1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:05.240
<v Speaker 1>A conservative worldview would take account of what people actually

2
00:00:05.320 --> 00:00:08.599
<v Speaker 1>want as expressed by what they do, not by what

3
00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:10.359
<v Speaker 1>they should want. And I feel like everything has gotten

4
00:00:10.439 --> 00:00:13.199
<v Speaker 1>think tank world is so abstract, you literally have and

5
00:00:13.240 --> 00:00:15.119
<v Speaker 1>I've worked in think tank world. I mean, I've been

6
00:00:15.119 --> 00:00:17.079
<v Speaker 1>here for thirty four years, so i know the way

7
00:00:17.239 --> 00:00:20.239
<v Speaker 1>the city works. And I've seen people have debates like, well,

8
00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:24.679
<v Speaker 1>you know, that's inconsistent with the tenets of capitalism. I'm like,

9
00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:29.239
<v Speaker 1>I don't worship capitalism. I worship God, like whatever. I'm

10
00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:31.359
<v Speaker 1>a Christian, but leaving outside this is not a religion.

11
00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:35.600
<v Speaker 1>It's a mechanical you know what I mean.

12
00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:37.600
<v Speaker 2>People can have better ructure exactly right.

13
00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:40.560
<v Speaker 1>But if your system is making it impossible for my

14
00:00:40.759 --> 00:00:43.759
<v Speaker 1>children to get married, then I am totally happy to

15
00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:47.079
<v Speaker 1>set your system on fire and blow it up, because

16
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:49.320
<v Speaker 1>what is the point to serve the system. I'm not

17
00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:51.399
<v Speaker 1>serving a system. I'm serving my children.

18
00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:53.920
<v Speaker 2>No, I'm not playing U Tucker cross and to start

19
00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:56.600
<v Speaker 2>the show off because I agree with what he's saying there,

20
00:00:56.640 --> 00:00:59.479
<v Speaker 2>but I am playing it because that is a sentiment.

21
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:02.119
<v Speaker 2>Obviously that was older, probably fifteen years ago that he

22
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:06.000
<v Speaker 2>said that, but that idea has become extraordinarily popular. Really,

23
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:09.480
<v Speaker 2>what he's describing is not he's saying conservatism ought to

24
00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:12.879
<v Speaker 2>deal with this, but what he's really describing as populism.

25
00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:16.480
<v Speaker 2>What he's really describing is how do the people feel

26
00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:20.159
<v Speaker 2>about your policies? How are your policies changing their feeling

27
00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:23.560
<v Speaker 2>about the ruling class. I think that the most profound

28
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:26.280
<v Speaker 2>thing he said there, and something that I relate to,

29
00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:29.319
<v Speaker 2>even though I disagree with some of his policy proposals

30
00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:32.079
<v Speaker 2>to remedy these issues, that we do agree on is

31
00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:35.799
<v Speaker 2>that if your system makes it impossible for my child

32
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:39.840
<v Speaker 2>to buy a home, I will burn it down. I

33
00:01:39.879 --> 00:01:42.359
<v Speaker 2>will burn it down. This is coming from a pretty

34
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:46.560
<v Speaker 2>pretty passive guy. You know, you don't see Tucker going

35
00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:50.159
<v Speaker 2>crazy too often, So for him to say that is profound.

36
00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:53.799
<v Speaker 2>And there's a ton of people in America that feel

37
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:57.680
<v Speaker 2>that way all walks of life. Probably i'd say half

38
00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:01.200
<v Speaker 2>of the people at this point, maybe more feel that way.

39
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:06.280
<v Speaker 2>This system's Unjust burn it down. I don't care what

40
00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:09.479
<v Speaker 2>comes next. What is is bad. This is a very

41
00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:14.439
<v Speaker 2>revolutionary mindset. This is the mindset that really lights embers

42
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:18.080
<v Speaker 2>in the hearts of Marxists oftentimes, but as you've seen

43
00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:20.479
<v Speaker 2>with the rise of Donald Trump. This is not a

44
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:23.639
<v Speaker 2>sentiment that's exclusive to the left. This is a very

45
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:28.719
<v Speaker 2>popular feeling, and I don't blame them. In many ways,

46
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:30.560
<v Speaker 2>I feel the same, and I'm sure many of you

47
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:35.479
<v Speaker 2>feel the same too, But oftentimes libertarians fail to communicate

48
00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:39.520
<v Speaker 2>our ideas in a way that actually reaches them, in

49
00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:41.919
<v Speaker 2>a way that lets them know that we actually agree

50
00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:44.960
<v Speaker 2>with what they're saying, that yes, the system is fucked up,

51
00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:49.120
<v Speaker 2>and yes we see your pain, we feel it, and

52
00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:54.400
<v Speaker 2>we share it with you, but we have policy proposals

53
00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:58.240
<v Speaker 2>that may differ from yours or from your political leaders.

54
00:02:58.599 --> 00:02:59.960
<v Speaker 2>And the reason I bring this up in the reason

55
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:02.439
<v Speaker 2>and I played that clip is because Donald Trump announced

56
00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:07.520
<v Speaker 2>today the Great re Emergence of America. I forget the

57
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:10.560
<v Speaker 2>exact phraseology that he applied to it, but what he's

58
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:14.439
<v Speaker 2>doing is he's applying tariffs broad based to almost every

59
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:17.159
<v Speaker 2>country on Earth. I mean, any country that we have

60
00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:19.680
<v Speaker 2>a trade deficit with, Boom, you get a tariff. Before

61
00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:22.120
<v Speaker 2>I get there, let me explain kind of how it works.

62
00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:24.719
<v Speaker 2>What he had initially campaigned on, and what he talked

63
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:29.199
<v Speaker 2>about often was reciprocal tariffs. That if you're applying tariffs

64
00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:32.360
<v Speaker 2>to us boom, you get the same in return, And

65
00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:35.120
<v Speaker 2>I said, as you can go back when I first

66
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:38.560
<v Speaker 2>talked about this, I don't actually think that's necessarily a

67
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:43.400
<v Speaker 2>bad idea, because I think given our consumer market, there's

68
00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:47.879
<v Speaker 2>so much desire to sell goods into America that it'll

69
00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:51.520
<v Speaker 2>probably force a tremendous amount of countries to remove their

70
00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:56.800
<v Speaker 2>tariffs to avoid our reciprocal tariffs. So like game theory,

71
00:03:57.319 --> 00:04:00.280
<v Speaker 2>it makes sense they sell more stuff to us US

72
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:02.879
<v Speaker 2>the tariffs will hurt their industry more than it will

73
00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:07.879
<v Speaker 2>hurt us. Therefore they'll probably back off. Well, his policy

74
00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:11.000
<v Speaker 2>proposal today looked quite a bit different. It's not at

75
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:15.280
<v Speaker 2>all reflective of the tariffs that they have placed on us,

76
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:18.120
<v Speaker 2>which is not a good idea in my opinion. I

77
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:20.240
<v Speaker 2>don't think I need to explain this to most people

78
00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:22.759
<v Speaker 2>in my audience, but I am not of the belief

79
00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:26.279
<v Speaker 2>that trade deficits are inherently bad. Through division of labor

80
00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:29.759
<v Speaker 2>and economies of scale, there are other factors that make

81
00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:32.560
<v Speaker 2>it make sense that some goods are going to be

82
00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:36.519
<v Speaker 2>purchased from other countries and it's not going to be equal.

83
00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:38.959
<v Speaker 2>We're not going to sell them just as many goods

84
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:42.839
<v Speaker 2>as they as they sell to us like, it's not

85
00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:45.680
<v Speaker 2>going to be perfectly even, and to expect it to

86
00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:48.319
<v Speaker 2>be perfectly even as kind of ridiculous. I mean, how

87
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:52.319
<v Speaker 2>often would you expect, like, do you expect, I don't know,

88
00:04:52.399 --> 00:04:55.639
<v Speaker 2>Guyana to buy as much from us as we like,

89
00:04:55.839 --> 00:04:59.199
<v Speaker 2>the exact same amount as we buy from them. It's

90
00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:03.000
<v Speaker 2>kind of ridiculous. So I don't think the trade deficits

91
00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:05.319
<v Speaker 2>per se are the problem. Sometimes they can get out

92
00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:07.519
<v Speaker 2>of hand, but I think the real problem was the

93
00:05:07.639 --> 00:05:10.519
<v Speaker 2>unfair trade practices that we were dealing with that so

94
00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:13.240
<v Speaker 2>many countries, and this is a problem that I don't

95
00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:18.199
<v Speaker 2>think enough libertarians talk about. Our country was being tariffed

96
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:22.600
<v Speaker 2>just bloody nose level to much of the rest of

97
00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:26.279
<v Speaker 2>the world. EU Canada tariffing us into oblivion. We're talking

98
00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:30.959
<v Speaker 2>triple digit tariffs on some goods like astronomical levels, and

99
00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:35.000
<v Speaker 2>we weren't responding. We were just like cool, our industry

100
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:37.560
<v Speaker 2>can't sell to you, you can sell to us, and

101
00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:40.079
<v Speaker 2>that's just how the world works. Well, I don't think

102
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:43.040
<v Speaker 2>that's fair, and I think that a reciprocal tariff policy

103
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:46.000
<v Speaker 2>where hey, you terrify us, we're gonna we're gonna return

104
00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:48.439
<v Speaker 2>the favor. Maybe you don't want to do that. That's

105
00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:51.079
<v Speaker 2>probably a good negotiating chip given how big our consumer

106
00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:54.759
<v Speaker 2>market is. Unfortunately, that's not what I'm doing. He is

107
00:05:55.000 --> 00:06:00.160
<v Speaker 2>just trying to deal with trade deficits and doing so

108
00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:03.439
<v Speaker 2>with tariffs. And I'll just be honest with you, for

109
00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:06.959
<v Speaker 2>the life of me, I can't understand. I cannot, just

110
00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:10.279
<v Speaker 2>to be clear, cannot understand why you would formulate it

111
00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:12.519
<v Speaker 2>that way. And just to give you an example of

112
00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:14.560
<v Speaker 2>what I'm talking about, Ford, I think he was the

113
00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:18.480
<v Speaker 2>mayor of Ontario. He said earlier today that they're prepared

114
00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:21.480
<v Speaker 2>to get rid of all Canadian tariffs if we won't

115
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:24.240
<v Speaker 2>implement ours against theirs. That you have tariffs on a

116
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:27.639
<v Speaker 2>whole number of products.

117
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:29.079
<v Speaker 1>And we'd be willing to take those off tomorrow if

118
00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:30.319
<v Speaker 1>he took all the tariffs off.

119
00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:35.800
<v Speaker 2>And I'm like, hooray, your plan worked. Trump Your reciprocal

120
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:39.399
<v Speaker 2>tariff threats scared the shit out of them. They backed off,

121
00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:42.639
<v Speaker 2>signed the deal. They don't tariff us, we don't tear

122
00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:46.720
<v Speaker 2>if tariff them. That's actually free free market trading. Boom Bob,

123
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:49.399
<v Speaker 2>your uncle, let's go now. It doesn't look as if

124
00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:52.000
<v Speaker 2>it's going to play that way, and I think that's

125
00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:55.920
<v Speaker 2>a big mistake. This now appears to me not to

126
00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:58.920
<v Speaker 2>be what he campaigned on in terms of this is

127
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:01.199
<v Speaker 2>going to be reciprocal on it, to negotiate tariffs to

128
00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:03.199
<v Speaker 2>be as low as possible to help free up the

129
00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:06.240
<v Speaker 2>free market, to actually make the market free. That's not

130
00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:09.079
<v Speaker 2>what he's doing. Now. What he's trying to do is

131
00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:12.959
<v Speaker 2>essentially make so much money from tariffs that he can

132
00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:16.800
<v Speaker 2>then reduce the income tax. Now, don't get me wrong,

133
00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:20.439
<v Speaker 2>I like that idea a lot. I would love more

134
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:23.399
<v Speaker 2>than anything, and I would absolutely trade a thousand times

135
00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:25.560
<v Speaker 2>out of a thousand, you get rid of the income

136
00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:28.600
<v Speaker 2>tax on the American people, charge tariffs on the rest

137
00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:32.240
<v Speaker 2>of the world to offset it if you can. Awesome,

138
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:37.360
<v Speaker 2>But here's the truth. Mathematically, it just doesn't work, folks.

139
00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:40.519
<v Speaker 2>You would have to bring in north of five or

140
00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:44.319
<v Speaker 2>six trillion dollars annually from tariffs. There's just no way

141
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:46.240
<v Speaker 2>you're going to be able to get that much from tariffs.

