 01:43:49.229 --> 01:43:51.029 Oh, he, okay, he is here. 1908 01:43:52.189 --> 01:43:53.170 Okay, put him up. 1909 01:43:53.680 --> 01:43:55.739 Yeah, for some reason, Rumble did not notify us that 1910 01:43:55.760 --> 01:44:00.520 he was

here. So we're going to pop him on in. Howdy. 1911 01:44:01.500 --> 01:44:01.899 Hello. 1912 01:44:02.819 --> 01:44:05.819 Hey, Jason. It's Ted Roll and Robbie West here on 1913 01:44:05.859 --> 01:44:09.579 Deep Program. You're live. Please say what you got to say. 1914 01:44:09.699 --> 01:44:14.220 Say it completely and concisely and turn off your sound 1915 01:44:14.260 --> 01:44:16.680 in the background so that you don't have the delay 1916 01:44:16.699 --> 01:44:18.310 because there might be a little bit of an echo. 1917 01:44:18.729 --> 01:44:19.119 Go ahead. 1918 01:44:19.689 --> 01:44:22.050 Oh, I was just calling in to say hello and 1919 01:44:22.149 --> 01:44:24.229 thank you guys for what you do. I mean, like, 1920 01:44:24.569 --> 01:44:26.750 you guys are part of my daily routine and I'll 1921 01:44:26.770 --> 01:44:30.170 be very sad if you guys go away, that's for sure. 1922 01:44:30.649 --> 01:44:36.119 I've I've just been studying and trying to receive my 1923 01:44:36.159 --> 01:44:39.680 degree in organic chemistry. It's been insane, honestly. 1924 01:44:40.600 --> 01:44:43.880 Oh, wow. Yeah. Where do you go to school? 1925 01:44:44.779 --> 01:44:51.470 Right now, I'm in Michigan up north around Bay City. Yeah, 1926 01:44:51.510 --> 01:44:54.569 I was going to say, organic chemistry at Columbia was notorious. 1927 01:44:54.670 --> 01:44:57.729 It was a class that nobody wanted to take because 1928 01:44:57.770 --> 01:45:00.529 it was so brutal. If you escaped with a B minus, 1929 01:45:00.569 --> 01:45:01.109 you were happy. 1930 01:45:01.770 --> 01:45:02.949 Oh, I know. It's insane. 1931 01:45:02.970 --> 01:45:06.840 And dealing with the instructors and everyone around, it can 1932 01:45:06.850 --> 01:45:10.380 be very, very tasking, that's for sure, because you want 1933 01:45:10.399 --> 01:45:13.800 to go about doing things one way or learning things 1934 01:45:13.840 --> 01:45:17.079 a certain way. And since they've changed education so much, 1935 01:45:17.140 --> 01:45:22.460 I mean, probably since you've been in school, there's no 1936 01:45:22.800 --> 01:45:25.579 directive with your peers or anyone to talk to because 1937 01:45:25.619 --> 01:45:28.720 everyone's always studying completely different things. 1938 01:45:30.579 --> 01:45:33.869 Yeah. That sucks. Well, hang in there. Good luck. Thanks 1939 01:45:33.890 --> 01:45:36.989 for calling in, and thank you for supporting the show. 1940 01:45:37.729 --> 01:45:40.810 Thank you so much. And sorry for making you wait. 1941 01:45:40.869 --> 01:45:42.649 Rumble did not notify me that you're in the queue, 1942 01:45:42.710 --> 01:45:44.310 so thank you for calling in. 1943 01:45:44.689 --> 01:45:48.810 No, you're good. Thank you, guys. Calls are standing by. 1944 01:45:50.420 --> 01:45:51.560 Is it pinned, the link? 1945 01:45:52.039 --> 01:45:52.300 It is. 1946 01:45:52.460 --> 01:45:52.840 It's pinned. 