00:00:04.269 --> 00:00:05.352
What do you want to do tonight?

00:00:05.980 --> 00:00:07.746
The same thing we do every night.

00:00:07.746 --> 00:00:10.047
Pinky, Try to take over the world.

00:00:10.047 --> 00:00:14.887
Alright, yo, let's get into it.

00:00:14.887 --> 00:00:16.586
Try to take over the world.

00:00:18.865 --> 00:00:20.210
Try to take over the world.

00:00:24.620 --> 00:00:26.387
The hands of the greatest chaplain in the world, mr Lance O'Neill.

00:00:26.387 --> 00:00:27.009
Try to take over the world.

00:00:27.009 --> 00:00:35.362
And the greatest chaplain in the world, mr Lance O'Neal, what's up?

00:00:35.362 --> 00:00:35.884
What's up?

00:00:35.884 --> 00:00:37.009
What's up everybody.

00:00:37.009 --> 00:00:49.240
It's your boy, kj, and the greatest chaplain in the world, mr Lance O'Neal, and we are back for this very special, very, very special in the world, mr Lance O'Neill, and we are back for this very special, very, very special Mother's Day edition of Two Pogues.

00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:50.621
Thanks for joining us.

00:00:50.621 --> 00:00:51.503
What's up, chappy?

00:00:51.503 --> 00:00:52.786
How you doing, how was your Mother's Day?

00:00:54.530 --> 00:00:54.932
Pretty good.

00:00:54.932 --> 00:00:59.951
It's funny, my wife doesn't cook very often, but she actually cooked tonight.

00:00:59.951 --> 00:01:02.104
Afterwards I was kind of laughing like the one.

00:01:02.104 --> 00:01:08.126
The one Sunday I don't cook Mother's Day, but that's why I look at it.

00:01:08.126 --> 00:01:09.510
Mother's Day is every day.

00:01:09.510 --> 00:01:12.950
It should just be one day saying how much you love your mother.

00:01:12.950 --> 00:01:16.531
But you know, I should probably call my mom after this.

00:01:17.841 --> 00:01:19.671
Yeah you should definitely call it before midnight.

00:01:19.671 --> 00:01:22.944
All right, for those of you guys who have been following along.

00:01:22.944 --> 00:01:27.993
We were expecting to have futurist Jesse Hurst on board with us.

00:01:27.993 --> 00:01:43.373
He's running a little bit late, having some technical difficulties over there in the great up north, so hopefully he'll be able to jump on the pod a little bit later, but in the meantime we got more than enough political chaos to talk about in our own little space of the world.

00:01:44.379 --> 00:01:45.644
Chaffee, let's say we jump into it.

00:01:45.644 --> 00:01:47.028
My brother, let's get hot and heavy.

00:01:47.028 --> 00:01:49.563
I got two words for you.

00:01:49.563 --> 00:01:51.370
I got two words for you.

00:01:51.370 --> 00:01:54.846
Abias Corbin, let's go.

00:01:54.846 --> 00:02:00.281
You already knew, you know, you know it was coming, you know we had to talk about it All right.

00:02:00.281 --> 00:02:06.793
So you know, you know I've been ready to call this administration the F word.

00:02:06.793 --> 00:02:13.639
I think they are definitely 2025 version of a fascist regime.

00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:22.134
You got Stephen Miller out there running point and the dude is literally step by step with the playbook.

00:02:22.134 --> 00:02:23.663
They got the people in place.

00:02:23.663 --> 00:02:25.246
I think we just added what?

00:02:25.246 --> 00:02:28.772
Janine Pirio for her head attorney in DC.

00:02:28.772 --> 00:02:30.603
Are you ready yet?

00:02:30.603 --> 00:02:31.967
Are you ready yet?

00:02:31.967 --> 00:02:33.371
Oh, we still are we still wait.

00:02:33.719 --> 00:02:33.900
Yeah.

00:02:34.681 --> 00:02:40.753
Judge Perino, are we talking about an actual judge who has been a practicing lawyer and a practicing judge on the bench?

00:02:40.753 --> 00:02:42.842
That is a very at least.

00:02:42.842 --> 00:02:46.512
That is a very at least she's qualified.

00:02:46.731 --> 00:02:58.156
You can't, she's not qualified he is absolutely qualified, but that is a very low standard for and I will give you that, given the we can get into, the nomination of which makes absolutely no sense.

00:02:58.156 --> 00:02:58.659
But let's go.

00:02:58.659 --> 00:03:01.042
Let's start with habeas corpus first.

00:03:01.042 --> 00:03:02.342
Let let's talk about it.

00:03:02.342 --> 00:03:03.902
What do you?

00:03:03.923 --> 00:03:04.243
think.

00:03:04.243 --> 00:03:20.332
Well, first, if you don't know what habeas corpus is, it's basically that anybody who is arrested or for whatever necessary reason has the right to demand habeas corpus, which is to be physically present in front of a judge.

00:03:20.332 --> 00:03:34.163
Okay, so one of the big issues right now is people getting deported and claiming well, now they want habeas corpus, they want to be in front of the judge before they are sent out of the country.

00:03:34.163 --> 00:03:40.581
And so then the question becomes well, is habeas corpus protected constitutionally?

00:03:40.581 --> 00:03:48.495
The answer is mostly because the legislature can, in fact, suspend habeas corpus under the Constitution.

00:03:48.495 --> 00:03:52.868
It has been suspended as well previously.

00:03:52.969 --> 00:03:53.951
Now it's been a while.

00:03:53.951 --> 00:04:09.180
I know Abraham Lincoln suspended habeas corpus during during the Civil War so a little while ago, 60 years ago but he was using it under the War Powers Act, which is actually very similar to what Trump is kind of doing.

00:04:09.180 --> 00:04:30.968
He's saying look, this is an assault on American sovereignty and the people that are here are illegal, are not only here illegal, but they are a real and present danger to citizens of the United States whether they be gangbangers, whether they be murderers, rapists, but then they're extending it all the way down to.

00:04:31.529 --> 00:04:33.021
Well, you are.

00:04:33.021 --> 00:04:48.365
It's tough, because all the way down to are you supporting Palestine, which is essentially the equivalent to supporting Hamas which is a, the equivalent to supporting Hamas.

00:04:48.386 --> 00:04:50.067
It is a terrorist organization.

00:04:50.067 --> 00:04:52.850
So it's a nuance for sure.

00:04:52.850 --> 00:04:54.091
It is a nuance for sure.

00:04:54.091 --> 00:04:54.653
I understand.

00:04:54.653 --> 00:04:58.177
I'm trying to argue it from the administrative side.

00:04:58.177 --> 00:05:01.908
I got you and this is why, yeah, you and I have talked about this.

00:05:01.908 --> 00:05:07.382
As far as the law, we like to think the law is black and white and this is what the law says and this is how it is.

00:05:07.382 --> 00:05:09.845
But if that was true, we wouldn't have lawyers.

00:05:09.845 --> 00:05:21.915
So if the legislature would just do a better job of saying this is what the law is and write it constitutionally to begin with, we wouldn't have these issues as habeas corpus goes.

00:05:22.134 --> 00:05:29.827
I will tell you firsthand my experience with habeas corpus was being a guard in Guantanamo from 02 to 03.

00:05:29.827 --> 00:05:33.153
So I was down there for about eight months, nine months.

00:05:33.153 --> 00:05:38.851
I'd like to consider myself that I was one of the good guards, meaning I just they were a guard.

00:05:38.851 --> 00:05:40.663
You know they were detainees.

00:05:40.663 --> 00:05:41.245
I was a guard.

00:05:41.245 --> 00:05:47.185
I didn't go out of my way to harass them or do anything to them to make them make their lives any worse than it was.

00:05:47.185 --> 00:05:59.845
I was like, hey, they're still human beings as much, even though they're the most dangerous people in the world, which I think was definitely exaggeration for many of them, considering how many were released afterwards.

00:05:59.845 --> 00:06:05.793
But one of the guys who was down there was funding for Al-Qaeda.

00:06:05.793 --> 00:06:13.533
He was a middleman and so he was basically money laundering and providing funds.

00:06:14.620 --> 00:06:21.343
And so he the whole time oh no, I'm not, I wasn't that, I'm here by mistake.

00:06:21.343 --> 00:06:22.247
I was just caught up.

00:06:22.247 --> 00:06:27.267
Oh no, no, no, and he was kind of banking and I had a conversation with this guy.

00:06:27.267 --> 00:06:28.930
He had good English, I'm here by mistake.

00:06:28.930 --> 00:06:29.391
I was just caught up.

00:06:29.391 --> 00:06:31.656
Oh no, no, no, and he was kind of banking and I had a conversation with this guy.

00:06:31.656 --> 00:06:33.500
I had good English and I had a conversation with him.

00:06:33.500 --> 00:06:47.860
No-transcript.

00:06:47.860 --> 00:06:50.531
Guantanamo Bay is not technically the United States.

00:06:50.531 --> 00:06:55.869
And suddenly he started saying well, what can I tell you guys to help my case?

00:06:56.420 --> 00:07:02.752
And I said tell us what you know, and suddenly he started singing like a little songbird, right?

00:07:02.752 --> 00:07:11.072
So yeah, so the part of it for me is tough, because I get both sides.

00:07:11.072 --> 00:07:26.649
You'll have people you included, I believe who say if you are here illegally and even if you're a gang member, you have to have the right of cavious corpus, you have to be in front of a judge and all that.

00:07:26.649 --> 00:07:35.511
My problem is for a lot of these detainees I'm sorry, not detainees a lot of these people that are in the country illegally.

00:07:35.511 --> 00:07:38.319
It's already gone through the judge.

00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:41.230
The judge has already written orders that say you're out.

00:07:41.230 --> 00:07:43.666
Then ICE comes in and grabs them.

00:07:43.666 --> 00:07:55.713
Well, now, if they've already had their trial or their hearing, I should say and the judge has already signed off on the deportation order, but they didn't appear do they still have the right to habeas corpus?

00:07:55.713 --> 00:08:01.769
I think that's one of the nuances of this.

00:08:01.848 --> 00:08:03.732
In that case, that's cut and dry.

00:08:03.732 --> 00:08:05.855
You had an opportunity to see the judge.

00:08:05.855 --> 00:08:07.807
You chose not to take that opportunity.

00:08:07.807 --> 00:08:10.148
Then, in my opinion, you got to go.

00:08:10.148 --> 00:08:27.584
Where I have an issue with is where we're literally snatching and grabbing people off of the street, sending them to Venezuela and then being like, hey, my bad, this administration is getting extremely loose with regulations.

00:08:27.584 --> 00:08:28.545
Right, they are.

00:08:28.545 --> 00:08:37.591
They have found the magic loophole in the government where it's better to ask for forgiveness than permission.

00:08:37.591 --> 00:08:52.562
Call it what you want, but snatching kids off the street for protesting Hamas college kids protest, right, that's what they do.

00:08:52.562 --> 00:08:52.863
They protest.

00:08:52.863 --> 00:08:56.974
You snatch kids off the street, you throw them in cages and deport excuse me, deportation centers right.

00:08:56.974 --> 00:09:03.700
And then you hold them and say, oh, you don't have any rights because you were supporting a terrorist group, because they wrote an opinion piece.

00:09:03.700 --> 00:09:04.100
That's sketch right.

00:09:04.100 --> 00:09:05.845
Because now you're stretching the terrorist group because they wrote an opinion piece.

00:09:05.845 --> 00:09:06.285
That's sketch right.

00:09:06.285 --> 00:09:10.836
Because now you're stretching the very limits of the Constitution, right Is it?

00:09:11.357 --> 00:09:13.544
But is it Absolutely Okay?

00:09:13.544 --> 00:09:14.629
So let's go.

00:09:14.629 --> 00:09:16.405
Let's look at that a little bit differently.

00:09:16.405 --> 00:09:23.804
Sure, anybody who's in this, let's say foreign national students Sure, let's go with them by themselves.

00:09:23.804 --> 00:09:26.475
Yeah, a foreign national student has to's go with them by themselves.

00:09:26.475 --> 00:09:29.433
A foreign national student has to have a green card I'm sorry, a visa.

00:09:29.433 --> 00:09:31.125
A student needs it to be in this country.

00:09:31.125 --> 00:09:42.803
If, at any point, the federal government who issues the green card says we don't want you here anymore, it can be literally for any reason.

00:09:42.803 --> 00:09:45.086
It can be we have too many kids here.

00:09:46.142 --> 00:09:47.486
We don't like the look of you.

00:09:48.139 --> 00:09:49.423
We don't like that.

00:09:49.484 --> 00:09:51.610
You didn't pay your rent on time.

00:09:51.610 --> 00:09:53.826
We didn't like how you're walking down the street.

00:09:53.826 --> 00:09:58.291
You pissed off the wrong crossing guard right.

00:09:58.291 --> 00:10:05.188
The federal government has a right to revoke the visa and there's no habeas corpus there.

00:10:05.188 --> 00:10:06.383
It's you have no visa.

00:10:06.403 --> 00:10:07.626
No, no no, that was it.

00:10:08.529 --> 00:10:12.008
Right Now you need to GTFO, you need to get the family out, right, okay.

00:10:12.008 --> 00:10:14.187
So that's a little bit different issue.

00:10:14.187 --> 00:10:18.250
I pretty much have little problem on those.

00:10:18.250 --> 00:10:34.051
When you're out protesting because again I support Israel and I look at all this stuff that's going on in Palestine protesting because again, I support Israel and I I look at all this stuff that's going on in Palestine and I've said, look, you didn't want this stuff going, you shouldn't have gone in and done October 17th or October 7th.

00:10:34.051 --> 00:10:45.173
You go in and kick a guy in the shin and say F you and he catches you and puts you on the ground and starts beating the living crap out of you.

00:10:45.173 --> 00:10:48.408
Well, you probably shouldn't kick the guy in the shins.

00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:52.791
Oh yeah, but you can't exterminate an entire race of people for that, though.

00:10:52.791 --> 00:10:54.306
That's what we started to get to.

00:10:54.306 --> 00:11:11.023
That's what we started to get the questionable, questionable actions Right, like I mean Israel if we were, if we were to take the names off of this aggression Right, let's say, we removed Israel and Palestine and we just had country and country B Right.

00:11:11.023 --> 00:11:25.230
There is no international court that would not rule, rule this as intended, intended eradication of a of a population, and that is absolutely a war crime.

00:11:25.269 --> 00:11:26.312
So here's why I disagree.

00:11:26.312 --> 00:11:39.534
Now, I don't know what the numbers exactly are right now, but when you're looking at the percentage of Israeli citizens that died on that day, I believe it was close to 1% of the population, from the terrorists and the hostages.

00:11:39.534 --> 00:11:41.306
And all that Wait, no way.

00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:44.966
That was not a mass kill, sorry, 0.1%.

00:11:45.066 --> 00:11:47.092
I was going to say, yeah, no way, that was not a mess.

00:11:47.113 --> 00:11:49.548
Sorry, 0.1%.

00:11:49.548 --> 00:11:51.534
I'm going to say, yeah, 1%.

00:11:51.575 --> 00:11:51.735
Yeah.

00:11:51.735 --> 00:12:00.254
So I look at it like this and I say, okay, so if you're going to do that, and I'd be curious what the actual percentage in.

00:12:00.254 --> 00:12:00.875
Palestine is.

00:12:00.875 --> 00:12:20.005
Palestine is Because the other part of it is when the terrorists, when October 7th happened, it was targeting civilians, purposefully targeting civilians, families, old people, young people.

00:12:20.005 --> 00:12:31.236
It's as bad as anything you can possibly see OK, including babies getting stomped on and laughed at by these, these terrorists.

00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:33.221
Let's be fair.

00:12:33.221 --> 00:12:34.585
Let's, let's be fair.

00:12:34.585 --> 00:12:39.333
The Israeli army has had more than their fair share of the same.

00:12:39.333 --> 00:12:43.427
So there are there, have there have we, not we?

00:12:43.427 --> 00:12:45.373
We cannot say I for not to for two.

00:12:45.373 --> 00:12:52.392
Then they'd be like oh well, they're bad because they were kicking babies, like the Israeli, but I do the Israeli army is known.

00:12:53.600 --> 00:13:00.594
Well, I mean, hold on before you go, because the Israeli Israeli army is known for playing bully ball and blending and blurring the lines.

00:13:00.594 --> 00:13:02.888
That's why the US uses them as a hit job.

00:13:02.888 --> 00:13:18.312
So we know, we know whenever you call in the Israelis, you're going to get dirty, they're going to cut off the body cameras, they're going to cut off the body cameras and then they're going to throw a pistol under you and they're going to tell you stop resisting while they beat the shit out of you.

00:13:18.312 --> 00:13:19.177
That's just how the?

00:13:19.177 --> 00:13:20.081
Israelis get down.

00:13:21.182 --> 00:13:21.683
But go ahead.

00:13:21.683 --> 00:13:29.943
So do you dispute thatrael drops pamphlets and warns civilians to get out of certain areas, which is well documented?

00:13:29.943 --> 00:13:31.187
Sure they do?

00:13:32.107 --> 00:13:33.850
okay, and then?

00:13:33.850 --> 00:13:39.275
But two things can be true, two things can be absolutely they can, they can absolutely, they can absolutely.

00:13:39.275 --> 00:13:42.750
You know, because they, they do the pr thing, they, they do the pr thing.

00:13:42.750 --> 00:13:43.533
Hey, we're dropping leases.

00:13:43.533 --> 00:13:46.923
Of course, we gave them fair warning, we gave them fair warning, we gave them fair warning.

00:13:46.923 --> 00:13:49.311
But there's no way in the hell you're going to tell me.

00:13:49.311 --> 00:13:59.267
There's no way in the hell you're going to tell me a four-year-old or a three-year-old or two-year-old baby, still wearing diapers, getting shot in the head, is an enemy combatant because we dropped pamphlets.

00:13:59.267 --> 00:14:00.928
Well, we dropped pamphlets a week ago.

00:14:01.129 --> 00:14:01.429
Hold on.

00:14:01.429 --> 00:14:04.374
First of all, I agree that that's any time.

00:14:04.374 --> 00:14:06.076
That that is a situation is horrible.

00:14:06.076 --> 00:14:16.414
I will also say this, though A lot of those videos that came out from Hamas were able to be shown that Israel was like these people getting shot, getting snipered.

00:14:16.414 --> 00:14:18.120
We didn't even have troops there.

00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:23.144
That was on the southern border, and it was us, and it was Hamas shooting their own people.

00:14:23.283 --> 00:14:23.965
Wait a minute.

00:14:23.965 --> 00:14:27.667
There's been, yeah, there's been propaganda, right, but propaganda on both sides.

00:14:27.667 --> 00:14:28.248
The same way.

00:14:28.248 --> 00:14:30.568
Israel has been like oh see, they killed that.

00:14:30.568 --> 00:14:31.289
You know they did it.

00:14:31.289 --> 00:14:43.398
But what I'm saying is you've had more than your fair share, like when the Israelis destroyed that aid, that aid convoy on camera, when they clearly had their sirens flashed, and what did they do?

00:14:43.398 --> 00:14:53.774
They went on, they went on and they ran the PR and said, oh, we didn't know who they were, but then the video from the people inside the convoy clearly shown that they were properly identified.

00:14:53.774 --> 00:15:00.881
So I mean, at a certain point, right, your reputation precedes you and we know that.

00:15:00.923 --> 00:15:02.908
The Israeli army, we know how to get down.

00:15:02.908 --> 00:15:04.620
That's why we use Right.

00:15:04.620 --> 00:15:09.664
I've worked beside them, I've trained them, I know how to get down.

00:15:09.664 --> 00:15:15.708
They will look at the rules and be like yeah, ok, ok, if we don't get caught, we don't get caught.

00:15:15.708 --> 00:15:21.433
If we get caught, we say I'm sorry, hey, man, listen, I'm going to give you the rules and you do what you want to do from there.

00:15:21.433 --> 00:15:22.413
And that's how they play.

00:15:22.413 --> 00:15:26.778
Even in training, even in training, they were roughing dudes up.

00:15:38.039 --> 00:15:38.043
And it was a.

