Finally, thank you,

1:20

finally, Missouri AG

1:23

is suing New York, Alvin

1:25

Bragg over prosecuting Donald Trump for election interference.

1:27

Finally. You need some more out of this?

1:31

I've mentioned Anthony Fauci's guidelines

1:33

were directly impacting red states.

1:36

They can go after Fauci for these things. Shout

1:39

out to Missouri for actually making these

1:41

moves. To be fair, we've

1:43

seen some great stuff from Texas and Missouri. They've

1:45

been filing lawsuits, defending free speech, challenging big

1:47

tech corporations. A little bit out of Florida

1:49

too, so I do appreciate it. I want

1:51

to see, this is a good

1:54

start, but we've got to see some criminal investigations and

1:56

that's got to come from red states. We

1:58

will talk about that. Donald Trump. Trump made big

2:00

news today when he said he wanted to give

2:02

green cards to college graduates and people are really...

2:05

they're debating this one, there's a lot of people who are upset, they disagree with

2:08

Trump on this one and we'll get into that.

2:10

And then of course Van Jones says it's game over

2:12

for Joe Biden if he cannot perform this debate and

2:14

they all know it! So we're

2:16

gonna talk about all that my friends, but

2:18

before we get started head over to song.link

2:21

slash Rachel. Why? Rachel

2:24

Holt has a new song out now

2:26

with based records. The song is titled

2:28

I Was Gonna Be and

2:30

it is... it's pretty deep. I

2:33

don't want to go too much into it myself because I'm gonna leave

2:35

it to Rachel to describe this, but this is...

2:37

it's an anti-abortion song. It's a song about protecting

2:39

life, being in support of life and

2:42

you guys should go to song.link slash

2:44

Rachel. Buy the song on iTunes. You

2:46

can buy it on Amazon too, but

2:48

I say buy it on iTunes because

2:51

like all the songs we've released, like the

2:53

songs Tom McDonald released or the one he did

2:55

with Ben Shapiro, we want to

2:57

prove that there's a market for this, that people care

2:59

about this and more importantly, whether you care about charting

3:01

on Billboard or not, it's just... it's

3:03

kind of funny when the corporate

3:06

press, which is overly woke and these

3:08

institutions are forced to reconcile with the

3:10

fact that conservative songs, right-wing

3:12

songs, liberty songs, anti-establishment songs are

3:15

actually making it up the charts.

3:17

Now I will say they are

3:19

trying to change the rules every single day

3:21

to prevent people like us or Rachel from

3:23

making it on the charts. You gotta love

3:25

it. But of course you can

3:27

go to once again, song.link slash Rachel. Buy the

3:30

song on iTunes. Check it out. I

3:32

recommend checking it out. See, if you like the song, you

3:34

should definitely buy it. Shout out to Bass Records. And

3:51

joining us tonight to talk about this and more. We've

3:53

got Rachel Holt. Yeah,

3:55

so this song is pretty much a

3:57

pro-life song and Chris Wallen here, he wrote it.

4:00

So we've been working on this song

4:02

for a while, but when he

4:04

first showed me it, Instant Chills. And

4:06

it's kind of just a song from the baby's point

4:08

of view. Chris, you want to tell your story

4:10

on it? Yeah, well, I actually start- We have

4:13

Chris Wallen joining us. Thank you. So

4:16

I actually started writing this song for myself

4:19

and just kind of, you know, I didn't think

4:22

anyone would ever have the courage to

4:25

sing this song. It was just one of those things that I

4:27

had to get out of me. And I

4:29

was about halfway through writing it when

4:31

a friend of mine introduced me to

4:33

Rachel. And

4:35

it just kind of hit me like a ton of bricks.

4:38

This is who needs to be singing this song. And

4:41

I didn't know if she would, but I played

4:43

it for her and she loved it.

4:46

And you know, for

4:48

me, it's just, I just

4:50

wanted to give a voice to the voiceless because

4:53

everybody talks about the other side,

4:55

but they never talk about the

4:57

actual baby. So I

4:59

just wanted to give that baby a voice. And

5:01

that's what I did. Right on. Rachel

5:04

had the courage to do it. So you're

5:06

a couple of musicians making some music. And

5:08

this is the latest song from Bass Records.

5:10

Shout out. Afroman had that song that hit

5:12

the charts. You know, Hunter Got

5:14

High. So we'll talk

5:17

about that. I think we're going to get a lot into the cultural

5:19

stuff once we get to the news. There's a lot of funny news

5:21

stuff we'll go through, but it is a Friday night, so we'll have

5:23

fun with it. And then at nine 30, y'all

5:25

are going to play the song for everybody live here in

5:27

the studio. We're really excited for it. We also got Libby

5:30

hanging out. I'm hanging out. I'm Libby Emmons.

5:32

I'm glad to be here. Right on. Hannah

5:35

Clare's here. I feel like I haven't seen Libby in forever. I'm

5:37

so glad you're back. It's been a while. Yeah. I've

5:39

had a lot of the personal stuff. You came the day after my dictatorship ended.

5:42

That's right. Yeah. I was

5:44

dictator for a day. Guys, thanks for all your support yesterday. I was really happy that

5:46

I got a chance to film for Tim. I'm glad he's feeling better. You

5:48

know, it's a lot of work running the show and I again, thank you

5:50

guys for all your support. Yeah. I'll

5:53

go ahead. Tim

5:56

cast, IRL I'm a writer for scnr.com. Follow

5:58

their work at Tim cast news. I don't

6:00

I don't know what they were telling y'all because I

6:02

wasn't here yesterday probably making stuff up I don't know

6:05

when there's a power vacuum you have to act right and

6:08

Trump said that he would be a ticket here for one day. So just yes

6:10

the energy yesterday. I woke up at 2 in the morning with

6:12

a my root canal

6:14

tooth was infected and Pain was

6:17

like 8 out of 10 and so I had

6:19

to go to I literally I do it at the ER and

6:21

get treatment antibiotics

6:24

and Painkillers, and

6:26

then I was just zonked out. I was

6:28

like pain was max And

6:30

I could not do anything but strangely After

6:33

the antibiotics and painkillers, I

6:36

thought I wasn't able to work today too because it was

6:38

so bad I woke up totally fine and I was like

6:40

wow so here I am I'm back shout out

6:42

to modern medicine medicine It's job. You got search

6:44

your president. Oh Yo, let's

6:46

get started. Here we go. Here's the first story

6:49

from SCNR comm Missouri AG sues

6:52

New York prosecutor Alvin Bragg over

6:54

Trump hush money case Quote

6:57

we have to fight back against a rogue prosecutor

6:59

who is trying to take a presidential candidate off

7:01

the campaign trail Attorney General

7:04

Andrew Bailey tweeted I will be filing suit

7:06

Against the state of New York for

7:08

their direct attack on our democratic process

7:10

through unconstitutional lawfare against President Trump It's

7:12

time to restore the rule of law

7:15

Bailey's lawsuit is the latest in a series

7:18

of actions by public officials seeking to address

7:20

apparent impropriety and the targeting of Trump for

7:22

criminal Prosecution this spring House

7:24

Judiciary Committee called New York's prosecution

7:26

of Trump an unprecedented abuse of

7:29

prosecutorial prosecutorial authority and a

7:31

politicized prosecution Bailey suggested

7:33

in a separate post that New York County

7:35

district attorney Alvin Bragg charged Trump in a

7:37

bid to negatively impact his odds Of reelection

7:40

in the 2024 election now,

7:43

it's a little it's it's the little things, right? This

7:45

is not criminal charges against Alvin Bragg, which I

7:47

think they should go for right away But

7:50

it's a start a civil a

7:52

civil. It's a constitutional lawsuit. I will take

7:54

it I'm glad someone in a right state

7:56

is fighting back. Well, it's gonna be Bailey

7:59

because he's the one who fights back again everything.

8:01

Yeah, we need more. He's tough. We need some,

8:03

yeah, we need, we need red

8:05

state prosecutors from across the country doing

8:07

stuff like this. It's, it's really egregious

8:10

to continue to see just the blue

8:12

states going after, you know, conservative pundits

8:14

and politicians. Why do you think that

8:16

red states AG's don't act? I

8:19

think, I think there is sort of a disconnect

8:21

going on. This is something I was talking to

8:23

Jack Pissop about recently. There's like this disconnect, this

8:26

idea that, you know, you have

8:28

to play by the rules, you have to

8:30

have very specific principles and he's always like

8:32

power without, you know, principles without power is

8:34

basically just totally useless, you know what I

8:36

mean? So I'm glad to see Bailey doing

8:39

this. I'm glad that Congress

8:41

is dragging Alvin Bragg in for

8:43

subpoena. I think it's stupid that

8:45

it's July 12th instead of prior

8:47

to, you know, the

8:49

former president being sentenced. I think

8:51

that's ridiculous. But yeah, more,

8:53

more red state prosecutors should be doing this. It's,

8:56

it's not reasonable that this is going on. And

8:58

this is something Charlie Kirk was talking about too.

9:01

It's the Democrats have a machine, not,

9:04

you know, the conservatives have a movement, but

9:06

the Democrats have a machine. And Andrew Bailey's interesting

9:08

because he really is active. I mean, he's gone

9:10

after Planned Parenthood. He's gone after a lot of

9:12

issues. I think he is someone who feels as

9:14

though he is representing the interest of his state

9:17

and the interest of the people who live there.

9:20

It seems like so often people are

9:22

afraid of losing office if they, if

9:24

they stand up for sort of conservative

9:26

values. Who's it going after IBM, Planned

9:28

Parenthood? Who else? He had

9:30

Biden. Yeah. The free speech stuff. Yeah. I mean, I

9:32

just feel like I see his name every couple months

9:34

being like, I'm taking action. I'm taking action. I did

9:36

feel its way about Patrick Morrissey in West Virginia. I

9:39

felt like he was really on the ball for a

9:41

while. But again, we didn't see any, any turn to

9:43

the Trump aspect of this. I think it is good

9:45

for them to prioritize what's going on in the state.

9:47

On the other hand, what,

9:49

what is happening as people go

9:51

after the president. So this morning we had

9:53

a very fun conversation on the Culture War

9:56

podcast over at Tended Media. And,

9:58

you know, normally we go two hours, but But

10:00

the third hour just went into it. Andrew Wilson

10:02

and I were fiercely debating the

10:05

prospect of social collapse,

10:09

decay, civil war, civil

10:11

strife, etc. And

10:14

I don't know how much was accomplished with the

10:16

arguments that were made, but the

10:18

arguments that I usually make are things

10:20

like this, interstate lawfare and

10:22

interstate conflict are indicative of the

10:24

breakdown of social order. I mean,

10:27

let's do the time travel test. I

10:29

love it. If you went back to

10:31

2017 and said in 2024, right before

10:33

the election, Missouri will be

10:35

suing New York for unconstitutional prosecution

10:38

of the presidential front runner, accusing

10:40

them of trying to stop him from

10:42

being able to win the election through

10:44

state level criminal action. Who would believe

10:46

you? Yeah, it's pretty wild. And now

10:49

it's happening. I mean, Trump is guilty, they

10:52

said, in New York. We

10:54

haven't even had the election yet, and we're already

10:57

getting interstate legal conflict. Well, and at the end

10:59

of the after the 2020 election, we had interstate

11:01

legal conflict, but the Supreme Court refused to take

11:03

it up when Texas teamed up

11:05

with some other states and sued Pennsylvania because

11:09

Pennsylvania wasn't following their

11:11

constitutional constitutionally written obligations

11:13

with regard to like, you know, how

11:15

voting should be conducted. And

11:18

the Supreme Court refused. Hey,

11:20

guys, Josh Hammer here, the host of America

11:22

on Trial with Josh Hammer, a podcast for

11:24

the first podcast network. Look, there

11:27

are a lot of shows out there that are

11:29

explaining the political news cycle, what's happening on the

11:31

hill, this to that. There are

11:33

no other shows that are cutting straight to

11:35

the point when it comes to the unprecedented

11:37

law fair debilitating and affecting the 2024 presidential

11:39

election. We

11:42

do all of that every single day right

11:44

here on America on Trial with Josh Hammer.

11:46

Subscribe and download your episodes wherever you get

11:48

your podcasts. It's America on Trial with Josh

11:50

Hammer. Take that up, which was lame.

11:53

Yes. So what's the end result

11:55

of things like this? If

11:57

there are, I'll put it this way. If no

11:59

one does anything. then fine.

12:02

You know like Andrew Wilson's premise was he

12:04

said Biden will get elected, Trump supporters

12:06

will grumble and do nothing, and

12:08

Democrats will expand their control and that and that will

12:11

be it. It'll be over. And

12:13

we had Richard Spencer on as well and he said that

12:16

he thinks it will be the last election. Yeah

12:18

I mean there's a there's a lot of that and it's

12:21

it definitely we are it does

12:23

feel like we're at this crisis moment and there are

12:25

so many clashes that are

12:27

looming ahead of us but

12:30

there's also the propensity of human beings to

12:32

want to be at the end

12:34

times to want to imagine that they are

12:37

at the most essential crux of history. So

12:39

are we at the most essential crux of history? I

12:42

don't know I mean I'm sure that the guys in

12:44

the trenches in World War One thought they were as

12:46

well. But they were. And they sure were. I mean

12:48

and there's a lot of arguments to be made about

12:50

whether we should or should or not should have or

12:53

should have not been involved in World War One but

12:56

as Norm McDonald put hey the good guys

12:58

have won every war. Now his point is

13:00

you know the people who win

13:03

will declare themselves the good guys but the

13:05

point is there's a resolution to a mass

13:07

conflict when those conflicts happen and at the time

13:09

it is the biggest problem. You

13:11

know if if there's

13:14

a hostage situation that's the most important thing

13:16

in the world to that community where it's

13:18

happening. Where it's happening but nobody notices for

13:20

example Darfur is about to explode again. Well

13:23

of course. And not paying any attention to. My

13:25

point is for the United States with

13:28

lawfare, criminal actions against the front-runner

13:30

for the presidency we are

13:32

in the most direct time. But let me

13:34

just stress this too I mean never before

13:36

has a president been found guilty of 34

13:39

felonies of a felony at all been put

13:41

on trial been threatened with prison in like

13:44

all of this is unprecedented. We

13:48

can we can entertain the idea that this is

13:50

the beginning of it becoming normal and

13:52

now every four years it is whoever's

13:55

in power arrests all their political opponents

13:57

but certainly the banana republic and that

13:59

leads We

22:00

are moving into a generation with

22:02

Boeing, with airplanes. We're seeing

22:04

all these stories about airplanes. A lot of people are like,

22:06

no, no, it's just the news reporting it. It's not real.