1947 01:45:52.899 --> 01:45:54.300 I will go and drop it on there again, too. 1948 01:45:55.619 --> 01:45:59.319 Okay, so there's Mr. Charles G. is asking if I 1949 01:45:59.359 --> 01:46:04.359 sell calendars. The answer is no, I used to. And no, 1950 01:46:04.399 --> 01:46:07.250 I don't. However, I should say there is some news 1951 01:46:07.289 --> 01:46:10.670 to say. I think it's going to be about November 1952 01:46:11.010 --> 01:46:14.270 11th in about two weeks. My next book is coming out. 1953 01:46:14.369 --> 01:46:19.090 It's a collection of my cartoons about imperialism, colonialism and 1954 01:46:19.170 --> 01:46:23.729 foreign policy. I just went through them. I'm like, it's funny. 1955 01:46:23.979 --> 01:46:27.380 It's good. And you can see going back basically to 1956 01:46:27.399 --> 01:46:30.619 when I started drawing cartoons for syndication 30 plus years ago, 1957 01:46:31.220 --> 01:46:34.720 sort of how so many things haven't really changed and 1958 01:46:34.760 --> 01:46:38.119 the absurdity. And I promise the cartoons are funny, even 1959 01:46:38.159 --> 01:46:41.250 though they deal with some pretty bleak topics. So I'll 1960 01:46:41.270 --> 01:46:44.409 be getting into that. The book is called No More Mr. 1961 01:46:44.470 --> 01:46:46.890 Nice Guy, but I'll give you, you can't buy it yet. 1962 01:46:47.270 --> 01:46:49.810 I'll give, I'll give details about that when I have them. 1963 01:46:53.329 --> 01:46:55.090 I will need to get that book from you. 1964 01:46:55.970 --> 01:47:00.170 Oh, yeah, no, that's a given, of course. And so, yeah, 1965 01:47:00.289 --> 01:47:02.050 if you want to call in, go ahead and we 1966 01:47:02.069 --> 01:47:05.220 will take your call, just like we just did just now. 1967 01:47:05.859 --> 01:47:10.800 Philip Blair says, Sweden is famous for nudity, too. That's true. 1968 01:47:11.319 --> 01:47:15.779 Phileas Fab says, apparently Brazil's vote was extended because of 1969 01:47:15.859 --> 01:47:20.680 public transport failures, which likely would affect Lula more, and 1970 01:47:20.979 --> 01:47:28.119 bad weather. for which Bolsonaro requested extensions. I mean, I 1971 01:47:28.140 --> 01:47:31.649 guess it's true. Mass transit would be, uh, would affect, uh, 1972 01:47:32.020 --> 01:47:37.970 left-wing voters more than right-wing voters in Latin America. Yeah. I, 1973 01:47:38.109 --> 01:47:39.069 I mean, I, I don't know. 1974 01:47:39.229 --> 01:47:42.689 I just know that it's been a very long time 1975 01:47:42.729 --> 01:47:47.250 since I was there. And so obviously the country has changed, but, um, 1976 01:47:48.140 --> 01:47:50.140 I enjoyed it. It was wild. Some of the best 1977 01:47:50.180 --> 01:47:51.800 food I ever had was there. I got to teach 1978 01:47:52.220 --> 01:47:55.109 Brazilians about the Confederacy. When I punched this dude out, 1979 01:47:55.130 --> 01:47:57.630 we called him a Yankee. But you're a Yankee. I said, no, 1980 01:47:57.649 --> 01:48:01.050 I promise you I am not. So that was fun. 1981 01:48:03.289 -->

01:48:06.069 It was an experience. And that's really one of the, 1982 01:48:06.289 --> 01:48:08.609 I think that's one of the biggest weaknesses that Americans 1983 01:48:08.630 --> 01:48:11.050 have is that we just, we do not travel enough. 1984 01:48:12.810 --> 01:48:12.979 Right. 1985 01:48:13.720 --> 01:48:13.920 Right. 1986 01:48:13.960 --> 01:48:16.300 No, I agree with that. I don't think it should 1987 01:48:16.319 --> 01:48:18.970 be mandatory, but it's good to get out there for sure, 1988 01:48:19.310 --> 01:48:22.260 just to see how. other people do things better and differently. 1989 01:48:22.279 --> 01:48:25.380 All right. So let's talk about Serbia a little bit, right? 