142
00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:49.040
<v Speaker 2>There's no way. I mean, I'd love to be proven wrong,

143
00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:52.240
<v Speaker 2>but it's not going to happen. Like the income tax,

144
00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:55.120
<v Speaker 2>what they take in is not going to be replaced

145
00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:57.000
<v Speaker 2>entirely from tariffs. So what we're going to end up

146
00:07:57.040 --> 00:08:01.680
<v Speaker 2>with is probably some income tax cuts, which is good,

147
00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:04.839
<v Speaker 2>but then we're gonna also have to bear the cost

148
00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:08.519
<v Speaker 2>of the tariffs that are placed on the goods that

149
00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:11.879
<v Speaker 2>we import, so we're gonna end up paying it kind of. Anyways,

150
00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:14.959
<v Speaker 2>now you can buy American and that's all good, but overall,

151
00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:20.079
<v Speaker 2>I think that it's probably not gonna work out. Now.

152
00:08:21.040 --> 00:08:23.399
<v Speaker 2>As I said to start this off, I think that

153
00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:26.680
<v Speaker 2>there's a chance that they find a glide path if

154
00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:29.879
<v Speaker 2>they use these as negotiating chips. Doesn't look like that's

155
00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:32.320
<v Speaker 2>what he's doing. It looks as if he is genuinely

156
00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:36.000
<v Speaker 2>trying to generate trillions of dollars in revenue via tariffs.

157
00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:39.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, this is a level, it's a scale of

158
00:08:40.200 --> 00:08:44.879
<v Speaker 2>trade war that I don't think can be successful. Like,

159
00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:47.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how you can do this and not

160
00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:50.360
<v Speaker 2>end up in a severe recession. It's gonna be very hard.

161
00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:53.399
<v Speaker 2>I'll just say it like that, like it's not impossible,

162
00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:55.799
<v Speaker 2>but it's gonna be challenging. And I just think that

163
00:08:55.840 --> 00:08:59.639
<v Speaker 2>it's very important that people understand this that like what

164
00:08:59.799 --> 00:09:03.279
<v Speaker 2>he is doing is essentially taking the game of monopoly

165
00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:07.080
<v Speaker 2>and changing the rules, like, he's not just moving the

166
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:11.240
<v Speaker 2>pieces around a little bit. He's not rolling doubles, he's

167
00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:13.360
<v Speaker 2>not landing on free parking and picking the cash up

168
00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:15.080
<v Speaker 2>out of the middle. I don't know if you played

169
00:09:15.080 --> 00:09:16.919
<v Speaker 2>that way, That's how I played. Always put five hundred

170
00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:19.240
<v Speaker 2>to midle. He is changing the rules of the game.

171
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:23.919
<v Speaker 2>He's basically putting a cost on every space that you

172
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:29.679
<v Speaker 2>land on for foreigners, and he's hoping or expecting that

173
00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:33.240
<v Speaker 2>they're not going to return that favor in kind. And

174
00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:36.159
<v Speaker 2>the truth is many of them are going to. Now

175
00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:39.559
<v Speaker 2>his threat is, well, if you respond, then our tariffs

176
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:42.639
<v Speaker 2>go higher. Okay, Well, now you're in a full blown

177
00:09:42.639 --> 00:09:47.039
<v Speaker 2>trade war. Who blinks first? Now everyone assumes me included,

178
00:09:47.559 --> 00:09:50.480
<v Speaker 2>that it's going to be the other countries, not America,

179
00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:53.320
<v Speaker 2>because we're the biggest consumer economy. Everybody wants to sell

180
00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:56.440
<v Speaker 2>to us. They're going to blink first. But some of

181
00:09:56.440 --> 00:09:58.720
<v Speaker 2>them are going to some of them are not going

182
00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:00.759
<v Speaker 2>to behave rationally, some of them are going to go

183
00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:04.120
<v Speaker 2>to the mat. Some of them are gonna realign their

184
00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:08.399
<v Speaker 2>trading relationships with the rest of their neighbors as opposed

185
00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:11.840
<v Speaker 2>to America. Canada is trying to realign itself with Europe.

186
00:10:12.320 --> 00:10:16.120
<v Speaker 2>Obviously you've got the Bricks Alliance. It's just going to

187
00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:19.200
<v Speaker 2>be it's going to strain our relationships with the rest

188
00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:22.559
<v Speaker 2>of the world. Now. I am not interested in being

189
00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:25.039
<v Speaker 2>the whipping boy of the rest of the world anymore.

190
00:10:25.159 --> 00:10:27.679
<v Speaker 2>I'm not interested in being the policeman of the world anymore.

191
00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:32.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm not interested in providing military service for the rest

192
00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:36.559
<v Speaker 2>of the world, or welfare via USAID or handouts, none

193
00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:39.480
<v Speaker 2>of that. So a lot of that is going to

194
00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:41.519
<v Speaker 2>put a strain on our relationship with the rest of

195
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:43.320
<v Speaker 2>the world. I'm not interested in being in the UN,

196
00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:45.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm not interested in being in the WHO, the World

197
00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:50.559
<v Speaker 2>Health Organization. I'm not interested in being in NATO. I'm

198
00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:53.360
<v Speaker 2>not interested in having much to do with the rest

199
00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:57.240
<v Speaker 2>of the world, aside from trading with them. I think

200
00:10:57.279 --> 00:11:00.200
<v Speaker 2>that is the one thing that we genuinely benefit from.

201
00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:02.639
<v Speaker 2>They produce goods at a cheaper cost than we can

202
00:11:02.919 --> 00:11:06.360
<v Speaker 2>in certain industries. We produce goods at a higher quality

203
00:11:06.440 --> 00:11:08.799
<v Speaker 2>or cheaper costs in an industry that they can't provide.

204
00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:13.039
<v Speaker 2>We then trade. I think that these things, broadly speaking,

205
00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:17.799
<v Speaker 2>that lowers consumer costs, and it increases our standard of

206
00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:22.080
<v Speaker 2>living and it benefits us on net. Now, here's the

207
00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:26.039
<v Speaker 2>area that libertarians get wrong. Oftentimes, when someone starts to

208
00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:30.840
<v Speaker 2>bitch about the de industrialization of America, they'll just explain

209
00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:33.399
<v Speaker 2>to them. They'll start to talk to them about federal reserve,

210
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:37.360
<v Speaker 2>fractional reserve, banking, inflation, like, you can take it a

211
00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:40.600
<v Speaker 2>lot of different directions from just a free market, libertarian,

212
00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:43.960
<v Speaker 2>capitalist kind of mentality. To explain away much of this,

213
00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:48.600
<v Speaker 2>you can talk about as I already did with division

214
00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:51.519
<v Speaker 2>of labor, and how this ultimately is a net benefit

215
00:11:51.559 --> 00:11:54.240
<v Speaker 2>to us. But the mistake, the mistake that people make

216
00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:58.399
<v Speaker 2>all the fucking time, is that they do not actually

217
00:11:59.039 --> 00:12:06.039
<v Speaker 2>address how justifiably pissed off they are. That, yes, your

218
00:12:06.480 --> 00:12:09.480
<v Speaker 2>birthright as an American coming up in an economy that

219
00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:12.440
<v Speaker 2>was blossoming throughout most of your life and has now

220
00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:17.080
<v Speaker 2>gone to shit, is in fact shitty and is in

221
00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:20.360
<v Speaker 2>fact something that you ought to be pissed off about.

222
00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:23.720
<v Speaker 2>And we are as as much, if not more so,

223
00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:28.039
<v Speaker 2>pissed at everything that's happened. And also you ought to

224
00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:31.240
<v Speaker 2>add in, hey, I also get your gripe. Like, think

225
00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:35.720
<v Speaker 2>about this, there's approximately fifty million men in this country

226
00:12:36.279 --> 00:12:41.440
<v Speaker 2>that are adults eighteen up, but under forty fifty million

227
00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:45.799
<v Speaker 2>that never had a good economy that came up right

228
00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:49.320
<v Speaker 2>into the teeth of eight the recession there then had

229
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:54.360
<v Speaker 2>basically a shit economy throughout the twenty teens. Then they

230
00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:58.080
<v Speaker 2>had COVID and lockdowns and inflation. On top of that.

231
00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:02.159
<v Speaker 2>They're also the generation that came up where men were

232
00:13:02.200 --> 00:13:05.200
<v Speaker 2>the bane of everyone's existence. They were the whipping boy

233
00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:08.639
<v Speaker 2>for all of civilization they had. And then and then

234
00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:13.840
<v Speaker 2>on top of that there was HR and DEI departments

235
00:13:14.039 --> 00:13:17.600
<v Speaker 2>that said you must hire women before you hire any

236
00:13:17.679 --> 00:13:20.039
<v Speaker 2>of these men. I don't give a fuck if they're

237
00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:23.600
<v Speaker 2>more qualified, I don't care. Do you think it helps

238
00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:26.919
<v Speaker 2>if you just go to that guy and you say, yeah,

239
00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:30.879
<v Speaker 2>well it's inflation in the Federal Reserve and blah blah blah, Like,

240
00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:32.559
<v Speaker 2>do you think he wants to hear any of that

241
00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:34.840
<v Speaker 2>or do you think he wants to hear from Donald

242
00:13:34.879 --> 00:13:37.240
<v Speaker 2>Trump going I'm gonna bring job I'm gonna bring your

243
00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:40.159
<v Speaker 2>jobs back. You know that job that your grandpa had

244
00:13:40.200 --> 00:13:42.840
<v Speaker 2>in that factory, that he was able to afford a

245
00:13:42.840 --> 00:13:46.440
<v Speaker 2>home and get married and have kids and afforded a retirement.

246
00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:48.960
<v Speaker 2>Oh what an idea? A vacation every once in a

247
00:13:49.000 --> 00:13:51.960
<v Speaker 2>while a Rolex when he retires. I'm bringing that back

248
00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:55.039
<v Speaker 2>for you. If you can't understand why that's appealing to

249
00:13:55.639 --> 00:14:01.080
<v Speaker 2>this immense wave of young men, well you're never going

250
00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:03.799
<v Speaker 2>to reach them. You have to grapple with that fact

251
00:14:04.480 --> 00:14:09.759
<v Speaker 2>that it sounds great, and they're going to obviously like

252
00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:13.840
<v Speaker 2>what he has to say here. It doesn't necessarily matter

253
00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:16.200
<v Speaker 2>whether or not he's going to successfully deliver on it,

254
00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:20.080
<v Speaker 2>because he's already got their votes, including mine, which I'll

255
00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:23.399
<v Speaker 2>get into in a second. If you can't actually deal

256
00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:28.039
<v Speaker 2>with their genuine grievances, they're going to disregard what you

257
00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:32.679
<v Speaker 2>have to say, and honestly, they probably should. They probably

258
00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:37.240
<v Speaker 2>shouldn't listen to you because you're not actually listening to them.

259
00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:41.879
<v Speaker 2>You're not actually hearing what they're saying. They're pissed, they've

260
00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:45.559
<v Speaker 2>been rug pulled their entire fucking lives, and they're looking

261
00:14:45.679 --> 00:14:52.120
<v Speaker 2>for revolutionary change to remedy it. And I don't blame them.

262
00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:56.279
<v Speaker 2>I think only then might they listen to your free

263
00:14:56.320 --> 00:14:59.960
<v Speaker 2>market economic explanation to everything that's going on in the world,

264
00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:04.120
<v Speaker 2>and only then maybe they'll consider the solutions that you

265
00:15:04.200 --> 00:15:08.519
<v Speaker 2>might recommend. Versus the one that Trump is offering. And

266
00:15:08.559 --> 00:15:12.879
<v Speaker 2>a good example of this is Batiya Ungar Sargon. I

267
00:15:12.879 --> 00:15:16.159
<v Speaker 2>think I pronounced that right. She went on Piers Morgan today.

268
00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:17.360
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to play this clip for you.

269
00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:20.840
<v Speaker 3>What I find so frustrating about the conversation around tariffs

270
00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:24.360
<v Speaker 3>is that we all agree on the problem.

271
00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:26.320
<v Speaker 2>We all agree.

272
00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:29.120
<v Speaker 3>That the de industrialization of America led to the downward

273
00:15:29.159 --> 00:15:33.159
<v Speaker 3>mobility of the American working class, deaths of despair, people

274
00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:34.840
<v Speaker 3>working multiple jobs and not.

275
00:15:34.840 --> 00:15:36.720
<v Speaker 2>Being able to afford the American dream.

