>> Roy Likenstein.
>> Who's that?
>> He's the
>> Do you know who it is?
>> Yeah.
>> You know the pictures. Pull up Drowning
Girl. Jamie, pull it up. I get to say
it. This guy
>> He's a comic book artist.
>> No, he's a
>> pop artist. He drew comic books into
paintings in the 60s.
>> You've seen his stuff.
>> Oh, I'm sure. Yeah, I have now.
>> I've seen them in memes.
>> Exactly.
>> Like like a man backhanding a woman.
>> No,
>> no, that's not the meme.
>> No,
>> no,
>> no. Well, he's stepping on her hand
right there.
>> That's That's his It's a guy's hand.
>> Oh, it's a guy's hand. Cop, I think.
>> Feminine man.
>> Oh, Jeff. I love you, too. But okay. The
dots. I get it.
>> This was a lot of Yeah. What I wanted to
do, which I couldn't do, I wanted to do
an uncanny valley look.
>> And look like a mannequin with like
lifeless eyes and and like kind of like
Lex, right? But that was a lot of money.
>> Like CGI from 10 years ago.
>> Yes. Or like Yeah. So, I just went with
this.
>> Okay. I was on I was on
No, no, no, no. This is I I was on
Jordan's show last January 6th and I had
the QAnon shaman paint my face with his
look and I had a Russian fur hat and I
had the boots and everything and Jordan
Peterson had to sit and talk to me for
three hours looking like a complete
mental patient. And you you're going to
forget in a couple minutes, you know,
when someone's looking like this. But
for anyone tuning in, it's just like and
especially the clips go wide,
>> it it's a lot of fun.
>> Oh, I know. I've done dozens of podcasts
with Duncan where like clowns and
>> fries. Why are they dressed like
astronauts?
>> Yeah. I think the internet it's it's
going in a
>> Yeah. Wait, isn't it saying like the
face of evil? There's one that's Yeah.
The psychology of pure evil. Michael
Malice.
>> Uh, how is Jordan doing? Is he okay? I
think he's doing better. I just talked
to Michaela a couple of days ago. Um I
think he's out of the woods. I don't
know how much I'm allowed to say. Uh or
what's my
>> What happened to him?
>> I don't really know. Um I think you'd
have to talk to her. This is really
something I don't uh I don't know what
I'm supposed to
>> He just keeps going through this series
of ongoing health crisises.
>> Yeah. And it's very What's what bothers
me a lot is how much glee people seem to
have with this. And and I think uh it's
like I was just saying a second ago, I
think the internet's going in a dark
place. And
>> people people are going in a dark place.
The internet's leading them there, but
it's people.
>> Well, I think it's like a snake eating
its own tail. Don't you think? I think
and and when AI starts validating, you
know, your preconceptions. I'm I I am
very scared about the near future.
>> I'm very scared, too, because so many
people are so easily led and so prone to
whatever the ideology is at the moment,
just full full scale adopting it. I was
on Gutfeld a couple months ago and they
were talking about how Sam Alman said
chat GPT is going to have erotica now
and everyone's like well what's erotica
they're making jokes and I go listen I
said not that long ago um John Hinckley
shot in 1981 he shot President Reagan
because he thought Jodie Foster was
going to fall in love with him you know
thereby turning her away from men
forever right and I said what happens
when Chad GPT you really hate Trump but
you really hate Joe Rogan or you really
hate Fouchy or Kla Harris and your AI
friend is jinninging you up being like,
"Yeah, they're terrible. Do
>> like there's 350 million people. You're
saying out of those 350 aren't going to
try to do something,
>> right? I mean, they've already had Chad
GPT talk people into killing
themselves."
>> I know. I know. And that's
>> whether it's Chad GPT or whatever AI
language model.
>> Yeah, I am. And I don't see any breaks
on this and it's happening I think
faster than we can. You know, the whole
point of the paleo diet, not the whole
point, but a large part of the paleo
lifestyle is, you know, our biology has
not kept up with our technology, right?
And that kind of makes sense in a food
thing. Push comes to shove, processed
food, you should avoid whole food,
natural food is probably better for you.
That's just a good uristic for anyone.
But when you're talking about the mind,
you know, I people argue are human
beings basically good, human beings
basically bad. And I think human beings
are basically animals and animals can be
enormously collaborative and wonderful
and work together even across species.
You see these videos of like a you know
a dog saving a cow or whatever it is.
>> But animals are also I don't need to
tell you you know there's that chimp in
all of us.
>> Yeah.
>> And when that mob starts fmenting like
people want blood and and they love it.
>> Yeah. You also get all this powerful
reinforcement from other people in the
group that tell you that you're doing
the right thing and they support you and
>> and and if you the thing with the
Epstein stuff online is just really kind
of like I remember five minutes ago
right for the for the the blue pill
people on CO if you don't care about
COVID as much as I do and if you aren't
informed as CO as much as I am you want
to kill grandma right like that's you're
told this explicitly
>> your kids should be taken away from you
should be banned from society,
>> right? And and my buddy Lup Perez, who's
a great comic, he had a great tweet. He
goes, "If you don't have COVID, you
can't spread COVID. I can't give it to
you just because I'm a bad person."
Right? But that was the mindset. And now
there's so much. There's what 300 3
million Epstein docs. If you are not as
invested as some people, you are a kid
toucher. You're covering for them. You
want this to happen. You're complicit
retroactly somehow.
>> Yeah.
>> And I can't make heads or tails of it. I
had Lucowski on my show who's been a
conspiracy, I'm not saying the negative
way, conspiracy guy for a very long
time. He's worked with Alex. He broke it
down. Then I had Michael Tracy on my
show and he said, "Look, a lot of this
hysteria. I don't know who is right, who
is wrong, but if I have any kind of
skepticism, I am somehow wanting
children to be abused. It's it's
insane."
>> Well, it's also it's like so much of it
is cryptic. Like we don't necessarily
understand what they were talking about,
>> right? And if you say like, "What's beef
jerky?" If it's, here's the thing, it's
obviously kids. It's not just that it
might be kids or probably. It's obvious.
And if you're denying that jerky is
obviously kids, you're denying that
people are children. I'm not denying
people children. I'm just saying, "What
if it's heroin? What if it's weapon?" I
don't I haven't read all those emails,
but the idea that it's definitely
literally infants, it seems like I want
to see some receipts.
>> Yeah, it could be many things. I mean it
it certainly is a code which right
indicates at least to me that they were
doing something they didn't want people
to know about.
>> And I remember with the Pizzagate stuff
I talked about this in my book and
you're right I had to get through this
through the legal cuz there was an email
where it's like oh the the maps or the
flags are really angry today. So they're
obviously not talking about maps or
flags. It was obviously about something.
We don't know what. But to pretend that
there was nothing there is also
disingenuous. They're it's clearly code.
But how do we know eating is not code?
Also, like eating jerky could be like
beating off, right? Or it could be
killing someone.
>> But the idea that No, the eating part is
true. The jerky part is kids.
>> I I I And frankly, what bothers me is
don't you want to hope that they're not
eating kids?
>> Yeah. Well, it's like people just want
to know and if they already were and
have been doing it for a long time that
seemed outrageous before a gigantic ring
was exposed where there really was a sex
trafficker who was compromising people
and really was doing it at the behest of
at least an intelligence agency whether
it's ours or the Israelis or whoever it
is
>> or the Russians.
>> A lot of people want to say it's the
Russians. Is there any validity to the
Russians?
>> I have no idea. The reason I said the
Russians is because I was on Drudge and
the headline was Epstein was Russian
operative. So it was presented on
Drudge. Don't take my word for it as oh
there's the receipts. This is why I'm
saying there's there there's MSAD
connections with him obviously,
especially through Gelain. CIA is a
no-brainer because why didn't they bag
this guy for years, right? I'm I talked
to Kurt Netzer about this and uh broadly
speaking and he makes the point like
these are all interconnected. this idea
that we're going to separate out like
the CIA from MI6 is they're buddies with
each other and and frankly that's in
many cases a good thing. You want to be
working with other countries if you have
international trafficking or or
terrorism or crimes but I don't know we
don't I I can't even finish the
sentence.
>> Right. Right. No, that's but you're
honest. That's why. Now the Russian
thing, is there anything that makes
sense to you to that? What did new
documents show Justice Department
documents mentioned Russia thousands of
times and Vladimir Putin over a a
thousand times reflecting extensive
Russia related communications and
contacts in Epstein's network. Emails,
travel records indicate, okay, so
there's real something to it.
>> Epste made multiple trips to Russia,
obtained business visas, had scouts
there recruiting young Russian women for
him. Of course, similar to his
operations elsewhere, the files describe
Epstein cultivating ties with Russian
political and business elites, acting as
a facilitator in deals and
introductions, not just sexual
encounters. Epstein repeatedly sought a
meeting or back channel communications
with President Vladimir Putin, at times
suggesting he had advice or insight to
offer about dealing with Donald Trump.
He had documented ties to at least one
former Russian official with a
background in the FSB
whom he used to gather information on a
woman he claimed was trying to extort
his business partners.
>> Well, for sure you're going to have
that. You got a bunch of Russian hookers
that you're bringing over there. Some of
them are going to try to explog.
The KGB for decades, for like almost a
century, was blackmailing Americans.
This is one of the big reasons why you
couldn't be uh there were restrictions
against gays because if you were gay at
a time when it was socially unacceptable
and the Russians found out about it,
they flipped you cuz they would sit you
down and they'd be like, "Look, we know
we're going to out you or you're going
to play ball." And in those situations,
you're going to play ball. This is a
huge scandal for a long time.
>> And that's a big There's a lot there's a
large percentage I don't know what the
population is of these undercover gay
politicians.
>> Oh. Oh, yeah. How many politicians? I
mean the bureaucrats like people working
for Johnson and and FDR this was a thing
and they would know
>> and they would they would they would
have honeypotss.
>> Mhm.
>> It wouldn't be hard at that time,
>> right? And for men, it's so easy to get
us.
>> Like God, it must be hard to get women.
Yeah. How would you blackmail a woman? I
mean, well, how do you trick them into
some guy they shouldn't be
And why would anybody care?
See, no one cares. Like if a woman has
an affair on her husband and has sex
with some hot guy on an island,
everybody's like, "You go, girl." Yeah,
Stella got her groove back.
>> Yeah, Stella got her groove back.
>> How would you How would you Yeah. How
would if I wanted Okay, let's let's
let's walk through this. If there's a
CIA lady and I want to flip her, right?
>> How do I
>> You got to get her to fall in love with
you.
>> No. Or you got to get her husband to
cheat
>> or go threaten her kids. You got to
threaten her kids. Threaten the kids.
But that's a hard one.
>> But that's a different thing than
getting her to do something that she
shouldn't have done out of lust.
>> How do you black Yeah. How do you
blackmail a woman?
>> Yeah. You don't don't have a That's
probably why a lot of women aren't in
trouble.
>> What? Why? They are in trouble.
>> Aren't.
>> Yeah, they aren't. Yeah.
>> Right. Because like I would imagine you
would want them too. There's plenty of
women politicians you'd want to
compromise. I mean, they did get Stacy
Plask. She was cooperating with Epstein
going back and forth during Trump's
administration.
>> Did you see also Kristen Cinema that
lawsuit?
>> Oh, no, no, no. I didn't see.
>> So, she was the senator from Arizona.
She was a centrist and of course they
ran her out of town
>> and she uh broke up a marriage basically
and in North or South Carolina where
she's being sued, you can be liable for
damages if you're like the side piece.
>> Oh, I've seen that.
>> And in the lawsuit, it's
>> that's a crazy law.
>> I know.
>> That's a ass law.
>> And you're suing a senator. And the
thing and I believe the the filing
completely because the filing said he
had PTSD so she was offering to give him
psychedelics to to help him heal which
I'm sure she did.
>> Uh and basically they just start a
relationship. He left the wife and it's
like this is unfortunate but it happens
but she's facing damages now.
>> That's so wild that that's a law. Yeah.
>> Like what if the person was on the way
out anyway?
>> Well, that's his argument. I'm sure.
>> Yeah. I'm sure.
>> No, but the case Oh, no. We were a
loving couple. We never had any
problems. Then cinema shows up and now
look at me. But
>> how is that not the man's fault?
>> I don't I don't I think it's probably
both.
>> Well, I know. Is No, he's she's suing
Cinema. She's not suing the guy, I don't
think.
>> That's so crazy.
>> Yeah.
>> What a stupid law. What? I don't
know. North or South Carolina.
>> H there's some of them old school laws
that are so dumb. How is that a law that
people have to be together? Like people
change their minds on people all the
time. They don't want to be with someone
anymore. You meet someone you really
like and you go, I don't I can't imagine
living the rest of my life without this
person and I've been trapped in this
horrible marriage. I'm out. And
then that person gets sued. She had some
other funny thing about like No, the guy
texted her like I think it was the
military and she writes back only the
hot ones. It So there's like So she got
all the texts out of his phone.
>> That's funny.
>> It's funny. It's a joke, right? But I
also it's it's like I think it's when
the feminists talk about the kind of
misogyny here. I think there is a bit of
misogyny that you're blaming the woman
and you're not blaming the guy.
>> Oh yeah. For that like the suit the
lawsuit. That's crazy. That is such a
ass lawsuit. North Carolina is one
of a handful of states that allow jilted
spouses sue for alienation of affection
to seek damages from a third party
responsible for the breakup of their
marriage. You should only be able to pay
them in tissues.
You should pay them in just crates and
crates of tissues. Oh, you get $500,000
worth of tissues.
>> It's I I
>> just bring up semis filled with
tissues.
>> I just think it's so it's so um
salacious and we shouldn't need to know
this.
>> Well, even if we do know it, the law
itself is preposterous.
>> Alienation of affection. Well, how
people decide they don't like people all
the time. That's why divorce exists.
>> Yes. And one of the reasons divorce
exists because people find someone they
like more and they go, "Oh, I up.
I have to get out of this marriage. I'm
in love with this other person."
>> And you don't always have to get
divorced. There's plenty of marriages
that survive like this.
>> Yeah, that's true, too.
>> So I What's the counter that you,
you're a Like he doesn't like you
anymore.
>> But the lawsuit thing is currently you
can get money for that. Kristen Cinema
has to pay this lady money cuz she I
think it's I think she's suing for a
lot.
>> How much
>> do you know what the damages are, Jamie?
Well, you go high just to settle.
>> Yeah, but the fact that the there's no
se I don't know what the ceiling is. I'm
not an North Carolina attorney, but it's
not cheap.
>> It's like I think the ho the side piece
is Oh, the She's not a hoe. She's
basically paying the wife alimony.
>> Oh my god. It's real money.
>> Yeah, it's no joke. Does it say
>> who would
>> $75,000 in damages?
>> That's it.
>> Yeah. Also, uh
>> she gave $9,000 to a man she's accused
of. Well, if it's 75 grand, she would
have paid it to shut her up.
>> Maybe she just doesn't want to out of
principle.
>> I Let me see.
>> It's got to be more than 75 grand.
There's no way you're a senator. You're
just going to
>> Maybe this is
>> Maybe because most people have the
reaction that we're having.
>> Like no one's outraged. No one's angry.
I yeah I think the response is that
>> oh that's
>> yeah she's alienation of affection
nicknamed the home wrecker law and is
seeking $75,000 in damages per her
lawyers. She argued that a complaintant
uh in a complaint that Cinema engaged in
numerous unlawful acts with her
ex-husband, including but not limited to
having conversations with him, that's
unlawful,
meeting him under emotionally and
physically, romantic, and sexual
circumstances,
having sexual encounters with him, and
encouraging him to leave his wife. They
she took him to some concert together. I
think it was like like
>> they said they went to a bunch of
concert.
>> They went to Copa. I think it was it was
like date night green day, a bunch of
stuff.
>> Yeah. Well, is that a physically
romantic and sexual encounter? Is that
what that is?
>> Well, I think it's romantic. Take a
>> Put that back up, please.
>> I was going to those concerts.
>> I mean, the lawsuit alleges that in the
fall of 2023, when Cinema's then head of
security resigned, the head disclosed to
Matthew AL concerns that Cinema was
having sexual relation, what a ass
security guard. Uh, sexual relations
with other security members. The
security head urged Matthew Amill to
leave, but Am refused. side of the job's
financial.
>> I love the idea like you don't want this
gig, she she'll you.
>> She's her security guard.
>> Yeah, more power to her.
>> She's a wild
>> While on the job, Matthew Amill had at
one point informed his ex-wife,
according to her complaint, that should
he and Cinema be together on a work trip
to Napa Valley, California, it would
have appeared as if they were on a
romantic getaway. Huh.
Uh 2024, Heather Aml discovered that
Cinema frequently messaged her
ex-husband on Signal, which included a
picture of the former senator wrapped in
a towel and a suggestion that he bring
MDMA. Yeah, let's go Kristen. The drug
commonly known as Molly or Ecstasy to a
rope work trip so that Cinema could
guide him through a psychedelic
experience. Wink wink. In March of 2024,
Matthew Emil informed his then ex his
then wife that while he was serving as
cinema security at an event the former
senator was having getting handsy and
that she held his hand and touched him.
According to the complaint, Matthew Am
expressed that he didn't know how to get
out of the situation without offending
cinema.
>> She was also the first bisexual member
of the Senate ever.
>> What a good kid.
>> So, you know she's a freak.
>> What a good kid. Molly towels pictures.
She's got my vote.
>> I'm I'm vote for again. She should run
for president.
>> She cinema for president.
>> Let's go, Cinema. Come on. She's a
centrist. That's what America needs. You
want a women president?
>> Let's go. Let's get a freak in the
office.
>> Uh we have a freak in the office.
>> He struggled to admit the a to the
affair, the complaint says, but
expressed that he wanted a divorce.
>> Oh, he struggled to admit to the affair,
but expressed that he wanted a divorce.
After a November work trip, Heather and
Matthew Amill separated. Her complaint
alleges that her ex-husband and Cinema
remain romantically involved. Cinema and
Matthew Amill both appeared at a forum
in October. Um, are they still together?
>> I don't.
>> Those don't last.
>> It's only six states.
>> Chicks get bored once they win. Once
they win and they get you, I'm like,
who's next?
>> Who the hell knows what's
bored? This episode is brought to you by

>> She the the security guard said
explicitly. She's boning all the
security guards. It's like it's like you
know she's going through that.
>> She's a freak.
>> Yeah. More power to her.
>> Yeah. Like look, we uh we don't have any
problem with men that do that.
>> I think we do.
>> Well, we do now.
>> Some people do. I don't.
>> There's two types of people that want to
be leaders.
>> War mongers and hounds. I prefer
the hounds. Don't leave your wife
alone with them. But I prefer them
because at least they're just trying to
get sex. They're not trying to blow up
the world and conquer and like they want
to be Genghask Khan. Well, actually,
>> is it your position that Lindsy Gro is
not a hound? Is that
>> It is my position that Lindsey Graham is
allergic to
>> Yeah. Wait, are they
>> They asked him if you know he was going
to run for president. You know, he's
single. Yeah, but he's single. Yeah. And
uh you know what about a first lady?
He's like, "Maybe I'll have a bunch of
first ladies."
>> Oh my. Did he say that?
>> He said something along those lines.
>> I remember.
>> Which is never something a man would say
who's into women.
