07:30
during my kennedy interview
07:32
shout out to tara on turks’s momentum as
07:34
always folks
07:37
folks
07:40
folks it is now 2021 and uh we have not
07:44
done an ama in quite some time
07:46
i was doing them gosh at least once a
07:50
month
07:50
during the campaign mostly because i
07:53
didn’t have time to book yes
07:55
because i was traveling the entire whole
07:58
ass
07:59
continental us every day and so it was
08:02
a little difficult also getting guests
08:04
so it’s been a while
08:06
so i’m sure you got all these questions
08:08
pent up waiting to
08:11
let them go
08:14
so i’m going to now uh go and without
08:17
further ado start answering some of
08:19
these questions because i think
08:20
that wow there’s a lot of questions
08:24
already
08:24
okay so uh let’s go through
08:28
the questions oh here’s a good one what
08:30
do you think of reddit users
08:31
outmaneuvering short sellers and driving
08:33
up the price
08:34
of gamestop stock or stonk listen
08:39
so the way that our market works that
08:42
the stock market works
08:44
is largely driven by the
08:47
you’re going to be shocked when i tell
08:48
you this it’s largely driven by
08:50
large investment firms hedge funds and
08:53
their corporate owned media
08:55
so if they want to for example decide
08:58
that gamestop is going to go out of
09:00
existence and let’s be clear gl game
09:01
stock has been
09:02
declining for quite some time because of
09:04
just natural market occurrences people
09:06
are
09:07
you know more and more of the video
09:08
games that people are using are
09:10
available directly for streaming
09:11
uh so there’s less need for physical
09:13
media than there used to be so i mean
09:14
it is a it is something that has been
09:16
slowly being edged out just by the
09:18
market but
09:19
you have hedge fund investors that want
09:21
to make a ton of money on the backs of
09:23
people that invested in that company so
09:24
what they do
09:25
is they go to the media and they
09:26
announce you know what we’re going to
09:28
short
09:29
sell gamestop because gamestop
09:32
is dying and then the big banks go we
09:35
too are going
09:36
to short sell game stop short sale means
09:39
uh sell sell it and because you think
09:41
it’s not going to go any higher you
09:42
think it’s about to keep going lower or
09:44
potentially go out of business
09:45
and everyone else should do that well
09:46
they never actually say that they just
09:48
say we’re going to do that
09:49
and then the the i’m not going to name
09:51
names but the
09:53
rhymes with shmamers of the world go
09:55
gotta sell
09:56
gamestop sell gamestop and so now
09:58
everyone’s panicking and selling
09:59
gamestop
10:00
which benefits the put options of the
10:03
hedge funds and the major banks so what
10:07
the
10:08
reddit kids decided to do is the
10:10
opposite of that
10:11
they decided to say no let’s all buy
10:13
gamestop
10:14
so they go when they buy gamestop which
10:17
ruins the
10:18
spread in the in the profits of the
10:20
hedge funds
10:21
and the institutional investors they’re
10:23
going on their robin hood app and on
10:24
their retail you know like td ameritrade
10:26
and stuff like that and just buying up
10:28
the stock
10:29
and it’s caused gamestop and what was it
10:30
amc theaters
10:32
blackberry um what was another one
10:36
oh uh oh gosh anyway like a bunch of
10:40
these companies
10:41
two now they’re having record high
10:42
profits or the highest profits they’ve
10:44
had in
10:44
decades and things like that and uh the
10:47
hedge funds have lost
10:49
i think somewhere around 10 billion
10:50
dollars and that 10 billion dollars
10:53
has largely gone to these
10:56
non-institutional
10:57
individual robin hood investors that are
11:00
using reddit and twitter
11:01
to get the word out and now
11:05
market manipulation is bad
11:08
market manipulation was fine when it was
11:11
hedge funds taking money
11:12
from individual investors but now that
11:16
it’s individual investors
11:17
taking money from banks and hedge funds
11:19
now it’s a problem
11:21
now guys we got to stop these uh
11:23
coordinated market buys that’s going to
11:26
be a problem they’re
11:27
they’re squeezing these stocks they’re
11:29
literally doing in reverse what’s been
11:31
done to them and previous generations
11:34
for debt for as long as the market uh
11:36
has existed or at least as long as as
11:38
corporate media has been as prominent as
11:40
it has
11:40
um and it’s just it’s a glory it is an
11:43
absolute
11:44
just fantastic thing to watch i’m so
11:48
happy
11:49
now unfortunately it’s probably going to
11:50
lead to a bunch of stupid regulations
11:52
because for once
11:55
everyday people made a profit on the
11:57
backs of the hedge funds
11:59
the sec did not give a crap when it was
12:02
the opposite
12:03
because that’s how it’s largely always
12:05
been they did not care
12:07
and now there’s actual talk about
12:09
bailing out the hedge funds in the banks
12:11
because they ended up losing their stock
12:13
so like
12:14
if the individual investors had lost all
12:16
their money the sec would go well you
12:18
know that’s the nature of the market
12:20
sometimes you know i can’t guarantee you
12:22
that your funds are
12:23
but now that it’s their friends in the
12:24
banks and they’re cronies
12:26
now there’s got to be regulation now
12:28
there’s got to be bailouts i think it is
12:30
beautiful
12:30
i think it is showing we do not have a
12:32
free market certainly not when it comes
12:33
to stocks but just in general
12:35
we have a system that is gamed for the
12:37
incredibly powerful and wealthy
12:38
and that we need to dismantle that
12:40
system in favor of
12:41
people being able to make individual
12:43
choices and either profit or lose as a
12:45
result of it not get bailed out
12:47
not get protected from uh creative
12:49
destruction
12:50
uh and frankly i think that these uh you
12:52
know these hedge fund managers
12:53
maybe if they weren’t eating so many
12:55
avocados uh you know they would have
12:57
been able to put aside a down payment
12:58
for a new investment company and
13:00
i don’t know maybe they should just cut
13:02
their hair and make some eye contact
13:03
we’re gonna have a
13:04
firm handshake i’m sure they’ll get a
13:05
good job in no time
13:07
um uh let’s see here
13:14
oh gosh gosh gosh are we going to run
13:17
attack ads against new members of
13:19
congress
13:19
asking people to call their congress
13:21
persons to stop the new mccarthyism you
13:23
know it’s very interesting
13:24
uh imagine being a part of the anti-war
13:27
left uh during the
13:28
uh you know the the 2000s and even into
13:31
the into the 90s and and now you’ve
13:33
you’ve gone full
13:34
circle where you’re now accusing anyone
13:35
who was against american imperialism
13:38
of being a russian bot and a puppet
13:41
vladimir putin in the kgb and it’s like
13:44
yeah this is not new
13:46
this is not new neoliberal uh red
13:49
baiting
13:50
uh a and commie baiting is is is not new
13:53
that’s actually a pretty actually pretty
13:56
straightforward thing
13:57
um so yeah no that’s new uh uh ramon
14:00
miller oh by the way i need to be
14:02
saying who asked these questions um a
14:04
sofia bryant asked the first question
14:06
about gamestop
14:07
uh mercedes lim dem ratowsky says if
14:10
nemmy has puppies do you want one
14:13
i’m not a puppy guy but probably
14:16
maybe probably i love nemi
14:19
um let’s see
14:23
david davis asked the question about
14:24
mccarthyism thank you david ramon miller
14:27
says what are your thoughts on the mises
14:28
caucus i’m actually a member of the
14:30
mises caucus and i was endorsed by them
14:32
uh early on in in my uh run for the
14:34
nomination for the
14:36
uh vice presidential campaign uh
14:39
to be the the libertarian nominee um you
14:42
know here are my thoughts on mises
14:43
caucus
14:44
i am an austrian economist i am a
14:47
believer in the austrian school of
14:48
economic uh
14:49
philosophy or thought um and uh
14:53
you know that’s that’s what it’s based
14:55
on um and they’re bringing in a lot of
14:57
new people to the party and they’re
14:59
doing work and you know
15:02
if you don’t like them outwork them
15:04
bring in more people than them
15:05
do more work than them uh i i i
15:08
think and i have said this before i’ve
15:10
talked with the leadership of the caucus
15:11
i think
15:12
there is a balance that you have to have
15:15
when welcoming in new people
15:16
because when you welcome in new people
15:18
they’re not all going to be 100
15:20
libertarian
15:20
they might not even be 70 libertarian
15:23
and that stuff that they’re
15:24
20 30 not libertarian on could be really
15:27
really really bad stuff
15:29
frankly if we hadn’t welcomed in people
15:31
like that
15:32
i wouldn’t be here okay when i first
15:34
came to the liberty movement i had some
15:36
really bad ideas when it came to
15:38
immigration i had some really bad ideas
15:40
when it came to foreign policy
15:42
specifically you know war and then you
15:44
just stoppers llamo fascism
15:46
and frankly if there hadn’t been people
15:48
to say hey you’re welcome
15:49
your ideas are wrong and here’s why and
15:52
here’s why
15:53
where you agree with us why you would
15:55
also need to agree with us on this to be
15:56
consistent
15:58
that would have never happened if they
15:59
hadn’t welcomed me and engaged me
16:01
it’s not whitewashing it’s not welcoming
16:03
it’s not it’s not welcoming people and
16:05
saying
16:06
oh well you know it’s fine if you think
16:08
this way and we’re never gonna challenge
16:10
you on it but you gotta you gotta have
16:11
that
16:11
welcoming nature to it i will say there
16:14
is a balance between
16:15
you know welcoming people in and not
16:18
checking
16:18
and and and challenging their their
16:20
beliefs that are are
16:22
anti-libertarian uh and being
16:24
gatekeepers and telling everyone that
16:25
isn’t you know 100 libertarian
16:28
uh which we can’t even agree on what 100
16:29
libertarian means but our idea of 100
16:31
libertarian get out you can’t you aren’t
16:33
allowed to be in here so i
16:35
you know i i tend to think that they
16:37
could maybe be doing
16:38
more engaging on people once they’re in
16:41
and i’m talking
16:42
in general because i definitely see
16:44
examples where that does happen
16:46
um so you know i think it’s a mixed bag
16:48
but overall
16:50
they’re doing work they’re bringing
16:51
people in and if you don’t like it
16:53
outwork them out bring more people in
16:56
them
16:56
and uh you know that’s that’s how we get
16:58
things done um are you running in 2024
17:01
um i don’t think it matters who runs in
17:03
2024
17:04
if we don’t get if we don’t have a shot
17:05
in hell on getting on the debate stage
17:08
much less winning uh my focus right now
17:10
is on growing the party
17:12
into a formidable force that can win
17:14
elections
17:15
uh win more of the local elections that
17:17
were already winning and start winning
17:18
big
17:19
elections federal elections white house
17:21
elections uh
17:22
large statewide elections like governor
17:24
senator things like that start winning
17:26
some serious races
17:28
and moving the needle towards greater
17:30
human liberty and
17:31
before that because culture is or
17:34
politics is downstream of culture
17:36
we need to get more active in the
17:38
cultural discussion the greater
17:40
debate that’s happening in this country
17:42
and really around the world now
17:43
so my focus right now is getting us out
17:46
there
17:47
getting us more prominent getting the
17:48
word of liberty out there because our
17:50
ideas are better than anyone else’s
17:52
and once they get out there they
17:53
intuitively make sense to people when we
17:54
present them in a way that
17:56
absolutely connects and engages them and
17:58
meets them where they are and when we
18:00
do that and when we can grow into a
18:02
formidable force that can win those
18:03
elections and that can affect that
18:05
debate
18:06
and move the needle towards greater
18:07
human freedom then
18:09
whether i run or someone else runs in
18:10
2024 or 2028 or whatever
18:13
we can actually get on the debate stage
18:14
we can actually
18:16
win the election or or place much higher
18:18
we can have
18:19
more libertarians in congress we can
18:21
have libertarians in
18:23
state legislative races we can have
18:24
libertarian governors and senators and
18:27
mayors and all that stuff um so that’s
18:29
my focus this was never about me
18:31
this is about a movement because long
18:33
after uh really none of us are here
18:36
what will matter is what we have done
18:38
not what we did for ourselves
18:40
what we’ve done to affect people around
18:42
around the country and around the world
18:44
um and so that’s really my focus um
18:47
let’s see here
18:51
will you bring back the beard and the
18:53
big black mic listen this is
18:54
three days of not shaving so the beard
18:56
will come back by virtue of the fact
18:58
that
18:58
i sometimes skip a few days of
19:02
not shaving uh the big black mic was
19:04
auctioned off
19:05
uh to the lees and uh so no it’s not
19:08
coming back i now have a mic
19:09
that’s set up to not be seen um
19:15
has tulsi leaned more libertarian or is
19:17
it just a trap
19:20
do i want to upset the coconut milk
19:22
mommy people um
19:24
yeah so tulsi and
19:28
rand and other shall we say liberty
19:31
leaning or anti-establishment leaning
19:33
republic rats
19:35
are essentially and i hate to say it
19:37
it’s all especially you aoc people gosh
19:39
and you ill hand omar people uh and you
19:42
you random thomas massey people they say
19:45
some amazing things
19:47
if and when their vote and their support
19:50
is needed
19:51
to push the republicrad agenda they fold
19:55
every single time remember aoc
19:58
complaining about this stimulus bill how
20:00
it was just a throwaway
20:02
for the uh for the big businesses that
20:04
she voted for
20:06
rand paul was you know so angry about
20:09
pompeo and
20:10
you know being the the cia director and
20:12
he was going to fight them tooth and
20:14
nail then he voted for him
20:15
because they needed his vote the reason
20:18
that they keep people like this
20:19
in positions of of influence is two-fold
20:22
number one they keep people in uh
20:25
the republican and democrat parties by
20:28
making them feel like there are these
20:29
heroes and truth-tellers ted cruz used
20:31
to be one of them for the
20:32
constitutionalist that you know he would
20:34
fight
20:34
but then he’d never fight he would just
20:36
talk and filibuster and then fold
20:38
but it was it’s a opposition theater
20:41
it’s
20:41
i’m gonna fight this i’m gonna fight a
20:42
tooth and nail until i
20:44
stop and quit and fold completely bernie
20:47
sanders
20:49
every single election cycle i don’t know
20:51
what’s going to be
20:52
we’ve got a system but it doesn’t matter
20:54
if if we put one of these people up
20:56
there just as bad as trump
20:57
that’s why i endorse him now
21:00
so it it does that it keeps you in
21:03
the uh republican and democratic parties
21:06
uh and then the other thing it does is
21:07
that it kind of gives the libertarian
21:09
stamp to those parties well you know i’m
21:11
kind of libertarian
21:12
trump did that i’m somewhat libertarian
21:14