22:09

We're seeing crime. It's like, no, no, it's just because people

22:11

are sharing videos. It's not real. It is all real. We

22:14

are seeing stores close down because the shoplifting is

22:16

going crazy. We are seeing planes with engines burst

22:18

into flames. And when they say it's just because

22:20

it's being reported in the press, I've actually talked

22:23

to a ... I

22:25

shouldn't say talked to, but I've heard from a man. He

22:27

was telling a bunch of people this story

22:29

in public, hanging out, saying he used to

22:31

work for the airlines and they've started doing

22:34

removing safety features, switching

22:37

out how they used to maintain these planes and

22:40

keeping it kind of light. And

22:42

then we saw there was a story about an investigation into

22:45

counterfeit titanium being used in planes. Now

22:48

we're hearing they're saying that broken parts were

22:50

being put in planes. What's happening

22:52

is ... Yeah, that was crazy, the broken parts thing.

22:54

People don't know how these machines work, don't

22:56

care to learn how they work. And

22:59

the companies that are hiring people are going further

23:01

and further down the merit ladder to

23:03

find people based on race and identity instead.

23:06

And so we are going to end up as a

23:08

society where sooner or later people are just like, Brondo's

23:12

got what plants crave. So we're going to pour Gatorade

23:14

on our crops and then the crops die and they're

23:16

like, why did that happen? I wonder

23:18

why. I look at that with my house and there's a

23:20

broken thing on my porch and I was like, I need

23:22

to get someone to fix that. And I was like, no,

23:24

I was like, no, you got to figure out how to

23:26

fix that. So now I'm figuring

23:28

out how to fix the broken thing on my porch.

23:31

I think sometimes it comes down

23:33

to just old fashioned work ethic

23:36

sometimes too. Like when

23:38

we first ... Well, I'll just go

23:40

back to Rachel. When

23:42

we first started talking to

23:44

Rachel, we see a lot of people,

23:47

we see a lot of artists come in. But

23:50

Rachel, her dad told me this story. I don't even

23:52

know if you know that he told me this, but

23:55

she at 16, Rachel, had her own was

24:01

out playing, you know,

24:03

was out playing places making what most

24:05

people, more than what most people

24:07

make at a job when she was 16 to 17

24:10

years old, doing

24:12

it herself, getting her own band together.

24:14

You can't teach that, it's hard to

24:16

teach that. And then

24:18

you have people that are coming trying to

24:20

make it today that just are karaoke kings

24:23

and they just wanna show up and. Oh, it's

24:25

gonna be worse and that's gonna be AI. Yeah,

24:27

exactly. I don't know if, I

24:29

would say you can't teach it. It's just

24:31

the way you teach, it's not the same as the way you teach

24:34

math, you show it. Right. So if you get a

24:36

kid who grows up and they see someone

24:38

play a song, get paid either

24:40

tips or sell a CD, they're learning

24:42

how you do that and they will imitate that.

24:45

So it's not so much like going to someone saying, here's how you

24:47

do it, it's just in modern

24:49

society, parents are putting their kids in front of

24:51

iPads, TVs before that, computer

24:54

screens. And so the

24:56

kids aren't actually watching how functioning

24:58

adults build networks, build machines, generate

25:00

value, build wealth and survive. This

25:03

next generation growing up, it's

25:05

going to be wild. How many people are

25:07

already they are, but we're gonna start seeing

25:09

just how incapable they are

25:12

of basic tasks. Yeah, I think the

25:14

environment makes a big difference because we

25:17

used to have cultures that had kids

25:19

around people of multiple ages, right? Whether

25:21

it's slightly older children, maybe siblings that

25:23

are 10 years older to you, young

25:25

adults, parents, families were bigger and

25:27

everyone learns to model behavior that they see. Obviously

25:29

that could be problematic if you have a family

25:31

that's maybe dysfunctional, but also if you have an

25:34

ambitious cousin who's slightly older than you, you are learning

25:37

from them. If your parents are doing daily tasks in

25:39

a certain way, you're observing it.

25:41

But now we have kids in school for

25:43

large amount of the day so their parents

25:45

can both work different jobs in different places,

25:47

totally separate. Kids are with kids of their

25:49

own age and they kind of only socialize

25:52

in that very, very insular environment

25:54

with maybe a teacher who they have

25:57

around but doesn't necessarily model

25:59

social. always. It's a challenge that we

26:01

are we have created and also will not give

26:03

up. I do want to give a shout out

26:06

to Revan's Padawan Super Chat. He said, Tim, the

26:08

Star Trek episode with the AI isn't applicable, applicable

26:11

able as the episode with the

26:14

hypnotic game. Another episode. Yeah,

26:16

that's a really good game too. I was thinking about that

26:18

game the other day. Let me explain it. So on the

26:20

show, there's this headset that people get

26:22

and it's an augmented reality game. And this is

26:24

a show from 89 by the way, 99. And

26:26

so this early, early nineties when

26:29

the episode comes out, you put the headset on and

26:31

you can see a game where you're trying to throw

26:33

a disc into a hole. And then

26:35

it triggers a dopamine release that makes you high in the

26:38

show. The actual story is that it's

26:40

used to mind control you. But

26:43

it's amazing how they nailed that well before. I

26:45

mean, I think this came out at the same

26:47

time as Super Nintendo. They

26:49

didn't realize we were actually going to have Apple Vision

26:51

Pro glued to our heads and we

26:54

are going to have people wanting the neural link

26:56

to go into the matrix and more than just

26:58

one game. I mean, that was just one game

27:00

where you breathe in and little disc goes in

27:02

the thing. Now we have five bazillion games that

27:04

all do that. All triggering your dopamine and the

27:06

worst game of them all is Instagram and TikTok.

27:09

Because it's designed to make you want to scroll

27:11

endlessly forever. The other thing too about it is

27:14

like, it's sort of, uh, when

27:16

you spend all your time online and doing social

27:18

media, it's like your life is just good enough

27:20

so that you don't question it. It's

27:22

not that bad. It's not good,

27:25

but you're just like, man, it's okay. You just

27:27

kind of like drag along to the next day

27:29

without really a lot of concern that you're not

27:32

living up to anything worthwhile. You know, it's really

27:34

sad. What? It's sad that 200 years

27:37

ago, a woman would

27:39

walk into the barn and churn butter

27:42

and be very happy and satisfied. And the man would

27:44

go out and chop wood and then be like, Oh,

27:46

I got a little extra done. Check it out. We

27:48

got 32 today. And she'll be like, Oh, wow, you

27:50

got some extra. And be like, yeah, this is great.

27:53

They'd be very happy about that. That actually sounds kind

27:55

of great. Yeah. But it's like

27:58

by today's standard, it seems so quaint. to be like,

28:00

so you chopped wood, so what, but back in the

28:02

day that was like, I got the job done. And

28:04

it's like, well, I got the butter and it's like,

28:06

let's eat. And they were happy

28:08

to live those lives. They were accomplished. They felt good

28:10

by doing it. Now, every

28:13

single millennial, I'm exaggerating, but many millennials and Gen

28:15

Z, they want to be famous. They have to

28:17

be famous. They have to make half a million

28:20

dollars. That's actually, that's the millennial number where they

28:22

say, in order to be happy, they need half

28:24

a million dollars a year and they got to

28:26

be influencers. Yeah, that just seems crazy.

28:28

Also, being an influencer seems like it sucks. That

28:31

doesn't seem like a great job. I do like a

28:33

fair bit of social media stuff.

28:36

And like being beholden to that seems

28:38

like it would be just a nightmare.

28:40

A lot of days I'm like, I'm

28:42

just happy. I'm just gonna go do

28:44

my job. Selling supplements. Yeah, sometimes I

28:46

think influencer culture, again, because we're a

28:48

less religious society, means

28:51

that for a lot of people,

28:53

that's the only way to feel valued, right? That's the

28:55

only way to feel like you have any kind of

28:57

moral platform, that people will remember you. There's sort of

28:59

this race to be a part of something

29:01

and to be seen by so many people

29:03

so that you stay relevant. Whereas when we

29:05

lived in a less mobile society, meaning people

29:08

didn't travel the way we could, we didn't

29:10

necessarily see as many faces because social media

29:12

wasn't around, to be important

29:14

in your community, you'd have to actually go out

29:16

and do things and be engaged. I

29:18

know there are a lot of influencers who have careers

29:20

and things that they're passionate about, but the

29:23

fact that so many young people say that's their number

29:25

one goal, I don't think

29:27

it's about, oh, I really love doing this.

29:29

It's about filling a hole that they

29:31

have because they're sort of looking for meaning in a

29:34

world where they feel like they're gonna be forgotten. Yeah,

29:37

there isn't a lot of meaning because people

29:39

don't know where to find it. Yep. Right,

29:42

the meaning is coming

29:44

from the people out there on the

29:46

phone. There's no

29:48

alone time. You don't

29:51

have to actually be alone with your feelings

29:53

and actually work something out.

29:56

You can be distracted by it. That's why I think it's so

29:59

good that there's like, new culture being

30:01

made. So much of what we see is

30:03

completely regurgitated. You guys are out here making

30:05

new music. Tim, you're making new music and

30:07

new culture. I have so much respect for

30:09

that. I think that's what we really need.

30:11

I think there's more meaning to be found

30:13

in art and creation. It's

30:16

pretty scary actually. Culturally, a

30:18

lot of things are collapsing. And

30:21

I don't know what happens after

30:23

that. I think someone's phone might be near their microphone,

30:25

by the way, or something, because we're hearing

30:28

that. But we're

30:30

working on a bunch of skateboard stuff. Here

30:32

at the Boonies HQ, we just finished the new

30:35

mini ramp. It was awesome. Got to throw

30:37

a little trick on there. Here's the

30:39

crazy thing. The skateboard industry, which is a multi-billion dollar industry,

30:41

it's in the Olympics, is dying. Really?

30:44

It's dying. There's a ton of professional athletes

30:46

in skateboarding. They're broke now. They've lost their

30:48

jobs. You look at video games.

30:51

People have pointed this out. The

30:54

new video games flop. Nobody wants to play them.

30:56

They're playing the same few, but they're playing games from a long

30:58

time ago. GTA 5, GTA became an online

31:01

game and then everyone kind of stopped where they were.

31:04

We are seeing serious and

31:06

exponential cultural stagnation. And

31:09

it's kind of terrifying. Culture informs.

31:13

It informs our laws, our decisions, our politics.

31:15

And we are seeing, look at

31:19

Star Wars, what is it called, the Ecolider, whatever?

31:21

Yeah, it's terrible. Yeah, it's just maybe,

31:24

I don't know what it is, they're trying to

31:26

make a culture. It seems like they're just

31:28

ripping it to shreds and burning it to the ground. Yeah,

31:31

they don't care about it. They care

31:33

about it in as much as they

31:35

can use cultural vehicles to create propaganda

31:37

and to spread propaganda. That's why we

31:40

saw the first use of preferred pronouns

31:42

in space. That's why they

31:44

talk about how it's the gayest Star Wars ever.

31:46

Space. I haven't seen it yet,

31:49

but I don't want to. And there's

31:51

a fire in space. Yeah, that makes so

31:53

much sense. Of course.

31:55

There's no oxygen in space. So there

31:57

can be fire inside spaceships where there's

31:59

oxygen. and the chemical reaction can happen

32:01

with a fuel source of some sort. But they had

32:04

a scene where they're in space and the woman steps

32:06

out and the engine's on fire and it's crackling. You're

32:09

just being a man using science to oppress women's

32:11

creativity. And I think that they don't like that.

32:13

The comment was, this is what happens when you

32:15

get rid of mansplaining. Ha

32:17

ha. It is wild

32:19

that they were like, we don't have to obey

32:22

the rules of science. This is how important our

32:24

work of quote unquote art is. Space magic. Well,

32:27

let's jump to this story because this story

32:29

may be somewhat related to the decline of

32:31

the United States. Trump wants to issue green

32:33

cards to foreign students who graduate college from

32:35

SCNR. The proposal drew criticism from Rep. Thomas

32:38

Massey, Laura Loomer and Steve Bannon. Whoa, whoa,

32:40

whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on, Laura Loomer. I

32:42

don't believe that. Where is it? She

32:45

said, I love President Trump, but I don't agree that

32:47

you can get a green card if you graduate from

32:49

an American college. Millions of illegals here in America are

32:51

on overstayed visas and green cards. She

32:53

goes on to say, it's loading. Giving

32:56

green cards to college graduates from foreign nations is

32:58

a policy that the base opposes. How

33:00

can we trust that any vetting of foreigners on

33:02

campuses would be done adequately when vetting in other

33:05

areas like personnel has failed? It's

33:07

no shocker that billionaires in big tech approve of

33:09

importing immigrants to fulfill jobs in tech. I'm sure

33:11

that big tech billionaires think the the Indians in

33:13

the call centers who handle our customer service and

33:15

don't speak English are brilliant, too. They

33:18

aren't, though. These foreigners just take jobs away

33:20

from Americans. And it's also why big tech was able to

33:22

get away with stealing the election in 2020, as I wrote

33:24

about in my book. She wasn't a

33:26

mention that many of the employees at big tech are

33:29

foreigners. As big tech is no friend to MAGA. No

33:31

more visas till every single illegal alien is deported.

