Hello, good morning. Happy, I don't know, Wednesday.
0:27
Ted is in here somewhere. Although I don't know,

his camera's not on. But again, there you are.
0:35
There be Ted and Robbie. Okay, we're working

the Turn off the remember take the video out
1:14
people can't see us Take the video out. So you
1:18
need to turn me into an administrator Otherwise,
1:21
and I can do it, but. I just I just made you
1:25
wanted. OK, Rob, you you got control back. Yeah,
1:30
I just logged on to you. OK, so listen, Manila,
1:34
go into the elements where you played that where
1:36
you played the intro music, the intro. OK, click
1:39
that and remove it. Oh, that's annoying. So when
1:44
that ends, that I told you about this, remember?
1:48
On the media, that's annoying. Right. Yeah. Did
1:50
you do it? Okay. Now can everybody see us? I'll
1:56
see if you make Robbie and I administrators.
1:58
I just did. I logged in on TMI on my desktop.
2:02
Did you make me an administrator too? I did.
2:04
Okay. It's weird. I don't see. I don't think
2:08
I am. And I don't see that. Yeah. I put the logo
2:13
back up there. Is that working? The logo's fine.
2:18
Yeah, on the upper right. There it is. There
2:20
it is. It never went away. It did on my end for
2:25
a minute. But anyway, anyway, we are. Yes, we
2:28
are. We are kink shaming Rumble because it's
2:32
still still not as smooth as the other program.
2:37
But at least you guys get a clear picture when
2:39
the picture works. So there be it. Anyway, I
2:45
was just watching the Dr. Fauci testimony. A
2:49
lot of Fifth Amendments there, Ted. A lot of
2:52
Fifth Amendments. Ted, try jumping out then coming
2:54
back in. You should be an administrator now.
2:57
Got it. Okay. Thank you. That would make sense.
3:01
I know, Robbie, you guys were in the show, but
3:03
I had... You know, i'm dealing with a baby and
3:05
I had the news on and um, they cut straight to
3:09
the full hearing with dr Fauci now that his diary
3:12
is released and all this dirt about how he handled
3:15
um I don't see the elements. Where are they?
3:23
Anyways, I don't know. I don't know what ted
3:26
What you mean? Um, robbie, you know Yeah, so
3:31
are you able to see everything like do you have
3:33
the administrator Dashboard now. No Yeah, if
3:37
you have the administrator then it'll Populate
3:40
on the far, right? Yeah, I don't I don't have
3:44
that so bizarre Anyway, all right. Don't keep
3:48
doing your thing. I'll play on this. Let's just
3:49
let's just let's just roll. It doesn't matter
3:51
Yeah, okay. So yeah, I was watching the Fauci
3:53
thing and a lot of Fifth Amendments I know he
3:56
has the right to do that, but it certainly does
3:59
not look good on his part. No, that's for sure.
4:05
Inspirating, given that his diary was leaked
4:08
out and it showed a lot of narcissistic tendencies,
4:14
we'll say, Ted, to say the least. It is a diary.
4:18
I mean, honestly, if you can't be narcissistic
4:21
in your own diary, what is the point of having
4:24
a diary? When he was a narcissist, He was a narcissist.
4:27
He showed us his narcissism. Um, inadvertently
4:30
in all his press interviews were the background.
4:33
He has like all his own, like memorabilia, right?
4:37
Like other people might have things that like,
4:39
like behind me, like you could see books, you
4:41
can see like Russian nesting dolls and whatever.
4:44
They're not like framed photos of me at the Emmys
4:47
or whatever, you know, like, yeah, that's just
4:49
always weird when people do that. He had like
4:51
a whole wall of himself. So that was a glimpse
4:55
into the narcissism there and now that the Diaries
4:58
out it's kind of like, you know That's a grift.
4:59
That's a grifter thing where you have like all
5:02
these, you know people who put their diplomas
5:04
up and stuff like that I mean, I kind of understand
5:08
like in an old -school way like back in the day
5:11
like doctors would look I really went to med
5:14
school Okay, I guess that's good to know before
5:17
you you know operate on me but in general Yeah,
5:24
but when you're doing press interviews and you're,
5:27
you specifically curated your background, right?
5:30
Like everything's in there for a reason, right?
5:33
And Fauci had like his own bobbleheads, his own
5:37
like, it's not diplomas and stuff. These are
5:39
like - Well, the bobblehead is funny. I think
5:41
I could see putting that there. I don't know.
5:44
I wish I was completely, I wish I could say I
5:48
was completely over his handling of COVID, but
5:52
Just just not and then I gotta say Did he do
5:57
something wrong? Phileas fob One of two comments
6:03
here. I guess it was long. Thank you for the
6:05
donation Phileas fob says Robbie's immigration
6:08
position look into ethnic or group density effect
6:12
ie increased likelihood of becoming Schizophrenic
6:15
as one becomes even just less of a majority in
6:20
one's neighborhood I mean, I guess we're waiting
6:23
for the second, the second portion of that. But
6:28
thank you for the donation. Appreciate that.
6:31
So, yeah, we'll get into the news and when the
6:35
other half of this comment comes through, I'll
6:39
read that. Just don't wait here for that. No,
6:42
I'm not. Let's keep going. Yeah, so just letting
6:45
Phileas know. We'll get to that once you're done
6:47
writing. All right. Alright, so first things
6:54
first, Ted. The 2028 presidential field. In all
7:00
the polls, pretty much everybody is underwater,
7:03
hence the thumbnail. Everybody hates 2028 because
7:07
it's kind of like, do you want a shit sandwich?
7:12
Do you want a shit pizza? Do you want a shit
7:15
salad? A shit soup? Shit is on the menu. That's
7:19
all. That's what we like to know. Shit, it's
7:23
what's for dinner. Yeah. All right, Phileas,
7:27
the second part of the of the comment says, EGC
7:31
Baker et al 2021, which is a meta analysis with
7:36
loads of references, a good starting point down
7:40
this rabbit hole. And Man Child, thank you for
7:45
your donation. Man Child says, do not accept
7:48
type premise of the question. Do not accept it
7:54
like reject the donations or do you know you
7:57
got to take the jaws off because now I'm gonna
8:00
say a black screen because the jaws are still
8:02
there. It doesn't every time any time you use
8:06
a an element element you must unclick out of
8:10
it when it's done every single otherwise it just
8:14
stays there. Oh my god. You'll get used to it
8:18
but it is a pain in the ass. That is so dumb.
8:21
That is so dumb on Rumble's part. If you don't
8:26
loop a video element, it should go away on its
8:29
own. It is stupid. I agree with you. So clunky.
8:32
All right. It is. It's retarded. But now that
8:33
people are able to see us, and do not worry,
8:35
Man Child, I will not accept the question. I
8:38
will go back to the back. You are Robbie free.
8:44
And I forgive you for calling me a hateful bastard.
8:48
Bastard. Because you do know who your dad is.
8:54
So Alright, so the 2028 presidential campaign
8:57
they they haven't officially begun but voters
9:00
already have opinions about the possible candidates
9:02
and most of these opinions are negative any surprise
9:06
a July so brand new a July Harvard caps slash
9:12
Harris poll nothing to do with Kamala measured
9:15
the national favorability of several prominent
9:18
political figures. Here's what the potential
9:21
presidential field ranked by net favorability
9:24
looks like marco rubio actually comes out on
9:28
top marco freaking rubio i think it'll be great
9:32
to have our first gay president gay latino president
9:37
yeah um no he's married yeah apparently sure
9:41
sure he is his high school sweetheart who was
9:45
a miami dolphin's cheerleader although i've never
9:48
ever heard her speak I'm sure he likes to play
9:52
with many guys, Dolphins. She was a Miami Dolphins
9:56
cheerleader. That's all I know. I guess they
9:58
knew each other from high school. Classic beard.
