Political Hypocrisy: Democrats vs Republicans

[00:00:00] I keep forgetting we don't have an intro on this one, so... This microphone is on. Welcome everybody to the Average Intelligence Podcast. I'm waiting for YouTube to notify me that we're live. It's live. Hello everybody. There it is. Welcome everyone, like I said, the Average Intelligence Podcast. This podcast is brought to you tonight by our friends at Vizard.ai and Pogo.

[00:00:28] We'll touch on them a bit, but tonight we're calling out the hypocrisy. Which is running rampant. It's a little embarrassing to be frank. It is. I'm not frank, but... If I were, it would be real embarrassing. Does my camera seem dark? No, no more than usual. Your camera's not dark.

[00:00:58] It might just be that you're wearing a really dark hoodie and the... Like it looks like there's a shadow casting. I don't know. And also I apologize in advance, but there might be a knock at the door and I'll have to go away for a moment. So you have to... You have to order and delivery? No, I have to get my rent check. So my tenant and I now have an arrangement where we meet each other because they used to just drop... For years, they would drop the rent check just in my mailbox and it was fine. And then somebody took one.

[00:01:29] Yeah. So now I'm like, oh, I texted them immediately and it was like, stop payment on that check right now, even though they can't do anything with it, but just to be safe. So... And now we're like, yeah, I'll just meet you on the porch when both of us are home. So no big deal. But if there's a knock, that's where I'm going. But yeah, so I'll be honest. I've kind of tuned out somewhat on the news.

[00:01:54] Basically, my news consumption lately has been somebody telling me something happened and then I Google it to make sure if it's bullshit or not. And it's usually bullshit, but... All the time. It's ridiculous. It really is. And we had a private conversation because I'm not going to lie. I wouldn't say I was freaking out, but I was very concerned about things that were happening with immigration. And you fucking said, dude, you were like, they're blowing it out of proportion. It's not nearly as bad as it sounds. And then sure enough, Trump does something else.

[00:02:24] And I'm not going to say immigration has disappeared from the news, but comparatively, it kind of has. The media is doing what it's always done, blowing it out of proportion. Now, I don't want people to think that I've changed my tune. There are some things they're doing that I don't like, but it's being way overblown. It's being way overblown. That's every administration. And honestly, that's the way it should be. Yeah.

[00:02:52] If you're agreeing with every single thing they're doing, like that's kind of scary. Then you're in a cult. But I would like to point out a few things that I've seen just in the past few weeks. And I just want to. So this is the. This is the time in politics where. I'm often called the most. Terrible things. I think the most tame one I've been called lately is a fence sitter. And it's like, no, actually go back.

[00:03:21] There's quite a bit of video evidence to suggest that my views really haven't changed all that much. It's just that. I often find myself defending the other side. So the side that's in power, I often find myself defending the other side because the one that's in power has. The bulk of the narrative, like, but for example, and here, this is you can. This is verifiably true. You can look on this channel and I'm talking about this in 2023. All right.

[00:03:49] So this whole 14th amendment thing. I was talking about that when Vivek brought it up in the first Republican primary debate. And my reasoning is the same. Now, what I find very disconcerting is the number of people on the right, both talking heads and just people out in the street who have now come around to what I can only imagine. I first heard it from Vivek. Vivek's way of thinking and complete disregard for the English language.

[00:04:19] It's very concerning for me. Because apparently now definitions of the word jurisdiction are now flexible. And that's not how definitions work. But a court stopped that, which is. Not to ramble or. Belabor a point, but during the first Trump administration, I was constantly saying it's like, well, yeah, he's trying a bunch of stuff, but so does every president and the institutions.

[00:04:48] Keep them from exceeding because the main point I wanted to make with the 14th amendment thing is here's the thing. Even if you agree, even if I agreed with it. Even if I agreed with it. Trump still can't do it. Because the president cannot amend the Constitution. Nor can he interpret the Constitution. So even if I thought he was right, like correct. He still doesn't have the president. He doesn't have the authority to do it.

[00:05:14] Like so I have problems on multiple levels, but everybody who's saying that Trump was right. It's like, OK, but that's honestly irrelevant when it comes to the law, because even if he had sound logic, which. I'll argue this point on blue in the face, he doesn't. But even if he did, he doesn't have the authority to do it like this goes back to Biden for everybody who agreed with his trying to forgive student loans, whether you agree or disagree. The fact of the matter is he didn't have the constitutional authority to do it.

[00:05:43] So even if you wanted it. He made a tweet not to. Well, X post or whatever the fuck you want to call it, by the way, sponsors. Do we need to tailor language? No. OK. Anyway, so he made a tweet saying that, oh, we were we tried to help people with college loans and whatnot. And and then he said something about we did. And I was like, did you did that? Well, in a way, not really some.

[00:06:12] To be fair, not not to the extent that they wanted to. There were some programs like they expanded some of the income driven. They expanded some of the repayment options. And I think they were able to forgive some loans through like public service. But those programs already existed. I think they expanded some. I do not know for sure. I'd have to look that up. But they certainly tried to do a lot more. They they did. They tried to do a lot more.

[00:06:40] But I still I still OK. Politicians steal this. If you want to solve the student debt crisis. In a way that's fair and equitable and doesn't screw over the taxpayer that didn't go to college, tell them they have to pay for it. Well, no, here's what you do. It's two set program. Well, no, it's two step program. First of all, it's not the loans themselves that are really killing people. It's the interest rates. And yes, I know they signed the paper. I signed the paper, which is why. Well, here's the thing, though.

[00:07:09] There's a way you can both sides can win. Right. So the first thing you have to do is stop. The federal government needs to stop giving out student loans point blank. Oh, they shouldn't even got involved in the first place. Well, I agree. That's involved and back the loans. Those private companies wouldn't have loaned anybody. Hardly any. Hardly any. Yeah. So that's the government's fault on this one. It is. It is. And this is why I think the government should do something. And I think this is what they should do.

[00:07:36] So let's say, for example, then when you were 18, you let's say you took out a grand total of sixty thousand dollars for college. The number is really irrelevant here. But let's say you have sixty thousand dollars of student loan debt with no interest. That's just your principal balance was sixty thousand. Right. With interest rates being what they are, depending upon your level of subsidized or unsubsidized, you could have as much as. Depending on how long you've been out of school, you could have as you could have over one hundred thousand dollars that you owe easily. So here's what you do.

[00:08:06] Step one. Federal government stops doing student loans, period. They just stop. Then what you do is you don't you don't forgive the interest, but you you you stop charging interest. So that people only have to pay off the principal balance. They still have to pay the money back. But the government is now not making money on the interest on those loans. Now, some people are going to say that. What's that? What's that? Banks aren't going to go for that.

[00:08:35] They're not held by the bank. So I. Well, then who is it? The loans held by the federal government. They're insured by the they're insured by the government. Are they held by the government? They're held by the government. If they're not private. I'm not talking. I'm not talking about private. So they're talking about. I'm talking about federally sponsored student loans through the Department of Education. Oh, no. Private loans are totally certain meaning the federal government is paying for them.

[00:09:02] The money is coming from the federal government through the Department of Education. See, the thing is, I from my understanding, they were federally insured. No, no. They only paid back. They are federally backed. At least the ones I'm talking about are federally backed. Hmm. I'm gonna have to look into that. I could have sworn. I mean, do do do correct me if I'm wrong because. The government had a bank. Well, they don't. It's taxpayer money.

[00:09:32] Yeah. Yeah. So. So then essentially they are paying for people's college. They are. But so my whole thing is. And I was just gonna say, because some people are gonna be like, well, some of those loans were subsidized. It's like, well, okay, there's gonna be a degree of caveat here because a lot of people's loan portfolios aren't a case by case basis. But. And here's the part that's gonna piss some people off because you're never gonna make everybody happy.

[00:09:58] But you would if you would solve the crisis without giving people. Like a. Where'd you go? Oh, did I freeze? I can't hear you. Did I freeze? I can't hear you. It's on your end. Cause YouTube can hear us. Anything? Can you hear me? Papa?

[00:10:29] Do you wanna build a snowman? I know it's on your end, buddy. Headphones? Now you got me all paranoid. What is going on now? I think it's your headphones. It's your headphones. See, I heard that. I can hear just fine.

[00:10:58] Can you, can you hear me? Yes. Yeah, I can hear you. Okay. Why did that stop? Don't know. I got an idea. Hold on. We're figuring out the technical difficulties.

[00:11:29] What about now? What up? Can you hear me? Not yet. I still, I still can't hear you. Try it without headphones. Hold on. Let me double. I don't know why I said that. Cause you can't hear me. All right. Now I can hear you. We're good. Oh, you got it. Okay, cool. Yeah. That was weird. But anyway, I don't know what the hell's wrong. Yeah. So I, I will preface with if I'm wrong and those loans are actually held by a bank, this,

[00:11:57] this really doesn't work, but I, you could tweak it to make it work so that everybody, nobody's thrilled, but everybody's content. So the caveat would be if you've already paid your student loans, then you're kind of S.O.L., but you can make the argument that if you're able to pay off your student loans and clearly you got a job in which you were successful enough to do so. So yes, it's unfair. But like, to your point, the government should have never gotten involved in student debt in the first place. So.

[00:12:27] So according to this, it says student loans can be held either by the federal government or private institutions such as banks. The type of loan determines who owns it. Federal student loans are owned and managed by the United States Department of Education. They're the most common type. So they are owned by the Department of Education and they are looking to dismantle. Yeah. Which that's so in this. Send it back to the states, man.