00:15:38.043 --> 00:15:40.121
It was a training event, so I can only imagine what they're like with no cameras around and the hinges off and the handcuffs off, so to speak.

00:15:40.121 --> 00:15:41.153
So, yeah, ok, kj, so let's make this personal.

00:15:41.153 --> 00:15:42.631
Let's make this personal.

00:15:42.631 --> 00:16:12.129
Then, sure, you are out on the street and five or six guys come up walking up around you and they start harassing you and they start throwing stuff at you and kicking you and you're just kind of doing everything you can and they're hitting you and smacking you and then finally you snap and you beat the crap out of all six of them.

00:16:12.129 --> 00:16:13.313
Right, you just turn around and beat the living crap.

00:16:13.313 --> 00:16:16.789
You take the first one, drop him with an you jack reacher these guys, yeah, you pull the jack reacher, sure then.

00:16:17.010 --> 00:16:24.793
And then you're walking down the street a couple years later and the same guys, plus a couple more, they come up and they do the same thing and you snap again.

00:16:24.793 --> 00:16:29.162
The whole time you beat the living crap out of them.

00:16:29.162 --> 00:16:39.846
Now fast forward a month or two later, maybe a couple more years later, right Now this time, they come in and they grab one of your kids and they stab your mom.

00:16:39.846 --> 00:16:40.587
What are you going to do?

00:16:40.587 --> 00:16:46.086
There's a point where Israel there's only so many, and the whole time you've been going, hey, you know what?

00:16:46.086 --> 00:16:46.788
I know these guys.

00:16:46.788 --> 00:16:47.910
I've been watching these guys.

00:16:47.910 --> 00:16:52.206
When I can, you know, I make sure to take their guns away.

00:16:52.206 --> 00:16:56.945
If I can get a single without being, I break in their house and maybe steal their guns, whatever.

00:16:56.945 --> 00:17:01.802
But these guys keep antagonizing and that's the history of Israel, and I can.

00:17:01.802 --> 00:17:05.809
I know I already know certain people are going to be like oh, that's really simplified.

00:17:05.809 --> 00:17:06.730
Yeah, it is.

00:17:06.730 --> 00:17:09.520
It's very simplified because we're talking about a 70 year history.

00:17:10.663 --> 00:17:17.723
I just look at it as there's a point where you have these Israel doesn't mess around because they can't mess around.

00:17:17.723 --> 00:17:21.172
When they start messing around, they will be wiped out.

00:17:21.172 --> 00:17:23.163
They will not be on this earth anymore.

00:17:23.684 --> 00:17:28.054
I've heard that since the inception of Israel and they have not been wiped out yet.

00:17:28.054 --> 00:17:29.142
But you know what they have done.

00:17:29.142 --> 00:17:35.413
You're right, they wiped out a shit ton of Palestinians to the point to their damn near extinct.

00:17:35.413 --> 00:17:38.144
That is that.

00:17:38.144 --> 00:17:46.632
That is where we have the blurring of lines, right, we and I you know call me a pessimist, but I've seen this playbook.

00:17:46.632 --> 00:17:57.614
It's the oh, we got to get to them before they get to us, though, right, and every time we see that in history it turns out the person that's throwing their hands up.

00:17:57.614 --> 00:17:59.761
It's like wrestling, right, it's always.

00:17:59.761 --> 00:18:04.173
In wrestling, it's always the heel who cries to the referee.

00:18:04.173 --> 00:18:11.573
They're picking on me, they're picking on me, and as soon as the referee turns their back, they're kicking the damn guy in the groin, or something like that.

00:18:11.573 --> 00:18:16.102
So I just, I hear you Absolutely.

00:18:16.102 --> 00:18:17.909
I'm not saying, hey, ali, how you doing?

00:18:17.909 --> 00:18:19.907
Oh man, what's up, girl, how you doing?

00:18:19.907 --> 00:18:26.113
No, we, I don't dispute at all that they have a right to defend themselves.

00:18:27.303 --> 00:18:27.503
But what?

00:18:27.503 --> 00:18:29.349
Let me ask you a question yeah, go ahead.

00:18:29.349 --> 00:18:31.143
How many people now?

00:18:31.143 --> 00:18:39.089
Now, I can only go by the estimates here given by Gaza's health ministry, and my guess is Gaza's health ministry is higher than.

00:18:39.089 --> 00:18:45.891
They're probably inflating the real number, right, ok, but You're talking about wiping out, okay.

00:18:45.891 --> 00:18:52.278
So how many palestinians have been killed since, since the uh october 7th massacre?

00:18:52.298 --> 00:19:00.269
oh, so I don't know, somewhere between 60 and 100 k somewhere.

00:19:00.269 --> 00:19:03.673
I'll give it a 40,000.

00:19:04.034 --> 00:19:06.317
As of May 12th 2025.

00:19:06.317 --> 00:19:13.374
I don't know how they do that since today's May 11th, but I'm going by, you know, Google.

00:19:13.374 --> 00:19:20.393
So, maybe their numbers are off, but it says that Gaza's health ministry has reported 45,000.

00:19:20.393 --> 00:19:25.451
Okay, okay, so how many people were in Palestine in 2023?

00:19:28.259 --> 00:19:33.107
I don't know what, maybe a mil, half a mil 5.5 mil.

00:19:34.089 --> 00:19:34.369
Okay.

00:19:34.369 --> 00:19:46.571
So if you're going from 5.5 mil and 50,000 dead, let's see 5 million, 500,000, 5 million, 500,000, 50,000.

00:19:46.571 --> 00:19:48.565
You're talking about again.

00:19:48.565 --> 00:19:54.047
Let's see 500,000 is 10%, 50,000 is 1%.

00:19:54.047 --> 00:19:58.849
1% versus less than 1%.

00:19:58.849 --> 00:20:03.711
That's a lot of Palestinians still left around.

00:20:03.711 --> 00:20:09.846
It's not justifying, it's not for now but I got to hold tight, though.

00:20:10.249 --> 00:20:16.509
Here's the thing right, we say Taliban is a terrorist organization because they vowed to wipe Israel off the map.

00:20:16.509 --> 00:20:20.805
Right, and then we say as Balo, are you talking?

00:20:20.825 --> 00:20:21.446
about Taliban or?

00:20:21.467 --> 00:20:24.599
Hamas, well, taliban, for for different reasons.

00:20:24.599 --> 00:20:39.519
I'm saying, when you, when you categorize a terrorist organization, one of the main themes of that terroristic organization is their intent to wipe another population off the map, to make them extinct, right.

00:20:39.519 --> 00:20:56.805
So when you hear the prime minister of Israel say that he won't stop until every Palestinian is dead, that's a problem on an international scale, because if anybody else says it, it is a cold red terrorist organization.

00:20:56.805 --> 00:21:04.565
But because we have to support Israel, because Israel must be defended and all that, so we turn a blind eye to it.

00:21:04.565 --> 00:21:12.873
And I understand the politics of the game, right, israel knows where all our bodies are buried, mainly because they're the ones doing the burying.

00:21:12.873 --> 00:21:15.387
So I understand why.

00:21:15.387 --> 00:21:22.473
But at the same time, we'd be remiss to sit back and say, oh well, israel has a right to defend itself.

00:21:22.473 --> 00:21:24.041
Ok, so will.

00:21:24.041 --> 00:21:30.759
Israel has the right to defend itself.

00:21:30.779 --> 00:21:43.788
Okay, I think what you're referring to is this Netanyahu says Israel's goal is to wipe out all possibility of a Palestinian state.

00:21:43.788 --> 00:21:46.807
That's very different than wiping out all Palestinians.

00:21:46.807 --> 00:21:50.684
Fair, because here's the other thing.

00:21:50.684 --> 00:21:51.669
Or that statement is true.

00:21:52.960 --> 00:21:57.612
Well, and that's the problem is when we you know you said that, hey, whose words.

00:21:57.612 --> 00:21:59.025
And right with all that.

00:21:59.025 --> 00:22:07.759
Sure, so you're talking about Israel with 10 million people, Palestine with five and a half million people.

00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:09.285
You know that's not really a fair fight.

00:22:09.285 --> 00:22:16.388
Except Israel is on its own, outside of really being.

00:22:16.388 --> 00:22:21.347
The United States has definitely taken care of Israel, Got it, but as far as boots on the ground.

00:22:32.740 --> 00:22:33.682
But as far as boots on the ground, you've got.

00:22:33.701 --> 00:22:34.923
Palestine, syria, lebanon, iran, iraq, saudi Arabia.

00:22:34.923 --> 00:22:35.704
Who you said Taliban, which would be?

00:22:35.704 --> 00:22:42.755
I'm not going to include the Taliban in that, but ISIS, some of the terrorists, egypt, so so around Israel, you've got nobody that's friendly.

00:22:42.755 --> 00:22:47.262
Nobody that's friendly like when.

00:22:47.262 --> 00:22:49.372
That's one of the things that really blew me away about Trump's first 45 is the Abraham.

00:22:49.372 --> 00:22:52.301
I think it was the Abraham Accords is what they were calling, or is that Carter.

00:22:53.183 --> 00:23:21.852
Anyway, the peace deal, the peace deal that basically Trump had in place and one of the things that happened with October 7th, if the reporting is accurate, one of the reasons that Hamas attacked Israel was because there was going to be a peace deal where, I believe, saudi Arabia was ready to actively recognize Israel and so part of that was to shut down that recognition.

00:23:21.852 --> 00:23:26.211
So I mean there's a lot of geopolitical stuff that's going on.

00:23:26.211 --> 00:23:34.394
I personally look at Israel like Liam Neeson in Taken, because Israel has a certain set of skills.

00:23:34.394 --> 00:23:38.523
You came in and you took its citizens and they still don't forget.

00:23:38.523 --> 00:23:46.736
There's still dozens of Hostages that that are in custody by Palestine and by Hamas.

00:23:46.736 --> 00:23:51.445
So I just I don't have a lot of I have.

00:23:51.445 --> 00:23:57.174
I have sympathy for any noncombatant that gets killed in any situation.

00:23:57.174 --> 00:24:06.273
You and I I remember we talked about this a while ago and you said that Hamas was not voted on by you know it was kind of like they had to vote for Hamas.

00:24:08.221 --> 00:24:09.403
I mean, the rules are the rules.

00:24:09.403 --> 00:24:14.843
To be honest with you, hamas and Israel is like low on the priority poll.

00:24:14.843 --> 00:24:19.592
If Hamas didn't want to be attacked, they shouldn't have left Israel alone.

00:24:19.592 --> 00:24:24.308
However, comma, israel cannot just go around.

00:24:24.308 --> 00:24:31.767
Oh, just because I believe this is mine, I'm just going to be the bully in the block and then claim oh well, we have to take them out before they take us out.

00:24:31.767 --> 00:24:32.923
That's bullshit.

00:24:32.923 --> 00:24:33.705
We know that.

00:24:33.705 --> 00:24:34.863
You know that.

00:24:34.863 --> 00:24:36.709
Every sensible person knows that.

00:24:36.709 --> 00:24:44.170
But that's just how the world works, man, you got the freedom and power backing you.

00:24:44.359 --> 00:24:55.991
it's kind of like get down to lay down but at the same time, israel has done a lot of stuff where they've even held their own people accountable maybe not as much as they should have for going in setting up illegal settlements.

00:24:55.991 --> 00:25:01.652
And all that too, you're talking about y'all I'm talking about over, about the last decade.

00:25:01.652 --> 00:25:06.531
There have been some efforts like you said not as much as they should have.

00:25:06.880 --> 00:25:09.108
I was going to say, yeah, you're going to Netanyahu is not.

00:25:09.108 --> 00:25:10.182
That's like saying that's like.

00:25:10.182 --> 00:25:14.692
That's like saying Putin's, putin's trying to trying to broker a peace deal.

00:25:25.680 --> 00:25:26.382
You know, it's funny that it's funny.

00:25:26.382 --> 00:25:31.660
You just said that, though, because I was actually thinking like Netanyahu is very much like Putin in the sense that he remembers what it's like to fight on the front lines, and so that definitely colors his perception of everybody in the region.

00:25:31.660 --> 00:25:35.248
Speaking of which, let's go to the next one.

00:25:35.248 --> 00:25:35.890
Let's go.

00:25:35.890 --> 00:25:37.365
I think that's an interest with Putin.

00:25:37.365 --> 00:25:59.403
What do you think about Europe to me finally really stepping up to the plate and standing up to Putin and basically giving him an ultimatum that, by tomorrow, if Putin doesn't agree to an immediate ceasefire, they're going to slap sanctions on them.

00:25:59.403 --> 00:26:09.776
I don't know where this has been, but bravo, it's only taken 11 years since the first time Russia came in and took that land in Ukraine.

00:26:10.522 --> 00:26:12.249
When he took Crimea, they should have done it.

00:26:12.249 --> 00:26:14.618
I'm sitting back like, I'm like what are you waiting for?

00:26:14.618 --> 00:26:16.281
But see again too.

00:26:16.281 --> 00:26:24.255
It's another thing where that's why I say I'm not anti-Trump and I've said it yes, you are.

00:26:24.539 --> 00:26:25.324
Oh, just come on.

00:26:25.324 --> 00:26:28.404
Yes, you are, I've said it till I've turned blue in the face.

00:26:28.645 --> 00:26:35.048
I recognize Trump for who he is and what he is, and he is a product of the union.

00:26:35.048 --> 00:26:39.682
Right, I am more concerned about the people, and I told you that during the election cycle.

00:26:39.682 --> 00:26:57.961
It's not so much Trump, because I can deal with one, but when you feel your administration full of people who are people full of ill intent, that's when I have a problem and just like you know, the sky is blue, it's been.

00:26:57.981 --> 00:27:00.086
it's almost prophetic, but that's a different story.

00:27:00.086 --> 00:27:05.375
So what I'm saying is when, when, when Putin annexed Crimea, right, they had an opportunity to stop it.

00:27:05.375 --> 00:27:17.655
When Putin first started lining troops up on the Ukrainian border, talking about it's a training mission, they should have seen that play, because that's the same exact play that they ran in in 39.

00:27:17.655 --> 00:27:20.528
Oh, we're just, we're just training, we're just wait.

00:27:21.780 --> 00:27:22.502
But we're leaving.

00:27:22.502 --> 00:27:23.045
That would be.

00:27:23.045 --> 00:27:23.526
That would be.

00:27:23.526 --> 00:27:25.832
That would be the fascist KJ.

00:27:26.842 --> 00:27:28.308
But I mean, it's the same.

00:27:28.308 --> 00:27:30.480
It's the same playbook that the Americans are running.

00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:34.250
Oh, absolutely, they're just running it and running it on one of the citizens.

00:27:34.250 --> 00:27:41.220
But what I'm saying is, history doesn't repeat itself, but it damn sure mimics itself, right?

00:27:41.220 --> 00:27:46.450
So when you see the play of aggression, right, and you have an opportunity to stop, it same thing I say with the United States.

00:27:46.450 --> 00:27:59.060
Now you see the play of aggression coming, they may not be, they may not be intently saying hey, we're coming after the reconstruction amendments, hey, we're going to test the, we're going to test the limits of this code, just to see what we can get away with.

00:27:59.060 --> 00:28:05.567
They might not tell you that's what they're doing, but their actions very much so prove that that is exactly what they're doing.

00:28:05.567 --> 00:28:12.094
And it's up to it is up to those of concern to stop it.

00:28:12.094 --> 00:28:27.211
And I think right now, the United States is in a similar situation as Europe, except the population of the United States is Europe in this case, and the government is Putin in this case.

00:28:27.211 --> 00:28:42.150
They're going to keep prying and keep trying to get away with stuff, and unless the population decides that enough is enough, we don't know where this line is going to end at, because we're certainly in a cycle of transformation.

00:28:42.150 --> 00:28:45.771
You know how it ends is going to be up to.

00:28:45.771 --> 00:28:47.640
You know what the population can stand.

00:28:47.800 --> 00:29:05.772
But it's interesting, man, being a student of history, you know and I don't want to call myself an expert because it's so much you learn one version of history and then you find something else that completely validates and contradicts everything you learn.

00:29:05.772 --> 00:29:07.123
So you got to relearn it again.

00:29:07.123 --> 00:29:12.902
That's the cool thing about history You're always learning about nuances and changes, right?

00:29:12.902 --> 00:29:20.079
But one irrefutable fact is there's always a hero and a villain, right?

00:29:20.079 --> 00:29:29.609
Somebody's fame conqueror is somebody else's you know, evil, super villain, right?

00:29:29.609 --> 00:29:34.003
That's what I'm saying, depending on what story you read.

00:29:34.003 --> 00:29:34.928
So that's what makes it.

00:29:34.928 --> 00:29:35.742
That's what makes it.

00:29:35.803 --> 00:29:36.866
And that's why I said I can't.

00:29:37.539 --> 00:29:44.323
I can't be mad, being a student of history, but at the same time I recognize it for what it is and like man.

00:29:44.323 --> 00:29:46.087
Hey, they're running the same playbook.

00:29:46.087 --> 00:29:47.471
You should probably take a look at that.

00:29:50.161 --> 00:29:50.421
Yeah.

00:29:50.421 --> 00:29:56.913
And you wonder, you wonder why they didn't.

00:29:56.913 --> 00:30:02.270
But even though they didn't, they continued to, didn't.

00:30:02.270 --> 00:30:03.953
They continued to, didn't he?

00:30:03.953 --> 00:30:06.942
Yeah, if that's a word, right.

00:30:06.942 --> 00:30:13.074
So Trump comes in and Putin kind of lays low for four years.

00:30:13.074 --> 00:30:16.550
Now people say, oh, trump and Putin are besties and all that Okay.

00:30:16.550 --> 00:30:22.169
Well, regardless, he didn't do it, putin didn't do anything else during 45.

00:30:22.169 --> 00:30:25.087
And then here comes 46.

00:30:25.087 --> 00:30:43.607
And I think putin saw an opportunity and he took it because again, he also saw that europe was following kind of the pacifist chamberlain style europe that was going all through there.

00:30:43.607 --> 00:30:48.095
Germany does not want to be involved in any wars.

00:30:48.095 --> 00:30:53.528
France obviously a very left government, leaning government.

00:30:53.528 --> 00:31:03.583
The British have been going further and further left and then opening their borders and being overrun by, especially Muslims.

00:31:04.125 --> 00:31:06.411
I find that extremely ironic though, don't you?

00:31:06.411 --> 00:31:15.035
You have to appreciate the irony in Britain's dilemma right now, right.

00:31:17.001 --> 00:31:26.532
Are you talking about for centuries, Britain going in and taking over populations that were not British?

00:31:27.039 --> 00:31:35.326
Yeah, and then just, you know, just to see it, just to see it being the preeminent issue is like, oh, too many immigrants.

00:31:35.326 --> 00:31:40.575
You're like, well, hell man, you just spent 200 years.

00:31:40.575 --> 00:31:50.386
Yeah, you just spent 200 years making damn near half the world you know, Five or six, 700 years, you just made half the world English.

00:31:50.386 --> 00:31:52.992
And then you're upset that they decided to come home.

00:31:54.941 --> 00:31:55.743
No, you're, you're right.

00:31:55.743 --> 00:31:58.592
It's probably actually three or four hundred years age of expiration.

00:31:58.592 --> 00:32:00.323
But yeah, you're right.

00:32:00.323 --> 00:32:17.965
But I mean, it's kind of amazing that if you go in and you have any real understanding of and this is not a slam on islam, this is not against islam but if you look at islam, they are more than happy to play the very, very long game.

00:32:17.965 --> 00:32:23.508
When you're talking about the long game for islam, we're not talking about years, months or even years.

00:32:23.508 --> 00:32:25.519
We're talking talking about years, months or even years.

00:32:25.519 --> 00:32:27.969
We're talking about decades and centuries.

00:32:27.969 --> 00:32:36.354
And so right now, what you're seeing in England is a takeover of many of the large.

00:32:36.354 --> 00:32:42.212
London has a mayor who is Muslim and a lot of the other big cities do too.

00:32:43.201 --> 00:32:48.765
So they're taking over england bit by bit without shooting a single single weapon.

00:32:48.765 --> 00:32:51.009
Right, and don't get me wrong.