10:00
And then started dating in college, whatever.
10:01
But she was a Dolphins cheerleader in the 90s.
10:06
So he has a 36 % favorable rating, 35 % unfavorable.
10:11
So he's a net plus one. So these aren't good
10:15
numbers. I'm just going to tell you guys right
10:16
now. Everybody's numbers are bad. They're all
10:19
in the toilet. But if now we're measuring on
10:23
who's hated, who's least hated, everybody's hated.
10:27
But least hated is Marco with a plus one. Then
10:31
JD Vance, 40 % favor favorable, 43 % unfavorable.
10:38
I would argue that even though he's under three,
10:41
I would say that in this sort of quiet race between
10:45
Rubio and Vance, Vance is ahead, despite being
10:48
minus three as opposed to plus one, because -
10:50
Because of his favorability? He is 40 % favorable
10:53
as opposed to 36 % favorable. In other words,
10:57
more people know who Vance is. And for that reason,
11:02
same thing with Rubio's unfavorables are 35 as
11:05
opposed to Vance's 43. But again, more people
11:08
know who Vance is, and name recognition is by
11:13
far the most important thing at this stage in
11:15
the race. It is. It's like going to the store
11:19
to buy bread, right? Like everybody knows Wonder
11:22
Bread. Wonder might not be good, but you know
11:23
it. But you know it. Alexandria Ocasio -Cortez,
11:29
AOC, 30 % favorable, 30, 36 % unfavorable. She's
11:36
a net minus six. It gets worse. Kamala Harris
11:40
has a 41 % favorable. So she has so far the highest.
11:46
She said herself she's not running. She's now
11:49
she's teasing that she maybe hasn't ruled it
11:52
out. Haven't you heard the latest? She's not
11:55
running. He's teasing. She's teasing and saying
11:57
maybe she's trying to sell books. 48 % unfavorable.
12:03
So she's a net minus seven. Then Gavin Newsome.
12:06
I think she's overperformed. Then Gavin Newsome.
12:11
She's a major fuck up. He and AOC are about the
12:15
same. 30 % favorable, 38 % unfavorable. He's
12:19
a net minus eight. Rubio is the only conventional
12:23
2028 contender tested who is technically above
12:26
water and only by one percentage point. Vance
12:29
has the strongest overall standing after Rubio,
12:33
although most voters still dislike him than like
12:36
him. Harris has the highest favorability rating
12:39
in the Democratic field at 41 percent, but she
12:42
also has the highest unfavorable at a whopping
12:44
48 percent, reflecting both her national prominence
12:48
and the political baggage left from the 2024
12:51
campaign. AOC and Newsom are viewed favorably
12:55
only by 30 % of voters, but their lower overall
12:59
number also suggests more voters remain undecided
13:02
about them, particularly AOC. Within their parties,
13:06
however, the pictures look different. The same
13:09
poll found Kamala Harris leading the hypothetical
13:12
Democratic primary with 37%, followed by Newsom
13:16
at 24%. Pete Buttigieg received 10%. AOC And
13:23
Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro each received
13:26
nine. So that's within their party. So they're
13:29
not really the party's not big on them, I guess
13:32
among Republicans. It's just really early, you
13:36
know. It's never too early, Ted. You know, instead
13:41
of running like eight months out, one year out,
13:43
we keep stretching it. So like you really your
13:46
campaign is starting now. If you want to. Oh,
13:48
sure. Well, the donor campaign has all began
13:51
years ago. But yeah. It begins as soon as the
13:54
last one ends. But the voters aren't paying attention
13:57
yet. They're not zeroed in on it yet. Among Republicans,
14:03
Vance led with 42%. He'll be the nominee. He's
14:06
more popular in the party. He absolutely will
14:09
be the nominee. Rubio followed at 22%. That's
14:13
a steep jump. For a gay man, that's pretty good
14:17
inside the GMP. In the party? Yeah. No, but he
14:20
is the conventional neocon -esque, you know,
14:26
like, it seems like Trump hasn't really anointed
14:29
his heir apparent yet. And it doesn't mean Vance
14:31
is it just because he's VP. Lately, Trump has
14:35
been teasing that Rubio is really sneaking up
14:38
behind Vance. Trump Jr. Trump jr. Received 18
14:43
% favorability. Oh, come on. We got to go Eric
14:46
Trump instead because he's the He's the really
14:49
dumb one. Not that Don jr. Is smart, but you
14:52
know, but between them and then RFK who I don't
14:56
know why they're pulling with RFK in here because
14:59
he's an independent now because he because he
15:01
obviously he's registered he Know he said he
15:07
said he's the Trump administration cabinet secretary.
15:11
So yeah, he's a Republican now. He's not technically
15:14
a Republican. And then Nikki Haley. Who's digging
15:18
her back up? She's disgusting. They pulled at
15:22
6 % each. The survey questioned. 1776, 1776 registered
15:30
voters on July 11th and 12th has a margin of
15:34
error of approximately 2 .3 percentage points.
15:37
The takeaway is not that any candidate is dominating
15:40
America. Kamala Harris and JD Vance currently
15:43
lead within their parties. Rubio has the best
15:47
personal rating because he's the only one above
15:49
water. In other words, the race to become president
15:52
may begin as a contest to determine who voters
15:55
dislike the least. Well, increasingly, it's always
15:58
been like that. It's increasingly, I think the
16:01
case like what has happened in America, Ted,
16:06
that that we went from voting. It seemed this
16:11
way anyway, at least in the black and white videos
16:13
I've seen. We went from. Someone voting for somebody
16:18
because they inspired you to get out there to
16:20
vote so now you're like I gotta pick something
16:23
like I don't know. What do you feel like today?
16:25
Like a shit sandwich shit soup? Well, I have
16:29
a theory as to why this is the case and you guys
16:31
can shoot it down My theory is this Okay. So
16:36
first of all between the two parties with polarization,
16:41
I mean, people have discovered, particularly
16:43
Donald Trump really proved it, that the base
16:45
strategy beats the swing voter strategy. It used
16:49
to be conventional wisdom, particularly among
16:50
Democrats, was that basically 45 % of the country
16:54
was always going to vote Democrat, 45 % was always
16:58
going to vote Republican, and you were fighting,
17:00
every election was about fighting for those 10
17:02
% of swing voters. Donald Trump proved and I
17:05
have always believed that that was bullshit.
17:08
There aren't that many swing voters. And then
17:10
what you really want to do is enthuse your base
17:12
and get your 45 % of voters to the polls. And
17:17
maybe the other 45 % of who are on the other
17:20
side are less likely to show up to the polls.
17:22
So what that means is you're going to get polarized
17:25
more ideological candidates on both in both parties,
17:30
which means that When you have the general election,
17:36
each voter's parties, whether they're not, they
17:40
may or may not be that enthusiastic about their
17:42
own side, but the prospect of losing is going
17:46
to be terrifying. So let's say you're a Democrat
17:49
and you're getting ready to vote, but the Republican
17:53
is not just like a George H .W. Bush -style Republican,
17:57
but is a hard line. asshole shithead right wing
18:03
fucktard you're like you're totally terrified
18:06
by this person, right? So you're voting against
18:09
the person that you hate the most. Conversely,
18:13
if you have the same exact conversation, if you're
18:16
a Republican and you're scared of some woke shithead,
18:20
libtard, you know, PC, like trans, whatever.