33:34

I got to tell you, when Laura Loomer comes

33:36

out in disagreement with Trump, that's a policy Trump. I

33:38

mean, she is the tip of the spear for Trump's

33:40

base. No one is a bigger supporter. And if she's

33:43

coming out strongly against it now, I got to say,

33:45

I actually agree with Donald Trump. Yeah. On

33:47

the surface, on the surface. But let's let's argue it and we'll

33:49

get into the nuance. Well,

33:52

I don't agree with it. But if you guys

33:54

want to stay your. Go ahead. Go ahead, Claire.

33:56

I mean, I think in large part, Laura's right.

33:58

I think the policy of saying. that if you

34:00

come to America, you know, great, get

34:02

your education and we'll also let you stay here is

34:05

harmful to both America and to the countries that

34:07

students are coming from. If you have a student

34:09

that is looking to be ambitious, to get an

34:11

education and to potentially develop skills

34:13

in a career, I think it's also important that we

34:16

don't siphon off the potential middle class of a country

34:18

that could then fall into economic collapse and become more

34:20

dependent on America. But why also- But why are we

34:22

spending money on their education in the first place? I

34:24

would be happy to not accept as many foreign students,

34:26

but that's not the question that we have here. I

34:30

think with green cards in particular, I think it's

34:33

accurate to say that the students

34:35

that are competing that come to

34:37

America for education, maybe it'd

34:39

be good to help them build their economy

34:41

if they return home with this education, maybe

34:43

they don't have access to it. But when

34:45

they are now competing in the job market,

34:47

I think that's a disadvantage to Americans, that

34:49

is not fair. I also agree that ultimately

34:51

it's very easy to stay in America on

34:53

an expired visa. I think we should move

34:56

towards a net zero migration policy. And so

34:58

it's hard for me to sign off on

35:00

a green card policy when

35:02

ultimately we have unchecked immigration. I think we

35:04

have to address illegal immigration first, but we

35:06

have to address the fact that if

35:09

you're a green card holder, you ultimately

35:11

get a path citizenship, and we have

35:13

never addressed the consequences of chain migration.

35:15

So it's just continuing to feed into

35:18

an already unstable system. And

35:20

I just don't think that we should use it as

35:22

an election bargaining chip at this point. The question is

35:24

how many first? How

35:27

many Trump? How

35:29

many? How many? You would say zero. You would

35:31

have said none of them. Zero, probably. I mean,

35:33

there is probably a very, very small I would

35:35

compromise on, but I think you have to leap

35:37

a zero. I

35:40

don't know. So

35:42

here's the issue I see. You've got individuals in

35:44

many different nations who desperately want to come to America

35:46

because we're the best. That's why everybody wants to be

35:48

here. We don't need

35:50

to compete when we can brain drain the

35:53

other countries. The question, however, is there

35:55

is an upper limit that I think would probably be

35:57

smaller than the average person be willing to accept. agree

36:00

with Trump on this one, it's only because Trump

36:02

didn't really specify anything. He said, we should give

36:04

green cards to people graduate college. I'm like, okay,

36:07

a thousand maybe, because then the goal is you

36:09

make it extremely, extremely difficult. You

36:11

hit up Japan, India, Russia, any

36:14

country, and say only the

36:16

top 10 of your country

36:18

will ever be allowed in American university.

36:21

And then we get their best scientists.

36:23

We get the best of their researchers.

36:25

And then they can come

36:27

here, come to our colleges, it would

36:29

represent .0001% of our education

36:32

base. But then we don't have to compete with people

36:34

when they want to be here. We basically buy them

36:37

out. What if the top 10% just come here

36:39

and end up in woke indoctrination centers,

36:44

and then we just end up with a bunch of woke immigrants?

36:46

And that's another issue that isn't actually, and that doesn't

36:48

actually argue Trump's

36:53

point. So when Trump says this,

36:55

and he says, I actually think we should give

36:57

green cards with college degrees, my

36:59

thought was that statement alone isn't enough for

37:01

me to say Trump is wrong because it's

37:03

too vague. The question first is

37:06

how many? The second question is will there

37:08

be reform first? Or what degrees, right?

37:10

Because a lot of institutions in

37:12

America, especially smaller private universities, need a certain

37:14

amount of foreign students who can pay complete

37:16

full cash tuition. They don't have to offer

37:18

financial aid to to be able to stay

37:20

alive. You've seen so many colleges shutter over

37:22

the last couple years. This also happens with

37:24

private high schools, too. But you'll see

37:27

towards the end, when there's a financial problem, you'll

37:29

see the increase in the enrollment of foreign students

37:32

in in large part because they are

37:34

relying them on maybe their money shut down. Yes,

37:36

Trump said this. So we got to reform

37:38

the colleges first. But on

37:40

the surface, I don't think the blanket statement

37:42

is incorrect. It just requires a lot of

37:44

caveats. Trump said, we bring these people, they

37:47

come into this country, they go to our

37:49

universities, and then they leave and become billionaires.

37:51

They become millionaires and billionaires in their country

37:53

producing products that we could have had control

37:55

of. And I'm like, yes, I would much

37:57

prefer that. I don't want World War. I

38:00

don't want US empirical

38:02

hegemonic power. We don't need that.

38:05

Trump is the businessman. We secure our

38:07

borders, we bring our jobs back, and then we

38:09

brain drain our adversaries across the world. So

38:12

if they want the flying car, we're the only one who

38:14

makes it. Why? The

38:16

better America becomes, the more the smartest people from

38:18

insert country want to be here instead and that

38:20

will make it impossible for anyone to compete. They'll

38:22

have to come here and then we get it.

38:26

That can push back war. That

38:28

can give America international dominance.

38:30

It can create even petrodollar

38:32

dominance without combat conflict or

38:34

drone strikes. So in

38:37

order to get there, Bannon,

38:39

Loomer and Massey are critical of it because

38:41

right now you can't do it. No, you don't.

38:44

Universities are broken. They're woke. We

38:46

don't want to bring those people in on that. However, I

38:48

would say you reform it. You set an

38:50

upper limit of maybe a thousand, maybe it's 10,000. We're

38:53

talking about like 200 to 500,000 people. 10,000,

38:55

not that big a deal. It's got to

38:58

be extremely difficult. The waiting list is going to be

39:00

20 years and we only go

39:02

for the highest income earners. And then, as you

39:04

mentioned, which degrees is it going to be? I

39:06

was going to say, no green cards for gender

39:08

studies. No thank you. And then no

39:12

remittance allowed and

39:14

limits on chain migration. It can work if

39:16

basically what we're saying is we don't want

39:18

to give a dude who's going to invent

39:20

the next flying car. We don't

39:22

want to give that away. My thing is just our

39:25

immigration system is really broken. And so

39:27

I don't think we should promise potential

39:29

path to citizenship towards our permanent residency.

39:31

Whatever. But if you get permanent residency,

39:33

then you can move on to it. I mean, ultimately there are

39:35

all kinds of doors open when you have the green card. But

39:38

I just don't think that we should open

39:41

this door until we have sealed the windows and

39:43

you know, short up our foundation, so to speak.

39:45

I think we have enough issues and I don't

39:47

know that it would even benefit people who come

39:49

here on a green card if we continue to

39:51

have a country that's going into crisis because we

39:53

cannot keep track of how much money we are.

39:56

Did you guys see how Alvin Bragg, who prosecuted

39:58

Trump for 34 times, have... in

40:00

voices and checks. He

40:03

dropped all charges against all the agitators at Columbia

40:05

who broke in and did graffiti and were violent

40:07

and all that stuff. All of those people, no

40:09

charges. Because the system is completely broken. Yeah, it's

40:11

completely broken, which is why I don't think there

40:14

should be any kind of promises regardless of how

40:16

many caveats we could come up with. I

40:18

gotta just go back to what we were talking about a little moment

40:20

ago because I had this big debate on

40:23

the culture war about social order decay and breakdown

40:25

and I'm just like, for the life of

40:27

me, I cannot grasp how someone could

40:30

be aware of what's going on in this country over

40:32

the past 10 years and think

40:34

we are not on a crash course with

40:36

collapse. Because you go

40:38

back eight years and

40:40

the things I was saying,

40:42

people were like, you're crazy. I'm like, I

40:44

read an article that says civil war is possible in the United States. I'm

40:46

like, yeah, it's nuts, that'll never happen. Then

40:48

we had Charlottesville. No, that

40:51

was a riot, that's no big deal, okay. Then

40:53

you had the summer of love riots. 2020

40:56

George Floyd. Then you had jazz chop.

40:58

Which were really the COVID riots. Absolutely.

41:01

You had draconian lockdowns, forced

41:03

medication. You had far

41:05

leftist taking over cities and I'm like, that

41:08

escalated without resolution. Then

41:11

you got January 6th because people wanted resolution to

41:13

the crisis that we saw in summer and didn't

41:15

get it. And now it's

41:18

still happening. Now they're trying to lock Trump up. And we're

41:20

still waiting for the Fisher decision which would really, if the

41:23

Supreme Court ruled in favor, would

41:26

vacate a lot of those. The

41:28

immunity question? No, the Fisher. Which one

41:30

is that one? So with, it's

41:33

a January 6th case. Oh, right, right,

41:35

right. The obstruction, right? It basically says,

41:37

yeah, can you use the congressional obstruction

41:40

thing against protesters? And if they just

41:42

issued their ruling on presidential

41:44

immunity and obstruction, we

41:47

would actually be able to move forward quite. We can't, they're

41:49

holding onto it. And it's gonna be what, we have decision

41:51

days, what, Wednesday and Thursday next week? Yeah, it's gonna be

41:53

an October surprise or something. But looking at all this. I

41:55

have to release it this term. It'll come next week. You

41:58

have to release it this term. next week, but it'll

42:00

be, I bet it'll be Thursday, you know, the way

42:03

it's gonna be the end. We'll see as soon as

42:05

they start putting up the fencing around the court. It's

42:07

like the Roe decision, right? The Roe decision came on

42:09

the very last day. And we knew it was, and

42:11

at that point, we knew it was coming, you know?

42:13

I mean, and there's a lot of really fascinating cases

42:15

too, that are still yet to be decided. You

42:18

know, Missouri, the Free Speech one, the Bailey case, Chevron

42:21

is interesting, you know, the going

42:25

again, against on the Chevron case is interesting,

42:27

so. So I don't see how when

42:30

you look at all of this over the past eight years, where

42:33

it's just escalated nonstop, to

42:35

the point where we're now looking at the man

42:37

who is the front runner to win, the favorite

42:39

in the polls, the favorite in the fundraising, the

42:42

celebrity superstar is facing prison time in numerous

42:44

jurisdictions at the federal level and the state

42:47

level, and people are saying,

42:49

no, no, everything's fine and this is normal. I'm

42:51

just like, man, at a certain point, you have

42:53

to be like, something weird has happened to this

42:55

country. I think something weird is happening. And I

42:58

do think that it's not the country we, you

43:00

know, it certainly seems far different from the country that

43:02

I grew up in. What is

43:04

weird? Can we describe

43:07

what the weird thing is or is it

43:09

too ambiguous to be? Well, one thing that's

43:11

weird is how if you are on the

43:13

opposite political side as someone else, you

43:16

can't have a conversation with them. You can't

43:18

be friends, you can't be married. Like there's

43:20

all this stuff. I mean, when I was

43:22

a kid, my stepmom was a Democrat and

43:25

my dad was a Republican and they argued

43:27

about what was it like, Walter Mondale and

43:30

Ronald Reagan at the dinner table and they

43:32

would get rather heated. And then, you know,

43:34

they would drink a gallon

43:37

jug of Ernest and Julio Gallo

43:39

or whatever, and like watch comedy

43:41

shows and go

43:44

on their merry way or whatever it was that they did.

43:46

I ignored them. But you know, you

43:48

used to be able to do that. You know, my grandfather

43:50

would be of one opinion, my

43:52

mom would have a different opinion. They would argue and

43:54

then we'd have dinner. And now it's like, if you

43:56

disagree with your parents, you're supposed to go no contact

43:59

and never speak. to them again. If your

44:01

best friend is like, you know, dating a Republican, you're

44:03

not supposed to talk to her and you're supposed to

44:05

tell her to break up with that guy. You know,

44:08

there's like all of this kind of stuff that's very

44:10

different from when I was a kid. There's

44:13

also this thing where we used

44:15

to have cultural similarities. When

44:17

I was a kid, we'd all watch the same shows

44:20

on Thursday night. Like it was the Cosby

44:22

show. We all watched the Cosby show, you

44:24

know, like come into school, everyone had watched

44:26

the same thing. You'd all talk about, you

44:28

know, what did you guys have for dinner

44:30

last night? Because for the most part, we

44:32

all sat there at a dinner table with

44:35

whatever was left of our families and like

44:37

eight together. You know what I mean? And

44:39

that kind of stuff is very different. And

44:41

I think that there's a lot more cultural

44:44

fragmentation. So there's a lot of things that

44:47

are very different. No one really

44:49

goes to work anymore, you know, at a

44:51

certain economic level. It's definitely a

44:53

pulling apart. It's amazing to think that, you

44:55

know, you can't compromise with your friend who

44:57

thinks about anything differently than you politically. We

45:00

talked at a poll somewhat recently. Back

45:03

in the day, parents, you know, if you

45:05

were Catholic or religious, whatever you wanted, you would

45:07

rather have your child marry someone of a different

45:10

political party than of a different religion. And now

45:12

that's not the case at all. Now there's no

45:14

religion. And we also have a weird homogenization, right?

45:16

It used to be that if you went to

45:18

different parts of the country, people had different accents.

45:21

And that's different now, too. It's like no matter where you

45:23

go in the country, everyone kind of talks the same. There's

45:25

a lot of the same slang. And buys the same stuff.