00:32:51.009 --> 00:32:59.482
Of course there are the, the here and there, the terrorists, the stabbings, and those are horrible, and you know, and the problem is like in america.

00:32:59.482 --> 00:33:06.200
You look at america and you see some of that going on, very limited in places like Minneapolis.

00:33:07.784 --> 00:33:11.031
I would say that it's more the Christian nationalists are taking over.

00:33:11.031 --> 00:33:20.134
Right, and I say that with the distinction that Christian nationalists are absolutely and objectively different than Christians.

00:33:20.134 --> 00:33:22.925
Right, so you have a Christian nation in America.

00:33:22.925 --> 00:33:25.172
Right, so you have a Christian nation in America.

00:33:25.172 --> 00:33:48.449
Right, and you have Christians in America, but then you have a subset of Christian nationalists who I deem as an extremist group, and they infiltrated every level of government and now you're starting to see the same thing that Britain is seeing with Muslims, and now you're starting to see the same thing that Britain is seeing with Muslims we see now with Christian nationalists in America.

00:33:48.449 --> 00:34:21.186
Right, and I'll give you an example Right In England, I was just talking to a buddy of mine, over, over and across the pond, as you will and they're upset that the Muslims are trying to infiltrate the school system and get equitable rights to prayer and decide what needs to be taught and what books can be in the school, and it's becoming problematic, right, and I said, man, that's interesting because here in the state we have a lot of Christian nationalist organizations who are doing the exact same thing.

00:34:21.768 --> 00:34:23.572
So to me it's one in the same right.

00:34:23.572 --> 00:34:27.101
I love Christians, I consider myself a Christian.

00:34:27.101 --> 00:34:49.315
However, I also understand and recognize Christian nationalism is the most prominent issue that nobody's addressing in the state right now, I don't want to discount your concern.

00:34:50.742 --> 00:34:52.701
It's hard, right, right.

00:34:52.701 --> 00:35:01.713
But I will say this, and this goes the difference of viewpoint, right, you're coming at it from the blue side and I'm coming at it from the red side.

00:35:01.713 --> 00:35:02.554
Sure.

00:35:02.554 --> 00:35:07.789
You're looking at it saying as a I'm just going to from the red side.

00:35:07.789 --> 00:35:07.927
Sure.

00:35:07.927 --> 00:35:09.547
You're looking at it saying as a I'm just going to say Democrat, so it's easier.

00:35:09.547 --> 00:35:11.527
Sure, let's just say with blue and red right.

00:35:11.527 --> 00:35:12.382
You're good.

00:35:12.382 --> 00:35:12.985
Blue and red.

00:35:13.487 --> 00:35:19.807
Yeah, so as a blue, you're looking at these Christian nationalists coming in and trying to take over government and do those things.

00:35:19.807 --> 00:35:30.574
As a red, I've seen that happening and has happened and well-established entrenchment by what I would call and what Trump calls.

00:35:30.574 --> 00:36:00.349
I wouldn't call it that until Trump, but the deep state that's what it is are more than happy to become part of the New World Order, who think that we are all part of the community of the world, that humanism is more important than any religion, all the stuff that goes against the Judeo-Christian foundations of this country.

00:36:00.349 --> 00:36:02.273
Now people forget.

00:36:02.554 --> 00:36:08.346
One of the things about the Judeo-Christian founding of this country was that A we don't have a national religion.

00:36:08.346 --> 00:36:12.702
There is no single religion endorsed by the United States and never will.

00:36:12.702 --> 00:36:15.469
That's the first amendment to the Constitution.

00:36:15.469 --> 00:36:19.065
That's how important they thought it was.

00:36:19.065 --> 00:36:22.311
It'll never happen because, well, I shouldn't say it'll never happen.

00:36:22.311 --> 00:36:23.313
I think it's more likely.

00:36:23.313 --> 00:36:36.556
Honestly, the way things go, I think it's more likely that Islam or Mormonism becomes the national, because we're the only two groups that continue to have babies at a rate that is well above replacement level, right.

00:36:36.556 --> 00:36:36.835
Yeah.

00:36:38.463 --> 00:37:19.128
So I'm not overly worried about either of those, but I think most people would probably feel a little more comfortable with LDS versus Islam Because, anyway, without going into the whole religious side of it but I think that when you're talking about these things because this goes back to what we were talking about Islam versus Judaism in Israel and Palestine it's strange that you're going to have this conflict because, like realistically most Christians would say, biblically it says you should be peacekeepers, you should be peacemakers, you should turn the other cheek, you should do those things.

00:37:19.128 --> 00:37:29.467
And then you have people on the far right that are Christian nationals that say well, yeah, jesus said to turn your cheek the other time, and if somebody smacks you on the cheek, turn you know how many times.

00:37:29.467 --> 00:37:30.530
It's seven times 70.

00:37:30.530 --> 00:37:34.130
Well, we've been smacked on the cheek more than 70 times, 70 times.

00:37:34.130 --> 00:37:41.527
And now it's time to go in, like the temple, and flip over the table in the temple and go crazy, like Jesus did.

00:37:41.527 --> 00:37:47.391
Okay, meanwhile you have people on the left go, jesus was bisexual, don't you guys know?

00:37:47.391 --> 00:37:49.353
Jesus didn't actually have gender.

00:37:49.353 --> 00:37:53.456
So it's the ridiculousness of like you guys, just read what the Bible.

00:37:54.900 --> 00:37:59.849
If you're going to make the argument of what the Bible says A you should probably know what the Bible says.

00:37:59.849 --> 00:38:04.630
And B use it in context, and that's a big problem.

00:38:04.630 --> 00:38:05.856
Most people don't use it in context, and that's a big problem.

00:38:05.856 --> 00:38:07.429
Most people don't use it in context or they leave things out.

00:38:07.429 --> 00:38:15.570
And they do that with quotes too, like, not biblical quotes necessarily, but those as well, like.

00:38:15.570 --> 00:38:17.846
I remember one the customer is never wrong, right.

00:38:17.846 --> 00:38:20.746
Well, the full quote is the customer is never wrong.

00:38:20.746 --> 00:38:26.630
The customer is never wrong in terms of taste.

00:38:26.630 --> 00:38:31.146
I think is the full quote, which means yeah, they like the customer's never wrong.

00:38:31.146 --> 00:38:38.190
If they say they want a pink flamingo fluffy outside their door, they're not wrong because that's their taste, right.

00:38:38.190 --> 00:38:47.963
Another one was what is it when you copy somebody is the sincerest form of flattery oh yeah, what was it?

00:38:48.103 --> 00:38:50.224
imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

00:38:50.224 --> 00:38:51.686
Yeah, but there's more to it.

00:38:51.686 --> 00:38:52.682
Yeah.

00:38:52.682 --> 00:38:53.726
They don't continue to quote.

00:38:53.746 --> 00:39:05.748
Yeah imitation is the clearest form of flattery when it comes to the mediocre yeah reaching for greatness or something like that.

00:39:05.940 --> 00:39:24.148
It's like, yeah, you suck, and so you're trying to copy somebody who's awesome, but you suck, so you can't read my favorite one is the constitution is the founding document, the principal document of this nation, and I've read it cover to cover and I keep it close to my heart because this is how much it means to me.

00:39:24.148 --> 00:39:28.391
But they don't know anything in the Constitution.

00:39:28.391 --> 00:39:32.443
That is my favorite so far, or at least it's your favorite.

00:39:33.527 --> 00:39:35.331
Okay, let's be fair.

00:39:35.331 --> 00:39:38.949
The Constitution is not the easiest read.

00:39:38.949 --> 00:39:50.121
A, I'll give you Well B, a, b, well B.

00:39:50.121 --> 00:39:52.579
You have lawyers, you have judges and you have Supreme Court justices who argue what the Constitution says.

00:39:52.579 --> 00:39:57.452
So, like, for me, that's kind of when I go back and again, perception is reality.

00:39:57.452 --> 00:40:02.005
So I read certain things and I go well, of course, alito's right, that's exactly what it says.

00:40:02.005 --> 00:40:09.706
And somebody else goes, especially when they lose, like if it's Clarence, thomas and Alito, they're going hey, we're over here and the other seven are over there.

00:40:09.706 --> 00:40:16.442
I can go well, clearly, yeah, I mean, it's Thomas and Alito, that's my worldview is, yeah, I agree with them out of my worldview.

00:40:16.442 --> 00:40:22.929
So of course I'm going to be more partial to them, but I can't really argue that the other seven are idiots.

00:40:22.929 --> 00:40:27.217
You know, I I think the dissents generally.

00:40:27.217 --> 00:40:38.503
To me the dissents are honestly better reading than the majority stuff I have been pleasantly surprised with scotus this season, like I am.

00:40:38.822 --> 00:40:39.284
I told you.

00:40:39.284 --> 00:40:42.086
But see, I told you before I said I am going to be.

00:40:42.086 --> 00:40:50.742
I knew going in, I said Trump 2.0 is going to test the limits of SCOTUS and I was especially.

00:40:50.742 --> 00:40:56.833
And I told I remember telling you specifically, I have to watch Clarence because he is such an originalist.

00:40:56.833 --> 00:41:06.190
I have to see how much he's going to let POTUS get away with him and Alito are hilarious.

00:41:06.190 --> 00:41:06.690
Have you been?

00:41:06.690 --> 00:41:11.407
Have you been reading the judgments and like the commentary from from the justice?

00:41:11.407 --> 00:41:13.793
Yeah, holy they are.

00:41:13.793 --> 00:41:17.407
But I can only imagine in my mind and you got the baby.

00:41:17.407 --> 00:41:19.672
You got the baby justices who are?

00:41:19.672 --> 00:41:26.197
They're more moderate than than I would imagine the reds would have preferred when they elected them.

00:41:26.197 --> 00:41:28.885
Especially they are not textualists.

00:41:29.166 --> 00:41:33.523
They are not at all at all and that is pissing this administration off.

00:41:33.523 --> 00:41:34.264
And he's like dude.

00:41:34.264 --> 00:41:38.813
I think I love the chaos because the scope.

00:41:38.813 --> 00:41:49.556
I'm telling you and I don't know why I tell people all the time, like I knew for a while, like I told you, I've been done with Congress for a long time Like they are ineffective, they just we should flush all of them out.

00:41:49.556 --> 00:41:52.989
But SCOTUS is like that's why I thought I didn't when they were.

00:41:52.989 --> 00:42:07.907
I think we were having a conversation about Amy Comey, barrett and and Kavanaugh when they were getting elected Right and a lot of people on the left was, was in an uproar about this elected right and a lot of people on the left was, was in an uproar about this, that.

00:42:07.947 --> 00:42:08.469
And I was like, hold on.

00:42:08.469 --> 00:42:12.621
I was like if you go back and you look at the way they, they, they've ruled, this may not be as bad as you think.

00:42:12.621 --> 00:42:14.608
And everybody, you know, I remember I got destroyed.

00:42:14.608 --> 00:42:19.268
I remember for like two weeks straight I got destroyed right, bootlicker, you know this, that and the other.

00:42:19.268 --> 00:42:28.771
And then I, I, you know I don't want to toot my own horn and pat myself on the back, but I got to tell you, man the baby, scotuses, even Ketanji the baby Scotuses.

00:42:28.771 --> 00:42:30.695
I am super impressed with man.

00:42:30.695 --> 00:42:38.393
It's just I knew that those older Scotuses were going to have an aneurysm because they're such originalists.

00:42:38.699 --> 00:42:52.882
And then when you have guys like Stephen Miller and you have Pam Bundy, and these guys are saying, oh well, the constitution is subjective, I can just see the vein in Clarence Thomas's neck bulging like what.

00:42:52.882 --> 00:42:58.072
And so Alito even had to come out and I think he was doing an interview.

00:42:58.072 --> 00:42:59.782
Was it last week or week before last?

00:42:59.782 --> 00:43:05.418
He did an interview where he he sat back, said listen, judges rule, and that's the Supreme Court.

00:43:05.418 --> 00:43:09.222
We rule based on the Constitution, end of story.

00:43:09.222 --> 00:43:18.027
He didn't say no names, he didn't say what it was sent to, but he let it be known clearly like yo, this is what we're judging off of.

00:43:18.027 --> 00:43:20.226
Stop the madness, right.

00:43:23.001 --> 00:43:23.804
Here's the funny thing.

00:43:23.804 --> 00:43:25.666
There's two parts of that.

00:43:25.666 --> 00:43:28.219
Remind me that second part about that, about the judges.

00:43:28.219 --> 00:43:43.420
But yeah, in 2019, when everybody was freaking out about Kavanaugh, because when whoever died at the end of Obama's and then the Republicans blocked, that was Ruth Baker.

00:43:43.460 --> 00:43:44.442
They wouldn't, they wouldn't die.

00:43:44.442 --> 00:43:46.045
Yeah, they wouldn't, they wouldn.

00:43:46.045 --> 00:43:46.545
Uh, that was Ruth Baker.

00:43:46.545 --> 00:43:47.186
They wouldn't.

00:43:47.186 --> 00:43:47.806
They wouldn't let her.

00:43:47.806 --> 00:43:49.268
Yeah, they wouldn't, they wouldn't let her feel Ruth again.

00:43:49.289 --> 00:43:50.210
I don't remember who, what.

00:43:50.210 --> 00:44:11.449
No, she, no, no, no, no, no that was, that was 2019 because it was in 20, in 2015, somebody else, somebody else passed, and but our RGB remembered they were all talking about her.

00:44:11.449 --> 00:44:12.452
Oh, you might be right.

00:44:12.452 --> 00:44:15.208
They were talking about her retiring, you might be right.

00:44:15.309 --> 00:44:15.489
Yeah.

00:44:16.641 --> 00:44:17.467
Yeah, you're right, you're right.

00:44:17.467 --> 00:44:28.650
So so the Republicans blocked it Right, and then, in 2019, uh, before Trump was out, somebody died and the Democrats weren't able to block it Right.

00:44:28.650 --> 00:44:29.210
Okay.

00:44:30.141 --> 00:44:41.367
So one of the things for me was I said, well, look, I'm, I'm more than happy for trump to get this and put it in and everybody's like, oh, they're gonna have a republican and and majority, blah, blah, blah.

00:44:41.367 --> 00:44:44.394
And I said you guys, I don't think you understand.

00:44:44.394 --> 00:44:55.463
Like if you put, if you put textualists in there or conservatives in there, they're going to limit trump's power, like they're going to that's what power, like they're going to, that's what traditionalists are going to do.

00:44:55.463 --> 00:45:10.423
And so that's the funny thing is, how many times now have we seen where this administration is pushing the boundaries and I don't blame, honestly, I don't blame them for pushing the boundaries and then SCOTUS is doing their job of saying, no, that's too far.

00:45:10.423 --> 00:45:17.523
Now here's the other thing that this is one of my bigger problems with what, um, you said.

00:45:17.523 --> 00:45:23.617
It was alito that said it yeah, that was alito okay so how?

00:45:23.797 --> 00:45:24.579
what did he say?

00:45:24.579 --> 00:45:35.409
Because I want to know the quote right I'll see if I can get it okay, because words matter and and the way you said that there's a little.

00:45:35.409 --> 00:45:46.561
There's something I want to say, but I want to make sure it was the right quote, because I I would hate to have the wrong quote here cool, give me a sec, I, I think I can get it up no problem, luckily it's just ally.

00:45:46.561 --> 00:45:49.909
So hi, ally, I didn't say hi earlier maybe ally's not even on anymore.

00:45:50.110 --> 00:45:51.681
Who knows, maybe she's just got in the background.

00:45:51.681 --> 00:45:54.527
Oh, where's that in liberty, by the way?

00:45:55.268 --> 00:45:55.789
they'll be in.

00:45:55.789 --> 00:45:57.693
They pop in usually a little bit later.

00:45:57.693 --> 00:45:59.583
A little bit later.

00:45:59.583 --> 00:46:03.909
I can't find it um jesus.

00:46:03.909 --> 00:46:04.411
Where is he?

00:46:04.411 --> 00:46:04.911
I?

00:46:04.952 --> 00:46:05.932
cannot find it right now.

00:46:06.333 --> 00:46:10.344
Oh, there he goes, talk about something.

00:46:10.344 --> 00:46:20.934
Talk about something, fill the air while I, while I find it, it's gonna take me so if you find it, and this is why I say that, okay, the judicial, let's.

00:46:21.034 --> 00:46:26.014
Let's go back to saturday morning cartoons and the schoolhouse rock.

00:46:26.014 --> 00:46:27.639
There are three branches of government.

00:46:27.639 --> 00:46:31.786
There is the legislature legislative which makes the laws.

00:46:31.786 --> 00:46:36.494
There's the judicial, which interprets the laws, whether they're constitutional or not.

00:46:36.494 --> 00:46:40.251
And then there's the executive, which is supposed to enforce the laws.

00:46:41.420 --> 00:46:48.170
And it was never the intent of the framers that I can find that.

00:46:48.170 --> 00:46:56.590
The intent was that the judicial was the end-all, be-all and whatever the judicial said, that was just it.

00:46:56.590 --> 00:47:00.951
And they trump the other two.

00:47:00.951 --> 00:47:16.813
And that's where we're at, I think, 206 years later, where the judicial has especially the Supreme Court has, I think, way more power than the framers meant them to have.

00:47:16.813 --> 00:47:19.346
I think it was supposed to be much more equal.

00:47:19.346 --> 00:47:22.400
And you can say well, they don't really have that much power.

00:47:22.481 --> 00:47:53.293
But when you have a judge, a federal judge in, I don't know, let's just say randomly, let's say New Mexico, right, and New Mexico judge says I don't like what the administration is doing and we've had this argument, but I'm going to file, I'm going to sign an injunction that limits what the president of the United States can do when it comes to border security or when it comes to ejecting people from this country or whatever it is right.

00:47:53.293 --> 00:48:00.753
And so, again, this falls back to a large degree to the legislature not doing their jobs.

00:48:00.753 --> 00:48:05.771
It also comes down to what you and I and Greg Easterbrook were talking about a few weeks ago.

00:48:05.771 --> 00:48:17.543
If the executive branch basically says to the judicial even the Supreme Court and I understand the constitutional crisis and all that right.

00:48:17.543 --> 00:48:31.576
But if the executive branch says, okay, we're going to deport all MS-13, we don't care what the court says, you can say habeas corpus, to take it full.

00:48:31.576 --> 00:48:38.179
You know, we, you, the judicial say hey, if you don't, if you don't do this, we're going to file an injunction.

00:48:38.320 --> 00:48:42.972
And then the and the white house says and like, what's going to happen?

00:48:42.972 --> 00:48:47.710
You could impeach, and that's where the legislature comes in and would be doing their job in that case.

00:48:47.710 --> 00:48:52.992
Um, but at the same time, impeachment's a pretty high bar these days.

00:48:52.992 --> 00:48:57.050
And so are Republicans going to turn around and impeach Trump?

00:48:57.050 --> 00:48:59.166
I doubt it.

00:48:59.166 --> 00:49:01.045
I mean, do you think they would do that?

00:49:02.360 --> 00:49:04.849
OK, so that's a, that's a bridge.

00:49:04.849 --> 00:49:07.382
That's a bridge very, very far, man, I don't know.

00:49:07.422 --> 00:49:11.943
Right, no, no, no, I don't think that's all honestly so, ok, so, but let's go.

00:49:11.943 --> 00:49:12.994
Let that would have been the case at all, honestly.

00:49:12.994 --> 00:49:13.498
Okay, but let's go down.

00:49:13.498 --> 00:49:18.945
What the argument from the left is Okay, is that Okay?

00:49:18.945 --> 00:49:36.063
We're going to take it full circle with habeas corpus, the court's rule, including the Supreme Court, that every and I don't think this is right personally, but every person in this country illegally has to be in front of a judge because of habeas corpus.

00:49:36.063 --> 00:49:43.407
Now, that includes those that the order has already been signed by a judge.

00:49:43.407 --> 00:49:46.773
It includes those who have missed their hearing, whatever the case is.

00:49:46.813 --> 00:49:48.021
They have the opportunity, but they don't care.

00:49:48.021 --> 00:49:52.063
So then they call up the lawyer and they say hey, I'm at the ICE detention center.

00:49:52.063 --> 00:49:53.347
They gave me the one call.