[00:12:55] Well, here's the here's the really frustrating part about the Trump administration for me, which kind of is all encompassing. A lot of the things they're doing, I'm with them in spirit. It's the like I'm pro end goal of what they're doing. It's the manner in which they're doing it. The number one thing the Trump administration is doing that I have a problem with is like the Department of Education is a perfect example. I'm all for getting rid of the Department of Education, but they're doing it before they

[00:13:22] have the new plan formulated. That's the thing. They don't need a new plan. It needs to go back to the states and each. Okay, so choose how they educate. But there's things that the Department of Education does that like granted they shouldn't be doing it right. Well, managing student loans, for example. And they suck at it. Well, I again, I agree. Right. But this is this is goes back to Obamacare. It's like. And Trump, this is Trump logic here. So.

[00:13:53] Yes, Trump wanted to repeal Obamacare, but he didn't have an alternative. Yeah. So he kept it in place because Obama is like, don't get me wrong here. And this is the most frustrating thing about being a moderate is it's something. Well, like Obamacare sucks, but it's better than nothing. Right. But really, is it? Yes, it is. Is it really nothing? Yes. Yes. Because Obamacare. Hold on. Indiana has healthy Indiana plan.

[00:14:23] If other states can't figure out how to literally help low income people. Like they don't deserve to be a state like literally Indiana literally taxes people on cigarettes to pay for health care. When you said cigarettes, you said it like Forrest Gump. And I don't know why that just made me like. Here's a they tax people. You got any cigarettes. They tax people on cigarettes. But like that's what I'm saying.

[00:14:48] Like if all these meth towns from Shelbyville or not Shelbyville, but from Indiana can literally get this done, then any other state can do it. And I'm fairly certain California has their own state health care probably for low income people, too. They're not just relying on Obamacare. No, no, I think I think they're using. Well, but here's the thing. OK, right. So and it's not cheap for people who are over the income limits like it's like insane how much it costs for insurance.

[00:15:17] And well, a lot of people have been paying in cash. They've been asking their doctors, oh, how much is that in cash? And then the doctors give them like, oh, my gosh, like 85 percent discount. Well, that has less to do with cash and more to do with how it like the issue isn't corruption. It's corruption. Well, I don't know. Like, yes, I don't know that corruption is the best word. It's more collusion than I get.

[00:15:47] That's what I'm saying. Corruption is not big. Pharmac together. The doctors are together like they all see it's big pharma in the insurance companies, too. The doctors are caught in the middle. Oh, no, the doctors are just as guilty. Some kickbacks. Don't don't let them lie. I've never met a doctor. That's that's like not push pharmaceuticals. Like I've never had a doctor that hasn't pushed pharmaceuticals. Oh, you know what? On me specifically to accept chiropractors. But do we count them as doctors? No, we do not.

[00:16:16] Yeah, it's holistic, you know, and honestly, holistic is the way to go, except for like if you have cancer or something like that. And then I'll just tell you to fast. We'll see among among other things. I mean, so my actually my interview with Nat, which you you can't watch on YouTube because YouTube removed it for medical information. But Nat, who's a holistic natural healer, you can see it on Spotify on the RTA podcast.

[00:16:45] During my conversation with her, I basically laid out like here. Here's my thing. Like, I think holistic is great for prevention. But once you're actually sick, a lot of times you do actually need medical intervention. It depends. It depends on the illness. And holistic can help for sure. But literally everything, everything that you have, anything that you would ever have or ever have is all 100 percent due to environment or food.

[00:17:15] That's it. Genetic abnormalities. Diabetes, diabetes, for example. Well, diabetes, what one? One. Like, yeah, like that's that's. Well, but even but even to your point, like, yes. But diabetes one literally probably comes from the mother who's probably not eating so well while she's pregnant. It's genetic. Not getting the right nutrients. Like, I'm not saying it's not genetic, but I'm saying like that they're trying to say genetic markers for like psychopaths and murderers and whatnot.

[00:17:43] And I'm just like, well, what about when they were molested as a three year old? I mean, they grew up with that. And then they turned into what they are. To be fair, but I would still make the case like I'll use the diabetes as an example example, like even type two diabetes. Right. Like, yes, you're right. That's an environmental factor for the most part. But once you have it. You do need medical intervention. Diabetes, too. Not necessarily. Not necessarily. Absolutely.

[00:18:13] Absolutely. Like you don't have a choice, but actually there are. I don't I don't know if this is true or not, but you've you've heard of Ozempic. Apparently that helps your body to start creating your own insulin. So the thing is, it's actually I don't know if this is true or not, but it's not accurate. It's helping diabetics because it curbs appetite. No, no, no. Like it helps their bodies produce their own insulin. Like this is what I read. I don't know if it's that would that would that would that that might be true for type two. I'd have to read it.

[00:18:43] But the thing is there are other things that Ozempic this. Yeah, I wouldn't do that shit. But anyway. Well, funny. You mentioned Ozempic because I read today. I read today. They did a study in the UK, which is not definitive. It's one study. Right. But so ever since so, so sent it came around, I'm kind of like, I'm like, nah, I'm there's something about it. I just for one thing, I feel like it's cheating for people who aren't taking it for legitimate medical reasons and South Park skewered it.

[00:19:12] That episode is so funny, but they did a study in the UK that is now linking Osempic potentially to an increased risk of blindness. And I'm like, see, that's the thing. They're touting this thing as a miracle drug and it's, it's not new, but in terms of being available widely on the mass market, it's pretty new. Like the drug itself is not, it's not super new. Right. But people just need to learn how to fast. That's it.

[00:19:40] Learn how to fast and everything will be okay. Well, literally I haven't had, I haven't had a cough or sniffle and like over a year and a half. Well, I wouldn't say a cough or sniffle. I've had issues other than that because I'm crazy, but like. Like. So. George. But like, dude, fasting, like it's, it's insane. Like, I don't mean like days. I mean, like 16, 18 hours. Yeah. And it's different for everybody. That's another thing our healthcare system really needs to understand is that it's not

[00:20:10] a one size fits all. Well, because like there are, there are people and I don't mean. Like there are people that are legitimately hypoglycemic and. For sure. Justin. I agree, man. Better with some big anything. It's not a shortage. Yeah. I mean. Yeah. I should. But anyway, back to my point. There are people that are legitimately hypoglycemic who if they were to fast, they would have issues. Now that's not most people. No.

[00:20:37] But if you have, if you are legitimately hypoglycemic, there's like people who legitimately can't eat gluten because they have an actual allergy. Do their studies out that literally show that people who fast regularly actually have a higher metabolism. Right. Right. No, I'm not disputing that. I'm just saying. They wouldn't be hypo. So, uh, well, no, there are, there are some people who are clinically hypoglycemic, meaning their body just does not. They're not, they're not paying attention to what they need to be eating.

[00:21:06] Like I guarantee you look at their diet. It's full of carbohydrates and literally like not enough fat and then not enough protein. Maybe. Like literally if you have a high, no, if you have a high protein and high fat diet, you're good. If you have a low carb, if you have low carb attached to that. Great. But like, don't get me wrong. Eat your pasta people. But my point is my point of it. Yeah. My point is it's not a one size fits all. Now that being said, there is something called, and I know this is a dirty word now.

[00:21:36] It's coming back though, but it was a dirty word for a very long time. There is such a thing as normal, like normal use. Cause everybody used to say like, it's on a spectrum. It's on toast. You know, they're like, it's on a spectrum. And I have to remind people. I have to remind people that a spectrum. Yes. The spectrums exist, but there are poles of a spectrum. It's like on, on what part of the spectrum is obesity. It's like anything past this is obesity.

[00:22:04] Like, you know, like get it together people. But anorexia. I'm already getting sidetracked. I'm already getting sidetracked. No, not really. Cause we're arguing the merits of logic. Oh, okay. What was I saying? So yeah, my, my whole bit about the student loans, uh, wipe the interest off, make them pay back the principal balance that they borrowed because yes, they signed the paper. Government. Absolutely. Yes. Yeah. I'm talking government. Privates. Privates. Totally different.

[00:22:30] Well, and the difference is, is that you can technically bankrupt a private. You can get rid of a private student loan through bankruptcy. You can't do that with a federal student loan. You cannot declare bankruptcy on a federal student loan. So yeah. But what's the government going to do if you owe money? Put, put you in. I mean, all, all it effectively does is ruin your credit score, but. Oh, a government that can't even like literally fucking manage their finances is going to like scare me with a credit score.

[00:23:01] Well, I mean, the, the way to survive without a credit score is don't borrow money, but. Oh yeah. It's. Oh, you can live without a credit score. You don't need it. You absolutely can. But the thing is you have, you have to learn how to manage your finances. Well, that's. You don't have. Yeah. And honestly, I think a lot of banks are going like, I guarantee you within the next 10 years, credit score will be a, it won't matter anymore because like. Oh no. It's going to matter more. This, this last, I don't think so, dude.

[00:23:30] Like these last three, four years, dude, it's just like, speaking of government finances, what do you guys think about Trump firing all the federal employees? Which federal employees? They. I was going to say, cause cause some, some he can, some he can't. It depends. Is it the 87,000 IRS employees? Because I don't think he hired. I had an in-depth con with my American girlfriend who works for the government. Well, is your name even toast? Your girl works for the government.