just ask rand paul
21:17
it’s theater um let’s see what else is
21:20
here
21:22
what happened to my questions
21:30
um this is stuff i’ve already seen
21:34
um here’s one conor
21:37
uh cudmore i hope i’m saying that
21:39
correctly spike question how do you feel
21:41
we can bring social conservatives into
21:43
the party without being
21:45
a dick people don’t seem to grasp the
21:47
idea of living everyone living by their
21:48
own beliefs and not legislating them
21:50
onto others
21:50
thanks love you buddy hey love you too
21:52
um so sort of what i was just talking
21:55
about
21:55
we have to bring people and meet them
21:56
where they are so for a conservative
21:58
it’s probably going to be things like um
22:00
smaller lower taxes less regulation uh
22:03
bringing government within its
22:04
constitutional limitations uh and things
22:06
like that religious freedom
22:08
um but then when they get there they’re
22:09
gonna go oh wait uh sex work and drugs
22:12
and
22:13
and lgbtq and wait what
22:17
and you can say yeah for the same reason
22:19
that we think that you should be able to
22:21
uh to live your life as you see fit
22:23
we think they should too and they go
22:30
well and some of them will go well all
22:32
right i’m not sure how i think about
22:32
that but i might stick around some of
22:34
them will say
22:34
i don’t like that okay that’s fine we
22:37
planted some seeds they might come back
22:39
they might not but worst case scenario
22:41
they leave
22:42
and don’t come back okay some of them
22:44
say and go
22:45
hmm well i don’t agree with that because
22:48
of my religion and we go yeah no
22:50
that’s fine that’s fine but here’s why
22:51
we think that government shouldn’t be
22:52
involved for the same reason we don’t
22:54
think they should be involved in
22:56
the way you live your life even if we
22:57
don’t share those beliefs or those
22:59
values
23:01
oh again you’re not going to get all of
23:02
them but you can welcome
23:04
them in enough to have that discussion
23:07
you can’t have that discussion
23:08
if you say hey get back boot looking
23:11
statist
23:12
we can’t do that we can’t do that with
23:13
people who agree with us on so many
23:15
things but they still think you know we
23:17
should have universal health care or
23:18
whatever
23:19
bring them in explain why the things
23:21
that they agree with us on
23:23
consistently applied to health care
23:25
would also mean that that’s a bad
23:26
idea or or um i was going to say iud ubi
23:29
iud’s really a personal choice ubi or
23:32
you know any of these things that
23:33
you know a lot of libertarians come in
23:35
and go yeah but i’d still like okay
23:36
that’s great and we’re not going to make
23:38
you not think that anymore
23:40
but here’s why you’re wrong okay but you
23:42
can’t have that conversation if you
23:43
don’t welcome and welcome them in
23:44
first um
23:51
i already answered one about ron paul
24:00
i’m looking for question marks folks can
24:02
you say baba booey baba bowie
24:04
um i used to think that was so funny
24:06
when i was a kid um
24:14
spike how do you feel about michael
24:16
bury’s now deleted comments saying
24:18
the gamestop rally is unnatural insane
24:20
and dangerous
24:21
uh i’m not 100 sure who you’re referring
24:24
to uh
24:25
but i’m guessing uh that he’s uh in the
24:27
established world of finance
24:30
he doesn’t like it because they’re doing
24:32
it in reverse um
24:36
uh how do you feel about the travel bans
24:38
being reported that are expected to be
24:39
placed on south africa uk
24:41
and other european countries considering
24:43
just a year ago biden was against trump
24:45
doing exactly this
24:46
exactly that’s actually what i was going
24:48
to say so you did a great job there who
24:50
was this that asked
24:50
gregory desser asked the last question
24:53
and uh
24:54
jeff jacob chikubowski asked this one
24:58
um yeah no they remember when they were
25:00
against travel bans it was a whole
25:02
election ago so
25:06
how do we put libertarians in office
25:07
zach allen asked we vote for
25:09
no i have a show on mondays called
25:11
culture of winning
25:13
on mondays at 8 pm where i talk to
25:15
libertarians
25:16
who have been elected to office it
25:18
happens every election dozen sometimes
25:20
hundreds of libertarians get elected to
25:22
office and i talk to them about what you
25:23
have to do and here’s the short answer
25:25
especially at the local level
25:26
they have to be engaged with their
25:27
community they have to be really good
25:30
on on two or three issues that they can
25:32
message away and hammer away at they
25:33
have to have a good team around them
25:35
they have to be willing to really
25:36
sacrifice the time and effort it needs
25:37
to be able to get out there
25:39
and get to their constituents and they
25:40
can win happens all the time we just
25:42
need
25:43
more that can do that and that’s going
25:44
to be my focus um
25:46
i already said baba
25:52
here’s one that i wasn’t allowed to talk
25:55
about during the campaign
25:56
what is your stance on bringing about
25:58
real reparations for the american
26:00
descendants of slavery
26:02
here’s one that’ll make everyone super
26:03
happy and not be the least bit
26:05
controversial at all
26:07
the american descendants of slavery or
26:10
the
26:10
yeah descendants of american slave
26:13
whichever
26:14
um are due compensation for at least one
26:18
thing
26:19
post slavery post the slaves being freed
26:24
they were supposed to be able to
26:26
participate
26:27
in the massive land giveaways that were
26:30
happening
26:31
shortly after they were freed if you if
26:32
you recall all the immigrants who came
26:35
to the u.s they were able to go into the
26:36
midwest and they were able to
26:38
participate in these land giveaways
26:39
where they were
26:40
being given multi-acre parcels that they
26:42
could then homestead
26:43
uh in order for that to happen black
26:46
people weren’t allowed to participate
26:48
that was the only way it was going to
26:49
get passed in the in in congress fast
26:52
forward
26:52
almost a hundred years later after world
26:55
war
26:56
ii they did something similar with the
26:58
so-called fair housing act
27:00
so they bring about uh the uh
27:03
uh housing and urban development which
27:06
takes all of the people
27:07
all of the uh white people that they had
27:09
put in the cities
27:11
and puts them out in the suburbs and
27:12
gives them heavily subsidized housings
27:14
they pay something like
27:15
10 cents on the dollar for suburban
27:17
housing now the only way that could pass
27:20
is uh the only way the dixiecrats would
27:22
vote for that in the senate
27:23
and and congress was if it excluded
27:26
black people there are certain
27:27
communities certain suburban communities
27:29
where it still says on the uh on the on
27:32
the deed
27:32
that it can’t be sold or resold or
27:34
rented to black people
27:37
it still says that now it’s not
27:38
enforceable anymore but these are two
27:40
examples now you’re probably saying
27:42
and i i’m sure if i look at the comments
27:43
right now i’m gonna get i didn’t do that
27:45
it’s not my fault why should i have to
27:47
pay taxes for that
27:48
you didn’t do that it’s not your fault
27:51
and you shouldn’t have to pay taxes for
27:53
it
27:53
it is the fault of the u.s government
27:56
thankfully the u.s government sits on
27:58
tens of trillions of dollars
28:00
worth of resources including
28:03
a bunch of land so my plan is this
28:08
you take that land you you come up with
28:10
a figure and say however many trillion
28:12
dollars
28:12
is going to be dispersed to people based
28:14
on their percentage that they can prove
28:16
of dissent of of american slave so if
28:19
you’re
28:20
half descent american slave you get half
28:22
of the amount that a person can get
28:24
then you start over a course of several
28:26
years selling off
28:28
these government assets and distributing
28:30
them now at the same time you can do
28:32
something similar for natives which
28:33
would mostly just consist of giving them
28:34
their land back
28:35
and uh ending bureau of indian affairs
28:38
and letting them do whatever they want
28:39
with their property and respecting their
28:40
sovereignty but that’s adjacent to this
28:42
then you can give it to you can give
28:44
this this money to
28:46
the descendants of slaves now two things
28:48
happen here well many things happen here
28:50
but
28:50
the main things that happen is
28:52
government also just got smaller
28:54
it owns less stuff the other thing is
28:56
government just got less expensive
28:58
african-americans are disproportionately
29:00
more likely to be poor because of a
29:02
series of very understandable reasons
29:04
massive amounts of theft of their
29:06
property and their opportunity
29:08
and their labor not to mention things
29:10
like the war on drugs and the war on
29:11
guns and things like that
29:13
uh and by correcting that
29:16
many of them aren’t going to be reliant
29:18
on social services
29:19
so you just made the cost of government
29:21
left none of this costs the taxpayers
29:23
anything in fact it saves all of us
29:24
including
29:25
black taxpayers it saves all taxpayers
29:27
money so
29:28
there’s some back of the book math
29:29
involved here before i could say you
29:31
know this is an exact plan i would give
29:33
i would have to have very specific
29:34
numbers but this is a way that
29:36
reparations can be done
29:37
in a way that corrects the injustices
29:39
that happen
29:40
that does not cost the taxpayer money it
29:43
actually saves the taxpayer money
29:44
and it reduces and dismantles government
29:46
at least partially
29:47
at the same time this is the libertarian
29:49
paradise um so here let’s go with
29:51
another one
29:52
um
29:59
uh here’s one heather sb says how can we
30:02
fix
30:02
the social security issue i am a
30:04
childhood beneficiary of a social
30:06
security overpayment my mother received
30:08
six oh i hear this all the time my
30:09
mother received sixty four thousand
30:10
dollars in death penalty
30:12
benefits for my stepfather had them
30:14
revoked and when she could rep
30:15
repay they came when she couldn’t repay
30:18
they came after me i was six years old
30:20
when she received those benefits
30:22
now i’m legally responsible for the 64
30:24
000
30:25
because quote unquote it was used in my
30:27
benefit as a child there definitely
30:28
needs to be
30:29
some kind of statute of limitations uh
30:31
or moratorium on that kind of stuff
30:33
we’re talking 64 grand
30:34
to the federal government that’s not
30:36
even a rounding error it doesn’t even
30:37
matter to you it could ruin you
30:39
financially
30:39
um let’s talk about social security as a
30:42
whole
30:43
social security is a ponzi scheme
30:46
if you and i and you as whoever i’m
30:49
pointing at right now
30:50
if you and i were to go and create a uh
30:52
a new investment fund okay for all these
30:54
all these kids over at reddit to invest
30:56
in
30:56
uh and we called it uh i don’t know
30:58
secure social
31:00
tea whatever we call it whatever we want
31:02
but it is lit we literally just copy
31:04
paste verbatim
31:06
the social security plan and started
31:09
advertising it we would immediately be
31:11
arrested
31:12
and prosecuted for racketeering
31:15
because it’s racketeering it’s a ponzi
31:17
scheme
31:19
it is a pyramid scheme if literally any
31:22
other organization in this country were
31:23
to do it they would go to jail for a
31:25
very very long period of time
31:27
but because the federal government does
31:28
it not only is it legal
31:30
but it’s mandatory and now you’re
31:33
probably thinking spike that’s fantastic
31:35
now what are we going to do about it
31:36
well
31:37
the answer is this the beauty of social
31:40
security is that the same way we got
31:42
into it
31:42
we can get out of it so the cato
31:44
institute we actually talked about this
31:46
a lot during the campaign
31:47
the cato institute has something called
31:49
the 6.2 plan here’s what the 6.2 percent
31:52
plan is
31:52
if you are getting social security you
31:55
get social security
31:57
if you want to stay using social
31:59
security if you want to put all of your
32:01
money into social security
32:02
and get the roughly half a percent
32:05
interest return that you get in social
32:09
security which if you
32:10
are like me again i’m jewish and you are
32:13
doing
32:14
the math on what the difference between
32:17
that
32:18
and what you’d make out in the in the in
32:20
the market
32:21
even with the most conservative of
32:23
investments and then start factoring in
32:25
the compounding interest
32:26
it’s destroying capital but anyway if
32:28
you want to do that
32:30
okay you can continue doing that if you
32:33
have spent even 10 seconds thinking
32:35
about it and say you know what i think
32:37
i’d rather make the roughly
32:38
5 gains that i’ll make even with a
32:41
conservative
32:44
conservative portfolio of investment
32:46
which means that
32:48
you know many years from now i will have
32:50
hundreds of times more money than i
32:51
would if i kept it in social security if
32:53
you were to go and do something crazy
32:55
like that
32:55
you can take all your money you can stop
32:58
investing
32:59
in social security okay and whatever
33:01
you’ve already put in you were still due
33:03
so you won’t lose that but you can start
33:04
putting your money aside here
33:06
up to 6.2 percent of your income and you
33:09
can invest it however you want to
33:10
you can take it out if you want you can
33:12
take it out whenever you want you can do
33:13
whatever you want with it it’s your
33:15
money
33:15
i know that sounds crazy but it’s your
33:17
money do whatever you want
33:18
with your money because it’s your money
33:21
stick with me here it’s your money
33:23
but you’re probably thinking well spike
33:25
how do we keep social security solvent
33:27
well
33:28
here’s where it gets fun your employer
33:31
instead of
33:32
matching your uh your your 6.2
33:35
over here they keep paying the
33:37
equivalent 6.2 percent
33:38
into social security and here’s where
33:40
the magic happens
33:42
as more and more people say yeah i’m
33:44
going to make way more money over here
33:46
are invested here and more and more
33:48
employers are going
33:49
okay well i’ll pay the 6.2 in that means
33:52
there will be more and more
33:54
payers paying in without anyone taking
33:56
out
33:57
then or in the future and over time
33:59
through attrition
34:00
as the number of people taking out goes
34:02
down because we
34:03
are immortal sadly as that goes down and
34:07
as the number of people that aren’t
34:09
taking social security and just having
34:11
their employers pay that 6.2 percent
34:13
into into the system goes up eventually
34:16
that 6.2 percent that the employers have
34:18
to pay
34:19
starts going down to five percent four
34:21
percent three percent
34:22
eventually they don’t have to do it
34:24
anymore eventually a trust fund can be
34:26
set up to pay off the remaining amount
34:28
and free americans are able to be over
34:30
here
34:31
making a ton of money way more and we
34:33
have now successfully weaned ourselves
34:36
off of fdr’s nightmare
34:39
ponzi scheme baby that he created thanks
34:41
a lot fdr
