[00:02:07] haven't gone on and pre-ordered your tickets or bought your virtual access to the event is beyond me but people make mistakes just like Donald Trump. But before we get into that how we doing tonight Toast? I am most

[00:02:20] excelente. I am most excelente. I'm ready to talk Trump. I am. How would an American that doesn't know how to speak Spanish pronounce muy? Like I mean like I read it and that's the only way I how would Donald Trump

[00:02:40] pronounce it's my perfecto. It's a great night. It is a great night. Muy perfecto. Love all you Average Intelligence podcasters. Very nice. My Trump absolutely is. You know what actually you know what you have the

[00:03:02] inflection it's just the secret I had to learn was from Shane Gillis and I can't do normal Trump. I can't do normal Trump. I'm like Shane I can do rally Trump and actually somebody and somebody said they said your Trump is

[00:03:19] not perfect but your impression of that guy he's referring to Gillis is spot on I'm like I'll take it you're gay. You're gay. I love it. I love that Shane Gillis bit where he's like you know they should still even even if they

[00:03:36] won't let him run this just to let him debate so like you'll have you know to do us. It's true man. It's so funny then the stone-cold music comes. Trump comes out you're gay. That would be great if that was like he

[00:03:54] is like stone-cold ran for some political office but just for fun so he goes and be like damn kid. Have you ever seen the video of Gavin McInnes did a piece on there's a video of I believe it was a G8 meeting a

[00:04:16] summit meeting and you see Trudeau trying to approach Trump like a scared like little schoolboy or like oh it's so funny. I don't know if I saw the one you're talking about like with commentary but I did see that video and

[00:04:34] it is it's all it's classic he's there shuffling his papers waiting for Trump to finish talking to someone but pretending like he's doing something and then Trump's walking away and then he's like oh hey wait a second Trump

[00:04:45] like barely notices him it's it's real it's real good stuff yeah that's the leader of my country. For a second I walked by I thought I saw the ghost of Fidel Castro. Looked just like Fidel but he shaved and he was very pale. Very pale very

[00:05:03] weak. Very pale very short. Not a lot of people know this Justin Trudeau. Really short guy only 6'1". Actually I don't know how tall is Trudeau I don't know how tall he is. I actually do think he's a little taller. I think he's tall actually.

[00:05:18] Trump would say that be like really short guy only 6'1". He's got small hands yeah which I believe. As Trump uses it he's got tiny hands. Tiny hands. I'll tell you what man after which I'm kind of proud of

[00:05:38] myself because I'm always a I'm a spouter of moderation particularly politically and I'm gonna be honest after after I heard the guilty verdict from Trump my first instinct was to be like oh this is bullshit I said but

[00:05:57] I'm gonna practice what I preach. I'm going to actually get information from both sides because I've gotten plenty of information from like you know the Ben Shapiro's the not the Alex Jones's. You know what's funny though is in

[00:06:13] just a one thing because I would be remiss if I didn't Eric was telling me four years bro you got to listen to Alex Jones and I'm like here's the thing though if he would tone it the fuck down just a smidge his audience

[00:06:29] would be ten times bigger because on the money you know you'll get a lot more people were like hey you're gonna get an audience with that right but you'll get more being like hey remember ten years ago when I told you there

[00:06:45] was an island well you see that's the thing he he has said some things over the years not just the island stuff but there's been some things he said over the years that actually ended up being true now is his

[00:07:01] bombastic aggressive style appropriate for serious journalism no but it's debatable yeah yeah right exactly and now you also got to you got to give the guy some credit too because I do he is essentially built a media empire

[00:07:20] right you know Infowars is completely self-sufficient yeah he sells these shady supplements to fund the business but at the end of the day he did it himself which you know I yeah fun fact about the supplements not to cut you

[00:07:34] off but I noticed this when I was watching Spider-Man no way home I was like I feel like they're making Jonah Jameson in this universe like an Alex Jones stand in and then he pulled out the supplements and I'm

[00:07:47] like oh my god they are like oh my god that's Alex Jones of the Spider-Man universe certainly but you know what too I think that like I would attribute that to globalist programming because at the end of the day right or wrong

[00:08:00] whoever the hidden people are the people that you know put out mass messaging the lizards whoever they are right at the end of the day Alex Jones is somebody that they cannot control especially because he has his

[00:08:14] own news outlet there's not really much you can do to stop Alex Jones because he's platformed himself but also here's oh go ahead sorry sorry oh no I was gonna comment on Owen Troyer who's one of his correspondents but

[00:08:28] you first well all I'm gonna say is I'm like I said I'm in the middle when it comes to Alex Jones I I'll admit he hit the nail on the head on some things however and I don't know this somebody who has way more time

[00:08:42] than me and is actually on reddit can do they feel so inclined I bet if you go back I bet if you go back over the span of his career Alex Jones has been wrong about way more shit yeah well I mean the Sandy Hook thing you know

[00:08:57] like he he really fudged he really fudged the bet on that one and like to the tune of what however many million he had to pay I don't know and I know people are Eric and I debate constantly about free speech I'm like but

[00:09:14] that's a civil suit that's not the government telling him he can't say it but you can't say shit about other people that's blatantly untrue and yeah get away with it I mean I think personally okay like I am hey listen I

[00:09:29] have a one conspiracy guy aliens and the Illuminati and the shadow people shadow government and the lizard people I am all about that get me a colander so I can wear it on my head that being said I don't think it's a very good