276
00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:40.480
<v Speaker 3>We all agree that it is deeply unfair for the

277
00:15:40.559 --> 00:15:44.519
<v Speaker 3>American middle class to be bearing the burden of unfair

278
00:15:44.600 --> 00:15:48.559
<v Speaker 3>tariffs from other countries. We all agree that it is

279
00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:51.519
<v Speaker 3>great for the president to have leverage in order to

280
00:15:51.600 --> 00:15:56.600
<v Speaker 3>demand reasonable things like that country stop allowing Fentanel to

281
00:15:56.840 --> 00:16:00.519
<v Speaker 3>murder one hundred thousand Americans every year, and that Mexico

282
00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:03.720
<v Speaker 3>do its part to police its own border. And yet

283
00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:06.240
<v Speaker 3>when somebody has the courage to show up and stay

284
00:16:06.279 --> 00:16:10.639
<v Speaker 3>at Wall Street, screw you. I am waging war. I'm

285
00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:14.480
<v Speaker 3>waging class warfare on behalf of the American working class.

286
00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:16.960
<v Speaker 3>And you elites and Wall Street, you do what you

287
00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:19.360
<v Speaker 3>need to do because I'm not going to stop fighting

288
00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:23.240
<v Speaker 3>for the American working class. Suddenly everybody is sitting around going,

289
00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:26.799
<v Speaker 3>oh no, the stock market, Yeah, the stock market looks

290
00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:30.639
<v Speaker 3>like that because the rich are punishing Trump for siding

291
00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:34.960
<v Speaker 3>with the neglected and humiliated American working class over them.

292
00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:41.480
<v Speaker 2>So you get the idea, passion, understanding, sympathy, sympathy for

293
00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:44.720
<v Speaker 2>the plight of these young people. That's all good. Here's

294
00:16:44.759 --> 00:16:49.559
<v Speaker 2>where she goes astray. She's an economic ignoratus. Sorry, I'm

295
00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:51.679
<v Speaker 2>just gonna say it. I'm sure she's a nice gal.

296
00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:55.399
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure she's very nice. But she's a socialist at

297
00:16:55.440 --> 00:16:58.159
<v Speaker 2>the end of the day, and she's a maximal protectionist.

298
00:16:58.600 --> 00:17:01.759
<v Speaker 2>And she's totally not telling you the truth. And that's

299
00:17:01.799 --> 00:17:04.759
<v Speaker 2>probably what I should lead with as opposed to being

300
00:17:05.160 --> 00:17:07.799
<v Speaker 2>just a dick about it. She's not telling you the truth.

301
00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:13.599
<v Speaker 2>She's saying these This is the capitalist punishing Trump. Excuse me, hello,

302
00:17:13.759 --> 00:17:14.319
<v Speaker 2>hi Clint.

303
00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:14.559
<v Speaker 4>Here.

304
00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:21.440
<v Speaker 2>Actually Trump is fighting to assist Blackrock, the largest money

305
00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:26.240
<v Speaker 2>manager on planet Earth in human history, in acquiring the

306
00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:31.279
<v Speaker 2>Panama Canal over the CCP. Now, I will say I'd

307
00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:34.880
<v Speaker 2>probably prefer Blackrock to own it than the CCP. Sure, whatever.

308
00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:37.200
<v Speaker 2>It's not a huge difference to me, to be honest,

309
00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:38.920
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, I guess I would prefer it to be

310
00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:41.400
<v Speaker 2>an American company that we can apply leverage to. But

311
00:17:43.400 --> 00:17:48.640
<v Speaker 2>that is not fighting Wall Street. Batya, you liar. That's

312
00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:51.079
<v Speaker 2>not fight that's not fighting for the little guy. It's

313
00:17:51.119 --> 00:17:54.920
<v Speaker 2>really not. It's fighting for Wall Street. It's fighting on

314
00:17:55.039 --> 00:17:59.960
<v Speaker 2>behalf of Wall Street in a massive way, an astronomical

315
00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:05.079
<v Speaker 2>cool way. But you see how how compelling a rant

316
00:18:05.160 --> 00:18:08.279
<v Speaker 2>like that is. If you set aside your brain, and

317
00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:11.119
<v Speaker 2>you set aside all of the facts that she gets wrong,

318
00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:14.759
<v Speaker 2>you just go, that sounds great. Look at it. She

319
00:18:14.920 --> 00:18:17.960
<v Speaker 2>is fired up. She's fighting for the little guy, the

320
00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:22.359
<v Speaker 2>middle class, the poor against Wall Street. That sounds great

321
00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:25.640
<v Speaker 2>if you don't have, you know, a chicken in the

322
00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:28.319
<v Speaker 2>pot and a pot to piss and you're like, fuck, yeah,

323
00:18:28.359 --> 00:18:31.039
<v Speaker 2>this lady rocks. And Trump is my guy. And I'm

324
00:18:31.039 --> 00:18:33.319
<v Speaker 2>not saying Trump shouldn't be your guy. I'm not saying that.

325
00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:36.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm just saying it's really important that you actually tell

326
00:18:36.200 --> 00:18:39.799
<v Speaker 2>the truth, that you actually say who's gonna benefit from

327
00:18:39.799 --> 00:18:42.799
<v Speaker 2>this stuff? And I made a post a little bit

328
00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:45.559
<v Speaker 2>earlier tonight. I said a potentially grim prediction for you,

329
00:18:46.519 --> 00:18:51.720
<v Speaker 2>deporting illegals while simultaneously adding tariffs ostensibly to create factory jobs,

330
00:18:52.079 --> 00:18:56.079
<v Speaker 2>will end up creating major labor shortages. Now, the reason

331
00:18:56.119 --> 00:18:57.519
<v Speaker 2>I said that is because I don't think that we

332
00:18:57.680 --> 00:19:02.000
<v Speaker 2>have enough people that actually want those jobs, or more importantly,

333
00:19:02.039 --> 00:19:06.039
<v Speaker 2>are capable of doing industrial level labor, at least not

334
00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:07.920
<v Speaker 2>in the short term. It's going to take a year's

335
00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:10.559
<v Speaker 2>to ramp up and train all these people anyways, And

336
00:19:10.599 --> 00:19:13.119
<v Speaker 2>I said that void will likely be filled by robots,

337
00:19:13.319 --> 00:19:15.640
<v Speaker 2>not people. I hope I'll be proven wrong on this.

338
00:19:16.279 --> 00:19:18.279
<v Speaker 2>And I just want to read you a reply that

339
00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:20.880
<v Speaker 2>I got because it was so over the top. This

340
00:19:21.000 --> 00:19:24.440
<v Speaker 2>is exactly the energy or the audience that someone like

341
00:19:24.480 --> 00:19:28.680
<v Speaker 2>Batya and Trump speaks to and resonates with tremendously. He said,

342
00:19:28.759 --> 00:19:31.640
<v Speaker 2>you are right, Clint, we should embrace the complete destruction

343
00:19:31.680 --> 00:19:34.519
<v Speaker 2>of the middle class. I'm sure your children will appreciate

344
00:19:34.519 --> 00:19:36.359
<v Speaker 2>the fact that you stood up for the globalists while

345
00:19:36.400 --> 00:19:39.279
<v Speaker 2>they struggle to figure out what service economy job they

346
00:19:39.279 --> 00:19:43.319
<v Speaker 2>prefer Maurista or gas station sales click while renting from

347
00:19:43.319 --> 00:19:45.799
<v Speaker 2>either Black Rock or Vanguard. After they gobble up all

348
00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:49.079
<v Speaker 2>the homes that have gone into foreclosure, when the market collapses,

349
00:19:49.359 --> 00:19:52.880
<v Speaker 2>no worries though. They can order uber eats that they

350
00:19:52.920 --> 00:19:55.759
<v Speaker 2>finance at thirty two percent interest, which is currently the

351
00:19:55.759 --> 00:19:58.720
<v Speaker 2>grim reality of the current status quo. Someday the grift

352
00:19:58.759 --> 00:20:00.759
<v Speaker 2>YouTube money will dry up. I look forward to you

353
00:20:00.839 --> 00:20:02.960
<v Speaker 2>ringing up my pack of smokes. So, yeah, I got

354
00:20:03.119 --> 00:20:06.200
<v Speaker 2>under his skin. I don't really know why, but I

355
00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:08.039
<v Speaker 2>wanted to break some of this down, and you know,

356
00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:10.359
<v Speaker 2>sitting inside the fact that he was a total asshole

357
00:20:10.359 --> 00:20:13.319
<v Speaker 2>to me. Some funny one liners in there, some funny zingers,

358
00:20:13.359 --> 00:20:17.079
<v Speaker 2>here's the real issue. I agree with his analysis of

359
00:20:17.119 --> 00:20:20.720
<v Speaker 2>the current paradigm. We just we just differ on the solution.

360
00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:25.359
<v Speaker 2>I think that just to give you some actual solutions

361
00:20:25.359 --> 00:20:27.799
<v Speaker 2>that I think would help us tremendously. Yeah, we need

362
00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:29.960
<v Speaker 2>to go back to sound money. That's all true. Like

363
00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:32.799
<v Speaker 2>it's not going to happen anytime in the near future.

364
00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:36.440
<v Speaker 2>Just being honest, it's not gonna happen. So in the interim,

365
00:20:36.599 --> 00:20:40.680
<v Speaker 2>what are some things that could happen. Well, you could

366
00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:43.960
<v Speaker 2>cut back on federal spending. Trump allegedly is doing that

367
00:20:44.079 --> 00:20:47.480
<v Speaker 2>via DOGE. I hope that it is ultimately cemented by Congress,

368
00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:50.359
<v Speaker 2>and in fact, they do cut back at least to

369
00:20:50.400 --> 00:20:54.119
<v Speaker 2>twenty nineteen spending levels. For the love of god, I

370
00:20:54.200 --> 00:20:58.319
<v Speaker 2>realized it's like forty percent cuts, But it's just twenty

371
00:20:58.400 --> 00:21:00.960
<v Speaker 2>nineteen levels. Like, if we can't survive off of that,

372
00:21:01.519 --> 00:21:05.000
<v Speaker 2>something's terribly fucked up, and we shouldn't be spending at

373
00:21:05.039 --> 00:21:08.440
<v Speaker 2>pandemic lockdown levels for the rest of eternity. We're going

374
00:21:08.440 --> 00:21:12.519
<v Speaker 2>to go bankrupt, obviously, So that would be a good start.

375
00:21:12.759 --> 00:21:15.759
<v Speaker 2>That would reduce the inflationary pressure that we've been dealing with.

376
00:21:16.200 --> 00:21:19.000
<v Speaker 2>Probably the biggest second thing he can do aside from that,

377
00:21:19.799 --> 00:21:24.599
<v Speaker 2>would be to cut the regulatory tape to free up

378
00:21:24.599 --> 00:21:28.200
<v Speaker 2>the economy. Well, actually that's either the second or the

379
00:21:28.279 --> 00:21:32.680
<v Speaker 2>third thing. Probably the second thing plummet income taxes, even

380
00:21:32.720 --> 00:21:36.039
<v Speaker 2>if you still have to keep this absurd progressive income

381
00:21:36.079 --> 00:21:40.039
<v Speaker 2>tax where you tax the rich very aggressively, even though

382
00:21:40.079 --> 00:21:42.400
<v Speaker 2>most of them at the highest levels end up getting

383
00:21:42.440 --> 00:21:45.400
<v Speaker 2>their tax burden reduced a lot. If you could, if

384
00:21:45.440 --> 00:21:49.200
<v Speaker 2>you could bring down income taxes on the middle class

385
00:21:49.640 --> 00:21:52.720
<v Speaker 2>and the upper middle class or upper middle class like

386
00:21:52.839 --> 00:21:56.599
<v Speaker 2>as much as possible, that would help a lot. So

387
00:21:57.160 --> 00:22:00.079
<v Speaker 2>those would be the things that I would prescribe to

388
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:03.759
<v Speaker 2>deal with some of this gentleman's very over the top

389
00:22:03.799 --> 00:22:06.640
<v Speaker 2>gripes against me, which I don't even know why he

390
00:22:06.720 --> 00:22:09.519
<v Speaker 2>was mad. I'm just I'm literally just analyzing and saying, like,

391
00:22:09.960 --> 00:22:11.640
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that we're going to have enough people

392
00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:14.079
<v Speaker 2>to fill these jobs, and I'm guessing that many of

393
00:22:14.119 --> 00:22:16.599
<v Speaker 2>these jobs are going to be filled by robots and automation.

