1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,000
number eight 2020 and we have Paul.

2
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,000
What's that?

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,000
You caught me off guard. I wasn't sure if I was.

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:15,000
Paul.

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:16,000
Is that your cue?

6
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:17,000
I'm so sorry.

7
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:18,000
Can we do it again?

8
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:19,000
Paul.

9
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:20,000
Oh.

10
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:27,000
We'll have to show you that later.

11
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:28,000
No.

12
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:29,000
Oh, yeah.

13
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:30,000
No.

14
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,000
So what I'm hearing is you're down with the sickness.

15
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:33,000
Yes.

16
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,000
It's something down with something.

17
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,000
It's a horribly inappropriate video.

18
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,000
It sounds inappropriate.

19
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:40,000
You can't unsee it.

20
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,000
So I'm lobbying on your behalf to not be exposed to it.

21
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:44,000
Thank you.

22
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:45,000
Hey, you laughed extremely hard.

23
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,000
I did.

24
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,000
Multiple times.

25
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:48,000
You about blacked out.

26
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,000
We could not get you to stop laughing.

27
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,000
We were laughing at your laugh.

28
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,000
Have you ever heard him with his...

29
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,000
When he loses it, it's over.

30
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,000
It's funny as hell.

31
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,000
That was good.

32
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,000
Again, it was a heavy night of drinking.

33
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:00,000
Yeah.

34
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,000
Jeff and Senior Randy.

35
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:03,000
See?

36
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:04,000
Yeah.

37
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,000
All right.

38
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,000
Nice, very French sounding.

39
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,000
Oh.

40
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,000
Hello, my name is Randy.

41
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,000
Kind of like Speedy Gonzales is what that sounded like.

42
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,000
It's like a French mother, Mexican father.

43
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,000
It was a French mouse.

44
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,000
Hello, my name is Randy.

45
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,000
French again.

46
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,000
God.

47
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,000
Thank you for coming tonight, man.

48
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,000
You know, we're just going to have to start over.

49
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,000
Everything is getting dumped, right?

50
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:29,000
The first five minutes.

51
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,000
Okay, restarting the podcast in three, two, one.

52
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,000
Hi.

53
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:34,000
September 8th.

54
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,000
Are we rolling?

55
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,000
Are we rolling?

56
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,000
Okay, we're rolling.

57
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,000
We're rolling.

58
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,000
All right.

59
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,000
We are one minute in.

60
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,000
We dumped the whole thing.

61
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,000
It's such a silent movie.

62
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,000
It's a silent podcast.

63
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:44,000
I don't understand.

64
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,000
Oh, my gosh.

65
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,000
So did you guys have a good Labor Day weekend?

66
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,000
Yeah, I did.

67
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,000
Didn't do too much.

68
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:58,000
Enjoyed some good company with friends and family over the weekend.

69
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,000
Enjoyed some drinks, one or two.

70
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,000
Bottles?

71
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,000
Bottles, yes.

72
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,000
Of bourbon.

73
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,000
Outside of that, not too much.

74
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,000
It was a lazy because both my boys are offensive.

75
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,000
Actually, one of them came home.

76
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,000
But, you know, it's a little bit different now that everyone's in school, right?

77
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,000
You know, interesting you say that.

78
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:24,000
So now that they are gone, you've got all this extracurricular opportunities to do extracurricular stuff.

79
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,000
I call it nude time.

80
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,000
Is that what makes you happy?

81
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,000
Break it down to the naked.

82
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,000
Is that what makes you happy, walking around nude?

83
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,000
Walking around nude.

84
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,000
Is that a phrase?

85
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,000
It's a new song.

86
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,000
Break it down to the naked.

87
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,000
It's a Nancy Nester song.

88
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,000
I coined it ear to ear first.

89
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,000
What was it?

90
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,000
Break it down to the naked.

91
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,000
It's like SNL, right?

92
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,000
When Wook and Penub.

93
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,000
But we sing this.

94
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:57,000
There needs to be an empty Nester version.

95
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:05,000
I did have some extra time on Saturday and I actually went out and washed my truck.

96
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,000
Oh, wow.

97
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,000
Yeah, I was impressed.

98
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,000
Hand wash, yeah.

99
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:12,000
I didn't think I said it out loud.

100
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,000
I didn't, did I?

101
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,000
Yeah, you said you're a fool.

102
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,000
I said I'd just take it down the street and pay someone.

103
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,000
No, I did not say you're a fool.

104
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,000
I just said what I would do, which was not hand wash it.

105
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,000
I don't know, I'm a huge, I'm lazy.

106
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,000
I don't like the heat.

107
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,000
If it weren't a thousand degrees outside, I wouldn't have ever popped in.

108
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,000
It was that bad, you know?

109
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,000
Of course, this weekend was nice.

110
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,000
It wasn't that hot, was it?

111
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,000
Well, Saturday it was still in the 90s.

112
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:36,000
And it was humid.

113
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,000
But you're out there with water, right?

114
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,000
I mean, I was drenched.

115
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,000
You know, I had my flip flops on and I didn't care if I got wet.

116
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,000
It was nice and cool.

117
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,000
And it was just me out there.

118
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,000
Do you find it nostalgic?

119
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,000
I do when I wash a car by hand.

120
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,000
A little bit.

121
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,000
A little bit, I know.

122
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,000
Nostalgic?

123
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,000
Yeah, I mean, you just think back to being a kid.

124
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,000
I mean, your parents made you wash cars or whatever.

125
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,000
Yeah, they didn't have car washes.

126
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,000
I was just about to say there's a lot of things that people don't,

127
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,000
like seemingly don't do anymore.

128
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,000
They don't do their own yard work.

129
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,000
They don't wash their cars.

130
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,000
They don't do their own oil changes.

131
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:11,000
They don't, like, how much of that stuff is, like, truly going away?

132
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,000
Well, and I don't know about you guys, but once a year,

133
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:19,000
you pull the cars off the driveway into the grass under a tree to wax it.

134
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,000
Oh, God.

135
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,000
I never did that.

136
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,000
No, I never did that.

137
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,000
Yeah, I never did that.

138
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,000
My dad never made us wash anything.

139
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,000
I washed cars.

140
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,000
It was more playing the hose time than wash a car.

141
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,000
Good point.

142
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:35,000
I have washed a car, though, and I do, I would call it therapeutic more.

143
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:39,000
It's just because it makes me feel good driving around a nice, clean car.

144
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:40,000
It does.

145
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,000
It does.

146
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,000
I can't stand it.

147
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,000
I walk around with anxiety.

148
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:48,000
I drive around with anxiety because it's cluttered inside and it's just, you know,

149
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,000
and I've always, I'm kind of embarrassed.

150
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,000
Oh, my God.

151
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,000
Imagine if I had to pick somebody up.

152
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,000
I was mortified the day I had to have a coworker sit in my car.

153
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:54,000
I was like, geez.

154
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,000
Do you have a company car right now with your job?

155
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,000
I picked up a rental.

156
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,000
If I have to drive over two hours, I pick up a rental.

157
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,000
Oh, OK.

158
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,000
Nescovert, yeah.

159
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,000
And he leaves all the Nutter Butter crumbs in that one.

160
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,000
Everywhere.

161
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,000
Now, that's another thing with the well, whatever.

162
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,000
Yeah, that's a nice perk.

163
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,000
Oh, yeah.

164
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:19,000
It allows me to it allows me to shop for cars because eventually I will have to get a new

165
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,000
car.

166
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,000
And I've the car I'm currently driving.

167
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,000
I don't even know what that is.

168
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,000
It was a Tucson or something and wasn't real happy with it.

169
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,000
Well, what you rented today.

170
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,000
Yeah.

171
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,000
Yeah.

172
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,000
I don't even know what it is.

173
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,000
It's got a symbol, Xeon or.

174
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,000
Scion.

175
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,000
But Tucson was the name of it on the back.

176
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,000
It's a little SUV, right?

177
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,000
Yeah.

178
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,000
It's Hyundai, I think.

179
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,000
Hyundai, Tucson.

180
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,000
Yeah.

181
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,000
Hyundai.

182
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,000
Hyundai.

183
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,000
I don't know.

184
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,000
He called it a Tucson from, you know, on the back, it says Tucson.

185
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,000
You remember the old you guys?

186
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,000
Oh, yeah.

187
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,000
Remember those things?

188
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,000
Ugly.

189
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,000
Boxy.

190
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:58,000
Boxy car.

191
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,000
But you buy one for like two grand.

192
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,000
Yeah.

193
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,000
I mean, that was for the people.

194
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:03,000
You know, what the hell?

195
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,000
I mean, if you're living in a climate that's conducive to driving around

196
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,000
something like that, where you're not dependent on climatizing your car.

197
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:10,000
Yeah, you can.

198
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,000
Yeah, they had them up in Cincinnati and they would rust in about a year.

199
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,000
Yeah.

200
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,000
So I'm going to talk.

201
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,000
I had a Daihatsu charade.

202
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,000
Like a Sun tight.

203
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,000
What was that?

204
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,000
Yeah, exactly.

205
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,000
Have you guys even heard of that?

206
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,000
Daihatsu.

207
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,000
I heard of Daihatsu, not the charade.

208
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,000
Daihatsu charade.

209
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,000
I've heard of Datsun.

210
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,000
Was the name of the car.

211
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,000
And so it was a brand new car.

212
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:36,000
My parents bought me a brand new car and it was a three cylinder stick.

213
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,000
Why don't you pull that up, Mr. Producer, let's look at it.

214
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,000
Daihatsu charade, ugly as hell.

215
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,000
Three speed?

216
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,000
Three cylinders.

217
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,000
Five speed.

218
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,000
And it got.

219
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,000
Yeah, that's it.

220
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,000
Yeah, that's a turd.

221
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:54,000
And mine was.

222
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,000
I think they're cute.

223
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:56,000
No, they're not.

224
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,000
Mine was the gray one, bottom row to the right.

225
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,000
You know, it kind of reminds me of the old Chevette.

226
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,000
Oh my God, I had a 1985 Chevette, two door.

227
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,000
I used to tow all the chicks, I drove a Vette.

228
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:11,000
So you know in movies, the extras are the ugly, worthless people.

229
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,000
No offense because of the stars.

230
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:17,000
These are the extra cars in movies when there's car chases and something's got to blow up.

231
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,000
That's that car.

232
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,000
I've seen it a hundred times.

233
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,000
It may have been my car.

234
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,000
Yeah.

235
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:26,000
Yeah, I drove a 1980 Chevrolet Citation.

236
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,000
Pull that beast up.

237
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:35,000
It was a six cylinder manual and it was a piece of junk.

238
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:42,000
It was baby blue, real light blue, and the back paint had all flaked off and was starting to rust.

239
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,000
Perfect.

240
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,000
And the ceiling liner, roof liner had all fallen.

241
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,000
So this was your first car?

242
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,000
Yeah, because it was my parents' car.

243
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,000
And then when I turned 16, I got it, right?

244
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,000
And I was able to drive it.

245
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,000
So it really wasn't my car.

246
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,000
So it was the one I drove.

247
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,000
But that's the first car you drove?

248
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,000
Yes.

249
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,000
All right.

250
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,000
Chevrolet Citation.

251
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,000
What about you, Renday?

252
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,000
What was the first car you ever drove?

253
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,000
Ever drove or had of my own?

254
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,000
No, no.

255
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,000
That one right there, that second one.

256
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,000
That's it.

257
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,000
Oh, God.

258
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,000
That's right there.

259
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,000
Oh, man.

260
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,000
Yeah.

261
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:18,000
That's awesome.

262
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,000
It was terrible.

263
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,000
But, you know.

264
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,000
I don't know.

265
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,000
Tint the windows.

266
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,000
Tint up the wheels a little bit.

267
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,000
Get a little sup woofer back there.

268
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,000
Blow out the hatch back there.

269
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,000
What was your first prize?

270
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,000
Well.

271
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,000
You were able to take out when you wanted to.

272
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,000
Whether it was yours or not, your parents?

273
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,000
It was an 84 Thunderbird.

274
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:40,000
Nice.

275
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:41,000
Yeah.

276
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,000
And it was also baby blue.

277
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,000
Or was it?

278
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,000
It was my mom's.

279
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,000
I didn't have my first car until I was 23.

280
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,000
So I was a mooch.

281
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,000
Yeah.

282
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,000
And good for you.

283
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,000
That was it.

284
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,000
I was going to say when you said Thunderbird, you're like cool.

285
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,000
But really was it back in the mid-80s?

286
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,000
Man, they had a lot of balls.

287
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,000
Yeah.

288
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,000
They consumed a lot of gas, too.

289
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,000
Yeah.

290
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,000
It's cooler than the Citation or the Sherrod.

291
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,000
Sherrod.

292
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:08,000
What about you, Sean?

293
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,000
Well, that's what I was saying earlier.

294
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,000
I drove an 85 Chevette.

295
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:17,000
But my first car I owned was an Oldsmobile two door Omega.

296
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,000
And this car.

297
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,000
First of all, I need to preface this.

298
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,000
I don't care about cars.

299
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,000
OK?

300
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,000
So to me, I just don't care.

301
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,000
It gets me from point A to point B.

302
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,000
I never have one of these things where I cared about what it looked like.

303
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,000
I mean, I cared a little bit.

304
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,000
I mean, I don't want to drive a jalopy.

305
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,000
But at the same time, I'm not affected.

306
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,000
I don't have to go fast.

307
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,000
People make fun of me.

308
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,000
I don't care.

309
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,000
That doesn't motivate me.

310
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,000
Yeah, I know.

311
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,000
I got you.

312
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,000
But you do drive fast.

313
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,000
I do.

314
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:48,000
I do.

315
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,000
I can.

316
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,000
You know, strange enough, Jeff, I don't drive fast when I'm alone.

317
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,000
I don't know what that's all about.

318
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,000
When I drive by myself, I'm completely like an old fart.

319
00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,000
Oh, really?

320
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,000
Going from point A.

321
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,000
You're in the right lane?

322
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:02,000
Yeah, I do.

323
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,000
You know, I mean, when I'm driving with Jeff, I feel like I'm always in a rush.

324
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,000
I don't know what the deal is.

325
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,000
You got life to live.

326
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,000
Yeah, well, we're usually on our way to...

327
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,000
Oh, wow.

328
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:12,000
And get bourbon.

329
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,000
Jeff made it exciting.

330
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,000
No, we're usually on our way to an estate sale.

331
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,000
And we're like, it's going to close at four o'clock.

332
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,000
Yeah, let's hurry up.

333
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,000
And I'm fucking powerslide 180s popping tires.

334
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,000
Yes, he did.

335
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,000
Yeah, that's what happened.

336
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,000
Oh, my gosh.

337
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,000
But I had a...

338
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,000
I think it was an 81...

339
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,000
I don't remember what year it was.

340
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:28,000
It was an old two-door...

341
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,000
Well, that's not bad.

342
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:33,000
If that's what that is, you could soup that up, the old muscle car look.

343
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,000
Yeah, that's pretty cool.

344
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,000
It had that little thing in the back.

345
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,000
I don't see it on any of those.

346
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,000
I'll put it on 1985 or 1982.

347
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,000
Like a spoiler?

348
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:47,000
No, on the top of the back, it had a plastic cover.

349
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,000
Like a tonneau cover?

350
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,000
On the hood.

351
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,000
It was on the hood.

352
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,000
A hood, you know.

353
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,000
Not on the hood.

354
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,000
A God bless it on the top.

355
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,000
Look at the seats.

356
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,000
Look at the velvet seats.

357
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,000
Oh, the roof.

358
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,000
Yeah, the roof.

359
00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,000
There's one right there.

360
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,000
It's kind of what it looked like right there, but it wasn't so nice.

361
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,000
Oh, I see what you're saying.

362
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:11,000
Well, anyways, the seam that separates the metal from the canvas or whatever that vinyl

363
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,000
was had come off.

364
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,000
Oh, no.

365
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,000
I never really knew this happened because I was driving.

366
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:23,000
And then one day I'm driving and I see this kid next to me looking out his window and

367
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,000
he's like looking up over my car.

368
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,000
And I'm like, what the hell is that kid looking at?

369
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:32,000
And so when I get out of the car wherever my destination is, I get out and look at the

370
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,000
car and I realize it's like a parachute.

371
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:39,000
So it just pops up whenever I step on the gas.

372
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,000
I thought it was freaking hilarious.

373
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:42,000
First transformer.

374
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:46,000
Well, I'll tell you what, that's bad, but I don't know if this has ever happened to you,

375
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,000
but I get in high school.

376
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,000
I was riding with a friend.

377
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,000
He had a 1970 Pinto, 1970 something Pinto.

378
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,000
Oh, brutal.

379
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,000
Piece of turd.

380
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,000
And it was snowing.

381
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,000
It was in the wintertime.

382
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,000
And where I grew up, there was hills.

383
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,000
And I remember lots of turns.

384
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,000
I remember it was snow.

385
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,000
There was no street.

386
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,000
You kind of drove because you drove it 100,000 times.

387
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,000
So you knew where the street was.

388
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,000
And we were going down.

389
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,000
He was probably going 35 when he probably shouldn't have.

390
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:25,000
And all of a sudden his hood slams, slams straight up, slams straight up.

391
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:30,000
And it was like there were like three or four of us in the car and it was nighttime.

392
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:31,000
Oh, boy.

393
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,000
And like I said, the snow and he jammed his brake on.

394
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:40,000
So the hood's like this and we're sliding down this hill without

395
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,000
and you can't see what the hell's going on.

396
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:43,000
He had no control.

397
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,000
You couldn't see where you were going.

398
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,000
And not to mention it was snowing out.

399
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,000
So you couldn't see too much.

400
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,000
And it was a scary moment.

401
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,000
Were there cars on either side of the road?

402
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,000
No, luckily there was no one coming the other way.

403
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,000
Not even like parked?

404
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,000
No, no.

405
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,000
This was a street that didn't have any cars parked on it.

406
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:04,000
And luckily he finally came to a stop.

407
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,000
He went out and slammed it down and we kind of got going.

408
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,000
But shortly thereafter a car came up the other side.

409
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:14,000
But that was a little scary because I think, you know, you don't really think of that.

410
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,000
And all of a sudden it pops up and what would you do?

411
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:18,000
Panic.