>> Barbara Mckowski, uh, who was this
senator from Maryland for many years,
who was like 411 hobbit creature,
clearly gay, more, no disrespect to her,
she was asked about it and she turns to
the guy next to her, is like, "Hey,
good-looking." It was something like
that. It was so cringe and awkward.
Yeah. So, what did Lindsey Graham say
about uh having many first ladies?
>> Oh my god.
>> Said have it he mentioned his sister as
someone who could fill in for the role.
It says,
>> "Oh, okay.
>> He would have a ro quote rotating first
lady
>> because like what Dolly Madison did that
like there was one of the first early
founding fathers was a widowerower. So
the daughter
>> his sister first and then rotating first
lady." What year was this when he was
running?
>> 2015.
>> Yeah. Hey,
>> do you remember the thing I remember
about his campaign is Trump had a rally
and he gave out Lindsey Graham's phone
number, right? He did. Oh, you don't
remember this? So, this is the best
part. No, no, this this is so insane.
So, Trump is like, cuz Lindsay would
call him for campaign donations and and
Trump's like, "If you guys don't agree,
let's give him a call." He holds up the
page, goes, "Uh, 345 blah blah blah."
And Lindsay, yeah,
look at that face. Look at HIS FACE.
WHAT? WHAT IS THIS WORLD we're living
in?
>> No, no, no. But hold on, it gets even
better. So Lindsay, like, how do I
reclaim the narrative? Lindsay filmed a
video of him taking his phone and
breaking with the hammer. And I'm like,
but you still have the same number. You
just broke your own phone. You're not
trolling Trump at all. It's like, if I
>> You just broke a device. You could have
gone to Verizon and had your number
switched. You my license plate and
I wrecked my own car. I'm not trolling
you. I'm trolling me. I'm like, does no
one realize this? Doesn't make any
sense. It was so crazy.
>> Everyone's so performative.
>> Is there someone who's a wararmonger?
Well, Bill Putin's a hand.
>> Is he though?
>> I Yeah. Did you not
>> He's more of a wararmonger,
>> but he's both. Did you not see Topless
Girls?
>> Oh, really?
>> There he was.
>> Here he goes. He's throwing it in the
blender.
>> Oh my gosh.
>> He's hitting it with a hammer, a golf
ball. Oh, lightning on fire.
>> Oh, let me see that swing.
>> Let me see that bad show. He put Red
Bull in with the phone. What's that
about?
>> I think it's gas lighter fluid. No,
>> he didn't even get to
>> Oh, it is Red Bull. Why is it Red Bull?
>> He hit it with a golf swing. He lit it
on fire. Like, this is so cringe.
>> But it doesn't make any sense.
>> Put it in a
>> bagel oven.
Is that pizza bagels?
>> Oh my god. What's wrong with this dude?
>> But your number's the same.
>> What a silly That's back in the
old footphone days, too.
>> Yeah. 2015.
Wow. He was still rocking a flip phone
back then. No iPhone.
>> People are rocking them now again
because of uh surveillance things. My
friend Dave has one.
>> Does a flip phone help you?
>> I think so.
>> How so?
>> I don't know. I'd have to ask Dave.
>> You can still get all those textbooks.
>> I think the Oh, cuz the people No, I
think you're spending less time on the
internet.
>> That's true. Yeah, but you could also
just spend less time on the internet.
>> Yes, that is also an option. I think
that's a healthy option. I think
>> you could do it. Do you know what I
here? I want to hear your thoughts on
this.
>> So during co there was a huge
uh amount of time that everyone's
spending online. Everyone's obsessing
about co we're all everyone's constantly
agitated
>> and my concern is
>> that these social med Mark Zuckerberg's
job is to keep you on Facebook as much
as possible, right?
>> All that data that they had during co is
still there, right? And I think all
these social media companies are still
keeping us in a constant state of
agitation. So you're stuck watching
these screens and it's really doing harm
and it's not getting better.
>> That's a fact.
>> Okay. Yeah.
>> Yeah, that's a fact. Well, isn't he
testifying? They're they're testifying
soon uh about whether or not they set up
their algorithms to harm children. They
set up their al algorithms to addict
children to uh their social media
platforms.
>> Well, you remember Elsagate?
>> Elsagate? Yeah.
>> Yeah. That was the whole thing.
>> Yeah. Explain that to people.
>> Well, Elsagate was this I I still don't
think we have an answer. People made
these They don't even know where it came
from up in overseas. There are these
bizarre YouTube videos with millions of
views where it would be like the Hulk
but he's like sniffing kids feet and
Elsa's just doing like putting in a cage
like bizarre things that is kind of
sexual but not really and you don't know
what the purpose is but because they
were like gaming the algorithm you know
YouTube this Trump got in trouble with
this when Trump was sharing that video
the very end of it went to a Lion King
video making fun of the Democrats.
There's that one of the as apes from the
beginning. They cut there and it looked
like he was sharing that. It was just
the next video that was queued up and it
looks like Trump shar video of the
Obamas as apes on purpose.
>> Well, they were all in it in the same
video, but it was like Hillary was a
wartthog. Obama or Biden was also an ape
and he was eating a banana.
>> Pritsker was the king and and Trump came
out as a lion,
>> right? But the point is I think what he
posted he posted only the first second.
>> I don't think he posted it.
>> Yes, he did. is I thought it was an
intern.
>> Well, the point I mean it's from his
account.
>> Well, someone reposted it, right? Right.
That's what it was.
>> No, he reposted somebody else.
>> I think his his is
>> intern. But the point is anyway with
Elsagate, kids start watching one video
and the algorithm just snags them and 1
hour later they're watching completely
deranged stuff. The Elsagate thing was
weird too because a lot of it was like
old cartoons and uh what people were
saying is that if your child like say if
you give your child an an iPad and it
goes from one YouTube video to the next
and then show suggest those got lumped
in there and you would click on it and
it was all a sudden like
>> someone would get a bottle broken over
their head. There'd be blood everywhere.
It was really weird,
>> right? And it's
>> and it's like a Mickey Mouse cartoon
>> and there was no utility to this.
>> Are those still available? I'm looking
at the Wikipedia says it's kind of it's
continued but it's switched from like
the it's whatever's popular at the time
for kids. So back then it was Frozen or
whatever and now it's like Minecraft.
>> What are they doing though? Like why why
are they sense
>> like what why would they have these
cartoon characters get hit over the head
with bottles and cuz you remember that
one like a lot of them they would get
drunk and fall and break their head on a
countertop or something
>> or they'd be covered I think this was
another one they were covered in dots
for no reason. I'm like I'm not even
kidding. It was just like, "What is
going on?" Or they're eating weird
stuff.
>> So, does YouTube remove those videos?
Because there's plenty of violent videos
on YouTube. Like, is it because they're
Or do do they put like an age
restriction on them?
>> I don't think they did because what's
the age restriction? There's nothing
sexual. There's nothing
>> Well, violence.
>> But some of them were just weird.
>> Yeah. Some of them were just
>> like lots of shots of feet.
>> Was And there was all There was a lot of
ones where kids got left alone with
creeps. Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> Cartoons.
>> Very strange.
>> There's also live action stuff.
>> Oh, really?
>> Yes. And it's just like who are these
people filming this? And for what? I saw
another one. There was this channel
which has millions of views for each
video. And it's things like turtles
vomiting up fish like dead fish like
live action or dead fish coming from the
ground as if it's it's I I don't
understand what the point of this is. Do
you remember um during Benghazi they
tried to blame the attack
>> on this video?
>> Oh my god.
>> You remember that?
>> Of course.
>> That was the the propaganda was that
there was some video that no one had
seen,
>> right?
>> Like some terrible video.
>> Some really that got everyone all riled
up, right?
>> Yeah. That got the Muslims riled up and
that's why they attacked.
>> And there was also Well, she was also
blaming the 2016 election on ads on the
dark web. It's like how many people on
the dark web? Do you even know what it
is? What are you talking about?
>> Ads on the dark web flip the election.
That's hilarious.
>> That's insane.
>> 50 incelss,
>> right?
>> In a chat room. Like, but that's that
was she says this all the time, Hillary,
to this day.
>> Well, she just says it, you know, like
she doesn't have to be credible anymore.
It's like we just assume we just know
that that kind of communic like if
you're having a one-on-one conversation
with her just privately and she started
talking like that, you'd be like, "What
are you talking about? This doesn't make
any sense. Do you really believe that
when
>> she got clowned in Europe this week?
>> I did with the Czechoslovakian guy.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> It was funny.
>> It was very funny.
>> But the way she was interrupting too,
you you want women to have their rights
taken away. Like what? That's not what
he's saying. He's literally talking
about all this crazy these gender
transitions and people were really like
they'd had enough with the immigration.
People had had enough. You don't you're
pretending that's not real. Like this
way forward. Like if the Democrats want
to have a way forward where they connect
with people, you got to admit that
there's some reason why people were
responding the way they did to a
open border to men playing in women's
sports to all this G gender
transitions of children. Like people
were freaked out. And not just
Republicans. A lot of people.
>> Yeah. Karen's a swing voter. Karen
doesn't like this kind of stuff.
>> Yeah.
>> Uh I don't know if you saw Did you see
Nancy Pelosy's retirement video?
>> No. Well, you laugh, but you Nancy
Pelosi is probably the smartest
politician in Washington in terms of
being crafty. Like, she knows how to
get a bill passed. She knows how
to make people walk the plank. So, she's
retiring from Congress this year. She
had this 10-minute long video about, you
know, saying goodbye to San Francisco.
10 minutes. She talks about AIDS at
length, right? Uh because obviously it
affected San Francisco. Doesn't mention
the word gay once, even in the context
of AIDS. Doesn't mention LGBT. Doesn't
mention black people, people of color.
She mentions how much she loves going to
church. St. Thomas of Aisi and Veterans
Day. So I'm like, she knows what you're
saying. You got to pivot and start
talking to people about pocketbook
stuff. But then Gavin Newsome recently d
undid his, you know, he backtracked with
Charlie Kirk when he's just like, yeah,
I know about about uh men and women's
sports and now he's doubling down on
trans kids, which is
>> Is he really?
>> Oh yeah, he just started doubling down.
>> God, how does he think that that's going
to work now?
>> I think he thinks he's got to get
through that primary,
>> right? But do you does he not know that
people are done?
>> No, cuz I'm sure he has better polling
than you or I. And I'm sure
>> maybe I'm just naive about California.
>> Well, it's not California. It's the
Democratic base who's going to vote for
him.
>> You know, he's also killed his mom.
>> What?
>> Yeah, he's he did a sister and his mom.
He bragged about it to the Washington
Post.
>> You didn't know this?
>> No. What was wrong with his mom, though?
I I'm sure it was something awful, but
when I have when I have a hear a
politician talking about something that
personal that publicly, I am not going
to look at it through a positive vein.
And this made stuff is in 14 states now.
Do you know this?
>> Yeah. Well, in Canada, it's off the
hook.
>> You know, Kelsey Sharon, I've been
talking to her about this. She
completely blew my mind. So, first it
used to be because it's always a um Oh,
yeah. 55
long battle with breast cancer, deeply
personal event. and he is described as a
complex experience involving assisted
suicide. The Washington report
Washington Post report and his memoir
expressed deep grief and remorse
regarding her death.
>> Remorse is a very dark word in this
context.
>> He was 34 and a San Francisco supervisor
at the time.
Yeah. But maybe it was his mom's
decision and he helped her. Look, if
you're dying of terminal cancer and your
body's rotting out, I feel like just
like you put a dog down, like there
there's times where I think assisted
suicide is probably a good option if
there's no hope and you're just going to
be in agony for months.
>> And there's times where people have
gender dysphoria and it's a good thing,
>> right? That was different.
>> Hold on. It's not My point is people
like Blair White, Brianna Woo, you know,
they have gender dysphoria. It's
perfectly appropriate to call them. they
they you know it's otherwise very
disturbing. Five minutes later, once it
becomes a political issue, it's anyone
who just puts on a dress. Right?
>> So, the point that's that Kelsey has
been going on with Canada is now they're
going after people who are depressed.
They're going at people who are
disabled. They're going after kids. And
the darkest thing that's happening over
there, which they're importing here, is
the old people are extremely expensive
for the system, right? If you have
socialized health care, I don't know
what the number is, a huge number.
Towards the end of your life, you're
racking up those bills. So there's a
huge incentive for that government to
get you off of their ledger. So now
they're having this movement where let's
all get together and have grand we're
all going to go kill grandma. Five
minutes ago if you don't if you don't
wear the co mask you want to kill
grandma you're a bad person. Now if you
don't want to kill grandma you're a bad
person. You don't want to end this way.
You were such a strong person. Die with
dignity. Blah blah blah. It's not always
terminal stuff. And in Europe, they're
having it with teenagers who are
depressed.
>> It's and you know perfectly well,
everyone listening to this knows it's
not a slippery slope. It's an elevator
shaft.
>> Is this
>> This is the back door.
>> Is that financial incentive?
>> It's a huge financial incentive. Think
about it. If you're old and you're
$1,000 a day and the government's paying
it, if I get rid of you, look how much
I'm saving,
>> right? And
>> and you're Oh, you don't want to be a
burden to your family.
>> What? You don't want to have them
sitting by your bedside. Come on.
It's happening here.
>> New York just passed it. It's 14 states.
It's being and no one's passed it.
>> New York just passed it.
>> Oh, you see Mandami is like he's trying
to figure out a way to use his budget.
His budget is higher than the entire
budget of the state of Florida, which
has three times more people.
>> No, it's not. Is it? Yes, it is. Yeah.
The budget for Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Look it
up. That
>> the budget for New York City is larger
than the budget for the state of
Florida.
Holy, I did not know this.
>> Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is true. Uh,
we should look it up, but uh I was
reading an article about it today,
unless the article's completely full of
They were saying that it's several
billion dollars more for New York City
than it is for the entire state of
Florida, which has roughly three times
as many people living in it.
>> Holy. Is that true, Jamie? I'll try to
>> um I I just I go back, you know, once a
month to do Gutfeld. And I can't believe
I'm saying this as a former New Yorker,
but I like LA better now than New York.
>> Whoa.
>> It It hurts me physically to say,
>> what's wrong with New York now?
>> There's no
>> Here it is.
>> Eye popping amount. Insider called
Insanity is up around 11 billion from
the current year.
>> That's like 9% up. a record $127 billion
budget proposal on Tuesday. The
socialist leader, city leader plan
includes a whopping 9.5% proposed
property tax hike.
>> 9.5 hike
>> on New Yorkers, which he claims would be
a last resort while allocating another
$1.2 billion for migrants.
>> Migrants.
>> What's the Florida budget, Jamie?
>> Uh, scroll down a little bit. Okay. Uh,
wow.
>> But that's what
>> Oh my god. It's the same. It's about the
same.
>> Yeah. The New York one would have been
that this year, I think.
>> Yeah. But it's comparable. Holy crap.
>> So it's not three times more or whatever
the it is. More.
>> No. Three times more people. Right.
>> Right. So that is triple per capita.
>> Yeah. Triple per capita. So the budget
of Florida
House is 113.6 billion to 115 billion.
And the New York proposal is
127 billion. So it is more.
>> Holy.
>> So New York City is their budget is more
than the entire state of California with
three, excuse me, state of Florida with
three million more people or three times
the people.
>> Holy proposal, but for this year it's
the it would be this about the same
because if it's 11 million, that's 116.
That's the same.
>> But it's the point is it's still
>> it says it's up 11 billion from the
current year.
>> It's it's still a proposal though. He
hasn't passed it.
>> Well, he's not. Yeah, he's a
psychopath. Like, the the the amount for
migrants is crazy. There should be zero
dollars for illegal immigrants.
>> I I don't think you can have zero
because if they're going to be there,
they're going to be you have to feed
them. You have to take You have to do
something with them.
>> Like, literally, if if you don't feed
them, they're going to be robbing
stores. They have to Human beings need
food. What are you going to do? You
>> get them jobs.
>> How are you going to get a migrant a
job? uh get him a job in Guatemala.
>> Wouldn't you rather give them food than
a job? I don't want them taking American
citizens jobs.
>> Well, the whole thing's a mess.
>> The whole thing's a mess. But the point
is you can't just throw them away,
right? That's the problem.
>> Unless you're going to remove them from
the country,
>> right? Unless you remove if you even if
you want to put them in jail, that's not
cheap,
>> right? That cost a lot of money,
>> right? So, what are you going to do? I I
remember um Piers Morgan had this
amazing interview with my favorite
British politician, Dian Abbott, who is
really special needs clearly. And in the
UK, you have the the government which is
members of parliament from the uh uh
majority party and then you have the
minority party which has a shadow
cabinet. So if there's a secretary of
state, the dem Rubio, the Democrats
would have a Democrat equivalent who
would deal with those issues. And she
was their shadow home secretary which
deals with immigration. And he goes,
Diane, if the Labor government wins the
next election and you have illegal
immigrants here, what do you do with
them? Do they get to stay? Do you have
amnesty? You're going to deport them?
And he goes, she goes, "Peers, the
coutry uh system is not fit for purpose.
It's terrible. We'll be more efficient
and more fair." And he goes, "Right,
gotcha. There's an illegal immigrant. Do
they get to stay or are they deported?
I've explained this to you." And she's
just It was just this amazing thing.
>> Circular.
>> Yeah. I love her.
>> Um, how much money do they give to poor
New Yorkers? Oh, it's not. It's going to
be a lot. But is it the same amount?
>> Look at this.
>> Okay,
so 7.54
billion to fill cliffs across six major
unbudgeted needs.
>> Just to say though, they haven't raised
property taxes there in over 20 years.
>> Is that true?
>> That's what this says. It's 25 years
since September.
>> Well, the property taxes are high.
>> I'm just just a point. But I I
understand they haven't raised it, but
they shouldn't raise it
>> because it it goes with as property
values go up, the percent's going to go
up, the revenue is going to go up as
well.
>> Exactly. There's no reason to raise like
this idea that they haven't done it, so
they should do it is crazy.
>> Oh, look at that. So if your condo is
120 grand, which is no condo is going to
be that cheap.
>> Uh you're paying like 15% every year in
property tax.
>> Yeah.
>> That's not nothing.
>> That's not nothing. I think the idea is
that rich people are just going to pay
it and this is what they're trying to
push. Meanwhile, people are going to
flee just like they've done in other
countries when they've done sort of
wealth taxes.
>> That's 1,200 bucks though.
>> A month. But the the So 1,200 a month.
Yeah.
>> 1,200 for the year.
>> A condo? No, it's
>> assessed at $120,000 would go from
paying 14,000 to 16,000. But that's a
condo that's assessed at $120,000. Good
luck finding a condo assessed at
$120,000 in New York City.
>> 14,000 divided by 12 is
>> well for that particular condominium
unit
>> from 15,000 to 16,300. That's that's a
difference of
>> 1300.
>> Oh, I see. I saw you talking about
>> that's 12% on $120,000. Now do a $55
million condo.
>> This is a $3.2 million one. the really
the really wealthy people are
responsible for a large percentage of
the tax income in New York City. I think
it's the upper 1%. See if what I think
the upper 1% of New York City are
responsible for 50% of the tax revenue.
>> It's got to be something crazy.