34:42
and we finally are done with it and we
34:44
did it without causing anyone to lose
34:46
their benefits or just suffer in the
34:48
meantime that’s the 6.2 percent
34:50
solution where are we going with
34:53
questions we got questions
34:55
um this was a question i just answered
35:03
um here’s a good one ryan raymond uh
35:05
spike what would you say to people
35:08
uh who drive a left right wedge within
35:10
the libertarian party
35:11
so i would say that if you agree with
35:14
someone on 90
35:15
of things maybe you should focus on that
35:17
especially when we agree 100
35:20
that the direction we’re headed is the
35:22
absolute wrong direction that we need to
35:24
make a complete 180 and start traveling
35:25
in this
35:26
direction for quite some time and if we
35:28
get to a point where now
35:30
we go huh well now now i disagree
35:33
on where we should be heading because
35:34
we’ve we’ve reached almost full
35:36
libertopia
35:37
and now we can start arguing okay i give
35:39
you the right i
35:40
let you reserve the right to argue with
35:42
folks in the future
35:44
once we have accomplished everything we
35:45
want to accomplish the other thing i
35:47
will say is that
35:48
the difference between the left let’s
35:50
say even the far left and the far
35:51
right when authoritarianism is involved
35:54
when the
35:55
coercion of the government is involved
35:57
is the difference
35:58
in the cold war or the war between the
36:00
nazis and the soviets
36:02
you know because now you instead of
36:04
letting people live the way that they
36:05
want and decide for themselves
36:07
you’re not just arguing over differences
36:09
of opinion you’re arguing over
36:11
who wins and who gets to impose their
36:14
side on the other
36:15
when you remove that power and when you
36:17
let people live their own lives which
36:20
all libertarians pretty much all
36:21
libertarians want us to do
36:24
then the difference between even the
36:26
furthest left and the furthest right
36:28
becomes
36:29
preferences of how they’d like to
36:31
voluntarily interact with others
36:34
so why are we arguing about this when we
36:38
agree that we’re headed in the wrong
36:39
direction when we agree that we want to
36:41
head in another direction and when we
36:42
agree that people should be able to do
36:43
what they want
36:46
great we’ll have a debate about it we
36:48
can debate all day long about which
36:50
side’s better
36:51
but in the meantime let’s go work
36:52
together because actual non-hypothetical
36:55
non-abstract things are happening right
36:57
now outside of your window
36:59
and in in your life as well so let’s
37:01
work together um
37:05
uh hey spike how do you convince staunch
37:07
conservatives that open immigration is
37:08
better for all of us in the long run
37:10
i focus on the fact that the founders
37:12
intended uh open immigration
37:14
and that it was it was democrats and
37:18
labor unionists who push for immigration
37:20
restrictions then i’d give them a minute
37:22
to process that
37:23
um and i mean you can get into the
37:26
statistics about how it’s better
37:27
economically but they don’t care about
37:29
that people don’t really care about
37:30
stats
37:30
they care about what they believe to be
37:32
their first principles well
37:33
conservatives tend to believe that the
37:35
founders
37:36
made the best system ever okay well the
37:39
founders intended
37:41
totally open immigration but the
37:43
compromise we’re willing to make at
37:44
least for now is you know more of an
37:46
ellis island system but the founders
37:47
intended that you can come and go as you
37:49
please and the reason you can come and
37:50
go as you please
37:51
is because who is the government to tell
37:53
you where you can go
37:55
and who you can allow on your property
37:57
you know i don’t want government in
37:59
charge of my health care i don’t want
38:00
government to tell me what what guns i
38:02
can or cannot own i certainly don’t want
38:03
them to tell me who i can let on my
38:05
property who i can host and
38:06
hire or house on my property who i can
38:08
marry that’s none of their business at
38:10
all
38:12
so you don’t get them all but you get
38:13
some uh would our tax dollars go to
38:15
planned parenthood
38:16
absolutely not uh under a libertarian
38:18
administration you’re you’re
38:20
first of all that that’s not even that
38:22
there’s no reason that the government
38:23
should even be involved in that
38:24
at any level especially federal and uh
38:27
it’s certainly not something that people
38:28
find reprehensible
38:29
and for a similar reason we wouldn’t use
38:30
tax dollars for war uh do you think it’s
38:33
possible to convert left wing
38:34
into the gold party it’s possible to get
38:36
anyone i for i keep it’s andrew i keep
38:39
forgetting to
38:40
say who’s asking the question um
38:43
raymond salazar uh oh well here’s here’s
38:47
the first one
38:48
um michael dion says spike uh
38:52
can we just click our heels three times
38:54
and get a libertarian in office
38:55
it’s worth a shot eddie baume i think
38:58
it’s bomb says are you familiar with
38:59
indiana hb1134
39:01
uh which is uh attempting to kick
39:03
libertarians off of
39:04
uh off of the ballot and i that question
39:07
disappeared
39:09
where were my comments so many you guys
39:11
are doing so great with comments
39:12
that i’m losing them uh because they’re
39:14
just coming in so fast
39:16
uh but so yes i have heard of that and
39:19
it’s it
39:19
you know why it happened because don
39:21
rainwater just ate their lunch
39:23
and uh you know got way more he was
39:25
spending pennies on the dollars that
39:27
they were spending and was able to get
39:28
like 13
39:30
and they’re horrified because he’s now
39:31
building a coalition and probably could
39:33
beat him the next time around so of
39:34
course they’re scared
39:35
um and this is the thing we can’t wait
39:38
for this system to benefit us
39:40
because the system is created by
39:42
republic rats they
39:44
want us out of office they want to make
39:46
sure that they
39:47
republicans and democrats agree on two
39:49
things number one is
39:50
every day is a special new day to screw
39:52
over the american people just a little
39:54
bit more than they did the day before
39:56
and number two is that by whatever means
39:58
they can
39:59
they have to stop anyone else from being
40:01
able to provide a viable alternative
40:03
to their thievery they agree that they
40:06
have to
40:07
rob the american people of any
40:09
alternative to being robbed blind by
40:11
them
40:12
to profit the cronies who put them in
40:14
office so of course they do something
40:15
like this
40:16
we have to work past them we can’t wait
40:18
for the system to benefit us
40:20
we can’t wait for the commission on
40:21
presidential debates to throw us a bone
40:23
and let us on we have to grow this thing
40:25
at the grassroots level and become such
40:27
a force that they can’t ignore us
40:28
that they can’t out legislate us that we
40:31
simply take over
40:35
are you in favor of the fair tax i am in
40:37
favor of any tax that has a zero percent
40:39
rate
40:41
uh where did joe jorgensen go we can ask
40:43
her the next time she’s online
40:45
uh no joe joe went back to teaching joe
40:47
was never very
40:48
uh active in social media before the
40:51
campaign
40:52
during the campaign she had a team
40:53
running her social media uh
40:55
she was busy campaigning and now she’s
40:57
back teaching full-time
40:58
um how do you feel about fish and game
41:00
licenses and tags i think that
41:02
any licensing is the government taking
41:04
your rights from you and then
41:06
licensing about selling it back to you
41:08
uh for a nominal fee
41:11
so i’m against it that’s bad uh did you
41:13
start growing your own vegetables yet
41:16
i have not but i probably should rain
41:18
water kicked dash yeah he did
41:20
uh how do you feel about a system of
41:23
taxation that is structured similar
41:25
similarly to crowdfunding i am in favor
41:28
of any form of revenue generation that
41:30
is voluntary in nature and i’ve i’ve
41:31
talked about
41:32
uh transaction fees voluntary
41:34
transaction fees where you could choose
41:36
to pay for you know you buy your phone
41:39
from uh
41:40
uh from you know best buy or whatever
41:42
and uh there’s a five percent fee on it
41:45
and if you decide not to pay it if best
41:46
buy decides not to pay it no one gets in
41:48
any trouble
41:49
but if something’s wrong with the phone
41:50
if it’s a dud and i go hey
41:53
best buy the phone’s not working what
41:54
happened it never turned on they go
41:56
i don’t know what to tell you i can’t
41:58
sue them i can’t try to you know
42:00
i can’t try to go after them because i
42:01
didn’t pay the fee so i can’t
42:03
it’s basically almost like a warranty i
42:05
can’t use the government’s protection on
42:06
that
42:07
um and you would apply that to any kind
42:08
of transaction
42:10
what that does is it makes it voluntary
42:12
which means that the
42:13
percentage that the government takes has
42:16
to be
42:16
less than what we perceive it to be
42:19
worth which means they can’t just rob us
42:21
all blind
42:21
you here is what taxation is imagine if
42:25
you and i
42:26
were to go and start a business and that
42:28
business model the way that we funded
42:29
that
42:30
business model was to go around our
42:31
neighborhood and hold guns to everyone’s
42:33
heads and say give us what we think you
42:35
owe us
42:36
and then we’re going to come back later
42:37
and give you some stuff if we think you
42:39
deserve it but you’re going to have to
42:40
fill this form out to see if you’re
42:41
eligible because you know i don’t want
42:42
to give we can’t give to everyone that
42:43
would be
42:44
that’d be socialism and so that system
42:48
is inherently not just immoral but it’s
42:51
corrupt
42:52
and it’s not going to lead to good
42:53
values it’s not going to i’m not going
42:55
to be a good steward of what i have i
42:57
can just rob you more and more whenever
42:58
i want to
42:59
what that’s not going to leave a a a
43:01
system based on a protection
43:03
racket and extortion under the threat of
43:05
violence is not going to get you good
43:07
outcomes
43:07
it’s not going to be valuable so you
43:09
switch it around make it voluntary make
43:11
it something that they actually have to
43:12
prove they have value
43:13
and here’s one let other people compete
43:15
with them
43:17
that’ll help uh
43:22
spike taxation is theft but how do we
43:23
pay for our military without taxes
43:25
exactly that
43:26
we use things like transaction fees
43:28
voluntary funding so that the government
43:31
can actually has to be accountable for
43:32
the money they bring in
43:34
because we can choose not to give it to
43:35
them if their fees too high just like
43:37
literally any other organization except
43:40
for government
43:42
everyone else has to prove that they
43:43
have value and demonstrate it
43:46
and not rob people except for government
43:49
and government cronies which is really
43:50
just an extension of government
43:52
if you and i have been able to manage
43:53
our whole lives to live through
43:55
voluntary funding
43:56
then so can they uh
44:01
hey spike the party seems to have ryan
44:04
titchen
44:04
asks uh the party seems to have many
44:06
symbols and americans like their symbols
44:08
which one is the best
44:09
i don’t know man i you know i and ryan
44:12
i’m sorry if you’re if you’re a woman
44:13
but most rhymes are men um i don’t know
44:16
ryan um i like the porcupine i also like
44:20
the torch um
44:23
you know that black and just the black
44:25
and gold is really like the ancap thing
44:26
i really like that it’s not technically
44:28
a symbol i just like it
44:29
um kevin king says rainwater absolutely
44:32
should have won in indiana he destroyed
44:34
on the debates i was in
44:35
indianapolis uh watching the at the at
44:38
the rainwater debate party for the first
44:40
debate
44:40
he killed that debate when he came back
44:43
from the debate
44:44
and we were still partying i said you
44:46
just demolished that debate he’s like
44:47
did i do okay and i’m like
44:49
you didn’t just do okay you just
44:50
complete you took that debate
44:52
and you monkey stomped it uh he he did
44:55
amazing
44:55
um
45:02
uh
45:04
oh here’s one jamie vote i think i’m
45:06
saying that correctly uh transgender
45:08
girls competing in girls sports in
45:10
school
45:11
i am not an expert on this field here’s
45:14
what i know
45:16
neither is joe biden
45:19
it shouldn’t be up to government to
45:21
decide these things
45:24
let the individual schools and districts
45:26
and leagues and whatever else
45:28
let them make these decisions and then
45:30
let the parents decide
45:31
if they go hey you know what that’s fair
45:33
or if they go oh that’s not fair
45:34
on either side of the debate and then
45:36
let them freely associate i know that
45:38
sounds insane
45:39
to let grown adults decide what they
45:41
have their children participate in
45:42
or grown adults that are participating
45:44
in sports decide what they want to
45:46
participate in
45:47
and the different leagues and
45:48
associations making their choices
45:50
uh uh as a result of that i know that
45:53
sounds like insanity but
45:54
that’s actually how it should be uh in
45:58
in our neighboring state north carolina
46:00
i live in south carolina in north
46:01
carolina there was a city
46:02
i forget which city um i think it was
46:05
charlotte
46:06
let’s say charlotte i forget which city
46:08
they they passed a rule saying that all
46:10
uh bathrooms had to allow
46:13
uh transgender people in the bathroom of
46:16
their of their choice
46:19
okay and then that they had to
46:22
even if it went against their religious
46:23
beliefs or whatever uh
46:25
and then the state government because
46:28
charlotte i think it was charlotte is
46:30
pretty progressive
46:31
the state government said no we’re gonna
46:34
ban it where you can’t let transgender
46:36
people in the bathroom
46:38
well neither side ever had any kind of
46:41
enforcement mechanism there was no
46:43
genital check
46:44
cops or anything like that it was just
46:47
really just virtue signaling on both
46:49
sides
46:50
but here’s what i kept asking and people
46:53
would turn around and go
46:54
huh that makes sense i’d say why don’t
46:56
you let whoever owns the bathroom decide
46:59
that
47:00
and people will go yeah
47:04
well hey wait what if they don’t let
47:05
trans people in the bathroom i go well
47:07
then the trans people and their
47:09
supporters and allies can go elsewhere
47:12
oh my goodness imagine if we let people
47:14
make choices for themselves
47:16
almost like they’re grown and you might
47:17
say oh we can’t allow that we can’t let
47:19
people make choices for themselves they
47:20
can’t be trusted well
47:22
if people can’t be trusted with freedom
47:24
and power over their own lives
47:25
why do you think that people can be
47:28
trusted with freedom and power over
47:29
other people’s lives
47:31
and if they can be trusted with freedom
47:33
and power over other people’s lives why
47:34
can’t they be trusted
47:35
with freedom and power over their lives
47:38
and then you might be saying
47:39
well yeah but that’s not everyone there