[00:09:44] thing both morally and for society to be what's the word I'm looking for to you know make the parents of deceased children suffer more than they have I don't think there's any benefit in any way to that and that was not and

[00:10:00] that was my two cents on it you know and I'm sure we actually do want to do when Eric's back in good health and back on the show regularly I want I said dude

[00:10:09] it's just gonna be fun is like we just need to debate but the thing is we're both civilized debaters so it'll be an actual me and like if we do insult each other it'll just be for fun like right right but I mean

[00:10:23] honestly you know I keep I keep my views on here pretty moderate I have I have some more controversial views that I don't really have a chance to have debate or discourse with anybody because people especially here in

[00:10:37] Canada you really can't have a debate especially number one just being a straight-way male you're not allowed to have an opinion in the first place which is crazy but then also unless unless you agree with them unless

[00:10:49] that's right then you can then you can have an opinion all day long and even then even then there's there's steps to victimhood right you have that you thought the bottom of the victim yeah you can't you can't be at

[00:11:01] the front line but you can carry the bags no I can carry the bag yeah you can you yeah you you can be of service but not you're not the poster yeah yeah well I mean even you know just but just by dint of my my

[00:11:15] existence and my you know what I am and who I am I am just an evil is would you but would you and I know you're not gonna be insulted by this question so I'm gonna know would you would you would you be considered brown

[00:11:29] ah great question you know I have had this conversation with lots of people there's so now in Canada right it's all relative but the general consensus is that yes Portuguese people are white but it really depends on who

[00:11:45] you ask right there's some like you know very like Nordic type people who say that Portuguese people are not white which I beg to differ I mean my mom side of the family so I'm fully Portuguese my mom side of the family

[00:11:57] has numerous individuals with either blue eyes or blonde hair or both right I suspect that maybe because I might have Flemish ancestry so in addition at the time that the Azores were being populated there were also German

[00:12:12] French and Flemish settlers to the islands and I suspect that my family on my mom's side may have descended from one of those individuals which was yes but that was only after because at first the islands were used as a

[00:12:27] prison colony much in the same way that Australia was after that after they realized hey these islands are really nice and they you know the climate's really good for farming that's when they started to pop it guns but fun

[00:12:38] fact if I may tell you a second just like Australia first like actually like fuck we should just stay here we should just fucking stay here Blimey no but you know what the thing is the Azores is much much nicer than

[00:12:54] Australia in terms of the climate it's much more temperate it's you can think of the Azores as a warm Iceland and you don't have fucking crocodiles you don't have fucking crocodiles you don't have mosquitoes either actually staying right don't exist you don't have stingrays see it well Steve

[00:13:12] would find that a great place to live I'm sure fantastic place to live very quickly so I'm sorry I have to apologize to Steve or I fucking love Steve Irwin and who doesn't love Steve Irwin and quick shout out to his I I think

[00:13:30] both of his kids are pretty heavily involved but Robert Irwin has definitely like taken up the torch and certainly certainly bravo because it is I understand I understand that he's very much focused on conservation efforts

[00:13:44] which I think is oh yeah yeah but I mean like he's it makes you it's funny because on the one hand it's way off topic but I just had because I just watched a great video of him talking about like how much his dad's legacy

[00:13:55] means to him and now he watched his mom from when he was eight years old to now we watched his mom just like single-handedly like her goal her only mission in life was to take care of her kids and to carry his father's mission

[00:14:09] until he came of age and I guess from what I understand there was a conversation when Robert came of age and it was like you don't have to but here's the torch if you want it and I and I we've all seen it he took

[00:14:23] it ran with it but and fucking kudos but it's it's also it's also sad when you think about it too because you imagine what it would have been like if he could have been doing that next to his dad sure absolutely well I'm sure

[00:14:36] he was for some time right but I mean but I mean imagine like an adult Robert Irwin because I mean shit he's right mid-20s how old is he is he mid-20s okay well actually you know let's find out let's find out because I'm not I

[00:14:49] was gonna ask when did Steve Irwin die I don't remember it was a while ago well cuz again Robert was eight when his father passed away so oh oh I didn't know no he's only 20 okay so it wasn't that long ago

[00:15:05] mm-hmm wow Robert Irwin is only 20 years old that's incredible Wow so he's technically generation alpha or is he Gen Z he would be Gen Z I believe just barely mmm just barely like the very tail end of it which

[00:15:22] again that we all know those lines blur actually my theory because and I'm sure you're aware of this but you remember when remember when you had generation Y and then Millennials and then they just kind of blended them

[00:15:33] together well my and I stick to this this is something I came up with but it makes perfect sense I still believe Gen Y is a thing it shouldn't be blended because I don't claim my millennial status it's too broad like the

[00:15:47] difference that I hate to use the word spectrum but like the spectrum of Millennials is really different and here's here's the difference here's the difference though and it's my ex-wife that identified this to me so

[00:15:59] she and I were only three years apart however my parents were baby boomers her parents were Gen X and it was a world of fucking difference with how from the music we listened to when we were younger to how we were raised you know like

[00:16:15] even what language was allowed in there like if I cursed in my house I was in deep shit by the time she was by the time she was 14 nobody gave a shit right you know that's really interesting my parents see I my

[00:16:27] perspective on that was kind of skewed because like while obviously I did grow up in Canada like most cakeers here right like real Canadians are their parents they all listen to classic rock because their parents introduced

[00:16:41] them to it when they were kids you know Jimi Hendrix the doors Zeppelin stuff like that right I did not grow up listening to any of that and I absolutely despise classic rock I can't stand it I like I like the occasional

