ladies and gentlemen welcome to another episode of the podcast rack your brain i am dominic leon this is charles fuchs
0:20
and this is a once again another episode of your favorite podcast and uh let's just jump into it first
0:26
topic gasoline prices what do you got well
0:32
some people believe that that gasoline is a fuel that uh that people enter
0:37
you know put into their vehicles in order to generate internal combustion and then
0:42
facilitate the uh the mobility of those vehicles shout out to kamala harris thanks for that
0:49
are you saying compliment and it's kamala and are you saying that that uh kamala invented the internal combustion
0:55
dungeon no but she invented the uh the explanation of the obvious
1:01
okay fair enough all right certainly came up with that one all on our own too so gas gas prices
1:08
are high and i realized i put my my phone on on silent but uh gas prices are are high um
1:14
you know some people would say the gas prices fluctuate how too damn high
1:20
is that a party is it gonna be the one of the new york uh no it's from that
1:31
literally he created a party called the rent is too damn high party and he was the representative that's right right it's too damn high
1:38
all right so well if the unions didn't charge 72 dollars for a brick
1:44
the the gas prices would be well yes prices will be low that's right would be what rent will be
1:49
too damn high and blame the union well these are the guests i can't blame the unions but
1:55
i don't know you don't think there's a uh i mean the trucksters truck truckers have a union right and you need trucks
2:01
to to transport uh transport gas right from the right they were transporting gas a couple years ago and it wasn't
2:07
this high i know all i'm saying is they are one variable in the chain of events
2:12
and processes that has to happen from getting put enough fuel but like oil out of the ground all the way to
2:20
you you sticking the nozzle into your car for uh you know for a regular or premium gasoline
2:25
so just pointing that out there but uh you know a lot of people are pointing
2:31
to the fact that uh the the logistics and the supply chain has been has been all kinds of out of whack for the last
2:38
two years because of covid and it really came to light last what
2:44
starting last last summer or last spring right last spring
2:50
the cost of many goods and services was going up matter of fact wood like wood and like a
2:55
lot of these houses lumber lumber of wrong lumber was um was out of this world and some of the window companies i
3:00
guess because maybe i guess because of the lumber but it was also i think there were also other materials that were
3:07
there was a shortage of and either the prices of windows were going up or the wait times were
3:13
drastically longer than they should have been because of the materials so i mean i think a lot of things
3:20
the accessibility of a lot of things within the last two years it's just been a whirlwind of change right and so i
3:26
mean if you're gonna say two years biden wasn't present two years ago there was no talk of of putin putin invading
3:33
ukraine two years ago right like the only the largest and or at least the single largest variable
3:39
that existed the last two years has has been coke right and so it's no secret nobody is denying that the supply chain
3:46
uh has has had shortages of both supply and labor right raw goods and labor uh
3:54
due to the the disruption that cobit has had so it's possible that
3:59
that what people see as rising gas prices due to the biden administration was simply
4:05
the continuation of of a trend that that's existed since the beginning of coke
4:11
i'm not too sure about that one i'm not too sure about that one because the gas price is even during the cold
4:16
all democrats are bad yeah and all democrats cause problems in the country yeah
4:24
point out a time when they didn't no no that's that i'm not i'm not agreeing we're disagreeing i'm just i'm
4:30
just saying uh what about republicans republicans constantly causing any problems yeah
4:36
i agree with them let's say this let's let's take out the word democrat and republicans say politicians
4:43
for the most part there are a few of them that are very good and they try but politicians for the most part especially
4:49
those career politicians are problematic well okay paul what's a career politician well like
4:54
no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no biden define career politicians how many terms does somebody have to serve in order one term if they
5:01
just do one term well the way well let's all right let's let's say it this way if a person let's see a a career a person's
5:07
career can last 20 years until they retire or a little bit more in politics or anything or in any career or anything
5:13
you do army 20 years as a career okay all right that's fair and a lot of companies you do 20 years they give you
5:19
a watch call it a day that's a career true i mean not anymore nobody does pensions like that anymore but but you
5:24
get the point so when you do more than 40 years i'd say you're a career politician
5:30
and okay but that's that's the that's the uh people have been i've heard this a couple of times in the news over the
5:36
last couple several weeks and then it's a quote i think from from a um
5:42
a justice a pretty supreme court justice i don't remember which one uh and and as
5:47
a matter of fact like the details of the case if i recall were pornography and he was basically like well i can't define
5:53
pornography but i know it when i see it right and so that's that is the truth
5:59
that isn't a true code i think if you see pornography and you don't recognize it well
6:10
this is exactly what i'm saying so let me let me finish this so in that supreme court case i don't know exactly the
6:16
details but i think it had something to do with with some kind of item that was originally created supposedly as art and
6:24
then somebody was like well no that's pornography and it should be like i don't remember exactly what the item was but that's that's essentially the what
6:30
the supreme court is trying to to to weigh in on at least in part what what would constitute
6:37
in detail right like here the the the the actual um here's the description of what would
6:43
constitute pornography under this law right and i don't even know how it sounds like an indecency law or
6:49
something like that right well no i actually think it might have been it might have been uh like an actual law
6:54
against pornography but wouldn't that go against the first amendment no pornography was was illegal i think
6:59
for for a long time right but i mean and then they i think they figured out like this is a violation of their first
7:04
amendment that might it might have been that court case i i honestly don't know because this like i said i think it's to do with the art anyway the the broader
7:10
topic is yeah like if if if if something if an example of of a
7:17
category is so hit you in the face obvious that's that's not what's in question
7:24
with regards to description or or characterization just like we talked about a couple weeks about about uh uh
7:30
assault weapons can a law just say assault weapons are illegal what's an assault weapon is it a barrel length is it a fire rate
7:36
is it a caliber right so all these things the same thing with pronouncing the politician 40 years
7:42
yeah that's your career you can't say that's not your career but what is what is the opposite end of the spectrum is it one term is it two terms
7:50
what is the bare minimum that that somebody would say is is now a career politician that's a good question i mean
7:56
i i know that there are politicians for example that some of them have regular jobs even as politicians outside of
8:03
their political venture they're still they have regular jobs in whatever it is that they're doing but i think that
8:08
whoever decides that politics in and of itself is going to be the sole
8:14
um way that they make an income to make a living and they're going to pursue that
8:19
especially for example like senators senators i don't even think there's no term limits for a senator
8:25
that's how people like chuck schumer have been able to i mean they have to continuously run and be re-elected but
8:32
presidents can only be elected twice after two terms that's it you're gone have a nice day thanks for
8:38
the show that's it but senators can just keep going and going and going as long as they keep
8:44
getting reelected they'll just keep going same thing with the congressman so i think when you have people who are
8:50
have been in that world of politics for i don't know if they're what to answer your question if there is an exact
8:56
number of what would define a career politician but i think if once you're in there
9:02
at least 15 years or more than 20 years then i think it's safe to call you a
9:07
career politician if that is the only thing yeah 15 20 years well okay so what about what about
9:13
somebody who and i think this would apply more more to
9:19
officers because uh at least with enlisted there's no there's no maximum as far as i know
9:25
there's not like maximum time that you could spend in a particular rank um and maybe that's changed but they're no
9:31
they're good so but it'll at least you can't be an e6 forever well in the car you can't
9:38