47:41
are some people who can be trusted with
47:42
that
47:43
okay who decides that the people
47:46
that you just said can’t be trusted
47:48
anyway uh let’s see here
47:53
where do we go uh
47:57
phil’s son yay i hope i’m saying or
47:59
sonia i don’t know
48:00
uh how far out of control do you suspect
48:02
the military industrial complex is
48:04
the military-industrial complex is in
48:06
total control
48:08
of everything okay you have
48:11
a this you know very woke progressive
48:14
media
48:15
that is also shilling for things like
48:18
the genocide in yemen
48:20
because that shows that black and brown
48:22
lives matter huh
48:23
yeah it’s they’re in total and complete
48:26
control uh
48:27
joe biden we just had an election where
48:30
almost no one talked about the fact on
48:32
either side at the national level
48:33
mentioned the fact
48:35
that we were currently embroiled in
48:37
multiple conflicts
48:38
and were currently funding a genocide in
48:41
yemen
48:42
didn’t even come up and if someone
48:43
brought it up like tulsi gabbard they
48:45
were brow beaten to death about being a
48:47
putin uh puppet uh you’re there for the
48:50
i bet the russkies were like that
48:53
this is where we are they’re in total in
48:54
complete control views on veterans
48:56
affairs
48:58
uh two two things first of all how odd
49:01
that nationalized healthcare
49:03
which is what the va is sucks
49:07
that’s the first thing second of all uh
49:10
we have people who take an oath to
49:13
protect
49:13
and defend the constitution and the
49:15
american people
49:16
against all enemies foreign and domestic
49:19
then they are often sent overseas
49:22
to fight and kill and possibly die for
49:25
the benefit
49:26
of those foreign and domestic enemies
49:30
and then they come home they often come
49:32
home if they are fortunate enough to
49:33
come home
49:34
not in a flag-draped casket they often
49:37
come home with ptsd
49:38
traumatic brain injuries whiplash
49:40
injuries hearing injuries all sorts of
49:42
stuff
49:43
uh not to mention the things they’re
49:44
exposed to that they’re not even told
49:46
about until
49:46
years or decades later sometimes after
49:48
after they’re dead
49:49
and then uh then they’re given the worst
49:52
form of health care in this country
49:54
the va which is also the most expensive
49:57
form of health care in this country the
49:59
va spends more money per patient than
50:02
any other form of health care in this
50:04
country and i know what you’re thinking
50:06
how if you know someone that’s in the va
50:10
more than likely you or if you’ve been
50:12
in the va had to deal with them
50:13
you know the nightmare stories you know
50:15
about waiting
50:16
years sometimes decades to be able to
50:20
prove your percentage of disability
50:22
before you can actually get any care and
50:24
then when you do finally
50:25
have access to the care you’re put on
50:27
waitlist for months
50:28
sometimes years you have to travel
50:31
sometimes to neighboring states to get
50:33
care meanwhile you’re driving past
50:34
however many medical centers but you
50:36
can’t go to those because those aren’t
50:37
the va
50:38
okay and you are subjected to a horrific
50:41
health care system that we have in this
50:43
country the va
50:45
here was here was joe and my plan uh
50:47
when we were running and it’s still my
50:48
plan
50:49
and the va and give them their money
50:52
just give the amount of money that it
50:55
costs
50:56
for them to be able to get comprehensive
50:58
no premium
50:59
no out-of-pocket care so that they can
51:02
go wherever they want
51:03
they don’t have to prove percentage of
51:05
disability they don’t have to spend
51:07
years 23 a day of them don’t have to
51:10
commit suicide
51:12
they don’t end up stuck hooked on street
51:14
drugs
51:15
like heroin to deal with their pain
51:17
issues because they can’t get
51:18
uh in front of a doctor and actually get
51:20
proper pain management
51:23
and it also saves taxpayers money
51:26
because giving them the money
51:27
to simply get their own health care
51:30
costs
51:31
less than the stupid system we have set
51:33
up for them right now
51:34
where most of the money or a good bit of
51:36
the money is spent making them go
51:38
through hoops
51:39
to ultimately try to deny them care i
51:41
mean you want to talk about a cynical
51:43
disgusting kafka-esque system
51:48
where they spend more money to deny you
51:51
care than it would cost to just
51:54
give you the care i know you’re shocked
51:57
to hear that that’s how a government
51:58
system works but
51:59
that’s all i can tell you so and the va
52:01
give them their money
52:02
um
52:07
uh thoughts on friedman’s suggestions uh
52:10
alicia jean
52:10
or jean asked thoughts on friedman’s
52:12
suggestion of universal basic income in
52:14
the form of negative income tax
52:16
when you create a system whereby
52:18
government is
52:20
largely campaigning on how much money
52:23
they’re going to give everyone every
52:24
month welcome to
52:27
hyperinflation
52:31
could ubi temporarily be better than the
52:33
the the uh
52:35
uh um means-tested
52:38
welfare system we have now probably it’s
52:40
probably more streamlined but here’s the
52:41
problem
52:42
when everyone’s getting money and that
52:45
becomes the main thing everyone talks
52:47
about
52:48
you’ve now created a system where
52:50
instead of
52:52
now everyone’s gonna run on hey i’m
52:54
spike cohen and you’re gonna get
52:56
five thousand a year a month if you vote
52:58
for me and then bernie sanders go spike
53:00
cohen doesn’t care about you
53:01
i’m gonna give you six thousand dollars
53:03
a month that was a terrible bernie
53:04
sanders
53:05
uh but then someone else comes up and
53:06
goes these two people look at these
53:07
chuckleheads they hate you
53:09
i’m gonna give you eight thousand
53:10
dollars now
53:12
while that’s happening the other thing
53:14
that’s happening is
53:15
tens of trillions of dollars have to be
53:18
printed out
53:19
to hand off to everyone okay and we
53:21
already know what happens when you print
53:22
out a bunch of money and expand the
53:24
monetary supply you reduce the value of
53:26
that currency
53:27
which makes the cost of living go up the
53:29
more you expand it the more the cost of
53:30
living goes up so not only are
53:32
politicians geared towards promising you
53:34
more and more
53:35
but they have to promise you more and
53:36
more because the money that you’re
53:38
getting increasingly isn’t enough to be
53:39
able to make ends meet
53:41
that’s how hyperinflation happens so no
53:44
ubi especially long term is a
53:47
terrible terrible idea amanda beckwith
53:50
how would you suggest
53:51
changing the police force hold them
53:52
accountable democrats and republicans
53:55
run on this stupid idea of
53:57
well we need to give them more money for
53:59
training so they don’t kill people you
54:00
don’t need training not to murder
54:01
someone
54:02
you need to hold them accountable when
54:05
they do
54:05
wrong if you and i could walk around and
54:08
do whatever the hell we want and know
54:09
that we aren’t going to be held
54:10
accountable to it
54:12
i’d like to think that i’d be just as
54:14
kind as i am but the reality is a lot of
54:15
people possibly even myself
54:17
wouldn’t if we’re not going to be held
54:19
accountable at all and if instead
54:21
an entire union and system is gonna
54:24
close ranks around me and protect me
54:26
every time i do anything wrong or hurt
54:28
anyone
54:30
my disincentive goes away i’m now
54:33
largely incentivized to do whatever i
54:36
want we see how this plays out
54:38
uh derek chovan the man who killed
54:39
george floyd he had i believe
54:41
was 16 or 17 other complaints against
54:44
him
54:45
including wrongful death he may have
54:46
already murdered someone else before he
54:48
killed george floyd
54:49
and the minneapolis police department
54:51
when they looked at derek chauvin they
54:52
made the same cost-benefit analysis that
54:54
police departments and government
54:55
agencies around this country make when
54:56
they look at the bad apples in their
54:58
bunch
54:58
they went holy crap this guy sucks we
55:00
should probably get rid of them
55:02
but if we do that the police unions are
55:03
gonna have a field day we’re gonna have
55:05
to fight them tooth and nail we’re gonna
55:06
have to spend probably hundreds of
55:07
thousands of dollars and
55:08
we probably won’t be able to get rid of
55:09
them and it doesn’t cost us it thanks to
55:12
qualified immunity it doesn’t cost him
55:13
or us or the unions anything to keep him
55:15
on the force so we’ll just wait for him
55:16
to murder someone then we can
55:18
we can try them and then you know put
55:19
them in jail on them then he won’t be
55:21
here anymore
55:22
if instead we got rid of qualified
55:25
immunity and
55:25
also we need to get rid of absolute
55:27
immunity for politicians
55:29
and prosecutors and judges but that’s a
55:31
whole other subject you get rid of
55:32
qualified immunity
55:33
and now the minneapolis police
55:34
department they go whoa we got to get
55:36
rid of this guy
55:37
before he does something bad because
55:38
it’s going to cost us a fortune
55:40
and the unions say we got to get rid of
55:42
this guy before he cost us a fortune
55:44
by doing something bad and it creates a
55:46
culture of accountability
55:48
because it turns out if you hold people
55:49
accountable they’re accountable and they
55:51
act accountable
55:52
and they self-regulate the libertarian
55:54
answer is that when you hold bad actors
55:56
accountable
55:57
they tend to self-regulate not because
55:58
they’re suddenly angelic beings because
56:00
they don’t want to lose everything
56:02
so let’s just hold them accountable oh
56:05
gosh you guys i i
56:11
uh let’s see here yes i agree with eric
56:14
july about the roads
56:16
uh
56:20
joe make drips oh uh made a donation
56:22
thank you thoughts on the
56:23
corona virus vaccine
56:27
well two things let’s first talk about
56:28
the distribution which has been mostly
56:30
stupid
56:32
in the places that have done well with
56:34
distribution like florida
56:36
a country that’s done well is uh israel
56:38
and other countries and states that have
56:40
done well
56:41
their distribution plan has been this if
56:43
you want the vaccine
56:44
first come first serve come and get it
56:46
now i think they had some priority
56:48
initial priority for like first
56:50
responders and things like that but then
56:52
it was hey if you want to come get it
56:53
get the vaccine come and get it
56:55
this is a vaccine that you have to get
56:57
twice over the course of several weeks
56:59
and then you have to come back every few
57:00
months to get it again this is not a
57:02
one-shot thing
57:03
you are going to have to just put
57:04
vaccines in people’s arms
57:06
whoever wants them and if they don’t
57:07
want it leave them the hell alone
57:09
because they don’t want it
57:10
so you know we have some states where
57:11
they’re holding it for the healthcare
57:13
workers
57:13
60 of the healthcare workers do not want
57:15
it we’ll talk about more on that later
57:17
uh why they don’t want it they don’t
57:19
want it and then you got
57:20
elderly people and even just people in
57:22
general going hey i’d like it they go no
57:23
no you can’t have it you’re not in line
57:25
yet
57:25
your place hasn’t been called yet and
57:26
then they end up having to throw the
57:28
vaccine away because
57:29
it doesn’t last that long out of dry ice
57:31
and you can’t keep it in dry ice storage
57:33
indefinitely
57:34
millions of doses so they end up
57:36
throwing them out
57:37
put them in people’s arms if they want
57:38
them so why are there so many people
57:40
that don’t want them
57:41
more pointedly why will i not be taking
57:43
it at least right now
57:47
the covid vaccine is based on a new
57:49
technology called mrna
57:51
and if it works as promised it will
57:53
completely revolutionize vaccination
57:55
and possibly other not just for viruses
57:58
but for other illnesses as well
58:00
there’s currently an mrna vaccine in the
58:02
works
58:03
for ms which i have i have ms and i
58:06
would love
58:06
to be able to take a shot of something
58:08
that ends or greatly reduces my ms
58:11
by just taking it that one time or maybe
58:13
every couple years or something like
58:14
that
58:15
mrna has the potential of being an
58:17
absolute game changer
58:18
in the world of saving people’s lives
58:21
but we don’t know yet
58:22
because this is the first time it’s been
58:23
used on humans in fact it’s still
58:25
currently
58:26
in clinical trials and will be until
58:28
2023
58:29
there isn’t a single vaccine specialist
58:31
or immunologist or epidemiologist who
58:33
will swear on a bible
58:35
that they know for certain that the
58:36
covid vaccine’s
58:38
side effects for the general public
58:39
won’t end up proving worse in the long
58:41
run
58:42
than the virus itself now i’m not
58:44
spreading fear and propaganda there’s a
58:45
good chance
58:46
that it’s going to be much better than
58:47
the virus itself so far
58:49
uh the at least the initial safety
58:51
studies have shown us that it
58:52
looks like it’s going to be much safer
58:54
so i’m certainly not telling you not to
58:55
do it
58:56
i am saying i’m not going to do it and
58:57
here’s why i have an autoimmune disease
59:00
my immune system acts weird about stuff
59:02
like milk
59:03
and gluten and stuff that most people
59:07
you can have and my my immune system
59:09
when it gets exposed to normal stuff
59:11
says hey
59:12
i think this thing over here is a
59:14
foreign pathogen but that thing is my
59:16
brain
59:17
so i’m not gonna play games with it uh
59:20
there is zero safety data
59:21
uh about this virus this vaccine
59:23
specific to people
59:25
with autoimmune issues and there
59:27
probably won’t be until it’s until it’s
59:28
complete
59:29
uh and again the the actual the date
59:31
when
59:32
drug makers will be able to say we know
59:34
for certain uh that this thing
59:36
long term is gonna be safer uh than the
59:38
virus itself
59:39
uh is for another two years so again all
59:43
of the preliminar
59:44
preliminary data shows that it is more
59:46
than likely going to be
59:47
way safer okay than the virus itself go
59:50
take it
59:50
if you want to take it if you feel like
59:53
you know for whatever reason
59:54
you feel like it’s it’s much more of a
59:56
risk to potentially get coveted
59:57
than to than to you know then to take
59:59
the vaccine take the vaccine i’m not
60:01
saying don’t take the vaccine what i am
60:03
saying
60:03
is no one should be forced to take the
60:05
vaccine and that we should stop
60:06
shaming people including doctors who are
60:10
refusing the vaccine
60:11
whether it’s because of some outlandish
60:12
idea that isn’t true or whether it’s
60:14
because of
60:15
doctors saying hey look it’s still in
60:17
trials no thank you
60:18
now even though it’s still in trials i
60:20
think that it should be out there i
60:22
believe in right to try
60:23
i believe that anyone who wants to take
60:24
it should be able to take it go take it
60:26
and i hope it works well
60:27
i hope that mrna not just for this but
60:30
for everything else i hope that mrna
60:32
proves to be the technology that it
60:34
