[music] But you have to search the way back in the machine for like, www.askjeeves.com/query/what+is+ And you want to make sure that you're getting, you know, ask Jeeves era, ask Jeeves and not ask.com Because once Jeeves was taken out of the equation, it was just plummeted downhill. Yeah. All right, you ready? Yeah. Uh, hit three, three, two, one, one. Yo, thank you for tuning in to the natural habitat podcast. My name is Mikey Booyah. Oh, my name is Ty. We are joined by Free Candy Up in Canada, the one and only Canadian podcast co-host, as well as Compute Tour, the one and only artificially intelligent podcast co-host. Um, now the crew is a little light today. You might notice that Satchmo is, I don't want to say no longer with us. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, he's being, he's dealing with some hot water, right? Yeah. And like, I don't have the full story. This has happened before I got here, but there's, there's something going on with Satchmo. We'll probably get into it. So there was a, there was a photo that was released in the wake of this Trump assassination attempt, uh, of the shooter on the roof. Now a lot of people saw the shooter on the roof. It was, he's dead, you know, just laying there dead. They shot him. He's dead, but this image was from before the death of the shooter and before the shooting of the ear, there was a photo of this shooter, which I have here on the screen now and I'll go ahead and put on the screen for you. Yeah. I see the TMZ watermark and all that. Now this image to the, you know, to the untrained eye, it appears to just be like a man laying on a rooftop, you know, presumably scouting, scouting for his shot, but if you blow it up and digitally enhance this, I mean, I didn't believe this either. Once now, this shows what looks to be a hand puppet, uh, you know, about six, seven inches tall hole in the bottom, yeah, uh, horn on his head, he does have a floppy horn on his head, but now the only thing that I will say is that Satchro has this, like, mane behind them, like almost like a horses and there's no mane on this, I also, I mean, it could just be the camera. Um, but I also feel like in that image, the colors don't necessarily match Satchmo, at least how I remember Satchmo. So I'm not 100% convinced, but I'm convinced enough to where I see the need to distance ourselves from Satchmo for the time being like this looks like a hand puppet that is using a human being as a puppet in a way to carry out some sort of nefarious deeds. An assassination attempt like lead now, I mean, I'm not going to assume the worst about Satchmo, but you know, he definitely has some explaining to do not to us, but you know, to the American public and the service and service, homeland security, Donald Trump is, is, is, yeah. So Satchmo is not here today, but, um, we decided to bring back a host from the past. We have a, you know, a big bag of hosts. Is it, is it William waffles is William waffles is not here. Oh, is Matt here? No, Matt's not here. Matt's not here. No, but who we do have is, um, I guess. So I ran a poll on X formerly known as Twitter to ask, you know, what's your, what host do you miss the most? Who's the hostess? What the most this besides who's the hostess? Who's the hostess? Who's the hostess who is most missed? And everybody, you know, all together in unison said, oh, no, hey, no, we can't do that. Yeah. Yeah. It's warm blood. So yeah, I know we don't have any other, hold on, Jerry positive. We don't have any other choice. I have, I'm making an announcement here. I can't have him flying up at the end of the city. He's going to be fine. He's going to be fine. We totally gave him the rundown and everything on what he can't do, what he can't say. Jesus Christ. And he's only, this is going to be, we're only going to let him talk once. Okay. This is going to kill me before I'm even, even off to the races. Uh, what's he? Thanks faggots. It's a dude to be back. I look forward to providing some comic relief to this. He knew this was going to happen. He knew this was today's topic. That's it. I told him he had one. He could do it once. I didn't know he was going to use it right out of the gate. You told him that he could, he could make a slur. Well, no, well, I guess in a way I did. I said that, you know, so look, you can, you can do something horrible. I'm washing my hands of this. I had no part of this. I'm washing my hands. You see me wash. I'm going to pour some water in my hands. Okay. Well, look, smart plug, we'll hear some more from you later. I had nothing to do with this. I'm sorry. We're just going to go ahead and move on with the show and move past the host introductions. We just, you know, there's a lot of podcasts that are just hosted by Clean Hands, baby. Clean Hands. Clean Hands. He was, he actually really wasn't. No part of this. Uh, there's a lot of podcasts that are just hosted by two guys, you know. We're trying to stand out of the North. We have compies where we have, I mean, how