It is so bad that my cameras froze and I haven't even started yet. All right, let's get that swapped out and be professionals around here. Welcome to the show. This is where we talk about the politics and the circus and the conspiracies and all the fun stuff. I am joined as always by the great David Casey. Dave, how are you doing? - I'm doing good, man. I thought we had a regular old pendulette in here throwing his voice. Some libertarian music magicians up in here. - If only. - If only we still had libertarian magicians. I think that would go a longer way than the libertarian unity thing if we had, you know, more magicians on our side. - If we get one. - If we get one. One libertarian magician, bring him up. - One good magician would be great. Yeah, we are gonna talk about a lot of libertarian stuff and a lot of not libertarian, just political shit today, but before we get to all of that and we're gonna get to it as quick as possible 'cause I know that our guest today is on a very tight schedule. So, let's real quick. Thank you all in the Downers Club. People like John Winshaw are a Bob C. There's a lot of different drugs for robots. Up in Jacob Smagia's John and Beaver Hout.

And you will help us keep getting bigger and better and more beautiful. And I will love you forever or until you cancel your subscription. Now, let's number that. All right, Dave, down to the wire. It's the last day before the apocalypse. I've heard from all sides that no matter what happens tomorrow, if Donald Trump wins, it is the end of our democracy as we know it. If Kamala Harris wins, it is also the end of our democracy as we know it. So I have to assume that this is the end, Dave. Do you have any final thoughts before we bring our guest in to give her a share? Yeah, I've been thinking about it and I've decided that if you vote, you don't have to vote, but if you vote and you vote for someone who isn't Donald Trump, you're a big fat loser. You're just a big fat loser. I have nothing in common with you. I don't want to be your neighbor or your friend and I don't want to keep up the parents' leg I do. So we're just not the same. (upbeat music) And I lost us. With that, let's go ahead and bring on our guest. The chair of the Libertarian Party, Ms. Angela. (audience applauding) Angela, you're still alive. How are you doing? Oh, yes. Despite all, despite many people's best efforts, you are still with us and you are still holding strong. I'm alive. And I appear to have frozen, but other than that, I am good. It's one of those days. It's a frozen day. Yeah, I don't know how to unfreeze myself. We'll try. Yeah, if you need to jump out and jump back in, feel free too. Let's see, let's see. If you want to just leave the current party that you're in, go test the waters in another one, come back in in a second and let me float around. All right, let's give it a try. This is the end of democracy. Well, we tried. Guys, she has left to join a Republican podcast we can only assume because this very, very libertarian one was not sufficient. Dave, what do you have to say about Angela McCartill's appearance on our show for 30 seconds? Fleeing. I don't trust her. I don't know about you. We did not get to the hard questions. There she is. She came back. And I just failed right before the hard questions. We'll see how many times that happens. I just for everyone else who's screaming. I, let me, there's many of you. I did just upgrade my Wi-Fi yesterday. Just in time. Just in time for freezing. Yes, the result. Well, we all know who's in charge of, never mind. It's Obama. Obama is in charge of that type of electronics and things. Now, before we get too deep, there's obviously the most important story of the entire week. There's been a lot of heat on the internet. There's been a lot of pushback against this very important-- I think-- is it Obama or is it the CIA? I don't hear Dan at all. Yeah, I don't hear you either, bud. Well, shit. Maybe I should unmute myself and stop being a dave about it. So I was trying to say that the most important thing is that a squirrel died and also a raccoon. And I just wanted to bring this up because it is strangely and oddly. I mean, RIP peanut and all that and Fred, lest we forget. But is this a literal squirrel distraction right before the election or should we feel worse? And more importantly, Angela, how is your new friend Donald Trump going to stop this from happening again in the future? You know, I hope that he uses the power of the government to protect pet squirrels. He seems to realize that this is a problem. So he's speaking out against it. So that's the first thing. You have to shame and ridicule your enemies, shame them into compliance. It sucks. I followed that squirrel on Instagram. Yeah. You mean you follow them on only fans, right? Yeah, not only squirrels. Yeah, I am not on only squirrels. That made me feel really crappy. That squirrel's death made me feel like that. That elicited like a rage response at me, quite honestly, like a rage response. Oh, the squirrel that I've been following on Instagram for a while, the government, like not only did they kill him, but they humiliated the family and the process. Yeah, pretty horrifying. Yeah. My inner Rahm Emanuel came out when this happened. I was like, all right, this is very sad, but we cannot let a crisis go to waste. This is going to be very big with the ladies who do not want to see animals hurt, and who are not on not libertarian yet. This was killed doser. This was killed doser energy for me. I think for women across the country, this was killed doser energy. All the Karens will look back and when they're asked what radicalized them, it was peanut the whole time. It was peanut under a Kathy Hoachl governorship. You know, it's weaponized the Karens. We can bring them around. You don't see that happening in Texas in Oklahoma and Florida. Yeah, it's true. Now, more importantly, well, maybe not more importantly, less importantly, Angela, this whole libertarian unity thing. You've been getting a lot of heat. You've been pushing against the grain and some might say the will of the people. They would scream on the internet that you have subverted the party. And this was the plan the whole time. I don't even know where to begin. I'm sure your last few weeks have been absolute madness, but feel free, take it away. Yeah, I mean, so first of all, I have to be careful with what I say because there are two psycho people who are suing me right now. So I will reiterate that I have endorsed Chase Oliver as the best way to pull votes from Kamala Harris. That is not changed. But the reality is that I am super excited and welcoming and gracious to have libertarians in positions to work with President Trump if and when he is reelected. And we need to praise people when they do a good job. That is something that I think we are really bad at as libertarians and the fact that he's got Elon Musk on his team saying they're gonna cut $2 trillion in spending, that they're gonna massively deregulate. That is the key to pulling us out of an economic slump when you worry that the cuts to spending, like people who are very skeptical about it. Oh, how are you gonna cut that? You might need congressional approval. You can't do this, you can't do that. Massive deregulation is what will help with economic growth and make groceries affordable and improve the lives of millions of people in the United States