This show has always been about America and just old school common sense, it's not about left or right, he called a lit at 10 a.m. today, it's more about right or wrong, it's about cutting through the noise and finding the truth, it's uncomfortable talking about all of this stuff, finding things we have in common, not what divides us, it's about we the people, we do news, we do sports, we do entertainment, and we have a damn good time in the process. Okay, we have, there we go, now we have sound, I was gonna say, just popped on, just popped on, there it is, I can hear you now, you sound amazing. Okay, welcome to the show folks, welcome to the show star, we had some audio issues there, I couldn't tell if you could hear me or not, I just knew that I couldn't hear Tom. But we've got a lot, thank you for solving that Krista, we've got a lot to cover, I was saying that we've got John Kirby saying that we're close to not we, Iran is close to doing something poised, they're poised to make their move. We've got JFK, not JFK JFK's dead, RFK Junior, and Tulsi Gabbard who are on the transition team for Trump, we've got ABC calling out Kamala Harris, we've got the whole Mark Zuckerberg stuff, we've got all of those things coming up, so there's plenty of stuff we're gonna get to, but speaking of the John Kirby stuff real quick before we dive into this, Iran, according to DOD and the administration poised to make a move, we've known this is coming for a while, things still spiraling, I don't know if you've noticed this, still spiraling out of control between Russia and Ukraine, all the more reason folks with all of this, an election that's coming up, a contentious, super important election that's coming up, all the more reason have your ducks in a row to have your finances in order, and I suggest that you talk to our friends over at Genesis Gold Group, there's lots of precious metals companies out there, we have chosen to partner with Genesis Gold Group because of their values and who they are as a company, they are an America first company unabashedly, they are a biblically based company, faith driven, that's who they are, they align with most of you in this audience, they align with us here in the studio and they don't, they don't play games guys, there's no gimmicks, there's no hey, we're gonna give you this if you do this, where there's none of this back end games that they're playing, they're not trying to put you in a program that benefits them, they're trying to put you in a program and an investment structure that benefits you, so you go to goldwithdrew.com, you can see it on the screen now, it's also in the description on whichever platform you're listening to or watching right now, you go there, fill out a very basic form, they will get in touch with you, figure out where you're at, what you want to do, what you want to accomplish and then come up with a plan that works for you, that is a huge difference compared to a lot of other companies who will figure out a program that works for them, they will figure out a program that works for you, so go to goldwithdrew.com, get in touch, have a conversation and I think that you're gonna like working with Genesis Gold Group, they're good people, which is why we have partnered with them, so go check it out against goldwithdrew.com, Andy thank you by the way, appreciate that. Okay, so RFK Jr, I just mentioned that, we'll just kind of mention it as well here, but Team Trump has announced that RFK Jr and Tulsi Gabbard will be on the transition team for the Trump campaign, I think that's a really smart move. Yeah, I think it's a smart move because that really puts them to the forefront of Trump's campaign because now it's not only Trump and JD Vance, but you've got two people who are former Democrats on the Republican transition team, so it kind of makes the whole Trump orbit a little bit more balanced now. Yeah, which is a smart move and you need? Yeah, I mean, I'm so glad that we're not seeing like dumbasses like John Bolton on the transition team, you know, people that we've seen for years and years and years who are just poison, they're poison to the country and their only allegiance is to the military industrial complex. Do you think just a side point, this has literally nothing to do with anything, but just humor me on this Tuesday. Do you think so much of, and there's a lot of sickness, we're gonna talk COVID here in a second, actually, so there's actually a kind of a segue here. Do you think John Bolton, who's got this big-ass bushy mustache, sickness, you know, happens a lot in the nasal cavity, do you think when you've got a bushy mustache, and I've got a mustache too, but it's not as bushy as John Bolton, like you can get lost for weeks in John Bolton's mustache. Do you think that you get more sick with that? I here's my thought on John Bolton's dick broom, that it's more of a giant sort of air filter. I think you get more bacteria problems, but I think you get less viruses. Okay, so it's it's it's it's it's blocking. It's preventing. Yes. Okay, so maybe I grow this shit out thicker. Yes, at a handlebar. Oh, it'd be fantastic. We could look like the James gang for you. You don't you don't see it a lot. You don't see it a lot. None of you guys care about this, but I'm gonna tell you anyways because this is my show. I'm trimming some stuff up earlier this week, and you know all this has gotten longer. But this part here, you couldn't see it so much, but it had weaved into this. It was naturally doing this. It was like here, but it just weaved in like it was braided in with the rest of the beard, but I'm like kind of like pulling on them like Oh, damn, like that thing. It's just gotten unruly in there like I might need to name this thing at this point. You got to keep growing it. I'm telling you, we would look like a bank robbery gang from the 19. Well, here's what we probably need to do for being honest. I keep growing it. We changed the lighting a little bit, and we go to more of a saloon style set. Yes, that's that's what makes sense. I mean, there's usually drinking going on. There's usually something that that probably makes the most sense. Okay, I think it's smart to go getting back to the RFK Tulsi thing, having them on the team. And look, some people will say Tulsi was kind of a given. You thought that was going to happen. Sure, you thought the endorsement was going to happen, but it still needed to happen. And it did this week. And then naming her to the transition team and then likely some sort of a position afterwards, if we're able to get past any of the cheating that occurs in November, I think that's really smart. And as RFK has said this week, there's going to be other Democrats there too. And some of you might think that's a bad idea. I think it's brilliant. The worst thing Trump has done in his time in DC, as short as it's been, is surround himself the wrong people. They have been establishment rhino hacks, deep state hacks, who are just, they're just as bad. They're on the same team as the other side. They're part of the uni party. You can't appoint them. You need to appoint people who are visionaries, people who have some different opinions, people who disagree on some things. RFK's talked about a lot. We've got a clip today. We're going to play. It's not this one. But he's talked about this week since making this decision and endorsing Trump. He was like, I didn't want to do it. There's a lot until I talked to him. And then he did. And obviously that's, we all know where it went. But his wife kind of convinced him to have this call again, or to have this call in the first place and talk to Trump. And they came to this is how America, like honestly, what I love the most about, I know we talked a ton about RFK Jr. yesterday. But what I love about what has happened with him endorsing Trump and dropping out of the race is I think it is a beautiful picture of what America is supposed to be. I disagree with you on something. But I love this country so much and agree with you on enough that I think we can make this work. That's how conversation and discourse and discussion, that that's how all that's supposed to happen. And honestly, I've told you guys this before, we don't do it a lot. We're talking about doing it more. But those are some of my favorite discussions, because I want to know where you're coming from. I understand what the far left with the radical left, the progressive left is doing. I understand they're trying to usher in communism, that they're all Marxists. I get that. I understand what they're thinking. I understand what they're going to do before they do it because their idiots in history dictates what they're going to do next. But the people who are normal and diverge a little bit on this topic or that topic, I think those conversations are fascinating. I do too. And I think RFK actually explains the Trump Vance platform better than Trump and Vance do. Yeah, because we've heard over the years, we've heard Trump say the same things over and over again. The election was rigged. When we get back in, we'll get other people get the economy back on track, which is all fine and good. Those topics are great. But unfortunately, when you keep saying that over and over again, I know you have to stay on message and on brand and everything, other things get missed. And I think the greatest thing that RFK talked about was making America healthy again. So he's able to pick up on big ag, the pharmaceutical industry. He can lay out another case, another facet, to what concerns Americans. And I think he does