many podcasts have a Canadian guy that never appears? Yeah. Yeah. That separates us from the pack. We're right there. We don't need to overdo it. But twice separated, third separated, this is all good. You know, when you associate yourself with people that say things like smart plug does, you're limiting your, what you can do potentially in the future on a larger platform. I'll just say that. Okay. And you're kind of, you know, you're kind of stabbing me in the back like you have a knife in your hand. Sure. You're right. Yeah. I should have thought about you and your future plans and, you know, not give your lives, your career with a new part close. I didn't have any problem this though, but, um, we actually are here to talk about some exciting news. Ty has an announcement that I'm not aware of. And also speaking of announcements just today, uh, we got the announcement that Joach Biden, who president of the United States, Joach Biden is not running for reelection. He's hanging up his, his, uh, his sash and his bags and his shoes. Yeah. He's hanging up his jersey. Don't know that the jersey's going to be like retired or anything because he wasn't a good president. Let's be real. I think it's going to be not an estate. It wasn't a Hall of Fame president, but no, but he's announced that he's not seeking reelection now because I think the writing was on the wall for the man, um, he had no chance of beating Trump. So, uh, today was like a really hectic day where everyone was like, George, but George Biden needs to jump out of the race. He needs to get out of here. And then he said, I'm never going to leave. I'm never going to. Yeah. And then, and then like an hour later, the announcement, he said, you know what? I got COVID and I'm going to leave the race now. Yeah. Yeah. And that's kind of, you know, left, uh, the political climate in disarray as, as the Democratic Party tries to formulate a plan B, which you'd think they already have. They would have one, you know, in place, ready to go. Smooth transition in the state that Biden's been in during this, how is this not been? How is this not been previously considered? Yeah. But the Democratic Party is just a complete hot mess. And there's no, you know, organization. There's no, there's, there's nothing, you know, that the Republican party, they're, they're united behind Trump. Like there's, there's no candidate as of this moment that the Democratic party has united behind. You've got Kamala Harris, obviously, assuming that she's just going to be handed the nomination on a solar platter. A lot of people don't like Kamala Harris. No. You've got what we're going to run Hillary Clinton again. We were just talking about this. Like you can't do that. You can't do that. You can't run Gavin Newsom. Um, I mean, look at what a disaster California is you can't, you can't just retread some of these, these washed up candidates out there and expect them to be able to beat Trump. No. You got to bring in fresh bud. Uh-huh. You got to bring in someone with mocks. Yeah. You got to bring in someone with gumption. Yeah. And you got to bring in someone with fortuitousness. Uh-huh. And I just don't know, I don't know anybody like that. Now what year is the next 25, 26, when is the next presidential election? This year. This is 2024. 2024. A new president will be elected and in 2025 we'll have a new president. Yes. Yes. Okay. So, uh, I think that Joe Biden probably saw that Trump got shot in the year was almost assassinated. Then he wasn't, then he held his fist up with the blood and the American flag. And he was like, there's no way I'm going to win. Yeah. He's been, he's been, um, do you have to be it's a fight? Mm hmm. Deified? Whatever the word is. Deified. And, uh, he was like, you know, instead of focusing on running this race that's unwinnable, I might as well just focus on my last few months of presidency and do some, uh, cool stuff, skydiving and shit like that. Yeah. So now we're in, uh, dare I say uncertain times. Yeah. We're kind of a turmoil here where it's going to be like, uh, almost like a battle royal type situation where all the potential candidates are going to come at each other very fast, very hard because it's got to happen quick. You got zero and also five democratic candidates. You got one Republican candidate. You have a third party guy that's getting the most votes more than any other third party. It's a fucking mess. Yes. Yeah. It's wild. And it's all going down in season 2024 of America because we like to make ourselves the center of stuff. And instead of starting in 1776 or whatever, we start in year zero and speaking of making yourself the center of stuff, uh, I guess that, that brings me to my announcement here. Oh, yeah. You do. You haven't announced me. I haven't announced me. As you very well may remember, um, you served as my campaign manager in, what was it 2016? Mm hmm. Doing it was when the campaign started for the 2018 pass a Robles mayoral election. Yeah. I did not win that, but I did. I