Okay, we've been live.
We've been live.
We've been live.
So I got to take crazy story what happened.
By the way, episode number 63 this morning, I'm driving.
I rarely do this.
Drive?
I'm driving to the office.
And I'm watching videos, which you shouldn't be doing.
I don't recommend it to anybody.
I'm watching videos while I'm driving.
And I'm getting to the right lane, which
is the lane to go into the office.
And I cut somebody off.
And this person gets upset at me. And I put my hand up to say, hey, you know, office. And I cut somebody off. And this person gets upset at me.
And I put my hand up to say, hey, you know,
I think I just cut somebody off.
The old code of the road.
Yeah, yeah, I always do that because I've done
a million of times.
And a person I cut off was a friend, right?
I said, okay.
I cut off Vanessa.
And I'm like, it's Vanessa.
I think it's Vanessa.
Cause she shook her ass.
You wanna like, how are you doing this?
I'm like, and then she slowed down and I went past. I'm like, okay, I think she's Vanessa because she shook her as she won't like Tell me you're doing this
And then she slowed down and I went past I'm like okay
I think she's still sitting on the car because she doesn't want to think I got fine
But I knew was I came and told you about it today
There was no altercation
Listen, this is why I need somebody to drive me.
You should have a big money to get your show.
I think I'm getting close to one.
You can have a green screen in a car.
I think I'm getting, here's the challenges.
I like driving.
I actually enjoy, you know how there's people that enjoy.
I enjoy driving.
Matter of fact, I've been looking for a good stick shift
to buy a sports car stick shift.
And you know, they're doing all these automatic stuff.
Everything's going more to automatic automatic.
I want to know the best stick shift car,
race car to buy.
What the hell are you gonna do?
I'm gonna do a driving shift.
I'm just gonna show you what you're gonna do
with the stick shift.
Tell me, you get driven in, but you drive home.
Because you'll be more relaxed on the way home.
Maybe just do some calls.
You can be, you know, really productive on the way in.
By the way, I always thought a great
adventure would be a secondary horn, right?
Because you got the main horn.
Like if there's just a little thing that goes on,
someone maybe emerges and you just want to get
their attention, just a little tap, just a light
little thing, right?
So there's no road race.
Secondary horn.
You got to have two horns.
Once that and that.
And I'm like the old school horns. Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, you're right. Establish, you should not be driving. And the closer we get to it, I think I'm more convinced you're right.
I'm leaning towards it.
Once you realize how much more productive you be for that 25 minutes,
probably you get another video shot.
I love driving, guys.
That's my biggest challenge.
I love to drive.
Anyways, okay, so let's get into it.
We have a lot of stuff to cover here.
A couple months ago, was it two months ago when we were having the episode with
a virus in, and we talked about taxes.
And then I said, I'm gonna go do research on taxes.
Do you remember that?
I did notes, you know, 50s.
This is just the stuff that made it here.
We shot a tax episode, okay.
For me, you have no idea how excited I am to launch this video.
I'm not if I got some fun facts for you.
I got some fun facts for you.
Are they fun?
I got some fun facts for you. I'm actually fun. They fun. I got some fun facts for you
I'm actually curious to know what you'll say about it. Okay, you know some of them so some of them you can play long
Okay, but maybe others can play long. Can you tell me who invented the IRS?
Who was a founder of the IRA? I'm gonna go with Ben Franklin. He had so many great inventions. Let me go with Benjamin
Okay, so Benjamin Benjamin are you ready to be shocked folks? If you're listening to this don't Google it
Don't search it. I'm actually asking,
and I'm curious to know what you'll say.
Who, during which president's administration,
do you think the IRS was founded under?
During which president's administration,
do you think the IRS was founded on?
My guess yesterday was very close.
You said grant.
I said you said you was as grant.
Yes, you know who it is?
No, Abraham Lincoln.
Wow, is that not a war? Maybe, so is. No Abraham Lincoln. Wow. Is that a war?
Maybe civil war Abraham Lincoln came up and they founded the IRS and they said
We're gonna raise it was the first time ever we have federal income taxes
Lincoln got upset listen to pay off the civil war. We have to raise taxes
They came up with federal income taxes in 1862
But they said when we pay it off guess what we'll get away with the taxes. Do you think it's
that? Yeah, right? 10 years later, when they paid it off, the taxes went away. Is that not crazy?
Exactly. That's exactly it. And they won't be because they said we only raised taxes to pay off the
war. And it was a 3% tax for people making between $600 to $10,000. And it was a 5% tax where people making between $600 to $10,000 and it was a 5% tax where people making over
$10,000.
It was essentially the first progressive tax that we had in America under a Lincoln administration,
right?
But it did go away.
Here's another fun fact for you.
War, the idea of war in taxes.
There are so many correlations between war in taxes.
Property taxes, just so you know, property taxes
is the byproduct of war of 1812.
Interesting.
The way they collected money to pay off
for the war of 1812, the star-spangled banner,
was by, you know, coming out with a property tax.
Did not know that, I don't know if you knew that,
I know obviously you pay a lot of attention
when it comes on to tax time,
you're in the insurance business,
so you know a lot about it,
but property taxes came from War of 1812.
Here's another one for you.
How many military bases foreign military bases do you think the US has?
I'm going to take a while, guess what I'm going to say, 45.
45, folks, if you're listening, how many military bases do you think the US has foreign?
Okay.
Kai, you know this number, Sam, do you know this number?
How many military bases do you think this number? How many military bases?
Do you think there are foreign US military foreign you said 45?
I'm going with that. What do you think the number is?
How many US foreign military bases folks if you think you know the answer comment below you will also be shocked during a minute how many?
51 what do you think?
Foreign military bases
55 what are you gonna be spone wheel of fortune? He's good
The greatest is training off my direction. You ready what it is like prices right? I'm the way prices right now. We're all for you. You ready?
800 whoa in 71 countries now here's a trick question to everybody you ready?
Everybody's putting you somebody put a thousand who put a thousand greatest ever put a thousand mark but you put three fifty
Chicken diner 13 put 800 he probably searched it, but you know, but that's a good yes as well if you got it right a
Rochester of solely put 60 trillion
Okay, so I'm glad to hear that. It's a high number are you
To blow your mind if the US if the US has 800 military bases in 71 countries,
how many military bases, foreign military bases do you think China has?
How many think China has?
Oh God.
I want you to actually guess this.
I want to guess its fewer.
I want to say 300.
Okay, what do you think it is?
You guys want to take a while, guess?
Let me put it to you this way.
I guarantee you're not going to get it right. I'm trying to help you here. So you guys won't take a while guess let me put it to this way I guarantee you're not gonna get it right
I'm trying to help you here. Yeah, so you got to give a crazy number
1500 okay
2000 okay
One they have one
They only have one new it was last time
God can you pull up the only foreign military base China has and where it's at folks
This is like apps people people can't even comment on this stuff.
It's mind-blowing when you think about this.
China foreign military bases, go to where it's at,
okay, the Djibouti is what it's called.
Exactly, it's a discussion.
Oh yeah, they like Djibouti.
That's exactly where it is.
Can you go to the military,
where Djibouti is a P.P.
can or where Djibouti is, go to maps, okay, just go to maps military where where jibbuti is a pb canna where jibbuti is go to maps Okay, just go to maps go to jibbuti right there. It is the only
Foreign military base in the chokehold of the Swiss canal. That is the only military base China has now
Here's another trick question for you. You ready? Yeah
We're doing very poor. Okay. Okay. By the way, you and I were doing poorly
I just so happens I've got this research because I would have never guessed these numbers right.
Here's the next one.
Combine Russia, okay, Russia, France, and Britain, okay?
Three of the superpowers in the world.
How many military bases do they have foreign
between Russia, France, and Britain?
Do you know this or that?
I don't know this.
Okay, so you can guess on this one.
How many do they have? I'm gonna guess. This is not chance. So this is a different number. I just want everybody to know this or no? I don't know this. Okay, so you can guess on this one. How can I do they have?
I'm gonna guess.
This is not chance.
So this is a different number.
I just want everybody to know this.
I can do one.
I'm gonna say it's a very low number dominated by Russia.
I'm gonna say 16.
Okay, what do you think it is?
I'm going with a 9er.
90?
9er.
Okay, 9.
What do you guys say?
I'm gonna say 5. 5? Okay. 9 9 or okay 9 what do you guys say?
Five okay China through every
It's actually 30 okay, it's actually 30 those combined together. Yeah, 30 are you not blown away by this? If this is absolutely less is everywhere US is controlling 800 million
everywhere. U.S. is controlled. 800 million for one because we're policing the world.
That's why.
Yeah.
But you're paying for it.
That's the question.
And I'm a military guy.
I'm a pro military guy.
I'm an army guy.
Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
There's that many military base.
Here's what's the point.
You know what happens when you're involved in too many people's
marital problems?
You know, you know, you know, once I've become an enemy
eventually, that person, right?
Yeah.
You know, like those moms that are, ones are becoming an enemy eventually. That person. Right. Yeah.
It's like, well, you know, like those moms that are too over control, how's this going?
How's that going?
Eventually, mom just stayed the hell out of it, you know.
US is starting to become a little bit to 800 foreign military bases.
800.
It's a lot.
It's incomprehensible, you know.
Watch what China is doing.
So China, they have one, specifically one.
Why intentional?
Because they want to make sure they're getting their oil because most of the oil comes from there
So they need that part right, but do you know what they're doing with the other money?
US is spending fighting wars the old school way from the 56 70s intelligence
They're doing is bio cyber hack their study in all of those
Ways and they're using those resources so take creative viruses doing their thing
Fouchy said it could be possible.
Apparently Foulchy couple of days ago,
he's a good typologist.
Foulchy said it could be possible.
Tons of Foulsy goes to Foulsy.
So the point is, so the point is,
so that's one area.
When you link military bases and taxes,
they actually go together.
Here's another crazy thing for you.
You ready?
Okay, this whole concept about withholding taxes, right?
Yes, city where Tommy Lach's not really a big deal.
We got to kind of come up with a better way of putting it with holding taxes.
How long has that thing been around with holding taxes?
And the first time ever where we went with held taxes, who was it under?
First time we ever with that.
That's easy.
That's like 40, 50 years old, some Democratic president.
Give me a candidate.
Okay.
Lincoln was the first person that came up with a withholding
taxes.
You gave essentially what they did is they made the
employer the tax collector.
The employer became the tax collector to see what they
can do with the taxes rather than the IRS being the
tax collector because they wanted to pay off the civil
war, which they did.
And the American people were okay with that because it
eventually stopped.
It eventually stopped. But eventually stopped, okay?
But 1862, they don't have the ADP system,
they don't have all the system that they have today.
It was simple, the employer kind of paid it to the government, right?
Now fast forward, so that went away.
Years later, guess who made it official to help tax
with holding system become a law.
Easy.
Lyndon mains Johnson.
Okay, you know who it is?
Who? Milton Friedman. Out of all the, a Republican. A Republican Lyndon mains Johnson. Okay. You know who it is?
Who?
Milton Friedman.
How do I have all the,
a Republican?
A Republican.
So you know what he said.
Libertarian Republican, what was he going to say?
I would say Republican.
I would say Republican.
By the way, later on in life, when he did this, it was a 1943.
He was younger.
He helped the reason why he says, because we have to pay off the World War II money, we
just didn't have the money for it, right?
So they went from having, this is actually a very interesting fact here.
They went from in 1939, how many people in America think FALTX is 1939?
How many Americans FALTX is 1939?
The US population at the time was 131 million.
Yeah, I'm in the same...
20 million.
It's 50 million.
For 4 million people.
Wow.
There they go.
Three years later.
Three years later, 41 million.
They went from revenues being 900 million in 39 to five years later in 43, being $43
billion.
Well think about the amount of money they raised.
Yeah, but that probably won World War II because of it.
Well then, but here's what happened.
The difference is when it comes onto taxes the following.
Here's the difference.
The difference is the fact that when they came up with the taxes in 1862 under Lincoln, they said it's going to go away. Under Wilson, under Woodrow Wilson,
they came up with the 16th Amendment. The 16th Amendment allowed people to make
income taxes a lot because before it was tough, you couldn't do it. The 16th
Amendment allowed politicians to go back because there was this one case, kind of 1894, I want to say Charles Pollock
against farmers, company of 1894,
put Charles Pollock, I think it's versus farmers of 1894,
I think something like that, type that in,
farmers, okay, there you go, click on that.
1895, I was one off.
So Charles Pollock versus,
Pollock versus a farmer's loan and trust of 1895,
when they came up with this,
this, they were trying to tax the US population
4% to 2% on $4,000 or more of income.
He said, no, you can't do that against the Constitution.
The guy went and fought Supreme Court defendant
him saying, you're right.
The Constitution says you cannot just tax people
in come taxes, so later on under Wilson,
they made it a law, the 16th Amendment, allowed government to just impose impose any kind of taxes right. Now here's a kicker.
In 1913 when the Woodrow Wilson new amendment came up, what happened to World War One?
When did World War One start? 1917? Okay. We got involved around 1917, 1919. Do you know the taxes when Woodrow Wilson first introduced a progressive taxes?
It was 1% for anybody making zero to $20,000. It was 2% for 20 to $50,000.
And it went all the way up to top marginal tax rate in 1913 was 7%.
7% not 70%.
Four years later the top marginal tax rate went to 67%
and you want to know something crazy from 1917 till 1965 the top marginal tax rate
never went below 67% and when I'll all the way up to 94% is what happened to taxes.
Anyways I mean the whole concept of taxes mind boggling when you study what happened to taxes. Anyways, I mean, the whole concept of taxes, mind boggling when you study what happened here.
Can I give you one number?
Sure.
Okay, if you don't know this, jump in,
if you do, maybe don't.
But how many new IRS agents does Joe Biden want to hire?
Three times what we have today.
There's a number, exactly.
Do you know what it is?
I mean, this is unbelievable.
87,000 IRS agents, man, they are going to be going nuts.
You know, they want to dig back on all the, all the, all the tax evasion that they feel
that people were guilty of as far as high net worth people.