1990 01:48:26.500 --> 01:48:32.050 Aleksandar Vucic, who's been a centerpiece of Serbian politics since 1991 01:48:32.090 --> 01:48:35.409 the 1980s. Some people call him a strong man. Some 1992 01:48:35.729 --> 01:48:42.550 people call him pro-Russian. He was very unpopular in Serbia. 1993 01:48:43.100 --> 01:48:46.060 And there were people who even flew back from other 1994 01:48:46.119 --> 01:48:51.079 countries specifically in order to vote against him because they 1995 01:48:51.119 --> 01:48:54.739 hated him so much. Or they drove long distances to 1996 01:48:54.760 --> 01:48:58.710 their consulate to vote at weird times because the consular 1997 01:48:58.770 --> 01:49:03.029 elections for Serbia were held at Serbia's consulate at the 1998 01:49:03.069 --> 01:49:06.359 same time without adjusting to as the polls were open 1999 01:49:06.439 --> 01:49:08.739 in Serbia. So they were open like in New York 2000 01:49:08.819 --> 01:49:11.310 City at two o'clock in the morning. And there was 2001 01:49:11.359 --> 01:49:16.670 a line outside the consulate of Serbians waiting to vote, 2002 01:49:16.729 --> 01:49:19.029 I guess, for the most part against Vucic. This was 2003 01:49:19.090 --> 01:49:22.430 kind of seen. But on the other hand, the guy 2004 01:49:22.489 --> 01:49:28.050 who won is not really anti-Russian either because Serbia has 2005 01:49:28.109 --> 01:49:30.850 long historic ties to Russia. So I don't see that 2006 01:49:30.869 --> 01:49:31.850 changing anytime soon. 2007 01:49:33.159 --> 01:49:35.390 If anything i mean a lot of serbs feel betrayed 2008 01:49:37.010 --> 01:49:40.170 because the russians were too weak to help them back 2009 01:49:40.210 --> 01:49:42.369 during the serbian war when the u.s is just bombing 2010 01:49:42.390 --> 01:49:46.850 the hell out of them but i think also a 2011 01:49:46.930 --> 01:49:50.609 majority of the population understands that what you said is 2012 01:49:50.649 --> 01:49:53.829 true is that russia was too weak to help protect 2013 01:49:53.869 --> 01:49:55.909 them and they understand that and that's no longer the 2014 01:49:55.949 --> 01:49:59.899 case uh But I mean, really, it just all comes 2015 01:49:59.960 --> 01:50:03.250 down to what are your values? Do you want to 2016 01:50:03.289 --> 01:50:06.210 surrender your country's independence? Do you want to surrender your 2017 01:50:06.250 --> 01:50:09.869 country's sovereignty to Brussels? Or do you think that your 2018 01:50:09.909 --> 01:50:13.350 country should represent the values of the people who are there, 2019 01:50:13.409 --> 01:50:18.020 your legacy population? And I don't see that going away. 2020 01:50:18.039 --> 01:50:20.600 It's kind of like how you asked earlier about the 2021 01:50:20.640 --> 01:50:23.960 difference between a right-wing and a left-wing government in Europe. 2022 01:50:25.000 --> 01:50:27.630 I think that's the wrong question. I think the question is... 2023 01:50:28.520 --> 01:50:33.489 This is a populist backlash. This transcends normal politics. This 2024 01:50:33.569 --> 01:50:35.670 comes into what does it actually mean to be Serb 2025 01:50:35.810 --> 01:50:40.770 or Croat or French or German or a Dane? What 2026 01:50:40.810 --> 01:50:43.109 does that even mean? It doesn't mean anything at all anymore. 