412
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,000
Yeah.

413
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:20,000
You're just like, holy shit.

414
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,000
You stick your head out the window, I guess.

415
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,000
Yeah, hold it out the window and stick your head out.

416
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,000
Well, he didn't have power windows so it was like crank.

417
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,000
That was real fast.

418
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,000
Yeah, that's another thing you could do.

419
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:30,000
You could do it with a semi.

420
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,000
The semi isn't coming in the other way.

421
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,000
No kidding.

422
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:40,000
So I remember every time I see a Pinto or think of the Pinto, it always draws me to the movie Top Secret

423
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,000
where they got the guy, shock on the bus.

424
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:48,000
You know, and they were in the freaking Pinto and this big military car is coming.

425
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,000
Really, it's the Pinto.

426
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,000
It blows up.

427
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,000
That's what they were known for.

428
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,000
They'd blow up.

429
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,000
Yeah, that's right.

430
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,000
It was being knocked for having an explosion problem.

431
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,000
It was being knocked for an explosion problem.

432
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,000
It's a recall, possible explosion at any moment.

433
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:05,000
Yeah.

434
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,000
I drove a 1976 Cougar.

435
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,000
A Mercury Cougar was my first car that I drove.

436
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,000
Wow.

437
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:12,000
Eight cylinder beast.

438
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:13,000
Wow.

439
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,000
It was awesome.

440
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,000
Huge.

441
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:20,000
Did you just say you drove a different car before?

442
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:24,000
Well, that was the car my parents bought me later.

443
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:28,000
But the first car I ever drove was a 1976 Mercury Cougar.

444
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,000
Look at that badass.

445
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:31,000
Dang.

446
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,000
That's long.

447
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,000
You're not going to get hurt in that one.

448
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,000
It was like 22 feet long.

449
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:36,000
It was a large.

450
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,000
Get up a Gatling gun on that.

451
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,000
Yeah, they don't make cars like that anymore.

452
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,000
Yeah, that thing will go through a building.

453
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,000
That probably weighs like six tons.

454
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:45,000
Solid steel.

455
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,000
That's one of the families.

456
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:48,000
Oh, and it had giddy up, right?

457
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,000
So that's one of the family stories where I got a ticket.

458
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,000
I'm out in front of the school, I'm at a four-way stop,

459
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:58,000
and I got a ticket right leaving the four-way stop.

460
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,000
An excessive acceleration?

461
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,000
Well, my dad was like, where did you get the ticket?

462
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,000
And there's a little fire station right down the street.

463
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,000
And I was like, yeah, well, the pop was sitting at the fire station.

464
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:12,000
And he goes, the fire station right next to the four-way stop?

465
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:13,000
I go, yeah.

466
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:18,000
I got up to 65 within like, it's an eight cylinder car.

467
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:24,000
I mean, it was literally like, it was left, you know, it was great.

468
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,000
It was a great, great car.

469
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,000
Did you get any tickets for any when you were that age?

470
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,000
No.

471
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,000
I'm a real follower.

472
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,000
I didn't get a ticket either.

473
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,000
I got a couple.

474
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:40,000
One was, I used to work at McDonald's.

475
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,000
I closed, that was my first job working at McDonald's,

476
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:47,000
making $3.10 an hour, and flipping burgers.

477
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:51,000
And I would close on Friday nights and Saturday nights during school year.

478
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:55,000
And I remember we'd close at, I can't remember, midnight.

479
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,000
And we'd stay until like three or four cleaning.

480
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,000
So it was ready for the next day.

481
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:06,000
And at, you know, three or four o'clock, I remember one of the guys rode his bike.

482
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:10,000
And I was like, just hold on to the side of my car.

483
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,000
Oh, great idea.

484
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,000
And because we weren't going very far.

485
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:17,000
I was like, just, and it was late, and small towns and whatnot.

486
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,000
So we were going, I don't know, 25 or something like that.

487
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,000
He was hanging on to the side.

488
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,000
All of a sudden the lights pop up.

489
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,000
And of course I played stupid.

490
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,000
I was like, I didn't know anyone was there.

491
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:29,000
I didn't do that.

492
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,000
But no, you know, it's just.

493
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,000
Oh, my God, there's a bike next to my car.

494
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,000
What's this guy doing?

495
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:35,000
You know, I just, you know.

496
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,000
You both wore McDonald's outfits, you know.

497
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:38,000
You don't know this guy?

498
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,000
No, also I have no idea who this guy is.

499
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,000
But no, you know, he gets out and lectures me and all that good stuff.

500
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,000
And he gives me a ticket.

501
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:45,000
So I can't remember what it was for.

502
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,000
Yeah, it wasn't for.

503
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,000
I don't remember.

504
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:48,000
Being an idiot?

505
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:49,000
Reckless driver.

506
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,000
Probably.

507
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:51,000
And you know.

508
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,000
Indecent exposure.

509
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:53,000
I remember I had to go down to the.

510
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:54,000
The story gets deeper.

511
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:55,000
The courthouse.

512
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:56,000
He's got more to tell.

513
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,000
With my mom.

514
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:58,000
Oh.

515
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,000
And of course it was in the citation.

516
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:07,000
And I had to go down to the courthouse in Cincinnati and go to the window and pay the ticket.

517
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:08,000
How much was it?

518
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,000
It was like a hundred twenty five bucks.

519
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:11,000
Back in that day.

520
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:12,000
Yeah.

521
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,000
That's like a year's worth of wages for you.

522
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,000
Yeah, I mean.

523
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:16,000
Yeah, I mean.

524
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:17,000
That is humongous.

525
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,000
That is a crazy, crazy.

526
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:20,000
Yeah.

527
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,000
That's like a school zone ticket.

528
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:23,000
Yeah, that's what it was.

529
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,000
It was it was about one hundred twenty five bucks.

530
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:26,000
And I remember.

531
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:27,000
Wow.

532
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:28,000
I had to pay all of it.

533
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,000
So.

534
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:30,000
Dude, I must have hurt.

535
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:31,000
Oh, I did.

536
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:32,000
Make it three bucks an hour.

537
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:33,000
Yeah.

538
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,000
I'm not good at math, but that's a bunch of hours.

539
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,000
Yeah.

540
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,000
That's at least three more hours.

541
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,000
At least.

542
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:38,000
That's another nine dollars.

543
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:39,000
Yeah, I would have contested that.

544
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:40,000
Six after tax.

545
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,000
That just seems a little.

546
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,000
I was sixteen, seventeen.

547
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:43,000
I was like, what the hell?

548
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:44,000
That's excessive.

549
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:45,000
And my mom was like, yeah, I'm making an example.

550
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:46,000
This is what happens.

551
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,000
The time doesn't fit the crime, you know.

552
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,000
And all you want to do is help a guy, too.

553
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,000
You must have quit.

554
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:50,000
You're trying to get a guy home late at night.

555
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:51,000
Yeah.

556
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:52,000
Right.

557
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:53,000
No good deed goes unpunished.

558
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:54,000
No.

559
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:55,000
I mean, there's a slap.

560
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:56,000
Why didn't you just throw the bike in the trunk and give him a ride?

561
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:57,000
Well, I thought about just gunning it and trying to outrun him with the guy on the side

562
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,000
of the car.

563
00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,000
Oh, yeah.

564
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:07,000
And then if he falls, they'll have to stop and help that guy.

565
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,000
That's not a bad plan.

566
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,000
No, it's a ticket and attempted murder.

567
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:14,000
And evading arrest.

568
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:15,000
So, no.

569
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:16,000
But, you know, that was it.

570
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,000
And I think that's.

571
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:24,000
And I got a ticket for speeding when I got down here, but I really haven't had any kind

572
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:25,400
of tickets outside of those.

573
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,600
Yeah, that machine got me two tickets.

574
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:31,240
Were you guys the ones that started with the defund the police then?

575
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:32,600
Back in the day?

576
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:33,600
Oh, yeah.

577
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:34,600
Of course.

578
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,600
You don't serve any purpose, but give tickets.

579
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,600
Yeah, that's the way my oldest son is now.

580
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:40,600
Yeah.

581
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:42,600
And I was like, dude, chill.

582
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,280
They do way more than just write tickets.

583
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,600
I get pissed when they write tickets, when it's not necessary.

584
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,280
You're not causing any problems.

585
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,320
You're not going that fast or being reckless.

586
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:51,320
I get it.

587
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:55,200
But, yeah, he's saying the same stuff I said when I received the H.

588
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:56,200
Yeah.

589
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:57,200
See, but I complied.

590
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:58,200
I didn't get.

591
00:18:58,200 --> 00:18:59,200
Yeah, I stopped.

592
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:00,200
Yeah.

593
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:01,200
You know, get out of the car.

594
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:02,200
Yes, sir.

595
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:03,200
Yeah.

596
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,200
I remember one another time that we were pants off.

597
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:07,200
We didn't.

598
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:11,200
Yeah, we didn't get a ticket, but we were coming back from the club.

599
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:17,200
So I was twenty one, twenty two before I moved down down here and my friend was driving.

600
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,200
And, you know, we had stopped drinking.

601
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:21,200
And so we drove home.

602
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:22,200
It was like two o'clock in the morning.

603
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:26,200
And there was my friend was driving me in the front and another guy in the back seat,

604
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:27,200
another friend.

605
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,200
And we come off the highway to go home.

606
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:36,200
So we're taking like the main interstate interstate seventy five, I think that runs through Cincinnati.

607
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,200
And we come off the exit ramp.

608
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:45,520
And as soon as we do, a cop pulls us over and we pull into a car dealership parking

609
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:46,520
lot.

610
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:51,480
And as soon as we pull in there, that's where I got 10 cop cars came out of nowhere and

611
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,520
surrounded us.

612
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:59,040
And lights blaring, they get out and, you know, they had their guns out.

613
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:04,280
Well, I drew their guns and flashlights and all that stuff and questioning us.

614
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,320
And we're like, what the hell?

615
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:07,320
And they're like, get out of the car.

616
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:12,840
I got out of the car and they were hands on the hood frisking down, patting everything.

617
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,280
And did the same to my friend.

618
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,440
And the guy in the back was throwing a fit.

619
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:19,440
He was not complying.

620
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,000
Oh, they're like, get out of the car.

621
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:23,160
How stupid can you be?

622
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,560
And he's like, no, no, no.

623
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:30,920
And they got him out of the car and they arrested his ass and threw him in jail for the night.

624
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:31,920
Rightfully so.

625
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:32,920
Yeah.

626
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,120
You know, he's a white guy, but he didn't comply.

627
00:20:35,120 --> 00:20:36,400
He gets shot either.

628
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:37,400
No.

629
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:38,400
Well, no, he didn't.

630
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:42,360
But and it turns out that we were like, what the hell was that all about?

631
00:20:42,360 --> 00:20:48,040
He's like, well, there is a either a burglar or something with a car matching the one that

632
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:49,040
you're in.

633
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:50,040
Yeah.

634
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:54,320
And that's why all the cops showed up because we were in the same kind of car or whatever

635
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:55,320
just happened.

636
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:57,320
That's like my cousin Vinnie.

637
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:58,320
You're wrong.

638
00:20:58,320 --> 00:20:59,800
Guys in the same car.

639
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:01,600
It was a big car like that.

640
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:02,600
Three years.

641
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:03,600
You had three years.

642
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:04,600
It's a great movie.

643
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:08,240
It was a big car like that wasn't this one was a big humongous car like that, which holds

644
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:09,680
like six bodies in the trunk.

645
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:14,240
So, I mean, there's a lot of problems potentially makes it convenient.

646
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,560
So that's that's that's my fun with with the police.

647
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,680
But it goes to show, you know, two of us complied.

648
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:21,700
We got a all right.

649
00:21:21,700 --> 00:21:22,700
You can go.

650
00:21:22,700 --> 00:21:26,760
And the other one got thrown in the back of the cop car and taken to jail to get it all.

651
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:27,760
What does that mean?

652
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,280
Well, you know, it's a little rough to roughen up.

653
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,560
Well, they got him out of the car.

654
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:36,480
Well, sometimes my experience, I mean, not personally, but I mean, there has been some

655
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:40,880
folks that I didn't see anything that they've just been dummies.

656
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,320
And, you know, they they get they get thumped up.

657
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,920
Well, nightstick came out and just I don't think so.

658
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:46,920
I don't recall.

659
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:51,080
It's just a little reminder of, hey, stop that because they were being just stupid.

660
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,000
Oh, God, I can go on and on.

661
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:54,920
There was one particular he never learned.

662
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,680
He was a he when he was young, he was just a hard hit.

663
00:21:58,680 --> 00:21:59,680
Yeah.

664
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:03,080
I'm trying to say it the best way, but the cops used to mess with him.

665
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,400
And when I say that he was a repeat offender.

666
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,080
So they knew him.

667
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:08,080
Yeah.

668
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:09,360
It was the same beat.

669
00:22:09,360 --> 00:22:11,400
You know, the same cops were out there.

670
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:12,560
They're just kind of come on, man.

671
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:14,520
He would try to fight the cops.

672
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,600
And these guys were just they're big dudes, too.

673
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,200
That's kind of like, you know, and he was kind of small and scrappy.

674
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,440
So they would just like grab and wad them up in a little ball and be like, yeah, stop

675
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:23,440
it.

676
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,800
And they would he would put them on the grass.

677
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:30,120
He would sit there handcuffed and look stupid for a while.

678
00:22:30,120 --> 00:22:33,120
And then they take him to jail and have him spent over the night.

679
00:22:33,120 --> 00:22:34,760
And it's just it's just ridiculous.

680
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:36,080
I never I don't get it.

681
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:37,200
I didn't get it then.

682
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:38,560
I don't get it now.

683
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,600
But seeing that was kind of like a life lesson.

684
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,840
I was like, well, I don't want to do that.

685
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:47,920
You know, and so I don't understand the what it is for some of these folks that thinks

686
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,280
it's OK to resist.

687
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:51,280
I don't get it.

688
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,760
And to the level in which they are resisting.

689
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:57,960
I mean, it's one thing to resist because you're under the influence of something.

690
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:04,280
It's another thing to get out of your vehicle, wrestle with several police officers and then

691
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:09,800
go back to your car and reach in like you're going to grab something, regardless of what

692
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:10,800
you're grabbing.

693
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:12,220
Nobody knows what you're doing.

694
00:23:12,220 --> 00:23:14,500
And it's just like.

695
00:23:14,500 --> 00:23:19,320
You see all these videos of how fast you have to respond when something like that happens.

696
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,280
Your life's at stake.

697
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:26,100
Anybody that's behind you, friends, family, neighbors, your partner, you know, there's

698
00:23:26,100 --> 00:23:29,520
just it's just unlimited to things that could happen.

699
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,640
Why would you want to put someone in a position like that?

700
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:32,640
Right.

701
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,120
It's just God and just comply.

702
00:23:34,120 --> 00:23:35,520
What is the worst that's going to happen?

703
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:36,520
I get it.

704
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:42,160
You know, along those lines, when we when we talk about onus on both sides of the equation,

705
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,160
when you talk about the compliance side.

706
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,000
I tried to explain to a few people.

707
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:51,160
So if you were in front of a huge dog.

708
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:52,560
That you know, could hurt you.

709
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,120
But you don't you don't know the mind of a dog.

710
00:23:55,120 --> 00:23:56,120
So how would you behave?

711
00:23:56,120 --> 00:24:00,080
You'd probably not do anything to scare it or make it violent.

712
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:01,080
Yeah, sure.

713
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:02,640
Because you don't know the outcome.

714
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:03,640
Right.

715
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:09,720
So when you're in situations where people are trained to assess threat, they're also

716
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,400
trained if only one of you go home, it's you.

717
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:13,400
Right.

718
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:20,360
Police officer, why would you ever introduce an ingredient of risk that triggers that training

719
00:24:20,360 --> 00:24:22,280
is just there's an onus.

720
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:23,520
Like you can't do that.

721
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:24,520
I know.

722
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:25,520
I agree.

723
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,520
I think one of the key words you said is the training.

724
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:32,040
I know the police officers go through extensive training.

725
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,600
It's probably you know, it's probably never ending.

726
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:36,160
It's probably CE classes nonstop.

727
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:37,160
Oh, yeah.

728
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,440
But it's just like, what else do you include?

729
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:44,040
You know, they're talking about what else do you include in the weather?

730
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,120
They're trying to undo the chokehold.

731
00:24:46,120 --> 00:24:47,120
Right.

732
00:24:47,120 --> 00:24:50,320
Isn't that what some of the complaints are?

733
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:51,320
That's nothing.

734
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:52,320
I mean, I know.

735
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:53,320
But that's part of it.

736
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:54,320
Right.

737
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,120
And they're also trying to do away with the no knock.

738
00:24:56,120 --> 00:24:57,120
Well, warrants.

739
00:24:57,120 --> 00:25:00,800
But a lot of the stuff is de escalation tactics.

740
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:01,800
Right.

741
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:07,080
So don't let I mean, when somebody is not being compliant, there's things that.

742
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:13,680
That officers can do to make that that person who's not be not being compliant to spiral

743
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,320
out of control that leads to a dangerous situation to him getting shot.

744
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,240
Well, how do you how do you do that when they're on the ground wrestling with you?

745
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,360
Well, so that was one of my questions on technology.

746
00:25:23,360 --> 00:25:24,360
Right.

747
00:25:24,360 --> 00:25:25,560
Where where?

748
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:26,560
Why?

749
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:32,560
What's deficient in the taser that's not allowing that to be the solution of choice?

750
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,800
And I'm not saying that with an angle of right or wrong.

751
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:36,640
I'm just saying there's a lot of variables.

752
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:37,640
Yeah.

753
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:38,640
So is there some kind of voltage?

754
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:42,520
OK, so I mean, there's there's a difference between amperage and voltage.

755
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:48,160
Obviously, the very nature of a stun gun is low amperage, high voltage.

756
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:49,740
So what could they do?

757
00:25:49,740 --> 00:25:54,320
They could increase the amperage and lower the voltage, which would give them a stronger

758
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,760
if they've tried several times and it's unaffected.

759
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:57,760
Right.

760
00:25:57,760 --> 00:25:59,320
Then they may be they don't.

761
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:04,320
Right now, they don't offer that on stun guns because it's it'll kill people under the wrong

762
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:05,320
conditions.