didn't run. And you know, at this point, the way I feel is why not make this whole thing about me? I mean, America needs someone they can unite behind. They need young blood. They need someone who's going to shoot their shot and won't miss Trump. Yeah. Whoa. Hey, hold on. No, I meant, I meant, I meant in an election, I shouldn't have put, I shouldn't have had a gun in my hand. No, I shouldn't have had a gun in my hand. That's not that out for real. I shouldn't have had a gun in my hand. That's not what I'm saying. I'm not going to, I'm going to shoot my shot, but more like a basketball, more like a basketball. There you go. Basketball motion. Uh huh. So are you announcing your, your running for president of the United States? My fellow Americans, I'm announcing my candidates, my fellow Americans, I'm announcing my candidate to see, uh, for the nomination, uh, for the Democratic Party, for the presidential election this year. That is a wrinkly sash, you know, this is, it's been, it's been tucked away in my front 2016. This is from 2016. Yeah. So you might remember this. If you tuned into the awesome ties running from air series at any point, you might remember the sash and you know, I, I kept it because I always knew that there might be a day when I needed the sash, when I needed it, when my country needed me, needed me to put the sash back on. And I think today is that day. So you're so, you're officially coming out of retirement. I'm coming out of retirement and I am running for president. Damn. This is the first presidential election where I'm legally old enough. Uh huh. And I mean, that's really all I need, right? Yeah. There's got to be 35. What, what makes me any less qualified than Trump or any of these other old flux? Yeah, nothing. Not absolutely. Um, so are you running, uh, as a democrat? I got to run. Is it democrat? Cause they're the only ones that have an opening. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. And I mean, independence not going to win anyways. So now, yeah, you know, like I don't necessarily agree with the democrats on a lot of stuff. But there's some stuff I'm a fight for abortion rights, you know, make sure we can get them abortions. I'm also going to fight for gun rights. A lot of democrats aren't going to want to hear that, but you know, hey, I beat, I marched to the beat of, of my own drummer. Could we get like a drum sound? Uh, we have a good drum drum roll drum roll beat. Uh, this is a comedy podcast, like the actual, uh, this is our, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. It's no drum. What is going on here? Uh, I marched to the beat of my own drummer and I'm going to do things my way. I'm going to do things the highway. And if you don't like it, hey, there's the highway. Okay. Well, now that you've officially announced that you're running for president this year for this election. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Very much. Yes. So I think that it'd be a good idea. I have some questions for you for a presidential candidate. What is this? What is this like a, like a gotcha journalism type deal you trying to set me up? I didn't agree to a press conference. I mean, a press conference, but not like a open, this is in a town. We don't have all forum. We don't have time. We don't have time to schedule these things. A lot of these people have already given their points. All right. All right. All right. So now this will get your word out there and get your stance and everything. And then people will know who they're voting for. So Ty, what is your plan to address the current economic challenges and ensure sustainable growth for all of America? Well, we're going to stimulus for everybody. There's going to be two or three stimuli stimuli per year. Yeah. I like that. Yeah. As soon as I'm sworn in, that first stimmy's dropping. What about UBI? Universal basic income. No, he's a rapper from Cescrew. Ubi. Ubi. Ubi. Ubi. Ubi. You pick with us. Ubi. I think his name was. Okay. He's, is he going to stimulus? I mean, does he vote for me? That's going to, I mean, obviously it's going to depend on whether you vote for me. I guess I should have prefaced by saying that, but the, you know, everybody that has proof of it. So yeah. No, I can't do that. That's right. Yeah. Yeah. Sure. Everyone. Sure. He gets the stimulus. He gets the stimulus here. And then what about universal basic income? That is the universal basic income. The stimulus that you get a few times a year. The people, you know, like universal basic income, that's going to scare off a lot of conservatives. They're not going to want to hear that. It's going to sound like socialism. Yeah. But you hit them with the stimmy. They're like, yeah. Yeah. Give me, give me. Hit them with the stimmy. They're like, give me, give me. It's all about how you package it. Exactly. What do you propose to tackle climate change and transition the country to renewable energy sources? I mean, I'm going to, I'm going to delegate obviously, like you