2027 01:50:43.800 --> 01:50:47.079 And if it means something, then the state exists to 2028 01:50:47.180 --> 01:50:50.779 serve you and your interests. And I think that's really 2029 01:50:50.800 --> 01:50:53.899 what this is going into. I think that the European 2030 01:50:53.939 --> 01:50:58.170 experiment is dying and it cannot die fast enough. And 2031 01:50:58.229 --> 01:51:01.310 it's time for the independent nations of Europe to become 2032 01:51:01.449 --> 01:51:04.770 independent again and start focusing on their own problems, their 2033 01:51:04.810 --> 01:51:08.560 own people, their issues. And I also include East Asia 2034 01:51:08.579 --> 01:51:12.399 in that. The Japanese need to start taking care of 2035 01:51:12.420 --> 01:51:16.260 Japan again and rediscover what it means to be Japanese 2036 01:51:16.699 --> 01:51:17.000 or Korean. 2037 01:51:17.020 --> 01:51:21.699 But ironically, Japan now has a new right-wing prime minister 2038 01:51:22.470 --> 01:51:27.729 and her attitude is completely the opposite. Her attitude is expansionistic, militaristic, 2039 01:51:29.390 --> 01:51:33.010 projecting force out into the Pacific. Hey, what could go 2040 01:51:33.050 --> 01:51:37.149 wrong with Japan projecting force out into the Pacific? And 2041 01:51:38.130 --> 01:51:43.189 getting involved in needling China over Taiwan and so on, 2042 01:51:43.260 --> 01:51:49.239 and sending international peacekeepers to various imperialist projects around the world. 2043 01:51:49.600 --> 01:51:52.340 Japan's doing the very opposite of what you're counseling. 2044 01:51:52.840 --> 01:51:57.449 I don't think so, because here's the thing. Nationalism is 2045 01:51:57.710 --> 01:52:00.550 a big check out on low birth rates. The Japanese, 2046 01:52:00.649 --> 01:52:04.210 over the last few decades, have not been making babies. 2047 01:52:06.329 --> 01:52:08.029 So then what do you do to make that happen? 2048 01:52:09.449 --> 01:52:12.039 You tap into your history,

you tap into your culture, 2049 01:52:12.079 --> 01:52:14.680 you tap into the thing that made Japan what it is. 2050 01:52:14.859 --> 01:52:17.159 They've had this problem, though, for a hundred years. 2051 01:52:18.220 --> 01:52:19.899 Well, that was at the end of World War II, 2052 01:52:20.000 --> 01:52:21.600 and I think that what needs to happen, and this 2053 01:52:21.619 --> 01:52:23.060 is the same thing I would tell the French and 2054 01:52:23.090 --> 01:52:26.500 everybody else, you need to decide... I. 2055 01:52:26.500 --> 01:52:28.439 Mean, I don't know how you can have a big 2056 01:52:28.539 --> 01:52:33.880 family in a place where real estate is fundamentally unaffordable. 2057 01:52:34.619 --> 01:52:37.079 People are living on top of each other in tiny, 2058 01:52:37.359 --> 01:52:41.359 famously tiny homes and apartments. I mean, if people are 2059 01:52:41.399 --> 01:52:45.489 living in totally close quarters, the last thing they want 2060 01:52:45.510 --> 01:52:48.029 to do is introduce five more babies to the equation. 2061 01:52:48.829 --> 01:52:52.109 That is 100% not true. Because what you're able to 2062 01:52:52.149 --> 01:52:53.390 do is that you're able to go in, you can 2063 01:52:53.430 --> 01:52:57.050 change the system. And if you need more land, One 2064 01:52:57.060 --> 01:53:01.989 thing that humanity is famous for is looking around and saying, 2065 01:53:02.029 --> 01:53:04.310 who has real estate that they're not using that I 2066 01:53:04.350 --> 01:53:04.770 can take? 2067 01:53:05.550 --> 01:53:06.609 You sound like a Zionist. 