45:27

We go to the same fast food places because they're kind

45:29

of everywhere. There's nothing. There

45:31

used to be regional differences. You'd go to the

45:34

Grand Canyon and you'd find something, you know, some

45:36

kind of food you never ate before, you know,

45:38

and other than prairie oysters, it's not really,

45:40

there's not that many differences. And

45:43

I think that is a problem right there

45:45

that I see is it's okay to be

45:47

different. It's, it

45:49

always kills me. And the, everything

45:51

has gotten so visceral. Everything

45:54

is just, you know, I

45:56

have friends that I've known for 20 years. I've

45:59

been in the business. with for 20 years, just

46:02

no contact because of

46:04

the last few years. And

46:08

it's gotten to where,

46:10

especially if you lean

46:12

anywhere near the right, it's

46:14

kind of terrible

46:16

what is happening. And

46:20

if you say anything, they automatically get

46:22

personal. And I think

46:24

that's different. I don't think we

46:27

used to get so personal when it

46:29

comes to politics or anything like that.

46:32

But now it's name calling. And

46:35

I think people are out there in America saying,

46:39

why are we doing this? And why is it one

46:41

side? Yeah. Yeah.

46:43

Exactly. You all can hear me

46:45

now? Yeah. Cool. You

46:48

are? Yeah. I

46:50

was like waiting. But anyway, yeah, no, it's weird. I feel like, has it been

46:52

the media, do you think? Yeah, in the form of like

46:56

clinging to the last, their death now

46:58

is like we put Trump on trial,

47:00

we've done all these things. And they're

47:02

kind of, are they using

47:04

this political stuff as like

47:06

a way to keep people watching? And

47:08

also is that stuff making people hyper

47:11

polarized? Yes. So

47:13

I think it's a combination of factors.

47:16

One of which is, a

47:19

lot of people think MSNBC, for instance, is intentionally

47:21

just Democrat. But

47:24

not it is, but it is in that they

47:26

started looking at their viewership. They

47:29

did A.B. testing. CNN did the same thing.

47:31

Jeff Zucker comes in and says, guys, when

47:34

we have a panel talking Trump, ratings spike.

47:37

When we talk flat news, no ratings.

47:40

Look at MH370 when that happened. CNN

47:42

went nuts. They were sitting

47:45

in a big old, well, I'll keep it family friendly. They were

47:47

sitting around a table patting each other on the back about

47:49

how good they were and how awesome the story was. And

47:51

everybody wanted to watch. And then it

47:53

eventually ended. They have nothing. Trump

47:56

gave them this endless cycle where they're thinking

47:58

like, wow, we're getting ratings. money, keep going,

48:00

keep going, keep, but you can't keep going.

48:03

What ends up happening is some

48:05

once-respected news outlet writes, Donald

48:07

Trump said a racist thing. And

48:10

then they get a million hits. Then the next

48:12

day they're like, well, we can't write the same

48:14

article, but that one did really well. I know.

48:17

Let's just say he's racist and we'll compile things

48:19

he said that we think are racist. Headline, Trump

48:21

is a racist. That got a

48:23

million views. Okay, well, we can't just call

48:25

him a racist. Ooh, what if he's like

48:27

the worst racist? He's like the worst we've

48:29

ever seen. What if he's a misogynist and

48:32

a racist? What if he's a rapist because

48:34

of some random thing in Bergdorf Goodman with

48:36

an unspecified intersection? Well before that, that's the

48:38

politics and the law fair of it. What

48:40

I'm saying is in the media, in order

48:42

to keep writing the same thing that's AB

48:44

tested pot, it's proven it's going

48:46

to get hits. They can't run

48:48

the same story twice. So they keep adding

48:50

to it. And Trump's at a

48:53

racist thing, turns into Trump is a racist, turns

48:55

in, he's the most racist guy we've ever seen

48:57

to. I can't believe our president is racist. Our

48:59

president is a white supremacist. Our president's praising neo-Nazis.

49:01

Our president is as bad as Hitler. Our president

49:04

is Hitler. Our president is worse than Hitler. That's

49:06

where we're at with how the media attacks

49:09

Trump. Because the media can make money off

49:11

of fear mongering and the Democrats can use

49:13

compliance. But you overdose.

49:16

The media injects and injects and keeps

49:18

upping the dosage until finally people go

49:21

numb and they just OD

49:23

on Donald Trump is Hitler and doesn't work

49:25

anymore. It reminds me of when you have

49:27

a show that you like the first couple

49:29

of seasons are good. And then by the

49:31

seventh seasons, it's just off the rails. Every

49:34

character's plot, like character arc is totally messed

49:36

up and everyone's interdated. It's very horrible and

49:38

whatever. Like it went so far that

49:40

they kind of ran out of scene, but they cannot

49:42

end the show. Jumping the shark. That's what it's called.

49:44

Yeah, I mean, because the fans jumped over. I was

49:47

going to say it was the fall. Yeah, I think

49:50

you're right. I think we're on the

49:52

precipice of, of, of that peak of

49:54

people. Cause you know, you see, there's

49:56

a lot of Democrats now coming back,

49:58

say, saying, well, now wait. a minute.

50:00

This is kind of getting crazy here.

50:02

And now we're, the boomerang

50:04

is coming back to Trump. And

50:07

there's a lot of people that you would

50:09

never think would make

50:12

that switch. You have, you know, Democrats turning,

50:14

turning the other way now and getting on

50:16

the other side. And I think that's why

50:18

is because they went too far. I have

50:20

a correction. It was on skis, not a

50:22

motorcycle. The Fonz jumped over

50:25

a shark on skis. Water

50:27

skis. Water skis. And it's called... It's not more relevant to

50:29

the situation. It was on a boat. It was like a pool

50:31

of water. They've run out of things to have

50:33

these characters do. So The Simpsons

50:35

ended, I think, on like the end of season

50:38

nine. I guess everyone says the end of The

50:40

Simpsons was when people found out that Principal Skinner

50:42

was named Armin Tamzerian. Yeah, right. He's

50:45

the principal. He lives with his mom. And then one day they

50:47

were like, let's just make it like he's a different guy, I

50:49

guess. It's like we got nothing left to write about. See

50:52

the opposite... Now Grandpa Simpson is gay

50:54

and Bart hates feminists. The

50:56

opposite of this is Law and Order SVU, which

50:59

I think is on season 45, if I'm not

51:01

mistaken. It's gone on for so long. But also

51:03

now you can predict everything they're going to say.

51:06

But do you know why SVU, all of them have been

51:08

able to last so long? Because they're just based off of

51:10

criminal records. You don't need writers to be like, what did

51:12

he do now? When you could just be like pull up

51:14

the records, let's get a story. But now

51:17

back in the day, all kinds of different

51:19

plot points, it maybe was kind of crazy, maybe not

51:21

super accurate law enforcement. But now I bet every time

51:23

you watch the show, you know exactly who's going to

51:25

be the criminal because it has gotten so woke. Like

51:27

you adopted the plot points that everyone else has. It's

51:29

the white guy. Every several times. There was some show,

51:31

I think it was 24. I remember one Christmas, my

51:36

family's all together, I was back in college. And my brother's like,

51:39

oh, watch this crime show with me. And my son and I

51:41

were watching it. And after the first two

51:43

episodes, we were like, we were just playing this game. I

51:45

bet it's the white guy. And it was every time he

51:47

shut it off because he's like ruining the show. But it

51:49

was. Look, you're not allowed to be the

51:51

person. Y'all need to watch that show

51:53

Evil on CBS because the bad

51:56

guy. So like the good guys are Catholics,

51:58

but they're like it's an it's an interracial.

52:00

racial group of mystery-solving assessors, they call

52:02

them, for the Catholic Church. It is

52:04

funny that they're Catholic. But the bad

52:06

guy is this white, stodgy, academic guy

52:08

with glasses, and he grooms

52:10

a mass shooter by telling him he's gotta be a

52:12

man and he hates women and women are bad. He

52:15

tells him, this is your red pill moment. He

52:17

tells him to go on 4chan, and it's like... I

52:20

wonder who that writing room is voting for.

52:23

That's right, and then I mentioned this in the culture

52:25

where it was really funny. The

52:27

episode I'm watching, because there's four seasons of it, on

52:29

season three, one of the main characters is a woman,

52:31

she has four kids, and she's telling her daughters, basically

52:34

saying, don't lie to me. So she's

52:36

like, I'm gonna write down the 10 commandments of the family. And

52:38

the number one is, thou shalt not lie to mom. And

52:41

then one girl goes, can we lie to other people? And she

52:43

goes, no. And then one girl

52:45

goes, but what if it's like we're hiding

52:47

Jews with Hitler or immigrants with Trump? And

52:49

then she's like, those are good points, but

52:51

we'll talk about that later. And I'm like,

52:54

comparing hiding immigrants, Trump

52:58

is like Hitler to the Jews. That's what they

53:00

did on CBS. I just saw this clip from

53:03

the medical show, New Amsterdam. I saw that too. Yes,

53:05

where the guy is like, I've been talking to your

53:07

son, where else my mom is like so confused. And

53:09

he's like, you know, he's feeling all this pressure and

53:11

nothing or whatever. Your son's

53:13

cancer was caused by racism. By internalized racism.

53:15

Wait, what? I'm not even kidding, I will

53:18

send you the link. It's the most ridiculous

53:20

thing. And they presented

53:22

this like, this is a serious, you know,

53:24

sitcom medical show. Acolyte star who put out

53:26

her little diss track on Instagram was talking

53:28

about how she wasn't going to let herself

53:31

be one of the people that gets sick

53:33

from being oppressed. It's like, how are you,

53:35

you have Disney salary, you were in the

53:37

Hunger Games, you know, you make all

53:39

this money. I do not think you are. She can get

53:41

sick from being oppressed and from being an oppressor. Yeah. Both

53:44

of them, you get cancer. And she's out there

53:46

like doing a little dance and stuff. Like

53:49

in like, I spice. Oh, well, I'm

53:51

glad that she's so oppressed that she can

53:53

do that with her audience. Exactly. And

53:55

she's able to dance around the streets of New

53:57

York and nothing bad happened to her for the

54:00

whole time she was. shooting the video classic oppressed

54:02

woman somebody disabled couldn't do that well

54:04

this is this is the thing about the

54:06

press harder I think you're correct yeah was

54:08

people to the privileged anything

54:11

everything was like oppression if you if you are on top

54:13

of the mountain you can only go down but if you

54:16

are at the North Pole it is all south from there

54:18

that was the point that was the point of critical race

54:20

theory and that was the point of woke the entire point

54:22

was to demand that everyone wear

54:24

racism colored glasses so that you see

54:26

racism and oppression every single place that

54:28

you look and that's all that they

54:30

see wealthy American

54:33

liberals with moderate to high

54:35

incomes in big cities complaining that they're being

54:37

oppressed and then they make the

54:39

argument they actually make the argument that Oprah

54:42

Winfrey is more oppressed than a white homeless

54:44

veteran begging for change yeah that's their world

54:46

she's oppressed by the diet industry because she

54:48

has always felt so bad about her weight

54:50

and it's always been such a you know

54:53

such a noose around the neck for her

54:55

like albatross that's the word I'm looking for

54:57

it's been an albatross I heard about this

54:59

term called fat

55:02

liberation and it was someone arguing

55:04

that that being fat is just like any

55:06

other disability and if you exclude them from

55:08

the ableism movement then you're you're actually was

55:10

the dove person right didn't she like talking

55:12

about oh I heard about this on a

55:14

podcast and I'm thinking like no

55:17

I don't think that you are having

55:19

the same problems as like people who live

55:21

in major cities that cannot accommodate that are

55:23

dependent on subway transportation like New York City

55:25

but there are very few elevator shafts where

55:27

you can get your wheelchair down like I

55:29

don't think you're on their level of needing

55:32

the society to pay attention to something that might make it

55:34

a you able to live there yours

55:38

is maybe somewhat self-inflicted I would argue

55:40

but who knows you know you were

55:42

saying something earlier too about you know

55:44

about how people are kind of addicted

55:46

to attention online do you

55:48

think that's feeding into it as well as

55:50

far as the political stuff because

55:53

you know it like you said if you

55:55

say something about Trump you know

55:57

you're gonna get more views if you say something

55:59

that that is, you

56:01

know, that's, that

56:03

this is oppressive when everybody knows it isn't,

56:06

it's gonna get more views and it all

56:08

kind of goes into the same tank,

56:11

if you think about it. It's going

56:13

into the attention tank. Well,

56:16

also Trump broke everybody, right? I remember it

56:18

was like the day after the election and

56:20

I was in like a

56:22

fairway market, which is Woker than Whole

56:25

Foods in Brooklyn, and people

56:27

were crying, you know? And

56:30

you know how the music plays at the

56:32

grocery store, so Sweet Home Alabama was playing,

56:34

and this older white lady walks up to

56:36

a, you know, staff

56:38

person who like had a hijab on or something and

56:40

was like, don't you think this is in poor taste?

56:42

Can we turn this off? Oh,

56:45

are you kidding? I'm not kidding, that really

56:47

happened. This is, this is Fahrenheit 451. Yeah.

56:49

Oh my god. Yeah. Everything is offensive. I

56:52

think it's funny because I read a story about how Ray Bradbury

56:54

was giving like a college lecture or something,

56:57

and they were talking about Fahrenheit 451 and

56:59

the question of like, what

57:01

is it about? And when he explained that

57:03

it's about how when everyone is offended, the

57:06

censors have to censor everything, the students argued with

57:08

them saying, no, it's about government censorship. And they're

57:10

like, what? No, it's about how there's

57:13

a passage in it where it's like, if you insulted

57:15

a cat, you offended cat owners, so you couldn't say that.

57:17

And if you, if you, until the dogs, dog owners got

57:19

mad. And if you said anything about the trade unionists, the

57:21

unions got mad. So you couldn't say that. So everything must

57:23

be shut down because everyone's pissed off all the time. That's

57:26

where we're basically moving towards. We're like, we're

57:28

like at the crux of that and that Vonnegut story where

57:30

the ballet dancer has to wear weights because it's not fair.