[00:24:00] Damn. Yeah. He's a, he's an informant. We're keeping an eye on you now. You're Canadian informant. You inform the U S about the goings on in Canada. And it was like, they still say a. It was grants. Cool. Well, well, Oh, by the way, Matt virus. And I invented a new, uh, C suite position today.

[00:24:27] But yeah, CEO, CFO, COO. Well, now you have CFG, which is the chief fall, the chief fall guy. Uh, Trump needs one. Trump needs one. Oh, you've got hose and different area codes. You're like James Bond. It's got girlfriends all over the world. Not Jason Derulio, I guess would be more appropriate.

[00:24:56] Anyway, that's a very dated reference. What were we talking about? Oh yeah. But I would like to point out. So the Doge, the Doge is making the rounds, right? Which by the way, everyone, gosh, I see all of you watching. Join us in the chat. Let us know what you're paying and like the video. If you would, please. Yet. I'm not allowed to leave my country right now. Yeah. No, you are not. Naughty, naughty. For toast. Yeah, dude. It's, it's wild.

[00:25:24] Uh, like what Doge has been finding like the, uh, and the funny thing is people keep like saying that he's lying about it. I'm like, what, what would he have to gain about lying about finding, uh, like money that's being spent on condoms, like, and, and other things like that's the only one I have right now, but I did like the video you did very much. What video was that? Oh, I did like the video. I read it wrong.

[00:25:55] Thank you. Hey, thank you, Haley. I had to read that four times to understand it. Um, so here's, here's my thing about Doge and the, if anything's going to set you off, it's this, right? Well, not really. I think you'll agree with me. I'm legitimately flabbergasted at some of the things they're doing, but also the number of people who, who are Doge. No. Okay.

[00:26:22] So the number of people that are anti what Doge is doing and they're like defending all this incredibly stupid and wasteful spending that like, like they're, they're clearly uncovering what is effectively a giant money laundering operation. And one, if there were some, I don't even remember his name. There was some idiot in Congress. I don't know. There was a Democrat who was like, well, Marjorie Taylor Greene showed it.

[00:26:52] He actually said, I'll give credit where credit's due. He said dick pic on the, on the congressional floor. So at least he's using big boy language. It was like, well, Marjorie Taylor Greene showed us dick pics. I'll be a censor. So I thought I'd show a dick pic. And he put up a picture of Elon Musk. And I'm like, clever. It's like, what are you doing, dude? Like you're, you're, you're outing yourself as part of the part of this administration, part of this organization. That's just fun. Is that slander? No, not technically.

[00:27:24] He's not stating a fact. No, no, no. He's stating an opinion, not a fact. So in order for it to be slander, which in this case it would be defamation, not slander. But yeah, in order to be considered defamation, it's a really, really strong burden of proof. And it's actually harder to do with somebody who's a public figure like Elon Musk is. But he has to state something as a fact because ironically enough, legal eagle on YouTube, great YouTube channel.

[00:27:53] It's a lawyer who goes into a lot of pop culture movie things, but from a legal lens, people were asking him if break could sue Kendrick Lamar. Email me or comment on YouTube, but he can't talk about what he's asking if he's texting us for a false argument. He can file a suit, which is pretty hard to... ...that's what I'm saying.

[00:28:20] I feel like he can start with a false argument as a false argument because he's not too much. Or it could be in front of this article. Or it could be the same. I mean, he can file a suit, but it's, it's, it's, it would be pretty hard to... reputation or your revenue or something oh is he suing he would be suing for that fucking pussy well i don't know i frankly if i were drake i would too because that's a pretty serious you come back with a quip man like you come back out with something else too don't be a

[00:28:47] bitch dude drake talking all tough and then do you know what do you do you know what the allegation is they said he was a said he was a pedo yeah come back out with something man how about you don't be fucking guilty looking well okay so that's that's the key though is not only that but he didn't he didn't call him he called him a pedo in a song correct yeah yeah it was a lyric so it's it's a song or our song is taken as fact well that's gonna that's gonna be for the

[00:29:15] lawyers to to decide but i ain't gonna go nowhere but here's adrenochrome consumer yeah drake's a pussy i i like a couple of his songs but other than that like he's he's a fucking coward well but here's my point too is the statement also has to be proven false there you go exactly spur yeah he he dm'd uh 13 year old bobby brown wait a minute isn't millie bobby brown like 30

[00:29:44] no she's only like she's only like 20 21 what oh i'm thinking of bryce i'm thinking of bryce alice howard never mind oh she's she she's redheaded isn't she yeah jurassic world yeah i was getting my only one i don't know the second one i don't know who millie bobby brown is then anyway 11 off straight this dude's never seen stranger things make fun of him i saw the first

[00:30:13] episode oh okay okay yeah i remember reading about that i tuned out because i was like that's odd yeah um but anyway so this guy in congress did the whole like dick pic thing and he thought he was clever which so many democrats do this and it's just to be fair republicans do it too but

[00:30:38] where this might get you hot i don't know do you consider yourself a republican no okay so this won't get you hot uh today i think it was the house they voted to raise the debt ceiling four trillion dollars so yeah doge is uncovering doge is uncovering billions of dollars and then they voted to raise oh yeah we gotta raise it well i mean to be fair i guess they're probably trying

[00:31:08] trying to keep the the government running and unfortunately they can't find every single thing right away i imagine i'm not i'm not saying it's smart like stop i mean if they have to to avoid the government shutdown i mean do what you gotta do but like come on well but all the only reason i'm bringing this up is because when the democrats were in more control or total control and they did

[00:31:34] the same thing you had republicans grandstanding being like if the government's gotta shut down so be it and listen i'm ron swanson i'm over here like slash it slash it slash it slash it and the episode of parks and rec where the government shuts down and ron is like happy as a clam i identify with that episode so much who what's his name uh offerman nick offer nick offerman b listen people

[00:32:02] listen to me look me in the eyeballs be a ron swanson not a nick offerman dude's a cook he's funny though i'll give him credit he's a good he's a good actor just like stick stick to stick to actors but his personal uh political opinions that they're just trash like like i don't i was like dude come on me and i was like how do you pursue how do you personify

[00:32:29] nick or not nick but uh swanson and then you say this and you're like how how because he's a good actor some of well from what i've read it looks like trump is reinvesting the money doge is finding into the military which actually worries me but he can't do that oh he's i toast listen brother i would like for you to be on our side but i don't want canada to be a 51st state because that's too

[00:32:57] many liberals voting yeah no we've already had this discussion if canada becomes the 51st state they will never there won't be a republican president for at least 50 years and then we'll all be broken living in fucking third world country like completely like no joke i wouldn't call canada a third world country but i don't mean canada i'm saying i'm saying if we oh you mean we'll be these idiots everybody in this vicinity so be so because if canada and the united states do the fusion dance

[00:33:25] they turn into fat go tanks he says trump is already making my country more liberal i'm sorry justin like you guys already don't have true freedom of speech so i feel bad for you you get arrested for saying something online that's crazy well that's more of a problem in the uk honestly but i'd say canada too i've i've i've heard yeah i'm just saying i'm not saying it's like i'm not saying they could just yeah yeah i know but it's like oh you made a post let me well what kills me is there

[00:33:54] was somebody in the uk who's uh i don't think he's serving i think he's facing jail time for sharing a post he didn't even post it he shared a post now granted he's probably well he's probably to be fair he's probably going to get off because they do have freedom of speech it's just not quite as well protected as the united states constitution does i have freedom of speech well but honestly my favorite

[00:34:20] argument against this whole 14th amendment thing is everywhere being like okay so we get to reinterpret the second amendment next and i'm like this is what i'm talking about guys you have to think about the consequences of your actions because if you reinterpret one amendment then they're all up for grabs because you have now set the precedent freedom of expression stop it how many times has

[00:34:45] your car been broken into by addicts holy shit i'm assuming you're talking to justin yeah i was gonna say i don't live anywhere and i i definitely uh love for someone to do something like that i got a lot of pinup rage i do not know i do not know i know somebody stole my ev car charger out of my garage

[00:35:08] though that it's been a while it was i had to buy a new one yeah it's like you are you are up in the boonies like in an up-and-coming neighborhood it was formerly the hood not gonna lie it's coming around it's shifted it's shifting um but speaking with speaking i don't know that's not a good segue

[00:35:33] i need a segue for our sponsor what's something that's awesome uh i'll tell you something that's awesome yes freedom is awesome and you know what else is awesome our friends at visit.ai listen if you create content like we do one of the surefire ways to succeed on youtube if you don't want to be a and buy views and likes and subscribers because we don't because we don't want to be like drake we

[00:36:00] don't want to be a bitch you have to produce youtube shorts and shorts content for other social media platforms and here's the thing guys you can do it on your own it's just really time consuming and especially if you want to do it well if you want to make shitty ones yeah you can probably crap out a few in an hour but thanks to our friends at visit.ai we can now produce a ton of short form content in a fraction of the time and it actually looks really good

[00:36:30] the platform's phenomenal i found it and i immediately had a zoom meeting with their developers they're a great company they're a growing company they're a new company newish i mean they've been around for a few years but they're really expanding and growing listen guys for what you pay they have so many fantastic tools the shorts creation which not only creates the clips for you because i've compared it like if you're a capcut subscriber capcut has a similar function doesn't

[00:37:00] have even remotely close to the editing tools or viral score because one thing wizard does is they'll take your clips and they'll write them on a scale of one to ten for viral predictability meaning like if it's a ten it's most likely going to go viral or be well received and then obvious you know obviously nine eight seven so on so on and it tells you why too so it gives you some sort of indication and also a new feature is that they will now generate a social post using their ai

