1
00:00:00,720 –> 00:00:03,920
Can you smoke a cigarette on the show?
2
00:00:04,640 –> 00:00:05,520
Yeah, and you know what?
3
00:00:05,520 –> 00:00:06,480
I ran out of Alps,
4
00:00:06,480 –> 00:00:06,800
bro.
5
00:00:06,800 –> 00:00:08,000
Those are good.
6
00:00:08,680 –> 00:00:09,280
They’re good.
7
00:00:09,320 –> 00:00:10,320
I’ve got them right here.
8
00:00:10,800 –> 00:00:12,160
I love cigarettes.
9
00:00:13,280 –> 00:00:14,240
You love drinking too,
10
00:00:14,240 –> 00:00:14,960
but you quit them all,
11
00:00:14,960 –> 00:00:15,120
man.
12
00:00:15,120 –> 00:00:15,880
What happened to you?
13
00:00:16,000 –> 00:00:16,800
I did.
14
00:00:17,080 –> 00:00:18,480
I’m still on the nicotine,
15
00:00:18,480 –> 00:00:19,520
and it’s the pizza.
16
00:00:20,000 –> 00:00:20,880
That’s the problem.
17
00:00:21,600 –> 00:00:22,960
The rest of it’s easy.
18
00:00:23,600 –> 00:00:24,960
It’s I can’t get off the pizza.
19
00:00:24,960 –> 00:00:26,400
That stuff is like crack.
20
00:00:26,440 –> 00:00:29,600
In fact, I’ve smoked crack and pizza is way more addictive.
21
00:00:33,280 –> 00:00:35,720
Live from downtown Detroit,
22
00:00:36,000 –> 00:00:40,480
it’s the No Bullshit News Hour with my main man,
23
00:00:40,800 –> 00:00:41,680
Charlie Ladell.
24
00:00:45,960 –> 00:00:46,920
And Karen Dumas.
25
00:00:47,120 –> 00:00:49,360
So still breaking up.
26
00:00:50,000 –> 00:00:51,080
Double or bullshit.
27
00:00:51,440 –> 00:00:52,240
Double or bullshit.
28
00:00:52,240 –> 00:00:53,440
All right,
29
00:00:53,440 –> 00:00:54,720
before we do what we’re gonna do,
30
00:00:54,720 –> 00:00:58,240
bro, can you spell tariffs?
31
00:00:58,560 –> 00:01:01,120
Before I talk to anybody in media,
32
00:01:01,520 –> 00:01:03,040
you least better know how to spell tariff.
33
00:01:03,600 –> 00:01:04,640
I think it’s 2 R’s,
34
00:01:04,640 –> 00:01:05,560
1F, but you know,
35
00:01:05,560 –> 00:01:06,320
I’m dyslexic,
36
00:01:06,320 –> 00:01:06,720
so.
37
00:01:09,920 –> 00:01:10,960
One R, 2F’s.
38
00:01:11,520 –> 00:01:12,560
One or two F’s.
39
00:01:12,600 –> 00:01:12,720
Yeah.
40
00:01:12,720 –> 00:01:14,320
I can’t spell necessary either.
41
00:01:14,320 –> 00:01:14,680
I can’t.
42
00:01:14,680 –> 00:01:17,280
I’ve written books and I can’t spell anything,
43
00:01:17,280 –> 00:01:17,800
but you know,
44
00:01:17,800 –> 00:01:19,040
I’m pleading brain damage.
45
00:01:19,040 –> 00:01:20,560
So that’s my excuse.
46
00:01:20,880 –> 00:01:21,120
All right.
47
00:01:21,120 –> 00:01:24,280
Well, what do you make of like the tariff talk?
48
00:01:25,200 –> 00:01:26,000
And you know,
49
00:01:26,000 –> 00:01:28,960
you have a lot of brilliant economists and whatnot
50
00:01:29,000 –> 00:01:29,600
on your program.
51
00:01:30,040 –> 00:01:31,200
What do you what do you think?
52
00:01:32,880 –> 00:01:33,640
I have no idea.
53
00:01:33,640 –> 00:01:34,200
I mean, of course,
54
00:01:34,200 –> 00:01:35,440
I’m hoping for the best.
55
00:01:36,400 –> 00:01:39,440
I generally don’t weigh in on economic matters because
56
00:01:39,600 –> 00:01:41,480
I don’t even know where my checking account is or
57
00:01:41,480 –> 00:01:42,320
if I have one.
58
00:01:43,200 –> 00:01:44,640
I try, especially as I age,
59
00:01:44,640 –> 00:01:47,280
to stay away from things I don’t understand.
60
00:01:48,480 –> 00:01:50,280
What I do understand is we shouldn’t have a war with
61
00:01:50,280 –> 00:01:50,800
Iran.
62
00:01:52,000 –> 00:01:53,840
So that’s kind of what I’ve been focused on.
63
00:01:53,840 –> 00:01:54,160
But
64
00:01:55,360 –> 00:01:55,920
You know, I,
65
00:01:56,160 –> 00:01:57,560
I, there’s a lot that’s,
66
00:01:57,560 –> 00:02:00,240
I mean, I spend most of the year in a in a place that
67
00:02:00,240 –> 00:02:03,440
was completely destroyed by deindustrialization,
68
00:02:03,440 –> 00:02:05,240
so I, I feel that I,
69
00:02:05,240 –> 00:02:08,960
I could write long essays or many books on the effects
70
00:02:09,240 –> 00:02:09,520
of…
71
00:02:10,320 –> 00:02:12,640
our trade policy over the past 40 years,
72
00:02:12,640 –> 00:02:15,640
but I’m a little less confident about what the solution
73
00:02:15,640 –> 00:02:15,840
is.
74
00:02:15,920 –> 00:02:16,400
Yeah, well,
75
00:02:16,720 –> 00:02:19,680
at least you’re aware of what a disaster it’s been,
76
00:02:19,840 –> 00:02:20,120
you know,
77
00:02:20,120 –> 00:02:22,040
and I’m based in Detroit.
78
00:02:22,040 –> 00:02:23,600
Well, I’m definitely aware.
79
00:02:23,680 –> 00:02:23,840
Yeah.
80
00:02:24,160 –> 00:02:24,920
Fucking kill this.
81
00:02:24,920 –> 00:02:26,600
So I want to,
82
00:02:26,600 –> 00:02:27,520
okay, let’s just do this.
83
00:02:29,120 –> 00:02:33,680
Economics are on their ass and there’s no new economic
84
00:02:34,000 –> 00:02:36,520
theory in the wake of neoliberalism,
85
00:02:36,640 –> 00:02:36,960
right?
86
00:02:37,400 –> 00:02:38,800
When we talk about
87
00:02:39,360 –> 00:02:40,000
trade.
88
00:02:40,480 –> 00:02:44,080
It’s all based on a 1776 book by Adam Smith,
89
00:02:44,080 –> 00:02:44,320
right?
90
00:02:44,320 –> 00:02:45,280
The Wealth of Nations.
91
00:02:45,560 –> 00:02:49,960
And that guy assumed at that time that labor wasn’t
92
00:02:49,960 –> 00:02:50,800
international,
93
00:02:51,120 –> 00:02:52,880
nor was the means of production.
94
00:02:52,880 –> 00:02:54,960
You have your people and your factories,
95
00:02:54,960 –> 00:02:55,880
you make what you make,
96
00:02:56,000 –> 00:02:57,120
we make what we make,
97
00:02:57,280 –> 00:02:58,760
you make what you make best,
98
00:02:58,760 –> 00:03:00,160
and we trade and everybody gets rich.
99
00:03:00,320 –> 00:03:02,640
But over the last 40 years,
100
00:03:02,880 –> 00:03:04,080
that’s all on its ass.
101
00:03:04,400 –> 00:03:04,640
right?
102
00:03:04,640 –> 00:03:07,200
You got, we ship out the work,
103
00:03:07,520 –> 00:03:10,000
Detroit, and what you can’t ship out,
104
00:03:10,160 –> 00:03:11,520
you ship the people in.
105
00:03:11,520 –> 00:03:13,520
So I want to give you something just because I want
106
00:03:13,520 –> 00:03:15,360
to talk about Maine,
107
00:03:15,720 –> 00:03:17,600
what we see with our people.
108
00:03:18,960 –> 00:03:22,120
Have you ever seen the movie American Dream by Barbara
109
00:03:22,120 –> 00:03:22,640
Koppel?
110
00:03:23,440 –> 00:03:23,720
No.
111
00:03:24,080 –> 00:03:27,680
It won the Academy Award in 1990 and you can’t find
112
00:03:27,680 –> 00:03:28,000
it now.
113
00:03:28,240 –> 00:03:29,040
So what it was,
114
00:03:29,440 –> 00:03:30,480
was in Minnesota,
115
00:03:30,720 –> 00:03:32,040
the Hormel Meat Plant,
116
00:03:32,040 –> 00:03:33,040
the Hormel Company,
117
00:03:33,680 –> 00:03:35,840
And Hormel made record profits,
118
00:03:36,160 –> 00:03:37,760
but they wanted him to take a 25%
119
00:03:37,760 –> 00:03:40,800
pay cut and a 33%
120
00:03:41,120 –> 00:03:42,640
cut in their benefits.
121
00:03:43,520 –> 00:03:45,440
And here’s just a little bit of the trailer.
122
00:03:45,600 –> 00:03:51,120
This, I want to show you this because when we glorify
123
00:03:51,680 –> 00:03:53,880
all the third world labor coming in and say,
124
00:03:54,080 –> 00:03:54,480
you know,
125
00:03:54,480 –> 00:03:57,040
we won’t do the work and God bless these people,
126
00:03:57,040 –> 00:03:57,760
we’d never eat,
127
00:03:57,840 –> 00:04:00,240
I want you to look at 1985,
128
00:04:00,320 –> 00:04:01,840
the year after I graduated high school.
129
00:04:05,560 –> 00:04:06,560
It’s a union meeting.
130
00:04:07,000 –> 00:04:09,240
What plan of action is everybody here looking for?
131
00:04:09,280 –> 00:04:11,480
What we’re doing makes sense and we believe in it.
132
00:04:11,560 –> 00:04:14,480
And belief is something that will carry you a long
133
00:04:14,560 –> 00:04:14,880
ways.
134
00:04:14,880 –> 00:04:16,720
It’s a doomed strategy.
135
00:04:16,800 –> 00:04:18,240
It was doomed from the beginning.
136
00:04:18,240 –> 00:04:21,560
We got to shut down every plant that Hormel owns Monday
137
00:04:21,560 –> 00:04:22,080
morning.
138
00:04:22,320 –> 00:04:24,600
Minnesota Governor Rudy Purpich today called out the
139
00:04:24,680 –> 00:04:26,760
National Guard trying to help maintain order.
140
00:04:26,760 –> 00:04:27,880
This is your community,
141
00:04:28,080 –> 00:04:30,000
not two or three of their greedy executives.
142
00:04:30,000 –> 00:04:32,920
This is a union check of mine.
143
00:04:33,680 –> 00:04:36,480
We ask that you do not cross it.
144
00:04:36,480 –> 00:04:39,000
It’s a question of morality because I was brought up
145
00:04:39,040 –> 00:04:41,360
that you do not cross the picket line no matter what.
146
00:04:41,360 –> 00:04:42,440
You union people.
147
00:04:42,720 –> 00:04:45,040
We ain’t crossing no picket lines.
148
00:04:47,800 –> 00:04:48,920
You’re crossing a picket line!
149
00:04:49,520 –> 00:04:53,160
You’re a scout!
150
00:04:53,160 –> 00:04:54,120
We’re going to get you a scout.
151
00:04:54,560 –> 00:04:56,400
My family is number one in my life,
152
00:04:56,400 –> 00:04:57,120
not my union.
153
00:04:57,200 –> 00:04:59,120
He won’t be my brother if you cross the line.
154
00:04:59,680 –> 00:05:02,000
We’ve got $100 million plant there that needs to be
155
00:05:02,000 –> 00:05:02,280
run.
156
00:05:02,560 –> 00:05:03,560
If they do stay out,
157
00:05:03,600 –> 00:05:06,080
they will be subject to replacement.
158
00:05:06,200 –> 00:05:07,600
They want to freeze us out.
159
00:05:08,200 –> 00:05:09,400
They want to starve us out.
160
00:05:10,000 –> 00:05:10,720
It’s a war.
161
00:05:13,360 –> 00:05:14,560
So, Tucker,
162
00:05:14,560 –> 00:05:17,040
does that look like people that wanted their jobs?
163
00:05:18,440 –> 00:05:20,320
It looks like a totally different country.
164
00:05:20,560 –> 00:05:22,280
I mean, a completely different country.
165
00:05:22,280 –> 00:05:23,920
I remember that country really well.
166
00:05:24,400 –> 00:05:26,080
I was dating the same girl I’m with now.
167
00:05:26,800 –> 00:05:28,320
So to me, it doesn’t feel that long ago,
168
00:05:28,320 –> 00:05:29,440
though it was 40 years.
169
00:05:29,440 –> 00:05:30,960
But the video,
170
00:05:30,960 –> 00:05:32,400
just the minute that you played,
171
00:05:32,880 –> 00:05:34,240
like that’s so gone.
172
00:05:34,600 –> 00:05:38,800
I mean, a country with white men with high testosterone
173
00:05:38,800 –> 00:05:40,800
levels is so gone.
174
00:05:41,440 –> 00:05:42,840
You know, when was the last time you were afraid of
175
00:05:42,840 –> 00:05:43,520
a white guy?
176
00:05:44,160 –> 00:05:45,680
It’s been a long time.
177
00:05:45,840 –> 00:05:46,800
No, I’m serious.
178
00:05:46,800 –> 00:05:49,680
I grew up in a world where white guys would kick your
179
00:05:49,680 –> 00:05:50,480
ass, you know,
180
00:05:50,480 –> 00:05:51,600
and in northern New England,
181
00:05:52,160 –> 00:05:53,040
the Irish guys,
182
00:05:53,040 –> 00:05:53,960
the French or whatever,
183
00:05:53,960 –> 00:05:54,720
you were polite,
184
00:05:55,120 –> 00:05:55,520
you know?
185
00:05:56,160 –> 00:05:59,760
So the first thing I noticed is that the nature of
186
00:05:59,760 –> 00:06:02,400
the population has changed completely,
187
00:06:02,960 –> 00:06:03,840
completely.
188
00:06:03,840 –> 00:06:05,760
I mean, there were bars in Maine that I was afraid
189
00:06:05,760 –> 00:06:06,160
to go into,
190
00:06:06,160 –> 00:06:07,800
Popeye’s Ice House in Portland.
191
00:06:07,800 –> 00:06:08,720
I mean, really,
192
00:06:08,720 –> 00:06:09,280
you know,
193
00:06:09,360 –> 00:06:10,560
get your teeth knocked out.
194
00:06:11,040 –> 00:06:12,640
And there’s nothing like that left.
195
00:06:12,640 –> 00:06:13,520
There’s something
196
00:06:14,640 –> 00:06:15,880
I don’t know if it was by design.
197
00:06:15,880 –> 00:06:17,360
I mean, clearly it was by design,
198
00:06:17,680 –> 00:06:19,520
but there are a lot of different things that change
199
00:06:19,520 –> 00:06:21,880
the nature of the people who were born in this country,
200
00:06:21,880 –> 00:06:24,400
and then they were replaced by people from other countries.
201
00:06:24,400 –> 00:06:26,160
So that’s the first thing I notice.
202
00:06:26,160 –> 00:06:26,880
Holy smokes.
203
00:06:26,880 –> 00:06:28,160
The second thing I notice is,
204
00:06:30,080 –> 00:06:30,240
you know,
205
00:06:30,240 –> 00:06:31,760
there was a time in my lifetime,
206
00:06:31,760 –> 00:06:32,520
I’m not that old,
207
00:06:32,520 –> 00:06:34,400
when labor disputes were,
208
00:06:34,400 –> 00:06:34,720
you know,
209
00:06:34,880 –> 00:06:35,760
were on the news.
210
00:06:36,200 –> 00:06:38,280
And I remember the paper mill strikes in Maine,
211
00:06:38,280 –> 00:06:38,880
and Jay Maine,
212
00:06:38,880 –> 00:06:39,360
for example.
213
00:06:39,360 –> 00:06:43,080
I saw a guy get beaten up in a bar in an argument over
214
00:06:43,080 –> 00:06:43,760
that strike.
215
00:06:44,400 –> 00:06:47,920
And I guess what I didn’t realize is that that was
216
00:06:47,920 –> 00:06:48,720
the end of something.
217
00:06:48,720 –> 00:06:52,480
I mean, that was kind of the last time in my life that
218
00:06:52,480 –> 00:06:53,600
labor had power.
219
00:06:54,160 –> 00:06:54,840
And then, of course,
220
00:06:54,840 –> 00:06:56,080
there’s no power now at all.
221
00:06:56,080 –> 00:06:57,160
Nobody cares about workers.
222
00:06:57,160 –> 00:07:00,720
We’re on the cusp of an AI revolution that will make
223
00:07:01,600 –> 00:07:03,760
promises to make people irrelevant in a lot of ways.
224
00:07:03,760 –> 00:07:07,800
So like, I’m just stunned that I lived in that country
225
00:07:07,800 –> 00:07:08,560
and how much it’s changed.
226
00:07:08,560 –> 00:07:09,840
And the last thing I’ll say is,
227
00:07:10,640 –> 00:07:11,800
I’ll just be as honest as I can be.
228
00:07:11,800 –> 00:07:13,280
I mean, I’m the descendant of,
229
00:07:13,360 –> 00:07:13,600
you know,
230
00:07:13,600 –> 00:07:14,440
the factory owners,
231
00:07:14,440 –> 00:07:15,160
not the workers.
232
00:07:15,160 –> 00:07:20,000
So like I was never that sympathetic to labor unions.