and abroad as well. So I'm very excited to be a part of that. It is libertarianism, it is a sound economic theory. It is a good thing. We should be excited about that. There are people who are very angry about it. They're like, you shouldn't have had dinner with him, you shouldn't talk to him, you shouldn't help them. That's complete amateur hour garbage. Once you get elected as a libertarian, what do you have to do? You have to go and work with people who are not libertarians. This is real world politics. All of the larping, all of the people who just care about it, being a social club, of course, they're very upset. But people who see that we can actually make advancements, get our name and our principles and our party out there, they're excited and they understand it. - Yeah. Yeah, and going against the social club dynamic, has this made you more or less popular with libertarians at large? - I think in the social club, they're probably gonna burn me an effigy tomorrow. - Yeah, I was wondering, like if they were literally going to burn you at the stake. - Yeah. - It would not surprise me. The way people seem to be so, I don't know, just terrified of relevance. Like, I saw all the screeching about, well, yeah, he talked to, or she talked to Donald Trump, but nothing's gonna come of it and Ron Paul. Yeah, Ron Paul talked to Elon Musk, but nothing's gonna come of it. It's like, well, okay, well, then I guess it's better that they don't, like, I would rather them talk to us and lie and not do some of the things than them completely ignore our existence and us have complete irrelevance, but. - Yeah, I mean, maybe we should just all lay down in the street and die. And we should just wait for a car to hit us. - For liberty, that's what we'll bring it all up to. - Yeah, I think we should just lay down and die. It's time, our time is here, you know, mass suicide-pack. - Self-emulating for liberty, yes. - Yes, that is the 100% of the vibe I get. It's a paralysis analysis, and I'm being generous when I say that. It's extreme pacifism too. Like, you're completely unable to move because you're like, well, if I do this, you know, they could spend like another five tax dollars, so therefore I can't, but if I touch this person, then I'll get the status germs. - Okay, you know, bye, grown-ups are talking. That's kind of how I feel about it at this point. - Absolutely. Now, have you had like, I know you've had a lot of pushback, but have you had a lot of support in these decisions as well? Like bringing Trump to a convention and leading up to-- - Absolutely. A lot of people who are bonafide serious libertarians who have left the party because they were just fed up with the nonsense have said this is incredible. You know, thank you so much. Ross Ulbrick supporters are super excited. People think, oh, he won't follow through on that. That's just something he said, well, how do you know? How do you know? - And also nobody else is even saying it. So, okay, step one, start saying it. Like, we got him saying it. - Step one starts saying it. I mean, he's got all of Ross's clemency papers. Like, this is a ton of work that happened behind the scenes. It's not like I just like told someone who told him there's this is like actual work that's been done. But, you know, people who are allergic to work, they wouldn't understand what that is. The starving activist types, it's incredible though. - Yeah. - Yeah. People are excited. You know, don't believe the internal larper hate. There are a lot of real world libertarians who are ecstatic about all of this. - Absolutely. So, what did, where did this all start? 'Cause, I mean, I don't think we've had you on since the convention and all that. How did you finally get, you know, your foot in the door with Trump, how did that begin? And leading up to this dinner and everything. What was kind of the process? - Sure. So, someone adjacent to the campaign reached out to me. No! - No! - Right at the time. (laughing) We turn the camera off and on. How do we do this? Do I have to leave it and come back? Can you turn me off and on? I'm not sure that I have that ability. - E-cam, you suck. - It does. - Libertarian Illuminati, my ass. - Hold on, I'll be back. I'll be back. - All right. Well. Here we are. We'll make it happen. (upbeat music) ♪ And you're learning Trump ♪ ♪ Chilling in my lagu ♪ ♪ Eating hamburgers ♪ ♪ And you're all mad to Donald ♪ ♪ In a dimlet room ♪ - Sorry, we got hold music now, that's fine. - We got work to zoom. - Shout out to Zoom and OBS, which has never done that to me. Shout out to Zoom and OBS. - E-cam works great for setting it up. Just the running and functioning that becomes a problem sometimes. - Savagery, all right. So, someone adjacent to the campaign reached out to me back in November, which was rather startling. And so, I took a call and eventually was invited to come to Mar-a-Lago. Rick Grinnell had a meeting with me in person prior to that. He came out and saw me and he's been a huge advocate for Ross Olberg. Absolutely. He's likely to be the next secretary of state or have some similar cabinet position. So yeah, Donald Trump called me. We had a 45-minute phone conversation. He knew all about me. It's very, very surreal and interesting. He was a very warm and grandfatherly person. Of course, he sold me on how great he was. They should nominate him. Don't worry about being a spoiler, X, Y, and Z. And I was like, well, President Trump, I'm the chair of another political party. I'm not gonna be able to come out and outright endorse you and do X, Y, and Z, but I can help you appeal to libertarians if you want. I can share with you things-- - I can help you suck less if you would like. - I can share with you things that libertarians want to hear libertarian policy issues we're really passionate about. And so if you want to win our votes, I can show you how to do that. So pause there. I'm sure that a lot of people are freaking out and screaming and those same people, I'm sure if you search their social media, they'll say that that's the idea, is to push the Overton window to make the two major parties become more libertarian, adopt our talking points and our policies and excellencies. So oomph, box checked right away, right away, right away. So I went down to Mar-a-Lago. And it's been alleged that I had a luxury trip to Mar-a-Lago, which is not true. We did not stay in a luxury place and to pay for it myself in December. And it's not like I'm literally broken starving, but it kinda took a sting to take a little financial hit to take a last minute trip to Mar-a-Lago during holiday season because everything is very expensive at that time. So this meeting was almost a year ago. This wasn't a recent thing. Yeah, no, this was not a recent thing. Gotcha. I was wondering if it was from a while back and you were just sharing it now and people, I assumed that it was probably old, but if it was now, even better, but either way, people were pissed off at it, no matter when it was, so. I've been sitting on this one for a while. Yeah, what is it that makes you think that you can just go have dinner with somebody who's not a member of the Libertarian Party? I'm being sued over dinner right now. I'm being sued over dinner. So we went and had dinner and I had to, you know, just like really one ask. Who paid for this, Angela? Who paid for this? Who? I did not pay for my dinner. So, you know, I don't know who picked