[00:37:30] technology so you don't even have to think up the text anymore when you post it so it's great and then also has a lot of other tools like they have a video translator which i've used it is awesome i was it's kind of scary how good it is frankly auto captions that you can edit or leave out if you like for me personally i prefer to add my own captions but you don't have to y'all need some

[00:37:54] freedom but as if that weren't good enough if you use our link and promo code aip in the description our link in the description use promo code aip you get five percent off your first 12 months of payments off that already low price so you should totally if you're making content you should totally check out our friends at visit.ai now i've got i've never had any problems with visor

[00:38:22] bizarre awesome that that is really awesome though well and you've seen if you subscribe to this channel you've seen some of the shorts that have been created using visit.ai so sorry there's but there's been comments going back and forth i'm enjoying it yeah that's that's that's scary if you can't speak your own opinion like in a public setting and you have to be fear of being arrested

[00:38:50] like that's an issue well that's the whole reason behind freedom of speech or even find i'm sorry i say arrested or find like you know i know they're probably not gonna arrest you but like oh yeah yeah but it's all it's all in good faith like no nobody's uh an enemy here so it's all good i was talking to you toast quite lively chat quite a lively chat we have this evening as long as george don't show up it's george don't you'll be like first amendment protection

[00:39:20] that was arnold not george yeah like i still i still can't get over that we need our freedom give these people freedom dude i'm telling you what in 86 if arnold schwarzenegger and play george washington that would have been a badass movie just for some reason george washington has like the thickest austrian accent ever

[00:39:52] come on well i mean you gotta think he probably he probably had some type of accent it was probably english yeah yeah that's what i'm gonna say it's george come on we've got to get the valley forge we have to cross the river in the middle of the night we have to cross the river and beat those german bastards i think i think if you guys did elect schwarzenegger for a dictator you probably wouldn't have any

[00:40:19] issues dude you guys would probably have awesome movies all the time and not from him like he would disapprove him i don't know if that's true or not that's left field it violates the constitution stop it who was your daddy and what does he do he's now back in the app store oh shit oh i didn't even know it left

[00:40:47] yeah it wasn't available in the app store for a long time see i was so confused i never asked anybody when they said i didn't want to sound stupid when they were saying oh i deleted it and then and i was like oh i was like you can't download it again i was like why no it wasn't available in the app store yeah to answer your question toast yes the app was functioning but a lot of people like dumbasses deleted it when it stopped working yeah why would you do that that's silly i mean i get it so some people are quick to

[00:41:17] remove apps off their phone if they're like if it's not gonna work then why have it well i understand here here's what people don't understand right so the way that law fear well no the way that law is written like people don't understand this when tiktok wasn't when tiktok stopped working it's because tiktok shut it off mm-hmm theoretically i knew that i was like i could just use a vpn oh i did it totally worked but theoretically right the law doesn't say you can't have tiktok

[00:41:45] the law says they can't provide it through the app store it's actually a really easy workaround and like a vpn even works with print because like i use cap cut and if they take my cap cut god damn it there'd be hell to pay but you're right i know justin i based on some people just admitted a lot of just assumed it wasn't come back but i can't read tonight i i i know what you mean but yeah yeah yeah they just

[00:42:15] they thought it wasn't coming back so they just deleted it and like i said i i know but i was i'm such a hoarder when it comes to apps i probably have 45 000 on my phone no i'm just kidding well i thought you were gonna say whore and i was like not really whore not anymore whore not since you went overseas whore where's xavier he completely misunderstood that what did he what did he say it

[00:42:43] he's now using it as a metaphor for anything sexual and i'm like no that's not that's not how it works he thought i don't know because i told him the story verb or actually yeah i told him the story verbatim of what happened and he took that as like a ploy to get somebody to have sex with you like you tell them you're going overseas and i'm like no did you not listen to the story it's getting a bj on the toilet but like i know people call it blumkeys

[00:43:12] but the thing is the reason being there was a uh i prefer going overseas my one of my good friends was taking a dump and a girl literally came in and was talking to him about going overseas as as he was in the military and she proceeded to blah while he was taking a shit so and so i i called it from then on going overseas not a bump key because a bump key is like yeah but going overseas is funnier when you tell the backstory

[00:43:42] yeah so but so he took that as anything sexual and i'm like no that's it's not funny when it's like that it's funny when it's specific or pussy yeah what pussy effect nah i don't know we'll workshop it pun guys we're punny guys i'm assuming alcohol was involved to answer that question she was she was pretty drunk

[00:44:13] your american women are built different oh dude they drink a lot they can anywho um the one thing i wanted to make sure to touch on though because i don't want to i don't want to just you know own the libs tonight i want to yeah i want to gustly give some the republicans some shit because it just wouldn't be me if i didn't try to piss off both sides go for it i'll debunk you if i can no you'll you'll agree with me on this um but like

[00:44:43] okay so the elon thing the the elon thing um oh my heart goes out to you is that what you mean well okay so here's the thing about that there's literally still people arguing with me about that i know are you like fucking stupid like you're fucking stupid like he literally said it after he did it my heart goes out to all of you and i was like like come the fuck on like it wasn't okay but here's here's

[00:45:11] so lame on everybody's part or he's a nazi well here's the thing about that though so it's like i i definitely give elon the benefit of the doubt i don't think he intended it to be uh uh how are you but also also i gotta like dude optics you have to consider optics he's autistic fine you have to consider people need to remember that

[00:45:40] they're going to do awkward things he was literally so happy did you see him stimming i did like i did i did he was so happy and everybody doing that is like less of a person because of it like my son is autistic and i'm like dude if i find somebody making fun of him i'm gonna break their fucking nose no see i'm not making fun of him i'm telling him i know i'm talking to other people yeah like i i know you well see here's i'm probably stimming right now because i'm playing with this

[00:46:10] i wasn't even i didn't even realize i was doing it but like okay elon is a smart guy like he's a he's a very smart guy and i gotta believe that he can recognize the optics now if i'd been somebody who was helping him maintain his public image i would have gone out there and said hey elon you gotta a little bit but it's like you gotta get ahead of this thing you gotta make a statement and say listen that's not what i intended like i but i understand

[00:46:39] how that gesture can be misconstrued it was not my intention right that's all i would have said i i think there were way too many people initially that were kind of like dismissive of it because i'm like i'm like he didn't commit a crime and i'm not saying he's a nazi right but again even if he was it's still freedom of speech unless he's like literally calling for mass genocide there's nothing you can do about someone saying

[00:47:08] that they identify as a nazi like i'm not saying you should i'm just saying there ain't shit you can do about it unless they're literally like threatening somebody like that's why we have freedom of speech in this country there's no there's no ifs ands buts wells nothing there's no wells there's no nothing like it's either freedom of speech without threats like you know what i mean well okay here's here's the thing about this example you're gonna look like an asshole well but here's the thing about this example specifically so to identify

[00:47:37] as a nazi is kind of calling for mass genocide kind of part and parcel it's kind of their thing like i like there's no such thing as nazi light like it's kind of you're kind of all in or not like oh yeah i've never known a nazi to be like you know i said i said that as an extreme i know i know that's kind of a really sickly funny thing it's like

[00:48:07] like nazi light it's like you know we really like the economic reparations but not so much about the racism he says there's a clip of my heart will go out to you hand gesture that didn't look like that gesture come on dude well yeah people well because like the thing is oh i mean but here's the thing democrats have done it before i've seen videos of them doing it i mean are we

[00:48:36] talking about about a full-blown national socialist i'm not sure i understand the question there uh toast so are you are you saying that you believe his uh his hand gesture was a nazi salute is that what you're saying justin i was gonna say for my two cents no i was gonna i was gonna say like yeah that's that's a reach and you might want to stretch

[00:49:10] i just think optics should would have been better appreciated um don't get me wrong like uh it it it looked a little funky but like i said i i i the guy has asperger's and it's like you know like no matter what it looked like he literally said my heart goes out to you what does he do in the nazi salute and saying his heart goes up to hitler like yeah it's the roman salute and it's actually the roman

[00:49:39] oh god no stop stop stop no no stop time out no pause explain don't go don't go there don't go there right don't go there explain explain okay yes at one at one time it was the american salute children there you can see photos of children making that hand gesture to the american flag because that used to be what we do for the pledge of allegiance here's the thing though much like the swastika which didn't start out as a symbol of hatred

[00:50:09] racism and bigotry but the nazis did such a great fucking job of rebranding all that that you can now not escape it it's kind of like now a white hood of a certain shape is synonymous with the ku klux klan even if you're intending we're taking it back it's one of the few things you can't really take back so like yes thousands of years ago it was the roman salute which actually is incidentally why to this day if you're saluting with a sword or a bladed weapon

[00:50:39] you still hold it sticking it out notice my hand it's not in that because it was the same what's that yeah that's the thing about germans they're very efficient pencil moustache that's another yeah justin i were talking about that on a separate conversation it's like yeah another thing they ruined pencil mustache because if you have a pencil mustache now charlie chaplin had one before but now if you have one there's one guy people think of so chaplin or chaplin chaplin

[00:51:08] with the with the l why am i why is chaplin sound so familiar wasn't there a singer songwriter chaplin chopin ch-o-p-i-n no it's a it's literally c-h-a-p-i-n or charlie chaplin had to shave it i know right who said i don't know the roman salute was so you could be seen from a distance by a city state yeah and we have that today it's called the wave yeah so why are people getting all