233
00:07:20,000 –> 00:07:21,280
But boy, watching that,
234
00:07:21,280 –> 00:07:24,320
I, it makes me feel like we lost something really
235
00:07:24,320 –> 00:07:27,440
important when organized labor collapsed and became
236
00:07:27,440 –> 00:07:29,520
irrelevant and just like a part of the Democratic
237
00:07:29,520 –> 00:07:32,640
Party and like demonstrating for trans rights or,
238
00:07:32,880 –> 00:07:33,120
you know,
239
00:07:33,120 –> 00:07:35,360
begging to be replaced by foreign workers,
240
00:07:35,360 –> 00:07:36,560
which they basically now do.
241
00:07:36,560 –> 00:07:37,840
It’s so disgusting.
242
00:07:37,840 –> 00:07:38,080
But
243
00:07:38,800 –> 00:07:41,840
It was important to have a counterbalance against against
244
00:07:41,840 –> 00:07:42,320
capital.
245
00:07:42,320 –> 00:07:43,080
I think it was.
246
00:07:43,440 –> 00:07:45,680
You had to share the wealth or you don’t have a country.
247
00:07:45,680 –> 00:07:47,600
You know, the white guys that I’m afraid of are the
248
00:07:47,600 –> 00:07:48,720
ones in the boardroom.
249
00:07:49,360 –> 00:07:52,080
I will just I would just do this because it’s a it’s
250
00:07:52,080 –> 00:07:53,760
a cry from the heartland here.
251
00:07:53,760 –> 00:07:56,000
You know, everybody wanted to talk to us a couple months
252
00:07:56,000 –> 00:07:58,320
ago when they wanted our vote and then we’re gone.
253
00:07:58,640 –> 00:08:01,200
But during that Hormel strike,
254
00:08:02,320 –> 00:08:03,920
the wage was $10.50 an hour.
255
00:08:04,640 –> 00:08:06,240
Everybody now knows about inflation.
256
00:08:06,240 –> 00:08:07,520
So inflation adjusted,
257
00:08:07,520 –> 00:08:10,400
working in a slaughterhouse with work rules,
258
00:08:11,360 –> 00:08:15,760
that’s $32 an hour plus benefits.
259
00:08:16,160 –> 00:08:17,120
Today, you know,
260
00:08:17,280 –> 00:08:19,840
in 2000, 15 years after that strike,
261
00:08:19,840 –> 00:08:22,320
I went to work in a slaughterhouse in North Carolina
262
00:08:22,640 –> 00:08:24,360
and they were paying 770.
263
00:08:25,040 –> 00:08:27,520
So the wage went down 50%.
264
00:08:28,400 –> 00:08:31,760
In 1985, a pound of bacon was
265
00:08:33,160 –> 00:08:35,920
$90.94 adjusted for inflation,
266
00:08:36,320 –> 00:08:37,440
577.
267
00:08:37,680 –> 00:08:39,280
It’s 33% higher today.
268
00:08:39,840 –> 00:08:41,040
So your wage went down by half.
269
00:08:41,280 –> 00:08:42,720
Your bacon went up by a third.
270
00:08:42,880 –> 00:08:44,320
Now, what happened?
271
00:08:44,800 –> 00:08:45,120
Let’s wait.
272
00:08:45,120 –> 00:08:45,920
Well, wait a second.
273
00:08:45,920 –> 00:08:47,360
You’re leaving at a critical point.
274
00:08:47,600 –> 00:08:48,960
The food is so much better,
275
00:08:48,960 –> 00:08:51,520
though, and better for you now than it used to be.
276
00:08:51,680 –> 00:08:51,960
By the way,
277
00:08:51,960 –> 00:08:53,920
you didn’t see a single fat person on the tape that
278
00:08:53,920 –> 00:08:54,480
you played.
279
00:08:54,600 –> 00:08:56,400
And all them dudes had mustaches,
280
00:08:56,400 –> 00:08:56,720
man.
281
00:08:56,880 –> 00:08:57,560
You know that.
282
00:08:57,920 –> 00:08:59,080
Speaking of testosterone.
283
00:09:00,120 –> 00:09:01,040
That’s Minnesota.
284
00:09:01,040 –> 00:09:03,280
They were like 6 years behind the 70s.
285
00:09:04,400 –> 00:09:04,920
They were,
286
00:09:04,920 –> 00:09:05,640
and they were all,
287
00:09:05,640 –> 00:09:06,880
they were Scandinavian,
288
00:09:07,200 –> 00:09:07,600
you know,
289
00:09:07,680 –> 00:09:10,320
and I knew about Minnesota because obviously I am
290
00:09:10,320 –> 00:09:11,040
Scandinavian,
291
00:09:11,120 –> 00:09:11,920
and that was,
292
00:09:11,920 –> 00:09:12,120
you know,
293
00:09:12,120 –> 00:09:13,840
you go to Minneapolis and it was,
294
00:09:14,800 –> 00:09:15,200
you know,
295
00:09:15,200 –> 00:09:18,080
it was, it had the character of a Scandinavian city,
296
00:09:18,200 –> 00:09:19,160
like politeness,
297
00:09:19,160 –> 00:09:20,320
sterility,
298
00:09:20,880 –> 00:09:21,080
you know,
299
00:09:21,080 –> 00:09:22,400
it’s not an exciting place.
300
00:09:22,400 –> 00:09:22,960
Then you go to St.
301
00:09:22,960 –> 00:09:25,360
Paul, which was Irish Catholic,
302
00:09:25,600 –> 00:09:26,240
and it had,
303
00:09:26,320 –> 00:09:26,560
you know,
304
00:09:26,560 –> 00:09:27,280
its character.
305
00:09:27,320 –> 00:09:27,920
That’s all,
306
00:09:28,000 –> 00:09:28,240
like,
307
00:09:29,120 –> 00:09:32,320
Everything about the country has changed in a way that’s,
308
00:09:32,480 –> 00:09:34,080
whoa, that tape just upset me.
309
00:09:34,080 –> 00:09:34,480
Sorry.
310
00:09:34,640 –> 00:09:37,280
Good, I wanted it to because where’d all the money
311
00:09:37,280 –> 00:09:37,440
go?
312
00:09:37,440 –> 00:09:38,760
Okay, your labor,
313
00:09:38,840 –> 00:09:40,400
and at that time,
314
00:09:40,720 –> 00:09:41,200
their ship,
315
00:09:41,200 –> 00:09:43,600
that’s when the Latinos first start coming,
316
00:09:43,600 –> 00:09:44,960
right, about 1990,
317
00:09:45,200 –> 00:09:46,800
like when I worked in that slaughterhouse,
318
00:09:46,800 –> 00:09:48,400
when I worked in the canneries in Alaska,
319
00:09:48,480 –> 00:09:49,120
it’s Latino,
320
00:09:49,800 –> 00:09:50,880
because you can burn them up.
321
00:09:51,120 –> 00:09:52,480
That’s a lot of money for them,
322
00:09:52,960 –> 00:09:53,280
right?
323
00:09:53,520 –> 00:09:57,840
The Mexican minimum wage is $13.85 A day.
324
00:09:58,320 –> 00:09:58,760
You come here,
325
00:09:58,760 –> 00:09:59,840
you make 20 an hour.
326
00:09:59,920 –> 00:10:02,240
That’s 80 times what you’re going to make.
327
00:10:02,520 –> 00:10:04,240
Of course you’re going to work hard,
328
00:10:04,360 –> 00:10:07,760
but there’s nothing super industrious about a Mexican
329
00:10:07,760 –> 00:10:10,400
or a Cameroonian or a Russian or an American.
330
00:10:10,800 –> 00:10:11,760
You got to be paid.
331
00:10:12,320 –> 00:10:13,680
So what happened to the money?
332
00:10:14,000 –> 00:10:14,560
I looked this up,
333
00:10:14,560 –> 00:10:14,960
Tucker.
334
00:10:15,600 –> 00:10:19,920
In 1988, it’s the first year this was recorded that
335
00:10:19,920 –> 00:10:20,560
I could find.
336
00:10:21,240 –> 00:10:23,280
A share of horn mill cost 24 cents.
337
00:10:24,000 –> 00:10:25,200
Adjusted for inflation,
338
00:10:25,760 –> 00:10:27,120
that’s 71 cents today.
339
00:10:27,480 –> 00:10:29,680
You want to know what Hormel’s trading for as we speak?
340
00:10:29,840 –> 00:10:31,200
30 bucks an hour.
341
00:10:31,840 –> 00:10:36,400
Okay, the dividend paid 1 penny per share back then,
342
00:10:36,480 –> 00:10:38,480
which is 3 pennies today.
343
00:10:39,440 –> 00:10:40,320
Just this month,
344
00:10:40,480 –> 00:10:44,440
the dividend was $1.13,
345
00:10:44,440 –> 00:10:45,520
a 4000% increase.
346
00:10:46,080 –> 00:10:47,680
So when I’m seeing,
347
00:10:48,880 –> 00:10:49,840
I’m for tariffs,
348
00:10:49,840 –> 00:10:51,040
we got to try.
349
00:10:51,920 –> 00:10:54,240
When I’m seeing the media,
350
00:10:54,280 –> 00:10:54,640
which
351
00:10:55,360 –> 00:10:57,280
The media is out of touch.
352
00:10:57,680 –> 00:10:58,640
They don’t know us.
353
00:10:59,840 –> 00:11:02,760
1% of the stock market is owned,
354
00:11:03,320 –> 00:11:04,080
or 50%, 53%
355
00:11:04,160 –> 00:11:06,280
of all stocks in America are owned by 1%.
356
00:11:06,280 –> 00:11:07,880
The next 9%
357
00:11:07,880 –> 00:11:10,880
own 40% of the stock.
358
00:11:11,840 –> 00:11:12,960
The next 50%
359
00:11:12,960 –> 00:11:14,760
of America owns 7%
360
00:11:14,760 –> 00:11:15,320
of the stock,
361
00:11:15,320 –> 00:11:17,600
and the bottom 40 own no stock.
362
00:11:18,160 –> 00:11:18,720
So
363
00:11:19,360 –> 00:11:22,760
The median amount in a 401k is 28 grand.
364
00:11:22,760 –> 00:11:24,160
If you lost $2,000,
365
00:11:24,160 –> 00:11:24,680
my brother,
366
00:11:24,680 –> 00:11:25,440
if you’re listening,
367
00:11:25,680 –> 00:11:27,680
if they gave you a dollar an hour raise,
368
00:11:27,840 –> 00:11:31,120
you would make $3,000 and it wouldn’t be being gambled
369
00:11:31,120 –> 00:11:32,000
on the stock market.
370
00:11:32,320 –> 00:11:34,640
Tucker, it’s got to change or we’re gone,
371
00:11:34,640 –> 00:11:35,040
man.
372
00:11:36,160 –> 00:11:38,240
Well, and yeah,
373
00:11:38,240 –> 00:11:40,400
I mean, I think it’s even worse than what you said,
374
00:11:40,400 –> 00:11:42,560
because it’s not simply that the bottom 40 percent
375
00:11:42,640 –> 00:11:43,600
own no stock.
376
00:11:43,600 –> 00:11:44,400
It’s that they’re
377
00:11:45,440 –> 00:11:47,400
in unpayable debt to the top 1%
378
00:11:47,400 –> 00:11:48,200
who own 50%
379
00:11:48,280 –> 00:11:49,120
of the stock.
380
00:11:49,120 –> 00:11:51,200
So it’s like they’re underwater.
381
00:11:51,520 –> 00:11:54,080
It’s not just that they’re not getting rich from the
382
00:11:54,080 –> 00:11:57,760
appreciation of equity prices or from dividends.
383
00:11:57,760 –> 00:12:00,000
It’s that they have debt they can never repay.
384
00:12:00,800 –> 00:12:02,880
And so they’re enslaved to debt.
385
00:12:02,880 –> 00:12:04,080
So yeah, I mean,
386
00:12:04,160 –> 00:12:04,680
one of the,
387
00:12:05,040 –> 00:12:06,520
and I don’t fully understand,
388
00:12:06,520 –> 00:12:07,600
well, I don’t understand at all,
389
00:12:07,600 –> 00:12:08,000
actually,
390
00:12:08,080 –> 00:12:09,280
but I’m just noticing
391
00:12:09,840 –> 00:12:13,440
the differences between the people who are benefiting
392
00:12:13,440 –> 00:12:14,320
at the very top.
393
00:12:14,320 –> 00:12:17,000
You know, you’re always going to have a ruling class,
394
00:12:17,000 –> 00:12:17,520
of course.
395
00:12:17,520 –> 00:12:18,560
It’s just the nature of people.
396
00:12:18,560 –> 00:12:19,280
They’re hierarchical.
397
00:12:19,280 –> 00:12:20,480
Someone’s always going to be in charge.
398
00:12:20,480 –> 00:12:21,200
Someone’s always going to,
399
00:12:21,360 –> 00:12:21,600
you know,
400
00:12:21,600 –> 00:12:22,560
be the lord of the manor.
401
00:12:22,960 –> 00:12:25,680
But it does seem like the people benefiting the most
402
00:12:25,920 –> 00:12:28,240
care less about the people beneath them than they
403
00:12:28,240 –> 00:12:28,880
ever have.
404
00:12:29,120 –> 00:12:30,640
And this is like measurable.
405
00:12:30,680 –> 00:12:31,360
And they also,
406
00:12:32,160 –> 00:12:33,360
just as just personal preference,
407
00:12:33,360 –> 00:12:34,480
I think that they’re repulsive.
408
00:12:35,040 –> 00:12:36,880
I think they’re disgusting people,
409
00:12:37,120 –> 00:12:38,240
and I know a lot of them,
410
00:12:38,240 –> 00:12:40,320
and I just really couldn’t think less of them or dislike
411
00:12:40,320 –> 00:12:40,960
them more.
412
00:12:41,400 –> 00:12:42,840
And I think most people feel that way,
413
00:12:42,840 –> 00:12:43,760
and I am a rich person,
414
00:12:43,760 –> 00:12:44,160
obviously,
415
00:12:44,160 –> 00:12:45,040
and always have been,
416
00:12:45,120 –> 00:12:45,960
but I just,
417
00:12:46,720 –> 00:12:48,400
I have seen that change.
418
00:12:48,480 –> 00:12:51,560
You know, there’s no sense of obligation to the people
419
00:12:51,560 –> 00:12:52,320
beneath them.
420
00:12:52,400 –> 00:12:53,920
It’s pure selfishness.
421
00:12:54,160 –> 00:12:54,880
They don’t tip.
422
00:12:55,440 –> 00:12:56,080
They’re just,
423
00:12:56,080 –> 00:12:58,480
and they’re just like disgusting to me in every way.
424
00:12:58,480 –> 00:12:59,520
And I really hate them.
425
00:12:59,520 –> 00:13:00,800
I mean that from the bottom of my heart.
426
00:13:01,520 –> 00:13:03,760
And so if this goes on long enough,
427
00:13:03,760 –> 00:13:06,880
I don’t care how much weed and benzos you give people,
428
00:13:07,200 –> 00:13:09,520
there’s going to be some kind of backlash.
429
00:13:09,520 –> 00:13:13,000
And the response to the murder of that health insurance
430
00:13:13,000 –> 00:13:14,160
executive in New York,
431
00:13:14,160 –> 00:13:15,120
like I just want to be clear,
432
00:13:15,120 –> 00:13:16,960
I’m against shooting people on the street,
433
00:13:16,960 –> 00:13:18,320
period, of violence,
434
00:13:18,360 –> 00:13:18,960
I’m A Christian.
435
00:13:19,440 –> 00:13:22,520
But man, the response to that was like fascinating.
436
00:13:22,520 –> 00:13:24,640
And it wasn’t just from like the radical left,
437
00:13:24,640 –> 00:13:27,760
it was from people I know who are not on the left,
438
00:13:27,760 –> 00:13:28,440
they’re on the right.
439
00:13:28,440 –> 00:13:28,960
And they’re like,
440
00:13:28,960 –> 00:13:29,760
well, you know,
441
00:13:30,160 –> 00:13:31,240
The guy kind of deserved it.
442
00:13:31,240 –> 00:13:34,400
I’m like, if there’s a clearer sign that you’re heading
443
00:13:34,400 –> 00:13:34,920
toward the same.
444
00:13:35,040 –> 00:13:35,600
integration.
445
00:13:35,600 –> 00:13:37,640
I don’t know what it could be.
446
00:13:39,000 –> 00:13:41,960
So like a system like this isn’t sustainable long term
447
00:13:41,960 –> 00:13:44,280
because people will either opt out,
448
00:13:44,720 –> 00:13:46,040
as they have been with drugs,
449
00:13:46,440 –> 00:13:49,160
or they’ll revolt in some really ugly way.
450
00:13:49,160 –> 00:13:52,600
So you have to cut people in to the profits or for
451
00:13:52,600 –> 00:13:53,520
your own benefit.
452
00:13:53,720 –> 00:13:55,240
But the people running the country
453
00:13:56,120 –> 00:13:58,600
feel like they can just like scoot away on a foreign
454
00:13:58,600 –> 00:14:00,400
passport and not deal with the consequences.
455
00:14:00,400 –> 00:14:01,360
I don’t know if that’s true.
456
00:14:01,520 –> 00:14:03,240
When did you start your shift?
457
00:14:03,240 –> 00:14:03,880
Because again,
458
00:14:03,880 –> 00:14:07,000
you’re like the offspring of the factory owner.
459
00:14:07,480 –> 00:14:08,760
You were a neocon.
460
00:14:08,760 –> 00:14:10,920
You worked at the Weekly Standard.
461
00:14:11,720 –> 00:14:12,800
What opened your eyes?
462
00:14:12,800 –> 00:14:13,880
A lot to atone for.
463
00:14:13,920 –> 00:14:14,600
Yeah, there’s no doubt.
464
00:14:15,400 –> 00:14:15,840
There’s no doubt.
465
00:14:15,840 –> 00:14:16,280
Start atoning,
466
00:14:16,280 –> 00:14:17,000
motherfucker.
467
00:14:17,880 –> 00:14:18,440
No, I’m kidding.