18:26
Again, you're terrified of that lunatic. And
18:29
as opposed to the other. Yeah, like if Walter
18:32
Rondale wins, you're not happy. But you know,
18:35
if that happens, you're not going to kill yourself
18:37
or leave the country, right? So now within the
18:40
parties, you're getting the same exact phenomenon
18:43
because both parties are now split between their
18:46
corporatist and their populist wings. Okay, so
18:49
we effectively have two subparties within the
18:53
two major parties. So that's four subparties
18:57
total. So in the primaries, again, the more ideal
19:01
you're going to get the ideologue. So within
19:03
the Democratic Party, let's say you're let's
19:07
say, you know, you're looking at the race in
19:08
Michigan right now. And let's say Syed loses,
19:11
which looks right now like he will lose this
19:14
Michigan Senate race due to all the APAC money.
19:17
Well, if you're a progressive and you live in
19:19
Michigan, you're furious that Haley Stevens wins,
19:23
right? Not like, oh, well, I can live with her.
19:27
She's not too bad. She's not my top choice. Ditto.
19:31
In the Republican Party, if you have, you know,
19:34
let's say you're a JD Vance supporter. you would
19:38
be furious to think of the idea of a Rubio coming
19:40
to power or vice versa again. So with that increased
19:44
polarization, it's the polarization and the lack
19:48
of fighting over swing votes within the parties
19:51
and between the parties. That's my theory as
19:54
to why you're seeing these kind of numbers where
19:57
people are just voting increasingly against rather
20:01
than for. Right. I mean, that is I would say
20:08
your theory holds water, for sure. I'm just criticizing
20:11
where the whole election process has gotten,
20:18
especially specifically in regards to the whole
20:23
Citizens United issue, where all of this big
20:25
money comes in and poisons the well for everybody.
20:28
I think that's how, one, we have to have election
20:31
reforms, number one, from the ground fucking
20:33
up. The changes that have been made, Like what?
20:37
For example, like Citizens United, is allowing
20:40
too much interest, like person, I mean, rich
20:45
people, personal oligarch interest, or corporate
20:48
interests or whatever, to poison the well for
20:50
everybody. And our whole, like the fact that
20:54
we don't have a, we have a piecemeal patchwork
21:01
quilt federal election system across states.
21:04
because if it's going to be a federal election,
21:06
I feel like if there's any one federal control
21:09
over the elections, it should be president, right?
21:12
But that doesn't exist. All the powers are within
21:15
the state and how people get on ballots and how
21:18
people like how they distribute the ballots,
21:21
how voter ID, all of that stuff. This is it's
21:23
a patchwork quilt. And I don't know exactly what
21:27
reforms. I would do if I, you know, if I had
21:31
the power to change it. But the first thing I
21:33
would repeal is fucking Citizens United. Like
21:35
that's get all the big money out because they're
21:39
never in the interest. That's a Supreme Court
21:41
decision. So it's not going to be repealed under
21:44
the present six to three majority. The only thing
21:47
that the only thing that could fix it is something
21:50
that will not happen, which is to have a Congress
21:55
pass a law. that effectively replaces Citizens
21:59
United. And Congress isn't going to do that because
22:02
they're the ones collecting the big grift. So,
22:06
I mean, this is like asking, this is like asking
22:09
cartoonists to, you know, accept lower salaries,
22:13
and cartoonists have to vote for it. Or accepting,
22:17
like Manila, let's you and I decide, do we want
22:19
TMI Show to pay us less or more? We're going
22:22
to vote, I know, more. So, like, you know, like,
22:27
hey, you know, we could take, you know, we could
22:30
be corrupted by by big money interests, we would
22:34
probably be open to taking that money. Right.
22:38
The only the only exception would be if, like,
22:41
let's say there's like, you know, Bernie Sanders
22:43
small donor model, where he refuses to take that
22:46
kind of money, not that it's being offered to
22:48
him anyway. But he's collecting, like, what is
22:52
it? Thirty nine dollars or twenty nine dollars
22:53
per person. So he's OK. Right. And he's not going
22:57
to get those twenty nine dollars per person if
22:59
he accepted money from APAC. But you need a model.
23:03
There's no realistic model for this ever being
23:06
fixed. So we shouldn't even talk about it. It's
23:10
just we keep piling on more shit on top of the
23:16
shit pile we already have. P .W. Walker. Thank
23:19
you so much for the donation. Walker says playing
23:22
to the fears of the base also means you don't
23:24
have to promise as much and or be accountable
23:27
for failing to deliver. Yeah, that's true. And
23:32
then if you're if you're Donald Trump, then you
23:34
obviously build a base of like sycophants and
23:41
cult of personality. And then they just worship
23:44
everything you say or do. And you don't have
23:47
to be accountable. So, you know, there's that
23:51
too. But anyway, Robbie, I think is completely
23:54
wrong. Robbie says, I'm calling it. It'll be
23:57
Rubio Haley. No fucking way. What a big losing
24:01
tank of a ticket. No fucking way. No way. Not
24:04
to mention, it's just not going to happen because,
24:08
you know, Nancy's the sitting president, the
24:10
vice president of the United States. I mean,
24:12
when is the vice president ever snubbed and passed
24:15
over? Never. I'm telling y 'all, it's going to
24:19
be Rubio and it's going to be Haley. That's who
24:22
the RNC is after. And let me make the case. Well,
24:26
they would like it. But how are they going to
24:28
sideline Vance, who's been a loyal lieutenant
24:30
the entire time? Vance has sidelined himself
24:34
by refusing to take a side. That's Vance's problem.
24:37
People on the right, like me, do not trust him.
24:40
People of the corporate or Republican still do
24:42
not trust him. He's still the vice president
24:42
of the United States. How are you going to sideline
24:44
him? It's just a title. It doesn't matter. He's
24:47
not going to get the support. He's not going
24:50
to get it. The RNC will install Vance because
24:53
he's the Veep. It's why Kamala, despite everything,
24:57
was the pick, right? The RNC will anoint Rubio.
25:02
He checks the boxes. He's a child. No one will
25:05
ever work for, be a vice president in a Republican
25:07
ticket again, if that's the case. Part of the
25:10
reason you agree to be a vice president and to
25:13
suck up all that like you know, bullshit that
25:16
you have to deal with is because you will be
25:18
president, or at least you'll get to run. But
25:21
you have to remember, that's a relatively new
25:23
phenomenon in American politics. You used to
25:25
be the Secretary of State was the heir apparent.
25:28
Yeah, but you're OK. You want to go back to what,
25:31
1940 or whatever? I mean, we're not there. It's
25:36
been 85 years. That's not true. Ted, we don't
25:40
know where we are right now, because there's
25:42
a civil war right now on both parties. The corporatists
25:45
have this locked up as far as elections. Listen.
25:48
Yes, the corporatists own the parties. And the
25:52
corporatists like Rubio. That's why Trump is
25:55
like - The corporatists are going to want Vance.
25:58
No, the tech bros like Vance. Tech bros like
26:02
Vance, not the corporatists. I'm telling y 'all.
26:05
Corporatists like Rubio, that's true. It's going
26:06
to be Rubio and it's going to be Haley. It's
26:10
going to be the Cuban and the war carry. That's
26:12
who it's going to be. But the tech bros, the
26:14
tech bros own the world right now. They are the
26:16
masters of the universe. They want stability.
26:21
And so how do you get stability? Peace, Vance.
26:25
Fans is a pussy. He's not going to do anything.
26:27
He hasn't done anything already. He's the vice
26:30
president. The vice president's not supposed
26:32
to do anything. He goes to funerals. That's all
26:33
he does. I mean, you're not going to get stability
26:37
under Rubio. You're going to be at war constantly.
26:41
I mean, he's even going to be at war in Cuba.