[00:51:38] upset over it it's like because of the connotation that the hand gesture now has thanks to mustache man and his snappily dressed minions like if people like literally don't like let that one go that's like so fucking stupid because literally like the dude was so happy and the thing is autistic people they like to speak with their hands jake i'm just kidding but no that's truth like

[00:52:07] autistic people speak with their hands so the thing is when he was like so like just uh he was just i don't know like and then the dude's not american so the thing is he's going to do different things and i guarantee you he's a very uh you're still there right what's that okay just making sure you're still there yeah i couldn't hear you um but no like so i mean he's gonna do awkward things he's not american like you know he didn't grow up with you know what we know and this and that so it's a little different yes

[00:52:37] but he would have grown up with a knowledge of world war ii doesn't matter i guarantee he was a big roman fan you know but i'm a big roman fan and i don't go around you're also american that that has very little to do with it dude because you grew up in a different education system than him so therefore it could be a little it could be a little skewed the thing is like you gotta expand your horizons not everybody thinks the same way i'm not even wow i'm not gonna comment

[00:53:07] on the irony of that no seriously because the thing is it seems like i'm being more open-minded here than uh other people like uh i think if he had come out and been like my bad that's what that's all i'm saying because i don't think he literally said my heart goes out to all of you right after he did it there's no fucking coming back from that that's that's stupid

[00:53:37] like that's stupid okay i'm gonna disagrees with that that's that's pretty stupid oh okay i'm gonna i'm gonna share with you another example of something oddly similar that happened so thanks to paramount pictures americans now know who robbie williams is and he tells a story about when exactly toast i agree the world's richest man has no one to answer to if he is an american citizen he does answer to our government

[00:54:06] to be fair he answers to our government now by the way um yeah yeah because he's an employee no because paid or is he just no he is not getting he is so technically no he's not a government employee yeah it's like he can literally just be like okay i'm gonna buy your country he is your government now you know a lot of people are saying that they're saying saying oh it's president musk and i'm like you really think trump's gonna let that happen you really think trump you know everything that musk is doing

[00:54:36] trump has to okay that yeah head in everything hand my head well technically okay so technically he answers to the president yeah which is uh also answers to the people so he is answering to the people in a manner of speaking but he also can't do anything that's like going to be egregious or against anything like he's not going to

[00:55:06] break the law like well so here well he's he's technically broken the law already yeah how uh he violated several privacy laws when it comes to government information and people's personal information elon yes well those specifically i don't know the specific law but like accessing people's uh social security number and addresses through the department of education or the department of treasury's payment system that information is supposed to be confidential and he effectively had all of it now they're

[00:55:36] the court there's been a court injunction that says they can't do that anymore but he's already had access to the information well of course muskid thinks he's president i mean he sees him on tv how old is he oh i misread that he told trump to shut up no i didn't see that that'd be funny i didn't see that's hilarious i'll tell you to shut up you little exactly toast

[00:56:06] exactly right that's a good one but here's my point though just because okay i love the spirit of our judicial system and our laws because here's the point like you can have a criminal defendant that is blatantly guilty that person still has constitutional rights and a right to due process no matter

[00:56:36] what the circumstances so even if elon and doge are uncovering fraud they still have to follow the rules because if you don't have if you can justify not following the rules then you can come up with any solution where you can justify anything and that is dangerous so let me fix this real quick get rid of the department of education there you go what's that because you

[00:57:05] said that's how it that's how he accessed people's information was through well it's not it's not it's not just the department of education also through the treasury the treasury yeah well now see now how did he get a hold of that information why wasn't there anyone to stop him they tried how could they try and not be able to stop him that's that's confusing okay are you saying our government doesn't work well we're broken well

[00:57:35] i'm being very facetious right now i know i know but no that's a that's a so basically democracy is a fucking joke sure musk and does essentially threatened to threaten them to get in and then it takes it takes the courts a while to do things which they actually did this pretty quick i think it was only a matter of two weeks before they got the injunction which is quite separation of powers but what dancing real

[00:58:04] close to violating the separation of powers well technically they already have i'm not dancing i don't dance i just pulled my pants and do the rockaway now lean back technically they have violated the separation of powers but in the ways that they have there have already been several court injunctions to stop them orlebroad them from doing so i.e. the 14th amendment i know i keep going back to it but that might be the most egregious

[00:58:33] example of trump needs to get away from these idiot lawyers that are advising him because some of these motherfuckers are stupid either that or they know they're going to get away with it and nothing's going to happen but they're not look at the last administration and what they got away with i think we're okay no okay no i'm not saying they should but that's certainly not true dude we need insane reform like within our own government like it's insane here's what i mean when i'm calling their lawyers stupid like okay

[00:59:05] so it says right at the outset of the constitution that he'd be tried what's that he said how would you feel if trump ignored the courts and caused the constitutional crisis i said he would be tried that's the beauty of the constitution he wouldn't be able to exactly see this is a this is the thing uh where uh like and i'm not saying obviously you don't know anything about america because obviously you do but like literally how we react to certain things like if it has anything to do with the constitution yeah we're

[00:59:34] gonna hang somebody over it especially even if even if he's a president like if he did something to literally go against it like well but that's that's what i keep trying to say he already has but he's been stopped well the 14th amendment yeah but you said he was stopped yeah uh there was a court injunction that blocked it they said no you don't have the authority to do this well a constitutional crisis would mean that he was successful in what he did so he was stopped right in your opinion so

[01:00:04] therefore nothing well that's not my opinion a judge like several judges have said absolutely not uh the president does not have the authority to amend or change the constitution what is the 14th amendment uh this the section that they're talking about specifically deals with birthright citizenship um the 14th this so the 14th amendment was ratified it was one of the civil rights amendments after the civil war specifically the point they're talking about is birthright citizenship that says anyone who was born

[01:00:34] in the united states and subject to its jurisdiction is a citizen of the united states now here's why his lawyer is a fucking idiot and vivekramaswamy in this case so they're making the argument that since parents uh sorry since people who are undocumented in the united states who are not citizens are not subject to the jurisdiction of the united states that is fucking stupid on its face because if you're not subject to the jurisdiction of

[01:01:04] the united states then you cannot be prosecuted for any crime civil or federal i'm sorry civil or criminal because you're i'm sorry they just send them back they send them back to their region but but the issue isn't the immigrants the issue is the children that are born yeah and the thing is they're not just gonna leave those kids here like if somebody gets like i mean that that kid would probably go into the system foster care or whatnot but like well and then but here's and here's the other thing too so there's been

[01:01:33] don't break the country's law okay i know i know i say say it sounds horrible but at the same time you go into other countries they'll kill you for it not that many it's also not that simple like the the number one comment that just irks the shit out of me lately is just do it legally explain to me how to do it legally port of entry you but that's you that's it's not that simple sure it is no

[01:02:03] it's not i guarantee because you have to have a visa of some type to enter the country well when you go there and claim asylum if you're asylum seeking theoretically but that's assuming that you can get there they gotta ride those coyotes they gotta ride those coyotes was okay i got comma but isn't jd vance neil musk encouraging him to do so because that's what it looks like not trying to be antagonistic no i'm not taking this is a spirited debate and i like it um what are you talking about specifically justin that jd and

[01:02:33] elon are encouraging him to do well he said because i yeah he said home now the kid is a ward of the state theoretically toast that's why a lot of people have been clamoring for literal decades about some kind of immigration reform because here's the problem it's not easy to legally immigrate to the united states it's just not it's not easy it's not cheap it's not fast and a lot of it is temporary

[01:03:01] well and to be fair immigration like has kind of hit a stale point like uh i mean we can't be simply just like we're not a country of immigrants anymore like i hate yeah we oh no we absolutely are everybody here is here like the thing is we we needed them back in the day for uh for what what was it like you would know this uh back when uh we had mass immigration because we needed uh hands in the country for help we've we've always

[01:03:31] had mass immigration though that's that's the thing we actually in terms of raw okay yeah well i was gonna say in terms of raw numbers we don't have an immigration crisis in fact we could probably do well to receive more immigrants illegal immigration crisis but not well but but the only the only okay here's the thing though well there's i notice i will return momentarily momister oh he got the knock on the door

[01:04:01] exactly toast i agree it's not supposed to be easy like you know like i and like it sounds it sounds horrible like uh like you sound heartless but at the end of the day like these people are putting their kids in that situation so like if you don't want things to happen don't put your children in that situation don't put yourself in the situation it would appear they are encouraging trump to just ignore the judges and court orders claiming they are corrupt and radical but a lot of the judges blocking him are conservative

[01:04:30] reagan era judges yeah i'm not really too versed on uh what they're what uh executive orders they're blocking trump on but to be honest like uh it's i don't know like i'd have to look into it more i don't really know what what they're blocking on like i would have to know the details of why they're blocking him because it has anything to do with like money or something like that well

[01:05:00] you kind of have to you kind of have to take it on a case-by-case basis um what was i talking about oh so this okay the reason we have an illegal immigration crisis is because i think it was in 1996 clinton of all people um or i should say under the clinton administration really stiffened the penalties for illegally entering the country you used to have a band like let's say prior to i think it was

[01:05:30] 1996 it might have been earlier but i'm going to say 96 it was in the 90s let's say that you got caught crossing the border illegally into into the united states right um you might get a ban of six months from crossing the border right it wasn't that big of a deal like you'd be penalized and there was usually some kind of fine but it wasn't that big of a deal when they stiffened the penalties what that did was it people didn't want to risk getting caught crossing the border illegally