468
00:14:19,160 –> 00:14:20,680
What created the move?
469
00:14:22,120 –> 00:14:24,040
I mean, it was a couple,
470
00:14:24,040 –> 00:14:24,440
you know,
471
00:14:24,680 –> 00:14:26,280
it’s not even that interesting.
472
00:14:26,280 –> 00:14:27,160
I just, you know,
473
00:14:27,160 –> 00:14:28,920
I’m kind of paid to notice stuff.
474
00:14:29,000 –> 00:14:31,000
I’m A noticer just by my nature.
475
00:14:31,080 –> 00:14:33,480
And I just noticed a lot of change.
476
00:14:33,880 –> 00:14:36,160
And so it just evokes the obvious questions like,
477
00:14:36,160 –> 00:14:36,720
what is this?
478
00:14:36,720 –> 00:14:37,400
How did it happen?
479
00:14:37,400 –> 00:14:38,200
Is it good or bad?
480
00:14:38,520 –> 00:14:43,640
The 2 main factors from my change of thinking were
481
00:14:43,640 –> 00:14:44,560
the Iraq War,
482
00:14:44,560 –> 00:14:45,480
which I covered.
483
00:14:45,520 –> 00:14:45,960
And I was,
484
00:14:45,960 –> 00:14:47,000
I’ve talked about that a lot.
485
00:14:47,000 –> 00:14:47,800
I supported it.
486
00:14:47,880 –> 00:14:50,840
And I was really shocked by what I saw in Iraq.
487
00:14:51,240 –> 00:14:53,160
And it made me rethink my foreign policy views.
488
00:14:53,160 –> 00:14:56,680
And the second factor is that I had gone to the same
489
00:14:56,680 –> 00:14:59,560
small town in northern New England my whole life,
490
00:15:00,200 –> 00:15:00,520
you know,
491
00:15:00,520 –> 00:15:02,560
from early childhood until present.
492
00:15:02,560 –> 00:15:04,000
And I just watched the town fall apart.
493
00:15:04,000 –> 00:15:05,680
And it was a town based on manufacturing.
494
00:15:05,680 –> 00:15:08,200
And I like knew the people in the town and I liked
495
00:15:08,200 –> 00:15:08,440
the town.
496
00:15:08,440 –> 00:15:09,760
And so I was like,
497
00:15:09,760 –> 00:15:10,920
well, how did this happen?
498
00:15:11,640 –> 00:15:13,080
And then at the same
499
00:15:13,640 –> 00:15:16,120
time, I was living in Washington,
500
00:15:16,120 –> 00:15:18,840
D.C., which is a majority black city,
501
00:15:18,840 –> 00:15:20,240
has been my entire life,
502
00:15:20,240 –> 00:15:21,240
a majority black city.
503
00:15:21,800 –> 00:15:22,280
And you know,
504
00:15:22,280 –> 00:15:24,280
you had all the pathologies you associate with like
505
00:15:24,280 –> 00:15:25,360
inner city black people,
506
00:15:25,360 –> 00:15:26,760
like no one got married,
507
00:15:26,760 –> 00:15:27,880
tons of drug use,
508
00:15:27,880 –> 00:15:28,520
all that stuff.
509
00:15:28,520 –> 00:15:29,000
And I was like,
510
00:15:29,000 –> 00:15:29,480
wow, you know,
511
00:15:29,480 –> 00:15:30,680
black culture is really screwed up.
512
00:15:31,600 –> 00:15:35,120
And then I saw the same pathologies in my 100%
513
00:15:35,120 –> 00:15:38,000
white town in northern New England where people stopped
514
00:15:38,000 –> 00:15:38,760
getting married.
515
00:15:39,440 –> 00:15:40,760
People started doing a lot of drugs.
516
00:15:40,760 –> 00:15:41,160
And I was like,
517
00:15:41,160 –> 00:15:42,040
wait a second,
518
00:15:42,360 –> 00:15:43,720
Maybe there’s something,
519
00:15:43,720 –> 00:15:43,920
you know,
520
00:15:43,960 –> 00:15:46,240
see here you have black people and white people with
521
00:15:46,240 –> 00:15:47,480
the same problems.
522
00:15:47,800 –> 00:15:51,640
Maybe the root of this isn’t all culture,
523
00:15:51,720 –> 00:15:52,600
and culture matters,
524
00:15:52,600 –> 00:15:53,720
but it’s not all culture.
525
00:15:53,720 –> 00:15:55,480
Maybe economics are playing a role here.
526
00:15:56,040 –> 00:15:58,920
And maybe when women make more than men,
527
00:15:59,560 –> 00:16:00,760
In any society,
528
00:16:00,920 –> 00:16:03,120
people stop getting married because women don’t want
529
00:16:03,120 –> 00:16:05,720
to marry men in general who make less than them.
530
00:16:06,040 –> 00:16:08,400
And then you don’t have families and then everything
531
00:16:08,400 –> 00:16:09,040
falls apart.
532
00:16:09,240 –> 00:16:10,280
Well, let me jump in there.
533
00:16:10,520 –> 00:16:11,320
There’s the other,
534
00:16:11,320 –> 00:16:12,840
that’s the women making more,
535
00:16:12,840 –> 00:16:16,200
but let’s just say the women making less and the guys
536
00:16:16,200 –> 00:16:19,800
making less and nobody wants to have kids because
537
00:16:20,040 –> 00:16:21,560
they’re afraid of the feud.
538
00:16:21,560 –> 00:16:22,600
They don’t want to bring them in.
539
00:16:22,840 –> 00:16:24,200
I can’t afford them.
540
00:16:24,360 –> 00:16:25,720
It’s violent.
541
00:16:25,960 –> 00:16:27,680
I wouldn’t want to bring somebody in this world.
542
00:16:28,200 –> 00:16:29,480
And what is our solution?
543
00:16:29,800 –> 00:16:31,000
Make everybody broker,
544
00:16:31,000 –> 00:16:32,600
make things more violent.
545
00:16:33,160 –> 00:16:34,280
That’s not the answer.
546
00:16:35,040 –> 00:16:35,480
Of course.
547
00:16:35,480 –> 00:16:39,000
And then establish digital control over people’s money
548
00:16:39,400 –> 00:16:41,240
so they can’t actually do anything.
549
00:16:41,440 –> 00:16:45,320
I mean, you saw this in the trucker protests three
550
00:16:45,320 –> 00:16:46,680
years ago in Ottawa,
551
00:16:46,680 –> 00:16:49,400
Canada, where the government just turned off their
552
00:16:49,400 –> 00:16:51,520
money and then turned off the money of anyone who
553
00:16:51,520 –> 00:16:52,280
supported them.
554
00:16:52,760 –> 00:16:54,200
So actually,
555
00:16:54,520 –> 00:16:54,840
you know,
556
00:16:54,840 –> 00:16:56,520
the right to transact
557
00:16:57,400 –> 00:16:58,560
business to buy things,
558
00:16:58,560 –> 00:17:01,400
to sell things outside of government control is like
559
00:17:01,560 –> 00:17:03,480
central to not being a slave.
560
00:17:03,480 –> 00:17:07,440
Like you are a slave if you can’t buy things that you
561
00:17:07,440 –> 00:17:10,200
want to buy without getting permission from the government.
562
00:17:10,200 –> 00:17:15,480
So clearly there’s a reason that control has been,
563
00:17:15,520 –> 00:17:17,680
that we’ve been encircled by digital control.
564
00:17:17,680 –> 00:17:20,520
And the reason is the people running the country are
565
00:17:20,520 –> 00:17:22,960
kind of shafting a lot of the population and they’re
566
00:17:22,960 –> 00:17:23,960
afraid of a revolt.
567
00:17:24,440 –> 00:17:24,800
Obviously,
568
00:17:24,800 –> 00:17:26,040
that’s what gun control is about.
569
00:17:26,200 –> 00:17:26,920
It’s not about,
570
00:17:27,240 –> 00:17:27,480
you know,
571
00:17:27,480 –> 00:17:28,640
stopping armed robberies.
572
00:17:28,640 –> 00:17:30,040
They have zero interest in doing that,
573
00:17:30,120 –> 00:17:30,760
obviously,
574
00:17:30,760 –> 00:17:31,920
or carjackings.
575
00:17:31,920 –> 00:17:34,520
They want to keep you from fighting back against them
576
00:17:34,520 –> 00:17:36,680
because they’ve really wronged you.
577
00:17:37,120 –> 00:17:40,520
And the last thing I’ll say is that you wind up hating
578
00:17:40,520 –> 00:17:42,040
the people you hurt.
579
00:17:43,640 –> 00:17:45,840
I don’t think people really appreciate this dynamic.
580
00:17:45,840 –> 00:17:47,400
It’s just basic to human nature.
581
00:17:47,400 –> 00:17:48,760
If you’re kind to somebody,
582
00:17:48,760 –> 00:17:49,800
you like that person.
583
00:17:49,800 –> 00:17:50,720
If you hurt somebody,
584
00:17:50,720 –> 00:17:51,320
betray them,
585
00:17:51,320 –> 00:17:51,800
lie to them,
586
00:17:51,800 –> 00:17:52,520
steal from them,
587
00:17:52,840 –> 00:17:54,280
then you end up hating that person.
588
00:17:54,440 –> 00:17:57,400
It seems unfair or counterintuitive,
589
00:17:57,400 –> 00:17:58,520
but it’s a fact and it’s,
590
00:17:58,600 –> 00:17:58,840
you know,
591
00:17:58,840 –> 00:18:00,280
recognizable in your own life.
592
00:18:01,000 –> 00:18:02,440
If you’re selfless and kind,
593
00:18:02,600 –> 00:18:03,800
you like the person.
594
00:18:04,120 –> 00:18:04,920
If you’re cruel,
595
00:18:05,000 –> 00:18:05,960
you hate the person.
596
00:18:06,360 –> 00:18:08,600
So they have been cruel to the population,
597
00:18:08,600 –> 00:18:09,960
therefore they hate the population.
598
00:18:10,240 –> 00:18:12,080
And the population starts to hate itself,
599
00:18:12,080 –> 00:18:12,360
man.
600
00:18:12,360 –> 00:18:13,240
I mean, you know that.
601
00:18:13,960 –> 00:18:15,720
Like I covered Iraq.
602
00:18:16,560 –> 00:18:17,400
I was against it.
603
00:18:19,080 –> 00:18:19,640
I’m from here.
604
00:18:19,640 –> 00:18:23,720
I was against NAFTA and China and WTO normalization.
605
00:18:24,160 –> 00:18:26,080
I’m against the WTO for fuck’s sake.
606
00:18:27,080 –> 00:18:28,920
But I’ve never moved.
607
00:18:29,400 –> 00:18:31,000
And right now you see the
608
00:18:31,800 –> 00:18:33,000
Probrium out there like,
609
00:18:33,080 –> 00:18:35,040
oh, you become a right wing.
610
00:18:35,480 –> 00:18:36,520
I never moved,
611
00:18:36,520 –> 00:18:37,160
motherfucker.
612
00:18:37,320 –> 00:18:37,960
You moved.
613
00:18:38,120 –> 00:18:40,360
The left has gone so far left.
614
00:18:40,680 –> 00:18:42,600
I see him coming from my right.
615
00:18:42,880 –> 00:18:44,080
And I look at the Republicans.
616
00:18:44,080 –> 00:18:45,800
I’m like, this isn’t a party.
617
00:18:46,120 –> 00:18:47,720
Once Trump’s off the scene,
618
00:18:47,800 –> 00:18:48,920
that thing disintegrates.
619
00:18:48,920 –> 00:18:51,960
Are you telling me Ted Cruz is a populist and has my
620
00:18:51,960 –> 00:18:52,600
best interest?
621
00:18:52,680 –> 00:18:53,480
Because he doesn’t.
622
00:18:54,360 –> 00:18:55,480
So it’s now or never,
623
00:18:55,480 –> 00:18:55,960
I think.
624
00:18:57,400 –> 00:18:58,840
I think that’s completely true.
625
00:18:58,840 –> 00:18:59,840
And, you know,
626
00:18:59,840 –> 00:19:00,840
I try and daily,
627
00:19:00,880 –> 00:19:01,320
I try.
628
00:19:01,360 –> 00:19:02,680
I’m not a political person.
629
00:19:02,680 –> 00:19:05,800
I don’t think in those terms naturally.
630
00:19:06,040 –> 00:19:08,040
Well, but my brain doesn’t really work that way.
631
00:19:08,040 –> 00:19:10,440
I’m not thinking about how do we get the biggest coalition
632
00:19:10,440 –> 00:19:12,120
in order to get some guy in power.
633
00:19:12,120 –> 00:19:13,200
Like, I just don’t think like that.
634
00:19:13,200 –> 00:19:15,720
But I do look at the Republican Party and I’m like,
635
00:19:15,800 –> 00:19:19,440
I hate you so much because you’re betrayers.
636
00:19:19,440 –> 00:19:21,720
You don’t care about the people who vested their hope
637
00:19:21,720 –> 00:19:22,280
in you.
638
00:19:22,680 –> 00:19:24,760
you’ve like abandoned the family.
639
00:19:24,840 –> 00:19:27,320
And I really try and keep that under control.
640
00:19:27,800 –> 00:19:30,280
And I see this particularly in the Senate,
641
00:19:30,280 –> 00:19:31,400
Republicans in the Senate,
642
00:19:31,400 –> 00:19:34,360
like they literally don’t care about the United States.
643
00:19:34,600 –> 00:19:36,680
They only care about foreign countries.
644
00:19:36,680 –> 00:19:37,400
That’s it.
645
00:19:37,480 –> 00:19:39,600
And I think there are a lot of reasons for this.
646
00:19:39,600 –> 00:19:40,440
It’s not just money.
647
00:19:40,440 –> 00:19:41,480
There are other reasons.
648
00:19:41,480 –> 00:19:43,240
I don’t fully understand all those reasons.
649
00:19:43,240 –> 00:19:45,720
But like you look at these Republican senators,
650
00:19:46,160 –> 00:19:46,600
And, you know,
651
00:19:46,600 –> 00:19:49,160
they can watch 100,000 of their fellow Americans die
652
00:19:49,160 –> 00:19:50,200
of drug abuse every year,
653
00:19:50,200 –> 00:19:51,240
and it doesn’t move them,
654
00:19:51,240 –> 00:19:53,480
doesn’t elevate their heartbeat at all.
655
00:19:54,040 –> 00:19:57,640
And yet we’re not sending enough deadly weapons to
656
00:19:57,640 –> 00:19:58,280
this or that,
657
00:19:58,280 –> 00:19:59,400
quote, ally.
658
00:19:59,880 –> 00:20:01,400
And they go apoplectic.
659
00:20:01,560 –> 00:20:04,440
Like they literally are kept awake at night worrying
660
00:20:04,440 –> 00:20:05,080
about this.
661
00:20:05,160 –> 00:20:05,680
And it’s like,
662
00:20:05,680 –> 00:20:09,000
what is that other than betrayal of your own country?
663
00:20:09,520 –> 00:20:11,760
And I’m not even attacking those other countries.
664
00:20:11,760 –> 00:20:12,520
Like they’re doing
665
00:20:13,160 –> 00:20:14,680
what they think is in their interest.
666
00:20:14,680 –> 00:20:15,080
I get it.
667
00:20:15,080 –> 00:20:16,480
I’m not I’m not even mad at them,
668
00:20:17,080 –> 00:20:19,480
but I’m mad at our policymakers,
669
00:20:19,680 –> 00:20:23,320
our leaders for completely selling us out in favor
670
00:20:23,320 –> 00:20:24,280
of some other nation.
671
00:20:24,440 –> 00:20:25,400
You know what I mean?
672
00:20:25,560 –> 00:20:25,720
Yeah.
673
00:20:25,720 –> 00:20:29,480
Because if you look at just the weapons or jobs,
674
00:20:29,480 –> 00:20:30,440
let’s go back to that.
675
00:20:30,440 –> 00:20:30,680
Right.
676
00:20:31,400 –> 00:20:33,800
This wasn’t the Chinese that did this to us.
677
00:20:33,960 –> 00:20:34,280
Right.
678
00:20:34,280 –> 00:20:36,440
It was General Motors that offshore it.
679
00:20:37,480 –> 00:20:38,680
It was Apple.
680
00:20:38,720 –> 00:20:41,080
And 25 years ago,
681
00:20:41,080 –> 00:20:42,040
China was one of the most
682
00:20:42,560 –> 00:20:44,360
poverty stricken countries on earth.
683
00:20:44,360 –> 00:20:45,320
Look what we did.
684
00:20:45,520 –> 00:20:46,920
And now China’s doing it.
685
00:20:47,320 –> 00:20:48,520
Now they’re offshoring it.
686
00:20:48,760 –> 00:20:49,080
Right.
687
00:20:49,440 –> 00:20:52,120
And so this this whole big international trade deal,
688
00:20:53,480 –> 00:20:59,080
war, weaponry is counterintuitive to the wellness
689
00:20:59,080 –> 00:21:00,440
of the United States citizen.
690
00:21:00,680 –> 00:21:01,680
Well, of course it is.
691
00:21:01,720 –> 00:21:02,920
And it’s demonstrable.
692
00:21:02,920 –> 00:21:03,640
And at this point,
693
00:21:03,640 –> 00:21:04,680
I used to say to people,
694
00:21:04,680 –> 00:21:06,480
just because I used to,
695
00:21:06,520 –> 00:21:06,720
you know,
696
00:21:06,720 –> 00:21:07,320
I’ve always,
697
00:21:07,720 –> 00:21:09,080
I’m like revealing too much,
698
00:21:09,080 –> 00:21:09,560
but you know,
699
00:21:09,560 –> 00:21:10,760
I would always like live
700
00:21:11,160 –> 00:21:13,320
in a different place during the summer and do my work
701
00:21:13,320 –> 00:21:14,120
from where we lived,
702
00:21:14,120 –> 00:21:15,120
right, in Northern New England.