763
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:09,000
But I also think it's not it's not it's not a proven thing, right?

764
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,200
It shoots little little barbs.

765
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:12,200
It shoots little barbs.

766
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:16,200
And if it and there's a delay in effect, if it doesn't penetrate your skin.

767
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:17,200
That's right.

768
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,400
I think it can grab it can grab the shirt, a loose shirt, and it grabs the shirt and

769
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,320
doesn't make contact with the skin.

770
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:23,320
That's true.

771
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:24,320
But it doesn't do anything.

772
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:28,720
People just aren't susceptible to the current that that's blasting through their bodies.

773
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,880
It just reacts or, you know, maybe it does attach to it.

774
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:36,320
And for some reason, that little section of your body, there's no continuity with other

775
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:37,320
parts.

776
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:38,320
It's just it's just weird.

777
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:39,320
It's not a perfect science.

778
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,400
So but it goes back to the same thing.

779
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:42,400
What can you do?

780
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:43,400
You see?

781
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:44,400
Well, that's a trillion dollar idea.

782
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:49,480
There's the technology like the Vulcan grip that makes you fall asleep or something, because

783
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:55,120
if there was an intermittent reliable mechanism that allowed you not to shoot someone to kill

784
00:26:55,120 --> 00:26:59,920
some sort of non lethal non lethal.

785
00:26:59,920 --> 00:27:06,400
You've got this thing that will shoot out of a gun that wraps you like a bolo.

786
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:07,400
Kind of.

787
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,840
I think they should use it's like a three foot or four foot long thing.

788
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:15,880
And when it hits you, you know, it's like, oh, yeah, they've had those since they work

789
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:16,880
in tight quarters.

790
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,080
I'm thinking about like how much room it needs to wrap around a human.

791
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,720
So I'm thinking about the guy who went to his car to get his knife and got shot in the

792
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:23,720
back.

793
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:24,720
Right.

794
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:26,360
That wouldn't work like close quarter confinement.

795
00:27:26,360 --> 00:27:28,680
Yeah, but it would have worked.

796
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,400
Had they done it as he was walking to the car?

797
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:36,080
Yeah, they had plenty of opportunities for one of the cops that was standing around.

798
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:37,880
You know, one of them could have did it.

799
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:39,360
They've done it at that time.

800
00:27:39,360 --> 00:27:40,360
But even at that.

801
00:27:40,360 --> 00:27:42,080
But how long does it last?

802
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:47,000
I mean, is it one of those things where it wraps and then it relaxes in five seconds?

803
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:48,000
Yeah.

804
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,920
I mean, is it do you have like five seconds to tackle them?

805
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,120
But they were already tackling him.

806
00:27:53,120 --> 00:27:55,760
You know, so it's just like if he's hopped up on some mountain dew.

807
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:56,760
Well, that's the thing.

808
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,880
If you get these up on drugs, that's why sometimes the taser doesn't work.

809
00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:00,880
I've got the answer.

810
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,440
I think a blow dart and a blow gun.

811
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:04,440
Six foot blow.

812
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:05,800
That's where I was going.

813
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,640
Now, you know that zookeepers, right?

814
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,080
When an animal lose a tranquilizer gun.

815
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:12,080
Yeah.

816
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:13,080
Why?

817
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:14,080
Why has that not been an option?

818
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,660
I thought about is the perfect alternative in my in my opinion.

819
00:28:16,660 --> 00:28:20,560
It knocks down 350 pound man.

820
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:21,560
But how long?

821
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:22,560
Oh, of hours.

822
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:23,560
No, but how long?

823
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:24,560
How quickly does it take to take effect?

824
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:25,560
15 seconds.

825
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:30,160
OK, that you can get off several rounds in 15 seconds.

826
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:31,160
True.

827
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:37,320
But if you if if you're trying to stop the escalation and you can anticipate it and you

828
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:42,760
can get a dart in there, pop, you got 15 seconds to talk them down and back away.

829
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:46,960
I'm thinking I'm thinking somebody who's acting erratic with brandishing a knife, but not

830
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:47,960
lunging.

831
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:48,960
They always say that.

832
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,680
How many times have you seen a video where the guy is like, drop the knife, drop the

833
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:55,480
knife and they're standing there just kind of shaking it and they and they shoot the

834
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,280
dude and they already exercise something similar to that.

835
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:02,440
It's kind of like when they do these fast speed chases, you know, these these police

836
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:06,600
officers aren't they're not they don't train them in high speed chases.

837
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:08,760
It's one of those things they don't train them for.

838
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:12,800
So yeah, they do to a certain point and they get the helicopter overhead.

839
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,440
They pull back because let them go.

840
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,800
We see where is that because people get killed.

841
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:21,960
Nowadays with technology in the grid, you're probably going to find him.

842
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:26,840
But I'm like when when when a guy's wielding a knife is a shot to the shin or ankle or

843
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:30,400
somewhere you're trained to go that's not but they're not.

844
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:34,720
But remember, they're training is if you feel the need to draw the weapon, you shoot to

845
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:35,720
kill.

846
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:36,720
Yeah.

847
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:38,000
So yeah, we've got modifications on both sides.

848
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,600
We need training and it's hard.

849
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:45,740
You know, and you get so much pushback, especially right now in these times.

850
00:29:45,740 --> 00:29:48,040
It's just it's unfortunate.

851
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,680
But I don't know if I told you guys I wrote both Cornyn and Cruz.

852
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:51,680
Right.

853
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:52,680
I don't know if I told you this story.

854
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:54,720
I think you I think you.

855
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:55,720
Yeah.

856
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:56,720
But go ahead.

857
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:57,720
It might have been not on the air.

858
00:29:57,720 --> 00:29:59,720
It might be at one of the parties start from the beginning.

859
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:00,720
Yeah.

860
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:06,840
So I mean, I took a Saturday and I spend an hour crafting this email to both of them that

861
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:14,240
said one of the biggest tension points of this issue is the ambiguity of interpretation

862
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:19,000
in real time moments between police and citizens.

863
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:20,120
Yeah, for sure.

864
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,120
So I said, why don't we come up with a protocol?

865
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:26,060
And I cited that stop, drop and roll.

866
00:30:26,060 --> 00:30:30,200
Every kid from third grade on knows if you're on fire, what do you do?

867
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:31,520
They were all taught this.

868
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:32,520
Right.

869
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:36,400
So if we had a protocol and it's either a three point or five point protocol that every

870
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:45,600
time a officer comes and approaches you, they said, hey, I'm initiating the peace protocol.

871
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,400
It's what I called it in my letter, but we'll come up branding later.

872
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:49,400
Yeah, yeah.

873
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,240
And every citizen knew they had to do three things.

874
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:53,760
And it was something we all agreed to.

875
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:57,480
It was hands behind heads, sit, knee, whatever it is.

876
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:58,840
I want to talk to you.

877
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:05,680
The whole object there is to make the person who's armed, who's trained to kill to feel

878
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:10,280
that there's not a threatening situation to escalate it there.

879
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:11,640
And it's binary then.

880
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:16,360
And if everyone's got body armor, which we're all headed there in body cameras, excuse me.

881
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:17,360
Yeah.

882
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:18,600
It'll all be videotaped.

883
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,920
It would start to make this, first of all, you would hope the incident rate would go

884
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,040
way down of escalation.

885
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:30,560
But second, when it does happen and it has to go to a jury or review or litigation or

886
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:35,520
firings, people would be vindicated for whoever followed the rules.

887
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:41,760
So a citizen did the three things and a cop wanted to be a bad guy because there are some.

888
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:42,760
They'd be on them.

889
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:48,360
And if he said, do these things and you don't do these three things, they're allowed to

890
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:52,080
escalate to their choosing of their training.

891
00:31:52,080 --> 00:32:00,360
Couldn't we accomplish based on based on clarity and avoid a lot more incidents?

892
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,720
It's just the only problem is, is kind of going back to what you said, Sean, is like

893
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:04,720
comply.

894
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:05,720
Right.

895
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:10,400
I would say of the shootings we've seen that have caused, you know, riots and protests

896
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:16,960
and marches, over 90% of them are something that that person did that led to their demise.

897
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:24,600
A decision they made to either not comply or brandish a knife or show a gun or something

898
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:25,600
almost in every case.

899
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:31,080
You got to ask yourself, why is it that they feel that they have that they can't, you know,

900
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,560
they're fighting back and they're resisting for a reason.

901
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:38,800
And it's because they don't feel they don't believe that they're going to be treated fairly.

902
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:39,800
Correct.

903
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:43,520
So this goes back to some higher education.

904
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:49,120
When the education needs to extend to their upbringing, their parents need to believe

905
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:50,120
it.

906
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,480
Their parents need to instill it in them.

907
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:53,720
Yeah, that's a good point.

908
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:55,280
The schools need to support it.

909
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,540
The schools need to say, hey, look, this is the way our government works.

910
00:32:58,540 --> 00:33:01,960
This is the way our our town police departments work.

911
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:07,300
It look just like you said, when this happens, this is what you're supposed to do.

912
00:33:07,300 --> 00:33:10,240
And if you do this, you're not going to be hurt.

913
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:15,920
I saw a YouTube video that was a black father that was a black father explaining what he

914
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,400
tells his kids, tells his sons.

915
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:23,160
And he tells him that he goes, do this, do this and do not for a second.

916
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:24,840
You know, right.

917
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:26,560
So I mean, there are you get to go home.

918
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,480
There's smart fathers like that that are out there.

919
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:30,480
It starts.

920
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:31,480
It's victims of victims.

921
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:37,120
So I mean, this is a tragedy because it also goes back to what I said a couple of weeks

922
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:41,800
ago when Andrew was here, 74 percent of the black families don't have a father.

923
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:47,620
Well, I hate to throw stones at certain sides of the aisle, but you know, these these conditions

924
00:33:47,620 --> 00:33:53,000
for the way these family structures are set up, you know, for the mother to be single.

925
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:58,460
It's an incentive for a black mom to be single because she's going to get all these extra

926
00:33:58,460 --> 00:34:03,340
tax credits and all this extra this help that the government is going to I mean, that gravy

927
00:34:03,340 --> 00:34:06,200
train needs to end.

928
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:09,480
And that's part of it responsible for what they got going on.

929
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:16,920
And now, even when that's solved, one of the trickier things to solve is the battle between

930
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,000
human biology.

931
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:22,520
And there's some tough things that we have to master there.

932
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,040
And it doesn't have to be that dangerous a conversation.

933
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:33,360
But fight or flight, survival, a very human, well, any species, survival instincts are

934
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,960
are there, right, they're biological.

935
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:39,840
And that creates complicated situations.

936
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:40,840
And I'll give you an example.

937
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:46,160
If I go out at night and I see a shadow walking towards me and I can discern it's five foot

938
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:49,120
eleven and one hundred and five pounds.

939
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:53,400
I have a different anxiety than if I have assessed their six, five, two, fifty.

940
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:54,400
Sure.

941
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:58,160
And I don't know if their color, if they're male or female, they could be a Martian.

942
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:01,160
That's a human reaction.

943
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:02,440
Risk assessment.

944
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:08,120
And I'm trying to help people not be so inflammatory with the wrong labels.

945
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:13,120
So an example to me is if I'm out at a picnic and a fly lands on my leg, I react different

946
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,320
than if a wasp lands on my leg.

947
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:17,280
That does not make me an insectist.

948
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:18,280
Right.

949
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,040
Well, because those horseflies can sting just as bad.

950
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:22,040
That's a new term.

951
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:23,040
Yeah.

952
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:29,240
And I'm just saying that if I walk, if I'm at a convention hall and they say, hey, your

953
00:35:29,240 --> 00:35:35,460
meeting's in this room and I walk in and there's a hundred, there's a hundred and fifty females.

954
00:35:35,460 --> 00:35:40,720
I'm going to have a different chemical reaction of nervousness in that moment than if that

955
00:35:40,720 --> 00:35:42,760
room is one hundred fifty men.

956
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:43,760
Yeah, I get it.

957
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:48,920
And by the way, half of that, half of that, when you see movies and media like they'll

958
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,960
show people a different color walk by each other and they clench their purse or they

959
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:55,400
get nervous and people think that there's a racist tone of like superiority.

960
00:35:55,400 --> 00:36:00,000
Honestly, it's a looking glass theory of I'm nervous, do you like me and accept me?

961
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,020
And that's how we show our nervousness.

962
00:36:02,020 --> 00:36:04,080
It's not I'm better than you.

963
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:09,540
And so I think we've got like that would be great to teach in schools, like the psychology

964
00:36:09,540 --> 00:36:12,360
of humanity and difference so that we weren't afraid of it.

965
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:15,440
And we're labeling it wrong with a lot of health class.

966
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:16,440
Yeah.

967
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:22,800
I think I didn't get to college until there was really classes on sociology and deviant

968
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:29,240
behavior or norms and mores and things that we evolve as we talk about potentially different

969
00:36:29,240 --> 00:36:30,240
commercials.

970
00:36:30,240 --> 00:36:35,160
We talk about what's acceptable in that period in our generation as humans.

971
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:38,800
We could go a long way if we really attacked that.

972
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:39,800
Yeah.

973
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:43,280
Because then people would understand and instead of reacting with hate or anger that they're

974
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:47,660
projecting something, they just understand that's normal biology on that.

975
00:36:47,660 --> 00:36:55,120
And I'll go another step where it's also stereotypes that are ingrained in our minds that represent

976
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:56,120
threat as well.

977
00:36:56,120 --> 00:37:00,860
Well, and that's where when we go to the media, you want to talk Jeff did about entertainment.

978
00:37:00,860 --> 00:37:05,440
Think about how many of our perspectives are shaped by that.

979
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:10,280
And my goodness, I mean, every movie, you don't see a bunch of guys like us looking

980
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:11,840
like the gangsters in the movie.

981
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,520
So why would anyone think we're the gangsters in real life?

982
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:20,240
So I would love to see a hundred thousand movies or the athlete or the nerd.

983
00:37:20,240 --> 00:37:23,240
I mean, we come up with these things.

984
00:37:23,240 --> 00:37:25,720
So here's the example I always like to give.

985
00:37:25,720 --> 00:37:27,760
There's a woman in an elevator, right?

986
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:29,600
She's got her purse, right?

987
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:37,280
And pick a color, a white guy, a Hispanic guy, Chinese guy, black guy, doesn't matter.

988
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:41,080
They're wearing the white beater t-shirt.

989
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:45,640
Any of those guys have shorts that are falling off their butt, they got their tatted up,

990
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:50,080
got earrings, nose rings looking kind of shady, right?

991
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:54,120
Any of those guys, doesn't matter what color they are, she's clutching her purse first,

992
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:55,120
right?

993
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:57,080
Take that same guy, put him in a suit.

994
00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:58,320
Sure.

995
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:03,520
Put him in a suit, nice hair, briefcase, steps on the elevator.

996
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:05,320
She's not thinking twice about it.

997
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,280
We can blame what James Dean and who's the dude from?

998
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,160
Amal and Brando, streetcar named Desire, right?

999
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:12,320
Stella and all that, wife beater's been around forever.

1000
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:13,520
So you're right.

1001
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:18,560
Those are all things that we ingrain and we don't mean anything by that.

1002
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:22,600
They're not mad at us, et cetera, but we've got to learn to evolve our intelligence to

1003
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:25,760
assess those things and learn how to temper it.

1004
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:28,120
And that's what I wish they would teach, like your point.

1005
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:29,960
I wish they would teach that in schools.

1006
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:33,880
Imagine in a sociology class doing that example right there.

1007
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,720
Look at that guy wearing that, look at the same guy wearing that.

1008
00:38:36,720 --> 00:38:37,720
What comes to your mind?

1009
00:38:37,720 --> 00:38:38,720
What do you feel?

1010
00:38:38,720 --> 00:38:42,680
I think there's a lot of missing elements in school right now.

1011
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:50,320
I think there's a lot of very important history that I know it's hard to shove everything

1012
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:54,440
into junior in high school.

1013
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:55,440
There's a lot.

1014
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:59,040
So, I mean, I don't know who's making the decision on what classes we're going to put

1015
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:01,000
in there, what classes we're not.

1016
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:08,480
But as we have said many of times in these podcasts is that when students have the ability

1017
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:13,640
to take a half a day as a part of their senior semester, they're going to do it.

1018
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:14,800
What the hell?

1019
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,560
What the hell is that all about?

1020
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:20,560
When we went to school, and look, this isn't because I went to school, you're going to

1021
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:21,560
do it.

1022
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:24,440
No, let's take advantage of the school system.

1023
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:26,480
The school is there to provide education.

1024
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:27,480
Let's learn something.

1025
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:29,000
And to prepare you for your future.

1026
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:34,800
So I don't know why they choose and elect not to include these in personally.

1027
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:41,920
I think there's something, I think that there's something going on, whoever's making these

1028
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:42,920
decisions.

1029
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:44,640
Oh, there's a conspiracy theory, you can say it.

1030
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:46,040
I think there's something going on.

1031
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:47,040
There is.

1032
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:48,640
I think that people are trying to dumb us down.

1033
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:51,840
I think they're damaging the fabric of our communities.

1034
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:52,840
So it's idiocracy.

1035
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:55,920
It would be idiocracy, they're trying to dumb us down.

1036
00:39:55,920 --> 00:40:01,800
I just think that they're thinning out and they're taking out parts of history that the

1037
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:02,800
kids don't know.

1038
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,120
That's absolutely ignorant of.

1039
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:12,320
I personally think if the black folks knew the truth about slavery from the beginning

1040
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:18,000
of time to now, they wouldn't be having the attitude they'd have.

1041
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:21,240
In terms of how many different types of people it affected.

1042
00:40:21,240 --> 00:40:25,360
The entire world has been enslaved at one point.

1043
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:30,260
And it just so happens that the black folks were the last ones.

1044
00:40:30,260 --> 00:40:36,800
But I guarantee it, before the black folks from, I should say, before the Africans hit

1045
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:43,640
our coasts, there were more white folks that were hitting the African coasts as slaves

1046
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:46,520
than there were hitting the American coast.

1047
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:48,520
And that's a fact.

1048
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:52,000
More white people have been slaves than the black folks have.

1049
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:53,000
Period.

1050
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:54,000
Interesting perspective.

