Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:11 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,
Starting point is 00:00:27 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.
Starting point is 00:00:40 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
Starting point is 00:01:01 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.
Starting point is 00:01:19 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.
Starting point is 00:01:34 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?
Starting point is 00:01:47 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.
Starting point is 00:01:58 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,
Starting point is 00:02:11 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.
Starting point is 00:02:37 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.
Starting point is 00:02:56 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
Starting point is 00:03:18 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.
Starting point is 00:03:39 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
Starting point is 00:03:57 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?
Starting point is 00:04:34 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
Starting point is 00:04:51 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.
Starting point is 00:05:06 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?
Starting point is 00:05:30 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
Starting point is 00:06:06 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.
Starting point is 00:06:37 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
Starting point is 00:06:51 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.
Starting point is 00:07:17 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
Starting point is 00:07:38 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?
Starting point is 00:08:02 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.
Starting point is 00:08:10 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?
Starting point is 00:08:23 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.
Starting point is 00:08:48 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?
Starting point is 00:08:59 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.
Starting point is 00:09:15 800. 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?
Starting point is 00:09:29 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.
Starting point is 00:09:51 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.
Starting point is 00:10:05 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.
Starting point is 00:10:23 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.
Starting point is 00:10:40 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
Starting point is 00:10:59 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,
Starting point is 00:11:08 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.
Starting point is 00:11:16 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.
Starting point is 00:11:35 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.
Starting point is 00:11:52 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
Starting point is 00:12:19 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,
Starting point is 00:12:44 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,
Starting point is 00:13:03 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
Starting point is 00:13:56 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.
Starting point is 00:14:16 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.
Starting point is 00:14:34 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
Starting point is 00:15:01 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,
Starting point is 00:15:25 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,
Starting point is 00:15:36 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?
Starting point is 00:15:55 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
Starting point is 00:16:31 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.
Starting point is 00:16:56 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
Starting point is 00:17:16 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
Starting point is 00:17:40 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,
Starting point is 00:17:57 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,
Starting point is 00:18:12 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.
Starting point is 00:18:22 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.
Starting point is 00:18:39 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?
Starting point is 00:18:55 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
Starting point is 00:19:24 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!
Starting point is 00:19:36 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.
Starting point is 00:20:00 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.
Starting point is 00:20:17 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,
Starting point is 00:20:30 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.
Starting point is 00:20:40 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,
Starting point is 00:21:01 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.
Starting point is 00:21:18 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.
Starting point is 00:21:32 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.
Starting point is 00:21:46 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.
Starting point is 00:22:00 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.
Starting point is 00:22:19 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.
Starting point is 00:22:32 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.
Starting point is 00:22:43 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.
Starting point is 00:22:59 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
Starting point is 00:23:14 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
Starting point is 00:23:44 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,
Starting point is 00:24:01 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.
Starting point is 00:24:11 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.
Starting point is 00:24:22 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.
Starting point is 00:24:38 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
Starting point is 00:24:55 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.
Starting point is 00:25:12 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.
Starting point is 00:25:22 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?
Starting point is 00:25:46 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
Starting point is 00:26:37 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
Starting point is 00:27:07 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
Starting point is 00:27:34 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.
Starting point is 00:27:53 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.
Starting point is 00:28:13 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
Starting point is 00:28:32 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.
Starting point is 00:29:06 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?
Starting point is 00:29:22 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.
Starting point is 00:29:35 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.
Starting point is 00:29:49 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.
Starting point is 00:29:57 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.
Starting point is 00:30:10 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.
Starting point is 00:30:19 120 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
Starting point is 00:30:38 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.
Starting point is 00:30:48 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
Starting point is 00:31:07 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
Starting point is 00:31:50 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.
Starting point is 00:32:27 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.
Starting point is 00:32:50 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.
Starting point is 00:33:09 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
Starting point is 00:33:25 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.
Starting point is 00:33:39 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
Starting point is 00:33:58 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?
Starting point is 00:34:15 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
Starting point is 00:34:37 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.
Starting point is 00:34:56 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.
Starting point is 00:35:22 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
Starting point is 00:35:49 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.
Starting point is 00:36:10 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.
Starting point is 00:36:28 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.
Starting point is 00:36:39 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.
Starting point is 00:36:59 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
Starting point is 00:37:18 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.
Starting point is 00:37:38 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.
Starting point is 00:37:57 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.