00:49:53.347 --> 00:50:02.012
The lawyer goes running down habeas corpus, and there's enough of these that it goes immediately up an emergency up to the Supreme Court.

00:50:02.012 --> 00:50:17.793
The Supreme Court says every single person who was arrested, whether legally in this country or not, no matter what their status, whether they are a student, whether they're an MS gang member or whether they're just somebody that is scheduled for deportation, has to have habeas corpus.

00:50:17.793 --> 00:50:21.710
They have to personally, physically, appear in front of a judge.

00:50:21.710 --> 00:50:24.809
And Trump says, nah, we're not going to.

00:50:24.809 --> 00:50:28.367
We're going to take them and throw them on a plane and we're going to send them out.

00:50:28.367 --> 00:50:29.952
To what country?

00:50:29.952 --> 00:50:33.829
He just said that there was a country that said they were in negotiations for taking a lot of these guys.

00:50:33.829 --> 00:50:36.097
I don't remember who it was I don't know.

00:50:36.177 --> 00:50:44.393
I know we're, I know we're in venezuela now, but I can't remember libya yeah, there was gaddafi, whoever it was okay.

00:50:44.673 --> 00:50:51.000
So let's, let's say guiana, french, french guiana, let's make it, let's make it interesting, let's make it exotic.

00:50:51.000 --> 00:50:57.909
They're gonna, they're gonna send people to French Guiana, right, and so they keep grabbing.

00:50:57.909 --> 00:51:04.954
Well, el Salvador is a few, but there's another country that just recently said they're in negotiations.

00:51:04.954 --> 00:51:06.202
I think it's Libya.

00:51:06.242 --> 00:51:07.887
I think Libya is the hot spot.

00:51:08.449 --> 00:51:08.750
Is it Libya?

00:51:08.750 --> 00:51:11.407
Yeah, it may have been Hot spot, literally.

00:51:11.407 --> 00:51:13.244
Okay, well, whoever it is.

00:51:13.244 --> 00:51:17.371
So then the Trump administration says, nope, we're going to keep doing it.

00:51:17.371 --> 00:51:23.393
And the Supreme Court says, no, here's what, like, we are keeping habeas corpus.

00:51:23.393 --> 00:51:28.005
And the Trump administration says, no, we're not going to, we are going to keep doing this.

00:51:28.005 --> 00:51:38.507
So then, what is the next step, the only way to make any change in that situation?

00:51:38.547 --> 00:51:39.670
I believe would be impeachment now.

00:51:39.670 --> 00:51:44.304
Well, congress would have to clarify before that, congress will have to clarify which is which is.

00:51:44.304 --> 00:51:47.172
That's a dual that.

00:51:47.172 --> 00:52:03.106
But a lot of that would be a lot of that would be circumvented if congress would just do their damn job in the first place, which is why, which is why I loathe congress so much like hey, dude, make it plain, you had a majority.

00:52:03.226 --> 00:52:06.974
If you decide there, there's no way the blue team can block you.

00:52:06.974 --> 00:52:11.367
If you decide that this is what it's going to be, then that's just what it's going to be, then that's just what it's going to be.

00:52:11.367 --> 00:52:20.905
The problem is we have too many representatives in both chambers of Congress that are afraid to have a decision on their record because it'll come back to bite them.

00:52:21.186 --> 00:52:23.346
That's why I told you oh no they're going to get primaried.

00:52:24.081 --> 00:52:25.585
The government's full of grifters, man.

00:52:25.585 --> 00:52:29.362
They don't want to cut off the money train, so they're not going to make a decision.

00:52:29.362 --> 00:52:36.925
Like I said, depending on which way the wind blowing Lindsey Graham is going to bend and fold Like I'm, I'm so.

00:52:36.925 --> 00:52:43.043
I'm so disgusted with our Democratic Somebody sent me something.

00:52:43.304 --> 00:52:43.905
It was so funny.

00:52:43.905 --> 00:52:46.411
Somebody sent me something on Lindsey Graham.

00:52:46.411 --> 00:52:49.126
Some tweet, right, and it was just this ridiculous tweet.

00:52:49.126 --> 00:52:51.193
It goes Lindsey Graham is the most spineless guy.

00:52:51.193 --> 00:52:51.635
This ridiculous tweet.

00:52:51.635 --> 00:52:53.059
He goes Lindsey Graham is the most spineless guy.

00:52:53.059 --> 00:52:54.364
And I read it.

00:52:54.364 --> 00:52:54.606
I went dude.

00:52:54.606 --> 00:52:58.161
This is clearly a parody, but the funny thing is it could have been real.

00:52:58.161 --> 00:53:01.023
Lindsey Graham is the perfect example of that.

00:53:01.666 --> 00:53:10.244
It's so sickening man to where I don't care what you stand for, I can stand for something.

00:53:10.244 --> 00:53:11.536
You know what I'm saying.

00:53:11.536 --> 00:53:12.605
It's not that difficult.

00:53:12.605 --> 00:53:22.025
I can understand and respect you saying, hey, this is not how it's going to be, and until enough people care enough to vote me out, this is the way it's going to be.

00:53:22.025 --> 00:53:24.086
I can deal with that all day long.

00:53:24.086 --> 00:53:28.748
But what I don't like is people getting in there and being like oh well, it depends.

00:53:28.827 --> 00:53:29.389
I don't know.

00:53:29.389 --> 00:53:32.925
That's why we talked about what was that?

00:53:32.925 --> 00:53:34.889
Senator McCaskey a week ago.

00:53:34.889 --> 00:53:36.893
Mccaskey out of Alaska a couple of weeks ago.

00:53:36.893 --> 00:53:42.672
Well, we're too scared to make a decision because there's a lot of money involved and we're going to get primary.

00:53:43.900 --> 00:53:49.532
We're getting threatened With what You're getting threatened with being primaried Gas.

00:53:50.001 --> 00:53:58.831
Yeah, you're getting, you're getting threatened with with somebody exercising the democratic right, like so yeah and so, like you and you have it on both sides.

00:53:58.951 --> 00:54:07.782
Honestly, I do think democrats do a better job of, when a push comes to shove, whipping their, their caucuses and passing what they want to pass.

00:54:07.782 --> 00:54:31.126
But they're not perfect by any stretch, because you look at when they had the house and the Senate from 2020 to 22, when Biden's first two years, they could have passed a lot of this legislation, they could have done some things and gotten, you know, the border in line and all that, but you had mansion and you had seismic from those those cinema.

00:54:31.260 --> 00:54:33.943
How do you say cinema, christian cinema?

00:54:33.963 --> 00:54:35.166
cinema, yeah.

00:54:35.166 --> 00:54:35.889
Cinema cinema, yeah.

00:54:35.889 --> 00:54:42.168
And then she and of course, like cinema she was, it blew me away.

00:54:42.168 --> 00:54:52.168
It's like I expected her to be this goofy green party lefty out in the woods type guy and instead she was was like no, look I am.

00:54:52.168 --> 00:54:54.072
I am a absolute liberal.

00:54:54.072 --> 00:55:00.606
That said, there are still certain parts of the government that the government needs to do things the right way, and I don't think they're doing the right way.

00:55:00.606 --> 00:55:04.764
Now there's also the plus I need my pound of flesh, thank you.

00:55:04.844 --> 00:55:05.746
Yeah, I was going to say.

00:55:05.746 --> 00:55:09.391
Yeah, I was going to say that she was open to the hype.

00:55:09.391 --> 00:55:11.733
I think she was trying to run as an independent.

00:55:11.733 --> 00:55:13.096
Yeah, she did.

00:55:14.818 --> 00:55:23.632
But at the same time you look at Fetterman, who legitimately has brain damage, and the Democrats are dragging him across the line.

00:55:23.652 --> 00:55:28.309
Yeah, but we knew that beforehand, remember, we talked about how that was going to come back to bite him in the ass.

00:55:28.650 --> 00:55:32.242
Of course, Well, there's one issue with Fetterman.

00:55:32.242 --> 00:55:49.074
Fetterman's like look, if you're going to come in and you're a Palestinian lover and you're supporting Hamas and the people that are on these campuses, you need to GTFO, so F you guys, I'm with Israel and suddenly he was like oh, fetterman doesn't take his medication.

00:55:49.074 --> 00:55:50.295
The reason why is?

00:55:53.780 --> 00:55:58.969
because before Trump got elected, Fetterman was quiet as a church mouse pissing on cotton.

00:55:58.969 --> 00:56:02.849
He's another grifter who's just trying to kiss the ringer who's in power.

00:56:04.945 --> 00:56:06.119
I don't think Fetterman has.

00:56:06.119 --> 00:56:08.442
I don't think Fetterman hasn't.

00:56:08.442 --> 00:56:10.228
I don't think Fetterman had any pull.

00:56:10.228 --> 00:56:12.284
Honestly, that's part of it.

00:56:12.579 --> 00:56:25.070
What I'm saying is, if Harris had won the election right and the country was trending blue, you would not hear a word from Fetterman, and that's what pisses me off about him.

00:56:25.070 --> 00:56:27.465
This isn't an issue that you care about.

00:56:27.465 --> 00:56:32.780
This is an issue that gets you further along the line to protect your pockets.

00:56:32.780 --> 00:56:33.784
You're full of shit.

00:56:33.784 --> 00:56:34.525
You're a griptok.

00:56:34.525 --> 00:56:40.807
Maybe he's going to get primary, and I don't think he survives the primary.

00:56:40.807 --> 00:56:46.525
He should have survived the first one, but the Democratic machine just had to have it Tammany.

00:56:46.545 --> 00:56:49.505
Hall absolutely won that for him.

00:56:49.505 --> 00:56:54.007
Just because you have a blue or red sticker beside your name does not mean you're true.

00:56:54.007 --> 00:57:00.628
That's just, you have found the easiest path to get to the money and once you get in there, your true color is coming.

00:57:00.628 --> 00:57:03.469
I mean, we've seen that in both parties.

00:57:04.840 --> 00:57:19.393
And maybe I'm naive and maybe I do try to look at people's best case scenario and maybe I look at Betterman and go, I hope he actually believes that Israel's in the right and if he doesn't, no, I just hey, I try to give benefit of the doubt to a Democrat.

00:57:19.393 --> 00:57:23.123
But again, I mean I look at.

00:57:23.123 --> 00:57:25.429
It's so ridiculous.

00:57:25.429 --> 00:57:40.349
If you've ever driven through West Virginia you should see how many buildings have Senator Byrd's name on different buildings the National Guard building up there and all that stuff.

00:57:40.349 --> 00:57:41.579
What's he say about Kevin?

00:57:41.659 --> 00:57:43.092
No, he's talking about I am kind of.

00:57:43.132 --> 00:57:45.822
Yeah, oh, my favorite part of the whole.

00:57:45.822 --> 00:57:53.375
Just a side note, the whole thing with Barbie that cracks me up is when the the uh, feminist women were freaking out.

00:57:53.375 --> 00:57:56.065
It's like oh, of course, ryan gosling's the one.

00:57:56.065 --> 00:58:02.507
The man who's in the movie is the one who gets nominated for an oscar and I'm like he was the funniest part of the movie.

00:58:02.507 --> 00:58:03.128
Are you kidding?

00:58:03.128 --> 00:58:05.373
I liked that movie.

00:58:05.373 --> 00:58:08.545
I liked uh, I'm blinking on her name that played barbie.

00:58:08.545 --> 00:58:12.391
I like the speech that America what's her name gave.

00:58:12.391 --> 00:58:13.474
I like the movie.

00:58:13.474 --> 00:58:16.769
But Ryan Gosling, he kind of stole that movie.

00:58:18.103 --> 00:58:20.871
It was probably a lot better, man, oh yeah.

00:58:21.701 --> 00:58:26.684
But it was so funny them freaking out A feminist movie and here's the man who gets nominated for that.

00:58:26.684 --> 00:58:29.068
It's like, well, okay, whatever.

00:58:29.068 --> 00:58:43.786
But yeah, I look at and we rehash this every week, like we can talk about the stupidity of Congress, we can talk about how bad journalists are, we can talk about all this stuff, and that's just kind of how it goes.

00:58:43.786 --> 00:58:50.481
There are certain things in America that tell them, hey, we're not going to put up this crap anymore and we're going to.

00:58:50.481 --> 00:59:00.766
We're going to to put up this crap anymore and we're going to rid you to say even journalists, what's his face from?

00:59:00.766 --> 00:59:07.246
From NBC or no, cnn, the bald guy.

00:59:07.246 --> 00:59:08.675
That guy looked like a potato.

00:59:08.675 --> 00:59:13.862
That people uh right glasses.

00:59:15.427 --> 00:59:16.630
No, the white guy.

00:59:16.630 --> 00:59:19.204
Oh the white egg.

00:59:19.204 --> 00:59:20.407
Looking he's a potato.

00:59:20.407 --> 00:59:22.010
He used to give him a hard time for deer.

00:59:22.391 --> 00:59:26.027
They would say anytime he would tweet uh, hold on, you're coming up on our hour.

00:59:26.027 --> 00:59:28.961
Yeah, we gotta hit the hour mark yep yeah, so.

00:59:29.342 --> 00:59:31.588
So all right, hey, we're coming up on people.

00:59:31.588 --> 00:59:38.190
We are still going to stay here, we're going to keep rolling, but we got to say goodbye to our guys who are streaming live on the CTR network.

00:59:38.190 --> 00:59:40.163

00:59:46.641 --> 00:59:47.503
But we got to say goodbye.

00:59:47.503 --> 00:59:50.568
We're signing off on CTR CTR network.

00:59:50.568 --> 00:59:54.603
Thank you guys for logging in and spending time with us.

00:59:54.603 --> 00:59:58.221

00:59:58.221 --> 00:59:59.065
Enjoy yourself.

00:59:59.065 --> 00:59:59.807
Bye you guys.

00:59:59.807 --> 01:00:03.172
All right, we are back.

01:00:03.172 --> 01:00:04.963
One minute has passed.

01:00:04.963 --> 01:00:06.260
Boom, there we go.

01:00:06.260 --> 01:00:06.702
All right.

01:00:06.702 --> 01:00:08.027
So one hour has passed.

01:00:08.027 --> 01:00:08.820
Get back to it.

01:00:08.820 --> 01:00:10.702
I'm sorry, lance, I didn't mean to cut you off, brother, go ahead.

01:00:10.722 --> 01:00:12.503
No, no, that to it.

01:00:12.503 --> 01:00:14.226
I'm sorry, Lance, I didn't mean to cut you off, brother, Go ahead.

01:00:14.226 --> 01:00:15.586
No, no, that's fine, I knew what it was.

01:00:15.586 --> 01:00:16.206
Yeah, so no, I just again.

01:00:16.206 --> 01:00:21.012
There are certain things in America that we just it's the same old, same old.

01:00:21.012 --> 01:00:25.936
We've got crappy people who are in Congress that want to be there to make the money.

01:00:25.936 --> 01:00:33.371
They don't want to solve any problems because, oh, we were talking about Brian Stelzer, who's now.

01:00:33.371 --> 01:00:41.568
He moved from CNN to Substack and doing his brand of journalism.

01:00:42.583 --> 01:00:46.728
Yes, now the gloves are off, I can be who I really am, which is bullshit.

01:00:46.728 --> 01:00:48.222
I got a question for what.

01:00:48.222 --> 01:00:51.288
I want to switch gears a little bit for this next segment.

01:00:51.288 --> 01:00:54.327
Kristi Noem is running out of money.

01:00:54.327 --> 01:00:55.871
Is she?

01:00:55.871 --> 01:00:58.619
Yes, the department is running out.

01:00:58.619 --> 01:01:01.907
So they had a congressional hearing last week.

01:01:01.907 --> 01:01:03.731
What?

01:01:03.731 --> 01:01:03.913
Is she?

01:01:03.913 --> 01:01:08.344
Kristi Noem is.

01:01:09.407 --> 01:01:13.121
HHS, dhs, yes, dhs, I'm sorry, dhs.

01:01:17.465 --> 01:01:23.394
So they went to Congress asking for more money and they kind of blew through their budget.

01:01:23.394 --> 01:01:29.731
And I wish, man, if I didn't know we were going to do this, I'd have had clips aired up.

01:01:29.731 --> 01:01:32.005
But that's okay, we'll roll with the punches.

01:01:32.005 --> 01:01:33.963
Going to do this, I'd have had clips aired up.

01:01:33.963 --> 01:01:35.045
But that's okay, we'll, we'll roll with the punches.

01:01:35.045 --> 01:01:44.293
So the during the congressional hearing they was like hey, I'm not sure if you understand how this works, but we can't give you more money than you were already allocated in your budget this year.

01:01:44.293 --> 01:01:47.204
So he's like where did the money go?

01:01:47.204 --> 01:01:49.088
And she was like I don't, I don't know.

01:01:49.088 --> 01:01:50.449
And he was like I don't, I don't know.

01:01:50.449 --> 01:01:51.331
They were like I don't know.

01:01:51.331 --> 01:01:58.911
And, uh, congress is like well, there's not really a lot we can do because you got to make it.

01:01:58.911 --> 01:02:02.083
You got to make it to the end of september until we can fund you again.

01:02:02.083 --> 01:02:05.931
Um, man, I gotta go find a clue.

01:02:05.931 --> 01:02:10.686
That was hilarious, um, but I want to come.

01:02:10.686 --> 01:02:11.407
What else else?

01:02:11.407 --> 01:02:11.768
What else?

01:02:11.768 --> 01:02:13.512
What else, christy?

01:02:20.101 --> 01:02:23.887
Well, she testified in the White House's 2026 budget request five days ago that might have been it.

01:02:23.887 --> 01:02:24.608
Lawmakers question.

01:02:24.608 --> 01:02:25.349
I'll bet it's this.

01:02:25.349 --> 01:02:26.391
Lawmakers question.

01:02:26.391 --> 01:02:29.034
No, I'm overcuts to no FEMA TSA.

01:02:29.034 --> 01:02:33.463
No, no, no Grants testifies before Senate.

01:02:33.463 --> 01:02:34.905
Dhs budget.

01:02:34.905 --> 01:02:42.507
It's got to be that Funding partnership, but it doesn't really break it down.

01:02:42.507 --> 01:02:57.807
I got to see Funding two days ago I got to see days ago.

01:02:57.807 --> 01:03:04.476
Homeland Security told lawmakers her office is working to restore funding to the National Fire Academy.

01:03:04.476 --> 01:03:10.385
No, harvard sends energy.

01:03:13.541 --> 01:03:14.364
This one Hold on.

01:03:14.364 --> 01:03:15.746
I wonder if I can get it to come up.

01:03:15.746 --> 01:03:18.289
I wonder if I can get it to come up.

01:03:19.420 --> 01:03:22.829
So I mean Do you know what DHS's budget is?

01:03:23.856 --> 01:03:25.025
I don't know offhand, I know.

01:03:25.025 --> 01:03:34.025
So they went to the hearing and then I found Chris Murphy's interview where he was interviewing and asking what happened with the money.

01:03:34.025 --> 01:03:37.648
But you're running out of time, yeah let's hear it.

01:03:37.648 --> 01:03:40.809
It's six minutes long, but I don't want to play all of it.

01:03:40.809 --> 01:03:44.083
We'll find a way to cut it.

01:03:44.083 --> 01:03:45.449
Hold on, let me see if I can get it shared.

01:03:47.541 --> 01:03:49.527
You can just stop it when we get tired of it.

01:03:50.228 --> 01:03:51.791
Yeah, you know what.

01:03:51.791 --> 01:03:54.362
We're going to stay live, let's do this live.

01:03:54.362 --> 01:03:55.465
Where are we at Share screen?

01:03:55.465 --> 01:03:59.025
This is called Zoothing on the Fly.

01:03:59.025 --> 01:04:03.047
Baby, do somebody see to your pants?

01:04:03.307 --> 01:04:03.650
Here we go.

01:04:03.650 --> 01:04:07.487
Thank you very much, madam Chair.

01:04:07.487 --> 01:04:09.335
Madam Secretary, thank you for being here.

01:04:09.335 --> 01:04:11.146
I'm sorry that I missed your call yesterday.

01:04:11.146 --> 01:04:12.824
I look forward to working closely with here.

