• 1:34
  and let's kick this thing off. And so here she is, the great Sam Boldrick. How are you?
• 1:41
  Great. Great. Happy to see you. Yeah, it's been a while. Last time I was on your show,
• 1:46
  but we've stayed in touch since.
• 1:48
  And I'm one of those guys that if I like your work,
• 1:51
  I actually listen to it and I do listen to your show.
• 1:53
  And most of the guests I've had,
• 1:54
  I listen to their actual shows if you're a podcaster.
• 1:58
  So I do give you that support.
• 2:00
  I give you that extra download anyway.
• 2:03
  Yeah, I appreciate it.
• 2:04
  Yep.
• 2:05
  Yeah, I enjoy your show as well.
• 2:07
  I know we're going to be talking about,
• 2:08
  what is it, Abdul Syatica a little bit today?
• 2:11
  Yes, I call him Syatica.
• 2:13
  We'll talk about him a bit, a little bit.
• 2:16
  But before we get there, let's do this because I don't know if everyone's familiar with you.
• 2:22
  I think some are.
• 2:24
  But why don't you give them a little backstory, tell them about the show a bit and what you're about.
• 2:29
  And then we're going to take off from there.
• 2:31
  Yeah, sounds good.
• 2:33
  Well, yeah, I started my podcast back in December 2024.
• 2:38
  for. I have a job where I have a lot of time to think, and I wanted to do something a little bit
• 2:47
  more creative. I had worked, the Trump campaign was a caucus captain. And after Iowa caucus was
• 2:58
  over, I kind of was left feeling empty. And so really, I didn't want to go out and find a new
• 3:09
  career. I want to stay in my job as a water operator. So I decided I should start a podcast
• 3:14
  because everybody was already asking me what... Oh, well, what's going on with this? What's going
• 3:22
  on with that? If they wanted an update on politics, they would come to me for it.
• 3:27
  So I started a podcast and I wanted to just do rundowns.
• 3:32
  It used to be like every couple days.
• 3:35
  Now it's once a week.
• 3:36
  I do rundowns of the news for the week and then started doing interviews.
• 3:45
  And now I'm doing roundtables.
• 3:48
  So it's basically a little bit of both.
• 3:52
  You get to hear some conversation with other people and bounce ideas off of each other.
• 3:57
  Or you can listen to a 30-minute or less rundown from the week to get caught up.
• 4:04
  There you are.
• 4:04
  And I'm going to be on one of those roundtables soon.
• 4:06
  Yes.
• 4:07
  Yes.
• 4:07
  We're going to be on my schedule.
• 4:09
  We're both busy as hell.
• 4:11
  Every time we try to line something up, everyone listening, she does reach out.
• 4:15
  Hey, are you?
• 4:16
  No.
• 4:16
  Okay.
• 4:17
  And then same thing for her because her day job.
• 4:19
  And obviously doing this, we both actually do have day jobs.
• 4:22
  But we're trying to get your support so we don't have to do that anymore.
• 4:25
  But anyway, that's besides the point.
• 4:27
  Yeah.
• 4:27
  All right.
• 4:29
  So with that being said, Sam, let's dive into this crazy ass couple of weeks that's happened in the world.
• 4:35
  But nothing crazier right now than the support of a woman who killed her three children, allegedly, but not really because her defense actually admitted to everyone that she did.
• 4:44
  So this is a strange one, this Lindsay Clancy case.
• 4:47
  I want to get your thoughts on that from your perspective.
• 4:50
  So I honestly first heard about this from friends that were debating on whether it was the husband
• 4:58
  or her. So I kind of got like other people's opinions on it. I will say I haven't followed
• 5:05
  it super closely, but it's like something that you can't escape. So I think this isn't going to
• 5:15
  be a shock, but obviously the mental health thing, big pharma prescribing all these medications
• 5:21
  needs to be addressed. But she killed her kids and she sent her husband out of the house
• 5:27
  so that she could kill her kids. That shows premeditation. She knows that that's wrong.
• 5:36
  You can't just kill your kids. So why didn't she call somebody for help? And then you find out that
• 5:44
  She actually had all the support, like a nanny, parents around, all this extra help for the kids.
• 5:55
  So I'm just not taking the whole mental health or psychosis or postpartum, whatever the excuse is.
• 6:02
  It's not acceptable.
• 6:04
  She knew she was going to do something wrong.
• 6:06
  And that's why she sent her husband out of the house.
• 6:08
  If she would have just tried to kill herself, that would have been a better option.
• 6:14
  which I guess a lot of people do that.
• 6:19
  They kill people and then kill themselves.
• 6:21
  I think she tried to.
• 6:23
  From what I read, I think she slit her wrists, her throat.
• 6:27
  Not sure to what degree she actually slit her throat,
• 6:30
  but she did jump out of that second story window,
• 6:33
  which rendered her pretty much, I think she's paralyzed.
• 6:36
  That's why she's in the wheelchair.
• 6:38
  It was because of that jump.
• 6:39
  I wish she would have just done that first.
• 6:41
  you know like so um so yeah i like so you know like it's not that i don't have empathy for
• 6:50
  people struggling with mental illness and it's not like i don't recognize that um her mind could
• 6:57
  have been warped by these medications and i do believe that doctors need to be held accountable
• 7:01
  for this however the women standing in pink say supporting her and not her children that makes
• 7:11
  women look bad. And I don't know if you've seen, I've been having some feelings about this where
• 7:15
  now because of other women acting batshit crazy out there, people are starting to support the idea
• 7:22
  that women should lose their right to vote. Yeah. Was it they were talking about repealing
• 7:27
  the 19th Amendment? Yeah. Yeah. And it's a mess. And then I get online and I see all these
• 7:38
  videos of women saying, I feel you, Lindsay, I feel you, Lindsay, while they're choosing not to
• 7:44
  console their crying child. Or, I mean, just basically recording themselves being horrible
• 7:51
  mothers. I think every father should take the kid away from a situation like that.
• 7:58
  Yeah.
• 7:58
  And why did her husband leave her alone with the child?
• 8:03
  Or children, sorry.
• 8:04
  Yeah, there's some fuzzy stuff here. So I'm not sure at what point she was actually considered to be having issues mentally because I know that she was on a regimen of pills. I don't know if I have it with me anymore, the picture I used to. I did it on a previous episode, but it was definitely a regimen of medications for a six-month period.
• 8:25
  And what I will say that I can accept partially in the defense is, as you said about doctors being held responsible medications, is that there were quite a few on there that seemed like they probably wouldn't work together.
• 8:39
  And it was multiples over a six-month period.
• 8:41
  It wasn't like she was just given one type of medication.
• 8:44
  She was, I think it was on three, at least three or four that I recognized.
• 8:49
  And I wish I could pull that up.
• 8:51
  But anyway, if you look into it, I think you might even still find it on X because someone actually had it up.
• 8:55
  there was about, I want to say at least three to four different medications she was taking at one time through a six-month period is what it was.
• 9:02
  And I'm not sure how the husband really felt about it or how far he thought this went.
• 9:08
  Because postpartum, just from what I've read, I don't know for sure.
• 9:12
  But usually it's not something that lasts two years, three years, whatever.
• 9:18
  And so she killed her children, which were five, three, and eight months.
• 9:23
  Now, the whole thing about the father is interesting.
• 9:27
  It's like, why would he leave?
• 9:28
  Well, maybe he trusted her.
• 9:30
  I don't know.
• 9:30
  Maybe she was on the medication.
• 9:32
  She sent him out to get pills, from what I read.
• 9:36
  But knowing there was an issue, yes, why did he leave?
• 9:39
  That is something that is in question.
• 9:41
  But that still doesn't excuse her from something that seems to be premeditated.
• 9:44
  Because this wasn't like a spur of the moment emotional reaction to her kids screaming at her, for example.
• 9:51
  She sent the husband out.
• 9:53
  While he was out is when she had the opportunity
• 9:54
  to bring the kids to the garage
• 9:56
  and then strangle them with her exercise bands.
• 9:58
  And that's something you got to be upfront.
• 10:00
  You're close and personal.
• 10:01
  It's not like you're just shooting them with a gun from afar
• 10:04
  and calling it a day and not having to look at their face.
• 10:06
  So there was definitely more to this.
• 10:09
  And then she claimed that she heard a voice telling her things.
• 10:13
  Allegedly on a phone,
• 10:14
  or I'm not sure if it was in her own head.
• 10:16
  But I don't think she really has a real excuse.
• 10:20
  Aside from I can say that
• 10:23
  if she was on that plethora of medications,
• 10:27
  that can mess with you.
• 10:28
  That can definitely mess with you.
• 10:30
  But is it enough to excuse the action?
• 10:33
  And then in the case when her legal defense
• 10:35
  from the outset admitted the guilt,
• 10:38
  saying, yeah, she killed him.
• 10:39
  So what exactly are we having this case for?
• 10:43
  Why are we in court if it's been admitted?
• 10:48
  She's just trying to shift the blame
• 10:49
  to her health practitioners, right?
• 10:51
  And to the pharmaceuticals that she was taking.
• 10:55
  So I'm not, because you say you don't follow this as close.
• 10:59
  I'm kind of foggy a little too, because I'm not, is she just trying to avoid a death penalty?
• 11:03
  Or like what, I'm not sure what she's trying to do here.
• 11:06
  Right.
• 11:07
  Yeah.
• 11:08
  I'm not sure what her, what she's hoping for as an outcome.
• 11:13
  You know, like I don't care if she goes to prison for life or a mental facility for life,
• 11:19
  but she can't get that feedback out.
• 11:21
  on the streets.
• 11:22
  That's.
• 11:23
  No.
• 11:24
  She'll do it again.
• 11:25
  You know.
• 11:26
  So here's what's interesting, Sam.
• 11:29
  And I.
• 11:30
  Here's a.
• 11:31
  I got a little clip here of the judge.
• 11:33
  Okay.
• 11:34
  And so.
• 11:36
  Apparently.
• 11:39
  They couldn't come to a unanimous decision about her sentencing.
• 11:43
  Even though everything we just said.
• 11:46
  The admission to killing the kids.
• 11:48
  Everything.
• 11:48
  And this is the judge calls the jury back.
• 11:52
  So members of the jury, I've got your question.
• 11:55
  And the question is, after many hours of deliberation, we are unable to come to a unanimous decision.
• 12:02
  I brought you back out because I know that this was a long trial.