2068 01:53:07.689 --> 01:53:14.789 Well, that's the human condition. Now, am I advocating that? No, 2069 01:53:14.810 --> 01:53:18.590 because Japan would lose. They would get curb stomped. That 2070 01:53:18.630 --> 01:53:21.640 being said, though, there are things that they're able to do. 2071 01:53:21.699 --> 01:53:24.369 The Japanese are the The fundamental problem with Japan and 2072 01:53:24.409 --> 01:53:27.729 South Korea is that they are slaves to a system 2073 01:53:27.890 --> 01:53:30.789 that exploits them for money that they can't take with 2074 01:53:30.829 --> 01:53:34.810 them when they die. That's the problem. That's the issue. 2075 01:53:35.930 --> 01:53:38.329 So what do you do? You change the system. 2076 01:53:42.329 --> 01:53:45.810 Well, changing the... I mean, changing... The Japanese are not 2077 01:53:45.949 --> 01:53:49.510 good at changing their systems. I mean, they have not had. 2078 01:53:49.529 --> 01:53:49.609 Well. 2079 01:53:51.689 --> 01:53:54.640 I mean, they've never really had a revolution, right? 2080 01:53:55.020 --> 01:54:00.399 Of course they did. Hold on. Chet, you're still in history. Okay, 2081 01:54:00.420 --> 01:54:05.369 so the Tokugawa shogunate ruled Japan for 300 years. The 2082 01:54:05.409 --> 01:54:10.829 Meiji Restoration was a revolution in every way, shape, and form. 2083 01:54:10.850 --> 01:54:14.729 You don't think that's more of like a foreign imperialist project? 2084 01:54:15.260 --> 01:54:15.640 Oh, hell no. 2085 01:54:16.189 --> 01:54:18.840 That was to prevent a foreign imperialist project. They saw 2086 01:54:18.850 --> 01:54:22.819 the Europeans carving up the Chinese melon and made Jesus like, okay, uh, 2087 01:54:22.899 --> 01:54:26.430 the samurai have, uh, they are living in the 1300s. 2088 01:54:26.439 --> 01:54:29.720 They've made Japan into a whore. What am I going 2089 01:54:29.760 --> 01:54:32.119 to do? I am going to, I'm going to completely 2090 01:54:32.199 --> 01:54:35.579 rebuild society from the top down. To say that Japan 2091 01:54:35.619 --> 01:54:39.859 has never had a revolution is, uh, That's insane. 2092 01:54:40.140 --> 01:54:42.729 It hasn't had a revolution in a Marxist sense. And 2093 01:54:42.739 --> 01:54:46.489 that was also, what, 100? That was almost 200 years ago. 2094 01:54:49.489 --> 01:54:50.789 Well, Marxism doesn't work. 2095 01:54:52.170 --> 01:54:57.710 I'm talking about revolutions. Okay, so Robbie, two questions. And 2096 01:54:57.729 --> 01:54:59.409 we're getting toward the end of our two hours, so 2097 01:54:59.430 --> 01:55:03.010 we definitely have to hit these. Kilroy for president. One, 2098 01:55:03.170 --> 01:55:06.800 I'm considering going back to church. Any recommendations on handling 2099 01:55:06.859 --> 01:55:10.880 Zionism in many Baptist churches? Also, any ideas for ministering 2100 01:55:10.920 --> 01:55:13.619 to my partner? She's a non-practicing Catholic. 2101 01:55:15.170 --> 01:55:16.930 The first question is going to be easier of the 2102 01:55:16.970 --> 01:55:19.229 two to answer. Zionism is just going to be baked 2103 01:55:19.350 --> 01:55:23.210 into any kind, especially of a Baptist church. The best 2104 01:55:23.250 --> 01:55:25.819 advice I can give you is look for an independent church. 2105 01:55:25.880 --> 01:55:29.210 That's not a part of any kind of a any 2106 01:55:29.250 --> 01:55:32.289 kind of a larger denomination, like avoid the Southern Baptists. 