703
00:21:15,320 –> 00:21:17,080
And I would drive every year with,
704
00:21:17,080 –> 00:21:17,320
you know,
705
00:21:17,320 –> 00:21:21,200
in the suburban with all of our dogs and all the bags
706
00:21:21,200 –> 00:21:22,600
and all that garb stuff for the summer.
707
00:21:22,600 –> 00:21:24,840
And so I like drove,
708
00:21:24,840 –> 00:21:25,160
you know,
709
00:21:25,320 –> 00:21:28,520
thousands of miles across America every year and I
710
00:21:28,520 –> 00:21:29,720
was like shocked.
711
00:21:29,720 –> 00:21:31,000
You like stop in a rest area,
712
00:21:31,000 –> 00:21:32,280
like what country is this?
713
00:21:32,680 –> 00:21:35,080
And then I would go back to Washington and like people
714
00:21:35,080 –> 00:21:36,600
I knew who I really liked were smart people.
715
00:21:36,840 –> 00:21:40,360
They just didn’t have any sense of how like poor
716
00:21:40,840 –> 00:21:44,320
and depressing the country was because they lived in
717
00:21:44,320 –> 00:21:45,720
Northwest DC and they go to,
718
00:21:45,800 –> 00:21:46,040
you know,
719
00:21:46,040 –> 00:21:47,960
some pretty place for the summer or whatever.
720
00:21:47,960 –> 00:21:49,480
And I’m not attacking them at all.
721
00:21:49,960 –> 00:21:51,400
I was, I’m very cut off.
722
00:21:51,400 –> 00:21:52,440
Like I don’t have,
723
00:21:52,440 –> 00:21:53,880
I’m not a man of the people.
724
00:21:53,880 –> 00:21:54,760
I’m not here,
725
00:21:55,080 –> 00:21:55,360
you know,
726
00:21:55,360 –> 00:21:58,600
I’m not the voice of the unemployed machinist or something.
727
00:21:58,600 –> 00:22:01,080
I would never want to be phony and pretend that I am.
728
00:22:01,080 –> 00:22:02,400
I just notice stuff and I’m like,
729
00:22:02,400 –> 00:22:03,640
what is this?
730
00:22:03,880 –> 00:22:04,920
How could you not notice this?
731
00:22:05,000 –> 00:22:06,200
How could you walk
732
00:22:06,600 –> 00:22:10,040
to your office in the US Senate and step over the bodies
733
00:22:10,080 –> 00:22:15,000
of nodding out fentanyl addicts and like not be totally
734
00:22:15,160 –> 00:22:16,920
upset about that all day long.
735
00:22:16,920 –> 00:22:19,080
You go in there to like appropriate more money for
736
00:22:19,080 –> 00:22:22,360
some freaking foreign leader and you don’t even think
737
00:22:22,360 –> 00:22:24,680
about your own people who are dying right outside
738
00:22:24,680 –> 00:22:25,400
your office.
739
00:22:25,560 –> 00:22:27,080
That’s when I started to feel like hate,
740
00:22:27,480 –> 00:22:29,440
which I need to get under control because I don’t
741
00:22:29,440 –> 00:22:30,360
think hate is good.
742
00:22:30,520 –> 00:22:31,560
It only destroys you.
743
00:22:31,560 –> 00:22:32,600
It doesn’t help anybody,
744
00:22:32,600 –> 00:22:33,640
but I do feel it.
745
00:22:34,200 –> 00:22:34,680
Because like,
746
00:22:34,680 –> 00:22:35,400
what is that?
747
00:22:35,560 –> 00:22:37,560
That’s a father abandoning his children.
748
00:22:37,560 –> 00:22:38,280
That’s what it is.
749
00:22:38,400 –> 00:22:41,800
And there’s no lower person on earth than the father
750
00:22:41,800 –> 00:22:42,840
who abandons his children.
751
00:22:42,840 –> 00:22:44,120
That is the lowest person.
752
00:22:44,200 –> 00:22:47,960
Well, maybe there’s a worse person,
753
00:22:48,560 –> 00:22:51,320
which would be mainstream media talking heads.
754
00:22:54,480 –> 00:22:55,240
Okay, fair.
755
00:22:55,480 –> 00:22:55,600
Okay.
756
00:22:57,160 –> 00:22:57,960
Because you see this,
757
00:22:57,960 –> 00:22:59,160
the sky is falling.
758
00:22:59,160 –> 00:23:00,520
Oh, look at the stock market.
759
00:23:00,520 –> 00:23:00,920
And it’s like,
760
00:23:01,000 –> 00:23:02,440
that’s because you guys have stock.
761
00:23:02,680 –> 00:23:04,480
This is your Armageddon.
762
00:23:04,480 –> 00:23:06,120
This isn’t our Armageddon.
763
00:23:06,120 –> 00:23:07,640
So how does it feel?
764
00:23:07,800 –> 00:23:09,000
I was thinking about you.
765
00:23:10,120 –> 00:23:12,840
Media really went off the rails,
766
00:23:12,840 –> 00:23:13,720
got permission.
767
00:23:13,800 –> 00:23:17,080
They got permission to go off the rails and inject
768
00:23:17,640 –> 00:23:19,800
vitriol into their reportage,
769
00:23:19,880 –> 00:23:20,680
not their columns,
770
00:23:20,880 –> 00:23:21,960
but their straight reporting.
771
00:23:22,120 –> 00:23:25,560
They got it from Jim Rutenberg at the New York Times.
772
00:23:25,640 –> 00:23:26,520
Remember his column?
773
00:23:26,920 –> 00:23:30,120
Trump is very well so out there that all the rules
774
00:23:30,120 –> 00:23:33,160
of journalism must be thrown away and we have to attack
775
00:23:33,160 –> 00:23:36,200
him because he’s a threat to truth and the country.
776
00:23:36,600 –> 00:23:39,160
And I think he’s going to go down in the history in
777
00:23:39,160 –> 00:23:39,800
journalism,
778
00:23:39,880 –> 00:23:41,000
but not for the right reason.
779
00:23:41,720 –> 00:23:43,000
No, I mean,
780
00:23:43,000 –> 00:23:43,560
assuming,
781
00:23:43,560 –> 00:23:45,200
look, history is Wikipedia.
782
00:23:45,320 –> 00:23:46,120
I worked with Jim,
783
00:23:46,120 –> 00:23:46,560
so, you know,
784
00:23:46,560 –> 00:23:47,400
he’s a decent guy,
785
00:23:47,400 –> 00:23:47,920
but I can’t,
786
00:23:47,920 –> 00:23:48,160
you know,
787
00:23:48,160 –> 00:23:48,480
I can’t.
788
00:23:48,760 –> 00:23:49,640
Yeah, of course.
789
00:23:50,200 –> 00:23:50,920
No, I know,
790
00:23:51,080 –> 00:23:51,560
I know.
791
00:23:52,520 –> 00:23:53,080
But, you know,
792
00:23:53,080 –> 00:23:54,160
I’m not confident.
793
00:23:55,080 –> 00:23:56,360
History is Wikipedia.
794
00:23:56,360 –> 00:23:58,280
People understand the past through Wikipedia.
795
00:23:58,280 –> 00:23:59,960
Wikipedia is utterly controlled.
796
00:23:59,960 –> 00:24:01,080
It’s totally dishonest.
797
00:24:01,080 –> 00:24:02,040
It’s North Korean.
798
00:24:02,040 –> 00:24:05,360
So I’m not confident that anything not written in a
799
00:24:05,360 –> 00:24:06,520
book will endure.
800
00:24:06,920 –> 00:24:07,720
But I would just say,
801
00:24:07,720 –> 00:24:09,160
here’s my measure of the economy,
802
00:24:09,160 –> 00:24:10,920
and we all see this through our own lens.
803
00:24:10,920 –> 00:24:12,200
Like, of course,
804
00:24:12,200 –> 00:24:13,960
you said that talking heads on TV have,
805
00:24:14,520 –> 00:24:14,760
you know,
806
00:24:14,760 –> 00:24:16,560
stocks, so they’re worried about the stock market.
807
00:24:17,320 –> 00:24:19,960
My view as the father of a bunch of kids,
808
00:24:20,520 –> 00:24:24,000
is we need to have an economy that allows young people
809
00:24:24,000 –> 00:24:26,360
with jobs who try hard to buy houses.
810
00:24:26,760 –> 00:24:28,280
You need to own a home.
811
00:24:28,680 –> 00:24:29,800
That’s my measure.
812
00:24:30,040 –> 00:24:30,600
Because a home,
813
00:24:30,600 –> 00:24:32,280
and I don’t care how small it is or where,
814
00:24:32,360 –> 00:24:33,560
like when you own a home,
815
00:24:33,560 –> 00:24:35,240
you’re vested in a society.
816
00:24:35,320 –> 00:24:36,520
We used to understand this.
817
00:24:36,760 –> 00:24:37,800
When you’re renting,
818
00:24:38,200 –> 00:24:39,200
you’re just passing through.
819
00:24:39,200 –> 00:24:43,400
When I bought a home at 23 and it was,
820
00:24:44,120 –> 00:24:44,600
by the way,
821
00:24:44,680 –> 00:24:46,560
just on my salary and my wife’s salary.
822
00:24:46,560 –> 00:24:47,160
And it was like,
823
00:24:48,200 –> 00:24:49,560
obviously not a great home,
824
00:24:49,560 –> 00:24:50,200
but it was a home.
825
00:24:50,200 –> 00:24:51,160
And I remember feeling like,
826
00:24:51,160 –> 00:24:52,200
man, this is mine.
827
00:24:52,200 –> 00:24:53,880
Like I’m, you know what I mean?
828
00:24:53,880 –> 00:24:56,920
Like I’m going to cut my grass and like I had like
829
00:24:56,920 –> 00:24:59,200
one tree and I’m going to pick up the,
830
00:24:59,400 –> 00:24:59,680
you know,
831
00:24:59,720 –> 00:25:00,560
leaves from the tree.
832
00:25:00,560 –> 00:25:01,880
And like, I don’t know,
833
00:25:01,880 –> 00:25:05,000
it just changes you and you become part of the fabric
834
00:25:05,000 –> 00:25:05,600
of the country.
835
00:25:05,600 –> 00:25:07,560
And if you have a country where young people can’t
836
00:25:07,560 –> 00:25:08,360
buy houses,
837
00:25:08,760 –> 00:25:10,040
like you have failed.
838
00:25:10,200 –> 00:25:10,720
You have failed.
839
00:25:10,720 –> 00:25:11,880
So that’s my measurement.
840
00:25:11,880 –> 00:25:12,600
So I’m like thinking,
841
00:25:12,680 –> 00:25:14,920
what does this do to residential real estate markets?
842
00:25:15,000 –> 00:25:17,160
I know that that’s one of many measurements of
843
00:25:17,800 –> 00:25:19,040
I don’t know much about economics.
844
00:25:19,040 –> 00:25:21,400
I’m probably being absurd right now,
845
00:25:21,400 –> 00:25:22,760
but that’s what’s important to me.
846
00:25:22,760 –> 00:25:23,800
So that’s what I pay attention.
847
00:25:23,800 –> 00:25:24,040
Boom.
848
00:25:24,040 –> 00:25:26,680
So here’s your final economic analysis.
849
00:25:26,680 –> 00:25:28,520
Take this with you in your travels.
850
00:25:29,800 –> 00:25:30,920
At that clip,
851
00:25:31,000 –> 00:25:32,720
Hormel, 1985,
852
00:25:32,720 –> 00:25:34,680
when the company’s making record profit,
853
00:25:34,680 –> 00:25:35,000
right?
854
00:25:36,120 –> 00:25:37,800
When we did the jobs,
855
00:25:39,400 –> 00:25:40,440
we owned our homes.
856
00:25:41,640 –> 00:25:44,480
We owned our car and there was a shack in the woods
857
00:25:44,480 –> 00:25:45,480
to go do some fishing.
858
00:25:45,480 –> 00:25:47,800
Now we rent,
859
00:25:48,040 –> 00:25:49,000
we lease,
860
00:25:49,360 –> 00:25:50,600
and we watch TV.
861
00:25:50,840 –> 00:25:52,680
And oh, the prices are cheaper.
862
00:25:52,840 –> 00:25:55,520
Yeah, the prices are cheaper and I still can’t afford
863
00:25:55,520 –> 00:25:55,600
it.
864
00:25:55,600 –> 00:25:57,480
My credit card’s fucking maxed out.
865
00:25:58,160 –> 00:25:58,640
Exactly.
866
00:25:59,000 –> 00:25:59,640
Exactly.
867
00:25:59,720 –> 00:26:00,360
No, I.
868
00:26:02,600 –> 00:26:05,080
This is the level on which I understand economics and
869
00:26:05,080 –> 00:26:07,000
it’s the level that makes me emotional.
870
00:26:07,080 –> 00:26:09,000
And I completely agree with you.
871
00:26:09,000 –> 00:26:11,880
I don’t think that most people have any real interest
872
00:26:11,880 –> 00:26:12,760
in being rich.
873
00:26:13,560 –> 00:26:14,520
I don’t have,
874
00:26:14,560 –> 00:26:15,320
I’m just being honest,
875
00:26:15,360 –> 00:26:15,840
I don’t, I mean,
876
00:26:15,840 –> 00:26:17,560
I’m certainly rich by normal standards,
877
00:26:17,960 –> 00:26:21,080
but I don’t think most people like want to be billionaires.
878
00:26:21,080 –> 00:26:21,680
I don’t.
879
00:26:22,120 –> 00:26:23,560
I just don’t want any debt.
880
00:26:23,800 –> 00:26:26,520
And I just want like a house that’s mine.
881
00:26:26,920 –> 00:26:29,360
And I definitely want a cabin in the woods,
882
00:26:29,360 –> 00:26:29,960
which I have.
883
00:26:30,280 –> 00:26:31,320
And I’m so grateful for that.
884
00:26:31,320 –> 00:26:32,480
I don’t want anything else.
885
00:26:32,600 –> 00:26:35,160
And I grew up with a lot more than most people.
886
00:26:35,640 –> 00:26:36,760
And in the end,
887
00:26:36,760 –> 00:26:38,200
at 55, like that’s all I want.
888
00:26:38,360 –> 00:26:39,480
And I think that’s true for,
889
00:26:39,480 –> 00:26:41,800
I think only the freaks want to be billionaires.
890
00:26:41,800 –> 00:26:43,160
Why would you want to be a billionaire?
891
00:26:43,200 –> 00:26:44,760
I mean, there’s something wrong with a billionaire,
892
00:26:44,760 –> 00:26:45,040
really?
893
00:26:45,040 –> 00:26:46,120
What are you going to do with all the money?
894
00:26:46,600 –> 00:26:47,400
You know, and they all,
895
00:26:47,520 –> 00:26:49,000
and I know a million billionaires.
896
00:26:49,000 –> 00:26:51,040
I know a lot of billionaires and I’ve asked like,
897
00:26:51,040 –> 00:26:53,600
what’s the point of a billion dollars or $2 billion?
898
00:26:53,600 –> 00:26:54,600
Like that’s really crazy.
899
00:26:55,040 –> 00:26:55,440
And they’re like,
900
00:26:55,440 –> 00:26:56,840
whoa, because I want to do good with it.
901
00:26:56,920 –> 00:26:57,600
Well, I don’t know,
902
00:26:57,600 –> 00:26:57,960
that doesn’t
903
00:26:58,600 –> 00:27:00,680
Seem to be working very well.
904
00:27:01,640 –> 00:27:04,280
We’ve had a massive increase in billionaires,
905
00:27:04,280 –> 00:27:06,400
but a massive decrease in happiness.
906
00:27:06,400 –> 00:27:08,880
So like, maybe we should read that back.
907
00:27:09,239 –> 00:27:10,199
cities, right?
908
00:27:10,199 –> 00:27:11,399
Shelter and food,
909
00:27:11,879 –> 00:27:12,319
warmth.
910
00:27:12,999 –> 00:27:17,959
What makes me happy is thinking how I want to think,
911
00:27:18,599 –> 00:27:20,359
speaking how I want to speak,
912
00:27:20,519 –> 00:27:22,359
standing where I want to stand,
913
00:27:22,479 –> 00:27:24,039
and praying the way I want to.
914
00:27:24,039 –> 00:27:25,159
That makes me happy.
915
00:27:25,359 –> 00:27:27,079
And that’s called the First Amendment.
916
00:27:27,439 –> 00:27:28,679
And that’s why it was first,
917
00:27:28,759 –> 00:27:29,799
because they knew,
918
00:27:30,199 –> 00:27:32,679
and there’s just an assault on that.
919
00:27:34,279 –> 00:27:34,839
Well, sure,
920
00:27:34,839 –> 00:27:36,599
but there’s nothing you can do about it.
921
00:27:37,439 –> 00:27:38,279
I mean, I’ve talked,
922
00:27:38,279 –> 00:27:39,599
I’ve given my opinions for a living,
923
00:27:39,599 –> 00:27:39,799
you know,
924
00:27:39,799 –> 00:27:40,679
my whole life,
925
00:27:40,759 –> 00:27:43,639
and it’s kind of a window into the dynamic.
926
00:27:43,639 –> 00:27:45,639
If you owe people stuff,
927
00:27:45,799 –> 00:27:47,479
you can’t go against them.
928
00:27:47,639 –> 00:27:48,039
Okay?
929
00:27:48,119 –> 00:27:49,559
It’s that simple.
930
00:27:50,119 –> 00:27:52,759
Debt is a leash.
931
00:27:52,759 –> 00:27:53,919
It’s a control device.
932
00:27:53,919 –> 00:27:57,079
So whenever you have a society that’s based on usury,
933
00:27:57,159 –> 00:27:57,959
which ours is,
934
00:27:59,079 –> 00:28:01,799
you’re not going to have freedom of speech,
935
00:28:02,039 –> 00:28:02,519
period.
936
00:28:02,519 –> 00:28:05,159
I don’t care how guaranteed it is.
937
00:28:05,199 –> 00:28:06,679
I mean, you saw it in the last five years.