[00:16:54] song like yeah I like what was that song a black black sheep black dog by Zeppelin you know what song I'm talking about anyways our purple haze is a classic or like maybe even I don't mind I don't mind a couple of

[00:17:08] saddened songs but generally classic rock does not it for me and my parents didn't never listen to that stuff I grew up listening to like Brazilian music which even then I don't like that stuff either so but in a

[00:17:22] roundabout way to bring this to bring this back to my heritage so the Azores okay they recently so there's underground caves in the Azores okay that people used to store like grain and stuff like that right and these

[00:17:36] are basically carved into you know solid rock and so archaeologists have started to suspect that there was pre-existing civilization before the Portuguese and the Azores so what they did is they did a DNA tests on the mice

[00:17:50] there and it turns out that the mice have Scandinavian origins meaning Vikings were on my islands before the Portuguese were I thought that was extremely interesting that that would that would make a lot of sense though

[00:18:05] if you think about it sure because the Vikings went they went all the way down to Africa so they must have I was gonna say who were the two largest seafaring cultures at that time right this is the Vikings not that late I was

[00:18:22] gonna say the Vikings and the Muslims sure okay yeah okay yeah but the Vikings were like I don't know what we're because look there's a lot of Islamic influence in Iberia this was but this was before the big Muslim

[00:18:37] push they would have been about but not not not to the degree of the golden age of Islam there was it would have been yeah exactly exactly that would have been pre-viking the Viking age well and that's that's another where I'm

[00:18:51] gonna finish this and then get back to Trump because that's what the people are here for I ascribe to the belief and I don't think you can argue it if you really think about it that the Viking Age never really

[00:19:03] ended per se because they didn't get defeated or get wiped out they just assimilated sure sure into what though where did they assimilate in wherever they went because like you've got the Kievan Rus which eventually led way to

[00:19:19] the what would become Russia and even Ukraine in parts of Romania like all that Eastern European Poland all that stuff like I mean they set up shot in Constantinople and said this pretty fucking nice we're just

[00:19:31] gonna stay that's true they were you know they the personal I believe like there was an Emperor of the Byzantine Empire whose personal guard was comprised of a group called the Varangians which was a group of Vikings

[00:19:44] was that I don't know pardon oh that one I want to say that's Justinian but I could be wrong I'm more of a although I'm getting more into the history of the Byzantine Empire I'm more of a Western Roman Empire fan

[00:19:58] boy which makes no sense because the Byzantines lasted way fucking longer and they did yeah well I'm into I am very much a student of classical Rome like just like you know the Roman Empire before it became the Catholic Church

[00:20:12] which was really interesting to think of before the schism right but yeah essentially the the Catholic Church is the Roman Empire I mean all the treasures of Rome all of the artifacts is the hierarchy you know

[00:20:25] what's funny because I was talking to somebody hang on one second hey get out of there my fucking dog dog troubles so I guess it's up to your host mr. toast entertaining people I can't see access to the comments but

[00:20:41] please like comment subscribe if you like this content I'm just co-hosting for now oh but yeah so somebody asked me they were like well how did not a Christianity take over I said well this isn't the sole reason but the

[00:20:55] reason it really succeeded once it was adopted into the Roman Empire is because they gave it the hierarchy of the Roman Empire and it became a very efficient well-oiled machine because as much as people hate the word hierarchy it's

[00:21:09] efficient because if you know where the orders are coming from and you know a chain of command you're way more effective at doing whatever it is you want to do it's where we get the you know the frame is yeah oh I'm

[00:21:22] sorry I didn't mean to cut you off no no you're fine there's the least the less offensive one is there's too many cooks in the kitchen all right right well there's nothing wrong with hierarchy humans are hierarchical animals very

[00:21:35] hierarchy is just simply organization there's nothing wrong with hierarchy I mean really when you leave people to their own devices without a structure people tend more often than not to shit the bed it's very like it's very rare that people engage in altruistic actions without a direct

[00:21:51] benefit to themselves and what's funny though and again now we're getting into Peterson territory which I promise but it's funny because hierarchies like obviously a corrupt hierarchy is bad but they often self-destruct ie the Western Roman Empire right right hierarchies can be extremely beneficial

[00:22:17] to society in more ways than one not only does it give a clear plan of what to do who to answer to where you're at in there your status something to shoot for but also you know when you do get a good leader who is altruistic he

[00:22:31] has he or she has the mechanisms in place to do great things so you know again they're not inherently evil but speaking of inherently evil Donald Trump so anyway I was I was gonna live my credo and I was gonna get

[00:22:50] information and once again this is just like a trend for me and I question myself a lot I'm like am I actually a moderate am I just like lazy and don't want to get into with people and here when it comes to Trump it's

[00:23:04] very frustrating for him because I want to like the guy but he just and I do but like he gives me so much ammunition to be like now again he's standing next to Joe Biden so obviously he looks very good next to Joe Biden

[00:23:20] but if you were right if you were running against virtually anyone else with a pulse I mean I'd probably lean more like if RFK was like on equal footing there'd be no question for me and don't get me wrong I have I

[00:23:32] have issues with RFK as well but I mean just out of the three and I still don't know who I'm voting for yet but we'll see but after objectively looking at all the information I can say two things one Trump is guilty of

[00:23:48] this particular crime however at the same time this particular crime should not have been a felony and if Trump's guilty of this you should arrest everyone else that does business in New York because I'm sure