394
00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:19.559
<v Speaker 2>And guess what, I'm probably going to be right, because

395
00:22:19.759 --> 00:22:23.160
<v Speaker 2>that's already happening. Like, you already have robots and automation

396
00:22:23.240 --> 00:22:26.400
<v Speaker 2>taking a lot of industrial labor across the rest of

397
00:22:26.400 --> 00:22:28.640
<v Speaker 2>the world. The reason we don't pay attention to it

398
00:22:28.680 --> 00:22:31.519
<v Speaker 2>is because we've already outsourced most of our industry to

399
00:22:31.519 --> 00:22:34.559
<v Speaker 2>the rest of the world. But once it's brought back here,

400
00:22:35.039 --> 00:22:36.640
<v Speaker 2>a lot of it's going to be done by robots.

401
00:22:37.079 --> 00:22:41.279
<v Speaker 2>That's just true. Now, all that being said, I think

402
00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:45.079
<v Speaker 2>that it would be good if we could produce more

403
00:22:45.680 --> 00:22:49.680
<v Speaker 2>physical goods here so that we aren't as reliant on

404
00:22:49.720 --> 00:22:52.240
<v Speaker 2>the rest of the world. I think that would be good.

405
00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:55.680
<v Speaker 2>That doesn't mean that I support everything that Trump does

406
00:22:55.799 --> 00:22:58.319
<v Speaker 2>to make that come to pass. I think that the

407
00:22:58.359 --> 00:23:02.160
<v Speaker 2>primary reason that we have we have ultimately outsourced so

408
00:23:02.240 --> 00:23:05.400
<v Speaker 2>much of our labor in our production is simply because

409
00:23:05.440 --> 00:23:07.920
<v Speaker 2>our standard of living is much higher and people aren't

410
00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:09.880
<v Speaker 2>willing to work for as little as the rest of

411
00:23:09.880 --> 00:23:15.480
<v Speaker 2>the world, and therefore you can produce these items cheaper elsewhere,

412
00:23:16.200 --> 00:23:17.200
<v Speaker 2>so corporations do.

413
00:23:17.960 --> 00:23:18.079
<v Speaker 4>So.

414
00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:20.480
<v Speaker 2>Trump says to himself, Okay, well we're going to apply

415
00:23:20.559 --> 00:23:23.759
<v Speaker 2>tariffs to make it so it's an even playing field. Well,

416
00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:26.079
<v Speaker 2>it's not really making it eat and even now, is it.

417
00:23:26.079 --> 00:23:29.880
<v Speaker 2>It's actually tilting it towards America, which is fine. He's

418
00:23:29.880 --> 00:23:31.839
<v Speaker 2>the president of the United States and he ought to

419
00:23:31.880 --> 00:23:35.880
<v Speaker 2>favor America. But the ultimate outcome, like what really matters

420
00:23:35.920 --> 00:23:40.119
<v Speaker 2>here is does it actually increase the standard of living

421
00:23:40.440 --> 00:23:44.160
<v Speaker 2>for Americans? Does it actually alleviate all of those gripes

422
00:23:44.160 --> 00:23:48.359
<v Speaker 2>that the gentleman had that lit me on fire. Does

423
00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:52.880
<v Speaker 2>it actually allow for you not to be using Uber

424
00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:55.000
<v Speaker 2>eats and for you not to be a Barisa for

425
00:23:55.039 --> 00:23:58.079
<v Speaker 2>the rest of your life and paying twenty two percent

426
00:23:58.160 --> 00:24:02.400
<v Speaker 2>on credit to buyer uber it's on debt. What else?

427
00:24:02.759 --> 00:24:05.880
<v Speaker 2>Does it allow your children or you for that matter,

428
00:24:06.039 --> 00:24:09.839
<v Speaker 2>to buy a home. Do his policies create that future?

429
00:24:10.440 --> 00:24:14.119
<v Speaker 2>Does it bring us back to nineteen sixty five or

430
00:24:14.160 --> 00:24:18.799
<v Speaker 2>whatever I'm arguing now? I don't think it will. Now

431
00:24:18.920 --> 00:24:22.440
<v Speaker 2>that does not mean that it won't have some positive results.

432
00:24:22.759 --> 00:24:25.720
<v Speaker 2>It undoubtedly will. I mean, as I said earlier, what

433
00:24:25.799 --> 00:24:28.720
<v Speaker 2>he's doing is such a change to the function, like

434
00:24:28.799 --> 00:24:31.640
<v Speaker 2>to how things have been. It's such a just the

435
00:24:31.720 --> 00:24:35.880
<v Speaker 2>status quo is being obliterated by these policies. So it's

436
00:24:35.960 --> 00:24:38.880
<v Speaker 2>going to change a lot, and some of the changes

437
00:24:38.960 --> 00:24:43.559
<v Speaker 2>will be good some but on net I'm not so sure.

438
00:24:43.920 --> 00:24:46.480
<v Speaker 2>And this is another thing that I think both Republicans

439
00:24:46.559 --> 00:24:49.640
<v Speaker 2>right now are getting wrong and libertarians almost always get wrong,

440
00:24:50.240 --> 00:24:55.359
<v Speaker 2>is that they don't think about how the electorate is

441
00:24:55.400 --> 00:24:58.720
<v Speaker 2>going to respond to what you're doing. Now, let me explain.

442
00:24:59.000 --> 00:25:02.559
<v Speaker 2>I think that there is a chance that Trump's policies,

443
00:25:02.680 --> 00:25:07.880
<v Speaker 2>if given a decade, could actually really change things for

444
00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:09.960
<v Speaker 2>the better. Let me go into further detail and explain

445
00:25:09.960 --> 00:25:13.599
<v Speaker 2>this further, because it's necessary if you actually do what

446
00:25:13.759 --> 00:25:16.559
<v Speaker 2>he's what he's claiming he's going to do, and you

447
00:25:16.759 --> 00:25:21.160
<v Speaker 2>increase these tariffs and you basically you have this full

448
00:25:21.200 --> 00:25:23.720
<v Speaker 2>on trade war with the rest of the world, and

449
00:25:23.759 --> 00:25:27.400
<v Speaker 2>you stay the course and you finally get it to

450
00:25:27.519 --> 00:25:30.680
<v Speaker 2>like calm down and let things start to settle and

451
00:25:30.759 --> 00:25:34.640
<v Speaker 2>corporations start to settle and acclimate to the tariffs structure

452
00:25:34.720 --> 00:25:39.119
<v Speaker 2>and taxation structure and everything else, and train up the

453
00:25:39.279 --> 00:25:42.039
<v Speaker 2>local labor force to take some of these jobs, to

454
00:25:42.039 --> 00:25:44.480
<v Speaker 2>build up robots and automation to take some of these jobs,

455
00:25:44.599 --> 00:25:46.559
<v Speaker 2>or to fill some of these some of this demand.

456
00:25:46.720 --> 00:25:50.519
<v Speaker 2>And you allow for that to all play out over years,

457
00:25:51.640 --> 00:25:54.039
<v Speaker 2>four or five years from now, you might be to

458
00:25:54.079 --> 00:25:57.519
<v Speaker 2>a point of oh and sorry. The biggest key is

459
00:25:57.799 --> 00:25:59.920
<v Speaker 2>because of the tariff and the revenues that you're creating,

460
00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:03.279
<v Speaker 2>you then just bury the income tax. You take it

461
00:26:03.319 --> 00:26:07.200
<v Speaker 2>from thirty five percent down to ten or fifteen percent. Okay,

462
00:26:07.240 --> 00:26:11.440
<v Speaker 2>now we're talking. Now. The GOP may be re elected,

463
00:26:11.839 --> 00:26:17.880
<v Speaker 2>now beloved, third presidential term may be a possibility. I'm

464
00:26:17.880 --> 00:26:20.680
<v Speaker 2>not coming on that, by the way, I don't support it.

465
00:26:21.240 --> 00:26:26.000
<v Speaker 2>But in the interim, what he's doing is going to

466
00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:29.039
<v Speaker 2>create so much tumult I mean, it's going to be

467
00:26:29.400 --> 00:26:32.880
<v Speaker 2>so chaotic that I think that there's a real chance

468
00:26:32.920 --> 00:26:36.200
<v Speaker 2>that you never see that, that you lose in the

469
00:26:36.240 --> 00:26:39.319
<v Speaker 2>mid terms, then you have a Democrat majority. They fucking

470
00:26:39.759 --> 00:26:42.640
<v Speaker 2>constantly thrown up even more roadblocks than they already are,

471
00:26:42.880 --> 00:26:45.440
<v Speaker 2>even though they're in the minority. You already tonight, you

472
00:26:45.480 --> 00:26:48.279
<v Speaker 2>already had some of the tariffs against Canada got overturned

473
00:26:48.279 --> 00:26:51.160
<v Speaker 2>by the Senate because Rand Paul a bunch of handful

474
00:26:51.200 --> 00:26:55.359
<v Speaker 2>of other Republican senators cross the aisle and voted against

475
00:26:55.359 --> 00:26:57.599
<v Speaker 2>the tariffs on Canada. What I'm saying is, if you

476
00:26:57.680 --> 00:27:01.759
<v Speaker 2>can't convince the American people that this is not going

477
00:27:01.839 --> 00:27:05.240
<v Speaker 2>to be a quick fix, this is going to suck

478
00:27:05.559 --> 00:27:08.359
<v Speaker 2>for a couple of years. But if you stick with me,

479
00:27:08.480 --> 00:27:12.880
<v Speaker 2>here's my vision, here's where we're going. Give me five years.

480
00:27:12.960 --> 00:27:15.160
<v Speaker 2>And he's only got a four year presidential turn, so

481
00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:17.000
<v Speaker 2>that's kind of a hard sell. But you know what

482
00:27:17.000 --> 00:27:19.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying, Like it's going to take a long time.

483
00:27:19.640 --> 00:27:22.480
<v Speaker 2>It might take longer than five years, honestly, Like this

484
00:27:22.519 --> 00:27:26.559
<v Speaker 2>transition could take ten. Especially with AI and automation all

485
00:27:26.559 --> 00:27:30.640
<v Speaker 2>coming online and robots all coming lines online simultaneously, it's

486
00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:34.680
<v Speaker 2>going to be such upheaval for people. I think that

487
00:27:34.799 --> 00:27:37.839
<v Speaker 2>his framework might be able to work if you had

488
00:27:38.039 --> 00:27:42.400
<v Speaker 2>a decade, but you don't. And if this is as

489
00:27:42.440 --> 00:27:44.839
<v Speaker 2>painful as I think it can be or could be

490
00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:48.039
<v Speaker 2>near term, you're definitely not going to be able to

491
00:27:48.079 --> 00:27:52.240
<v Speaker 2>implement this. And JD Vance in twenty eight doesn't have

492
00:27:52.319 --> 00:27:56.160
<v Speaker 2>a shot and then you end up with Gavin Newsom

493
00:27:56.279 --> 00:27:59.920
<v Speaker 2>with VPAOC. Like, this is what I'm talking about that

494
00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:04.519
<v Speaker 2>libertarians get wrong. It's like we're so accustomed to never

495
00:28:04.599 --> 00:28:08.640
<v Speaker 2>having political power that we just like we just prescribe

496
00:28:08.720 --> 00:28:11.839
<v Speaker 2>things based off of our principles and don't consider the

497
00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:14.680
<v Speaker 2>fact that like, oh, yeah, but you'd be well I'm

498
00:28:14.680 --> 00:28:16.400
<v Speaker 2>not saying all of you, but some of you. You

499
00:28:16.480 --> 00:28:18.279
<v Speaker 2>just don't consider the fact that, like, you're never going

500
00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:20.079
<v Speaker 2>to be able to implement this, and you're going to

501
00:28:20.079 --> 00:28:23.799
<v Speaker 2>be thrown out office immediately. If not assassinated, it's not

502
00:28:23.880 --> 00:28:26.519
<v Speaker 2>gonna happen. Dude, Like, would you like to end the

503
00:28:26.519 --> 00:28:28.640
<v Speaker 2>Federal Reserve? Yeah, me too. Well, if you were to

504
00:28:28.720 --> 00:28:32.920
<v Speaker 2>end it overnight, you would plummet, plummet the economy into

505
00:28:32.960 --> 00:28:35.079
<v Speaker 2>a depression the likes of what you've never seen before,

506
00:28:35.759 --> 00:28:37.960
<v Speaker 2>and you would be voted out and people would never

507
00:28:38.039 --> 00:28:40.480
<v Speaker 2>vote for you again. Now that's assuming that you actually

508
00:28:40.559 --> 00:28:43.000
<v Speaker 2>survive long enough to end the Federal Reserve, which you

509
00:28:43.079 --> 00:28:46.279
<v Speaker 2>probably wouldn't. But this is what I'm saying, is like

