Okay, like the old voiceover voice? Yeah, literally what I'm doing it from is Frosty the Snowman, the movie. Frosty. I don't know that I've ever seen it. But that's how it starts.

Let's start off with something kind of weird.
You know, it's kind of weird, Rob. And I guess, look, weird is weird is one of those terms that it's kind of in the eye of the beholder. Right. Like you might think something's really weird. Someone else thinks it's totally normal. Someone might think something's totally normal. And you're like, no, that's weird.
What I think is weird is the way every single person in corporate media says the exact same thing all the time about every single subject. I personally find that to be kind of weird. Let's go to this montage, which is going super viral. I know Elon Musk shared this, and I think Rogan shared it as well. So people have been talking about this, but it really is pretty amazing. Let's take a look at the clip.
Some of what he and his running mate are saying, well, it's just plain weird. These guys are just weird. That's where they are. As weird and creepy as J.D. Vance. Super weird idea from J.D. Vance. Yeah, it's not. I mean, it's quite weird. They're just plain weird. Just plain weird. Just plain weird. That stuff is weird. They come across weird and then they start being weird. Yeah, they're weird. Being a really weird. He's such a weirdo. Donald Trump and his weirdo running mate are weird.
deeply and profoundly weird they are weird these republicans just being weird it's just weird it's really weird republican weirdness goes even deeper he said a lot of things that are weird a weird style that he brings weird policies let's start with with the weird thing because it is a thing that's plain weird what was weird was talking about diet mountain dew who drinks diet mountain dew you ever seen the guy laugh
That seems very weird to me that an adult can go through six and a half years of being in the public eye. If he has laughed, it's at someone, not with someone. That is weird behavior. Weird and cultish. These are weird people on the other side. He kind of doubled down on his weird ideas. I think weird is probably generous. Simply weird. These guys are just plain weird. Vance as weird. You know, as the campaign said, weird. It really is just plain weird. J.D. Vance, plain weird. I mean, I don't know how else you could read it. Weird.
It is kind of weird. We're not afraid of weird people. The other side, they're just weird. Why are you being so weird? Vance has done something more extreme, more weird. No matter what kind of weird stuff they keep saying. Trump and Vance are just weird. In addition, it should be registered as an opposite. That's the weird part that's the most engaging. Whom he addressed as my beautiful Christians.
Which was super weird. Weird tech bro, J.D. Vance. He's a weird guy. J.D. Vance. Uneasy and sort of weird. Frankly, for lack of a better word, that he's weird. Casting remarks that aren't even funny. And he kind of shows that he can't really deliver a one-liner. So, Sam, weird is the word here in terms of initial impressions from Vance. Weird is the word. It sure is. All right.
So first of all, there's a lot actually to this. It's a kind of fascinating thing. Number one, I would just say that this is how the corporate media works.
And has always worked that there, you know, I've talked about many times the message discipline is always a huge part of their dominance. And, you know, historically, this would like they're still doing it. And I think it still works to some extent. Historically, it worked much more. And what happens is that.
If you, you know, when you hear it like that, even if you were somebody who watched a fair amount of news, if it's not put in a montage like that, it it's kind of difficult to pick out that everybody is using the exact same phraseology. You know what I mean? And and it does like have this like this is true, like.
you know, a kind of, even though it seems very shallow and simple, it is a deep understanding of like psychological warfare of, of propaganda that you just kind of say the same thing over and over again in a very subtle way until the viewer almost feels like they organically thought of it in their head. You know what I mean? Like you're like, Oh yeah, that guy is kind of weird. Like where did that even come from? It's just kind of been placed in my head. But what's fascinating now is that,
You have the internet. And so these montages come out and then it totally exposes that you're like, oh, you guys got marching orders.
Like it is not the like mathematically, the odds are impossible that every single one of these people within the same two day period all decided to use the exact same. Like, you know, like ivermectin, for example, is used for like if you look it up, Rob, like a few hundred different purposes across a few hundred different species. Yet everyone said horse dewormer.
like that's not the only use for of ivermectin yet everyone picked that one you know like it and and then you realize it's like oh yeah no the the orders are kind of given the talking points are assigned anyway as as many people have already picked up on part of what's so funny about the democrats jumping on weird which look i'm going to say something for the record here i do think jd vance is a little bit weird
There's something a little bit weird about that guy. But like you guys have decided to be the party of freaks. So you can't really use the word weird anymore. Like Joe Biden's got dudes in dresses in the white house, like several of them, you know, like you don't get to call other people weird. Like you, you can either say that like the opening to the Olympics was awesome. Or you can say JD Vance is weird.
But you can't, like, I'm sorry, I can't listen to a man breastfeeding his baby going, that guy's a little weird. Just too much for me. If we're celebrating diversity, isn't it against your entire culture to call someone out for being weird? That means that they're different. That should be highlighted. If anything, you guys should be celebrating how weird J.D. Vance is, who, by the way, is very weird. And I'm a little bit surprised by the pick because he's...
He's like strikingly, firstly, Kamala's weirder the way that she laughs. That's plenty weird. That's pretty weird. And, and, uh, but in this case, I think even on run your mouth, I call JD Vance weird. Like usually when you see these montages, it's something I don't agree with. Um, and obviously, as you said, this is an example where they, they found something and they're like, all right, let's keep repeating it so that everyone's aware of it. Um, this is one of the few instances where it's going to be sticky and it will stick because, uh,
Vance is a weirdo. Yeah. Yeah. Well, that's right. It might be someone. Although I will say the other aspect to it is that on the Internet, they are just getting destroyed because it's constantly like, oh, you think that's weird? Well, here's what you guys are.