[00:24:04] so what exactly please explain to us okay so what what exactly was Trump convicted with because from what I understand he was this this crime was was based on a predicate which has never been prosecuted against anybody

[00:24:22] in the state of in the state of New York ever okay I also understand not in the way that it was but right so please explain that to me and also I understand that he is a class E felon meaning you will most likely not serve

[00:24:37] any kind of jail time or any kind of well here's here's the thing though so the statute in question is New York penal law 175.10 also known as the falsifying business records in the first degree it's a classy felony

[00:24:53] that applies to actions committed on or after November 1st according to the prosecution oh right oh this was him sorry if I may I think I do know what this is this is him falsifying the records surrounding the situation with

[00:25:10] Stormy Daniels which would like he believed would be damaging to his presidential campaign that is the and I'm going and that's the allegation I'm gonna choose my words very carefully here because while he was proven guilty there have been right there have been people that are proven

[00:25:27] guilty of murder and then exonerated you right now what's interesting is that the the that incident took place before the 2016 presidential election I mean wait sorry was it for after Justin has a comment Justin I think one

[00:25:46] of your comments didn't come through because I only got or am I totally off so I mean yes you are but I don't know is that my Vancouver friend yes greetings Justin your VC Audrey that's right yeah over Canada so it states

[00:26:08] that a person is guilty of this crime if they one commit the crime of falsifying business records in the second degree which that doesn't fucking explain what that is and have the intent to defraud which includes

[00:26:22] intending to commit another crime or aid or conceal the commission of another crime or make or cause a false entry in the business records of an enterprise and an enterprise is defined as an entity public or private that is involved in business commercial professional or other

[00:26:38] activities business record is defined as any writing article computer data or computer program that an enterprise keeps and reflects conditioner activity this the district a district attorney can elevate misdemeanor conduct to an arrest for allegation of first-degree falsifying business

[00:26:55] records if convicted a judge can sentence the offender to multiple years in prison even if they have no criminal history penalties include 1.3 to 4 years in New York State Prison up to one year in jail and a combination of jail or probation so here's the problem though as I'm

[00:27:12] sure everyone's aware I'm not a lawyer I just played one on TV that one time actually no is that actually a thing oh no I would have no no no I haven't played I played a doctor once wait actually like actor on the internet oh wow no

[00:27:31] way yeah that's cool I can totally see you being like a concerned doctor episode of long older don't don't anyway just got some bad news any who oh no I'm sorry I'm sorry is everything okay yeah no it's fine just

[00:27:51] got some bad advertising news but anyway I digress so I'm not a lawyer but I'm I do speak English and don't know what the fuck that means that's legalese in its finest so it's my understanding and this is why I say

[00:28:10] Trump is guilty and guilty so a business record was falsified but I can tell you how incredibly easy to do that on accident because I'll give you an example now granted with this is we were correct but just to show you

[00:28:29] how easy this could be is we had a we had a vendor with my business that we paid for I can't remember the details but basically we had to ask our accountant how do we enter this and if our accountant had been wrong we

[00:28:44] technically would have been guilty of falsifying business records but these are hardly ever prosecuted they're hardly ever because most of the time they're benign they don't really because let's let's look at this objectively who was hurt by the Trump organization entering in

[00:29:02] reimbursements to god damn it I just spaced his name I know who he is too that's sad Cohen Michael Cohen well Michael Cohen right made the payments to stormy Daniels and then submitted for reimbursement now I guess the

[00:29:19] smoking gun and testimony which again this is because nobody on the right mentioned this part is they had notes written on Trump organization stationary talking about how basically they came out and said this is to hide

[00:29:32] the payment to stormy Daniels now that in and of itself is not necessarily a crime but they're using like the whole thing's real loosey-goosey and I'll get to the point I'm making here so Trump is guilty yes however the point

[00:29:47] I'm making is that what is Trump guilty of is he guilty of a misdemeanor crime that was passed the statute of limitations abso-fucking is he guilty of election interference well if he's guilty then bill Clinton's

[00:30:01] guilty because he paid some lady I forget her name but he paid some lady way more than Trump ended up paying stormy Daniels indirectly mm-hmm so I'm gonna be fact I'm gonna be really precise here Bill Clinton paid a woman

[00:30:14] way more money I think 20 20 million or 200,000 something to zero is in my mind but I know it was more he paid some woman way more money than stormy Daniels was paid by Michael Cohen to cover up sexual abuse

[00:30:27] allegations and again it's very important here not because I'm not gonna pick on Bill Clinton here sexual abuse allegations get settled out of court all the fucking time whether they're true or not because even the allegation is enough to ruin a political campaign it's mm-hmm it

[00:30:47] happens all the time so I was actually I was actually watching a commentary video about this exact situation so the argument in the video was that this payment and and this whole cover-up happened at least two years before the campaign was even announced from why they understand

[00:31:09] neither from what it was when it was announced or from when it when it began so it's not possible to be election interference if it took place before the election even was a was a conversation but it what that's

[00:31:21] the thing though it was it was already in the conversation however and I could be totally wrong here I still maintain because Joe Biden I believe has actually paid off or at least dumb people have alleged sexual abuse by

[00:31:36] Joe Biden so I would imagine they were here's the thing and these payments are made whether the allegations are true or not like athletes and celebrities deal with this shit all the time and it is usually cheaper and easier to just have them sign a non-disclosure agreement or