promises that it potentially has the
60:35
promise to be
60:36
because it could save the lives of
60:39
hundreds of millions of people over the
60:41
next couple decades
60:43
not just with this with this virus but
60:45
with all sorts of stuff and improve the
60:47
livelihoods of people
60:48
there’s so much potential i am not
60:49
pooping this virus this vaccine
60:52
i am saying that especially after being
60:53
able to campaign across the country
60:55
35 states 75 campaign stops uh you know
60:58
interacting with tens of thousands of
61:00
people across the country
61:01
and being able to stay coveted negative
61:02
by using basic health and safety
61:04
precautions
61:04
i’m good so
61:07
but you should take it if you want to uh
61:09
wayward shinobi gave two dollars thank
61:11
you so much
61:12
uh another two dollars says uh what
61:14
should be done with indian reservations
61:15
first of all
61:16
anything that has been promised to the
61:18
natives
61:20
i don’t care if there’s stuff sitting on
61:22
it it was promised to them
61:24
give it to them number one number two
61:27
we need to uh end the bia
61:30
bureau of indian affairs and we need to
61:32
end this system
61:34
where natives on razor reservations if
61:37
they want to do anything
61:39
they have to get permission and wait
61:40
months and sometimes years to get
61:42
permission
61:43
it’s things like adding more uh trucks
61:46
to their
61:46
their their their fleet for their farm
61:48
or or
61:49
trying to sublet a property there are
61:51
many reservations they’re not even
61:52
allowed to own the property so they
61:53
can’t even sublet it
61:55
uh or you know adding more uh cattle to
61:58
their to their cattle or
61:59
adding more uh you know bushes to their
62:02
their crops
62:03
but then if they go and just do it you
62:05
know they have to wait months and years
62:07
to get approval and sometimes they’re
62:08
told no
62:09
but if they go ahead and just do it
62:10
within days the feds show up and tear it
62:13
down
62:14
proving that they could have responded
62:16
faster they just don’t
62:17
see any need to uh so we need to do that
62:20
we need to give them their
62:21
uh we need to give them the land that
62:23
was promised them back
62:24
and we need to let them have full
62:26
autonomy over it and
62:28
not try to tell them how to use it it is
62:30
their
62:31
land it was their land before there was
62:34
such a thing as the united states of
62:35
america and we need to be
62:37
uh cognizant and respecting of that uh
62:40
there are also things we need to do like
62:41
we need to uh free anyone involved with
62:44
the american indian movement that was uh
62:45
you know put
62:46
put in these political trials and and
62:48
tried for trumped-up charges people like
62:50
leonard peltier
62:51
um and others um we also need to uh i
62:55
think we need to rescind
62:56
the uh congressional medals of honor for
62:58
the people that participated
63:00
in the uh the the slaughter of innocence
63:03
on wounded knee there’s a ton of things
63:04
we should be doing to make right
63:06
uh with the with the natives but that
63:07
but that’s one of them um
63:10
let’s see oh man it’s 10 i’ve been doing
63:11
this for two hours holy crap
63:13
um here let me go down to the bottom
63:16
i’m going to answer i don’t know three
63:18
more questions and then
63:20
oh but i started at nine so it’s only
63:22
been an hour okay all right
63:28
um
63:30
uh spike oh here’s a good one jeremy
63:32
thomas uh what are your thoughts on
63:34
trade with china should we be trading
63:35
with a country that utilizes slave labor
63:37
we have to look at why this happened in
63:39
the first place
63:41
it is not all other things being equal
63:44
it is not
63:46
less expensive to make things on the
63:49
other side of the planet even using
63:51
slave labor
63:52
and then shipping it all the way back
63:54
here and having to deal with all the
63:56
costs related to shipping it and the
63:57
security of that shipping and everything
63:58
else
63:59
and the the fuel and every the only way
64:02
that that can make more sense
64:04
financially is if
64:06
the regulatory environment here is so
64:09
bad
64:10
that the cost of doing business here and
64:13
making things here
64:14
and hiring people here has become
64:16
prohibitively expensive so they have to
64:18
do it over there
64:19
now here’s where the real kicker is they
64:21
did it intentionally
64:23
so the big corporations realized that
64:25
especially the big manufacturers they
64:27
realized they didn’t want to have to
64:28
compete with smaller competitors here in
64:29
america
64:30
so they got their favorite politicians
64:32
in office and over the past next
64:34
few years and decades they passed
64:36
regulation after regulation after
64:37
regulation to protect the american
64:39
people
64:40
environmental regulations labor
64:41
regulations uh
64:43
so-called safety regulations anyone who
64:45
works in a field that has to deal with
64:46
osha knows that the vast majority of
64:47
that stuff
64:48
isn’t keeping you safe just making your
64:50
job harder right yeah
64:51
you know better than me all these
64:53
regulations that make it
64:56
increasingly prohibitively expensive to
64:57
do business here because
64:59
they could afford to do it but their
65:00
smaller competitors could not
65:03
eventually they reached a point where it
65:04
got so high that even they couldn’t
65:06
afford to do business here and they were
65:08
perfectly fine with that because all
65:09
along they intended to us
65:11
to move because they were the only ones
65:12
that could afford to do it to spend the
65:14
hundreds of millions of dollars in some
65:16
cases billions of dollars
65:18
to move their base of operations over to
65:20
foreign dictatorships like
65:22
china and other countries set up
65:24
sweatshop
65:25
slave labor uh labor over there
65:28
and then use the us military to protect
65:31
their shipments from piracy
65:33
all the way back here and then
65:37
in case that wasn’t enough then they can
65:40
use politicians to convince you that the
65:41
best way to deal with that
65:43
is tariffs except you pay the tariffs
65:46
and so does anyone who’s still make do
65:48
it making anything here they have to pay
65:50
the tariffs unless
65:51
they move to another country that
65:53
doesn’t have the tariffs
65:56
this is how they got you and as a result
65:59
of this
66:00
now not only did you lose your job
66:04
not only are you dealing in your
66:06
community dealing with the economic
66:08
issues the social issues all the bad
66:10
things that come from entire communities
66:12
being
66:12
unable to work entire industries fleeing
66:15
the us or just crumbling at the vine and
66:17
not being able to stay in business
66:19
not only all that stuff is happening not
66:22
only is there the environmental impact
66:23
of things being made on the other side
66:24
of the planet and
66:26
shipped all the way back here in tankers
66:27
exponentially increasing the carbon
66:29
footprint
66:30
on almost everything that you buy but
66:32
now
66:35
china and all these other foreign
66:36
dictatorships are getting more and more
66:38
rich
66:38
and more and more powerful and more and
66:40
more aggressive
66:41
on the world stage they’re getting so
66:43
aggressive they’re almost as bad as our
66:45
government
66:45
that’s a whole other subject this is
66:48
what happens
66:49
when the powerful create rules to
66:51
protect you
66:52
which really do no such thing what they
66:54
do is
66:56
enshrine them as the only people who can
66:59
afford to operate
67:00
in the toxic regulatory environment that
67:02
they have created
67:03
they turn us all into their consumers
67:06
and their wage slaves
67:08
they rob us of the ability to be able to
67:10
thrive
67:11
on our own to be able to make our own
67:13
businesses to be able to threaten their
67:14
precious market share
67:16
because god forbid they not turn into
67:18
trillionaires you know right now they’re
67:20
only 100 billionaires
67:21
uh you know this is what happens
67:24
again the answer is get rid of all
67:28
that nonsense dismantle the crony system
67:31
they’ve created
67:33
so that businesses can do business here
67:35
and afford to make things in america
67:37
and hire americans and you know make
67:40
things here
67:41
and you know be able to regrow these
67:43
communities
67:44
and many of those jobs will also come
67:46
back some of those jobs won’t come back
67:47
because they’ll just go out of business
67:49
over there and i’m perfectly fine with
67:50
cronies going out of business that’s how
67:52
you deal with china that’s how you deal
67:53
with trade in general
67:54
but the answer is not to tell people
67:56
they can’t trade with whom they wish and
67:58
the answer certainly
67:59
is it to put a punitive sales tax which
68:01
is essentially what a tariff is it’s a
68:03
value-added tax that’s paid by the
68:04
consumer on the people who lost their
68:06
jobs
68:08
that’s the last people that should be
68:09
punished
68:11
um well this is an interesting question
68:14
uh
68:15
alicia marie uh says do you know how
68:16
many people who are diagnosed with ms
68:18
test positive for lyme
68:19
and that insurance won’t cover long-term
68:20
treatment for people with chronic lyme
68:22
at lyme literate docks and that lab257
68:24
on plum island was doing
68:25
bio-warfare testing and there were many
68:27
outbreaks it’s near lime connecticut
68:29
hence the origin of lyme disease i don’t
68:30
know
68:30
what that last part was but uh yes i
68:33
know that a lot of people
68:34
one of the uh one of the triggers that
68:37
causes that can cause ms
68:39
is a lyme infection um i’ve been tested
68:42
both for regular lyme and the chronic
68:44
line which is kind of controversial
68:46
but i’ve been tested for that always
68:48
always came back uh
68:49
negative but i did get epstein-barr
68:54
and uh and it’s been uh um what’s it
68:56
called it’s been uh
68:58
dormant for quite some time but
69:01
epstein-barr which
69:02
i think 20 or 30 percent of americans
69:04
have epstein-barr or something like that
69:06
that can be a trigger for ms so it’s a
69:08
potential that it was when i got
69:09
epstein-barr
69:10
or that we’ll never know what the
69:11
trigger was that could have been some
69:12
environmental exposure or something like
69:14
that
69:15
autoimmune things are very very weird
69:17
one thing i’m really excited about
69:18
is this mrna technology in another
69:20
couple years if it’s looking like these
69:22
things are really as safe as they say
69:23
they are
69:24
and they’re able to actually make these
69:25
you know these these mrna proteins
69:27
that can go in and and make fixes to
69:29
your autoimmune that i mean that’d be
69:31
fantastic
69:32
in the meantime i’m on a very good
69:33
treatment that keeps it uh
69:36
that keeps it at bay so i’m very
69:37
grateful for that i’ve been stable
69:40
uh for um
69:44
gosh four years now yeah um
69:49
do you think snowden and assange will
69:50
ever be pardoned as soon
69:52
as as libertarians are in office snowden
69:55
assange
69:56
ross ulbricht reality winner
70:00
there’s so many people all the victims
70:02
of the the wars on victimless crimes
70:05
uh there’s so many people that need to
70:06
be let free um
70:10
chelsea manning that’s another one
70:14
what’s a good last question
70:19
well i don’t know because it’s only 10
70:21
10 so i can do some more back when i
70:22
thought it was two hours or a second
70:24
that’s probably too long
70:25
uh kirsten willett’s frisbee and i
70:29
apologize guys if i’m not saying your
70:30
name right
70:31
um opioid restrictions for chronic pain
70:33
patients i’ve had 17
70:35
17 surgeries and i do not take opioids
70:37
regularly
70:38
but when my should be
70:41
no longer covers my pain i am required
70:43
to go to a pain management md which is
70:45
fine by me
70:46
probably is that even problem is that
70:48
even pain doctors are pulling you back
70:50
from prescribing from fear of the dea
70:52
and losing their license how can the
70:53
regs be less a blanket policy
70:56
and put back in the treating physician’s
70:57
hand by getting rid of them entirely
71:00
your doctor working with you
71:04
should be able to decide whatever the
71:07
hell
71:07
you want to put in your body to help
71:09
with your pain now
71:11
let’s talk about opioids there have been
71:13
a bunch of studies on opioids
71:15
when managed correctly the rate of
71:19
uh of uh suicide the rate of overdose
71:22
the rate of chronic health issues
71:23
related to
71:25
proper opioid usage is actually not that
71:28
high
71:29
now it’s lower than it would be for
71:31
cannabis which maybe not for you but for
71:33
many people cannabis actually works
71:35
better and has even less risk
71:36
but properly managed by doctors opioid
71:40
abuse
71:41
is very uncommon okay here’s where the
71:44
problem comes in
71:45
federal government went well no i see a
71:47
problem here people are free to make
71:49
decisions about opioids we’re going to
71:50
put an end to that
71:52
so now there are these lifetime
71:54
limitations or
71:55
rolling limitations you can’t have more
71:57
than a certain number of opioids in a
71:59
certain period of time
72:00
so now if you want to get your opioids
72:03
you’re not working with your doctor in a
72:05
properly managed way
72:06
you’re going and buying it from people
72:08
that are pushing pills on you
72:10
so now it’s not being managed and you
72:12
can’t tell your doctor because they’re
72:14
required to report it because you’re
72:15
breaking federal law
72:17
so you got to figure it out yourself and
72:20
one day you go you know what
72:21
is way cheaper than these opioids that
72:23
i’m paying a fortune for
72:25
heroin it’s the same thing
72:29
and it’s so much cheaper you know why
72:31
it’s cheaper because there’s a glut in
72:33
the market do you know why there’s a
72:34
glutton market
72:35
might have something to do with the
72:36
pentagon protecting poppy fields
72:38
in afghanistan i don’t know it might
72:39
have something to do with that but
72:40
anyway
72:41
so now you’re using street drugs or
72:44
you’re getting
72:45
your your opioids outside of the care of
72:48
a doctor
72:48
so now you’re trying to figure it out on
72:50
your own and if you’re on heroin
72:52
you’re almost surely going to end up
72:54
overdosing that’s not a trunk
72:56
that you can properly manage and you’re
72:59
paying out of pocket and now you’re
73:00
dealing with all the issues that come
73:02
with getting addicted to a very very
73:04
hard drug like that ending the war on
73:06
drugs and letting people get the care
73:07
they need
73:08
is the only way forward period it
73:10
reduces the number of overdoses
73:12
it reduces the amount of addiction it
73:14
gets patients the care that they need
73:16
it gets government the hell out of it it
73:18
stops protecting the big crony
73:19
corporations so that you can get care
73:21
from whomever you wish to have and it
73:23
lets people out of prisons
73:25
it ends the cartelization of the
73:26
provision of drugs so you don’t have
73:28
these
73:28
these gangs and street gangs and and
73:31
cartels that are providing it those
73:33
cartels aren’t now able to bribe
73:34
and pay off politicians and law
73:36
enforcement agents which creates even
73:37
more
73:38