57:32

I feel like we've gone Harrison Berger on. That's the one.

57:34

Yeah. Is it Berger on? Yeah. It's like you could be

57:36

saving a puppy and somebody would have something bad to say

57:39

about it. Oh yeah. Yup. How dare you?

57:41

That's the, that's, that's the joke. Like Trump

57:43

could be, could run into a burning, if

57:45

Trump ran into a burning building, like Cory

57:47

Booker did in New Jersey and

57:49

ran out clothes singed, covered

57:51

in soot, carrying two babies

57:54

and handed them to doctors. They

57:56

would find a way to insult him and say

57:59

Donald Trump. risked the lives of those babies because

58:01

he wanted to look like a hero he should

58:03

have left the firemen to do their job instead.

58:05

That's what it would be that's perfect that's the

58:08

that's the anti-fend Head of foul Donald Trump. We

58:10

call that. It's two

58:12

babies. The austere scholar that's what we

58:14

refer to it as. Remember when

58:16

Washington Post referred to what was the

58:19

guy's the ISIS guy as a as

58:21

an austere scholar. What? This guy who

58:25

it wasn't like a colleague. What was the guy's name was

58:28

hold on right. It's been so long. Also,

58:32

I think I know the name but I don't want to

58:34

get it wrong. Bagdaddy. Bagdaddy. Yeah.

58:36

Yes. Right. Washington

58:39

Post criticized and lampooned over a Bagdaddy

58:41

headline. Abu

58:43

Bakr al-Baghdadi. They said he was

58:45

an austere religious scholar. Yes,

58:48

he was also a murdering terrorist

58:50

who kidnapped and raped women relentlessly

58:54

and they decided to call him

58:56

an austere scholar because they didn't want to give

58:58

Donald Trump any kind of win

59:01

over his military campaign. It's amazing. They

59:03

they deny that Donald Trump crossed the

59:05

DMZ into North Korea. I've

59:08

mentioned this to so many people that never happened you're lying

59:11

because they cannot accept Trump did good things.

59:13

Right. They don't they they find ways to

59:15

say that the Abraham Accords were bad you

59:18

know even though that was like a really

59:20

major peace agreement in a place where there's

59:22

now war. Do you think it

59:24

makes people more emboldened to speak

59:26

positively about Trump or other you

59:28

know conservative figures they admire or

59:30

does it make people withdraw?

59:33

I grew up in a really blue-set

59:35

group in Connecticut and I was always conservative you know

59:37

I've been this way for a long time I guess

59:39

and it was something that I kind of you always

59:41

teeter on the edge of especially when you're young and

59:44

you know in in school and you're trying to navigate

59:46

that and be like I don't I don't know if

59:48

I'm trying to start conflict all the time but also

59:51

that was a very different

59:53

culture than if the media

59:55

is up against you all the time all of your co-workers

59:57

are against you know what I mean like yeah people with

1:00:00

from talking about it or did they talk about it more?

1:00:02

I think it really depends on the person. I think

1:00:05

some people will talk about it more where

1:00:07

other people will just be like, I'm gonna keep

1:00:09

that to myself or maybe stop having opinions. I

1:00:12

feel like people are almost afraid. Yeah, we were

1:00:14

talking about that before the show because your song

1:00:16

came out and you had

1:00:18

people that you know from your hometown who were like,

1:00:20

what were they saying? You were telling me that they

1:00:23

were offended that you released the song. Some

1:00:26

of the worst things, it was just like, we

1:00:30

shouldn't care what she thinks. Just

1:00:34

like people that you wouldn't suspect

1:00:36

to say such things, they

1:00:38

can have their own opinion but the second that I

1:00:41

do, it's terrible. I'm wrong,

1:00:43

I don't know. Yeah,

1:00:46

I mean that's the kind of thing that

1:00:48

happens. When you put yourself out there and

1:00:50

you take a chance, you're always gonna have

1:00:52

people who are just instantly instant detractors and

1:00:54

saying that you shouldn't have a right to

1:00:56

speak your mind or make the artwork that

1:00:58

you wanna make. And if they disgrace you

1:01:00

on one issue, everything about your character is

1:01:02

bad. Yeah, they judge your whole character based

1:01:04

on one thing you believe in. Back

1:01:06

then, like you were talking earlier, it never

1:01:09

used to be like that. A Democrat could be married to

1:01:11

a Republican and they'd talk about it at dinner and it

1:01:13

would be over with. But now it's like

1:01:17

some people commenting on my song, it was just like, I

1:01:20

completely don't like her character anymore just because of that

1:01:22

and they don't know me. Just because you wrote a

1:01:24

song defending the unborn. Right, me

1:01:26

and Chris were talking about this before the show

1:01:28

but like it used to be you just wrote

1:01:30

songs and released them and that was called art.

1:01:33

And now it's different. I remember that, I missed

1:01:35

that. Yeah, we were saying that it was, when

1:01:38

an artist actually would put out a

1:01:40

song that just reflected who they were

1:01:42

as a person and who they were

1:01:44

as an artist, that was just called

1:01:46

an artist. Right, you

1:01:49

didn't. And now, God forbid, you do that. Well

1:01:51

now you have to be an activist artist. You

1:01:53

have to create propaganda, otherwise

1:01:57

no one. And you can't like art me by. You

1:02:00

can't make art made by anyone who

1:02:02

represents the wrong thing, right? You can't distance

1:02:04

yourself from being like, well, I like this

1:02:06

song, but they vote differently. You have to

1:02:08

comply on every level and everyone you know

1:02:10

has to be in the exact same level.

1:02:12

If you're a progressive, and so that's sort

1:02:14

of the interesting thing. And that's why I

1:02:16

think you have conservatives and the conservative sort

1:02:18

of movement isn't a machine. What

1:02:21

you're talking about, Hannah Clare, is basically a machine.

1:02:23

Everybody's in lockstep. Everyone's going to go along with

1:02:25

the exact same perspective. You're going to shun anyone

1:02:27

who disagrees with you even on the most minute

1:02:30

and small thing. And conservatives

1:02:32

are just like, oh, I like Taylor Swift

1:02:34

and I like WC and I like whatever

1:02:39

else and I like modern art and

1:02:41

I like Renaissance art and I like

1:02:44

fashion by this company and I also

1:02:46

will shop over here. And

1:02:49

so conservatives don't use

1:02:51

their sort of power in

1:02:53

the same way. And we did

1:02:56

see in the past couple of years conservatives like

1:02:58

changing that around and Target felt the brunt of

1:03:00

that, Disney felt the brunt of that and of

1:03:02

course Bud Light felt the brunt of

1:03:04

that. And now you're seeing with some of the

1:03:06

polling, Democrats are feeling some of that. So we'll

1:03:09

see what happens. Yeah. And

1:03:11

I think as conservatives, we're more of

1:03:13

the, let me do you, let me do me and you do

1:03:18

you and let's go on with it.

1:03:21

I think on the other side sometimes,

1:03:24

like just for instance, I was doing

1:03:26

this show, it's been a

1:03:28

few years ago and I was waiting in

1:03:30

the back of the, you know,

1:03:32

in the green room and there was other people who

1:03:34

worked there. I'm not going

1:03:36

to say where it was,

1:03:39

but there was this people

1:03:41

getting married and there was at this booth

1:03:44

and I was just tuning up and

1:03:46

it wasn't my show. I was actually

1:03:48

asked to be on the show. So it

1:03:50

wasn't my thing anyway. So this

1:03:53

girl was being married. She says, didn't you

1:03:55

get a, um, uh, something

1:03:58

online to be a preacher? And

1:04:00

he goes, yeah, he goes, I just wanted

1:04:02

to do it. And he said it really

1:04:04

like screamed it. I just wanted to do

1:04:06

it to piss

1:04:08

off the Christian effing

1:04:11

Republicans, you know? And it was like a

1:04:13

room full of eight people. He didn't know

1:04:15

any of us. And my dad

1:04:17

just passed away. And let

1:04:19

me tell you, he almost met a redneck. Ha

1:04:23

ha ha ha. Did you have said something to him? Like

1:04:25

if you weren't, like would you have said something to him? It

1:04:28

was all I could do. And I sit there

1:04:31

and said, this is not my show. This

1:04:33

is not, you know, I don't want to

1:04:35

mess this up for my buddy who wanted me on. So

1:04:39

we did the show and after the

1:04:41

show, I went looking for the guy,

1:04:43

just to tell him, you know, where

1:04:45

that went for me. Yeah.

1:04:48

And I couldn't find him. And, but

1:04:51

I told the manager, I was like, man, I

1:04:54

told him what happened. I said, I said,

1:04:56

I would never do that. I

1:04:59

would never do that in a crowd like that

1:05:01

with my friends. Yeah, whatever. But he

1:05:03

had no idea that, that how deep

1:05:05

that went with me. Do you

1:05:08

think it's because he was around a lot of people who

1:05:10

were like, yeah, Oh, absolutely. Republicans are bad. So he felt

1:05:12

like it was a socially normal thing to say. Yeah.

1:05:15

And I think that that happens a

1:05:17

lot. I think that it's just more,

1:05:19

they're more like on the left, you're

1:05:22

more emboldened because you're surrounded by people

1:05:24

who you have to think like that.

1:05:28

And if you don't, you're shunned. Where

1:05:30

with us, I think it's a little

1:05:32

more, there's a

1:05:34

little bit more back and forth. I think there's

1:05:36

more empathy too. There's more empathy. That's correct. Yeah,

1:05:39

absolutely. Individualism versus collectivism. When we were talking about,

1:05:41

you know, you're just an artist, you just put

1:05:43

out music, it was art. It got me thinking

1:05:45

about like Rage Against the Machine. Oh

1:05:48

yeah. Like they were huge. Did they, were they

1:05:50

called activists and conspiracy theorists by the press when

1:05:52

they would put out a song? No,

1:05:54

they weren't. But I mean, I pulled

1:05:56

up their lyrics to Guerrilla Radio and it's

1:05:58

like, Distinguishable from the message

1:06:01

of Alex Jones at the time, but

1:06:03

they would call Alex Jones a far-right can at the time

1:06:05

They weren't really saying a lot of far-right stuff Then

1:06:08

all of a sudden by today's standards Rage

1:06:10

Against the Machine is pro war machine There were

1:06:12

they work with the Democrats basically on voter initiative

1:06:14

type stuff like not literally, but I

1:06:16

mean like go vote We're

1:06:19

on the left support Ukraine that kind of stuff on

1:06:21

your mask Take your back which is crazy because it used

1:06:23

to be the opposite of that like yeah There was a lot

1:06:25

of like Bob Dylan and all those guys back in was

1:06:27

at the 60s or something was against war All

1:06:30

the songs were yeah I mean a

1:06:32

lot of things changed to when you had

1:06:34

the progressive left really embrace Obama because

1:06:37

what you had was a political

1:06:39

movement that had been anti

1:06:42

authoritarian suddenly finding a

1:06:45

leader who they Rallied

1:06:47

around and so then they were like oh

1:06:49

now we adore the president now we adore

1:06:52

the establishment We love the establishment

1:06:54

love everything that he's telling us to do and

1:06:56

so now we're gonna do it So the the

1:06:58

group of people who had been saying their whole

1:07:00

time, you know, the boomers and the hippies and

1:07:02

whatever question authority Changed

1:07:05

their minds and said, you know embrace authority

1:07:08

and the Obama administration really, you know,

1:07:11

really grabbed power Grab

1:07:14

power that way grabbed power over

1:07:16

people not even necessarily just institutionally but power

1:07:18

over people And so then when Trump came

1:07:20

in it was such a betrayal because these

1:07:22

were the people who wanted to love the

1:07:24

White House They wanted to

1:07:26

love the you know leader and

1:07:29

suddenly they couldn't love the leader. So they

1:07:31

were totally broken That's why they started resistance

1:07:33

before they even knew what any of the

1:07:35

policies were like total morons, you

1:07:38

know That's just so ridiculous

1:07:40

It always makes me think of you know

1:07:43

the aspect of politics. It's that's just team

1:07:45

sports, right? We like the White House when

1:07:47

our guy in you know, if he has it he's

1:07:49

on the blue ticket He's got a D on a

1:07:51

shirt, you know He's the one but if it's those

1:07:53

red guys with with the Republican name that we're out

1:07:55

and I think that is so

1:08:00

indicative of the herd mentality that

1:08:02

so many of the institutions in America

1:08:04

right now want people to rely

1:08:06

on. They don't want you to think critically about like,

1:08:08

oh, well, I like this policy from this one guy,

1:08:11

but on the other side of the aisle, this guy's

1:08:13

policy is pretty good because it's

1:08:15

much easier for them to work. Everyone says, oh,

1:08:17

a bipartisanship and we need the bipartisanship. No, they

1:08:19

don't. They don't want their party to be completely

1:08:21

in power and every single one of their bills

1:08:24

to pass with no help from the other side

1:08:26

because it's easier for them. Democrats

1:08:29

want one token Republican like Adam Kinzinger or

1:08:31

Liz Cheney so they can call it a bipartisan bill. We

1:08:34

represent the people. We're bipartisan. It's like, no,

1:08:36

you're not going to shut up. Well, we saw that with January

1:08:38

6th where, what was it? Who

1:08:40

was the House Speaker of Time? Was it

1:08:42

McCarthy? McCarthy wanted to sit Jim Jordan and

1:08:45

Jim Banks on the January 6th committee and

1:08:47

Nancy Pelosi said, absolutely not. We're not going

1:08:49

to seat them and

1:08:51

offered position offered seats to Cheney

1:08:53

and Kinzinger. And so you

1:08:56

had the Republican saying, we're not going to

1:08:58

seat anybody. McCarthy said, we're not going to

1:09:00

seat anybody then. This is a totally illegitimate

1:09:02

committee. And now for some reason, they're still

1:09:04

honoring those subpoenas. Like why didn't they rescind

1:09:06

them right away? You know, it's

1:09:08

like, I don't understand. I don't understand

1:09:10

why they hate that way. It almost makes me wish

1:09:12

they had seated somebody who would have really held everything

1:09:14

up. But they couldn't. They couldn't. I

1:09:16

mean, Pelosi would not approve anybody, any of the

1:09:18

hardliners to sit on that committee. And

1:09:21

somehow they let that committee go forward anyway. That was

1:09:23

a big mistake. It's crazy. I don't

1:09:25

know if they had the power to change it, but well,

1:09:28

they might protest it at every chance they go.