2107 01:55:32.470 --> 01:55:36.569 Find yourself a small, local, independent church. Most likely they're 2108 01:55:36.600 --> 01:55:42.239 going to be Zionist, especially if they're raised in dispensationalism 2109 01:55:42.279 --> 01:55:44.689 and Schofieldism. That's just going to be part of it. 2110 01:55:44.699 --> 01:55:47.729 It's just baked in, except for what it is. But 2111 01:55:47.850 --> 01:55:51.369 so long as they are faithful to the principles of 2112 01:55:51.390 --> 01:55:56.420 the faith, how you get saved, that's what matters. As 2113 01:55:56.520 --> 01:56:01.430 far as your partner goes, sit down with her, read 2114 01:56:01.449 --> 01:56:04.130 the Bible with her. Say, hey, I want to do these. 2115 01:56:04.670 --> 01:56:06.909 I'd like to do a Bible study. I would recommend 2116 01:56:06.930 --> 01:56:09.630 that you start in the book of John, the Gospel 2117 01:56:09.649 --> 01:56:12.779 of John, and then

move into Romans because those are 2118 01:56:12.859 --> 01:56:16.920 easy books to read. Also, they make what salvation is 2119 01:56:17.020 --> 01:56:23.300 incredibly plain. It's putting your faith in Christ and it 2120 01:56:23.500 --> 01:56:27.640 is No, Paul answers the question, what must I do 2121 01:56:27.659 --> 01:56:30.000 to be saved? Believe the Lord Jesus Christ is God. 2122 01:56:30.319 --> 01:56:33.119 Ask him to forgive your sins. That's it. You don't 2123 01:56:33.140 --> 01:56:35.010 need a pope. You don't need a dude in a dress. 2124 01:56:35.239 --> 01:56:37.710 You don't have to go and pay 20 Hail Marys. 2125 01:56:38.649 --> 01:56:43.090 Jesus paid the price. And John and Romans put together, 2126 01:56:43.470 --> 01:56:45.829 make that hand and glove, and it's very easy to read. 2127 01:56:45.850 --> 01:56:48.649 A moron like me can understand it. So your partner 2128 01:56:48.670 --> 01:56:52.560 will have no problems at all. Okay. 2129 01:56:54.439 --> 01:56:57.260 All right, so I guess we're wrapping it up. Let's 2130 01:56:57.279 --> 01:57:00.000 take a look and see one last round. Take a 2131 01:57:00.020 --> 01:57:03.079 look and see what other questions have come in. Anything 2132 01:57:03.140 --> 01:57:06.100 else we should hit before we get out of here? 2133 01:57:08.279 --> 01:57:12.619 Marie Ler says, Le Pen represents Germany, not France. I've 2134 01:57:12.659 --> 01:57:16.930 heard that take. Oh, yeah, Joe Consumer, thank you very 2135 01:57:16.970 --> 01:57:22.149 much for the $ 10. Stick to it, boys. We will try. 2136 01:57:22.170 --> 01:57:28.229 We need more of that. Philip Blair, Robbie, Marxism works 2137 01:57:28.270 --> 01:57:30.949 so well in Cuba that the U.S. is blockading them. 2138 01:57:33.579 --> 01:57:37.140 Well, I guess it just depends, right? Because Cuba is 2139 01:57:37.159 --> 01:57:39.399 an interesting test case because it never had a chance 2140 01:57:39.420 --> 01:57:43.939 to even try. But no, China was, and I use 2141 01:57:44.140 --> 01:57:48.260 that word deliberately, it was a communist state. I argue 2142 01:57:48.300 --> 01:57:52.119 now it's actually a fascist state where you have a 2143 01:57:52.199 --> 01:57:57.359 free market But it's dominated by the ruling class. So 2144 01:57:58.189 --> 01:57:59.390 China's not communist. 2145 01:57:59.649 --> 01:58:02.649 The food markets are always dominated by the ruling class. 