510
00:28:46.480 --> 00:28:51.359
<v Speaker 2>you have to think about practicality. Can I actually accomplish

511
00:28:51.440 --> 00:28:54.720
<v Speaker 2>this or can't I? And I think that's I guess

512
00:28:54.720 --> 00:28:57.720
<v Speaker 2>That's what I'm trying to appeal to Trump voters to consider,

513
00:28:57.920 --> 00:29:02.720
<v Speaker 2>is do you think that if I'm right, that these

514
00:29:02.759 --> 00:29:07.000
<v Speaker 2>tariffs actually add to the prices rising domestically because some

515
00:29:07.039 --> 00:29:08.839
<v Speaker 2>of the goods we're not going to be able to

516
00:29:09.160 --> 00:29:12.519
<v Speaker 2>replace domestically, or we're going to still continue to buy

517
00:29:12.599 --> 00:29:14.720
<v Speaker 2>imported goods and we're going to end up paying those tariffs,

518
00:29:14.720 --> 00:29:16.559
<v Speaker 2>which means that you end up paying more out of pocket,

519
00:29:16.759 --> 00:29:20.359
<v Speaker 2>so you feel as if you're more poorer. Now, if

520
00:29:20.400 --> 00:29:23.480
<v Speaker 2>you're one of the people that gets an industrial job

521
00:29:23.680 --> 00:29:26.039
<v Speaker 2>twelve months from now and you're making one hundred and

522
00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:27.880
<v Speaker 2>twenty k a year, you may be like, yeah, my

523
00:29:27.960 --> 00:29:30.759
<v Speaker 2>life's better and this is all good, But how many

524
00:29:31.359 --> 00:29:34.160
<v Speaker 2>voters are actually going to end up benefiting short term,

525
00:29:34.200 --> 00:29:37.599
<v Speaker 2>near term as a consequence of trumps policies. It's not

526
00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:39.759
<v Speaker 2>going to be everybody, It's not going to be half

527
00:29:39.799 --> 00:29:43.000
<v Speaker 2>of people. It's going to be a fraction of the population. Basically,

528
00:29:43.079 --> 00:29:47.440
<v Speaker 2>what I'm trying to explain is I think, honestly that

529
00:29:47.839 --> 00:29:49.960
<v Speaker 2>near term this is going to create so much pain

530
00:29:50.319 --> 00:29:52.519
<v Speaker 2>that it's going to make it almost impossible for the

531
00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:55.799
<v Speaker 2>GOP to prevail moving forward, and as a consequence, the

532
00:29:55.880 --> 00:29:58.440
<v Speaker 2>lunatics get back in power, and I don't want to

533
00:29:58.480 --> 00:30:03.000
<v Speaker 2>see that. So I'm reaching out out of love to

534
00:30:03.079 --> 00:30:07.039
<v Speaker 2>explain why I think this may be a problem. Now,

535
00:30:07.119 --> 00:30:11.119
<v Speaker 2>let me say, I do hope that I'm wrong, and

536
00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:17.319
<v Speaker 2>I do hope that Trump's bomb bass negotiating style is

537
00:30:17.400 --> 00:30:21.319
<v Speaker 2>ultimately going to settle in the land of the Seine

538
00:30:21.839 --> 00:30:26.839
<v Speaker 2>where Yeah, I talked crazy shit to Canada and then

539
00:30:26.839 --> 00:30:29.160
<v Speaker 2>the Senate shot me down, and now we're just we're

540
00:30:29.279 --> 00:30:34.359
<v Speaker 2>mutually lowering our tariffs and now the market's free and

541
00:30:34.400 --> 00:30:37.599
<v Speaker 2>the Clint Russells of the world get their wish toada.

542
00:30:38.079 --> 00:30:40.640
<v Speaker 2>I think that'd be fantastic, And maybe that's how this

543
00:30:40.759 --> 00:30:43.759
<v Speaker 2>all plays out ultimately, that all of these threats of

544
00:30:43.799 --> 00:30:47.000
<v Speaker 2>tariffs get Mexico to treat us better and Canada to

545
00:30:47.000 --> 00:30:50.400
<v Speaker 2>treat us more fairly, and many other countries do the same,

546
00:30:50.440 --> 00:30:54.640
<v Speaker 2>and ultimately there's a net reduction in tariffs on global

547
00:30:54.640 --> 00:30:59.680
<v Speaker 2>trade and ultimately an increase on net in free market trade.

548
00:31:00.279 --> 00:31:03.319
<v Speaker 2>All good, then I think the economy could blossom. If

549
00:31:03.359 --> 00:31:07.039
<v Speaker 2>you do that while simultaneously lowering income taxes and lowering

550
00:31:07.079 --> 00:31:11.119
<v Speaker 2>the regulatory bodies, you could actually turn this economy back

551
00:31:11.160 --> 00:31:13.440
<v Speaker 2>on quite a bit, especially if you get rid of

552
00:31:13.640 --> 00:31:16.160
<v Speaker 2>ESG and DEI and you start to actually bring back

553
00:31:16.200 --> 00:31:18.720
<v Speaker 2>in all of these abandoned young men into the workforce.

554
00:31:18.759 --> 00:31:20.839
<v Speaker 2>And by the way, ladies, this is not hate that

555
00:31:20.880 --> 00:31:23.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm not talking about you. I'm just saying that for

556
00:31:23.119 --> 00:31:26.960
<v Speaker 2>the past fifteen years, men have been alienated in a

557
00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:30.839
<v Speaker 2>way that you have not been. Can we agree on that?

558
00:31:30.880 --> 00:31:32.799
<v Speaker 2>I hope we can agree on that. So that's the

559
00:31:32.839 --> 00:31:35.240
<v Speaker 2>reason I'm speaking to the concerns of young men right now.

560
00:31:35.960 --> 00:31:37.359
<v Speaker 2>And that's why I think that it's going to be

561
00:31:37.400 --> 00:31:40.039
<v Speaker 2>really interesting to see. It's going to be really interesting

562
00:31:40.079 --> 00:31:44.000
<v Speaker 2>to see. And just to circle back to that very

563
00:31:44.039 --> 00:31:49.640
<v Speaker 2>angry response that I got, I understand the anger. I

564
00:31:49.720 --> 00:31:53.640
<v Speaker 2>feel the anger myself. I'm mad as hell that the

565
00:31:53.720 --> 00:31:58.960
<v Speaker 2>economy does not work well at all. I had to

566
00:31:59.000 --> 00:32:01.920
<v Speaker 2>shut down my fuck and million dollar company as a

567
00:32:01.960 --> 00:32:06.599
<v Speaker 2>consequence of the government. I am more upset than you.

568
00:32:06.680 --> 00:32:11.240
<v Speaker 2>Probably I'm very fucking pissed too, Okay, so you know

569
00:32:11.680 --> 00:32:15.039
<v Speaker 2>in the Oppression Olympics, I'm right there with you, Bud,

570
00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:18.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm just as pissed. But it just doesn't change reality,

571
00:32:18.359 --> 00:32:23.079
<v Speaker 2>Like it doesn't change how economics work, like how I

572
00:32:23.200 --> 00:32:28.880
<v Speaker 2>feel about this is secondary to what his policies will create.

573
00:32:29.359 --> 00:32:32.160
<v Speaker 2>It's not enough to just be a revolutionary. You have

574
00:32:32.240 --> 00:32:35.440
<v Speaker 2>to have an ideas that match the revolution and create

575
00:32:35.480 --> 00:32:39.920
<v Speaker 2>a better future. If you just roll forward with your

576
00:32:39.960 --> 00:32:43.480
<v Speaker 2>passion and you light everything on fire with no plans

577
00:32:43.559 --> 00:32:47.319
<v Speaker 2>on how to rebuild, well, then you're just a chaos agent.

578
00:32:47.839 --> 00:32:51.799
<v Speaker 2>You're not actually a reformer or a revolutionary that leads

579
00:32:51.839 --> 00:32:56.400
<v Speaker 2>to a brighter tomorrow. You're a revolutionary that leads to ashes,

580
00:32:56.759 --> 00:33:01.200
<v Speaker 2>like most Marxist revolutionaries have throughout him history, in fact,

581
00:33:01.359 --> 00:33:05.680
<v Speaker 2>basically all of them. So I guess that's my main

582
00:33:05.720 --> 00:33:07.880
<v Speaker 2>appeal to you guys, is that I hope that you'll

583
00:33:07.880 --> 00:33:11.880
<v Speaker 2>think this through. Despite all of the genuine inks that

584
00:33:11.960 --> 00:33:15.880
<v Speaker 2>you're dealing with and I share, try and be rational

585
00:33:15.920 --> 00:33:19.359
<v Speaker 2>in your analysis as to how this plays out and

586
00:33:19.440 --> 00:33:23.640
<v Speaker 2>what creates the best future not just for you in

587
00:33:23.720 --> 00:33:26.759
<v Speaker 2>two to four to five years, but for your grandkids

588
00:33:26.759 --> 00:33:28.000
<v Speaker 2>and your prog need there after.

589
00:33:28.200 --> 00:33:31.240
<v Speaker 4>Coming days. There will be complaints from the globalists and

590
00:33:31.279 --> 00:33:35.160
<v Speaker 4>the outsources and special interests and the fake news always

591
00:33:35.319 --> 00:33:39.960
<v Speaker 4>fake news, will always complain, But never forget. Every prediction

592
00:33:40.079 --> 00:33:43.119
<v Speaker 4>our opponent's made about trade for the last thirty years

593
00:33:43.160 --> 00:33:46.640
<v Speaker 4>has been proven totally wrong. They were wrong about NAFTA,

594
00:33:47.079 --> 00:33:50.119
<v Speaker 4>they were wrong about China. They were wrong about the

595
00:33:50.279 --> 00:33:53.839
<v Speaker 4>Transpecific Partnership, which would have been a disaster. If I

596
00:33:53.920 --> 00:33:56.720
<v Speaker 4>didn't terminate it. If I didn't turn that terminate that

597
00:33:57.880 --> 00:34:00.960
<v Speaker 4>United Auto Workers, you would have had no oh jobs

598
00:34:01.079 --> 00:34:04.519
<v Speaker 4>in this country. You would have had no jobs. I

599
00:34:04.640 --> 00:34:08.760
<v Speaker 4>was all going to other countries in my first term.

600
00:34:08.880 --> 00:34:13.280
<v Speaker 4>They said tariffs would crash the economy. Instead we built

601
00:34:13.280 --> 00:34:15.760
<v Speaker 4>the greatest economy in the history of the world. And again,

602
00:34:16.280 --> 00:34:19.239
<v Speaker 4>I have great respect for presidency of China, great respect

603
00:34:19.320 --> 00:34:23.559
<v Speaker 4>for China. But they were taking tremendous advantage of them

604
00:34:23.760 --> 00:34:26.960
<v Speaker 4>of us, and I commend them for that. I say, hey,

605
00:34:27.000 --> 00:34:29.519
<v Speaker 4>if you can get away with it, that's okay. But

606
00:34:29.920 --> 00:34:33.920
<v Speaker 4>you know, they understand exactly what's happening, and they probably

607
00:34:34.000 --> 00:34:36.480
<v Speaker 4>most of them are saying it's about time they did something.

608
00:34:36.519 --> 00:34:39.000
<v Speaker 4>But and they're gonna fight, and they're gonna fight for

609
00:34:39.159 --> 00:34:42.800
<v Speaker 4>everyone's gonna fight. You know. It's like I say to

610
00:34:42.840 --> 00:34:44.760
<v Speaker 4>the leaders, look, you got to take care of your country,

611
00:34:44.800 --> 00:34:47.000
<v Speaker 4>but we have to start taking care of our country now.

612
00:34:47.239 --> 00:34:49.119
<v Speaker 4>We can't do what we've been doing for the last

613
00:34:49.159 --> 00:34:49.719
<v Speaker 4>fifty years.

614
00:34:49.960 --> 00:34:52.239
<v Speaker 2>So Trump's as I've said many times, Trump's sales pitch

615
00:34:52.360 --> 00:34:56.199
<v Speaker 2>sounds very reasonable. They've been taking advantage of us. I'm

616
00:34:56.280 --> 00:35:00.239
<v Speaker 2>ending it. That's all there is to it. Not exactly

617
00:35:00.280 --> 00:35:04.360
<v Speaker 2>what he's doing. Given that the tariffs are not reciprocal tariffs,

618
00:35:04.360 --> 00:35:08.360
<v Speaker 2>they're based off of trade deficits. That's a little different.