well i mean no but i'm for active dude yeah sure national guard deserves they probably can so i forget let's say we're
9:44
gonna start this 50 year old e4 ones yeah the craziest thing ever yeah i knew
9:49
like and i'm sure he would i think it was and i want to say he was in the reserve unit that was right out of fort hamilton in new york guy was
9:57
no less than 50 years old no younger than 50. and he was in e4
10:03
wow that's the only i knew a 10 year first attempt which is crazy you've never seen that but anyway so i can hear
10:09
first and second time because like there are no slots it's based on
10:14
i don't know anyway but this is guard garden
10:23
regardless right so my point is this let's say somebody joins the military with every intent to do 20 years but
10:30
either either because they're they're fine they're like an adequate soldier they're not a [ __ ] bag they're not gonna
10:35
get kicked out for like as a punitive measure but they they they just don't make a certain cut off and the army is
10:41
like hey like we're downsizing or you know where we've selected x number of people over you and that's it like it's
10:47
just your time to go so they started and they did i don't know it doesn't matter nine minutes but there are measures that you can take
10:54
to cut i think if you were an e7 and above because that's what happened to me i refused to i was doing everything in
11:00
my power to not get promoted to e7 because i knew that e everything up to e6
11:06
is basically brigade level you know core level it's it's not doesn't go above that
11:12
e7 comes from i believe from orders from the pentagon i think it's congress yeah congress has to approve that so
11:19
then once your e7 if they start downstairs in the military you're not even on their radar
11:25
however like to your point though let's say let's say in that time frame
11:31
you've done you've had a couple of infractions you've had a couple of
11:37
article 15s where you and from e6 to e5 you know and then back to e6 and then
11:43
back down e5 because you just didn't learn your lesson and now you've been in the military for a good
11:49
12 13 years but for some reason you because i knew guys like that yeah we all know we i even knew a guy went from
11:55
e5 to e4 and was not promotable for a long time because i think his his thing was he was
12:02
lucky they didn't kick him out right there but um he wasn't even allowed to go back to pldc and at the time was pldc
12:10
um but these guys i think they can easily go you know 15 years
12:17
those guys who just don't want to learn their lessons if they get reno if the army starts to deal with downsizing they're going to
12:23
get caught up in it but if you're in e7 and above you're you know they're welcome right so so here here's here's here's
12:30
the point here's the question you you join the military with every intent of doing 20 years of making it a
12:35
career until you retire but at 15 years whatever you get you get pushed out
12:41
yeah and even if it is punitive let's say you [ __ ] up you does doesn't matter the point is you don't get to do 20 years have you done a career in the
12:47
military was that your career i think so because you did a very large
12:53
amount of your life in that and if it was out of your power if it was
12:59
not of your doing that you had to get you know let go if it was not of your own doing
13:05
or even if it was i think if you spent that much time of your life doing one thing
13:10
that was your career that was your main source of income and that was your main source of focus i believe it was your
13:16
but if you'd only did four years by no means was it your career let's say four years you you let's say it is punitive
13:22
you get kicked out of four years no it wasn't your but what if you wanted it to be your career
13:28
whether you wanted it or not is irrelevant to whether it was or not because does does the question of
13:35
what a career is has have anything to do with um with
13:40
what what path someone has to take to get there in other words let's say somebody goes to medical school you do four years of bachelor's four years of
13:46
medical school three to seven years of a residency and now you're you're in your mid-thirties and you've worked you've
13:51
actually done work as a doctor for three years after after residency so you weren't i
13:57
mean you guys were a doctor from medical school but like you know you're a fully qualified doctor in whatever field
14:03
or whatever specialty uh but you only did it for three years have you done a career in medicine
14:09
that's actually a good let's say i mean obviously the let's say they didn't mess up let's say they're just like that you know this is not for just did it for a few years and
14:16
they said you know what i did all this and i realized i don't want to do this um i think that's good it's the same
14:21
kind of answer meaning i think they did everything they were supposed to do to make it a career and then once they got there they realized
14:27
this is not what i want to do so i wouldn't call that a career i would call it the pursuit of a career
14:34
in which they once they got you know to that point to actually you know become a doctor they realized
14:40
they didn't want to do it so in that all that time and all that you know and academia and then
14:46
once in your residency and then you realize i don't want to do this i think that's the majority of that is the pursuit of a
14:52
career that then you later realized was not for you it's like a lot of things you can study
14:57
to be a farmer and then once you actually have to plan [ __ ] it's like god jesus christ i just did four years of
15:03
swelling so here's on a farm and that this is what it is i don't want to do this here here's here's how it applies
15:08
to really ultimately what we were talking about right it's kind of like well not not to interrupt you my brother has a
15:14
has a um he has a a degree in pharmacy and pharmaceuticals
15:19
he worked in a pharmacy for six months just he quit didn't give him a two-day
15:24
didn't even give him two weeks notice he said nope i gotta go quit on the spot said thanks and left
15:31
okay so i mean it sounds like it sounds like you think you think there's a there's a difference between
15:37
the pursuit of a career well no it sounds it also sounds happy it's also sounds like well yeah so you're saying
15:43
there's an amount of time that you need to do it like a certain percentage of your life or just just next number of
15:48
years but you're also saying it has something to do with with um with sort of how you left
15:55
that particular right so like let's say not exactly after 10 years let's say after three
16:00
years they had a male practice lawsuit and just weren't allowed to practice medicine wasn't up there i mean it was
16:06
up there doing right but it wasn't their choice to start practicing still was it a career
16:12
yes you just said ten years literally three oh three years and autumn and then got a malpractice law student can't practice
16:19
again that they wanted it to be a career it was the pursuit of a career but then they got let go for so it's somewhere
16:25
between three and fifteen is what we've never been down to well no and and here's why i'm asking here's my message
16:31
because some people go into politics like hoping like i don't want to do anything the rest of my life i just want
16:37
to be elected over and over for the next 20 years but i don't know but do you right but but here's here's what these
16:43
things here's where you're you're not really making a good comparison because what if these elected officials
16:49
now whether it's congress or a senator what if they do they do all the things that they have to do to become a senator
16:56
they want to be a career problem that's what they want to do you have what it takes to be a senator
17:07
and in three or four years somebody says hey you did some finagly [ __ ] you know this was a little bit [ __ ] up we
17:13
caught you on this we got sean tape seeing that and we got you this and that or the other then you got to go
17:18
and then they resign so that's the same thing as the other examples you were putting in is this variable in malpractice they do one less
17:24
than one term four years out of a six year of a single six-year term again that's a there's a difference between
17:30
the pursuit of a career and that being an actual career if they didn't if they weren't able
17:36
to complete or fulfill their time in that career then it wasn't a career they didn't dedicate
17:42
the time of their life a big chunk of their life just to that one thing okay well but here's the word
17:49
if a doctor goes through all the process to become a doctor and is a practicing doctor and is
17:55
getting paid for it to be a doctor for let's say a year
18:01
god knows what they do [ __ ] something up they [ __ ] somebody up can only be a doctor for a year get sued from outcry
18:08
they [ __ ] about it they [ __ ] somebody up they they leave a [ __ ] they didn't [ __ ] about it no they didn't [ __ ]
18:13
[Laughter]
18:21
yeah but if they do that and then they say they get sued for malpractice they've only done it for a year now they
18:27
their license is taken away they can no longer practice medicine but now they're miserable they're depressed they fall into this whole
18:34