• 12:08
  All right.
• 12:08
  I know there were over 80 witnesses.
• 12:11
  There were over 300 exhibits.
• 12:13
  but because of that
• 12:16
  I'm going to ask you to go back out
• 12:19
  keeping in mind all the instructions that I gave you
• 12:23
  to go out and to continue
• 12:25
  your deliberations at this time
• 12:28
  and so with that I'm going to ask you to go back out
• 12:31
  like I said keep in mind the instructions I gave you
• 12:35
  reviewing the evidence and I'd ask you to
• 12:37
  resume your deliberations at this time
• 12:40
  I'm not sure what the holdup was here in terms of the sentencing or deliberation given all
• 12:51
  the evidence, right?
• 12:53
  And look at her face.
• 12:54
  I mean I don think she opinion by the way just I mean everyone acts different but she doesn seem like someone who feeling any kind of remorse or whatnot I think she just more worried about herself her sentencing
• 13:07
  rather than
• 13:08
  the actions that she took.
• 13:12
  At least that's what it looked like to me.
• 13:16
  How do you feel
• 13:17
  about that? A jury that couldn't
• 13:19
  come to a conclusion? And from what I read,
• 13:21
  there are some people on that jury
• 13:23
  or actually there was a lot of them that were wearing the pink
• 13:25
  shirts, we support Lindsay. How did they not even just dismiss the jury and just do this case over?
• 13:34
  I don't get it. So I do wonder if this is going to have to be retried.
• 13:42
  I think I saw somewhere this morning that someone was actually in court for filming or threatening
• 13:50
  the jury. The judge should have ordered them to be sequestered. There's no escaping this news.
• 14:01
  And I keep seeing that it's like three guys against six women or whatever or nine women on
• 14:07
  what to charge her. So I feel like the big debate is whether they're going to charge her for homicide
• 14:13
  or manslaughter. Is that correct? Yeah, because I think it would carry a different
• 14:20
  absolutely obviously would create a different sentence but either way she's going she's going
• 14:25
  to spend time i mean the manslaughter would definitely be less time it wouldn't be a death
• 14:30
  sentence if that's what was on the table again i'm foggy on that yeah but i mean the whole thing
• 14:35
  about her shifting the blame and as you said earlier women who are supporting her there was
• 14:39
  women on video saying you don't understand and there's times i feel like killing my kid and you
• 14:44
  don't understand what's like being a mother and etc right and i think this does look bad for women
• 14:49
  in general. And as a woman, you're giving your opinion on this, which one of the reasons I wanted
• 14:54
  to bring this up is because I wanted your perspective. I don't have a lot of women guests.
• 14:58
  I have a few, but this fell right in between scheduling people on the show. And you were like,
• 15:05
  you're the one coming on where this happened. This just happened. So I thought it'd be very
• 15:10
  important to get your perspective versus just a bunch of guys going, she deserves a death penalty.
• 15:16
  I wanted to get your perspective on it.
• 15:18
  Yeah.
• 15:18
  Yeah.
• 15:18
  No, I might be harsher than other women.
• 15:22
  But my thing is, like you said, she doesn't show remorse.
• 15:26
  And all we're seeing is those big dark eyes and that plain face with the flat nose.
• 15:32
  People have mentioned maybe if she wasn't so attractive, people would be harder on her for it.
• 15:39
  I don't know if that's true or not.
• 15:40
  I think that there's just a growing mental illness among American citizens in general
• 15:49
  that's causing this to be such a thing. Because we're also seeing people sticking up for Carmelo
• 15:56
  Anthony and Luigi Mangione. Did you see that video that Spencer Pratt put out?
• 16:02
  I did not.
• 16:04
  He was basically talking about the decline of American citizens. We're making
• 16:10
  excuses for horrible people. As if, you know, like, oh, I mean, you can basically get out of
• 16:17
  anything now. If you say that you have a mental illness and it's even easier for a woman to say,
• 16:22
  oh, my brain, it's messed up. So I did that fucked up thing and now I don't need to face
• 16:28
  repercussions because it wasn't my fault. Crazy, yeah.
• 16:31
  Yeah, it upsets me to see this as a woman because I know that women are more likely to make an emotional judgment when it comes to things.
• 16:46
  And in a ways, I agree that if we're going to have a female president or a female CEO, they really need to have their shit together.
• 16:57
  and I know that a lot of women aren't good candidates for that and this is just kind of
• 17:05
  proving it you know I'm uh I'm not I'm looking around because I'm I what I'm trying to do is
• 17:11
  there was something else that just happened to involve a woman and this I'm sorry but this is
• 17:15
  not an anti-woman show it's just it just seems to be something that keeps happening lately and
• 17:22
  I think women are looked at in a bad light because of what's going on yeah and there's definitely a
• 17:27
  mental health issue, but I think it also goes beyond mental health.
• 17:30
  I think it's, it's been the reinforcement of what is good and bad on social media.
• 17:34
  The, the, the housewives of fucking Beverly Hills, New Jersey and all this stuff.
• 17:38
  And, you know, it's, it's like all this, all this, all this, all this portrait, the portrayal
• 17:45
  of life that isn't reality that I think some women are chasing and feeling like, oh, why
• 17:51
  not me?
• 17:52
  Like, how come I don't have this?
• 17:53
  You know, my man's a piece of shit.
• 17:54
  Cause he's not giving me this or that.
• 17:56
  and I'm not saying it's all man hate,
• 17:58
  but there's something that is twisting people up
• 18:01
  to believe that they can get away with certain things.
• 18:04
  There's going to be no repercussions
• 18:06
  because they see it online
• 18:07
  or they hear someone talking about,
• 18:11
  like again on the Housewife show,
• 18:12
  those things are as toxic as you can get.
• 18:14
  All they do is fight and yell at each other.
• 18:16
  Yeah.
• 18:16
  And I don't know if that over time
• 18:18
  is just driving people to basically accept
• 18:21
  this particular behavior in women,
• 18:22
  but there's guys too,
• 18:23
  they're doing dumb shit too.
• 18:24
  So it's not just women.
• 18:26
  It's like there's this weird thing going on, as you said, where abhorrent behavior is becoming acceptable.
• 18:33
  The root cause of it, not quite sure, but I am going to blame social media for a lot of it and short attention spans for sure.
• 18:40
  And maybe, I think you're on to something with the mental health.
• 18:43
  I think there is a mental health issue, but I think a lot of it is attributed to a doctor right away going, well, maybe put this pill in your mouth because this might balance you out.
• 18:51
  And if people don't question the medication, they're just like, oh, okay, sure. I'll take
• 18:56
  lithium or Xanax or whatever it is. And they just go with it. And these chemicals over time just
• 19:02
  imbalance you. Again, I'm not a doctor, but I think you would have to question when the first
• 19:07
  thing they want to do outside of trying to work with you is to just give you a pill.
• 19:13
  Yeah.
• 19:14
  And we're all dedicated.
• 19:16
  Yeah. Yeah. And I've actually had experience with that where I have anxiety and
• 19:21
  come to find out it's kind of related to POTS, which I didn't get diagnosed with until my friend
• 19:27
  actually took the place of my doctor and actually gave a shit to pay attention to like,
• 19:33
  why does my heart race every time I drink? But when I first went to a doctor about anxiety,
• 19:40
  they didn't tell me to stay away from caffeine, alcohol, sleep enough hours of the day,
• 19:47
  get some exercise. They're just like, hey, here's a 40 milligram tablet of Paxil. Go ahead and try
• 19:52
  that. Then I gained like 40 pounds in one summer and don't give a crap about anything but drinking
• 19:59
  and partying. Because it changes. It does change you. And so finally, I'm like, all right,
• 20:06
  I got to get off of this medication. Then it takes forever to get all of it because you're
• 20:11
  addicted to it. But yeah, I'm luckier than others with anxiety that if I eat right and stay away
• 20:22
  from junk food and exercise when I'm feeling anxious or pissed off, that's how I manage
• 20:29
  anxiety. There's a healthier lifestyle should be what's pushed first.
• 20:35
  I mean, yeah, there you go.
• 20:38
  You hit nail on the head.
• 20:39
  It's look at the diet.
• 20:41
  The diet's everything.
• 20:42
  The diet is everything.
• 20:44
  Diet, lifestyle, all of that can contribute to your mood.
• 20:47
  And you can spiral into a downward spiral of uncontrollable depression, which just gets worse and worse every day.
• 20:55
  Yeah, I mean, you hit the nail on the head right there.
• 20:58
  I just wish more doctors or practitioners would actually do that first and ask, okay, what do you eat?
• 21:06
  What are you eating?
• 21:07
  What's your diet like?
• 21:08
  How often are you getting exercise?
• 21:10
  They don't really ask those questions.
• 21:12
  They really don't, which is strange to me because that's the first thing you should look at.
• 21:18
  But again, hey, I'm not a doctor, so what do I know?
• 21:22
  So this happened.
• 21:24
  And this is what I wanted to bring up because while we're talking, I don't know if you saw this.
• 21:28
  So this lady, this just happened in New York where she killed, it was a vice president.
• 21:33
  I don't know if she was vice president of a bank or what it was, but she was wielding knives, stabbed a lady to death.
• 21:40
  Or she killed a guy, stabbed a guy and stabbed her to death.
• 21:45
  And then the police were trying to detain her and ended up having to shoot her.
• 21:48
  and then this is where this is where it's crazy because we're just talking about how
• 21:52
  people are starting to make excuses for certain behavior and then the online backlash is like the
• 21:58
  cops could have dissect de-escalated they had no reason to shoot like why did they even have to do
• 22:02
  that they could have talked to her it's like yeah and you're gonna see the video she has two knives
• 22:06
  they're not butter knives these are these are like cooking knives like sharp she already killed
• 22:10
  someone she had another like i'm not sure where we're even having a discussion about the cops you
• 22:17
  basically taking care of. But anyway, let's check this clip out.
• 22:47
  I'm going to pause real quick.
• 22:49
  So I don't know what she's thinking,
• 22:52
  but I mean,
• 22:55
  she has two knives.
• 22:55
  She's not listening to officers.
• 22:57
  So officers respond.
• 22:59
  And basically,
• 23:01
  she ends up getting shot.
• 23:03
  Okay.
• 23:04
  Yeah.