You know what I mean? Like and then just like some picture of the weirdest woke shit that Democrats have been pushing. So that's where I think this actually might backfire. It will be effective on some people, I'm sure. All right, guys, let's take a moment and thank our sponsor for today's show, which is my patriot supply.

All right, let's get back into the show. You know, for people who know, like I... So I used to do a lot of shows on Fox News. I don't... I just...
I mean, a mix. There's a mix of several factors. So like when I like when I first got on TV, I was Kennedy. Kennedy was the first one. And Red Eye, when Tom Shalhoub was the host over there, like technically Tom Shalhoub booked me.
but Kennedy put me on TV first, like red. I was like booked me, but it was like three weeks out. And then I was like, Oh, I'm going to be on TV for the first time. And then like two days later, Kennedy like booked me on her show. And, uh,
And then I became like a regular on both of those shows. And then Greg Gutfeld had his show and he started using me. So I do those shows. And then, you know, then I started doing like random other shows on Fox News here or there. But for many years, that was like it. I became like a regular like I was on every week on Red Eye and every week on on Kennedy. And that was.
you know, then I got the contract at CNN and then I, I wasn't allowed to do Fox news anymore while I was getting checks from, from Turner. Um, and then when they didn't, for some reason they didn't resign my contract. Uh, and then, um, then I started going back there and anyway, red, I ended up getting canceled. Then, then they canceled Kennedy's show. I should go back and do Greg Gutfeld show again, but things just kind of changed to like, uh, you know, I don't live in the city anymore. And, um,
you know, Greg Gutfeld does have a huge audience, but it's just not, it's not kind of like what it used to be when I didn't have a following or any audience. And so it was like, oh yeah, you got to get on whenever you can. Whereas now it's just, you know, all the big shows are like doing Pierce Morgan or something like that is like way bigger than, than most things on cable news. Excuse me. Anyway, you know, I, I, I met, so like what it always used to be,
Almost always the format was that they have what their title will usually be a Democratic strategist or Republican strategist or something like that. But they got these people who just like do TV hits all day long. Like they work as a contributor for Fox News and you'll just see them. They'll be a guest on, you know.
On nine shows in a day, they'll come in and just do panels all day long. That was never me. I would just come on and do like a show. I was a contributor for for for SC Cup, but I was never at Fox. But so anyway, so I met if you ever watch the shows, Rob, I'm sure you've seen some of the panels that I've been on. It always just be like, OK, a Democrat giving their talking points and then a Republican giving their talking points and then me just like destroying them.
Because because and not because like I'm so great just because like they speak in talking points and I don't and I'd just be actually be talking, you know, like making a point. So there was this woman. I want to say her name was Julie. I can't remember. I can't remember her name. But anyway, she was a Democratic strategist. And I did a whole bunch of panels with her while she was there. And she would always just, you know, it was always talking points and talking.
And then she got one of her emails got leaked in one of the WikiLeaks dumps. And it was I believe it was her. She was emailing Donna Brazile, who at the time was the head of the DNC. And she was kind of like complaining that she wasn't moving up the ranks more. And she says in her thing, she goes, she was like, I'm out here on Fox News pushing all of our talking points. And and I remember it's like I saw her after.
that came out and I kind of like, I forget exactly how I brought it up, but I kind of brought it up, you know, like without being like aggressive about it. But, and, and she told me straight up that she goes every morning, every morning they get their email with like, this is the, this is the talking points, you know, it'll be. And that's what they're about. They're about message discipline, particularly the Democrats. I'm sure it's true with Republicans too. This was, this was the only like personal example where I confirmed it with somebody who was like,
You know, it's like I saw her email of what she was saying and then she was like, yeah. So every morning, you know, would be whatever it is, you know, whether it's, you know, something like the Republicans want to take away reproductive rights for women. That's what we're stressing today, you know. And so clearly this is what it is like. The email blast went out and it was like we were saying J.D. Vance is weird. That's what we're doing here.
And then you watch everybody just like in unison, all of them say the exact same thing. So if when you see examples like this, that's what it is. It's that they all get marching orders on what to say. And, you know, I've made this point a lot of times and in a lot of different capacities. And I really do think that.
For people like me and you, Rob, and I'd imagine for the people who listen to this show, like I think if you listen to this show, there's a... The only reason you would enjoy listening to this show is if at least in this way you were like me and Rob. And I just... It's like you can't stress enough how much...
Sometimes there are other people who seemingly on the surface are kind of doing the same thing we're doing. Right. Like they might be on a show and talking about politics, but it's like, no, they're playing a different game than you're playing. Like they're because he just like what's mind boggling to me is like, I just couldn't imagine.
Like ever, if I was going on a show over the years between, you know, cable news shows and podcasts, I've just done so many shows. Like this is what I do for a living. Just do shows, you know, and I just could never imagine going into one of them and somebody being like, here's what you're saying today. You know what I mean? I would love it.
You just hand me a piece of paper, just hit these lines and you're off the hook. You don't have to do any work. You don't have to think. You don't have to do anything. It would make your life slightly easier, Rob. But you know what I'm saying? The idea of just being like, could you imagine if I was ever just like, hey, Rob, we're going to talk about this economic forecast today. Here's your opinion on it. You know what I mean? You'd right away be like, wait, what?