2146 01:58:03.329 --> 01:58:07.229 But no, because the oligarchs, like, for example, here, Elon 2147 01:58:07.270 --> 01:58:10.399 Musk and his ilk run run the American government. Whereas 2148 01:58:10.439 --> 01:58:13.340 in China, the government will put someone like him to death. 2149 01:58:13.960 --> 01:58:16.439 That's the difference in China. You can't change the party, 2150 01:58:16.640 --> 01:58:19.649 but you can change the system in the West. You 2151 01:58:19.670 --> 01:58:21.770 can change the system. You can change the party, but 2152 01:58:21.789 --> 01:58:25.069 you can't change the system. That's the fundamental difference between, 2153 01:58:25.109 --> 01:58:28.649 between the two Cuba. I just, I don't see how, 2154 01:58:30.869 --> 01:58:33.890 I just don't see how, even if it wasn't strangled, 2155 01:58:33.930 --> 01:58:35.819 how it would work because it doesn't have the resources 2156 01:58:35.859 --> 01:58:38.520 to be a communist state. Neither does Japan. You would 2157 01:58:38.560 --> 01:58:41.100 have to be capitalistic to expand. You would have to 2158 01:58:41.319 --> 01:58:44.050 exploit wealth somewhere else because you don't have any resources 2159 01:58:44.090 --> 01:58:44.409 of your own. 2160 01:58:46.489 --> 01:58:49.069 All right. And with that, I think we're going to 2161 01:58:49.109 --> 01:58:52.289 call it a two hours. Thanks for tuning in. The 2162 01:58:52.329 --> 01:58:57.180 program is here Monday through Friday at 9 a.m. Eastern time, Monday, Wednesday, Friday. 2163 01:58:57.199 --> 01:59:01.199 It goes to 11 Tuesday, Thursday.

I'm thinking, but we'll let you 2166 01:59:08.859 --> 01:59:10.960 know when we hear from him. I hope it's a win. 2167 01:59:11.359 --> 01:59:14.829 I'm sure it's a win. And TMI show is back 2168 01:59:14.909 --> 01:59:17.899 on the air tomorrow at 10 o'clock at its regular time, 2169 01:59:17.899 --> 01:59:23.100 10 to 11 a.m. Eastern time. Please do subscribe to 2170 01:59:23.119 --> 01:59:26.539 the show. Become a subscriber on YouTube. It is by 2171 01:59:26.659 --> 01:59:29.470 far the easiest way you can support us. You don't 2172 01:59:29.489 --> 01:59:31.930 have to think about it. They just charge your bank 2173 01:59:31.970 --> 01:59:34.649 account and you forget all about it because one of 2174 01:59:34.689 --> 01:59:37.869 those many little things. But, you know, hopefully it's something 2175 01:59:37.909 --> 01:59:40.609 that brings some happiness and some utility into your life. 2176 01:59:41.510 --> 01:59:43.689 We certainly enjoy doing this and would like to continue 2177 01:59:43.869 --> 01:59:47.329 doing it. Robbie, thanks very much for filling in for Jamal. 2178 01:59:47.750 --> 01:59:48.189 No, of course. 2179 01:59:48.430 --> 01:59:51.270 And I'll try to get a host tomorrow. If I can't, 2180 01:59:51.310 --> 01:59:54.069 you'll be stuck with me again. And for the record, personally, 2181 01:59:54.090 --> 01:59:56.569 if I was if I had to pick a government system, 2182 01:59:56.649 --> 02:00:01.449 I think I would pick the Chinese model because the 2183 02:00:01.470 --> 02:00:05.220 state controls the resources. And they don't allow just the 2184 02:00:05.359 --> 02:00:08.710 rampant exploitation of the people. 2185 02:00:09.369 --> 02:00:13.350 All right. Robbie gets the last word. All right. See 2186 02:00:13.390 --> 02:00:14.789 you tomorrow, Robbie. All right, buddy. 2187 02:00:14.810 --> 02:00:15.050 Bye-bye. 2188 02:00:15.069 --> 02:00:15.229 Bye. 2189 02:00:15.710 --> 02:00:16.189 Bye. Bye.