So they're, they're clawing after that money trillion.
That's a lot.
It's a lot of all to do audits.
I mean, they're going to be auditing like crazy.
Couple, so what were your biggest takeaways?
We don't, from what I understand, the tax correlation between taxes and war.
Yeah. Can you pull up that
link about who's paying more taxes, the 1% to 5% to 10% to you know what you want to talk about,
I send it to you. Number two, it doesn't seem like this is a democratic high taxation thing. It
seems like Republicans were taxing too. Yeah, but the differences, Republicans did taxes assuming
its temporary Democrats made it permanent. That's the difference. And for specific costs.
Yeah, for something.
So Lincoln said, hey, let's raise taxes to pay off civil war.
Democrats said, aha, socialist labor party, the populist party, the democratic party, what
if we can make this permanent and they did.
When Milton Friedman agreed to the tax with holding system, the only reason he did was because
he thought it was to pay off the world war to debt that we had.
He didn't think it was gonna be permanent,
obviously he helped.
It become permanent before he died in his memoir.
He talked about one of the biggest mistakes
he ever made is helping pass the tax withholding system.
Really?
And he said it was gonna happen with or without him,
but he helped that.
Can you pull up the numbers here,
kind of take a look at this.
So you know how we talk about who pays the most taxes
in America, you know how we say,
the one person's not paying taxes anymore.
This is an interesting chart.
If you make it bigger and flip the focus on them, same.
So this is the number of percentage of taxpayers, the bottom 50 percent, look how big it is,
right?
Then you get the top 25 to 50 percent, then you get the top 10.
You get the bottom 1 percent, very small community, right?
Very small community.
Now, who pays the biggest amount of taxes in America?
Look at the right. The 1% pays nearly the same amount of taxes as the bottom 50%
pays. Look at the 1% right there. And then go to the next chart, go to the next
chart that we had go down. I think it's a couple more. Keep going, keep going, keep
going. Is it above it or below it? Maybe what was above that kite right there Make it a little smart this shows over the years is the 1% pain more or less taxes look at that
All the way to the left it shows you from 1980 to today as the year goes by the 1% keeps paying more and more and more
And more taxes
The top 5% is also paying more and more.
If you're in the 10%, you're the same.
Nothing's changed for the top 10%.
The top 25% is getting lower.
The top 50% is getting lower.
And a bottom 50% is definitely getting lower.
So this kind of tells you when you get into it
and you take a deep dive into the tax topic, you realize,
it is not as black and white as people talk about it.
It's not like, hey, you know, Republicans do this.
Democrats do this.
No, Republicans also raise taxes, but there was an intention behind it with the payoff.
The Democrats look at that and capitalize and let's make this permanent.
So again, did you get the feeling after doing the video that they could easily simplify
this?
Or this is okay.
100.
I think I think one of the biggest reasons why did this video is to get people to just
question like what I want to see is the final look Like, all right, look, we got 1652
people watch. By the way, let me just announce this right now. Here's what we're doing today.
We got a couple new ideas that we came up with. Anybody that puts a super chat, whether
it's a dollar, $5, $10, $100, whatever, maybe $500. By the end, I'm going to pick one or
two or three or five best super chat quotes or questions that if we involve you,
and we're gonna pay you back 10 times
what you put in Super Chat.
For example, you put 10 bucks?
What's 10 times 10?
We're gonna wire you a hundred bucks.
You put a hundred bucks if it's the best Super Chat question.
We're gonna wire you back what you call it,
a thousand dollars, game because
this is not a money making machine for us.
We're doing this podcast because we're enjoying this,
but at the same time we want more people involved.
Look at the 1690 people on it, right?
Okay.
Do you know how many people,
like this video goes out in value-taming,
but I think it's got three million subscribers.
How many views do you think a tax video is gonna get?
Honestly.
It's gonna be one of those that people share, right?
You think so?
I don't think so.
Really?
That's the problem, what I think.
I think, now if I put a video of me, you know,
going out there and jumping out of a plane,
it's probably gonna get a million views.
If I put a video with me and a couple mobsters,
it's probably gonna get a hundred million views.
If I put a video about taxes and a history of taxes,
it's gonna get probably a hundred thousand
to 200 thousand views over the next 12 months.
Why?
Because nobody cares.
Nobody cares about taxes.
They're entertained. they're watching Netflix,
they're watching sports, there's a very small community
of people that are sitting there saying this matters.
Here's a challenge though, here's a good news there.
You know what the good news is?
If Charles Pola could do what he did
and Supreme Court can go on his favor,
if a story like this would link in which you're a smart guy,
you went to a good university, you did not know, you're a smart guy. You didn't know. I'm a pretty well read guy. I don't know this kind of stuff
I'm sitting here say guys read half the books in a world. He didn't know any of this stuff, right?
We're sitting here going through this date and we're like I never I never knew about that
Iris got started on their Lincoln. I never knew about that you need to tell me
It was only for 10 years and then you went away with it
Yeah, because I wanted to pay off the civil war. I never knew about that. You mean to tell me it was only for 10 years and then you went away with it?
Yeah, because I wanted to pay off the civil war.
I never knew about that.
That's what needs to be talked about.
The American people need to sit there and say,
wait, what?
You mean to tell me federal income taxes went away?
Yes!
How?
Because we were living off of excise and tariff taxes.
That's what we were living off of.
It was 50 cents per ton of goods coming from out of the states,
foreign, 50 cents per ton, and it was six cents per anything that was being
exchanged within the states.
So there are ways for us to change our taxes, where people from the outside
are paying.
There are ways we can change our taxes and decrease it, but right now everybody's
just kind of looking at what being entertained and taxes keep going up and up and up
and up and up and up and we have no clue
what the hell is going on here.
It's so many social programs that once they have
the money coming in, they just find new ways to spend it.
That's the difference now, right?
That's why these things will never be lowered.
Once the politicians get a hand,
they'll be, what do you mean by social programs?
Well, I just mean all the free, all the money
that's going out, all the free money that's going out.
Look what's happened the last few weeks.
So, I mean, that's where the tax money's going.
That's why they want to keep raising the taxes.
It's not like that they're looking to cut spending,
cut anything in the budget.
You know where the majority of our U.S. budget goes?
The majority of our budget.
Are you gonna say military?
It is, though.
It is.
Well, defense is not even in the top five.
Oh, okay.
So, number one is social security.
No, no, no.
In title, in programs. That title no, no. In title and programs.
That title man's not even in the top 20.
I'm just saying, where our actual $20 trillion budget goes,
where it's actually going.
The big three social security, Medicare,
Medicare, if you look at, if you Google US budget,
break down.
By far and away, it's social security,
Medicare, Medicaid, it's not even close.
And then after those big three things,
you have paying off our...
There's one that has like a pie chart,
if you go to the pie chart.
Go to the pie chart.
And then you have...
Just press the game.
Just press the game.
Paying off our debt is probably...
Image.
...7 to 8%.
Then you have the military.
And then all the social programs that everyone thinks about, look, health care, social security.
Defenses.
I think that might not even be right.
Go to a different one.
Point is, the vast majority of our budget goes to old and sick people.
That's United States.
Go up a little bit discretionary spending.
So military. That's just a military. That's United States. Go up a little bit, discretionary spending. So military.
That's just a military.
That's discretionary spending.
Just say overall.
Anyway, the point is, there it is right there.
Social security, unemployment, labor.
Medicare health.
Medicare and health.
Total mandatory spending that we have.
Yeah, but military is going to be different than that.
Here's the point.
The point is, if we keep going the way we are and nobody questions it, we're just going
to keep coming up with new taxes.
Okay, constantly coming up with new taxes.
And eventually, here's another interesting fact for you.
Here's another interesting fact for you.
Which president increased the national debt the most by percentage wise?
I'm going to guess Lincoln.
He's responsible for all of this.
Give me a Lincoln.
But in this part, it's FDR.
It's at 1,75% by the way, was in 1930,
when he was a denudial.
You know who's a second?
You should be able to guess it.
It's 1916.
Who was the guy with the 1913?
Who's a 16-demandment?
Woodrow was the second place.
He's second place.
Okay. He's second place.
Who do you think's dollar amount the most?
Obama.
$8.8 trillion.
You know who's second place?
Trump. It's very interesting when you look at the numbers and 8.8 trillion dollars. You know who's second place? Trump.
It's very interesting when you look at the numbers
and see what's going on, but percentage wise,
FDR and Woodrow Wilson changed the entire tax system
in America and very few of us sit there and study about it.
I don't know.
I just think there's an opportunity for us to learn more.
So when it comes down to tax them and voting,
we're gonna vote in a different way.
This thing that has been sponsored by TurboTax,
if you have not done your taxes in
total tax
turbo tax is very thankful for even saying their name yes
yes people actually think it is turbo tax it's actually not
sponsored by turbo tax is sponsored by
uh... pvd tax no no what's the green company the green
ancient our block and uh... neither one of them
uh... okay so we have the only thing that i'm still thinking about that
that that whole segment what's that that China's one basis in Djibouta
They got that Djibouta. Yeah, there you go
We should send Adam to go do a segment on man on the streets in Djibouti
I'll go you gotta go about that booty now. I'm sorry. I'm I'm looking for that Djibouti. Where is that?
Yeah, anybody torque. Yeah, I'm looking to do some
Are you up for it? Can you say you're up for it if we send you there or not if I'm going to Djibouti, where is that Jibouti? Anybody torque? Yeah. I'm looking to do some torque. Are you up for it?
Can you say you're up for it if we send you there or not?
If I'm going to Jibouti, you may not be getting some.
You got the message.
Jibouti.
All right, so, okay, let's go and see what story
we want to go with.
Adam, for whatever reason, wants the Florida story, Kai,
which is.
I think you want that story.
Do I want the story?
I asked you, what story do you want to cover?
And what did he say?
I said Florida.
Did he also said farm up, but then he said Florida.
And I like what he said.
He says, honestly, I haven't really looked at the notes,
but whatever, just pick a story.
I'm just excited to hear it.
I'm fired up.
I had my coffee today.
Let's go.
All right, so Kai, you got to remind me about the Super Chat
times 10 to see how that's going to go.
Yeah, do you want to repeat that one more time?
Because I was found to understand the math.
Who does a super chat time and we like it.
At the end, we're gonna pay you back 10 times of what you gave us.
Okay.
So if you did a $10 super chat, we're gonna get like, for instance,
right now.
Yeah, let's do brothers.
Race taxes on soy boy mafia, 10 bucks.
I actually think you know what?
Screw it.
John, you got 10 times that.
John, that's getting 100 bucks.
There's it. Making note making note John brothers just got a
hundred bucks for paying ten bucks race taxes on sogum mafia John text us your
phone number to three one zero three four zero one one three two we may just
even call you three zero three hang on one second three one zero three four
zero one one three two text that's Kai checked the number say I'm John
brothers with your number we We may drop a question.
I wanna understand what just happened.
John, John, he gave 10 bucks.
He gave 10 bucks.
He said, raise taxes on Sobaw and Mawp.
Yeah.
We liked the comment for no reason.
I'm giving him back 10 times for what he gave us,
which is what?
10 times 10 bucks is 100 bucks.
He's getting a little...
This seems like a little,
start it up in the nation with tax.
Look at that.
What we want.
It's funny comment about the Sobaw and Mawp.
You had to tax that as.
You're offended by it. I'm deeply the deeply offended animal take 60% of that exactly
You think you got jokes. We're gonna we're gonna tax that at a 64%
FDR he'll get six hundred six hundred
Anyways, all right John send us a text. We'll send you that money. Okay, so let's go to Florida. What we have with Florida page what?
Page six, okay, so did that kind of make sense to you what we're doing?
We're 10X and we're 10X and 10X and whatever you give and we have to like it. We're gonna be encouraging. So how you got to keep track of the comments because if you don't and I'm not gonna be able to track
anything. Just make sure you're tracking. So people, okay, so I Florida. Let's see what happened Florida Florida law seeks to reign in large social media companies. This is an AP story.
Standing at a lectern with a sign reading staff, big tech censorship. Republican Florida
governor DeSantis signed a bill on Monday that seeks to punish social media platforms that
remove conservative ideas from their sites. The new law will enable state to find large
social media companies a quarter of a million dollars a day.
A day if they remove an account of a statewide political candidate and $25,000 a day if they
remove an account of someone running for a local office, DeSantis pointed out in particular
to them President Donald Trump being banned by Twitter while still allowing Iranian Supreme
Leader Ayatollah K Kamenei to maintain an account
when you de-platform the President of the United States.
But you let Ayatollah Kamenei talk about killing Jews.
That is wrong, the Santa says.
This bill targets social media platforms that have more than 100 million users, which include
online giants as Twitter, Facebook, Bellomakers, Carved Out, and exception for Disney and
their apps by including that theme park owners wouldn't be subject to that law
Of course because this is in Florida. The Santa's has to take us. So anyway, so what do you think about this? I'm gonna go through
Okay, so here's my initial thought and I'm the only non-resident of Florida here
So let me say this from an outsider's perspective, and here's the thing
There's one thing I think of the Santa is
Starting his campaign for president
i mean i don't know how much meet this is gonna happen he wants to be the guy
out on the fourth there's no republican out there that's
that you could think that possibly run
in three and a half years not one not trump
i mean he's laying so low you don't even know what he's doing right now
i mean he made big news the other day because he had a golf ball into the water
on his golf course i was news the other day
so i think dissantantis is running for president.
I don't know how much meat this is going to have.
I don't believe that Zuckerberg and Dorsey and anybody
is actually shaking over this.
They're not worried about this one bit.
I think it's on the surface, it looks good, it sounds good.
I think there's a lot of vagueness in here,
ambiguity in here that you really don't understand
how they're going
to enforce it.
But it looked good at the press conference and it is especially effective if you're running
for president in 2024, which this gentleman will be doing.
So you think he's going 20, 25.
I do.
I'm going to see huge announcements on the floor that every two months.
You don't think this sentence is going to run.