But you tell me my opinion. That's not how that works. It's just like, it's just people are, I've talked about this too. It's true even with people like in the online debate world where sometimes it's like, oh, like you're not playing the same game. You're like doing something else. You're just, you're just trying to grow your audience or you're just, you know, you're just grifting or you're just whatever it is. It's like, you're not doing the same thing. And, and I think for most people,
I would think basically everybody who listens to this show knows what I mean and that you can kind of smell that out. Like, I know I we have a lot of people who listen to this show who don't agree with us on a lot of things. You know, I mean, I'm sure they agree with us on some things, but there's a lot of people who are like, oh, I have areas of disagreement. I think one of the reasons why people like us enjoy shows like this is because they know we're not playing that game.
We're a couple of guys who are like telling you how we feel and we mean it sincerely. And there's no other ulterior motive in it. But just so you know, like these guys in the corporate press, it's permeated by people who are doing that. And then you wonder almost in a way where it's like, wait a minute, how were you so worried about COVID yesterday, but your four massive protests today?
and you're like oh because they got a different email that's what happened that it's as simple as that and they will actually completely contradict the thing that they were passionately telling you they believed last week this week if the email changes that's what you're seeing here i agree with everything you just said in slight defense of uh jd vance uh
He does come off like a weirdo. And it's almost strange to me that the powers that be aren't better at like Obama was naturally and clearly charismatic. Or I think Ronald Reagan had a line where he said in this day and age, and that's already, you know, 30 years ago or whatever. I'm not good with math, nor do I know our history. 40 years ago, I think he said, I don't know how anyone could do this job if they weren't an actor.
So I think he has some line like that. So it's almost strange that they ever pick people that aren't smooth on television because that's clearly a part of the job. Well, clearly look at Trump. I mean, that was a huge, you know, like that was his background and that's huge. Yeah.
However, if you were to I mean, it won't happen. But if J.D. Vance was in a debate with Kamala Harris, I think he would destroy her. I think he's a sharp guy and there's a chance he, you know, he'll demolish whoever they put in a VP debate with him. He's clearly got some winning tricks up his sleeve that he wrote a winning book. So he understands media. I mean, that that's what buried Kamala.
that lady's career when she put out the... Or they leaked the early drafts where she thought it was... Oh, yeah, it was South Dakota, Kirstie Noem, yeah. She thought it was persuasive to talk about, you know, killing dogs, and clearly that wasn't. So he unders... And his book was so good, they even turned it into a Ron Howard Netflix film. By the way, I, like, my conspiracy spidey senses went off on that, and someone corrected me, so I should correct the record on this, where I was like...
You know, because Kristi Noem, say whatever you will about her. She was the only governor in the United States of America, the only one who never had lockdowns and never had a mask mandate. Like there just were no mandates in South Dakota. And she she I know she's bad on some other issues. And I don't know that much about her. And I'm sure she's bad on a lot of issues. But there was something about that.
where I was particularly during those years where I was like, well, she kind of gets a pass from me now because there's nothing more important. If you were a governor in 2020, 2021 and 22, there simply was nothing more important than that. You know, it's like, it's like the president when it comes to war, like you're the commander in chief, you actually just get to decide what the policy is or how the policy is implemented. And, and,
You know, if you care about, you know, this whole liberty thing that we're fans of, that was the most important thing affecting people's liberty. And so when this book came out, I was kind of like, oh, was this like almost like a hit job to get the one governor who didn't do lockdowns, you know, in trouble? Because like, you know, none of these people write their own books. You know, none of these stories are real stories. So you're like, oh, do they just put that in there? And she knew. But then someone did correct me on Twitter that she's reading the audio book.
So like you're not, he knew, she knew what they were saying that and she took it as her own. Like she said the words and you're like, yeah, shooting you. It turns out shooting your dog. Isn't what small town people are really into. Yeah. She was just trying to be one of the guys and tell you that she don't think because she's a lady, she can't make tough decisions. And it would, but what I'm, the point I was making, I think you're right about that. Yeah. It was a persuasive mistake that,
And so in this world, while J.D. Vance does not have the natural charisma of an Obama, he is a smart guy. He's new to the upper leagues of this. It's kind of like when a quarterback first steps into the NFL, sometimes it takes them a little bit to get their footing. So...
I mean, we can trash him for being weird. Thus far, he's come off as unsmooth and like a bit of a liability to the campaign because he just doesn't have that smoothness of TV stars. However, he did get there by writing a, you know, a book that was so good that it got turned into a movie. So I wouldn't count him out.
Have you read the book or seen the movie? No, I could care less about it. No, me neither. By the way, I don't know the preview for the Ron Howard movie. It's, it's almost funny to watch with the overacting in it and just like how Hollywood sappy it is. It's, it's, it's almost like, it almost feels like you're watching a trailer for the movie. And I couldn't have been more like, not for me. Yeah. It's not the type of movie I would want to watch. Um,
By the way, speaking of J.D. Vance, let's go to this clip, which I had commented on on Twitter. But this was going super viral. And I actually I thought it was kind of interesting. And, you know, it's a good conversation starter in a sense. But anyway, let's let's play this J.D. Vance clip, by the way, before you even play it, Brian. Pretty weird choice of outfit for someone running for vice president. Even a weird outfit just for a guy who's a senator. It's like, you know.