a much better job at laying out that case to the American people than either Trump or Vance do. I think so too. And I tell you what, side point, I know most of you have already listened to it. I'm behind on a lot of things. There's there's things where we hit before and then there's long if it's longer form stuff, I'm behind because I just don't have time. And my life is just what it is right now. But I listened to and Tom had referenced it before and Tom and I've talked about it since. But I listened to that Tucker interview with I forget her name, Casey, the doctor, former doctor and her brother, who outlines a lot of the points we talked about on the show yesterday with RFK Jr. and some of his comments, he's pulling a lot of the same data points. Man, so fascinating. But all that to say, that's his met. There's a lot of points he's hitting on message wise that is going to help the Trump campaign. All that to say, I agree with you. I sent that to Krista earlier. I'm reminding her again now live on air. Check out that interview because I know that you're gonna love it. It's it's a it is terrifying and fascinating all at the same time. Right. And I think some of the positions that RFK has are not necessary. They may have been topics that both Trump and Vance had thought about in the past, but the way that he's able to articulate it, hopefully moving forward, Trump and Vance can take some of those talking points and implement it into their presentations to voters as they go out in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and talk to the voting public out there. Because I think what RFK is bringing up is really really important and a lot and to me it's what his topics are some of the most important that we have because it's the health of every citizen in the United States. And I think that's why Cheryl encouraged him to go back to Trump because as much as Kennedy as RFK believes that there is a problem and he's able to shine a light on that problem. Yeah. Cheryl was smart and said since you got rebuffed by the Democrat Party, they have no room for you. Your only other option to get your message out is to team up with Trump. Yeah. That's what he did and I think it's gonna be very effective. Yeah. Absolutely it is. Well and I would I mean I would be shocked and I would be frankly disappointed if Trump and Vance don't talk about this because here's the deal. Everyone gets to different points, different understanding on different issues when they do right? You can't you can't force it. It's like it's like trying to bring lead someone to Christ and have them be a believer. You can't push too hard. It needs to happen when it's supposed to happen. You plant the seeds, you do the right things but it's gonna same thing with news stories and ideologies and all these things but I tell you what once you start to learn and pay attention more to how broken food is in America and how just ridden with chemicals it is when you see something simple that should be a couple ingredients and it's 60 ingredients most of which that you cannot pronounce. You start to see how big of an issue this is and then you start to tie it to the medical stuff which that interview with Tucker did and then you start to tie it to this and you start to tie it to the stuff we talked about yesterday where one in 22 kids in California is born autistic now and 50 percent of America's youth is will be you start to tie it to all these things and I don't know how it doesn't go from a nonexistent issue in your mind to the top of the list I really just don't so I all that say I hope you're right I hope bringing him in they hit on those points and I know look I like Trump a lot Trump will brag about some of the stuff he eats half of his campaign stops he goes into places that he shouldn't be eating right but I hope this is an alarm bell for him and an awakening sure you're 78 or whatever he is and you've made bad food decisions up to most of us have our whole lives to whenever you figure out you figure it out but once you figured out you got to do something about it and you got to say something and I hope that him advanced do again we got a lot of other issues to tackle as well but this is a big one who cares about national secure I mean I'm a national security education infrastructure guy but this one is up there tied with it now because you can say who cares about the election all these things who cares about war with Iran worth it and I do but because because at the end of the day if they're trying to kill you here at home those things don't really matter they don't matter at all so so I think that that puts that up at that level yeah but our roads you can't drive if you're dead bro absolutely so so we got we we got we got we got some stuff to fix no two ways about it and I hope he hits those points unless your ultimate goal is to kill everybody that's here and let's say you plan on bringing other people in that you could lord over in control possibly what are you talking about Tom I have no idea yeah it rhymes with great replacement theory but of course that is just it that's a conspiracy we shouldn't yeah we shouldn't say those words though yeah we didn't you didn't hear that here there's no great replacement theory happening in America nope or anywhere on the planet 30 million people are just an illusion yep yep doesn't doesn't change anything honestly you know in what's weird too is we had that breach of the Social Security Office where they got Social Security numbers from dead people I wonder and every living person but yes and dead people I wonder who are gonna get the Social Security numbers for the dead people hmm interesting I guess we'll never know no never know see you - we can play a long we can do this this is joy and hope joy and hope what a remarkable campaign slogan for a terrible slot of a person um did you guys see this this is totally changing the story here but we've we've got this new tweet I saw this from insider paper we'll have Chris to slap it up here covid surge forces schools to close and bring back pandemic error measures and more at risk is millions head back to class next week Alabama and Tennessee's announced the closure of two schools affecting more than a thousand children just days into the new academic year with officials saying the virus had forced them to shut and it forced them to shut meaning close and carry out a deep clean so to be clear we're talking about two schools this is not widespread but also to be clear it's got to start somewhere and if and this is this is Alabama and Tennessee we're talking about the south baby yeah it's you should not be focused on covid it is football season let's focus on what matters but we don't know what you know they're going to but man please no one go along with this and close down again this is just insanity it's insanity that anyone would go along with this look David David doesn't actually have AIDS he has covid right now I don't know if that's a news flash to anyone my brother had covid over the weekend as well like I there's still versions of covid going around and there always was before covid before people referred to it that way but you know what in the past what we never did shut down schools shut down an entire economy and country forced people out of their jobs force people to put things into their ass or their arm I think it was mostly the arm but we never went down any of these crazy paths for that what'd you do you drink water you're rested yes you watch older reruns you watch big big trouble and little China for the 18th time on TV god bless you Kurt Russell handsome son of a bitch but but you just you just were sick yes you don't close down schools and you don't create these problems for our kids it I hope that this doesn't pick up again I'm scared that it will and it's still remarkable to me I saw multiple posts again today that you know there's more and more push and fear over monkey pox stop it you guys stop it I don't I don't understand if you get caught up in the pandemonium over covid I'm disappointed in you if you get caught up in the pandemonium and discussion over monkey pox and you're not nightly raging with other gay men I don't know what to tell you this this this is not something to get panicked over no unless it was aerosolized and let's all let's not forget about the late the early 1980s when AIDS first came about dr. Fauci is on record on camera saying there's a possibility that AIDS could be trans transmitted through the air and when I say AIDS I'm not talking about HIV because that was before dr. Gallo did his research and supposedly discovered the HIV virus which there's really no link between HIV and it's a whole other between HIV and AIDS but that's a whole other road that we could go down but the fact of the matter is when it comes to or authoritarian control once authoritarians get a taste of the power that they have and the ability to make people do things like stand six feet apart put a mask on not come to school have remote schooling whatever it is they want to do it again because they've never had that much control before and during that whole thing that happened four years ago that we're not supposed to talk about on YouTube it they they want to get back to those glory days where they just had they had unmitigated power they had total control over people's lives and once you get a taste of that kind of power you don't want to give it up and that's what we're seeing we're seeing the these little dictators pop up again and come up with these mandates because they want to control