01:04:12.824 --> 01:04:13.552
I'm sorry that I missed your call yesterday.

01:04:13.552 --> 01:04:14.119
I look forward to working closely with you.

01:04:14.559 --> 01:04:19.192
I say this with seriousness and respect, but your department is out of control.

01:04:19.192 --> 01:04:21.804
You're spending like you don't have a budget.

01:04:21.804 --> 01:04:24.411
You're on the verge of running out of money for the fiscal year.

01:04:24.411 --> 01:04:32.724
You are illegally refusing to spend funds that have been authorized by this Congress and appropriated by this committee, by this Congress and appropriated by this committee.

01:04:32.744 --> 01:04:42.067
You are ignoring the immigration laws of this nation, implementing a brand new immigration system that you have invented that has little relation to the statutes that you are required, that you are commanded to follow, as spelled out in your oath of office.

01:04:42.067 --> 01:04:51.324
You are routinely violating the rights of immigrants, who may not be citizens, but, whether you like it or not, they have constitutional and statutory rights when they reside in the United States.

01:04:51.324 --> 01:04:59.146
Your agency acts as if laws don't matter, as if the election gave you some mandate to violate the Constitution and the laws passed by this Congress.

01:04:59.146 --> 01:05:00.572
It did not give you that mandate.

01:05:00.572 --> 01:05:08.382
You act as if your disagreement with the law, or even the public's disagreement with the law, is relevant and gives you the ability to create your own law.

01:05:08.382 --> 01:05:10.047
It does not give you that ability.

01:05:10.829 --> 01:05:11.871
Let's start with your spending.

01:05:11.871 --> 01:05:14.804
You are on track to trigger the Anti-Deficiency Act.

01:05:14.804 --> 01:05:19.322
That means you are going to spend more money than you've been allocated by Congress.

01:05:19.322 --> 01:05:22.530
This is a rare occurrence and it is wildly illegal.

01:05:22.530 --> 01:05:28.474
Your agency will be broke by July, over two months before the end of the fiscal year.

01:05:28.474 --> 01:05:38.001
You may not think that Congress has provided enough money to ICE, but the Constitution and the federal law does not allow you to spend more money than you have been given or to invent money.

01:05:38.001 --> 01:05:47.625
And this obsession with spending at the border, as the chairwoman mentioned, has left the country unprotected elsewhere.

01:05:47.625 --> 01:05:54.148
The security threats to the United States are higher, not lower, than when before Trump came to office.

01:05:54.148 --> 01:05:57.590
To fund the border, you have illegally gutted spending for cybersecurity.

01:05:57.590 --> 01:06:01.550
As we speak, Russian and Chinese hackers are having a field day attacking our nation.

01:06:01.550 --> 01:06:05.050
You have withdrawn funds for disaster prevention.

01:06:05.050 --> 01:06:10.451
Storms are going to kill more people in the country because of the withholding of these funds Jeez.

01:06:13.163 --> 01:06:14.268
Okay, here's my problem with this.

01:06:14.268 --> 01:06:20.568
I know they don't, but at what point do they?

01:06:20.568 --> 01:06:22.626
Where's the question?

01:06:22.626 --> 01:06:23.389
You know what I mean.

01:06:23.389 --> 01:06:26.668
If I was no more.

01:06:26.668 --> 01:06:28.119
And they both do it, don't get me wrong.

01:06:28.119 --> 01:06:35.061
They both do it right, but they just go and go and go and go, and that's just what I have to say.

01:06:35.061 --> 01:06:36.043
So how do you answer that?

01:06:36.043 --> 01:06:40.742
And they're like you were just talking for like five minutes straight.

01:06:40.742 --> 01:06:41.824
How much?

01:06:41.824 --> 01:06:42.385
Yeah, which?

01:06:42.405 --> 01:06:42.646
part.

01:06:42.646 --> 01:06:43.568
Yeah, which part?

01:06:44.670 --> 01:06:52.724
yeah, and so, like you're doing this and you're doing that, and you're and my guess is she, she's going to turn around and say well, senator, I don't agree with your assessment.

01:06:52.724 --> 01:07:04.726
I, you, we are, we are well aware of the budget and and we're doing the things we need to, and one of the reasons our budget is the way it is is because we are oh my gosh, you went through the whole thing.

01:07:04.726 --> 01:07:05.909
Look, she didn't even get.

01:07:06.519 --> 01:07:06.981
We don't.

01:07:06.981 --> 01:07:07.101
Yeah.

01:07:07.101 --> 01:07:08.242
Yeah, he talked the whole thing.

01:07:08.242 --> 01:07:09.523
I'm cutting it right there.

01:07:10.063 --> 01:07:13.467
Yeah, that's fine, and I don't know what she said.

01:07:13.467 --> 01:07:14.309
So don't get me wrong.

01:07:14.309 --> 01:07:28.231
I'm not defending her in terms of what she said, but my guess is she's saying things like well, you know when you're part of the organization that is rounding up people that are here illegally.

01:07:28.251 --> 01:07:39.280
that costs money and that man hours and blah, blah, blah, blah blah, and so we've had to spend more and so you know, part of that is, but the funny part about him saying is, it's wildly and we don't just give you more money.

01:07:39.280 --> 01:07:47.782
Really, Is that why you don't have emergency budget measures that every single year, all the time happen?

01:07:47.782 --> 01:07:51.648
So you know, I don't know.

01:07:51.648 --> 01:07:54.713
I I think we're pushing it out of control.

01:07:55.012 --> 01:07:59.264
yeah, maybe I I don't know, and if it is okay, there needs to be something done.

01:07:59.264 --> 01:08:18.385
But at the same time, here would be my question like if I, if I'm dude, trying to actually get to an answer, right, I would say something if I'm murphy and I act, no, I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt that if he actually wants an answer, right, I would say something if I'm Murphy and I act no, I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt that if he actually wants an answer, because he doesn't remember, he said I'm sorry, I missed your call.

01:08:18.385 --> 01:08:19.708
I'll get with you later and we'll talk.

01:08:21.443 --> 01:08:26.020
Yeah, a lot of that was just for a lot of that was just for a lot of that was just for sure, right.

01:08:26.100 --> 01:08:36.962
I want to all bark A senator that was grandstanding and spotlighting that was grandstanding and spotlighting, but I will.

01:08:36.983 --> 01:08:37.604
I will tell you I like murphy.

01:08:37.604 --> 01:08:45.202
Murphy is one of the few new democrats who I might not always agree with them, but they give a shit and I can take that better than blumenthal.

01:08:45.202 --> 01:08:53.034
I can take it as a starting point, like if you care, that means we have a starting point.

01:08:53.034 --> 01:08:57.185
You're right, liberty.

01:08:57.185 --> 01:09:02.009
I don't think voters believe that Voters are dumb.

01:09:02.009 --> 01:09:05.225
I'm going to be honest.

01:09:05.225 --> 01:09:06.871
I don't care if it's controversial.

01:09:06.871 --> 01:09:10.047
An American a citizen.

01:09:10.600 --> 01:09:11.664
They're ignorant for sure.

01:09:12.359 --> 01:09:13.154
An American, a citizen, ignorant for sure.

01:09:13.154 --> 01:09:18.671
Yes, an American, a citizen, is a smart, informed individual.

01:09:18.671 --> 01:09:27.868
Americans citizens are ignorant and we've proven it time and time again.

01:09:27.868 --> 01:09:38.449
No matter the voting bloc, no matter the representation, you have citizens voting against their interest in every political cycle.

01:09:38.449 --> 01:09:41.095
Right, and that's irrelevant.

01:09:41.095 --> 01:09:44.648
Yeah, that's irrelevant whether you're blue or red.

01:09:44.648 --> 01:09:57.841
You have this large block of constituents who blindly vote for colors, like they're representing gang members, instead of voting on issues.

01:09:58.743 --> 01:10:15.274
Um, and that that, I think is, is really, really bad um, yeah, so liberty, I I agree with you we've talked about this before that I think one of the number one, if not the number one issue was is the border.

01:10:15.274 --> 01:10:17.627
We've talked about how the trans issue came up.

01:10:17.627 --> 01:10:28.855
I think the trans issue was more just one of those shiny objects that that was easy to kind of kind of show how out of touch the Dems were.

01:10:28.855 --> 01:10:50.125
The Dems were because if you go, if you're a common sense person and you say girls, sports should be for girls, and you have the other side say no no, no, no, no no that's an easy win, and so I think that's why that became such a big deal, when realistically, it's a minor issue that should be fixed pretty easily for the most part did.

01:10:50.164 --> 01:10:54.461
I show you the one where they said she's a third gender.

01:10:54.461 --> 01:10:55.786
Now, did you see that one yet?

01:10:55.786 --> 01:10:59.619
Oh yeah, yeah, I saw that one that was hilarious, um yeah well.

01:10:59.881 --> 01:11:09.042
What that was too, though, is she's talking to somebody else, and then the dude who is is interviewing that's not really him interviewing you yeah, no, no.

01:11:09.061 --> 01:11:12.783
Yeah, that was a cut in, but this is listening to her talk about.

01:11:12.783 --> 01:11:25.649
It is just, I think a lot of I think, for good or bad, people like that are have taken over the voice and the platform of the blue brain.

01:11:25.649 --> 01:11:31.733
Right, those words, that's the image that pops up.

01:11:31.733 --> 01:11:41.318
Right, you know, for better or for worse, that's the image that pops up, like when you hear BLM or you hear woke or something like that.

01:11:41.318 --> 01:11:49.824
Right, you automatically, you know, inherently have an image that pops up right, based off of portrayals.

01:11:49.824 --> 01:11:53.954
Same way with MAGA right, you sit back and you say, oh well, when you hear MAGA, you think a certain way.

01:11:53.954 --> 01:11:58.108
But in real, you know, the real picture is just.

01:11:58.108 --> 01:12:06.747
Most of it is just people trying to live their lives Right, and they're just trying to do what they believe is right, based off how they grew up in their belief system.

01:12:06.747 --> 01:12:23.868
Where the media has, they've manipulated their responsibility and take advantage of people's inherent trust or inherent biases.

01:12:23.868 --> 01:12:26.001
Right, and they amplify it.

01:12:26.001 --> 01:12:30.280
They amplify it and it's perverse what they're doing, man.

01:12:30.280 --> 01:12:33.073
That's why I really wish I guess what it came on this week, but that I'm sure we'll get him res're doing man.

01:12:33.073 --> 01:12:33.518
That's why I really wish I guess what it came on this week.

01:12:33.518 --> 01:12:39.667
I'm sure we'll get him rescheduled, man, he had some issues and he apologized, but we'll get him rescheduled.

01:12:40.626 --> 01:12:48.340
That bothers me to no end because I don't like to see people being manipulated either way Good, bad, indifferent.

01:12:48.340 --> 01:13:06.970
I am principled in the fact that I can deal with I would rather deal with an outright racist right, a devout racist who tells me and a devout separatist who says I don't like you, I don't want you near me, you go left.

01:13:06.970 --> 01:13:08.252
I don't have any ill intent.

01:13:08.252 --> 01:13:12.649
If you decide to do great things, do great things, just do it over there.

01:13:12.649 --> 01:13:15.064
Right, I can deal with that all along.

01:13:15.064 --> 01:13:22.046
Like I told you, the greatest threat to societal progress is a fake ally, and we just got.

01:13:22.046 --> 01:13:24.070
We got too much of that in society.

01:13:24.070 --> 01:13:38.028
We got too much of that, too much lip service where people are so quick to say they support a cause, whether it's red or blue, but when it's time to influence policy that truly affects or benefits people, they're silent.

01:13:38.028 --> 01:13:44.846
And that's where, I guess, that's where the frustration and the irritation for me kind of hit.

01:13:46.369 --> 01:13:54.894
For me, part of the problem is that the best and brightest don't go into politics, because we've seen how dirty and gross it is right.

01:13:54.894 --> 01:14:04.952
Go back, let's say, 30 years and it's 1996.

01:14:04.952 --> 01:14:20.770
Instead of Bob Dole on the Republican ticket, it's Thomas Sowell, an actual conservative, an actual yeah he well, I mean he would have been the pre-obama but I would you know what?

01:14:20.891 --> 01:14:22.859
I would have took a, I would have took a power ticket.

01:14:22.859 --> 01:14:25.685
We talked about that before.

01:14:25.725 --> 01:14:30.904
Right, oh for sure, yeah, yeah, I would have voted for colin powell too yeah, the missed opportunity of power.

01:14:30.904 --> 01:14:33.207
Sure, so I'm.

01:14:33.207 --> 01:14:38.534
I'm just talking about a, the reason I say Thomas Sowell, you could say Krautheimer.

01:14:38.534 --> 01:14:52.572
I'm talking about a talented conservative intellectual, right, right, and at the same time now you could say there are some people on the left that are seen as intellectuals, as well.

01:14:52.591 --> 01:14:56.439
Now you could say there are some people on the left that are seen as intellectuals as well.

01:14:56.439 --> 01:15:17.149
That I mean, like if Krugman, who wrote for the Economist, who won the Cruz, is a red Ted Cruz is a.

01:15:17.149 --> 01:15:21.000
I like Ted Cruz too, but Ted Cruz is a red meat Republican.

01:15:21.000 --> 01:15:22.783
I don't think he's a.

01:15:22.783 --> 01:15:33.211
I don't necessarily think he is a conservative, conservative stalwart, like again, I take Mike Lee over Ted Cruz.

01:15:33.211 --> 01:15:44.444
That said, I originally thought Dan Crenshaw was going to be a really strong standard bearer for Republicans as a conservative, and he has not been.

01:15:44.444 --> 01:15:49.930
That he's turned into a grifter Surprise.

01:15:49.930 --> 01:15:50.653
And they all do it.

01:15:51.119 --> 01:15:54.068
AOC People who think AOC was going to be this.

01:15:54.068 --> 01:16:04.448
You know, leftist a a, somebody who stands up for the workers because she comes from a common background and she was just a bartender, so she's going to work for the common person.

01:16:04.448 --> 01:16:07.881
No aoc, yeah, she's a cult of personality.

01:16:07.881 --> 01:16:11.947
Ted cruz is to a degree, um crenshaw was trying to be.

01:16:13.109 --> 01:16:17.461
I mean for sure AOC is trying to take over Bernie's banner, right?

01:16:17.461 --> 01:16:22.323
I think Bernie has taken, he's ready to hand it to her and I think she's going to.

01:16:22.323 --> 01:16:25.412
He's going to pass the baton to AOC for this next wave.

01:16:25.819 --> 01:16:35.567
And I just I can't, I can't tell you how many Republicans I see online and on X say please let her be the her and Crockett they're like, please let that be the ticket.

01:16:36.360 --> 01:16:41.185
I will tell you, I will tell you be fearful of Crockett.

01:16:42.369 --> 01:16:42.569
Nope.

01:16:45.244 --> 01:16:47.692
She has so many idiocracy moments.

01:16:49.641 --> 01:16:57.853
You can say she's smart and she might be, but she has so many soundbites out there that are just ridiculous.

01:16:59.863 --> 01:17:03.985
Here's the problem you got with Crockett, and I love Jasmine, jasmine is a fire starter.

01:17:03.985 --> 01:17:08.565
She's a fire brain, and if you stand in front of the camera long enough, you're bound to make a gasp.

01:17:08.565 --> 01:17:11.186
See president Trump.

01:17:11.186 --> 01:17:13.265
See Margaret Taylor green.

01:17:13.265 --> 01:17:23.212
See pick Pick a person right Jasmine Crockett is smart enough to move the masses and she gives a shit and she's real.

01:17:24.260 --> 01:17:31.533
You can sit back and say, yeah, well, I don't know, but I'm telling you Crockett is the anti-Trump.

01:17:31.533 --> 01:17:40.375
Telling you Crockett is the anti-Trump, she is to young Democrats what Trump was to moderate Republicans.

01:17:40.375 --> 01:17:41.619
Looking for a face in a movement, I would be More than AOC.

01:17:41.619 --> 01:17:50.840
Yeah, absolutely, because AOC is Really, because here you have progressive fatigue and that's the problem that the Democrats are going to have to face with.

01:17:50.840 --> 01:17:56.863
I believe they got progressive fatigue Right, like, hey, man, we don't care, we don't care.

01:17:56.984 --> 01:18:03.726
Nothing you say right now is is resonating, right, you talk about.

01:18:03.726 --> 01:18:05.068
You talk about prices.

01:18:05.068 --> 01:18:06.788
We don't care, you talk about.

01:18:06.788 --> 01:18:12.192
What I care about is am I safe at the border or am I perceived to be safe at the border?

01:18:12.192 --> 01:18:15.693
Is am I safe at the border or am I perceived to be safe at the border?

01:18:15.693 --> 01:18:15.872
And do I?

01:18:15.872 --> 01:18:17.753
You know, can you govern from a position of strength?

01:18:17.753 --> 01:18:28.926
And I don't think the Democrats have picked that up yet, right, like everything you hear from the Democrats is oh, the only reason you say that is because you hate Trump, no matter who's the messenger from the Democratic Party.

01:18:28.926 --> 01:18:38.469
The only thing that the only thing the average person on the street is hearing is I hate Trump or we're doing this to stop Trump?

01:18:38.469 --> 01:18:46.402
As long as the perception of your platform is you hate Trump, you're destined to fail.

01:18:46.402 --> 01:18:48.240
It doesn't matter what face you put in there.

01:18:49.083 --> 01:18:50.689
What are you for about what you're against?

01:18:50.689 --> 01:18:51.988
I think the red team will be there.

01:18:51.988 --> 01:18:52.211
What are you for not?

01:18:52.144 --> 01:18:54.490
what you're against, right and it I would.

01:18:54.490 --> 01:19:11.631
I think the red team would be exceptionally happy to have Jasmine Crockett stay in Texas and attack her from there, because if she is allowed to gain momentum on a national stage, she could be problematic.

01:19:13.041 --> 01:19:13.502
I don't think.

01:19:13.502 --> 01:19:15.065
So that's fine.

01:19:15.065 --> 01:19:16.127
Yeah, there's a.

01:19:16.127 --> 01:19:32.448
I just don't think, even Now, if you say in 2040 maybe, I'm not saying for a national presidential contender.

01:19:32.739 --> 01:19:34.720
She's far from that right now.

01:19:34.720 --> 01:19:35.885
No, that's what, that's right.

01:19:35.885 --> 01:19:44.453
Yeah, no, no, no, no, twenty, if we're talking twenty eight, I'm looking at, I'm looking at the boy they passed over in Pennsylvania, shapiro.

01:19:44.453 --> 01:19:50.650
Shapiro Buttigieg is another one who has secretly held his own.

01:19:50.650 --> 01:19:56.070
I think he's going to have an issue because of the whole homophobia thing.

01:19:57.132 --> 01:19:57.613
I don't think so.

01:19:57.613 --> 01:19:59.648
I think he's going to run it.

01:19:59.648 --> 01:20:13.645
You remember, in was it 2012, scott Walker for Minnesota, who originally had a lot of buzz around him and then his personality just fizzled because he really didn't have one.

01:20:14.541 --> 01:20:15.757
That's how I see Buda getting.

01:20:15.757 --> 01:20:17.948
We'll see a lot of that's going to come down into the primary.

01:20:17.948 --> 01:20:21.203
He's going to have to be battle tested in the primaries you got.

01:20:21.203 --> 01:20:28.064
Even Brashear out of Kentucky is a name to be looking out for in 2028.

01:20:28.064 --> 01:20:28.204
Who?

01:20:30.842 --> 01:20:45.372
was it this week that came out and said I like governors because governors have oh, you know, it might have been the former, the former Republican speaker of the House.

01:20:45.372 --> 01:21:00.001
He was on Bill Maher and he said I like governors because governors have experience in actually running states, they actually have the experience of doing some of these things, and the senators, and that they just they don't have that type of experience, right.

01:21:00.001 --> 01:21:07.173
So you know, if I do think again, I think you're going to have, on the Republican side, you're going to have DeSantis 2.0.

01:21:07.173 --> 01:21:09.524
You're going to have, of course, jd Vance.

01:21:09.524 --> 01:21:17.122
I think Vivek, if he was smart, he actually would have run for governor he's running for.