938
00:28:06,839 –> 00:28:08,439
People like smart,
939
00:28:08,839 –> 00:28:11,919
self-aware adults forced to say things they knew weren’t
940
00:28:11,919 –> 00:28:12,439
true.
941
00:28:12,839 –> 00:28:14,359
You know, it’s safe and effective.
942
00:28:14,359 –> 00:28:15,559
Men can become women.
943
00:28:15,559 –> 00:28:18,359
Like whatever the absurd slogan of the moment was.
944
00:28:18,679 –> 00:28:20,879
People who knew better repeated it because they felt
945
00:28:20,879 –> 00:28:23,159
they had no choice because they were effectively in
946
00:28:23,159 –> 00:28:24,599
debt to their superiors.
947
00:28:24,919 –> 00:28:27,799
The only people who are truly free are the ones who
948
00:28:27,799 –> 00:28:29,319
don’t owe anybody anything.
949
00:28:29,559 –> 00:28:32,839
So self-reliance is the key to freedom.
950
00:28:32,839 –> 00:28:34,039
I mean, of course you can’t be totally,
951
00:28:34,039 –> 00:28:34,919
I don’t grow my own food,
952
00:28:34,919 –> 00:28:35,319
okay?
953
00:28:35,639 –> 00:28:38,119
But on some level,
954
00:28:38,119 –> 00:28:39,919
I feel like I can say whatever I want because I don’t
955
00:28:39,919 –> 00:28:40,759
owe anybody anything.
956
00:28:40,759 –> 00:28:40,999
Right?
957
00:28:40,999 –> 00:28:42,599
You’re never going back to mainstream.
958
00:28:42,599 –> 00:28:43,199
Again, you know,
959
00:28:43,199 –> 00:28:44,279
I described this
960
00:28:44,679 –> 00:28:45,879
Oh, your career,
961
00:28:45,879 –> 00:28:47,239
I go, my career’s great.
962
00:28:47,319 –> 00:28:48,759
What are you talking about?
963
00:28:49,079 –> 00:28:50,359
I do what I want,
964
00:28:50,439 –> 00:28:51,359
say what I want,
965
00:28:51,559 –> 00:28:53,479
and report on what’s interesting to me.
966
00:28:53,799 –> 00:28:54,039
You know?
967
00:28:54,359 –> 00:28:56,559
So in the modern media,
968
00:28:56,559 –> 00:28:59,399
it’s like a church picnic,
969
00:28:59,719 –> 00:28:59,959
right?
970
00:28:59,959 –> 00:29:01,319
You all meet up at the church,
971
00:29:01,479 –> 00:29:02,519
you get on the bus,
972
00:29:02,519 –> 00:29:03,559
everybody’s on the bus,
973
00:29:03,799 –> 00:29:04,519
and it’s raining.
974
00:29:04,919 –> 00:29:06,199
So everybody’s sitting on the bus,
975
00:29:06,199 –> 00:29:07,719
afraid to go out into the rain.
976
00:29:08,719 –> 00:29:11,399
And those that got smart and can do it,
977
00:29:11,479 –> 00:29:14,239
like I’m getting off the bus now while the chicken’s
978
00:29:14,239 –> 00:29:15,079
still warm,
979
00:29:15,319 –> 00:29:15,479
right?
980
00:29:15,479 –> 00:29:16,759
And by the time the rain breaks,
981
00:29:16,919 –> 00:29:18,759
you all get off the bus and there’s nothing to eat.
982
00:29:19,079 –> 00:29:19,719
So fuck it.
983
00:29:20,199 –> 00:29:22,679
Like, you know,
984
00:29:22,679 –> 00:29:24,679
so it’s like a biblical analogy.
985
00:29:24,679 –> 00:29:25,319
I love it.
986
00:29:26,439 –> 00:29:27,159
So, I mean,
987
00:29:27,559 –> 00:29:29,559
you did the same at a higher degree,
988
00:29:29,559 –> 00:29:31,879
but not really.
989
00:29:31,879 –> 00:29:32,279
I mean, I,
990
00:29:32,679 –> 00:29:34,039
I, you know,
991
00:29:34,039 –> 00:29:35,719
you were the man on TV,
992
00:29:35,719 –> 00:29:37,119
you were the biggest thing going.
993
00:29:39,719 –> 00:29:41,239
My wife, who’s a lot,
994
00:29:41,959 –> 00:29:43,239
who’s totally disconnected,
995
00:29:43,319 –> 00:29:45,719
completely disconnected and therefore wiser,
996
00:29:46,279 –> 00:29:47,159
like reads books,
997
00:29:47,159 –> 00:29:47,879
prays A lot.
998
00:29:47,959 –> 00:29:49,079
You know, she’s like,
999
00:29:49,079 –> 00:29:50,759
she was so grateful I got fired.
1000
00:29:50,759 –> 00:29:51,999
The second I got fired,
1001
00:29:52,439 –> 00:29:53,399
there was no like,
1002
00:29:53,399 –> 00:29:53,839
oh my gosh,
1003
00:29:53,839 –> 00:29:54,919
what are we going to do?
1004
00:29:54,919 –> 00:29:56,439
And it’s not because first we had so much money,
1005
00:29:56,439 –> 00:29:57,079
we didn’t.
1006
00:29:57,639 –> 00:29:58,199
She was just like,
1007
00:29:58,199 –> 00:29:58,839
that’s bad.
1008
00:29:58,839 –> 00:30:01,319
I just feel that that’s bad and you’re controlled and
1009
00:30:01,319 –> 00:30:02,479
you’re stressed and unhappy.
1010
00:30:02,479 –> 00:30:02,999
And it’s just,
1011
00:30:03,639 –> 00:30:04,719
It’s better to,
1012
00:30:05,079 –> 00:30:07,079
again, you want to be out of debt.
1013
00:30:07,319 –> 00:30:11,319
If you have a goal for your life financially,
1014
00:30:11,879 –> 00:30:12,759
I think it should be,
1015
00:30:12,879 –> 00:30:13,879
let’s get out of debt.
1016
00:30:14,439 –> 00:30:15,559
But, you know,
1017
00:30:15,799 –> 00:30:17,239
once you get out of debt,
1018
00:30:17,959 –> 00:30:20,839
everything else that you accumulate is a diminishing
1019
00:30:20,839 –> 00:30:21,399
return.
1020
00:30:21,799 –> 00:30:23,999
Like, ask anybody who’s gotten out of debt or made
1021
00:30:23,999 –> 00:30:25,199
a ton of money or whatever,
1022
00:30:25,199 –> 00:30:25,719
like, you know,
1023
00:30:25,719 –> 00:30:26,839
one day you just make a ton of money,
1024
00:30:26,839 –> 00:30:27,759
that happens to people.
1025
00:30:27,759 –> 00:30:29,399
I know some who have gone through that.
1026
00:30:30,039 –> 00:30:31,239
They don’t get a lot happier.
1027
00:30:31,879 –> 00:30:33,319
You really don’t.
1028
00:30:33,319 –> 00:30:35,639
Like, it is a hamster wheel,
1029
00:30:35,639 –> 00:30:36,199
actually.
1030
00:30:36,959 –> 00:30:37,679
It’s for safety,
1031
00:30:37,959 –> 00:30:38,279
man.
1032
00:30:38,359 –> 00:30:39,319
It’s for safety.
1033
00:30:39,479 –> 00:30:40,039
You know what I mean?
1034
00:30:40,039 –> 00:30:40,839
You accubulate,
1035
00:30:40,919 –> 00:30:41,959
so you’re safe.
1036
00:30:41,959 –> 00:30:42,599
That’s all.
1037
00:30:42,999 –> 00:30:44,279
Which begs the question,
1038
00:30:44,679 –> 00:30:47,479
why did you really get fired from Fox?
1039
00:30:47,959 –> 00:30:48,519
Tell the truth.
1040
00:30:49,639 –> 00:30:50,319
I really don’t know.
1041
00:30:50,319 –> 00:30:51,639
I mean, no one’s ever told me.
1042
00:30:51,639 –> 00:30:52,719
What do you suspect?
1043
00:30:52,759 –> 00:30:53,919
Let me tell you what I suspect.
1044
00:30:54,599 –> 00:30:55,719
I think it was like,
1045
00:30:55,799 –> 00:30:57,799
I mean, I said so many things that they just disagreed
1046
00:30:57,799 –> 00:30:58,079
with that.
1047
00:30:58,079 –> 00:30:59,039
Oh, that’s bullshit,
1048
00:30:59,039 –> 00:30:59,559
dude.
1049
00:30:59,559 –> 00:31:01,079
You know, it’s bullshit because,
1050
00:31:01,399 –> 00:31:01,719
you know,
1051
00:31:01,799 –> 00:31:05,159
that whole election business and everything,
1052
00:31:05,159 –> 00:31:07,919
everybody at the at the at the network was was talking
1053
00:31:07,919 –> 00:31:08,279
shit.
1054
00:31:08,359 –> 00:31:09,079
It wasn’t that.
1055
00:31:09,079 –> 00:31:13,399
I think that you were just getting too real,
1056
00:31:13,799 –> 00:31:14,439
like, you know,
1057
00:31:14,439 –> 00:31:16,719
shit about the food and pharmaceuticals.
1058
00:31:16,719 –> 00:31:18,999
And when I met Roger Ailes,
1059
00:31:18,999 –> 00:31:21,039
right, and they’re going to let me go around the country
1060
00:31:21,039 –> 00:31:23,559
doing my syndicated little pieces.
1061
00:31:24,359 –> 00:31:25,479
Last thing he said to me was,
1062
00:31:25,959 –> 00:31:26,879
okay, you got the job.
1063
00:31:27,799 –> 00:31:29,519
Don’t do any stories on the advertiser.
1064
00:31:29,519 –> 00:31:30,199
Do you understand me?
1065
00:31:30,199 –> 00:31:31,999
And I go, what the fuck I give a fuck about the advertiser?
1066
00:31:31,999 –> 00:31:32,799
Let somebody else do that.
1067
00:31:32,799 –> 00:31:34,119
I just want to do people.
1068
00:31:34,439 –> 00:31:36,279
But that stuck with me.
1069
00:31:36,839 –> 00:31:37,999
You know, and I think,
1070
00:31:38,439 –> 00:31:39,879
is there something to that?
1071
00:31:40,759 –> 00:31:41,559
I’m sure.
1072
00:31:41,599 –> 00:31:45,879
I mean, I know that Zelensky called my bosses,
1073
00:31:45,879 –> 00:31:46,439
who by the way,
1074
00:31:46,439 –> 00:31:47,719
were always so nice to me.
1075
00:31:47,719 –> 00:31:48,279
They were great.
1076
00:31:48,679 –> 00:31:49,639
I’ll never attack them.
1077
00:31:49,959 –> 00:31:51,239
They had a right to fire me,
1078
00:31:51,239 –> 00:31:53,279
but, and I did never contest that.
1079
00:31:53,279 –> 00:31:53,559
I was like,
1080
00:31:53,559 –> 00:31:54,359
it’s your company,
1081
00:31:54,679 –> 00:31:55,039
you know?
1082
00:31:55,039 –> 00:31:57,359
But you’re gonna pay me to fool them out of my contract.
1083
00:31:57,959 –> 00:31:58,319
Well, yeah,
1084
00:31:58,319 –> 00:31:58,599
of course.
1085
00:31:58,599 –> 00:31:59,959
I never violated my contract.
1086
00:31:59,959 –> 00:32:02,559
But I know that Zelensky had called personally,
1087
00:32:02,559 –> 00:32:04,639
had called them and to get me fired.
1088
00:32:04,639 –> 00:32:06,159
I think that probably had an effect.
1089
00:32:06,439 –> 00:32:07,399
But I don’t know.
1090
00:32:07,399 –> 00:32:09,239
It had nothing to do with the Dominion suit that I
1091
00:32:09,239 –> 00:32:09,719
know of.
1092
00:32:09,719 –> 00:32:11,359
I wasn’t named in the Dominion suit.
1093
00:32:11,359 –> 00:32:13,519
That whole thing was pretty crazy.
1094
00:32:13,519 –> 00:32:16,359
But but I do think just in general,
1095
00:32:16,359 –> 00:32:19,719
if you see someone who like they’re very opposed to
1096
00:32:19,719 –> 00:32:20,439
noticing,
1097
00:32:20,439 –> 00:32:21,879
I don’t just mean Fox News,
1098
00:32:22,599 –> 00:32:26,199
but the people who seek to channel the energies of
1099
00:32:26,199 –> 00:32:28,679
the population in directions that don’t threaten them.
1100
00:32:29,319 –> 00:32:30,119
If you have some,
1101
00:32:30,119 –> 00:32:30,759
I see it,
1102
00:32:30,919 –> 00:32:31,239
man.
1103
00:32:31,239 –> 00:32:33,799
In fact, I’ll tell you this without using names.
1104
00:32:33,879 –> 00:32:34,839
Yesterday,
1105
00:32:35,159 –> 00:32:38,759
someone sent me a clip from a well-known lefty who’s
1106
00:32:38,759 –> 00:32:39,359
on the internet.
1107
00:32:39,359 –> 00:32:40,759
It’s a very well-known person.
1108
00:32:40,759 –> 00:32:41,879
And this person was like,
1109
00:32:41,879 –> 00:32:42,759
wait a second,
1110
00:32:43,639 –> 00:32:44,039
you know,
1111
00:32:44,039 –> 00:32:44,919
what is that?
1112
00:32:45,319 –> 00:32:47,759
was noticing stuff that you’re not allowed to notice.
1113
00:32:47,759 –> 00:32:49,559
And I, not naughty stuff,
1114
00:32:49,559 –> 00:32:50,319
not hateful stuff,
1115
00:32:50,319 –> 00:32:50,839
but just like,
1116
00:32:50,839 –> 00:32:51,959
wait, why are we doing it this way?
1117
00:32:52,439 –> 00:32:54,719
And I immediately got the person’s number and I called
1118
00:32:54,719 –> 00:32:55,879
that person and I was like,
1119
00:32:56,039 –> 00:32:57,279
I know what you’re going through.
1120
00:32:57,279 –> 00:32:57,879
The person was like,
1121
00:32:57,919 –> 00:32:58,199
oh my gosh,
1122
00:32:58,199 –> 00:33:00,039
I can’t believe I’m talking to the Nazi Tucker Carlson.
1123
00:33:00,359 –> 00:33:00,679
I was like,
1124
00:33:00,679 –> 00:33:01,239
settle down.
1125
00:33:02,119 –> 00:33:06,999
You are starting to notice that the things you’ve been
1126
00:33:06,999 –> 00:33:08,199
saying are lies.
1127
00:33:08,599 –> 00:33:09,279
And trust me,
1128
00:33:09,279 –> 00:33:11,399
these explosions are going to start going off in your
1129
00:33:11,399 –> 00:33:13,239
head and you’re going to become a different person.
1130
00:33:13,239 –> 00:33:14,039
And this person said to me,
1131
00:33:14,039 –> 00:33:14,919
that’s what’s happening to me.
1132
00:33:14,919 –> 00:33:16,719
And I said,
1133
00:33:17,159 –> 00:33:17,879
oh, dude,
1134
00:33:18,199 –> 00:33:18,679
oh, dude,
1135
00:33:19,319 –> 00:33:20,119
I’ve been there.
1136
00:33:20,199 –> 00:33:20,839
I’ve been there.
1137
00:33:20,839 –> 00:33:21,319
And again,
1138
00:33:21,639 –> 00:33:23,959
they try to like scare people out of free thinking
1139
00:33:23,959 –> 00:33:24,439
because they’re like,
1140
00:33:24,439 –> 00:33:25,959
well, if you really start thinking for yourself,
1141
00:33:25,959 –> 00:33:27,159
you’ll become a Nazi.
1142
00:33:27,559 –> 00:33:28,199
You know what I mean?
1143
00:33:28,199 –> 00:33:30,839
You’ll be Randy Weaver and die in a gunfight with the
1144
00:33:30,919 –> 00:33:31,639
federal agents.
1145
00:33:31,639 –> 00:33:31,959
It’s like,
1146
00:33:32,039 –> 00:33:32,719
no, no, no.
1147
00:33:32,839 –> 00:33:34,119
It’s not about hating people.
1148
00:33:34,519 –> 00:33:37,079
It’s not about having like evil views.
1149
00:33:37,319 –> 00:33:38,839
It’s about thinking for yourself.
1150
00:33:38,879 –> 00:33:41,399
And if you allow yourself to think for yourself,
1151
00:33:41,799 –> 00:33:44,079
you’re going to wind up in places that are a direct
1152
00:33:44,079 –> 00:33:46,039
threat to the liars in charge of everything.
1153
00:33:46,279 –> 00:33:48,399
And I think they could just see that process happening
1154
00:33:48,399 –> 00:33:49,159
in my brain.
1155
00:33:49,159 –> 00:33:49,719
I was like,
1156
00:33:49,719 –> 00:33:53,239
wait, this is all a lie and I’m not going to participate
1157
00:33:53,239 –> 00:33:54,039
in it anymore.
1158
00:33:54,199 –> 00:33:55,639
The second you do that,
1159
00:33:55,639 –> 00:33:56,999
man, they want to kill you.
1160
00:33:57,479 –> 00:33:57,879
Fact.
1161
00:33:58,519 –> 00:33:59,159
They got you.
1162
00:33:59,239 –> 00:34:00,199
Well, they didn’t.
1163
00:34:00,199 –> 00:34:01,239
You missed motherfuckers.
1164
00:34:03,479 –> 00:34:04,399
Well, I didn’t care.
1165
00:34:04,519 –> 00:34:05,879
so I wasn’t killable.
1166
00:34:06,199 –> 00:34:06,759
You can only,
1167
00:34:06,959 –> 00:34:10,519
I mean, you really have to care a lot to be vulnerable,
1168
00:34:10,519 –> 00:34:11,519
but I didn’t care.