• 23:05
  And so this lady,
• 23:06
  people are trying to make excuses
• 23:09
  for how the officers handled her,
• 23:12
  even though she wasn't listening
• 23:13
  to the police officers whatsoever.
• 23:15
  Right.
• 23:15
  And again,
• 23:16
  And another example of people trying to make arguments for behavior that should never, ever be acceptable.
• 23:22
  I mean, damn, is this like end of times?
• 23:24
  Like, what's going on?
• 23:25
  Are the demons loose?
• 23:26
  You know?
• 23:27
  Sure sounds like it.
• 23:29
  You know, I mean, just from that video, she's surrounded by officers with guns.
• 23:33
  If she wanted to make it out of their lives, she could have just dropped the knives and complied.
• 23:39
  Yeah.
• 23:39
  Why is that not considered an option anymore?
• 23:44
  It's not hard to comply.
• 23:46
  just do what the cops tell you to,
• 23:48
  and you're going to make it out of there okay.
• 23:50
  But yeah,
• 23:52
  the other thing I was thinking with all this,
• 23:55
  including the Lindsay Clancy protesters
• 23:58
  and all those psychos,
• 23:59
  but are they getting paid?
• 24:02
  Oh.
• 24:04
  You know, because how many bots are out there?
• 24:06
  How many?
• 24:07
  I believe that there are real people.
• 24:09
  Are you talking about the people responding
• 24:09
  to these social media posts?
• 24:11
  Mm-hmm.
• 24:12
  Oh, yeah.
• 24:14
  In support.
• 24:15
  the ones supporting
• 24:18
  the abhorrent behavior.
• 24:20
  It's George Soros, man.
• 24:22
  Yeah, right.
• 24:24
  It's that big conspiracy.
• 24:26
  But no, I think you're onto something.
• 24:27
  Are they paid agitators
• 24:29
  and protesters?
• 24:30
  Is someone really pulling the strings?
• 24:33
  Could be.
• 24:34
  It's hard to disprove,
• 24:37
  but it's also kind of hard to not consider.
• 24:40
  But yeah,
• 24:41
  you may be onto something there.
• 24:42
  All right. So enough stabbing people and killing children. Let's move on to other crazies. Let's talk Democrats.
• 24:51
  So we're going to talk about what's going on with the rift in the Democrat Party.
• 25:00
  I think you've talked about this a few times in your show too.
• 25:02
  So they're just now realizing what the DSA is and what these socialists are all about, especially when we're talking about the candidates.
• 25:16
  And in this case, we are going to talk about Abdul El-Sayed, whatever.
• 25:21
  And he is part of the DSA, or at least that's what they claim.
• 25:26
  so what's crazy is it seems like in the in the in the last uh primaries we had um
• 25:34
  francesca hong lost and everybody was behind her and thinking that you know she was a she was a as
• 25:40
  as much of a dsa can as you can get because she claimed to be for one and everybody backed her
• 25:45
  but that she ended up losing to another democrat in that primary to get i mean um to get on the
• 25:51
  midterms in the general election for November, which is good.
• 25:55
  And it seems like the Democrats are starting to come around and realizing where their vote needs to be to be able to combat this The DSA has been kind of a big Trojan horse issue for the Democrat Party
• 26:08
  And I don't think enough people are talking about it, but it seems like every time, I don't know what it is, he just needs to come over to the Republican Party.
• 26:15
  John Fetterman always seems to be the voice of reason for some reason.
• 26:18
  Yeah.
• 26:18
  Yeah. And so when it comes to Abdul El-Sayed, I don't know where you stand with him or what your opinions are of him.
• 26:27
  But he's out there with Hassan Piker, who is another agitator, another person who literally hates America, has literally said that he wants to wipe his ass with the American flag, that we all deserved 9-11.
• 26:41
  And I realize there are people that were born after and didn't go through it. I mean, I know where I was when it happened.
• 26:47
  and it was a literal terrorist attack on US soil.
• 26:52
  And so with this being said,
• 26:54
  first off, let me get your opinion
• 26:55
  on what you think is going on
• 26:56
  with the adoption of the DSA in the Democrat Party
• 27:00
  because now we have AOC claiming to be part of the DSA.
• 27:03
  Bernie was always a socialist
• 27:04
  and I never understood why he was even platformed at all
• 27:07
  by the Democrat Party.
• 27:09
  But what's your opinion on what's going on
• 27:11
  with Al-Sayed right now,
• 27:13
  Hassan Piker's involvement
• 27:14
  and where this is going to go, you think, with the Democrats versus the DSA?
• 27:20
  I think the Democrats need to wake up.
• 27:26
  The DSA is taking over the Democrat Party,
• 27:28
  and they don't seem to understand that they don't want the DSA under their tent.
• 27:34
  And Abdul El-Syattica, whatever, I think he doesn't have good intentions.
• 27:46
  I don't know if you heard about that animal shelter that he was running and 4,000 animals got put down.
• 27:53
  No, I didn't.
• 27:53
  They were diseased. Dogs that were supposed to be there for quarantine were euthanized on accident.
• 28:00
  And I mean, if you can't run an animal shelter or whatever he was doing with that animal shelter,
• 28:08
  what makes you think that you can go for a higher position?
• 28:13
  His obsession with JD Vance and Usha Vance and their family is really creepy.
• 28:19
  And then I saw this morning a video of someone giving her support for him,
• 28:24
  and he's standing right behind her, almost touching her.
• 28:29
  I saw that video.
• 28:31
  Where it was almost like he was intimidating.
• 28:33
  Was he flipping the pages?
• 28:34
  Are you talking about that one?
• 28:35
  I think so.
• 28:36
  Where she was giving a speech and he was flipping the pages for her and kind of...
• 28:39
  Yes.
• 28:40
  Yeah.
• 28:40
  That seemed wrong.
• 28:42
  It was, you know, like I saw a meme where somebody was like showing him holding a knife behind a packet.
• 28:47
  Something's not right there.
• 28:50
  Yeah, that one was a little strange for sure.
• 28:51
  That did not...
• 28:53
  She did look like she was being coerced or at least coached.
• 28:56
  Right.
• 28:56
  Yeah.
• 28:57
  Right.
• 28:57
  Right. So this sounds crazy, and I know that this is something that conservatives get made fun of,
• 29:07
  but there is a big move for communism or socialism to come back to the United States.
• 29:15
  And it is slowly happening with the immigration, with electing people into office that weren't born here.
• 29:25
  unfortunately i think it's going to get worse before it gets better but i i i was just kind
• 29:34
  of hoping that the democrats would wake up and be like oh hey um we're gonna be unseated which
• 29:39
  they already have several already have been unseated by members of the dsa yeah they have
• 29:46
  and and i mean unseated to the degree that they're not going to get a chance in the general election
• 29:51
  It's like, well, your candidate who's representing your party is a DSA member.
• 29:56
  That's the option.
• 29:57
  So it's like in those situations, what are they going to do?
• 30:00
  Are the Democrats going to still vote Democrat just because that's what they do?
• 30:03
  Or are they going to vote for the conservative or Republican representative because they're not a socialist?
• 30:08
  That's what's going to be interesting.
• 30:10
  And yeah, maybe we need to bring back McCarthyism, I guess.
• 30:13
  I don't know.
• 30:14
  Let's do that.
• 30:15
  Yeah.
• 30:16
  And the other thing about Abdul Saeed, which is interesting, is his support from the Muslim Brotherhood, the loose ties, I guess, we'll call them loose, but the ties his father has had, his wife, and her position on things.
• 30:32
  And it's like, it's not that we want to hate Islam, everyone.
• 30:37
  I mean, there are examples around the world where Muslims are like Indonesia.
• 30:41
  I always bring that up because they have the largest population of Muslims and they're fine.
• 30:47
  And their government even went and basically stopped three terrorist organizations from trying to root themselves in Indonesia.
• 30:53
  They said, we're not having it.
• 30:54
  So I'm not trying to say it's inherently bad.
• 30:57
  It's just there's a certain brand that's being practiced that is brought over from the Middle East and in the Middle East that is detrimental to the rest of the world.
• 31:04
  It's antithetical to the Western culture.
• 31:07
  And Al-Sayed, unfortunately, he's part of that belief as much as he tries to hide it.
• 31:13
  I've had old clips.
• 31:13
  I don't have them right now, but I have old clips of him speaking at CARE events, the Council of American Islamic Relations.
• 31:21
  And there's other events where he was being funded and speaking where he brings these things up about how they have to advance Islam in America and how they are going to turn America into one that is more agreeable to Islam and Muslims in general.
• 31:39
  He did support Sharia law in the past.
• 31:42
  He hasn't said so recently for obviously reasons, but he has said it.
• 31:46
  So I think the Democrats are finally coming around.
• 31:49
  I don't know if it's too little too late.
• 31:51
  But with that being said, let's go to the voice of reason as we brought up.
• 31:55
  Let's go to John Fetterman.
• 31:57
  And this was him on Fox responding to what's going on with Al-Sayed and Hassan Piker.
• 32:04
  And very interesting because he offers money.
• 32:06
  He offers money to them to campaign together because he knows that if this happens, they're toast.
• 32:12
  Check this out.
• 32:13
  Your experience, do you think that would be true?
• 32:16
  Yeah, absolutely.
• 32:17
  He's a socialist, but he also absolutely loves Sharia law.
• 32:21
  I mean, he said that in an interview at the New York Times a few years back.
• 32:25
  Yeah, absolutely.
• 32:26
  Sharia law.
• 32:27
  Now he actually has support for Hamas and Iran as well, too.
• 32:32
  And a lot of the other things that have come out over from his past conversations and other things that he said on social line to fund the police and all those things.
• 32:42
  Of course, that comes go with it.
• 32:44
  and how he has been campaigning strong with Hassan Piker.
• 32:50
  You know, of course, we all know the guy that said America deserved 9-11
• 32:53
  and that absolutely despises Israel and Jews and that.
• 32:58
  And I'm encouraging El-Sayed, you know, remind everybody in Michigan who you are
• 33:03
  and the kind of people that you stand with.
• 33:05
  And I'm offering $50,000 for you to do a rally with Hassan Piker on 9-11, the anniversary.
• 33:12
  And you could all explain to people why America would deserve that 25 years ago or or do a rally.
• 33:19
  That's another fifty thousand dollars. If you do a rally with your sister, you know, that she celebrates publicly after the massacre of 10-7 for that, too.