Maybe throw on a shirt and tie. I don't know. I'm not I'm not a suit and tie kind of guy myself, but I'm also not a senator who's running for president or vice president. So it's just kind of like I'm just saying if you're trying to combat the whole weird thing, wearing a T-shirt over another T-shirt, probably not the best thing to go on the Charlie Kirk show doing. But anyway, let's play the club.
I'll go back to something I said earlier about we need to reward the things that we think are good and punish the things that we think are bad. So you talk about tax policy. Let's tax the things that are bad and not tax the things that are good. If you're making $100,000, $400,000 a year, and you've got three kids, you should pay a different lower tax rate than if you're making the same amount of money and you don't have any kids. It's that simple.
I totally agree. J.D. Vance making the argument that essentially these are where the Republicans are at now, that we should use taxation for social engineering purposes, that we should we should tax the bad things and not tax the good things. Well, there's a look, there's a few different like points on this. Number one, even if OK, even if that were true.
if that were your, if that was your starting point, that's your philosophy, that that's the role of taxation is to kind of incentivize the behavior we want out of citizens and disincentivize the behavior we don't want. Well, I mean, it would logically follow from that. I'd imagine that you should be for abolishing the income tax because working is
Is good. I mean, unless you're going to argue that it's really, really bad that people have jobs. That's a bad thing that we got to put a stop to. Why would you want? You're saying don't you're saying tax the bad things, not the good things. Well, I'd suggest working is a good thing. And so, OK, so then join us in being for abolishing the income tax. But.
Aside from that, I would just I would say for anybody who is is like agrees with J.D. Vance there to like, please just consider the fact that, OK, a couple of things. Number one, you know, what's good and bad, much like we just said before, with what's weird is somewhat subjective.
There are now I understand. I'm sure there's lots of things that we could all agree on that are good. I would have thought working was one of those. But there's there's lots of things that obviously like there are certain behaviors and certain lifestyles that we could all probably agree like that is good.
broadly speaking in the category of bad. And this one over here is broadly in the category of good. You know, I'd like someone to be like an upstanding citizen who helps their community. I don't want someone to be like a heroin addict or something like that. But the problem is that there are also a lot of things that kind of fall into gray areas or even areas that are prone to just be misdiagnosed as bad. I mean, like for example, inheritance, right?
OK, like you could you could pretty clearly make an argument for why, like, oh, that guy, you know, someone inheriting a whole bunch of money didn't work for it. They didn't earn it. They don't really have a right to or something like that. Like you could see like any statist making this type of argument. And yet at the same time, I think if you really think about that, there's probably like no greater incentive.
for wealth creation than people wanting to pass it on to people they love. I'll say that is like 100% my motivation in making money is that I want to, you know, like I went, I want to support my family, but that I want to have something to leave them. That's like my motivation. And why the hell should anyone in DC, like if I work for something and I wish to give it to my children, why should anyone in DC have a right to say I can't?
You know, the fundamental flaw in J.D. Vance's logic here is that you almost and this is true with almost every single government policy, almost every one of it. It's almost like you just kind of they rely on you taking the vehicle for granted and not examining it at all.
So it just becomes like, hey, the outcome we want. And it's like, yeah, but what tool are you using to get to that outcome? You know what I mean? Like, it's like, for example, when they talk about like the people who want to defend, you know, this policy of fighting a proxy war in Ukraine against Russia, they'll always go like, well, what do you think? Russia should just be allowed to invade and nothing happens to them.
You know, as if this all exists like in a vacuum and you have some magical tool that can make Russia not invade or can fight Russia off. Whereas instead you're like, no, no, no, we're talking about Washington, D.C. and NATO. OK, that's the tool you're working with. Now let's examine them a little bit and what really motivates their policies. Because, you know, if you if you look at U.S. foreign policy, Rob, I'm not convinced it's motivated by humanitarian purposes.
I'm not sure that that's the major driving force in our decisions about war. Likewise, if you just remove, you're like someone like J.D. Vance, like Mr. Small Town America, like, you know, going to church and whatever, you know, he's talking about. It's like, well, so you imagine you looked at our society, Rob.
And I was to say to you, there's a group of people who I think get to decide what's good and what's bad. And you know what that group of people is, Rob? It's politicians in Washington, D.C. They're the most noble amongst us after all. So I trust them to be the arbiters of what is good and bad and what could possibly go wrong with that. You know, you give politicians in D.C. the ability to decide what's good and what's bad.
Buckle up because their values are probably not going to be the same as yours. All right, guys, let's take a moment and thank our sponsor for today's show, which is Moink. I love Moink. This is an incredible company. They deliver grass-fed and grass-finished beef, lamb, pastured pork.

All right, let's get back into the show. What's the childhood deduction on your taxes if you have a child? Because aren't there deductions for it? You know, I probably should know the answer to this.
Well, let's just I mean, and then you also get the benefit of if you choose to use public school, which I hope you don't. But if you choose to use public school and in some districts, it's not the worst education. That's at least a value of twelve to twenty thousand dollars a year. So between the childhood deduction, schooling and whatever other benefits you take from the government for your kids, it's not like it's not like there's nothing in the system for that already.
Yeah, no, no, that it doesn't change what you were saying or his broader point. But I like, no, it's in some to some degree, at least he's endorsing the current system. You know what I mean? Or the current system is endorsing his view. I mean, yeah, there's there's there's tax credits for children and stuff like that.