[01:05:59] so they just stayed because what a lot of people were doing was just coming over and working for like a season for farm work or coming over for six months then going back blah blah blah it really wasn't that big of a problem but of course fucking newt gingrich-esque republicans were like we gotta stop the fucking brown people from making any money i don't know why newt gingrich sounds like nixon he sounded just like nixon he was a republican too

[01:06:29] but when they stiffened the penalties and like i'm giving full credit to the clinton administration because it was during a largely democrat administration that they did this because they stiffened the penalties right so now you can get up you can get up to a 10-year ban dude like well you you say that but you would you wouldn't like my stance on that i'd say but here's you want to stop a legal immigration completely if you get caught

[01:06:59] one time you're never allowed back in this country and if you if you come back in like you're going to go to prison or something in that prison but like i don't know like okay but what about somebody we've gotten to the point to where it's it's it's it's more of a it's more of an issue like uh it's it's not like how it was like back in the 90s all love and joy like there are people getting killed left and right and it's not the fact that like good people because it's illegal it's not the fact that it's not the fact that good people are getting caught it's the bad people not getting caught like i'm talking

[01:07:28] right right you know the murderers and the rapists and whatnot and everybody's like oh oh and it's like no not all of me fucking idiot stop taking everything no but here's the matter of fact but here's the problem though because of how our laws are now for people that are really paying for it are the people that are just trying to get here and live a better life because the criminals don't give a fuck they don't give a fuck if they get sent back and to be fair

[01:07:58] homin did say that he wasn't going after those people i mean to and that's in if you look at the raw numbers that thus far has been mostly true there have been some reports and i say reports are the grain of salt because i don't it may or may not be accurate publications well no here's the thing though so there have been confirmed reports of people being arrested but not necessarily deported and in fact this one flew under the radar a lot of those people who were detained by

[01:08:27] ice a lot of the non the non-criminal history people and who didn't have existing removal orders were released like now they have coordinates but they were released well i have a hunch they were released because uh the ice facilities are i think at 140 capacity um so there's a there's an issue there but here's here's the thing i really want to get back to though is the fact that so many people okay here's a perfect example right so tps tps stands for

[01:08:57] temporary protected status it is a it is a um what would you call that it was a program created by the government and i i get it temporaries in the name right but here's the thing so before trump was sworn in the biden administration extended tps for i think it was six countries right for another 18 months it gets re-evaluated every 18 months then they went back the trump administration went back in that rich christy gnome

[01:09:27] because i i hate that punt anyway she as the the secretary of homeland security decided it would be a good idea to rescind the extension and then cancel the tps extension for i know it was for venezuela i think they're evaluating other countries their logic being that the situation in venezuela is better except that it's not because the leader the leader i say in air quotes of venezuela just

[01:09:56] rigged a fucking election imagine that well it's not okay but here's my point because of that bureaucratic decision in april approximately 600 as much as 650 000 people will now become technically illegal purely due to a pin stroke

[01:10:26] that is why our immigration system is completely fucked because we gave these people permission to be here and now we're like nah now people are going to argue and say well yeah but it was always temporary yes it's temporary but it's based on the conditions of the country in question and i'm sorry but when you got a motherfucker that rigs democratic elections to stay in power that ain't a safe fucking place to be so

[01:10:58] see i'm not full asshole but okay so i would if i were president or emperor emperor if i were emperor emperor pilaf uh in in venezuela yeah maduro maduro oblongata something wrong with this maduro oblongata okay so yes if i were if i were

[01:11:28] emperor i would amend the tps program to where if that designation lasted for more than two years there would be a built-in path to citizenship for those that qualify that want it because i'm sorry if your country's completely fucked for two years and you're not safe to go back i feel like that's an automatic asylum claim honestly immigration should be difficult except for

[01:11:58] asylees no it shouldn't immigration should be so unbelievably easy because if it's easy simple and cheap when i say difficult i don't mean that they should have to do several hoops i mean it should be like 10 years like and i know that sounds crazy but like you know you mean like the process yeah because okay fair and remain in your country unless it's asylee unless it's asylum seeking like well no because if you're if you're moving for economic reasons 10 years is way

[01:12:27] too long well how much do we give uh like because i remember seeing that like is there a certain amount of money like james like how does that how does that maybe you might know more on this like uh how much would an average uh um i can't think right now um how much would an average uh immigrant get on like uh i can't fucking speak

[01:12:57] the uh government program food stamps and whatnot because like i i remember some of them so so then why did some of them have it was that california only that that would have been an in-state thing federally they do not the vast majority of you know yeah the vast majority of particularly undocumented immigrants do not they're ineligible and i like to remind everybody when when they were doing the covid stimulus payments if you were not at least a green

[01:13:26] card holder or a citizen you did not get any money even if you were here legally and paying taxes you had to be a qualifying green card holder uh i think if you had an h1 some kind of employment visa you may have i'd have to check on that i'm not sure um but even if you had a tin number and were paying taxes into the state and federal government you did not necessarily qualify for the covid aid and it's the same thing with the vast

[01:13:56] majority of aid programs like yeah if you go to an emergency room you're gonna get treatment but that's anybody whether you can pay or not oh you i believe you are wrong sir uh so according to the usda uh government website snap eligibility for non-citizens refugees or asylees or survivors of trafficking may qualify so it says may to be fair but the thing is there's that they could still qualify and to be honest with you no the qualification

[01:14:26] the qualification is if they get a green card because of those reasons in which case then they're a permanent resident no this is this is immigration status i know asylees survivors i know but you have to be granted you have to be granted those designations though and if you get that designation you are not undocumented so now what about asylum asylum seeking do that do they you have they no you do not qualify until you have a you have been granted asylum so you have

[01:14:55] that status you have to be given that status now if you have a pending asylum claim you are protected from deportation while your case is pending so long as you don't have like a certain types of felony convictions and it says undocumented non citizens are not eligible so there you go i just cleared it up i should just read further yeah well no but but that's how people get into trouble because like but then why even say refugees asylees or survivors of trafficking may qualify what you could just say immigrants like

[01:15:25] because well because just because just because you're granted that status you may not necessarily qualify well asylum seeking has a has a dirty ring to it nowadays because of how they've politicized it because like it just you know everybody assumes that people who are asylum seeking jumped the border and didn't go through the port of entry and not all of them have plenty go to the ports of entry some of them jumped border well but I guess and here's my and here and here's my kind of my viewpoint on

[01:15:53] that this is why I don't really this is why I didn't agree with remain in Mexico if you are seeking asylum chances are you're trying to escape violence well you'd have to be escaping violence that's why you would be seeking asylum you your first priority if you're leaving a dangerous country is to get somewhere safe right so step one get to the

[01:16:22] US once you're there then you claim asylum and then you have your case pending and all that but your number one goal if your asylum claim is legitimate step one is get to the safe place right now the problem I have with and again so the word illegal gets thrown out thrown out way too much when it comes to immigration it's actually really difficult to be here illegally it truly is a lot of people do it but illegal gets thrown

[01:16:52] around with undocumented a lot and the thing is most undocumented in air quotes immigrants are people who actually lost some kind of legal status not that they didn't have any to begin with so for example like there's a lot of confusion about DACA DACA was a status that was granted by the federal government for people who were brought here as children they did not knowingly frost the board wasn't DACA an executive order no it's a law it's legislation I could have

[01:17:22] sworn it was an executive order no you're right I'm sorry they've been trying to pass legislation you're right okay because Trump was trying to force them to pass legislation and they just wanted to fucking sit on their hands that's true that's true and I gave credit to Trump at the time so I was like at least he's trying to fucking do something about it but here's my problem because he doesn't like executive order even though he uses them oh he loves executive orders he just likes his executive orders but here's my point when it comes to DACA if and this would be the fault of the legislature mind

[01:17:52] you not Trump but like recently certain parts of DACA were found to be unconstitutional by the Supreme Court so if that status which has been in place since 2014 I think maybe even before that I can't remember but it's been in place for at least 10 years so some of the people who were granted it as children are now adults who have college degrees and have jobs and families if that status were revoked they are now technically here undocumented

[01:18:21] air quotes illegally now I don't know about if you are enrolled if you're enrolled or you're like blah and you know that goes away it's like that should just be granted but it's not and that's the problem because here's the thing so like I guarantee you if it came down to that like Trump would I don't know like he'd be like okay so he even said we're not getting rid of Dreamers right but that may be outside of his ability to do if if DACA is found to be unconstitutional and can't be upheld

[01:18:51] then that status goes away there's nothing Trump can do about now he can direct them not to enforce it but that gets kind of precarious exactly what Justin was talking about earlier or about saying about JD Vance actually so asylum it's actually it's worked up a couple of comments yeah it's actually really hard to get asylum you have to meet one of five criteria oh yeah absolutely and you have to it's it's hard

[01:19:21] it's really difficult they're very specific and I actually don't agree with how strict the US I don't know about Canada Canada may have a more waxed asylum policy in the United States it's actually really hard you're good toast no no you're good we love it he says immigration should work on vetting basis in my opinion yeah exactly the thing is just because you're looking for a better life I hate to say it like this dude because it makes me sound heartless