• 33:30
  These are the people that he aligns with. That's the kinds of folks that helped him win the primary now.
• 33:37
  isn't he a democrat that makes sense yeah right which is sad that he um there's so much talk about
• 33:48
  him switching over to the republican party it's like he he's just the one democrat that
• 33:54
  a lot of democrats were you know or still are yes yeah no you're right i mean i was a democrat
• 34:04
  before. That's the Democrat party I remember.
• 34:08
  That's
• 34:08
  all he is is an old school
• 34:10
  actual Democrat. He's not
• 34:11
  like the guy is not conservative
• 34:14
  to the point where he agrees with everything
• 34:16
  that the Republican party stands for. He's not
• 34:18
  going to. He's just the voice of reason.
• 34:21
  But it was
• 34:22
  interesting to hear him say that because he's
• 34:24
  doing what many of them are ignoring
• 34:26
  and he's choosing to do what should
• 34:28
  be done. He's going out and challenging these
• 34:30
  people, putting them on the spot.
• 34:32
  and I honestly hope they take them up on it.
• 34:35
  Hey, here's your 50K.
• 34:36
  Go tell America why we deserve 9-11.
• 34:38
  Go ahead and get up there.
• 34:39
  See what happens to your campaign.
• 34:42
  See what happens to Hassan Piker and everybody.
• 34:45
  It's one thing to be a streamer on Twitch
• 34:47
  and talk shit to a small group of people who support you.
• 34:51
  And I say small, and here's the context.
• 34:54
  Okay, sure, he's bigger than me.
• 34:56
  Great.
• 34:56
  It doesn't matter.
• 34:57
  But if you look at the amount of people that follow him
• 34:58
  compared to the 350 million people in America.
• 35:02
  And if we take away 50 million because of kids, whatever,
• 35:06
  but let's just say 300, let's say 280 million.
• 35:08
  He does not have 280 million followers.
• 35:10
  He's a drop in the bucket when it comes down to it
• 35:12
  in terms of his influence.
• 35:14
  So I say, give him the 50K, put him on live TV,
• 35:18
  broadcast it everywhere and tell America
• 35:20
  how you really feel, Hassan.
• 35:22
  And have Al-Sahad right there, right there with him.
• 35:25
  and see how quickly America probably,
• 35:28
  not probably, I think they would wake up
• 35:29
  and turn on real quick.
• 35:31
  Because at that point, there's no bots on live TV.
• 35:35
  Right.
• 35:35
  There's no instant comments.
• 35:36
  You got to hear it out
• 35:37
  and you got to see them for who they are.
• 35:40
  I think it's an interesting play by Fetterman.
• 35:43
  Yeah.
• 35:43
  Yeah, it is.
• 35:45
  You know, I always wonder like how,
• 35:51
  are they getting an audience
• 35:52
  because they're being outrageous?
• 35:55
  Didn't he pull a stunt with mocking Charlie Kirk recently?
• 35:59
  Yeah, he did.
• 36:01
  Yeah, he did.
• 36:03
  I have that if you want to hear it or see it.
• 36:05
  But yeah, he did.
• 36:07
  He did mock him.
• 36:08
  The death of Charlie Kirk.
• 36:10
  He mocked that song, We Are Charlie Kirk.
• 36:12
  Yes.
• 36:12
  One of it in a theater.
• 36:15
  Yeah.
• 36:15
  It's the same.
• 36:16
  I mean, yeah.
• 36:17
  Let me go ahead and try to pull that real quick.
• 36:20
  I think I have it.
• 36:23
  It's all right.
• 36:24
  go ahead and carry the show here, Sam.
• 36:26
  Yeah. Well,
• 36:28
  I guess
• 36:30
  I was just
• 36:32
  thinking while you're talking about the group that
• 36:34
  he's reaching,
• 36:35
  and those are all people thinking one
• 36:38
  way. And
• 36:39
  while you were talking about him, I was thinking about
• 36:42
  the Charlie Kirk stunt. But I was also thinking about
• 36:44
  the types of people
• 36:46
  Charlie Kirk reached.
• 36:48
  And he reached people with a
• 36:50
  variety of beliefs.
• 36:53
  Whereas Hassan's just
• 36:54
  reaching the scum of the earth, basically, is his audience. I mean, anyone watching him has...
• 37:01
  Also, after shocking his dog during one of his live streams...
• 37:06
  Yeah, so him and Sciatica have that in common. They apparently hate dogs. But
• 37:10
  the fact that people still watch him after that... Also, I'm going to go on a tangent a little bit,
• 37:18
  But I used to vote Democrat as well.
• 37:21
  And animal welfare is a huge issue for me.
• 37:25
  And the liberals, they're always trying to say, they're the ones for animal rights.
• 37:30
  They're the ones with hearts.
• 37:31
  Yet we're seeing that's kind of the opposite with people on the left now.
• 37:37
  We've had a lot more legislation on the right for animal rights and animal welfare.
• 37:41
  And abusing animals is wrong unless it's one of our guys doing it.
• 37:47
  or abusing women is wrong,
• 37:50
  unless you're a member of the DSA
• 37:53
  or a Muslim that we're voting for
• 37:55
  that's requiring everyone to wear hijab.
• 37:57
  Don't say Muslim.
• 37:58
  Don't ever say that.
• 37:59
  Yeah.
• 38:00
  You can't say that.
• 38:01
  I want to know a different...
• 38:03
  We almost need a different term
• 38:05
  for the different types of Muslims.
• 38:08
  Yeah, you know what?
• 38:09
  You're right,
• 38:09
  because it's like throwing a blanket statement on...
• 38:13
  And I'm not going to say this
• 38:15
  because it's not true.
• 38:16
  They are not a race.
• 38:18
  I could say a group of people because we can call Catholics a group of people, right?
• 38:22
  If you're Catholic, then whatever.
• 38:24
  But here's the problem.
• 38:26
  There are two different types of Muslims, for sure.
• 38:32
  And there's the Shia and the Sunni.
• 38:35
  And so they have slightly different beliefs.
• 38:37
  And one of them has jihad within their beliefs, for example.
• 38:40
  Okay.
• 38:40
  Which is a real thing.
• 38:42
  Which is those are the people that want to take over the earth.
• 38:44
  Anything that is not in alignment with their religion.
• 38:48
  And if you don respect and worship Allah then you must die or be converted or become a slave or pay a tax whatever it is they choose to do with you And so the definition of a Muslim and I going to say this because I think people need to hear it more often
• 39:06
  It literally defined as a person
• 39:08
  who is a practitioner or worshiper of Islam,
• 39:11
  the religion, period.
• 39:13
  I could be a Muslim.
• 39:14
  You could be a white, brown, Chinese.
• 39:16
  It doesn't matter.
• 39:17
  It's not a race of people.
• 39:18
  So when they try to call you racist
• 39:19
  for calling out a Muslim,
• 39:21
  no, you're not.
• 39:21
  It's like if I called out Catholics
• 39:22
  or if I called Satanists out or whoever.
• 39:26
  It's just that particular group.
• 39:27
  But the problem we have is, like you said, we're not able to necessarily separate Muslims from other Muslims, for example.
• 39:34
  So we do have to define that definitely a lot better, just so that we're not offending everybody and throwing a blanket statement on all Muslims.
• 39:44
  But since the 7th century and the conquests and whatnot, you got to prove me wrong also.
• 39:49
  So there you go.
• 39:49
  you know.
• 39:52
  So here's the
• 39:53
  I'm going to play two clips.
• 39:55
  We're talking about Hassan Piker. Okay.
• 39:57
  This one is him talking about how he wants to
• 39:59
  kill Charlie Kirk. This was
• 40:00
  before. This was, it looks like
• 40:02
  2018. So check
• 40:05
  this out right here.
• 40:07
  So here's this clip. Let me make sure the audio
• 40:09
  is on so you can hear it.
• 40:11
  Come on, audio. There we are.
• 40:13
  All right. What about
• 40:15
  Democratic mayors? It's like, what the
• 40:17
  are you talking about, dude?
• 40:19
  We're talking about socialized medicine and you can turn around and you can ask a question about murderous cities and their Democratic mayors.
• 40:29
  I will fuck.
• 40:30
  I want to kill him, dude.
• 40:31
  I want to.
• 40:33
  In a video game setting.
• 40:38
  I want to.
• 40:39
  You said I tried to walk that back real quick.
• 40:42
  Yeah.
• 40:42
  I want to kill him in a video game setting.
• 40:45
  He's such a spaz.
• 40:46
  How could you listen to that screaming?
• 40:49
  All the time.
• 40:49
  He says, I want to kill him.
• 40:50
  And then his guy is like, wait, wait, wait, wait.
• 40:52
  In a video game, right?
• 40:53
  Right.
• 40:54
  You don't really mean you want to kill him, right?
• 40:58
  But he says outrageous stuff like that all the time and never gets in trouble for whatever reason.
• 41:02
  Well, yeah.
• 41:03
  And here's the other one.
• 41:04
  So this is the one you were talking about.
• 41:05
  And then fast forward to 2026.
• 41:07
  And this is him mocking Charlie Kirk.
• 41:09
  His death.
• 41:09
  I'm afraid to die.
• 41:15
  I am Charlie Kirk.
• 41:19
  We carry the flame, we'll fight for the gospel, we'll honor his name.
• 41:31
  We hope for Charlie Carter, his courage are all.
• 41:38
  Together unbroken, we'll make heaven known.
• 41:49
  Look at all those fatties.
• 41:56
  Crying! Crying! Crying! Crying!
• 42:02
  Crying! Crying!
• 42:07
  Crying! Crying!
• 42:12
  Crying!
• 42:14
  Anyway, done with that bullshit.
• 42:20
  And so that was him apparently at a theater.
• 42:24
  I guess people pay to see him.
• 42:26
  I don't know why the hell you would support that.
• 42:27
  That was horrible.
• 42:28
  But he was obviously mocking Charlie Kirk.
• 42:31
  I mean, there's no bones about it.
• 42:33
  In a theater that apparently...
• 42:35
  So here's the thing.
• 42:36
  One of the biggest live streamers in the world
• 42:37
  and couldn't sell out a theater.
• 42:38
  That looked like maybe it was a 1,500-seat, 1,200-seat theater.
• 42:40
  If there weren't so many fat backs in the audience, it would be much more empty.
• 42:47
  Are you judging right now?
• 42:48
  I am judging.