619
00:35:08.599 --> 00:35:10.360
<v Speaker 2>Here's the other thing, and this is something that's a

620
00:35:10.360 --> 00:35:12.880
<v Speaker 2>little bit wonky, So stick with me on this, especially

621
00:35:12.920 --> 00:35:17.840
<v Speaker 2>if you're not ensconced in Austrian economics. But the trade

622
00:35:17.840 --> 00:35:20.960
<v Speaker 2>deficits are a product of us being the reserve currency

623
00:35:20.960 --> 00:35:23.719
<v Speaker 2>of the world, that they they take our dollars, we

624
00:35:23.760 --> 00:35:26.400
<v Speaker 2>take their goods like that's how it works. And then

625
00:35:26.599 --> 00:35:28.880
<v Speaker 2>as a consequence of that, the US dollar has become

626
00:35:29.079 --> 00:35:32.320
<v Speaker 2>the global reserve currency that so many central banks and

627
00:35:32.480 --> 00:35:35.679
<v Speaker 2>corporations all throughout the world use the US dollar to

628
00:35:35.760 --> 00:35:38.960
<v Speaker 2>settle their trade agreements. And that has been to our

629
00:35:38.960 --> 00:35:43.440
<v Speaker 2>benefit because it has allowed us, well, in this one arena,

630
00:35:43.480 --> 00:35:46.119
<v Speaker 2>it's been to our benefit. It has allowed us to

631
00:35:46.199 --> 00:35:49.159
<v Speaker 2>live way above our means and borrow way more. I'm

632
00:35:49.159 --> 00:35:51.320
<v Speaker 2>talking from the governmental level, not from the personal level.

633
00:35:51.360 --> 00:35:55.039
<v Speaker 2>It's been to our destruction largely, but from the governmental level,

634
00:35:55.159 --> 00:35:57.639
<v Speaker 2>it has allowed them to spend and borrow and print

635
00:35:57.639 --> 00:36:00.280
<v Speaker 2>and do all sorts of insane fucking shit that has

636
00:36:00.360 --> 00:36:03.880
<v Speaker 2>made us feel rich while we were buried in debt

637
00:36:04.000 --> 00:36:06.039
<v Speaker 2>on net. Not a good thing for the people, but

638
00:36:06.159 --> 00:36:09.440
<v Speaker 2>for the government. Like, if you lose that ability, which

639
00:36:09.480 --> 00:36:12.400
<v Speaker 2>this trade war does have the capacity to do, I

640
00:36:12.440 --> 00:36:16.079
<v Speaker 2>want to be very clear about that, it could, well,

641
00:36:16.119 --> 00:36:19.199
<v Speaker 2>then we're in for a lot of trouble. And that's

642
00:36:19.239 --> 00:36:24.719
<v Speaker 2>what brings me to kind of the more theoretical conspiracy theorizing,

643
00:36:25.880 --> 00:36:29.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, part of the show. And it makes me wonder, honestly,

644
00:36:29.159 --> 00:36:33.480
<v Speaker 2>if Trump is is, if he's circling away from the dollar,

645
00:36:33.519 --> 00:36:37.760
<v Speaker 2>if like they've been talking about doing stable coins, and

646
00:36:37.840 --> 00:36:39.880
<v Speaker 2>I'll just be honest with you, I don't understand it enough.

647
00:36:39.880 --> 00:36:41.519
<v Speaker 2>I need to bring on I don't know, Guy Swann

648
00:36:41.599 --> 00:36:44.360
<v Speaker 2>or somebody to talk this through. But it does make

649
00:36:44.400 --> 00:36:46.079
<v Speaker 2>me wonder if they're going to try and get away

650
00:36:46.119 --> 00:36:49.760
<v Speaker 2>from the US dollar in some way replace it. I

651
00:36:49.840 --> 00:36:52.639
<v Speaker 2>don't know how if Jubilee wipe out the national debt,

652
00:36:52.639 --> 00:36:55.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what the fuck they're thinking, But you

653
00:36:55.079 --> 00:36:58.119
<v Speaker 2>have to maintain I think you have to maintain trade

654
00:36:58.119 --> 00:37:01.639
<v Speaker 2>deficits so that there's enough US dollars throughout the rest

655
00:37:01.639 --> 00:37:04.119
<v Speaker 2>of the world by which they can settle their uh,

656
00:37:04.280 --> 00:37:07.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, their their deals. And if you don't do that,

657
00:37:08.320 --> 00:37:10.199
<v Speaker 2>I just think that they're going to have to start

658
00:37:10.280 --> 00:37:12.519
<v Speaker 2>to trade in a different currency, in which case you

659
00:37:12.559 --> 00:37:15.440
<v Speaker 2>lose that ability to borrow in print and spend into

660
00:37:15.440 --> 00:37:18.199
<v Speaker 2>oblivion like you have been. And I guess maybe that

661
00:37:18.199 --> 00:37:21.440
<v Speaker 2>that process is coming to its its natural end anyways,

662
00:37:21.480 --> 00:37:24.440
<v Speaker 2>because we're thirty six, thirty seven, you know, trillion in debt,

663
00:37:24.480 --> 00:37:26.559
<v Speaker 2>We're already paying more than a trillion in interest, and

664
00:37:26.599 --> 00:37:30.559
<v Speaker 2>maybe Trump's economic advisors are saying, look, this house of

665
00:37:30.599 --> 00:37:33.400
<v Speaker 2>cars is over anyways, and we've got to we've got

666
00:37:33.440 --> 00:37:36.400
<v Speaker 2>to rip the band aid off and it can either

667
00:37:36.440 --> 00:37:39.599
<v Speaker 2>happen naturally or we can try and do it on

668
00:37:39.639 --> 00:37:41.719
<v Speaker 2>our own. Sorry. As you can tell, I'm thinking this

669
00:37:41.800 --> 00:37:44.079
<v Speaker 2>through as I talk about it, but as I do

670
00:37:44.159 --> 00:37:47.320
<v Speaker 2>with the show, to be honest, But I just think

671
00:37:47.320 --> 00:37:50.519
<v Speaker 2>it's a really it's a really interesting, you know question

672
00:37:50.639 --> 00:37:52.880
<v Speaker 2>that we should all be asking ourselves, like what is

673
00:37:53.000 --> 00:37:57.079
<v Speaker 2>the real game plan here? Like there's big, big changes happening.

674
00:37:57.199 --> 00:38:00.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean, for instance, Elon, you know, Elon kind of

675
00:38:00.800 --> 00:38:06.079
<v Speaker 2>has this huge one eighty politically goes hardcore Democrat, becomes

676
00:38:06.119 --> 00:38:10.239
<v Speaker 2>Republican aka you know the dark Maga. The biggest Trump

677
00:38:10.280 --> 00:38:15.559
<v Speaker 2>supporter on the planet. Well, he is actively creating these,

678
00:38:16.400 --> 00:38:20.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, unbelievable robots through I don't know if it's

679
00:38:20.920 --> 00:38:22.599
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if it's Tesla, I don't know what

680
00:38:22.719 --> 00:38:25.000
<v Speaker 2>one of his companies, one of his four you know,

681
00:38:25.119 --> 00:38:28.880
<v Speaker 2>Fortune five hundred companies. He's creating these really amazing, like

682
00:38:28.960 --> 00:38:33.480
<v Speaker 2>lifelog lifelike robots that are uh. He thinks there's gonna

683
00:38:33.519 --> 00:38:35.760
<v Speaker 2>be hundreds of thousands of them in a couple of years,

684
00:38:35.800 --> 00:38:38.719
<v Speaker 2>millions of them in a decade, and basically it's going

685
00:38:38.760 --> 00:38:40.400
<v Speaker 2>to replace so much of the labor force. And I'm like,

686
00:38:40.440 --> 00:38:43.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm just thinking to myself, like, if I want to

687
00:38:43.039 --> 00:38:46.000
<v Speaker 2>put on my very black pilled I hate everybody and

688
00:38:46.079 --> 00:38:48.119
<v Speaker 2>everybody's out to get me, hat, I can do that.

689
00:38:48.800 --> 00:38:51.159
<v Speaker 2>And He's just thinking like, yeah, well, I'm gonna get

690
00:38:51.159 --> 00:38:55.000
<v Speaker 2>in bed with Trump because I'm going to ultimately like, yes,

691
00:38:55.039 --> 00:38:58.400
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna bring back industry domestically, but we're not gonna

692
00:38:58.480 --> 00:39:02.519
<v Speaker 2>actually give those jobs to Trump supporters. We're gonna basically

693
00:39:02.559 --> 00:39:05.960
<v Speaker 2>just replace industry domestically with these robots which I'm producing

694
00:39:06.480 --> 00:39:08.840
<v Speaker 2>to the tune of you know, billions and billions of

695
00:39:08.840 --> 00:39:12.840
<v Speaker 2>dollars into my pockets. It's possible. I'm just saying it's

696
00:39:12.960 --> 00:39:14.920
<v Speaker 2>very possible. You know. There's just a lot of a

697
00:39:14.960 --> 00:39:16.679
<v Speaker 2>lot of weirdness here, a lot of a lot of

698
00:39:16.679 --> 00:39:19.840
<v Speaker 2>things that you gotta you gotta really think deeply about,

699
00:39:20.000 --> 00:39:23.920
<v Speaker 2>like what what is the actual what is the actual

700
00:39:23.920 --> 00:39:27.559
<v Speaker 2>game plan here? Like where is this really headed? Setting

701
00:39:27.639 --> 00:39:32.000
<v Speaker 2>aside all of the advertising spin and I'm just here

702
00:39:32.039 --> 00:39:34.960
<v Speaker 2>to look out for the little guy, like like Batia

703
00:39:35.000 --> 00:39:37.840
<v Speaker 2>tried to do. It's like you're getting the Panama Canal

704
00:39:37.880 --> 00:39:40.920
<v Speaker 2>for Black Rock. Spare me that this is for the

705
00:39:40.960 --> 00:39:45.800
<v Speaker 2>little guy. It's the biggest corporation ever. Oh god, it's

706
00:39:45.840 --> 00:39:49.239
<v Speaker 2>just very dangerous. And anyways, now that I'm done black

707
00:39:49.239 --> 00:39:51.480
<v Speaker 2>pilling for a second, I want to address something because

708
00:39:51.679 --> 00:39:54.920
<v Speaker 2>I got into a big, you know, ex spat with

709
00:39:55.079 --> 00:40:01.639
<v Speaker 2>Michael Tracy, who is a perennially disheveled gentlemen never looks

710
00:40:01.679 --> 00:40:03.960
<v Speaker 2>as if he's seen a shower in his life. And yes,

711
00:40:04.079 --> 00:40:07.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm starting off with ad hominem because I he came

712
00:40:07.119 --> 00:40:09.559
<v Speaker 2>at me sideways and I have no idea why er

713
00:40:09.639 --> 00:40:11.480
<v Speaker 2>I'll pull it up. I really don't even understand what

714
00:40:11.480 --> 00:40:13.039
<v Speaker 2>this guy's beef is with me, to be honest, but

715
00:40:13.599 --> 00:40:15.079
<v Speaker 2>this is what he had to say. So I posted

716
00:40:15.119 --> 00:40:19.639
<v Speaker 2>this yesterday because there's been a lot of crazy Israel

717
00:40:19.679 --> 00:40:23.760
<v Speaker 2>stuff and you know, crazy war drum beating when it

718
00:40:23.760 --> 00:40:26.079
<v Speaker 2>comes to Iran. I said, yes, I voted for Trump. No,

719
00:40:26.199 --> 00:40:29.559
<v Speaker 2>I will not support Lindsey Graham. Trump endorsed Lindsey Graham

720
00:40:29.559 --> 00:40:31.760
<v Speaker 2>and Randy Fine. I said, no, I will not support

721
00:40:31.800 --> 00:40:34.880
<v Speaker 2>Lindsey Graham, Randy Fine, hate speech laws for Aziel or

722
00:40:35.480 --> 00:40:37.880
<v Speaker 2>or with Iran. None of you have to support shitty

723
00:40:37.920 --> 00:40:41.000
<v Speaker 2>ideas just because Trump told you to. And I think

724
00:40:41.039 --> 00:40:44.719
<v Speaker 2>that my reasoning for having said that is fairly obvious, right.