>> It's something crazy like that. See what
the actual number is. So the thing about
that actual number is those are the
people that are going to leave because
those are the people if they own
multiple properties in New York City and
then he hits him with this tax and it
winds up being an ex excessive amount of
money and then they're planning on
taxing people if they leave. This is
like what they proposed in California.
They've also proposed this I think in
the Netherlands to try to stop people
from leaving right where you have to
still have to pay taxes.
>> France was doing some weird thing. I
remember when Deardu was leaving they
were trying to do something. They're all
just trying to steal money. Top 1% of
New York City income. Yeah. Earners paid
48% of the city's personal income tax
liability in 2021, the most recent year
with detailed data. Why is the most
recent year 5 years from ago? Um, the
PIT share equates to roughly 11% of New
York City's total tax revenue. PIT
accounts for 23% of overall city tax
collections. So, it's a lot of money.
48% of the city's personal income tax
liability is an enormous amount of
money. So property tax is 45%. That's
where they get all their money from,
which I can understand because you can't
take the Empire State Building somewhere
else,
>> right? But if you're jacking all that
up, top 1% paid 40% of PIT shares may
have declined post 2021 due to lower
capital gains.
>> But he did do something I liked. So him
and Kathy Hokll had this thing where now
where they're trying to streamline, I'm
sure there's some catch to make it
easier to build because they're
understanding if if rents are high,
demand, increasing supply is going to
lower costs. So, if they do that, I
think that's a great thing, obviously,
which I never saw coming.
>> Right. That is that's definitely good.
But there's still people are just they
don't like that kind of leadership. It's
spooky.
>> I I'm much more concerned about he has
someone on his in his cabinet or
proposed to be in his cabinet who's
concerned with decarceration. And the
princ the principle is we got too many
people in jail. Now, maybe that might be
true broadly speaking, but when you
apply that on mass and not on a case- by
case basis, who are you going to be
letting out? Because I don't think this
this claim people used to have that
like, oh, all these people are in jail
because of weed, they're not. And
certainly not in New York City. When I
was on a grand jury and these weed cases
came along, people wouldn't even indict
them. They're just like, we're not
taking part of this. This is BS. And now
it's legal.
>> So, for you to get to look at what's the
guy who uh uh was under Jordan Neely,
was that his name? What he had? 40
arrests. the one who punched that girl
in the face, the old lady in the face
and tried to kidnap a girl.
>> So for you to be in jail in New York,
it's not nothing,
>> right?
>> Yeah. And why why would they want to do
this?
>> Cuz their principle is the system or
society, whatever you want to call it,
whatever term for it is, is c making
people who are marginalized desperate.
So they act out. So instead of putting
them in jail, which helps no one is the
argument, we should be working with them
systemically to kind of normalize and
make productive citizens out of them.
>> And what's their plan for that?
>> Yeah, you have welfare programs,
different training programs, just throw
money at it.
>> Huh.
>> And here's the thing. I can understand
that argument. Maybe if someone's
stealing bread to feed their family,
I've never understood how I'm really
poor, so I'm going to hold a woman down
and do bad things to her. That's not a
thing.
>> Or just randomly punch people in the
streets or throw people in front of
trains.
>> Yeah,
>> that's right. It's like that's not a
It's not cuz you're late to your job
interview that you shove somebody in
front of the six train,
>> right? Yeah, it's dark, man.
>> It's very dark. But I LA is not as dark
as this from what I I think in LA there
is this still this sense of hope
>> really cuz people I talk to in LA
everyone I know knows someone broken
into
>> like the home invasions
>> Oh that's right that's a thing
>> they're up in a huge way.
>> I'm just comparing two different kinds
of cancer
>> and I'm saying the cancer in LA
>> is better than the cancer in New York.
>> Yes.
Because I remember growing up and not
that long ago with New York, there'd be
this you could find some new
neighborhood and there'd be some, you
know, cool ice cream store, some sock
store, whatever, button store, cool f
little spots, and it would be a fun
adventure. Just walk around and just
walking different places. And that's
gone, is it? Yeah. You can't open up
some weird little store in New York
anymore. The rent's through the roof.
Like it's the crime is through the roof.
It's miserable. LA has these little
pockets which I enjoy seeing.
>> So, what's the solution for New York
after this guy's out?
>> Do you think that it ever turns around
or do you think it keeps going in the
same general direction? And do you think
the powers that be want it to go in this
general direction?
>> It always turns around. So, John
Lindseay was mayor in the late60s during
like the summer of love stuff.
>> Uh, you had sexual assaults through the
roof. You remember New York was going
bankrupt under a beam when Gerald Ford
was president and Ford the headline the
I think the New York Post was Ford to
New York City dropped dead and that you
know you know cost him some votes and
possibly the the presidency but New York
has these I don't know what the cycle
for Giuliani to win you had to have a
Dinkens you know for Obama to come in
you had to have a Bush so at some but
here's the other problem there's two
issues one is a lot of people who could
left there didn't used to be a plan B
for New Yorkers New York was its own
thing.
>> Now it's Florida.
>> Now it's Florida or Austin.
>> Yeah.
>> And New York isn't New York anymore. Cuz
Fran Liberitz, my my second favorite
public speaker, she had this point. She
goes, "Look, there's a lot of things you
could say about a city that's full of
rich people. You could say it's good.
You could say rich people are bad. You
can't say it's interesting. And unless
there's a space for young people of
nothing to lose
>> who are going to bring culture and
innovation,
>> artists,
>> artists of broadly speaking, not just
little painters, but artists,
>> it was Williamsburg, it was the Bowery
before that, you know, there were little
pockets of magic. And I I read hook I
remember there was a bar called Lilies
and all of Red Hook was deserted and
there's this one light open and I came
to this bar and there were this amazing
singers and it was like a mystical
experience and there'd be street art but
that's you can't do that now.
>> Friend of mine's girlfriend used to work
in this place called Den of Thieves.
>> Oh, okay. Yeah.
>> Yeah. And you there was no sign,
>> right?
>> You go in there this dingy little hole
in the wall. This place is so cool.
>> It's so cool. But you can't do that
anymore.
>> No. So, and I don't think under this guy
there's going to be that uh return.
>> So, so do you think he's just appealing
to this base of disenfranchised young
people that have been told that the
reason why they have all these problems
is rich people are greedy and they've
ruined everything and we should tax the
rich and we'll feed the poor. I think he
is speaking to a lot of so people on the
right think everyone on the left is like
a big monolith. They're not. And I think
there's a lot of lefties, especially
young lefties, who don't think the
Democratic Party is an effective
mechanism toward resolving their issues
and concerns. And he's not he's unlike
Trump wasn't really a Republican. He's a
Republican on paper. He had no
allegiance to the Republican party. He
took them all out one at a time. This
guy is a Democratic socialist. He has no
uh in 1934 when Upton Sinclair ran for
governor of California after years of
running as a socialist, he goes, "People
vote for the party their grandparents
voted for." So he's a Democrat on paper.
He's a leftist obviously, but he's a
Democrat on paper. Cuomo was the
establishment hack. And he's like,
"Look, it was like Obama in08. Do you
want to go with this old party hack or
this young guy who's got a different
vision?" And he definitely does have a
different vision. This isn't how, you
know, Hillary would govern New York City
or or or uh or even Eric Adams or or
some of these others. It's
>> Well, I think one of the big reasons he
won was that debate where he said that
he wouldn't go to Israel.
>> You think that's a big big one, New
York?
>> 100%. I think that was an enormous
shift. I I
>> I would say that's a 10 15% shift.
>> 10 15
>> huge. We have
>> absolutely huge. I think I think the
polling is horshit because it's only
people so stupid they answer
polls.
>> Like who are those people?
>> I think there's
>> I think there was a giant cultural shift
where people like right shouldn't we be
paying attention to New York? Why are
all these people saying they want to go
to Israel? Why are they saying that?
Who's paying them? Why are they saying
that? That's an odd thing to say. No
one's saying the first thing I'm going
to do is visit Belgium. They're not
saying that. They're saying we're going
to go to Israel.
>> Sure. But there's also a huge Jewish
population in New York City, right? So
when Cromo tapped into that, I don't
know. I don't think Mumani was somehow
outed right as an
>> anti politicians like the percentage of
people that are Jewish in New York City
is small in comparison to the people
that think that New York City should be
the main focus of attention and not
Israel. And I think when you have all
these politicians that are doing things
that don't make sense to most people,
like saying the first thing I'm going to
do is visit Israel. What are you talking
about? This city's a mess. And then this
guy comes along and says, I can serve
the Jewish people of New York City
better in New York City.
>> And he had a large Jewish uh percent of
Jewish vote. My point is I don't think
that that number happened because of
debate. I think that was part of his
appeal from the beginning. Well, I think
for fence sitters though, that debate
was big because you got to see one guy
who's like, "This is a solution to this
system that we have been just replacing
the heads of the people that are in
charge, but it's the same exact
mechanism."
>> No, that's that's what I was saying
earlier that he's not a member of the
Democratic party. Cuomo is this old
party hack and he's like, "Look, let's
throw all that stuff in the garbage.
This is something innovative and new."
This was the argument Obama made in '
08. And he's not wrong,
>> right? like he when he when he had his
inaugural speech and he said, "We're
going to get rid of the cold whatever uh
uh uh grasp of capitalism and be
embraced by the warmth of collectivism."
No Democrat is saying things like this.
This is something completely new and
completely innovative. So, how it's
going to look in practice. Here's the
other thing, though. The mayor of New
York has a a ceiling to what he can do.
So, I would not if I'm He's 34, I think.
He's young. I don't If I'm sat in that
office and I'm up against the New York
City real estate uh um uh uh industry,
it's not going to be easy fight for me,
>> right?
>> Trump had to learn this the first term.
It's like just because you're president
doesn't mean people are going to bend
the knee,
>> right,
>> and play ball. So, who knows what this
is going to look like?
>> And it's not just New York City.
Seattle's doing the same thing. What are
they doing? Seattle, they elected a
full-on Congress. That's right. Yeah.
Who lived with her parents
>> and hasn't had a job, lives off her
parents.
>> Well, this is also a big concern with
the Democrats in general. But both
parties, when you have the base and the
establishment who are basically just
gangsters who are uh doing
moneyaundering and you have the kids who
are like, "We've been screwed over
hearing this for for for
decades. Let's have an alternative."
What do you do when you're Nancy Pelosi
and you're Chuck Schumer and you're to a
lesser extent Hakeim Jeff and these
people are coming up the kids wanting
Democratic socialists? I don't mean
kids. I mean young people who are
idealistic and they're like you're we
tried your way. It didn't give us
He gave us Trump. What do you tell them?
>> Yeah. What do you tell him?
>> You give there's no answer. You like
vote for Stenny Hoyer for another 10
years. Like like it's ridiculous.
Amy Clolobachar is not going to be your
candidate if you have this democratic
socialist vision. She will not deliver
that for you and she'll tell you that to
her fate to your face. Oh.
>> So I think that the um so I think that's
the dance Muome is trying to do.
And I don't see who I I think he'd be
the perfect VP because he's a great
attack dog. He doesn't have to worry
about defending.
>> I don't want to be the VP.
>> I've heard that, too. But he was uh um
Jerry Brown's number two. He he bided
his time.
>> Yeah, but he was Jerry Brown's number
two when he was young and he had never
been the governor.
>> Sure. I'm just saying like he would be
the perfect VP for the Democrats.
>> I don't think he wants that. I think he
wants to be the king. I think he wants
to ruin San Francisco, ruin California,
and then go on to become the president.
>> You don't think he'd have a good shot
>> at being the president? Yeah,
>> I think he does.
>> He does. He has a great shot.
>> I think he does. Yeah. I think people
are that dumb.
>> I don't think it's that dumb. I think
you could
>> They're that dumb that they're willing
to vote party line no matter what. And a
guy who's just a good speaker, who's a
good artist, that he could be
able to sweet talk his way into that
position and just fudge data, lie about
stuff. Nick Shirley is in California
right now doing the same thing that he
was doing in Minneapolis. Yeah. And
they've already uncovered
billions of dollars of fraud. Yeah. Oh,
he's making videos about it.
>> Oh, wow.
>> Same kind of fraud. Medicaid fraud
through the roof. All kinds of crazy
>> Yeah.
>> But I mean, I don't know how much that
Minnesota stuff permeated. I mean, it
took down Tim Waltz, which is a one of
the biggest scalps. Like, no one saw
that coming, right?
>> But the same thing, you take out Tim
Waltz, here's Clolobachar's governor.
It's a hydra. You're not you're not
frankly you'd rather have him. He's more
defeatable than her.
>> Does it depend upon how much fraud gets
exposed and who gets connected to that
fraud and what the investigation
unveils?
>> I you're going to have people who listen
to NPR tell you with a straight face
that this fraud happens under any
they'll have a little a list a list of
excuses. It's I it's been investigated
and resolved. This happened what?
there's no fraud in Florida and Texas or
what are you saying? Or why are you
targeting the Somali, right?
>> So, you're not going to get and at the
end of the day, I think people expect
government to have fraud and if it's in
Minnesota, you're not really going to if
I'm a Democrat in Minnesota, I'm voting
Democrat. And if I'm Republican, it's
not how many votes is this going to
sway?
>> Well, they've done an amazing job in
Minnesota of distracting people from the
Somali fraud by organizing protests
against ICE, right?
>> And that's people need to understand
like yes, people are upset about ICE.
fact un unquestionably just regular
people at home that aren't protesting.
But that protest is not just organized,
it's funded. It's heavily funded
organized. They had signal chats with
Democratic congressmen or Democratic
politicians rather that were involved in
this. There's they knew what they were
doing and they did it because they
wanted to distract from the fact that
this fraud was being exposed.
>> Well, I think they would do it
regardless, but yes, it certainly serves
that purpose.
>> They totally shifted the narrative.
>> Yes. Nobody's talking about the fraud
anymore. Everybody's talking about ICE
being murderers,
>> right?
>> Yeah.
>> So, it worked. That's what I'm saying.
If there's more fraud exposed, I don't
know that it's going to work against
Newsome.
>> Well, it depends on how the trials lay
out. So, if people wind up going to
trial over this and people wind up
getting indicted over this, that could
get more interesting because then you
remove it from Minnesota and then it
becomes this federal court thing and so
then it becomes mainstream public news
if they do this correctly. if there is
something there.
>> But the thing is you have to worry about
if the judge is going to be complicit
and if the prosecutor is going to be
complicit like and the media is also you
gota kind of fly that arrow through
three hoops that you got to go through
the bushes and make a you got a small
hole shoot through.
>> Yeah.
>> And then to try to make it indic and
then it'd be very easy for you to be
like I'm so glad this got exposed.
>> I promise you as president this won't
happen in America. And if you want to
talk corruption, look at Trump and all
his sweetheart deals. Blah blah blah
blah blah. Hillary's already throwing
women under the bus about Epstein. They
don't have shame.
>> Did you see that? Hillary's like Trump's
in files thousands of times. Like let's
have this conversation. She started
already.
>> Right. Right. What does that mean though
when you're in the file thousands of
times? Because he is the guy that was in
contact with the FBI about Epstein. He
he did contact the FBI after Epstein was
arrested and thank them for arresting
him and getting him because that guy was
a real problem.
>> Right. But
>> he did kick him out of Mara Lago in
2005.
>> But she's being factual but not
truthful. So it is factual that his name
is in the files thousands of times. And
then you leave it for the person
listening to make that conclusion.
>> Right. That's all you have to say.
That's all you have to say.
>> We were talking to Don Rawlings
yesterday. He's in the files.
>> Who?
>> Okay.
>> Because Epstein went to visit his show.
went to watch his show at Improv in West
Palm Beach.
>> I I I did a search for the word
and the one the one email I found was
someone like, "Can you mail me that
photo where I look fat and retarded?"
>> That's it.
>> And it's not clear from who. It's too
abstracted.
No one wants to know they were admitted
they look fat and
>> or the nwords in there a fair amount
also.
>> Well, there's a lot of references to
pizza,
you know. There's I think there's
thousands of references to pizza and
jerky. The jerky and grape soda. Yeah.
>> So I thought
>> the grape the thing about grape soda is
grape is like what people do to get
around the algorithm when they're
discussing rape when they don't he
graped them.
>> But this was like 2011. I don't think
people knew about that stuff.
>> Right.
>> And I don't think Epstein as a boomer
knows how to get around algorithms.
>> Right. This not an algorithm thing. It's
just a code thing. So, I thought maybe
it's a black thing, but then
>> grape soda. Oh, right.
>> Yeah, but then he's racist. There's like
things about don't bring black people.
>> Oh, really?
>> Oh, yeah.
>> He says don't bring black to that
effect. Yeah, something that something
to that effect. Please double check me
on this, but it was something that he
was not No black girls.
>> Oh, no black girls. Interesting.
>> Huh. So, yeah.
>> I don't think we're ever here. I I the
other thing that I'm kind of stunned at
is there's this belief online that if
there's enough agitation
like Qanon we're all going to have these
mass arrests and I don't see that
happening and I don't think you can do
anything to force them to release the
really bad stuff if they haven't.
>> So what else is left? There's three thou
3 million other files that they have.
>> They said they released everything.
Well, they also said there wasn't
anything,
>> right?
>> You know, when Cash Patel was on here,
it's like there's no videos, there's no
evidence, there's no nothing.
>> The craziest for me was when Pam Bondi
said, "I've got the list and I said to
myself, and I I talked to my friends,
they all agreed with me. I'm like, I
really don't think he had like clients
list. Doc on his desktop. That's not a
thing, right? So, I would I I believe he
doesn't like have a literal list." And
later she goes, "When I said list, I
meant blah blah blah." And I'm like,
"But you said list,
>> right?" Well, they had those binders.
They were all performatively holding
those binders. We have the files. We're
going to go through them. Heads are
going to roll. Nothing happened.
>> Right.
>> And then Les Wexner, what did he say
today, Jamie? You were saying that he
said, "Man, he was conned or something
by
>> He's conned.
>> I've been seeing online. I don't know
the accuracy that there's a bunch of
missing files from specifically 1999
through 2001,
>> right? And that people are connecting
that to 911." Yeah.
>> Oh, wait. Wait. 19
>> pre and post 911 are all missing.
>> Wait, so Epstein might be involved with
9/11?
>> But I I mean, what's the thumb taxes
string? I'm not saying it's impossible.
I'm just saying
>> Well, there's a lot of people that
believe that Israel was involved in 911,
>> right? But I don't think Epstein was
high up in the Israeli decision-making
process.
>> Oh, but they're I think they're just
looking for financial records of things
and those are all missing. Um people's
names
pop up. If I found out Muhammad Ata was
a pedophile, I might actually start to
dislike that guy.
>> That would really change my opinion of
him.
>> I've seen files surrounding 911.
>> Wow. Coincidence. Oh, this just came
out.
>> Yeah, this is I mean, people are still
digging into this stuff every day.
>> Holy crap.
>> Why people keep fighting new all
the time.
>> Oh my god. Scroll down. This is
fascinating.
>> That cryptic
George W. Bush photograph.
>> No, the Clinton ones worse
>> of the art. Yeah, the dress. We have
that outside.
>> Yeah, I saw. Yeah,
>> they stumbled across something where
there was redacted photos. If you looked
through the files and typed in something
like no photos rendered,
>> you could change the PDF tompp4 orov.