people's lives yeah period can I just make a side comment that has nothing to do with anything sure that that's absolutely what's happening and once you have that taste you have to have it again we had a kind of a similar conversation before the show today we won't go into that but yeah it's like you know if you're eating like we had Philly cheesesteaks and it was so good it was so good that you know you I wanted to save half my sandwich but I just couldn't because it tasted so good so I had to smash down the other one now I feel uncomfortably full but it's just what you get that taste you want it over and over over again same thing with power absolutely absolutely and and you also not to justify it you also kind of can't blame them because because that's the human condition right you have that okay I just you just had a Philly cheesesteak you just won something for the first time you just had sex for whatever it is to the endorphin rush you're like I need well I need that again like that sure was nice that's that's that's absolutely what it is I just had to say there is someone in the chat today who we're so glad is here with the the name Van Halien 2 and I've already mentioned I love it and and the response was yes I do have more than one Van Halen poster up in my house I love it seeing so many Van Halen concerts is ridiculous Tom and I debate well I've got a question for Van Halen 2 I knew you would age old question which which which iteration of Van Halen was the best what between the two between the David Lee Roth and the Sammy which one and it can be okay to say both but yeah that is the question and Tom and I differ on it yeah and we have an age difference you know I'm younger than Tom by by a little bit and we'll wait we'll wait for that we'll wait for the I won't I won't hit on that anymore until it also have a quite what happened to Michael Anthony it was like he was he's still playing with Sammy right but was there like some sort of schism that happened between Alex and Eddie and I don't know it's never been made clear to me I would just say this unanswered I will just say this when Van Halen started told you this million times when Van Halen started the label and the producers behind it wanted Sammy to be the guy and he's so Van Halen says because they're 90 seconds behind before you ask fear warning I'm so I'm presuming favorite album fair warning which is a David Lee Roth album so I I don't want to be presumptuous but I think that that's the direction does Tom have on bib overalls I do Tom's overalls today are amazing if he had a full screen shots I've gotten so much joy out of seeing his outfit all day seeing Tom walk away I'm not lusting over him but I see him walk away because the back side's different than the front side like it's a lot going on there's a lot going on with his overalls today I like to call it Oklahoma Dust Bowl chic oh that's a look I'm going for that's what it is that's what it is um okay all right well we'll kind of duck and dodge in between with the Van Halen conversation because once you get us going on Van Halen it's kind of hard to get us back on track bottom line going back to the COVID thing don't close schools and if you close schools it can't be in the south we got too much pride down here and again it's football season don't do anything out of the ordinary let's just let's just enjoy let's not close universities let's not close you if you if you fuck with football I fuck with your life okay all right that's that's how this goes I will I will hurt people that are close to you um I just will I just I like it um too much and that sounds selfish and that's that's ridiculous yeah I know I'm ridiculous so let's just let's call it what it is all right we have an answer so let's just stay on this topic for a second I think both have credence amen I do I think Hagar was a much better lyric writer Sammy was much better live performer that's what I always tell you you're my you're my person Van Halen too I think I think he's an amazing performer yeah I totally agree with that assessment the the David Lee Roth was a much better performer on stage during the live shows no no no no Sammy is better on live Sammy's amazing live have you seen Sammy live I have not okay that's what Van Halen to say oh that that's what I say um I think Sammy live is so freaking entertaining now now David Lee Roth was too but I think Sammy was more town anyways I Van Halen's Van Halen they're legendary I love it we all we can all agree rock and roll Hall of Famers we love the greatest rock bands of all time yeah doesn't matter who the lead singer was yeah I well with Gary Sherone that was maybe a mistake yeah well we all have her hiccups yeah we we do um okay now we're moving on speaking of covid people who are here for the first time are like what is this show we haven't figured it out yet we're doing it together it's a team thing that's that's it's a team thing but Mark Zuckerberg who weeks ago said that when Trump you know raised his fist and said fight fight fight is one of the most baddest things he's ever seen a lot of people have said that and it was it was quite the moment after the the current government tried to kill him um but now there was a letter sent to Jim Jordan there's been hearings and conversations going on and we let's just put this up Krista and I'll read it it's small on your screen I'll read it as you have it up there on the screen but he said this chairman Jordan I appreciate the committee's interest in content moderation on online platforms as you are a where meta has produced thousands of documents as part of your investigation and made a dozen employees available for transcribed interviews further to our cooperation with your investigation I welcome the opportunity to share what I've taken away from this process there's a lot of talk right now around how the u.s. government interacts with companies like meta and I want to be clear about our position our platforms are for everyone their platforms meaning Facebook and Instagram are for everyone we're about promoting speech and helping people connect in a safe and secure way as a part of this we regularly hear from governments around the world and others with various concerns about public discourse and public safety in 2021 senior officials from the Biden administration including the White House repeatedly pressured our teams for months to censor certain covid-19 content including humor and satire and expressed a lot of frustration with our teams when we didn't agree ultimately it was our decision whether or not to take content down and we own our decisions including covid-19 related changes we made to our enforcement in the wake of this pressure I believe the government pressure was wrong and I regret that we were not more outspoken about it I also think we made some choices that with the benefit of hindsight and new information we wouldn't make today like I said to our teams at the time I feel strongly that we should not compromise our content standards due to pressure from any administration in either direction and we're ready to push back if something like this happens again in a separate situation the FBI warned us about a potential Russian disinformation operation about the Biden family and Burisma in the lead up to the 2020 election that fall when we saw a New York post story reporting on corruption allegations involving the then the then democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden's family we sent that story to fact checkers for review and temporarily demoted it while waiting for a reply it's been made clear that the reporting was not all caps not I'm saying all caps it's not all caps they're not Russian disinformation and in retrospect we shouldn't have demoted the story we've changed our policies and processes to make this make sure this doesn't happen again for instance we no longer temporarily demote things in the US while waiting for fact checkers and then the last page continues apart from content moderation I want to address the contributions I made during the last presidential cycle to support electoral infrastructure I'm glad that I'm glad that you're doing this here mark the idea here was to make sure local election jurisdictions across the country had the resources they needed to help people vote safely during a global pandemic I made these contributions through the Chan Zuckerberg initiative they were designed to be non-partisan spread across urban rural and suburban communities still despite the analyses I've seen showing otherwise I know some people believe this work benefited one party over the other my goal is to be neutral and not play a role one way or another or even to appear to be playing a role so I don't plan on making a similar contribution this cycle respectfully mark Zuckerberg so lots of conversation about this letter here and look everything that was said sounds good and I can respect if we're just going by a letter and and the copy on said letter I can respect we were pressured we made a mistake we went this direction we shouldn't have in retrospect we would do it differently also I didn't mean to do this yada yada yada but I don't really care because I have so much money that none of you matter that's that's that's that's what that's at and and you can see why some people are excited like told you we were right and he's coming out and owning it I see things like this and I'm sure some of you are in similar situations I see things like this and ask to myself why am I seeing this why am I reading this why is mark saying this what