[00:31:53] kill the story catch-and-kill which again catch-and-kill is not it's dubious but it's not illegal technically speaking and like here's the thing do I think Trump fucked Stormy Daniels in 2006 absolutely obviously I mean him denying it is just kind of like it's like dude nobody but even your base

[00:32:14] doesn't believe that you did like come on I just invited her up to my hotel room for sushi why why are you lying right right it's yeah spirit cooking yeah sure well and here's I mean you know I mean if we're gonna get down if

[00:32:34] we're gonna go down that road about you know who did what there's quite a few pieces of evidence suggesting that you know Biden has been engaged with the quote-unquote pedophile sex cult if we really wanted to go down

[00:32:50] that dubious road right let's not of course but there is a diary that's out there so certainly you know and again I'm not I wasn't there I'm really glad I wasn't there yeah right I don't know any of these people and sure like I

[00:33:08] don't know if it's sure or not but the fact remains that it's in a diary that was at least according to her never supposed to see the light of day so I don't know why you would lie in a diary that was supposed to never

[00:33:20] ever see the light of day I'm just that's all precisely precisely the point being and this is the beginning this was the thing like my point with all this Trump stuff is did he do things wrong and in some cases

[00:33:34] illegal I believe he did but he's not the only one to do it and it none of it seems to have been an issue until he did it so what's that Justin got a play to the evangelical base and they don't love a cheater and a

[00:33:54] temptress I mean true but sir I mean what's right but even but but here's the irony of that so many evangelical figures get caught cheating like it's ridiculous mmm you know I've heard I've heard stuff about them what's that

[00:34:13] guy yeah oh whoa okay interesting yeah I've heard I've heard stuff about that Peter pop-off guy Pope off I don't know anything to be honest I'm I was raised Catholic but I know nothing about evangelicalism or anything about

[00:34:30] it I I'm so curious that that's not a thing here that's not a thing here yeah well here's the thing about it they love Jesus and I want to tell you all about it that's basically unless you're right unless you're one of them

[00:34:42] queers or Jews and even fuck right off right right you know funny story okay about evangelicals so growing up that was that was not that was not hate speech I've that was that was please please don't put that please don't

[00:34:58] clip that so um I grew up in true though like it's it is true it is true growing up I've like I've been involved in the black metal scene here in Toronto for you know a long time and when I was younger I was in a black

[00:35:15] metal band and there was a at the time because of silly high school drama they were our rivals but there's a black metal band called Panzerfost and they're actually you know quite doing quite well for themselves now it's a good job to Panzerfost they're killing it right now

[00:35:31] anyways so they did a tour and they visited the Westboro Baptist Church and they they went there and they pissed on the building and yeah they were confronted by some guys and I think that's pretty pretty fucking

[00:35:48] hilarious so good job Banjo post sorry just have to kill a mosquito anyway no problem um you know I do respect pretty much all nature but mosquitoes can fuck off like you know there's a lot of there's been a lot of debate

[00:36:07] about whether humanity could sustain like whether the world could sustain like if the biosphere could sustain life without mosquitoes what they've done in like heavily mosquito-affected areas is they basically bioengineered sterile mosquitoes that go out and breed with the mosquitoes and

[00:36:24] create no offspring so mass numbers of mosquitoes are dying I think that's a very good thing I don't think anybody I think we call mosquitoes are good for one thing and they are a food source for a great number of animals that I

[00:36:38] love so I guess they can stick around but in my house they're fucking dead I that's my opinion as well any bugs in the in the domain of my house will die and anything else outside can live in our in Canada we

[00:36:51] have a big problem with house centipedes I don't know if you guys have those there I don't know if they're the same but yeah it's similar I assume a big with leopard spots lots of legs I think those are smaller but yeah I mean

[00:37:04] they're they're ours they're not they're not super pesky like it depends on where you are because there's a there's things called mayflies that in the summer and like certain areas of northern Indiana especially if you're near water there are some nice where it looks like it's snowing

[00:37:19] outside I'm not even you know yeah what here's like God the best way I can describe it is it kind of looks like a really small praying mantis but it doesn't have the pencil well here's the thing though dude like so many

[00:37:33] species gorge themselves during those right they're kind of like cicadas we're like cicadas only role in the ecosystem is to be food right like they serve no other purpose and that's right what mayflies are like they so

[00:37:48] many fish and they just die like they die by the thousands to just lay on the water surface and fish and other animals just gorge themselves on them so and they don't really like they don't bite you or anything they just

[00:38:00] they can really freak you out when you're driving though because again it sure it looks like a really bad snowstorm when it's super bad but question my question about Trump is why is he a hill so many people are willing

[00:38:14] to die on especially internationally people will just see Trump convict and his soft power has to be weaker so the reason I can answer that the reason Trump is a hill that some particularly Americans are gonna die on is

[00:38:31] because Trump was a legitimate threat to the status quo and he proved it and the man is the man is as flawed as they come but here's the other thing is she kind of a lot of people because some people do hate him but you have to

[00:38:46] kind of respect you can't help but kind of like the guy he's a career politician and to be honest too so for example while he was in office from my understanding he did not like accept the presidential salary that's

[00:39:02] well I think he's required by law to take it but I believe he donated it that's my understanding I think he's excellent to be honest what my opinion of Trump as a Canadian is that he's a guy who's speaking up for the voices

[00:39:14] that are no longer heard in American which is which is ironic because at the very beginning of this I saw a lot of like rule for people getting behind Trump and I'm like Trump but I mean honestly compared to the