• 42:50
  Disgusting on the inside and on the outside.
• 42:52
  A lot of his fans, apparently.
• 42:54
  Right.
• 42:54
  So this is the guy.
• 42:57
  Hassan Piker is the guy that Al-Sayed has his wagon to on his campaign trail.
• 43:05
  and this is now
• 43:07
  they're in a situation where
• 43:09
  Abdul El-Sahad's trying
• 43:11
  to walk this back, trying to act like
• 43:13
  well I didn't invite him on my campaign trail
• 43:15
  like he's trying to separate himself
• 43:17
  and so I think they
• 43:19
  realize like by doing
• 43:22
  this it's going to hurt
• 43:23
  their ability to infiltrate the
• 43:25
  Democrat party and I think things like
• 43:27
  this, these stunts are starting to wake up by the Democrats
• 43:30
  that's why you have now Fetterman going out
• 43:31
  hey I'll give you the 50k, go ahead and tour with that idiot
• 43:33
  Go ahead. Get out there. You and him on the same stage. Tell America how you hate them. Go ahead and tell America how they have to basically be under the thumb sharia law. Tell America why it is that they deserve 9-11. Because that is everything that Hassan Piker has said. He has said that he wants to see the capitalist pigs' blood run on the streets. Paraphrasing. It wasn't exact words, but he did say that.
• 43:56
  right he wanted to see their blood run on the streets period this is hassan piker why he's in
• 44:04
  the u.s able to do this because there's a difference between free speech and incitement
• 44:07
  of violence and trying to you know uh rally a crowd to overthrow your government and you know
• 44:12
  sure in the constitution we can't overthrow a tyrannical government but we're not a we don't
• 44:16
  have a tyrannical government it hasn't we're not there yet you know when we get that point believe
• 44:20
  me everybody will be like nope we're doing this and so this guy's just nothing but an instigator
• 44:26
  That's all he is.
• 44:27
  He's just an instigator.
• 44:29
  So I think the Democrat Party has a problem.
• 44:31
  I don't like Hassan Piker.
• 44:32
  And I don't understand.
• 44:34
  So his uncle is Cenk Uygur.
• 44:37
  And he's been...
• 44:38
  Yeah, that's his uncle.
• 44:40
  And so Cenk has been doing nothing
• 44:42
  but in interviews, in online,
• 44:44
  because I see his posts come in my feed
• 44:46
  on X, doing nothing but defending Hassan Piker.
• 44:49
  Oh, you're taking him out of context.
• 44:50
  Oh, he didn't really say it and mean it that way.
• 44:52
  so far, I don't think we've taken anything out of context. We're reacting in real time to record
• 44:58
  clips of him doing whatever it is he's doing. And I could play more of his bullshit, but
• 45:02
  I think I respect the intelligence of our audience a little more than that.
• 45:07
  I don't want to piss everyone off too bad.
• 45:10
  Yeah. Again, he says things that are just absolutely horrible that if I were to say,
• 45:18
  my video would get removed.
• 45:21
  Or I can say,
• 45:23
  I think Fauci should go to prison for what he did.
• 45:25
  And my video gets removed from TikTok.
• 45:27
  I guess I don't know if Twitch is less censored
• 45:32
  or what it is.
• 45:34
  I don't know what it is because you're right.
• 45:36
  It's like, I mean, I was banned on TikTok.
• 45:39
  You're the one who told me.
• 45:39
  I was like, what?
• 45:41
  And then I go, I'll say you're back.
• 45:43
  Yeah, not that long ago too.
• 45:45
  but even when I got my account back
• 45:48
  I posted a few videos
• 45:50
  that they wouldn't let go through
• 45:52
  and one of them
• 45:54
  was the speech
• 45:56
  of one of the leaders of care
• 45:58
  where Al-Sayed, before the guy
• 46:00
  gave the speech, he gave an endorsement of him
• 46:02
  and
• 46:04
  that was what was in my clip
• 46:06
  and TikTok and YouTube and everybody said
• 46:08
  they pulled it, like oh you can't play it
• 46:10
  why? Because it mentions the words
• 46:12
  Muslim and Islam, even though it wasn't
• 46:14
  me bashing it. It was me pointing out
• 46:16
  this is what they believe. They're telling
• 46:18
  you what they're going to do. And it was a
• 46:20
  crazy clip because they were talking about how they have
• 46:22
  a 50-year plan and their plan
• 46:24
  is to expand to 4,000
• 46:26
  mosques in the US and take
• 46:28
  those donations from the mosques that are getting in
• 46:30
  and then create these funds so they can send people
• 46:32
  to college and university so they can get
• 46:34
  degrees in politics, journalism,
• 46:37
  filmmaking, etc.
• 46:39
  Because then they can get
• 46:40
  their candidates
• 46:41
  into politics, into Congress,
• 46:44
  they could control the narrative and the story with journalism.
• 46:47
  And then they have the means to make the media and the propaganda by those who are their filmmakers.
• 46:52
  Literally said this.
• 46:53
  They, not me.
• 46:54
  And TikTok pulled it.
• 46:56
  YouTube pulled it.
• 46:58
  It was like, it was very interesting.
• 46:59
  It was like, I'm not saying this.
• 47:01
  They are.
• 47:01
  Like, why are you pulling this clip?
• 47:05
  Like, what are you trying to hide?
• 47:06
  So it seems like there's a concerted effort to like, if you even mention Islam or Muslim,
• 47:10
  suddenly it's like, oh, you're on the outs.
• 47:12
  unless I guess you have 300 million followers
• 47:14
  because then they're making money in advertising, I guess.
• 47:16
  Maybe that's the difference.
• 47:17
  Right.
• 47:18
  Yeah.
• 47:18
  I don't get it, Sam.
• 47:20
  Yeah.
• 47:20
  So here's the danger.
• 47:21
  Here's where we're at.
• 47:22
  Obviously, Hassan Piker, he's a communist, not a socialist.
• 47:28
  I think he's a full communist.
• 47:29
  He even wears a Mao Zedong uniform.
• 47:32
  Yeah.
• 47:32
  Which is crazy.
• 47:33
  Most recognizable communist uniform in the world, period.
• 47:36
  And you have Al-Sayed.
• 47:38
  And then you had Fetterman, who's the only one kind of standing up going, we got to stop this shit, right?
• 47:44
  Okay.
• 47:45
  So there was a resolution to condemn socialism.
• 47:49
  Yeah.
• 47:50
  All right.
• 47:51
  So Nancy Mays posted this.
• 47:53
  And apparently, this is the results.
• 47:56
  192 Democrats voted against the resolution.
• 47:58
  resolution. And the excuse of why they voted against the resolution to condemn socialism is
• 48:07
  because it was attached to the SAVE Act. Two resolutions that Democrats should not be opposed
• 48:13
  to, to be quite honest. Not voting against the condemnation of socialism is very interesting
• 48:19
  because it is an ideology that is completely in opposition to what the USA was built on.
• 48:25
  And I can't find anywhere in history.
• 48:27
  I ask everybody, they can't point it out.
• 48:29
  There has not been a purely socialist nation that has ever survived and or has ever benefited the people who fell under that ideology.
• 48:37
  And for the most part, always leads to communism, authoritarianism, and a dictatorship.
• 48:42
  So these are the Democrats.
• 48:44
  They had an opportunity here.
• 48:46
  Okay.
• 48:46
  Regardless of the SAVE Act.
• 48:47
  I'm not understanding why they do not want people to identify who they are to vote in the most important election, which is who is going to represent America as the president on the world stage.
• 48:57
  It makes no damn sense to me.
• 48:59
  Right.
• 48:59
  And they refuse to pass the SAVE Act and they refuse to condemn socialism.
• 49:06
  I think that speaks volumes as to where we're at with this party right now.
• 49:10
  Maybe they've already been infiltrated.
• 49:12
  Maybe they're already lost.
• 49:13
  What are we going to do here?
• 49:15
  Right.
• 49:16
  Yeah.
• 49:16
  Yeah, it seems like Democrats keep shooting themselves in the foot because they have had
• 49:23
  opportunities to turn this around. I think it's been evident for a while now that more and more
• 49:30
  people are starting to reject their far left ideologies, the crazy crap. People are tired of
• 49:41
  the trans stuff. They're tired of the DSA. They're tired of being okay with violence,
• 49:47
  of making exceptions for violence. But they keep digging in further and further.
• 49:56
  So maybe you're right. Maybe it is too late. Maybe they have been compromised.
• 50:02
  I hope not.
• 50:03
  You know?
• 50:05
  Yeah.
• 50:06
  Yeah.
• 50:07
  I mean, I don't really, other than they're not seeing the world accurately.
• 50:15
  Like they're seeing it from their bubble and only inside their bubble.
• 50:18
  I don't have a reason as to why they keep voting against what their constituents want.
• 50:26
  You know, 83% of people are in favor of the SAVE Act.
• 50:30
  Yes.
• 50:30
  and yeah I mean they're just not doing it themselves any favors I don't know what's
• 50:38
  what's the real argument how it doesn't marginalize anybody these same marginalized people
• 50:42
  somehow come up with an ID to go see a doctor get medicare medic you know medical care to
• 50:46
  to drive a vehicle as in a driver's license you need that uh to do anything even even the ones
• 50:52
  who are just wanting to buy alcohol cigarettes whatever you need a damn ID so these same people
• 50:56
  who are marginalized have every opportunity and somehow find a way to find some kind of
• 51:02
  identification so they can do these other things, even opening a bank account so you
• 51:08
  can get direct deposit, et cetera, a job, you name it.
• 51:12
  But somehow when it comes to voting in a federal election, that is somehow racist and marginalized
• 51:18
  people, which is funny because then you have Mondani with his New York grocery store saying,
• 51:22
  oh well we're gonna have to find some kind of a library card id system so that people don't take
• 51:27
  what the fuck how is that wait a minute hold on mr democrat dsa i thought you you're the same guy
• 51:34
  part of the team saying this is not right and marginalizes and is racist at the same time but
• 51:38
  if you say it it's suddenly not racist and doesn't marginalize anybody right i don't get it yeah you
• 51:46
  And I was looking into this because I had a guest talk about how it,
• 51:52
  they're like, well, something to passport, blah, blah,
• 51:56
  blah, save act will make it harder to change your life.
• 52:01
  name on your passport or anything like that, it's not any harder. It might be one extra step.