uh corruption we saw this with alcohol
73:41
we saw this with prohibition of alcohol
73:43
they took a problem which is drunkenness
73:45
and they turned it into a national
73:46
crisis
73:47
they took two-bit thugs like al capone
73:50
and
73:51
joe kennedy who previous to that they
73:53
were you know
73:54
bit you know two-bit hoods in their
73:56
neighborhoods you know running the
73:57
numbers and
73:58
numbers racket and the ext and the
74:00
protection racket and they turn them
74:01
into billionaires
74:03
they made them the most powerful people
74:05
on this planet
74:06
the kennedy dynasty started with a rum
74:09
runner
74:10
anyway so and the war on drugs um
74:16
oh here we go steve hellmich
74:19
9 millimeter or 45 acp
74:23
i spent most of my life being told
74:26
that 45 were made
74:29
because they had way more stopping power
74:31
than nine millimeter
74:34
and i was even told that they were
74:35
developed during the spanish-american
74:37
war
74:37
because they found that it was the only
74:39
you could knock down the the charging
74:41
troops or something like that
74:43
i don’t even know if that’s true but
74:44
that’s what i was told
74:47
and that’s what we’ve been told right
74:48
that 45s have
74:50
more stopping power now we’re being told
74:53
that that was never true and we’re being
74:56
told
74:57
that uh that nine millimeters uh and
75:00
that even if it ever was true
75:01
now with all the changes in the in the
75:03
technology of the actual rounds
75:04
themselves
75:05
nine millimeters are able to stop
75:06
someone every bit as much as 45s
75:08
and they have less recoil because
75:10
there’s less powder uh and also
75:12
they are um able to hold more capacity
75:16
uh because um because they’re thinner so
75:19
you can hold more in a magazine
75:21
uh and just overall they’re just better
75:23
and i’m told that that’s the case
75:25
and sure it’s hard when you’ve been
75:29
you know they say when you when you’re
75:30
in a cult it takes up to 20 years to
75:32
truly leave it
75:33
and i’m i just it doesn’t feel right it
75:36
doesn’t feel right to say yeah nine
75:38
millimeters better
75:39
for for you know for the the plurality
75:41
of reasons but
75:45
i’m not ready to say it um
75:49
in a amber clam clem asks in a
75:53
libertarian majority government what do
75:54
you believe the role of the government
75:56
and president should be uh so
76:01
if there is to be a government and we’ll
76:06
leave that open to question but if there
76:08
is to be a government
76:11
it’s only purpose at any level state
76:14
local federal whatever should be
76:16
protecting the lives
76:17
the rights and the property of the
76:20
people they’re in under its presumed
76:21
jurisdiction that’s it now
76:25
some of you more edgy kids might be
76:27
saying but spike
76:28
if the way government operates is
76:30
through taxation and
76:32
extortion and threats of violence then
76:34
isn’t it a violation of the lives and
76:36
rights and property of the people
76:38
we’ll talk about that later if a
76:40
government is to exist
76:42
then uh then that is all it should be
76:44
doing now at the federal level
76:46
really all it should be doing is
76:49
managing foreign relations
76:51
and keeping uh good relations between
76:55
the states
76:56
and uh allowing for the full faith and
76:59
credit
77:00
uh between the states now is that are
77:03
they needed for that
77:07
i don’t know but that’s all they should
77:10
be doing what would the president do
77:11
whatever congress tells him to and only
77:13
that and only if it lines up within the
77:15
con within the
77:16
the uh statutory confinements
77:20
of the constitution and that’s it that’s
77:23
it
77:23
that’s all the president should be doing
77:26
that’s it
77:27
let’s see
77:32
uh tony nunez says uh yeah i’m all for
77:34
doug
77:35
drug decrement but what about reddit
77:36
machine go brewer yeah
77:40
oh man oh man it’s been the last 24
77:43
hours
77:43
watching these kids just completely
77:45
school the hedge funds
77:46
it’s more than likely going to lead to
77:48
some really bad regulation but
77:50
you know you like to you like to see the
77:51
bad guys get in the in the jaw every
77:53
once in a while
77:56
um
77:58
here’s a good one nathan ward i asked
78:01
earlier on but you had a ton of comments
78:03
rolling in yeah i am there’s i mean i’m
78:04
maybe answering one percent of the
78:06
questions coming in
78:07
probably not even um uh how would a
78:10
libertarian administration handle
78:11
wildlife conservation and land
78:13
management funds
78:14
for federally protected lands used for
78:16
hunting and fishing without having a
78:17
licensing system to obtain funds for
78:19
these things and here’s the answer
78:21
federal government should not be owning
78:22
lands that it’s not directly using
78:24
that’s actually in the constitution
78:27
the constitution says that the us
78:30
military
78:31
can own federal government property like
78:34
like post offices which
78:38
i don’t know why the federal
78:39
government’s involved in mail but but
78:41
post offices uh uh uh train
78:45
uh oh what was it called rail
78:48
railroad rail lines or something like
78:50
something that isn’t even used anymore
78:52
but it’s in there
78:53
um and uh washington dc
78:57
and military bases and that’s it
79:00
that’s it shouldn’t own 80 of nevada
79:03
nevada sorry it shouldn’t own uh man i
79:07
got i got hell in nevada on that
79:08
um it it shouldn’t own all this stuff
79:11
and only should it not own it because
79:13
people go oh yeah okay great it
79:14
shouldn’t own it but but what if they do
79:15
the best they suck
79:17
they suck at managing it they do a
79:20
terrible terrible job
79:21
at managing what they have there was
79:24
like
79:24
25 years it took them to finally pass a
79:27
bill
79:28
that funded uh their crum rebuilding
79:31
their crumbling infrastructure
79:32
their entire like parks that were
79:34
unusable because
79:36
the bridges were you know were unsafe
79:37
and so there were just signs everywhere
79:38
saying don’t use anything and
79:40
you know the the bears took over or
79:42
whatever like it it’s
79:43
it’s terrible like they’ve done a
79:45
terrible job
79:46
they decimated i forget where it was i
79:48
think it was in like wyoming or
79:49
something they decimated an entire
79:51
ecosystem
79:52
because they did it bothered them that
79:53
the wolves were killing everything so
79:55
they got rid of all the wolves
79:57
and then the whole system crumbled
79:58
because it turns out you need wolves
80:00
so they had to bring wolves back that
80:02
was a whole thing right and there’s so
80:03
many examples
80:04
the wildfires that are happening right
80:06
now because instead of just letting
80:08
fires naturally happen they put them out
80:10
every single freaking time
80:11
and then they don’t let anyone come in
80:13
to clear up the debris that’s building
80:15
up
80:15
so then these freaking massive wildfires
80:17
happen if you go back to the writings of
80:19
the people like like
80:20
lewis and clark and and and the
80:22
homesteaders and people that
80:23
that traveled through the uh the
80:26
wilderness of the us
80:27
to go from east to west coast it wasn’t
80:29
all built up
80:30
there were large trees with lots of
80:33
space in between them
80:34
and regular rolling fires that happen
80:38
this was a natural part of the the
80:41
nature
80:41
natural landscape in the us
80:44
so then what the federal government does
80:46
it takes all the land over
80:49
and says yeah these are parks now no
80:51
fires allowed
80:52
nature
80:55
so when a fire happened they put out the
80:57
fire they tell people only you can stop
80:59
forest fire so if you’re out there and
81:00
you see a fire stop the fire okay
81:01
well what if it was a lightning fire no
81:03
no lightning lightning is now
81:05
illegal
81:08
as a result of this we see
81:12
when a fire happens there’s now so much
81:14
underbrush that it doesn’t just
81:16
you know kill the the smaller trees and
81:17
the underbrush and the saplings
81:19
it kills the big trees too it sets them
81:21
on fire too and leads to these massive
81:22
things
81:23
so all in all government is proven as it
81:26
often does that it
81:28
sucks at managing property i before this
81:31
show
81:32
wrote a comprehensive list of things
81:33
government doesn’t suck at i
81:35
couldn’t get anything okay listen
81:40
the best way to do this at the very
81:43
least it should be handled at the state
81:45
level
81:45
and i would actually argue that private
81:48
conservationists
81:49
would do a far better job of managing
81:52
their property
81:53
than the federal government does there’s
81:56
an example in i believe it’s louisiana
81:58
where the i correct me from i think
82:00
believe it’s the audubon society
82:04
this gets environmentalists some
82:05
environmentalists angry
82:07
i believe it’s the audubon society and i
82:09
believe it’s louisiana so it
82:11
don’t fact-check me because i think
82:12
that’s the case here’s what they did
82:15
they wanted to be able to manage the
82:19
their their their their conservation
82:21
area
82:22
so they they leased out a small amount
82:24
of it to energy developers to drill
82:26
now this happens in and around parks as
82:28
well so this isn’t anything new
82:31
but that was able to fully fund all
82:32
their their efforts and
82:34
that money has gone into other
82:36
conservation efforts so not only
82:38
not only are they able to manage that
82:40
property themselves
82:42
but they’re expanding their properties
82:44
and it’s on the back of a
82:46
voluntary commercial transaction which
82:48
also contributes to our energy grid
82:50
now you know i know a lot of
82:53
environmentalists would say that’s
82:55
terrible well
82:56
who’s going to fund it we already saw
82:58
government
82:59
has is doing similar things but the
83:01
difference is they’re not actually
83:02
managing the property because they’re
83:03
waiting to be able to rob you in a
83:05
couple decades when there’s some
83:06
major crisis because a bunch of people
83:08
died on a bridge or something like that
83:10
because that’s how
83:10
government operates through crisis so
83:13
why not just let private interests
83:15
manage it and conserve it because it’s
83:16
their property
83:17
and they want to conserve it for future
83:19
generations far better than the
83:20
government has
83:21
that would be my answer um
83:30
this is being fact checked by politifact
83:31
don’t don’t joke about that they’ll
83:34
fact-check your joke
83:35
um
83:40
[Music]
83:42
stephen tremblay how would how would you
83:44
deal with big tech to preserve the
83:46
liberty of people stuck amid monopoly so
83:48
much info to abandon to move elsewhere
83:49
now
83:50
i think there’s two things number one we
83:51
have to find other
83:54
other platforms one that i use a lot
83:57
is float um f-l-o-t-e dot app
84:01
and they also have an app on the play
84:02
store or you can sign load the app from
84:04
uh
84:04
from apple or just use the browser uh
84:07
use your phone browser to use float
84:10
um we have to we can’t we have spent too
84:13
long relying
84:14
on people who are openly hostile to our
84:17
ideas
84:18
uh or at some point became openly
84:20
hostile to our ideas
84:22
and hoping that they’d be nice to us
84:23
again and there’s no incentive for them
84:24
to do so until we start leaving and
84:26
finally making our own thing
84:27
also just in general uh the regulatory
84:30
structure
84:31
of uh of how who can operate businesses
84:34
in this country is such that it’s geared
84:36
toward big businesses so that
84:37
smaller competitors can’t thrive so what
84:40
happens is smaller companies
84:42
they realize they can’t thrive long term
84:43
so what they do is they come up with a
84:45
technology
84:46
that works as a proof of concept in the
84:48
hopes that it gets bought out or
84:49
licensed by a bigger player so that’s
84:51
what happens
84:51
these smaller companies come out with
84:53
these cool ideas and then facebook and
84:55
uh google and or alphabet the parent
84:58
company of google
84:59
and uh uh twitter and these other
85:01
companies they
85:02
they buy them out they they they buy the
85:05
the technology and utilize it
85:06
um the only way this is gonna change is
85:09
we need to deregulate
85:10
uh the just the overall market
85:12
environment that allows for more
85:14
competition from smaller competitors and
85:16
then the other thing we need to do is
85:17
just we need to our on our own start
85:19
finding our own things and building our
85:21
own thing we have to get out
85:22
from under the grip of people who they
85:25
don’t like our opinions
85:26
and the reality is it’s their platform
85:28
they do whatever they want with it it’s
85:29
their platform but we don’t have to use
85:31
it we have to we have to
85:32
not just we don’t have to use we have to
85:34
work towards building something else
85:36
utilize it as much as we can to pull
85:37
people in to using something else
85:40
um people talk a lot about section 230
85:42
section 230
85:43
is a good thing section 230
85:46
clarifies that if someone does something
85:49
illegal on a platform
85:50
or something that they’re held liable
85:52
for only they are liable for
85:54
it the platform isn’t that’s good if you
85:56
make it so that youtube can get sued
85:58
anytime something that they could be
85:59
held liable for happens on their
86:00
platform you think they’re censoring you
86:02
now
86:03
they will destroy you and the smaller
86:05
competitors who can’t afford
86:07
the the the controls that the bigger
86:10
competitor that the facebooks and the
86:12
twitters can
86:12
and that can’t afford an army of
86:14
attorneys to fight liability
86:15
they’ll just go out of business so
86:17
definitely don’t want to do that
86:19
oh gosh
86:27
um kenneth ebel says why are all the
86:30
major cryptocurrencies crashing today
86:31
honestly i think a lot of the crypto
86:33
people
86:33
are pulling out from crypto to get
86:36
involved in the stock stuff that’s
86:37
happening so
86:38
they’ll be back i mean i i believe
86:39
crypto is the future uh i guarantee you
86:41
it’s crashed down to
86:43
you know much higher than it was before
86:45
this last
86:46
uh jump started so i i
86:49
the day-to-day fluctuations really don’t
86:52
don’t bother me
86:53
of course i lost all of my crypto in a
86:57
charging okay yeah so
87:00
this is actually probably a good time to
87:02
buy crypto um
87:04
by the way someone earlier on mentioned
87:07
uh josh ferguson myspace tom loved us
87:09
all and we abandoned him yeah i know
87:11
but meanwhile he then sold my space and
87:12
he’s a never have to work again in his
87:14
life
87:15
um uh someone early on mentioned
87:19
the triple parentheses in my title my
87:21
fellow americans
87:23
and they said you know that’s a that’s
87:24
an uh echo symbol for for jews yeah
87:28
that’s why i did it
87:29
um my entire i’ve been a jew on the
87:31
internet since the early 90s
87:34
so god almost 30 years
87:37
man i’m old
87:41
anyway deal with that existential crisis
87:44
later
87:46
many many years like over 25 years i
87:49
have been a jew
87:50
on the internet and if you’re a recent
87:53
entry to being a jew on the internet
87:55
i’ve seen everything you’ve seen and
87:57
seen stuff that you can’t even really
87:59