[00:39:28] political status quo it makes a lot of sense and then there's a lot of blatant lies told about Trump like they're talking about how his tax cuts only helped the rich that's bullshit like I know so many people that

[00:39:42] benefited immensely well from his tax cuts also here's the thing the thing that people forget about rich people okay there's two things number one okay given the opportunity we would all be rich okay the whole point of

[00:39:54] the American dream is that there needs to be some kind of incentive to do all that hardware to go start a business you know what I mean the potential of getting rich is what motivates people to do stuff in the first place right

[00:40:05] and I think that that's the basis of true capitalism which you know in its you know truest form happens in the United States the United States I think has the freest economy of all economies right and then that's both in

[00:40:17] terms of choice and opportunity in fact the the hidden hand of the market is what regulates all prices in the United States including health care right the fact that you can go to a different doctor to get better health

[00:40:29] care maybe for cheaper is what is going to ultimately bring a health cost down in your country but I think the other point that I wanted to make is that um shit I to be honest I completely just based on my thought

[00:40:45] I'm so sorry can you please remind me yeah never mind I don't know we were kind of talking about why Trump is a hill that so many people are dying right and and some people some it is it is a desperation play for some people

[00:40:59] because while Trump is not perfect he very he was very much a giant middle finger to the DC swamp I mean he told and this is this is why I like the guy even though he's not perfect and here's why I like the guy he's not

[00:41:16] he's not he's got really tiny hands no but here's the thing Trump basically can see this is this and this is my inner American coming out but just humor me this is why I love Trump because he made international headlines

[00:41:33] about because he walked in front of the Queen of England or something something stupid and I'm just like and my reaction was like well if anybody's gonna do it it's the president see you know true those father Pierre Trudeau

[00:41:50] one of the things that made him famous here in Canada is that he did pirouettes behind the Queen I guess in a way not to I guess is not to mock the Queen but sort of to mock I guess the institution of the

[00:42:05] monarchy that being said that's really big talk for a guy who has the Queen on his money though just saying precisely oh no hey no no I I'm not I don't I don't know how I feel about the monarchy they don't there's no effect

[00:42:22] on it in Canada literally there's nothing like the only thing is we get an extra holiday that's the only thing nobody like when the Queen died nobody gave a fuck here nobody really literally gave I think I think one of my

[00:42:35] favorite stories to tell many many many years ago my ex-wife worked at a place and one of her co-workers was from Ireland who was here because their fiance's from here and she was here on a fiance visa and she didn't

[00:42:49] understand so our we have a very patriotic song god damn what's the name of the song shit it's an American song yeah well it's to the tune of God save the Queen that's all you know so she comes back from a bathroom bring shows

[00:43:11] fuck are they playing God save the Queen but it wasn't got to you know it's we changed the words I think America the beautiful yeah I think that's what it's called mmm it's the same song just different words and

[00:43:26] because that's what we did we took a song that the British troops made to make fun of us and turn it into our battle cry so I mean we were like we were like fuck yeah this slaps let's do this shit

[00:43:41] like that was an insult it's like right yeah but it kind of works you know what's interesting see I think the other thing I remember what I was thing is that he's a real guy okay like in the fact that like he's not a career

[00:43:59] politician and the example that I'm coming that's coming to mind right now look at Biden right right now Biden is basically spouting the propaganda of the alphabet gang you know inclusion and all we need to get rid of the

[00:44:14] police and this and that like in fact though you know during like for example when they defunded the police in Portland and the whole area felt the shit the Chas are you familiar with that the right okay and so I believe I

[00:44:27] could be wrong but I believe that that Biden voiced support for that whole Chas initiative that whole fucking debacle now it's really funny I wouldn't I wouldn't say he voiced support but he didn't condemn like I

[00:44:41] didn't condemn it sure yeah well any I mean there was there was soft support look at Biden brother look at early 2000s by the not even that long ago he was tough on crime you know the harsher prison sentences send drug

[00:44:55] dealers today at jail this that and the other and now he's completely flipped and that's basically every other politician a politician who's you know a man who stands for nothing will fall for anything right and ultimately

[00:45:06] up you know politicians who change with the winds in order to curry favor with whoever is the the popular voting base I think it's quite despicable that's why it doesn't make any sense because they're there I'm fringe

[00:45:17] voting base see okay Biden ran in the primary leading in 2016 not 20 60 I'm sorry 2020 Biden ran on a platform of being a moderate he was the guy who was gonna bring Democrats together right in the middle and beat Donald Trump

[00:45:33] and immediately after being sworn in he started you later on or more to the well he didn't jump like it was very gradual but I said at the time this is what the Biden presidency is gonna be it's but also and well see also

[00:45:49] too that I was just gonna say that was not of his own his own volition no Biden does what he's told that's why he's the perfect I mean he's the perfect candidate because he just doesn't know that he will tell him to

[00:46:01] do he gets his directions for every appearance walk left I acknowledge so and so person sit down in the first chair the fact that you guys have a I mean okay I hate our Prime Minister but like you guys have a have a walk in

[00:46:17] chief he can bear it he can barely walk no no true no oh true no yeah sure he he walks he walks over to China to borrow a cup of sugar well you speak

[00:46:29] you got to keep you got to keep him away from the brown face paint but oh certainly here's the thing about that dude here's the thing about if it's been once I would have been like he was a kid you know whatever but like

[00:46:44] oh bro it happened so many times and you know you know that true dough he he basically got fired from his job as a drama teacher because of a sex scandal involving a 14 year old girl who later the media tried to say was