I mean, he looks like a leader when he does this and he's laying the groundwork of what
his platform is going to be. I think he's obviously i in the uh...
the presidency but it's a little too early to tell we got to get through the
midterms i mean we just got i mean by just got elected what the six months
of honey moons over honey moons over we're breaking up with that someone's
beaten
i i would happen to agree with that but i think i've been pretty clear about the
about big tech
where even when uh... major Williams was here I said look
Trump's been banned from a lot of these platforms Twitter Facebook YouTube everything
Instagram he hasn't made an Instagram post since the insurrection I think big tech is a little getting a
little too big for their bridges to put it at the apropos speech. And I think this is something that needs to be said.
Mark Zuckerberg's and Facebook's approval ratings
are on the 20, 30% Trump's at 40%.
And I think this is something that's good for sound bites.
Like you said, I don't know how they're gonna enforce this.
Who's gonna enforce $250,000 a day?
How's that actually gonna take place?
Set them an invoice, see what they pay.
What's gonna happen?
How are they gonna actually pay this thing?
Yeah, how do they police that?
I don't know, all I know is, I love the idea.
You do.
And all I know is many of the federal ideas
start at the state level,
which means this may be an idea being started
not at the state level.
When the next Republican president gets elected,
he's gonna say we're making this federal, and I'm boom.
Then the federal's gonna get involved and then saying,
wait a minute, you just said you're a social media company,
but now you wanna ban people. If you wanna ban political people, you you're a social media company, but now you want to ban people.
If you want to ban political people, you have to get approval by us because now you're
involved with the government.
Here's what we're going to be doing.
Quarter million dollars a day.
I can see it.
It is smart.
Uh-huh.
When you explain it like that.
By the way, quarter million a day.
Right.
It's not quarter million a month.
That's three million a year.
Quarter million a day, which is seven and a half million dollars a month, which is 90
million a year.
That's real money. Just everybody year. That's real money.
Just everybody knows, that is real money.
When did Trump get banned?
Kai, can you tell me when Trump got banned?
The day after the insurrection.
Yeah, the 23rd or something.
The 23rd, you got banned.
Okay, how many days since the 23rd?
Do the math, Janet.
So it's five months.
Okay, five months, what's five times,
it's been four months or five months?
Five or 20 days, something like that.
120 days, 120 days, I'm $75,000, is what?
What's 120 days?
It's gonna be what, $30 million, okay?
120 times, 120 times a quarter million,
that's real money, $30 million.
So Twitter would be fainting
a $30 million fine right now.
Okay, I think they look at that
as the cost of doing business.
I don't think so.
I think 30 million is a real number.
You don't think so?
I don't, okay.
Ultimately, because if they can keep on doing
what they're doing and not change, I think they paid 90 million a number. You don't think so? I don't. Ultimately, because if they can keep on doing what they're doing
and not change, I think they paid 90 million a year to do that.
I do.
No, I disagree with you.
I think when you start paying fines of 30 million, 90 million,
whatever the numbers are, that's going to get someone's attention.
I think, look, big tech and their overlordness
is definitely becoming a problem.
And if I'm a conservative and i'm seeing
conservative voices being taken down
i'm rallying around this idea right here
so big tech it has been censoring conservative voices
i think something that they did well was disclaimers fact checks this is turned out not
to be true i think that's all wellair, especially when you're full on lying or quote unquote the big lie
But to full on censor somebody and say, uh-uh the president can't be on this this voice can't be on this at the end of the day
This is America. We do believe in the first amendment freedom of speech. You can't just completely censor what I'm saying
So what you're saying is you like what he's doing He's making noise and he's bringing attention to it
I think he has a value point because it's got a lot of people concerned by the way
We have another person your Hodges wife that just gave ten bucks. I just like what she quoted foreign aid is taking money from the poor people of a rich
country and
Given it to the rich people of a poor country. Let me read that one more time. That's a Ron Paul quote
foreign aid is taking money from the poor people of a rich country and given it to the rich people of a poor country.
She gets 10 times 10 bucks. Hodges wife sent us a text 310 340 1132. You're getting $100
in a 10 dollars. I like Hodges wife. Is Hodges wife? Hodges wife. I don't know how to
pronounce it. I hope you're listening.
By the way, Steve Levitts just gave a hundred bucks he wants to talk with Israeli army.
He was in it for eight years.
Texas, we may just give you a call.
Yeah, I think it's all going to come crumbling down for these social media companies.
I really do because you're even seeing this in the might be a segment later in the show.
Sasha Barak Cohen, is there a bigger liberal person that's more socially left than anybody
else criticizing Jack Dorsey for allowing the hate speech on Israel.
They're getting high on their own supply.
It's like a drug dealer that gets addicted to Coke.
They're gonna be so arrogant, so cocky, so out of control.
Now, not much can happen until the Republicans
get at least one part of the government.
If they take over the house in a year and a half,
I believe behind closed doors,
they are aligning themselves to go right after
public and in me, number one, is the big tech companies.
I mean, you hear about it right now.
I actually agree with you, man.
And a lot more people are good on both sides, by the way.
Yeah, and something has to be done eventually.
And I think this is a brilliant move by DeSantis
because it shows strength, it shows foresightedness,
it shows leadership, and he can fall back on it
when he's running for president.
And he might even be able to push this through in Florida
because he gets his way here.
Good boy, yeah.
That's it.
It's about to drop.
I was gonna say, he has a major point.
Hi, are you checking text?
When he says,
I've been responded already.
Okay, so I wanna just call John real quick.
Go ahead.
You may wanna give me the Viteima phone as well,
so I can do face-se some if we can get that.
It's hard. And if the phone line is working, I'm going to cut Adam off about seven more times.
But go ahead. No, it's hard to freaking argue with when
DeSantis says when you deplet from the president of the United States, but you let the
Ayatolo Kameni talk about killing Jews that is wrong. Who the fuck is the
argument? How's the argument going to argue? So I'm just putting the pressure on it.
But here's the point. Answer the question. No kidding.
Meaning Dorsey answered the question. Exactly., right? Many doors answer the question.
Exactly.
They all hold their asses in front of Congress again.
Let me ask you a question.
How much does Sasha Cohen hate Trump?
Is it fair to say he cannot stand Trump?
A very fair.
Is that a fair statement, right?
Is it fair to say that he can't stand Giuliani
with what he did in the Giuliani?
Is it fair to say that he likes to go out there
and mess with Republican politicians? Is that a fair assessment for how many years and and democrats he's mess with
burning the other side of the republicans ten percent is democerate fair enough you know
we we just went after couple days ago who do you think just one after he went after jack
dorsi can you pull up the story with them because i don't have an infronomy guy if you can pull
it up just pull up any story type type in Sasha Cohen. Sasha Baron Cohen.
Let's not disrespect the end.
It's fine.
Sasha Cohen, H-E-N, and Dorsey, just putting Jack Dorsey.
Dorsey, there you go.
Dorsey.
He's going to be fine.
Okay.
All right.
Let's go to Fox News, New York Post.
Go to New York Post Story.
Go to New York Post Story.
So if you can make it bigger so the guys can listen and do me a favor favor flip the screen. Let's go on that real quick. Flip the screen. Sasha Baron Cohen blasts Twitter
CEO over social media anti-semitism. If you're giving me the phone, okay, got it. Sasha Baron Cohen blasts
Twitter CEO over social media anti-semitism. Keep going up. Kai, keep going up. Keep going up, keep going up.
The surge in anti-semitism on the streets as fuel by anti-semitism on social
media the barat actor posted on twitter on saturday
tagging both the platform and see your jack dorsi
why do you allow hashtag hitler was right question he wrote
those who celebrate the holocaust aim to perpetuate another stop hate for
profit
bearing coin was apparently reacting to an anti-deformation league report released
Saturday that said more than 17,000 tweets use variations of the phrase Hitler was right
between May 7th and May 14th in seven days.
That's 7,000 tweets.
And Sasha Bering Cohen is the same guy that doesn't like anything about Trump that goes after
Dorsi.
So it's no longer become in a Republican thing.
People are starting to realize the power of dorsi
and how one sided they are.
And that's his homeland, Israel.
I mean, you could see how passionate is about this.
How do you not have an algorithm that weeds out
and references to Hitler being a positive thing?
How is that not in place?
You know, they have an explanation that they have to make.
They have to talk about, where's dorsi?
He hasn't responded to this at all.
How can he not say, I cannot believe that this has happened under my watch.
We got to get this thing fixed.
Nothing.
You know what, and you got a few likes from other celebrity, Trump Bashar.
I think Mark Ruffalo.
There's a few other celebrities.
He's another one.
He's an other one.
He's an on board as well.
He's another one.
It's irreprehensible.
It's unbelievable, actually.
This is a perfect example of why you can't just be uniformly left or right.
You kind of have to just use your actual mind and when you see something wrong, even if
you're not a big fan of Trump or Giuliani or whatever the hell it is, when you see something
wrong like this, you have to call it out.
Like what Jack Dorsey's allowing.
That's great.
By the way, here's the thing, let me tell you what I like.
I like the fact.
What just happened right now with Sashaasha khan to me is the
following
sasha khan officially to me became a true believer
that he really doesn't sincerely like the policies on the right republican
policies which is fine but he has policies that he also believes in
that he wants to impose and is not afraid to ruffle the feathers of the
organization that's helping his political party, moving the agenda.
Sasha Cohen to me falls into category of a John Stewart.
He falls into category of Bill Mark to me.
He falls into category of somebody.
Tucker Carlson is not liked by Republicans all the time.
Just so you know, there's a lot of Republicans
that hate Tucker, but they like Hannity.
They cannot stand Tucker.
So you're seeing a lot of this taking place
and I think that's exactly what we need to do.
Yeah, and he addressed something that isn't just politically incorrect, right, that he
was offended by.
I mean, there are Jews being attacked right now in Los Angeles, in New York, all over
the country, and this is fueling it.
He has a legitimate beef.
Dorsey has to say something.
He literally does.
I mean, on the heels of what was going on with Israel and Hamas, you know, for two and
a half weeks, is unbelievable.
And you can just feel the passion in that tweet as well.
He's not done.
I'm sure he's, you know, what else has he have to do?
He's retired borot.
He's not going to be borot anymore.
He said that at the Golden Globes this year.
So, you know, maybe he's going to be a political activist.
By the way, the super chat's going crazy.
We're trying to catch up with you here on what's going on.
And you guys keep bringing it to come in.
There's Yara G, Rest in Peace to my father,
Rafale Gere, 10, 6, 43 to 5, 5, 23, 21.
We will miss you and your carefree spirit.
Don't cry when I die.
Celebrate my life and party.
This is Yara G gave 10 bucks.
Guess what you are.
I'm gonna give you 20 times.
I give him 200 bucks.
Make a note of a text to us.
What a heartfelt thing, right?
You're gonna ask the politician.
No, man, I'm not running for nothing.
I'm just running for a YouTube channel
here right now, it's a run of business.
But we're not running for text,
I want to call a couple of these guys.
One of the guys who was in the Israeli army,
if we can get a hold of them, that would be great.
Kai, if you can give me his number, if he texts this already,
and I wouldn't mind having somebody who is
got the argument of Israel to go up against
the argument of Palestine. go up against the argument of
Palestine. There's a couple people that commented here about that as well. Hank Tide, we are
seeing your comments. We'll get you here in a minute as well as we're going through.
So let's continue. Let's continue because we have some more topics to go through. Okay,
next. How about we talk about, you said Tom, you want to win? I said the Fauci bomb shell.
Let's go to page nine. Let's go to page nine.
Let's go to page nine.
Fauci bomb shell not convinced COVID-19
developed naturally outside Wuhan lab, the Hill story.
Anthony Fauci, the director of NIH,
a National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases
and the President of Biden's Chief Medical Advisor
supporting open investigation
in the coronavirus origin says earlier,
this month he has not convinced the developed naturally naturally when asked about whether the virus originally natural naturally Fauci
said that he wants to look closer into the matter according to Fox News.
I'm not convinced about it.
I think we should continue to investigate that what happened in China until we continue
to find out to the best of our abilities what happened.
Fauci said speaking of a polar, polarity fact, Katie Sanders at an event, certainly the
people investigated it, said it was likely the emergence from an animal reservoir,
then that then infected individuals,
but it could have been something else
and we need to find that out.
So you know, that's the reason why I said,
I'm perfectly in favor of the investigation
that looks into the origins of the virus.
He continued, the White House has not prepared evidence
to refute the lab leak theory with press secretary Jim
Paskey saying the Biden administration is concerned that the Chinese
government was not transparent from the beginning really thoughts you know
um doctor Fauci I've been to say his name right okay he loves himself some
Fauci doesn't he I mean he loves being on the news he loves some Fauci um he
loves being on television he loves being on television. He loves being in the news.
He loves doing press conferences.
So I've got a suggestion for Dr. Fauci.
Go on Shark Tank.
Launch the Fauci flip flops, right?
A little pair of shoes.
Summer's coming up.
Beach, it'd be perfect.
He could make millions on it.
Here's my, and by the way, Kai, check your email.
I sent you a little something that maybe we can pull up
here in just a second.
Fauci flip flops.
Fauci, Adam, you guys know people like this, right?
They're overpaid and they know it, right?
I don't know if there's some sort of phrase for this, but people that know they're not
worth the money they're being paid.
There are people like that.
They're C, C, sweets.
People that have somehow gotten to high ranking jobs, they know they're really not quite good
enough for, not qualified enough for, and they're making big bucks so they have to seem like
they're worth it, justifying it every single day.
That's how I look at Fauci.
He's the highest paid government employee, Numero Uno.
No one makes more money than him.
He's the highest paid.
He goes out, he's insecure.
I can read this guy like a book.
He knows he's not as smart as everybody is claiming he is and acting like he is.
By the way, when's the last time he treated a patient?
If you're gonna be the number one doctor in the country,
get the stethoscope out.
I want to see you in a lab cope.
Get under a microscope once in a while.
Be a freaking doctor.
Okay, not a, by the way, Kai, did you find this?
Okay, he's gonna pull something up here.
I have a new role for Dr. Fauci.
So when we're ready for that, Kai,
I'll announce what I think Fauci
should focus on going forward.