01:21:17.122 --> 01:21:19.730
Is he running for governor or Senate of Ohio?

01:21:19.960 --> 01:21:21.225
I think he was trying to run for.

01:21:21.728 --> 01:21:22.451
Senate seat.

01:21:22.451 --> 01:21:29.014
If he's smart, I think he would do better as governor and get that governor time under your belt.

01:21:29.014 --> 01:21:32.951
I still think Abbott out of Texas is a great pick.

01:21:32.951 --> 01:21:39.172
You know Greg Easterbrook has said the governor of Rhode Island he really likes.

01:21:39.172 --> 01:21:43.009
He's brought up Gretchen Whitmer from Michigan.

01:21:43.009 --> 01:21:43.931
I don't see her.

01:21:44.582 --> 01:21:46.608
I don't see her surviving on the national stage.

01:21:46.608 --> 01:21:47.570
Man, like she's good.

01:21:47.570 --> 01:21:53.128
She's good regionally, but for me she reminds me of what's the boy out of california?

01:21:53.128 --> 01:21:57.904
Um, I don't think newsom stands for fans like newsom.

01:21:57.904 --> 01:22:01.903
Newsom is the democratic version of ron de sanchez, right, like he's.

01:22:01.903 --> 01:22:07.081
He's pseudo popular, but like if you put him on the fire he folds like a wet blanket every time.

01:22:07.903 --> 01:22:13.373
I don't think well, and you and you see newsom making the rounds of turning and trying to run to the.

01:22:13.373 --> 01:22:16.038
He's going to run because he's running to the middle right now.

01:22:16.038 --> 01:22:21.572
Yeah, he came out last month and said, well, obviously boys shouldn't be playing in girls sports.

01:22:21.572 --> 01:22:24.890
It's like, dude, that's not what you've been saying for the last four years.

01:22:24.890 --> 01:22:28.088
Like, you know how easy it is to do that.

01:22:28.088 --> 01:22:33.800
That.

01:22:33.800 --> 01:22:36.625
Um, as far as that goes, it's going to be.

01:22:36.645 --> 01:22:41.353
I think it's going to be really interesting because the democrats, uh, they aoc crockett some of those people.

01:22:41.353 --> 01:22:52.088
They're trying to go with the younger, but then they turn around and do something to me incredibly stupid and named david hogg as the vice chair of the democratic party.

01:22:52.088 --> 01:22:58.972
It's like, really, that's, that's who you think should be, should be the second in charge of the DNC.

01:22:58.972 --> 01:23:02.506
Listen, I mean that kid.

01:23:02.506 --> 01:23:09.880
If, if, that kid isn't just at a school shooting and, by the way, he was not really involved in the school shooting.

01:23:09.880 --> 01:23:12.229
From all reports he was like on the other end of school.

01:23:12.229 --> 01:23:15.186
He wasn't where the danger was, his life was never in danger.

01:23:15.186 --> 01:23:22.490
Um, he got funded by some, some people that that said, here's a young, good-looking, articulate guy.

01:23:22.631 --> 01:23:25.221
I was danger close, it counts.

01:23:25.221 --> 01:23:26.823
He could have got it.

01:23:26.823 --> 01:23:29.606
He could have got a case a mortar might have gone off.

01:23:29.667 --> 01:23:33.190
If I was only because I was 150 yards away, a mortar might have hit me.

01:23:33.190 --> 01:23:40.204
So, yeah, right, I was, I was within range of a cruise missile.

01:23:40.204 --> 01:23:44.274
And but you know the Democrats I think they do stuff like that.

01:23:44.274 --> 01:23:48.275
They shoot themselves in the foot and not to say Republicans are perfect.

01:23:48.275 --> 01:23:53.622
Don't get me wrong, republicans do stupid things too, but ultimately, you and I are on the same page.

01:23:54.162 --> 01:24:12.292
I don't care who it is, as long as it's somebody that is going to actually go in and try to do the job, and try to pass the budget, and try to pass laws that actually have teeth and meaning, and try to do the things that make this country a better place, and I mean the budget.

01:24:12.292 --> 01:24:13.746
I don't know, call me crazy.

01:24:13.746 --> 01:24:17.806
I think there are certain things that should be done, like passing a budget.

01:24:17.806 --> 01:24:19.985
We haven't had a budget.

01:24:19.985 --> 01:24:24.747
I don't think we've had a budget signed and passed since Clinton was in office.

01:24:24.747 --> 01:24:27.346
So at what point do you go?

01:24:28.841 --> 01:24:32.548
I would love, and I would love for Democrats to get behind this.

01:24:32.548 --> 01:24:33.389
I would love for Republicans to get behind this.

01:24:33.389 --> 01:24:34.408
I would love for Republicans to get behind this.

01:24:34.408 --> 01:24:49.610
All of the governors get together and do a constitutional Congress, since Congress isn't going to do it and pass some new, new constitutional amendments.

01:24:49.610 --> 01:25:10.462
Federal term limits, the second being Congress shall pass no law from which they are exempt, and the third one being any year that a federal budget is not passed by the legal date, whatever date that is, shall make every member of Congress ineligible for re-election for four years.

01:25:10.462 --> 01:25:12.469
You pass those three.

01:25:12.469 --> 01:25:13.752
What does that do to this country?

01:25:15.782 --> 01:25:21.037
So before we head out of here, you mentioned term limits and I got to bring it up.

01:25:21.037 --> 01:25:39.167
So the argument for the third term is that because the POTUS is the only elected official who has term limits and no other official has term limits, then his term limits is unconstitutional.

01:25:39.427 --> 01:25:43.203
So they should be able to present the constitution now which is bananas.

01:25:43.302 --> 01:25:50.425
But see again, that goes back to that goes back to pushing the limits of what I can and can't get away with.

01:25:50.425 --> 01:25:53.430
They know it's in the Constitution.

01:25:53.430 --> 01:25:55.985
I know they know that's the thing that pisses me off.

01:25:55.985 --> 01:25:59.369
I know they know, but it's a great soundbite.

01:26:00.240 --> 01:26:21.770
Isn't there a better argument and I don't know, I'd have to go wrong, what the exact wording is but isn't the better argument to say well, the Constitution says you can only be elected for two terms, and I haven't been elected for two terms, I was elected for one and now I'm elected for a different one, and so my times are—to me at least that's a more clever argument.

01:26:21.770 --> 01:26:24.448
I don't know, maybe the Constitution is pretty clear.

01:26:24.448 --> 01:26:26.405
I think it's pretty clear.

01:26:26.405 --> 01:26:32.247
Regardless, he's not going to—he's not going to but, liberty, I'm going to disagree with you.

01:26:32.865 --> 01:26:34.622
I used to believe the same thing.

01:26:34.622 --> 01:26:38.529
I used to think term limits hey, every election is a term limit.

01:26:38.529 --> 01:27:00.967
But I think that the way the media works, the manipulation and the powers that be between the Republicans and the Democrats, and the uneducation, miseducation, de-education, non-education of the voting public, makes it impossible to have a well-informed electorate.

01:27:00.967 --> 01:27:20.564
And so, unless you're going to put litmus tests in and the problem with that, not even litmus tests, but general, not litmus but general knowledge tests in place, and people will say, well, that's disenfranchising for poor people or whatever, which is kind of funny because it's like I want to disenfranchise stupid people.

01:27:20.564 --> 01:27:41.354
Let's be honest, I don't want stupid people voting, but they're going to because that's their right and so, whether I want it or not like if somebody can't tell me how many Supreme Court justices there are not their names, just how many Like I think there's some very basic questions that should be involved.

01:27:41.854 --> 01:27:47.917
You would eliminate 60% of voters who are eligible for voting.

01:27:47.917 --> 01:28:07.351
Cool, I mean, we should come up with our civics test, the most basic how many branches of government are there?

01:28:07.351 --> 01:28:08.355
How many members of the Supreme Court are there?

01:28:08.355 --> 01:28:09.220
Let's see how many states are there.

01:28:09.619 --> 01:28:10.721
Have you seen those man on the street interviews?

01:28:10.721 --> 01:28:16.152
Oh, yeah, yeah, they purposely do the worst ones, you know, you know they probably interview a hundred people.

01:28:16.252 --> 01:28:18.180
oh, yeah, I'm sure they do.

01:28:18.180 --> 01:28:19.948
It's just hilarious though I'm just.

01:28:19.948 --> 01:28:20.993
Oh, they are imagining.

01:28:20.993 --> 01:28:24.466
Yeah, I'm just imagining it's yeah, liberty, absolutely.

01:28:24.527 --> 01:28:26.252
They could not pass that test.

01:28:26.252 --> 01:28:30.725
But I'm not even saying pass the citizen test, that's not even what I'm talking about.

01:28:31.206 --> 01:28:39.149
I'm talking about just the bare basic civics question and you don't have to score 100.

01:28:39.149 --> 01:28:51.108
Let's say 10 questions and again things like how many branches of government are there and maybe one of them is you get lucky to name one of them and maybe you even make it stupid.

01:28:51.108 --> 01:28:52.862
Like question one is how many branches of government are there and the second one name one of the three branches of them and maybe you even make it stupid.

01:28:52.862 --> 01:28:53.527
Like question one is how many branches of government?

01:28:53.527 --> 01:28:57.475
are there and the second one name one of the three branches of government.

01:28:57.475 --> 01:29:00.243
Let me ask you a question.

01:29:00.805 --> 01:29:12.484
If, right now, you were required to go renew your driving test after five years, how many people do you believe will be able to pass the driving test renewed on percentage base?

01:29:13.045 --> 01:29:17.211
If, if they knew, okay, well, no, no, they didn't know they had to.

01:29:17.692 --> 01:29:18.393
No, they didn't know.

01:29:18.393 --> 01:29:19.414
So you're no study.

01:29:19.414 --> 01:29:22.739
And based off of experience, based off of your driving experience.

01:29:22.819 --> 01:29:44.282
So you've driven five years and then they just randomly call you up and say, hey, you got three days to come and renew your driver's test, or we're taking your license from you.

01:29:44.282 --> 01:29:44.909
How many people?

01:29:44.909 --> 01:29:47.082
20 to be extremely optimistic.

01:29:47.082 --> 01:29:47.533
That's your voting block.

01:29:47.533 --> 01:29:56.667
Well, that is your thing, but remember, you're voting well, and the reason I say that, though, is because you also a large number of drivers, are over 60 years old and haven't taken a driver's test, and the driver's test has changed well, it's the same thing in congress.

01:29:56.828 --> 01:30:05.809
A large number of our members of congress are over 60 years old and they haven't read the constitution since they took a citizen class in in the ox but we're, but we're not talking.

01:30:05.849 --> 01:30:08.542
We're not talking about the people that are in congress, we're talking about the voters.

01:30:08.542 --> 01:30:11.164
I, I, I think you took the average.

01:30:11.164 --> 01:30:31.212
I believe if you took the average senator or congressman and the questions we're asking, they're going to get up and down, they're going to get 90 percent right, because I'm talking about like, oh yeah, do you think the average senator can say how many, how many justices of the Supreme Court there are?

01:30:32.140 --> 01:30:34.886
Senators, yes, representatives.

01:30:35.266 --> 01:30:36.127
You're a congressman.

01:30:36.127 --> 01:30:48.006
Representatives In the House, yeah, no, no, no, I'll bet them I don't think there's any that would probably miss that question.

01:30:48.006 --> 01:30:49.586
How many branches of government?

01:30:49.586 --> 01:30:51.527
They all get that one right.

01:30:52.301 --> 01:30:58.489
I'm not so sure, but I just that is extremely optimistic for our Representatives.

01:30:58.489 --> 01:30:58.751
Man.

01:30:59.746 --> 01:31:03.960
Well, yeah, but at the same time, I don't think they are effectively.

01:31:03.960 --> 01:31:08.158
If you, what is the word we use?

01:31:08.158 --> 01:31:09.686
I don't know what the word.

01:31:10.671 --> 01:31:11.399
Hold on, I'll give you.

01:31:11.399 --> 01:31:14.426
We got two candidates right and we can cut it off here.

01:31:14.426 --> 01:31:15.670
So we're going to find out.

01:31:15.670 --> 01:31:17.761
So I'll give you to keep going, I don't care.

01:31:17.761 --> 01:31:18.724
Well, you got.

01:31:18.724 --> 01:31:28.207
So you got Marjorie Taylor Greene representing the red team, you got Jasmine Crockett representing the blue team, right, and we're going to do the 10 question, civics question.

01:31:28.207 --> 01:31:40.962
Who do you think gets the most right, or do you think either one of them packs?

01:31:40.983 --> 01:31:41.706
what's passing out of 10, we'll call.

01:31:41.706 --> 01:31:41.926
We'll call.

01:31:41.926 --> 01:31:42.448
7 out of 10, we'll go.

01:31:42.448 --> 01:31:43.634
1990, standard the above.

01:31:43.634 --> 01:31:44.095
Here's the crazy thing.

01:31:44.095 --> 01:32:01.515
I think they both get 9 out of 10, at least no way I, I don't think here's why because we're not talking about tough questions, we're not asking what article of the Constitution guarantees the legislature is writing the laws.

01:32:22.809 --> 01:32:27.311
OK, but I'm talking the most like do I think they both know that there are 50 states?

01:32:27.311 --> 01:32:32.635
Yeah, do I think they both know the capital of the United States of America is Washington D?

01:32:32.635 --> 01:32:35.756
Can they name one of the three branches of government?

01:32:35.756 --> 01:32:37.158
Yes, they can.

01:32:37.158 --> 01:32:39.240
I'm sure they can Listen, man.

01:32:39.240 --> 01:32:43.773
I'm talking about stuff that is so ridiculously.

01:32:43.773 --> 01:32:52.635
What is the name of the war where the United States battled itself between the Confederacy and the Union?

01:32:52.635 --> 01:32:55.021
Do I think they both know that's the Civil War?

01:32:55.021 --> 01:33:10.061
Yes, what document is used as the basis of government, now that one does one of them say the Declaration of Independence instead of the Constitution, maybe.

01:33:10.061 --> 01:33:12.069
Maybe one of the two misses that two.

01:33:12.069 --> 01:33:12.449
Wait a minute.

01:33:13.033 --> 01:33:18.109
Your own president who was asked about the Constitution.

01:33:18.109 --> 01:33:30.328
Well, you know, I'm going to go with Declaration of Independence and he said well, it's a declaration, obviously, and it's a declaration of love and unity, and he was talking about when they asked him what was the Declaration of Independence.

01:33:30.328 --> 01:33:47.351
So if you got the POTUS saying this right, I have to believe that we got just as many not so informed members of Congress about our founding documents and the importance thereof.

01:33:47.351 --> 01:33:53.132
Hell, if you asked them what was the preamble, I don't think half of them would know.

01:33:57.506 --> 01:34:00.760
I'd have to review the we Enough to remember the we, the people.

01:34:01.121 --> 01:34:03.764
I'm not even asking you to tell me what it says.

01:34:03.764 --> 01:34:04.686
Just what is it?

01:34:04.686 --> 01:34:06.114
Oh, just the.

01:34:06.114 --> 01:34:06.500
We, the people.

01:34:06.500 --> 01:34:12.927
If you ask the average Congressman, where does the, where does the preamble go to?

01:34:12.927 --> 01:34:14.359
Does it go to the pledge of allegiance?

01:34:14.359 --> 01:34:16.060
Does it go to the US constitution?

01:34:16.060 --> 01:34:19.387
Does it go to the or just some random stuff?

01:34:19.387 --> 01:34:19.974
Or does it go to the article of the federation?

01:34:19.974 --> 01:34:21.027
Or Does it go to the or just some random stuff, right?

01:34:21.027 --> 01:34:23.641
Or does it go to the Articles of Confederation, or does it go to the Bible?

01:34:24.064 --> 01:34:26.043
Yeah, Like I guarantee you.

01:34:26.043 --> 01:34:36.284
I guarantee you, a significant number of our representatives will fail that question and that is scary, but the thing is that's my point.

01:34:36.525 --> 01:34:38.405
I don't want it to be difficult.

01:34:38.405 --> 01:34:40.445
That's not difficult though.

01:34:40.445 --> 01:34:47.393
I understand that, but for some people it is.

01:34:49.061 --> 01:34:49.864
What is the bar?

01:34:49.864 --> 01:34:53.988
What are the colors of the flag?

01:34:53.988 --> 01:34:58.399
Washington DC God damn right, All right, you're good Congressman, Go ahead and go.

01:34:59.360 --> 01:35:02.831
So here's the funny thing like that, like if that could be one of the questions.

01:35:02.831 --> 01:35:04.002
What are the three?

01:35:04.002 --> 01:35:06.409
What are the three prominent colors on the flag?

01:35:06.409 --> 01:35:14.864
You might have some people like yellow and green, the gas flag, that's the only flag I reckon, or is it yellow or black?

01:35:14.864 --> 01:35:15.587
So?

01:35:15.587 --> 01:35:21.430
But preamble OK, you could trip some people up with the preamble, sure.

01:35:21.800 --> 01:35:32.972
You know what is how many, how many questions or how many, how many amendments are in the Bill of Rights.

01:35:32.972 --> 01:35:36.409
That would get some people the original Bill of Rights.

01:35:36.409 --> 01:35:45.594
But again, if you're saying you still only need to get seven out of ten, I think they all pass.

01:35:45.594 --> 01:35:55.890
I do think MTG and Crockett, both again depending on which question, and then what you have to do is you actually have to have about 20 questions.

01:35:55.890 --> 01:35:59.841
So when you hand it out they're all different, just like in high school, you know.

01:35:59.841 --> 01:36:02.529
So you can't look over at somebody else.

01:36:02.529 --> 01:36:03.953
What did you get for three?

01:36:03.953 --> 01:36:07.206
I don't know, that's a different one than you, oh my God.

01:36:07.206 --> 01:36:12.225
Three, the three, the Bible?

01:36:12.225 --> 01:36:13.569
No, no, that's not mine.

01:36:13.569 --> 01:36:16.587
Mine doesn't say the Bible on three, mine says the legislature.

01:36:16.587 --> 01:36:17.903
What do you mean?

01:36:17.922 --> 01:36:23.212
number three so I can cut this point clean.

01:36:23.212 --> 01:36:42.565
If we were to give the members of Congress the sitting members of Congress a 20 question civics test With the grading criteria being 70 percent above, what is the percentage of sitting Congress members do you think will pass?

01:36:44.242 --> 01:36:47.186
When we're talking about basic level civics.

01:36:47.920 --> 01:36:48.244
Basic.

01:36:48.244 --> 01:36:49.359
We're talking 9th grade.

01:36:49.359 --> 01:36:50.469
What is 9th grade?

01:36:50.509 --> 01:36:52.564
civics 9th grade civics.

01:36:52.564 --> 01:36:56.583
I think there is a 95% pass rate at least.

01:36:56.583 --> 01:37:01.654
No way, no way.

01:37:01.654 --> 01:37:11.039
Now high school civicsics I think if you're talking high school civics it probably drops down to around 85 percent so what do you think about?

01:37:12.162 --> 01:37:12.524
what do you think?

01:37:12.524 --> 01:37:13.685
Members of the administration.

01:37:13.685 --> 01:37:15.752
Members of the administration how many?

01:37:15.752 --> 01:37:19.027
You think okay?

01:37:19.027 --> 01:37:21.632
Yeah, we, we're definitely cutting this up and I got to get the comments.

01:37:21.632 --> 01:37:26.551
Matter of fact, this is going to be the first segment we run this week, because I have to hear the comments.

01:37:26.640 --> 01:37:42.046
There is no way I never see the comments anyway, I'm thinking 60% at best and with that you could put a thing that says go to the poll and vote and see what happens, but okay, but hold on.

01:37:42.046 --> 01:37:59.115
This goes back to a very similar thing in terms of if you ask the average person, if we asked you 20 questions about the country, about civics first of all, how many people don't even know what civics is?

01:37:59.115 --> 01:38:00.400
Right country about civics.

01:38:00.421 --> 01:38:02.442
First of all, how many people don't even know what civics is Right?

01:38:02.442 --> 01:38:16.914
But if you were to say we're going to ask you 20 questions, what would the average person and again, let's go ninth grade civics or high school, because you're going to have a huge drop, because I don't think even ninth graders.