black hole of depression and they go work in a gas station for 20 years was their career being a doctor or was their
18:40
career working at a gas station no because of course it was the gas station because this is what i'm saying they've dedicated a bit
18:46
of their life at that point that's also not a career that's just a job you've had for 20 years but if you had it for 20 years it has
18:52
become your career if that's your only source of income
18:58
here's the ultimate question right a a career politician scumbag agree or disagree
19:04
correct yeah i agree it's come back 100 okay if you're a career politician for 47 years you haven't done dick and have
19:10
nothing to show for it then your stomach okay so what is the material difference how
19:16
how are you how are you differentiating somebody that intended to do 40 years in in in the
19:23
government versus somebody that that intended to do 40 years they they did
19:29
one term let's say forget it wasn't the scandal i feel like we're in a court of law now they're talking about intent they did one year what one term as a
19:36
senator six years and then the their their their um oh my god their constituents just
19:42
decided they wanted somebody else and they they voted for somebody else the the next time around that person never
19:48
got elected to to any officer that's assuming that the constituents are ignorant to what's
19:53
going on no no i'm second there's no scandal it's just the constituents decide they want someone else because
19:58
someone else says it says better things or whatever whatever happens in six years the point is they did one term
20:05
they intended to do you know whatever six terms or yeah however long right six times it's 36 years um
20:12
they intended to do six terms but they they were only able to do one because they were they were not elected
20:17
that person is not a scumbag just because they weren't able to get elected or is the mentality of like i just want
20:24
to do this for the rest of my life that's what well the scumbag part of it comes in if you're a career politician
20:30
and you have nothing to show for it that means that you went into politics on the
20:35
on the promises that you made promises to your constituents which they voted for and then if you accomplished nothing
20:42
absolutely nothing in that entire let's say you do six terms 36 years and you do absolutely nothing other than collect a
20:49
paycheck and you know the nice pretty words to say but yet do nothing for your
20:55
constituents then yeah you're a scumbag okay so two things one i don't remember if we said at the beginning that we were
21:01
going to talk about gas prices i think we did we started the very first century
21:06
and yeah and then we ended up here i promise senators i promise we'll get we'll get back to gas prices we will
21:12
okay but we need to we need to establish a baseline for uh for how to evaluate
21:18
different variables in what's contributed to gas prices that's ultimately working
21:24
career politicians increasing gas prices there we go that's it it's that simple
21:29
and fun and i wish i wish enough people did not think it was that simple
21:35
i wish that was the case right there's a little bit more more nuance right of course there is it's just like there's
21:40
there's so many variables that go into how many people are killed every year by guns
21:45
just like how many there's so many variables that go into how many people people aren't killed by guns people are killed by other people that have guns
21:52
guns don't kill people guns can't pull their own triggers do both kill them no bullets are just kind of there like so
21:58
cause of death right um you know like if if
22:03
somebody dies right and there needs to be an autopsy and the coroner needs to say like what is it that killed them that
22:09
coroner's gonna right human being he's gonna say gunshot wound that's right so it's like when they killed him
22:16
but somebody who pulled it it was the person pulling the trigger they didn't write that no i don't think any i i they i would know that there's a single
22:23
autopsy report that has said human being death by human being unless it's like strangulation
22:29
you're misconstruing the whole thing not at all i'm asking what a cause of death is cause of death
22:34
is incidentally 100 of people die of cardiac arrest meaning your heart stops
22:40
but what i'm saying to you is cause of death is the gunshot wound but somebody is going to be accused of pulling the
22:46
trigger to cause the gunshot no i the wound i mean i understand but but the question two different things the
22:52
question yeah so when somebody says what killed x person heart attack poison
22:58
old age whatever child is finally one of the only other things that are going to say
23:04
well who who pulled the trigger same as his stance well
23:10
but you have to because you're gonna say the gun didn't poison me poisoning wasn't gonna be like oh no it could be
23:15
food who put the poison in there or were they allergic to the food and they didn't talk about actual poison like like rat poison somebody put it in there
23:22
they died of poisoning they're right who did so somebody goes what killed it's never ever gonna be now who killed
23:30
whatever that's another story well nobody killed him his natural causes oh well somebody shot him dominic shot him
23:35
i get i get that but don't don't don't get all all you know second amendment crazy insensitive
23:42
when when i say what kill the number of people that died from gunshots or from homicides due to
23:48
firearms um that's the thing that killed them is is the the bullet leaving the
23:54
firearm and entering their body that is what killed okay what killed them was the president pulling the trigger again you're you're not
24:02
looking at what is the reality the reality is the the the you folks listening out there if you
24:08
agree or disagree like comments like comment share subscribe sponsor us and buy our merch okay so
24:16
mostly comment on this on this part unless you want to buy our gun merch um
24:21
some gun merch i don't know okay anyway we'll have merch to sell again don't
24:28
don't don't get me wrong right i mean like if somebody who listens to this two minute clips and below i'm going to hear who's getting taken out i have so many
24:33
guns i have too many guns okay that's there's no such thing as too many of them it is if i if if they all accomplish
24:39
this the same use just like there's too many cars okay you're right the right job not all guns
24:45
serve the same person you're absolutely right so i have i have just a tad over the right number of guns for for the
24:50
right purposes anyway bottom line is i said people who died who died from
24:56
from gunshots you said well noes the people that kill them i don't know i don't think a human being is sticking
25:01
their finger in into into into center mass i don't think the finger can have enough force
25:06
to enter center mass encounter right so bottom line we've gotten off track because of because of your gas prices
25:12
it's come back soon well no hold on before that before um oh we were talking about variables right
25:18
and i was talking about how how there's so many variables that you know who wants is into the whole yeah that's right just like that yes just just like
25:25
anything there's there's um you know the variables of how many people die from motor vehicle accidents
25:30
every year or whatever right the point is nothing is is as simple as as queer politicians but it is important
25:36
to identify uh not variables but like waze criteria
25:42
that we're going to evaluate ultimately the root causes of of certain problems
25:49
or the the the contribution of let's say career politicians to certain causes so the
25:55
next question that i was going to ask and i promise we're going to get back to gas prices is um
26:00
what does accomplishing nothing as a politician mean what is it what does it really mean did you pass a bill did you
26:07
pass a law i
26:12
i think it's impossible to leave even a two-year term as a representative
26:19
without having passed the bill but bills are voted on all the time like so when you
26:25
vote a bill and there's the more yes is there no's everyone that voted yes has in effect passed the bill i don't think
26:32
baida never did that i don't think biden even accomplished that again it's that's it's impossible
26:38
like it is impossible you can faction it no again it's you're you're not thinking of this just like um
26:46
i don't know an example like if you've ever driven a car can you say can you say like oh yeah
26:53
there there's a person oh that person has never made a left turn
26:59
it is it's impossible you're driving yeah exactly if you were in congress
27:04
you're gonna be unless he didn't vote for what did he i don't even know how many times he did let's say six doesn't matter unless he didn't vote
27:12
at all or he always voted voted on somebody else's bill or something is that what we do okay no no so that's okay so that
27:18
this is it's a very important detail most i think the majority of of congress
27:25
people senders and representatives
27:30
most many of them will not have the opportunity to sponsor a bill right because the the way the way
27:37
you know like their bills they'll have like two people's names on them right so maybe they're the original ones that
27:42