see anymore because facebook will take
88:00
it down before it happens
88:01
um i’ve seen it all i’ve seen the triple
88:04
parentheses
88:05
i’ve seen the oy vey the [ __ ] know i’ve
88:07
seen the
88:08
most six gorillion i’ve seen
88:11
you know i’ve seen it all i’ve seen all
88:13
of the i’ve seen and heard all of the
88:15
different things
88:16
and again back in the days of aol chat
88:18
and freaking you know uh
88:20
uh uh was irs was ir irc
88:23
and yahoo chat like all these like you
88:25
know and the forums i saw
88:28
all sorts of horrific things and and
88:31
terrible terrible
88:32
jokes about it and i knew early on
88:35
when i wanted to start uh this
88:39
uh this start this podcast i knew what
88:42
would happen
88:42
yeah aol into messenger but there was
88:44
another one actually uh irc
88:46
or i wasn’t icp
88:49
but uh might have been nice to me um
88:52
uh you know i knew what i would start
88:55
this
88:56
that what would happen uh so uh david
89:00
davis what’s the difference between a
89:01
jew on the internet and a gentile on the
89:02
internet
89:03
massive amounts of guilt um but so i saw
89:06
that
89:07
you know i knew that when i started this
89:10
they’d come out of the woodwork oh spike
89:13
cohen
89:14
huh the goyum no shut it down i knew all
89:17
that would happen
89:17
right so the was it icq
89:21
okay yeah it was icq it was like i heard
89:24
oh
89:24
anyway so i i i so i i said you know
89:28
what i’m gonna head him off in the past
89:30
here it is this is the thing and i’ve
89:31
got to listen to the jew and all yeah
89:33
i’m a jew
89:34
ha ha funny funny and then so i’ve every
89:37
once in a while
89:38
when someone will come on and be like oh
89:39
it’s like i’m like yeah schmuck we get
89:41
it yes i’m jewish
89:42
thank you i’ve heard everything since be
89:45
that you’re about to say
89:46
before you were born so
89:49
go away or sit there and have everyone
89:51
laugh at you because no one cares like
89:52
no one did
89:53
this is so old and stupid so i reclaimed
89:55
it and said it’s mine now
89:57
and if you want to do it now you look
89:59
like an idiot and a schmuck
90:00
and a and a prick so that’s why i did
90:03
that it is intentional i do knew that
90:05
i knew irc was a the internet relay chat
90:07
so um
90:09
so yeah no i so i i have enveloped that
90:13
and i mean i i’ve got america’s jew here
90:16
like i’ve claimed this this is my thing
90:20
i’ve had to go through being jewish my
90:22
whole life and getting all those jokes
90:24
being in the deep south with like four
90:27
other jews
90:28
and now i get to do this it’s my thing
90:32
i don’t even care if you use it it’s not
90:33
even it’s my thing and you can’t use it
90:35
i don’t care if you use it go use it
90:36
put triple parenthesis like it’s the
90:38
stupidest thing
90:39
imagine thinking that you can hurt me
90:41
with punctuation marks
90:45
i’ll show you oh
90:49
like this when you disempower people
90:53
now if instead i went oh my gosh oh no
90:55
and you see this a lot on twitter people
90:57
will add
90:58
the triple parentheses to their names
90:59
when they’re jewish or even just an ally
91:01
to jews and be like yeah schmuck what do
91:02
you want
91:03
same thing here that that’s what it is
91:05
um nuclear energy yes
91:07
uh any conversation about reducing the
91:10
carbon footprint
91:11
uh whilst while not destroying us
91:13
economically and
91:14
and massively increasing the cost of
91:16
energy any conversation about that that
91:18
is not centered around getting rid of
91:19
the absurd burdensome regulations that
91:21
are keeping us from being able to build
91:23
new and more innovative and even safer
91:25
and newer and smaller versions
91:27
of nuclear power plants in this country
91:28
is not a serious discussion
91:30
and should be treated as what it is and
91:32
there’s no coincidence that republicans
91:34
talk about fossil fuels and fracking
91:36
and the democrats talk about renewables
91:39
which really just mean we’re going to
91:40
take a nuclear power off the grid add
91:43
these renewables
91:44
that are not stable and cannot reliably
91:46
provide to an ongoing
91:48
energy grid need so we end up having to
91:50
burn more fossil fuels to offset it
91:52
both of them are contributing to
91:55
big oil because they’re both in big
91:58
oil’s pocket
92:02
get rid of the regulations bring nuclear
92:04
back
92:05
it is safer statistically it is safer
92:09
it is cleaner it is cheaper and it is
92:12
more plentiful and stable a form of
92:14
energy than
92:15
any other one that exists not even it’s
92:18
not even close
92:19
by orders of magnitude it is more of all
92:22
those things
92:23
than any other form of available energy
92:25
right now and at this point
92:27
if we want to get to the nuclear fusions
92:30
if we want to get to the
92:31
renewables that actually are sustainable
92:33
and can sustain a grid
92:34
it’s going to take massive amounts of
92:36
research and development which means
92:38
lots and lots
92:39
of plentiful cheap energy to be able to
92:42
try to pursue these things
92:43
which you can get from nuclear that’s
92:46
the answer to that
92:48
and it’s more efficient yes um
92:52
jessica shore smalley says ashkenazi yes
92:55
i am a pale jew yes
92:57
um i’m actually part sephardic though
93:00
yeah jimmy jimmy lee says that’s what i
93:02
talked about on kennedy tonight we
93:04
actually talked about nuclear for
93:05
30 seconds it’s crazy it’s like a five
93:07
minute hit on kennedy your six minute
93:09
hit or whatever it is
93:10
and you have to like say all this stuff
93:12
thorium thank you ryan
93:14
thorium thorium
93:17
thorium so you know how like
93:21
the byproduct the toxic waste byproduct
93:24
of
93:25
of nuclear power plants of uranium and
93:28
plutonium
93:29
uh is it lasts for thousands or tens of
93:32
thousands of years that it’s half life
93:34
of radioactivity
93:35
for thorium it’s like a couple hundred
93:38
years
93:39
and the way that thorium salt reactor uh
93:42
and forgive me because i’m not a i’m not
93:44
a nuclear engineer but the way the
93:46
thorium salt reactor
93:48
it’s basically like a a giant um
93:52
the way it works is if it has any kind
93:54
of uh
93:55
instability it just goes offline and
93:58
becomes cold and it does there’s not a
94:01
meltdown there’s no capacity for a
94:02
meltdown um
94:04
and because of its nature they can be
94:06
smaller so you can have like uh
94:08
small installation plants and then it
94:10
can be self-contained so that when the
94:11
waste is done
94:12
you can pretty much just like put it on
94:14
a on a shipping container
94:16
and and ship it away to somewhere uh for
94:18
safe disposal
94:19
where again it only lasts for a couple
94:20
hundred years and it lasts for thousands
94:22
of years so
94:22
thorium yes it’s someone’s it’s
94:24
someone’s tagging
94:25
james ray yes you should tag james right
94:27
thorium energy from thorium is is
94:29
absolutely a great thing
94:31
uh david riddle spike you’re such a stud
94:32
oh thank you
94:34
yes liquid fluoride thorium salt
94:36
reactors look that up lftr
94:39
um but there are uh
94:42
but there are regulations that make it
94:44
cost prohibitive to be able to do it why
94:47
because a big oil that’s why
94:50
uh robert shanley or shanely uh how many
94:53
more times will you be on kennedy why
94:54
are the segments so short at this point
94:56
it looks like i’m a regular on kennedy
94:57
which is really cool
94:58
the segments are short because that’s
94:59
the nature of the show she has
95:01
uh like an hour-long show or a 50-minute
95:03
long show uh
95:05
but that but um uh oh you did get the
95:08
mic thank you jimmy
95:09
uh but you know she wants to talk about
95:11
multiple things
95:12
so she has a you know a panel that’s 10
95:14
minutes and a guest that’s
95:15
six minutes and i guess that’s four
95:17
minutes i guess it’s this and she has
95:18
her monologue so
95:19
you know it’s not it’s not like this
95:20
where i’m just sitting here talking to
95:21
you if in this even
95:23
you know hour and a half that i’m
95:25
spending with you i were to
95:27
you know have 15 guests on they’d all
95:30
get like 10 minutes or whatever
95:31
it’s just it’s the nature of cable news
95:33
and just and
95:34
broadcast news in general i’m glad you
95:36
got the mic um
95:42
thorium reactors require a plutonium
95:44
seed it’s not react it’s not
95:46
fissile by itself so if you remove the
95:47
seed the fission reactor stops itself
95:49
exactly adam basically if things go
95:52
wonky
95:53
you could there’s like a safety switch
95:54
you can pull pretty much
95:57
uh ryan campbell any chance you would do
95:59
shapiro’s sunday special i’d be happy to
96:02
um uh brandon davis what are your
96:06
thoughts on raising the federal
96:07
minimum wage the reason that big
96:09
businesses want to raise the federal
96:11
minimum wage
96:12
is because they know that it will be the
96:13
final death knell for their smaller
96:15
competitors they can afford it
96:17
walmart amazon target costco uh
96:21
netflix most of them are paying most of
96:23
their employers more than that anyway
96:25
but they’re they’re fine with increasing
96:27
it because now the
96:29
now their competitors can’t afford it
96:30
they go out of business um
96:32
the real problem here is that our money
96:34
has lost so much value over time what
96:38
used to be you know what what used to
96:39
cost
96:40
you know fifty dollars for groceries
96:42
would now cost
96:43
two hundred and fifty dollars in fact
96:45
it’s actually worse than that when the
96:46
federal reserve was created in 1913
96:48
in that 17 years or almost 18 years now
96:51
since it was created
96:52
your money has lost 98 of its value
96:55
let me say that this way imagine if your
96:58
money was worth 50 times more than it is
97:00
now
97:01
and imagine if because it’s worth 50
97:03
times more than it is now
97:05
you were able to save so much
97:08
which means it’s now worth even more
97:09
than that because of compounding
97:11
interest
97:12
and you could have even more money and
97:14
you could you could be
97:15
like your grandparents who worked over
97:17
the summer and can buy a car with it
97:20
or get out of college start working and
97:22
immediately be able to buy a house
97:24
and you go that’s not attainable now
97:26
it’s not attainable now because they
97:28
have destroyed the value of your money
97:29
with the federal reserve and other
97:30
disastrous economic and monetary
97:32
policies
97:33
fix that fix that
97:36
and now you can afford things now the
97:38
cost of living starts going down
97:40
and you don’t have to talk about putting
97:42
small mom and pops
97:43
and small providers entirely out of
97:45
business because they can’t afford to
97:47
pay everyone
97:48
15 make your money worth more instead of
97:50
jacking up the price of it
97:52
get rid of these regulations and in
97:54
addition to that you know how else you
97:55
can get paid more
97:56
basic economics the reason why so many
97:59
people are having to rely on a minimum
98:00
wage increase
98:01
is because of supply and demand right
98:03
now the demand for american labor thanks
98:05
to all these regulations we’ve been
98:06
talking about
98:07
is pretty low and as a result of that
98:09
the supply of americans
98:10
that are looking for gainful employment
98:13
is high that’s called a glut
98:17
do the opposite get rid of those job
98:20
killing regulations
98:21
so that the demand for labor now it’s
98:23
more affordable to do business here than
98:25
anywhere else
98:26
it’s more affordable to hire people here
98:28
and to make things here
98:29
now the demand for your labor goes up
98:33
and as a result the supply of people
98:35
looking for good work
98:37
goes down because they’ve already got
98:38
good work or they can make their own
98:39
business or whatever they’re not looking
98:40
for jobs
98:42
now you’ve got where the the cost goes
98:45
up you’ve got the opposite of a glut
98:47
you’ve got a you’ve got a bull run now
98:48
now the
98:49
the the uh demand is outstripping the
98:51
supply
98:52
and uh employers are tripping over
98:54
themselves to hire you
98:55
now you can expect more money now you
98:58
can
98:58
demand uh things like um unionization
99:02
collective bargaining now you can demand
99:04
more
99:04
compensation and and and not just direct
99:07
pay but
99:08
you know uh uh child care and pensions
99:11
and
99:12
insurance and things like that now you
99:13
can do that not because the government
99:14
got involved but just because
99:16
it’s so there’s more businesses growing
99:19
there’s more businesses coming here to
99:20
hire you instead of
99:21
leaving and not taking your jobs with
99:23
them there’s ones coming and bringing
99:25
jobs for you to for you to fill
99:27
and now you can charge more because your
99:28
labor is actually more valuable while at
99:30
the same time
99:31
we reduce the cost of living by ending
99:32
mon inflationary monetary supply
99:34
so the money you’re getting is worth
99:36
more more money that’s worth more
99:38
mo money mo money more money i it
99:40
saddens me that probably 80
99:42
of you don’t even know what that means
99:50
josh ferguson and i i’m gonna take i
99:52
think what is it 1
99:53
10 40 am i at some point my wife’s going
99:55
to come in here and
99:56
ask me why i’m still doing this um i’m
99:59
going to ask answer just a couple more
100:01
questions
100:02
um in your opinion is returning to the
100:05
gold standard even achievable at this
100:06
point
100:07
of how deep we’ve dug our hole you know
100:08
i i think that there’s so many more
100:10
dynamic solutions than gold
100:12
right now like crypto i think that we
100:14
just leave it up to the market to decide
100:15
why is the government
100:16
deciding what money is why is the
100:19
government forcing you
100:21
to use their monopoly money and then
100:23
printing more of that money out
100:24
which they lend to themselves and make
100:27
you and future generations that aren’t
100:29
even born yet
100:30
pay off over the next 40 years with
100:32
interest
100:33
while simultaneously increasing the
100:35
money supply which reduces the value of
100:37
your money oh i know because they have a
100:39
monopoly
100:40
and there’s nothing you can do about it
100:42
so get them out of it
100:43
let providers trip over themselves
100:47
to provide you with the best currency
100:49
because they want a piece of the action
100:51
they don’t want you to go with the other
100:52
guy they want you to go with them
100:54
that’s how you get good value
100:58
what is your take on gun control uh the
101:00
only my thoughts on common sense gun
101:02
control
101:03
is that the american people should be
101:05
armed with whatever the hell they want
101:06
and we should get together and decide
101:08
what we allow the government to have
101:10
um i was recently asked you know do you
101:12
think that we should
101:13
uh have rules that uh limit the
101:16
amount of the the gun ownership of
101:18
people who are the most likely
101:19
to uh to commit murder and i said yes we
101:21
should definitely limit
101:22
uh government’s weaponry um
101:26
let’s see here
101:32
super bowl picks i don’t even know who’s
101:34
in it man
101:36
brad i’m sorry i it’s not uh yeah see i
101:39
got people dropping off because it’s
101:41
like almost 11.