01:38:16.914 --> 01:38:24.784
I think if you had ninth grade civics questions for ninth graders, they do better than the average American because hopefully they've been studying it that year.

01:38:24.784 --> 01:38:35.122
But the further you get away from a civics class, it's like anything, you forget about it, unless you're somebody who likes politics, like you.

01:38:35.122 --> 01:38:37.503
Ask our audience anybody who's watching this and is willing to pay attention to what we're saying.

01:38:37.503 --> 01:38:39.895
Ask our audience anybody who's watching this and is willing to pay attention to what we're saying.

01:38:39.895 --> 01:38:45.568
My guess is their knowledge on civics is actually probably pretty high.

01:38:45.568 --> 01:38:59.662
Right, but if you talk to Sportsbro, who is only worried about NFL or NBA or what's going on in the playoffs yeah, I mean civics I don't give a crap.

01:38:59.662 --> 01:39:01.688
I don't care about government stuff.

01:39:01.688 --> 01:39:02.751
What do I care?

01:39:04.341 --> 01:39:07.488
I think that's the person who's still going out and voting every four years.

01:39:07.488 --> 01:39:13.844
Yeah, I think they have to Not even that, though, what's our voting turnout every year of eligible voters Are we lucky to get.

01:39:13.844 --> 01:39:16.533
Have we even broken 50% recently?

01:39:17.376 --> 01:39:26.289
No, I think the Biden one was the highest turnout because he was, you know, you literally could do it from your couch, literally.

01:39:26.289 --> 01:39:28.983
You know what?

01:39:28.983 --> 01:39:30.182
I think they have a show.

01:39:30.182 --> 01:39:31.645
Are you Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?

01:39:31.645 --> 01:39:32.175
For a Reason?

01:39:32.175 --> 01:39:37.106
Yeah, I am extremely pessimistic, so I'm betting low when it comes to that sort of thing.

01:39:38.581 --> 01:39:40.307
So, liberty, I get your point.

01:39:40.307 --> 01:40:07.649
That said, knowing what they like by the media or whoever it is, I think that that's where the problem becomes.

01:40:07.649 --> 01:40:16.688
If you are going to listen to Trump or Biden, or MTG or OAC and say, oh well, what they say is just good enough, I'm good, that's the problem.

01:40:18.699 --> 01:40:19.744
I'll give you a prime example.

01:40:19.744 --> 01:40:21.024
Right, I'll give you a prime example.

01:40:21.024 --> 01:40:24.100
So they did a split poll when they were doing testing.

01:40:24.100 --> 01:40:37.828
They sent a poll out to Republican voters and they asked them two questions Out of the two policies, which policy did you prefer and why?

01:40:37.828 --> 01:40:40.574
The first policy was Obamacare.

01:40:40.574 --> 01:40:44.503
The second policy was the Affordable Care Act.

01:40:44.503 --> 01:40:52.100
Right, and astoundingly, they voted overwhelmingly that they could not.

01:40:52.100 --> 01:41:00.889
They hated the Obamacare plan and they had every reason in the book about privacy and my lawyers and this, that and the other.

01:41:00.889 --> 01:41:11.975
But on that same exact poll, the very next question, they voted overwhelmingly for the Affordable Care Act because it was a solid policy.

01:41:11.975 --> 01:41:20.154
So that's why Liberty knows they need to know more than just the policy, because people, again, are ignorant and they can be.

01:41:20.154 --> 01:41:22.127
They can be manipulated easily.

01:41:22.186 --> 01:41:22.427
Yeah.

01:41:22.427 --> 01:41:31.609
And if you did that same poll for Democrats and said what, what was your favorite part of the inflation reduction act?

01:41:31.609 --> 01:41:36.884
Exactly For Democrats, 95% would say what it brought down inflation.

01:41:38.569 --> 01:41:41.447
Yeah, it's, that's what I'm saying.

01:41:41.447 --> 01:41:43.488
So either red or blue is the same thing.

01:41:43.488 --> 01:41:45.507
Just, the vast majority of people.

01:41:45.507 --> 01:41:49.771
They don't care to go past the headline, right?

01:41:49.771 --> 01:41:53.787
Or you can attach it A prime example what was the other one?

01:41:53.787 --> 01:41:58.088
The uproar about the emails, right?

01:41:58.088 --> 01:41:59.265
Or I'll give you a better one.

01:41:59.265 --> 01:42:02.427
Right, trump and Mar-a-Lago with the documents?

01:42:02.427 --> 01:42:05.347
Right, it was absolutely, absolutely.

01:42:05.347 --> 01:42:15.470
And then two weeks later, biden had him in a Corvette, in a garage and everybody's like but it's the same thing, it's the same thing.

01:42:15.470 --> 01:42:20.667
So people are easily manipulating it and that's a psychology thing, right?

01:42:20.667 --> 01:42:23.890
You know, it just depends on what your biases are.

01:42:26.261 --> 01:42:35.148
Oh, liberty, you're now making our argument for us, the information that they get.

01:42:35.148 --> 01:42:50.256
If it's not a, if kids are out of school, I would argue at least 90% of kids do not read a book after high school.

01:42:50.256 --> 01:42:57.452
I defend the right of people to remain stupid as well, but I don't want them voting.

01:42:59.505 --> 01:43:01.681
But they affect the rest of us, though, with their voting.

01:43:01.681 --> 01:43:04.762
But you know what the cool thing about it I found out?

01:43:04.762 --> 01:43:14.103
You know what's really cool about that is that's how America no, you're good, that's how America always has been right.

01:43:14.103 --> 01:43:23.091
So, matter of fact, what was the election cycle when David Crockett was getting elected into the Senate out of Tennessee?

01:43:23.091 --> 01:43:27.025
They did.

01:43:27.025 --> 01:43:29.934
They did the exact similar thing, right?

01:43:29.934 --> 01:43:33.493
So a lot of this, a lot of this was the exact same way, right?

01:43:33.493 --> 01:43:40.940
But they use newspapers and people were sending in comments and all this other stuff, the exact same way we're doing digitally.

01:43:40.940 --> 01:43:42.465
And it just showed it.

01:43:42.465 --> 01:43:44.930
Yeah, it just showed the majority of the country.

01:43:44.930 --> 01:43:57.332
If you don't recognize the name, or if you don't don't, you know, recognize the policy that that your favorite politician has associated the name with you, don't give two shits about it, right?

01:43:57.332 --> 01:43:58.373
So it's not.

01:43:58.373 --> 01:44:01.460
It's not unique what we're going through.

01:44:01.460 --> 01:44:02.322
It just.

01:44:02.322 --> 01:44:06.391
I guess, with the access, we're able to see it more abundantly.

01:44:06.391 --> 01:44:08.622
Right, like America has always done.

01:44:09.184 --> 01:44:17.185
We've I mean we've always been misinformed or easily manipulated Americans have when it comes to voting.

01:44:19.630 --> 01:44:37.962
So I think there's a little bit difference here, because in the 1700s and 1800s the problem was there weren't enough schools and there weren't enough kids going to school and getting formal educations because of the agrarian style of America.

01:44:37.983 --> 01:44:39.524
Fair enough, because of the agrarian style of America, fair enough.

01:44:39.604 --> 01:44:48.649
So those that went to school got a pretty decent education, more classical education, 20th century rolls around.

01:44:48.649 --> 01:44:51.911
There you go Right, right.

01:44:51.911 --> 01:45:00.195
Then you roll around into the 20th century and this is when the public school system starts coming into play and they start making it.

01:45:00.195 --> 01:45:24.194
Basically some of the well, I mean it was, it was social engineering by a lot of the mega, you know the Rockefellers and I'm not saying Rockefeller himself, but Rockefeller, chase Ford, all those guys and they were basically saying we need workers, so we're going to educate them just well enough to be able to read an instruction manual, so then go work in the factories.

01:45:24.194 --> 01:45:33.805
So until we get to the point where education becomes a priority and I don't know if that will ever happen, I don't know.

01:45:33.885 --> 01:45:40.690
It's amazing to me I talked to my kids about this that they don't like to read and they don't like to read books.

01:45:40.690 --> 01:45:43.469
And you know my youngest, she does TikTok or whatever.

01:45:43.469 --> 01:45:53.395
And the amazing thing is like, if you're a boomer or you're a Gen Xer, you look at this and you go this is the most incredible thing in the history of humanity.

01:45:53.395 --> 01:46:03.721
This little device is more revolutionary than airplanes, than nuclear power, than fire, like really.

01:46:03.721 --> 01:46:04.564
This is it.

01:46:04.564 --> 01:46:10.412
This is the pinnacle of human evolution, where we're at, and human knowledge.

01:46:10.412 --> 01:46:19.234
And these kids use it to watch silly videos about silly things and lip syncs and whatever else.

01:46:19.234 --> 01:46:26.126
And if you say, hey, I'll give you $10 if you go on and you actually read a book, and they go, man, it's not worth it.

01:46:26.126 --> 01:46:31.479
You know it's such a disconnect.

01:46:31.479 --> 01:46:49.069
And when idiocracy becomes the reality, of whether it's the United States or whatever, of whether it's the United States or whatever, I don't know if it'll quite get that bad, because by then we'll be under the Japanese overlords who actually are still worried about education.

01:46:49.680 --> 01:46:52.520
Yeah, I want to bring this up, so I left it up for a reason.

01:46:52.520 --> 01:46:57.207
So, liberty, when he was talking about you know in rural areas with low literacy rates.

01:46:59.359 --> 01:47:13.073
Crockett's legend being passed around like folklore is the exact same thing that AI is doing and deep fake manipulation.

01:47:13.073 --> 01:47:15.948
It's the same thing, right, it is the same thing.

01:47:15.948 --> 01:47:17.204
And I'll give you a prime example.

01:47:17.204 --> 01:47:25.609
Right, people will say, oh well, biden was good for the economy Eventually sure, there are some things that could be manipulated.

01:47:25.609 --> 01:47:29.581
Or they'll say, oh, I'll give you the immigration issue, right?

01:47:29.581 --> 01:47:31.344
Oh, immigration is that the other.

01:47:31.344 --> 01:47:37.914
But then you tell them well, president, 44 deported more people than Trump and Biden combined.

01:47:37.914 --> 01:47:39.823
And they're like oh well, I didn't know that.

01:47:39.823 --> 01:47:43.328
Right, so it's the same thing, it's.

01:47:43.328 --> 01:47:45.671
There's a difference.

01:47:45.752 --> 01:47:46.854
We have access.

01:47:46.854 --> 01:47:55.501
We have access now to more knowledge than at any other time in human history, yet we are the most ignorant.

01:47:55.501 --> 01:47:57.203
I think we are.

01:47:57.203 --> 01:48:06.828
We are at the precipice of being the most ignorant society in human history, and I don't think that's a coincidence, I think it's by design.

01:48:06.828 --> 01:48:15.934
And I said this before with the racist diatribe right, they used to have this racist trope that came out in the 90s.

01:48:15.934 --> 01:48:18.565
We used to hear it a lot, and I think I told you about it before.

01:48:18.565 --> 01:48:28.744
If you wanted to hide anything from a nigga, put it in a book, and I think, just like, yeah, you can't say that I got it, I got this part.

01:48:28.744 --> 01:48:37.466
So I think, just like with that, just like with Pratt, it spilled over into society's mainstream.

01:48:37.466 --> 01:48:45.327
What was once meant for a certain segment our poorest and our uneducated has now spilled over into the mainstream.

01:48:45.327 --> 01:48:57.033
And now it is normal to be uneducated, it is normal to be loud and wrong, or loud and misinformed than to be quiet and knowledgeable.

01:48:57.033 --> 01:48:59.005
But yeah, I talked a lot, dan, go ahead.

01:48:59.426 --> 01:49:00.349
Okay, no, that's fine.

01:49:00.349 --> 01:49:07.386
I want to talk about Thad's point and then keep going through and Liberty's last point.

01:49:07.386 --> 01:49:12.372
Okay, thad said we place a value in everything but education.

01:49:12.372 --> 01:49:15.185
We punish people for becoming educated in this country.

01:49:15.185 --> 01:49:18.667
I don't know if punished is the right word.

01:49:18.667 --> 01:49:23.381
I think mocked might be the right word, but that's true of.

01:49:23.381 --> 01:49:35.601
That's been going on for a long, long time, because when you have the kids going out in public schools, those kids who excelled were called bookworms, they were called eggheads.

01:49:35.601 --> 01:49:37.423
They were oh, look at that nerd.

01:49:37.423 --> 01:49:37.805
This goes.

01:49:37.805 --> 01:49:39.646
Look, this happened to me back in the.

01:49:39.646 --> 01:49:43.252
You know, I was growing up in the 80s and oh, what a nerd.

01:49:43.252 --> 01:49:45.055
Oh he's, he's just a total.

01:49:45.055 --> 01:49:48.707
Yeah, he can go, he'll look at him, he does his test and get a's on everything.

01:49:48.707 --> 01:49:50.671
What a nerd and like.

01:49:50.671 --> 01:50:00.304
And then you had and the ironic thing is, then you had a movie like revenge of the nerds come out and suddenly it was like, maybe it's okay to be a nerd, right get out of my head, man.

01:50:00.323 --> 01:50:04.208
No, the nerds got the nerds come out and suddenly it was like maybe it's OK to be a nerd, right, the nerds you know.

01:50:04.208 --> 01:50:07.894
Hey, look at the end of the movie the nerd got the girl out Right.

01:50:07.894 --> 01:50:14.404
So there's this whole turnaround and you start seeing the jocks kind of as the big meathead idiots.

01:50:14.404 --> 01:50:18.733
But ironically, you know most jocks honestly most jocks do actually pretty well in school.

01:50:18.733 --> 01:50:23.082
So it's this kind of this idea, this stereotyping, that happens.

01:50:23.082 --> 01:50:31.328
But Liberty as far as by design or conspiracy, the fact that people or the fact that people are lazier, now I do think.

01:50:31.328 --> 01:50:50.997
Originally again, I do think it was by design to some degree, because those people that were funding a lot of the education initiatives in this country were the very large, powerful men that ran factories and things that you need.

01:50:50.997 --> 01:51:02.007
You need to have a certain level of I don't want to say stupidity, because that's not the right word you have to have a apathy.

01:51:02.007 --> 01:51:25.604
You have to have a certain level of apathy to be able to take, take a uh a a nut and put it onto a post and repeat 5 000 times a day, because your job is to put the gears onto the gearbox and that is your job.

01:51:25.604 --> 01:51:27.688
You have to do that 5,000 times a day.

01:51:27.688 --> 01:51:31.068
If you don't have a level of apathy, you're going.

01:51:31.068 --> 01:51:33.292
What am I doing?

01:51:33.292 --> 01:51:34.565
This is the dumbest thing ever.

01:51:34.565 --> 01:51:40.203
But here's the funny thing I've been making this argument now for almost 20 years.

01:51:40.203 --> 01:51:43.487
We are all now George Jetson.

01:51:43.487 --> 01:51:48.412
Do you remember what George Jetson's job at Spacely Sprockets was?

01:51:48.412 --> 01:51:51.475
On the Jetsons, he pressed a button.

01:51:51.475 --> 01:51:52.596
That was his job.

01:51:52.596 --> 01:52:02.360
Service industry.

01:52:02.360 --> 01:52:03.002
Now it's pressing a button.

01:52:03.002 --> 01:52:06.091
You go online and you are pressing buttons, or you're a bank teller and you press buttons or whatever.

01:52:06.091 --> 01:52:17.007
We are a service industry driven country that has got away from building things and doing things ironically, from doing the sprocket to pressing buttons, but it's the same idea.

01:52:17.007 --> 01:52:20.515
So I think that it did come off of that.

01:52:20.515 --> 01:52:23.405
But now, now Liberty.

01:52:23.405 --> 01:52:27.140
Yes, you're absolutely right, and that's a whole nother thing we've we've talked about, I think.

01:52:27.140 --> 01:52:29.189
I think some of our upcoming guests.

01:52:29.189 --> 01:52:32.180
We've got a guest that's coming up in the next two months.

01:52:32.180 --> 01:52:38.713
We're going to be talking about schools and how schools are failing and anti intellectualism.

01:52:38.713 --> 01:52:41.429
I've started reading a book that she brought up.

01:52:41.429 --> 01:52:46.323
We've talked to her and we're going to bring it the idea of liberty.

01:52:46.323 --> 01:52:48.591
They want to work, less part-time work.

01:52:48.591 --> 01:52:50.104
They want their ideas respected.

01:52:50.104 --> 01:52:51.029
Here's the problem.

01:52:51.029 --> 01:52:52.145
That's not even what they want.

01:52:52.145 --> 01:52:59.340
They want to be able to become rich and famous because they made funny videos yeah, and famous because they made funny videos yeah.

01:52:59.340 --> 01:53:12.453
And when you have an unrealistic expectation of I'm going to become an influencer and I'm going to make money because I can create, and you see it, there are.

01:53:12.653 --> 01:53:16.096
There are people who do this, mr Beast.

01:53:16.096 --> 01:53:18.983
I think we all know who Mr Beast is.

01:53:18.983 --> 01:53:32.845
I read a report that Mr Beast was offered a billion dollars for his channels and his content and to continue to a billion dollars, and he turned it down and that was the right move.

01:53:32.845 --> 01:53:38.432
Who broke it down and said, with how much he's making, he shouldn't sell it because this is what he does.

01:53:38.432 --> 01:53:47.012
But for every one, mr Beast, there's a thousand guys like KG and I who do podcasts that aren't going to go anywhere.

01:53:47.012 --> 01:53:56.389
Kg and I really don't do this because it's like, oh, we're going to get big and we're going to get a big audience, we're going to start making money, we're going to be able to retire For us.

01:53:56.389 --> 01:53:59.595
Like KG and I, my wife has said why do you do that?

01:53:59.595 --> 01:54:00.958
You guys don't make any money on it.

01:54:00.958 --> 01:54:01.260
Blah, blah, blah.

01:54:01.260 --> 01:54:02.886
I say it's not about money.

01:54:03.300 --> 01:54:23.926
This guarantees that I can talk to my friend for an hour or two every week, and so this started off as us just BSing over lunches and it's evolved into us being able to talk online the same way as we did in lunches and we think it's interesting for us, so maybe other people find it interesting.

01:54:23.926 --> 01:54:30.292
So, yeah, ai is going to do a lot of this stuff.

01:54:30.292 --> 01:54:33.382
Ai is going to Grok.

01:54:33.382 --> 01:54:36.070
You can make music on some of this AI stuff that sounds.

01:54:36.180 --> 01:54:38.386
Time is kicking our ass in content production anyway, right Like that sounds.

01:54:38.386 --> 01:54:40.974
China's kicking our ass in content production anyway, right Like that's.

01:54:40.993 --> 01:54:41.094
Yeah.

01:54:42.559 --> 01:54:47.420
We are, ai will never be able to sit down and have a discussion.

01:54:47.420 --> 01:54:57.929
That, to me, I don't think, though I don't think AI will be able to sit down and have an off-the-cuff discussion in a way that is interesting enough to keep it involved.

01:54:57.929 --> 01:55:06.911
But I could be wrong, because I've had some discussions with Grok recently and tried to trip up the AI, and I've been able to.

01:55:06.911 --> 01:55:12.211
I've been able to get AI to contradict itself, and then suddenly it goes oh, you're right to point out the contradiction.

01:55:12.211 --> 01:55:14.385
It's like yeah, because the algorithm tells you to do that.

01:55:14.385 --> 01:55:17.452
Right, china's not way smarter than us.

01:55:17.452 --> 01:55:19.585
China just has way more people.

01:55:20.046 --> 01:55:21.671
That's what Zillow got in trouble for.

01:55:21.671 --> 01:55:24.346
That's what got him kicked out of Doge.

01:55:25.631 --> 01:55:26.011
Yeah.

01:55:26.011 --> 01:55:28.476
So here's that.

01:55:28.476 --> 01:55:46.422
I agree it will never replace human creativity completely, but it will be able to create mediocre content that people will watch and ingest enough that it will damage the average mediocre.

01:55:46.422 --> 01:55:55.764
So if I'm a writer for the Hallmark movie, if I'm a writer of Hallmark movies, I'm scared crapless about AI.