else is going on because that's the world we live in now and I don't like it I'm just saying this hand here this hand's doing something else 100% what he's doing right now right so you have to ask yourself now look is it possible let's let's be real to and let's be fair for a second has marked on a lot of things that have gone I can tell you the Drew Berkwas brand and the pages that are connected to it and the websites and shows over the years have suffered because of decisions that Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg made so I'm not on his team but that said can a person change absolutely they can change and we've seen it and we continue to see it with other people but just because it can happen doesn't mean that is what is in fact happening and I think you have to be in this day and age more skeptical as depressing as that is you have to be more skeptical at least at the start when things like this happen so to me it's okay why is he saying this there's an election coming up it's when we talked about this off air it could be it could probably be a lot of things but two things off the bat is you're trying to cover your ass because you think Trump's gonna win and you want to be protected or at least give yourself the hope of protection from from what happened back then or two you want the American people to believe hey my bad I did wrong I've learned from my ways I'm saying I'm sorry publicly like Tom just said you're looking at me here apologizing well I'm doing this now okay the third option is he has changed facebook is going to be more fair and reasonable and I hope that that would be the case but I think that's the least likely of the three scenarios yeah I don't think they're going to be fair and reasonable yeah the thing that I do first of all I think a lot of us or this his sort of his maya copa here it's a little too late for people like us like myself who's been mocked and ridiculed ever since this thing happened in 2020 that we weren't allowed to talk about on youtube and we were right the entire time we're right about everything and I think one of the reasons why people like us were right is because we have kids and at least for myself I didn't want my kids to be scared of something that I knew that had a 99.97 survivability rate right so I thought it was up to me to be able to put their minds at ease but you had people who were in positions of authority like a Mark Zuckerberg because of the amount of money that he's made off of social media app and other people within the government because they work for the government terrorizing and terrifying everybody yeah instead of saying it's good everybody's good just keep doing what you're doing you could take some precautions here and there but it was the snowball effect just kept going and going and going because we live in a society that has tried to mitigate it mitigate risk and being uncomfortable for the last 30 years so of course when something like this comes along and we're being fed all these images of people supposedly dropping over dead in China and being or being locked inside their houses which locked inside their houses I'm probably I'm gonna say that was probably true right but just like the falling over dead in public it was just ridiculous it was all propaganda that a lot of us fell for and especially seeing those images night after night on network news you're gonna start getting scared is it is Mark Zuckerberg's change of tune because he's been doing jujitsu and is is taking human growth hormone or testosterone maybe does is he looking at Elon Musk and realizing that Musk's you know the way he's going now his contribution to the world when it's when it comes time to write about in the history books is going to be huge and he's going to be a little footnote and he's trying to jump on the bandwagon of trying to be somebody who's thought of other than a puppet for the government and being somebody who is their own man and made their own decisions and created a company with the help of the CIA that became that went on to become one of the largest platforms in world history right you know is he is he thinking about his own legacy at this point and trying to to write the course remember when um uh Richard Nixon died and all the presidents got together and Rosalind Carter was so pissed off because everyone was saying such nice things about Richard Nixon and that's when she told Jimmy you need to do something and he started having that habitat for humanity because he wanted to work on his legacy right so of not being he wanted to not be the worst president exactly so in us and and now and Jimmy good news you had to wait a little bit longer but now you're not exactly now you're not now Joe's got that and and god forbid if cam cam were to take over then then Joe would have the shortest reign ever of being the worst no i think you're right though all that to say yeah is it a legacy thing or is it something from the heart i don't you know tiffany says he and tiffany welcome to the show by the way he's covering his ass just like how camal is now all in on conservative policies yeah no i i think i think it's it's it's it's not i i would i would hesitate to say it's genuine i whatever it is who knows but it's not genuine i don't think it's good i think it it should spell more concern um then relief in terms of how you interpret it how you take it all of that it's just uh and and this is the thing this is the thing with our side and the reason i wanted to bring it up like because i almost didn't bring it up but i like to give you this cheery rosy news all the time right that's that's what we do around these parts and just tell people to stop being stupid because you see a lot of people like oh yeah we got it he's finally woken up he's on our side now i don't know why i'm going into this void like like at baby people get excited just though there's a new pull out that says trumps up by this many points or that many points or it could be the inverse it could be the opposite trumps down whatever stop it stop stop being manipulated by the headlines is the point yeah they tell you to be scared over a fear and put up a death counter and everyone goes all in on it they tell you this poll says this it's not even worth trying anymore you've lost or hey you're winning so much stop trying so the other side can catch up whatever whatever the case might be we're so bad at at being manipulated as a country by the headlines it's remarkable these last two conventions that we had the dnc being the latest one where you had the chief signator of the hunter biden laptop being russian having the earmarks of russian russian disinformation was leon panetta yeah leon panetta former director of the c_i_a_ spoke at the convention okay let's back up a little bit more you had mike pompeo former director of the c_i_a_ speaking at the rnc mike pompeo is the one who is putting together an assassination team to kill julian assanj while he was being held in prison why those two assholes or speaking at these conventions i have no idea but that should tell everybody who's actually in charge yeah it should but it doesn't know not at all all smoke and mirrors ma'am our sides right your side's wrong i love i love living in this day and age it's just the best speaking of social media and things being super great you had the telegram ceo pavella durov who was arrested in france been now charged on 12 criminal counts and you can you can you can just pop that up there's a a tweet here from insider paper he's been charged on 12 insider accounts you had chris pavoskey who who's a friend ceo of of rumble who fled europe in in the wake of this and you've got lots of um people in in tech i don't want to say big tech because big tech is implies the other side but people in tech fringe tech whatever we want to call it conservative tech who are concerned because you've got them going after saying you're not censoring enough you're you're not dictating what people can and cannot say and that's essentially what's happening look do i know pavo do i do i is he done everything right in his life no i don't know the guy from adam i actually don't like his platform a lot of people love his platform i think it's wonky a shit don't like it but i think he has the right to have it and do whatever he wants and there's a lot of people who love it and and so he's he's under scrutiny been arrested you've got other people concerned about how far this goes particularly overseas you know it was weeks ago when you had the EU warning elon not to do an interview with trump that's that is the phase where we're getting with things but so that's this is an interesting story that will continue to track and i'm gonna kind of speed through this because we got a lot of other stuff i want to get to but you've got one of put in senior allies who's saying that washington was behind the arrest of telegram ceo over the weekend saying the telegram is one of the few i'm just reading this from here telegram's one of the few and at the same time the largest internet platforms of which the united states has no influence um on the eve of the u.s. presidential election it's important for Biden to take telegram under control that's what they're saying doesn't not make sense oh well the uh pavel pavel right yeah he won't give any intel agency a backdoor in that's what they want right there it's just like with tiktok they want a backdoor in they don't want one person having the control having the keys to all this information that they can't have access to that's what they want