up the tab, but the dinner was free. I had to pay for the plane ticket, which is what adults do, by the way. This is like news flash. Not everybody gets their plane tickets paid with like GoFundMe and e-bagging, you know. Some people pay for their own plane tickets, like adults. So that's what I did there, you know, not that I have an e-bag for plane tickets before, but not this one. So, yeah, we had dinner. Austin was with me as well. So was baby Arthur, who also got mentioned in one of the lawsuits. It's got to be the most disgusting thing that's ever happened to me is to have some freak show mentioned my child in her lawsuit, you know. You would lose, you probably lose a all understanding of what it's like to have a child after you have three abortions though. Whoo! You gotta be able to pew in. All right. Speak it in hypotheticals, I assume. (coughing) Hypotheticals. Genuine cough though. - Well placed, I mean. (laughing) - It kind of hurt coming out. - Times Lord will work some serious ways. - Oh, jeez. Now, while you're, the main question, obviously, on everybody's mind, if you sat down to dinner with Trump and we see there that there's a bottle of ketchup on the table, are we to assume that that was for the steak? - Yes, it was. - Okay, got it. - It was. - We've solved that mystery for the internet. Thank you, everyone. - Yeah, interesting thing. So, you know, he was a little bit late 'cause he'd been in court testifying. It was around that time. And he came into the room and, you know, everybody stood up to greet him. And he just came in and gave everybody a hug and was like, I'm sorry, I'm late. I'm sorry, I'm late. It was like not, you could say he definitely has a commanding presence, but it is not a stuck up. Everybody's stand at attention kind of vibe. - Yeah. - It was just immediately like friendly, warm, and apologetic. And our food came out 'cause he had told people like, order ahead of time, like, don't wait on me. I'm holding you up. I'm so sorry. And so our food came out like, you know, just a couple of minutes after he walked in the room. And he saw mine and he was like, oh my gosh, send that back. That's not cooked. (laughs) And someone was like, no, no, President Trump, President Trump, it's okay. She ordered it that way. And he was like, oh, I'm sorry. You look healthier than I do. That's fine. And so yeah, he did order his well done and he had ketchup. He was also very friendly and warm to his wait staff, which I think is a very good sign. They were not scared of him. - Yeah, that's cool. I like my billionaires to have just a touch of white trash, little glass. - Just a little bit, just a little bit. Yeah, I would love to see like some, hypothetically some billionaire who's gonna, you know, work at McDonald's for a joke or, you know, get in a garbage truck and then wear a truck uniform as a joke. I like that. - It's so cool. It's so, it's just- - It's smart. - Campaigning and- - It's good propaganda right there. - And no shade against the people who were already running the campaign because I think they're very fine people and I have a good relationship with them. But the campaign stuff that they have done at the end where they brought a third person on to help is just, it's incredible. This is a masterclass in campaigning and outreach. You know, no one should be- - I just wanna come out in the squirrel costume. That would just seal the deal for everybody. It's over. - Yeah. - Karen vote sealed right there. - Yeah. - No one should be at home gnashing their teeth. Like we all need to be taking notes on this and like you have to try to duplicate. Like good luck, you know, accomplishing it, but let's all try. Like this is the goal. You gotta match this energy. It's just, it's amazing. It's a masterclass. - Yeah. So in the dinner, I know this is kind of like old news for you, but it's new news for the rest of us. - Sure. - I would assume that everybody knew at some point you spoke with Donald Trump since he came to our convention. So that shouldn't be that big of a surprise. But in the discussion, I mean, I assume Rossell, Brick, War, was there any topics of discussion or any responses from him that were, you know, outside the norm or surprising? - Oh, absolutely. I mean, I think the most surprising thing is that he was basically very receptive to everything we had to say. - Yeah. - That was, well, we didn't know what to expect, right? You know, we started talking about Ross Ulbrick and at first he's like, oh, you know, like, who's that? Tell me more. You know, he's like, well, why do the libertarians care so much about this one person? You know, and we explained, you know, about the Bitcoin community and what Silk Road really represented and moving away from the Federal Reserve and financial independence and how it was, you know, the feds really just crushing us under heel and trying to make an example out of him and saying like, you will always be dollar dependent. Don't you dare think that you can get off? And what a sweet person he was and he had, you know, he didn't hurt anyone. He literally just built a website. It's no different than any other website where, you know, like Facebook, good grief, there's all kinds of like, you know, insert acronym, you know, stuff happening on, yeah, exactly on Facebook. And then he kind of was like, wait a minute, I think I signed papers for him and that Attorney General is such a horrible man. He slow walked it so that it wasn't done, but I believe I've signed clemency papers for him at the last minute and that horrible, horrible man made sure that it didn't happen. So he did remember, we had to jog his memory a little bit, but he did remember him. You know, and we talked about Lynn, his mother and just the whole thing. - Oh, no, you're frozen. - I'm gonna kill, I'm gonna... - Do you think, Angela, you know that I'm... - She's a quarter of years, she's gone, Dave. - I didn't have a question. - Yeah, save it, I'm sure she'll be right back, but yeah, it's, I totally lost my train of thought too. Thank you, he came. Angela is back, here we go, wait, wait, wait. I have another one, I just got to sneak it in here somewhere. ♪ Angela McCardle, hear the battle cry ♪ ♪ Trumped in a saddle, hide and hide ♪ ♪ Free and lost, the mission ain't divide ♪ ♪ Libertarians, human, watch 'em roll the dice ♪ - All right, anyway, you were saying? - Yeah, he was really receptive. He was really receptive to us talking about Ross Olberg. He was like, "Oh, that's easy, that's done." You know what else he said? He said, "I love partnering people." - Yeah. - He said, "I love freeing people." So that was a really nice, like, warm response. - For libertarians to be like, "Well, he's definitely not gonna do it," because he definitely knew about it before, and didn't do it. It's like he knew about a lot of people before, and I'm sure he had a lot of pardons presented to him. Ross Olberg is not on his radar, like the martyr that he is for libertarians, so yeah, he probably saw it and forgot about it. - Yeah, and he's repeated it multiple times. You know, on social media, on true social, on Twitter, Don Jr. has mentioned it. He's mentioned it at the Bitcoin Conference. I've arranged some meetings, you know, behind the scenes as well, and, you know, not everybody wants their names mentioned right now. There's some sensitive things with the Biden DOJ. But there's been a lot of movement on, just as just