Okay, Adam, what are your thoughts?
I think when Tom hears the name Fauci,
triggers go off.
He's just, Fauci!
And you know, I don't think he's alone.
I don't think he's alone.
I'm not, I'm not.
I don't think he's alone on the left order right.
I think a lot of people feel the same way.
Let me say something.
I am not pro Fauci, but I am certainly not anti-F Fauci.
I think he's had a tough, frickin' job.
I think when this thing manifested in China, there was nothing, anything we've seen like
this in a hundred years, and he was maybe a little over his head, but I think genuinely
he tried to do his best job.
When he said back in March, we don't necessarily need masks.
He came back and he flipped clopped on that, and that's been held against him for a year
now.
Turns out, maybe we did need some freaking masks, and he had to, and he did, and he had to
reverse on that.
However, the bigger story here is this, continue to investigate China.
This isn't about Fauci.
This is about China at this point.
Whether China, whether he's overpaid or whether he's coming out with a new line of flip
flops
It's freaking irrelevant. What's important here is investigating China
You did an interview with a lady and who came out and basically came out and said I
Was a scientist working in a lab in Wuhan and I can tell you conclusively this was invented in a lab in China
And then what happened to that interview pat? Yeah, that's what's crazy when I did the interview
with the lady.
What was her name, by the way?
She was just on Tucker a couple days ago.
She was all over the news.
She came out and she talked about,
Kyle, you're looking up her name or no.
She was all over the news.
They were talking about, she says,
this is a manly, remember that?
So we interviewed her.
And the interview in two days got half a million views.
Then they took it down.
And we didn't understand why they took it down
They also took down a Judy Mike of its interview the big tech overlords Judy used to work with Fauci in the 80s during the AIDS pandemic
That was taking place so so the biggest challenge I have with Fauci is the following fine
That you're saying now. Yes, we need to look into it
But why is the fact that so many other people said we need to look into it?
Why were they censored?
So that's the hypocrisy to me.
So you, how many billions of views was taken down?
Just because people questioned the source of where it came from.
How many?
Actually, curious, so no think about that.
It got to a point that you didn't even want to post videos because
they were striking, they were putting strikes on it,
they were taking it down,
said there's a part of it that a lot of audiences.
And by the way, we look at our content on value payment.
We used to get a lot more recommendation than we do.
Our views used to be 75% by recommended from another video.
That recommended list is pretty much flatline for us.
We don't get recommended any more like we used to.
Value payment is list on value payment.
We used to be recommended on 75% of our views.
50 to 75% of our views.
50 to 75% of our viewers were recommended.
We don't have that number anymore.
Why?
I don't know.
I'm not speculating.
I'm just saying.
I'm just up with that, though.
And by the way, I'm not even going to the point of shadow banning
or whatever people want to say.
If you do want us to do that, go ahead and do that.
Hey, audience, you know what I tell about the audience?
Get even more on notification.
Share the content even more.
That's on you.
If you really want to see this stuff being shared,
share it even more.
Be part of a group that we need to get this message out
and more.
I don't think enough people are sending their kind of saying,
this content makes sense, right?
They're saying this makes sense.
Let me share it with 10 people.
We need to get the ability to share even more.
People need to be willing to share the content more.
But that took place to us last year.
I kind of sat down and I'm like, really?
Just because somebody said that this could have been
from the inside in China.
So the silencing part concerns me.
I applaud Fauci for saying we ought to look into this.
Good for you.
But he should have said that seven months ago.
And he shouldn't have stopped that on the early days.
Exactly.
Because when Rain Paul, just a couple months ago,
asked him the question, he laughed at the idea.
He laughed at the idea.
And now you're changing your position.
Look, John Kerry years ago was supposed to be the president. I don't the idea. And now you're changing your position. Look, John Kerry
years ago was supposed to be the president. I don't know if you remember or not. He was supposed
to be the president until he got caught what? Flip flopping. He was the ultimate flip flopper.
Okay, the guy went to, I think he went to Yale. I think he's one of those guys that went to all
the right schools. He was about to be the president. He got a lot of heat for what? One minute,
you're saying this? One minute, you're saying that. You're saying this to the audience, you're saying that to the audience. It should have been Bush. He should have be the president. He got a lot of heat for what? One minute you're saying this, one minute you're saying that.
You're saying this to the audience,
you're saying that to the audience.
It should have been Bush, he should have been the president.
Flip flopper.
Foulch is throwing a flip flop a lot
and people are getting pissed off.
Make up your damn mind with this kind of situation.
Every politician flip flops though.
I just made the point.
Foulch is a politician, he's not a doctor.
He's another member of the cabinet, if you ask me.
He is not a doctor.
He is a doctor. No, he literally is a doctor. He's another member of the cabinet, if you ask me. He is not a doctor. He is a doctor.
No, he literally is a doctor.
I will give him that.
He's as much of a doctor as Doc Severinson was
when he was the leader of the tonight show band.
No, he is a doctor.
I will give him that.
He wants a medical school.
He is a doctor.
But act like one.
Okay, be a doctor.
Have an open mind.
I disagree, I disagree wholeheartedly.
You want him to treat patients like he's like some sort of
I want him to show the challenges down the street.
Treat a patient. If you're going to be the top doctor, I have high
expectations for you. A little bit more than just going which way the
wind blows, which is what he does. Look, he's a cabinet member.
The guy's been the guy, again, I'm not pro Fauci, but I'm not
anti Fauci, like you, the guy's been put in a tough position.
This virus came out of China. He's been in the, how long has he been there
through 40 years almost?
Through this time to go.
Okay, granted.
I'm just saying, he's been through
Republican Presidencies, Democratic Presidencies,
he's been around the block.
He knows more than most.
So for someone who's like Rand Paul,
who's a freaking eye doctor,
just sit there and try to battle Fauci.
Yeah, but time out, I think it's in January.
I think it's in January.
Ultimately, right?
I mean, what do you say?
I don't know.
Well, if Fauci's now agreeing with him,
I think Rand Paul's been wrong more than night.
By the way, he's still a doctor, Rand Paul, eye doctor.
It's not about, it's not about,
a doctor of infectious diseases versus an eye doctor
and they take Fauci's opinion over Rand Paul.
Yeah, but also it's okay.
So fine, but here's a question.
Here's a question for you.
It's not about whether Rand Paul is right or wrong.
It's about the fact that what the hell is wrong
with questioning anything.
I'm cool with that.
No, it's not, then if you are cool with that,
Rand Paul is not saying he's right.
No, he is.
Rand Paul is asking and questioning.
Which is totally fine.
Which is totally question.
Which you, which you as a person
who is responsible for the world,
relying on your opinion,
the world was affected by virus that came out of China.
Do you not think we need to go figure out
what the hell happened in China?
Do you not think we need to go find out
what the hell happened in China?
Rather than saying it's probably not them.
What do you mean it's probably not them?
By the way, here's another question for you.
How much money is the right amount of money to spend
to find out if they actually did this intentionally?
How much money?
Whatever it takes.
That's the point there.
Why?
Why is it so important?
Because it could happen again.
Because if it is true, if it is true,
you know what this is called?
If this is true, you know what this is called?
This is not a jet.
This is how many people got killed because of COVID?
What's the latest number because of COVID? Millions.
What is the number?
Total death of a COVID.
I'm guessing total number of millions from COVID.
COVID total death.
Three million, that's my guess.
That what's the total number?
Not just US, worldwide.
Let's use it.
2.6 million.
2.6 million.
Okay, do you realize a Holocaust?
How many people?
Six million.
I was just Jews. That's the number. And total it was? How many people? Six million. That's just Jews.
That's the number.
And total, it was 10 million, bro.
20 million.
You've heard six million to 20 million number.
Okay, Armenian genocide.
Millions people.
One and a half million, plus another half a million Greeks,
plus another quarter a million Assyrians, right?
Cambodia.
You want me to keep going?
You're going reparations?
Is that where you're going?
Are you kidding me?
Of course.
Are you kidding me? If course. Are you kidding me?
If you did this, you need to be held at the highest.
Are you kidding me?
Oh, I agree.
So here's what, to me, everybody needs to put their money up
and say, what the hell happened?
And they need to be held accountable.
This is not, people don't, by the way,
this wasn't even that deadly.
This was a 1% virus.
If this was a 5% do you know what that is?
If this, if this, this things R-NOT score was even higher than what it is, you know what
this could have looked like?
20, 50 million whatever.
If the R-NOT score was higher, okay?
Which is the, the, the, the, the, the bit the fact that it spreads faster if it was higher and more deadly.
Dude, what are you talking about?
Like, a couple of us wouldn't be sitting here right now.
Do you realize like think about you're not here right now.
I'm not here right now.
He's not here right now.
He's not here right now.
A couple of us wouldn't be sitting here right now.
So the point is rather than saying it's Trump's law, this is a stop.
Where did it come from?
Let's go to it.
I don't care for cost money.
Let's find out rather than sitting on the sidelines
and saying, oh, let's get Biden elected.
Oh, let's get Trump elected.
Forget about all this politics.
What the hell happened?
Let's get to the bottom of this.
All this political games they're playing is getting old.
So the fact that Fauci's finally saying
we have to find out
great, put a budget behind it. What's the budget? Let's go. If China wants to play ball and they
did this rather than sitting there saying what are we going to do with the what he called it?
The you know we have a lot of import that's coming from that we have 80% of pharmaceuticals that's
coming from we have 70% of chips that are coming from there. Really? That's what, so you're gonna keep empowering these guys
over and over.
If this is true, this is reparations at the highest level.
This is, I did it to you and I can get away with it.
You can't do nothing about it.
Yeah, and they're working on the next one.
It's an act of war, really.
I mean, they need to interact that.
They need to allow people in the country
and to investigate what?
Point is, yes, we should investigate.
Of course we should. Of course we should.
Of course we should, but ridiculous budget behind it.
Not only the United States, the entire world should do this.
But the question is, is China gonna allow people
to actually go into the lab and investigate?
They don't. Okay fine, let's say they don't.
Let's go. Let's say they don't.
Tax that as.
What I'm saying to you, say they don't.
Yeah. Okay, like you know how people say,
you know how there's cops will go to a house and this,
I know this guy's a murderer,
but you can't go on unless you have a what?
A warrant.
Okay, what if they still don't let you in?
What do you gotta do?
You gotta knock down that damn door.
And what if you can't do that with China?
What do you gotta do?
What is knock down China's door?
Because what is our form of knocking down the door?
Spy.
What is our, oh, we're gonna have to put
a taxis on that ass in sanctions, all of that.
You have to do it.
You have to do it. The world has to do this is can't just be
united states alone
this has to be a global coalition to say i'm sorry about it we got to come in
that door in the as well to do it
u.s. willing to do it
australia's willing to do it and it is willing to do it the e-use one of the
South Korea put that thing together that's the point
so that's what we're going and what i'm saying to you it's if fouches got into
this point this is great news. I like the fact that Fauci's gotten to this point
And I like the fact that the the spas what's her name spasky pasky. Socky. Socky. Whatever her name is
Socky
Socky says not
Transparent from the beginning that the Biden administration is concerned that the Chinese government was not transparent from the beginning.
You know what I'm sensing here?
Let me tell you what I'm sensing here right now.
One of the things America desperately needs right now.
Desperately needs right now is the following.
You know what 9-11 did?
Democrats went and helped chase down Republican kids.
Republicans went out and say, hey, Mary, what's going on?
I can't find my husband.
I'll help you.
Let's go.
People forgot about it. People just said, what do you bleed? Red, white and blue.
Great. Let's go. Today in the world, 2.6 million people died. You know what we bleed? All of
us. Red. It's not red, white and blue right now. Let's figure out who the hell was behind us.
Yeah. How does the place? Yeah. So, and guess what? Anybody, including that virologist that
when I said this was a man-made guess what? Let's listen to them. What's the statement in America
when somebody gets charged with a crime?
What is it called?
Innocent to what?
Prove it guilty.
Hey, you know what, let's hear what you got to say.
Tell us.
You know, and now people are basically saying what she said wasn't crazy.
I mean, you know, maybe you put that video back up on YouTube.
Here's the other thing to follow and watch is you're going to see the mainstream media,
you know, echoing these same statements that maybe it was coming out of China.
And they're already starting to do it.
CNN, Washington Post, New York Times, NPR,
they're all kind of doing the same thing
when they mocked it and ridiculed it a year ago.
Now they're saying, hey, maybe.
Now, here's my problem with Fauci.
You know I'm not a big fan, right?
I think he's the mascot of the coronavirus.
That's literally what I think he is.
But here's my problem with him.
People take their marching orders and their cues from him.
When he comes out with two masks
and he's always got a fearful message.
That's what he's always throwing out there.
It's gloom and doom.
It's never positive.
You still see people driving around with masks while they're driving their car.
You see people walking outside, no one around them.
They have their masks on, healthy looking people.
I saw Chris Pauliest today wearing a mask when coach Williams was talking to him two days
ago and he's at the silent, dude, what are you doing wearing a mask when he's about to
go in?
He's he's playing. He puts his mask on to sit on the bench. Are you like
serious? Post game interviews. There are masks. It's hitting
on each other sweating on each other. And that's my problem with Fauci
because he just goes the way the wind blows. But he's got a voice.
He's got a megaphone and people fall for it.
You talked about John Stewart. John Stewart has become famous in the
last 10 years for doing what?
Speaking out on behalf of both sides.
First responders from 9-11.
That's right.
So I have an idea.
What's that?
I think there needs to be a global public hearing,
a coalition, a full on testimonial, testifying
in front of a world response, global pandemic,
supreme court type of thing
and get out there and have people testify as to what happened globally
uh... what's the what isn't there a global uh...
what's a what the world court what's it called anyone
uh... by uh... by uh...
uh... there's a name for it yeah
global coalition uh...
uh... whatever the other all something
whatever it is might
Yeah, keep going people need to get out there and testify just like that John Stewart does and he's always in front of
Congress testifying on behalf of 9-11 there needs to be a unilateral try glyceride court whatever the hell the word is
and
This needs to be out there. Here's the question
What percentage of this do you think was percentage,
the odds that it was man-made versus a bat and woo-hunt?