• 52:08
  If you're already registered to vote, you don't have to show your passport to register to vote.
• 52:15
  It's actually very easy to register to vote. For married women, when I registered or whatever,
• 52:23
  got my marriage license, I filled out the paperwork and they changed my name for me.
• 52:28
  It was so easy. And I mean, I had to fill out or send. Once we got married, signed the paperwork
• 52:35
  with the pastor or whatever, whoever marries you, you've got your witnesses and the person
• 52:43
  that did the ceremony, you put that in the mail or sometimes the pastor will put that in the mail
• 52:48
  for you to the social security administration. And there you go. Your social security card name
• 52:54
  has changed.
• 52:55
  My grandma, she-
• 52:57
  Or you can just go down the county, no?
• 52:58
  Like right to the county office.
• 53:00
  Yeah, just to the county office.
• 53:02
  So my grandma, she didn't want to get her driver's license again because she's 86.
• 53:06
  But she needed an ID to open up a new bank account when we moved her across the street
• 53:10
  from me.
• 53:11
  And so we took her to the courthouse.
• 53:14
  And in 10 minutes, she had a photo ID.
• 53:17
  Not a driver's license, but you don't have to have a driver's license.
• 53:20
  You just have to have a photo ID.
• 53:22
  And it's free.
• 53:23
  Yeah.
• 53:24
  So it's not as hard as everybody's making it.
• 53:27
  The only excuse is fraud.
• 53:30
  Don't say that.
• 53:31
  What other?
• 53:32
  The bestest ever elections in the world.
• 53:35
  Never, never any case of fraud, ever.
• 53:38
  I mean, there's no other reason
• 53:40
  unless you want people who shouldn't be voting to vote.
• 53:44
  So this is interesting because I have a guest coming on in a couple weeks.
• 53:50
  she is actually
• 53:52
  in charge. Let me read this real
• 53:55
  quick. And the only reason I bring this up because
• 53:56
  I think it's very relevant.
• 53:59
  Donna Linder, so
• 54:01
  she is the county clerk recorder for Stanislaus
• 54:03
  County in California.
• 54:05
  And I met her at a Republican
• 54:07
  not a convention, but it was like one of those meetings.
• 54:09
  And she was there speaking.
• 54:11
  And she showed
• 54:13
  me everything that they go through to verify
• 54:15
  IDs, count ballots,
• 54:17
  everything. And she herself is
• 54:19
  conservative but when she does her job she has you know she's neutral so it's gonna be an
• 54:23
  interesting conversation because on the one hand i i wanted to challenge her on some things but i
• 54:28
  don't want to question her work because when it comes to maybe sandsloss county she's she's on her
• 54:34
  shit right she's like yeah she shows me everything and she's like if you want to take a tour just let
• 54:38
  me know you can come take a tour i'll show you everything like she's very open but this is this
• 54:44
  This is an example of where there might be some cases where it's very much like the standards are very much held up and they're strict and they do their job.
• 54:54
  But I still had questions because, you know, well, if all of this is true, if all of this is true and we're doing everything we got to do to protect the votes, why do we still have issues?
• 55:10
  and why do we still find glitches
• 55:14
  and why do we still have evidence of fraud
• 55:17
  that later becomes not evidence,
• 55:19
  but at the time it is,
• 55:20
  and then the courts throw it out.
• 55:22
  They just dismiss it.
• 55:24
  I have a lot of questions,
• 55:25
  so it's going to be interesting.
• 55:27
  And I brought that up only because
• 55:29
  what you're saying is true.
• 55:31
  I believe there's some fraud manipulation,
• 55:33
  but what she showed me was kind of otherwise.
• 55:35
  So I'm scratching my head going,
• 55:36
  something still isn't adding up here.
• 55:38
  So I'm not accusing Donna, by the way.
• 55:40
  I don't think she's doing anything wrong.
• 55:42
  It's just, it's very interesting to see that contrast of, well, this evidence that she showed me is everything is legit.
• 55:50
  And then at the same time, it's like, yeah, but you could still go out and you can cure ballots and you can call people to make sure their name is right.
• 55:59
  And then we saw evidence like when you brought up Spencer Pratt of how they were going and paying homeless people to write their name and cast a ballot for the opposition.
• 56:08
  So there's other ways to commit fraud outside of whether or not they're matching your IDs and your signatures.
• 56:15
  It goes beyond that.
• 56:18
  So I'm with you.
• 56:19
  I don't understand the SAVE Act thing.
• 56:21
  I just don't get how the most important election really is something that should be up for debate.
• 56:29
  Why would we not want to verify you as an individual?
• 56:33
  It makes no damn sense.
• 56:35
  Right.
• 56:36
  Because here's the thing.
• 56:37
  in a presidential election, you've seen it many times.
• 56:39
  Once they count everything and they think they're ahead,
• 56:42
  it kind of is done.
• 56:43
  If they find fraud later, I have not seen
• 56:45
  a case where they reverse a decision.
• 56:48
  Right.
• 56:49
  Not yet.
• 56:51
  Right.
• 56:51
  Yeah.
• 56:53
  I'm having 2020 flashbacks.
• 56:56
  Right.
• 56:56
  Well, we can go even back further to
• 56:58
  George Bush and
• 57:00
  who's that
• 57:03
  green nut job?
• 57:07
  Democrat. Al Gore.
• 57:09
  Yes, Al Gore. And in that case,
• 57:11
  he was the one crying fraud.
• 57:13
  He was crying fraud when it came to
• 57:15
  that election in Florida. And I'll
• 57:17
  admit, it seemed like there was something weird
• 57:19
  going on with the voting machines or whatever in Florida
• 57:21
  because that's what it came down to was the votes in Florida.
• 57:23
  The hanging chads? Yeah.
• 57:25
  Okay. Yeah. Gotcha. And so
• 57:27
  there was that. And then the Democrat
• 57:29
  party wants to cry that everything's
• 57:31
  legit, but then why was Hillary saying
• 57:33
  that nothing was legit when she lost? Why
• 57:35
  was she crying fraud?
• 57:37
  Right.
• 57:37
  You know, everybody does it.
• 57:38
  It doesn't matter for Democrat or Republican, by the way.
• 57:40
  Everyone who loses claims it's fraud.
• 57:42
  Very few accept it.
• 57:45
  So everyone's going to cry wolf, but we've seen too many things as in the last election with Joe Biden.
• 57:52
  That curve?
• 57:55
  Yeah.
• 57:56
  That Cobra curve, whatever that is, that Cobra strike curve, that didn't make any sense.
• 58:00
  Yeah, it's not statistically possible.
• 58:03
  Like overnight, this guy had the most votes of any president ever in history.
• 58:08
  Right, right.
• 58:09
  Biden did, really.
• 58:10
  The guy who was a career senator, who was extremely racist, who said racist things.
• 58:15
  This guy?
• 58:17
  Really?
• 58:18
  It made no sense to anybody.
• 58:20
  But we're just supposed to accept it.
• 58:22
  Who knows?
• 58:23
  Also, he was also in fifth place for the Democratic primary.
• 58:31
  He was in fifth place.
• 58:33
  No one was even taking him seriously, really.
• 58:36
  No.
• 58:36
  Until all of a sudden, Bernie's out, Warren's out.
• 58:41
  The other four were ahead.
• 58:42
  And it's like, oh, so we went with the old white guy.
• 58:46
  Got it.
• 58:47
  All right.
• 58:48
  And supposedly, he got all those votes.
• 58:50
  Is he younger than Bernie, though?
• 58:52
  Bernie looks pretty haggard.
• 58:53
  I don't know.
• 58:53
  I don't know how Bernie does it.
• 58:55
  I don't know.
• 58:56
  Either way, we would have been screwed either way.
• 58:57
  We would have had either pure socialism, but then we got Biden.
• 59:01
  And then his family selling secrets whatever Whatever happened to that I don know I don know that just kind of like they just let that go because he was too old I guess to be prosecuted Yeah Anyway and more about the Democrats So check this out
• 59:13
  So trying to keep this moving along here.
• 59:19
  So when we're talking about Al-Sayed and whatever, and the alignment of the DSA and the Islamic socialists,
• 59:25
  because that's what they have called themselves.
• 59:27
  Here's something that happened.
• 59:28
  And I brought this up offline.
• 59:30
  So we're talking about Hamtrak, Michigan, before we started recording.
• 59:33
  They had an all-Muslim city council.
• 59:36
  This is very interesting.
• 59:38
  So the decision, the city council voted unanimously, let's check this out, in 2023 to restrict flags on public property.
• 59:46
  Now, what they're talking about is pride flags.
• 59:49
  Okay.
• 59:49
  So this all Muslim council in Hamtrak, Michigan voted against LGBTQ pride flags to be displayed on government property, public buildings.
• 1:00:01
  All Muslim.
• 1:00:03
  So the ban flags.
• 1:00:04
  The rule prohibits LGBTQ plus pride flags as well as any religious, ethnic, racial, or political flags.
• 1:00:10
  So the ban applies only to government property.
• 1:00:13
  Residents and businesses can still fly pride flags on their private property.
• 1:00:20
  So here's the reasons.
• 1:00:22
  Religious beliefs.
• 1:00:23
  The council members stated that flying the pride flag conflicts with the traditional religious beliefs of the local Muslim community.
• 1:00:32
  I don't know if I need to read that again, but I'm just saying like these are the people that you're hitching your wagon to right now.
• 1:00:38
  You had the opportunity to see what it was like with an all-Muslim council.
• 1:00:42
  And again, I'm not against their decision, by the way.
• 1:00:46
  I don't think there should be pride flags in schools or any of that.
• 1:00:49
  I don't think it should be.
• 1:00:51
  You want to hang it on your property, on your own truck, whatever, fine.
• 1:00:54
  That's your thing.
• 1:00:55
  But not in government facilities or schools, in my opinion.
• 1:00:58
  And so this was an example of where an all-Muslim city council did the opposite of what everybody thought.
• 1:01:05
  So the Democrats trying to be all inclusive, whatever, accepting, and your inclusiveness just eliminated one of the groups that they stand behind the most, which is the LGBTQ plus AI, whatever, which is ridiculous.
• 1:01:19
  And so here's the update.
• 1:01:20
  And then Michigan advance, and this just happened, August 25th, 2026.
• 1:01:24
  So they tried to appeal this, basically, to fight back.