[01:19:51] because unfortunately for me I was born here I can't help that that's my parents blame them those damn Americans I would just like to remind everybody their immigration policy used to be show up on a boat at Ellis Island and be able to scribble something he says Canada you can do a cartwheel through the border and make it that's the thing that a lot of people don't understand it's like I said before it's really hard to get asylum in the United States seriously toast dude your comment

[01:20:21] about them making their own country better and like I'm not saying they shouldn't but the thing is these other leaders in charge like let's just talk about Mexico the president if they wanted to make Mexico better they would simple as that that's a little simple as that not really it should be like if you're the president of the fucking country why didn't we make it better under Biden then by using your logic economic can't control economics we can control who comes in we can control

[01:20:50] gangs and we can control violence whatnot through policing like you're speaking purely economics on Biden like past that like everything was fucking horrible economically when it came to Biden but just because Mexico doesn't I don't know and I'm not just talking on Mexico I'm talking to any of them like if they wanted to make their countries better well that's what I'm saying though the people have to want it too well okay that's a little that's a little unfair because like

[01:21:19] Afghanistan I'm not saying all of them don't I'm just saying like it that way I mean to be fair there's a lot of there's a lot of criminals okay but I'm going to use Afghanistan as an example and because like this might be a little unfair like Afghanistan on our border so I'm really worried about it well no but but there's there's a lot of Afghan refugees well but legit I can't think of much more of a legitimate reason to leave

[01:21:49] than the Taliban being in fucking control and there I read an article about an Afghan woman who's in the United States she's at a I can't remember if she was studying or she was a teacher but she might lose her immigration status and if she does she'll get deported to Afghanistan and be promptly stoned to death now it hasn't happened yet but it could because of the ambiguity

[01:22:30] I try when it first came out my dad literally I was working he's like you need to get home there's a virus out calm down yeah I agree the Afghan woman would be a genuine refugee and the thing is though they could grant that with the stroke of a pen yeah and also dude bring turning our countries into the countries they left seriously like that makes no fucking sense when you left the country you

[01:23:01] by virtue of that logic we should no longer celebrate St. Patrick's Day ever I'd be okay with that it's stupid holiday fuck okay damn it I'll think of one and Christmas is you know just is a hijacked holiday so damn it you got me on that one because that's the argument I've been using when people were like why are they waving Mexican flags it's yeah

[01:23:31] dude he said he'll get thrown off exactly Patrick isn't yeah it's literally Christmas is a pagan holiday like Christians do use it as Jesus birthday that was kind of like a consensus that they all did and literally most not priests I'm sorry it was for sure appropriation literally say that they're like and we don't even know his

[01:24:01] actual birthday this is just the day we use because it's the winter solstice is the 21st right is it I mean it varies because it's the lunar cycle but it's around there you know what I'm getting at yeah and even as a Christian myself like I understand all these things and you know and literally tell people hell yeah they stole it dude except in Ireland you're not wrong oh in Ireland they very well assimilated it's Ireland is kind of a fascinating case study of cultural

[01:24:30] assimilation no worries toast we live off no you're good it's the average intelligence podcast but you know what's also off topic our other sponsor speaking of economic hard times listen this app isn't going to make you rich but I've been using pogo for years and honestly it'll get you a little extra pocket money it'll buy you lunch one day and it's no work you you just it's an app that runs in the background you have to click a couple buttons every couple of days and you'll cash out every once in a while but if you

[01:25:00] use our special code in the description you get a bonus 250 points which I think is like two and a half cents but it's two and a half cents that you might be able to buy an egg I

[01:25:34] enjoy them buy a chicken it's probably cheaper don't worry I'm gonna have chickens this summer I was gonna say shit you can go to rule king can't you buy a chick for like four bucks eight bucks something like that yeah but hormones and whatnot they're late and with them from a farm yeah fair they're factory chickens dude I saw a meme that made me laugh so hard it was a guy just holding a chicken and a

[01:26:04] straw hat and it's like y'all laughed at me oh no egg prices aren't gonna reflect from day one that's just silly you know it took a while to get here it's gonna take a while to get out

[01:26:35] it was eggs it was the price of eggs and then it cut the next panel was the exact same eggs and the same guy in the MAGA hat but it had the years on it in 25 it was like well actually the price of groceries is a complex economic equation it was our homestead toast have you watched a guy on

[01:27:05] YouTube called Will survives dude it's so entertaining come to Canada we have cheap eggs oh I it's just a young kid who literally he's probably like maybe 18 19 years old he literally did his own

[01:27:34] homestead dude I watch a lot of Canadian people on YouTube I watch what is yeah well he's close enough he's close enough eh yeah and then this other one Murray or something like that self sufficiency

[01:28:05] is the way to go like it is I prefer I prefer I prefer out here and he's like I have air conditioning I have a computer I have internet and he's like no I just was smart and I was like dude how do you guys feel about mr. no new wars president wanting to start what ostensibly seems like

[01:28:34] iraq 2.0 what do you mean are you talking about Mexico or Greenland or I'm gonna need a specific on that one we're all over the place yeah so is Trump to be fair or are you talking about Panama he could be well no he did he did and now it may have been a joke but he did suggest that he would that military force to take Greenland was not off the table he did say it later toast

[01:29:07] what did he say and what I think someone asked I haven't heard that I had to look it up but I did see the video clip I believe someone asked him if he would occupy Gaza okay here's

[01:29:52] the settled where did they go because none of the surrounding Arab countries have in fact many of them have blatantly said we don't want them to come here so what Trump is doing is pissing off the Arab states in the surrounding areas by saying we're gonna take control of Gaza we're gonna turn it I think the Gaza Riviera is a great idea I think it's really great it's going to be very expensive but we're gonna turn it into one of the greatest

[01:30:22] tourist attractions ever and then all the other Arab countries are like fuck that the last thing we want is the United States to have a literal fucking colony over here so nah we'll step in and do something he's trying stupid and I'm just like do you really think he's stupid how

[01:30:52] the fuck do you become a billionaire like even if you were given a million dollars do you think you could turn into a billion everybody would probably say everybody's toxic fucking you know would probably be like yeah I could turn into a billion but I'm like could you really you you probably wouldn't you'd be broke if you

[01:31:23] he knows more than someone who is not I'm not even trying to it seems like I'm riding Trump's tail coattails right now but if the dude didn't know what he was doing at all times he wouldn't be so successful judging by how people's kids are I know his kids are seemingly robotic but have you seen how they act and hold themselves they all seem like you know very good people you're not going to have a piece of shit dad

[01:32:14] he's incapable of committing crimes now because he won't remember what he did well and on top of that he got a 10 year blanket pardon yeah I don't think it was a 10 year I

[01:32:44] like like and that feels like it should be illegal I know it's not illegal it feels like it should be yeah and I'll be honest though like I said this on here a couple times if it was my kid I would literally I'd pardon him too like I don't disagree as a father I'm with Biden on that one I hate to say that but don't say you're going to do just

[01:33:14] smack him right in the mouth stop it who's not going to 10 years Biden I think honestly I think he will he just wanted to say hey challenge accepted dude all that money he made over the last four years he's going to come back Biden isn't going to live it's like when people talk about a fourth Trump term I saw about 84 yeah that's not going to happen when

[01:33:43] people are just silly again it can't well now and then even when which I I categorize this as a gauge joke but Trump checks and balances gotta love this country well I forget when but somebody asked Trump apparently they're trying to figure out a way to make me be able to run for another I don't know if I

[01:34:29] what's harder getting an HOA to change laws or getting getting the congressional laws changed constitutional law it's not congressional my favorite clip is when he refused to endorse Vance it was very funny who Trump I mean I think he Vance was running as a as a as a enemy like if you're with him yeah yeah so the thing is I will say this though

[01:34:59] like I know it's pretty early but just listening to Vance talk dude I think he made the right choice that guy is so sharp he he's good at navigating the media he's he's pretty savvy at that I'll give credit for credits to exactly so I don't know any of you know what he's doing whatnot but like apparently they've been busy so oh yeah we're not going to see everybody keeps thinking oh I mean they're working it's like are we going to see changes I'm like yeah eventually that's the way it works like if you

[01:35:28] start working out do you see results in the first workout no you have to continue yeah they asked him if he endorsed Trump Trump refused well of course he also refused to endorse Vivek he also refused to endorse several other candidates and now and now little Marco remember little Marco now little Marco is the secretary of state dude did you see Vance's kids yeah like bouncing around like now I was

[01:35:58] talking shit saying that Trump's kids kids bouncing around like on that and I was like that gives me hope because right dude like my kids are nuts I love them but kids are kids though very ADHD very sorry not 2025 next election huh did Trump say he wouldn't endorse shady Vance in the next election yeah he said it's too early

[01:36:27] yeah I mean he gave a reason why and that's a very fair because like why would I endorse someone who has just got the job I need to

[01:37:05] I don't I don't mean I don't mean I don't mean in the election I mean in the actual cast ballots that were being certified well didn't the mail-in ballots count towards that no I'm not talking okay because

[01:37:39] I got I can no no you you got it's a good point no you didn't derail me I gotta explain this so if there had been fuckery in the certification process like somebody tried to slip in an extra ballot or replace one or something because that process is very ceremonial nowadays when it was

[01:38:09] but if there was actual fuckery in the certification process standalone then yes he has the authority to delay the certification only to sort out said fuckery but all the votes were as in terms of what the in terms of what the electors cast it was legit uh Trump does not have a successor not

[01:38:39] not yet not and not yet like that's it's too early to call that he's not gonna call anybody to do that he says i just don't think he does like from a canadians perspective you guys have a