1051
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:57,660
You know, the Middle East is, that's their whole thing.

1052
00:40:57,660 --> 00:41:03,720
It was dominate, the Ottoman Empire, I don't know all the history of it, but that was their

1053
00:41:03,720 --> 00:41:04,720
whole thing.

1054
00:41:04,720 --> 00:41:05,720
Dominate, kill, pillage.

1055
00:41:05,720 --> 00:41:06,720
And enslave.

1056
00:41:06,720 --> 00:41:07,720
And enslave.

1057
00:41:07,720 --> 00:41:19,360
And they embraced or they secured, yeah, they secured the Barbary Pirates.

1058
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:21,720
That was one of the things that they did.

1059
00:41:21,720 --> 00:41:27,640
And this was interesting in the late 1700s and the early 1800s is when the Barbary Pirates

1060
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:32,080
were taking our commerce and they were damaging it to the point where Thomas Jefferson was

1061
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:34,080
like, fuck you.

1062
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:41,280
And we sent, he created the U.S. Navy and sailed the U.S.S. Constitution and the Philadelphia

1063
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:45,560
boat and came up here to, went out there and whipped some ass.

1064
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:47,760
You know, the Barbary Pirates, all they did was pay in a toll.

1065
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:48,760
They would let you through.

1066
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:49,760
And they let you through.

1067
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:54,760
Then they would take all the people off the boat and they would load them on the north,

1068
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:58,640
the coast of North Africa and they would sell them.

1069
00:41:58,640 --> 00:41:59,640
Sex slaves.

1070
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:01,680
90% of them sex slaves.

1071
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:02,960
Cultivate the lands.

1072
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:04,560
Go get my water.

1073
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:05,560
Whack me off.

1074
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:09,680
Not necessarily in that order, but that was basically what was going on.

1075
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:10,680
It's disgusting.

1076
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:11,680
Yeah.

1077
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:12,680
Human nature is just disappointing.

1078
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:16,440
So it's just, you know, that's a picture, a fantastic picture right there he's pulled

1079
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:17,440
up.

1080
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:21,240
Those are Barbary Pirates and that was the perception of what they were.

1081
00:42:21,240 --> 00:42:23,840
And notice that those folks are white.

1082
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:28,520
Those guys are probably being drug off of a, somewhere in the United Kingdom.

1083
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:32,840
Hell, the Barbary Pirates went all the way up into the Scandinavian area up to where

1084
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:39,160
Oslo's at and the lower tip of Norway, Finland and what's the other one?

1085
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:40,160
Sweden.

1086
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:44,840
And they went all the way up there and they were just, if it was on the coast, they hit

1087
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:46,440
it and they didn't care.

1088
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:52,720
And they, that may be a cliche look, but it kind of envelopes the whole summary of what

1089
00:42:52,720 --> 00:42:54,400
they did.

1090
00:42:54,400 --> 00:43:03,440
And I'd be, I would be interested to find the cache of treasures of where all that loot

1091
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:04,440
is.

1092
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:05,440
I thought about that the other day.

1093
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:08,080
You need to get Nicholas Cage to find it.

1094
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:09,080
He'll find it.

1095
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:10,080
Yeah.

1096
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:11,080
He knows all the clues.

1097
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:12,080
That the Knights Templar.

1098
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:16,780
But my point by bringing that whole thing up was that it's just, it's a lack of education.

1099
00:43:16,780 --> 00:43:18,840
And I think that you hit it on the head.

1100
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:20,640
If we need, the kids need to be taught more.

1101
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:24,640
And if they know more than, you know, the more you're informed about life, you can make

1102
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:27,480
better informed decisions on how you want to move forward.

1103
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:31,600
And I think that some of these communities, that some of these, the black communities,

1104
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:34,120
they're just not, the teachers don't give a shit.

1105
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:37,000
You know, they go to school, they just pass, you know, they don't give a shit, just pass

1106
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:38,000
them.

1107
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:39,000
And that's just wrong.

1108
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:41,300
And I know it's got to start somewhere.

1109
00:43:41,300 --> 00:43:44,560
And I know this generation is kind of fucked up.

1110
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:47,600
And I don't have the answers, but I could tell you, I know the direction we need to

1111
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:51,960
go, and I think that someone smarter than me needs to start taking steps to make that

1112
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:57,040
happen so that, you know, when my grandkids are great grandkids and they're great grandkids,

1113
00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:58,040
we're all together.

1114
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:03,160
This is, you know, the goal is to be towards kind of a utopia, even though I don't want

1115
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:06,360
to say open borders and all that stuff, kumbaya, but you know what?

1116
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:07,920
It kind of is.

1117
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:09,000
We all want to kind of get together.

1118
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:10,520
I'm not saying have open borders.

1119
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:15,480
I'm not, I'm just saying we need to get together and we need to be more happy with each other.

1120
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:18,980
You know, and it's just kind of like, you know, at the end of the day, what do you do?

1121
00:44:18,980 --> 00:44:21,160
What does it take for you to be happy?

1122
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:22,600
You know, and these guys got to figure it out.

1123
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:23,600
I got to figure it out.

1124
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:25,040
I mean, we drink bourbon.

1125
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:27,080
I like playing video games.

1126
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:29,640
I mean, what do you do to be happy at the?

1127
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:31,360
Randy, what do you do?

1128
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:32,360
I like this.

1129
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:33,360
I like exchanging of ideas.

1130
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:35,840
I mean, to me, life's a journey.

1131
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:37,400
You're never going to figure it all out.

1132
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:38,400
There's plenty to learn.

1133
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:41,400
There's plenty to learn from other people.

1134
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:44,440
When you have these conversations, you learn a little more about yourself.

1135
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:45,520
Sure.

1136
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:52,800
I think I think people who get tired of self-discovery are some of the sadder people I know.

1137
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:53,800
Yeah.

1138
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:58,040
I'll turn it into I'll rephrase this into my drunks version of this story, which is

1139
00:44:58,040 --> 00:44:59,960
much more entertaining.

1140
00:44:59,960 --> 00:45:03,320
And I've told this to my kids and my wife and everyone.

1141
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:06,720
And it'll come out and I'll just say, hey, I think I'm fucking awesome.

1142
00:45:06,720 --> 00:45:08,560
They'll ask you.

1143
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:11,280
They're like, they're like, they're like, well, that's pretty arrogant.

1144
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:12,920
I'm like, no, it's not.

1145
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:13,920
It's logical.

1146
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:15,440
I think I'm amazing.

1147
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:17,200
And they're like, thank you, sir.

1148
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:20,600
Like, well, I'm enjoying some Mexican lager while you're talking.

1149
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:21,600
Thank you.

1150
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:22,600
Yeah.

1151
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:23,600
And they'll say, well, why is that?

1152
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:25,880
I said, well, let me let me break it down logically.

1153
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:29,760
Do you or do you not have to live with you the rest of your life?

1154
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:30,760
Yeah.

1155
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:31,760
Yeah.

1156
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:36,000
Would you want to live with someone you hate?

1157
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:39,640
Why wouldn't you love who you are or make you the version of yourself you can not only

1158
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:43,120
tolerate but love because you have to be with you the rest of your life?

1159
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:45,720
I mean, there's nothing more logical than that.

1160
00:45:45,720 --> 00:45:51,360
So find your find your thing that makes you like who you are.

1161
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:54,240
And that will help you.

1162
00:45:54,240 --> 00:45:55,880
I think that's totally valid.

1163
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:57,640
I think that's what everybody should strive to do.

1164
00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:02,880
I just think that there's lots of situations where the human brain does not allow them

1165
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:03,880
to do that.

1166
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:06,320
Well, there's and now you're talking about a million different shades.

1167
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:07,880
You mean the wife, a million.

1168
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:11,160
No, a million different shades of mental illness, right?

1169
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:14,080
From extremely mild to extremely scary.

1170
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:15,080
Right.

1171
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:16,080
Totally.

1172
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:19,320
And I think, you know, I think brains can be wired to be negative.

1173
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:20,320
Yes.

1174
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:23,120
And you've got to you've got to unwind that.

1175
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:26,320
And you know, so people look in the mirror and they they look away immediately because

1176
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:30,440
they're like, I can't I can't stand that.

1177
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:31,440
So much more to it, though.

1178
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:36,040
There's shame and there's decisions that were made that are, you know, that that they won't

1179
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:37,760
ever let go of.

1180
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:40,120
There's a guilt and shame and this and that.

1181
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:43,240
And they and they and they and they're not worth it anymore.

1182
00:46:43,240 --> 00:46:45,840
And I mean, you know, there's also people.

1183
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:48,080
OK, what makes you happy?

1184
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:51,200
Us here, we probably a lot of the similar things, but there's people out there that

1185
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:52,560
what makes you happy.

1186
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:54,120
I like killing people.

1187
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:55,120
Right.

1188
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:56,120
There's people out there like that.

1189
00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:57,120
I like hurting.

1190
00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:58,120
Let's take a turn.

1191
00:46:58,120 --> 00:46:59,120
I like.

1192
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:00,120
I like.

1193
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:01,120
Well, there is.

1194
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:02,120
Right.

1195
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:03,400
I mean, there's people.

1196
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:07,680
That's what makes them happy or satisfies them in whatever way.

1197
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:08,680
Right.

1198
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:11,640
And there's there's a full spectrum for the record.

1199
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:12,640
We're going to deter that.

1200
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:13,640
That that's right.

1201
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:15,320
So he's absolutely right.

1202
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:17,960
There's not the way to show self love of our whole spectrum.

1203
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:22,840
We're going to have, as Paul said, a group that are mentally ill, that struggle to have

1204
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:26,480
the capability to be happy, although their intent is to be sure there's going to be a

1205
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:27,480
spectrum.

1206
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:28,480
Everybody wants to be happy to be.

1207
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:32,200
Well, they're going to have like a little flow chart with pictures, but we can be more

1208
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:38,160
successful in managing, helping and treating those people, the happier and stronger, the

1209
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:39,840
vast majority are.

1210
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:43,960
And that's where I was talking to them Saturday night that if happiness is a skill, that's

1211
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:46,480
something else we ought to be teaching kids.

1212
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:49,000
What are the skills you need to do to find that?

1213
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:50,680
And enough kids aren't reading.

1214
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:53,760
You talk about they always talk about wealthy people and how much they read because that

1215
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:55,080
makes them more successful.

1216
00:47:55,080 --> 00:48:00,660
But part of that comes from, you know, gosh, philosophy, like know thyself and find your

1217
00:48:00,660 --> 00:48:01,660
purpose and all that.

1218
00:48:01,660 --> 00:48:02,800
And I'm not trying to get too zen.

1219
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:07,640
But yeah, like if you can't be happy with yourself to be positive, you can't impact

1220
00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:08,640
others.

1221
00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:11,520
And I'm not saying it has to be a kumbaya.

1222
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:16,240
A lot of people win one little battle at a time, help others in a different way.

1223
00:48:16,240 --> 00:48:19,600
And we don't teach them any of these coping skills.

1224
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:20,760
We don't teach them financial skills.

1225
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:21,760
We don't teach them coping skills.

1226
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:22,760
You know what?

1227
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:23,760
You know what?

1228
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:24,760
Societal skills.

1229
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:27,080
You know where that stuff historically comes from?

1230
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:28,560
It comes from church.

1231
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:32,040
That's where those that's where those traits come from.

1232
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:33,040
Historically.

1233
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:35,040
Well, historically, it was never the church.

1234
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:38,040
The education system is not designed.

1235
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:43,960
I'm not saying it shouldn't be, but it's not designed to supplement the spiritual part

1236
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:47,080
of you know, and I'm not talking about, you know, God and Jesus.

1237
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:51,760
I'm talking about the message of how to treat people and how to, you know, and how to feel

1238
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:52,760
about yourself.

1239
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:55,040
And because all those messages are in religion.

1240
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:56,040
Right.

1241
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:58,880
And not just not just Boy Scouts, not just Scouts.

1242
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:00,680
It is in a lot of places.

1243
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:06,640
I'm saying like one of the same from the beginning, it came from it came from.

1244
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:09,320
Well, and I think if that were to evolve.

1245
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:12,480
So that's probably one of the problems we talk about.

1246
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:13,480
Advancing society.

1247
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:15,440
You flirted with the open borders.

1248
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:19,280
But basically, if we could all figure it out and all exist together.

1249
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:20,280
Sure.

1250
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:22,760
Problem is not not to Hollywood, but that will never happen.

1251
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:29,320
No, every futuristic store, every futuristic movie of a utopia is this calm, evolved species.

1252
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:31,080
But what's it common?

1253
00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:32,080
Buck Rogers.

1254
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:35,840
Some monolithic control.

1255
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:38,960
There's some big control mechanism, right?

1256
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:39,960
Yeah.

1257
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:44,280
I think the reason they've turned away from they have an evolved religion to not just

1258
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:47,400
be because it was decreed.

1259
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:49,600
Like do this be good to them?

1260
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:53,320
We need to evolve that message to a we're never going to be able to solve that.

1261
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:56,640
We need to go back to a let's let's evolve that messaging.

1262
00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:57,640
We still want the same outcome.

1263
00:49:57,640 --> 00:50:01,960
But the dialogue of how we get there instead of reading it and singing it from someone

1264
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:04,680
who told me to do it, which we've already talked about anti authority.

1265
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:05,680
Yeah.

1266
00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:06,680
Right.

1267
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:09,360
Let's let's get there from a you know, there are people doing like church under the bridge

1268
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:11,680
type stuff, you know, and outreach.

1269
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:12,680
But it does.

1270
00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:13,680
It does bring a valid point.

1271
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:20,800
I mean, the if you can't learn in school, I mean, you the family has the the source

1272
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:25,080
of churches and church like places and more and more than just church.

1273
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:28,400
I mean, honestly, your value system comes from your parents.

1274
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:29,400
Yeah.

1275
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:31,560
So I'd like to modify that, though, real quick.

1276
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,240
I think we need to change the definition of family.

1277
00:50:34,240 --> 00:50:40,080
Everyone listening might be identifying that as nuclear and in the prescribed husband,

1278
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:41,480
wife, sibling.

1279
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:44,520
Like it doesn't have to be that if you don't have a mother and a father.

1280
00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:45,680
Stop listening right now.

1281
00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:46,680
You're out.

1282
00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:47,680
Oh, wait, maybe not.

1283
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:50,680
I should have gotten a vote on that first.

1284
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:53,800
Well, somebody thought as well, you probably can see that way.

1285
00:50:53,800 --> 00:51:00,320
But yes, my mother identifies as uncle now.

1286
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:02,960
And Jenny is now a Jamie.

1287
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:03,960
Yep.

1288
00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:04,960
Yep.

1289
00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:09,800
And so that's going to be well, the reason I the reason I actually brought that up was

1290
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:15,360
not to champion diversity was more to prevent anyone listening to get discouraged.

1291
00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:19,160
So if I don't have a mother and a father, I'm already I totally get it.

1292
00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:23,240
I mean, it is you get an uncle, a grandfather, you could have three buddies from that you

1293
00:51:23,240 --> 00:51:25,000
grew up with that are your conscience.

1294
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:29,680
Your value system can come from anybody who is a pivotal, that's all I meant a pivotal

1295
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:30,680
person in your life.

1296
00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:33,080
There are people who don't have parents at all.

1297
00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:35,720
And it's the it's the old dude on the corner.

1298
00:51:35,720 --> 00:51:36,720
It's the community.

1299
00:51:36,720 --> 00:51:37,720
Correct.

1300
00:51:37,720 --> 00:51:41,280
You know, it takes a community to raise your family, a child, you know, and the bottom

1301
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:43,720
line is everybody makes a difference in that.

1302
00:51:43,720 --> 00:51:44,720
Yeah.

1303
00:51:44,720 --> 00:51:45,720
Right.

1304
00:51:45,720 --> 00:51:48,200
It's unfortunate, though, that, you know, there's just bad apples.

1305
00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:49,640
There's bad mentors out there.

1306
00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:52,880
There's there's just you know, there's a lot of people that

1307
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:54,480
don't have that.

1308
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:55,480
Right.

1309
00:51:55,480 --> 00:52:01,000
So, you know, I was watching a news story last night about these kids that just got

1310
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:03,520
rescued from the sex trade down in Georgia.

1311
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:04,520
Sixty five kids.

1312
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:05,520
Yeah.

1313
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:06,520
Amazing.

1314
00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:07,520
And I can't remember who the interview was with.

1315
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:09,720
Oh, it was with that Nancy Grace.

1316
00:52:09,720 --> 00:52:10,720
She's over the top.

1317
00:52:10,720 --> 00:52:11,720
But anyway, she brought up some good points.

1318
00:52:11,720 --> 00:52:13,200
Yeah, she is.

1319
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:17,480
And she's like, you know, I think she was being interviewed by somebody.

1320
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:23,120
And the question was, you know, what what what happens with these kids?

1321
00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:28,240
And she's like, well, these kids, these the the existence that they live is they get captured.

1322
00:52:28,240 --> 00:52:31,520
They get raped 20 times a day because they're pimped out.

1323
00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:32,520
Right.

1324
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:33,520
Right.

1325
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:37,280
And then they come back and they get beat up and thrown into a room with 10 other kids

1326
00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:39,720
and it just repeats itself.

1327
00:52:39,720 --> 00:52:44,000
And if those kids are ever saved, what condition are they going to be in?

1328
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:45,000
Right.

1329
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:46,880
You know, they don't they don't know anything different.

1330
00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:47,880
Right.

1331
00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:50,000
So they're going to they're going to be it's a disaster.

1332
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:51,000
Right.

1333
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:55,760
And these kids, what are they going to be like in five, 10 years when they're 15, 20

1334
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:56,760
years old?

1335
00:52:56,760 --> 00:52:57,760
Yeah.

1336
00:52:57,760 --> 00:52:59,480
Anything to numb the pain?

1337
00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:01,480
And that's a lot of bad vices.

1338
00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:02,480
Yeah.

1339
00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:06,840
So it's an extreme experience, but everyone has a different experience.

1340
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:07,840
That's true.

1341
00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:09,280
And I mean, that's extreme.

1342
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:12,640
But there's a lot of extreme experiences out there that people go through.