thought of the idea not only thought of the idea because everybody thinks of ideas all the time
27:47
uh but but two people that were able to get enough support from their side and the other side to get some agreement going
27:55
and then they brought it to to the floor for a vote for for the entire body right
28:01
i don't know how many people get get that that that opportunity but whether or not somebody has passed a bill
28:08
by virtue of voting yes and they're part of the group that voted yes is almost impossible again unless it's
28:16
maybe a two-year term and they're they're a democrat and republicans are in power and all the
28:22
democrats vote no on every single bill and you only get that one two year term and you're done okay well then you've
28:28
then in reality that person is not accomplishing it then you could say that but if you've been part of a group that has voted yes
28:34
and that bill gets passed because of the yeses you've passed the bill so you keep it's it's just unrealistic
28:41
it is ignoring reality on the ground to say that somebody has
28:46
accomplished nothing if they've been able to pass a bill now that's different than sponsoring a bill that's different than
28:53
than uh a particular bill or law or or um
28:59
policy because not all no bills are like usc code right some bills
29:04
are just kind of like budget or whatever bottom line is um
29:10
it's a different thing to say all together hey some in all the time somebody has been in office
29:15
none of their bills have made a difference or none of their bills have have done something positive which again would be
29:22
statistically it's just not not realistic right so people talk about biden's biden being
29:28
part of the early 90s prime bill right which
29:34
you know on a bipartisan basis many people today would say was a disaster why because it puts
29:41
so many people in jail for minor minor infractions right and it left
29:46
people with single single parent households which have societal impacts and you know there's there's only one one
29:52
parental figure i think the single-parent household conversation goes a lot deeper than what vitamins
29:58
but but to to to a certain extent possibly a a great extent maybe not a majority but
30:05
like it is a large part of it the criminal criminal justice system did put people in jail who otherwise might have
30:10
been part of a two-parent household right as an example
30:16
but but in the 90s you had you had republicans for it you were democrats for it you had
30:23
uh you had you had people prominent people in the black community for it why because there's
30:29
a lot of crime happens in black communities right that's that's something that's that's black and white
30:35
on paper not to use that no a lot of crime happens in all communities no i i know but typically
30:42
there's there's uh there's a higher incidence of crime in lower socioeconomic communities and many
30:49
socio economic community socioeconomic communities are black right a lot of hispanic and you know right or
30:56
minorities some other minor so uh where am i going with this well i don't like that word mine i hate i've always
31:02
hated minority i've always hated when people refer to blackstone or anybody non-white as a minority because minority
31:09
it's just a diminutive diminutive thing you know certainly people say people are colored that's yes
31:15
it's like meaning it just means lesser than and i don't ever think of myself or anybody black you know
31:22
anybody you know it doesn't matter what [ __ ] race they are to call somebody a minority kind of lessens who they are
31:27
greece is a certain country just like gender of course it is but i mean you know you just agreed
31:33
gender is a social conclusion anything you say you're right everything everything he says he's
31:39
correct even if he's being sarcastic i'm not surprised i asked you just said no that's right and then so i'm like i'm
31:45
just asking okay where am i going with this right so so joe biden passed the the the joe biden was part of a group
31:51
that passed the the the the early 90s criminal i think 92 if i recall um and
31:56
he wrote i recall seven but if i understand correctly um so in retrospect you could say wow that
32:03
that was bad but what about um or let's let's bring this back in time by
32:10
the late 90s right crime had decreased and people were still believed that the 90s crime bill was a good thing because
32:17
crime decreased though holy [ __ ] it worked right but those people only saw the the very
32:23
surface of it they didn't really see the the the meat and potatoes you're right but
32:28
still i think bar by and large in the late 90s it's it's part of the reason
32:33
why um giuliani was was so popular in new york because he was tough on crime as part of
32:39
the the early to mid 90s police uh focus on on broken windows policing
32:46
was nationwide right because somebody wrote a book and that guy ended up julianna was famous because he was also going after the mob in new york
32:52
everything mob controlled okay there were many things that made him popular but one of the things was was his his stance on crime so again but back to
33:00
late 90s joe biden was still still senator everybody many men the majority of people thought the crime bill was a good
33:06
thing so could somebody in the 90s have said because he's a politician
33:13
nothing he's no bill he's ever passed has had a positive impact
33:18
you're still saying no i know but you you you couldn't they could have said it back then yeah they could have said you
33:24
know people can say anything but what i'm saying is would it be really realistic to say to somebody at the time and we we should probably
33:30
pick a different politician uh with with with a different with a different track record i think to make
33:35
it easier right but it's just easier to take biden because i think he's got the longest he's his career has lasted
33:41
longer than all of them is longer than pelosi is longer than schumer's and there are no other career
33:46
politicians that have been in there longer than them you can't name any republicans you can't name any old-ass republicans that have
33:54
been there for a [ __ ] long time name one come on just try it longer than biden no i don't i don't know i'm just
34:01
saying long ass time oh of course the majority of them i'd say mitch mcconnell not a great example that comes to mind
34:07
he's he's older than than i think betty white he's older than dead he might have been older than betty white i don't know
34:13
maybe that's this looks like what's that name of that turtle that turtle um leonardo
34:19
[Laughter]
34:27
oh when dana carvey did the turtle character when that movie that's who mitch mcconnell looks he looks like a turtle
34:32
he's like a spy or something yeah anyway okay tweeting again
34:38
all i'm saying is in terms of what late 90s regarding the joe bill uh the job
34:44
the uh the crime bill if somebody had said joe biden has never done anything positive through his
34:51
through his service in the senate for society it would be it would be a
34:56
factually incorrect statement because the vast majority of people would say in the 90s the crime bill lowered crime and
35:02
therefore was a good thing and so you could at least say just like when people say oh
35:07
take fine take somebody you like trump if somebody says to you trump never did a single
35:12
good thing and you turned around said really you can't think of can't think of one
35:18
just what just one right like it would it's not realistic even trump
35:24
who i can name several different things so there was one no no no but but if you
35:29
sing to somebody that that says he's all that right it's just it's stupid it is it's not realistic so so again i want to
35:36
be we should be we should be critical of our politicians whether you like them or not that's right but we shouldn't be so
35:42
critical that we talk in language that just doesn't reflect history or or or objectivity right i
35:49
think what you're trying to say is we shouldn't speak about it just because it fits the narrative that it's convenient
35:54
for us we either have to say what it was or say it like it is whether we like it but it also has to be it also has to be
36:00
real right so let's be realized it has to be fashionable has never done anything good whether we like
36:05
whether we like the politician or not if they did something that was positive we have to bring it up and if they did something that we don't like we'll also
36:11
bring sure and whether we like them and the reality is even even career politicians or not every
36:18
politician even even if they were disgraced even um
36:23
i can't think of his name uh oh my god
36:30
oh um nixon even nixon tricky dick even nixon right like he was disgraced out of
36:35
office watergate was just horrible it was it undermined democracy all these things are true even even he
36:42
uh you know i think he ran on on a platform getting us out of vietnam and
36:47
ultimately i think i'm not mistaken we did leave vietnam in his watch now incidentally really quick
36:53
story about nixon that i that i heard or read is that uh in 1969 i think he was already running for
37:00
the 1970 election he was part of a delegation that was sent to vietnam who nixon nixon is part of a delegation that
37:07
was sent to vietnam to try to negotiate a ceasefire or peace peace or whatever