that's why he's been arrested because they want that backdoor even more so to me this is this is just a practice one because elan musk is the mobi dick that they really want to land and they if i was elan musk i would not be going to brazil and i would not be going to europe for the next ten years or so because they're the ones who are hot on censorship on twitter and we'll do whatever they can to make sure that they have some sort of control of what's put on the platform but it's insane that we're seeing this huge shift from western civilization used to be the ones the rest of the world counted on to keep totalitarians at bay right now western civilization has become the totalitarians whereas people like russia united arab emorets are the ones who are sticking up for free speech right i mean how insane is this it is it is i'm it's just so fascinating to be alive right now and i don't say that in a good way i mean it is interesting but it's the the stuff that's happening like like you're saying it's just so back ask words it's just wild and i've got like a hair or something floating across my face sorry i'm but man i i don't know i think it's it's absolutely insane it's going to be interesting to see what happens with this microne by the way said that this was not a political motivated move so i we got to trust that right once again i've said this before and we've said and i'll say it again because it bears repeating the biggest prepare purveyors of disinformation misinformation and malinformation are western governments yeah so microne coming out and saying it's not political he's a liar and he's also married to a man who groomed him from the age of fourteen i was going to say go back to bone in your uh there's that but whatever they say the opposite you can bet the opposite is true and i will make this prediction i bet you in the coming days we're going to find out that thomas crooks had a telegram account and it's going to be oh this is why this is why we need a back door this is why the information on telegram can't be encrypted because we could have prevented something like this because thomas crooks he was on telegram and and and the counter i mean i that's so true but the counterpoint is so obviously in in this particular the butler instance i don't care if there was i don't care if he was posting flyers around town i'm coming to it is bad as the failures were that day it doesn't matter it could be someone who'd never had an account who never had any presence anywhere and yet still was so obviously there to do nefarious things it it doesn't it doesn't matter but you're right that they'll they'll pull something like that oh yeah and then also forget the fact that well we cremated his body instantly cleaned off the roof instantly and just moved on from it but don't worry like we'll get you the truth there's a picture a cop took a picture of him texting somebody and we have no idea oh he was a lone gunman oh when is a lone gunman text somebody sounds like his dad is hired like a high-end attorney yeah to see what what a mess but again there's nothing's nothing's gonna happen folks i wish that it would i wish that it would actually go somewhere but it's it's not going to go anywhere we're still waiting as we always say vegas nashville jfk how far do you want to go back pearl harbor you're right leaven i mean it's it's this is it's utter insanity jet fuel doesn't melt steel sorry uh that's let's get to the question of the day so question of the day for today is this we have pavaldor off the the CEO of telegram who was arrested 12 charges so far we've had elon who's been warned we've had chris pavlovsky who's who's fled europe mostly to to preaminate any kind of arrest but but you have that happened do you think that we're going to see another arrest or prosecution of a big tech or again not big tech of a tech social media platform ceo type in in the coming months do you think that it stops basically with pavald or do you think there will be more let us know your responses we will get to ours as well as you're sending in your responses i'm going to tell you about this guys we've been talking about aches and pains inflammation a lot this week mostly because rfk jr to his credit has brought a lot of attention uh you know i know my family pays attention to this yours might as well there's a lot of families and friends that you know that don't pay any attention to it all they don't ever look at the ingredients on what they eat they just do it but for a myriad of reasons what we eat how our broadie processes what we eat all of that we are mostly in this country and on this planet frankly glycine deficient and glycine is the main thing that fights inflammation so we need more of it each of these packs in this box of sweet amine here there's individual packets you just tear off the top port into a drink put it on your cereal do whatever you want to do with it put in your coffee i had it in my coffee this morning which i hadn't done it actually and it was it was great but you put it in there you get eight grams which is more than enough to fight inflammation and stop it right where it starts most people start to see results in several days after taking this of course like anything you've got to be consistent but this is a way to fight that and man i tell you what when you're battling inflammation most people don't know they're battling it you you're miserable when you get some relief from it you're not so when there's ways to get relief from it why wouldn't you do it that's why we're excited about partnering with sweet amine we're in it for the long haul with them you're going to hear a lot more about them we're going to have dr joe brin back on who created and founded this um you know probably sometime next month but we're going to get him back on to talk about it but this is the answer so go check it out you can do a trial pack 12 days just 1995 if you use promo code drew you'll get five dollars off so 1495 free shipping risk-free if you don't like it at the end call them they'll give you your money back go to sweet amine dot com that's sweet w-s-e-e-t-a-m-i-n-e dot com sweet amine dot com use promo code drew you'll get five dollars off give it a shot there's other packs there too you can you can go be able to start the trial pack you can go right to the 30-day pack which is what this is you can go to whatever you want but give it a shout the link is also in the show description today all right so question of the day was do you think there will be other social media slash big tech mostly social media not big tech but folks arrested or prosecuted for going against the grain like Pava was um Poppy says yes more Judy says I think Zuckerberg thinks so Barb says yes they want to silence their opponents absolutely B.J. Nichols says yes Europe will not stop we will see them try to shut down more online platforms and restrict free speech says Courtney yeah I think so too Tom what are you thinking I kind of go back and forth I see this is more of a intimidation campaign I don't think there'll be actually physical arrests like this I think it this is one of these cases of message sent message received I don't think that the government I don't think the European Union or the United States government has to take it to the next step as they did in France with Pavell so I think it's going to stop here I think everybody's received the message okay I think that's a fair answer um yes but shame on our government if they allow them to be extradited that's the one that gets me yeah I think we're getting dangerously close to the point where we're going to see our country hand over somebody to the European Union to be processed to prosecuted for a free speech issue that where where the content was generated on American soil well I think you're right I think that's what it is on both fronts I think I think I tend to agree with you I'd be shocked if they arrested another because it is message sent message received Pavell was arrested 12 counts everyone else whether you're rumble getter truth social whoever gab you name it they're like Elon - like okay I see how you're playing we don't want that I think Elon will play it tougher than some of the others will but you saw you saw the clip several weeks ago where the the United Kingdom Metro Police Chief said we will extradite you we will work with American partners if you say something that we seem 10 say is hate speech or disinformation we will charge you and have you extradited over here to the United Kingdom and I also don't think that will go extreme and have it happen to multiple people but I do think it will happen to one or several because all you have to do is send the message because remember at the end of the day what these people want is they want self-censorship they don't want to have to do it all themselves that's a lot of work but if they can get you to self-sensor like happened during the thing that happened four years ago yes like happened with also the thing that happened four years ago with the the the two presidential candidates whatever if they can get you to self-sensor and just not talk about it out of fear of reprisal whether that's being demonetized being kicked off a platform being arrested being arrested and extradited to another country whatever the whatever the threat is once there's an example to point to you they can say you don't want to be like that guy do you and it really is kind of game over because 90 you might not but 90 percent of the people are going to be like yeah I you know what I got a job I got kids I'm