[00:46:59] 17 it was a girl it was it was the daughter of a girl named Gloria who he was having some kind of affair with and then he started canoodling allegedly yeah exactly no although I will say because I wasn't aware of that

[00:47:12] until some like within the last year and a half and I kind of read up on it and I was like that seems legit that seems like it's sounds about right well he's I mean he he is essentially uh how do I explain this he's like a

[00:47:28] like a pussy dictator he's like a dictator who's passive aggressive who'll never tell you he's a dictator but he sends his troops to do the hard talking for him literally his approval rating right now I believe is

[00:47:40] 25% Canadians want him out and they want him out mass like he did an appearance in Hamilton Ontario which is about I don't know 40 minutes from where I am he did a appearance in Hamilton Ontario where the crowd was

[00:47:54] literally throwing things at him and yelling and he had to be shuttled out by the RCMP and the secret police because just for his safety I believe he's doing some kind of campaign rally and literally to the gay today a girl

[00:48:06] at work like I have never heard somebody say support for Trump in the longest time until today when a girl at work said oh but he's hot and that's literally how he got it elected was that he's he's good

[00:48:18] looking and charming right now that being said that I can see that the only thing okay and I will say this he only did one thing and one thing correct which is that he legalized marijuana and I'm so glad he did I'm

[00:48:35] concerned that the new conservative government will try to roll back because certainly they're trying to fight back against the decriminalization of other drugs right my opinion is ultimately the criminalization of drugs is the criminalization of mental health and

[00:48:49] when people are addicted to any kind of substance they are trying to self-medicate an underlying psychological issue and so the answer is not incarceration sorry to go on a tangent no no you're fine you're fine so

[00:49:00] I want to go ahead and shout out the sponsor real quick and then I'll answer Justin's question then we'll just finish up on Trump because I know we're keeping it perfect perfect yes okay so sponsor one weekend at

[00:55:50] will become the official website where you can purchase tickets get more information all that good stuff so anyway any other so I want to answer Justin's question said the thing I don't fully understand is how for

[00:56:04] better or exit how for better or worse thanks for the hearts guys definitely check out the Kickstarter campaign even if you can't attend like I said go get your virtual access because like I said and when

[00:56:16] they do the pain I should mention this when they do the panels they are going to take some questions from the virtual crowd so it's not like you're not going to be participating for better or worse presidential candidate

[00:56:25] and former president is now a criminal and his campaign will now be about that so the the narrative and I I'm kind of in this camp because my whole thing is like even if Trump did things wrong the only reason

[00:56:43] these were brought up or for political reasons and that's a really great area it's a really great area though because like let's let's assume that Trump's guilty of everything they said right well the classified documents Biden was found red-handed of essentially the same thing except it

[00:56:58] was kind of worse because some of these documents were from when he was a senator and he definitely didn't have the authority to have these in the first place much less after he left office right and the difference

[00:57:08] being his own Department of Justice came out and said well he's a senile old man so we're not gonna press charges I mean that that's not hyperbolic that's exactly what happened like I was watching all that and I'm

[00:57:17] like you've got to be shitting me Hillary Clinton was caught red-handed with a private email server that had a ton of classified top secret documents on it and mm-hmm she shredded it all digitally to not get and then she

[00:57:34] was gonna get prosecuted but then James not James Comey yeah it was James Comey James told me that's right yeah it was like no we're not gonna bring charges after all mm-hmm it's like really so if you're gonna be

[00:57:47] selective I guess the point that the Trump campaign well no I'm sorry they're maintaining evidence the point that I would maintain is like if you're going to prosecute Trump prosecute all these other fuckers and if not

[00:57:59] let the American people vote and just get what they want because then I will say this Trump is not perfect I didn't vote for Trump in the last election I didn't vote for Trump in the election before that I have never

[00:58:11] for Donald Trump as president however I had four really good years under Trump 100% and that's the thing that people forget Trump at the end of the day that Trump is a businessman from what I understand again as a Canadian jobs were

[00:58:26] up unemployment was down GDP was way up and ultimately you know he created a lot of jobs now Biden people are saying oh you know Biden created 500,000 new jobs in his first quarter as as president no he didn't he was just

[00:58:43] recovering lost jobs from the recession is my understanding well and that's so this is where I get into it with data especially numerical data because that can be interpreted so many different ways I've multiple times pointed out the issues with Biden's job numbers for one I remember they

[00:59:02] were saying that like the job numbers were so low but something like and this is from like a I think it was from the New York Times it was from a credible news source where they're saying there's 1.8 job vacancies for every

[00:59:15] worker in the United States I'm like how the fuck do you have record low unemployment and have that many job vacancies that doesn't make any sense makes no sense that skews the numbers that makes absolutely no sense

[00:59:26] you know one thing I wanted to say as well was that okay so people talk about Trump's tax breaks and oh they only benefit the rich who do you think is starting companies and building you know actually creating these jobs it's

[00:59:40] rich people because they can afford to take on the risk of financial ventures but not just not just that so this is where people get into oh well let's just trickle down I'm like well I mean crickle down

[00:59:51] economics assumed that every rich person was altruistic and that's not but in a vacuum it makes sense because if businesses have more money to play with what are they gonna do yeah they're gonna kick some bonuses

[01:00:04] because it's all about profit but guess what if you got a guy if you got a guy that's making you know 100 million dollars a year he doesn't want to fuck around with phone calls he's gonna hire an assistant right

[01:00:15] exactly it's gonna end like oh oh you know we've got record profits and more people are wanting us to you know manufacture these this content or and when you expand your business you hire more people and that's the thought