37:12
right and and this there's there's evidence of this as far as i know it's true uh he
37:19
actually he actually attempted to undermine that process like to keep the work going
37:25
because he knew where i guess he hoped he was going to get elected and he wanted the war to end on his watch so this [ __ ]
37:33
prolonged a war where 50 000 u.s u.s service members died
37:38
right essentially for his own purposes like that's that's [ __ ] wrong even [ __ ]
37:44
nixon you could probably point to something and say you know if you look deep enough you'd be like okay they did
37:49
one one thing one thing good and so it would be it's it's it's not fair and it's ignorant to say you did nothing
37:56
nobody should ever talk in that life but how how many wrongs make a right like how much
38:01
that doesn't redeem them right it doesn't mean you don't you can't do if you make one mistake and that mistake
38:07
has has a very very strong impact even if it's one thing and then you do 20 of the things that are great it
38:14
doesn't redeem it and it doesn't make up for it i'm saying is let's let's be and you can accurately
38:20
with our language right no 100 and i agree completely but again you can't make as a career
38:26
politician if you make 40 years worth of [ __ ] mistakes and bad decisions if you did one good
38:31
thing that had a positive impact does it make all those wrongs right because you did one good thing you can't erase it
38:38
what it is i agree right but you know people shouldn't say well he's never done anything good um so i see what you're
38:45
getting right it was just you know the semantics of the whole example so here's here's another problem and so by
38:51
the way i mean 100 percent there should be term limits no questions yes we need to change the constitution right
38:57
whatever that number is representatives senators supreme court
39:03
i agree with term limits however i also think that for example i don't know that even two terms as a president
39:11
is enough time all right let me rephrase that i think we should redefine
39:17
the number of years a term is defined by like if a presidential term is four years right
39:25
is that four years enough time for you to actually get things done because by the time you get into office and then
39:31
you're doing x y and z i mean i don't think four years enough time maybe they should make a presidential term five
39:36
years i mean i'm just throwing out numbers here but that's what i'm saying so like you have to give the president enough
39:42
time to get [ __ ] what the right number is can be up for debate two two or three two two uh two or three two year terms
39:48
for representatives two maybe three tops probably two for senders if it's six years right maybe
39:55
all of this by the way would require constitutional amendments which are extremely difficult to do right and that's why
40:03
many people run on platforms for for congress to implement term limits they
40:08
don't it doesn't happen because there's the there's just not enough traction to get a constitutional amendment but how
40:13
many how many politicians do you think abuse the fact that it's so hard to get that amended they'll just ride that out
40:19
as much as they can if you can't get a term limit placed and you know put in place as far as like how
40:24
long you can be in office um don't you i mean there has to be a certain aspect of being a career
40:30
politician that they use it to their advantage to just kind of right that they keep getting the fact that they keep keep running right but
40:37
like right and plus and it's as far as the lobbyists are concerned it's always in their best interest to have these people in office
40:44
because if the lobbyists have them and when i say in their pocket i don't mean that all people in politics are corrupt
40:50
but let's be let's face facts a lot of these lobbyists do are in the pockets of a lot of these
40:55
politicians in some way shape or form the pockets are in the the politicians or the pockets of
41:01
lobbies no the lobbyists are paying these politicians x amount of dollars for everything so the politicians are in
41:07
the pockets of lobbyists that's what that means i'm in your pocket you control me
41:15
okay you get it cause you're feeding me you get it so but it's so it's in the lobby's best interest to have
41:22
you know these these career politicians in office as well as they can get more [ __ ] done there's so much nuance right so
41:29
do do lobbyists do lobby groups
41:34
fund campaigns yes but once somebody is in right it's it's a question of whether or not that that individual
41:41
votes a certain way that that's that's beneficial to the lobby group but it's also a matter of like passing
41:47
laws or passing regulations and [ __ ] like that that's what the lobbyists are more interesting i know but the way the
41:52
mechanism by by which they control politicians is they're gonna say okay we're just not gonna
41:58
remember we gave you three million dollars we're not gonna give you three million dollars next time and maybe it's the three million that makes the
42:03
difference between you getting elected again right but once they're in once they're in
42:09
it's it let me first whoever is in a particular seat as long as they're voting the way
42:15
the lobby group wants so even if even if there was a one-term limit for every
42:20
single position and and every two years for example the representative would change out of a
42:25
particular district lobbyist doesn't care who it is it doesn't they don't care if that person has been 100 years or two years if you're voting the way
42:31
that i want that's that's that's what we care about and ultimately they can control that for somebody new or somebody old by by by funding at least
42:39
in part we have yet to touch on these gas prices okay
42:44
we're almost we're almost 45 minutes in i think we've we've uh
42:50
we've attempted to to uh determine criteria for
42:56
i think what we determine is that both charlie and i are going to turn into career politicians uh no because because i for example i'm
43:04
going to implement term limits where nobody else in the history of congress has been able to eye single-handedly but
43:10
if i don't i'm going to be called a [ __ ] bag by some podcaster in 10 years this [ __ ] you know he came into
43:17
office he couldn't promise those terms yeah he couldn't get a tournament into it kind of should be i can't get a term unlimited
43:23
do you know how difficult it is to pass an amendment it's on purpose it's designed on purpose
43:29
to to be difficult right you need i don't know i think it's like i think it's a super majority in in every
43:35
uh in both the the house and the senate and then you need a super majority via
43:40
if i'm not mistaken public referendum in every state so 67 of both houses and 67 percent of every
43:48
person in every state has to has to vote both that way that's extremely difficult but i i don't
43:54
understand how that's extremely difficult they can vote for a president but they can't vote for of something that makes more sense for the country
44:02
i i'm actually curious i am curious how many bills have been proposed to i don't
44:07
know i think it's actually simpler than it than it is but they've made they've made the process difficult
44:13
purposely to not have to do it well so again this is something that that needs some
44:18
research right how many how many uh proposals for for term limit
44:25
term limit amendments have been proposed how many have been voted on uh
44:30
so okay another example and maybe it's it's it is more controversial and it's less
44:37
i think less people agree than tournaments i think you ask somebody on the street everybody's going to say yeah we should have to i don't think anybody
44:43
would ever say no we shouldn't have term limits imagine like somebody actually said this i mean when you ask somebody on the street you also have to think you
44:49
know am i asking the wrong person i'm asking the right person because a lot of people has never publicly said in the
44:55
woo no we don't know but what i'm my what i'm saying is that you can ask a lot of people a lot of different
45:00
questions but sometimes you got to stop and look who you're asking no for sure but but when when
45:07
close to 100 if not 100 of people would answer yes to this question like it doesn't matter who who it is that was
45:13
like okay there's something there but here's another amendment and i think it was i think it passed through through
45:19
through congress in i want to say the 70s something called the equal rights amendment you know this
45:24
yeah right okay so the hebrew words amendment basically is is has to do with with uh
45:30
what i think at the time it might have been probably considered sex i don't know that would be called gender right the point is
45:35
equal treatment of of women and so many states ratified
45:41
this this amendment um i think as a matter of fact i'm almost positive recently there was a ratification of
45:46
that amendment as well like within the last 10 years the fact is this amendment has been ready to
45:54
to be enacted if you will it's there it's ready it's passed through through congress and it's passed through most
46:00
states but not enough states and it's and it's it and it's just sitting there
46:06