not going to screw around with that and I also understand that point which is which is why they do it this way they want you to fear for what you could lose where you could go and just shut your mouth because they can get away with what they want to get away with if everyone shuts their mouth so I tend to agree all that saves the longest answer ever I don't think there are more I think that there's probably enough one is enough here one will be enough maybe two three for emphasis with Americans getting extradited over a meme about Joy Behar and Joy Reid or whoever the whatever the hell it's about it's funny how when the arrests are made or when whenever censorship censorship takes place it never cuts the other direction it's always the people being critical of government it's never the other way yeah never ever the other way but but of course they'll come out and say but we are fair and just doing what's best for you yeah no they're not no they're not uh the media obviously a big part of the government and big part of what's happening in this country and to be very clear before playing this clip the media is not on your side the media hates you the media hates this country the media hates your friends they hate your children they just don't care they're just willing pawns in this game who take a paycheck they feel like they're part of things they get invited to cocktail parties and then eventually they get asked rafed and shoved off a cliff there's that which is maybe too visual for some but but that's that that's the point look at Brian's Delta no one cares about Brian's Delta his parents hate him like you were used now you try and talk no one listens you're like why does no one listen because you were used you were just a pawn in the game so they do this but you've had recently and this is where it gets confusing you've had people come out and make comments call out Biden's health stuff call out cam cam for being a slut they haven't called her a slut but you have them talk about how she wasn't liked and now she but now they they've of course flipped the script and now everyone's supposed to love her and but there are there's some things that still get called out and and the game here is just to make you think that they're reasonable and they're not it's hey give them eight out of ten eight out of ten things are going to be propagating it's going to be our messaging one is going to be to make them think the home I didn't I didn't see that coming maybe they're more reasonable and then the other is going to be something just out you know just something else to trip you up a little bit to the point where you're pretty sure they're against you but you can't be certain and that's that's the beauty of how they play things but ABC actually called out cam cam this week for using Trump's border wall she's she's really gone all in on just using Trump's talking points and policies but using Trump's border wall in a campaign video take a listen to this but if you take a look at that ad one thing that I found striking is if you look and I think we have the the images here there are at least three points in that ad that show the border wall Donald Trump's border wall is it now the position of the democrats that they favored the border wall that's a great question yes Jonathan Carl I mean how many times are they going to do this whether it's imagery like that showing the border wall saying we're going to fix the border fix immigration saying we're going to fix the economy give people the job saying pick your poison all the talking points right now are essentially Trump's talking points with the exception of abortion and a couple other things but I would just caution you again Jonathan Carl is not all of a sudden on your team he's he's not on your team he's making a point that should be made as a journalist like is this really what she's about no it's not she needs massive bigger numbers we've hit records we need more records bigger records of illegal immigrants coming in so we can change our lower and middle class we can disrupt the economy we can demoralize people and usher in communism but but you hear those comments and we've heard Jake Tapper say things lately we've heard i don't know lots of lots of jimma jimma costa said a couple things lately we're like are you smart no no sorry no you're not you're a an awful person with a punchable face but you hear these things and it makes you think that way and you just got to remember you guys are smart you're a smart audience whether you're watching listening whatever it's just a game it's all just a game you're just we're all just in this game we're just NPCs in this game that happens to suck and it gets confusing sometimes when Mark Zuckerberg is saying he's sorry and it's going to do things better and it gets confusing sometimes when the media says i feel like the Harris walls campaign is lying and they're using trump's talking points naturally that that gets confusing and you're like oh they're finally coming around no they're not they still hate you they still hate you and i don't like saying that i really don't i wish i didn't have to but it's true but it's true that's just where we are well also too they should tell everybody all they need to know about how the mainstream media what they think about about uh kamala Harris is the fact that throughout ever since obama well you go back to the clinton's not so much the bushes but for some people the bushes but mainly the obamas for the mainstream media it was all about access to the obamas about getting in the inner circle being invited to the parties being the ones who got the phone calls that would be able to break stories being the ones that got invited to be a fly on the wall when susan rice would have her her meetings with with her minions and breastfeeder child in front of everybody they wanted to be the ones in that inner sanctum they wanted access nobody wants access to carmelo they can't stand her all those stories that we've heard about the the turnover of her staff she's a very hateable person in disliked 92 yeah by the inner sanctum of the democrat party so now what we're seeing are the the media in no way is is shifting sides on this because they just view like a lot of other democrats they view the president is just being a figurehead and the real the real power base are in these star chambers that make up all these different policies and tell the puppet whoever is the president to go out there and say this is what we're doing and and push that agenda forward right but the whole access game and seeing the medius turn on carmelo into the fact that they don't want to be around her tells you a lot about her absolutely it does it says it speaks volumes it speaks absolute volumes well she says she wants to fix the border she doesn't if by saying fix the border you mean open it up more but all these things are focus group they're seeing they democrats always are always running focus groups whether it's words whether it's policies and they know that the border and the economy and the two things that are resonating with people and so they have to figure out somehow to tap into that to make their voters feel like oh well she is going to do something see i told you carmela was going to do something she's going to come to the rescue and shut down the border it's like what is it what has been going on for the last four years yeah and even further than that what's been going on for the last 18 20 30 40 years you know it wasn't until dark cheetah arrived on the scene and says i'm gonna build the wall there's like now this isn't human you can't do that we're gonna block you at every turn yeah you're right and i still just love it when you say dr. cheetah um well let's talk about illegal immigrants for a second let's say you know what let's let's talk about your old state because yeah there's a headline here from our in a fall and then elan must comments on it we can pop it up here on the screen so i'll read first what it's what it says california to consider a hundred and fifty thousand dollar home loan for illegal immigrants california is close to approving a measure that would make legal immigrants eligible for up to a hundred and fifty thousand dollars in state supported home loans for a down payment on a home elan says california also passed a bill providing free medical care to illegals that took effect in january this year seems like half the earth should move to california given all the incentives to do so yeah absolutely but how discouraging and again you got to remember i we i say how discouraging is this rhetorically speaking their game is to demoralize the population they're doing a great job if you're going to do something do it well and golf clap democrats you're doing a great job of making everyone think about the worst and consider what are we even doing here but we've got people struggling and typically when we talk about you know stupid policy issues that are going on in this country it's we shouldn't be and and and these are true still we shouldn't be sending billions upon billions to you cream to fester a war that is not our war in the first place and could lead to world war and to nuclear apocalypse shouldn't be doing that we've got bigger issues here and we typically we typically talk about issues that we have to to to fix on a broader national level that have more a higher impact areas but then we'll also get into some issues which are equally as true why are we spending money here when we have homeless veterans true why are we spending money here when we've