don't see Joe Biden or Trump out there tackling any issue. I'm going to, I'm going to, you know, surround myself with people who are experts in the field. Yeah. Okay. And scientists and people that know about climate change and they're going to advise me. And then I'm going to, you know, push through the legislation that allows them to tackle it. Well, I tackle, you know, all the other stuff. I have a lot of my plate. That's right. You know what I mean? It's not. Yeah. That, that's great idea. Why does nobody do that? Why do they not get the best and the best? Well, they, they do, but they, they surround themselves with yes men or people who are unwilling to cross party aisles and work with the, you know, the other parties. So nothing ever gets done. Well, they bring you an erasing all people. I'm going to surround myself with, you know, like all different types of voices and opinions. Okay, I like that. What are your top priorities for healthcare reform and how do you plan to make healthcare more accessible and affordable? We're going to, we're going to do, it's going to be like a, you know, everybody gets health care. Okay. Unless they don't want everybody to get health care and they can pay for it themselves. Wait. So you've got, you've got a lot of typical conservatives and I guess I do have to kind of go after the conservatives since I am running as a Democrat. They, they're, they, you know, they oppose universal healthcare. That's fine. They, they can pay it. They can pay fucking blue shield every month they can go right on, you know, doing what they're doing. So optional healthcare. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. If you, if you want free healthcare and I might be perfectly honest with you, it's probably not going to be as good, but you're not paying for it. You're not paying for it. I mean, you got to, you know, everything has its, its ups and downs. So you want the free healthcare, it's going to be, you know, it's going to be like Netflix with ads. So it's not going to be, you know, like straight to it. Yeah. It's like you can get a free luncheon school, but it's not going to be good. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. And you don't get to pick what it is. Yeah. And you might be able to see a doctor, but you might have to. So the thing like, if you get free healthcare and say if you break your leg, but your healthcare that you're getting today is for head stuff. Yeah, and also like kind of going back to the Netflix with ads comparison, you may have to sit through like some advertising while you're waiting to see a doctor and that's going to, you know, help, that's going to help pay for it. You might have to watch some ads you don't want to see and you're welcome to, you know, pay that money, that premium insurance premium and skip those ads. But if you want the free stuff, then I mean, so it's the YouTube business model. So like, I just imagine free healthcare, I go to the hospital, I'm bleeding out, coughing, but I have to watch like a 30 minute infomercial. Not necessarily first for butter. I mean, they're still going to treat you just like any emergency room would. Oh, yeah. Because they're not allowed to ask about insurance, but once yeah, exactly. Once they find out that you don't have that premium insurance, they're going to make you watch some ads. And I think that's reasonable. You're going to be laid up there, you know, in a hospital bed for some time anyways. Why? I mean, what's wrong with you having to sit through a couple of all state insurance commercials and something like that. So you're teaming up with big data. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Data is important. Can you outline your approach to immigration policy and how you intend to balance border security with humanitarian concerns? I mean, you know, the Democrats aren't going to like to hear this, but we can't just let everyone through. You know what I mean? It's getting a little crazy at the borders. And you know, like most reasonable politicians, I think there should be a path to citizenship, but it's not hopping the fence. It's not sneaking through a gate, you know what I mean? It's you got to do things the right way. So like fly? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, if you can get on a plane and get into the country legally, what you do from there is in any of my business, right? Yeah. You know, you get yourself a passport, you fly over here as a vacation or maybe you decide not to go back. That's really not my problem anymore. Yeah. You're here. All right. What measures will you take to improve the education system and ensure quality education for all children, regardless of their background? Um, you know, maybe pay teachers a little bit more, obviously, like the salary for your typical elementary school teacher or public school teacher isn't really high enough to incentivize a lot of people to seek that as a profession. So in order to get some of the brighter minds to go into the teaching