so again it is different because i think less people would agree that we should have the equal rights amendment
46:13
but that's how difficult it is to pass an amendment that it's taken 30 years just to get one done even though the
46:20
majority of states have now i think agreed or not majority but maybe not super majority because i think you need
46:26
67 of them and whatever that is 30 something well for out of 50 67 it's like
46:32
38 or 30 right and they're like 32 or some [ __ ] like that right so that's how difficult it is and
46:38
it's and it's on purpose right so but again it's it's it's it is a worthwhile uh exercise to see how many times it's
46:45
been proposed how many times it's it's been voted on but part of the problem is is probably
46:52
agreeing on what those a what those term looks would be just in general right like one two terms as
46:59
congressmen two terms of center whatever but also i would i would bet my life that in
47:04
those conversations somebody is like well as long as we're talking about that let's also look at whether or not
47:09
senator should be six years president should be four years uh represented should be two years while we're looking
47:14
at that and then the conversation we'll know it should be eight it should be two like that's probably what box it down
47:21
i guarantee you because if they're going to look at term limits for one thing they're going to look at the trim limits for every single position in politics
47:27
but there is a difference between term limits and the length of the term well that's what i was getting at it's like a
47:33
term for a president is four years but who determines why can't that change a term could be five years for years it
47:39
did change there was no terminal for presidential uh but don't get into don't get into the deep semantics what i'm
47:45
saying is right now it determines for four pr four years it could but the determination of that goes into
47:52
conversation and then it could take time to change that but i'm saying if we look at because back then let's let's go back
47:58
to what you were going to say it was determined back in the 17 whatever 18 uh
48:04
what the 1950s okay oh oh i'm sorry hold on sorry
48:10
the length of the turn the length the length is when the constitution is in the constitution
48:15
all right so but that was back then so i again back
48:21
then the union was a lot smaller we weren't 50 states deep we weren't our population wasn't as big
48:27
the level of of problems we we have now is is you know it doesn't even compare
48:33
to the like they weren't small problems back then but comparatively till for
48:38
today it's just nine days so you think is four years even enough time
48:44
to get things done but then again is six years too long or is three years not
48:49
enough or it's five years too long it's six years too long these are all the conversations that we have one day
48:55
is enough if it's everything if it no no no what did you say well how did you phrase it you said
49:01
to to get something done or i don't i don't know but like it's not to get everything hold
49:07
on but nobody's going to get 100 but because we all know but we're not looking for 100 we already understand
49:12
that it's not it's never no president has ever gotten their a hundred percent of their agenda
49:18
done and actually accomplished it but then why is that is it because they don't have enough time
49:23
no it's because of the system exactly which it's a lot more than just term limits and or term lengths right so
49:30
then we speak these things these things have to be discussed because then you have to figure out is
49:35
four years enough or not enough should we lengthen it or should we keep it as it is and then the same conversation
49:40
goes trickles down the lane senator
49:45
it's not like let's say let's say somebody's let's say 100 of the country was on board with
49:51
whatever changes they were going to make it doesn't matter right they're going to be present five years seven to four
49:56
years representative sixty it didn't matter in fact just change change the numbers all around
50:01
unless you have fundamental uh enhancements or improvements to other
50:07
aspects of the system the term length and the term limit is meaningless until you have
50:13
ranked choice voting until you have a a a
50:19
functioning multi-party system and not just a multi-party system in name only and they and a two-party system in in in
50:27
i think that's one of the biggest problems too is that we only have a two-party system and that is just it's ridiculous you could only be
50:33
there's no room for nuance in in if you have two choices do you want
50:40
steak or fish i hate both that's it take one you gotta pick one because then you well you don't eat
50:46
you don't like steak you don't like fish whether you starve yeah exactly you know eat dirt that's what's left
50:53
eat dirt oh you want the uh or you want the uh well actually hold on we have to we have to be politically correct we
50:59
have three choices when it comes to food we can't forget the vegans you know you eat steak you want fish or you want a
51:05
plate of carrots boiled carrots even better you want you want steak you want chicken or are you non-binary
51:15
[Laughter] a plate of non-binary food
51:22
[Laughter] what would that even look like my steak identifies as a carrot it would
51:29
be so you know it doesn't get a steak you cut it into into into carrot carrot
51:35
carrot shapes and then you uh you know you boil it like you would do with carrot and a baked potato so that it gets all
51:42
that orangey color well no the the potato identifies as uh the salmon is it turnip was it
51:48
salmon that's right because it's got skin you can you can fry it on the skin side oh my god we were talking about gas
51:54
prices ladies and gentlemen we will i promise we'll get to gas prices okay uh but right now we're solving we're
52:00
solving other things okay solve it those problems with non-binary chicken so okay
52:06
anyway top three things that that'll fix the system uh ranked choice voting no humans
52:11
in redistricting involved ever again just just computers that can be audited um this this this wouldn't be in the top
52:20
i don't know about that computer this this wouldn't be in the top three but um but certainly in in the top 15 it
52:27
would make the list is um how do i put this
52:32
personal auditing of your of your vote what do i mean by that
52:38
you walk into into you you go somewhere to vote right typically it's a school i don't know for
52:43
me it's always church or school yeah i've never wrote it in church i didn't know you could do that anyway so i've gone to school i voted west
52:50
my place of voting church right in the corner mine was public elementary school anyway so you go
52:56
somewhere to vote it doesn't matter if you're in a state that requires id or not it doesn't matter if you're in a state
53:02
and actually i don't even know if there's states that are like this doesn't matter if you just have a paper ballot and nothing electronic doesn't
53:09
matter if you have a scantron state where you're scantron which i believe new york and and north carolina are like
53:14
that rich scantron and then you you scan it in yeah you gotta put the little piece
53:20
the machine she needs the piece of paper and the screen says your vote has been counted yeah how the [ __ ] do i know that
53:26
just because the screen told me because of the end the project just because the screen told me right because the screen tells me
53:32
and so there there are risks with what what what i'll propose which is wasn't that the whole issue with the
53:38
with the with the um what is that called what was the dominion the dominion computer yeah that was uh because they were a company
53:44
that was doing both because they were able to manipulate the votes within the system i
53:49
don't know enough about the details supposedly i don't know i don't know if there's still a lawsuit bottom line is as an individual
53:57
i i don't know now that could could codes you know some states
54:02
allow the digital but then require a a by hand counting
54:08
i still don't know as an individual you still don't know and you still go and then you gotta trust the people counting
54:13
the votes right okay so doing the right human error or live studios there needs to be a ac it would
54:20
essentially be a website right because we're in 2022 it would be a website that you can go to or or maybe we can make it
54:26
more secure but whatever at a minimum it would be some sort of repository where either go physically
54:32
but again at the end of the day would still have to be digital either you can access it to a website where you go to a government building in dc and you look
54:39
through a little peephole and and you you say uh who who was my vote counted for in you know two thousand and two
54:47
thousand for president and then it showed you oh yeah that was that was an an interesting question people vote but
54:53
how do we really know that our vote until we can audit it and so it might here's how i envisioned right
54:58
when you you know there's transparency in the audit that's the thing well not just some would say there is
55:04
transparency until an individual could audit their own vote till we get to that level of transparency that's what i'm saying
55:11