recently as a week ago, people have been meeting to discuss this. And so it's no surprise that lawbirds are skeptical of it, because they've never accomplished anything politically in their lives. So, you know, it's like they're very closed off. And that is one thing that I've talked about before, is like the low self-esteem in the libertarian party. We have a crisis of low self-esteem. Like you have to actually believe things are possible if you ever want to accomplish anything. Because otherwise, you're operating in the wrong framework. You're operating within the frame of failure. You're probably not targeting right. You're not messaging right. Like you're not talking to the right people. So yeah, Ross Ulbrich, we talked, I also made the ask for Julian Assange, and that was a maybe, which I think is really optimistic. And Rick Grinnell advocated for both of them as well, by the way, he was there, so major props to Rick. And I know that libertarians either don't know about him, or they're very skeptical of him. Keep in mind that these are all GOP people. They are not libertarians. And when they do the right thing, you need to praise them and say, that's awesome. Do it again, do it again. Like you have to nudge these people in the right direction. So anyway, major props to him. Yeah, we talked, Austin talked with him about fentanyl. We're kind of pushing back on that death penalty for drug dealers thing. We were like, you know, and Austin explained it really well. He was like, fentanyl is tiny. It's actually really hard to find when people smuggle it. It's like a really easy drug to smuggle. So you might want to like try to work on other ways to combat that, like decriminalizing cannabis, you know, or maybe what about if you move it from a class one to a class two? He was very receptive to that, you know. Oh no, pragmatic and criminalism. It's so much better than just locking people up, you know, and having the DEA go after growers and things of that nature. So we had really good conversations, a lot about the economy, a lot about peace. You know, he mentioned, he's like, I stop World War III. We didn't like, something happened where we ended up. Yeah, something happened where we ended up not going down that rabbit hole. I really wanted to know more, but it was a really good conversation and they were not hard selling me on joining the GOP or doing anything like that. Like they genuinely were like, well, we want libertarian votes. How do we do it? And I was like, this is how I'll do all these things. Absolutely. Dave, you were gonna say something there at one point. Yeah, I was just kind of curious. I mean, I'm obviously made my, I know who I'm voting for. I know why it's a, I've made the deal. But I'm curious if I'll steal man the argument. Like he seems like one of the things he's not great on is the drug trade and what he wants to do to drug dealers who he's not terribly specific about. And I know that Ross is not a drug dealer, but that's kind of the stigma that's been thrown at him was that that ever come up like, oh, well, he allowed all these people to deal drugs on the internet. So that's not something I'm down with. Yeah, it did, you know, but we just really talked through it. You know, we talked about all of the implications for Bitcoin and free trade and navigating that and also being, you know, like at the forefront of that. And it wasn't, it wasn't like a really a big deal, you know, he was just really open-minded. He was, he was talking about, you know, like asking, are there, are there health benefits to cannabis? You know, like does it help people with cancer? Melania's mother was dying of cancer at that time. He was like, he was raising concerns with her. He's like, how do we help her? You know, it's, you know, it was not, it was not this aggressive death penalty for drug dealers vibe. Yeah, good. It is funny that all the, you know, the left-leaning libertarians claim that this is kind of what they want. They just don't want it to be Trump. They say that they need to influence and we need to be on bigger media and have a bigger say in the other party generally. We need to, we need to pant, they don't say pander, but we need to be pragmatic about it and cater to them and their needs. You're doing not the same thing as that. You're not pandering. You're saying, here's what I want and now that my foot's in the door, I'm going to take the ball and run with it while they're on the sidelines screeching that it's supposed to be done their way because their way has worked so well so far. - That's, that's exactly correct, you know, reason magazine released another kind of hit piece today. They're not my biggest fans. The feeling is mutual, my friends. Although I will say there are some very fine people that reason magazine. There are some very fine people. - That'll be the poo. - But they're not sending their best either. The very fine people are hiding behind the scenes. So it's just, you know, like you can't please them. And at a certain point, people who don't want to be pleased, like it's such a toxic relationship. You can't be chasing after and trying to earn their approval 'cause they don't want to give it to you and they enjoy this dysfunction. It's like there's probably some book on attachment disorders that describes them and like they just belong in like therapy. You know, it's how much time should I expend on people who want to lose? - Right. Well, they don't want to lose. They want the Democrats to win, it seems like.

Would you like to see a magic trick? No, this is the wrong one. Shit. This is not timely at all. [LAUGHS] Hey, son. Hello, father. Would you like to see a magic trick? Oh, he's getting big. Mm-hmm. [SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING] You guys want to see a magic trick? [SCREAMING] [SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING] [GUNSHOT] [GUNSHOT] [SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING] Fight! Fight! Fight! [GUNSHOT] All right, we are back. Thank you all for joining us and Angela for-- Angela, all about the double. I guess it turned on the music just in time. But yeah, the boy and I made a new video yesterday. A little bit of fun there. Hi, Angela. Welcome back. Hello. Hi. Thank you. Dave, Dave, would you think of that latest propaganda piece? Good, man. Since the last one, which was-- I feel like your son aged, like, 10 years between-- Yeah, it's been one year since the last one. Yeah. That's great. Yep. Anyway, you guys are doing good work. We're not pushing any political points or anything. We were just reenacting a moment in history, a historic event that occurred. Now-- You're grooming your child. That's what you're doing. I know. I'm just waiting for it. I've already got my rebuttal ready to go. Now, anyway, go check that out. It's a much short sec on my son and I make silly little videos for funsies and vote however you want. I don't give a shit. But Ron Paul was in the news for the first time in a bit. No, he did not die. He did not have another stroke. But he did join-- well, some might say he joined forces with darkness because he's been schmoozing it up with Elon Musk, who is pushing for this. What's he calling it? The governmental-- what is it? I know the government is-- Department of government efficiency. Department of government efficiency. Yes, the Department of government efficiency. And of course, when this came out, when Elon