Thousand videos of videos were popping
up.
>> Wow.
>> People are starting to watch all those
videos. Some of them are from the
prison. Some of them are from the
island.
>> Flight logs starting. Okay. So,
>> have they found anything in those
videos?
>> I that's
>> You got to go through them individually,
right?
>> Yeah. No, people are now that's I don't
again the accuracy I don't know. I've
seen a video where someone said this was
from the video and there's like a girl
crying in it, but I don't know.
>> Aderall and autism, do your job.
Find those videos.
>> That that should be the subtitle of this
show. A real good experience. Add all
and autism. Do your job. Holy crap.
That's hilarious.
>> Oh my god. What a world we're living in.
>> You want to talk about I want to talk
about Scott Adams?
>> Sure.
>> I was just at his memorial. Are you Was
he ever on your show?
>> Yes. Um, I got invited to speak and it
was really a great uh um experience. I
got a because I'm a mental patient. I
got a Dilbert mask and the thing with
the Dilbert mask is there's no mouth,
right? So Dr. Drew was supposed to speak
and I was going to go there and do my
little terrorism where I was going to
have my little phone and say, "Nice to
meet you. I'm Dilbert." And wave and
then swipe and be like, you know, "Can
you take off your glasses, please?" And
he takes out the glass and be like, "Uh,
nice eyes. May I I'm going to take
them." and just with people at the
funeral like Scott would have wanted.
Um, it was really uh great because it
was very upbeat and I was kind of
honored. Gutfeld asked me to Gutfeld
text me. He goes, "Hey, do you want to
speak?" And I go, "I'm be huge honor."
He just goes, "Great." And I'm like, "Am
I actually speaking or you're just, you
know, quizzing me?" Um, I got to see
Cernovich was there, Pobic, a few other
people. and then afterwards went to his
house. And there's something really kind
of um
eerie about walking in the house of
someone who had just uh passed. His
ex-wife Sherry let me take two of his
markers, which I will, you know, always
treasure and kind of hang in my house.
There were two lines I couldn't say at
the memorial because I knew the fans
would get salty, which is, uh, Scott is
in heaven right now doing what he loved
most, avoiding black people. And the
reason Dilbert was a black and white
comic strip is because Scott didn't
really like the colors,
>> right? Cuz Scott was a humorist. Just go
for the joke, right?
>> Um, but it I mean it it's it's it's
just it's it's weird uh how much he
still resonates, I think, with with
people. Um, and I I don't really have
anything else particularly to say, but I
just felt it was important to kind of,
you know, commemorate his passing
because he's really helped me out a lot
in my thinking.
>> Yeah. It's a real bummer, man, because
it happened so quickly. His cancer. He
got turbo cancer.
>> Well, he had it in January 2025,
>> and he said, "I'm going to wait for my
stepdaughter to get married." And she
was there, and I got to meet her. She
was a lovely kid, uh, to get married and
then I'm gonna do it. And then he
tweeted something out. RFK jumped in.
Trump jumped in. They got him this
medicine and they got him a few more
months. And you know, so he got six more
months. Point being with the maid stuff.
Just cuz someone's terminal doesn't mean
they don't have months left. You could
do a lot in those months. It was funny.
There's another cartoonist. I apologize.
I'm blanking his name. And uh he was
friends with Scott for a long time.
Scott had promoted his work once and he
went from like obscurity to like a big
name. And Scott asked him, "Hey, can you
write the forward to my forthcoming
biography?" And the guy's like, "I'm not
really gonna have time." So it like
Scott was that kind of person where he's
just like, "Just because you know I'm
about to meet my maker, I don't want you
to be morose. I I he reframe your brain
is a complete masterpiece because what
he does is he goes through
>> uh fra mindsets and instantly
recalibrates them. One of them is the
regular framework is I should do great
at my job. And his reframe is my job is
to prepare for a better job. And when
you think about it that way, having that
shitty job isn't that rough because
you're just laying the groundwork for
something better. So when I spoke, I
said the framework is we're having a
memorial for Scott, but the reframe is
we're having a party and Scott's really
late, right? So if you think about that
terms, hey, we're having fun. Where's
this Because he didn't want us
to be there like moping. He won. He
always was positive. Always was fun even
during that day. So I I thought I just
owe him a lot.
>> Did he blame his death on the co shots?
>> So he got a lot. This really bothered me
because he'd be tweeting about stuff.
People like shouldn't have got the shot.
It's like this guy's about to die. Like
this is your gotcha moment. This is your
like I told you so moment. It's just
>> so he he did not blame it. Um, I
wouldn't be surprised if that was the
You saw what just happened. I met James
Vanderbeek through you. I met him at the
mothership in the green room. 48, six
kids. The wife seemed very sweet and
charming, too. He was just a seemed like
a real chill dude. I haven't seen one
person
>> seemed like a super nice guy.
>> Not one person anything bad to say about
him, which says a lot from that kind of
era.
>> Yeah. No, he was a sweetheart.
>> So, 48, man, that that's that's scary.
>> I know. And it's there's an
unprecedented number of young people
that are dying of cancer. In fact, was
it Time magazine that had a cover of it?
I saved it because it was kind of the
cover is kind of crazy because it's
proposing like what is causing these
things and why is this all happening as
if no one knows?
>> Yeah, right. Like who what could it be?
>> What is this? Some mystery could
be anything, you know? Uh I know I saved
it.
>> Something from a year ago.
>> Raised to explain why more young adults
are getting cancer.
>> Holy crap.
>> Yeah. What do you think it could be?
Anything weird happened? Do you guys
know what SV40 is? Should probably look
it up. But
>> what's amazing about articles like do
they are does that article make it a
point to do they ignore the vacc
so-called vaccine or do they downplay it
as the cause? Like those are the two
options,
>> right?
What did they say in that article? Did
they bring up
>> love to hear that
>> couldn't possibly be you?
>> Do you know what really me up
recently? And you're going to laugh in
my face and every Maha person listening
this is going to laugh in my face.
>> What? And you could feel free to laugh
at my face because it's covered in polka
dots.
Aspartame.
I would drink. My main method of
hydration was Dr. Pepper Zero.
It's warranted. I know. This is why I
have the polka dots. And I go to New
York and I'm low on calories for my
macros. And I switched to full sugar Dr.
Pepper. So it wasn't the caffeine. And
my thinking changed. And I'm like, this
is And I go online. This has been known
for since
>> you change household.
>> I was quicker on my feet. I was having
trouble remembering words, remembering
names, remembering just being my verbal
cogn uh speed of how I speak is
something that is part of my job and I
was having issues with that. I have
workarounds when I couldn't think of
someone's name or someone's word or I
was having this also. There you go.
Research has linked high consumption of
aspartame to impaired memory, spatial
learning deficits, and faster cognitive
decline.
in adults under 60.
>> Yep. Neuroinflammation, oxidative
stress. Aspartame metabolize metabolites
could trigger chronic micro gile
activation and increased oxidative
stress in the brain leading to neuronal
damage and potential neurodeeneration.
Um, you know who pushed that through,
right? Aspartame. Rumsfeld.
>> No.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
>> Uh, search that. So, here's the thing.
>> Throw that into perplexity. If you're if
you're listening to this and you're
someone like me who was living on it,
just try for two days, right?
>> Really?
>> And you'll know right away if cuz I also
had this low-key anxiety all the time.
Like it was like a one out of 10, but it
was there. I thought, "Okay, it's just
whatever it I thought it's just life."
Nope, it's gone.
>> Donald Rumsfeld, CEO of GD Serial in the
late 1970s, early 80s, played a pivotal
role the FDA approval of aspartame, the
artificial sweetener in products like
Neutrieet.
>> Holy crap.
>> Yeah. Um, so they there was studies back
then um showing approval due to
potential carcinogenic car
carcinogenicity
risks. Uh, Hayes approved aspartame for
dry food shortly after expanding it to
beverages by 1983.
What would there was studies on I think
there was rat studies
>> gave them like Alzheimer's.
Well,
>> so I am just warning people as much as I
can. Pretend I'm a quack. That's fine.
Just give it two days.
>> Lay off aspartame
>> and see what happens to you.
>> Okay.
Well, it makes sense. I mean, there's no
biological free lunch. If you get
something, it does something positive,
it's probably doing something negative.
It's if it's some novel potion that
you're pouring into your body, there's
probably some negative aspect of I was
talking to Dr. Mike about this about um
ompic and all
>> brain tumors in rats.
>> Yeah.
>> Led FDA to stay aspartame 74 approval.
Brain t and rats, man.
Highlighted high brain tumor incidents
in rat feeding studies and risks from
phenyl alanine causing convulsions or
mental retardation. Isn't that what they
think killed Tammy Fay Baker? Didn't she
drink like a gallon of Diet Coke
a day?
>> Really?
>> Yeah. Find that. I think I think that's
what a lot of people because Tammy Fay
Baker I think died of brain cancer.
>> Colon cancer.
>> Colon cancer. Okay.
>> Lungs.
>> What's that?
>> That spread to her.
>> Oh, that's awful.
>> Went from her colon to her lungs.
>> That's what is she doing? Mass stuff.
>> She should call Kristen Cinema.
>> I don't think it's contagious.
>> She should call Kristen Cinema. That was
some weird orgies down there.
>> Um,
>> But wasn't she like a prolific diet coke
drinker?
I think she was I think people were
trying to link it.
>> Look, it can't be good for you.
>> Well, I I
>> tastes like sugar. It's not sugar. It
can't be good for you.
>> It did a number on me and I'm happy to
be able to warn people.
>> Um
>> scared the out of me when it when
>> I like stevia. Like I like these drinks
called Zevas. They're stevia drinks and
zero calories. Tastes good,
>> right?
>> Doesn't quite taste like sugar, but it
tastes good enough.
>> I'm just sticking to my water and my
full sugar sodas. I My daughter's like
really good at reading labels and
finding and she was like, "You sure
you're only supposed to drink one of
those a day?"
>> I
>> I was like, "Are you sure?"
>> Was eating a protein bar this this
morning while getting my face did and I
just look at the label and one of the
ingredients I see is titanium dioxide.
I'm like, "Do I really
>> titanium?"
Interesting.
>> Like what?
>> Yeah.
>> So that's in me now.
>> Yeah. There's other protein bars. You
don't have to eat that
>> I think they all have that.
>> No, I eat carnivore bars. You ever had
carnivore bars? Just like fat and meat.
I use M Light is the brand I use.
>> Carnivore bars are great. They they they
just taste like like you're eating fat.
Fat and meat
>> like Okay. But is that all the
ingredients are?
>> Yeah. I don't think there's anything bad
in them at all. I think it's like
>> Pull that company up. Carnivore bars.
>> I'm happy to switch.
>> Yeah. I think it's pretty natural. I
don't I don't think there's anything in
there.
>> This got to have a lot of salt or
sodium.
>> Yeah, there's some salt in there, but
salt's not bad for you. That's all
horseshit.
>> Well, like when you're eating TV dinners
and those numbers, that's not bad.
>> That's different. TV dinners are filled
with preservatives. Oh, carnivore snacks
is great. This is No. Well, this is
something that I eat all the time. This
is my go-to snack. When I go to the UFC,
that's the stuff I bring. I bring that
and you bring it. They don't have it for
you.
>> No, I bring it. I bring it because I get
this.
>> I work with this company. So, they send
me a bunch of it. It's great.
That but the carnivore bar. So, this
stuff.
>> Okay. Purest meal on earth. Two
ingredients. 20 gram of protein, 35 gram
animal-based fat, 400 to 420 calories
from grass-finish beef. Shelf stable, no
refrigeration.
>> That's what I eat.
>> Okay, send it to me. Send me some, guys.
>> I have some. They'll send you some. But
if I had some here, I give I eat those
all the time. I take them with me. I
throw them in my car. It's
great. If you want to eat something
>> that is what I need.
>> Protein. It's got grass-finish beef
tallow. So, you get the fat from beef
tall. Some people don't like the fe the
taste of it. I like it.
>> Why do they I like
>> It's kind of mild or bland.
>> That's fine though. You're eating it
from
>> trying to get food,
>> right? Yeah. Nutrition.
>> Yeah. But it doesn't make me feel bad at
all. It feels like food. Like I've tried
some other stuff like I tried those
David bars. Oh my god. I never heard of
that
>> farts I was having. So David bars, they
have some weird uh fat in it that your
body doesn't digest.
>> Like those oene chips,
>> something like that. but a new version
of it. And so when this company uh when
they were purchased, they got a monopoly
on that kind of this whatever this
ingredient is and all these other
companies, they blocked it. These
companies that were using it, they
couldn't use it anymore. So a lot of
people were like boycotting David bars.
They taste good and they have like a lot
of protein. I think it's like 30 protein
for like 150 calories. But good lord,
the farts I was having. I was like,
"This is cuz your body's like, "What is
this?"
>> I had that same thing with protein
Cheerios.
>> Protein Cheerios.
>> Yeah. It wasn't farts. I was having the
trots. But really?
>> Yeah. Like it tastes good.
>> This is the are you doing?
>> Just eat just eat some meat.
>> Yeah. Well, eat something like carnivore
bars or those carnivore snacks are
delicious. It's just beef and salt.
>> That's all those carnivore bar those
snacks are. It's like a beef pastry.
>> Good.
>> It's not even like jerky. It's chewy.
It's delicious. So, this is a fat sub
lab engineered fat substitute called
EPG, manufactured by a littleknown
Indianapolis based company called
Epogee. After tinkering with the product
formulation, the Fugals set up a website
in 2024 and began promoting the bars at
local bodybuilding shows and farmers
markets.
>> It's just an article about the
>> right. So, what does it say that stuff
does?
>> Well, I'm
>> so find out what that stuff. It's a fat
substitute. Yeah,
>> but it does something where your body
doesn't digest the fat. Like it doesn't
turn into calories.
>> This is promoting them. This is making
it sound great.
>> Yeah. There's 58 other mentions of VPG
anymore.
>> Yeah. This is making it sound like, oh,
they're the it's the best thing ever.
They're not mentioning the farts.
>> Well, this is probably promoting it.
>> Yeah, it is. Yeah.
>> Oh, no. This is about the lawsuit. Oh,
>> a better Ostra. At the time, fat was the
big culprit for heart disease, which
it's not. Undigestible. Oster was
undigestible. That was its key
attribute. It passed right through the
digestive tract. Therefore, wouldn't
result in body fat. The problem was its
low melting point in the body, which led
to an infamously polite phrase printed
on the wow labels may cause abdominal
cramping and loose stools.
>> Yeah, people were this Pringles
or something, I think.
>> Well, this stuff didn't give me loose
stools, but it did did give me like the
devil was farting out of my But
I got to tell you, is that sometimes
fun?
>> Farts?
>> Yeah. Like when you have a fart that
sounds like a symphony?
>> Like when you're old and you start
having new farts? I kind of like it. I'm
just like, how? I still got it.
>> Well, this was just like for me it was a
warning sign. My body was like, "Hey,
this
>> I think it's a warning sign for other
people too, Joe."
>> Um, yeah. Right. Anybody else knew me?
So, what is the problem with that stuff?
>> Okay.
and problems.
>> I guess
>> that's not good.
>> So that was the thing they were trying
to block other people from using it.
>> Bloating, gas, and diarrhea. Yeah.
>> Yeah. Bloating, gas, and diarrhea due to
sugar, alcohol,
>> laxative effect. Wow.
>> And the non-digestible fat substitute.
That's it. Uh which are poorly absorbed
and can have a laxative effect,
especially in larger amounts. The
company recommending limiting intake to
two bars daily to minimize discomfort.
>> Wait, wait, wait. Can we stop talking
about this? I love that they say
minimize, not eliminate. There's no food
where you're like, you know, if you eat
too much,
>> you're going to definitely have
discomfort.
>> Who's eating two of these things
a day?
>> I'm sure people
>> I know, but I mean, like after the
farts, wouldn't you be like, hey,
>> and but it's not only the farts is the
distension,
>> the inflammation.
>> Yeah. Do you have that bloated feeling?
For some people, what but you know why
they would choose something like this is
they want all that protein with 150
calories and they'll just take the
farts.
>> Yeah. Well, I mean look at whey is not
digestible. That's the standard protein
for bodybuilders.
>> Yeah, but it doesn't bother me.
>> Yeah, but a lot of people weigh not
break down.
>> Yeah, I have zero problem with way.
>> I can't do way.
>> I was getting brain fog.
A little bit.
>> Interesting. Huh.
>> Maybe I'm something's wrong with my
brain. I don't know. Well, you might
have like a like some sort of a, you
know, a milk allergy or something.
>> That's possible.
>> Who the hell knows? But the point is I
switched to the whole meat protein and
that's
>> something like carnivore snacks or those
carnivore bars. That's the solution. Get
those and that way you're you don't have
to even think. It's just food and your
body treats it like food. It feels like
food when you eat it. It doesn't feel
like
>> It's just hard for me to get enough
calories in a day for what I need.
>> What are you trying to do?
>> I'm doing lean gains. Lean gains. Yeah.
What does that mean?
>> So, you're keeping the same body fat,
but you're slowly putting on weight. So,
it's really a tight rope.
>> Okay. So, you're in you're involved in
that again. I know you bailed on
bodybuilding type activities.
>> Well, no, I still go to the gym, but
>> but you're trying to get jacked.
>> I think I'm in good shape.
>> But you're trying to get jacked.
>> I don't know what. Okay. Yeah.
>> I don't know why you're doing that. I
didn't do that. What do you mean?
>> I'm just asking. Are you trying to get
jacked?
>> I I Okay, that seems like a kind of
question that you cornering me in the
gym say. What do you mean by trying to
get Oh, no. It's a normal thing for
people that are trying to get swole.
You're trying to get like big muscles.
>> I am trying to put on as much mass as I
can while maintaining a somewhat lean
build.
>> What are you doing like as far as your
workouts?
>> I go to gym four days a week. I
>> What are you doing with your workout?
What kind of workouts?
>> I do a bro split. Don't make fun of me.
>> No, there's nothing wrong with a bro
split.
>> There's a bro There's nothing wrong.
>> Nothing wrong with it. Works.
>> Yeah, but I'm not doing legs because my
legs are already too big for my jeans.
>> What? Yeah,
>> get stretchy jeans.
>> I I have 30 pairs of jeans. I don't need
to get more jeans. Point being, my
>> But do you have regular jeans that are
made out of cotton or do you get jeans
that have flex in them?
>> I have 30 pairs. So, there's a mix. But
point being, my legs are great. I'm
Russian. Russians have great leg DNA.
>> So, you don't work out your legs at all?
You're going to get an imbalance.
>> How?
>> Also, if you work out your legs, your
whole body will grow.
>> I I That's true. And And you'll put up
more pounds on the scale. The point
being my I'm already at the point
marginal with most of my jeans and it
and they're not they're not skinny
jeans.
>> Let me see your legs.
>> I'll you want I How am I going to show
you my legs?
>> Just stand up. Let me see your legs of
your jeans.
>> Those are not too big. That is
ridiculous.
>> No, no, no. I don't need to be No, no,
no, no, no.
>> Hold on. I will I will send you a photo
of my legs and you're going to
apologize. My legs are great.
>> Okay.
>> They're not chicken legs.