101:42
uh idaho libertarian chance good to meet
101:44
you idaho was one of the few states i
101:46
didn’t visit
101:47
i did 35 states and uh
101:50
and and one of the 15 i didn’t was idaho
101:52

101:54
um doe coin hey sure
101:58
i i
102:01
you know doe coin game stop
102:05
coin they should make game stop coin
102:06
that’ll probably be the future
102:08
um
102:13
uh thoughts on second amendment
102:16
sanctuary counties
102:18
i’m fine with it uh any county cities
102:20
whatever that wants to confound the
102:22
federal government and force them
102:23
to comply with the the constitutional
102:25
limitations they’re supposed to live
102:26
with it
102:27
that’s great i’d prefer to have a second
102:28
amendment sanctuary country
102:30
uh but you know i’ll take accounting uh
102:36
alaska i like yes i’m going to alaska
102:39

103:25
me out um
103:29
oh let’s end on
103:33
oh well here so adam way this is an easy
103:35
one adam says what are your thoughts on
103:37
legislation like the second amendment
103:39
preservation act that’s being debated on
103:40
in missouri
103:42
too long didn’t read it invalidates all
103:43
federal gun control and allows people to
103:45
sue tyrants
103:47
i like it i am all for that adam so here
103:50
is the one that i’m going to end on
103:52
because i want to end big i was going to
103:54
end big
103:56
and it’s actually two questions i got
103:57
they’re both the same thing both michael
103:59
stackpole
104:00
and nicole carter gray in their own
104:02
different ways
104:03
asked how do we get costs down through
104:05
the health care sector
104:08
you’re going to be shocked if you’ve
104:09
been watching this whole thing folks
104:11
but the problem is that government has
104:14
created a system
104:15
that robs us for the benefit of major
104:18
crony corporations are you shocked yet
104:22
here let’s explain what the problem is
104:23
so before fdr thanks again fdr
104:26
before fdr the way that it worked was we
104:29
had what was called a price equilibrium
104:33
price equilibrium if a doctor charged
104:36
more than their patients could afford
104:38
they didn’t have any patients because
104:40
the patients couldn’t afford it
104:42
or they might have one or two patients
104:44
but they’d have more patients
104:45
if they could bring the price down to
104:47
what people can afford
104:48
that’s called a price equilibrium and
104:50
for those who couldn’t afford it
104:52
no mutual aid and charity could take
104:54
care of those things or even a small
104:56
social safety net provided by government
104:58
not my preferred solution
104:59
but absolutely could deal with that that
105:03
minority of people who couldn’t afford
105:04
health care then we can thank fdr
105:06
here’s what he did during world war ii
105:09
the greatest employer of people
105:11
by far was the federal government almost
105:13
everyone was working for the government
105:15
for the war effort
105:16
so the federal government stepped in fdr
105:18
threatened wage caps
105:20
maximum wages to try to keep the cost
105:24
down
105:25
and so the companies that were providing
105:27
the war effort
105:29
proving again that when demand for labor
105:31
is high in supply of labor is low you
105:33
got to
105:33
raise your compensation they went you
105:34
can’t do this to us we’re struggling
105:36
to find someone that can work for us
105:38
right now so here’s how they got around
105:40
it
105:41
instead of offering higher wages which
105:43
they couldn’t or looked like they
105:44
weren’t going to be able to
105:45
they started offering benefits
105:48
pensions child care comprehensive health
105:52
insurance now up until then
105:53
the only health insurance that was out
105:54
there was called catastrophic insurance
105:56
you paid a small
105:57
basically a nuisance fee uh and
106:01
if you had a catastrophic health event
106:04
a cancer or a major accident or
106:07
something like that
106:08
they would come in and pay for that but
106:10
your day-to-day
106:11
you know standard uh doctor care you
106:14
would just pay for that out of pocket
106:15
the doctors charged what you could
106:16
afford
106:17
and they could charge what you could
106:19
afford because they didn’t have a
106:20
massive
106:21
mountain of regulators and
106:22
administrators and in-house
106:24
administrators
106:25
and insurance red tape bureaucrats and
106:27
all these other people that have to get
106:28
paid
106:29
they’d have to do any of that they just
106:31
got the best price for the stuff that
106:33
they used to give you the best price for
106:35
your value
106:38
thanks to health insurance now you’re
106:40
not paying for your health care
106:41
now your insurance company’s paying for
106:43
your health care and you’re having to
106:44
pay them a certain amount
106:45
every single month right so you try to
106:48
use as much as you can
106:49
and you’re not the one paying for it
106:50
that drives up costs and it removes the
106:52
price equilibrium because now that
106:54
doctor
106:55
they can it’s not what you can afford
106:57
it’s what a multi-billion dollar company
106:59
can afford
107:00
so then the government got involved and
107:01
said well the problem here is that
107:03
you’re paying too much first you’re
107:04
charging more
107:05
than uh what you’re paying for things
107:08
we’re going to introduce cost plus
107:09
you can only charge a certain percent
107:11
more than what you’re paying
107:13
for stuff that’s genius here’s what
107:15
happens now
107:17
instead of me paying five two dollars
107:21
for a saline bag and charging you six
107:23
bucks for it
107:24
they go well that’s right that’s
107:25
profiteering now
107:28
i buy a 500 saline bag
107:32
and charge you 550 dollars for it and
107:35
make
107:36
50 bucks because i can only charge a
107:38
certain percentage more than i paid so i
107:40
intentionally pay more for everything
107:43
and again it’s not based on what you can
107:45
afford it’s based on what your
107:47
insurance company can afford and so
107:49
there’s one thing after the next that
107:50
they add to this
107:51
uh um patent protections for drugs that
107:55
have been around longer than any of us
107:56
have been alive
107:57
um uh what else uh a certificate of need
108:00
laws that allow
108:01
major crony healthcare companies health
108:04
health management companies
108:05
to basically crowd out their smaller
108:07
competitors not let them
108:09
expand their medical centers or build
108:11
new hospitals or medical centers or
108:12
whatever
108:13
uh and the uh uh law is not allowing
108:16
did you know your doctor’s not allowed
108:18
to give you health care for free
108:19
that happened in 2003 or two
108:22
early 2000s they get all these things in
108:26
place
108:27
so that now the average american family
108:29
cannot afford health care even with
108:31
government subsidation guess who’s
108:34
making a fortune off of that
108:35
the cronies guess who will make a
108:37
fortune if we switch to medicare for all
108:39
the cronies it’s the same system
108:42
except now they only pay for it with tax
108:45
dollars
108:46
and future debt which means they’re just
108:47
money machine goes
108:49
and they’re just going to print out a
108:50
bunch of money and make your kids and
108:52
grandkids pay for it
108:53
and by the time they get around the
108:55
whole thing will probably crumbled and
108:57
now not only are they paying for health
108:58
care out of pocket but they’re paying
108:59
off your debts
109:01
schmuck not you
109:04
this is a bad system imagine the way
109:07
that you get
109:08
uh let’s compare to a chicken sandwich
109:11
okay
109:11
something really benign if you don’t
109:13
like chicken i apologize
109:15
chicken sandwich the way you buy a
109:17
chicken sandwich is you go hmm i want a
109:18
chicken sandwich now if i get in
109:21
if i go to uh popeyes it costs this much
109:24
it’s a really good sandwich if i go to
109:26
chick-fil-a it costs this much man
109:27
that’s a really good sandwich
109:29
i don’t really have a lot of money but
109:30
if i go to mcdonald’s uh i can get a
109:31
chicken sandwich it’s not that
109:32
not that great but it’s you know it’s a
109:34
buck 25 or whatever it is now that’s
109:35
kind of cheap but
109:36
you know or i could go to the grocery
109:38
store and go get all my old stuff i
109:40
don’t really have time for that
109:41
i’m gonna go to chick-fil-a bojangles
109:43
popeyes whatever okay you go in
109:45
you say hey i’d like a chicken sandwich
109:47
they go hey great news we got chicken
109:48
sandwiches
109:49
here you go this is gonna be the amount
109:51
that you already knew it was before you
109:52
got here
109:53
or maybe you didn’t know but you had an
109:54
idea and you and you look at the price
109:56
sheet and says right there up with the
109:57
thing
109:58
how much the chicken sandwich is you go
109:59
wow this is great
110:01
okay yes i am schvitzing uh and
110:04
but imagine if we used if we bought
110:07
sandwich chicken sandwiches the way that
110:08
we buy healthcare in this country
110:10
you go into the doc you go into your
110:12
doctor you say i want a chicken sandwich
110:15
i’m gonna have to make some calls you
110:18
find out
110:20
which chicken sandwich providers are
110:22
covered by your chicken sandwich
110:24
insurance and you
110:27
you look up which ones have the best
110:29
ratings none of them are good but you
110:31
know
110:31
i guess i’ll go to this one it’s closest
110:33
to me you call and say yes i like a
110:35
chicken sandwich and they say okay we’ll
110:36
see you
110:37
tomorrow at 4 pm don’t be late so you
110:40
have to wait till tomorrow you get in
110:41
maybe next week you get in finally
110:44
you’re in a big line
110:45
of people you get in you’re going
110:47
because there aren’t nearly as many
110:48
chicken sandwich stores
110:50
because most of them can’t afford the
110:51
regulatory structure that’s been created
110:54
uh regulatory environment so you go in
110:55
you go up you say i’d like a chicken
110:57
sandwich and they go
110:58
okay uh and you go how much is that they
111:00
go we don’t know
111:01
what you you have to give us your
111:02
insurance you go okay fine i got blue
111:05
cross blue chicken
111:06
and they go all right okay and they go
111:07
okay this is the uh this is the uh
111:09
the the the bcbc hmo plan uh we’re gonna
111:12
run this through
111:14
uh going to need your insurance and uh
111:16
or we’re gonna need your license
111:18
uh and your um social security number
111:20
we’re gonna run it through
111:21
uh and we’re gonna we’re gonna hook you
111:22
up with a chicken sandwich now and you
111:24
go in
111:24
and they give you the sandwich you go
111:26
gosh this sandwich is terrible am i
111:27
gonna die from the sandwich think oh no
111:28
uh it has had trials
111:30
uh and it’s it looks like you should be
111:32
okay there you go
111:34
okay you eat it you don’t feel good you
111:35
don’t like it very much but at least
111:37
you’ve had
111:38
sustenance and you won’t die um six
111:41
weeks later you find out that your
111:42
chicken sandwich
111:43
cost 580 but thankfully your insurance
111:46
company
111:46
is going to cover 80 of that so you only
111:48
have to pay 116
111:51
and you go wow can you imagine if i had
111:53
to buy chicken
111:54
on the open market i’d be screwed i
111:56
can’t afford chicken sandwiches
111:57
that’s the system that we have right now
111:59
for health care i want health care to be
112:02
as regulated
112:03
as chicken sandwiches
112:06
that’s my answer to that get the cronies
112:08
out of it get rid of the regulatory
112:10
structure
112:10
stop making money for powerful people
112:13
stop letting them fleece and rob from
112:15
you
112:15
get rid of the regulations that drive
112:17
you to them
112:19
and now when you go to the doctor they
112:21
go here’s what we need to do
112:23
here’s how much it’s going to cost would
112:25
you like to do it with me and you go i
112:26
think i’m going to go to someone else to
112:27
get another free consultation from
112:28
someone else
112:30
you get a couple different doctors
112:31
telling you what you need you get the
112:32
best decision
112:33
you make the best value-based decision
112:35
who is providing the best value for you
112:37
and then you go based on that
112:40
and it’s going to be much more
112:41
affordable and
112:43
it isn’t going to run up trillions of
112:45
dollars of debt for people that aren’t
112:46
even born yet we talk about taxation
112:48
without representation in this country
112:50
we are running up debt that will have to
112:52
be paid off from tax revenue from people
112:54
that don’t it
112:54
aren’t alive yet that if that isn’t
112:57
taxation without
112:58
representation what the hell is
113:01
get the cronies out of it put the power
113:02
back in the hands of the people and we
113:04
live better lives that
113:05
is the libertarian way we recognize that
113:07
people do best
113:09
when they are most free when you are
113:11
able empowered with your money
113:13
and your freedom and your opportunities
113:15
and your power
113:16
to make decisions for yourself in free
113:19
association
113:20
with other individuals acting in a free
113:22
market a market any people set free
113:25
you are able to have better outcomes
113:28
because someone a thousand miles or
113:30
hundreds or thousands of miles away
113:32
even if they were had the best of
113:34
intentions are never going to be able to
113:36
know
113:37
as well as you what you need
113:41
and with that kind of power they’re not
113:43
going to have the best of intentions we
113:44
see the people that are in power right
113:45
now
113:46
and people often say to me well how can
113:48
we trust libertarians because we’re not
113:49
going to go there and take the power and
113:50
go wow we can run this better we’re
113:51
going to dismantle the whole thing
113:53
i am running on a platform where i was
113:54
running on a platform last year
113:56
libertarians run on a platform of saying
113:57
we don’t know what you need we just want
113:59
to give it back to you
114:01
so you can go do it yourself now how do
114:03
we do that
114:04
we have to win we have to win more local
114:06
elections we have to win more states
114:08
wide elections we have to start winning
114:09
federal elections how do we do that
114:11
we get our ideas out into the public we
114:15
we grow at the grassroots level if you
114:17
have not already done so when you are
114:18
watching this
114:19
join the libertarian party go to lp.org
114:22
join
114:22
join the party now then go and find your
114:25
state and local affiliates or get in
114:26
touch with your state affiliate
114:28
and see if they have a local affiliate
114:29
in your area if they don’t have a local
114:31
affiliate in your area
114:32
start one of your own they will give you
114:33
the resources to do it if they do have a
114:35
local affiliate in your area
114:37
join your local affiliate i get so many
114:39
people saying what can i do in my
114:40
area i don’t know your local affiliates
114:43
and your state affiliates
114:45
have no shortage of things that you can
114:46
help them with if you feel so compelled
114:49
to run for office they will give you the
114:50
resources to run for office
114:51
if you feel so compelled to just help
114:53
spread the message they’ll give you the
114:54
resources to do that
114:56
if you feel so compelled to help someone
114:57
else run for office they’ll help you
114:58
with that
114:59
go and get involved we can win and when
115:02
we win
115:03
then our ideas are no longer just these
115:04
like hypothetical things that wouldn’t
115:06
be great if we could end the offended
115:07
and
115:07
we can actually end the fed we can
115:09
actually end the wars we can actually
115:11
set people free from cages
115:12
we can actually set this damn country
115:14
free and start
115:16
a snowball effect across this planet
115:18
libertarians are fighting for it nothing
115:20
less
115:20
than a world set free in our time our