1169
00:34:11,519 –> 00:34:14,679
I mean, I cared about my family and God and my dogs
1170
00:34:14,679 –> 00:34:15,919
and, you know,
1171
00:34:15,919 –> 00:34:17,719
and I was in a privileged position because I paid
1172
00:34:17,719 –> 00:34:18,439
off my mortgage.
1173
00:34:18,519 –> 00:34:19,319
So at that point,
1174
00:34:19,319 –> 00:34:20,439
when you pay off your mortgage,
1175
00:34:21,239 –> 00:34:23,719
and then we sold the house and moved to a much smaller
1176
00:34:23,719 –> 00:34:24,199
house.
1177
00:34:24,519 –> 00:34:26,519
If you’re not living unsustainably,
1178
00:34:26,759 –> 00:34:27,399
like if you’re not,
1179
00:34:27,399 –> 00:34:27,639
you know,
1180
00:34:27,639 –> 00:34:30,199
carrying the notes on three different houses and like
1181
00:34:30,199 –> 00:34:32,519
chartering planes and living like an asshole,
1182
00:34:32,839 –> 00:34:33,559
if you’re just like,
1183
00:34:33,639 –> 00:34:35,399
try to live in a pretty moderate way,
1184
00:34:35,719 –> 00:34:37,479
not accumulate debt,
1185
00:34:37,959 –> 00:34:38,399
then like,
1186
00:34:38,399 –> 00:34:39,799
what are they going to do to you?
1187
00:34:39,799 –> 00:34:41,399
I guess storm into your house and shoot you,
1188
00:34:41,399 –> 00:34:41,719
but
1189
00:34:42,279 –> 00:34:43,559
You can’t really control that,
1190
00:34:43,559 –> 00:34:44,679
so it’s not worth worrying about.
1191
00:34:44,679 –> 00:34:45,799
Well, I own my house,
1192
00:34:45,879 –> 00:34:46,799
praise be to God.
1193
00:34:46,799 –> 00:34:47,319
And you know,
1194
00:34:47,319 –> 00:34:50,639
like when the legal system here in the courts and
1195
00:34:50,959 –> 00:34:53,319
all of that locked me out of my house,
1196
00:34:53,319 –> 00:34:55,239
thinking it was going to collapse,
1197
00:34:55,559 –> 00:34:55,879
right?
1198
00:34:56,439 –> 00:34:56,959
It didn’t,
1199
00:34:56,959 –> 00:34:57,399
fucker.
1200
00:34:57,479 –> 00:34:58,359
It’s all paid off.
1201
00:34:58,879 –> 00:35:02,079
I lived the good Midwestern value,
1202
00:35:02,079 –> 00:35:03,399
like work hard,
1203
00:35:03,399 –> 00:35:04,359
save your money,
1204
00:35:04,359 –> 00:35:05,399
pay your bills,
1205
00:35:05,639 –> 00:35:06,519
be industrious.
1206
00:35:07,079 –> 00:35:07,879
You didn’t get me.
1207
00:35:08,839 –> 00:35:09,039
So
1208
00:35:11,079 –> 00:35:11,599
That’s funny.
1209
00:35:11,959 –> 00:35:14,279
That’s what you just said is exactly,
1210
00:35:14,599 –> 00:35:17,279
you put it so much more crisply than I could have,
1211
00:35:17,279 –> 00:35:20,359
but that’s exactly the mindset I’m talking about.
1212
00:35:20,599 –> 00:35:21,959
You’ve got your little piece,
1213
00:35:22,199 –> 00:35:23,279
no one can control you,
1214
00:35:23,279 –> 00:35:24,119
and then you’re free.
1215
00:35:24,119 –> 00:35:25,159
It’s really that simple.
1216
00:35:25,399 –> 00:35:27,239
And here’s my taxes.
1217
00:35:27,239 –> 00:35:28,639
I already planned for that.
1218
00:35:28,639 –> 00:35:30,679
You’re not going to get me that way either.
1219
00:35:39,519 –> 00:35:40,759
American Coney Island.
1220
00:35:40,839 –> 00:35:44,199
So good, even Al Roker from the Today Show eats here.
1221
00:35:44,359 –> 00:35:45,439
Not like that other guy,
1222
00:35:45,439 –> 00:35:46,519
Al Joker,
1223
00:35:46,679 –> 00:35:47,959
who eats at Lafayette.
1224
00:35:48,519 –> 00:35:51,239
So make sure you’re a Roker and not a joker.
1225
00:35:51,639 –> 00:35:52,679
American Coney Island.
1226
00:36:04,919 –> 00:36:05,319
Well, you know,
1227
00:36:05,319 –> 00:36:05,959
when it rains,
1228
00:36:05,959 –> 00:36:06,919
the power goes out.
1229
00:36:06,919 –> 00:36:08,119
When the power goes out,
1230
00:36:08,119 –> 00:36:09,039
the internet goes out.
1231
00:36:09,039 –> 00:36:10,119
When the internet goes out,
1232
00:36:10,119 –> 00:36:13,319
I call my friend Matt and Bernie at XG Service Group.
1233
00:36:13,479 –> 00:36:15,319
Look at Bernie here on his hands and knees,
1234
00:36:15,559 –> 00:36:16,839
giving it everything he’s got.
1235
00:36:17,399 –> 00:36:18,599
Look at that man crack.
1236
00:36:18,919 –> 00:36:19,799
So busy.
1237
00:36:20,359 –> 00:36:21,359
He forgot to wear a belt.
1238
00:36:21,399 –> 00:36:23,479
There’s Matt right there getting the board together.
1239
00:36:23,479 –> 00:36:26,199
That’s 734-245-4100.
1240
00:36:26,199 –> 00:36:29,039
If you need Matt and Bernie to come take care of your
1241
00:36:29,039 –> 00:36:29,959
voice over internet,
1242
00:36:30,199 –> 00:36:31,319
your security cameras,
1243
00:36:31,559 –> 00:36:33,159
off-campus access control,
1244
00:36:33,399 –> 00:36:35,799
Wi-Fi and cameras for homes and business,
1245
00:36:35,799 –> 00:36:36,919
they’ll design it for you.
1246
00:36:37,159 –> 00:36:37,999
You got restaurants,
1247
00:36:37,999 –> 00:36:39,159
they do drive-through systems,
1248
00:36:39,159 –> 00:36:40,999
railroad cameras for public safety.
1249
00:36:41,159 –> 00:36:44,439
Total wireless camera systems for your home and business.
1250
00:36:44,679 –> 00:36:45,159
Yeah, that’s right.
1251
00:36:45,159 –> 00:36:48,879
Call XG Services at 734-245-4100.
1252
00:36:49,399 –> 00:36:52,439
So I’m just thinking of just the bullshit out there
1253
00:36:52,439 –> 00:36:54,519
in this lefty who’s coming away.
1254
00:36:54,759 –> 00:36:55,559
Now, granted,
1255
00:36:55,879 –> 00:36:58,199
there’s Nazis and racists and,
1256
00:36:58,199 –> 00:36:58,399
you know,
1257
00:36:58,399 –> 00:37:00,279
but this vast right-wing,
1258
00:37:01,399 –> 00:37:02,599
nationalistic,
1259
00:37:02,919 –> 00:37:06,599
fascistic movement that is our biggest threat.
1260
00:37:06,839 –> 00:37:08,519
Did you notice like Charlottesville?
1261
00:37:08,519 –> 00:37:09,639
They always go to Charlottesville.
1262
00:37:10,559 –> 00:37:13,479
And they used the rack focus to get those tiki torches,
1263
00:37:13,479 –> 00:37:13,719
right?
1264
00:37:13,999 –> 00:37:15,399
close up on the eyes.
1265
00:37:16,119 –> 00:37:19,239
Not 1 fucking reporter counted how many Nazis are walking.
1266
00:37:19,239 –> 00:37:19,879
Did you notice that?
1267
00:37:19,959 –> 00:37:21,159
Like, how many were there?
1268
00:37:21,479 –> 00:37:22,039
40?
1269
00:37:22,439 –> 00:37:23,239
400?
1270
00:37:23,479 –> 00:37:24,599
40,000?
1271
00:37:24,679 –> 00:37:25,239
How many?
1272
00:37:26,079 –> 00:37:27,719
It’s a couple 100 guys.
1273
00:37:27,719 –> 00:37:28,799
How about interviewing them?
1274
00:37:29,079 –> 00:37:30,759
Like, how long have you been a Nazi?
1275
00:37:30,839 –> 00:37:33,799
And have you ever taken any money at all from the FBI?
1276
00:37:34,439 –> 00:37:37,559
You know, have you ever received a payment as a confidential
1277
00:37:37,559 –> 00:37:38,919
source from a federal agency?
1278
00:37:38,999 –> 00:37:41,239
Radicalized by the federal paycheck.
1279
00:37:41,959 –> 00:37:42,919
Well, no, but you know,
1280
00:37:42,919 –> 00:37:43,639
they’re fake.
1281
00:37:43,679 –> 00:37:44,919
I mean, they’re totally fake.
1282
00:37:44,959 –> 00:37:47,479
I mean, I’ve been around,
1283
00:37:47,719 –> 00:37:47,959
you know,
1284
00:37:47,959 –> 00:37:50,119
for 55 years and I’ve,
1285
00:37:50,759 –> 00:37:53,639
I just do not detect a lot of race hatred in Americans
1286
00:37:53,639 –> 00:37:56,919
at all, despite massive coordinated efforts by our
1287
00:37:56,919 –> 00:37:58,319
leaders to gin up a race war,
1288
00:37:58,319 –> 00:38:00,159
which they’ve been working on since Charles Manson,
1289
00:38:00,159 –> 00:38:00,759
at least.
1290
00:38:01,239 –> 00:38:03,239
They really want a race war super bad.
1291
00:38:03,399 –> 00:38:06,999
And Americans are like very resistant to race war because
1292
00:38:06,999 –> 00:38:10,199
they’re like really nice people who try their hardest
1293
00:38:10,679 –> 00:38:13,479
to see other human beings for who they are and not
1294
00:38:13,479 –> 00:38:13,959
for how they are.
1295
00:38:13,959 –> 00:38:14,839
Oh, and by the way,
1296
00:38:15,159 –> 00:38:15,879
by the way,
1297
00:38:16,439 –> 00:38:17,479
keep your point in your head.
1298
00:38:18,279 –> 00:38:19,399
We know each other.
1299
00:38:19,399 –> 00:38:21,239
A lot of us are mixed.
1300
00:38:21,319 –> 00:38:22,999
We hang out on Friday night.
1301
00:38:22,999 –> 00:38:23,399
You know, I mean,
1302
00:38:23,399 –> 00:38:26,239
we worked at like it’s it’s this isn’t 1940.
1303
00:38:27,239 –> 00:38:27,639
Oh, I know.
1304
00:38:28,439 –> 00:38:30,599
The New York Times really and the Washington Post and
1305
00:38:30,599 –> 00:38:34,159
the big media outlets have really tried to stoke a
1306
00:38:34,159 –> 00:38:34,599
race war.
1307
00:38:34,599 –> 00:38:36,679
They have tried so hard for 40 years.
1308
00:38:36,759 –> 00:38:37,959
I mean, I’ve watched the whole thing.
1309
00:38:37,959 –> 00:38:39,799
I didn’t get it until a few years ago,
1310
00:38:40,039 –> 00:38:41,559
but their position is really simple.
1311
00:38:41,559 –> 00:38:42,959
Just don’t criticize the banks.
1312
00:38:42,959 –> 00:38:45,159
And if you start to criticize the banks,
1313
00:38:45,159 –> 00:38:45,879
then we’re going to,
1314
00:38:45,959 –> 00:38:46,199
you know,
1315
00:38:46,199 –> 00:38:48,919
really encourage you to have a race war so you won’t
1316
00:38:48,919 –> 00:38:49,839
criticize the banks.
1317
00:38:49,839 –> 00:38:50,519
Like, okay,
1318
00:38:50,519 –> 00:38:51,559
I get it finally.
1319
00:38:52,119 –> 00:38:53,959
And I really haven’t criticized the banks very much
1320
00:38:53,959 –> 00:38:55,319
because I don’t understand banks.
1321
00:38:56,439 –> 00:38:57,719
Because I’m so ignorant,
1322
00:38:58,039 –> 00:38:58,439
you know,
1323
00:38:58,519 –> 00:38:58,839
and not- Oh,
1324
00:38:58,839 –> 00:39:00,519
you gotta know is you got some money in the bank,
1325
00:39:00,519 –> 00:39:00,759
brother.
1326
00:39:00,759 –> 00:39:01,479
That’s all you gotta know.
1327
00:39:01,479 –> 00:39:02,159
Exactly.
1328
00:39:02,159 –> 00:39:03,639
I’m just not an expert on this stuff.
1329
00:39:03,639 –> 00:39:05,719
So it really took me a long time to figure it out.
1330
00:39:06,199 –> 00:39:08,119
But I just watched what they did to Bernie,
1331
00:39:08,119 –> 00:39:09,719
who himself was like a complete fraud,
1332
00:39:09,719 –> 00:39:10,199
actually.
1333
00:39:10,199 –> 00:39:11,679
But when he first started,
1334
00:39:11,679 –> 00:39:12,199
I was like,
1335
00:39:12,199 –> 00:39:14,519
I think I kind of like this Bernie Sanders guy because,
1336
00:39:14,759 –> 00:39:15,879
not because I agree with him on,
1337
00:39:15,879 –> 00:39:16,119
you know,
1338
00:39:16,119 –> 00:39:18,439
abortion because I don’t at all.
1339
00:39:18,679 –> 00:39:21,919
But I do think it’s important for someone to push back
1340
00:39:21,999 –> 00:39:22,599
against the banks,
1341
00:39:22,599 –> 00:39:23,479
like once in a while.
1342
00:39:24,119 –> 00:39:27,759
And I saw them take him out and the whole thing with
1343
00:39:27,759 –> 00:39:29,759
the leaked DNC emails,
1344
00:39:29,759 –> 00:39:31,559
which clearly was fake.
1345
00:39:31,559 –> 00:39:33,079
It was not Russia that did that.
1346
00:39:33,079 –> 00:39:35,559
I mean, just the lying around all of that was shocking
1347
00:39:35,559 –> 00:39:35,799
to me.
1348
00:39:36,119 –> 00:39:36,519
And I was like,
1349
00:39:36,519 –> 00:39:38,599
why would they want to take out Bernie Sanders?
1350
00:39:38,759 –> 00:39:40,119
Oh, because he criticized the banks.
1351
00:39:40,119 –> 00:39:40,759
That’s why.
1352
00:39:40,919 –> 00:39:42,039
Like that’s the red line.
1353
00:39:42,039 –> 00:39:43,159
And that’s why they pulled in,
1354
00:39:44,359 –> 00:39:46,039
obviously that’s why they pulled in Joe Biden.
1355
00:39:46,559 –> 00:39:47,599
you know, in 2019,
1356
00:39:47,599 –> 00:39:49,319
despite the fact that he was senile,
1357
00:39:49,319 –> 00:39:51,039
it’s because he had been a faithful servant of the
1358
00:39:51,039 –> 00:39:51,319
banks.
1359
00:39:51,559 –> 00:39:54,199
He’s the one who wrote the bankruptcy bill that exempted
1360
00:39:54,199 –> 00:39:55,719
credit card companies from bankruptcy.
1361
00:39:55,879 –> 00:39:58,439
You can’t charge a credit card bill in bankruptcy because
1362
00:39:58,679 –> 00:40:00,199
Joe Biden got paid off by the banks.
1363
00:40:00,199 –> 00:40:00,879
They got him his house.
1364
00:40:00,879 –> 00:40:01,919
They got him his son a job.
1365
00:40:01,919 –> 00:40:04,119
I mean, it was like pure bribery.
1366
00:40:04,359 –> 00:40:05,799
And I’d go on Fox News and I’d be like,
1367
00:40:05,799 –> 00:40:06,359
wait a second,
1368
00:40:06,839 –> 00:40:08,919
Joe Biden is the servant of the credit card companies.
1369
00:40:08,919 –> 00:40:10,079
That’s his major sin.
1370
00:40:10,079 –> 00:40:10,799
And everyone would be like,
1371
00:40:10,799 –> 00:40:11,559
who cares?
1372
00:40:11,759 –> 00:40:12,879
Credit card companies are fine.
1373
00:40:12,879 –> 00:40:13,119
It’s like,
1374
00:40:13,119 –> 00:40:13,599
no, no, no.
1375
00:40:13,959 –> 00:40:16,039
Credit card companies are totally evil.
1376
00:40:16,599 –> 00:40:18,839
And we should be pushing back against the credit.
1377
00:40:18,839 –> 00:40:20,839
I mean, where’s the vector for suffering in the life
1378
00:40:20,839 –> 00:40:21,679
of the average American?
1379
00:40:21,679 –> 00:40:22,319
It’s a credit card.
1380
00:40:22,599 –> 00:40:22,999
You know, bro,
1381
00:40:23,079 –> 00:40:27,079
I during that whole inflation tidal wave,
1382
00:40:27,559 –> 00:40:29,359
again, speaking of credit cards,
1383
00:40:29,359 –> 00:40:32,519
and you can’t declare bankruptcy on your credit card,
1384
00:40:32,759 –> 00:40:33,999
that follows you now.
1385
00:40:33,999 –> 00:40:35,239
And we’re all living off of them.
1386
00:40:35,319 –> 00:40:36,399
And nobody,
1387
00:40:36,839 –> 00:40:38,479
nobody reporting about crime,
1388
00:40:38,479 –> 00:40:39,199
they got it wrong.
1389
00:40:39,199 –> 00:40:41,119
Nobody reporting about the economy and jobs,
1390
00:40:41,119 –> 00:40:41,959
they got it wrong,
1391
00:40:41,959 –> 00:40:42,759
was bullshit.
1392
00:40:44,879 –> 00:40:47,879
The interest rate on the credit cards went up to 25%.
1393
00:40:47,879 –> 00:40:51,679
That’s not included in information anymore.
1394
00:40:52,079 –> 00:40:52,639
Oh, I know.