1:09:30

Well, they're filing now to basically nullify a lot of

1:09:32

what they did. I hope that they actually

1:09:34

do it in time. I mean, Bannon's supposed to

1:09:36

report to what prison in Connecticut on July. Peter

1:09:38

Navarro is already in prison. He already is. Yeah,

1:09:40

he sure is. Yeah. Yeah.

1:09:43

They have they've arrested what is it like a

1:09:46

dozen or so Trump associates lawyers are being threatened

1:09:48

with jail. I again,

1:09:50

I don't know how you look at Trump's

1:09:52

lawyers going to prison. His lawyers. And

1:09:54

for offering him illegal advice. I

1:09:56

don't say you look at that and you think like

1:09:58

this ends in. with Trump and

1:10:00

Biden shaking hands and calling it good game. I

1:10:03

don't see that. But Rachel Maddow is like, hey,

1:10:05

they're going to do this completely new thing. But

1:10:07

they've never, that we definitely don't do. They're going

1:10:09

to lock us up. They're going to cross the

1:10:11

key. What are you talking about? For lying or

1:10:13

something. I don't know. What did I ever say?

1:10:16

I'm so scared. It's different when we go after

1:10:18

the former president's lawyers. He deserves it because he

1:10:20

is so bad. The logic is so ridiculous because

1:10:22

so much of it is personality based. The

1:10:25

fact that the Biden administration has real. Trump has

1:10:27

really moderate policy. Yeah. Well, and the fact that

1:10:29

the Biden administration has reintroduced so many of his

1:10:31

border policies, they kind of quietly are like, oh,

1:10:33

we made this big scene of

1:10:35

doing something. But actually, bad consequences there. It's

1:10:38

like admitting. Well, they're pretending that they're doing it.

1:10:40

They're pretending they're. Right. Exactly. And

1:10:42

I think ultimately, this is the real

1:10:45

issue, which is no one wants to be like, we

1:10:47

made a mistake. We went too far on that one

1:10:49

because they have built this narrative that an electing Trump

1:10:51

for a second term would be the end of the

1:10:53

nation as we know it. And no one's life would

1:10:55

get better. And they have to keep that door closed

1:10:58

to keep anything that they have said

1:11:00

in the last decade legitimate. Right.

1:11:04

And it's not legitimate. I

1:11:07

mean, again, this is the same party that

1:11:09

says, well, you see every statement from Joe

1:11:11

Biden right now. It's like, well, it's the

1:11:13

congressional Republicans that are doing all these bad

1:11:16

things. Listen, they think men are women. So

1:11:18

I mean, they are just liars. Look, they're

1:11:20

liars and illogical, but we still have to

1:11:22

deal with them because they're there. They think

1:11:24

like 12-year-old girls should

1:11:26

be able to get abortions without telling anybody

1:11:28

about it or without telling their

1:11:30

parents. They think illegal immigrants should

1:11:33

just be able to hang out in the country until

1:11:35

their court date when they won't be able to find

1:11:37

them or deport them anyway. Thought

1:11:39

they gave them phones, though, so they could get a hold of them. Yeah,

1:11:42

but you know what's been going on is people

1:11:44

are ditching these phones so that they can't be

1:11:46

tracked. No way. I know. People came here illegally.

1:11:48

I thought that. Who didn't want to register with

1:11:50

the government. Millions of dollars for this phone program.

1:11:52

You don't want to be tracked. This is a

1:11:54

crazy thing. I know. It's

1:11:56

almost like it's so logical that we could have seen

1:11:58

it coming. I wonder. I wonder why they

1:12:00

don't want to be tracked after ditching their IDs at

1:12:03

the border so that they could assume a new identity.

1:12:06

Well, they're really scared. Do you know what to do? Yeah.

1:12:09

Well, they just want Buffalo Wild Wings. Right? Who

1:12:11

doesn't, frankly? That's it. That's

1:12:13

what it comes to. by

1:12:15

LA Times. They said, why are you coming

1:12:17

here? And they said, I miss Buffalo Wild Wings. And

1:12:20

it was at that point, I realized they

1:12:23

really are just like us. Yeah. Buffalo

1:12:25

Wild Wings responded to that? I don't know. I

1:12:27

love the Dude,

1:12:29

I just, come on. Everybody,

1:12:32

you got to sympathize, empathize with that. Like,

1:12:34

wow, damn. You can't come in, but I

1:12:36

do understand why you want to be here

1:12:38

because beat dubs is awesome. They

1:12:40

got, they got, they had a coyote with

1:12:42

a sponsor coming in.

1:12:44

It's like, Buffalo Wild Wings. I

1:12:47

love this story because Mexico has Buffalo Wild Wings.

1:12:50

And so when this caravan was coming to the US

1:12:52

and an LA Times reporter was like, what are you

1:12:54

coming for? And I said, I want my

1:12:56

PlayStation back, which I left in America when they deported me.

1:12:59

And then another person was like, I miss Buffalo Wild Wings. And

1:13:01

I'm like, yo, I've been to Mexico city and I went to

1:13:03

Buffalo Wild Wings and it was fantastic. I

1:13:06

have never had better than Buffalo Wild Wings. I've

1:13:08

never had a bad experience of Buffalo Wild Wings. That's

1:13:10

good to know. I have not paid me to say

1:13:12

that. It's just, how do you, how do you go wrong

1:13:14

with chicken and barbecue sauce and like all

1:13:17

the different sauces, you know, you know, I'm like,

1:13:19

you give me, I don't do blue cheese.

1:13:21

No, ranch all the way ranch. But

1:13:24

they have like 10 sauces and I'm like, I can

1:13:26

have chicken in 10 different sauces. I

1:13:29

mean, America is an amazing country. Let

1:13:31

me tell you. But as an aside, this

1:13:33

is why this is why illegal immigrants

1:13:35

want to come here. I use the Buffalo Wild Wings.

1:13:38

Wild Wings thinks it's kind of funny. It's like, ha ha, we get

1:13:40

it. Yeah. But they like pizzeria Unos,

1:13:42

man. They like KFC. They like portillo's in Chicago. All

1:13:45

these things are good. I mean, these are

1:13:47

all good things. We have

1:13:49

fat homeless people. They're like, I gotta

1:13:51

get it. Well, this is why it's

1:13:53

taking so long for our civilization to collapse. I

1:13:55

mean, we built it really big, you know, on

1:13:57

top of like a mountain of chicken bones. So

1:14:01

many different sauce bottles. You would not even believe that's

1:14:03

what the real plastic in the universe is. The garlic

1:14:05

parmesan. I was going to say the garlic

1:14:07

parmesan. That's my favorite. Oh

1:14:10

yeah. I'm so hungry right now. It is

1:14:12

so Friday night. And

1:14:16

now all these illegal meringue are coming here. The

1:14:19

reality of it is we're laughing and

1:14:21

joking, but I really do think that

1:14:23

hits at the heart of why America's

1:14:25

awesome. Variety, options, low cost. Oh

1:14:28

sure. We have so many great things. A

1:14:30

Chinese food restaurant, every street corner, a

1:14:32

Starbucks. You wake

1:14:34

up, you get coffee for lunch, you get General So's

1:14:36

chicken, and for dinner, you get Thai food or you

1:14:38

get Indian food. It's just all here. Well

1:14:40

that's a funny thing about when you're hanging out with your friends and

1:14:42

you're trying to figure out what you're going to eat. You

1:14:45

don't say like, oh do you want to go to

1:14:47

this restaurant or that? You say like, do you want

1:14:49

Indian, Chinese, Korean? Do you want soul food? Korean

1:14:52

barbecue. So good. Oh man. I

1:14:54

always want Mexican food. Me too. It

1:14:56

was chips and queso. Oh yeah. It's like

1:14:59

a Salvadorian restaurant where we are right now. Really? Yeah.

1:15:02

And it's awesome because it's a lot of a repas instead of tortillas.

1:15:06

A lot of Salvadorans in the US are

1:15:08

going back to El Salvador. I

1:15:10

met one. I love to hear it. I

1:15:12

met a guy. And it's like reverse brain drain, which

1:15:15

I think is great. I mean I would love to

1:15:17

see South America really, you know.

1:15:19

Right. This is how you

1:15:21

think about asylum. A whole bunch of buffalo, wild

1:15:23

wings. If asylum was really like, hey your country's

1:15:25

going through a rough time and eventually you know

1:15:27

in two years we could relocate you back. You

1:15:29

know, you stay safe now. I would maybe possibly

1:15:31

consider being open to it. But the way asylum

1:15:34

works right now is like let's bring in a

1:15:36

lot of people under asylum who are just staying

1:15:38

here. Who are not actually qualified for asylum. Not

1:15:40

qualified for asylum. I mean that's the thing that immigration

1:15:42

attorneys will tell you is once they get to the court

1:15:44

date it turns out that those who actually end up in

1:15:46

court are not qualified. And also everything

1:15:48

remains chaotic abroad. And then we were like,

1:15:51

we got to be involved there and probably

1:15:53

send them some money and maybe we should

1:15:55

send some secret troops there. And you know

1:15:57

it's just, what point

1:15:59

are we saying? Don't we have to have guys in

1:16:01

Ukraine now, basically? I mean, we

1:16:03

have 3,000 people in Jordan. I'm

1:16:05

sure we have people in Ukraine. Seems like

1:16:08

we should send American food businesses to

1:16:10

Mexico to open there

1:16:12

and bring our culture to Mexico.

1:16:15

I mean, all of these things do exist abroad. There

1:16:18

are probably people you could talk

1:16:20

to who are like, oh, we choose not to invest there

1:16:22

because crime is really bad or something else. Like, I wouldn't

1:16:24

be surprised if a lot of American countries go to El

1:16:26

Salvador because so much has changed, right? They're saying, well, and

1:16:29

that would be great. It

1:16:31

would be great to revitalize these places,

1:16:33

especially when they get their crime under

1:16:35

control. We are here looking

1:16:38

at Mexico City. Let's turn satellite on.

1:16:40

Are these all the Buffalo Wild Wings? No, these are KFCs. Oh, there's

1:16:42

a KFC? A lot of KFCs. A lot of KFCs. Let's

1:16:46

just, what else do we

1:16:48

search for? Burger King.

1:16:50

Yeah, I was going to say Burger King. Well, that's

1:16:52

sort of a gimme. We like Taco Bell. Yeah, Taco

1:16:54

Bell. Are there Taco Bell? I don't think Taco

1:16:56

Bell is in Mexico. Let's find out. Okay,

1:16:58

look at all these Burger Kings. Mexico City's

1:17:00

awesome. I have always wanted to go there. What

1:17:03

about Culver's? Oh my god! No, no, no, no, no,

1:17:05

no, no, no, no. Okay, this is

1:17:08

like good tacos. Yeah, Taco Bell probably tastes

1:17:10

horrible. I bet those are good tacos. The

1:17:12

story is that Taco Bell tried to open

1:17:14

in Mexico, calling themselves American food, and nobody

1:17:16

wanted it. Yeah. The

1:17:19

guy who started Taco Bell, I

1:17:21

think his name was Frank Bell. His last name was Bell.

1:17:23

He initially wanted to open a

1:17:26

hamburger stand. Buffalo Wild Wings, look at that. They're

1:17:28

all over too. There's one, two, three,

1:17:30

let's see, four. No,

1:17:34

that's different. It looks like there's five. No,

1:17:36

no, no, no, that's different. It looks like there's four. There's

1:17:38

a Wild Wings. Four Buffalo Wild Wings. That's a lot for

1:17:40

a city, right? Mexico City's

1:17:42

pretty big. So, but it's

1:17:44

there. It is there for you.

1:17:47

And you can have all of the sauces. Did you know

1:17:50

that you can actually- All the sauces. You get garlic parmesan,

1:17:52

and then you can still dip it in barbecue sauce. I

1:17:55

do like that. You don't need to come to the United States. You

1:17:57

can stay there and do it. I do like the

1:17:59

double dip. Well, that's what really bugged

1:18:01

me is cuz like the caravan came here and

1:18:03

guacamole Mexico offered asylum to everyone They

1:18:05

said you will all receive asylum in Mexico and they were

1:18:07

a boo And then they yell

1:18:09

who wants to keep going and they were like, yeah,

1:18:12

it's like Mexico is awesome.

1:18:15

Like Mexico City is not a bad place. No, it

1:18:17

doesn't seem bad. It's nice. Uh, They've

1:18:19

got nice areas. They got bad areas like every every

1:18:21

city and they have Buffalo Wild Wings I

1:18:24

get it, but they also have Burger King. They've McDonald's

1:18:26

they have Starbucks you go to Mexico City Go to

1:18:28

the mall places for but it's like people

1:18:30

love America so much that they will skip over this

1:18:32

just to come here there's

1:18:35

not big large caravans of immigrants

1:18:38

trying to get in some of these countries

1:18:40

it's It's always us well

1:18:43

or the UK. Yeah, there's a huge right? Yeah,

1:18:45

a huge situation in the UK or Germany I

1:18:48

want to I want to do this I want to jump to one last

1:18:50

story before we get to the music and everything because this one I just

1:18:52

found really funny From Mediaite plus

1:18:54

AOC hits back at neo-nazi Nick

1:18:56

Fuentes after he praises her claim

1:18:58

that Democrats only Support Israel out

1:19:01

of fear of a pack. Okay.