Starting point is 00:38:11 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.
Starting point is 00:38:31 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.
Starting point is 00:38:42 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,
Starting point is 00:38:53 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,
Starting point is 00:39:16 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
Starting point is 00:39:39 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
Starting point is 00:40:03 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
Starting point is 00:40:21 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.
Starting point is 00:40:49 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
Starting point is 00:41:02 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.
Starting point is 00:41:19 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.
Starting point is 00:41:39 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.
Starting point is 00:41:57 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,
Starting point is 00:42:13 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.
Starting point is 00:42:22 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.
Starting point is 00:42:48 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
Starting point is 00:43:09 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,
Starting point is 00:43:32 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
Starting point is 00:43:45 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.
Starting point is 00:44:15 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.
Starting point is 00:44:30 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.
Starting point is 00:44:48 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.
Starting point is 00:44:57 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.
Starting point is 00:45:07 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?
Starting point is 00:45:21 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.
Starting point is 00:45:36 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
Starting point is 00:45:59 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.
Starting point is 00:46:12 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.
Starting point is 00:46:27 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.
Starting point is 00:46:36 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.
Starting point is 00:46:54 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,
Starting point is 00:47:15 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?
Starting point is 00:47:27 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.
Starting point is 00:47:40 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,
Starting point is 00:47:54 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,
Starting point is 00:48:09 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.
Starting point is 00:48:23 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.
Starting point is 00:48:34 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.
Starting point is 00:48:47 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.
Starting point is 00:49:00 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.
Starting point is 00:49:10 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?
Starting point is 00:49:22 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?
Starting point is 00:49:36 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.
Starting point is 00:49:57 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.
Starting point is 00:50:18 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.
Starting point is 00:50:34 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?
Starting point is 00:50:56 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.
Starting point is 00:51:19 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
Starting point is 00:51:32 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,
Starting point is 00:51:46 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?
Starting point is 00:51:56 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
Starting point is 00:52:12 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
Starting point is 00:52:36 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.
Starting point is 00:52:59 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
Starting point is 00:53:20 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.
Starting point is 00:53:33 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.
Starting point is 00:53:51 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.
Starting point is 00:54:05 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
Starting point is 00:54:24 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?
Starting point is 00:54:45 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,
Starting point is 00:55:04 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
Starting point is 00:55:24 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.
Starting point is 00:55:51 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?
Starting point is 00:56:01 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.
Starting point is 00:56:18 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.
Starting point is 00:56:38 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.
Starting point is 00:57:05 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
Starting point is 00:57:20 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.
Starting point is 00:57:38 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%
Starting point is 00:57:56 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.
Starting point is 00:58:18 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
Starting point is 00:58:34 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
Starting point is 00:58:52 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.
Starting point is 00:59:13 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
Starting point is 00:59:42 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.
Starting point is 01:00:03 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.
Starting point is 01:00:45 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.
Starting point is 01:01:08 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
Starting point is 01:01:46 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.
Starting point is 01:02:19 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
Starting point is 01:03:01 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.
Starting point is 01:03:47 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.
Starting point is 01:04:28 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.
Starting point is 01:04:46 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.
Starting point is 01:05:06 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,
Starting point is 01:05:20 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
Starting point is 01:05:53 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.
Starting point is 01:06:18 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?
Starting point is 01:06:38 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
Starting point is 01:07:11 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.
Starting point is 01:07:30 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.
Starting point is 01:08:08 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.
Starting point is 01:08:45 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?
Starting point is 01:08:58 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
Starting point is 01:09:27 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.
Starting point is 01:10:02 100% 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?
Starting point is 01:10:13 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.
Starting point is 01:10:27 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
Starting point is 01:11:01 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.
Starting point is 01:11:25 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.
Starting point is 01:11:40 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,
Starting point is 01:12:01 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.
Starting point is 01:12:26 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.
Starting point is 01:12:38 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
Starting point is 01:13:08 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,
Starting point is 01:13:38 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.
Starting point is 01:13:48 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.
Starting point is 01:14:02 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.
Starting point is 01:14:27 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.
Starting point is 01:14:37 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,
Starting point is 01:14:49 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.
Starting point is 01:15:03 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,
Starting point is 01:15:21 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
Starting point is 01:15:33 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.
Starting point is 01:15:43 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.
Starting point is 01:16:00 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
Starting point is 01:16:50 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.