I'll say 80% or higher.
I mean, 80%?
Well, yes, yes.
I think China's back there laughing.
You know that, I'm thinking about the next one
that they can unleash.
Pat, so if I do the call,
I'll have to keep the phone here, right?
Is that what you're telling me?
Uh, no, it's gonna be on there.
I'm gonna say 10%.
10%? Yeah. 10% that it was made me. But let me? Or no, it's gonna be on there. I'm gonna say 10%. 10%?
10% that it was made me.
But let me tell you what I mean by 10%.
I'm extremely skeptical.
So, but I'm not a, I'm skeptical,
but I'm also not convinced it was 100% man-made.
I'm saying 10%, but to me 10% is still a high number.
Yes.
I'm not one in 10% chance that this was man-made.
Why?
I think honestly, Trump was negotiating so hardcore with them
that they just said, watch what we're gonna do to you.
I think this was a vendetta,
China had against Trump.
And if that is, if that, if that's,
my 10% is that though, that's my 10%.
My 10% is Trump was getting in the way because all the other politicians
Had made it easy for channel to compete at the highest level and Trump made it very difficult said this
I got you we got to get rid of this guy. So let's throw a thorn in there and here
You know you're 10% Kai. What are you?
percentage it was man made go ahead
Probably like five. Five percent.
You guys percentage man made.
I would say five, two.
Oh my God.
I'm gonna rational, go ahead Sam, what do you got?
I'm gonna rationalize my 80%.
No, I said it's at least 50%.
50%.
Why would they ask the audience guys, percentage
that you think it was man made.
Tom's at 80%, Pats at 10%.
I'm right around 5%, 10% as well.
I think 80% is a great amount of your...
What's your number one?
Let me ask you a question.
Wouldn't you be more 5% or 10% if the timeline was flip-flopped?
Now, government, Fauci media is all saying it's a very good chance.
They weren't saying that at the beginning,
and then a year and a half later,
they're saying no one came from a bat.
Crazy aggressive.
Tom, but that's all good
that's your number I said five to 10% I said it that's where I'm at
let's get our audience in there yeah if you're watching this a lot of
people say 50% Ures says 50% Kate lemon says 100% 100%
Ryan gives us a 20% angry happy says 90% Joshua Tomers says 69%
he feels like I think he's a little single right now. He's watching Elon Musk.
Yeah, so we got a bunch of people.
By the way, a lot of people are saying on the high end.
I haven't seen anybody at 5% or 10%.
Everybody's on the high end.
Well, it is what it is.
That's 69% is trending.
I think that's gonna be the number problem.
I'm serious, a lot of people are putting 69%.
It seems like he started trending.
Okay, so by the way, Anas, a couple people commented, Anas,
I see you, I just want you to know Anas,
I see you when it comes down to Israel and Palestine.
What I'd like to do is to get what I'm trying to do
is to get a few people from both sides
to get on and talk about the topic
because I want to hear somebody from the Israel side.
I want to hear somebody from Palestine side,
maybe even two and two to put them on to talk about.
Let me call somebody here right now.
Let me call somebody here right now.
So we have, do I leave it in? Does it have to be in? Yeah, you have to leave it
I don't think it's gonna work because if I keep it from all the way there to make the call
You have to just keep it close to the mic. I have to keep it in and close to the mic
No, no, no, no, I'm gonna do this. Yeah, let me see this you're hang on. We're gonna call somebody
Yala Yala who was a Israeli soldier for eight years.
So let's hear.
And then Anas, Anas still hasn't Texas his number.
Anas, can you text me your number?
Can you text me your number?
Let me see here.
All right, so Steve Levitz.
Let's see.
Is this Steve?
Yes.
Steve, how are you?
Mr. Patrick, how are you my friend? I am doing very good. So Steve, so you said you were in the Israel army for eight years?
Yeah, I'm the one that send you the toys for your family every Christmas. Oh man, you're so amazing. I appreciate that brother
Thank you so much for doing that the kids appreciate it as well. I appreciate. Thank you
So tell us what do you think about what's going on with Israel and Palestine?
You weren't the Israeli Army for eight years.
Obviously, this is a very, very heated debate on both sides.
Folks from Palestine have strong opinions.
Folks from Israel have strong opinions.
What are your thoughts about what happened there?
Okay, my thought is the fact.
I'm sort of English, it's not the best.
But I lived there for 35 years now I live in Orlando, but I was there for eight years people doesn't understand I hate when people say the city news and they say, oh, three Palestine, three Israel people have no clue what's going on.
We treat in the Arab, better than anyone else.
If Hamas will literally control the Gaza and that we take over whatever the dream to take over Israel. The Arab we suffer like nobody ever understand that.
People don't understand how we give them water, electric, the work with us.
I actually know the language, I work with them, I have millions of
radar and they even understand that the Israeli Arab especially,
the understand what's going on. If the Hamas we take over, they are done.
They treat them, they beat them in the street, they do whatever they want.
You cannot go without you know, the cover on the head, they will beat you.
You cannot, it's like, they're going to make it like I run, which you know better than anyone.
People doesn't understand how moral I never hit no honor for no reason.
I never shot no one for no reason.
People doesn't understand what's going on there.
They're all about blood.
They're going behind school.
The shooting so we can shoot the kids and they can shoot at the CNN. It's unbelievable what's going on.
Unbelievable. I'm like I'm in shock. People just throwing memes and social media.
Free Palestine. They have no clue what's going on. Are you saying that the Hamas believes in
Sharia law? 100% okay. 100%
100%
Continue did you have a follow-up? I just wanted to see if that's what it's gonna say and by the way
Can you unpack that unpack that for us and the and the listeners?
Okay, so so for example if you go now to
Let's say Gaza or Jerry Ho or whatever, okay, yeah, and just for example you're gonna ask a father with four kids. Yeah, say have two boys and two girls
Mm-hmm. We ask him how many kids you have you know what I will say what two
You will never say for they don't count the girls the treat them like garbage
The treat them just to clean the house to have babies and that's it
They don't have a say they don't have a war. They don't have nothing people don't get it
They believe in chariot because they also that's how to take the taxes, that's how they take their money.
And people that need, I was in Gaza, just Gaza for one year and eight months.
I was four months of them undercover.
What I saw there, it's unbelievable.
They hate the half, they blad, they did.
I wish I can just like a YouTube my time on the army which
Steve do you mind if I three way Anas and who is on the complete opposite side because he's got some strong opinions and
See if the rest of us can just listen to the two of you guys have a discourse. You's that okay with you
Okay, I'm about to call you folks. Hang tight. I'm trying to get Anas in
Give me a second here Anas. Thank you for your patient. Let me see if I got the number one, nine, two, nine, I, two, three,
one, six, three, oh, eight. Here we go. And who is Anas exactly? I don't know who Anas is.
I don't know who Anas is. Anas is got the complete opposite opinion. Okay. Then one Steve
has Anas. Can you hear us?
I'm doing wonderful. I appreciate you. I'm on a three-way you and Hank type for me. Did you hear the comments Steve made?
Okay, so hang on before you bring in Steve an ass. Give us your bio
Wait, let me bring Steve because it doesn't matter. They got to know each other anyway, so
So at this point we know Steve's background is he was an Israeli army for eight. So Steve, can you take 30 seconds and give us your background once again? You said eight years in the Israeli army. Tell us a little bit more again.
Okay, yeah, I was eight years. I joined Army when I was 18.
In Israel, you have to be three years in Army, but I signed more than I become an officer for eight years.
I was almost two years in Gaza and the rest on Ramallah or the Arab area.
I was a commander for 150 soldiers and I can guarantee you that we are the most moral army ever.
We give them food, we give them everything, we treat them good, they're working with us.
Perfect, Anas. Can you give us your back, Steve? Thank you for that. Anas, give us your background before you guys can go into
I'm Palestinian-American. I was born in this country. I was raised in Palestine for a year
So unfortunately, your guest, I think he's kind of misinformed about a few things. So number one
So number one, I'm gonna be respectful here because he was respectful
So I'm gonna be respectful. For example, we treat our daughters in sons the same way.
My family have a lot of daughters in our family.
And my uncle, he says that he likes his daughters more
than his sons.
So I think he likes to talk to four-pronged-loss things,
number one.
But number two, I want to see something important, Patrick,
is that as a Palestinian, as a Muslim,
for more and more and more, as a Muslim,
I can then kill civilians because in Islam Islam we're not allowed to kill civilians.
It's in the Sharia law.
If someone could read the Sharia law, it says in Islam.
They're not allowed to kill civilians no matter what.
And I want to tell this young man here,
if this gentleman here, because he's a good man,
he's educated, I hope, is that the Palestine
is the elected Hamas,
because there was elections in Palestine.
There was no elections recently
because Israel and the American government
and the Fentah Party, there's a one allow for elections.
And look at the last one,
because we say that Israel is the most
more army in the world.
How many kids died, Pat?
Now, I don't care if it's Israel,
the kid of Palestine, you kick a lot of kids died.
You know, when kids got trauma and they say, oh, Hamas, they put the rockets, they put the rockets, they can
see the evidence, please, I've been asking that it's really, you know, media and army to
kick, show us the evidence that if there's rockets in the buildings, show it. But no,
they didn't show it. They just used the planes to punish the palestinians for voting for
Hamas because they can't get to Hamas. Hamas is in the tunnels and Hamas is their fighting
face to face. It is a must to really show Hamas going to Gaza,
going to Gaza and be manned and go fight one on one. Anyway, I'm still on the topic because
I'm I'm telling you to give you our side. As a Palestinian and as a Muslim, I'm going to see
I'll take I can come to Armenian genocide in the war of the 1915. Many Armenians were taken in by
Palestinian Lebanese and Syrian families. You took the Armenians in.
And we have to be straight here.
Israel was built on Palestine.
531 villages was destroyed.
11 cities was destroyed.
Yaffa, Heifer, Akka, Tiberius, Nazir, and Nazirin.
All these cities are in today Israel,
where once part of Palestine,
and there were Palestinians who were living there,
and they were kicked out of their lives.
And this whole conflict started when the Israeli army quote unquote the most small army
of the world, stormed Islam, stirred home in sight.
Can you imagine if a Muslim army stormed the Vatican or stormed Orthodox Christian church,
how would the world react?
Can you imagine how would the world react?
The Turkish army stormed the Orthodox or Greek church, and they disec disappointed it. So let's be straight here. Let's be balanced here. Now I'm gonna
say on tape. If Hamas kills civilians I can them that 100%. I can them killing
civilians 100% because the rockets that they have because they're on for
some weapons but these rockets are not a much more calling. They're not accurate.
And plus Hamas warned them twice
if you keep touching out of sight and the Palestinians from their houses
we're gonna respond and Israel didn't
uh... he the warning and Hamas responded
now me and I am not here to have a sort of a
me and here for the what what the Palestinian people are the
since I've been
causes under a blockade kind of the king going out
there are many smart palace things in the schools
there are many smart palestinians in the squirrels. There are many smart palestinians in the squirrels
that are engineers, lawyers, filmmakers, all this stuff.
And they can't go with the full potential
because Israel is putting a blockade on Gaza.
We're not allowed to have our own businesses
in our own state, but let me ask the question.
If New York or Los Angeles was under a blockade,
because the people chose Donald Trump and Russia and China put America under blockade and they counted the calories that came in this country.
How would America react? If someone came to your house and said, this is my house and it's my house and because God said, how would you react?
This is, you have the right. America gave you a second amendment right to defend yourself. The Palestinians are practicing the right that God gave them. They all gave them the second amendment right to defend their land.
Defend the West Bank, defend our holy sites. Okay, and it's clear. Let me be very clear about something.
Anybody in America attacks a Jew for no reason, even if he's from my own people, even he's an Arab or a Muslim,
I will beat the crap out of him and defend thing that Jews rights because I'm a Muslim pair.
I got to say something. I got to say something. We got lucky here. Steve, I'm going to come
to you in a second. Folks, if you're listening in, we are probably the luckiest people to
have gotten this to because you're both sounding. Obviously, there's some emotion behind
you, but you're both being reasonable and respectful to one another. I appreciate that.
That's the vitamin type of style.
Steve, I wanna hear your response to what Anastya said.
Yeah, yeah.
Go ahead, Steve.
Sorry.
Okay, first of all, I think he's talking about missing form.
I don't know where you form in Palestine,
which area you call it.
Palestine, what's that?
What's that?
Okay, great, but yeah, I think there's many.
But when you say Arab doesn't,
just for example, if Israel was very mean like everybody
tried to which operate Palestine in a second we try never to shoot with telling everybody where
they have us you know if I got for the shooting let's say I have 20 kids around me and now we shoot
your house you wouldn't say oh do you keep me behind Steve I'm not gonna shoot him you will
freaking shoot me as much as you tell to protect your kids so when they're
going to kill them then and everything and the shooting out don't think that
we're gonna say oh wait what are we gonna do there is kids because that's what you
guys want to show and second look what Hamas didn't be not nothing elected really
I mean you have to be very naive to think that Hamas been elected really nobody
really asking and repal time who to vote.
You know it's everything, it's 99% vote for Hamas because that's how it's going to work.
And Fatah was supposed to come now to election and that's why he's named his mother.
He didn't want to have election because he didn't want to have election because he will be lose.
100% he will lose. That's what he did.
100% I agree with you.
100% I agree with you.
That's what he did.
That is a diffraction like a lateral validation.
Yeah.
That's a very bad treat.
What's ironic?
Tell me.
That all the leaders, the Hamas, the king, that selling all the kids
to die, you think I care about?
I don't care about kids dying yet.
But you know where they are?
They're all in Vegas, they're all in Dubai.
They're not even there.
They just said, go die for Palestine, go buy their buses.
Brother, brother, with all the respect, the leaders of Hamas are in Gaza right now as we speak.
Yeah, they are all in Dubai.
Okay, maybe, maybe, I assure you, I bet you $1 million.
Yeah, you know what the best thing is.
And that's what we're not supposed to do.