1343
00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:18,120
And whereas mine, we didn't go to church growing up, but and I don't remember my mom or dad

1344
00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:21,560
ever sit me down going, this is how you treat people.

1345
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:23,440
But it was by observance, right?

1346
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:25,160
How my parents treated people.

1347
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:26,160
Absolutely.

1348
00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:31,000
They didn't have to sit down and tell me they did it by example.

1349
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:33,440
And a lot of families, they don't have that.

1350
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:38,080
So you know, I'm waiting for somebody with the big brain and the means, you know, I think

1351
00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:40,540
about Bill Gates and all them, they're going to leave their fortunes.

1352
00:53:40,540 --> 00:53:45,680
And I think about things like, so we've just identified there are tons of youth and troubled

1353
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:49,360
people that are early in their lives on this planet who don't have mentors.

1354
00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:50,880
They don't have right.

1355
00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:54,960
And those people, if they're part of a single parent family, that person's working three

1356
00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:56,640
jobs, there's no time, no time.

1357
00:53:56,640 --> 00:54:01,120
Then we've got a baby boomer generation about to retire.

1358
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:04,080
And if you ask most of them why they're depressed is no one visits them.

1359
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:05,800
No one cares what they have to say.

1360
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:07,120
No one thinks they're worth anything.

1361
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:12,000
Like, why can't you make a bridges move forward foundation of mentors and seniors?

1362
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:13,520
Like all this wisdom.

1363
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:14,520
Connect the dots, right?

1364
00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:17,120
I mean, like these people would love to talk to people and help them.

1365
00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:22,120
These people are craving being helped by somebody like, I bet for our kids someday, you know,

1366
00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:25,520
I'd love for them to say, it's different when I come in and you're juggling three things,

1367
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:29,800
dad, and you're half listening to me and it's rushed and I'm trying to talk to you versus

1368
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:33,720
walking into a senior citizen or a baby boomer who's retired has nothing but time.

1369
00:54:33,720 --> 00:54:35,600
It makes you feel sit down.

1370
00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:37,720
Have some lemonade.

1371
00:54:37,720 --> 00:54:38,720
Talk to me.

1372
00:54:38,720 --> 00:54:39,720
Yeah.

1373
00:54:39,720 --> 00:54:40,720
Kind of creepy almost.

1374
00:54:40,720 --> 00:54:41,720
Yeah.

1375
00:54:41,720 --> 00:54:42,720
Yeah, you could go there.

1376
00:54:42,720 --> 00:54:44,280
But you know, it's not very attractive.

1377
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:47,680
I think I think there are a lot of I think there are a lot of good ideas like that.

1378
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:50,320
Yeah, that can be, you know, thank you, Austin.

1379
00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:51,320
You talk about a village.

1380
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:55,960
So back when a tribe or a community or a village raised you, you had that circle of life going.

1381
00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:56,960
Yeah.

1382
00:54:56,960 --> 00:54:57,960
From the oldest to the youngest.

1383
00:54:57,960 --> 00:54:58,960
Yeah, that's right.

1384
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:00,720
You know, that's true.

1385
00:55:00,720 --> 00:55:01,880
I think we can find it.

1386
00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:03,480
I'm an optimist, though.

1387
00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:05,480
What is the you said you wrote a book?

1388
00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:06,480
I wrote a book.

1389
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:09,120
Did you say Corbin and Cruz or something like that?

1390
00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:12,760
He wrote a letter to those are representatives.

1391
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:13,760
Ted Cruz, John.

1392
00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:16,360
Oh, Cornyn and Cruz.

1393
00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:22,160
I was like, like Fast and Furious, Cornyn and Cruz.

1394
00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:23,160
It's a cartoon strip.

1395
00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:24,160
I'm back.

1396
00:55:24,160 --> 00:55:28,160
And by the way, I didn't even get a I didn't even get a staffer write me back say thanks

1397
00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:29,160
for your input or anything.

1398
00:55:29,160 --> 00:55:31,680
So from either one to copy anybody.

1399
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:32,680
Zero.

1400
00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:35,400
Was it was it really poorly written?

1401
00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:38,600
Did you have punctuation spelling?

1402
00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:41,200
Was it email or document?

1403
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:44,040
It was a 200 word.

1404
00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:47,360
You have to communicate to them through a pre populated field.

1405
00:55:47,360 --> 00:55:48,920
Well, you shouldn't be that proud.

1406
00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:50,880
You should you should share it.

1407
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:57,700
I think I think that if shared with enough folks, I just want better understanding.

1408
00:55:57,700 --> 00:55:59,360
We can solve little things at a time.

1409
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:00,960
Little wins add up.

1410
00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:04,640
If one of those is it just happens to be way more relevant than two years ago when I wrote

1411
00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:05,640
it.

1412
00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:06,640
That's funny.

1413
00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:07,880
But that would be a great start.

1414
00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:09,320
It's start taking the edge.

1415
00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:12,920
If you don't mind and you're not too proud or shy, I'd love to read it.

1416
00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:13,920
OK.

1417
00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:15,000
You know, forward it on.

1418
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:16,080
Learn it.

1419
00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:17,080
Teach it.

1420
00:56:17,080 --> 00:56:18,080
Yeah.

1421
00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:19,360
You know, if it makes sense, there's no reason.

1422
00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:21,400
I love to mentor.

1423
00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:26,040
I enjoy teaching, you know, kids and talking to them.

1424
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:29,040
And I've done some volunteer work and I enjoy it.

1425
00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:30,040
I feel good.

1426
00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:31,040
It makes me feel good.

1427
00:56:31,040 --> 00:56:32,800
We talk about things that make me happy.

1428
00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:33,800
That makes me happy.

1429
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:39,880
I like being a fatherly person towards kids and stuff.

1430
00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:40,880
Awesome.

1431
00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:46,200
Hey, Austin, we need more of that completely separate thing, but pull up the mugshot for

1432
00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:49,440
Gerald Kohler.

1433
00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:52,440
Your your picture.

1434
00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:53,440
Triggered a memory.

1435
00:56:53,440 --> 00:56:54,440
Sorry, that was a hard segue.

1436
00:56:54,440 --> 00:56:55,440
Hard segue.

1437
00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:56,440
Gerald Kohler.

1438
00:56:56,440 --> 00:56:57,440
Yes.

1439
00:56:57,440 --> 00:56:58,440
G E R A.

1440
00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:04,320
While you're doing that, let me close out that previous topic with a cool one.

1441
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:12,240
So there was a black jogger who was stopped by police kind of kind of like the story you

1442
00:57:12,240 --> 00:57:14,880
described where they all kind of drew guns and stuff.

1443
00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:20,440
It was kind of a it was an abrasive, you know, not arrest, but a detaining.

1444
00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:21,440
It scared him.

1445
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:27,440
He was worried he was recording because he fit the description of a burglary suspect.

1446
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:31,280
And so they apparently told him over and over again, you're not being arrested.

1447
00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:35,200
You're simply being detained until we can confirm that you're not the person that blah,

1448
00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:36,400
blah, blah, blah, blah.

1449
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:38,200
And he completely complied.

1450
00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:41,560
He was scared of shit, but he was completely complied and everything.

1451
00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:46,160
And then after the whole thing was done, the officers thanked him for complying, thanked

1452
00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:49,500
him for, you know, just his professionalism or whatever.

1453
00:57:49,500 --> 00:57:52,040
And they offered him a job at the sheriff's department.

1454
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:54,280
Yeah, we need more of those stories.

1455
00:57:54,280 --> 00:57:59,080
And that's don't we news and media and the sound bite and the got to grab attention.

1456
00:57:59,080 --> 00:58:00,640
So it's hyperbole and drama.

1457
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:05,920
They were so appreciative of of him complying in a very tense situation, doing their jobs,

1458
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:11,160
right, doing their jobs, trying to find somebody who who fit the description of a of a burglary

1459
00:58:11,160 --> 00:58:12,160
burglar, you know, burglar.

1460
00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:14,160
Anyway, yeah, they offered him a job.

1461
00:58:14,160 --> 00:58:15,440
I thought that was cool.

1462
00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:21,400
Hey, a little bit off the subject with the girl, Sophia.

1463
00:58:21,400 --> 00:58:23,420
Yeah, weird deal.

1464
00:58:23,420 --> 00:58:24,960
What is the verdict on this?

1465
00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:26,520
I haven't heard anything.

1466
00:58:26,520 --> 00:58:27,520
No.

1467
00:58:27,520 --> 00:58:28,520
Have you heard anything about this?

1468
00:58:28,520 --> 00:58:29,520
All right.

1469
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:32,280
This is a nine year old girl that lives in Frisco.

1470
00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:35,800
She apparently recorded.

1471
00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:36,800
She is.

1472
00:58:36,800 --> 00:58:37,800
She she recorded herself.

1473
00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:38,800
Is that the reason why you pull this up?

1474
00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:39,800
You want to see us?

1475
00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:40,800
I'll compare.

1476
00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:41,800
What is this?

1477
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:43,440
What are we looking at here?

1478
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:45,760
That's an antifa guy that just got arrested.

1479
00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:46,960
He's got a moose knuckle head.

1480
00:58:46,960 --> 00:58:49,840
It's like some fat bitch's twat just sitting up there.

1481
00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:50,840
Okay.

1482
00:58:50,840 --> 00:58:52,640
Well, he just marked the time to mark the time.

1483
00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:53,640
Well, he just he just.

1484
00:58:53,640 --> 00:58:54,640
You can't say twat.

1485
00:58:54,640 --> 00:58:55,640
Twat you say?

1486
00:58:55,640 --> 00:58:56,640
What?

1487
00:58:56,640 --> 00:58:57,640
Twat?

1488
00:58:57,640 --> 00:58:58,640
I can't.

1489
00:58:58,640 --> 00:58:59,640
Wait, no.

1490
00:58:59,640 --> 00:59:00,640
All right.

1491
00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:01,640
Time stamp this one.

1492
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:02,640
Twat.

1493
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:03,640
I can't hear you.

1494
00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:04,640
I mean, you're in function.

1495
00:59:04,640 --> 00:59:05,640
Oh, I'll finger it out later.

1496
00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:06,640
Oh, actually don't edit that.

1497
00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:07,640
That was perfect.

1498
00:59:07,640 --> 00:59:08,640
Everybody needs to hear that.

1499
00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:09,640
Yes.

1500
00:59:09,640 --> 00:59:10,640
It was like, uh, curling.

1501
00:59:10,640 --> 00:59:11,640
God, did you see those other people?

1502
00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:12,640
Austin, minimize that.

1503
00:59:12,640 --> 00:59:13,640
I can't hear you.

1504
00:59:13,640 --> 00:59:14,640
You got to spell it right.

1505
00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:15,640
Oh, you got to spell it right.

1506
00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:16,640
Oh my God.

1507
00:59:16,640 --> 00:59:17,640
Look at that.

1508
00:59:17,640 --> 00:59:22,640
The whole fucking list.

1509
00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:26,640
Actually, a lot of a lot of edits.

1510
00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:30,120
Yeah, those are all Antifa people that have been arrested recently.

1511
00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:32,880
Anyway, the big head that he showed early made me think of that guy.

1512
00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:34,880
It looks like Megamind from some cartoon.

1513
00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:36,880
Look at that thing.

1514
00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:37,880
Anyway.

1515
00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:38,880
What?

1516
00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:39,880
Okay.

1517
00:59:39,880 --> 00:59:40,880
Something with the medulla oblongata maybe or?

1518
00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:41,880
He's got something to work.

1519
00:59:41,880 --> 00:59:43,880
Maybe he's got lots of brain folds.

1520
00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:47,560
Maybe he's riding on the back of a motorcycle and got hit in the head or something.

1521
00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:54,160
And what's so frustrating to the Portland police, they see these people every single

1522
00:59:54,160 --> 00:59:55,160
night.

1523
00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:58,920
They arrest them and they go and they're starting to all know each other now.

1524
00:59:58,920 --> 00:59:59,920
Thank you.

1525
00:59:59,920 --> 01:00:00,920
Nice.

1526
01:00:00,920 --> 01:00:01,920
There we go.

1527
01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:02,920
That's great.

1528
01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:03,920
So what are we?

1529
01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:10,320
Uh, I thought, yeah, they're not, they're still releasing them, but the aren't the police

1530
01:00:10,320 --> 01:00:14,720
getting, uh, they're having the ability to extinguish the riots now.

1531
01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:16,080
I mean, they're starting to say,

1532
01:00:16,080 --> 01:00:18,440
I'm getting tired of it, dude, it's been over a hundred days.

1533
01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:22,640
Well, what's happening is, well, the latest in, they're starting to spread.

1534
01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:23,840
So now Rochester, New York.

1535
01:00:23,840 --> 01:00:24,840
Have you seen that footage?

1536
01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:25,840
Yep.

1537
01:00:25,840 --> 01:00:29,120
That's my hometown and where they threw the, they forced people out of the tables and threw

1538
01:00:29,120 --> 01:00:31,080
the tables and chairs on people that were dining.

1539
01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:32,080
That is ridiculous.

1540
01:00:32,080 --> 01:00:33,080
Oh my gosh.

1541
01:00:33,080 --> 01:00:39,000
Some fat bitch got into one of the old folks, picked up the iced tea and she was like, and

1542
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:40,360
drank the iced tea right in front of them.

1543
01:00:40,360 --> 01:00:41,840
Just like all attitudinal and everything?

1544
01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:42,840
Yeah.

1545
01:00:42,840 --> 01:00:43,840
I was like, oh my gosh.

1546
01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:44,840
What is that?

1547
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:45,840
That's...

1548
01:00:45,840 --> 01:00:46,840
That's Black Lives Matter?

1549
01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:47,840
Yes.

1550
01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:49,800
It was a Black Lives Matter march is where it was.

1551
01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:50,800
It's worse.

1552
01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:52,080
It's, it, it's out of control.

1553
01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:58,920
You realize, you realize the civil rights icons of like the sixties would be so disappointed

1554
01:00:58,920 --> 01:01:00,640
and embarrassed by these people.

1555
01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:01,640
Yeah.

1556
01:01:01,640 --> 01:01:02,640
And they were black.

1557
01:01:02,640 --> 01:01:03,640
It's completely non-civil.

1558
01:01:03,640 --> 01:01:10,600
I mean, they're white and black people, but I don't, I don't get, I don't get it.

1559
01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:12,000
I don't believe that's their cause.

1560
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:13,000
That's the reason why.

1561
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:16,320
Dude, if that's not the cause of Black Lives Matter and that they're simply there because

1562
01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:21,000
George Soros is writing a big fat check and everyone is getting lubed up and he's paying

1563
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:23,800
for all these fancy blue tents that they're living in right now.

1564
01:01:23,800 --> 01:01:24,800
They're stirring up shit, man.

1565
01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:26,120
That's all, that's all they want to do.

1566
01:01:26,120 --> 01:01:31,520
Make the, they want to create unrest every night until the election.

1567
01:01:31,520 --> 01:01:36,920
Which the Dems are trying to turn it to make it sound like it's Trump's fault.

1568
01:01:36,920 --> 01:01:37,920
That's right.

1569
01:01:37,920 --> 01:01:38,920
Try it.

1570
01:01:38,920 --> 01:01:39,920
I don't know if they'll succeed.

1571
01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:40,920
Yeah.

1572
01:01:40,920 --> 01:01:45,160
But that's the reason he's created the climate and the culture and, and all the, everything

1573
01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:46,660
that's leading to.

1574
01:01:46,660 --> 01:01:48,360
I don't know how they can say that.

1575
01:01:48,360 --> 01:01:55,520
I mean, cause if, if Trump had his way, he would have the, the place would be impregnable.

1576
01:01:55,520 --> 01:01:57,720
I mean, he would have a fortress.

1577
01:01:57,720 --> 01:01:58,960
He would have the army there.

1578
01:01:58,960 --> 01:02:00,000
But that's the whole point.

1579
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:01,720
That's what they're fighting back against.

1580
01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:06,760
They're claiming that we're one, one step away from, you know, Trump's martial law,

1581
01:02:06,760 --> 01:02:07,760
but that's blah, blah, blah.

1582
01:02:07,760 --> 01:02:08,760
That's not true.

1583
01:02:08,760 --> 01:02:09,760
I know that.

1584
01:02:09,760 --> 01:02:10,760
That's not true.

1585
01:02:10,760 --> 01:02:11,760
But it's fed.

1586
01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:15,960
It's give and take, you know, I think the mayors and the mayors need to step up.

1587
01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:21,760
I mean, I cannot believe that they're allowing this to happen to their citizens.

1588
01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:22,760
Well, are they?

1589
01:02:22,760 --> 01:02:23,760
I mean, it's a shame on them.

1590
01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:26,560
Well, it's because a lot of these mayors are telling the police to stand down.

1591
01:02:26,560 --> 01:02:27,560
That's right.

1592
01:02:27,560 --> 01:02:28,560
I don't think, I think, I think.

1593
01:02:28,560 --> 01:02:30,880
What is the incentive by doing that?

1594
01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:32,400
Keep the job.

1595
01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:33,720
They want the unrest.

1596
01:02:33,720 --> 01:02:34,720
Yeah.

1597
01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:36,320
But for what?

1598
01:02:36,320 --> 01:02:37,320
To make Trump look bad?

1599
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:38,320
To get Trump out of office.

1600
01:02:38,320 --> 01:02:40,720
Dude, this is all about getting Trump out of office.

1601
01:02:40,720 --> 01:02:43,000
This is a despicable.

1602
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:44,000
That's great.

1603
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:45,060
It is despicable.

1604
01:02:45,060 --> 01:02:46,480
It's just outrageous.

1605
01:02:46,480 --> 01:02:47,480
And you know what?

1606
01:02:47,480 --> 01:02:51,960
It now is creating a rise of citizen militias.

1607
01:02:51,960 --> 01:02:56,160
And there's going to be more and more of the of the Kyle Rottenberry or whatever his name

1608
01:02:56,160 --> 01:03:01,180
is, the guy that, you know, in self-defense shot those two other Antifa guys that were

1609
01:03:01,180 --> 01:03:02,180
beating him up.

1610
01:03:02,180 --> 01:03:03,180
He'll get off.

1611
01:03:03,180 --> 01:03:04,180
What's the latest with that?

1612
01:03:04,180 --> 01:03:05,180
I think he will.