>> I believe you. They don't look like
chicken legs. chicken leg,
>> but I don't think you should be
concerned about them getting bigger.
First of all, it takes a lot to get your
legs much larger. Takes a lot like
you're going to have to really push past
like some severe discomfort.
>> I I'm not disputing that. But point is
they're already marginal with my
clothes. And I think
>> you got new clothes. You've got money.
Listen, you got to balance. You got to
keep your body balanced. Like that's why
you should do legs. Like you should
never just do upper body.
>> Joe, I am nowhere at the point where my
upper body is too big for my legs. Well,
it's not that you should condition both
of them together.
>> Okay?
>> It's like you want to have a body that
works together.
>> My body is fine. I'm not going to be
body shamed on this show.
>> I'm not body shaming you. I'm talking
about functional.
>> What function? Going up the stairs,
>> anything you have to do. If you have to
pick something up and move it, if you're
not working your legs, then all that
stuff in your hips, all that stuff, all
all the surrounding tissue, all that
stuff is not getting the exercise it
deserves while you're working out your
upper body.
>> Fine. Point being, my legs are perfectly
fine and strong and it was hard for me
to get the calories I need. That's all
I'm saying here.
>> So, um, how many calories you What are
you trying to do a day?
>> I I think it's like 3200.
>> Okay.
>> Which is not nothing.
>> That's a good meal for me.
>> That's a lot of calories.
>> Yeah, I guess.
>> What do you mean? You don't think that's
a lot?
>> I eat a lot.
>> If you're eating clean, 3200's a lot.
>> Okay.
>> Yeah, I guess. Yeah. So, 3200 calories.
So, but you're trying to stay lean and
um are you on testosterone replacement
or anything like that?
>> I don't know what you're talking about.
>> Okay, you are good. That's good.
Peptides. Any peptides?
>> You know what I tried? I tried
>> Okay, good.
>> I tried glow.
>> What's glow?
>> Oh, well, well, well. Mister does a skip
leg day and he doesn't have polka dots
on his face. Someone does. You call
yourself a bro and you don't have polka
dots on your face. Glow is this new
peptide. It's a combination of three
things and it's called glow because it's
has heavy copper so it's blue. Glow.
Huh. You're welcome.
Interesting. Most people combine PBC157
TB500 and GHKCU without addressing
sequencing or inflammation first. Here's
what determines whether glow truly
works.
>> Interesting. Oh, okay. So, it's a
combination of all those things
together. Yeah.
>> Interesting.
>> Because I pulled my shoulder pretty bad
>> with your heavy lifting.
>> It wasn't I don't think it was heavy.
It's just probably I don't know what
happened.
>> You don't lift heavy.
>> I lift somewhat heavy, but not enough. I
I'm not going to lift heavy enough to um
provoke injury.
>> Okay.
>> I think that's that's kind of foolish,
especially at my age.
>> It is. But if you want to gain weight,
>> but I'm gaining weight. What kind of
You're not doing bench or anything, are
you? You do bench press.
>> Why? Why wouldn't I do bench press?
>> Why wouldn't you? Yeah, because it's
terrible for your shoulders.
>> Well, I do dumbbell bench.
>> That's slightly better for your
shoulders. Okay.
>> But that activity of having a lot of
weight down here,
>> I'm only putting up 70s. That's not that
much.
>> It's a lot for you.
>> Okay.
>> When all that weight back here when
you're right here, it puts tremendous
strength.
>> So, what should I do for pecs?
>> You could do dips. Dips are fantastic
for it. Um, you know, uh, don't go past
90 degrees. You can once you condition
your shoulders to like be able to do it,
but dips are good. Weighted dips are
really good. Um, there's stuff that you
could do like just kettle bells will I I
don't do any chest exercises other than
dips.
>> Really?
>> Yeah. I do a lot of kettle bells. Most
of my exercises are full body motion
stuff. Almost everything. I do a lot of
uh snatches,
a lot of cleans, a lot of uh like
alternating cleans, a lot of renegade
rows. Everything I do is kettle bells.
>> All I do is I know someone who's really
knows this stuff and I follow orders.
Like that's literally good. That's good
too. My concern is always functional
movement. My concern is always I want my
body to work as one unit. I don't like
isolating things. I I think I do a lot
of compounds like like uh incined
dumbbell incline bench is is one example
or uh I don't even remember what the the
other kind of stuff.
>> But if you have shoulder problems and
you're benching I there's a lot of
people I know that just have a
completely eliminated benching from
>> Is that right? Okay. Huh.
>> Especially heavy benching.
>> It only resolved this week. Thank God.
>> But you know what? It won't like if
you're doing kettle bells. That's the
weird thing about kettle bells. It
increases the strength of all your
activities. Like they found that people
that do snatches uh it increased their
V2 max and it increased their ability to
do chin-ups.
>> I did used to do kettle bells some I had
it one of the lifts in my workout and I
pulled out my back once something so
fierce. It was a temporary like like
almost like a cramp but it was very very
scary.
>> Do you remember what the exercise was?
>> Yeah. I was doing the when you're
bending over and you swing it over your
head.
>> Snatch.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> Yeah. The Well, the key to that is
warm-ups. Do you warm up a lot?
>> No.
>> Or should you?
>> No. I do warm-ups with the with the
weights. It's like I'll I'll do I'll my
first set will be 40% of my working set.
>> What I would recommend is you got to
especially as you get older, you really
have to warm your body up. And one of
the things that I do is I always do 10
minutes on the Airdine bike, get
everything like slightly sweaty. Then I
do a lot of jump rope. I get everything
fired up. And then I do a lot of
mobility exercises. I do like body
twists. I do these things like you wave.
I get down to the bottom and I wave all
the way up and I bend backwards and I go
forward. I do a lot of twists. I get
everything loose. And then I start with
push-ups and bodyweight squats. I do 100
push-ups, 100 body weightight squats,
and that's my warmup. So, all that
stuff. By the time I'm done with all
that stuff, now everything's warm, and
now I can start working out.
>> How many days a week do you lift or work
out?
>> Well, I work out almost every day. Okay.
>> Occasionally, I'll take a day off, but I
work out almost every day. And then with
lifting, it's almost every day. It
depends on what I'm doing. And if I'm
hitting the bag, generally I don't I
don't lift weights the days I hit the
bag. So that's like maybe two or three
days a week. Um so the other two days a
week it I alternate between stuff like
body weight stuff like pull-ups,
chin-ups, dips. Uh
I do uh L pull-ups where you know you uh
stick your legs out straight so you're
working your abs at the same time you're
doing that.
>> I do uh a bunch of different things.
lower back stuff, a lot of back
extensions, reverse hyper stuff, sit-ups
on that GHB machine where you're going
all the way down. And
>> yeah,
>> I'm just happy with the results and I'm
of the if it ain't broke, don't fix it
>> uh uh mindset.
>> Well, that's good.
>> Yeah.
>> Well, as long as you're happy with the
results, I would just avoid a lot of
heavy lifting with uh bench press. I
think bench press is uh so many people I
know that have their shoulders up
their shoulders up through bench
press. And I know a lot of bros are
going to get angry.
>> Yeah, I know. That's what I'm waiting
for. It's, oh my god,
>> how much do you bench, bro?
>> But here's the thing. Like, we did the
Sober October thing where uh you know,
we had the these these stupid fitness
challenges and then after Sober
October's over, we all got drunk. And so
then we went out to my gym and uh Ari,
Tom, and Bert were all trying to bench
225. And I don't bench at all. And I did
it 13 times. Like I I don't bench. And I
just
>> Ari could pull up two plates.
>> No, he couldn't do it. Okay, that was
No, they all got pinned.
>> Yeah, 225 is no joke.
>> Yeah, Burke can do it now, but back then
he wasn't lifted.
>> You can't casually do two plates.
>> Yeah,
>> no one can.
>> Yeah, but I did without ever benching. I
know.
>> No, but I mean like you're someone who
works out Saturday. I'm saying like if
you're next
crushed.
>> Yeah, of course. Wait, they thought they
could do it.
>> Bert did. Bert definitely
>> Bert's heavy, right? How much does B
weigh? He's like 250.
>> B's like 250. Yeah,
>> Tom was bigger at the time, too. that I
okay was I mean it must have just
collapsed there was no they got they got
crushed but the point is it's like doing
kettle bells will help all those other
things
>> because it just your whole body gets
strong and it's not an unusual motion to
do that you know you could do it
>> yeah I just I I like the weights
>> weights are great there's nothing wrong
with weights I just would be careful
about benching
>> even dumb I think dumbbell benching is
probably better than barbell benching
And I just think there's other ways to
work your chest.
>> Okay,
>> I'll talk to Monster Russ. That's my
guy.
>> And there's a lot of people that don't
even agree with dips. Like my my
orthopedic surgeon that told me that I
need to get my soldier shoulder operated
on 15 years ago and I never did. Uh he
was like, "Got to stop doing dips." I
go, "Why? Really?" He goes, "Everybody I
know that have their shoulder up
did it through dips." I go, "Well, that
doesn't mean anything, right?"
>> What? Like I'm looking at him. I'm
looking at him and his body. Like look
at your Shut the up.
>> And look at all these gymnasts. Like
they do dips 24/7.
>> Yeah, exactly. Just build up to it.
Don't do too much. All of it is like
overworking your body. You have to like
slow progression is the the key.
>> There is something fun about I I do love
doing dips because you feel like you're
flying. There's something about it when
you're just Yeah. Yeah.
>> What can I say?
>> But that's a great chest exercise. Dips
are Yeah. Along with uh the push-ups. Do
100 push-ups a day and then do dips. But
you're the you okay, we could talk about
this also. You're the one. Can I tell
you what you said to me at the
mothership about this?
>> What I said?
>> You said you can't be jacked and be
funny.
>> Well, you can, but you can't show it.
>> That I meant like you you like at a
certain point you're too jacked. There's
a cost.
>> Well, there's definitely a cost to the
way you look. Like you look intimidating
and that's not that funny for people,
>> right?
>> Yeah. And Roseanne was telling me or not
just when she was starting out, she lost
all this weight and people stopped
laughing.
>> Ah, there's plenty of skinny funny
women.
>> Not not in 1981.
>> You think are you calling Rosan Bar a
liar?
>> No, I just don't think that's what it
was. I I've seen people lose weight and
still be hilarious. It's just like
people there is a mentality that people
have. Like Kevin James, his
agent said this to him once. I got
furious. Kevin was losing weight. He was
trying to get in shape. He was really
self-conscious about his weight. and his
agent said, "Kevin, when you lose
weight, you're losing roles."
>> But that's true, though, because he's
he's very much a specific character.
>> So, what? He could do anything.
He's a talented guy. It's not like if he
lost the weight, he wouldn't be funny
anymore. That dude's funny.
>> Hold on, hold on. I'm not disrespecting
Kevin James in any way. Mad respect for
him. Point Ball Cop, the greatest comedy
of all time.
>> It's a funny movie.
>> I I believe you. I haven't seen it.
Point being, he is very much in people's
mind a certain specific thing. Right.
Right. So if Kevin James stopped being
that thing, I think it's going to be a
lot hard for a lot of normies to come
over with him to a different paradigm.
That's all I'm saying. Come on.
>> It would be a challenge, but I think
he'd still be hilarious. I don't I do
not think that he is limited by his
weight.
>> You don't Okay. If Will Frell got like
Hugh Jackman, do you think he'd have the
same roles?
>> He would. He would ne wouldn't
necessarily have the same roles. He
would still be very funny.
>> Yes, he would. But you know perfectly
well that there's lots.
>> It would be weird because he would be
super jacked. Like if he got the rock
jacked,
>> right?
>> It would be weird.
>> People don't know how to deal with that
stuff.
>> Mhm.
>> So the agent's not wrong.
>> Well, the agent's still not looking out
for Kevin's health.
>> Was How big was he that big? He was big.
>> He was big and he didn't like it and he
was worried.
>> Yeah. Okay. That's very fair.
>> Yeah.
>> But you don't have to go from You could
go slimmer. You don't have to go to
like, you know, running peptides and
stuff,
>> right? You don't have to get jacked.
>> Yeah.
>> But maybe he wants to. You can. It could
be done.
>> I I mean, what's that guy who claims
he's natty? That Indian guy
>> who was in I think the Avengers or
something.
>> Oh, Camille.
>> Yeah. Was it him?
>> I don't think he claims he's natty. Does
he?
>> They do special.
>> It's special exercises, Joe. They just
come on. Does he really? He doesn't even
claim he's on testosterone replacement.
>> Don't you know that if you just do
lateral raises?
>> Uh,
>> yeah, he claims that. He He has to. They
all have to.
>> I don't know if that's real.
>> Yes, it does. Look him up.
>> He did a very funny bit about people
being angry at him for getting in shape.
>> Oh, okay.
>> Yeah, he did a funny bit in his standup.
His recent standup special about that.
Does he claim that he's natural?
>> That's weird.
>> Wait, the one I'm thinking of is in a
standup. The one from the movies.
>> Yeah, he's a stand up. He started out as
a standup.
>> Oh, good for him. Okay. Camil Nani,
right? Yeah. Yeah. He started out as a
standup. Yeah.
>> And he's doing standup again. He just
released a special.
>> What's his name? Claims Daddy, too. The
Thor. They all do.
>> No, that guy claims daddy.
>> They have to.
>> Chris Hemsworth.
>> I think he does.
>> Get the out of here. That guy
gained like 60 lbs of solid muscle.
>> Well, that's cuz he's doing lateral
raises, you fool.
>> Oh, I didn't know.
>> And you What? How do you know? You've
never seen him put a needle in his ass.
He has he has personal trainers that
teach him the second exercises.
>> You're right.
>> I've been on testosterone replacement
for a long time and I highly recommend
it to anybody who wants to stay in
shape.
>> How long have you been on it?
>> Since I was like almost 40. I started
with like the cream and then uh well I
noticed my my I was you know I was
training a lot. That was back then I was
doing jiu-jitsu four or five days a week
and I was lifting.
>> That's harder than the body. is hard of
course and you're always tired and you
know uh I had a doctor that specialized
in that stuff. It's one of those things
was
>> hormone replacement therapy and and
doing a lot of it for people that had
had head injuries because people with
head injuries uh people that have had uh
CTE and a lot of like you have damage to
your pituitary gland. A lot of times
your brain is not producing testosterone
at the level it's supposed to.
>> Oh, is that right? Okay. Yeah. Your
pituitary gland gets damaged from
repeated head trauma. That's one of the
things that causes depression in a lot
of people that have had head trauma is
like your body's not making hormones
anymore. So, you're just like you're
lethargic all the time. It's a
factor. His statements, he described a
year-long process with professional
trainers, nutritionists funded by
Marvel, daily workouts, precise calorie
tracking, no refined sugar, and minimum
fats. In his 2019 Instagram post, he
emphasized the resources required but
never mentioned peeds, steroids, or
denied their use. So he never denied it.
>> Okay. He didn't deny. So go. Okay. I I
take it back. I apologize.
>> Yeah. His from a softer build at age 41.
For sure he got on testosterone.
There was a lot of people that were
giving me about being on
testosterone like 15 years ago that are
on it now.
>> Yeah. No disrespect to him.
>> Well, there's nothing wrong with it. I
just said I do it.
>> No, that's the point at a certain point.
>> People It's just really funny when
people are yelling him, "Oh, you're
cheating." It's like cheating for what?
Where's the test?
>> People are silly. People are silly and
they're just they mad that he looks he
didn't look like he looked like them. He
was doughy and now all of a sudden he
looks like a bro and they don't like it.
>> Yeah. But the thing that's kind of crazy
is now the kids in high school are
hopping on.
>> That's crazy because you're going to
destroy your endocrine system.
>> And also if you're peaking at 18 that's
not going to be good for your mental
health.
>> Well, it's not just that. It's just like
it kills your dick. It kills your you
when you put a bunch of exogenous
testosterone in your body. Your body
stops making testosterone. And so say if
you're on a cycle for like a month, two
months, it will take you four months for
your body to get back to normal. It
takes I think that's the ratio most
people if you're not taking like
clomophene or any of these other things
or hCG or something that naturally ramps
up your testosterone. Um I think they
think that the number is like double the
time that you run.
If you keep running cycles, it gets
harder and harder
>> 100% because your body starts relying on
it and your endocrine system shuts down.
And it's like, why do we have to make
testosterone? This guy's got more than a
normal human ever has,
>> right?
>> And so we just stop.
>> And I think these numbers are through
the roof with the kids now.
>> Well, they all want to be like an
influencer. They all want to be jacked.
You know, it's just like you don't
understand the harm you're doing to your
body. But it's also the kind of thing
where it's just like you shouldn't be
comparing yourself to the guy on
Instagram,
>> right,
>> or the gym. You compare yourself to the
guy in the plane next time you're at an
airport. That's what I do. That's what
kind of helped me when I get on a
flight. I'm like, how many of these
people, especially my age, are in good
shape? It's going to be one out of 100.
>> Well, the other thing is there's
especially when you're young, there's
plenty of stuff that you can do that's
natural and super beneficial and not
dangerous. Like creatine creatine is
tremendous.
You're not going to be a name
>> a name.
>> No one's going to notice you on
Instagram. That's the thing. They're
chasing the fame.
>> Oh, that's so sad.
>> It's very sad. It's very It's I mean,
some of these guys look better than
Schwarzenegger and they're 17.
It's insane. But it's just like what's
your future going to
>> Well, you're not going to have kids,
right? You're going to be sterile.
You're not going to have any sperm.
>> But that, you know, there was that thing
about they asked Olympians, would you
give up like 20 years of your life if
you're guaranteed a gold? And like 90%
of them said yes.
>> Yeah. Like
>> I know. Well, look at Lindsay Vaughn. I
mean, she knew that she had a blown ACL
and she still skied.
>> Is that right?
>> Yeah. She blew her ACL out like a couple
of weeks before the Olympics and still
decided to compete and then shattered
her leg with this horrible compound
fracture.
>> Oh my god.
>> Oh, you didn't know about that? No.
>> Oh yeah. She had to get airlifted. She's
had multiple surgeries. She's for
a long time. Her leg broke in multiple
places. She's got rods and stuff in it.
And leg breaks are really scary because
your body doesn't necessarily always
heal from those. Like sometimes the
blood flow is not appropriate. It's not
it's not what you need. And people get
their legs amputated from those things.
>> Jesus.
>> Yeah. Femur breaks are super dangerous.
>> I've never broken a bone and I'm part of
Ever.
>> I know, right?
>> That's crazy.
>> Yeah.
>> Nothing.
>> A part of me is like, is this something
I want to try before I die? Like it's
sucks.
>> Does it? I But s How bad is it?
>> Well, I broke my arm when I was seven. I
broke my forearm right here. I fell off
a monkey bar and snapped my forearm in
half. That healed perfect. But when your
kid, you're a kid, they just put me in a
cast and like six weeks later I was good
to go. Um, I broke my fibula, the small
bone of my tibia in uh, sparring. A
friend of mine threw a back kick at the
same time. I was throwing a kick and his
heel hit my my fibula and it cracked
that. But that was only a crack. I
actually competed with that. I put
soccer pads on it. those plastic soccer
I taped soccer instep pads that part of
my I didn't tell anybody. Oh, okay.