26:43
And that's good. And listen, that's good for
26:45
big tech. Ted, who is it that makes the AI that's
26:48
being used to kill people? War is good business,
26:52
man. Yeah, but Vance is literally their tech
26:54
bro. Vance literally worked. for Peter Thiel.
27:00
Yeah, exactly. And he's a failed investment.
27:02
So what do you do? You don't tumble down, throw
27:04
good men after bad. Listen, we have got, what,
27:07
12 countries locked up in a war right now, maybe
27:10
about to expand? I think it's more like 13. Those
27:15
missiles aren't going to make themselves. That's
27:17
big money. All right, let's talk about the Democratic
27:19
side. It's going to be Pete Buttigieg on the
27:21
Democratic side. No, it's not. Even within the
27:24
party, the article even says, Pete is polling
27:27
at 6 % within the party. So? He'll still be the
27:29
nominee. He is not going to be an insurgent.
27:32
Okay, listen. Let's just go through these. No,
27:36
it's going to be Newsom. Okay, Newsom, it can't
27:37
be Newsom because he's from California and when
27:41
you run as the governor of a state, the state
27:44
can't be in miserable condition and everybody,
27:48
rightly or wrongly, believes that California
27:51
is a shithole. So nobody wants to do. Oh, what?
27:55
I mean, you can imagine the Republican attack
27:57
ads, like all the pictures of like the meth heads
28:00
in L .A. It'll be like, you know, Gavin Newsom,
28:04
he'll do for America what he did for California.
28:07
I mean, come on. It's all I mean, the party leaders
28:10
know this. No, I'm not saying it looks good.
28:12
He's going to be vice president. He will be vice
28:16
president. The Democratic field is worse off,
28:20
way worse off than the GOP. Newsom also, Newsom
28:24
has this sex scandal right now. And he's also
28:29
a straight, cis, able -bodied, white male. I
28:34
know. And he has that greasy, slicked back hair.
28:36
Yeah, he's basically a Democratic Party politician
28:40
from the 70s. Right now, they're going to be
28:43
looking for like, we'll go for Buttigieg. He's
28:47
articulate. He is gay. He's... But he's still
28:51
a white dude. You know, so and he's not like
28:55
a flamer. He's not like walking around like rainbow
28:58
this, rainbow that. But we want to always be
29:02
able to say as Democrats that we're making history,
29:05
right? That's always our thing. I think we're
29:07
starting to drop that. Making history, but we're
29:10
not making a difference, right? Because they
29:12
know it's fucking stupid and it's unwinnable
29:14
to have this. You know, like, oh, we're making
29:17
history by electing or placing so -and -so on
29:21
top of the ticket. I think they realize that's
29:24
a losing strategy and they're trying to scram.
29:26
I don't think they have a strategy right now.
29:28
So they're scrambling to try to figure out who,
29:30
but it ain't Pete. Pete is polling at 6 % within
29:33
his own party. And they've tried to ram Pete
29:37
down our throat for the past 10 years. All the
29:39
better. If you're Buddha, Judge, you don't want
29:40
to, you know, you don't want to peek. You should
29:42
know this. Manila, you don't want to peek out
29:44
early. You don't want to be like, you know how
29:46
like the people they first talk about early on
29:49
are like the, you know, they are the peep, then
29:51
all the spotlight is on them. And then nobody,
29:56
and then like things come up. It's going to be
29:58
booty. Thank you for the dono. Man child says
30:01
why don't we just pick a name out of a hat everyone
30:03
has a one in 350 million chance to be president
30:05
in fact in in ancient Greece Socrates I believe
30:10
it was Socrates if I'm remembering correctly,
30:12
I'm thinking way back here to 20 plus years ago
30:15
I believe it was Socrates who served on what
30:18
do they call like their Parliament in Greece?
30:20
I guess I don't know for all all intents and
30:22
purposes their Parliament He was forced to serve
30:25
their Senate. I don't know. I don't whatever
30:27
they called their Yeah, that's what it was as
30:30
well. It was the cryptia. It was the body, the
30:33
body quality. Thank you. I knew there was a name,
30:35
I couldn't remember it, but Socrates was pulled
30:39
basically out of a hat, his name, and he was
30:41
forced to do it, because that was how they did
30:43
it back then. And there you go. But how many
30:47
Socrates's do we have? Three more stories. Let's
30:49
roll. America ain't full of those Socrates's.
30:53
Now remember, if you Jaws, you have to un -Jaws.
30:55
Oh, fucking annoying. All right. Are you doing
30:58
it? A conservative think tank official walked
31:06
into a Senate office building carrying what authorities
31:09
say was the most catastrophically packed briefcase
31:12
since someone invented airport security. Matthew
31:15
Christopher Wingate, government relations director
31:18
for defense and foreign policy at the Heritage
31:20
Foundation right wing think tank, entered Washington's
31:24
Russell Senate office building on July 14th and
31:27
put his briefcase on the x -ray scanner. And
31:31
what we could see inside was a pistol magazine.
31:35
That's not a magazine that you read about pistols.
31:38
It is a clip full of bullets. When an officer
31:42
asked whether one was inside, Wingate said, there
31:45
shouldn't be. But there was. According to the
31:48
cops, there were 10 rounds of nine millimeter
31:51
ammo in there. He did have a valid Washington
31:56
concealed carry license, but told the investigators
31:59
he forgot that the magazine was in the bag, as
32:02
one can easily do. Ammunition is not obviously
32:05
allowed inside Senate office buildings. The authorities
32:09
say that then an exterior pocket contained a
32:13
sandwich bag holding four capsules and three
32:16
blue, apparently hand -pressed, tablets. A handheld
32:20
testing device produced a presumptive positive
32:23
result for cocaine and fentanyl. Wingates told
32:27
the investigators that the substances belonged
32:30
to him and had been prescribed by a medical professional.
32:38
like named Elon. A presumptive field test is
32:43
not the same as a final lab confirmation. So
32:47
we'll see what happens here. He's pled not guilty
32:49
to misdemeanor controlled substance charges.
32:54
He's out on the loose running the main streets
32:56
of DC due back in court a month from now on the
33:00
27th of August. No comment from he or his lawyers
33:04
or heritage. This reminds me a little bit of,
33:08
well, it's sort of like the cocaine found at
33:12
the White House. It also reminds me of what's
33:17
her name, Brittany Griner, when she got arrested
33:21
at the airport in Russia with her weed juice.
33:26
I mean, like you're going to a country that has
33:28
zero tolerance policy for drugs. Maybe you should
33:31
be careful when you pack your bag, you know,
33:33
if you're a drug addict. Well, here's the thing.
33:36
And I've been to the Heritage Foundation many
33:39
times to do interviews and stories and whatever.
33:42
And they're all very nice. Is every man legally
33:47
required to wear a bow tie? Kind of. Surprisingly,
33:54
Ted, nobody offered me any fentanyl or cocaine.
33:58
Well, that's just not polite. Though that's very
34:02
impolite up until this point. I didn't know this
34:04
was a thing and heritage Yes, everyone knows
34:08
I thought they were all like GOP dorks. They're
34:11
very nice I thought they were all egghead dorks,
34:14
but here's homeboy over here rocking, you know
34:17
his his mag full and Baggies full of coke and
34:22
fentanyl showing up to the Russell building which
34:25
I've been to a million times So how do you not
34:29
know that that shit is in there and what are
34:32
you carrying a briefcase? So clearly you're showing
34:34
up to go lobby somebody right like you're you're
34:37
showing up to go Talk to a senator. Who are you
34:41
planning on sharing this shit? I mean, okay,
34:47
he was going to meet someone for sure, but what
34:49
do you mean? He's not necessarily lobbying anyone.