Musk was palin' up with Ron Paul about making government efficient, the libertarians got angry and started shouting about how it's not going to work and nothing's ever going to happen in life. And we can never be happy no matter what we say. Do you have any thoughts on Ron Paul? Obviously wasting his time talking to somebody who's a liar who will never trust him, Angel? Well, I did pass an invitation along, so I'm excited to play a small little role in that. Yep. Yep. That's where we're at. Are you trying to subvert Ron Paul to become a Trump supporter? I'm trying to make the Trump campaign better. And then make it-- what's a good way to say more better or just keep better and rising the shit out of it. That's what I want to do. And it seems like it's working. Yeah. It seems like it's working. Yeah, Dave, do you have any thoughts on Ron Paul joining the Legion of Doom? Bro, all of the thoughts. And yeah, I have so many, man. For anybody who wasn't just throwing a fucking party when that meme came out, I have no tolerance for you. I don't want to be around you. I don't want to work with you. Yep. I only want to promote that. I only want to go, we did that. You see that? We did that. Yep. That's what I want to do. So when I see that, it makes me so excited. It reminds me, dude, how this is all-- how this is played out. Dude, Trump's-- when he started thinking about running for president and he approached those people at Cambridge Analytica or they approached him or whatever, you know what the probably one of the first things that they did was? They looked at the Ron Paul 2012 campaign and went, we need to capitalize on this. You literally can't win if you don't get these people. So you can try and just put them into oblivion, like the Neocons, and just ignore them. Or you can maybe try and pander to them, meet some of their demand-- whatever you want to call it, I really don't care. If Elon Musk really is the forces of darkness and he's just going to fucking mirror link me and make me get an electric car and all that shit, fine. In the meantime, tell me all the shit I want to hear. Give me all the liberty shit. Tell me that the extinctionists are the enemy. Tell me that we are the way. Tell me that a free market is the way to do it. And you know, until you try and put that ship there, then I'll just keep sharing your shit and telling you that we're winning and we're doing all the things. Yeah, if Republicans want to lie to me and say that they're going to be more libertarian rather than the Democrats lying to me and not saying that they're going to be more libertarian, it just doesn't seem like that hard of a choice to me. This man is 88 years old, he has devoted his life to shrinking the federal government. This is like the homecoming of his legacy. Yeah. He deserves this. He, if anybody deserves anything in the world, Ron Paul deserves this moment. This is our moment too. This is a huge signaling mechanism to the entire broader liberty movement. Like you're welcome here. We have heated your warnings finally. Finally, someone that matters is saying Ron Paul was right. We heard it, we hear you and we're going to do it. Like congratulations to Ron Paul. Like I'm so glad this happened in his lifetime. Absolutely. So what do you think of comments like this? Only until I get confirmation that he will be in the inner cabinet, will I consider this a win? For now, it's all talk, which is cheap. What do you think? What do you say to that? Ron Paul's 88 years old. They're not going to give him a cabinet position. Right. That doesn't make any sense. Right. This is stupid. So only if I get everything beyond belief, only if I get the most magnificent, amazing thing, will I be satisfied? Until then, any step toward that thing is bad. And I will not be happy. Yeah. Those people are basically communists because they're hardcore utopianists. Yeah. I got a little sad recently, but it was a necessary hard to swallow pill when Dave Smith said something along the lines of like, well, maybe the Ron Paul revolution can't be just reignited into like one centralized thing like it was 12 years ago. And obviously, that was the effort with the Mises caucus and things. But if this end result hasn't shown you, if you've been active in that process for the past 12 or 14, 16 years, if it hasn't shown you that everything you've done, this is better than having a centralized specific Ron Paul revolution. It means that the Ron Paul revolution is forever scattered out and it's just everywhere. You won't even notice it. You might not get credit for all those victories. Angela, Mike Heis, people like you. You might not get credit for all of them, but they are happening. They're happening. You're tired of winning. Like Trump said, I'm fucking tired of winning. I'm tired of all the winning. - Yeah. - It's happening, we are the meme right now. It's happening, the jazz hands. I'm just like, this is such a white pill moment. None of this would be possible if it hadn't been for the Mises caucus working to take over the Libertarian Party and putting me in the Chairman's role. This would not have been possible. So for those of you who are frustrated, you're upset with the chase all over campaign. You think it's failed? No, no, no, no, no. It took a slightly different route, but this is the pinnacle achievement. Like we are at the top. I am super, super excited about the Libertarian Party and Kudos props to Chase Oliver for playing the fall guy. Like he has done a phenomenal job of not taking votes from Donald Trump. We could not have asked for a better heel in this election. You know, I'm not mad. I'm not mad. I'm just like, you know what? This worked out perfectly. Good job. He is an essential part of this. Yeah, performance art, like Oscar award, outstanding. Absolutely. Got a couple of fake super chats. Chris Osas, fake super chat. Angela is the Libertarian MVP of 2024. If electing her was the only victory of the takeover, then it was not a failure as some have stated. Tim Miller says, fake super chat, three of my favorite people. Libertarians doing real great work will continue to have my support. - Not too much. - Thank you, Tim. Hannah, for scenes, his. Thanks, super chat. Yeah, sorry, Tim. Is Angela sure she doesn't want to run for a third term being sued, got to be more fun than it sounds? Is there no plan at all in nothing that could change your mind, Angela? I am not planning on seeking a third term because I want to have another baby and start homeschooling actively Arthur, who's going to be two in a month. And so I need to take a couple of years off to really focus on that and make sure that it's all your early childhood development, all that stuff. I really, I need to be able to focus and take care of them. So I'll be taking a short break from full-time work and I'll probably be doing some part-time advising here and there. We'll see who I'm advising, but I'll be doing it. - Absolutely. Now we do, I didn't bring him up. Y'all did, it wasn't me. And if we're going to talk about him, which we are, we got to roll it. - Chase, chase, chase, chase, chase, chase, chase, chase. Z-H-A-S-E-J-E-S. Nah. Chase. - That's right. Chase and cop where we talk about the two best libertarian candidates and definitely the two best candidates of the last election of our lifetime, because somebody has to, and if not us, then who? Now, we've brought them up a bit here, but there was a