>> Because it was a taekwondo tournament so
I had pants on and so I put like a
regular um these soccer pads. I taped
them to my calf and then I put the foam
one on over that and I competed.
>> Huh. Okay.
>> I won the states that way.
>> Okay, great. Were you a national
champion? I won uh American Open and I
came in second place in the US Cup
against the national champion and I
think I should have beat him. I got a
bad decision. Um but I never won the
national championships. But at the time
that I was getting ready to try to win
the national championships in ' 88, the
problem was I had already been
disillusioned because I had started
kickboxing. Okay.
>> And I'd already started like realizing
there's a lot of holes in taekwond do.
>> Well, taekwondo is like with the rise of
UFC, it's really not good. It is if you
know all the other stuff because those
kicks are devastating. They're
devastating. And a guy who's a really
good kicker like a Michael Venom Paige
for for instance who's a karate
specialist who learned how to defend
takedowns, they're really dangerous
because they have the ability to cover
distance and kick at range. And if
you're not a good kicker and you don't
recognize what this guy's doing, they
could you up, right?
>> But there was so many holes in Taekwondo
when it came to like punching to the
face and then leg kicks. I didn't
realize like how many holes there were
in it until I started really getting
into kickboxing. So I was by the time 88
rolled around, I was already
disillusioned.
>> Huh. Okay.
>> You know, and then I was already
starting to do stand up, so I was like,
what am I doing with my life, you know?
>> Oh, I got a bone to pick with you.
>> Oh, I'm excited.
>> Oh, you you set me up perfectly. Okay.
>> You set me up perfectly. I was I Thank
you, Joe Rogan. Bridge of Fetesy sat in
this very chair, the chair I'm farting
in right now because of my I had some
vintage Oolene chips from eBay and it's
this chair is going to be a disaster
chair. I know.
>> Um and she told you that I'm starting to
do standup and you said that's great.
He's so funny. He could open for me. And
then I was all excited about this
opportunity and I te and I wait a few
weeks because I was scared to like
whatever and you text me about some meme
and I go
>> first of all I don't think I said you
could open for me. I highly doubt I said
that.
>> You did but that's fine. I'm not holding
you to it. I'm just saying you said
that. That's fine. Um
>> maybe I was joking.
>> I'm not holding you to it. You were just
encouraging. Okay, let's just leave it
there.
>> I think you're very funny.
>> Okay. You text me that's a meme. I go,
"Hey, I'm going to do standup." You go,
"You absolutely should. You're very
funny." I go, "I have my set. What
should I do next?" Do you know what you
said?
>> What? Nothing.
>> Yeah.
>> You left me unreg.
>> You're on your own,
>> What do you mean?
>> Cuz you got to figure it out. It's like,
you know, I want to start fighting. What
should I do? You know what to do. Go to
the gym.
>> Figure it out. Start training. Don't I
can't hold anybody's hand. Standup is
too hard for you to help someone in the
beginning. You've got to actually want
to do it. So, you got to go to open
mics. You got to do standup. You got to
get ready, put a set together, record
it, review it.
>> Done it.
>> Okay.
>> Yeah.
>> So, you're doing standup all the time?
>> Not all. You're saying I should do it
all the You have to do it all the time.
It's like if you want to spar, you have
to spar every week.
>> Do you know what everyone told me who I
asked? Like I asked like 10 like big
name biggest bigish people who are names
and they all said the same thing. You
have to bomb.
>> Yeah. Well, bombing is good because it
lets you realize how difficult it is and
then you don't like the feeling. So you
work really hard
>> and also you know you have to be ready
for that moment and how to recover from
it.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Failure failure I think in
everything is good. Losing is important.
It's very important. It it it motivates
you to do better. You know, people don't
like that feeling, but there all a lot
of uncomfortable feelings lead to growth
and that's why they're important.
>> That's true.
>> Heartbreak, losing a job, getting fired,
you know, all those things are
important.
>> Okay. Well,
>> yeah, standup's important to It's
important to have like bad sets.
>> I think you said bad sex.
>> Bad sets.
>> Yes, sex.
>> So, when was the last time you went up?
>> I haven't done it for a while because I
didn't know what to do.
>> Yeah. You got to do it a lot. It's got
to be something that you're dedicated
to. That's why I'm saying you can't just
>> say do. Okay. That's fair. That's very
fair. I've been talking to Ken. He's
been been very helpful.
>> Yeah. Just there's plenty of places we
could perform. I mean, Austin alone on
my street alone on Sixth Street is
there's like within a oneb block radius
like seven clubs.
>> I'm not arguing that.
>> I mean, this is the place. If you want
to do standup, this is the
place, man. I mean, it's incredible
right now.
>> Fair enough. I mean, my club alone has
two nights of open mic nights.
>> Is that true?
>> Uh-huh. Sunday and Monday night are both
open mic nights.
>> Okay. Then I'm going to sign up.
>> Yeah. We have a real development
program. The whole idea is like to make
it so that we have like a a real
foundation of people that are coming up
and that motivates all the people that
are already doing well. It's like, oh,
these guys are like really working hard
and it gets everybody excited about
working hard and then it motivates the
people at the top saying, hey, these
young guys are really good. And then
guys start getting specials and like Cam
Patterson just got on SNL. All these
things are happening for people from the
club. So it's like it's a great place.
>> Okay. No, that's fine. That's very fair.
>> Yeah, but it's not something that you
can kind of casually do every now and
again. You can, but you won't be as good
as you will be if you do it every week.
>> That's Ken said that as well. He's like,
you have to put in the time. This is not
something that you could do just on uh
uh weekends.
>> Yeah. can't like run around your block
once a month and think you can go do a
marathon,
>> right?
>> Yeah. You got to get into and you got to
the the thing about standup is like
you're making a mountain one layer of
paint at a time. It's it's not it's not
a quick process to become a standup.
Most people agree and this is not a hard
fast rule because it's depending upon
how much actual time you do and how much
focus and but the general rule is 10
years.
>> Really?
>> Yeah. The general rule is 10 years. Like
people don't really think of you as
being legit until you've been in it for
10 years.
>> I don't know that I have 10 years.
>> I don't know if anybody has 10 years. I
don't know if the human race has 10
years.
>> I I
>> You see those robots in China that are
doing kung fu?
>> Are there already?
>> Oh my god. They just did this
demonstration. this martial arts
demonstration with these robots on a
stage. I'm
>> It's crazy how how they move.
>> I'm more worried about if anyone can use
AI to engineer a boweapon.
>> Oh, that Yeah, that's real.
>> Because there's a I there was a piece a
guy, I forget his name, I apologize,
where he was he's one of these big AI
people, and he goes, "If you use the
paid for AI," he goes, "I can tell it to
write me code, and it also knows like
idiosyncratic preferences." So, it's
better than hiring a person and that's
today.
>> Yeah.
>> So, what's going to happen in two years,
three years? Like, how do you put guard
rails on that? I don't think you can.
>> I don't think you can. And there's a lot
of people that are resigning from a lot
of these companies that are saying we're
doomed.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> I'm not a doom and gloom kind of guy,
but that I think is a much faster path
toward something happening than, you
know, robots, kung fu robots. Well,
there's also automated rep weapons,
weapon systems that are totally
autonomous. That's Yes, the government's
working on that. And I believe there was
an issue. See if you can find this with
one of the AI companies not willing to
partner with the U or not willing to do
something with autonomous weapons
programs. I think it's Anthropic.
>> Oh, wow.
>> Yeah, I think anthropic was like, uh, we
don't think that's good. And all the
other ones are like, "Let's go."
>> Holy Yeah.
>> Yeah. Well, the thing is, is China doing
that? They probably are. Anthropic is
clashing with the Pentagon over AI use.
Here's what each side wants. Anthropic's
relationship with the Department of
Defense is
>> uh is under review as the two sides
negotiate over how the company's AI
models can be used. Startup wants
assurance that its models will not be
used for autonomous weapons or mass
surveillance. Oh my god, these pop-ups
are brutal. Um, you, CNBC. Uh, the
DoD wants to use anthropic models for
all lawful use cases without limitation.
>> According to uh, Emil Michael, the under
secretary of war for research and
engineering.
>> Holy crap.
>> Yeah. So, this is what they're doing.
And
>> so, which is worse, autonomous weapons
or mass surveillance? I think it's mass
surveillance, don't they?
>> Both of them are terrible.
>> Yeah. Which is worse, though? Because
>> they work hand and glove. Both of them
are terrible. I mean, did you see Alex
Karp that that uh interview that he did
where he was talking about Palunteer and
he's like, "We're gonna, you know, and
occasionally kill people. We're going to
use it to kill people."
>> Yeah.
>> That's what he said.
>> Right. And Right. But he was like openly
saying, "Kill people." Like this is what
we're doing. Like what? But I I did you
see that big leak from Palunteer which I
don't know if it's been verified or not
where they were talking Kim.com was the
one who uh uh who dropped this.
>> Yes, I did see that Kim.com tweeted
about it but I didn't see if it was
verified. What did he say exactly?
>> I don't J if you could pull it was a
long it was a long long thing and it was
very because he said Palanter got
hacked. He said he doesn't have I don't
think it was verified that this was
legitimate, but these were the bullet
points he laid out and it was extremely
disturbing. I've it's not surprising
that a private company is going to be
more effective and efficient than the
government at implementing what the
government wants. A lot of the things
during co wasn't literally the
government. These corporations were more
than happy to impose these kind of you
know don't if you don't get the vaccine
so-called you're going to get fired.
>> Well, they were all having backdoor
deals.
>> Exactly. But they they were more than
happy to do it. They were they were
being incentivized,
>> right?
>> Which is crazy. But
>> the the thing about this AI stuff that
no one realizes except for the engineers
that are deeply invested in this is that
it's accelerating at this tremendously
rapid pace that they can't really
control. Chat GPT5. I was reading this
article. Chat GPT made chat GPT5.
They essentially tasked the AI to make a
better version of itself. Make sure
that's true.
>> I'm pretty sure that's what they're
saying.
>> Right now for free, if you put any photo
on Grom Imagine, it animates it and it
looks realistic.
>> Yeah.
>> Like instantly.
>> For free.
>> There's a video of me and Keano Reeves
doing kung fu in this room.
>> Like he's dressed up like John Wick, but
it looks real. I'm sure
>> it looks very real. It's like a scene
from John Wick. It's like we're we're
doing like movie style kung fu in this
room.
>> And the average person can't distinguish
between what is on their screen and what
is outside their window,
>> right? And for the human brain, they're
going to memor remember it and perceive
it as something that they had seen
before, right? It is a very scary thing.
I remember something that clicked in my
head. Survivor season one. So that was
like 2000, I think it was 2001.
>> They had the second to last episode.
There's four contestants left and they
go, "Next week on Survivor." And Sue
turns to Kelly and she goes, "We got to
vote out Richard."
>> And I was on a message board at the time
and one of the people go, they're like,
"Who do you think's going to be
eliminated?" One goes, "Oh, I think
they're going to vote out Richard. Did
you hear what Sue said? We all heard it.
This wasn't eavesdropping. This was a
sound clip that the editor left in.
There was nothing else to hear. In fact,
you could only hear what Sue said to
Kelly. And that was such a wakeup moment
for me. Like, holy people really
think they're on that beach and they
heard something they weren't supposed
to. It was it was
>> But you laugh. But there will be people
who tell you right now with a straight
face and I think they could pass a lie
detector test easily that Trump said we
should inject bleach and Trump said I'm
praising very fine people white
nationalists and you could play the tape
they will not perceive it. They're not
lying. Right.
>> And I think that's a big hurdle for a
lot of people to accept. People honestly
are perceiving things that you're not.
>> That's true. Yeah. And they're also only
looking at headlines or only looking at
narratives. They get a tweet, they read
the tweet. Oh my god, I can't believe
they're doing this and then they put it
down. They're too busy. They're not
going to do deep dives.
>> It's not that they're too busy. It's
that their preconception has been
validated. They think they're not
running a true false filter. They're
running an US them filter.
>> Right. That's right. That's right.
>> Trump's thousands of times the Epstein
files. There you go. What else do I need
to tell you?
>> That's it. Yeah. Very fine people on
both sides. I mean, Obama said that
during the campaign.
>> When he said that during the campaign,
I'm like, that's crazy.
>> Well, Biden said that was his reason for
running.
You don't remember that?
>> You see in the in the Epste file,
someone said that Biden's dead
>> and that saying that Epste's alive.
>> Yeah, that might be real.
>> I don't know how they pull that off.
>> Um,
>> I'm not here's the thing. I'm sorry to
interrupt you. Whenever I hear something
that's out there, I'm not saying it's
ridiculous. I always say to myself, what
steps would need to be taken for this to
be true? Right? So, if you're going to
keep Epstein alive, and he's obviously
extremely visible, his face and very
known, how do you keep that guy under
wraps? would be the question I would
have.
>> You move him to Israel and you get
plastic surgery.
>> You think so? That's it.
>> Yeah. Look, Renee Zelwigger looks
different.
>> That's true.
>> And she's a movie star. Like,
she kind of ruined her career by making
herself look prettier.
>> So, well, no, she got she looks Asian
now. She's got all those weird. No, she
got all those big cheeks and her eyes
are all like small now.
>> What did she do? Let's take a look at
>> She's all puffy faced. Yeah.
>> Like people said that Bradley Cooper did
something,
>> but he came in here. here. He looked
completely normal. It's just
weird pictures online. Like maybe one
day he was tired, one day really did
>> she did something. Bradley Cooper looks
exactly like Bradley Cooper to me. Yeah.
Okay.
>> Like she did something weird. She was so
cute.
>> She looks like that.
>> Look at her in 2009. She was so cute.
And then
>> who's that annoying lefty lady who's a
podcaster?
>> I don't know.
>> Yes, you do. The one who was a real
housewife and now she's like
>> Oh, yeah. I don't know her name, but
she's awful.
>> Yeah, she's a heel. She's does a great
job being a heel.
>> She's great at that. Everyone
lock them all up.
>> Right. Yeah. Yeah. She looks
anymore. And she's very angry.
>> That's who she looks like now.
>> Let me see that again.
>> I'm just looking at other photos.
>> Other photos.
>> Okay. The one on the far right. She's
still pretty,
but there's there's definitely a change
in her face.
>> But look at that fifth photo. She's
>> Jennifer Gray is a better example.
>> Well, she's got a nose job. But after
that nose job, her career kind of
stopped.
>> Well, no. Linda Evans is the worst of
this. Can you pull up Linda Evans? Linda
Evans from the Terminator.
>> From Dynasty.
>> Oh, Linda Hamilton Terminator.
>> Yeah, Linda Evans is really
>> Linda Hamilton is awesome in
Stranger Things. What did she do?
>> I mean, she looks horrific.
>> Well, she's old, man.
>> Yeah, but there's plenty of old people
who don't look like that.
>> She doesn't look like she did anything.
>> She sued.
>> She sued for plastic surgery.
>> Yeah. Look at that one right there,
Jamie. Yeah. Pull that up.
>> I did. I'm just
>> It's bad
>> YouTube video.
Well, that's just I don't see where does
it say
>> the one right under that. The red one.
See that? Yeah. Pull that up. See?
>> Uh finding peace and happiness growing
older in the Northwest. Well, that just
looks like an older lady.
>> But she doesn't look like herself at
all.
>> But she's older.
>> But I She had a lot of effed up work.
Maybe she had some of it reversed.
>> Maybe.
>> Well, you're saying that's not
>> that one's not that shocking to me.
That's just an older lady. I don't think
I think it's quite shocking because I
think it looks bad.
>> No disrespect to her.
>> I mean, that's the difference between a
30-year-old lady and a
70-year-old lady.
>> There's plenty of 70-y old lady who
don't look like a like protein bars.
>> I don't know that I don't think that's
the best example. I think the Rene Okay.
What has Linda done to her face
>> from like tabloids, right? Doesn't even
>> Okay. So, it might not be true.
>> There's a lot of cases like this, you
know? It's it's whatever.
>> Yeah.
What was the point? How do we get on
that?
>> What were we talking about? Kiana Reeves
the uh Rene Zelwagger.
>> I was on chat. I was looking up chat GPT
stuff and then switched to that.
>> Okay. Yeah, chat GBT5. Did chat GPT code
chat GPT5?
>> That's I don't I don't even know how to
search that. I don't know the right
search term to look that up because it's
not I'm not getting anywhere.
>> If you ask that question, it doesn't
>> I chat GPT5 makes itself better, you
know. I don't there's there's something
that I was trying to dig into about that
singularity stuff.
>> It's called like self-correcting loops
or something like that, but I'm not
getting anywhere with that. It's that's
not the right.
>> This was the this was the concern about
AI was that eventually AI would become
sensient and autonomous and would create
better versions of itself and it would
do it very quickly,
>> right?
>> And I think we're in that right now. I
think what we're getting from these
engineers is an indication that the
people that are deeply involved in this
are disturbed by the power of
this stuff. They essentially say that
they don't have a job anymore. They just
kind of show up and it does the work for
them and that this is far more potent
than what the general public is aware
of.
>> So,
>> and getting better all the time. We're
at the point now where Grock is a better
conversationalist
and better at perceiving nuance and
humor than the average person. A lot of
times if I have a tweet and some
creatine comes in with some response, I
will just say, "Hey Grock, explain to
this person such and such and such and I
leave it for Grock to be like a tart
handler and I do this every single day."
But the point is, if I'm being humorous,
maybe my jokes aren't that funny. Point
being, Grock understands that I'm being
humorous. Even this person isn't or is
pretending not to. So what happens when
the average person, what are they
bringing to the table,
>> right? What are they bringing to the
table?
>> What about artists too? Like the AI arts
getting better every single day. Like I
did a book where I used AI for the
cover. It's like what are you going to
do with you're going to have a certain
number of people who are good at like
massaging it and you know get having
great ideas but at a certain point
there's only so much you can do.
>> Did you see what the Door brothers did?
>> No. They just released. They're these
really good AI artists. They're the guys
who do all the intros to the Kill Tony
videos.
>> They're awesome. And they just
made like a Hollywood movie and they did
it in like a day, right,
>> with AI. See if you can find that clip
cuz it went viral and everybody's kind
of freaking out. They're like
Hollywood's done cuz this clip is
insane. It's It's so realistic looking.
>> The other thing is by the time we're all
wrapping our heads around it, it's
already 6 months ago.
>> Mhm.
>> That's what's crazy. And it's far better
than it was then.
>> They put out another one today.
>> Let me see.
>> Put the headphones on.
>> Okay. Yes, sir.
>> Go full screen. Back it up.
>> Pause.
>> This is all AI.
>> Yeah.
Holy crap.
>> Holy crap.
Whoa.
>> What the
Holy
Holy
I don't
>> Wow.
>> I don't think it's a good idea for
humans to casually
>> This is the other one they did. Check
this one out.
>> Really busy. Can you get Sophia today?
>> What? No. I have a meeting. I can't.
>> Oh
>> This is all AI.
>> Reporting what is being called a
geomagnetic storm. This is a phenomenon
caused by a massive becomes available.
Stay tuned to this channel for
continuous coverage.
God, look at her face. Looks so
realistic.
I don't like this.
Sophia.
>> Mom,
>> I love you. I'm on my way.
>> Oh my god.
>> I need you to hide. Get underground.
>> I can't watch.
Oh my god.