34:52
I mean, he's carrying a briefcase, so fucking
34:54
what? He's probably got like a laptop in there.
34:56
Yeah, but that's what I'm saying. If you're a
34:59
heritage guy, you're in and out of GOP chambers
35:02
all the time, right? So you know the drill. So
35:06
how could you... Forget and then leave a have
35:12
a baggie. He says these are prescribed drugs
35:14
Why aren't they in their pill bottles then? Nobody
35:17
would have thought anything to nobody would have
35:19
thought to test them if they were in their pill
35:21
bottles with your name You have them in little
35:25
baggies Come on. Nobody was born yesterday. No,
35:29
but like I didn't fall off the turnip truck yesterday
35:32
Come on like bro, you thought you were gonna
35:37
get waved in That's what that implies to me because
35:39
i've again i've been to the russell building
35:41
a thousand times a thousand million times If
35:45
they know you they kind of just like they just
35:47
kind of flag you through right? Sure, and if
35:49
you're one of these like whatever Yeah, if you're
35:51
one of these think tank guys, which it seems
35:54
like he is he's one of the He wasn't doing a
35:57
lot of thinking before he right He did he just
36:00
think he was gonna get waved through this time.
36:02
So he thought he was gonna like like I I believe
36:05
the the the pistol mag, like maybe he forgot
36:09
he's a licensed carry, you know, conceal carry
36:12
guy, but the drugs, the drugs. So, which might
36:17
be this might be the little blue pill. Maybe
36:20
he's like trying to rock out with his cock out.
36:22
I don't know. I don't know. But I just know that
36:26
for all the people that think that all of these,
36:31
I don't care if you're on the left or the right,
36:33
the politicians are like dry and boring. I refer
36:37
you to Madison Cawthorn, the young one -time,
36:45
one -and -done congressman from North Carolina,
36:48
the good -looking young man that was in a wheelchair.
36:52
He blew the whistle and was like, they were trying
36:55
to do unchristian things. They were trying to
36:57
invite me to these sex parties with orgies and
36:59
drugs and blah, blah, blah. And then Congress
37:02
was in uproar over it. And he got primaried because
37:06
he was like blowing the whistle about how gross
37:09
everyone is. And mind you, he was a kid. He was
37:12
like 26 years old or something. So this is like.
37:15
I remember that. Thank you for reminding me of
37:17
that. I had totally forgotten about that. He's
37:20
a kid. So to him, this was kind of like, oh,
37:22
my God, you know, like he's never he hadn't been
37:24
around this stuff before. He wasn't like a Capitol
37:27
Hill page or something where you're introduced
37:29
early on when you're in college, right, where
37:31
you're like, oh, so this is how things are done
37:33
on Capitol Hill. He just showed up to the Capitol.
37:36
He was an insurgent candidate, shows up to the
37:38
Capitol and they were like. you know, showing
37:41
like Nancy Pelosi boobs to him or something.
37:43
And he was like, ah, and he blew the whistle
37:47
and he's like, oh my God, all of these old stuffy
37:50
people are doing blow off of like prostitutes,
37:54
but holes. And it's always the boring people
37:57
you have to watch out for. So that you know,
38:01
that's true. Have you ever been to a hotel like
38:04
where like you go to the Marriott and there's
38:06
a conference going on and it's for some really
38:10
boring like, you know, group of people, right?
38:13
Some just like who fucking knows like, you know,
38:17
county clerk, you know, county legal clerks convention.
38:22
Yeah and those people and then man if you happen
38:26
to be at the hotel bar like at 10 30 that night
38:29
holy shit it's like you know i need someone to
38:34
run a train on me yeah like gangbang in my room
38:38
i mean it's like it's on like donkey kong with
38:41
those people i mean that's what it's like in
38:44
dc i i but i didn't think this from the the heritage
38:48
not only heritage but anything tank i've been
38:50
to pretty much also right wingers are always
38:52
always the pervious probably lindsey graham whose
38:56
funeral is happening right now in south carolina
38:59
um but time of great joy for for us all It is
39:04
a sunny day here in DC. No matter what else is
39:06
not going well, Lindsey Graham is dead. We all
39:09
have to be happy about that. Look, it's a sunny
39:11
day here because Bibi has left, Zelensky has
39:14
left. It was gloomy and dark yesterday when they
39:17
had Lindsey Graham's like lying in state at the
39:20
rotunda. But today they've, you know, his body
39:22
has flown back home to the motherland in South
39:25
Carolina. And Zelensky is gone, Bibi is gone,
39:29
and the sun is shining here in DC. So is that
39:32
a coincidence? It's a beautiful thing. Maybe
39:34
maybe it's a coincidence. I'm just pointing out
39:36
that these things are happening here and and
39:38
to my shock I you know, I I interview people
39:43
like Mark Zandi, you know like and like all these
39:45
all these economist egghead types and and I I
39:49
never really think of them as the type that would
39:51
carry I'm not saying marks and Mark Zandi is
39:54
very nice Like this guy I would never imagine
39:57
that these Heritage Foundation guys would be
40:01
packing heat And packing the party. If you know
40:06
what I mean. They're not packing. He wasn't packing
40:08
heat. He was packing part of the heat. The thing
40:12
that heat goes in that goes into the heat. But
40:16
I'm saying he has a concealed carry. So he does
40:19
carry. Right. And he's like a think tank nerd.
40:23
Go figure. Look, it's not as crazy as like the
40:27
the Biden nuclear dude and his. Oh, yeah. His
40:32
predilections for, you know, other people's lady
40:35
luggage. In all fairness, as dangerous as Washington
40:39
DC is, if I went to go visit you, I can guarantee
40:42
you I would be carrying. Well, you'd have to
40:45
get it on the gun, right? On the plane. No, if
40:50
you drove here, you would have to have a concealed
40:52
license because it's completely illegal in the
40:54
district. Like you would have to have a specific
40:56
license. I know people. I won't get it. I just
40:59
do it. Well, fuck them. I know people here in
41:04
Virginia that have concealed carry licenses.
41:07
And before they enter the district, they stop
41:09
off somewhere, I guess, before you cross over
41:12
the 14th Street Bridge and park their firearms
41:16
somewhere. Because if you enter the district
41:18
and you're caught with it, it is a major felony.
41:22
Let me ask you a question. Is it a constitutional
41:25
right if you have to have a license? Do you have
41:27
to have a license to practice journalism? If
41:30
the answer is no, then why should I have to have
41:32
a license? In a way, you do have to have a license.
41:35
Like, for example, to be a White House press
41:38
correspondent, you have to have a license. I
41:40
don't think you should have to. I think anyone
41:43
who wants to show up should be able to. I agree.
41:46
Also like, and to your point further, Robbie,
41:50
is the First Amendment right to freedom of expression
41:53
real if you have to get a parade permit in order
41:57
to have a protest demonstration? The answer is
42:00
no. That's you getting consent from the people
42:03
that you want to protest against. Correct. By
42:06
definition, if you have to, it's just like, one
42:10
of the reasons why so many pastors left England.
42:16
and came to the United States, well, to colonial
42:19
America before the revolution is because the
42:21
Church of England and the Crown required you
42:23
get a license to preach. Who are you, King George,
42:28
to require me to get permission to speak holy
42:32
writ? It's a good question. Go to hell. If I
42:37
ever go to visit you, I will violate that stupid
42:42
law. I will be carrying heat. And if some thug
42:46
comes up and tries to attack me, I will kill
42:48
the fucker. Mayor Bowser's cops don't seem to
42:54
pat down all of the young thug and gang members
42:58
in Southwest or Southeast. And they're all packing.