Well listen, gentlemen, I appreciate you for your time. This was great. Here's what we're doing. Yeah, you know what's the bad thing?
Well listen gentlemen, I appreciate you for your time. This was great. Here's what we're doing gang
Why don't you put the link in the description
I know it's put it in the description the audience if they wanted they can follow here's what I'm gonna be doing for both You guys gang if you watch this and you enjoyed Stephen and I click that subscribe button Steve you gave us
99 bucks and 99 cents I'm giving you 10 times back you're getting a thousand dollars for doing what you did and I know
You gave 20 bucks. I'm giving you 10.10 10 times back to that as well you guys were class X appreciate you guys take care guys
Bye bye. Bye. Yeah, well done. Well done. How awesome amazing a lot of awesome was a
Well done. Well done.
How awesome.
Amazing.
A lot of passion was left.
Passion was great.
But intelligence and great perspective.
Folks, if you loved this, smash the thumbs up on that other was class act and give a
Stephen and us some love on the commentary.
We're probably going to bring those guys back the way they give us their update.
We're probably going to bring them back.
Okay.
Any take away from what you said.
I think that's what value attainments all about.
Two reasonable people with polar opposite perspectives,
having a conversation and you being the moderator
and us all listening and hearing what the perspectives were.
I gotta give it up to Steve and Abbas, what was his name?
Anas. Anas, total respect.
And you have someone who's Palestinian,
who had a perspective, he said he's American,
so maybe he didn't really spend a lot of time in Gaza.
One year. One year. He said one year.
And you have somebody who's spent 35 years in a military, speak the language.
I will say there is a big difference between the West Bank, near Jerusalem versus Gaza,
which is the question.
Okay, exactly.
And Gaza is a lot worse in the West Bank.
And I will say on behalf of Steve said this.
He said, we could annihilate the Palestinians
if we wanted to in one second, which is true,
which is true.
I sent you something about that.
I don't know if you saw it.
Yeah.
What my friend Theresa was.
For me, yeah.
Israel has the most powerful army.
This tiny little country, the size of Delaware,
has the most powerful army in the entire Middle East.
More per capita, more powerful than Iran, more powerful than Saudi Arabia, they could
destroy Palestine.
They could, but they don't.
On the flip side, they do have a moral obligation, Israel being a democracy, people that believe
they try to be a shining light in the city of a hill like much like America. In the Middle East, they do have a moral obligation to humanize
the people of Gaza. Steve said that they do not hold free and fair elections. I
agree with that. I do agree that especially in the West Bank, Mahmoud Abbas has
been there for 15 years. He has not had to face a re-election.
There's a lot of corruption going on,
especially in Gaza, a lot of corruption,
but Israel being the shining light in the Middle East
should do their best to have moral authority over it.
Here's where I come out with,
Steve, that perspective was unbelievable.
Somebody in the frame's gonna be back.
Stephen and I are unbelievable.
They're gonna be back.
You know, and I'll say this,
I love all people that are peace loving.
Yeah.
Right.
I think most people are in that camp.
I like Palestinians.
I love those Israelis the whole thing.
The wild card here is Hamas.
Right.
And I think if you listen to Steve, that's what he's talking about.
This is a terrorist faction that fights very, very unfairly and dirty.
And that's who, you know, is causing most of the problem.
I think Palestinians in Israelis could live, you know, a little bit more peacefully than
people give them credit for, but when you have a wild card factor like a moss, and that's
where you hear the passion and it really coming in because they, when you see the stuff
probably that Steve's seen, and he hasn't told us, you know, probably yet a fraction of
what he knows, but it's unbelievable when you get the perspective from somebody on the ground.
Awesome.
I agree. By the way, Julie Swanson just said,
this is fantastic.
Wow, how lucky for us to hear this.
Julie, I agree with you.
She gave $5.
We're going to give 10 times back,
which is $50 to Julie.
Amazing.
How many people have we given 10 times?
We're giving it a lot of money.
We've given away a couple thousand dollars.
So, we're already...
We're not saving that money to the baby.
And the baby book.
If you post a super chat that we comment on,
or we like,
I'm gonna give you 10 times back what your super chat is.
You give 10, Steve just gave 100,
we give them 10 times back a thousand dollars.
What time do we, or when do we send them the tax form
for the 60% tax that they have to pay on that?
That'll be depending on that.
We'll get that right out to you guys.
I want to, it was at a NASS.
A NASS.
I want to say one thing to a NASS out of respect.
He said, we are peace loving people.
You know, they said that according to Sharia law,
there's a lot of Jews being attacked.
We saw it in New York, we saw it in LA,
just because they're Jewish.
And he said, I would tell my brethren,
what the hell you're doing?
I'll beat the crap out of my own Arab friends,
Muslim friends.
I was impressed with that.
Okay, that is the type of attitude we need.
I told you. Like if I had Jewish friends, they were going I was impressed with that. Okay, that is the type of attitude we need. I told you.
Like if I had Jewish friends that were going around
and beating the crap out of whoever,
I would say what the frick is a matter with you, bro.
Get it together, that's the type of attitude
you need to be talking to your own people about.
So respect to him about that.
I think you can get him in studio.
Aren't they both in Florida?
One's in Orlando.
I don't know if someone's in Orlando.
I gotta say Steve's a long time,
Steve's so good to me.
Yeah, I mean,
he's a class out. He's such a nice guy, man, I mean it's like this guy.
The class is something else, man.
There's some entertainers out there that are so respectful
of what we do, he's definitely not categories.
Okay, let's talk about Navy.
Okay, Navy says it's charting a new course
after rash of problems.
This is a very interesting story because it's six,
because it also has to do with China and how China's navy is slowly becoming very, very strong. So, navy says
as charting a new course after Russia's problems, this is a Fox News story, embarrassing photos
of rusty ships online have underscored delays in maintaining warships made worse by the pandemic.
The navy's trouble have caused delays and costs of billions of dollars.
They come as tensions are growing in South China Sea. Russia's navy is emboldened. Iranian speedboats are harassing vessels in a Persian Gulf. The navy fleet currently falls shy of 300
ships despite a stated goal of 355 ships. The Chinese fleet now outnumbers the US navy. Let me
say that one more time. The Chinese fleet officially outnumbers u.s. Navy let me say that one more time the Chinese fleet officially out numbers the u.s. Navy and the most expensive ship in the
Navy history meanwhile is the newest aircraft carrier the USS Gerald Ford and
has had problems with the system that launches jets and the elevators that
moves weapons amongst other things it was supposed to cost ten and a half
billion dollars but the press tag has risen to thirteen point three billion dollars and four weapon elevators
are still not finished and the reliability of key systems as low as Republican Senator
Jim, Chairman and Ranking Member of the Armed Service Committee.
What do you think about this?
We're trying to name it.
I'll say on the surface, this is very embarrassing.
This isn't like a headline where you're like, yeah, this is great. Congratulations. This is actually embarrassing. This isn't like a headline where you're like, yeah, this is great. Congratulations.
This is actually embarrassing. But this will go back to your initial point of maybe it's time to
update the type of warfare that we're investing in, right? You talked about that we have 800
military bases around the world. China has one in my favorite city in the world, that booty,
Jeb booty, my bad. And the maybe just maybe it's time for us to take a step back
and realize, all right, maybe we don't need all this,
maybe we need to reinvest and allocate that money
into something a little more modern
rather than your typical traditional assets.
So maybe this is a pause and reset for the US Navy,
just maybe.
You know, the one thing that steps out for me
that scares me a little bit, you know,
usually I want to get too caught up because, you know, they have more, just maybe. You know, the one thing that steps out for me that scares me a little bit, you know, usually I wanna get too caught up because, you know,
they have a billion people.
They're gonna have more military members
than we do, just sheer numbers.
But is it the, whatever's going on off the coast of Japan
in that area where there's a very, very volatile area
with the islands that they're gonna be eventually
tussling over that South China Sea?
Yeah, everybody has to take that very, very seriously.
So if you're talking about the Chinese Navy, I immediately go to that and there's a legitimate
threat there.
So, you know, is it going to be a submarine battle?
Is it going to be two warships going at it?
Probably not.
You know, the war will be fought differently, but that's an area that kind of scares me.
So if you're talking about the Navy and their dominance and the importance that China's
putting into it, I think of that region because we can't agree on anything.
We just fight amongst ourselves in this country.
China knows exactly who their enemy is every single day.
As being an army guy, do you have any thoughts on the Navy or?
I think I look at China as being so strategic that I ask myself, what is China doing investing
in the Navy?
Like, why are they having so many fleets of,
what, what for?
Is it because, you know, the surrounding nations,
is it because of, in case something happens
at Suez Canal, is it because US has ships out there
and they're not comfortable about it?
Is it, what's their motive?
Why ship?
So, because, you know, when you're,
when you're, say you're playing a video game
and so one guy, and you know how you go out there and say you're playing a video game and so one guy and you know how you
Go out there and you're playing one of those race games, right? And it says you have this much money
Do you want to invest it into a nicer car and to turbo into better suspension and to better tires and to better whatever right?
So you buy turbo and all of a sudden a guy comes in who's a
Ten-time champion whatever and he buys wheels. You're like why wheels?
Well, he's buying wheels for You're like, why wheels?
Well, he's buying wheels for a reason,
because wheels, if you get better,
let's just say tires, it's gonna stick better,
so you're gonna have better handling,
while you may have turbo, and you may crash,
but I'm gonna have better in the turns.
So there's a reason why he's picking.
So I'm trying to see why he's China investing
so much money in their navy.
If they're doing it, there's gotta be a reason.
They're very methodical in what they do. They don't just invest into anything. Look at the military
base. They have one foreign military base around the world. What for? They're sitting there saying,
we can use that money for military base better by doing it in a different way. So if they're putting
it into navy and you as a sit in a fallen behind China, there's got to be something that's gonna be a special question.
Obviously we talk about China a lot on the show. I mean, this is something we talk about and everything is going on and
Hey, you better watch out. Hey, you better watch out China's doing this China's beating us in this better watch out for China in your opinion
What's a China's a kill these heal at this point? What are they not seeing? What are they slipping on that?
You want me to give you my opinion?
Yeah, your opinion.
If the world unites China's in trouble,
I think that's their Achilles heel.
If the world unites China's in trouble,
if the world realizes,
they don't, if the world finds a different place
to produce chips.
If the world finds a different place to produce
the 80% of pharmaceutical,
if the world finds a different place to produce the 80% of pharmaceuticals, if the world finds a different place to produce the AC,
the everything that they produce over there.
If the world realizes they don't need China,
and that shifts from China to India, China's screwed.
By the way, India has more resources, more natural resources.
India has the same amount of people,
give or take 100 million less.
India is the education is getting better with the engineers that produce them,
with the tech, with the direction they're going going into India's got a lot of stuff now obviously there a decade behind China
Maybe even two decades behind China and they don't have the same infrastructure
I try maybe not two decades, but they don't have the infrastructure that China has
But if all of a sudden the world gets behind India instead of getting behind China
I don't think China is gonna be up. I think secretly China's afraid of the world uniting, and China's afraid of the world leaning
and giving the business to India instead of giving it to China.
I don't think they like that.
I agree with you.
I think the threat for China is within,
and it's all about the economy.
And China is ahead of India right now
because they stole all our secrets.
I mean, that was part of their strategy.
They look at what we do, and they copy it.
I think we could help India close that gap pretty quickly.
Like if we collaborated with them with our best and brightest
and help them advance technology
with everything that they're doing, look,
and they have a much more progressive leader
in that country that's an ally of ours.
Moody you're saying?
Yeah, yeah, but listen, that's what I would say.
I think they, if they think that for a second the world is looking at India and
Break doing deals with India. They're they're not happy about it. What's not just India? It's Taiwan Taiwan
It's in Philippines. It's Vietnam. It's Cambodia everything in the I don't try to see Japan. Yeah, all of that is fine
Yeah, I'm with you there, but India could be a direct threat, a direct threat.
Look who they took shots at on Weibo.
They took shots at India when India had the COVID stuff taken.
They did 400,000 cases a day for seven days.
They took shots at India.
They made fun of India.
The politicians at the top made fun of India.
Who do people typically make fun of?
They're number one competitor. The exact people that are in their head. That's in their head. I think India's in made fun of India. Who do people typically make fun of? They're number one competitor.
The exact people that are in their head, you know?
That's in their head.
I think India's in the head of China.
And obviously, obviously India has come out
banned a lot of the social platform,
but the exact, 100 different apps
have been de-platformed in India.
So India and China, they're,
when you're headed for a collision,
when you have a billion people, you have power.
I mean, you just do.
So we'll see. And there's only people, you have power. I mean, you just do. So we'll see.
There's only two countries that have that.
So there's a direct battle going on for that.
Anyway, say, let's do a fun story here.
Disneyland is about to introduce a hundred dollar sandwich.
Okay, Kai, if you wanna pull up the picture here,
if you have it, Disney is introducing a hundred dollar sandwich.
So when I heard this story, I said,
you gotta be kidding me.
Disney lands in introducing a hundred dollar sandwich. It's a Fox business story. Yes. What's the
sandwich look like? So here's what it is. Real quick. We'll spend two minutes on
this. Disney Resort will come out soon and they're opening up. Anaheim,
California resort will have a new Pininni sandwich that will be debuting when
Avengers Campus opens at Disneyland adventures on June 4th. The sandwich has an eye popping price tag of $100
to be fed to the sandwich is meant to be eaten
by more than one person.
So what's in the sandwich that costs this much money?
It comes with salami, rosemary ham, provolone
and sundry tomato spread on toasted focaccia
and focaccia and can feed up to eight people
the sandwich will also be available
in single serving of 15 bucks.
Can we see what the sandwich looks like?
Can you imagine a hundred dollars sandwich in Disneyland?
It does look good.
It's a pinini.
I don't know, I just kind of feel like I'm so,
at this point I'm getting hungry, I'm hungry,
it's 10.30 and I thought that was a quick story.
Yeah, penny thoughts on that.
I have some thoughts.
I'm looking forward to their four.
Very controversial story here.