It seems so polar to his pitch, which was, hey, I was able to get out of the, you know, the system is working against working middle class or lower class America. And what we need is the system to change so that people have an opportunity. And it's actually the benefits that the state is giving to people that's getting in the way of them getting ahead, that the welfare system has been bad. Right.
So this is so the opposite where he's just pitching a different version of wealth redistribution of what we need to do is create tax. And it's like, no, just get rid of inflation and get rid of all these government policies that are holding people back and preventing them from wanting to have kids or live better lives. Yeah, I mean, look, the the answer here is just like just cut taxes for people, man.
Like, you don't have to sit here and, like, do this whole thing. Like, no, we're going to use the tax code to manipulate people to have the behavior we want them to have. I mean, like, I do. I really. Having kids is the best thing I've ever done. And I highly recommend it if you want to have kids. There are some people who probably shouldn't have kids. And, you know, that's.
You're going to probably know that about yourself better than other people are going to know that about you. And the truth is that even if it's somebody who doesn't have kids, what forget like, oh, let's say they pay a higher tax rate or something like that. It's like, OK, so instead of them spending that money or investing that money.
Either if they're spending the money, they're spending it on services that they value, meaning that somebody who is producing services that other people value is going to get more profit. And if they're investing it, they're investing it in something that they they deem to be something likely to to pay off and pay the money. That's what you get if people get to keep more of their money or you can send it to the criminals in D.C.
to hand out to political cronies. What's better for our society? Even the childless person. What's better for our society? It's very obvious what would be better is if they paid less money to Washington, D.C. And guess what? Here's the great thing about that policy of reducing taxes. It also helps the people who have kids. You also lower their tax bill. There's also something that doesn't add up in the logic because if people had more money,
They might actually feel like they can afford kids and go out and have kids. So if you're taxing them at a higher rate before they have kids and you're just not, then like you were saying, you might just start incentivizing shitty people to have kids, people that wouldn't have done so. And then people that might've, might've came to, Oh, I can actually afford this and I would rather live that lifestyle.
I'd rather actually, you know, they have the confidence to go out and maybe find a wife and actually live that lifestyle. They might not get there. So what he would need to do is basically start punishing, I don't know, people above the eight women over the age of 40 and men maybe above the age of 50 if they chose not to have children.
And then what are you going to do when they turn around to their retirement years just a couple years later, and now they're looking to the state for assistance for Medicaid and everything else that they don't have? So it just doesn't sound very well thought out because who exactly are you going to be incentivizing? If I'm a 30-year-old and I'm not making a lot of money and you're still taxing me at full rates, I might not envision a life where I can afford kids.
And I'm probably not sitting down to go, oh, but there's this tax benefit that will come my way. And maybe I actually could. It just seems doesn't doesn't seem very well thought out. No. Well, look, it's like because look like there's some logic to it. But then the thing is that.
If you really accept the idea that there, well, look, people respond to incentives. And so let's, you know, reward good behavior and punish bad behavior. It's like, OK, well, what actually prevents people from having a family? Let's say like people who should have a family and want to have a family but can't. It's like, well, maybe the fact that the price of everything is astronomical is
Maybe the maybe the fact that if somebody, you know, has a job where they make I don't know what the average salary in America is. I think it's somewhere between like 50 and 60 grand a year. But if somebody has the average makes the average salary that average.
Because of the price of housing and healthcare and education and all of these things that, that people really, you need like the things you'd need there. It, it becomes more and more out of your reach. And so, Hey,
Let's not have a policy of making everything so goddamn expensive. And oh, what does that? Well, printing money. That's what may. OK, so then come out against printing money. You know what I mean? Like it's like if you really want to go down this path, actually get it the hard, actually get at the root of it. And and there's a million things that the government does that look every inch of.
Even, you know, what you were talking about, it's like what social security totally undermined the whole preexisting structure of what people would do in their old age, which was rely on their family. The idea was always that you'd have little kids. You take care of them when they're young and they're helpless. And then when you get older and you're helpless, you have your kids who take care of you.
But now the government's coming in and doing that. So it's like at every inch that this existing system just has perverse incentives. And so like, if you want to be smart about this and actually do something that might actually make a difference,
then what you should be arguing for is a drastic reduction in spending, in taxation overall, a drastic reduction in regulations. You know what I mean? What does that do? What's the incentives of regulations? Is the incentives to start a business or not start a business? Have we decided? Is that a good thing?
JD Van started a business. Is it a good thing to start a business? Okay, so let's not disincentivize the good things, right? Isn't that your logic? I mean, essentially, this is just going to take you toward radical libertarianism if you follow the, you know, with any intelligence, if you follow this logical train of thought. Okay, let's switch topics here. Let's...
So we should talk about what's going on with Israel right now, because this is a very dangerous situation. Israel just bombed Beirut in Lebanon.
So there was a strike in the Golan Heights recently and a bunch of kids died. It was truly awful. Israel and the United States of America is claiming that Hezbollah was responsible for the attack. Hezbollah has denied that they are responsible for the attack. I don't know. I don't know that any of us know what the...
The truth is of that. It certainly is plausible that Hezbollah could have done it. But I guess we don't know for sure. But we do know that Israel, in response to that, has now started bombing Lebanon. This is one of the fears that...
You know, this is one of the fears that a lot of us have had since the war started, that there is this danger of this spreading and becoming a wider regional conflict. This is a major step toward that. To be clear, just for people who know, Hezbollah is, you know, they're.