1613
01:03:05,180 --> 01:03:09,880
He's got some ace lawyers that are that are working for him right now.

1614
01:03:09,880 --> 01:03:11,200
And there's video footage.

1615
01:03:11,200 --> 01:03:13,360
I know he's gone.

1616
01:03:13,360 --> 01:03:14,360
He's gone.

1617
01:03:14,360 --> 01:03:15,360
A hundred percent self-defense.

1618
01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:16,360
I agree.

1619
01:03:16,360 --> 01:03:17,360
A hundred percent.

1620
01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:20,400
They were coming after him before he took a shot.

1621
01:03:20,400 --> 01:03:21,400
I know.

1622
01:03:21,400 --> 01:03:23,640
Before he took a shot, they were coming after him.

1623
01:03:23,640 --> 01:03:24,640
And you know what?

1624
01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:26,160
Thank God it was that seven.

1625
01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:29,040
If it would have been me, it's hard to say.

1626
01:03:29,040 --> 01:03:30,040
It's hard to say.

1627
01:03:30,040 --> 01:03:33,720
But I would have killed a lot more.

1628
01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:35,760
So it's kind of I'm kind of glad I'm not there.

1629
01:03:35,760 --> 01:03:36,760
Yeah.

1630
01:03:36,760 --> 01:03:38,360
Well, I could be a judge.

1631
01:03:38,360 --> 01:03:41,040
But that's exactly what they're trying to avoid.

1632
01:03:41,040 --> 01:03:46,280
They don't want these situations to where, you know, so citizens militias feel like they

1633
01:03:46,280 --> 01:03:47,280
have to defend.

1634
01:03:47,280 --> 01:03:49,000
I mean, do you have family there right now?

1635
01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:50,000
Yep.

1636
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:51,600
You know, I mean, what are they thinking?

1637
01:03:51,600 --> 01:03:52,880
I mean, they're at home right now.

1638
01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:54,800
Are they going to be marching up the God bless the street?

1639
01:03:54,800 --> 01:03:55,800
Are they armed?

1640
01:03:55,800 --> 01:03:56,800
No.

1641
01:03:56,800 --> 01:03:59,520
So, I mean, what are they going to do to defend themselves?

1642
01:03:59,520 --> 01:04:02,000
Is it relegated to the like downtown area?

1643
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:03,000
Yeah, yeah.

1644
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:04,000
Same kind of thing.

1645
01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:05,440
It's the same like Dallas, right?

1646
01:04:05,440 --> 01:04:10,520
They're at, but it's scary because you don't know where it's going to start.

1647
01:04:10,520 --> 01:04:14,080
You don't you don't know where these guys are going to travel to to make their point.

1648
01:04:14,080 --> 01:04:15,560
Well, they could bust them in.

1649
01:04:15,560 --> 01:04:16,560
That's what happens.

1650
01:04:16,560 --> 01:04:17,560
Man, I'm just.

1651
01:04:17,560 --> 01:04:24,040
Well, they're also very connected on Twitter and we like private accounts.

1652
01:04:24,040 --> 01:04:26,280
No, not even private accounts.

1653
01:04:26,280 --> 01:04:27,280
This we're going to meet at this place.

1654
01:04:27,280 --> 01:04:28,280
Yeah, I've seen them.

1655
01:04:28,280 --> 01:04:29,280
I'll acknowledge.

1656
01:04:29,280 --> 01:04:30,280
100 percent.

1657
01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:32,440
I've seen them because I don't watch Twitter.

1658
01:04:32,440 --> 01:04:33,440
I purposely don't.

1659
01:04:33,440 --> 01:04:34,440
That's how they're too upset.

1660
01:04:34,440 --> 01:04:38,880
That's how the police are tracking them and and are there before they get there.

1661
01:04:38,880 --> 01:04:44,960
They say four o'clock at so and so be there, be ready or whatever.

1662
01:04:44,960 --> 01:04:46,960
You know, where are your stuff?

1663
01:04:46,960 --> 01:04:47,960
Right.

1664
01:04:47,960 --> 01:04:53,920
And and and the new thing is that they're anti press now because what's happening are

1665
01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:56,440
all these videographers are videoing it.

1666
01:04:56,440 --> 01:05:00,160
And that's how the federal again arrested or getting arrested.

1667
01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:04,540
You know, that was one thing I was going to ask because they are there are so many cameras

1668
01:05:04,540 --> 01:05:08,160
out there and they're their biggest thing is kind of like, you know, no, don't film

1669
01:05:08,160 --> 01:05:09,160
me, don't film me.

1670
01:05:09,160 --> 01:05:11,400
But there are so many cameras out there.

1671
01:05:11,400 --> 01:05:14,200
But yeah, we're not seeing any fantastic footage.

1672
01:05:14,200 --> 01:05:15,880
And I'm like, what is going on?

1673
01:05:15,880 --> 01:05:21,760
Well, that's because they are wanting to film it for their cause and put it on their feeds

1674
01:05:21,760 --> 01:05:25,160
to say, look what the police are doing and look what we're doing.

1675
01:05:25,160 --> 01:05:26,160
Is it a problem?

1676
01:05:26,160 --> 01:05:27,160
Some of it is, yes.

1677
01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:30,840
I mean, we've got to have some sort of somebody down there.

1678
01:05:30,840 --> 01:05:35,400
So we got to have our own people down there that are filming and getting some face recognition

1679
01:05:35,400 --> 01:05:36,960
as things set up.

1680
01:05:36,960 --> 01:05:38,160
Why start to get these people?

1681
01:05:38,160 --> 01:05:39,160
Well, there are.

1682
01:05:39,160 --> 01:05:42,440
And that's one of the people that I I just started following them.

1683
01:05:42,440 --> 01:05:48,120
And he's the one who posted some of this stuff and he posts a lot of footage.

1684
01:05:48,120 --> 01:05:49,120
You know what I think?

1685
01:05:49,120 --> 01:05:54,960
Well, just like this, I don't think I'm hoping I'm hoping that towards like, you know, and

1686
01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:59,960
this isn't because I'm thinking that right before Trump gets reelected or right before

1687
01:05:59,960 --> 01:06:05,960
the November happens, maybe the first of October ish, that maybe some something's going to

1688
01:06:05,960 --> 01:06:11,120
come out, something's going to come out where we're going to find out where the money trail

1689
01:06:11,120 --> 01:06:16,040
is coming from, the paper trail for the money that's paying all these guys that get on planes

1690
01:06:16,040 --> 01:06:21,960
to travel from point A to point B because they've got some sort of, you know, some police

1691
01:06:21,960 --> 01:06:27,000
officers are just shot, another black guy, and it's in this community and boom, we'll

1692
01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:32,120
dispatch their their their within two or three days.

1693
01:06:32,120 --> 01:06:33,120
The big group of them.

1694
01:06:33,120 --> 01:06:37,120
You know, so what's the ask in the protest?

1695
01:06:37,120 --> 01:06:38,360
What's the end game?

1696
01:06:38,360 --> 01:06:39,680
I don't think unrest.

1697
01:06:39,680 --> 01:06:41,600
Yeah, it's just unrest.

1698
01:06:41,600 --> 01:06:42,600
I think perpetuity.

1699
01:06:42,600 --> 01:06:46,280
I think to get Trump out of office when a Democrat wins, the funding will stop.

1700
01:06:46,280 --> 01:06:47,720
It goes away and then it goes overnight.

1701
01:06:47,720 --> 01:06:49,520
I think it does.

1702
01:06:49,520 --> 01:06:50,520
Okay.

1703
01:06:50,520 --> 01:06:51,520
Overnight.

1704
01:06:51,520 --> 01:06:55,120
Now, well, OK, there's more to it, though.

1705
01:06:55,120 --> 01:07:01,200
I mean, remember, these are these are and this is the oxymoron of the whole thing.

1706
01:07:01,200 --> 01:07:05,720
You know, aren't traditionally Republicans anti-federalists?

1707
01:07:05,720 --> 01:07:11,240
Wanting less government in general, conservatives, these antifas are big government Republicans

1708
01:07:11,240 --> 01:07:15,840
now that by the very nature of a federalist is they want more government.

1709
01:07:15,840 --> 01:07:19,480
But yet these guys are fighting because they want less government.

1710
01:07:19,480 --> 01:07:20,880
So it doesn't make sense.

1711
01:07:20,880 --> 01:07:27,000
Yeah, they want they want a strong, centralized, utopian government that will force down everybody's

1712
01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:30,160
throats the green and the this and that.

1713
01:07:30,160 --> 01:07:32,480
I mean, so it's not about communism.

1714
01:07:32,480 --> 01:07:33,480
Right.

1715
01:07:33,480 --> 01:07:37,440
They want they want big government that will that will force what they want.

1716
01:07:37,440 --> 01:07:38,640
Correct.

1717
01:07:38,640 --> 01:07:43,040
They are against any government that is against what they want.

1718
01:07:43,040 --> 01:07:44,520
No.

1719
01:07:44,520 --> 01:07:50,160
But what they don't understand is when you advocate for a hugely overpowerful central

1720
01:07:50,160 --> 01:07:53,960
government, you give up your freedoms and bad things happen.

1721
01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:58,160
We hit this last week and I'm still I still don't have the answer for it.

1722
01:07:58,160 --> 01:08:02,120
We may never get the answer for it, but I don't understand why they're not labeled

1723
01:08:02,120 --> 01:08:03,440
a domestic terrorist group.

1724
01:08:03,440 --> 01:08:08,200
I think we're headed there and they need to be headed there after the first week.

1725
01:08:08,200 --> 01:08:13,680
The problem is, it's not I don't think to be labeled a terrorist organization.

1726
01:08:13,680 --> 01:08:18,640
There has to be some sort of organization they are organizing on Twitter.

1727
01:08:18,640 --> 01:08:20,400
Well, yes and no.

1728
01:08:20,400 --> 01:08:21,400
Right.

1729
01:08:21,400 --> 01:08:22,400
It's hard to say.

1730
01:08:22,400 --> 01:08:23,840
So then you get in some serious gray area.

1731
01:08:23,840 --> 01:08:28,120
Anybody who is protesting violently suddenly gets labeled as a terrorist.

1732
01:08:28,120 --> 01:08:32,560
You know, I don't want to be this left wing, right wing thing and pick about pick on Republicans

1733
01:08:32,560 --> 01:08:33,760
and pick on Democrats.

1734
01:08:33,760 --> 01:08:39,760
But for some reason, I feel as if the tables were turned and that was a right wing group

1735
01:08:39,760 --> 01:08:44,320
out there causing the same shenanigans.

1736
01:08:44,320 --> 01:08:45,800
Shit would be hitting the fan.

1737
01:08:45,800 --> 01:08:46,800
Huge.

1738
01:08:46,800 --> 01:08:50,160
The God we would have foreign.

1739
01:08:50,160 --> 01:08:51,400
They would they would annihilate it.

1740
01:08:51,400 --> 01:08:52,400
It would be exterminated.

1741
01:08:52,400 --> 01:08:53,400
Yeah.

1742
01:08:53,400 --> 01:08:54,720
You mean like in Portland or Seattle?

1743
01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:59,440
None of that shit would exist if it was if it was a stone's man.

1744
01:08:59,440 --> 01:09:05,240
It's not my angle, but I just I just feel that because it supports kind of the left's

1745
01:09:05,240 --> 01:09:07,440
agenda that they're doing less about it.

1746
01:09:07,440 --> 01:09:08,440
I totally agree.

1747
01:09:08,440 --> 01:09:12,480
You know, that's a burden of position to.

1748
01:09:12,480 --> 01:09:19,520
I mean, actually, I was in a conversation with a strong Democratic person the other

1749
01:09:19,520 --> 01:09:21,560
week and they made a really good point.

1750
01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:24,720
Actually, they said, why?

1751
01:09:24,720 --> 01:09:30,420
Why when I exchange with Republicans, they get so mad and defensive?

1752
01:09:30,420 --> 01:09:33,120
And I said, well, why do you think so?

1753
01:09:33,120 --> 01:09:34,120
I flipped back.

1754
01:09:34,120 --> 01:09:38,260
They said, well, because they don't want anything to change.

1755
01:09:38,260 --> 01:09:42,280
That got my mind spinning into an interesting theory.

1756
01:09:42,280 --> 01:09:46,160
Everyone's always going to be in a position of power or influence in any organization.

1757
01:09:46,160 --> 01:09:49,240
You're going to have a little bit more than someone else.

1758
01:09:49,240 --> 01:09:56,960
And if the I'll take a stretch here, this is my part, only me editorializing if a lot

1759
01:09:56,960 --> 01:10:04,760
of the Republicans slant is capitalism, make what you can seize opportunity, pursue happiness,

1760
01:10:04,760 --> 01:10:06,320
which is the power rests in the self.

1761
01:10:06,320 --> 01:10:09,000
And if you win the game, you're winning the game.

1762
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:12,000
People aren't winning the game want to change the rules.

1763
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:18,960
And so the Democrats are constantly wanting the rules changed and they're selling equality

1764
01:10:18,960 --> 01:10:21,680
and everyone's going to have the same.

1765
01:10:21,680 --> 01:10:25,780
And the Republicans are saying, hey, we worked hard for positions of power and influence

1766
01:10:25,780 --> 01:10:27,680
and privilege.

1767
01:10:27,680 --> 01:10:30,720
We don't want to necessarily give those up willy nilly.

1768
01:10:30,720 --> 01:10:35,840
That's a tough bridge to to cross over.

1769
01:10:35,840 --> 01:10:37,560
And there's some real stuff in there.

1770
01:10:37,560 --> 01:10:39,080
Not all that's wrong.

1771
01:10:39,080 --> 01:10:40,880
That's the hard part is to say.

1772
01:10:40,880 --> 01:10:42,940
That is a tough topic.

1773
01:10:42,940 --> 01:10:44,840
And that's the one I'm like, so what's the ask?

1774
01:10:44,840 --> 01:10:45,840
Right.

1775
01:10:45,840 --> 01:10:46,840
You approach it.

1776
01:10:46,840 --> 01:10:49,880
Now, there are tons of people who like to just get subsidized to go, like Jeff said,

1777
01:10:49,880 --> 01:10:50,880
be bad people.

1778
01:10:50,880 --> 01:10:51,880
Right.

1779
01:10:51,880 --> 01:10:52,880
Like substitute teacher.

1780
01:10:52,880 --> 01:10:53,880
Right.

1781
01:10:53,880 --> 01:10:57,760
It was always Willie in the corner that like was the bad guy in class because we have a

1782
01:10:57,760 --> 01:10:58,760
sub.

1783
01:10:58,760 --> 01:10:59,760
Right.

1784
01:10:59,760 --> 01:11:00,760
So people are like, man, I can go just do unrest.

1785
01:11:00,760 --> 01:11:02,800
But on my resume, I can say protested for a cause.

1786
01:11:02,800 --> 01:11:07,320
Like, there's a lot of people with not good intentions participating in all sorts of things.

1787
01:11:07,320 --> 01:11:11,640
And but, you know, how do you talk real about people that says there's going to be no organization

1788
01:11:11,640 --> 01:11:16,320
in the world that doesn't have some discrepancy in power?

1789
01:11:16,320 --> 01:11:17,320
There's just not.

1790
01:11:17,320 --> 01:11:20,560
And that's why when you said there's no such thing as utopia long term, I thought that's

1791
01:11:20,560 --> 01:11:25,920
where you were going to go is there's no organization that has order that doesn't have certain

1792
01:11:25,920 --> 01:11:28,240
degrees of influence and power.

1793
01:11:28,240 --> 01:11:30,680
And you've got to be in certain positions to do that.

1794
01:11:30,680 --> 01:11:34,520
And that's a that's a tough that's a tough one to navigate.

1795
01:11:34,520 --> 01:11:36,080
But think your control.

1796
01:11:36,080 --> 01:11:41,360
Well, I think your comment about Republicans being in power, but Republicans are not in

1797
01:11:41,360 --> 01:11:42,360
power.

1798
01:11:42,360 --> 01:11:46,080
I don't know what that I don't know what you mean by that.

1799
01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:48,320
I think what I mean is right or wrong.

1800
01:11:48,320 --> 01:11:56,000
The association is that most people who have accumulated more of what they wanted America

1801
01:11:56,000 --> 01:11:57,320
to be for them.

1802
01:11:57,320 --> 01:12:06,040
So status, money, position, wealth are probably slanting Republican because it's a you acquire

1803
01:12:06,040 --> 01:12:08,480
you make of it what you make of it.

1804
01:12:08,480 --> 01:12:10,040
And I agree with that.

1805
01:12:10,040 --> 01:12:13,960
And I think a lot of Democratic people are more of the I don't have as much as the next

1806
01:12:13,960 --> 01:12:14,960
guy.

1807
01:12:14,960 --> 01:12:17,920
Now, I may not have worked as hard to get it, but I'd sure like more.

1808
01:12:17,920 --> 01:12:20,920
Can't we all spread it out evenly?

1809
01:12:20,920 --> 01:12:23,480
And I think what happens is that's right or wrong.

1810
01:12:23,480 --> 01:12:29,040
I think that's a label that goes with, oh, well, Randy, you must be Republican because,

1811
01:12:29,040 --> 01:12:32,480
you know, financially, you like to keep all the stuff you get.

1812
01:12:32,480 --> 01:12:34,880
I think that's I think there's some some of that.

1813
01:12:34,880 --> 01:12:37,760
And so there's a always you don't want to spread it around.

1814
01:12:37,760 --> 01:12:41,160
You want to keep it yourself kind of stigmas.

1815
01:12:41,160 --> 01:12:44,800
That's where I think some of this gets bent.

1816
01:12:44,800 --> 01:12:46,600
So go ahead.

1817
01:12:46,600 --> 01:12:48,960
Yeah, no, I don't know.

1818
01:12:48,960 --> 01:12:53,640
I'm conflicted with that because I think that that is the American way.

1819
01:12:53,640 --> 01:12:54,640
Right.

1820
01:12:54,640 --> 01:12:55,640
This is America.

1821
01:12:55,640 --> 01:12:57,440
And that's what America is built on.

1822
01:12:57,440 --> 01:13:00,360
And I think what some of the messaging that's going around out there right now is they want

1823
01:13:00,360 --> 01:13:04,120
to change the fabric of what that is.