profession and teach these children, we got to pay them a little bit more. Yeah. I feel like, uh, the younger the kids are that they're teaching, the less they get paid. Yeah. Yeah. And I heard somewhere, I don't know if this is true, that high school teachers get paid for summer vacation, but anything underneath like, uh, like middle school and below, you get paid for summer vacation, you have to get a second job. And you figure that those are the ones you should be paying the most because those are the most important, like developmental times of a child's life. Sure. And I mean, like there's a, there's a floor for what we pay, uh, police officers and firefighters and other, you know, civil servants, why is there no floor for what we can pay teachers? Like why should teachers have to suffer for a lower wage when they, okay? So yeah, we're going to pay our teachers more. Um, how do you plan to address the increasing national debt? Um, I'm going to leave that for the next guy to be perfectly honest. Okay. We're just, we're going to rack up that debt. I'll be perfectly honest with you about that. We're going to rack up that debt, but we're going to leave America in a better place to, you know, figure that out later. Once I leave office, yeah, potentially eight years, leave it better than how you found it. It'll be easier for us to deal with that debt. Yeah. I mean, really? I mean, how much, how many more years does Earth even have? We can just keep, we can just keep pushing that debt a little bit further. Yeah. What do we owe China or something? Like, I mean, where are they going to send somebody over here to collect us and shake us down? Like that's not going to happen. We'll just keep, we're just like a speck in the Milky Way galaxy, which is a speck in our part of the universe. Yeah. And I mean, like... So it doesn't matter. Sure. Sure. We owe China money, but like China owes us a debt of gratitude for all the stuff that we've invented and all the technology we've given them to, to reverse engineer and steal from us. Yeah. So like they can wait, they can wait on their money. Yeah. If you ever go to China and you have a hamburger, you're welcome. You're welcome. Electricity. Yeah. You're welcome. Ben Franklin. You're welcome. What are your views on criminal justice reform? And how do you plan to reduce systemic inequalities in the justice system? We're going to stop disproportionately convicting, you know, minorities and really focus and own in on the violent criminals and the, you know, predators and that sort of thing. Obviously, the war on drugs has been a failure for years now. So we're just going to continue to move away from drug related convictions and really focus on, you know, the violent crimes and the, you know, predators and that sort of thing that we're going to kind of dismantle the prison industrial system. I don't think that prisons really need to be a for profit business. And I mean, they're already out there, but, you know, if they go belly up, like, what do I care? Like fuck those prisons. Yeah. Prisons are privatized and I don't think that's right. Anyway, I don't think that people should rely on other. Oh, my prison's going to go out of business because you didn't convict enough black people. Yeah. Yeah. Deal with it. Yeah. Deal with it. Warden. It's a United States relationship with its allies and address international conflicts and diplomacy. See, this is another thing that, you know, probably a lot of Democrats are going to disagree with me on. But I don't really care too much about strengthening ties with our allies because what do our allies really do for us? Honestly, like, why do we have to keep protecting Ukraine and fucking Israel and pretty soon Canada is going to want something from us. I feel like if you, if you take your eight years off, they're going to suck our dicks out of the way. You know, a wise man once said, if you give a man a fish, he'll eat for one day. If you teach a man to fish, he's going to eat for the rest of his life. And that's what we can do for our allies is teach them our ways so that they can function, you know, in a successful democracy like we've been doing since, you know, we are inception. And then last one, how do you plan to support and promote technological innovation and ensure the United States remains competitive in the global tech industry? Well, I'm going to be relying heavily on AI. I mean, you know, anyone that watches this show obviously knows that about me already, but there's going to be a lot of stuff that I'm just not informed on. And I don't trust everybody that's in my ear. So I'm going to be relying on chat GPT, a lot of these AI, a lot of these AI speech models that to give me, you know, insight. And I think by doing that, we're going to take some of the conniving out of politics. You know what I mean? Like the self interest out of politics is AI. I mean, AI has no political influence typically now and now that Apple intelligence is right around the corner. Yeah, I'm