So I'm looking forward to their $435 chicken nugget
I mean, I heard that is amazing. They also have a $200 hot dog bun
But here's my favorite the $130 parking fee. Oh wait, they already have that you know, it totally makes it really
Well, it feels like that when you go there. I'm not sure it actually you know, you're curious
Can I give everybody the secret to do a Disney? Yes, you learn this live down there. Go to downtown Disney, right, where the bars are,
you know, where the restaurants are, valet, right?
Okay, and then just go in and have a drink
before you walk into Disneyland.
So you can dilute the pain a little bit
that you're gonna feel walking around with your kids
for the next couple hours.
That's our strategy, valet park, drink before you go in,
and then it makes it a lot more enjoyable.
By the way, I think it's a brilliant idea
to have a hundred dollars sandwich
because it takes the sting off the increased ticket prices,
the twelve dollar bottle of water,
it just skews perspective.
How much is tickets right now, Disneyland?
Probably what, a hundred?
I would imagine.
Maybe even more, bro.
Yeah.
I mean, they gotta make up for some lost time.
Anybody knows that Kai, do you have an idea or no?
Adam, I know you're big on that.
So, we got Disneyland ticket prices or no?
I'm saying 150 bucks. Yeah, there's, yeah. in the land ticket prices or no? I'm saying 150 bucks.
That's what they're saying.
What is it, by the way?
I'm actually curious at this point.
I think it's like 159 bucks if you ask me.
I don't know why I think it's 159.
There it is.
Okay, 104.
It's the prices for a number of days.
One day is 104.
What are you looking at?
It's one day tier five, one part per day.
Okay, 104 dollars. Okay, not a bad price if you per day. Okay, $104.
Okay, not a bad price, if you ask me.
Not a $98 a child.
Okay, that's what's expensive right there,
but $90 a child.
You got a couple kids?
Well, I'll tell you what,
I'd rather do a $72 haircut than a $100 sale,
which any day of the week.
Wow, would you really though?
Yeah.
So you mean to tell me you wouldn't want to have
a $100 pinini with Kai,
with Paul, Mario, with Eric, you wouldn't want to do a hundred dollar per penny with Kai, with Paul, Mario, with Eric,
with you, you wouldn't want to do that with your boys.
That's a man with right there.
That's a man with right there.
I'd go on that.
Okay, let's continue.
Let's continue.
Let's continue.
Tim Cook, defense Apple and Blackbuster Fortnite trial.
It has nothing to do with money.
Page five, if you want to go to it.
So this was going on a few months ago,
but the story's back.
He was in court this week in his first ever court appearance
as CEO of Apple on Friday, Tim Cook sought to defend the
tech giant from allegations that it abuses its market power
by touting it as a principal company with an obsessive
focus on users.
The iPhone maker's chief executive took the stand to wrap up
Apple's case on its ice profile antitrust trial with Epic
games at the center of the lawsuits at for as fortnight the highly hugely popular video game made
by Epic that was kicked out of Apple's App Store last summer by for flooring.
Flouting apples rules of digital payments by establishing its own system Apple gets 30%
cut of many in app purchases on iOS devices and does not allow alternative payment solutions
for now removal from the app store prompt that Epic to sue Apple.
Apple is focused on doing what's best for users rather than any financial benefits
cook said when asked by Epic, Epic's lawyer where the Apple is considering the revenue
in X of $100 million in commissions it receives from Epic and Fortnite.
He said, the user is caught between two companies.
It has nothing to do with money.
You agree?
Let me tell you something.
Anytime someone says, this is an old adage, everyone knows this.
Anyone says it's not about the money,
it's about the mother flipping money, okay?
It always is.
Yeah, there it is.
It's about the money.
I'm gonna make a prediction, and as we all know,
my predictions are never wrong.
Who predicted that? Who predicted that?
That's what he would be.
Stay off Facebook.
I have a hot winning streak right now.
Here's my next one.
I'm going to have to have to check a win streak.
I'm going to have to check a win streak.
A zenerate streak.
Yeah, it's recent.
Okay, well, you know, I'm a lot more runner.
Don't even get me started on Zenerate's predictions.
Apple is winning this lawsuit.
100%.
It's over.
They're in closing arguments right now.
There's no way they lose Apple wins. 100% by the way
That was the first time Tim Cook has ever appeared in court as the CEO of Apple. Here's what I think he should do
I think he should do and an NFT on his appearance in court sell that sucker to cover any court cost in case things do go sideways
You know what? I'm gonna give you my personal opinion on this. It's not based on anything about this court case
I hope fortnight loses. I don't like them. I don't like companies that build their games to get kids addicted and that's what they do
So I got a problem with them. I want Apple to ask you this. Let me ask you this question would dash be upset with that comment
Hell no cuz a he's never gonna play it as he as he played for
He's never played for my god. He will not be a lot of why not because we don't allow him play games
What if he's 28 years old? Well, then I won't be a man. You don't know that.
I'm gonna be a
We met dash. He was walking around the street doing every
Freely freely 10-year-old kid just walking the streets of Manhattan Beach
You don't think he's going to his homies house playing video games don't tell my dad Tom's

He's 12.
He's 12.
I can't wait the next 18 years to see the list of girlfriend's

I want Tom's gonna say, Patty, when he's see dashes,
latest girlfriend, send me to picture.
I'm like, I'm not leaving.
You know what I'm worried about I'm making a prediction here it is
That don't listen to this part. That's not good for you when you got double D connecting you got dash and dilly boy over there
Connecting dash and Dylan. Did he got a scar that's a difficult duo right there. They got a scar
You know what dilly did to me last night? He says dad look at this. I can raise one of my eyebrows
And he started doing one. He started doing it just like a walk.
And he had to see how he does it.
He started, like, what'd you pick it up from?
He says, no, I was looking at the mirror of that
and I can raise only one of my eyebrows.
Look at the way I do.
Smooth.
Smooth.
It goes like this.
I got a post to see it.
It's that smooth.
So dude, we're all in favor of our kids

So I hope they can get together.
That's great.
I promise you that.
I promise you that.
Dash and Dylan will get along just fun.

She's a little on lyre. I heard that you were considering cutting off your thumb in order to beat me in pink
That's not the thumb is index finger
This finger gets in the way this whole time I thought it was the thumb it's whole time
Because you're index finger. All right. Maybe we got to go alive
Maybe we got to go best out of five and we go alive
And I'll see to see who's a better
Better play by playing that with you know I get five points, but I get five points
I start off with five zero and then we go down
Actually, that's actually gonna cut off your finger actually better than me by five points
Would you agree?
It's a 16 to four to five point five points. All right. There's a 16 21 17 21
It is what it is. It is what it is but okay, so next story next story do we want to do the
Netflix story or the KGB story which Which story do you want to go to?
How about we talk about the buying home pan?
Go to page three.
Go to page three.
Go to page three.
This is good because the real estate people
are going to love this one.
They're going to be like, me, I want to.
Yes, this is why you got to buy a house right now.
Yeah, right.
To all the realtors out there, this is a story for you.
People are panic buying homes as prices skyrocket
around the world, a CNN business story, house prices have soared,
even as the world suffered.
It's worse slumps since the Great Depression.
From New Zealand to United States to Germany, China Peru,
the same phenomenon has taken hold.
Home prices are skyrocketing, and many buyers are panicking.
Amongst the 37 wealthy countries that make up the organization
for economic cooperation and development,
the OECD Real House prices rose by almost 7%
between the fourth quarter of 2019 and the fourth quarter
of 2020, the fastest year on your growth in the past two decades.
In the United States, the number of sales existing homes
reached the highest level in 2020 since 2006,
according to the National Associate of Real,
Realtors, house prices rose 9% in 2020.
And I've continued to climb with the median price of existing
home hitting a historic high of $329,000 in March in one staggering example of how frenzy
the house market has become the realtor Ellen Coleman received 76 all cash offers on a
$275,000 fixer upper and suburban square foot homes sold $460,000,
Washington, DC within three days of listing the proper.
Let me say this one more time, 76 all cash offers on a $275,000 fixer
rep or in DC, the four bedroom, 1,800 square foot homes sold for $460,000,
a 70% increase on asking price.
So this was a $275,000 fixer up or sold for $460.
Which the amazing thing about that is you could understand it
for a $20 million house, right?
Because you got a billion there buying it
and they don't care what's a few extra million.
But look at this thing, this is a conservative house.
You know, this is nothing fancy.
What's the value gonna be if the market tanks for them?
That was quite a risk.
And by the way, my sister and brother-in-law are moving to DC.
So I hope they can find a house. It looks like it's really,
really tough and competitive out there. You know, I've heard of panic
buying when it comes to toilet paper, when it comes to paper towels,
when it comes to hand sanitizer, maybe plywood before a hurricane.
I get that. But hey, honey, how was your day? Well, I drove by a
Realtors office and I picked up our two-story rambler in a condo.
I'm stocking up because of the pandemic.
I don't get the panic buying when it comes to real estate.
I don't get it.
The only thing I can see is the fact
that inflation is coming at crazy measures.
The only thing I see is that inflation's coming
and they're getting to a point where Powell
is sitting there wondering what the hell does he do.
He has to increase the rates, but if he increases the rates, what happens?
He has no choice but to have to increase the rates.
How much longer can you go keeping it under one percent for this long?
You can.
He has to increase it.
When he does, just so you know, it ain't going to be the same community as we have right
now.
Right.
Inflation is going to go up and some people are looking at a long term as the best place
to put it is real estate.
The people I feel sorry for and I'll let you go.
And I mean, is the people that got in this late as realtors, I bet there was a lot of
people that saw the frenzy in the real estate market and thought, I'm going to be a real
term, they get their license, they get in late.
Yeah.
Right? Because you got to have some contacts and experience, but you become a realtor in
three months when the thing tanks, there's going to be a lot of people on the wrong end
of the time. You talked about that there's a million realtors
and there's a 1.5 million realtors
and there's only a million houses for sale,
something like that.
1,435,000 realtors, 1,090,000 homes for sale.
So let me, you actually brought up a good point.
The panic buying on the toilet paper,
the panic buying that we saw a couple weeks ago
on the gasoline, now we're seeing the panic buying of homes
just to read the headline again,
people are panic buying homes
as prices skyrocket around the world.
Let me just read you a couple of the highlighted words
that I've read just from this article.
Panic, frenzied, highest level, historic highs,
skyrocketing, soaring, fastest growth,
that's never a good time to be going all in
on a certain asset class.
I don't think people are buying houses because they're worried about inflation.
I think they're saying, people are buying now, I got a buy, I got a buy, I got a buy,
this is how I'm to buy, I got a buy.
And they have no clue what they're getting themselves into.
Two thirds of millennials basically had remorse or regret about buying a house.
Half of baby boomers, buying a house is ain't exactly all that is cracked up to be.
You think that you're going to only pay in your mortgage payment.
We talked about your big three expenses when it comes to having home ownership, your maintenance,
your taxes, and your insurance, and people don't account for that.
So pump the brakes if you're on the housing market.
I think that prices are going to crash over the next couple of years.
How much?
How big of a crash is it going to be?
Oh, you think 20%.
Yeah. You think 20%. Yes. In the next 12 months. That's not going on in the next couple of years. How much? How big of a crash is it? 20%? Oh, you think 20%. Yeah.
You think 20% in the next 12 months.
That's not in the next few years.
That's like, oh, wait, right?
No, no, no, no, not like, oh, wait.
Oh, wait, it was way more than 20%.
Okay.
And no, in some parts of the country, it was like,
I think in LA Riverside County was a 60% drop-off that they had.
Great. Yes.
But in Texas, it was a 10 or 50% drop-off.
They didn't have a big drop off.
So some states are going to be hired and others.
California usually takes it worse when there is a big drop off.
You know, another thing here too is I think people were panic buying because of the lockdown
and they're thinking, I got to have a home office, right?
I'm going to be, I'm not going to be commuting as much.
I'm going to be home, but now the country's opening up.
You're not going to be working hopefully at a home, you know, unless China sends another
virus over here allegedly. but so that's another reason
they were fixing up their homes.
They wanted bigger home offices to work out of there, et cetera.
Okay, all right, well, we'll see what's gonna happen with that.
Easy, easy, easy.
We will see what's gonna happen with that.
Netflix CEO gives $3 million to beat Newsom recall.
Not to beat Newsom, but to beat the recall.
There's a big difference, right?
So let's see why Netflix CEO is doing this.
So Netflix CEO gives $3 million to beat the Newsom.
Re-call is a political story.
He is spending $3 million to shield Governor Newsom from a recall vote and demonstration
of the enormous sums.
Some Newsom's allies could marshal in his defense according to a state filing.
The massive outlay making hastings by far the largest donor to the Newsom's recall campaign on the California rules. Newsom can raise unlimited
sums to fend off a recall effort that will likely land before voters in a fall. While other
governor candidates are subject to campaign limits of $32,400 per election in their direct
accounts. The Hastings contribution can punctuate, also punctuates a dramatic reversal since Nusom ran
for governor in 2018.
Hastings that report seven million dollars
into a charter school driven political action committee
that supported Nusom's democratic rival,
former Los Angeles mayor, Antonio Viogrosa.
Interesting.
So he gave seven million dollars to Antonio.
Tech leaders had already signed on to a letter posing to recall and pledging that their
support to pledging their support for Newsom thoughts.
My thoughts are that he's probably thinking that if there's a Republican governor in
California, it might be somebody like DeSantis that declares war on tech companies, which
would directly affect him.
So he's going to do everything he can to prevent that.
You know, I live there. There's no momentum for any candidate whatsoever. John Cox is the former mayor
of San Diego. San Diego that's supposed to be one of the big names throwing his hat in
the ring. He just puts seven million of his own money into his own campaign. He don't
see any ads. You don't hear anything. There's no, there's no energy for anybody. Unfortunately,
I think, you know, new something got very, very lucky. You know, California with all
the tax revenue is, is helped him. People are have short memories. You know, Newsom got very, very lucky. You know, California with all the tax revenue has helped him.
People have short memories.
You know, the thing, okay, it's better now.
It's opening up.
We'll just go with what we have.