725
00:40:44.800 --> 00:40:49.320
<v Speaker 2>It's like, I'm just trying to basically give voice to

726
00:40:50.079 --> 00:40:53.280
<v Speaker 2>not the voiceless, but the Trump supporters that disagree with

727
00:40:53.320 --> 00:40:56.480
<v Speaker 2>some of the nonsense, that are in fact opposed to

728
00:40:56.760 --> 00:41:00.519
<v Speaker 2>another war in the Middle East, which I know, my opinion,

729
00:41:00.960 --> 00:41:04.360
<v Speaker 2>way more than half of Trump supporters are totally adamantly

730
00:41:04.599 --> 00:41:06.760
<v Speaker 2>opposed to another war in the Middle East. So I

731
00:41:06.800 --> 00:41:09.119
<v Speaker 2>don't think I'm talking out of school here. But it's like,

732
00:41:09.480 --> 00:41:12.800
<v Speaker 2>if you saw these endorsements for Randy Fine, who's this

733
00:41:12.920 --> 00:41:16.400
<v Speaker 2>fucking bloodthirsty psychopath who just run who just won his

734
00:41:16.480 --> 00:41:21.360
<v Speaker 2>congressional seat in central Florida. This guy fucking sucks. But

735
00:41:22.239 --> 00:41:25.239
<v Speaker 2>as a consequence of that win, you've got every other

736
00:41:25.320 --> 00:41:31.239
<v Speaker 2>MAGA influencer, not other, just every mega influencer saying, fucking

737
00:41:31.800 --> 00:41:35.239
<v Speaker 2>Democrats spent ten million dollars trying to win this house

738
00:41:35.320 --> 00:41:37.360
<v Speaker 2>race in Florida and they got beat by ten points,

739
00:41:37.400 --> 00:41:40.239
<v Speaker 2>and blah blah blah, and they're all just celebrating, totally,

740
00:41:40.679 --> 00:41:44.480
<v Speaker 2>totally ignoring the fact that Randy Fine fucking is a psychopath,

741
00:41:44.760 --> 00:41:47.440
<v Speaker 2>like a legitimate psychopath. He's got these other tweets where

742
00:41:47.480 --> 00:41:51.480
<v Speaker 2>he's celebrating the death and destruction of the Palestinians, saying, basically,

743
00:41:51.559 --> 00:41:55.119
<v Speaker 2>I want to see the streets of Gaza overflow with blood,

744
00:41:55.360 --> 00:42:01.039
<v Speaker 2>like he's a fucking blood soaked psychopath for real, just dark,

745
00:42:01.320 --> 00:42:03.880
<v Speaker 2>dark human being. I just wanted to as someone who

746
00:42:03.880 --> 00:42:05.639
<v Speaker 2>did vote for Trump, I just wanted to like let

747
00:42:05.719 --> 00:42:08.000
<v Speaker 2>people know, yeah, it's okay to vote for fucking Trump

748
00:42:08.079 --> 00:42:10.760
<v Speaker 2>and to still support Trump and to say I don't

749
00:42:10.800 --> 00:42:13.639
<v Speaker 2>agree with some of these endorsements and know the fuck

750
00:42:13.800 --> 00:42:18.000
<v Speaker 2>we are not fighting a war for Israel against Iran.

751
00:42:18.199 --> 00:42:22.280
<v Speaker 2>We're not gonna do it. So Michael Tracy responds, He says, quote,

752
00:42:22.960 --> 00:42:25.599
<v Speaker 2>he's Matt. You know, he's quoting me to joke about

753
00:42:25.719 --> 00:42:27.320
<v Speaker 2>or to clown on me. He says, Yes, I voted

754
00:42:27.360 --> 00:42:29.480
<v Speaker 2>for Trump, but I don't support the core initiatives of

755
00:42:29.519 --> 00:42:33.199
<v Speaker 2>his administration. I'm somehow not embarrassed by this, which I

756
00:42:33.239 --> 00:42:36.679
<v Speaker 2>found very funny and I immediately lit him on fire.

757
00:42:36.719 --> 00:42:42.199
<v Speaker 2>But that's setting that aside. Those aren't the core initiatives. Okay,

758
00:42:42.840 --> 00:42:46.719
<v Speaker 2>like you can you can pretend as if Trump campaigned

759
00:42:46.880 --> 00:42:51.239
<v Speaker 2>on starting a war with Iran, but he didn't. Yeah,

760
00:42:51.280 --> 00:42:54.559
<v Speaker 2>he said some off the cuff remarks that definitely gave

761
00:42:54.599 --> 00:42:57.039
<v Speaker 2>me pause when it came to Iran. I'm not gonna

762
00:42:57.079 --> 00:43:00.159
<v Speaker 2>lie about that. But he also said I want the

763
00:43:00.199 --> 00:43:02.400
<v Speaker 2>best thing, you know, best thing for the Iranians, and

764
00:43:02.440 --> 00:43:04.639
<v Speaker 2>I want peace. I'm the president of peace. He would

765
00:43:04.639 --> 00:43:06.159
<v Speaker 2>say that too, and he would say I'm going to

766
00:43:06.199 --> 00:43:12.400
<v Speaker 2>negotiate peace for you know, with Russia in Ukraine. That

767
00:43:12.519 --> 00:43:15.159
<v Speaker 2>was that was the primary message. He was saying, I

768
00:43:15.239 --> 00:43:17.320
<v Speaker 2>don't want to continue I don't want to see people

769
00:43:17.400 --> 00:43:19.400
<v Speaker 2>keep dying. How many times do you say that on

770
00:43:19.719 --> 00:43:23.440
<v Speaker 2>campaign trail. So to say that, you know, Lindsey Graham

771
00:43:23.480 --> 00:43:25.760
<v Speaker 2>and Randy Fine and going to war with Iran are

772
00:43:25.760 --> 00:43:29.760
<v Speaker 2>the primary tenants of his campaign is just a lie. Michael,

773
00:43:30.360 --> 00:43:33.960
<v Speaker 2>You lying, disheveled son of a gun. You what are

774
00:43:34.000 --> 00:43:35.000
<v Speaker 2>you talking about.

775
00:43:36.239 --> 00:43:36.360
<v Speaker 4>Now?

776
00:43:36.800 --> 00:43:38.400
<v Speaker 2>I just want to be very clear, and you can

777
00:43:38.400 --> 00:43:40.199
<v Speaker 2>actually go back and watch this, and I would encourage

778
00:43:40.199 --> 00:43:43.079
<v Speaker 2>you to do so. When I think that I titled

779
00:43:43.119 --> 00:43:45.400
<v Speaker 2>it something like why I'm voting, Why I'm voting for

780
00:43:45.480 --> 00:43:48.320
<v Speaker 2>Donald Trump. I did it the week before the election,

781
00:43:49.079 --> 00:43:54.880
<v Speaker 2>and I explained very explicitly that my biggest concern about

782
00:43:54.960 --> 00:43:59.880
<v Speaker 2>Donald Trump's second presidency was the inordinate amount of campaign

783
00:44:00.039 --> 00:44:03.920
<v Speaker 2>donations that he receives from Israel, his relationship with Israel broadly,

784
00:44:04.559 --> 00:44:09.800
<v Speaker 2>and whether or not he would actually go to that

785
00:44:10.000 --> 00:44:13.320
<v Speaker 2>level of starting war with Iran. I said it explicitly.

786
00:44:13.599 --> 00:44:16.800
<v Speaker 2>I said that was the biggest danger in voting for

787
00:44:16.880 --> 00:44:21.559
<v Speaker 2>Donald Trump. But given the binary nature of our elections,

788
00:44:21.599 --> 00:44:24.440
<v Speaker 2>I also said that we are on the precipice of

789
00:44:24.440 --> 00:44:26.920
<v Speaker 2>World War three against the largest nuclear power on Earth

790
00:44:26.960 --> 00:44:31.559
<v Speaker 2>in Russia. Trump is campaigning on negotiating peace, while Kamala

791
00:44:31.559 --> 00:44:36.280
<v Speaker 2>Harris is campaigning on the exact same policy of no

792
00:44:36.440 --> 00:44:39.320
<v Speaker 2>communications with the largest nuclear power on Earth while we

793
00:44:39.440 --> 00:44:43.280
<v Speaker 2>ramp up a proxy war on their southern border. Not

794
00:44:43.400 --> 00:44:47.480
<v Speaker 2>to mention, on top of that, she was also campaigning

795
00:44:47.559 --> 00:44:51.920
<v Speaker 2>on the continuation of DEI and race, Marxism, and essentially

796
00:44:52.199 --> 00:44:58.199
<v Speaker 2>everything that sucks. There was one percent, maybe of her

797
00:44:58.239 --> 00:45:01.079
<v Speaker 2>campaign promises that I agree with, and I'm being gracious,

798
00:45:01.280 --> 00:45:04.400
<v Speaker 2>probably closer to zero percent. I hated everything that she

799
00:45:04.480 --> 00:45:06.840
<v Speaker 2>had to say, and I hate everything about the Democrats,

800
00:45:07.119 --> 00:45:09.519
<v Speaker 2>and I like about sixty percent of what Trump has

801
00:45:09.559 --> 00:45:15.159
<v Speaker 2>to say, just being honest. So I came to the conclusion, yes,

802
00:45:15.440 --> 00:45:19.159
<v Speaker 2>sometimes the lesser of two evils in an existential moment

803
00:45:19.880 --> 00:45:24.199
<v Speaker 2>is better. And I voted for Trump. And obviously the

804
00:45:24.239 --> 00:45:27.840
<v Speaker 2>connotations that are the insinuation that mister Tracy is making

805
00:45:27.840 --> 00:45:30.519
<v Speaker 2>towards me is that I ought to be ashamed of it,

806
00:45:30.960 --> 00:45:33.000
<v Speaker 2>and I just wanted to be very clear. I'm not.

807
00:45:34.360 --> 00:45:36.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm absolutely not. And there's a lot of anarchists and

808
00:45:36.880 --> 00:45:39.440
<v Speaker 2>a lot of libertarians that are still fucking furious with

809
00:45:39.480 --> 00:45:43.960
<v Speaker 2>me for voting for Trump. Sorry, I'm not sorry. I'm

810
00:45:44.000 --> 00:45:47.280
<v Speaker 2>still not sorry. Now. I will say this just to

811
00:45:47.480 --> 00:45:53.119
<v Speaker 2>give you your due. If if he drives us into

812
00:45:53.159 --> 00:45:56.880
<v Speaker 2>a depression, and starts a war against Iran or a

813
00:45:56.920 --> 00:45:59.559
<v Speaker 2>wider war, World War three. Well, then you get to

814
00:45:59.559 --> 00:46:02.159
<v Speaker 2>have your victory lap where you go Haha, Clint was

815
00:46:02.199 --> 00:46:05.079
<v Speaker 2>so stupid. Hey, you voted for this, Well we all

816
00:46:05.159 --> 00:46:09.559
<v Speaker 2>die in a nuclear fucking fireball. Congrats to you. You

817
00:46:09.599 --> 00:46:12.760
<v Speaker 2>get to be right in that moment. Until then, though,

818
00:46:13.239 --> 00:46:16.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna let this thing play out. And yes, i

819
00:46:16.119 --> 00:46:21.800
<v Speaker 2>still believe that Trump was the better option available. And yes,

820
00:46:22.559 --> 00:46:26.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm still thrilled with much of what he's done. The

821
00:46:26.559 --> 00:46:29.639
<v Speaker 2>USAID funding freeze and then shut down and then ninety

822
00:46:29.639 --> 00:46:33.719
<v Speaker 2>percent headcount cut and then merging the rest of them

823
00:46:33.760 --> 00:46:37.079
<v Speaker 2>into the State Department is a big step in the

824
00:46:37.119 --> 00:46:39.760
<v Speaker 2>right direction. And by the way, mister Tracy, he didn't

825
00:46:39.760 --> 00:46:42.639
<v Speaker 2>campaign on that. That just happened, And that was fucking

826
00:46:43.320 --> 00:46:45.800
<v Speaker 2>like a wish list item that I didn't even know

827
00:46:45.880 --> 00:46:48.719
<v Speaker 2>was a possibility. So I'm very happy about that. Yes,

828
00:46:48.760 --> 00:46:51.840
<v Speaker 2>he freed Ross Albert. Yes he's an ending the Department

829
00:46:51.880 --> 00:46:54.519
<v Speaker 2>of Education. Things that I would have never imagined that

830
00:46:54.519 --> 00:46:59.599
<v Speaker 2>i'd see in my lifetime, they happened. I'm thrilled about that. Okay. Also,

831
00:47:00.480 --> 00:47:03.320
<v Speaker 2>Bobby Kennedy today, despite all of my concerns and his

832
00:47:03.480 --> 00:47:06.719
<v Speaker 2>weird allegiance to Israel fired some somewhere in the neighborhood

833
00:47:06.760 --> 00:47:10.719
<v Speaker 2>of ten or twenty thousand employees from HHS today. Fucking awesome.