going to have that Apple intelligence update by October. So I mean, that's going to, you know, before even elections, I'm going to have access to that. That's going to make me, you know, a lot more technologically savvy. Yep. Yeah. We're going to, we're going to let the tech flow. Okay. Well, I think that that is actually a great platform. I think that was solid. Yeah. Here and everything laid out like that. That's someone that I would vote for and hopefully someone that you would vote for too. So you should definitely go back, watch awesome ties running for mayor. Season two is better than season one, but season one is good. And I suggest you watch season two, appreciate it. And then once you get to feel the show and what's going on, go back to season one, witness the roots. And also know that, you know, like I'm wiser now, I'm richer now. Yeah. I'm more muscular now. I mean, just like all around better person now that I was severely, I'm a little bit more fat now, but I mean, that's, you know, so is Trump. Yeah. You can't judge me based on my physical fitness, but my mental aptitude. Yes. You know, through the roof, sharp, much sharper than Biden. So definitely check those out and just kind of keep that in mind now. I'm not exactly, you know, this is all moving so fast. This just happened today. I'm not sure the exact process of, you know, like what my path to the official nomination is, but we're going to look into that. We're going to do everything on our part. If nothing else, you can always write me in. You know what, we have, we have that guy that does the ballots that you and I both know. He like hangs out around our local target. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The petition guy, the petition. That's your petitions. Get this. Because I think that's what we need. Yep. Yep. We need signatures. He'll know what we need. He'll know how many signatures. We got to move fast. So what I'm going to, you know, ask everybody here to do is to reach out to your local congressman. I mean, your local government. I don't know who Senator, start sounding off in, you know, in the comments of other politicians and let them know that the candidate that you support for the Democratic presidential nomination is Thai. Yeah. Awesome. And also, if you're in Canada, which I know we have a lot of listeners in Canada, then you guys can pick a state, you know? Yeah. Or what I'm thinking is like kind of like how Russia played a role in Trump getting elected the first time. You pick a state. You guys. You call. You say, Hey, I'm from the state. I want awesome time. Yeah. You get some, get some bots cooking, you know, like even if it's not necessarily like moral what you're doing, there's ways for our Canadian brethren to, I mean, I did just say I'm not going to be really helping them much, but I think that's, you know, me being elected is still in the best interest of the Canadian citizens. Yeah. So if you're up in Canada, maybe even Mexico, you know, try to get that ball rolling on your part. See what you can do to help me out and get me in there. Yep. Um, and I think that you could definitely do it. You could, you could pull that vote in because people are scrambling. You know, I mean, I know where to vote. It comes crashing down and it hurts the tide and I got to be a man. I can't run and hide because I'm a real American and you hurt my friends. You hurt my pride. I've got to take a stand. I can't let it slide. I'm a real American. Uh, what? Sorry, I'm just looking something up. Are you looking at Laura Del Rey? Uh, Laura Del Rey would make a banging first lady. No, no, no, no. Are you singing the Hulk Hogan theme song? It's, it's a Rick Daringer song. Oh, okay. Rick Daringer of rock and roll Gucci coupe fame. I mean, did Hulk Hogan use it for a number of years throughout his wrestling career? Sure. The Hulk Hogan didn't pen it. Those are Rick Daringer's words. Not Hulk Hogan's. I'm not going to quote Hulk Hogan. We saw what Hulk Hogan has to say about the election. Yeah, we don't want to quote Hulk Hogan. I'm not going to ruin your political career on day one. So yeah, now that I know your announcement, I'm so sorry about the smart plug. Yeah, dude. Completely fucked me over. Again, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. He has no part of this campaign and, you know, I'm, I'm kind of, I mean, I guess sometimes when you're on like a news platform, you have to share the stage with some people whose ideologies don't necessarily match yours, but I just want to say that smart plug is in no way affiliated with my campaign whatsoever. And I did not stand by the hateful, hateful rhetoric that he spews. Yeah. You know, as far as I'm concerned, smart plug can go campaign for my, my opponent. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Smart plug. Stop. All right. This is, this is finished. All right. This is finished. This is finished. That's more habitat reporting. Yeah. It's finished. Yeah. Yeah. It's finished. It's finished.