01:55:55.764 --> 01:56:22.186
Because if I go in and say, hey, ai, write me a tool, write me a script, go back and read all the scripts from Hallmark movies over the last 20 years and write me a script about a young girl in a small town that does this, this and this and kind of, just put it in and it'll spit out a very generic and somebody will produce it.

01:56:22.186 --> 01:56:29.331
It because you already see Hallmark making the movies like that True comedy and truly interesting movies.

01:56:29.331 --> 01:56:33.689
Are you going to have a AI be able to do what Christopher Nolan does?

01:56:33.689 --> 01:56:34.671
No.

01:56:34.671 --> 01:56:37.386
Are you going to be able to have them do what Larry David does?

01:56:37.386 --> 01:56:38.270
No.

01:56:38.270 --> 01:56:43.832
Are you going to have an AI late night host that is basically Space Ghost?

01:56:43.832 --> 01:56:47.630
Yeah, you will, and people will watch it.

01:56:48.802 --> 01:56:50.659
Was that Gene Simmons that talked about?

01:56:50.659 --> 01:56:53.088
I think Gene Simmons had an issue with that a while.

01:56:53.088 --> 01:57:00.546
He said something to the effect of people are afraid to suck right, and that's what drives a lot of this AI.

01:57:00.546 --> 01:57:15.447
Like, back in the day, you had to, like, get some friends and, like you know, get booed off of talent shows in high school and, you know, get booed out of a couple of bars and play crappy music in your garage for a couple of years before you got to that point.

01:57:15.568 --> 01:57:18.476
But now everything is so instant gratification.

01:57:18.476 --> 01:57:29.811
People don't want to go through that sucky phase, right, and I think we're a product of that on our own, because we kind of steamrolled it as a society which shows like American Idol and this, that and the other.

01:57:29.811 --> 01:57:52.466
We give the illusion of overnight success, but the reality is it takes years of hard work to become an overnight success, right, and that's where people not only in entertainment but people are realizing that in school too, like, oh, nobody wants to put in the work to learn, right, they want a micro loan, they want to do everything in micro doses.

01:57:52.466 --> 01:57:56.947
What's the most bang I can put in the least amount of time.

01:57:57.307 --> 01:57:58.670
Yeah, why do I need to know?

01:57:58.670 --> 01:57:59.731
Why do I need to know?

01:57:59.731 --> 01:58:00.654
I've got it all right here.

01:58:03.065 --> 01:58:03.688
I don't know, man.

01:58:03.688 --> 01:58:08.505
I think we're past the tipping point of changing.

01:58:09.606 --> 01:58:11.951
Maybe, I hope not.

01:58:12.551 --> 01:58:18.140
You have again, like I said, history with its indicators.

01:58:18.140 --> 01:58:31.375
In the 80s we had a president out of California who was a governor, who had an issue with an educated African-American populace, right.

01:58:31.375 --> 01:58:38.569
So his solution to that was to raise the prices of schools, right, and I think that was the creation of of our friends Fannie and Freddie Right who with the.

01:58:38.569 --> 01:58:46.774
That was the creation of of our friends Fannie and Freddie Right who with the provisionalization of student loans and that's, when you see that, that huge boom in tuition.

01:58:47.900 --> 01:58:50.769
So we got the, but then you had W come in and do.

01:58:50.769 --> 01:58:51.872
No Child Left Behind.

01:58:52.600 --> 01:58:53.903
Well, again too.

01:58:53.903 --> 01:59:04.363
But that was no Child Left Behind, with the addition of cutting out the service, the service courses which led to creative thinking and entrepreneurship.

01:59:04.363 --> 01:59:06.310
Right, it was no child left behind.

01:59:06.310 --> 01:59:11.692
But at the same time, we're taking out your shop, we're taking out a, we're taking your music class, we're taking out.

01:59:15.539 --> 01:59:18.444
Oh for sure, Liberty, it probably didn't even take a minute.

01:59:18.444 --> 01:59:26.435
However long it took you to write in the prompt, it probably took AI half a second to actually create music.

01:59:26.435 --> 01:59:41.555
But I think that Thad's point is right in that whatever AI can do, it can't do creativity better than a human.

01:59:42.300 --> 01:59:43.626
I think that's kind of the big thing.

01:59:43.626 --> 01:59:50.310
Now we dumb ourselves down to a larger degree, because I've always argued with things like American Idol.

01:59:50.310 --> 01:59:52.889
Okay, who wins American Idol?

01:59:52.889 --> 01:59:56.349
For the most part there is some talent.

01:59:56.349 --> 01:59:56.869
They can sing.

01:59:56.869 --> 01:59:57.671
For the most part, right.

01:59:57.671 --> 02:00:00.525
But do you think Bob Dylan could have won American Idol?

02:00:00.525 --> 02:00:02.872
No Of course not Tom Petty.

02:00:02.872 --> 02:00:04.305
No, of course not.

02:00:04.305 --> 02:00:10.974
There are some like does Olivia Newton-John win American Idol Absolutely.

02:00:11.260 --> 02:00:13.247
Does Bruce Springsteen win American Idol?

02:00:13.488 --> 02:00:16.904
No, Not a chance.

02:00:16.904 --> 02:00:24.713
But then again we also have transgenders that are winning women's pageants.

02:00:24.713 --> 02:00:33.323
We have we have, shall we say, gravitationally blessed women that are now in beauty pageants Look.

02:00:33.382 --> 02:00:39.523
Personally, I think a beauty pageant should, should be about people yeah, you should be natural, like you shouldn't be able to do.

02:00:39.523 --> 02:00:40.144
Pageant should be about beauty.

02:00:40.144 --> 02:00:40.585
It's a beauty pageant.

02:00:40.585 --> 02:00:42.649
Yeah, it should be natural, like you shouldn't be able to do.

02:00:42.649 --> 02:00:45.253
See, and that's you know what.

02:00:45.253 --> 02:00:46.676
Man, I don't know if we got enough time for that.

02:00:47.560 --> 02:00:50.429
And people might get mad at me and say how dare you say that?

02:00:50.429 --> 02:00:54.029
It's about looks, it's a beauty pageant, the whole point.

02:00:54.029 --> 02:01:04.445
Now, if you want to have a, just a pageant for the most talented person, Look, I'm going to.

02:01:04.445 --> 02:01:24.189
Okay, so when I went on my mission in Taiwan, there was a sister missionary and if this gets back to her Sorry, sister Ramirez, who I did not I thought Sister Ramirez had a lot of Sister Ramirez and I did not see eye to eye on a lot of things.

02:01:24.189 --> 02:01:26.002
Okay, after our missions.

02:01:26.002 --> 02:01:27.890
Now she went back to Wyoming.

02:01:27.890 --> 02:01:30.548
She won the Miss Wyoming pageant.

02:01:30.548 --> 02:01:34.621
Now, she was very talented musically and I think.

02:01:34.962 --> 02:01:38.110
But as far as, like, attractiveness, I didn't see it.

02:01:38.110 --> 02:01:43.091
Now, I'm not going to win any, any beauty pageants or handsome pageants either.

02:01:43.091 --> 02:01:45.556
So don't get me wrong, I'm very realistic about it.

02:01:45.556 --> 02:01:49.725
But when I saw that I was just like, seriously, I thought it was a beauty pageant.

02:01:49.725 --> 02:01:54.029
So I think we get away.

02:01:56.000 --> 02:02:04.309
We've evolved in ways that are good and we've evolved, evolved in ways that are bad, and I think there is a way back.

02:02:04.429 --> 02:02:12.452
And honestly, I think AI is going to either pull us back from the precipice or push us over with both hands.

02:02:13.934 --> 02:02:40.900
Because, again, I look at AI and I say, if AI is done in a way that is for the benefit of mankind, we are going to turn the corner and take off in every field imaginable, because AI will be able to train people how to learn and push them in ways and push them in ways Again.

02:02:40.900 --> 02:03:07.440
Like I would love to have a situation where my 11-year-old sat down in front of a computer and, according to what interactions AI has real AI had with my daughter, ai comes back and says all right, my daughter's really talented in this, so we're going to make it harder for her to learn, you know, challenge her more in English, because she's a good writer or whatever it is Right, and where she's not as strong at math.

02:03:07.440 --> 02:03:08.707
I'm going to slow down a little bit.

02:03:08.707 --> 02:03:13.622
Make sure you understand the basic more and do all that they can.

02:03:13.622 --> 02:03:15.824
They can Liberty, but not in a.

02:03:15.824 --> 02:03:24.836
It's not in a way that I think is intuitive enough to hand my daughter off to the AI.

02:03:27.185 --> 02:03:27.969
That was the Chinese.

02:03:27.969 --> 02:03:28.301
Remember?

02:03:28.301 --> 02:03:33.672
We watched a video a couple of months ago about the Chinese school system, who had integrated that.

02:03:33.672 --> 02:03:42.475
So you have your own Japanese Japanese, your own, your own AI tutor, specifically tied into your lesson plan.

02:03:42.475 --> 02:03:55.775
So the teacher would give the instruction, but, based on your performance in homework and classwork, the tutor would then create an individualized plan on your strengths and weaknesses to help you.

02:03:55.775 --> 02:03:57.363
I think that would be phenomenal.

02:03:57.363 --> 02:03:58.967
But here's the problem, though.

02:03:58.967 --> 02:04:09.131
That leads to a more educated society and a society of thinkers is dangerous to those in power.

02:04:09.131 --> 02:04:15.305
So do I think it's by design.

02:04:15.305 --> 02:04:30.662
Sure, it's easier for me to fill your algorithms up with mundane dances and you know trends and stuff that's going to keep you distracted, as opposed to give you the information and the tools you need.

02:04:30.662 --> 02:04:41.609
To know that I'm stealing from you and I'm not working in your best interest, because the minute you find out that I'm not working in your best interest, you're going to try to hold me accountable, and that's the last thing I want you to do.

02:04:42.551 --> 02:04:45.488
My wife spends time online Not a ton, but she does.

02:04:45.488 --> 02:04:46.310
My kids do.

02:04:46.310 --> 02:04:56.287
My wife didn't know what was going on with India and Pakistan until I told her a couple days ago we were at the brink of nuclear war and it never came up in her feed.

02:04:56.287 --> 02:05:01.628
And yes, the government is intentionally keeping voters stupid.

02:05:01.628 --> 02:05:02.631
Yes, Absolutely.

02:05:04.381 --> 02:05:05.583
I will tell you that.

02:05:05.583 --> 02:05:11.413
What happened with the governor from California who won the presidency?

02:05:11.413 --> 02:05:12.314
It started with him.

02:05:12.314 --> 02:05:14.559
It started before that.

02:05:14.759 --> 02:05:16.807
Well, before that, it started in the 20th century.

02:05:17.331 --> 02:05:18.877
No, no, no, I'm talking about the intent of that.

02:05:18.877 --> 02:05:19.939
It started in the 20th century.

02:05:19.939 --> 02:05:18.985
No, no, no, I'm talking about the intent.

02:05:18.985 --> 02:05:37.090
The intent was to shift the lower income and disenfranchised from being able to be self-sufficient.

02:05:37.090 --> 02:05:43.582
What happened was you saw a big shift in the age where they took out the classes of.

02:05:43.582 --> 02:05:51.929
They took out the skills classes, right, both parties.

02:05:51.929 --> 02:06:07.783
So they took out the skills and entrepreneurial classes, right, because I think we kind of talked about this with Dubois and Washington right, where one says, hey, man, as long as you have a skill, you're useful.

02:06:07.783 --> 02:06:13.083
And then Dubois was like no, no, no, go to college, get an education and then you'll be more useful, right.

02:06:13.083 --> 02:06:15.690
So we kind of saw that playing out.

02:06:15.690 --> 02:06:21.250
Yeah, that's what I'm saying, that we kind of saw that playing out.

02:06:21.819 --> 02:06:30.912
So what happened is they got rid of the auto shops, they got rid of the home makes, they got rid of all the service-based classes, right, and they filled it with all this mundane stuff.

02:06:30.912 --> 02:06:32.783
That's crazy, right.

02:06:32.783 --> 02:06:44.411
And then they allowed the students to rack up all this debt, getting these degrees and stuff that holds no quantifiable value, right, and over time it just amplified, right.

02:06:44.411 --> 02:06:45.783
So it started in the 80s.

02:06:45.783 --> 02:06:59.201
You had this kind of resurgent in the 90s, where you had this, this, this Focus shift from being a self-sufficient individual to go to college, get an education Right.

02:06:59.280 --> 02:07:11.552
So society shifted and then in the 90s everybody got degrees and they had all kinds of weird degrees in philosophical arts and I got a degree in 13th century painting and all this other stuff right.

02:07:11.552 --> 02:07:20.140
And then, as that became more lucrative, people started to see it as a business opportunity, right.

02:07:20.140 --> 02:07:29.671
So then they realized that hey, if I keep offering you degrees and I keep raising the requirements, I can keep getting money, because you're going to have to keep getting loans to pay for college.

02:07:29.671 --> 02:07:32.003
So yeah, I do believe it's all by design.

02:07:32.043 --> 02:07:41.979
And if I got to go get my 10-4 hat, I will absolutely go get my 10-4 hat, but I am convinced the government wants to keep us stupid my 10-4 hat, but I am convinced the government wants to keep us stupid.

02:07:41.998 --> 02:07:48.886
I will say the pendulum is swinging back to a degree at least.

02:07:48.886 --> 02:07:54.126
Here in Georgia there are opportunities for, and in Texas too.

02:07:54.126 --> 02:07:57.822
Construction is a class you can take.

02:07:57.822 --> 02:08:02.170
You can specialize in construction, you can do cosmetology here.

02:08:02.170 --> 02:08:08.292
I've seen shop here is actually one of the classes had a firefighter.

02:08:08.292 --> 02:08:13.652
They could go in and they were voluntary firefighters yeah, some different.

02:08:13.652 --> 02:08:19.391
So it's kind of swinging back where college degrees now are not necessarily the end.

02:08:19.391 --> 02:08:21.860
All be all Right.

02:08:21.860 --> 02:08:28.527
And I've tried to push my son towards plummet honestly, because I think everybody needs a toilet.

02:08:28.527 --> 02:08:32.262
But if that's not what he wants to do, so be it.

02:08:32.262 --> 02:08:39.881
The arts are important, but we also push the idea that everybody can be an artist.

02:08:39.881 --> 02:08:43.287
There's no such thing as good or bad art, it's all subjective.

02:08:43.287 --> 02:08:49.528
Meanwhile the government went in and bought all the Truman Capote art just to confuse the Russians.

02:08:49.528 --> 02:08:54.362
So there's a lot of stuff that happens behind the scenes.

02:08:54.362 --> 02:08:55.382
And.

02:08:57.064 --> 02:09:00.407
I agree that degrees used to be.

02:09:00.407 --> 02:09:13.006
I do believe degrees used to be about you went to school for four years and you showed employers that you had the willingness to go in and stick with something for four years and then that showed something.

02:09:13.006 --> 02:09:14.604
But now I'm with KJ.

02:09:14.604 --> 02:09:19.079
It's a moneymaker and you have professors that go in and they check the box maker.

02:09:19.079 --> 02:09:41.085
And you have professors that go in and they check the box, and as long as they get their really pretty solid paycheck and without having to do too much, especially once they get tenure, then they can do whatever they want and there is there's some legit, legitimate pushback for that, and so I think I'll, I'll go last, I'll go last word for me, yep, and then KJ, you can wrap it up.

02:09:41.680 --> 02:10:19.072
But I think that as parents and grandparents, it is going to be imperative that the adults that care make sure that the children understand why education is important, why critical thinking is important, and then, if the kids aren't willing to do it, force their kids to learn how to critically think, because if you and I've caught, I've been caught sometimes if you're not able to tell the difference between a real image and an AI image and it's only going to get worse.

02:10:21.420 --> 02:10:22.884
A real image and an AI image, and it's only going to get worse.

02:10:22.884 --> 02:10:24.849
You're going to have to really put on your cynical glasses and go.

02:10:24.849 --> 02:10:25.149
It's all fake.

02:10:25.149 --> 02:10:28.743
And so I'm going to have to figure this out on my own, and maybe that's going to be.

02:10:28.743 --> 02:10:37.444
The positive pushback is, I can't trust anybody, so if I can't figure this out on my own, then it's on.

02:10:37.444 --> 02:10:51.686
You know, I'm not going to believe anybody else until I accept it for myself, and maybe that's the basis of that's the basis of religion too, and maybe that's what it becomes is the religion of self-education, which is not a bad thing.

02:10:55.172 --> 02:10:55.573
That's it.

02:10:55.573 --> 02:10:56.614
I like it, man?

02:10:56.614 --> 02:10:58.582
Um, I guess I would.

02:10:58.582 --> 02:11:07.234
I would just piggyback off of that and say you know, no, no ruling society will give you the information to overthrow them.

02:11:07.234 --> 02:11:08.400
Right?

02:11:08.400 --> 02:11:21.052
I've always been a firm believer that I will teach my kids everything they need to know and I will allow them to supplement my teaching because it's my responsibility.

02:11:21.052 --> 02:11:26.653
Nobody's going to teach my kid black history because it's not their responsibility.

02:11:26.653 --> 02:11:31.131
Nobody's going to teach my kid history or math, or it's my responsibility.

02:11:31.131 --> 02:11:34.990
The school system will supplement, and then they do a shitty job at doing that.

02:11:35.539 --> 02:11:43.762
So, personal responsibility, training your tribe, getting your own people where they need to be I think we've got to get back to that.

02:11:43.762 --> 02:11:54.600
We've supplemented, we've supplemented too many, too many of our responsibilities to the government, and now it's time, as a society, to to take back our own responsibility.

02:11:54.600 --> 02:12:00.172
Right, we can no longer blame the school systems for our kids being dumb.

02:12:00.172 --> 02:12:03.846
As a parent, you have to take some some right.

02:12:03.846 --> 02:12:08.859
Right, and you can't you just, you just can't rely on the government.

02:12:08.859 --> 02:12:17.177
It was never meant to be relied on, and people have, you know, perverted and manipulated your belief system to making you feel that way.

02:12:17.177 --> 02:12:19.122
So you got to take your power back.

02:12:19.122 --> 02:12:28.091
You know self--sustain, get in the garden, learn how to feed yourself, learn how to cook, learn how to educate yourself and get ready.

02:12:28.091 --> 02:12:32.448
Parents got to get educated too.

02:12:32.448 --> 02:12:36.850
Parents got to get educated too Everybody.

02:12:36.850 --> 02:12:38.644
It's a societal issue.

02:12:38.644 --> 02:12:43.068
It's's systemic and the only way to break it is to be the first one.

02:12:43.068 --> 02:12:45.358
Somebody got to be the first one, other than that lance.

02:12:45.358 --> 02:12:46.140
You got anything else?

02:12:46.140 --> 02:12:46.783
Utah?

02:12:46.922 --> 02:12:56.573
hey, man, nba draft, nba draft tomorrow night let's go jazz hey, let's let the ping pong balls fall, in your favor may may the nba ping pong balls.

02:12:56.573 --> 02:13:05.421
Be forever in the jazz's favor, because if there's something we need, we need need a white superstar in Salt Lake City, a white superstar man.

02:13:05.481 --> 02:13:07.569

02:13:07.569 --> 02:13:10.007

02:13:10.007 --> 02:13:12.328

02:13:12.328 --> 02:13:13.662

02:13:19.588 --> 02:13:21.572
Gee man, what do you want to do tonight?

02:13:22.172 --> 02:13:23.935
The same thing we do every night.

02:13:23.935 --> 02:13:29.145
Pinky, Try to take over the world.

02:13:29.145 --> 02:13:31.090
All right, yo, let's get into it.

02:13:31.090 --> 02:13:32.813
Try to take over the world.

02:13:35.020 --> 02:13:35.863
You're preaching freedom.

02:13:35.863 --> 02:13:39.359
Try to take over the world.

02:13:40.680 --> 02:13:42.462
The hands of the greatest chaplain in the world, mr Lance O'Neill, try to take over the world.

02:13:42.462 --> 02:13:43.444
And greatest chaplain in the world, mr Larson Neal.

Take over the world, yo.