that's who can we call right now and say hey my name is such and such and uh i want to know if my vote counted if you
55:18
can tell me who i voted for then i'll then i'll be okay yeah they're just it doesn't exist doesn't matter so here's how it would work in my
55:24
mind right there's a website uh you you get let me be careful when i say this you
55:31
already get a unique number for your ballot it's a serial number and there's a barcode okay
55:38
so you save that that's yours that's assigned to you personally and you go to the website you enter the
55:43
code or you scan your barcode and anonymously there's no name it's just
55:48
that the it wouldn't even be displayed publicly like you have to enter it yourself
55:54
right you you enter it yourself and it tells you who you voted for on that on that
55:59
particular ballot now are the risks absolutely could the website be hacked yeah
56:04
um but currently voting records are stored electronically they're anonymous they're
56:10
they're um they're anonymous right uh and although i don't know if somebody could actually
56:16
put in a foia request to see how somebody voted i don't i don't know bottom line is for the most
56:22
part it's it's anonymous but they're stored electronically so those same websites in that website
56:28
those databases those servers exist now the federal government controls them they could just as easily be hacked as
56:35
whatever additional server needs to be set up or or sort of a view via website
56:41
into that server to to to use this uh a personal audit system well i mean isn't
56:46
that how they were they were that was part of the whole case with dominion seeing they were hacked because
56:51
the system the programming was meant to alter the voting patterns and i think to the
56:57
same uh to that same um we were just talking about at auditing
57:04
because there doesn't exist a way to audit our own there's no person or nothing that we could go to or call that
57:10
say hey my name is dominic i'd like to know if my vote counted could you tell me who i voted for and my thing
57:17
because it doesn't exist then there is real really no way that anybody is going to ever know
57:23
especially if it's digital because since it can be hacked and it's supposed to be anonymous if any if people could do that
57:29
they would well i mean if if we could audit our own uh votes then i'd sincerely believe there would
57:35
be no more voter fraud well no no because it's it's they're they're different
57:41
so they could they couldn't alter your vote well so hold on uh in in consulting we would call this
57:47
use cases there's there's you could call them scenarios there are multiple scenarios that result in voter
57:53
fraud there is there is your vote was counted incorrectly right you voted
57:59
for joe biden it actually it was entered for donald trump but that's not all
58:05
yeah it's an example that's an example let's say dominick leon had done that okay um
58:10
whatever anyway so we we don't know that we don't know that how do we know i don't know if a good lie actually doesn't i have no
58:17
[ __ ] way of validating this okay anyway so but that's not the only a vote
58:22
counted incorrectly is not the the only way uh is not the only example of voter fraud voter fraud occurs all the time
58:30
and there are legal prosecutions for voter fraud the most common one is you move you think you can still vote in
58:37
your in your old district but you vote in your new district either unregistered or actually registered in both some
58:43
people actually vote in their old one and their new one for some reason thinking they could do that no you don't get it then they have a case a couple
58:49
cases in arizona where people voted in three different districts because they had an issue trying to keep
58:54
track of it and they but they caught them they actually they caught him all right so you you voting multiple districts
59:00
um or voting in in the or using
59:05
there's uh okay another example would be
59:11
a a district has 100 registered um
59:16
i guess the simplest way of putting it is a dead person's social security number being used to register to vote
59:23
and enter a vote that's another one so it's not it's not yeah that's usually used by illegal
59:29
immigrants coming in i by anyone who wants to sway a vote a
59:35
particular way so now there's two votes that's true so so the first in the first example uh dominick
59:41
leon his vote is voted correctly but it's still one vote in the other example there's multiple
59:47
votes where there should only be one but it's due to human error or human stupidity right or intentional
59:53
the third example there's it ends up in multiple votes for a dead person dead person's vote
59:59
being counted and a living person's vote being counted um and then there's i think there's one more use case but
1:00:05
anyway the point is it's not just votes being incorrect so there would be voter fraud
1:00:11
but this would be significantly limited the other thing it would limit would be would be people saying that donald trump
1:00:17
was actually elected president and not joe biden
1:00:22
people could go anybody who's like oh you know what i think my vote vote was uh was fraudulently
1:00:28
manipulated okay go to this website check that out but you voted for joe trump right joe trump
1:00:34
voted for donald trump so that same to that same uh topic as far as that we don't have the power to audit our own
1:00:41
votes we don't we don't so how do we how does then a person prove they say
1:00:48
biden got 80 million votes and be like how is this possible well i mean unless we're gonna get to a point
1:00:55
where we can audit our own votes people are going to be incredulous of it but there's really no way
1:01:01
of us as individuals to as an individual prove whether that is incorrect or correct that's right we have to rely on
1:01:09
the investigations and the audits and the recounts at the end of the day even so personal audit is is important
1:01:16
it doesn't solve the problem why because even if the audit existed last year
1:01:22
right last third i guess november 2020 and every trump voter
1:01:28
who said my vote was counted for joe biden truly believes that actually went to this website
1:01:34
was shown no you're trump they there would still be people that would say yeah fine so all of the legitimate votes
1:01:41
were counted correctly but now there were votes that that shouldn't even have existed male
1:01:46
imbalance and all that stuff yeah for dead it really would be for dead people but again
1:01:51
even now even now it it's a a ballot has to be tied to
1:01:59
a person well uh uh i was going to say citizen but in places
1:02:04
that uh that now non-citizens i think new york now okay uh it has to be tied to a
1:02:10
a identification number typically social security number um i don't know enough about this i would
1:02:16
assume those those people who are registered who are not citizens have some kind of number probably not social security number some kind of a debt
1:02:23
has to be a person you have to be you have to be living
1:02:28
um and you have to be registered in the appropriate in the appropriate area
1:02:33
people who are alleging voter fraud would have to find a ballot that was tied
1:02:38
to a dead person to a person who who voted outside of their their their actual residency
1:02:45
district in which case those people will get prosecuted um or or they'd have to find balance and
1:02:52
that's happened yeah and they've all been prosecuted right or many of them have been prosecuted um which is again it's the most common
1:02:58
example of voter fraud or they'd have to find a ballot that is tied to a living
1:03:05
a living person uh but but whose vote was counted incorrectly that's what would have to be
1:03:11
found so yeah we can't individually audit now but all of these records are are public
1:03:18
and so there i don't there's just very few examples outside
1:03:23
of the incorrect district there's few just much fewer examples dead people voting
1:03:29
and where they're discovered that they get thrown out and as a matter of fact even now that's another thing
1:03:35
that that's kind of weird like are you 10 like people who believe joe biden is not president are you telling
1:03:41
me you think there are votes that are that are officially counted that were not thrown out for dead people
1:03:48
organizations can't verify that of course it's verified of course they can't secure the number oh person disease
1:03:54
done that example is out it's only the last one that would be solved by individual audit
1:03:59
but even now because of the number of eyes that have looked at all the ballots
1:04:06
it's it's really unlikely this conspiracies and i don't mean like
1:04:12
conspiracy theories i mean like like people working together to accomplish something
1:04:18
that is that is uh nefarious before you say that check your closet i think there's a tin
1:04:24
foil hat in there somewhere i'm sure you do i'm not i'm not heirs bro okay
1:04:29
so shout out to the pachinskis i hope you're doing well it's it's a grebinsky actually it's sorry i
1:04:36
call them pachimski anyway we just put his name on blast he's gonna be so pissed he's like what do you mean
1:04:43
you put my name into the world shout out to eris you weren't broke be like
1:04:48
uh p.s he lives at nah it's like i'm just joking they already know where you live okay so he makes all the tinfoil