It's a great cybert truck ad.
People point online, you can hear the
engine, which is No, but you can hear
the engine when it does that. It makes a
weird humming noise.
>> Good morning, sleeping beauty.
Why don't you get the president on the
phone?
>> We have her.
>> What the
>> I'll be right there.
>> Oh my god.
>> I don't like this at all. I don't like
that at all.
>> I don't think the sound was AI. Some of
it could have been, but mixed too good
and all that stuff.
>> I don't think it's a good thing for
people to casually be seeing footage of
people being shot in the face. Like I'm
on YouTube.
>> Well, they've already got that.
>> I'm saying it's not a good thing.
>> Check out this video that I just sent
you, Jamie.
>> Okay.
>> There's a lot of I watch a lot of police
body cam videos on YouTube.
>> Oh, yeah.
>> And you see people on killed. And it's
just like
>> are we not having conversation the
effect of the human mind of just
watching real people getting killed left
and right all the time.
>> I know.
>> Young people.
>> There's a lot of that.
>> Like I don't like seeing I mean watching
>> Check this out.
>> Okay. Oh Jesus. Okay.
I was just asking about the pencil
trick.
>> This is crazy.
This is crazy. Oh, there's Shane. Okay.
Wow.
>> Weird.
>> But I don't like you you don't see
anything wrong with just casually
showing planes flying into buildings.
Yeah.
>> Well, all movies do that though.
>> I don't think that's Yeah, but the thing
is this is how you kind of borrow the
frog,
>> but they've always done that in action
movies.
>> I don't think to that level is is to
have anyone be able to make this the
drop of a hat. I'm not saying it should
be banned. I'm just saying I think at a
certain point if 24/7 we're seeing right
>> dozens of people getting killed,
>> Yeah.
>> it's going to have an effect on
>> people's psyches.
>> No question. And I don't think that's a
good effect.
>> Well, it's what we have now before this.
Not good.
>> Do you know what else is up?
We're not even talking about what this
kind of porn is going to look like.
>> Right. Right. And porn with any like you
or Jamie. You and Jamie could be
in a video
>> that I'm talking about
>> what I'm talking about. Snuff films.
>> Oh, right. Right. Yeah.
>> You can make porn right now. You're
doing the girl, then you cut her head
off or cut body parts off.
>> Yeah. Just pull out a shotgun as soon as
you pull off a knife.
>> Yeah. Anything. Yeah.
>> And it'll look really realistic. And you
have no way of We're still apes. You
>> people probably already making that
child porn. They're probably
>> Well, that I know the the investigators
already don't have the tools to
distinguish between real videos of
infants and AI videos of of infants.
>> And this is again, this has been a
bridge that's been crossed and like no
one knows what to say or do about it.
It's just like we're kind of just
binking and it's here.
>> Well, it's not just here. It's here and
growing and getting stronger all the
time and we're all just plowing head
first forward towards the cliff.
>> And what what's going to happen when
this started kind of stuff gets um uh uh
um matched up with psychedelics?
>> Well, it's not just that. It's like what
happens when this stuff starts running
all of our resources, running our
economy, running everything,
>> right?
>> Because that's what's going to happen.
It's going to be our government.
>> Well, I mean, right that Who is that?
the creepy line guy.
>> Creepy line.
>> There was that documentary, The Creepy
Line. Uh Robert something Malone, I
think his name was. He's he's an
academic. His point, he went through
Google and he goes, "Look, if I'm
Google, right, and I and I or I'm
Facebook and I have people who are like
Trump and people who like Hillary. So if
I just put out, hey, you should vote and
send it just to the Hillary people." I'm
not on paper endorsing Hillary.
>> Robert Epste.
>> Robert Epste. Thank you.
>> Oh, that guy. We've had that guy on
multiple times,
>> right? But then you're going to be
getting out that vote in the direction
you want.
>> Well, his concern is Google searches.
>> Sure.
>> So like if you search Trump, it's all
negative stories. If you search Hillary,
it was also I've talked to him also
about the the Facebook stuff. If you're
promoting go and vote and you have this
group versus that group, it could nudge
it
>> very easily. So it's that technology is
already here and been used
>> and been used. That's real election
manipulation that's already legal and
being used for whatever reason. So,
well, you know what reason? But but
>> but I also but you know curated search
engines are a real problem if
you're if you're hiding certain
information. Like I noticed that during
the pandemic there was a story about a
doctor in Florida that got vaccinated
and then really quickly afterwards had a
stroke and died. And I I read the story
and a lot of people were concerned about
it. And then I tried to find it on
Google. I could not find it. I could not
find it. I looked everywhere. Then I
looked on duck.go and I found it
immediately.
>> Wow. And then some it was in the first
page and then somewhere along the line
duck.go got weird too.
>> Oh Jesus. Okay.
>> Yeah. So it's like they realized that
people were finding things on duck and
then that I believe is duck.go curated
or did they just have open source?
>> What are they saying? And then I started
using Brave and Brave was showing me
things that other other search engines
weren't showing me. But then the other
hand if are they show you have the
problem of is it showing you things that
are just not true.
>> Right. But I was searching for a very
specific story.
>> Right. Right. You're definitely going to
get a lot of that especially if there's
like look the Hunter Biden laptop story.
They got
>> 51 different former intelligence agents
to say that it was Russian
disinformation.
>> Not curated in the sense of building a
personalized filter bubble based on user
history. But it does curate results by
ranking.
>> Yeah.
>> I don't know how you can really avoid
that though. Right. It's curating,
indexing, and filtering from hundreds of
sources, including Bing. Bing's not
good.
>> It has to put things
>> to provide what it deems relevant, what
it deems relevant. Unlike Google, it
avoids user tracking and
personalization, providing a more
neutral, non-personalized search
experience, but also curated by ranking.
No user profiling does not store search
history or all I know is that there was
a difference in the way it worked for
me. It doesn't mean that it's
>> there has to be some ranking process.
Yeah.
>> It can't just, you know, it's going to
have things in order no matter what
search engine,
>> right? When you're looking for something
very specific,
>> that is Yeah, that's obviously
>> Google would not show me that article. I
I put in all the facts of that. I could
not find it. All it was saying was the
benefits of getting the COVID vaccine.
>> Has it gotten better or worse?
>> I don't know.
>> We don't know. How would we know?
>> I don't know. I mean, but you should be
disturbed at Rob at uh Robert Epstein's
work because Robert Epstein's work shows
that with just this curated search
result, you can shift all these centrist
voters, all these middle of the pack
voters, these swing voters, you can
shift them by
>> I think it was 2%.
>> I think it's larger.
>> And point being Trump won by one
>> was 9% or something crazy.
>> Even let's be conservative say two.
Trump by one one and a half.
>> Yeah. Yeah. So it's and I don't think
things are looking good for the
Republicans going forward.
>> Well, it doesn't look good for the
midterms, right? Oh, that's
>> I mean, this ICE stuff is doing a great
job for that because a lot of people are
like, "Hey, we're moving towards fascism
>> and the perception of the economy."
>> Yeah.
>> The thing with the ICE stuff, it's like
people, you know, voters can have
contradictory perspectives like they
want to get rid of illegal aliens, but
don't force them out. It's like, what
are you gonna do? Send them a strongly
worded letter? Well, I think the real
problem is they're not willing to
address the fact that these are paid
protests and agitators. Sure. And that
these people, it's not this is not an
organic thing where people are taking to
the streets. They're literally being
paid. These people have come out and
said, "You get X amount of money. You
get $100 a day. If it's cold out, you
get more money." One of the things
people were saying that I don't know if
it's true at all was like, "This might
be horshit." They were saying they gave
them decel meters to see how loud they
were yelling
>> who where
>> protesters really that they were
providing protesters with these decel
meters and for them to or in order to
get paid they had to be yelling at a
certain decel. I was like this sounds
like disinformation.
>> Yeah. That I feel like how much are
those things? How much is a
decel meter? That sounds like very like
a problem in terms of like cost,
>> right? And you could if I had that I'd
sell on eBay, right? Right.
>> Thousands of people and you're providing
them with these decu, I would think.
>> Right. Yeah. It sounded like horseshit,
but there's a lot of horseshit out
there. There's a lot of people that they
do interviews and they just make up fake
stuff just for clickbait.
>> But the thing is there I think people
are I agree with you or like over ice,
but it's like what's your plan B,
>> right?
>> The amnesty. Like if that's your
argument, that's fine. But it's just
like it's not a tenable situation. I
mean, look what's going on overseas.
Like, what are you going to do? Like,
right now, there's a guy who's running
against Farage from the right of him.
And it's like, you're going to break up
that vote. Like, it's called Restore
Britain.
>> Oh, what is he saying?
>> He's saying he's like, Farage is too
soft. We're going to deport them all
blah blah blah. It's just like like how
would like fine, I understand that's
your argument. Literally, how are you
going to do that without mass
enforcement? I'm not saying I'm for it
or against it. I'm just saying what is
your plan? It's not. It's easy to
promise if I'm in a country that's
awesome, I don't want to go back to my
hole. Like, I'm going to do
whatever I can legally and sometimes
extra legally to make sure I'm staying.
>> Especially people over there that have
been encouraged to go there, right? And
then they bend the laws in order to kind
of hide their crimes,
>> right?
>> One of the best things that happened to
me was uh December 31st, 2024. So, it
was the beginning of 2025. I was on
Twitter and you heard about these
grooming gangs overseas and even me who
writes a lot about the nature of evil
was naive because when you hear the term
grooming I thought okay these high
school girls have these you know
boyfriends from from different countries
and like 30 whatever and it's gross and
whatever and then I s someone posted the
receipts of the legal cases these were
girls children eight-year-olds 10
whatever being violated and beaten with
baseball bats they were complaining to
police. The police said everything's
fine. Like really graphic stuff. And I'm
like, how stupid I was to think grooming
meant what anyone else thinks of
grooming. These are rape and torture
gangs. And then Elon saw my tweet and he
blew a gasket. And then they kind of
talked about it in parliament. So it was
a great way to start 2025, but like
where is it all going? You know what I
mean? Like people are upset. But
>> you know, Kirsty's in jail. Like he
things he's in trouble for aren't stuff
like this. The entire Labor party voted
against further inquiry. It's like some
of these guys got prison sentences, but
they're not anywhere near proportionate.
And why are they still in the UK?
>> I just don't understand it. I just don't
understand. Like what what's the endgame
there,
>> right? Like what is like
>> is it the destruction of the UK? Like
what's the endg game?
>> That's sure what it's that's well if
that's isn't their goal, that's sure
where they are headed toward,
>> right? If you were trying to destroy the
UK, that's how you would do it. Bring in
violent migrants. Let them do violent
crimes. Don't prosecute them. prosecute
people for complaining about it online
>> and don't uh bring them into your
country and and kind of uh assimilate
them,
>> right?
>> Like encourage them to not assimilate.
>> Yeah.
>> So, I was just there in in August. It's
bad as people think it is. It's even
worse.
>> Really?
>> It was There was a um a theater a block
away from the House of Parliament and
they were bragging that seeing their
shows are safe. Not fun for the whole
family. Not, you know, oh, this is
educational. You're not going to get
murdered if you come see a play here.
This that really shouldn't be a selling
point when you're going to the movies or
theater. Excuse me.
>> Crazy.
>> Yeah. And it's only getting getting
worse.
So, it's it's it's I don't and I don't
But here's the other thing. Let's talk
about America, right? If you want to get
rid of all these illegal immigrants,
what is your mechanism? Because there if
what Trump is doing is too much, there's
no al the alternatives to make it
difficult for them. So, they remigrate.
But there's plenty of people who would I
can certainly understand it. I'd rather
be an illegal immigrant in America than
go back to whatever hell hole.
>> Right.
>> I found the video talking about decimal
meters. They were around.
>> That was a joke. Okay.
>> And Grock says they were satizing.
>> Uh paid protesters with the uh the the
>> decel meters.
>> Yeah, the decibel meters. That sounds
ridiculous.
>> Yeah. The whole thing was is
bullshitting. Yeah, that makes sense
because I was like, there's no way.
There's no way they're giving people
decibel meters. But that's also just
clickbait.
>> What would you do with the illegal
immigrants?
>> It's a good question, you know. Um, the
real problem is that they let 10 million
people plus in over the last four years.
And
that's the thing that no one wants to
address. Like the only reason why there
is this problem is because we had a
open border for 4 years where
they actually encouraged people to come
in and they let in a bunch of violent
criminals and people have been killed,
women have been raped, children have
been killed. This is and they want to
hide that data because they don't want
to be held responsible for what they did
over the last four years. um the fact
that that doesn't get the kind of
outrage that it should. But then an ICE
protester shooting a guy who was armed.
Do you know what really is going on with
the the gun community about that guy who
got that Alex Prey guy? Right.
>> Do you know the story?
>> Well, I know that what's his name? Uh
got fired correctly. Yes.
>> For saying, "Well, you shouldn't bring
guns to fight the police." And all the
2A people are like, "Are you crazy?" The
whole point of the 2A is against the
police,
>> right? But that guy, so they disarmed
him. He was carrying a Sig P320.
>> Okay.
>> Sig P320s are notorious for accidentally
discharging. It appears, at least in
videos that I've seen, and some people
seem to verify this, that as one of the
officers pulls the gun from him and
walks away with it, it accidentally
discharges.
>> Okay?
>> They think this guy has a gun still cuz
they just pulled a gun from him. A gun
went off. They think they're in a
gunfight. Everything's happening split
second. They empty on that guy. The two
guys who kills them, both of them
Mexican guys,
>> right? Did you see? They look like
people. Did you not see them?
>> I didn't see they showed their actual
faces.
>> Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's on my Twitter. If
you scroll back a few days, Jamie, they
look like I said the village. It looks
straight up village people.
>> But what's crazy is how many Latinos are
in ICE.
>> Why is that crazy that Trump got the
Latino vote?
>> Well, it's not just that. It's like it's
a really well-paying job and they give
you a big bonus to sign,
>> I think. What is the bonus when you sign
for ICE?
I think it's like a great incentive.
>> But here's the other why why that debate
drives me crazy. If there's a hospital,
right, and there's a nurse who's killing
patients, which happens that happens.
You have these like black widow
situations. No one's going to say shut
down the hospital or stop medicine. So
even if this was a firstdegree murder,
let's assume for the sake of argument,
that doesn't mean you should abolish
ICE. It just means that guy should go to
jail. Why does one thing have to do the
other? Look at this. Signing bonus up to
$50,000.
>> $60,000 in student loan repayment up to
25% in premium pay. I don't know what
that means.
>> Probably overtime, maybe.
>> Premium pay. 25%. What does that mean? I
don't know. But either way, just the
$50,000 bonus. How many people are
willing to take that job just for that?
And then $60,000 in student loan
repayment.
>> That's great on your resume.
>> Yeah. Well, you get your student loans
paid off and you get a $50,000 bonus.
Holy
>> Right.
>> You you can get a lot of people to do
that.
>> And job security.
>> Yeah. And you can wear mask.
>> It seems like a job like macho guys
would enjoy.
>> Sure. And if you're desperate for work
and if you can't find work and then all
a sudden this is like an answer to all
your financial problems. A lot of people
are going to do it.
>> So, but again, what's
>> you're also like very undertrained. Like
they only train for seven weeks.
>> Is that right?
>> Yeah.
>> But what's the answer though? No one has
an answer.
>> Right. That's a good question because
Yeah. Well, there are a lot of violent
criminals in this country that did get
in over the last four years that do need
to be removed. So, what are you going to
do?
>> But what do you do about the nonviolent
ones?
>> Well, here's the thing. There was an
interesting um statistic. I think I sent
it to you, Jamie, where they were saying
only 14% of these people that they've
arrested are violent criminals.
>> Okay?
>> But that that's what they didn't say is
that 60% of the people that they
arrested had criminal history. And when
you say nonviolent,
nonviolent meaning what? What about
strong armed robbery? What about a guy
pulls a gun on you? That's is that how
are you classifi?
>> I bet it's not if you don't cause
violence.
>> No, there's no way a armed robbery isn't
a violent crime.
>> If you do not cause violence, I wonder
if they're categorizing it as violence.
Like if you do not shoot someone, stab
someone, beat someone, so you're not
convicted of a violent crime. You're
convicted of robbery.
>> Why? Because they're doing everything in
their power to make the gun violence
numbers as high as possible. So if
there's any opportunity where a gun is
involved, that will be counted as gun
violence
>> perhaps. But you could rob people with a
knife,
>> you know? I mean, does that count? If
you pull a knife on someone, is that and
you rob them, is that considered a
violent crime?
>> I I bet you it is.
>> I wonder. But either way, the the the
misleading aspect of the article was
that only 14% were violent criminals.
But is that okay that the other
46% are breaking into people's houses
and robbing cars and
>> but what about that?
>> But what about the 40% who just
shouldn't be here, right? Like that's
the question,
>> right? They all shouldn't be there,
>> right? So what are you going to do,
>> right? Okay, here it is. 400,000 ICE
arrests in Trump's first year. About 60%
involved individuals with some criminal
charges or convictions. However, only
14% had violent crime records, including
as homicide, 2,100 arrest, sexual
assault, 5,400, robbery, 2,700. So,
robbery, nearly 40% lacked any criminal
record. Detained for civil immigration
violations.
>> Wait, can we skip ahead? Look, this is
what's so shameless. Arrest for
non-violent issues like DUI. I'm sorry.
If you're doing DUI, you should be
deported, right?
>> That is a violent crime. Well, you
definitely cause death, right, and
destruction. Um, drugs 22,000, DUI
30,000, outnumber severe violent crimes.
But yeah, but those are bad
crimes.
>> I don't I But I think this kind of is a
distraction from Yes.
>> If you have 10 million people and
they're all house homemakers, like let's
suppose they're the nicest people ever,
are you comfortable with them just
remaining here? And I don't think most
people are.
>> No.
>> Then what do you do? Rand Paul thinks
that you should allow them to stay but
not give them citizenship.
>> See, if birthright citizenship went
away, a lot of this would be solved,
right? Right. If like you can't you
don't not eligible for welfare, you're
eligible for Medicaid, you could pay
your taxes and income, but you're not
getting the benefits. People can
understand that argument maybe,
>> especially if you are illegal and then
you come here specifically to have a
baby and then you could stay too. That's
kind of crazy. That's a crazy law.
>> It It's I think we're the only country
that has that too. Yeah.
>> So,
>> China definitely doesn't.
>> So, well, I mean, no one's really
banging on the door for Chinese
citizenship to be fair.
>> That's true.
>> Unless from North Korea, maybe. But,
yeah. So, it's
>> it is a problem that doesn't have like a
clear-cut solution that would make both
sides happy. That's for damn sure.
>> Well, I don't I think one side is
against it entirely and many Republicans
are don't think it's worth, you know,
kind of overturn our whole society to
get these 10 million people out. So
what's I mean, if we had if we had 10
million Canadians come to America,
that's not going to change the country.
>> That makes no sense,
>> right? Well, especially 10 million
Canadians that could be violent
criminals. Well, if you just have an
open door,
>> they're not going to be they're
Canadian.
>> There's violent Canadians.
>> Not sure. They're all They need to be
>> drinking maple syrup.
>> Do you know about my uh my uh um
Enslaved Canada plan?
>> No.