Starting point is 01:17:19 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
Starting point is 01:17:53 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.
Starting point is 01:18:09 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
Starting point is 01:18:30 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.
Starting point is 01:18:47 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
Starting point is 01:19:14 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
Starting point is 01:19:30 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,
Starting point is 01:19:52 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,
Starting point is 01:20:14 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,
Starting point is 01:20:52 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,
Starting point is 01:21:07 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
Starting point is 01:21:29 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,
Starting point is 01:21:52 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
Starting point is 01:22:11 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
Starting point is 01:22:42 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?
Starting point is 01:23:04 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.
Starting point is 01:23:18 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.
Starting point is 01:23:32 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,
Starting point is 01:23:54 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
Starting point is 01:24:24 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,
Starting point is 01:24:35 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
Starting point is 01:24:55 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.
Starting point is 01:25:16 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?
Starting point is 01:25:31 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?
Starting point is 01:25:44 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.
Starting point is 01:25:54 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,
Starting point is 01:26:10 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
Starting point is 01:26:22 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.
Starting point is 01:26:33 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
Starting point is 01:26:51 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%
Starting point is 01:27:20 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?
Starting point is 01:27:47 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,
Starting point is 01:28:01 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.
Starting point is 01:28:12 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.
Starting point is 01:28:24 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

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.
Starting point is 01:30:12 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 having more friends with private jets. So I hope they can get together. That's great.

Starting point is 01:30:32 Oh, she can do it as well. She was given Vanessa the one eyebrow thing. I heard she beat you in pink pond, which was why. She's a lyre. She's a lyre. She's a little on lyre. 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
Starting point is 01:30:50 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?
Starting point is 01:31:12 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
Starting point is 01:31:31 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.
Starting point is 01:31:48 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
Starting point is 01:32:08 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
Starting point is 01:32:40 $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?
Starting point is 01:33:14 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,
Starting point is 01:33:29 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.
Starting point is 01:33:51 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?
Starting point is 01:34:15 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.
Starting point is 01:34:28 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
Starting point is 01:34:47 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,
Starting point is 01:35:05 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.
Starting point is 01:35:24 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,
Starting point is 01:35:51 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.
Starting point is 01:36:07 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.
Starting point is 01:36:21 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.
Starting point is 01:36:40 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.
Starting point is 01:37:01 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.
Starting point is 01:37:21 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,
Starting point is 01:37:56 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.
Starting point is 01:38:21 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.
Starting point is 01:38:47 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.
Starting point is 01:39:03 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.
Starting point is 01:39:23 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?
Starting point is 01:39:37 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.
Starting point is 01:39:48 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.
Starting point is 01:40:06 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.
Starting point is 01:40:19 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.
Starting point is 01:40:34 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.
Starting point is 01:41:08 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.
Starting point is 01:41:18 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
Starting point is 01:41:43 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?
Starting point is 01:41:57 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.
Starting point is 01:42:13 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.
Starting point is 01:42:24 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.
Starting point is 01:42:35 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.
Starting point is 01:42:46 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
Starting point is 01:42:57 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.
Starting point is 01:43:15 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?
Starting point is 01:43:30 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.
Starting point is 01:43:44 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
Starting point is 01:44:17 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.
Starting point is 01:44:51 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.
Starting point is 01:45:28 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.
Starting point is 01:45:39 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.
Starting point is 01:45:50 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?
Starting point is 01:46:01 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.
Starting point is 01:46:12 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.
Starting point is 01:46:22 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.
Starting point is 01:46:34 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.
Starting point is 01:46:51 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.

Starting point is 01:48:00 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.
Starting point is 01:48:14 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,
Starting point is 01:48:23 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.

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,
Starting point is 01:50:40 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.
Starting point is 01:50:57 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
Starting point is 01:51:16 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?
Starting point is 01:51:39 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?
Starting point is 01:51:53 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,
Starting point is 01:52:04 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?
Starting point is 01:52:19 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, but she is a much better politician than Pelosi. Although Pelosi is a dirtier politician behind closed doors because she's been around longer. So she's got an entire playbook of seven whatever,
Starting point is 01:52:49 50 years she's been into politics. She knows all the playbook versus news. I still think it was going to end up beating her long term if you asked me. Well, yeah, I think Nancy's retiring after this. It's a clearly long term. Yes. Yes. Yes. Got the upside. Okay. So I think we went through it.