• 1:01:28
  But federal appeals court upholds ham tracks ban on pride flags on city property.
• 1:01:34
  Okay.
• 1:01:34
  Isn't that interesting?
• 1:01:37
  Okay, so a federal appellate court has upheld a decision allowing Hamtrak to ban pride flags on city-owned property.
• 1:01:43
  The ruling issued August 21st by the Sixth Circuit Court Appeals affirmed on September 2025th dismissal by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan of a challenge to Hamtrak's 2023 ban on flying pride and other group flags on city-owned flagpoles.
• 1:01:58
  Court held that even assuming the poll had previously been a forum for private speech, the city is permitted to change the purpose of what that forum and restrict the polls to specific flags making the display government speech.
• 1:02:14
  Now, I'm going to go down here.
• 1:02:17
  It says the resolution to ban the pride flag was made after Hamtrak's residents elected an all-Muslim city council in November of 2021, becoming the first city in the U.S. to do so.
• 1:02:27
  Although the ban the council subsequently passed also prohibited religious, ethnic, racial, and political flags, the target of the effort was the LGBTQ plus pride flag, which many local Muslims said was against their religious beliefs.
• 1:02:42
  Among them was former mayor Amir Ghalib, who campaigned on the issue when he was elected in 2021.
• 1:02:50
  okay i bring this up because it's very interesting to see the the push for the democrat party at this
• 1:02:57
  moment to accept the dsa to accept the is islamic whatever is going on with the muslims and how
• 1:03:04
  they're aligning with them right yeah at the same time you have the free palestine crowd
• 1:03:08
  oh yeah okay islam muslims do not accept lgbtqia plus community they just don't so this whole thing
• 1:03:18
  this whole thing that the Democrats are doing to gain favor just to expand their voter base
• 1:03:24
  is a literal house of cards. It's like at any point, this thing's just going to fall over.
• 1:03:28
  And it's going to be very interesting and could be very dangerous to see
• 1:03:32
  who's going to be coming out standing on top of this whole thing.
• 1:03:35
  Like this big tent ain't working. I think it's on fire right now and they don't know how to put it out.
• 1:03:40
  Yeah. Yeah. I was just thinking about the gays for Palestine, all these protests and stuff.
• 1:03:47
  And it's like, aren't they the ones that would throw you off a roof if they found out you were gay?
• 1:03:53
  Absolutely.
• 1:03:54
  Yeah, again, these people voting, it's the Democrats that vote for the Muslim community.
• 1:04:04
  And again, I was in class with a couple Muslim girls and they were very nice, but they did keep to themselves.
• 1:04:12
  We kind of talked about homework a little bit and that was very much it.
• 1:04:16
  I kind of felt like they were afraid to talk to anybody else on campus,
• 1:04:21
  which considering all the gay pride stuff all over campus,
• 1:04:25
  I could see why they didn't engage very much.
• 1:04:27
  But yeah, I just don't understand why they don't realize
• 1:04:33
  that they're voting for people that don't believe
• 1:04:36
  they should have the right to be gay or for women to have power,
• 1:04:43
  stuff like that.
• 1:04:43
  Yeah, it is interesting to back that all for the sake of trying to get enough of a voter base to overthrow the Republicans.
• 1:04:52
  That's the only reason they're doing it.
• 1:04:54
  That's the only reason they're doing it.
• 1:04:56
  It really does not make any sense.
• 1:04:59
  All right, let's lighten it up.
• 1:05:00
  Let's talk about more fun stuff.
• 1:05:01
  Let's talk about the Lake of America.
• 1:05:03
  Yeah.
• 1:05:04
  What do you think about that?
• 1:05:05
  The Lake of America.
• 1:05:06
  Trump, the ultimate troll, is going ahead and throwing jabs at the Canadians.
• 1:05:11
  They just can't take it.
• 1:05:12
  which is funny as hell.
• 1:05:14
  And so he has,
• 1:05:17
  I think he's already labeled,
• 1:05:18
  dubbed Lake Ontario,
• 1:05:19
  Lake of America.
• 1:05:20
  And what's interesting,
• 1:05:21
  I just saw a news report
• 1:05:23
  where Apple already changed on the maps
• 1:05:25
  where Lake Ontario is now Lake America.
• 1:05:28
  Yeah.
• 1:05:29
  Oh my Lord.
• 1:05:31
  Yeah.
• 1:05:32
  I saw that.
• 1:05:33
  I know you got it.
• 1:05:34
  Okay.
• 1:05:34
  Yeah.
• 1:05:35
  So I've heard some people complain that it is,
• 1:05:39
  you know,
• 1:05:39
  like,
• 1:05:40
  oh,
• 1:05:40
  we have all this other stuff to work on.
• 1:05:42
  this is really what he spends his time on, he probably spent five minutes on it.
• 1:05:47
  I mean, and the only reason it is so funny is because Canada gets so offended by it.
• 1:05:55
  I did see that the US Geological Survey has already done their updates. I honestly haven't
• 1:06:00
  checked my maps yet to see if it's updated. Also, I did hear that more of the volume of the lake
• 1:06:07
  is on the US side.
• 1:06:09
  I don care if Canada keeps calling it Lake Ontario but you know Who cares really right Right But the people outraged by this where were they when we were renaming mountains and army
• 1:06:24
  bases and everything else under the sun?
• 1:06:28
  They don't seem to, was it Bill Maher made that joke about renaming and he said something
• 1:06:35
  along the lines of just ask my they, them, Latinx or Latinx, whatever, friend.
• 1:06:43
  So we're expected to respect the new names of everything else, but it's not...
• 1:06:54
  Check this out, Sam.
• 1:06:55
  Here's Apple.
• 1:06:56
  I'm going to try to put that on the camera.
• 1:06:58
  Here's the Apple map.
• 1:06:59
  I don't know if you can see that.
• 1:07:01
  I see it.
• 1:07:02
  It says like America, right?
• 1:07:05
  Yep.
• 1:07:05
  Right there.
• 1:07:06
  Yeah.
• 1:07:07
  It's already changed.
• 1:07:08
  Lake America.
• 1:07:09
  I love it.
• 1:07:11
  Yeah.
• 1:07:13
  You know, he's the ultimate troll.
• 1:07:14
  He just is.
• 1:07:15
  And, you know, he wouldn't be doing half the stuff he does if it didn't get a reaction.
• 1:07:20
  Oh, of course.
• 1:07:20
  And I told my brothers, like, when we did our show and we brought this up, I was like,
• 1:07:24
  if I was Canada, I wouldn't give a damn.
• 1:07:26
  I'm like, whatever, Donnie, call it whatever you want.
• 1:07:29
  Like, you're your own country, a sovereign country.
• 1:07:31
  You call it Lake Ontario.
• 1:07:32
  Who gives a shit?
• 1:07:33
  Right.
• 1:07:34
  Right.
• 1:07:34
  The fact that they respond is more of a testament to how much he owns these people.
• 1:07:40
  And whether you like Trump or not, you can't deny that.
• 1:07:44
  He really can't.
• 1:07:46
  Yeah.
• 1:07:47
  Yeah.
• 1:07:48
  I mean, again, if they didn't react to him, he wouldn't care as much.
• 1:07:55
  He only trolls when you freak out like that.
• 1:07:59
  So the other part of this, though, were the terrorists.
• 1:08:04
  So I want to get your thought on that, though.
• 1:08:06
  Because I think, honestly, there's times where he's literally using the
• 1:08:10
  terrorists as a weapon.
• 1:08:11
  But then again, if you look at the history of the terrorists between
• 1:08:13
  countries and how the U.S. has been treated, it has been a bit lopsided.
• 1:08:19
  And so regardless of America, which is crazy, how do you feel about the
• 1:08:25
  terrorists and how the U.S. has been treating Canada, our neighbor to the
• 1:08:28
  north. Because it's almost like they've declared many times where they're trying to strengthen
• 1:08:33
  their relationship with China, who's in direct opposition to the United States of America.
• 1:08:38
  So do you have any thoughts on this situation? Yeah. I like the idea of making the tariffs more
• 1:08:45
  fair. However, I think that's one of those things where he did the bull in the China shop thing,
• 1:08:54
  where he went a little too crazy too fast with the, because I know that he had to
• 1:09:01
  lower some of the tariffs on coffee, bananas, and some other things where,
• 1:09:08
  you might need higher tariffs on certain things. You might need to pay a little bit more for
• 1:09:13
  certain products. But I do agree that everyone takes advantage of America.
• 1:09:21
  And apparently we're the assholes when we try to stand up for ourselves now.
• 1:09:26
  So I agree with doing the tariffs.
• 1:09:30
  I agree with increasing tariffs or the reciprocal tariffs.
• 1:09:35
  With different, depending on the circumstances, I suppose.
• 1:09:41
  If we're needing, if we're short on something and we're desperate for it, or whatever.
• 1:09:47
  But using it as a weapon, I don't agree with.
• 1:09:52
  And I do see him doing that.
• 1:09:54
  Anytime someone pisses him off, especially Canada, but I've seen him do it to other countries too.
• 1:09:59
  It's like, all right, we're raising tariffs on this to financially punish them.
• 1:10:05
  It's a weapon for sure.
• 1:10:07
  But it also makes me laugh inside because it's like, two months later, he rescinds it.
• 1:10:12
  All right, guys, we're going to lower back.
• 1:10:14
  And the biggest thing about all of this is, I remember when Trump started tariffing people and trying to make things more even.
• 1:10:22
  Everyone's like, tariffs don't work.
• 1:10:23
  It hurts the US more than it hurts.
• 1:10:25
  Well, if it hurts us so bad, why are the other nations complaining about it?
• 1:10:29
  Yeah.
• 1:10:30
  Why is Canada so concerned?
• 1:10:32
  It doesn't make any sense.
• 1:10:33
  Why is every nation so concerned about the tariffs being imposed if it only hurts us?
• 1:10:38
  Because it doesn't.
• 1:10:39
  It hurts them.
• 1:10:40
  Because they either have to absorb the price or raise it.
• 1:10:42
  And given a market economy and capitalism, market economy, they could price their product out of the competition.
• 1:10:51
  So it is detrimental to them.
• 1:10:53
  It is because now those who rely on their supplies may now start looking for another supplier because like, well, I can't raise the cost of this toy car anymore.
• 1:11:05
  I got to find out where to get it later.