>> Okay. Is this this this this is I want
to get the exact I have the exact
numbers. Hold on here. So there are I
want to get this exactly right. 41
million Canadians. Okay.
>> Okay.
>> Now let's talk about reparations.
>> Right. So if I wreck your truck and your
truck is worth $10,000. I got to get you
a brand new truck or $10,000. That's
reparations is restored.
>> Okay.
>> How could you have reparations for
something as horrific as slavery? A
check's not going to do it because
there's no amount of money where I could
say, "What? You know what? You own my
grandma, it's fine. Right.
>> Right.
>> 41 million Canadians, they've already
demonstrated repeatedly that they don't
want freedom through every action that
they've taken. 42 million African black
Americans. So slavery in the South was a
horrific blot on America's past. So the
opposite, slavery in the north would be
better. So we invade and enslave #
eninsslave Canada and every
African-American gets one Canadian and
that's reparations. And then you don't
ever have to hear about slavery or
racism again.
>> What a great idea.
>> And the big names can get the big names.
So like Michelle Obama can get Gad Sad,
right? Barack Obama is not
African-American. He's African. You
don't get one.
>> Do you think that's real?
>> The Kenyan thing.
>> Well, he's he's he was of African
descent. He wasn't his ancestors were
never slaves.
>> So he does he's not do reparations. In
fact, his ancestors own slaves and so
did Kla Harris's. Michelle Obama's
ancestors were enslaved. So she gets
Gad. Sorry, Gad.
I'm not kidding. I think we should do
it. It would solve Canada. It would
solve a racism problem.
>> Canada just needs to be free.
>> Yeah.
>> They need a better government up there.
>> That's right. You know, can Trump ruined
that
>> when he with him
>> when he was saying they were going to be
our 51st state. He like he killed the
Conservative party because then
everybody sort of united and said, "Hey,
we've got to stop America from trying to
turn us into the 51st state."
>> This Greenland thing. Okay, let's talk
about this. Okay, because in I don't
know if people know this. in the first
term, uh, we're saying Marie
Frederickson, I think, is the prime
minister of Denmark.
>> They were going to have a meeting and
Trump's like, "We want Greenland." And
she's like, "Oh, you, you know, haha,
looking forward to, you know, meeting
you, Mr. President." And on Twitter, he
cancels the meeting and goes, "Uh, since
the prime minister doesn't know her
place, we're going to have to meet
another time." And she's like, "What?
Like, what are you talking about?" And
now they're saying you could have
Greenland to do anything you want. You
want to dig for the minerals, please
bring industry there. Nope. We need to
own Greenland. And they don't know. And
I don't know what to make of his.
Someone I saw on social media thinks he
must be on the spectrum because he's so
fixated on this thing that no one who's
neurotypical has this kind of fixation.
But what do you make of this whole
Greenland thing?
>> I don't understand it. Do you know they
offered us Greenland in the 1920s?
>> Right. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Was it too much
money or something?
>> How much was it?
>> How much did they offer us for?
>> But I don't blame them for being like,
"What is going on?"
>> It is crazy,
>> right?
>> So Denmark owns Greenland. Who's closer?
Denmark or the United States to
Greenland?
>> Then we should have it.
>> Why shouldn't Canada have it then?
>> No. them.
>> Like I This is what it must be like in
Denmark right now where they're like,
"What do we say?"
>> Okay. It did not offer itself to the
United States in the 1920s. US expressed
interest in acquiring or basing in
Greenland during that decade, but no
formal offer came from Denmark. I
thought there was negotiation.
>> That's what it's saying. Yeah.
>> Okay.
>> A land swap idea.
>> Okay. Um for the US Virgin Islands for
25 million. The US bought the Danish
West Indies, now US Virgin Islands, for
25 million. What a deal. Uh but affirm
Danish sovereignty over Greenland. 1920s
US Army General Billy Mitchell advocated
for American air bases on Greenland and
Iceland to expand air power, viewing
them as strategically vital amid
advancing technology. No purchase or
secession offer emerged from Denmark. US
interests remained. Internal military
advocacy without diplomatic action from
Copenhagen.
>> We just got to give him a swap. We get
Greenland, you get Puerto Rico.
>> So in 1947, go back to that.
19476
uh President Truman proposed a h 100red
million in gold for Greenland rejected
by Denmark amid cold war tensions. US
gained defense rights via 1941 agreement
during World War II occupation of
Denmark. How interesting is that? Like
we've been interested in Greenland
forever. Oh, it's right there. That's
ours. We should take it.
>> It's that fast fast route to Russia.
>> Well, yeah, cuz you have those straights
on both sides.
>> Faster than going across. But the thing
is they're already saying you could do
whatever you want.
>> Like take a dump on it. We don't care.
Like we're happy to you you to exploit
it, please.
>> And he's like, "Nope, we got to own it."
It's like, but why?
>> I guess he got it in his head that he
could make it happen.
>> But this is really like I don't The
thing is they're getting freaked out in
Europe, not cuz he's being this
aggressive. I think not just, but also
because it's like what what are we
missing? Like you and I like what are we
missing here? Like what about Greenland?
Would owning it change when you could do
whatever you like. Put more bases. We
love it.
>> Oh, I don't know, man.
>> You You've hung out with him. What's he
What's he Is he have a screw loose?
>> It's hard to say. I mean, I think
anybody who wants to be president has a
screw loose. Sure. And anybody who went
through that guy, what that guy did.
Sure. Of course. What he went through
over the last four years when Biden was
in office where they were trying to lock
him up.
>> What about what he was president? What
they went through?
>> The Russian gate stuff. Yeah. All that
stuff. It's kind of crazy. Uh you would
have to have a little bit of a screw
rules and now I think he's on a victory
lap for sure,
>> but he also wants to get a lot of stuff
done because he knows he only has one
term, you know, and I think uh the
Greenland thing I I understand the
strategic implications why you would
want that, but I don't understand why
you wouldn't just like accept a deal,
right?
>> Well, we could have bases there and use
>> We have bases there already and we do
whatever we want. Here's the other
thing. Here's this is the other one that
I don't understand. We go to Venezuela.
We basically teleport Maduro out, right?
Obviously, there's some kind of inside
information wherever. Who knows? And
then everyone just stops talking about
it.
>> I know, right? It's just like, well, the
news cycle is crazy right now.
>> What is going on in Venezuela? Did they
change the government? I don't think
they did.
>> They didn't change the government, but
they got rid of the one guy that was a
resistance. And uh the a lot of people
like Kurt Mezer thinks that what's going
to happen is during the trial they're
going to reveal that Maduro was involved
in rigging the 2020 election.
>> American 2020.
>> Yes. Cuz there is some sort of a
connection with Venezuela and the 2020
election and the voting machines.
>> Wait. Okay. I I love Kurt. I was one of
two people at his birthday party.
>> I when I say I love him, I mean
ironically and non-ironically, I think
he's the best.
>> I love him, too. I I don't see any route
where they would need the um theater of
a trial to release this sort of
information.
>> Right. I agree. But I I think that
having him uh in America and making a
deal with him, look, we already
kidnapped you. We killed all your
guards.
>> I think he's I if I can get if I could
if I could out Kurt Kurt,
>> I would bet this. I would bet a lot of I
would not be surprised. I'm not going to
bet that he's this is already a deal
that they told him either you come to
jail with us wink wink or we'll take you
out and he's like you're not fine I'll
retire in America. That would make more
sense to me.
>> They did some wild stuff over there like
they used some sound weapon to like
incapacitate everybody and they went in
and executed them all.
>> Is that all of that?
>> Not a single US soldier was shot,
>> right?
>> And everybody was down. Like the people
that are talking about it that were on
the ground saying it was crazy. They
shut off all the power. They shut off
all the radar systems and then all of a
sudden helicopters, drones,
everything was there. This sound weapon
was used. Everybody was incapacitated.
They came in gunned down. Like what? How
many people did they kill? I forget how
many people.
>> 100, wasn't it?
>> They killed a lot of people, but they
killed him with no resistance.
>> But I thought it was very clear that we
had some kind of inside information.
>> I'm sure we have that as well.
>> Yeah. Someone on the inside was like
working with us in terms of where he is.
>> I'm sure there was that as well. There
was this
>> when I saw this photo of him
>> getting arrested, I thought it was AI
cuz it looks so crazy and ridiculous.
And if I went a year ago and said
Trump's going to arrest Maduro and I'm
like, arrest him for what? It's just
like I don't know what's real anymore,
>> right?
>> Here's an article from the Guardian uh
from November
2025.
>> Okay. Trump's DOJ investigating
unfounded claims. Venezuela helped steal
2020 election. Like, so how do you know
it's unfounded until you investigate?
This is the these
>> Let me skip ahead.
>> The Guardian's pretty bad with that kind
of stuff.
>> Yeah, they're gross.
>> This stuff is where it was interesting
cuz this guy works for the CIA, I think,
and he has a quote down here where he
says he doesn't deal with kind
of. I don't dabble.
>> So, he doesn't he thinks it's
>> Well, just I was just trying to have you
read it cuz
>> Yeah, he says, "I don't dabble in
conspiracy theories."
>> Sure you don't. You're in the CIA,
right?
>> We don't dabble, we make them.
>> Uh, okay. Who knows?
>> This is what Kurt believes. This is not
my theory.
>> Keep scrolling down. I want to see what
what he's saying the Venezuela did.
>> Yeah. What is the accusation?
>> Yeah. Keep scrolling down. I want to see
there's nothing about what they did.
>> Well, that would be contributing to the
conspiracy theory.
>> Yeah, I guess
>> Mr. Malice.
>> Yeah,
>> they don't want to do that in the
Guardian.
>> Who knows?
>> But I Why would they need like
>> We'll find out. another awesome chapter
of Game of Thrones
>> is I I I mean I I I I still don't
understand like it was a lot of people
were butt hurt correctly that we
shouldn't be doing regime change
>> but the regime didn't change
>> right we just got rid of one guy and
kidnapped him and brought him to America
>> but like if you get rid of Trump Vance
becomes president you're not changing
the government at all
>> right
>> so like what are we doing here
>> I don't know
>> here's a discussion in the journal of
democracy about how mad Dura stole
Venezuela's vote and some of
>> that is very widely accepted as
>> real. I'm seeing these keywords that are
popping out as like the same stuff I'm
hearing in our election dispute.
>> Ballot receipts, people checking voter
polls
>> later that evening. People saying that
that's not what I did. I was I don't
It's a lot.
>> Right.
>> The other question is what's going on
with Iran?
>> Well, it looks like we're about to go
in.
>> Are we Are you sure?
>> Well, there's they're preparing. They
But I mean that's always it's great
great to shake your fist.
>> Shadow. Yeah. Saber rattling.
>> So it's it's like like it's I I feel I
feel like all of us are like looking
around being like what's
>> what the is going on? Yeah. Every
day. Every day is what the is going
on? Right.
>> And you're just trying to like live a
normal life.
>> Yes.
>> Which is what everybody really wants.
But they're preventing you from doing
that with constantly being assaulted by
new information that scares the out
of you. And it's also there's no context
for us to understand this. Like we we
understand the Saddam situation, right?
You go in, you conquer country, kill a
lot of people. It's a nightmare
bloodbath that was unnecessary. Saddam
gets hanged. We know that story. Like
we're just going to come in, pull out
one guy who's the president and leave
his wife and his and his wife and
everything will go back. It's just like
I remember the Democrats were like, "Uh,
what do we say to this? This has never
happened before."
>> Yeah. I don't know, man. I'm just
overwhelmed. I this I think I share the
feeling that most Americans have right
now where just every day you're like
what the is going on?
>> But I feel like it's escalating.
>> It wasn't this crazy during his first
term.
>> No, no, no. The world is escalating.
>> Yes.
>> What is this? Venezuelan oil gets
>> show you that
>> gets shipped to Israel first time in
years. Oh boy.
>> It happened last week. So as I'm just
looking up, we we assume control of the
country I think in some way.
>> Did we like we I think we got their oil
right. They've found a better way to
have people run it, but I don't know
that.
>> Well, that was the other thing that
Trump said. What are we going to do with
the oil tanker? We're going to keep it.
>> Yeah. It's like, wait, what? Like, how
do we get to do this?
Like, if you are
>> they're sending the oil to Israel. Uh,
>> so Venezuela is saying it's fake.
>> Venezuela plans to send its first
shipment of crude oil to Israel in 17
years. Part of opening up the country's
exports following the US abduction of
President Nicholas Maduro. I did have to
go to probably not a great source to the
Middle East eye. I don't know.
>> Well, Bloomberg's a rep, you know,
>> that's the one I couldn't past,
>> but it seems like it's the same story.
>> Jerusalem Post. Yeah, they're not going
to be lying about this stuff.
>> First shipment to Israel.
>> Well, I think all they're saying is
they've restored relations between
Venezuela and
>> Well, they probably control relations
now. I It's essentially the US is
probably in control of their oil
distribution.
>> I think that's explicit, isn't it?
>> Yeah. So, but still like
>> Well, that was the other thing. He's
bringing in all these companies. They're
all going to do it. But apparently their
oil is like very difficult to acquire.
Requires
>> Yeah. They their oil is not like simple
like Texas oil. Dig a hole in the
ground, pull it out. It's like it's all
it has to be processed with all these
chemicals. It's apparently like the
consistency of asphalt.
>> Okay.
>> And it has to be broken down. It's very
expensive. This is why uh was it the CEO
of Exxon? One of the companies said that
it would never work.
>> Oh
>> yeah. that the infrastructure is not in
place, you know, and then Trump was
upset at him for being a negative dancy.
>> I I just I I I think anytime you start
Did you really
>> Whenever you start talking about regime
change, that's something that's very
scary.
>> Yeah. Historically
>> and always turns bad like Libya and all
these other places. Yeah.
>> Iraq. Yeah. All
>> just like it's never good.
>> Like Yeah. But then at the same time,
we're like what what do we what do we
do?
Like what's plan B? Gavin Newsome. You
know what I mean?
>> What's he going to do? Allow everything
to happen.
>> Senior Trump administration officials
have vowed to maintain control over
Venezuelan oil exports for an indefinite
period. Indefinite. It's weird. In
quotes, Secretary of State Marco Rubio
claiming that the Venezuelan acting
government headed by Deli Rodriguez
needs to submit a budget request before
accessing the country's oil proceeds.
Whoa. Jesus Christ.
>> So, we just took over Venezuela
essentially.
>> Yeah. No, we just took over their oil.
>> Yeah, but also the country.
>> Aren't the people still being oppressed
as hell?
>> Yeah, but the government essentially is
like we're running that government.
>> I don't think we are though.
>> We probably tell them what they can and
can't do.
>> No, I think that's the thing that
they're still
>> just the oil,
>> right?
>> Can I talk about something fun?
>> Yeah.
>> I uh am finishing a project I've been
working on for 25 years.
>> Whoa.
>> Yeah. So, I'm excited to talk to you
about it.
>> What is it?
>> So, um there was this band from the 80s
who were called Rubber Rodeo that
combined punk and country, right? And I
was looking at this compilation um that
I got in 1994.
I sent Jamie the the the picture and I
was staring at this photo trying to make
heads or tails of this band because Can
you pull it up? It's it's You'll show
you the photo. You'll see what I mean by
it. because they're a bunch of kids in
these like kind of um square dancing
uniforms with no affect on their face
whatsoever. And the singer, she's in
this Dolly Parton wig and this big
square dancing dress and just staring
right at the viewer. I'm like, are they
joking? Like what's up with these
people? Um and I met them and they were
art school kids. They were not joking.
They were There it is. That photo. So
you see I'm st I'm like, are they
kidding? Are they not kidding? That her
name is Trish. Um,
>> and this is from the 80s.
>> This is from the 80s. They got signed
the same day as Bon Joy by the same guy.
And he said, "I'm taking you both to
number one." So, I wrote a screenplay
about them because it's kind of like a
Spinal Tap story because they're on
stage at punk clubs doing jokes like,
"Hey, Bob, I I'm exhausted. Why are you
exhausted, Bob?" "Oh, the couple in the
next hotel room were up all night eating
candy bars. Candy bars. Yeah, she kept
yelling, "Oh, Henry. Oh, Henry." Right.
So, it's this complete like what are you
even doing here? Um, but the guy who did
the keyboards for the band did the
animation for American Splendor
>> and through him I met Harvey Pecar uh
who later wrote a book about me in 2006
called
>> Is he that guy that went nuts on
Letterman?
>> I'm so glad you know who Harvey is. So,
Harvey started the idea.
>> He's a comic book guy, right?
>> Right. He started the idea of writing
autobiographical comics in the 70s. Um,
from off the streets of Cleveland, here
comes American Splendor. It's an ironic
title because his life was not exactly
very splendid. He was a file clerk, kind
of a miserable person. He hated being
called a kermagin. Um, and amazingly,
when the film came out in 200, was it
2000? I think it was something like
that. 2001. Um the he flew back to New
York to do Stern and the producer of the
film, Ted Hope, sent out an email that
said, "Harvey's in town with nothing to
do. If you want to hang out with him,
this is your chance." And I'm the only
person who took him up on it. And I go
there and he's on his bed and he uh
spoiler alert, he died in 2010 on my
birthday, which was not a fun email to
get. Anyway, and he's like he's Yeah,
he's got this really weird way of
talking. He's like, "I'm really
up, man." And I pointed out to him since
everything in his life was a disaster,
his movie got a wide release the weekend
of the blackout. There was this big
blackout. He's like, "Oh, god
damn it." And that was the weekend I had
a fish tank and I'm trying to keep them
alive with no electricity and it did not
work out.
>> So he wrote a book about me. Uh, and
that screenplay fell by the wayside.
But because it's kind of like Spinal
Tap, you know, it's this kind of funny
story about, you know, when you're
young, and anyone out there who's
listening to this, when you're young, go
for it. Be stupid. If you're gonna fail,
it's okay. It's still something exciting
to try and to do, which they certainly
did. Um, and now I'm like, wait a
minute, this converts to a graphic novel
uh uh very easily. There's a guy named
Eric July who has this whole kind of
empire. He did a Kickstarter. He made
like a million for his first one. It's
called The Ripperverse. And now they're
at a point where you don't have to go
through DC or Marvel to produce your
product. So I'm super excited about it.
Again, I started this in 2000 and now
it's finally 26 years later coming to
fruition. So
>> awesome.
>> unwantedbook.com. All right.
>> I'm just really kind of it's it's very
intense this because here's the other
thing. What I I I was at Golds and I had
basically what was the opposite of a
nervous breakdown where all the parts of
my brain slid into place where I
realized this story I wrote in 2001.
What happens if you do all these things,
try to be original and go nowhere? Like
those are my fears when I was starting
out. What if I'm end up like them and
have nothing to show for it? And 25
years later, that experiment's been run.
you know, I could pay my rent as a kind
of creative person and if they were
around today, they could probably pay
their rent because this much easier as a
band to kind of build an audience, but
it's a very funny story, but it's also a
very dark one, and it's largely true.
>> All right, so I'm just stoked that I get
>> We'll end it on a happy note.
>> Yeah.
>> Thanks, buddy.
>> Thank you.
>> Always good to see you.
>> Always a pleasure.
>> Congratulations on the face pink. Wait
for the next one.
>> Oh, no. Bye, everybody. Bye-bye.