[01:39:12] no here here here here here he knows he's gonna piss a lot of people off yeah but they're also gonna see how well the economy will hopefully do that's what Elon said what Elon claimed

[01:40:25] to years they can they can minimize the deficit yeah that's the thing though now again it's not so much what trump is doing well some of the things trump is doing it's more so the manner in which he's doing them that i think is going to be off-putting for a lot of americans because there's a lot of people like me who are moderate

[01:40:51] many americans should be off-putting well no there's a lot of moderates like me though who we voted for trump because the prospect of another biden administration was simply intolerable that would that was a non-starter that wasn't even worth taking a chance over but the thing is if trump doesn't fix the economy and does all this goofy shit

[01:41:17] then we're no better off potentially worse off and he's going to lose the good faith that he had coming in like don't get me wrong trump has a lot of good faith but his approval ratings are already pretty low compared to what they were when he won the election i don't know i just uh i i have hard time believing anything anymore because who's uh writing these approval letters not approval letters

[01:41:44] fair enough because i've i've gone over my i don't fucking believe anything that's what i'm saying i don't i don't believe any of this shit anymore like like this is what this is what they've done to me like well and that is that is that is the fault of what you see and none of what you hear yeah and that is that is honestly that's the fault of the previous administration yeah optics sound bad but honestly like i literally stopped paying attention to politics for the most part

[01:42:10] except for just a few things uh because i still do like to be informed but you know what's funny my life has gotten better i don't really care too much about certain things like everybody like focuses so much on it and they're just so weary and scared like they ain't got nothing else better to do than sit there and scroll on their phones well trump could do a lot to alleviate those fears and it would be relatively easy but at the same time like i said you know it's like i'm going back to

[01:42:36] covid if people aren't falling falling in the street dying don't worry about it and the thing is like uh what what's he going to do that's so bad like what what what what what is he going to do that's so bad that like someone can't stop judges are already doing it if they think it's bad they're stopping it well there's there so what's he really going to get done there are things he can do well i.e for

[01:43:00] example um making a million or so legally people who right now have legal status as immigrants making them not have legal status with the stroke of a pen was that the temporary temporary not not just that there's there's a lot of things he can do potentially now to be fair thus far the only thing he's done is not extend that's just rhetoric justin that's that's not that you got canada is never going to become the

[01:43:26] first state it's not it's it's not going to happen that's that's that's just silly rhetoric he's literally he is literally trolling trolling everybody and and everybody's falling for it like he's trolling it's apparent yeah well no the thing is the democrats are hoping and praying that canada becomes the 51st state exactly they're like oh more money yeah well no i mean they're because they're they're i think i already said it yeah wasn't trudeau supposed to resign like what's

[01:43:55] going on he resigned he resigned as the head of the liberal party he's still prime minister fucking that's hilarious 51st state i've seen a dumb canadian tiktokers saying canada is going to war it's very agitating yeah you guys don't want to go to war with us you don't i'm just gonna be nice and say that sorry not sorry but hey sorry sorry i know i mean can't don't sleep on canada's

[01:44:23] military i mean they actually do i'm just trolling i'm just trolling it's south park was not real they they have more than hockey sticks dude canada has some of the greatest things i've ever known and literally freaking uh take part trailer park boys is one of them uh let's see what else uh oh i love maple syrup they're not the only ones with maple syrup but they do have the best i will say

[01:44:50] the best no i'm just i'm just saying is the Canadian rock maple uh like skateboards best i think it's rock maple brian adams brian adams brian adams brian adams is canadian uh ryan reynolds ryan reynolds even though everybody's hating him now well that's because his wife was apparently making shit up but i don't fucking care like i'm so tired of people just idolize people i'm like dude just like

[01:45:19] their work jesus christ you don't have to like their fucking person yeah no i was i almost said hugh jackman but thinking wolverine hugh jackman's australian but wolverine wolverine is canadian wolverine is actually canadian not the character so is really deadpool's canadian he's from regina saskatchewan you know why do they say uh that canadians are very nice people but they're so

[01:45:48] sarcastic dry like humor i don't i don't really think of canadians as having a dry sense of humor that's more a british thing no i think jim carrey jim carrey's canadian like i every time i've ever heard of uh canadian humor they they always uh they always like say that it's dry humor like as a not like i don't know i don't know either i'm just i'm not canadian i'm not oh my gosh that's

[01:46:16] a really obscure reference justin yes and it's interesting that hugh jackman several years later would be cast as wolverine uh in the original pilot for x-men the anime which it was a different animated series for those who don't know uh it's called x-men pride of the x-men and in that single episode cartoon uh wolverine is in fact australian pride of the x-men that sounds like

[01:46:43] america in 2020 well no it's it's because in that one kitty pride is it's kitty pride not jubilee that gets introduced that's why it's pride of the x-men i made a gay joke i know uh hugh jackman is is he i thought he was uh from uk is he australian australian yep okay i learned something new today

[01:47:11] it's because hugh jackman talks like this and not like this that makes more sense okay it's actually very dark and mysterious i don't i don't see i don't man it's so weird i don't see him with any other accent other than talking as wolverine oh no you can totally if you watch some of his other movies you can i'm sorry every time i want to go into australian accent i found like a i found a switch

[01:47:35] phrase it's shane gillis's when he's talking about being bullied by the australian goth it's like i'm actually very dark and mysterious he's like you you can't you can't be serious when you have that kind of accent oh no he says i'm actually very dark and twisted that's what he says he doesn't say

[01:47:57] mysterious but yes wolverine in that cartoon is australian he's like if the kid gets issue just get in the way we're gonna we're gonna uh just say how great it was wolverine being in the uh new deadpool movie that was so great oh dude i loved it so much it was so i did the thing about that movie

[01:48:22] is i i was kind of i was lightly nervous i was cautiously optimistic but dude when the title sequence started going i knew i was gonna love this fucking movie dude when he uh dug up the bones and then he fights with them i was like dude this is amazing that's what i'm saying when when the title with the bye bye bye and all that i was like oh my god i'm gonna love this movie so much

[01:48:49] and i did yeah i really hope reynolds doesn't do anything to get himself canceled look i'm willing to give ryan reynolds a bit of the doubt i get it dude you got to stand with the wife even when she fucks up i get it no you don't still love you you can easily tell me they fucked up oh no i'm sure in private he might have told her she fucked up but oh yeah oh there's no

[01:49:17] way he didn't like that that if he's anything like the characters he portrays he's gonna be like do you realize how much work i had to put into ingratiating myself to the american audience to play deadpool and now 15 years of work right out the window they're like they're gonna fucking ring you up as a amber herd stop being crazy and then we're gonna have to have a very public trial and

[01:49:42] i don't want to shit on your bed but i will dude that should be a short and tag that motherfucker and i'm just kidding and you're gonna have to step on a b uh well we're rambling now so any other thoughts about political hypocrisy motherfucker we've been rambling for two hours i know it's what we do but no uh

[01:50:08] no it's just honestly it's like i think people just want to find something to bitch about now that's like i don't think that i don't think they really care about politics anymore i think they just like bitching about trump like there is a yeah there's a tremendous take trump out of the situation exactly take trump out of the situation and see if you still care well if trump wasn't president and another president was doing the same things would you care not to the

[01:50:35] same degree no not for most people and and to be fair obama does now it's it's it's an unfair statistic because trump's only served one full term but obama still does hold the record for deportations as president you know what i'm gonna say something very profound but do you want to know what trump's greatest accomplishment was and i don't even know sir i don't even know if it's an accomplishment because i i kind of hate him for it dude he made so many people political in 2016

[01:51:03] like so many people woke up and literally started paying attention and that's why it took us almost 10 years to get to the point to where we're just like you know what we see all this corruption we're over it too like what the fuck in 2016 he woke up a giant like and i'm not saying everybody needs to follow the guy like he's some fucking idol like you know this and that like the dude he's just a dude

[01:51:28] that's it but he he just the power behind him and i say the power behind him uh just i don't know dude like he did something that no one else could like he got everybody up off their asses just like when when they got everybody walking with pokemon go you remember that yeah i do no um what trump did though i mean it was i'm not even gonna say it was brilliant because i think honestly he kind of did it by accident and then realized it was working and then really went for it

[01:51:58] is so it was not of his doing it was not of his doing i'm giving him credit for something he didn't do but the thing is like he was a part of it so yeah well for such a long time the establishment for the most part the democrats were the worst offenders but republicans to a certain extent certain republicans treated the middle of the country as though they were stupid and then trump came along and was like you're not stupid you don't think i'm stupid thank you

[01:52:29] yeah seriously no like there was a lot of uh like but a lot of people also lumped those people in with the people who voted for him who actually have a little bit more intelligence like you know just saying yeah not like us i i were just i i didn't vote for him in this election you motherfucker seriously i didn't vote period oh yeah that's right you told me that i was just like

[01:52:57] i just like i uh i got uh something taken away but i was like i don't really care i was like he's he's gonna win and if he doesn't oh well yeah that's that's that we've said that even when trump is being good trump is it's like he's just a man justin dude 100 agree people need to realize he's just a guy he's just a guy just i'm just a normal average guy or i i'm just an ordinary guy

[01:53:25] i'm an ordinary guy except i can fly and sometimes i'm invisible i'm just an ordinary guy yeah all day long i'm just a right and wrongs and making all the liberals miserable all right let's cut it my balls back neck hurts all right everyone thank you for enjoying this episode of the average intelligence podcast