• 1:11:06
  you know at the and we're talking about cars it's like i mean we already see trucks going for 80
• 1:11:11
  grand 70 grand for a freaking pickup truck for what you know it doesn't make any sense at anyway
• 1:11:16
  those are just loose examples maybe not entirely connected but it's still you know uh it's going
• 1:11:22
  to force businesses to find other suppliers if if if the cost of a good that you need to make a
• 1:11:27
  goes up then you're finding another supplier so that's how this hurts china this house hurts
• 1:11:31
  Canada or anybody.
• 1:11:33
  And the armchair economists
• 1:11:35
  over on X and on these
• 1:11:37
  podcasts are saying, well, it's not how
• 1:11:39
  it works. A tariff is a tax on the people.
• 1:11:42
  And I used to import stuff.
• 1:11:44
  It goes both ways. And at some
• 1:11:45
  point, the company could either absorb it or they're going to have
• 1:11:47
  to pass it on. And in each case,
• 1:11:49
  the company is going to have to make a decision as to
• 1:11:51
  can they keep absorbing it or they're going to have to raise a price.
• 1:11:54
  Eventually, they'll have to raise a price. And now
• 1:11:56
  they're in competition with others who might
• 1:11:57
  be a little bit lower in price or at the same
• 1:11:59
  price. And now you got to compete on quality. And when it comes to that, now you're in trouble.
• 1:12:04
  So anyway, that's just my perspective on it. But I agree with you with the bull in China shop thing,
• 1:12:10
  like Trump's a freaking hammer. And it's funny as hell. It's funny and it kind of isn't,
• 1:12:14
  but it still makes me laugh. Yeah. So there is one other thing about the,
• 1:12:19
  with Canada and Mexico, and now this was 2025. It's been a while since I've reviewed this,
• 1:12:25
  so I cannot remember the name of it. But there was a trade agreement between the US, China,
• 1:12:32
  and Mexico that they had that Trump was actually breaking that trade agreement.
• 1:12:38
  And it was on specific food items, I believe dairy products and stuff,
• 1:12:42
  but I think it was different from Mexico. You're right.
• 1:12:46
  So I don't blame Canada and Mexico for being upset with him breaking that agreement.
• 1:12:52
  like that should have been gone.
• 1:12:55
  He should have gone about that a different way.
• 1:12:57
  And I can't remember how that resolved.
• 1:13:00
  Well, I remember NAFTA got relabeled into,
• 1:13:04
  I should know this.
• 1:13:06
  I just talked about it too.
• 1:13:08
  Anyway, Trump was key in renaming it
• 1:13:12
  to something else, probably what it was called.
• 1:13:14
  But basically a new agreement between Mexico and Canada It was a different version of the NAFTA and North America Fair Trade Agreement That what it was And yeah there were different restrictions
• 1:13:27
  and tariffs and everything
• 1:13:28
  that seemed to be more balanced for the US.
• 1:13:32
  And so they reluctantly signed and agreed to that.
• 1:13:36
  But even then, now they're trying to say,
• 1:13:38
  yeah, these tariffs go ahead
• 1:13:39
  and violate the agreement that Trump put together.
• 1:13:42
  you know but i i think he also does it because he doesn't see the other countries aligning either
• 1:13:48
  you know so i don't know who's really violating it but like if they didn't work they wouldn't be
• 1:13:54
  concerned if if the tariffs were not working they would shut their mouths and just just run with it
• 1:13:58
  but no it it is hurting those other countries and there's the danger is this i i really don't care
• 1:14:04
  to be quite honest i don't know why a nation as self-sufficient as we are especially when it comes
• 1:14:08
  to agriculture. Why are we importing salad, lettuce? There's so many things that are important
• 1:14:13
  from other countries. For what? We have a huge ag industry. California alone could probably feed
• 1:14:18
  most of the world just out of California. It's really crazy that we're doing this,
• 1:14:25
  which in turn hurts our domestic product sales and hurts our farmers, etc.
• 1:14:31
  So there's some things where I can care less if I get an avocado from Mexico. I don't care.
• 1:14:36
  I mean, that industry started in California.
• 1:14:39
  Anyway, who gives a shit?
• 1:14:40
  But there's other things where it does make sense for resources, for example, things that we would need.
• 1:14:46
  And I don't mind Trump going through and taking a fine-tooth comb and going like, yeah, let's raise the price on the tariff.
• 1:14:53
  We don't really need it anyway.
• 1:14:54
  And there's other things where it's like, okay, let's come to the table and make sure that we can both benefit from this.
• 1:14:59
  And I don't think we should be obligated to trade with people unless there's something we actually need that we know we can't provide.
• 1:15:06
  and that country needs something from us,
• 1:15:08
  to me, that makes sense.
• 1:15:09
  But again, I don't know.
• 1:15:09
  I'm not an economist,
• 1:15:11
  but it does beg the question.
• 1:15:14
  It's like, well,
• 1:15:14
  why are we not really
• 1:15:15
  self-sufficient economically?
• 1:15:17
  I know that we're in the global markets.
• 1:15:19
  We're in a global economy,
• 1:15:20
  but at the same time,
• 1:15:21
  we have enough internal resources
• 1:15:23
  to take care of most everything we need.
• 1:15:25
  And we shouldn't be farming
• 1:15:26
  or subbing those things out.
• 1:15:28
  And again, opinions.
• 1:15:30
  No, you make a really,
• 1:15:32
  a very good point.
• 1:15:33
  And I think that this needs more attention to some of the things Trump is trying to do.
• 1:15:39
  We rely on other countries way too much for other things.
• 1:15:43
  Canada supplies certain states with electricity.
• 1:15:46
  That's why they were just threatening to cut the electricity.
• 1:15:49
  We get pharmaceuticals from China.
• 1:15:52
  Why?
• 1:15:53
  Why aren't we making them here?
• 1:15:58
  I mean, there's also, why are we getting vehicles from other countries?
• 1:16:03
  I don't know.
• 1:16:03
  Detroit used to be the capital for auto making, correct?
• 1:16:09
  Yeah, absolutely.
• 1:16:10
  At some point, we ruined our own country.
• 1:16:15
  I think what happened with the auto thing, from what I recall, I think the unions just got out of control.
• 1:16:20
  Okay.
• 1:16:21
  More wages, more wages, higher, higher, higher.
• 1:16:23
  We deserve this.
• 1:16:24
  We deserve that.
• 1:16:24
  I think it just got to the point where it was too hard for these companies to manufacture everything domestically and make a profit.
• 1:16:33
  And then, you know, the auto industry itself was always in danger of being bankrupt.
• 1:16:40
  And then they had to.
• 1:16:41
  And then the U.S. had to save some companies.
• 1:16:43
  I say screw them.
• 1:16:44
  Chrysler, Ford, whatever.
• 1:16:45
  Look, I'd hate to see some icons go away.
• 1:16:47
  But if you're mismanaging your business, no one's going to save mine or yours.
• 1:16:51
  Right.
• 1:16:52
  Right.
• 1:16:52
  But I guess the auto industry was considered too big to fail.
• 1:16:57
  And so I think that's what happened and why they started building plants elsewhere.
• 1:17:01
  It's because of labor costs, really.
• 1:17:02
  That's why they're doing it in Mexico.
• 1:17:04
  Could we do it here?
• 1:17:04
  Absolutely.
• 1:17:05
  But now your truck's not going to be $80,000, which is also strange because after the pandemic
• 1:17:10
  and a lot of the outsourcing and rebuilding facilities elsewhere to make the frames and
• 1:17:16
  everything else, the price of everything still went up.
• 1:17:19
  Yeah.
• 1:17:19
  It still went up.
• 1:17:20
  And they're saving money on labor.
• 1:17:22
  So at that point, you're right.
• 1:17:24
  Why not just bring it back and make it all American like it used to be?
• 1:17:27
  Right.
• 1:17:27
  Yeah.
• 1:17:28
  You know?
• 1:17:29
  Greed.
• 1:17:30
  Yeah.
• 1:17:31
  Yeah, that's a big thing here is John Deere.
• 1:17:36
  They keep shipping jobs over to Mexico.
• 1:17:39
  And so thousands of people here in Iowa have been laid off, which is quite a lot for a state like Iowa.
• 1:17:45
  Man, that's crazy.
• 1:17:46
  That is crazy, right?
• 1:17:48
  John Deere, also American icon, made in Mexico.
• 1:17:50
  It used to be one of the best jobs that someone could have here in Iowa.
• 1:17:56
  And it's not that way anymore.
• 1:17:59
  Sam, crazy world.
• 1:18:02
  Yep.
• 1:18:03
  Anything else you want to say before we sign off?
• 1:18:05
  I think we've been going over an hour.
• 1:18:07
  I keep talking if you like, but I think I'm going to save some stuff for when you come back again.
• 1:18:11
  Okay.
• 1:18:12
  Sounds good.
• 1:18:13
  Because this news cycle is too quick.
• 1:18:15
  It's insane.
• 1:18:17
  Like I said, I started the podcast in December 2024 when Biden was still president.
• 1:18:23
  And I didn't realize there was going to be so much news all the time with a different president.
• 1:18:29
  I know.
• 1:18:30
  You're always behind, right?
• 1:18:32
  Once you put an episode out, it's like your episode's already behind the eight balls.
• 1:18:37
  Like, whatever.
• 1:18:38
  Oh, yeah.
• 1:18:38
  I'm always like two days behind.
• 1:18:40
  It's crazy.
• 1:18:41
  Yeah.
• 1:18:41
  Anyways, I appreciate you having me.
• 1:18:43

  And pretty easy to find.
• 1:18:58
  Did you get a website up for the pod or no?
• 1:19:01
  I did not build a website.
• 1:19:03
  If you have any tips on that, I'm not very tech savvy.
• 1:19:08
  I'll point you to a service.
• 1:19:10
  They're pretty cool.
• 1:19:10
  but I will say to everyone that,
• 1:19:14
  yeah,
• 1:19:15
  Sam does a great job.
• 1:19:16
  She has some great interviews.
• 1:19:17
  She does some great commentary.
• 1:19:19
  Give her a listen.
• 1:19:20
  And I like Sam's approach because it's a little more tame than my solo stuff.
• 1:19:25
  I could get unhinged,
• 1:19:26
  but she keeps her composure and tells you like it is.
• 1:19:28
  So she does a very good job.
• 1:19:29
  So they should all support you,
• 1:19:31
  Sam.