834
00:47:11.519 --> 00:47:15.800
<v Speaker 2>This is fantastic. That's so good. So what I have

835
00:47:15.880 --> 00:47:19.119
<v Speaker 2>seen from Trump's second term as of now, in terms

836
00:47:19.159 --> 00:47:23.480
<v Speaker 2>of positives, is the biggest cut in the administrative state

837
00:47:24.480 --> 00:47:29.400
<v Speaker 2>in my lifetime. And it's not close. So do I

838
00:47:29.519 --> 00:47:34.400
<v Speaker 2>regret that? Should I be ashamed of it? No, and

839
00:47:34.480 --> 00:47:39.679
<v Speaker 2>fuck you for thinking that I should. I'm thrilled it's

840
00:47:39.719 --> 00:47:43.360
<v Speaker 2>it is. I mean, if you just look at the good,

841
00:47:44.039 --> 00:47:47.119
<v Speaker 2>it is so much better than any fucking presidency in

842
00:47:47.159 --> 00:47:50.039
<v Speaker 2>my lifetime. It's not even close. So no, I don't

843
00:47:50.039 --> 00:47:52.880
<v Speaker 2>regret it now. That is not to say that the

844
00:47:52.920 --> 00:47:56.360
<v Speaker 2>good can't be outweighed by the bad if he goes

845
00:47:56.400 --> 00:47:59.559
<v Speaker 2>to war with Iran and China gets involved and Russia

846
00:47:59.559 --> 00:48:03.280
<v Speaker 2>gets involve and we end up in a fucking huge war. Yeah, dude,

847
00:48:03.679 --> 00:48:06.360
<v Speaker 2>I fucking made a huge mistake. I picked the wrong guy.

848
00:48:06.840 --> 00:48:10.159
<v Speaker 2>But at the same time, it could have happened under Kamala.

849
00:48:10.360 --> 00:48:13.159
<v Speaker 2>Let's not be fucking ridiculous here. Of course it could

850
00:48:13.159 --> 00:48:18.639
<v Speaker 2>have happened with her. So what whatever, like I'm just

851
00:48:18.800 --> 00:48:22.920
<v Speaker 2>so tired of the fucking the purity spiraling. I really

852
00:48:22.960 --> 00:48:26.440
<v Speaker 2>really am, especially because it's just it's just so obvious

853
00:48:26.480 --> 00:48:29.239
<v Speaker 2>to me that what We've seen in the first one

854
00:48:29.360 --> 00:48:33.039
<v Speaker 2>hundred days of Trump's presidency have been the best things

855
00:48:33.079 --> 00:48:35.360
<v Speaker 2>I've ever seen in the first hundred days of a

856
00:48:35.400 --> 00:48:43.000
<v Speaker 2>presidency ever. It has been the best by far. And

857
00:48:43.079 --> 00:48:46.800
<v Speaker 2>maybe it gets a lot better. Maybe Cash Mattel and

858
00:48:46.880 --> 00:48:50.199
<v Speaker 2>Dan Bongino actually fucking go out for the Epstein people,

859
00:48:50.400 --> 00:48:53.280
<v Speaker 2>and maybe we actually get the real deal truth about

860
00:48:53.280 --> 00:48:57.800
<v Speaker 2>the JFK and RFK and MLK stuff. Maybe I don't

861
00:48:57.840 --> 00:49:01.079
<v Speaker 2>know those are all TBD, but justin the now, just

862
00:49:01.119 --> 00:49:04.519
<v Speaker 2>in what we do know, Yeah, it's been fucking good, dude,

863
00:49:04.679 --> 00:49:08.360
<v Speaker 2>It's been pretty fucking good. And if he ultimately replaces

864
00:49:08.400 --> 00:49:11.000
<v Speaker 2>the income tax with the External Revenue Service as he

865
00:49:11.039 --> 00:49:15.920
<v Speaker 2>continues to promise, that's a fucking huge win, huge huge win. Okay,

866
00:49:17.360 --> 00:49:19.719
<v Speaker 2>none of that could happen, and maybe it won't, but

867
00:49:19.800 --> 00:49:21.920
<v Speaker 2>if it doesn't, it was still the better of the

868
00:49:21.920 --> 00:49:26.480
<v Speaker 2>two options. So to answer your question, mister Tracy and

869
00:49:26.559 --> 00:49:30.599
<v Speaker 2>everybody that bombarded me with hate, no I don't regret it,

870
00:49:30.920 --> 00:49:33.440
<v Speaker 2>and no I'm not ashamed and no, I don't care

871
00:49:33.440 --> 00:49:36.519
<v Speaker 2>how you feel about it. I don't. I'm only addressing

872
00:49:36.599 --> 00:49:40.239
<v Speaker 2>it publicly because I thought it'd be fun to, you know,

873
00:49:40.599 --> 00:49:46.280
<v Speaker 2>tell you to fuck off. I'm sure I'm gonna pisslotter

874
00:49:46.320 --> 00:49:49.000
<v Speaker 2>you off by saying this, But I don't care because

875
00:49:49.000 --> 00:49:51.320
<v Speaker 2>that's how I feel. And I think I'm right. I

876
00:49:51.360 --> 00:49:54.559
<v Speaker 2>think that if you actually analyze this in any sort

877
00:49:54.559 --> 00:49:57.679
<v Speaker 2>of impartial fashion, it's very hard to say that I

878
00:49:57.760 --> 00:50:00.760
<v Speaker 2>was wrong, that this wasn't the better of the two

879
00:50:00.840 --> 00:50:04.480
<v Speaker 2>paths that we had in front of us. So we'll see.

880
00:50:05.320 --> 00:50:07.480
<v Speaker 2>And if I end up being proven wrong, well then

881
00:50:07.519 --> 00:50:13.360
<v Speaker 2>we all die anyways. So I don't know, man, I

882
00:50:13.400 --> 00:50:16.480
<v Speaker 2>hope we don't. I really don't. And and just to

883
00:50:16.519 --> 00:50:19.360
<v Speaker 2>be very clear, there's a chance that I got duped.

884
00:50:19.400 --> 00:50:21.880
<v Speaker 2>And that's the whole plan. Like I just to put

885
00:50:21.920 --> 00:50:25.480
<v Speaker 2>on my again black pailt about everything, Maximell, you know,

886
00:50:25.519 --> 00:50:29.920
<v Speaker 2>Whitney Web conspiracizing, Like there's a real chance there is.

887
00:50:30.079 --> 00:50:32.559
<v Speaker 2>She could be right that this is all you know,

888
00:50:32.679 --> 00:50:35.239
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna bring in AI, We're gonna bring in robots,

889
00:50:35.280 --> 00:50:37.440
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna replace the labor force. Then we're gonna bring

890
00:50:37.519 --> 00:50:40.639
<v Speaker 2>in UBI to keep people you know, keep the useless

891
00:50:40.639 --> 00:50:45.039
<v Speaker 2>eaters happy in full and then and then we're gonna

892
00:50:45.039 --> 00:50:48.599
<v Speaker 2>bring in CBDCs, and then we're gonna go to war

893
00:50:48.639 --> 00:50:52.440
<v Speaker 2>against Iran, create the Greater Israel project, and then we're

894
00:50:52.440 --> 00:50:55.480
<v Speaker 2>gonna take over you know, Canada and Greenland and basically

895
00:50:55.639 --> 00:51:00.400
<v Speaker 2>implement the NWL. You know, I can I can do this.

896
00:51:00.559 --> 00:51:03.280
<v Speaker 2>I can do it when he does, like sure, it's

897
00:51:03.320 --> 00:51:07.079
<v Speaker 2>all possible. It's all possible. I just choose to be optimistic,

898
00:51:07.239 --> 00:51:09.360
<v Speaker 2>and I choose to use what little influence I have

899
00:51:10.000 --> 00:51:12.840
<v Speaker 2>to try and course correct and to try and galvanize

900
00:51:12.840 --> 00:51:15.760
<v Speaker 2>what I know exists, which is a genuine anti war

901
00:51:16.079 --> 00:51:19.440
<v Speaker 2>spirit that exists amongst MAGA and Maha for that matter,

902
00:51:21.000 --> 00:51:24.079
<v Speaker 2>to try and get these fucking scumbag politicians to do

903
00:51:24.159 --> 00:51:27.440
<v Speaker 2>our bidding. That's the only power we have, Folks. Once

904
00:51:27.480 --> 00:51:29.360
<v Speaker 2>you cast a vote for him, or if you don't

905
00:51:29.360 --> 00:51:32.320
<v Speaker 2>cast to vote for him, doesn't really matter. The only

906
00:51:32.400 --> 00:51:36.199
<v Speaker 2>power you have at this junction is your voice is

907
00:51:36.239 --> 00:51:38.559
<v Speaker 2>to say I don't like this, I do like that,

908
00:51:39.280 --> 00:51:41.599
<v Speaker 2>And that's all I do every day. That's my old job.

909
00:51:41.639 --> 00:51:44.920
<v Speaker 2>At this point, I go, that's good, this sucks, and

910
00:51:44.960 --> 00:51:47.480
<v Speaker 2>then it goes viral. One way or the other, and

911
00:51:48.000 --> 00:51:50.039
<v Speaker 2>believe it or not, a lot of the shit that

912
00:51:50.079 --> 00:51:53.000
<v Speaker 2>we say on the Internet, especially when it creates trends,

913
00:51:53.480 --> 00:51:56.559
<v Speaker 2>it does change their policy making. I've seen it happen

914
00:51:56.599 --> 00:51:59.599
<v Speaker 2>in real time. They have proposed stuff and then backed off.

915
00:51:59.639 --> 00:52:02.440
<v Speaker 2>They've delivered things that they didn't plan on delivering because

916
00:52:02.440 --> 00:52:06.039
<v Speaker 2>we were so pissed about X, Y or Z like this.

917
00:52:06.039 --> 00:52:11.039
<v Speaker 2>This White House absolutely does listen to the Internet. It does,

918
00:52:11.159 --> 00:52:15.000
<v Speaker 2>and Twitter in particular, Akax, I don't make the rules.

919
00:52:15.000 --> 00:52:17.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm just telling you the truth. We have real fucking

920
00:52:17.639 --> 00:52:19.920
<v Speaker 2>influence over there, and I'm going to use it as

921
00:52:19.960 --> 00:52:22.480
<v Speaker 2>best I can because guess what, when I was tweeting,

922
00:52:22.960 --> 00:52:24.960
<v Speaker 2>Biden administration didn't give a fuck what I had to say.

923
00:52:25.360 --> 00:52:28.320
<v Speaker 2>I apprompch you that. So yeah, I like having a

924
00:52:28.320 --> 00:52:31.039
<v Speaker 2>little influence. And Dave's got the fucking phone number. Actually

925
00:52:31.119 --> 00:52:34.000
<v Speaker 2>I do too. But don't tell anybody of Bobby Kennedy.

926
00:52:34.159 --> 00:52:36.360
<v Speaker 2>For God's sakes, he's got a relationship with the guy

927
00:52:37.119 --> 00:52:39.760
<v Speaker 2>and Donald Trump Junior and all these other people, and

928
00:52:39.760 --> 00:52:41.679
<v Speaker 2>they all follow us and they see our shit go

929
00:52:41.760 --> 00:52:45.880
<v Speaker 2>viral all the time. I'm just saying, like, if you

930
00:52:46.000 --> 00:52:50.239
<v Speaker 2>think that I'm the problem, the guy who's spending all

931
00:52:50.360 --> 00:52:53.320
<v Speaker 2>day every day going do not go to war with Iran.

932
00:52:53.719 --> 00:52:58.159
<v Speaker 2>Don't fucking do it. Don't do it. This is everything

933
00:52:58.199 --> 00:53:01.119
<v Speaker 2>you ran against. If you fucking do this, your legacy

934
00:53:01.199 --> 00:53:04.840
<v Speaker 2>is garbage. You are done for and midterms are done.

935
00:53:05.519 --> 00:53:08.840
<v Speaker 2>Vance is done. The entire GOP's done. Like that's the

936
00:53:09.079 --> 00:53:11.639
<v Speaker 2>that's the fucking bell im ringing. And if you hear

937
00:53:11.679 --> 00:53:14.440
<v Speaker 2>me doing that and your first thought is, see, you

938
00:53:14.559 --> 00:53:17.199
<v Speaker 2>fucking idiot. You shouldn't have voted for him as opposed

939
00:53:17.239 --> 00:53:19.480
<v Speaker 2>to Hey, thanks Clint for trying to keep us out