43:04
But they will certainly and I've seen them do
43:07
pat downs of random tourists who look like you
43:11
Just saying But you can run around southeast
43:15
like shooting each other because there's like
43:16
multiple homicide gun death homicides across
43:20
Southeast DC all the time all every day every
43:24
day Yeah, and my child's a good question. How
43:26
do we go from modern -day gun rights to pre -colonial
43:29
pastoral licenses? It's it's easy if it is a
43:34
right You do not have to get the permission from
43:36
the state to exercise it. Or the, well, this
43:40
is the district. No, he means the state, like
43:43
as in a government agency, like the nation state.
43:48
That's the difference between liberty and freedom.
43:51
If you have freedom, you are, you're free to
43:53
do whatever you want to do within your yard.
43:56
Liberty means - You know, surprisingly, no, go
43:58
ahead, Robbie, finish. Liberty just means that
44:01
you own your person, you own your body, and the
44:05
only power that you give over to the state is
44:07
what you consent to give for government. The
44:11
Constitution is very clear. It is a list of negative
44:14
rights. It is a thing that the state cannot do.
44:18
That's the point. It has been completely inverted.
44:22
I'll say this. Having lived in the district for
44:25
several years, and lived in Arizona when I was
44:28
anchoring for CBS out there. Arizona, I don't
44:32
know if it still is, but back then it was an
44:35
open carry state. Technically Virginia is also,
44:39
but you know, I live in Northern Virginia where
44:41
it's very deep, deep blue. So you'll never see
44:44
open carry here, but you go out into the sticks
44:46
a little bit, you'll see open carry and gun racks
44:48
on trucks. But anyway, in Arizona, which is a
44:51
border state, and people openly open carry, Granny
44:57
is not afraid to show that she's packing on her
45:00
hip. Pistol packing, mama. On her brand new hip,
45:04
Ted. She's got a pistol on her brand new hip.
45:06
God bless her. Grandma is safe out there, and
45:12
there's certainly less gun -related deaths in
45:17
Arizona. I would say I can at least whittle it
45:21
down to per capita than there are here in DC.
45:25
DC is Very high in gun death violence and specifically
45:29
among young like gangbanger types. So We got
45:34
stories to go we got it. We got to move on. All
45:36
right. So to Robbie's point Yeah, when more people
45:39
are packing people are a little nicer That's
45:43
true All right So dinosaurs Robbie Robbie found
45:51
this one because he wanted me to share a fairy
45:54
tale This is from the Bible. So for decades,
46:00
scientists believed the asteroid that killed
46:03
the dinosaurs finished the job slowly, blocking
46:06
sunlight, freezing the planet, thus collapsing
46:09
the food chain over months or perhaps years.
46:12
But a brand new study suggests dinosaurs may
46:15
have never actually made it that far along. When
46:18
the chick saloop Asteroid? I'm not sure if I'm
46:23
saying that right. Well, that's like part, that's
46:25
the Mexican spinoff from Chick -fil -A. Chick
46:28
-salub asteroid. When that struck Mexico's Yucatan
46:32
Peninsula some 66 million years ago, it blasted
46:36
vaporized rock and debris all around the planet,
46:39
right? Some of that material cooled into tiny
46:42
glass -like droplets called spherules. Spherules.
46:47
which heated the atmosphere as they fell back
46:50
to Earth. Researchers now say an overlooked layer
46:54
of extremely fine dust may have trapped the heat
46:58
near the surface, essentially placing a lid over
47:01
the planet while the debris rained down. According
47:04
to their computer modeling, the dust increased
47:07
the heat reaching Earth's surface by approximately
47:10
three and a half times. That may have been enough
47:14
to ignite vegetation So like the burning bush,
47:18
poof, right? And kill large... That was my ex
47:21
-girlfriend when she got an STI. Oh, aw. Kill
47:26
large exposed animals within the first one to
47:29
two hours. So theoretically, like based on this
47:32
model, they're saying these big animals could
47:36
have died within like hours, not months and years.
47:40
So the dinosaur's final day, in other words,
47:43
May have involved less quiet shivering beneath
47:46
a darkened sky and considerably more global broiling
47:50
so they got fucking barbecued Animals hiding
47:54
underground or beneath water would have had the
47:57
best chance of surviving the initial heat That
48:01
could help explain why small mammals and aquatic
48:04
creatures and some bird -like dinosaurs lived
48:07
through that catastrophe. Scientists caution
48:09
that the evidence for truly worldwide fires remain
48:13
incomplete. The research is based on geological
48:16
evidence and atmospheric modeling, not eyewitness
48:20
testimony from any particularly unlucky Triceratops.
48:24
The dust may then have reversed the dust reversed
48:28
roles after trapping the initial heat. It could
48:31
have then blocked out sunlight for years and
48:33
years causing that long impact winter that scientists
48:38
already believe and know about. But apparently
48:41
the asteroid managed to turn earth into an oven
48:44
first and then turned it into a freezer. So that's,
48:48
I mean, that's pretty interesting. That's absolutely
48:52
terrifying. Can you imagine like I I've seen
48:57
all those horror? Depictions of the Yucatan Peninsula,
49:02
you know getting smacked by the asteroid And
49:05
I love that Robbie shared this story with with
49:07
me or with us even though he doesn't believe
49:10
it happened But I think that's fascinating and
49:16
they can probably checked with check with carbon
49:20
dating just saying So I don't know what to say
49:26
about that, Ted, other than what I thought of
49:31
when this article talked about the little fine
49:34
dust particles that went up into the air and
49:37
then first trapped the heat and then gave us
49:40
that asteroid winter, the long winter. I can
49:45
only imagine all the... unique chemical particles
49:50
that are floating into the air and all the weather
49:53
manipulation that you know companies if you trace
49:56
it back owned by Bill Gates or at least funded
49:59
by Bill Gates they're doing this they're doing
50:03
exactly this and they're calling it like a heat
50:07
shield from the Sun to help certain places like
50:09
oh I don't know the Emirates or Saudi Arabia
50:12
or whatever to cool it down a bit Because what
50:15
can go wrong, Ted? What can go wrong if the temperatures
50:18
on Earth don't stay the way nature intended it?
50:23
Nothing. Nothing could go wrong. Yeah. All right.
50:25
Let's jaws it. There you go. Unjaws. Don't forget.
50:32
De -jaw. It's gone. OK. I heard the jaws sound
50:35
this time, didn't you? Yeah. I heard it before,
50:37
too. But you have to de -jaw it. Remember, you
50:39
have to, like, remove it. Yeah, I did. All right.
50:42
Nearly 2 ,200 beagles, hello Snoopy, once headed
50:46
towards research labs, are instead getting something
50:49
radically experimental. Names, families, and
50:52
lives as actual dogs. The beagles were removed
50:55
from Riglin Farms, a Wisconsin breeding facility
51:01
that supplied beagles for biomedical research.
51:04
Rescue organizations have since transported them
51:07
across the country for medical treatment, rehabilitation,
51:10
and adoption. Some of the Beagles are now learning
51:13
ordinary things for the first time, walking on
51:15
the grass, climbing the stairs, playing with
51:18
toys, and sleeping in homes instead of cages.
51:21
Many remain frightened and poorly socialized
51:23
after spending their lives inside a commercial
51:25
breeding system. Foster families say seemingly
51:28
simple experiences, including doorways, household
51:31
noises, and human affection, could initially
51:34
overwhelm them. Richland... had faced years of
51:37
allegations involving poor conditions and mistreatment,
51:40
although the company denied wrongdoing. It eventually
51:43
agreed to give up its breeding license and stop
51:46
selling dogs for research. About 1 ,500 Beagles
51:50
were released during one major rescue operation.
51:53
Additional ones were saved through related efforts.