They don't have the military strength of Israel, but you're talking about a much more formidable opponent than Hamas. I mean, Hezbollah is they they are the political faction that controls southern Lebanon. They're a legit faction.
military. I mean, they're not, you know, they started as kind of like militias. They basically started in the 80s when Israel invaded and occupied Lebanon and they were the resistance fighters. But they've become a legitimate military at this point. I think most experts put them around like a mid-sized military and they're not pushovers like they drove Israel out of Lebanon. And you know what I mean? Like they're and they're
at least it seems like they have some ability to touch Israel itself. If they are responsible for this strike, then they just proved that. And so Israel...
who's already having a lot of trouble with the current war that they're fighting, is now looking like they're spreading the war further. And of course, the U.S., as is with everything Israel does, is very implicated and very involved in this. And if you care about America, and that's your primary concern,
My God, like another just disastrous war in the Middle East. Isn't that really what we need right now, Rob? Certainly doesn't seem to be good escalations.
Yeah, that's for sure. All right, guys, let's take a moment and thank our sponsor for today's show, which is Monetary Metals, a phenomenal company.

Oh, by the way, and let me tell you, I know I was talking about this a little bit on the last episode, the live one we did down in Nashville, but it is like every time...
You even it's almost like the Democrats and the and the corporate media will push you closer and closer to just want to support Donald Trump. You know what I mean? Like, they're just all so awful. They deserve to lose so much that a certain point is almost like, ah, fuck it, man. Maybe I should just support Donald Trump. But then Donald Trump always comes in.
And you're like, oh, okay. Oh, yeah, that's right. Anyway, let's play this. Here's Donald Trump from, I think this was earlier today. Let's play the clip. Any Jewish person that voted for her or him or whoever it's going to be, I assume it's going to be her. Anybody that did that should have their head examined. If you love Israel...
Or if you're Jewish, because a lot of Jewish people do not like Israel, and they happen to be in New York. You know that. Yes. But if you are Jewish, regardless of Israel, if you're Jewish...
If you vote for a Democrat, you're a fool, an absolute fool. They have let Jewish people down since Obama at levels that nobody could believe possible. You know, 15 years ago, the strongest lobby in all of Washington was Israel. It was by far the strongest. Nobody would say anything bad about Israel today.
It's like nobody says anything good except Republicans, by the way. Nobody says anything good about it. So is a hell of a it's a hell of a change. I assume, you know, exactly what I'm saying. Oh, I know. Fifteen years ago, you couldn't say a bad thing. No, you'd be out of office. Yeah. And today it's almost like I mean, Schumer has become a Palestinian Schumer.
He's officially now a Palestinian. It's funny, but it's true. It's sad. He is. He is. And they tell me that this Harris' husband, Doug Emhoff, Mr. President, is Jewish. He's Jewish like Bernie Sanders is Jewish. Are you kidding me? He's a crappy Jew. He's a horrible Jew. Well, there you go.
Don't worry. We, you know, it's like, at least on Ukraine, like Donald Trump had some pretty good rhetoric. It's gotten worse, but he did have some really good rhetoric about like ending the war immediately. And he doesn't care. He just wants the dying to stop. He just wants to end it. And of course you sit there and you go, all right, he's saying the right thing, but who knows if he's actually going to do it once he gets in office. You know what I mean? But on, on this,
He's just telling you, I'm going to be terrible. That's the thing. Chuck Schumer is a Palestinian and the guy laughs. It's funny because it's true. No, it's fucking not. It's not true. And we're to sit here and pretend that the political party who's in power right now, who's funding Trump.
You know, what the ICJ calls a plausible genocide? I mean, whatever you want to call it. They're funding and arming Israel's current war. Those are all a bunch of Palestinians, Rob. Do you understand that? Those are all the pro-Palestinian guys.
Like how it is unbelievable that no matter what war hawks the Democrats are, the Republicans always circle back to this thing. Like we're supposed to pretend that they're like like these hippies in 1968 or something like that. Like, oh, yeah, if I get in there, we'll really support Israel. And by the way, you know, I mean, Trump's just like just such a fucking idiot. But like this idea that and all all Jewish people have to be on board with this.
Like if you're Jewish, then you have to be like, yes, go start a war with Lebanon. Why? Why would your religion like mean that you have to be on the side of them? I mean, it's just it really is crazy. It's the same logic as being like, well, then every black person should vote for Kamala Harris. Right. Because you're for the blacks. Right. So if you're Jewish, you got to support Trump because he's for Israel. God, it's just awful.
I thought he had a winning hand, and I'm surprised that Donald Trump didn't play it, which was throw Netanyahu under the bus. Say, I love the country of Israel. I love the Jewish people. But what Netanyahu did is disgusting. You can use Donald Trump language. He's endangered his entire country. If someone else was there and I was president, this never would have happened.
I know how to move forward and make sure that the Palestinians are not invading Israel, but are able to live better or what you can spin it however you want. But you've got an easy pathway out of this situation, which is to blame Netanyahu, which, by the way, politically, you should be strong enough to get away with. He was the guy who backed Joe Biden. We were saying that it wasn't a legitimate election.
So what exactly do the Israelis and Netanyahu have on everybody across the board that even not as president and just running and after Netanyahu had trashed Trump, he has got to invite him into his home and go, you've never eaten a meal like this. You're going to love what we have for you here. And then being on the news and, you know, he's lying a little bit with they got to get it over. He said, by the way, inhumane comment of Trump.