[01:00:30] process in a nutshell well behind oftentimes oftentimes the expansion of a business is what's going to lead to more profits you know investing in let's say R&D you know to make your product better to release a different

[01:00:43] version of it is ultimately what's gonna bring your company more profit it's not just about paying shareholders it's not just about paying yourself a salary okay oftentimes too you know when a CEO joins let's say

[01:00:54] a startup you know hits hits a point where it's no longer a startup it's now a 10 million dollar company let's just say somehow it gets to that point just through sales organic growth right when they hire a CEO that CEO is gonna

[01:01:07] have the experience to grow the company and that CEO is also gonna want to grow the company because think about it if they're if they have the experience of a CEO they've already spent lots of years being a CEO they

[01:01:18] already have enough money money isn't the motivator well you can only make so much money before it money stops being not worth it's not that it's not worth anything but it stops becoming the incentive well and what's funny is

[01:01:31] science has determined at least in the United States that magic number as to when how did they word it where money starts to matter dramatically less because everything is taken care of any good lift come comfortably

[01:01:43] that's right that number is oddly low it's like a ninety one thousand dollars which I know that's that's a lot of money but but you would think it'd be higher than that you think it would be like it's gotta be it's gotta

[01:01:55] be a little bit more than 91,000 because 91,000 average that's a girl cuz like I'll always an average right yeah I'll put it to this way I live in Indiana and as a single person I'm pretty comfortable like I

[01:02:07] don't I don't worry about paying my bills I'm not rich but you know and that's what they're saying like you're not considered wealthy at but that's the national average as to where people are like yeah the

[01:02:19] pressure is off like I'm not getting I'm not worried about making rent or the mortgage or I to be honest I cannot say the same and I make pretty decent money here in Canada like that that 91,000 is probably more like 180 to

[01:02:34] be real probably yeah they see if you make 180 yo if you make 140,000 you're living real nice you're driving like a high-end Audi or like I don't know not key you're not driving like a Jag you'll probably have a Porsche or like

[01:02:52] you know yeah like you know you're making 140 year you're you're living you're living in like the penthouse suite on the Maryland Monroe buildings see if I was making 140 I'd be obscenely comfortable like I like sure

[01:03:06] that would be a type of number where I would actually be making more well I'm already making more than I'm spending but you know what I mean like it would be exorbitant anymore that would be certainly wealth that would be

[01:03:15] wealth building money you know that's when you have a portfolio precisely yeah yeah see what's funny and this is why somebody like me is dangerous because I don't want to fuck up or sh I don't I don't want one I don't

[01:03:34] want a giant fucking house that's just more shit I know you clean because I'm sure shit hiring somebody to clean it for me let me let me let me tell you something okay I have made a hundred and fifty thousand dollars in

[01:03:45] a year and I have also been homeless numerous times for both and I can tell you it's a lot nicer to cry behind the wheel of a Mercedes than it is on the park bench I'll tell you that right now yeah and anybody who says

[01:03:59] otherwise is either lying or stupid well that's that's the thing they're fucking lying because like people say money doesn't solve problems yeah it's fucking a lot of problems it creates problems yeah but not does not nearly

[01:04:12] the same it's no but it solves it solves a lot of immediate problems and the problems it creates are less not less stressful but less urgent yeah problems created for money are less urgent there's urgency in real life

[01:04:27] problems Dave Ramsey put it perfectly he said when you've got say well he was speaking to an emergency fund but he's like when you've got an emergency fund a catastrophic event becomes a minor inconvenience that's correct absolutely absolutely also you know if there's if there's anything you don't

[01:04:45] that you don't have that you need you can use money to motivate people to get it for you exactly so Justin to answer your question yes precisely about the job numbers and I'll illustrate this perfectly when I

[01:04:58] bought my house I was still what I wasn't broke broke but I was still poor you know like I didn't have a lot of spare income but I made some moves and now I'm very comfortable and my washer and dryer crapped out on me in the

[01:05:14] same week like it was shit all right then I was I was I was freaking out right I was freaking out but then I realized oh fuck I have money now like I don't I don't I don't want to spend it but you can't it's there but

[01:05:31] it's there and I got a great deal I got a guy that's actually and here's the thing though and this is the point that I will close with when it comes to people having money like broke people would not have when I

[01:05:44] was broke I wouldn't have sprung to have it delivered but now I was like how much is delivery 80 fucking dollars fuck yeah lights buddy I'm poor and I'll pay you dollars for delivery like I'll put it this way I when

[01:05:59] my parents moved out of their house they were like can you help us move and I said I will pay to hire movers yeah that's excellent that would like oh my god it's I said mom do you really want to spend all day doing this shit

[01:06:17] or you can pay a hundred as far as you're moving you'll pay like 120 bucks for two guys in a truck and they'll lug all your shit yeah it's they were maybe more but it was gonna be under they have under $200 that's crazy I don't

[01:06:32] know it was it wasn't it wasn't it wasn't in a major metro area yeah so it's okay it was a local move so but anyway but here's the point I'm making you know how much I tipped each one of those guys how much I

[01:07:08] people and two movers and stuff and like generally you know you don't really unless you're like unless you're really lucky generally stuff happens in the very beginning of the day in the very end of the day because

[01:07:18] they're busy pretty typically yeah you know yeah yeah but yeah so that's that's the case I always make I said if if I were a billionaire I would change the goddamn world which is probably why they'll never let me be a