got roads and bridges that are not up to snuff true but it goes beyond that with this with bite inflation and and soon we'll be ho inflation with cam cam we we're all struggling everyone is this close some of you less close to another some of you more close than others everyone is this close to disaster and and then you see these moves and it is such a swift kick to the nuts like not like a kick to the nuts where it hurts and then it's gone like 10 15 minutes later like you're coughing up blood swift kick to the nuts when you see them saying hey we're not going to do anything for you and your family drew tom christa you guys are on your own but we're going to give these people free health care free tuition we're going to let them drive even though they're not citizens we're going to let them apply to be law enforcement citizens even though they're not citizens and force our laws even though we don't actually enforce our laws or do anything and if they want we'll give them a hundred and fifty thousand dollars for a house hell you know what we'll do we'll work with some of these people we're going to build little towns and villages little neighborhoods that are just for people like them and it'll feel like Mogadishu because it is but we don't care and we're left we're left out to drive these types of moves are so insulting the ukraine war funding is one thing funding 87 000 new iris agents which is absolutely absurd is another thing you can pick anything you want but when they prioritize non-americans in america who shouldn't be in america over americans it's the ultimate slap in the face period oh yeah absolutely well you're giving somebody a hundred and fifty thousand dollars in the state of california in los angeles the last average that i saw for a price of a home was nine hundred thousand dollars so if you're going to give if you're giving out a hundred and fifty grand so let's just say that's you know ten percent for the cost of a home you go up to what one point five million dollars bear with me here if you're buying a one point five million dollar home and you're making sixty thousand dollars a year how long is going to be before you default on that loan it's going to be almost instantaneous and then what's going to happen after that guess who's going to come in and buy that land black rock state street vanguard so you're going to have neighborhoods all over california they're being bought up by by these companies and then what are they going to do with that property they're not going to resell it they're going to rent it because at the end of the day the idea is for all of us to be renters it's playing right into this project of by twenty thirty you all own nothing and be happy this is all part of it it's a it's the same thing that's going on in lahina right now when they burned everybody out and you've got the same same players coming in offering money for property and developing it into something that either they're going to sell it to their rich buddies or they're going to have rental properties for people who can afford it right stay in that little fifteen-minute city that's exactly what's going to go on here with all these loans that get defaulted on yeah yeah that's that's the end game it is the end game and we've heard about it for a long time and and for a look if we were i don't know three five years ago certainly beyond that but even in the last several years excuse me i would understand people questioning that and saying that is ridiculous there's no way no way happen but look at it now look at it now and look at everything else that's happening i i say that i was in that camp i was in that camp i the the metamorphosis that has happened with dripperquist over the last several years i used to fight for this country loved every bit of it i used to think this think that do this do that like a lot of you and then the the change that's happened is you see things that are right in front of you i i'm so busy i've got four kids i'm taking my youngest honor to dinner here in a little bit it's gonna be great gonna go get a stake it's gonna be delightful i don't have time to be like the uber researcher or analyst but you don't have to with the stuff in this day and age you don't have to you you just need to kind of look right there because there it is oh yeah they hate me what about over here yep nope still hate me what about this crazy thought and theory where they were gonna go with me for a second make sure that we own nothing and be happy about it what about this where they're going to put us in these types of installations and situations and 15 minutes at whatever what pick pick whatever you want to put in there that sounded ridiculous years ago today it sounds like yeah i'd give it a few weeks like it's coming and it's so wild that we're there and i hate it man i hate it it was 2018 when we first started talking about this because the first time i heard about it was our friend dr michael rectenwald was talking about post-modernist theory when we when he had your other show and to me at the time i was like whoa this is kind of heady but i understand what he's saying but it's just so impossible to digest and he was absolutely correct in the theory about being the death of civilize western civilization by a thousand cuts think about what's been going on just in the last four years and it's just like every day something is coming at you from a different direction and it's all a part of the post-modernist theory instead of crumbling a house with a big wrecking ball you just loosen the foundation you keep loosening the foundation loosen loosen loosen loosen until eventually the foundation of the house collapses and that's what we've been seeing it's just been on steroids the last four years but before that in 2018 i thought it was just a theory that that it would never happen and then from 2018 to 2019 it was like oh michael is on to something right yep yeah 100 absolutely on to something then it started making more sense and i started digging into myself and i was like well this isn't good and we got a little bit of a reprieve you know during during the the trump years but then after that once the election took place it's just been steroids it's like all of a sudden well our goal doesn't seem like it's going to be met so now instead of just a little bit of of you know hgh or something we're going full-on Hulk Hogan Kevin Nash steroids from the 1990 WWF era yeah and jamming it right into your hip your foreheads get a slope down you're gonna have zits all over your back but you're gonna be gigantic that's the kind of trajectory that we're on right now yeah super encouraging happy Tuesday everyone i should have thrown Kevin Nash under that bus i don't know Kevin Nash is is a liberal i didn't know i don't know if he was into steroids back then but i'm sure he was i think everyone i think everyone was let's be honest and and and there's not even judgment not even judgment back in the day if you were we've talked Van Halen earlier if you're in 80s 90s rocker by all means do all the illicit drugs you can find and drink drink a ton i don't actually feel this way to be clear but that's that's what they did wrestlers in the 80s in the 90s you do steroids that's what you do but they were the pioneers they made blood doping better and better as the decades went on so now we're to the point where world-class athletes have dialed it back and just using enough that it's not illegal and everything you know their performances are getting so much better so if it wasn't for the 80s wrestlers we wouldn't be seeing these fast times that we're seeing now we wouldn't we we wouldn't uh what we got time for one more story and then i got to take my youngest to go celebrate her birthday she's eight years old today and she's gonna get a hell of a meal let's tell you that much uh you got to tell her this this joke it's one of my favorite dad jokes ever and since she's eight years old it's apropos okay what did the zero say to the eight nice belt okay i'll open with that i'll open with that that'll be my icebreaker for the evening okay so rfk sits there's been a lot look i'm not a homer for anyone i'm just not i you guys know that by now i like a lot of people i think tucker does some amazing work i spent the whole morning i told you earlier today listening to that to that let me just get the name right because i want to i want to tell you if where the hell did it go now i can't find it Rachel is it Rachel Rachel Casey Diane you're just saying names yes okay uh i sent it so you know what hold on i sent it to krista so i can look there i can be smart i can i can rise above it is check out the interview with kasey means kasey and cali means check that out i spent two and a half hours listening to that and it was like i said enlightening and terrifying reaffirming all of those things but he sat down with rfk in light of all that's happened he's he's talked with him i believe before but rfk in this there's obviously a lot of things that they touched on rfk in this particular part of the conversation is talking about what what his thoughts on the possibility of being a ci director and how he would do it but also on why it would never happen take listen we'll discuss so the ci i mean a lot of roads lead back unfortunately to our most powerful intelligence agency if you were asked would you run it would you become ci director if you were asked i would never get um yes i would but i would never get senate confirmation as you know the the intelligence agency are protected by uh by very very