couple more things that I wanted to mention on Chase, if I can find them here first off, and most importantly, is this from Halloween. He posted and I quote, or no, he sent this to my email because I'm a fan, I'm a big fan. He said, "Here you go." (clears throat) Excuse me, fellow Libby lovers, this Halloween season we're facing a frightening reality. The two party system is filled with empty promises and tricks that leave many of us feeling trapped in a nightmare of limited choices, but together we can dare to escape this system and create a brighter future. No treats in the two party system, just tricks. For too long, we've been told to choose between the lesser of two evils while real voices and innovative ideas are left in the shadows. It's time to break free from this cycle and fight for a political landscape that truly represents all of us. This is where you come in. Your support is crucial in helping us overcome this. Dare to escape the nightmare. Join us in our mission to reshape, blah, blah, blah, blah, no tricks in the two party system, or no treats in the two party system, just tricks. Mm. (upbeat music) I just, I thought that was too good not to share and wanted to get you guys' opinions. I encourage people to donate 10 bucks, throw in 10 bucks. Be a good sport, throw in 10 bucks. Agreed. Disagree. There you go. (laughing) Debate of the century, throw in 10 bucks. Yeah, we can still be friends though. We can disagree and still be friends. Throw in 10 bucks. I just gotta do my job, you know? Yes, I know, I appreciate it. No one runs to mine unless there's anything else going on that like unless you need money for almost anything else, go ahead and throw in 10 bucks. Now, if you have money, you just donate 10 bucks. Sure, you can help them out. Donate unity, donate to this. That was the one where she's on camera plotting herself for making surgeries, trans surgeries available to prisoners at taxpayer funding. What's your take on that? As far as trans people getting surgery in prison, you know, ultimately, that's a question of the prison, the doctor and what they think is the best healthcare for the patient. Now, we have prisons for a reason. It's a separate people from society for violating the civil liberties and laws of our nation. I think far too many people are in prison that shouldn't be in there. I think the college is too expensive, but I do think if we are separating people from society for the purposes of violating civil liberties and laws, we do have to treat them with respect and give them the healthcare that a doctor would prescribe to them. And so the doctor. Well, whether you want to donate or not, if Chase has his way, you're donating to something, what do you guys think about trans surgeries in prison? You know, government, taxpayer funded surgeries for people in prison. That looked like one defeated floating head. (laughing) I mean, you know, not a fan, not a fan, not a fan. I think we can all, good libertarians can disagree in good faith. - Yes, listen, let me give you the appropriate low birth answer to that, Dan. Listen, when dealing with state property and state employees at a state facility, it's best to let the free market kind of just work. That's what you want to do. - Yeah. - Mm-hmm. - And what would the free market, what would the free market do? - Healthcare is a human right, okay? - I said it. (laughing) - There we go, there we go, there we go, there we go. - Now, that's enough of that. I did want to talk also about this NSA report. I don't know that much about it. I wonder if you can enlighten me, because I'm not a, you know, as a big brain person. - Yeah. - What's the deal? - Okay, so I filed FOIA requests with the CIA, the FBI, and the NSA. And I filed a number of requests on a number of different topics. One was their surveillance and data collection regarding the Libertarian National Committee Conventions from, what, 2014 to 2024? Conventions where a particular individual was in attendance, and/or got elected to something with a certain color of brightly colored hair. And also that covers the Sarwark terms as well. And they gave what's called a glomar response, which is where they said they can neither confirm nor deny. But if you were to scroll and see the second page, which I don't know if you have in this file. - I do, I do. Just the email message. - It says, you know, we can neither confirm nor deny it, but it's also important to note that, you know, we often surveil, you know, entities, organizations, whatever, situations that have to do with foreign military operations, foreign governments. Basically, they were a throw-in shade at us for our anti-war activities, which is fascinating. And it totally checks out since I won one of these like stupid Ukrainian kill lists. And so is Josh Smith, so is Tulsi Gabbard, Rand Paul. You know, there's a lot of people who are on these stupid kill lists. - What do you have to do to get in the club? - I think you just, yeah, you did, yeah, meme harder, meme harder. So is Nick Branna, all the rage against war machine activities is what got me on these stupid lists. So, you know, I'm not surprised that the CIA is surveilling us. And there was somebody at the convention too who had like an FBI wanted to think going on. So it's not someone I knew, but it was like a delegate or an alternate, actually. - So is there any, like, is there ongoing investigations that do, like how much-- - The FBI is. - Okay. - The FBI is doing an ongoing investigation. And I assume that the NSA is doing data collection for them. And so that's why they're saying they can either confirm or deny, now the FBI has been up front. They called, actually, our now suspended secretary months ago. And they were trying to get information and let us know that our Facebook page was basically compromised. Facebook wiped all of the login entries on our account and told us to contact the FBI. It was a whole drama. And so the parties attorney and I got on a call with the FBI and they basically were like, yeah, you know, watch out. You're compromised. There's a foreign hostile government that's been hacking your Facebook and that's all we can tell you and the investigations ongoing. - So what you're saying is-- - Why do they call her and say to you? - I mean, that's a really good question. You know, some people would say that it's because her phone number is all over the place. You know, but I can also tell you that, you know, my phone number is not impossible to find if you're in giant data collection center. - If you're the CIA or the FBI, hypothetically. - Yeah. Well, the Trump campaign was able to get my phone number and, you know, the CIA and FBI hate him. So I'm sure that if he could do it, yeah. So it was just, you know, interesting. - So you're saying that the FBI kind of cooperated, or they are kind of cooperating. So what you're telling us, what I'm hearing is that not only are we supposed to trust Donald Trump to do everything that he says he's going to do, and we're supposed to trust Elon Musk and RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard and all these evil people to do what they say they're gonna do. But now you want us to trust that the FBI is gonna do what they said they're gonna do. Wouldn't it be better for us to not ask and for them to not lie to us, Angela? - Well, wait, what did they say they were gonna do? - Didn't the FBI say that they were going to assist in