1:04:55
hats for all the residents from charlotte so conspiracies meaning people acting together to to to
1:05:02
achieve like a nefarious or a legal purpose the more hands that are involved
1:05:07
the more likely it is to become public knowledge like it's incredibly difficult
1:05:14
to pull off a conspiracy that requires even hundreds of people let alone than
1:05:20
thousands of people that would be required because there's i think there's thousands of people involved in the
1:05:25
ballot counting process across the country every election thousands if not
1:05:30
tens of thousands you're telling me all of them or ninety nine point nine percent ninety percent
1:05:36
of them were were involved in in rigging an election it's it's um no not it's unlikely it's
1:05:43
all of course highlighted to all of them right so so
1:05:48
there was people put in strategic positions to be able to get because it's already been shown it's already been proven
1:05:54
people were put into strategic positions to actually get away with some nefarious voting
1:06:00
fraud right what's the use case what's the center which which one we talked about
1:06:06
people not allowing people not allowing the the um i forgot what they're called that the people from the um they're uh they're
1:06:13
allowed to watch the house poll watchers and you know there's
1:06:19
incidents that we see on the news oh hold on back up poll watchers what poll watchers what what does that have that's
1:06:24
not one of these use cases i'm talking about use cases that result in fraud i'm not talking about like well the lady
1:06:30
that was pulling the the she had to get all these people out of the office so she could pull the mail-in ballots that were they can
1:06:35
fill and they called them they she pulled them out in front of a table yeah and then stayed after the place was supposedly closed and then she was
1:06:42
filled up by hand a bunch of them by her
1:06:47
but even if they didn't get well i don't want to say even if they didn't get caught even if there wasn't a witness what i'm saying is that would have
1:06:53
resulted in ballots tied to which people to which people if it's if they're not
1:07:00
tied to a living person or even a dead person yeah they're meaningless bad it's just pieces of paper that somebody's
1:07:05
filling out right it's it's not that would not result in one of these again unless it was a dead person but again
1:07:10
you i i i get what you're saying right so so a robot's not voting it has to be tied
1:07:16
to a registered voter registered perspective in that district and so so somebody's filling it out another way
1:07:22
they know it is for example if your district only has a hundred registered voters your district cannot have more
1:07:28
than a hundred votes well so at the moment that's it let's be specific if you have 100 voters oh sorry if you have
1:07:35
a hundred registered voters prior to election day and if your district doesn't allow
1:07:40
same-day voter registration right then yeah you can't have more than 100 but if it allows same-day then yeah but
1:07:48
that person needs to be alive that person needs to be a resident of the district um
1:07:54
and they need to be a person you need to prove that they're a person by social security they need to be like a recognized
1:08:01
government recognized person right living ladies and gentlemen after one hour whoa look at that
1:08:07
is calling it um i'm gonna call it because we never got to the gas price fine uh
1:08:14
i i don't want to break a promise i don't want to break a promise uh gas prices are too high they don't 100 have
1:08:19
to have to are caused by by joe biden they're also not 100 caused caused by putin uh the the
1:08:27
both both sets of people are wrong i'm about to describe one is this is is the the administration and people who defend
1:08:32
the administration stance which is that the gas companies right now have something like 9 000 leases of land
1:08:41
on where they can drill for oil they've had it for years and years and they don't want to do it well
1:08:47
before we before we sort of sign the administration and its defenders are saying
1:08:52
what do you mean what do you mean we're telling people they can't get more gas or that the companies can't drill more
1:08:58
go drill on what you're already allowed to drill on then we'll then we'll talk now the opposite side is what they're saying is
1:09:04
um and i heard this on on fox news just today they were like oh yeah it's one thing to lease a land but you need you
1:09:10
need permits x number of permits to sell you don't get the permits then you can't
1:09:15
uh you can that is that is fact so both both are correct the the nine thousand nine thousand oil rigs uh nine thousand
1:09:22
leases and why haven't you drilled before and yeah there's a certain number of steps between
1:09:28
leasing and getting to drill wire why are they both wrong well this side
1:09:34
is is wrong because they're ignoring this part right
1:09:40
this side is wrong because they're not turning the questions back to and right this is not they're not going back
1:09:46
to the administration to the oil companies and saying hey you want us to drill here but you're not giving us what
1:09:51
we need in order to drill what th that would be this side sorry
1:09:56
the company's going through the administration what what what the with the conservatives are are how they're
1:10:02
wrong is they're not asking the right questions the the one of the critical question is what
1:10:08
what has been the attempts on the part of the oil companies to get these permits over the last five or ten
1:10:14
years why have they not gotten these permits before because
1:10:20
yeah the vitamins and administration could speed up the perfect time maybe they didn't need them
1:10:25
well i think we also have to take that into account i think the answer is that they didn't want them it's not that they
1:10:31
didn't need them because more supply would lower the price and they don't necessarily want a lower price
1:10:37
technically high high oil prices high gas prices are good for the gas companies think about it because they're making
1:10:45
more money not necessarily well sure it could be
1:10:50
supply and all that but it i'm talking about like let's let's just say pre pre-covered without all these other
1:10:56
variables in it it's the same reason why opec controls the supply they want it to be a particular price they don't want to
1:11:02
be too low you're comparing this to like the beers thing with the with diamonds it is partially like that actually
1:11:08
that's a very good analogy it's not a i mean technically oil and gas companies have a monopoly because they're the oil
1:11:15
gas companies i don't mean like a single company right because it's not a single company i i agree but it's just but it's a commodity yes and the
1:11:22
the suppliers know that and i'm not saying they fix prices and they work together and all that but it is it is in
1:11:28
their in their better interest so i just don't think there was they they weren't doing it because they wanted the price
1:11:35
to be what it was and now now it's it's you know it's at
1:11:40
least in the government's interest to to lower prices for people and obviously people's interest right but again that's
1:11:46
that's i think that's one of the critical questions now could the administration speed up speed up permits uh arguably i guess but
1:11:54
then the the process exists for a reason to to look at the legal structure i don't know
1:11:59
environment environmentally yeah like there's aside from bureaucracy which is horrible right and maybe there should be less
1:12:06
permits right i think there's more to this than we really understand but i get what you're saying
1:12:11
that a lot of people seem to have opinions on this but there is unless you're in in that environment in that
1:12:17
realm of of of politics when it comes to either the you know the drilling companies or the
1:12:23
political side of what they understand from what's going on i think there's a lot more to this and
1:12:28
when people really understand and a lot of people are just i don't i'm not a fan of joe biden but
1:12:34
at the same time i understand that there's a lot more to it than people really get and there might be other
1:12:39
aspects of this that we just don't understand that i think we might just be jumping on bite and because we don't like them but at
1:12:45
the same time we have to you know we have to be realistic it could be that the the oil companies
1:12:51
are doing exactly what you're doing they didn't you know petition they didn't want to get these permits in time or maybe they haven't even gotten them or
1:12:58
even uh put in the paperwork to submit for them um and on the other hand it could be
1:13:04
biden's administration as well until we really know what's going on deeper into this whole situation
1:13:11
you know i think we should refrain from taking the easy run you know just you know blaming somebody without knowing
1:13:17
the re the true ins and outs of what's going on that's just me trying to be fair i'm not
1:13:22
a fan of buying but at the same time unless we know we don't know
1:13:28
well we are at the uh just about the 1 hour and 15 minute mark
1:13:34
i think we we have established that dominic mr dominic leon is a fan of burisma
1:13:40