The Israelis have to wrap this up quickly because they're getting bad publicity. It's not a statement about the morality of what's happening or whether or not it's good foreign policy. It's solely a statement on, hey, the press on this is bad, so they better stop doing it. Yeah. And get it over quickly kind of implies like ramp it up. You know what I mean? Like really get in there and do it. Yeah.
Yeah, it's just I mean, it's just terrible. And for, you know, for for Donald Trump to be taking this line, it does as much as the Democrats deserve to lose this election so much. It does just it kills any like any energy that I had of being like, oh, maybe I'll just support this guy to be like, screw you.
He also he had another winning hand, even though it's not necessarily true. He could step up there and go. The problem is the US looks weak because of what's going on in Ukraine. And we look weak because of what what Obama and Biden did in dealing with Iran and giving funds to Iran. And this is all because of the power imbalance in the region because of the strategic mistakes we've made.
And because the weakness that we have, but once I'm in president, the United States is going to be so respected. People like the Palestinians won't do that, which at least wouldn't be an endorsement of Netanyahu in the current strategy. But instead, he's just signaling, hey, whatever check you guys need, you got my back. I'm the same as everybody else on this one. But even like it's just he just goes out of his way to demonstrate that like he doesn't get it at all.
It just doesn't get where it's like, it's like, you know, AIPAC is such a powerful lobby. 15 years ago, you couldn't even criticize Israel. Now people are criticizing Israel and you're like, wait, what? That's your, that's your America first. You're the America first guy. And your perspective is that a lobby lobbying on behalf of a foreign government once had so much control that you couldn't even criticize this foreign nation.
And that's what you want to go back to. By the way, it's the all the wars that you claim you were against all the wars that you say were such a bad mistake. The things you sat there and you were like, oh, remember, you told Jeb Bush that his brother lied us into the war in Iraq. Well, guess who supported that? Israel. They were one of the major forces. I mean, it's like, who do you think the neocons are? Do you know? Do you even know? I don't think he does.
You know, oh, Jeb Bush, your brother lied us into war. Well, who was your brother's administration? You know, who was Dick Cheney and Paul and Wolfowitz and Richard Pearl and David Wormser? Who were all these guys? Who were they working on behalf of? Whose team were they on? Oh, yeah. The people you're not allowed to criticize.
The Likud party. Okay. So like, it's just, again, he just doesn't know anything. It's so frustrating because he's like the one guy who's positioned to, to be the guy, you know, and he just doesn't know anything. And he's just too like,
he's too like stupid and lazy, man. So like, like he doesn't even want to know. He doesn't even want to like put in a little bit of the work to kind of figure it out. And again, Rob, like you said, you could even, even though this isn't completely fair or accurate, but you could isolate it to Netanyahu, you know, because Netanyahu is the longest serving prime minister in Israeli history. And he's been in there. He was in there first in 96. And, you know, he was out for a little and came back in, but he,
But he's the guy who was pushing for the war in Iraq. Like, you could play off that. And the fact that the guy, Benjamin Netanyahu, who was pushing for America to topple Saddam's regime in Iraq, was pushing for America to have a regime change in Iran, was pushing for America to have regime change in Libya, in Syria, in Iraq.
That guy also, when you were contesting the election, after you had done everything for him, bent over backward, you know, Abraham Accords, moving the embassy to Tel Aviv, excuse me, moving the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. You did everything. And while you were contesting the election, not after he lost the court cases,
Before any of the court cases, when he was contesting the election, it was either the day or two days after he came out and congratulated Obama. So here you have it. You have your hand. Like, as you said, your hand is perfectly given to you. Huh? He congratulated Biden.
I'm sorry. Yes, that's right. Came out and congratulated Biden while Trump was still contesting the election. You know, and so you could at least just throw that guy under the bus. By the way, that guy who is deeply unpopular in his own country and the war is deeply unpopular in the world. You know, like why not be on the popular side of this issue? And, you know, it's a mix of the fact that there's.
you know, it might be popular amongst the American people, but it ain't popular amongst the powerful. I'll tell you, I'll tell you one more lie he could, he could go with, which would probably be the best one is I'm here because I'm the America first person and we've got problems in this country and that's why I'm running. I got a border to fix. I've got it. Well, he's not, he should say the deficit, but he doesn't care about that. He could say inflation. He could say, I got inflation to fix. I've got a Ukraine Putin problem to fix.
And we're going to make sure that every just lie. We're going to make sure that everyone's safe over there. I do what you do. I know how to fix it. I'm going to get it solved. Everyone needs to be safe. What needs to what's happening over there is tragic. And I've got a better way to approach it. Even that's different than just giving a blanket endorsement and going, hey, deep state and Jewish people, whatever you need, we'll sign those. I'll sign those checks also.
And then this thing of like, you know, the kind of weaponizing identity stuff. I just hate so much to like, oh, you're not a real Jew. And if you're a Jew, you're you're a fool to not support this. Like, OK, well, I'm Jewish. And you saying this makes me never want to consider supporting you. So.
Take that for what it is. All right. Let's check in with the live chat over at part of the problem dot com. That's one of the cool things about signing up at part of the problem dot com. You get to be in the live chat. OK. And once more, porch tour dot com this weekend out in California. Three shows with Brian McWilliams. Come hang out. Oh, nice. Yeah. I forgot you're doing them with Brian. That's awesome. OK.