Now, I read in the LA Times today that there's a chance
because of the blackouts that could be happening this summer.
I mean, we're gonna have a ton of fires again.
And then the grid in California has a real hard time keeping up
with the electricity demands when the weather goes up.
If there's a lot of blackouts, that could affect them as well.
But in order for Newsom to lose, there has to be somebody that you want in there.
And I just don't see anybody having any momentum yet.
And by the way, he's not going to be the only one.
You have unlimited funds that you can use in a recall election.
There's no limit on your war chest.
JJ Abrams has pledged money.
I saw the CEO of the 49ers.
You got the labor unions law firms
sending big bucks, new sums away.
So, but if you ask me about read hastings,
I think it has to do something
with protecting his business.
Yeah, so you don't think our good friend,
Major Williams that you're on the podcast with?
Major Williams, you don't think he's in a chance?
Well, 2022, I think he also is thinking
in the back of his mind.
That's a good start now.
Well, it's just gonna be tough for anybody.
And then you also got this guy, Meet Kevin, who came out there and he was a 20 point plan. That's a good story now. Well, it's just gonna be tough for anybody. And then you also got this guy,
Meet Kevin, who came out there
and he was a 20 point plan.
He's talking about running.
But basically, I think ultimately what you're saying
is nobody has the wind behind them
that has any chance of beating Newsom,
especially when you have big tech rallying behind him.
And he has unlimited sums of money
whereas I guess other candidates
are subject to can-bake limits of $32,000 per election versus unlimited
funds.
Money talks, maybe, and it seems like Newsom's got the money.
I got a quote, I just searched it right now to know this.
What do you think is the age to become a governor?
President is what?
35.
35 is the age to be a governor.
35 is not.
It's not.
It varies by state, FYI.
Okay.
Most states is 30.
Most. The highest one, matter of fact, nobody has it above 30.
Just so you know, every state is highest 30.
What do you think California is?
34.
18.
I'm telling you, California, Ohio, I'm looking at it right now.
California, Ohio, Rhode Island, and Washington and Wisconsin are the five states where to
be a governor's 18 years old. Which means, do you think a guy like like me Kevin? He's a hustler. He's hungry. He goes after it
He's not afraid. He's he's very good on camera great very well-spoken understands money has strong opinions
Do you think a guy like that could be a governor in the state of California a young guy like me Kevin?
If he's going against Newsom zero chance zero chance Zero chance. Against Newsom? Tell me why.
Against Newsom.
Tell me why.
Tell me why.
Tell me why.
Newsom clearly has big tech behind him.
Okay, what else?
Okay.
So he called that Instagram, right?
He's calling, he sent me a message the other day saying,
hey, you know, I've been following your content.
He's been following by Tim and since a thousand subscribers.
I said, listen, I love your stuff as well.
You're killing it.
So I've following them on Instagram because I like
what he's doing. I would love to see a young cat
like that come up out of nowhere. And by the way, whether he wins or not, do you know
how much energy it takes to make a run for governor like how much energy it takes all day
every day? I think a young guy with a lot of energy. By the way, my friend Steve just
sent me a text message right now.
Okay.
And guess what the text message is about?
It's a text message he sent about Meat Kevin.
I got it at 10.19, which is 30 minutes ago, right?
Meat Kevin.
And he says, I like what he's talking with Newsom.
Now Steve lives in California, right?
There are a lot of people that are hoping somebody like him comes up and makes a move.
And I think a young guy with a lot of energy in a state like California, that's 18 years old
to run for governor and he's got a few million subscribers.
Go at it.
I'd love to see what happens.
Let me clarify my statements.
Do I think he's got upside?
Sure.
Sure.
But he should be new some.
Not this time around, not even close.
Well, here, but not even close this time around.
Give me your percentage.
Like one percent.
Is there a number less than zero?
This time around, I'm not talking about four years.
I'm not talking about it eight years. Kevin, if you're talking about this time around, I'm not talking about four years, I'm not talking about eight years.
Kevin, if you're talking about this time around,
I would tell you to go slash his tires,
but he doesn't have a car.
He doesn't have a car.
He would have to slash over drivers and ball-
He's an a knock on the young man, Nick Cavan.
I think he's a knock.
Kevin, I want you to take it as a knock.
Okay.
I want you to take this clip and take it as a knock.
Go ahead, Kevin, go ahead.
I'd love to have him on the show on deck.
No chance at all.
This time around.
Let me be a voice of reason once again.
Let me help you out.
Meet Kevin.
Flip flopper over here.
Voice of reason.
Oh, I am a voice of reason.
We're about to go into the business.
Hey, listen guys, meet Kevin has a legitimate chance
and I'll tell you why, because someone that can rally people
on social media is like being a celebrity.
What happened the last time an upset happened
in a recall election, a celebrity wanted.
Look what happened.
Did you guys hear what happening in Huntington Beach this past weekend?
There was a TikTok birthday party on the beach in Huntington Beach and every single jurisdiction
in Orange County had to send cops there.
They arrested 1500 people.
It was so out of control.
And it was because of social media.
You telling me a guy like me, Kevin couldn't get a little momentum going online, build it,
turning it into an army of followers?
By the way, I'm finding his policies.
Has he posted anything with his policies on his website?
It's 20 point plan.
Can you pull up his policy?
Let's just see what he has up there on his website.
I don't know his policies.
Let's, the kid, if he's, if he, if he, if he,
if click on that, let's go to,
if he's interested in running for politics,
I think he's got an upside, not against new stuff.
No, go lower, go lower.
Kevin, okay, there it is, right there.
All right, let's see me, Kevin, go a little lower, go lower go lower Kevin. Okay. There it is right there All right, let's see me Kevin go a little lower go a little lower
No stating come tax on the first quarter million dollars of income interesting removes the California
Okay, hang on ruins the government of the court million no california tax return required and approximate five to seven percent flat tax on income above
Quarter million dollars. Okay. Okay. Okay, fair keep going number two homeless emergency
Housing for all homelessness within 60 days via emergency powers medical
Insubstance been told it was available three meals per day in centralism
And then no one lives on the streets in our state anymore within 60 days
Okay, I vote for him right now on that one point. Well, I don't care about anything how much money he needs to do that
To say that as a different story than coming up with the money especially after you just time guys
We have all the tax you just got taxed so future school at 14 years old students have a choice to attend a future school combines
College trade high school and financial education students graduate terms of a junior zone in partnership with small medium and large business throughout California
Okay, cool. I like that the future the housing emergency
We have unaffordable rents and housing due to a lack of homes instead of 80,000 new units per year
California v emergency powers will build 500,000 new housing units per year for five
year, state will control all buildings and
transform them, okay fine, go to the next one.
The transportation emergency requests proposals,
probably to solve transportation emergency, optional variable toll roads, new roads,
in addition to existing roads with tolls, given drivers the option to make a toll
road or not more roads equals less traffic.
Okay, keep going.
Legalizing Gamble care was stopped supporting tunnels and roads to new communities via construction boom. Okay. Six, legalizing gambling, legalized online and in-person gambling, Bill Casinos
throughout California, 5th to 10 billion dollar tax revenue expected from construction. Bill
doubts, prevents returning to state income taxes. Okay, and I think that could be interesting. I just don't know the Indian reservation.
Like there's some challenges you're gonna face with that.
Today, millions of deep California
into a traffic issue in Camel Elzbo,
why not do this?
I'm always like, yeah, I agree.
They're going right next door to him,
which is where Nevada, right?
No more blackouts.
This is gonna be a big one.
You were talking about the blackouts.
Can you tell the audience why blackouts a big deal?
Because, you know, it's just down there,
they do these rolling blackouts and it shuts down the audience why blackouts a big deal? Because, you know, it shuts down, they do these rolling blackouts
and it shuts down the energy.
Your lecture's, it goes out,
it happened to us last week, twice.
What does this mean blackouts?
Like flat out blackouts?
Yeah, yeah, we're the only California.
Yeah, because there's so much pressure on the grid
when the temperatures are up
and people are maxing their air conditioning
that they have to shut it down.
How long does it go out?
Uh, hours generally, not much more than that,
but hours, like, hours is a long time.
A long time.
So hours without AC.
Sure.
Absolutely.
Okay.
So no more blackout buildings.
Plus the power companies are responsible for most of these fires anyway.
It happens right underneath their power.
I lived in California, but that was six years ago, five and a half years ago.
I don't remember a lot of blackouts, five and a half years ago.
I know it's got worse with the fires.
Yeah.
All right.
No more blackouts.
More people.
We're going to say future courts, small claims limits raised to $100,000. New small I'm okay, future courts, small claims,
limits raised to $100,000, new small claims,
advisors, and other things,
and I'm in Spain, legalists, and by missing our courts,
okay, nine, transform into DMV and virtual IDs,
virtual IDs and registration, we queue up with
those virtual IDs.
I disagree with that.
The DMV is awesome in California,
no change necessary, it's perfect.
Why is he tight, I'm joking.
Oh my gosh, I was gonna say,
I have like 20 stories for you from DMV.
By the one time I was at the DMV and right in front of me,
I'm like, is this why I think it is, was Dr. Dre.
We weren't lying for like 30 minutes,
we had a great conversation.
I said, so you also gotta get a license.
Yeah, I can't get away with that.
I'm like, there you go.
So number 10, future policing and Jail's,
instant focus on the number of gun, okay, 11 underground,
hide the handy person economy,
current law criminalizes being a handy person, immediately create a handy person license, providing a path to insurance, Instant focus on the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of Train gun owners are currently treated like criminals in California.

Okay, I mean, we'll see what's gonna happen there.
He seems like he's got a plan.
So I'm curious to know what happens.
All I'm saying is I would love to see some young folks
with a lot of energy to go out there
and push their way to run.
They're gonna be bullied.
I'm not surprised if meat kevin's gonna be bullied.
He's gonna be challenged.
He's gonna be pushed around.
People gonna laugh at him.
There's no way this can happen.
All this other stuff.
I also think on the flip side,
he's gonna also be able to create some momentum.
Yeah, there's a market for common sense right now.
And I think if you can speak,
but people might not admit it,
but they will rally and support him. All right. I think it's interesting that when Major Williams is on here you said I have an idea for you.
You should start implementing the phrase, try me. Yeah. And on every social media post he hashtag. I love it.
Try me. I would love to see more of those guys creating momentum and challenge in the status quo.
Totally agree. I want to see that thing.
I'm going to see that thing coming.
Behind Newsom, he's not going to get recode.
Yeah, there is one story I want to get into.
There's one story I want to get into. Ta-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da- one here because we're so we've already done six or seven. I said we're gonna do one two or three. You give a super chat. Whatever you give ten times more. We're gonna give it back to I think we've
already given two thousand dollars one two thousand at least two thousand dollars we've given away.
So if you give a hundred bucks, I like it. I'm gonna start leaving comments over here. I go to page go to page
go to page seven go to page seven. So that again all these payments are being handed out in quarters right?

Where is my quarters? Where is my quarters? Where is my quarters? Where is my quarters? Where is my quarters? Fox News story. How speaker Nancy Pelosi tried to say that I should roll out a representative. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Green New Deal in 2019 because
she was anxious about the new
Congresswoman's notoriety becoming
actual power.
According to a new book about
the insider Democratic politics
obtained by Fox News in February
2019, Pelosi called Massachusetts
Senator Ed Markey the night before
he was scheduled to help roll out
the Green New Deal.
She asked him to hold off.
She wanted more substantive
policy.
The politics weren't good right then. Don't give the platform to Ocasio-Cortez. She urged
anxious about the new Congresswoman's notoriety becoming an actual power. Edward Isaac Dover
writes in battle for the soul inside the Democrats campaign to defeat Trump. The Green New Deal
rollout formally outlined the proposal in Congress for the first time. And would Marquis start on the
path towards what AOC called
a wartime level just economic mobilization plan
to get to 100% renewable energy,
cost estimates for the sprawling proposal,
range into the trillions.
Dovers book will be published on Tuesday.
So AOC was concerned about, I'm sorry,
Pelosi was concerned about AOC creating momentum.
Yeah, you know, she's old school man.
This is my house, speaker of the house. I finally found her in reason to momentum. Yeah, you know, she's old school, man. There's my house, speaker of the house.
I finally finally run reason to like Nancy Pelosi, you know.
She's gonna lay in the hammer down there.
That book has got so many explosive findings in it.
That's the book that has Obama, Ripon Trump,
Obama swearing at the media.
Obama's got a pretty filthy mouth.
If you read this book,
you're gonna be blown away how much that guy swears.
That's what Trump will do to Obama, get him, get him,
get him person.
Oh well, well, this is just a classic case of reality versus fantasy land as
it's a what you want to about uh... Nancy Pelosi she's been doing this for
forty years at least she's living in reality where a o c is just fantasy
land over here with her trillion dollar green new deal
and this is nervous Nancy basically saying
pump the brakes on a o c uh, that woke cancel culture leftist movement
on the left of the Democratic Party.
They don't exactly have a lot of substance to their numbers.
I don't think,
Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez has been in power
what two, three years now?
Is there a second term right now?
And I don't think she understands how budgeting works
and that's the problem that she's gonna face.
But she does have upside.
If she actually learns math,
she's a dangerous political figure.
Oh, let me ask you a couple of questions.
Who's more attractive?
Heropolo Pelosi.
I mean, come on, it's not even a question.
Okay.
All right, who's got a bigger following on Twitter?
Heropolo Pelosi.
It's not even a comparison.
Pelosi's at 7 million.
AOC, it just so you know,
I said Pelosi is what? million, AOC, I said Pelosi is what?
7 million AOC is at, come on AOC, where are you at?
AOC is at 12.7 million, okay.
Who's better at rallying?
AOC or Pelosi?
AOC.
AOC.
Who understands social media better?
AOC or Pelosi?
Who's more marketable, long term?
AOC or Pelosi?
Who's a better salesperson? AOC or Pelosi?
Who's you want to keep going with those? It's like you talked about with China and India. You attack people who are threatening.
She's fairly threatened by AOC. Exactly and she is more marketable. I don't agree with her policies,