1:19:03

Well what actually happened is really funny Nick

1:19:06

Fuentes tweeted Okay, look we guys heard at the

1:19:08

beginning Also, I

1:19:10

I also don't believe that Nick Fuentes is a

1:19:13

neo-nazi. I believe they're just attacking him over that

1:19:16

He's an America first anti-israel personality. I think that's

1:19:18

you can just calm what he is. So

1:19:21

AOC tweets an unspoken secret

1:19:23

in Congress that much of the reflexive

1:19:25

blind Unconditional vote support for nearly any

1:19:27

Israeli government action isn't from actual agreement

1:19:29

It's from fear reps are terrified

1:19:32

of this of a pack so they don't vote

1:19:34

their conscience They vote their fear Fuentes

1:19:36

as AOC is more America first than 99% of

1:19:38

Republicans You

1:19:41

cannot deny Nick Fuentes Complimented

1:19:43

AOC over her position on Israel We

1:19:46

have even had people who have super-tetted to us that

1:19:48

they would vote for Joe Biden if Joe Biden came

1:19:50

out opposed to Israel That is how many

1:19:52

of these people feel when it comes to Israel But

1:19:54

being called America first is not a compliment for AOC

1:19:57

She said you're a white supremacist and I want nothing to

1:19:59

do with you nor the world you imagine. I

1:20:01

believe in a multiracial democracy, one of economic

1:20:03

rights of the liberties, and that affirms the

1:20:06

working class and the rights of women and

1:20:08

LGBTQ people. These are not small differences, they're

1:20:10

irreconcilable. White supremacy is a scourge and must

1:20:12

be disavowed in all places. What's

1:20:15

really funny is, all Nick

1:20:17

said was that she was right. Right,

1:20:19

she lost her mind. Uncalled for response,

1:20:21

like. She lost her mind

1:20:23

over this. Well, that's because, she lost

1:20:25

her mind because AOC believes that your

1:20:27

supporters are indicative of who you are

1:20:30

personally. Yeah. So

1:20:32

she's not comfortable being supported by

1:20:34

someone that she perceives of in these terms.

1:20:36

Yeah, I'm gonna reference Gilmore Girls here, but she says,

1:20:38

get off my side. I don't

1:20:41

want you to be the person supporting me because

1:20:43

I think that you will make me

1:20:45

look less appealing to my own voters, regardless of what

1:20:47

the statement is. She could have ignored

1:20:49

this. She opted to respond because, number one, she

1:20:51

thinks dunking on Nick will, I don't know if

1:20:53

you can call this a dunk, but responding to

1:20:56

Nick like this will make her seem even more

1:20:58

like this wonderful person. She's gonna talk down to

1:21:00

this terrible, terrible guy from the internet. You know

1:21:02

what I mean? Like, it's so stupid and performative.

1:21:05

She could have let it just roll off her. Instead,

1:21:07

she is so afraid to be associated with him that

1:21:09

she has to respond in hysterics. She gave her

1:21:11

virtue signal bona fides, but it

1:21:13

won't matter because she criticized Israel and she will continue

1:21:16

and Fuentes will praise her for doing so. That,

1:21:18

like, they, look, Fuentes has his

1:21:21

views and AOC criticizing Israel

1:21:23

and AIPAC aligns with what Fuentes,

1:21:25

his worldview, and America First

1:21:27

individuals, great person or otherwise, are not

1:21:29

afraid of being aligned with AOC. They

1:21:32

don't care. AOC is

1:21:34

terrified of being aligned with Nick

1:21:36

Fuentes, however, because they are tribalists

1:21:38

who care more about what

1:21:41

their tribe thinks of them than what they actually

1:21:43

are concerned with politically. Well, and this also

1:21:45

speaks to what we were talking about before, where

1:21:47

it used to be that you could share some

1:21:49

views with a person and not others. And

1:21:52

now it's like, if you don't subscribe to a

1:21:54

person's entire program, you

1:21:56

don't want anything to do with them. You don't even, you know, you

1:21:58

don't even wanna. share a tweet with

1:22:00

them. She probably reported him to ex for harassment.

1:22:03

She was like, this is bullying.

1:22:05

He has to get away from me. I'm not associated

1:22:08

with this. Ah. Right.

1:22:10

This is probably an emergency meeting for her staff,

1:22:12

right? Well, they all sat there and drafted this.

1:22:14

And she was like, we cannot let this go.

1:22:16

I looked here and there was like, look. Scaring

1:22:18

down the face. This is why there's a lot

1:22:20

of people who claim Fuentes is a Fed,

1:22:23

which I don't think is true. But it's

1:22:25

because the positions that he take to any

1:22:27

marketing person would like, OK, you go

1:22:29

to anybody who works in marketing and they're going to be

1:22:31

like, well, if you were trying to

1:22:33

hurt your cause, do what Nick is doing. Coming

1:22:37

out and saying this about AOC puts

1:22:39

AOC in panic mode. If

1:22:42

Nick's real plan was to

1:22:45

harm the Democratic position, you

1:22:48

would do exactly that. The

1:22:50

idea of coming out and saying, so

1:22:52

like one of the criticisms is that he

1:22:54

calls himself America first. That's the

1:22:57

name of his group, his conference. And

1:22:59

so what does America first mean? It

1:23:02

means America gets to spend some money on itself.

1:23:04

It doesn't go to foreign wars. It takes care of its

1:23:06

own borders before dealing with anyone else around the world. Then

1:23:09

Nick Fuentes gets up on stage, figuratively,

1:23:11

and he yells, independence

1:23:14

from Israel. And instantly

1:23:16

now, the idea of supporting America

1:23:19

is now attached to the brand that

1:23:21

is just Israel bad. Well, there

1:23:23

are a lot of people in America who don't really care

1:23:25

all that much about Israel, and they care

1:23:27

about America. But what Fuentes

1:23:30

does merges the PR campaign. Again,

1:23:32

not saying it's intentional, but it's fairly

1:23:34

obvious this is detrimental to the efforts

1:23:36

of protecting America. This

1:23:39

is why AOC is freaking out. It's bad

1:23:41

for her to be in alignment with Nick no matter

1:23:43

what Nick does. The

1:23:46

same is true for the idea of being

1:23:48

America first. It is detrimental to that idea of

1:23:50

being associated with Nick Fuentes. Whether

1:23:53

it's his fault or the media's fault or otherwise doesn't matter.

1:23:55

Right. I mean, it works for Nick to

1:23:58

be able to point out. in

1:24:00

American First position because any one of her supporters that

1:24:02

was like, I believe in this, I

1:24:04

think they'll probably panic and freak out. But there might

1:24:06

be someone who was like, oh, is that what America

1:24:08

First means to be against this? Oh, and

1:24:11

it might just linger there, right? It may

1:24:13

not change hearts and minds immediately, but to

1:24:15

point out that this is actually what we

1:24:17

were talking about or whatever, it's interesting what

1:24:19

the long-term effect could be. Here's

1:24:22

a great AI-generated image. Oh

1:24:24

my gosh, wow. That's crazy. I

1:24:26

don't know. That's just in response.

1:24:29

Ooh, Melania only. Why

1:24:31

would you ever throw over Melania? You know?

1:24:33

No, the former supermodel. She's in

1:24:35

such great style. No, no. That's

1:24:37

crazy. I

1:24:39

think that one of the worst parts

1:24:41

of Trump's first term in office was

1:24:44

the way they treated Melania. Vogue has

1:24:46

offered every first lady a cover, but

1:24:48

they didn't offer the supermodel a cover

1:24:50

because she's married to or transpore. No

1:24:52

one would dress her, too. You ended

1:24:54

up with, what's the same, a Project

1:24:56

Runway winner, Christian Siriano, being like, I

1:24:58

will dress you. Which

1:25:00

I think is cool. Madam First Lady. I did, too. I

1:25:02

thought it was cool, too. And I

1:25:04

think Dolce and Gabbana continued dressing her as

1:25:06

well. I think she did some stuff with

1:25:08

maybe Ralph Lauren. I could be totally wrong

1:25:10

there. Well, Ralph Lauren is doing the, he

1:25:12

always does the Olympic uniforms. Which

1:25:15

are weird this year. They are kind of,

1:25:17

I'm not into the jeans. You can't really

1:25:19

run in jeans. No, it's very

1:25:21

weird. The outfit that they're gonna wear for

1:25:23

opening ceremonies is like blazer and button-down on

1:25:25

top jeans on bottom. I

1:25:28

was the first wealthy man in America to wear that. Remember

1:25:30

from the true Simpsons? Do you guys remember? Nope.

1:25:34

No, I think that this is all sort of, a

1:25:38

similar thing, like bringing up Milani and the fact that these

1:25:40

designers are like, I can't be associated with

1:25:42

you because your husband is

1:25:44

terrible. Even though, actually, if they

1:25:46

had stayed private citizens, they would

1:25:48

have begged to dress her, right?

1:25:50

The wife of Donald Trump. Yeah,

1:25:52

exactly. I think

1:25:54

this is something Americans get tired of, though.

1:25:57

This sin by association,

1:25:59

I think people. start to say like it's

1:26:01

too complicated and everybody is a target at all times

1:26:03

and I just want to be able to move forward

1:26:05

with my life. Well, we were opposed

1:26:07

to at our founding. That's why like you don't

1:26:09

go to prison for your parents debts. We

1:26:12

had Richard Spencer on the culture war today. They

1:26:15

called him the most prominent white nationalist

1:26:17

back in the first Trump, you know,

1:26:19

era or whatever. And

1:26:22

I think it's funny because, you know,

1:26:25

he never really was that big. I got I'm

1:26:27

not kidding. Like how many followers did he have on Twitter? Like 80,000?

1:26:30

It's like a lot of people sure, but there were people

1:26:32

with millions who were supporting Trump, but they wanted him to

1:26:34

be their boogeyman for the way he looked and the way

1:26:36

he spoke. It fit their media narrative and they went after

1:26:38

him. And this is not for

1:26:40

me to say that. Like

1:26:42

I agree with him politically. Of course I don't. That's the point of

1:26:44

having a debate show. And then after the show ended, he said, can

1:26:47

I get a selfie? I said, yeah. And

1:26:49

I'm like, I am so sick of

1:26:51

the far left and the stupid games they

1:26:53

play of like you hosted this person. That

1:26:55

means you support him. There

1:26:57

was I interviewed some alt right guys back in

1:27:00

like 2016. And there's a

1:27:02

picture of me at a restaurant where they were all eating

1:27:04

and I'm sitting there and they're like, we got him. He's

1:27:06

sitting there eating food. And I was like, that's right. I

1:27:09

was not like, look, he's hiding. I'm like, no, I'm sitting at a

1:27:11

table. Yeah, it's always been

1:27:13

this always been the stupidest thing to

1:27:15

me that this is the world

1:27:17

they try to live in. And I'm like, dude,

1:27:20

we've we've had communists come through these doors and

1:27:22

I've taken pictures with them. We've had conservatives and

1:27:24

Richard Spencer came on the show and I got

1:27:26

a picture with him too. I

1:27:28

don't you can you can accuse me of being I'm

1:27:30

going to interview as many people as I can. I

1:27:32

interviewed a former Soviet general once I

1:27:35

am not a Soviet nor a communist. How did that go?

1:27:37

I did. It's interesting.

1:27:39

Yeah, it sounds interesting in Ukraine actually. And

1:27:42

I also interviewed a Brazilian favela ganglier. This

1:27:44

does not make me a Brazilian favela gang

1:27:46

member. But are you sure an advocate for gang

1:27:48

members? I thought I was so stupid.

1:27:51

I think the problem is, you know, we should

1:27:53

want journalists or people in media to want to

1:27:55

sit down with someone who's completely different. Not to

1:27:57

like score points, but to be like, tell me

1:27:59

what your. positions are, let's spell this out, let's

1:28:01

have this conversation and understand what's going on. But

1:28:04

instead, especially mainstream media is so afraid

1:28:06

that if they have anyone come on

1:28:08

that doesn't fit their narrative and any

1:28:10

of their points make sense, that they

1:28:12

are then going to face some sort

1:28:14

of backlash or that they are emboldening

1:28:16

whatever thought crime they think that

1:28:18

person is committing. I think

1:28:21

it's actually a threat to them. I

1:28:23

think it's actually, I mean, shows like

1:28:25

this, shows like Joe Rogan that actually

1:28:28

sit down with both sides, doing

1:28:31

the thing that they don't do. It's

1:28:33

actually journalism, the way

1:28:35

that it used to be and now it's

1:28:38

gotten so far away from that, like

1:28:40

we were saying before, it's gotten so

1:28:43

one-sided that shows

1:28:45

like this and shows

1:28:47

like Joe's, it's killing

1:28:50

them because it's

1:28:52

showing both sides and they can't

1:28:54

say, well, he said

1:28:56

this, well, if you're talking to someone for

1:28:59

two hours straight instead of getting a three

1:29:03

second clip, then

1:29:05

you actually know the whole story and

1:29:08

it's a detriment to them. Do you

1:29:10

think that people want their news

1:29:13

to expose them to new information or to confirm their

1:29:15

own bias though? Yeah, well,

1:29:17

I think they want. Journalism

1:29:21

used to be different. Where was it out like,

1:29:23

here's this brand new take, here's another side, here's

1:29:25

something you've maybe never heard of or seen before

1:29:27

or here's a difficult conversation I'm having with someone

1:29:30

who I don't see eye to eye with, but

1:29:32

more and more, I think MSNBC, they don't want

1:29:35

their viewers to click away when they're like, oh, I don't think

1:29:37

that person's saying something they should. So they'll just say, well, what

1:29:39

do you want to hear? And we'll play it for you all

1:29:41

day long, 24 seven. Right,

1:29:44

absolutely. And it's just

1:29:46

a, when their

1:29:48

jobs actually should be like what

1:29:50

I said before, hear both

1:29:52

sides and you make up your own mind

1:29:54

instead of the biased thing that

1:29:56

we have now on both sides. It

1:30:00

just being like, here's the information you decide. They don't

1:30:02

want that anymore. Right. Which

1:30:04

I think people should be insulted by. Because basically

1:30:06

they're too stupid to think about this critically. Yeah.