51:56
Organizations including Big Dog Ranch Rescue
51:58
and the Beagle Freedom Project are now placing
52:01
the dogs in forever homes. The Beagle Freedom
52:04
Help Project also campaigns for laws requiring
52:08
labs to offer surviving dogs and cats for adoption,
52:12
rather than automatically killing them when the
52:15
experiments end. Scientific research is important,
52:18
but we've always done it this way. It's not a
52:20
moral defense, obviously. The Beagles were bred
52:24
to be disposable research equipment. This is
52:28
My blood boils at this. Look, this kind of research,
52:34
I don't care if you're doing it, quote unquote,
52:37
humanely. I don't care if you're returning, you're
52:42
not going to kill them when the experiments are
52:44
done. Animal research should be illegal, especially
52:48
when you're talking about highly sentient mammals
52:51
like dogs and cats. Yeah, I mean this it should
52:56
just be illegal I don't have a lot of problem
52:59
with experiments on insects Although I could
53:01
change my mind about that in the future But right
53:04
now it's really fucking obvious that like there's
53:07
got to be a better way like I don't know what
53:10
the fuck you're using these dogs and cats for
53:13
but like Find another way like yeah, I can't
53:16
just stop When I read the the full like with
53:20
the human race the whole in -depth article on
53:22
this It was a it was a full like four page feature,
53:25
right? So it was a long article and I was I seriously
53:28
got misty -eyed I'm a big fan of doggos. I love
53:32
animals in general, but I mean like the doggos
53:34
are are my pet of choice and Beagles in particular.
53:39
Yeah, not only is it they're so cute not only
53:42
That's what Snoopy is, a beagle, but beagles
53:45
in particular were bred into being the dogs that
53:49
they are. I mean, they're hunting dogs, but they
53:51
were bred to be docile and to be insanely gentle
53:56
and trusting of humans. The very reason that
54:01
scientists, looking at you, JDC, that you guys
54:05
use beagles is that - They're easy to handle.
54:09
they're easy to, and they don't even get mad
54:11
at you. They don't snap at you even after you
54:13
do horrific things to them because their nature
54:16
is, is like so docile and just loving towards
54:21
humans. It keeps trusting you even though you
54:24
show it, even though you don't deserve it. Yeah.
54:27
Like, Oh, it was heartbreaking. And then to find
54:30
out that, so they test on these animals and then
54:33
when they're done, you just fucking kill them.
54:36
Like I, It's unfathomable to me that, like, you're
54:40
treating this little puppy, like, literally like
54:45
a tool, like a disposable, I don't know, syringe
54:48
that you're throwing out, right? Like, oh, God,
54:51
and that there are breeders that breathe specifically
54:54
to give them to these... Look, here's the thing
54:57
is also, look, there's... I'll tell you, here's
55:00
the thing. Whenever I smell secrecy, I smell
55:04
evil. And so, all right, let's just say for the
55:07
sake of argument, as John D. Kakefeller says,
55:10
our resident scientist, we need this for biological,
55:14
we need animal research for modern science. If
55:18
that's true, then let's have a big national conversation
55:22
about it. Let's. have transparency. Let's have
55:26
video of exactly what happens. And let's talk
55:29
about it. But the truth is, this is all kept
55:31
down on the DL. It's on the hush hush. It's on
55:34
the down low. And like nobody, they don't want
55:37
the American people to know what they're doing,
55:39
because they think the American people would
55:41
disapprove. And if that's true, then I guess
55:45
no modern science, right? I mean, but basically,
55:50
like if you have a case to be made that like
55:53
killing Clovis is important for saving people,
55:57
then okay, you're gonna have to prove that to
56:00
me. You're not, you can't just like do it in
56:03
the, in the, you know, in the shade and hope
56:06
that nobody pays attention. And that's what they're
56:09
doing. And like, so from We only hear about these
56:12
things when a group like PETA or ELF or ALF breaks
56:17
into a lab and gets photos and puts them on the
56:19
internet. And it's all kept secret because they
56:22
don't want us to know. Well, the price, this
56:25
is kind of like with Fauci. He was a Beagle user.
56:31
If you're secretive, then... You know, I'm going
56:35
to assume that you're doing this for fun, for
56:39
cosmetics, for shit that's not important, not
56:42
necessary, doesn't need to be done. I'm just
56:44
going to assume that. And, you know, so, so like,
56:49
the burden of proof on torturing animals being
56:55
necessary for the human race. That burden of
56:58
proof is on the would -be torturers. The burden
57:01
of proof is not on animal rights people to prove
57:03
that they're not needed for science. Yeah, JDC
57:08
says, in fairness, I have never used a beagle.
57:11
In fact, I own a research beagle as a pet. That's
57:14
nice. However, you do not get to enjoy the benefits
57:17
of modern medicine while simultaneously condemning
57:19
the methods. Can we all know what the methods
57:21
are though, JDC? It's probably too long to list,
57:26
but you have to test it on something that's alive
57:29
probably, right? I don't know, genetic makeup
57:34
or something has to be similar enough, I guess.
57:37
What exactly are you testing? What exactly are
57:40
you testing? I don't know. If you're testing
57:43
a cancer drug, I get it. But what are you testing?
57:46
At this point in history, in time, in 2026, I
57:51
feel like there are other modes that we can use
57:56
for testing and not Fucking beagles not not dogs
58:01
not puppy like I don't know if you have to eat
58:04
I don't even want to say like Like I don't know
58:07
the the animals that are about to be killed.
58:10
I don't know. I just don't at the shelters I
58:12
don't know I don't know I just don't like the
58:14
idea of using any of these animals at this stage.
58:17
We've come so far in Science like we we can we
58:22
can do so much we can make fake beef That bleeds
58:28
right quote -unquote bleed. I'm glad you brought
58:31
that up Manila because I was kind of thinking
58:32
about that Like what about we could grow flesh
58:35
in a lab? Yeah could is that? Possibly part of
58:40
the solution like oh just it breaks my heart
58:43
this thousands of dogs were rescued ten thousands
58:48
like How many dogs are going to these labs around
58:52
the country? JDC says, to be clear, I don't in
58:55
any way advocate for animal use for stuff like
58:58
cosmetics and BS like that. I use research animals
59:01
for testing immune responses and host pathogen
59:04
interactions. I mean, if there's a justification,
59:08
it's going to be there. But I still think there
59:10
should be transparency. If it could potentially
59:13
cause suffering, I couldn't. I mean, we don't
59:16
even need cosmetics. Cosmetics shouldn't even
59:19
be legal. Get rid of cosmetics. Why don't we
59:23
just do it on pedophiles and drug dealers? I'm
59:26
okay with that. I'm serious. Think about what
59:28
I just said. The animal has no choice. If you
59:31
go and if you commit a crime like that, I mean,
59:36
listen, I have no problem with, let's say, Dr.
59:40
Fauci. getting a dose of his own medicine in
59:43
the most literal sense. He was a prolific Beagle
59:46
user. That's true. He used to use fleas and put
59:51
their heads in cages and let the fleas just eat
59:54
their flesh off. I mean the man is a ghoul. Like
59:59
oh, it just this is heartbreaking. And yes, that's
1:00:02
timely because he's on the hill right now and
1:00:04
he keeps saying I'm using my The well -dressed
1:00:08
narrative says no testing on cute animals test
1:00:11
on ugly animals instead like hyenas and adult
1:00:14
possums. Oh Yeah, yeah, nobody has sympathy.
1:00:17
Nobody has sympathy for a hyena and our adult
1:00:21
possum Yeah, I guess possums are just nasty.