1395
00:40:52,799 –> 00:40:53,359
Oh, I know.
1396
00:40:53,519 –> 00:40:56,319
And I really think like you can stand up.
1397
00:40:56,319 –> 00:40:58,159
It’s so interesting what you can’t say.
1398
00:40:58,159 –> 00:40:59,839
So like you can stand up,
1399
00:40:59,839 –> 00:41:02,159
you can burn the American flag,
1400
00:41:02,159 –> 00:41:03,759
you can attack anybody,
1401
00:41:03,759 –> 00:41:04,479
you know what I mean?
1402
00:41:04,959 –> 00:41:06,959
But there are a few things you can’t say,
1403
00:41:07,199 –> 00:41:09,599
and you can’t criticize reform policy in a meaningful
1404
00:41:09,599 –> 00:41:09,919
way.
1405
00:41:09,919 –> 00:41:10,879
You can’t do that.
1406
00:41:11,039 –> 00:41:11,919
Okay, trust me.
1407
00:41:12,239 –> 00:41:15,639
And the second thing you can’t do is call for organized
1408
00:41:15,639 –> 00:41:16,639
resistance to credit cards.
1409
00:41:16,639 –> 00:41:17,999
So if you got up and said,
1410
00:41:18,239 –> 00:41:18,479
you know,
1411
00:41:18,639 –> 00:41:22,239
let’s start a new political party whose purpose is
1412
00:41:22,239 –> 00:41:24,519
to bring the credit card to lenders to their knees.
1413
00:41:24,519 –> 00:41:26,639
So we’ll just get like 3 million people and all pledge
1414
00:41:26,639 –> 00:41:27,759
not to pay our credit card bills.
1415
00:41:27,919 –> 00:41:29,199
And then you’ll have to listen to us.
1416
00:41:29,679 –> 00:41:31,959
So I’ve actually toyed with that.
1417
00:41:31,959 –> 00:41:33,359
I don’t really want to get assassinated,
1418
00:41:33,359 –> 00:41:35,359
so I’m probably not going to do it.
1419
00:41:35,599 –> 00:41:37,519
But like, if you tried that,
1420
00:41:37,519 –> 00:41:38,799
you would go to jail.
1421
00:41:38,959 –> 00:41:39,759
You would go to jail.
1422
00:41:39,759 –> 00:41:40,639
If you stood up and said,
1423
00:41:40,639 –> 00:41:41,599
hey, everybody,
1424
00:41:41,759 –> 00:41:43,679
let’s not pay your credit card bill.
1425
00:41:44,159 –> 00:41:47,359
And then let’s see if MBNA like changes its attitude
1426
00:41:47,359 –> 00:41:47,799
a little better.
1427
00:41:47,799 –> 00:41:49,839
We could have like a real conversation about actual
1428
00:41:49,839 –> 00:41:50,319
economics,
1429
00:41:50,319 –> 00:41:51,439
not bullshit economics,
1430
00:41:51,599 –> 00:41:52,719
not abstract economics,
1431
00:41:52,719 –> 00:41:54,879
but like the economics of the average American,
1432
00:41:54,999 –> 00:41:56,879
which center around credit cards,
1433
00:41:57,079 –> 00:41:58,559
which are pushed on people,
1434
00:41:58,879 –> 00:42:01,279
lending at rates that put members of the mafia in
1435
00:42:01,279 –> 00:42:03,999
prison on RICO charges for loan sharking,
1436
00:42:04,159 –> 00:42:05,999
but they’re doing it legally because they pay off
1437
00:42:05,999 –> 00:42:06,799
the politicians.
1438
00:42:07,039 –> 00:42:09,039
Let’s fight back in the most simple,
1439
00:42:09,039 –> 00:42:10,399
nonviolent possible way,
1440
00:42:10,399 –> 00:42:12,039
in a way that Gandhi and Martin Luther King would
1441
00:42:12,039 –> 00:42:12,559
approve of.
1442
00:42:12,719 –> 00:42:13,919
Just don’t pay your credit card bill.
1443
00:42:14,479 –> 00:42:15,759
I dare you to say that.
1444
00:42:15,759 –> 00:42:17,759
They’ll take you right off the YouTube thing.
1445
00:42:17,919 –> 00:42:19,079
Well, I’m not saying it.
1446
00:42:19,119 –> 00:42:20,839
I’m just it’s just a thought experiment,
1447
00:42:20,839 –> 00:42:21,079
Charlie.
1448
00:42:21,079 –> 00:42:22,159
A little thought bubble here.
1449
00:42:22,159 –> 00:42:23,239
It just slipped out of there.
1450
00:42:23,239 –> 00:42:23,759
Yeah, exactly.
1451
00:42:24,199 –> 00:42:24,599
And they’re like,
1452
00:42:24,599 –> 00:42:25,839
well, that’s so destructive.
1453
00:42:25,839 –> 00:42:26,319
Really?
1454
00:42:26,559 –> 00:42:27,439
Have you been to Reading,
1455
00:42:27,439 –> 00:42:28,119
Pennsylvania?
1456
00:42:28,119 –> 00:42:29,519
Have you been to Midtown Manhattan?
1457
00:42:29,519 –> 00:42:32,079
Have you been to most of Washington,
1458
00:42:32,079 –> 00:42:32,639
D.C.?
1459
00:42:32,879 –> 00:42:34,239
Have you been outside your house?
1460
00:42:34,239 –> 00:42:35,519
They’ve destroyed the country,
1461
00:42:35,519 –> 00:42:36,559
physically destroyed it.
1462
00:42:36,879 –> 00:42:39,119
They burned down massive parts of Wisconsin and they
1463
00:42:39,119 –> 00:42:39,839
never rebuilt it.
1464
00:42:39,919 –> 00:42:40,879
They burned down Minneapolis.
1465
00:42:40,879 –> 00:42:41,759
They never rebuilt it.
1466
00:42:42,359 –> 00:42:43,599
They don’t care about destruction.
1467
00:42:43,599 –> 00:42:44,839
They’re all about destruction.
1468
00:42:45,279 –> 00:42:47,679
So don’t give me a lecture about destruction because
1469
00:42:47,679 –> 00:42:49,199
people don’t pay their credit card bills.
1470
00:42:49,279 –> 00:42:49,799
Up yours.
1471
00:42:50,479 –> 00:42:51,599
You know your teeth can’t heal,
1472
00:42:51,599 –> 00:42:52,879
but the stock market can.
1473
00:42:52,879 –> 00:42:53,839
That’s just a fact.
1474
00:42:54,159 –> 00:42:56,199
The market roller coaster is making you grind your
1475
00:42:56,199 –> 00:42:56,479
teeth.
1476
00:42:56,719 –> 00:43:02,159

Just hang on to your flower.
1480
00:43:07,279 –> 00:43:09,519
Some people are saying that the earth will be better
1481
00:43:09,519 –> 00:43:10,719
when this is all over.
1482
00:43:11,479 –> 00:43:12,239

up?

Are you a son or a daughter wishing your mom or dad
1487
00:43:19,839 –> 00:43:20,879
lived closer to home?
1488

Are you a caregiver with good heart and good character,
1489
00:43:24,559 –> 00:43:26,719
but you feel stuck in a dead-end job?

00:43:27,239 –> 00:43:30,079

00:43:30,079 –> 00:43:32,959
estate investment within a fast-growing market?

No.
1498
00:43:52,639 –> 00:43:53,119
Liar.
1499
00:43:53,199 –> 00:43:53,919
I believe in God.
1500
00:43:53,959 –> 00:43:55,639
I mean, I’m not worried at all.
1501
00:43:55,639 –> 00:43:55,999
You liar.
1502
00:43:55,999 –> 00:43:57,279
That’s why you got out of DC,
1503
00:43:57,279 –> 00:43:57,519
man.
1504
00:43:57,519 –> 00:43:59,599
They were like trying to bust into your home.
1505
00:44:00,879 –> 00:44:02,079
Yeah, but I believe,
1506
00:44:02,399 –> 00:44:03,999
I’m like pretty committed,
1507
00:44:04,679 –> 00:44:05,919
especially as I’ve gotten older,
1508
00:44:05,919 –> 00:44:07,839
to, you know,
1509
00:44:07,839 –> 00:44:08,919
to opposing violence.
1510
00:44:08,959 –> 00:44:09,759
I think it’s bad.
1511
00:44:09,759 –> 00:44:11,199
I think it’s bad to hurt people.
1512
00:44:11,199 –> 00:44:11,679
I do.
1513
00:44:11,759 –> 00:44:13,679
I think it’s like central to the Christian message,
1514
00:44:13,679 –> 00:44:14,119
actually,
1515
00:44:14,119 –> 00:44:16,479
which for some reason no one ever talks about.
1516
00:44:16,479 –> 00:44:19,879
I remember vividly all these fraudulent preachers,
1517
00:44:19,879 –> 00:44:21,519
all these false prophets getting up and saying,
1518
00:44:21,519 –> 00:44:22,319
no, we need to sit,
1519
00:44:22,399 –> 00:44:23,359
even recently,
1520
00:44:23,799 –> 00:44:24,519
You know, Mike Johnson,
1521
00:44:24,519 –> 00:44:25,119
the Speaker of the House,
1522
00:44:25,119 –> 00:44:26,079
he’s a Christian,
1523
00:44:26,559 –> 00:44:29,279
calling for cluster bombs to be sent to Ukraine.
1524
00:44:29,279 –> 00:44:29,679
It’s like,
1525
00:44:29,759 –> 00:44:30,319
really?
1526
00:44:30,399 –> 00:44:31,959
Applauding what’s happening in Gaza?
1527
00:44:31,959 –> 00:44:32,239
Really?
1528
00:44:32,239 –> 00:44:33,039
You’re A Christian?
1529
00:44:33,599 –> 00:44:34,559
And so whatever.
1530
00:44:34,639 –> 00:44:35,279
I’m not even,
1531
00:44:35,359 –> 00:44:36,639
I shouldn’t even attack anybody.
1532
00:44:36,639 –> 00:44:37,679
Everyone has their own views,
1533
00:44:37,679 –> 00:44:40,559
but my view is that is not allowed by my religion.
1534
00:44:40,639 –> 00:44:43,199
Okay, so I’m against violence.
1535
00:44:43,919 –> 00:44:45,519
And I feel like I have to be.
1536
00:44:45,839 –> 00:44:49,599
No war, freedom of speech,
1537
00:44:50,159 –> 00:44:52,559
freedom from the chains of the big bank.
1538
00:44:53,599 –> 00:44:53,759
Yeah.
1539
00:44:54,759 –> 00:44:55,439
Are you a liberal?
1540
00:44:56,559 –> 00:44:57,519
I’m just a Nazi.
1541
00:44:57,519 –> 00:44:58,719
That’s just pure Nazi stuff.
1542
00:45:01,279 –> 00:45:02,879
It’s so fucking crazy.
1543
00:45:03,199 –> 00:45:03,839
Whatever.
1544
00:45:03,919 –> 00:45:06,959
I’m not, I’m really trying to reorient my brain to
1545
00:45:07,279 –> 00:45:11,039
the extent I can at my advanced age to not
1546
00:45:11,479 –> 00:45:14,599
like hate people or be mad about people who disagree
1547
00:45:14,599 –> 00:45:18,319
with me or mad at liars and instead just be positive.
1548
00:45:18,319 –> 00:45:20,479
Like if you live without debt,
1549
00:45:20,479 –> 00:45:23,039
if you really make an attempt not to hurt other people,
1550
00:45:23,039 –> 00:45:23,879
you’re still going to hurt them,
1551
00:45:23,879 –> 00:45:24,239
okay?
1552
00:45:24,799 –> 00:45:26,719
But just try not to hurt other people.
1553
00:45:26,719 –> 00:45:28,159
Try not to endorse violence.
1554
00:45:28,639 –> 00:45:29,999
Try not to be a hater.
1555
00:45:30,519 –> 00:45:31,239
Like that’s the way.
1556
00:45:31,239 –> 00:45:34,079
It must start though.
1557
00:45:34,079 –> 00:45:36,799
It must start with truth.
1558
00:45:37,679 –> 00:45:37,919
Right?
1559
00:45:38,159 –> 00:45:38,319
Yeah.
1560
00:45:38,559 –> 00:45:39,039
It must.
1561
00:45:39,119 –> 00:45:41,839
You must know where you really stand.
1562
00:45:41,919 –> 00:45:42,799
Let me let me show you.
1563
00:45:43,279 –> 00:45:45,079
I told Emily I’d get you out.
1564
00:45:45,439 –> 00:45:45,839
Okay.
1565
00:45:46,639 –> 00:45:50,879
Remember, remember like way back when the first wave
1566
00:45:50,879 –> 00:45:51,919
of illegal immigration,
1567
00:45:51,919 –> 00:45:53,079
like just after NAFTA,
1568
00:45:53,079 –> 00:45:57,039
and it was like 11 million illegals are living here?
1569
00:45:57,839 –> 00:45:59,359
Do you know what they say today?
1570
00:45:59,359 –> 00:46:01,039
It’s 11 million after all of this.
1571
00:46:01,119 –> 00:46:03,279
Here’s the Dishonest Pew Research Center.
1572
00:46:03,679 –> 00:46:05,439
In 2005, what’s that say,
1573
00:46:05,439 –> 00:46:05,719
Martin?
1574
00:46:06,439 –> 00:46:07,719
What’s the peak there,
1575
00:46:07,719 –> 00:46:07,839
dude?
1576
00:46:07,839 –> 00:46:08,399
Is that 12.2?
1577
00:46:08,759 –> 00:46:09,279
12.2, yeah.
1578
00:46:09,439 –> 00:46:10,479
Like 2006.
1579
00:46:10,959 –> 00:46:11,279
Okay.
1580
00:46:11,759 –> 00:46:13,679
And at the end of 2022,
1581
00:46:13,679 –> 00:46:16,399
they say it’s 11 million as if nothing happened on
1582
00:46:16,399 –> 00:46:16,959
the border.
1583
00:46:17,359 –> 00:46:18,639
Well, that’s not the truth.
1584
00:46:18,879 –> 00:46:22,119
Now we got this Mara Salvatrucha dude.
1585
00:46:22,119 –> 00:46:24,319
Dude, how silly does this seem to you,
1586
00:46:24,559 –> 00:46:25,039
Tucker?
1587
00:46:26,399 –> 00:46:27,759
We didn’t deport him properly,
1588
00:46:27,759 –> 00:46:31,799
so we’re going to re-import him so we can re-deport
1589
00:46:31,799 –> 00:46:32,479
him properly.
1590
00:46:32,799 –> 00:46:34,199
Is that this argument?
1591
00:46:36,159 –> 00:46:37,999
I mean, I think the actual number,
1592
00:46:37,999 –> 00:46:41,199
I’m interested in this topic because the state that
1593
00:46:41,199 –> 00:46:43,199
I grew up in was totally destroyed by immigration.
1594
00:46:43,359 –> 00:46:45,439
I mean, actually destroyed.
1595
00:46:46,159 –> 00:46:47,439
They think it’s 50.
1596
00:46:48,319 –> 00:46:51,199
I spoke to someone with deep knowledge of this topic
1597
00:46:51,199 –> 00:46:52,759
who’s trying to get a handle on it in the federal
1598
00:46:52,759 –> 00:46:53,119
government.
1599
00:46:53,119 –> 00:46:54,159
They think it’s about 50.
1600
00:46:54,639 –> 00:46:55,839
So, I mean,
1601
00:46:56,159 –> 00:46:57,079
at that point,
1602
00:46:57,079 –> 00:46:57,679
it’s like,
1603
00:46:58,479 –> 00:47:01,839
okay, this is a democracy run by its citizens,
1604
00:47:01,999 –> 00:47:03,999
but citizenship doesn’t mean anything.
1605
00:47:04,479 –> 00:47:06,159
So where are we?
1606
00:47:06,799 –> 00:47:08,919
We’re living under a completely different system of
1607
00:47:08,919 –> 00:47:11,519
government and just haven’t metabolized that yet.
1608
00:47:12,159 –> 00:47:13,039
And, you know,
1609
00:47:13,199 –> 00:47:16,319
it raises a lot of really dark questions about the
1610
00:47:16,319 –> 00:47:16,999
future, I would say.
1611
00:47:16,999 –> 00:47:18,919
And that’s not an attack on any of the immigrants,
1612
00:47:18,919 –> 00:47:19,519
of course.
1613
00:47:19,519 –> 00:47:23,359
But I do think it’s going to be tough to be a nation
1614
00:47:23,359 –> 00:47:26,839
again in the sense that we who grew up here 40 years
1615
00:47:26,839 –> 00:47:27,919
ago would recognize.
1616
00:47:28,079 –> 00:47:29,919
Like, I just don’t think that’s going to happen,
1617
00:47:29,919 –> 00:47:30,639
unfortunately.
1618
00:47:30,639 –> 00:47:32,879
But I do think it’s possible to live
1619
00:47:33,399 –> 00:47:34,799
happily in turmoil.
1620
00:47:35,279 –> 00:47:36,879
You know, lots of people have.
1621
00:47:36,959 –> 00:47:39,359
There are tons of people who lived through Europe in
1622
00:47:39,359 –> 00:47:42,679
the 30s and 40s who like maintained close loving families
1623
00:47:42,679 –> 00:47:43,599
and went to heaven at the end.
1624
00:47:43,599 –> 00:47:46,319
So like people lived through the fall of Rome and had
1625
00:47:46,319 –> 00:47:47,199
meaningful lives.
1626
00:47:47,679 –> 00:47:50,559
But I just think we need to readjust the way that we
1627
00:47:50,559 –> 00:47:51,559
think about the country.
1628
00:47:51,559 –> 00:47:53,839
Because if you’ve got 50 million foreigners in your
1629
00:47:53,839 –> 00:47:56,479
country, then you’re not,
1630
00:47:56,559 –> 00:47:56,799
you know,
1631
00:47:56,799 –> 00:47:57,439
you’re a different,
1632
00:47:57,439 –> 00:47:58,719
I mean, I don’t want to say you’re not a country,
1633
00:47:58,719 –> 00:48:00,199
but you’re definitely a different kind of country
1634
00:48:00,199 –> 00:48:01,359
and you’re definitely not a nation.