1:30:10

We think you'll come to the wrong conclusion and we can't

1:30:12

allow that. That's actually the position of

1:30:14

the corporate press. When the New York Times

1:30:16

wrote that article saying, stop thinking critically. Right.

1:30:19

Don't do it. It'll lead you down rabbit

1:30:21

holes. You don't want to go. They're like,

1:30:23

please stop not being brainwashed because we're trying

1:30:25

so hard. Yeah. Yeah.

1:30:28

But that's why I think culture is so important because a lot

1:30:30

of people get their messaging through art. They

1:30:32

don't read the news all day every day. They're busy. They're

1:30:35

fixing pipes. They're building

1:30:38

houses. They're fixing cars.

1:30:40

They're paving roads. They're

1:30:43

working in hospitals. They're

1:30:45

treating the ill. And so

1:30:48

their entire day is gonna be, look

1:30:50

man, we just got done

1:30:52

laying a concrete foundation. I

1:30:55

did not follow anything in

1:30:57

politics today. And then what happens,

1:30:59

they turn on the TV show and on

1:31:02

the TV, they're saying Donald Trump is gonna start putting

1:31:04

migrants in concentration camps. And

1:31:07

so their worldview is crafted around these psychopaths

1:31:09

in Hollywood. At least the

1:31:11

narratives they're pushing and their movies. But I

1:31:13

think then, what's happened

1:31:15

especially with podcasts and stuff is people are working

1:31:17

and they're playing these shows in the background. And

1:31:20

so they are starting to be more and more informed. It's gonna be easier

1:31:22

to be more informed. And then when they turn the

1:31:24

TV on and they see that, they turn it off. Ratings

1:31:26

get worse. Industry fails. I

1:31:30

think people get passionate about things too. That's what

1:31:32

I noticed during COVID and the pandemic and

1:31:35

everything, people started to be like, why don't really understand?

1:31:37

So I have to do some of my own research.

1:31:39

And I think that made people begin to say like,

1:31:41

oh, maybe I should do this about more things. Maybe

1:31:43

the information I'm getting is something I need to

1:31:46

more critically look at and pursue

1:31:48

what's actually going on. I

1:31:51

think the remnants of institutional

1:31:53

trust really were shaken and

1:31:55

destroyed during that time because people got

1:31:57

so much conflicting information and felt like

1:31:59

the... the sources they were relying on led

1:32:01

them the wrong direction. But there was

1:32:03

even a pull out from Erasmus in the other day that

1:32:06

said most people now

1:32:08

don't trust graduates of Ivy League schools.

1:32:10

They don't trust those schools. And those

1:32:13

schools are no longer stewards of American

1:32:15

culture. They just aren't. Yeah,

1:32:18

but I suppose we should play some

1:32:20

music. Let's do that. Let's do it. Let's

1:32:22

have more culture. You guys ready? Yeah. We're

1:32:25

gonna hear the song, I Was Gonna Be. You

1:32:28

can go to song.link slash Rachel.

1:32:31

And it's R-A-C-H-E-L. Correct?

1:32:35

Yes. And you can buy the song on iTunes. If

1:32:37

you wanna support the song, you should listen to it first, of course. And if

1:32:39

you like it, you should buy it. And then

1:32:42

just maybe, it'll be interesting to see

1:32:44

what happens when the corporate press loses their mind over

1:32:46

a pro-life song. A song

1:32:48

criticizing abortion hits the billboard charts.

1:32:53

And we're getting set up. Do we have the camera? We

1:32:55

do. Hit it. First

1:32:58

time we've had live music in the studio? In this one, yeah. That's

1:33:00

why we have the music corner. Oh.

1:33:03

It's gonna look better eventually. Right, so these

1:33:05

are the old studio cameras. And you can

1:33:07

tell the main studio cameras we use for

1:33:09

the show have been a massive upgrade. And

1:33:12

then these were the old music studio cameras. I've

1:33:16

had so many people say to me. Are these mine? Yes.

1:33:19

They were right there. Yeah. Oh,

1:33:23

wow, that sounds great. Do

1:33:28

the, you wanna do the. Can

1:33:31

you hear me? I was also. Check,

1:33:33

check, yep. Yeah. So pretty

1:33:35

cool thing, we actually got a sponsorship for this

1:33:38

song called Patriot Mobile. And it's

1:33:40

a really cool thing because they support

1:33:42

pro-life and this song just goes hand in hand with

1:33:44

that. So I think

1:33:46

y'all really like it. Go

1:33:49

to patriotmobile.com/Rachel.

1:33:52

Yeah, and you actually get a free month. Get

1:33:54

a free month. Of my

1:33:56

1:34:11

don't believe I'm a

1:34:13

living soul Just a

1:34:16

bad mistake that needs

1:34:18

to go If

1:34:23

my mama could have

1:34:25

just seen my face

1:34:29

Maybe she would have had me

1:34:31

anyway And

1:34:35

there are those who speak for

1:34:37

me They're

1:34:42

fat for laughs but they

1:34:44

can't see And there

1:34:48

are some who only

1:34:50

mourn This

1:34:54

life of mine if I

1:34:56

were born And

1:35:02

all I wanted was a

1:35:04

chance To learn

1:35:06

to love and

1:35:09

1:35:38

The first thing I was

1:35:40

gonna do Was

1:35:45

breathe and fall in love with you

1:35:51

But a couple of weeks before

1:35:53

I saw the light Mine

1:35:57

figured out when you changed

1:35:59

it All I

1:36:04

wanted was a

1:36:06

chance To

1:36:10

learn to love and

Or some burden that you think

1:36:43

on shooting and missing if it makes you

1:38:52

feel strong. And I'll keep

1:38:54

stocking up on ammunition.

1:39:02

Every war you start, every

1:39:04

war you're building. It's

1:39:08

like a bullet in a gun on

1:39:10

a suicide mission. How's

1:39:14

it feel to be a warden in

1:39:16

1:39:23

gonna come back on you. So

1:39:26

day you'll get a taste of your own. Addition.

1:40:00

I've been only fire

1:40:02

so many times Till

1:40:05

1:40:07

did And then it's

1:40:10

my turn, oh it's my turn

1:40:14

So bring it and hug me,

1:40:16

tear me, rock me, mow me

1:40:18

down Hold

1:40:21

your words, take your aim,

1:40:23

1:40:26

on shooting and missing if it

1:40:28

makes it feel strong It all

1:40:30

keeps talking up on

1:40:33

ammunition On

1:40:39

ammunition That

1:40:48

was cool. Thank you. That was great. Yeah,

1:40:52

I like that one. That was really fun. Yeah, I

1:40:54

like that. That was cool. I like the

1:40:56

guitar on that, Chris. That was great. Yeah.

1:40:59

Alright, well we could read some super chats. Maybe,

1:41:02

I don't know if Carter's got some. I

1:41:05

do if we got

1:41:07

some. Alright. We got 20 minutes. We'll read some super

1:41:09

chats. Carter Banks is in the

1:41:11

house, so play something. We

1:41:13

got a new song that we're working on as well. We

1:41:15

actually just filmed the music video. A lot of stuff is

1:41:18

currently in the works. Hope

1:41:22

and Ben Shapiro will be in it. Oh, that'd

1:41:24

be fun. Yeah, because

1:41:27

we call for violence, so we're reaching out. If

1:41:29

he plays violence. Very, very well. How

1:41:32

about that? Yeah, he's super good at it. And

1:41:35

I was like, dude, it would be based. I

1:41:38

think the song that we have definitely lines

1:41:41

up very strongly with a lot of conservative

1:41:43

messaging. I don't want to say too much about it. I

1:41:46

think I may have mentioned it. What it was about in

1:41:48

the members only show or whatever, but. That's

1:41:50

why you should become a member at 10guess.com.

1:41:53

Well, yeah, I mean, when you're watching the member show, I say a lot of

1:41:55

stuff that I don't say on the main show because I'm not supposed to. And

1:41:57

I get yelled at later because I'm

1:41:59

like, Joe Biden. No, it's because they're

1:42:01

like Everyone's

1:42:04

like that was supposed to be a secret well cuz like

1:42:06

the people who are like You know especially like I'll talk to

1:42:08

1:43:03

you guys co or Chris wrote the song and

1:43:05

1:43:07

he met me and then he ended up finishing

1:43:09

it Okay Yeah And it like I said, it was one

1:43:11

of those things where it was I was

1:43:13

just writing it for me to get it out Of

1:43:16

me, you know, and so it I Honestly,

1:43:19

I didn't think anybody would ever sing

1:43:21

it it would just it just

1:43:23

had to come out of me Yeah, and and when

1:43:25

we met her it was just like one of those

1:43:27

things. How'd you guys meet? So

1:43:30

my dad growing up played bluegrass music along with

1:43:32

like my grandpa and everything So he actually played

1:43:34

at the Opry didn't he? Yeah, my grandpa did

1:43:36

years ago Band called the

1:43:38

Vorbs from Indiana. But anyway, my dad grew up

1:43:40

with this buddy His name is Jamie Johnson not

1:43:42

the one with the big beard, but you know,

1:43:44

he started a band down here forever ago So

1:43:46

he's been in Nashville. He's been there for about

1:43:48

20 years and he ended up meeting Chris one

1:43:51

night Was it a

1:43:53

bar? I've known Jamie for 20

1:43:56

yeah, yeah long time ago.

1:43:58

Yeah, but he just called

1:44:00

me one day and he said, I

1:44:03

hear what you're doing with based records and

1:44:05

you just really need to hear this girl,

1:44:07

you know? And I hear that a

1:44:09

lot, you know, I hear, I'm like, okay. But

1:44:11

with her, she's got

1:44:13

a lot of things going for her. Like

1:44:15

I said, the work ethic though that she had

1:44:18

at a young age, she just turned 18. So

1:44:21

just- So you guys started

1:44:23

working together when you were still in high school? Well,

1:44:25

we started talking to her at around

1:44:28

17, but

1:44:30

you know, we weren't gonna sign anything until she

1:44:33

was 18. Yeah, we signed in January,

1:44:35

but- Yeah. When's that next, that

1:44:37

second song, ammunition, when is that coming? That's gonna be

1:44:39

on her EP. We're working on that right now. That

1:44:42

was a good one. Oh, yeah, it turned out-

1:44:44

The actual recording. Really great. The recording sounds so

1:44:46

good. Yeah, that was like- It was cool. Just

1:44:49

as a musician, the structure, the

1:44:51

melody, I don't wanna disrespect to

1:44:53

anybody publicly on their music, but I was listening to

1:44:55

some other music earlier and I was like, what is

1:44:57

wrong with these musicians? I'm talking to my girlfriend and

1:45:00

we're both in agreement that there's

1:45:02

this song that came on the

1:45:04

streaming and we're just like, how does this stuff

1:45:06

make it on the- It's amylotic, it's as

1:45:09

generic as it comes. I'm

1:45:11

saying this because that second one was great. I put on

1:45:13

my playlist right now. I was listening to it, right? I

1:45:15

wanted to be like, when is that coming out? I feel like

1:45:18

people that even don't listen to country just because it has such

1:45:20

a good groove to it. Yeah, that's cool. Yeah,

1:45:22

it's cool. Yeah. They're both

1:45:24

great. It's

1:45:26

kind of, it fits us too because it's kind of,

1:45:28

it's kind of fighting back like, okay, go ahead and

1:45:30

give it to me, you'll get yours. It's

1:45:33

kind of got that sass to it too. We

1:45:36

got Carter who's gonna jam the song. What

1:45:38

do you got? Well, this is an oldie

1:45:40

bit of goodie, I guess. This is an

1:45:43

acoustic version of a song that I made

1:45:45

with my band Traveler called Breathe and it

1:45:48

goes like this, so. Is

1:45:52

it tuned? I

1:45:58

think so. Drop the...

1:46:01

Okay. Oh no it's not now. Sorry.

1:46:04

You so seek the truth like

1:46:06

it's gonna be therapy. Take

1:46:09

another step at me and you're

1:46:13

only gonna hurt yourself. Make

1:46:17

no bones, the curtain's gonna

1:46:19

close and the credits rolling

1:46:21

down. Wish I could

1:46:23

say it wasn't so. Oh, oh,

1:46:26

oh. Tell

1:46:34

me, tell me, how do

1:46:36

you see just I catch

1:46:38

my breath? With

1:46:40

your hands wrapped around my

1:46:42

neck so tightly. I'll

1:46:46

book you a few, seal up

1:46:48

of my lungs like chain-smoked

1:47:12

cigarettes. I gotta let you

1:47:14

know, and you gotta

1:47:16

let me go. I

1:47:20

tried hiding the truth at the tip

1:47:23

of my tongue. Oh,

1:47:25

oh, oh. I wish I could say

1:47:27

it wasn't so. Oh,

1:47:30

1:47:38

1:47:40

1:47:44

With your hands wrapped around

1:47:47

my neck so tightly. I'll

1:47:50

book you a few, seal up your breath.

1:47:53

Baby, what good am I to you,

1:47:55

1:47:58

your hands wrapped around my neck so

1:48:01

1:49:21

I can put you I'm not D. Libby

1:49:23

don't you want to be in a band now?

1:49:25

Yeah. So, Carter's our music

1:49:27

producer with Trash House. Tim a lot. But

1:49:29

you were in a band before he got

1:49:31

here. So

1:49:35

it is interesting how many people have music

1:49:37

backgrounds and sort of end up being multi-skilled.

1:49:39

I'm going to just keep talking while they

1:49:42

set this up. I like the

1:49:44

live music Fridays. I think that should always be the