powerful committees in the senate and in the house that are already into the project and the people who serve on those committees are are are people who wouldn't uh you know they would not they would they're they're safeguarding that directorship and i would be very very dangerous for those uh those committees so i don't think that on and yet in his um you know in your joint appearance on friday president trump introduced you by saying that he plans to if elected establish a commission to be declassified the remaining documents right in your uncle's murder in 1963 yeah and i and i think everyone at this point knows the truth which is the ci is implicated in that those documents protect ci maybe among others well whether they do or not i mean it's odd that they've not allowed them to be released because this is what could possibly be the x more than sixty years after my uncle's death almost sixty five years oh sixty two years after his death and there's none of the people who were implicating implicated in that crime are alive now yes the last ones have died off the last a year or two and so it clearly is and uh to protect the institution yes and that's wrong it is wrong and it is wrong for a democrat and it's wrong for republic it's just interesting though that a bipartisan list of presidents low these these six decades have kept those files classified well you and i have both i was astonished that trump uh didn't declassify because he promised it during the campaign that was mike pompeo who did that yeah and that and that i talked to president trump for the first time about that this week and what he said he said that um he said that mike pompeo begged him to uh and i don't think i'm telling tales out of school here no i think it's all the same thing to you that's true but he said mike pompeo called him and said this wouldn't be a catastrophe to release age you need to not do it and then you know i want to say again i think mike pompeo is a criminal so that's my view he's threatened to sue me for saying that but i hope he will because it's true um but that that kind of tells the whole story right there right that the cia is oh yes why would the cia be trying to keep these files classified if they had nothing to do with the murder i don't really get that yeah all right so i will remind you of so this before i do i did pretty much only one year at headquarters at cia the rest of the time i got to do cool shit overseas and i had the best career ever and i loved it and i love the people i worked with but when i was home oddly working on latin american issues that year even though i was kind of terrorism guy but i was home doing that because nothing makes sense of the agency um i got to take part in this study about declassification of the jfk stuff and it was the lamest thing ever i'm sitting with these old people who are brought in to review stuff ask people who had obviously nothing to do with it there there there i don't even remember some of the questions i just remember being the dumbest thing ever you got no information it was like we're i'm one of the most i have one of the highest classifications and we're talking about this massive thing and you're telling me nothing and then asking different people on the panel to review stuff i just remember like everything in the government like this is the what are we doing here like we're not accomplishing anything right you're not showing us anything you're not like we can't actually give you any feedback on anything because you're not showing us enough to to the whole thing was was so dumb but um all that to say i hadn't thought about it's obvious it shows how you get excited about the possible oh my gosh that would be so ironic and cool if rfk was the director of ci yes and then you think about but will we have the power to get him through the nomination process no very unlikely if we look if we do i still think we don't i i still think if we do have a slight advantage i still think he doesn't get through because think about it if lindsey graham takes a break from grinder and shows up to vote he's not voting for him okay his boyfriends aren't voting for him there there's so many people who aren't like it so he's absolutely right the odds of him getting confirmed but here's where it's cool that would be awesome as i said yesterday and we talked about yesterday i think the benefit would be putting him in some sort of health rule where we can go after big food and big pharma make actual substantive change it's going to take a long time but start substantive change to bring about some sort of impact on the food side that's you know impacting americans but then he still can and in theory would be a part of this committee on these assassination attempts particular jfk is uncle and he doesn't have to be approved to be in that he doesn't have to get senate approval to be on that committee like like he would as the agency director so i think there's some workarounds where there still could be some some really interesting twists and turns with it i think so too but as far as i'm concerned that the ci the uh assassination of jfk jfk was a combination of alan dullis the mafia and massard and it was perpetrated by the the the the people who fired the fatal shots were the three trip the uh three tramps on the grassy knoll or by the rail yard that was near the grassy knoll because it's a dark spot inside there they were taking the custody and released and one of them looks like charles harrelson woody harrelson's father who was a contract assassin who when he was taken in the custody later in life under uh for a warrant for the either the attempted murder or the murder of a federal judge he admitted to swat team members supposedly while i was doing cocaine i don't think he was he admitted to killing kennedy so whether that's true or not who knows but it all seems to line up and also another thing we don't know we don't know the whereabouts of george herbert walker bush on the day the kennedy was assassinated okay well i mean i do i went totally all over stoned on you you did you did we went we went hardcore there uh Ottawa james is senate's likely to go red i hope so but i still think it has to go significantly red for us to make because meaningful change means you can count on you know getting uh to me i think we've got to be fifty three fifty four to have a it's still have a decent shot of getting things through which would make it what you'd think oh if you've got that much of a lead of course you're going to get things through but think of who some of these people are and how they're bought and paid for i'm not comfortable i'm not comfortable with a fifty fifty split in a tie-breaking vote i'm not comfortable with a fifty one forty nine split i i start to get comfortable at fifty two but still not great you get and here's the other thing if you're competing in anything i want dominance i want the other side curled up you in the fetal position i want to blow out i want sixty five thirty five bitches let's go let's set our record right it's not going to happen but that's what i want i i want to know i want to know every weekend that michigan's gonna be playing their second stringers in the second half i want the Vikings to win their first super bowl that's not how it works it never has but all that say i i even if we win i'm not comfortable unless it's a substantial leadover there because i just don't trust any of those people i i think the vast majority of politicians should have a pineapple rams so far up their ass every day at lunchtime that i mean literally there's less than five who i don't think should endure that on a daily basis right and i think we kind of we we lost our i in the ball we got rid of duels and tartan feathering duels i mean come on now that was amazing but uh it also you know it's not just having the majorities in the house and senate and the presidency because we saw what happened when we gave the republicans the house the senate look back to 2016 it hasn't been that long right exactly and we see how how our wishes were treated for 2017 yeah but yeah by by all the rhinos that that were in those positions but even moreover it's not just that it's the federal bureaucracies and one of the one of the master strokes that the little canyon fella did was bring in all the communists and drop them and all these different bureaus to run them and then cultivated the this whole society that this whole way of doing things that that this culture of communism within these bureaucracies so the only way to reverse some of that is you just got to weed all those people out you got a f you have to have mass firings and then put in people like we talked about yesterday with the bar being so low you just have to like the country yeah that's it that's it that's the starting point we can work with anything beyond that hundred percent um no i i i couldn't agree more tom can you do me a favor can you push back in your chair and can you just can you just stand up and then yeah yeah see the suspenders in the back chaos girl is asking to see it all we just had to it's it's amazing it's amazing and they'll see it in 90 seconds but but man um no i i agree we had fun today it's not all the happiest stuff we're talking about as usual but we had fun and that's what's important right that's what's important we're uh looking forward to being back tomorrow three p.m. eastern will be right back here for all of you new folks we're so glad that you're here please hit that like button whether you're new old or or here you know and it's been a while