investigating this? - Oh, yes, yes, they did. - Why would we trust them? Why wouldn't we believe that the FBI is liars, Angela? - They are definitely liars. And we don't know what exactly their assistant, we don't know what assistance is yet, you know, or what investigation means. Yeah, so that's a little concerning. I'm sure they're investigating the hell out of something. - Then my point being, if somebody wants to pay attention, even if they're not gonna end up doing it in the end, they weren't gonna do it if you didn't ask either. So yeah, go for it. Ask if there's one FBI agent that's, you know, decent and wants to cooperate, then it was worth a shot. Go ahead, Dave. - Yep. - And they might, the FBI, I don't know, Angela would know much better than I, but the FBI might have to cooperate in some forms, but the NSA, dude, there's laws on the books that specifically state if a new law comes on the books and doesn't state that this applies to the NSA, then it doesn't apply to the NSA. So they're 10 times the size of the FBI, CIA, and all that shit, we barely talk about them. But I'm not surprised that they're, you know, the most standoffish with us, just like go for yourself. - Yeah, and I'm frozen, but-- - The NSA, nice, nice, wow. - So yeah, basically NSA, the CIA has a ton of data collected, no, the State Department. The State Department has a ton of data collected on Ed Clark's presidential campaign, by the way. So don't think that they're not watching us. They are, they have been for many years and reason magazines, specifically on Brian Doherty and Nick Gillespie. I'll leave you with that while I rejoin. - Go for it. I noticed there was, oh, man, she left. Somebody posted, let you. - Yeah. ♪ Angel, I'm a cardinal ♪ ♪ Hear the battle cry ♪ ♪ Trapped in the saddle ♪ ♪ Fighting high ♪ ♪ Free and lost ♪ ♪ Domitinate defies ♪ ♪ Libertarians human ♪ - Thank you. - I'm back. - All right, what were you saying, Dave? - I don't know, I lost it in the beat. - It's all good. Angel, I know you gotta, you do gotta get going here pretty soon. There was one more thing I wanted to ask 'cause another thing that libertarians are screeching on the internet, which I do think is a fair question to ask. With all this new, very definitely real stuff about coming out about Donald Trump being tied to Jeffrey Epstein, and now we have tapes that just suddenly leaked in October right before, no, November, right before a presidential election. Should we be concerned or are we giving a rapist a pass? What is your take on rapist, definitely rapist Donald Trump? - Seems, seems highly sus that it would come out right now. October surprise was, especially considering there was another girl who had all those accusations against British royalty who during her recorded deposition said that nothing sketchy had ever happened with Donald Trump. - Yeah. - So, there you go. - Yeah, I don't trust anything that's coming out at this late in the game about an election, especially like, so you guys have had the Jeffrey Epstein files that you're not willing to release, but suddenly something got leaked like three days before an election that is, oh, who is the one person that we found? Who happens to be tied to it? Oh, it's the guy who's running for president against the people who are leaking this on Kamala Harris's pages. Yeah. - Yeah, this is the most unlikely thing. - For holding my, you know, judgment for a week or two until things settle down, then we'll decide. It'll be too late. - This is Roy Cohen's boy. He learned about sexual blackmail in the 80s. These people need to step it the fuck up. - Right. - Well, he is also Hitler. We're ending on Hitler and Epstein. These are the last two things. - I mean, advice to libertarians. Like if you're someone that gets pulled to be in the administration and some, you know, sexy foreign national approaches you or Stein or whatever, don't, do not engage. - Look like a pet and reassess, like-- - For the love of holding you on me. - Don't go out and don't do sketchy sex acts with people you don't know very well or people you do know very well. Like just please control yourself. - So much hotter than I am and keeps drowning me in rubles, but I think she likes me to Chinese spy. Like, you know, she wants to marry you. You can take her home, I guess, but one step at a time. Oh, one more fake super chat. Travis Bost says fake super chat. It warms my heart that our influencers and folks like Dana McAdams are keeping up their no holds barred criticism of Trump, thus their integrity while promoting these wins. We are also keeping up our, you know, our criticism of Donald Trump whenever we disagree with him. It just so happens that lately we agree with him more. Much thanks to Angela McArdle here. - Gotta keep up that influence, man. I'm all about the influence game. This is being a real influencer, you know, not just like shilling, I don't know, whatever on social media. - Absolutely. Angela, thank you so much for being here. I know that you've got a lot going on. Please tell everybody anything that you want, anything that you want to promote and wherever they can find you. - Thank you. We have elections tomorrow. Please donate for your libertarian candidates. Call them, tell them, thank you for running. Give them a boost. If they need last minute phone banking, please do that if you're watching this live. Please support the Libertarian Party. Do not go join the GOP. We lose all leverage if you go and do that. Please donate at LP.org. If you want to donate specifically to support the our defense against lawsuits and the weaponization of the justice system against us, including NSA, FBI, CIA, all that good stuff, you can go to LP.org/FoyaLawfair. - Perfect, awesome. Angela, thank you so much for being here. Dave, stay on, we'll wrap this up. Angela, you can head out, but thank you for your time and all your hard work and all of this because we want to have this, this cluster of crazy, beautiful timeline without you. So please keep up the great work and take care. - Thank you guys. - Very grateful, thank you. - Yep, see ya. All right, that was Angela McCartill. Let me switch all this over real quick. Dave, any thoughts? ♪ Angela McCartill ♪ Other than this fat beat. ♪ Trapped in the saddle, climbing high ♪ ♪ Free and lost, the mission name defies ♪ - So cringe, I love it. ♪ Watch them roll the dice ♪ ♪ Keep board warriors, make what they can't erase ♪ ♪ Justice heavy hitters, watch them rock the place ♪ ♪ Cards on the table, stakes can be replaced ♪ ♪ Liberation plotlines, enemies displaced ♪ ♪ Evil forces clash, pushing back the night ♪ ♪ McCartill and the down will fight the righteous fight ♪ ♪ Free and lost breaking chains shot in liberty life ♪ ♪ Libertarian tears, sipping freedom's bite ♪ - All right, I'll look at that. (laughing) - Dave, you got any thoughts on that evil, evil person? Angela McCartill? - Yeah, my closing thought on that dude is that like, it's funny that this mirrors, you know, libertarian thought that, you know, being that we cherish the rights of the individual, but well, my faith has been boiled down to pretty much individuals. Like, I just don't have faith in any institutions, any parties, any caucuses, but I do have faith in individual people. - Yeah. - Like you, and like Angela, and like Mike Heis and like the dissident team, and I can like name them, and I can literally, I go, you're good, you're good. So I'm