1635
00:48:01,799 –> 00:48:07,479
You know, it’s trippy is when you become a naturalized
1636
00:48:07,599 –> 00:48:08,639
United States citizen,
1637
00:48:08,639 –> 00:48:10,159
you have to pledge allegiance,
1638
00:48:10,159 –> 00:48:10,359
right?
1639
00:48:10,359 –> 00:48:14,719
But yet you’re allowed to keep your citizenship to
1640
00:48:15,519 –> 00:48:16,479
your former country.
1641
00:48:16,479 –> 00:48:17,679
So you get to be a dual citizen.
1642
00:48:17,679 –> 00:48:18,719
I’m not a dual citizen.
1643
00:48:18,719 –> 00:48:20,559
You’re either here or you’re not.
1644
00:48:20,679 –> 00:48:22,799
And the Supreme Court has ruled that,
1645
00:48:23,999 –> 00:48:24,479
you know,
1646
00:48:24,639 –> 00:48:25,719
a natural,
1647
00:48:25,719 –> 00:48:26,799
a natural born American
1648
00:48:27,479 –> 00:48:29,119
I can claim his citizenship in Ireland.
1649
00:48:29,119 –> 00:48:29,919
My question is,
1650
00:48:30,079 –> 00:48:31,679
why do the Irish get to come here,
1651
00:48:31,919 –> 00:48:35,039
claim American citizenship and then also be Irish?
1652
00:48:35,119 –> 00:48:36,719
You get like 2 votes.
1653
00:48:37,039 –> 00:48:38,319
It’s like Club Med here.
1654
00:48:38,479 –> 00:48:39,559
I don’t, I don’t get this.
1655
00:48:40,559 –> 00:48:41,279
Well, and it,
1656
00:48:41,359 –> 00:48:42,119
it, it had,
1657
00:48:42,239 –> 00:48:42,399
you know,
1658
00:48:42,399 –> 00:48:42,799
I’ve had,
1659
00:48:42,879 –> 00:48:45,279
I’ve been forced to think a lot about this because
1660
00:48:45,519 –> 00:48:48,559
I travel a lot out of the country for work.
1661
00:48:48,639 –> 00:48:49,239
And, you know,
1662
00:48:49,239 –> 00:48:51,079
I know a lot of people in different countries and
1663
00:48:51,079 –> 00:48:52,399
I like a lot of different countries and I’ve been
1664
00:48:52,399 –> 00:48:54,639
offered a couple of times citizenship in other countries.
1665
00:48:55,359 –> 00:48:56,879
And I have turned it down.
1666
00:48:57,279 –> 00:48:58,719
But it’s forced me to think like,
1667
00:48:58,879 –> 00:49:00,159
am I going to stay in this country?
1668
00:49:00,159 –> 00:49:00,799
It’s obviously,
1669
00:49:00,799 –> 00:49:01,319
you know,
1670
00:49:01,319 –> 00:49:02,479
it’s been a hostile to me,
1671
00:49:02,719 –> 00:49:03,639
depending on the government.
1672
00:49:03,759 –> 00:49:05,079
And, you know,
1673
00:49:05,079 –> 00:49:05,439
I’ve really,
1674
00:49:05,439 –> 00:49:06,479
really thought about it a lot.
1675
00:49:06,559 –> 00:49:08,399
And I’ve decided with my family,
1676
00:49:08,399 –> 00:49:09,359
no, we’re staying.
1677
00:49:09,359 –> 00:49:10,199
We’re not going anywhere.
1678
00:49:10,199 –> 00:49:12,079
We’re not going to have another citizenship.
1679
00:49:12,159 –> 00:49:15,599
And once you decide that you’re staying here,
1680
00:49:15,679 –> 00:49:17,919
that you just lash yourself to the mast and like,
1681
00:49:18,159 –> 00:49:18,799
you’re all in,
1682
00:49:19,119 –> 00:49:21,799
it changes the way that you feel about the country.
1683
00:49:21,799 –> 00:49:22,799
And it changes,
1684
00:49:23,479 –> 00:49:26,559
you know, how willing you are to speak up and do something
1685
00:49:26,719 –> 00:49:28,919
to the best you can in your limited way on behalf
1686
00:49:28,919 –> 00:49:29,599
of that country.
1687
00:49:29,599 –> 00:49:30,879
So no, I mean,
1688
00:49:30,879 –> 00:49:32,359
we should allow no dual citizenship.
1689
00:49:32,599 –> 00:49:34,919
And certainly no one who serves in government should
1690
00:49:34,919 –> 00:49:35,919
be a dual citizen,
1691
00:49:36,039 –> 00:49:38,359
a citizen of another country serving in our government.
1692
00:49:38,679 –> 00:49:39,399
I mean, that’s like a,
1693
00:49:39,519 –> 00:49:42,599
that’s a day one change that they should make.
1694
00:49:42,599 –> 00:49:42,959
And of course,
1695
00:49:42,959 –> 00:49:45,039
no one’s going to make that change because that would
1696
00:49:45,039 –> 00:49:45,599
be bigoted.
1697
00:49:45,759 –> 00:49:47,519
It’s absolutely crazy that we have,
1698
00:49:47,519 –> 00:49:48,919
it’s crazy that we have it.
1699
00:49:48,919 –> 00:49:51,119
And I do think that would not solve all of our problems.
1700
00:49:51,119 –> 00:49:51,919
We have a lot of problems,
1701
00:49:51,919 –> 00:49:52,239
but
1702
00:49:52,959 –> 00:49:55,079
That would change the brains of certain people.
1703
00:49:55,079 –> 00:49:56,239
If you really felt like,
1704
00:49:56,559 –> 00:49:58,239
I’m stuck here and trust me,
1705
00:49:58,319 –> 00:49:59,959
the leadership class does not feel that way.
1706
00:49:59,959 –> 00:50:00,519
You’re like,
1707
00:50:00,519 –> 00:50:01,879
well, let’s go to New Zealand or go to,
1708
00:50:02,319 –> 00:50:02,559
you know,
1709
00:50:02,559 –> 00:50:03,439
go wherever,
1710
00:50:03,519 –> 00:50:04,639
go into space.
1711
00:50:05,679 –> 00:50:06,239
If you’re not,
1712
00:50:06,239 –> 00:50:07,439
then you’re not fully in.
1713
00:50:07,839 –> 00:50:09,999
It’s like polygamy at that point.
1714
00:50:09,999 –> 00:50:12,999
One of the huge problems with polygamy is that you
1715
00:50:12,999 –> 00:50:14,799
don’t have to listen to your wife
1716
00:50:15,319 –> 00:50:17,319
Because you’ve got another wife who’s probably in a
1717
00:50:17,319 –> 00:50:17,999
better mood.
1718
00:50:18,239 –> 00:50:18,799
You know what I mean?
1719
00:50:18,799 –> 00:50:20,479
And your wife gets all in your face and like,
1720
00:50:20,479 –> 00:50:21,879
you don’t understand what she’s saying because you’re
1721
00:50:21,879 –> 00:50:22,479
a man.
1722
00:50:22,479 –> 00:50:23,039
She’s just like,
1723
00:50:23,039 –> 00:50:23,919
wow, she’s a bitch.
1724
00:50:24,959 –> 00:50:28,599
But in a monogamous marriage,
1725
00:50:28,599 –> 00:50:29,959
you have to sit there and try and figure out what
1726
00:50:29,959 –> 00:50:31,439
she’s saying because you’re married to her or you’re
1727
00:50:31,439 –> 00:50:31,999
stuck with her.
1728
00:50:31,999 –> 00:50:33,199
And that process.
1729
00:50:33,639 –> 00:50:34,799
is a great thing.
1730
00:50:34,799 –> 00:50:35,839
That’s where you learn and grow.
1731
00:50:35,839 –> 00:50:36,239
It’s like,
1732
00:50:36,399 –> 00:50:38,199
you force yourself to try to understand what she’s
1733
00:50:38,199 –> 00:50:38,479
saying.
1734
00:50:38,639 –> 00:50:40,719
You force yourself to empathize with her,
1735
00:50:40,879 –> 00:50:42,799
and then your love for her grows deeper.
1736
00:50:42,799 –> 00:50:45,039
The understanding between you grows deeper because
1737
00:50:45,039 –> 00:50:46,719
you had no choice.
1738
00:50:47,359 –> 00:50:48,599
But if you have another wife,
1739
00:50:48,599 –> 00:50:49,039
you’re like,
1740
00:50:49,199 –> 00:50:50,599
ugh, crazy bitch,
1741
00:50:50,599 –> 00:50:51,959
and then go to the other wife’s house,
1742
00:50:51,959 –> 00:50:52,399
and like,
1743
00:50:52,719 –> 00:50:55,199
you never really learn about the person.
1744
00:50:55,199 –> 00:50:56,959
Your commitment is not total,
1745
00:50:57,279 –> 00:50:58,159
and you don’t grow.
1746
00:50:58,759 –> 00:50:59,879
And it’s same with your country.
1747
00:50:59,879 –> 00:51:00,319
It’s like,
1748
00:51:00,559 –> 00:51:02,479
yeah, this country’s super screwed up and I’m really
1749
00:51:02,479 –> 00:51:03,359
worried about its future,
1750
00:51:03,359 –> 00:51:06,239
but my family’s buried here and I’m not going anywhere.
1751
00:51:06,719 –> 00:51:08,959
I’m going to do everything I can to improve it.
1752
00:51:09,039 –> 00:51:10,919
That’s a totally different mindset.
1753
00:51:10,919 –> 00:51:11,999
And I can promise you,
1754
00:51:12,239 –> 00:51:14,399
I know this directly from firsthand knowledge,
1755
00:51:14,879 –> 00:51:17,279
that a lot of the richest people in our country do
1756
00:51:17,279 –> 00:51:17,999
not feel that way.
1757
00:51:18,319 –> 00:51:18,639
They’re like,
1758
00:51:18,639 –> 00:51:20,799
I’ll stay here till it becomes totally unmanageable
1759
00:51:20,959 –> 00:51:23,559
or my personal security costs become too high and
1760
00:51:23,919 –> 00:51:24,999
then I’ll move somewhere else.
1761
00:51:24,999 –> 00:51:26,479
Oh, you can’t have that.
1762
00:51:26,879 –> 00:51:27,719
Leave us with it.
1763
00:51:29,439 –> 00:51:32,759
She busy just nagging and nagging and talking and nagging
1764
00:51:32,759 –> 00:51:34,399
and nagging and fucking bitch.
1765
00:51:34,439 –> 00:51:35,359
I’m going to Canada.
1766
00:51:36,239 –> 00:51:37,039
Exactly.
1767
00:51:37,759 –> 00:51:38,999
But that’s not,
1768
00:51:38,999 –> 00:51:42,799
you can never have a full marriage if you’ve got an
1769
00:51:42,799 –> 00:51:44,159
escape route right there.
1770
00:51:44,399 –> 00:51:45,999
Like if your other younger,
1771
00:51:45,999 –> 00:51:48,239
hotter, less bitchy wife lives right next door,
1772
00:51:48,559 –> 00:51:52,559
you’re never going to reach a real understanding with
1773
00:51:52,559 –> 00:51:54,639
your older bitchier wife because you don’t have to.
1774
00:51:55,199 –> 00:51:55,519
Thank you,
1775
00:51:55,519 –> 00:51:56,319
Joseph Smith.
1776
00:51:59,519 –> 00:51:59,959
Well, look,
1777
00:51:59,959 –> 00:52:01,599
man, I’ll let you go because I told you producers
1778
00:52:01,599 –> 00:52:01,839
I will.
1779
00:52:01,919 –> 00:52:02,639
You look great,
1780
00:52:02,639 –> 00:52:03,439
you sound great,
1781
00:52:03,519 –> 00:52:04,239
and you know,
1782
00:52:04,479 –> 00:52:06,599
you want to pick,
1783
00:52:06,639 –> 00:52:08,559
you want to pick your nicotine pouches?
1784
00:52:09,679 –> 00:52:11,439
Oh, you mean the life-affirming,
1785
00:52:11,439 –> 00:52:12,559
life-enhancing out?
1786
00:52:12,879 –> 00:52:14,319
Yeah, one of those getting in stores,
1787
00:52:14,319 –> 00:52:14,719
man.
1788
00:52:14,719 –> 00:52:17,799
I’m not looking to well the internet.
1789
00:52:19,239 –> 00:52:22,079
Yeah, unfortunately we sold too many of them,
1790
00:52:22,279 –> 00:52:23,439
but they’ll be in stores soon.
1791
00:52:25,119 –> 00:52:28,319
But we sold so many of them that production couldn’t
1792
00:52:28,319 –> 00:52:29,519
keep up, just being honest.
1793
00:52:29,519 –> 00:52:33,679
So we are onshoring it to the United States.
1794
00:52:33,679 –> 00:52:35,439
We bought 7 new production lines.
1795
00:52:35,999 –> 00:52:37,759
I think the first one gets up in like a week.
1796
00:52:38,959 –> 00:52:40,519
So a lot of these products are made abroad.
1797
00:52:40,519 –> 00:52:41,519
This was before the tariffs,
1798
00:52:41,519 –> 00:52:41,999
by the way.
1799
00:52:42,479 –> 00:52:44,319
Just like we’ve got to make this in the United States.
1800
00:52:44,879 –> 00:52:45,519
So we are.
1801
00:52:45,519 –> 00:52:46,199
So, you know,
1802
00:52:46,199 –> 00:52:47,079
in the next few months,
1803
00:52:47,079 –> 00:52:47,759
it’ll be everywhere,
1804
00:52:47,759 –> 00:52:48,159
I think.
1805
00:52:48,199 –> 00:52:50,039
But you can get it online and it’s out.
1806
00:52:50,079 –> 00:52:52,079
It’s, this is 9 milligram.
1807
00:52:53,159 –> 00:52:54,719
And for those of us who love nicotine,
1808
00:52:54,719 –> 00:52:55,679
I mean, it’s just,
1809
00:52:55,839 –> 00:52:57,119
I would never go back to six.
1810
00:52:57,679 –> 00:52:58,599
Dude, not like,
1811
00:52:58,599 –> 00:52:59,599
what is a cigarette?
1812
00:52:59,599 –> 00:53:02,159
That’s like 1/2 of 1 milligram.
1813
00:53:02,159 –> 00:53:02,959
Is that about right?
1814
00:53:03,239 –> 00:53:05,439
A cigarette is delicious.
1815
00:53:06,079 –> 00:53:07,839
Yeah, but like how much nicotine’s in it?
1816
00:53:09,239 –> 00:53:09,639
I don’t know,
1817
00:53:09,639 –> 00:53:10,319
never enough.
1818
00:53:10,319 –> 00:53:11,119
I could never,
1819
00:53:11,199 –> 00:53:13,919
I smoked most of my life and I could never smoke enough
1820
00:53:13,999 –> 00:53:14,559
cigarettes.
1821
00:53:14,559 –> 00:53:15,119
It was funny.
1822
00:53:15,759 –> 00:53:18,039
In fact, the only cigarette I ever found that kind
1823
00:53:18,039 –> 00:53:19,759
of, I smoked camels most of my life,
1824
00:53:19,759 –> 00:53:20,199
regulars,
1825
00:53:20,199 –> 00:53:20,799
the short ones,
1826
00:53:20,959 –> 00:53:21,919
delicious cigarette.
1827
00:53:22,239 –> 00:53:23,599
But even those weren’t enough for me.
1828
00:53:23,599 –> 00:53:24,319
And in the end,
1829
00:53:24,319 –> 00:53:28,079
it was the American spirit blue with no filter,
1830
00:53:28,239 –> 00:53:29,359
just break the filter off,
1831
00:53:29,839 –> 00:53:32,319
I felt was the only cigarette I ever smoked that really
1832
00:53:32,319 –> 00:53:32,999
satisfied,
1833
00:53:32,999 –> 00:53:34,599
like you have a meal and then you smoke one of those
1834
00:53:34,599 –> 00:53:34,959
and you’re like,
1835
00:53:35,119 –> 00:53:37,319
oh, that just scratched the itch.
1836
00:53:37,359 –> 00:53:38,239
Like I feel better.
1837
00:53:39,519 –> 00:53:40,399
So those nines,
1838
00:53:41,279 –> 00:53:44,239
those nines are like putting 9 cigarettes in you at
1839
00:53:44,239 –> 00:53:44,519
once.
1840
00:53:44,519 –> 00:53:47,999
No, they’re like 9 levels.
1841
00:53:47,999 –> 00:53:49,919
It’s like happiness 9X.
1842
00:53:50,079 –> 00:53:50,799
I guess that’s the way.
1843
00:53:51,079 –> 00:53:52,159
Oh, happiness 9X.
1844
00:53:52,159 –> 00:53:53,279
Very scientific,
1845
00:53:53,359 –> 00:53:53,519
man.
1846
00:53:55,319 –> 00:53:55,759
I’m Mr.
1847
00:53:55,759 –> 00:53:57,279
Science, Charlie.
1848
00:53:57,279 –> 00:53:57,559
Mr.
1849
00:53:57,559 –> 00:53:58,239
Science, Mr.
1850
00:53:58,239 –> 00:53:59,039
Economics.
1851
00:53:59,439 –> 00:53:59,759
Mr.
1852
00:53:59,759 –> 00:54:00,639
Tucker Carlson.
1853
00:54:00,799 –> 00:54:01,359
Thanks so much,
1854
00:54:01,359 –> 00:54:01,679
brother.
1855
00:54:02,399 –> 00:54:02,999
You’re the best.
1856
00:54:03,079 –> 00:54:03,359
Thank you,
1857
00:54:03,359 –> 00:54:03,719
Charlie.
1858
00:54:03,719 –> 00:54:04,759
See you, man.