1824
01:13:04,120 --> 01:13:10,200
And I don't think it's a Republican or a Democrat because there's some extremely wealthy

1825
01:13:10,200 --> 01:13:14,080
Democrats out there who don't want to give their money up and their power.

1826
01:13:14,080 --> 01:13:15,440
Right.

1827
01:13:15,440 --> 01:13:16,840
That's not just a Republican thing.

1828
01:13:16,840 --> 01:13:19,960
I think it's Republican and Democrat.

1829
01:13:19,960 --> 01:13:24,360
And if you if you are successful, you don't want to give it up.

1830
01:13:24,360 --> 01:13:25,360
Right.

1831
01:13:25,360 --> 01:13:26,360
Right.

1832
01:13:26,360 --> 01:13:27,960
Regardless of Democrat or Republican.

1833
01:13:27,960 --> 01:13:29,800
So I don't know if I necessarily agree with that.

1834
01:13:29,800 --> 01:13:34,960
I think what the message that these people are trying to get or do is they're trying

1835
01:13:34,960 --> 01:13:40,960
to fundamentally change what America is.

1836
01:13:40,960 --> 01:13:42,800
But why are they doing it?

1837
01:13:42,800 --> 01:13:43,800
Because they don't have anything.

1838
01:13:43,800 --> 01:13:44,800
Right.

1839
01:13:44,800 --> 01:13:46,400
Because they want more of it and they don't like the rules of the game.

1840
01:13:46,400 --> 01:13:48,800
Yeah, but I don't see that as a Republican or Democrat thing.

1841
01:13:48,800 --> 01:13:49,800
I see that.

1842
01:13:49,800 --> 01:13:56,840
But the people that are fighting for this, they associate themselves more with Democrat

1843
01:13:56,840 --> 01:13:58,000
than Republican.

1844
01:13:58,000 --> 01:14:00,320
That's what I'm that's why I was added to.

1845
01:14:00,320 --> 01:14:02,520
That's what I was saying is it's sticky.

1846
01:14:02,520 --> 01:14:03,520
But why is that?

1847
01:14:03,520 --> 01:14:08,160
Well, look, it's that's look, if you were to I mean, look at Lord of the Flies.

1848
01:14:08,160 --> 01:14:11,280
I mean, what a brilliant book.

1849
01:14:11,280 --> 01:14:18,760
You take a bunch of kids, all the adults died and we watch law be decided by juveniles.

1850
01:14:18,760 --> 01:14:23,080
And we've got some kids voicing or animal farm, any of that.

1851
01:14:23,080 --> 01:14:25,920
There's some that are like, everything's equal.

1852
01:14:25,920 --> 01:14:28,040
Everybody gets the same, whether you work hard or not.

1853
01:14:28,040 --> 01:14:30,920
And then you've got other people going, hey, this guy's sitting around all day and I'm

1854
01:14:30,920 --> 01:14:35,580
fishing for 12 hours and I'm catching 30 fish and he's three fish night three fish.

1855
01:14:35,580 --> 01:14:39,720
That's a real human condition that you're right is that the fabric of what I love about

1856
01:14:39,720 --> 01:14:45,400
America is think about how we've evolved from 300 years ago when we were part of England.

1857
01:14:45,400 --> 01:14:48,160
And if you didn't have noble blood, you could not do anything.

1858
01:14:48,160 --> 01:14:49,160
Right.

1859
01:14:49,160 --> 01:14:50,800
You were destined to you were capped in life.

1860
01:14:50,800 --> 01:14:52,280
It's like a caste system.

1861
01:14:52,280 --> 01:14:53,280
Right.

1862
01:14:53,280 --> 01:14:57,040
And so when when we came over here, we're like that no way, man.

1863
01:14:57,040 --> 01:14:59,120
You could be anybody, any blood.

1864
01:14:59,120 --> 01:15:00,120
You can.

1865
01:15:00,120 --> 01:15:01,620
So OK, so we evolved on that one.

1866
01:15:01,620 --> 01:15:02,620
Now we got some more to do.

1867
01:15:02,620 --> 01:15:04,920
But yeah, that's a that's a human issue all the way.

1868
01:15:04,920 --> 01:15:11,200
There's the there's the those two types of polarized personalities of how you approach

1869
01:15:11,200 --> 01:15:13,160
life is is tough to navigate.

1870
01:15:13,160 --> 01:15:19,580
I also think it's it's the Democrats have themselves in a pickle because for years you

1871
01:15:19,580 --> 01:15:26,160
had socialism, you had Democrats, you had Republicans like Bernie Sanders.

1872
01:15:26,160 --> 01:15:28,960
He's not a member of the Democratic Party.

1873
01:15:28,960 --> 01:15:29,960
Correct.

1874
01:15:29,960 --> 01:15:37,280
And now it seems like the Democrat Party is getting hijacked by the socialists, which

1875
01:15:37,280 --> 01:15:40,000
is a different mindset altogether.

1876
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:41,000
Correct.

1877
01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:49,080
The Democrats of even 40 years ago is not what we have today.

1878
01:15:49,080 --> 01:15:51,760
And Joe Biden was part of that 40 years ago, by the way.

1879
01:15:51,760 --> 01:15:56,200
And you know, you know, you always hear, you know, that's crazy, too, to think about that.

1880
01:15:56,200 --> 01:16:05,920
You know, and JFK, you hear today would be nothing.

1881
01:16:05,920 --> 01:16:09,480
Or he's not part of what the Democrat Party is today.

1882
01:16:09,480 --> 01:16:10,960
Not even close.

1883
01:16:10,960 --> 01:16:16,720
And I think that's some of the message I want to get to is I think the Democrat Party has

1884
01:16:16,720 --> 01:16:19,760
been been hijacked by this message.

1885
01:16:19,760 --> 01:16:21,920
And a lot of it's Bernie and his bros.

1886
01:16:21,920 --> 01:16:26,040
Well, Trump, Trump isn't necessarily a Republican either.

1887
01:16:26,040 --> 01:16:31,320
I mean, the Republican Party has taken him on, but he's not a Republican.

1888
01:16:31,320 --> 01:16:34,560
He's more of an independent in the center kind.

1889
01:16:34,560 --> 01:16:39,560
And I just think the rules of engagement have completely changed.

1890
01:16:39,560 --> 01:16:41,040
It needs a reboot.

1891
01:16:41,040 --> 01:16:45,080
And I think they need to come up with a set of rules.

1892
01:16:45,080 --> 01:16:46,080
Hold on.

1893
01:16:46,080 --> 01:16:51,840
A set of definitions of what is and start posing the questions.

1894
01:16:51,840 --> 01:16:53,840
What do we want from our government?

1895
01:16:53,840 --> 01:16:55,280
Do we want this?

1896
01:16:55,280 --> 01:16:57,520
And maybe don't call them Democrats.

1897
01:16:57,520 --> 01:16:59,840
Maybe take away the donkey.

1898
01:16:59,840 --> 01:17:00,840
Take away the elephant.

1899
01:17:00,840 --> 01:17:06,600
But just start redefining the definitions of what we're at, where we're going.

1900
01:17:06,600 --> 01:17:08,640
Nobody wants to be a communist country.

1901
01:17:08,640 --> 01:17:10,720
Bring the wigs back.

1902
01:17:10,720 --> 01:17:20,440
Dude, look, there are folks out there and there's a lot of them that agree that the

1903
01:17:20,440 --> 01:17:22,520
communism should be the way to go.

1904
01:17:22,520 --> 01:17:23,520
There's a lot of them out there.

1905
01:17:23,520 --> 01:17:26,120
What is the foundation of that belief?

1906
01:17:26,120 --> 01:17:27,120
Ignorance.

1907
01:17:27,120 --> 01:17:28,120
Why do they believe that?

1908
01:17:28,120 --> 01:17:29,120
That's the only thing I can say.

1909
01:17:29,120 --> 01:17:31,120
Well, who's teaching them that, though?

1910
01:17:31,120 --> 01:17:32,120
Exactly.

1911
01:17:32,120 --> 01:17:33,120
Or how are they going to learn that?

1912
01:17:33,120 --> 01:17:34,120
Hold on.

1913
01:17:34,120 --> 01:17:35,480
It's all in how you frame it, right?

1914
01:17:35,480 --> 01:17:37,440
If you say, what is the role of government?

1915
01:17:37,440 --> 01:17:43,360
Do you believe that the government should be strong, powerful, and have the ability

1916
01:17:43,360 --> 01:17:46,320
to make life fair for everyone?

1917
01:17:46,320 --> 01:17:53,300
Make it so that the wealthy can give a bigger part of their share and wealth redistribution?

1918
01:17:53,300 --> 01:17:56,320
If you phrase it like that, people can go, yeah, yeah, yeah.

1919
01:17:56,320 --> 01:17:57,760
Do you want to be a communist country?

1920
01:17:57,760 --> 01:18:00,160
They'll go, oh, hell no.

1921
01:18:00,160 --> 01:18:04,720
Because they associate communism with a totalitarian state, right?

1922
01:18:04,720 --> 01:18:09,680
Don, even more, they associate it with Russia.

1923
01:18:09,680 --> 01:18:11,440
That's the only media education they have.

1924
01:18:11,440 --> 01:18:12,440
That's right.

1925
01:18:12,440 --> 01:18:17,560
And what that is, is an extremely strong, powerful central government that controls

1926
01:18:17,560 --> 01:18:22,600
the lives of everyone because they make the decisions on what is equality.

1927
01:18:22,600 --> 01:18:27,480
Equality in food, equality in money, equality in health care.

1928
01:18:27,480 --> 01:18:28,480
They don't know that.

1929
01:18:28,480 --> 01:18:30,720
All they're thinking about is the equal distribution.

1930
01:18:30,720 --> 01:18:32,000
That's the danger.

1931
01:18:32,000 --> 01:18:33,760
That's the danger of socialism.

1932
01:18:33,760 --> 01:18:41,320
That's the danger of any large, centralized, powerful government that is empowered and

1933
01:18:41,320 --> 01:18:47,900
actually even more, not only empowered, but leaned upon to answer those questions for

1934
01:18:47,900 --> 01:18:51,360
all of us because bad things happen.

1935
01:18:51,360 --> 01:18:56,520
When nature takes over, power becomes corrupt, right?

1936
01:18:56,520 --> 01:19:03,720
And then from that point on, as soon as you give up your individual rights for the state,

1937
01:19:03,720 --> 01:19:09,400
for the cause, for the broader goal, for the green utopia, you can call it whatever you

1938
01:19:09,400 --> 01:19:10,400
want.

1939
01:19:10,400 --> 01:19:14,320
As soon as you give up your individual rights, state's rights, individual rights, whatever,

1940
01:19:14,320 --> 01:19:18,600
to a central power, it's going to go bad.

1941
01:19:18,600 --> 01:19:20,160
And we do not learn from history.

1942
01:19:20,160 --> 01:19:23,360
No, yeah, well, that's a fact.

1943
01:19:23,360 --> 01:19:31,000
You know, there's, to chime in on that, the folks I was talking about specifically, I've

1944
01:19:31,000 --> 01:19:34,360
met groups of people.

1945
01:19:34,360 --> 01:19:38,480
There were some guys that worked for me.

1946
01:19:38,480 --> 01:19:44,040
They were performers, musicians, and they would, they do DJ work for me in karaoke and

1947
01:19:44,040 --> 01:19:46,720
they perform some live shows, doing some stuff.

1948
01:19:46,720 --> 01:19:52,000
All of them were going to school, UNT, and they're fantastic performers.

1949
01:19:52,000 --> 01:19:54,720
However, they're brainwashed.

1950
01:19:54,720 --> 01:20:01,200
You know, I had to delete them off of Facebook because it was creating anxiety for me because

1951
01:20:01,200 --> 01:20:03,960
every time I'd see it, I'm just like, it's toxic.

1952
01:20:03,960 --> 01:20:04,960
Absolutely.

1953
01:20:04,960 --> 01:20:08,760
And when I would chime in, I'd be like, yeah, that's not true.

1954
01:20:08,760 --> 01:20:13,520
All of a sudden, you'd have 14 people come out of the woodwork and just start spouting

1955
01:20:13,520 --> 01:20:16,200
off horrible stuff.

1956
01:20:16,200 --> 01:20:17,200
A bunch of hate.

1957
01:20:17,200 --> 01:20:22,240
You know, and it just like nothing that was even relative to the conversation.

1958
01:20:22,240 --> 01:20:26,080
And I just, I got rid of it and that's the group.

1959
01:20:26,080 --> 01:20:30,520
There's some people up at Filtered and they're the same way.

1960
01:20:30,520 --> 01:20:34,760
They're educated, but they just got done with school.

1961
01:20:34,760 --> 01:20:37,480
I think the school systems are teaching it completely.

1962
01:20:37,480 --> 01:20:39,040
Colleges for sure.

1963
01:20:39,040 --> 01:20:46,320
Hey, I'll admit when I graduated, I was a Clinton voter because I was a young kid graduate

1964
01:20:46,320 --> 01:20:49,000
with no assets.

1965
01:20:49,000 --> 01:20:51,000
And the idea of no experience or anything.

1966
01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:54,480
And the idea of spreading it around and helping other people out.

1967
01:20:54,480 --> 01:20:56,640
I grew up poor and I graduated poor.

1968
01:20:56,640 --> 01:20:57,640
Seemed like the right thing to do.

1969
01:20:57,640 --> 01:20:59,720
So I'm like, shit, I could use a little help.

1970
01:20:59,720 --> 01:21:01,200
And I didn't have any malice towards anybody.

1971
01:21:01,200 --> 01:21:03,160
I'm like, that sounds decent to me.

1972
01:21:03,160 --> 01:21:04,800
Well, at least you knew the difference.

1973
01:21:04,800 --> 01:21:05,800
Yeah.

1974
01:21:05,800 --> 01:21:06,800
Okay.

1975
01:21:06,800 --> 01:21:07,800
Fair.

1976
01:21:07,800 --> 01:21:08,800
And then now, you know, older, I guess.

1977
01:21:08,800 --> 01:21:09,800
I got a lot of things.

1978
01:21:09,800 --> 01:21:10,800
So I'm like, you know, everybody kind of...

1979
01:21:10,800 --> 01:21:11,800
Well, that's typically the progress, right?

1980
01:21:11,800 --> 01:21:12,800
Yeah.

1981
01:21:12,800 --> 01:21:16,520
I mean, you have the holdouts and you have the old Democrats, but that's typically the

1982
01:21:16,520 --> 01:21:17,520
progress.

1983
01:21:17,520 --> 01:21:24,080
The young college educated folks, when they come out of school, now they have a shitload

1984
01:21:24,080 --> 01:21:25,080
of debt.

1985
01:21:25,080 --> 01:21:26,600
They're like, how am I going to get out of this?

1986
01:21:26,600 --> 01:21:29,600
That's why they want free college.

1987
01:21:29,600 --> 01:21:34,480
And once they get out of that and they start making their money, now it's like, I don't

1988
01:21:34,480 --> 01:21:36,040
want to give any of this away.

1989
01:21:36,040 --> 01:21:37,880
I've worked hard to get this.

1990
01:21:37,880 --> 01:21:39,960
Based on individual merit and accomplishment.

1991
01:21:39,960 --> 01:21:40,960
Yeah.

1992
01:21:40,960 --> 01:21:42,880
They know they worked hard for that.

1993
01:21:42,880 --> 01:21:43,880
You know, I...

1994
01:21:43,880 --> 01:21:45,160
It changes the mental psyche.

1995
01:21:45,160 --> 01:21:47,840
I saw a fascinating video of...

1996
01:21:47,840 --> 01:21:52,600
I can't remember who was going around asking the questions of college students.

1997
01:21:52,600 --> 01:21:55,880
And the question was about socialism.

1998
01:21:55,880 --> 01:22:01,240
And about, you know, he would first ask about, you know, is it okay to, you know, take money

1999
01:22:01,240 --> 01:22:04,200
from a rich person to spread to the less fortunate?

2000
01:22:04,200 --> 01:22:05,200
Yeah, that's great.

2001
01:22:05,200 --> 01:22:06,200
That's great.

2002
01:22:06,200 --> 01:22:07,200
That's great.

2003
01:22:07,200 --> 01:22:09,760
So let's talk about...

2004
01:22:09,760 --> 01:22:12,520
Let's translate that into your school.

2005
01:22:12,520 --> 01:22:19,480
So you're getting a 4.0 and there's someone down here getting a 2.0.

2006
01:22:19,480 --> 01:22:22,800
Well, you have more than enough.

2007
01:22:22,800 --> 01:22:27,000
Can you give some of your grade point to someone to get the two point to get them up to a three

2008
01:22:27,000 --> 01:22:28,000
point?

2009
01:22:28,000 --> 01:22:29,000
Yeah, why not?

2010
01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:31,560
And they're like, well, no, I worked hard for that.

2011
01:22:31,560 --> 01:22:32,640
I studied.

2012
01:22:32,640 --> 01:22:34,560
This person down here didn't study.

2013
01:22:34,560 --> 01:22:35,560
So I'm not willing...

2014
01:22:35,560 --> 01:22:36,560
They smoke dope all day.

2015
01:22:36,560 --> 01:22:37,960
I'm not willing to give any of that up.

2016
01:22:37,960 --> 01:22:41,640
Well, you just said it was okay for someone to give money that they worked hard for.

2017
01:22:41,640 --> 01:22:42,640
It's a great analogy.

2018
01:22:42,640 --> 01:22:45,680
And they were just like, you see the light bulb go off.

2019
01:22:45,680 --> 01:22:56,200
So why don't we have a series done by responsible people and it's a dozen hour long things about

2020
01:22:56,200 --> 01:23:01,680
investigating a socialist government, investigating a communist government and outline these things

2021
01:23:01,680 --> 01:23:05,560
so people could actually watch this stuff and know what the heck it would mean in reality.

2022
01:23:05,560 --> 01:23:06,560
And make an intelligent decision.

2023
01:23:06,560 --> 01:23:09,360
And educate people instead of soundbite people.

2024
01:23:09,360 --> 01:23:13,760
I just read a study, I don't know if it was by Microsoft or a university that said the

2025
01:23:13,760 --> 01:23:21,200
attention span of US citizens has gone from 12 seconds to eight seconds since 2000.