down to like individual levels of faith, but it's getting smaller, but it's getting better too. - Yeah, I feel, I'm white-pilled going into election day. Well, yeah, do you think there's any chance of, I mean, we're over here just kind of like, my wife and I are just like, but what if, I mean, it would be the most gaslighting that they've ever gaslit us. As I've said many times on the show, if they got to this point where Kamala just looks worse and worse every day, and Donald Trump's suddenly looking better and better every day, like, we held out for a long time because he wasn't doing the stuff that he's doing now, but now he's ramping it up at the end, and she seems to be, I don't know, she went on SNL and was kind of meh from what I saw, and that's all scripted and she hasn't done a ton. I don't know, do you think there's any chance that they have the balls to say, actually it was Kamala Harris the whole time? - Yeah, no, I think that's one of the main reasons that they had to get Biden out and put somebody in who plausibly could win, and they're still gaslighting you going, oh, it's a super tight race all across America, super tight, no it's not, no, I don't think it is. I don't think it is, I think you're saying that so that you can prep people. - Yeah, I'm afraid to give my hopes up though because I didn't think there was any chance Biden would win, and I'm still not convinced that there was, but is there enough, I think there's less of a chance that Kamala could beat Trump than Biden could beat Trump because Biden had not a good track record, but he had the history that people knew, Kamala people didn't know. Now, for her to be going in and doing this poorly, it would be just amazing if they pulled it off, if they pulled off that win, that we definitely won't be able to question. I think it's more likely that Donald Trump wins and then everybody burns the country down because it's racist and sexist or something, but either way, it's gonna be fun and we'll cover it until we can't anymore. - Yeah, tomorrow's the day. Dave, tomorrow's the the day, D-day, V-day, whatever you wanna call it. Who you vote for, Dave? Who you casting your vote for? - Bro, I'm voting Republican straight down the ticket in this. - Not the flags. - Bro, yeah, just to quote your guy there, Joe Biden, this is the Delaware might be the shittiest state dude. I mean, just the most disgusting, corrupt, it's like the Cayman Islands of the United States tucked right in between, nestled in between, like right outside of Philly, a shithole, in between New York and D.C., couple of shitholes. You'll find this little place where the major Fortune 500 companies of the United States keep all their money and Joe Biden's from here, we're gonna put up a tranny for the House of Representatives, our gubernatorial candidate for the Republican party, who I shouldn't vote for, I should vote for nobody for that, is actually pro-choice. In Delaware, they're just like, "No, we're not even fucking around." Like, there's any kind of pro-life action here at all. So our Republican candidates will not even parrot that. So what a shithole state we live in here. So I'm just going in, both middle fingers up in the air, guns ablaze in Trump. - Are you really going straight Republican down the ticket, or are you joking? - No, other than the guy who's a, no, you know what, even though he's a pro-choice Republican, I'm still gonna vote for him because it's the same theory with the Trump stuff, right? - Sure. - The other side is just so unbelievably awful that it's, even though he's not really a pro-choice vote, yeah, he'll get my vote. - Yeah. - And there's no libertarians running here. If there were some libertarians running down ticket, I would do that, but, no. - I frankly have no idea who's running around here, 'cause I'm a bad at this local politics thing that we are also gung-ho about. No, I'll look up everybody and do as much digging as I can before I go into vote, but yeah. - That's usually what I do. I'll do some research on them and then do a lot of research that they have of the kids. - I do. I literally crunch at the end. I'm like, oh, you don't have a website? Okay, well, what are you doing? I can't find any info on you. All right, I'll vote for-- - You did not hire me to make a video for you? - Not voting for you. - Exactly. - You did not single one of the people on my ballot hired me to make video for them, so they're dead to me too. - Yeah, fuck y'all. - I'm voting D down the ticket. All D's, just a big bunch of D, big old bag of D's. - Bag of D's? - That's right. - Vote one. - No, I'm definitely voting for Trump at this point, but I also had a bunch of people that were like, well, I had one guy in particular who said that he went in to vote because I told him to, which I made a joke that was like, it was just the family guy smoke, like propaganda ad, and it just said vote. And he was like, well, if I vote, and I regret it, I blame you because this is the reason why I voted. And I was like, well, I convinced one person to get out to the polls. So Pokemon, go to the polls, and we will take this country. I don't know, I'm not gonna pretend. I don't know what's gonna happen. I'm a little concerned, but we're gonna rant more in the after party and talk about some things like very fine people from Obama and Kamala's endorsement of killing grandchildren and other fun, happy things to wrap up this, the season finale of our country. But as we go, I do wanna leave you with this Nicole Shanahan video because for all the videos that I made this cycle, this season, this one is the best made video that I have seen for any politician in a while. Dave, before we do that, where can people find you? You guys can find me on Twitter at Dave versus Goliath1, where I'm tearing it up and also at dissident media on Twitter. And you can find me @tsidpod on Twitter. Dan@tsidpod.com is the email. If you've got a lot of hate that you wanna get out of your system, I will happily send your hate straight to the recycling bin. Or if you, you know, want to follow the show on any platform, it's just the system is down, wherever the system's down's are sold. Now, go, vote your conscience, whatever it is. Vote your protest, vote your will as a human, and or stay home if you don't care, and then you don't get to bitch about it later. But this is Nicole Shanahan, so we'll leave you with this. See you guys on the other side. Bye. - What will we do with this moment? How will we be remembered? Look at the opportunities before us. - This election really isn't about the left versus the right. It's about we the people choosing our government and the choice between freedom versus tyranny. - Nobody has a chronic disease burden like we have. Why are we allowing this to happen to our children? Ultimately, the only thing that will save our country is if we choose to love our kids more than we hate each other. - What is going on here is deeper than politics. It is deeply spiritual. We are being called to rise above the hatred and the fear and the evil. - We need to remember above and beyond that we must love our neighbors, that we must treat other people as we hope to be treated. - You wanna be a rebel? You wanna be a hippie? You wanna stick it to the man? Show up on your college campus and try calling yourself a conservative. - America is gonna reach heights that it has never seen before. The future is gonna be amazing.