Eve says, hold on, let me just make that a little bigger here. IDF soldiers are being prosecuted for torture and sexually assaulting Palestinian prisoners, but we're going all in on their side. This is not a good look and will not age well. Yeah, did you see that, Rob? There were protests about the guy being prosecuted for raping
a Palestinian, it's pretty appalling. They're like, dude, look, it's hard to say this in any other way. And I don't even want to be unfair where, you know, I'm not saying there aren't any good people in Israel. There are. I'm not saying they're not like, you know, the reasonably by world standards, like fairly good to their own people. Um,
But the dynamic that you always come back to, and I've said this a bunch in almost every debate that I do, it just what it comes down to is just the only way you can really defend Israel is if you simply value Israeli life and don't value Arab life.
That's what it all comes down to. And look, you can see this the other day that when there was this strike that killed, like, what was it? It was like 11 or 12 kids got killed at a soccer game in, uh, in the Golan Heights, uh, there, Rob. And, uh,
I mean, look, like and rightfully so totally understandably, it's like all of the people who are supporting Israel are just like appalled. Like, look how horrible this is. You know, it's like, look at this. I mean, I can't tell you how many people, you know, got blown up on Twitter because, you know, I've been one of the more vocal people criticizing Israel. And they're like, oh, look at this, Dave.
Look at what you say. Oh, okay. So are you still pro Hamas and Hezbollah after this? Even though obviously I'm not pro either of those groups. Unlike them, I don't actually support the killing of kids.
But you just sit there and you're like, yeah, but look, isn't this the whole game? Without even realizing it, you're admitting the whole thing right now, right? Because you're sitting here and going like, look how appalling this is. Like my stomach is sick over this. And you're like, yeah, and you should be appalled. That is horrible and totally inexcusable.
But how are you going to sit here and say a dozen kids died in Israel? Isn't this an outrage? Well, you don't care at all that thousands and thousands and thousands of kids in Gaza have died over the last nine months. You know what I mean? Like, it's just it's right there. It's explained. And the truth is that not just in the Israeli government, but in Israel in general, there is like it's almost something.
akin to the the culture in the south in 1840 and the way they looked at black people like those people just don't deserve anything they're not even really people they have no rights period fuck them they get nothing that's kind of the attitude and you just
You can't have that. You can't support that. You can't have that attitude. It's just too evil. And I know Rob, like I know, you know, I know you've seen some of that stuff before where it's like, and look, I also do get that. It's like,
People get very hardened, especially when there's groups of people who have been fighting back and forth and killing back and forth for a long period of time. But there is an attitude amongst a lot of Israelis that it's just like, yep, got to show those people what's up. That's that. We dominate and they submit. And that's the way this is supposed to work. And that's the attitude you see on display is when you see a guy who clearly raped and
a Palestinian, and they're protesting the fact that he would get prosecuted for that. What else is that, dude? What else are we looking at here? Yeah, I think...
You don't get, I don't know, you don't get moral passes like that. You know, God did not take you in to conquer the current Arab population with pillars of smoke and with a clear directive and miracles. So I don't know why you guys think you get a moral pass. And that's what's so beautiful about being a libertarian with the non-aggression principle. You guys should be standing, stand for moral standards. That gives you the high ground. If you stand for moral standards, you get the high ground.
If you stand for, hey, we can do whatever we want to other people because we're us and they're them. Well, then, I mean, how is that philosophy any different than extremist terrorism from them when they kill civilians on the basis that they got a directive from whatever? However, they frame it religiously. Yeah, no, that's right. That's right. It's the exact same thing. And it's and it's just unacceptable all around. All right. Let's see what else we got going on.
in a live stream. Andy the ANCAP said Dave is a Palestinian. I don't know why that's making me laugh. Yeah, by the way, everything seems to be going off real well with this live stream. I apologize. I know we had a little bit of an issue with the last one, but overall for a new site launching, I think we've been doing pretty good. McFalcon,
Right. Google redirecting Trump's assassination to the Reagan attempt attempts. Tech is gross. You know, I OK, so I have not I don't know if you have I have not messed around with this at all myself. But I did see Elon Musk tweeted something about like what the shadiness Google's up to. Did you see any of this, Rob, where it's like if you search like assassination of T.
And then like, just let it pre-fill. It's like Reagan, Reagan doesn't start with a T like, why are we getting like, there are just things where like, if you, even if you like, uh, search Trump, like the first big news stories that come up are all like Kamala Harris, puff pieces and stuff like that. And it is, you know, it's, it's,
It's interesting that particularly when the cover story for all the tech censorship was like election interference, you know, like misinformation is, you know, interfering in our elections or whatever. And you just realize like the whole game here is like,
you know, putting your thumb on the scale, it is pretty crazy. Like how much power a company like Google has to just move the needle a little bit. And all they got to do is bury one thing. If you remember back in 2019, when Tulsi Gabbard was running for president. So Tulsi Gabbard after, after the first debate,
or it was after like a few debates. I think almost every one she was in, she was the most Googled person in America.
Like she like, so, cause you know, she was the only one saying anything interesting up there. So a lot of people are like, Hey, who the hell is that lady? Let's go check her out. And so after the first debate, she was the most Googled, uh, you know, candidate afterward. And then, so then after the second debate, they just took away the ad that redirects you to her website.