2026
01:23:21,200 --> 01:23:24,960
So in 20 years, we've lost 33% of our attention span.

2027
01:23:24,960 --> 01:23:25,960
Smartphone, yeah.

2028
01:23:25,960 --> 01:23:26,960
You're right.

2029
01:23:26,960 --> 01:23:32,400
And like you said, it's just easier to brainwash soundbite parrot.

2030
01:23:32,400 --> 01:23:38,200
Read three words of the 100 word article or come to a conclusion and everybody's soundbite

2031
01:23:38,200 --> 01:23:42,040
and tweets each other and no one does this.

2032
01:23:42,040 --> 01:23:47,440
Talk and have a conversation and they're lost.

2033
01:23:47,440 --> 01:23:53,240
And I think anyone who doesn't know how to swim, who's in the notion is scared.

2034
01:23:53,240 --> 01:23:57,640
And if you're not educated, you're in a notion and you don't know how to swim.

2035
01:23:57,640 --> 01:23:59,380
You don't have the tools.

2036
01:23:59,380 --> 01:24:03,720
And so that's why they're all brainwashed thinking Stalin's going to throw me a life

2037
01:24:03,720 --> 01:24:04,720
after self-loathing.

2038
01:24:04,720 --> 01:24:09,960
I mean, that's kind of what they're saying that the black population is dependent on

2039
01:24:09,960 --> 01:24:15,680
the Democratic Party because they have in essence brainwashed them for decades and decades

2040
01:24:15,680 --> 01:24:20,480
saying you can trust us.

2041
01:24:20,480 --> 01:24:23,920
You're not going to get this help from anybody else.

2042
01:24:23,920 --> 01:24:27,300
You're not going to get them from the Republicans.

2043
01:24:27,300 --> 01:24:29,200
This party is the party that's going to help you.

2044
01:24:29,200 --> 01:24:30,200
But they don't better.

2045
01:24:30,200 --> 01:24:31,200
And they don't.

2046
01:24:31,200 --> 01:24:32,200
They don't better them.

2047
01:24:32,200 --> 01:24:34,720
All they do is get their votes and stay in power.

2048
01:24:34,720 --> 01:24:40,080
Well, and that's why if the Democrats win in November, one thing that'll be interesting

2049
01:24:40,080 --> 01:24:44,840
is two years after that, are those people's lives better?

2050
01:24:44,840 --> 01:24:46,960
Are they materially different?

2051
01:24:46,960 --> 01:24:53,440
And hopefully they're smart enough to analyze that and quantify that and come to their own

2052
01:24:53,440 --> 01:24:54,440
conclusion.

2053
01:24:54,440 --> 01:24:55,440
And you know what?

2054
01:24:55,440 --> 01:24:57,640
In Trump's case, their lives were better.

2055
01:24:57,640 --> 01:24:58,640
Yeah.

2056
01:24:58,640 --> 01:25:01,080
It's worse than the wallet, I'll tell you that.

2057
01:25:01,080 --> 01:25:02,080
Yeah.

2058
01:25:02,080 --> 01:25:03,560
Well, yeah, possibly.

2059
01:25:03,560 --> 01:25:09,320
But the, you know, we're talking about, you know, the black community being Democrat.

2060
01:25:09,320 --> 01:25:12,240
Not all of them, of course, but a lot of them, their lives were better.

2061
01:25:12,240 --> 01:25:13,240
Yeah.

2062
01:25:13,240 --> 01:25:14,240
Right?

2063
01:25:14,240 --> 01:25:15,240
From low unemployment, all that kind of stuff.

2064
01:25:15,240 --> 01:25:16,240
A lot of the things.

2065
01:25:16,240 --> 01:25:17,240
Higher wages.

2066
01:25:17,240 --> 01:25:21,800
The, the, uh, the, uh, the historically black colleges, what do they call them?

2067
01:25:21,800 --> 01:25:23,520
The HBCs or something like that.

2068
01:25:23,520 --> 01:25:25,040
Um, you know, he did a lot.

2069
01:25:25,040 --> 01:25:28,280
He did a lot of jail reform and stuff like that.

2070
01:25:28,280 --> 01:25:36,600
So there's a lot out there that's improved a big segment of this, uh, society that, um,

2071
01:25:36,600 --> 01:25:38,960
we'll just have to see what happens in November.

2072
01:25:38,960 --> 01:25:41,680
So here's, here's the problem we've talked about a little bit too.

2073
01:25:41,680 --> 01:25:47,280
You've got two work, co-workers, well, A and B. Both of them get the exact same result

2074
01:25:47,280 --> 01:25:49,240
at the end of the job of a project.

2075
01:25:49,240 --> 01:25:50,240
Yeah.

2076
01:25:50,240 --> 01:25:51,840
They both do the same job.

2077
01:25:51,840 --> 01:25:55,240
One's kind of an asshole through it and one is nice to work with.

2078
01:25:55,240 --> 01:25:56,240
Right.

2079
01:25:56,240 --> 01:25:57,880
Who do you pick to work with moving forward?

2080
01:25:57,880 --> 01:25:59,680
And that's where Trump just hasn't helped himself.

2081
01:25:59,680 --> 01:26:05,840
I mean, just, you just don't have to be, you're getting great results, but the way you got

2082
01:26:05,840 --> 01:26:07,280
there, come on man.

2083
01:26:07,280 --> 01:26:08,280
Yup.

2084
01:26:08,280 --> 01:26:09,280
I agree.

2085
01:26:09,280 --> 01:26:12,880
I think we all agree that he needs to, he needs to tone it back.

2086
01:26:12,880 --> 01:26:13,880
He never will though.

2087
01:26:13,880 --> 01:26:22,760
This analogy is, uh, uh, I know this general contractor and he was a complete asshole,

2088
01:26:22,760 --> 01:26:23,760
complete asshole.

2089
01:26:23,760 --> 01:26:24,760
Doesn't have good people skills.

2090
01:26:24,760 --> 01:26:28,080
My point is, is that he does fantastic work.

2091
01:26:28,080 --> 01:26:36,880
He does fantastic work and some of his clients are, uh, they have their reservations, uh,

2092
01:26:36,880 --> 01:26:40,200
rehiring him to do the second part of their job.

2093
01:26:40,200 --> 01:26:43,480
And some of them they have, some of them they haven't, but I'll be frank with you.

2094
01:26:43,480 --> 01:26:49,680
I mean, a lot of the times that the, the job, well, my point is he's an example too.

2095
01:26:49,680 --> 01:26:50,680
Complete asshole.

2096
01:26:50,680 --> 01:26:55,840
Uh, but you know, I, I think for the sake of Donald Trump and what he does, I think

2097
01:26:55,840 --> 01:27:02,160
that if he doesn't have a second, uh, it, it'll be, I don't want to say a catastrophe,

2098
01:27:02,160 --> 01:27:10,520
but uh, all the things that Obama has done, I believe Trump has undone, you know, and

2099
01:27:10,520 --> 01:27:12,000
I don't, I don't have a list.

2100
01:27:12,000 --> 01:27:16,960
Actually, I would like to see a list, uh, if that's available of all the things that

2101
01:27:16,960 --> 01:27:18,300
he has undone.

2102
01:27:18,300 --> 01:27:23,720
And I think that, um, it would be a crying shame to have the things that Trump started

2103
01:27:23,720 --> 01:27:30,720
undone, because he's pulling back the, all the regulations that are holding down the

2104
01:27:30,720 --> 01:27:34,680
small businesses in the United States that make us who we are.

2105
01:27:34,680 --> 01:27:39,520
All businesses, but yeah, all businesses, but I think, well, all businesses and bringing

2106
01:27:39,520 --> 01:27:40,520
them back.

2107
01:27:40,520 --> 01:27:45,120
And I just, I think it's right, even though it, uh, prior, prior conversations, Jeff,

2108
01:27:45,120 --> 01:27:50,880
it directly impacts your company and you, your company's feeling it with the, um, the

2109
01:27:50,880 --> 01:27:53,160
tariffs that are applied applied.

2110
01:27:53,160 --> 01:27:59,840
But at the same time, I think in the long run, it's going to make our country even better

2111
01:27:59,840 --> 01:28:03,040
because you just have to prepare for it.

2112
01:28:03,040 --> 01:28:10,040
If you get used to not having to pay shit, you know, that's, they get used to that.

2113
01:28:10,040 --> 01:28:16,400
So you know, we can just do away with tariffs and then the big reply is, other spots says,

2114
01:28:16,400 --> 01:28:18,120
whoa, easy now.

2115
01:28:18,120 --> 01:28:20,560
No, we can, no, no, no, really, we can get rid of tariffs.

2116
01:28:20,560 --> 01:28:22,000
Let's just get rid of it for everybody.

2117
01:28:22,000 --> 01:28:24,280
There's the spirit of all the tariffs.

2118
01:28:24,280 --> 01:28:28,920
We'll pay the actual stamp of the posted stamp on getting it from point a to point B and

2119
01:28:28,920 --> 01:28:33,040
we'll just get rid of the tariffs and all they want to do that.

2120
01:28:33,040 --> 01:28:36,080
So well, you got to ask yourself why somebody's making money.

2121
01:28:36,080 --> 01:28:37,080
Yeah.

2122
01:28:37,080 --> 01:28:40,120
It's just, it only makes sense for everyone to make money.

2123
01:28:40,120 --> 01:28:43,160
If they're going to do it, be fair.

2124
01:28:43,160 --> 01:28:45,680
I think I went on a rant about tariffs.

2125
01:28:45,680 --> 01:28:47,720
It's kind of cloudy.

2126
01:28:47,720 --> 01:28:48,720
Yeah.

2127
01:28:48,720 --> 01:28:54,880
Between you and him, Bob and the fucking or a little bit that she mentioned it anyway.

2128
01:28:54,880 --> 01:28:55,880
Yeah.

2129
01:28:55,880 --> 01:28:58,800
It was a bourbon infused, but you know what?

2130
01:28:58,800 --> 01:28:59,800
But rightfully so though.

2131
01:28:59,800 --> 01:29:02,040
You, you said a lot of things that were, that were true.

2132
01:29:02,040 --> 01:29:08,920
I mean, for your specific company, when you order $3 million worth of parts and you, you,

2133
01:29:08,920 --> 01:29:13,140
you have to pay the tariffs to have it get come in and then they don't want it.

2134
01:29:13,140 --> 01:29:14,640
You have to pay for it to go back out.

2135
01:29:14,640 --> 01:29:17,000
I mean, come on, that's not worth it.

2136
01:29:17,000 --> 01:29:23,880
And to me, that sounds like a mismanagement on the contractual terms that your, your no,

2137
01:29:23,880 --> 01:29:24,880
it's caught.

2138
01:29:24,880 --> 01:29:25,880
No, not the bosses.

2139
01:29:25,880 --> 01:29:29,440
It's called the OEM understanding it.

2140
01:29:29,440 --> 01:29:33,240
And they're bypassing the U S to ship straight to Canada from Hong Kong.

2141
01:29:33,240 --> 01:29:35,240
Are they just driving it over on a bus?

2142
01:29:35,240 --> 01:29:39,400
No, they're no, it's going either by boat or by plane.

2143
01:29:39,400 --> 01:29:41,400
So it leaves Hong Kong and it goes into Canada.

2144
01:29:41,400 --> 01:29:42,400
Yeah.

2145
01:29:42,400 --> 01:29:43,400
It doesn't touch us.

2146
01:29:43,400 --> 01:29:44,400
So it doesn't incur a tariff.

2147
01:29:44,400 --> 01:29:45,400
Yeah.

2148
01:29:45,400 --> 01:29:46,400
So Canada sells it to us.

2149
01:29:46,400 --> 01:29:49,080
No, I have customers in Canada.

2150
01:29:49,080 --> 01:29:53,480
Hey, before we end this halftime program, I wanted to do a little follow up on the whole

2151
01:29:53,480 --> 01:29:56,440
education thing where we're talking about the.

2152
01:29:56,440 --> 01:29:57,800
Oh, that's better.

2153
01:29:57,800 --> 01:29:59,600
That's a little better.

2154
01:29:59,600 --> 01:30:07,240
You know, the how the college was traditionally.

2155
01:30:07,240 --> 01:30:09,720
Traditionally leaning kids to the left when they're coming out.

2156
01:30:09,720 --> 01:30:13,760
And I brought up one movie specifically because it's St. Elmo's Fire.

2157
01:30:13,760 --> 01:30:14,760
You guys watch that movie?

2158
01:30:14,760 --> 01:30:16,760
I thought it was going to be Rodney Daniels.

2159
01:30:16,760 --> 01:30:17,760
Back to school.

2160
01:30:17,760 --> 01:30:18,760
That was funny.

2161
01:30:18,760 --> 01:30:21,040
No, St. Elmo's Fire for whatever.

2162
01:30:21,040 --> 01:30:22,360
It's got all kinds of drama.

2163
01:30:22,360 --> 01:30:27,720
It in the cast is Milo Estevez, Rob Lowe, Andrew McCarthy, Demi Moore.

2164
01:30:27,720 --> 01:30:28,720
Yeah, Demi Moore.

2165
01:30:28,720 --> 01:30:29,720
Very, very young.

2166
01:30:29,720 --> 01:30:32,680
Judd Nelson, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

2167
01:30:32,680 --> 01:30:36,360
So at the very end of the movie, they they have all their drama.

2168
01:30:36,360 --> 01:30:37,360
It's a great movie.

2169
01:30:37,360 --> 01:30:43,080
At the end of it, Judd Nelson, who was working for a Democrat's office the whole time, he's

2170
01:30:43,080 --> 01:30:48,120
like, you know, guys, I think I'm I think I'm going to be a Republican.

2171
01:30:48,120 --> 01:30:52,480
I think I understand too much what's going on and I'm going to be Republican.

2172
01:30:52,480 --> 01:30:53,480
Really?

2173
01:30:53,480 --> 01:30:54,480
Yeah.

2174
01:30:54,480 --> 01:30:55,480
That's the very last bit.

2175
01:30:55,480 --> 01:30:56,480
Like 1986.

2176
01:30:56,480 --> 01:30:57,480
When is that?

2177
01:30:57,480 --> 01:30:58,480
1985.

2178
01:30:58,480 --> 01:30:59,480
85.

2179
01:30:59,480 --> 01:31:02,480
That would be during Reagan.

2180
01:31:02,480 --> 01:31:03,480
Yeah.

2181
01:31:03,480 --> 01:31:07,240
Reagan was it was a sign of the times for the Republican Party.

2182
01:31:07,240 --> 01:31:08,360
He was very popular.

2183
01:31:08,360 --> 01:31:09,360
He made a lot of sense.

2184
01:31:09,360 --> 01:31:10,760
Very practical.

2185
01:31:10,760 --> 01:31:15,720
He could communicate the tenets of the Republican platform.

2186
01:31:15,720 --> 01:31:16,720
He made it.

2187
01:31:16,720 --> 01:31:18,360
He made it make sense.

2188
01:31:18,360 --> 01:31:21,280
He had a tremendous amount of charisma.

2189
01:31:21,280 --> 01:31:22,760
You know, there's.

2190
01:31:22,760 --> 01:31:25,640
And he said the bombing will commence in five minutes.

2191
01:31:25,640 --> 01:31:26,640
Did he?

2192
01:31:26,640 --> 01:31:27,640
Did you ever hear that?

2193
01:31:27,640 --> 01:31:28,640
No.

2194
01:31:28,640 --> 01:31:29,640
What?

2195
01:31:29,640 --> 01:31:30,640
Hear that?

2196
01:31:30,640 --> 01:31:31,640
What are you talking about?

2197
01:31:31,640 --> 01:31:36,320
He was on a radio program and they were break and he thought the microphones were dead and

2198
01:31:36,320 --> 01:31:37,320
he was joking.

2199
01:31:37,320 --> 01:31:40,960
And he said, I don't know if he called out Russia specifically.

2200
01:31:40,960 --> 01:31:42,440
He said he said, I don't know.

2201
01:31:42,440 --> 01:31:43,800
I don't know if he said Gorbachev or something.

2202
01:31:43,800 --> 01:31:47,520
He goes, the bombings will commence in five minutes.

2203
01:31:47,520 --> 01:31:50,640
And somebody around the planet shit themselves.

2204
01:31:50,640 --> 01:31:51,640
Yeah.

2205
01:31:51,640 --> 01:31:53,080
Hot, hot mic, hot mic moment.

2206
01:31:53,080 --> 01:31:55,120
It was a hot mic moment.

2207
01:31:55,120 --> 01:31:56,120
Definitely.

2208
01:31:56,120 --> 01:32:02,840
So a really creative guy could score a lot of chicks with that sound like do this last

2209
01:32:02,840 --> 01:32:03,840
night.

2210
01:32:03,840 --> 01:32:04,840
Yeah.

2211
01:32:04,840 --> 01:32:07,600
You know, the asteroid hitting tomorrow.

2212
01:32:07,600 --> 01:32:08,600
Right.

2213
01:32:08,600 --> 01:32:10,240
We didn't hear about we only have tonight.

2214
01:32:10,240 --> 01:32:11,240
Really?

2215
01:32:11,240 --> 01:32:12,240
Yeah.

2216
01:32:12,240 --> 01:32:13,240
You know what?

2217
01:32:13,240 --> 01:32:15,240
And I want my last day on earth to be with you.

2218
01:32:15,240 --> 01:32:16,240
Boom.

2219
01:32:16,240 --> 01:32:17,240
Closer.

2220
01:32:17,240 --> 01:32:18,240
Reagan, the ultimate wingman.

2221
01:32:18,240 --> 01:32:19,240
Speaking of Sean, Sean's nude.

2222
01:32:19,240 --> 01:32:20,240
Speaking of.

2223
01:32:20,240 --> 01:32:21,240
All right.

2224
01:32:21,240 --> 01:32:22,240
Put your pants back on.

2225
01:32:22,240 --> 01:32:23,240
Halftime.

2226
01:32:23,240 --> 01:32:27,960
Yeah, we're going to go downstairs and we're a sample of bourbon and come back up.

2227
01:32:27,960 --> 01:32:28,960
Maybe a vodka.

2228
01:32:28,960 --> 01:32:57,120
And we'll go have a drive.