1:00:23
Yeah They are. They are ugly. They have kind
1:00:26
of a cute face if you look up close. No, as babies,
1:00:30
they do. But then once they get reach maturity,
1:00:33
they're. I had a pet possum. Oh, full size. Yeah,
1:00:38
full size. I mean, I mean, he would curl up in
1:00:42
the wintertime. Like he'd curl up next to me
1:00:44
up under the bridge and stuff. And he was great
1:00:47
because he was so cute. They just did a really
1:00:51
good job. Did you carry him with you or did he
1:00:52
like? He just followed me. You just followed
1:00:54
me around? Yeah. Well, because we're both eating
1:00:56
in the same places. So it was just, I mean, seriously,
1:01:00
I mean, that, that possum was, was great. She
1:01:02
had a bunch of little babies and they were just.
1:01:05
Yeah. Possums are pretty cute. I have to say
1:01:07
when they're little, I don't know. I've never
1:01:10
seen a nice one. I don't know. But anyway, yeah,
1:01:12
they're, they don't tend to get porcupines would
1:01:15
be hard to handle. Hedgehogs are cute. Very cute.
1:01:20
Those are cute, but I don't know about possums,
1:01:22
but yeah. I don't know. Any animal testing, I'm
1:01:25
a sucker. Look, we're all meat eaters on this
1:01:29
show. We're not saying like, oh, you should go
1:01:31
all vegan and whatever. I don't believe that
1:01:33
at all. Phyllis, Bob goes, what good would transparency
1:01:36
do if someone like Ted would just reject it and
1:01:38
say, as a non -scientist, I want to know why
1:01:41
you don't just do X instead? That's the arrogance
1:01:44
that I'm talking about among elites. Oh, we know
1:01:48
better. We know better than the American people
1:01:51
whether we're going to tell them that about N95
1:01:54
masks and whether they have efficacy or not.
1:01:56
We're going to decide that for you. We're going
1:01:59
to decide for the American people whether we're
1:02:02
going to be an animal research country or not.
1:02:08
You know the danger of democracy and and freedom
1:02:13
where we all get to weigh in is that everybody
1:02:16
including retards like me get a vote and so I
1:02:19
do think like if if you want to do something
1:02:23
that goes counter to Something that feels really
1:02:27
basic which is don't hurt animals if you want
1:02:30
to do that You've got to explain yourself. You
1:02:33
just do. And if you can't explain yourself, then
1:02:36
you're not going to be able to do it. And I'm
1:02:38
sorry. I don't think that's... I'm sorry to inconvenience
1:02:41
you to have to explain yourself while you're
1:02:45
fucking, you know, executing beagles. But yeah,
1:02:48
you're going to have to explain yourself. Under
1:02:50
a Ted Rawl administration, you will have to explain
1:02:52
yourself. Could you guys... Would you be with
1:02:55
me in drawing a distinction? I mean, being that
1:02:57
we love animals on this show, all of us, but
1:03:01
there is a distinction between this beagle story
1:03:04
and say animals that we eat like cows and chicken
1:03:07
even though i fucking hate the factory farm like
1:03:11
just all of that stuff is gross and disgusting
1:03:13
but if we're gonna to eat there is a difference
1:03:17
between using the animals for eating versus testing
1:03:21
them I mean, there is a distinction, right? Like
1:03:25
we can't just be like, love them all, don't kill
1:03:28
them. They're not the same thing. I want to eat
1:03:30
them. I want to eat some. What you do with the
1:03:35
factory egg laying facilities is just as bad
1:03:38
as what they do in the labs. I mean, they cut
1:03:43
the chicken's legs off, dump them full of jugs,
1:03:45
and they just constantly lay. They lay until
1:03:48
they die. So, there's no real difference there.
1:03:51
The difference is, it comes down to being a steward
1:03:55
of what you have and the rape of the natural
1:03:57
world. Those are two very different things. Yeah.
1:04:01
This is, I think that's something like Native
1:04:04
Americans, well, you would know better than us,
1:04:06
Robbie. I mean, I only live next door to some
1:04:08
Natives in Arizona, but you're amongst many tribes.
1:04:14
That was part of a lot of how they view the world.
1:04:17
right? It's like you take what you need and that's
1:04:21
it. Well, Christianity is just the same thing.
1:04:24
If you go through, if you read the biblical law,
1:04:27
it talks about, if you're going to go get some
1:04:30
eggs out of a nest, you take the eggs, but you
1:04:32
don't kill the mama bird. So that's, I mean,
1:04:36
if you have to live off the land, you learn that
1:04:39
you have to live off the land. There's a difference
1:04:41
between fleecing the sheep and filleting the
1:04:43
sheep. Those are two very different things. And
1:04:46
where we are right now as a society, and especially
1:04:50
with the need of making a profit off of everything,
1:04:53
is that the only way that you can do it with
1:04:55
shrinking profit margins is that you have to
1:04:57
increase production to the point where you can
1:04:59
overcome it. That's where we are right now. And
1:05:02
that's the problem. And it doesn't matter if
1:05:05
it's cosmetics, which I agree with Ted, are stupid.
1:05:08
There's no point in it versus testing animals
1:05:12
for medicines. I get that. I can understand it.
1:05:15
That would be a case. I wasn't being flippant
1:05:18
about it. If you are convicted of murder, a pedophilia
1:05:23
or something, you should be the test pig and
1:05:26
not some beagles who didn't do anything wrong.
1:05:30
Test it on the predator. I'm dead serious. Yeah,
1:05:34
I can sit behind that. No sympathy there. But
1:05:37
these fucking thousands of beagles are now looking
1:05:40
for homes. So if you guys are like looking for
1:05:44
Cute docile dog that needs to learn what a bed
1:05:47
feels like and what a family feels like I'll
1:05:50
tell you guys the name again of these foundations
1:05:53
like this is one of them down in Florida in Robbie's
1:05:57
motherland so it's called big dog ranch rescue
1:06:00
and Beagle freedom project There they are looking
1:06:06
for permanent permanent homes for these thousands
1:06:09
of rescued beagles, varying in ages from puppies
1:06:14
to old timer survivor test dogs. Like, aw, aw,
1:06:20
sad. But anyway, there's your weird news for
1:06:23
Wednesday. That does it for us. So, we out? Yes,
1:06:28
Robbie. Oh, we're raiding? Do we have an ad we
1:06:30
have to do before we out? I don't see any ads,
1:06:33
but a quick thing. So, Pickaxe, a friend of the
1:06:36
show, Jeff Dornick, some of y 'all may be interested
1:06:40
in this. At noon today, 2 p .m. Eastern time,
1:06:47
Dinesh D'Souza will be debating JD Hall on Pickaxe's
1:06:51
Rumble Channel about, has the church replaced
1:06:55
Israel? So that's going to be a really wild debate.
1:06:59
It definitely pulls into the political discussion,
1:07:03
especially when it comes to Zionism. Take a look
1:07:06
at that. And yeah, I did find us a little gaming
1:07:08
channel. The dude has seven followers on his
1:07:10
channel. So we're going to help that. We're going
1:07:12
to rate him. And then we do have an ad from Rumble
1:07:16
Wallet. So we'll just go ahead and throw that
1:07:18
up there on our way out. All right. So we hear
1:07:25
a lot about crypto, but there's here's the part.
1:07:29
Here's the part most people miss crypto was created
1:07:32
so you could actually own and control your money
1:07:35
after the 2008 financial crisis Bitcoin was designed
1:07:38
as an alternative to banks So instead of a bank
1:07:41
holding your money delaying transfers or limiting
1:07:43
access you're in control and if you've ever had
1:07:47
to wait for a transfer to clear, you felt that
1:07:50
problem. Now fast forward to today. Everyone's
1:07:53
