0:08
It's our Joe Biden elderly man with a
0:10
poor memory line. Be sure to pick it
0:12

0:15
want to get. studoesmerch.com. The
0:17
promo code is Stu10. You'll save 10%. Don't
0:19

0:22
well. youtube.com/StuDoesAmerica. Like the
0:24
channel, subscribe for notifications with the
0:26
little bell. We appreciate it when you do
0:28
that. And of course the podcast, wherever you
0:30
get your podcasts, Jason Buttrell is here to
0:33
tell us about the Blaze Media's new bombshell
0:35
filled border documentary. The left is doubling,
0:37
tripling, quadrupling down on
0:39
their love for abortion. Yay. It's
0:42
time to celebrate abortion. But we start
0:44
by doing the EV fizzle. Now
0:46
soon you will be at a
0:48
wedding of someone you don't like, some environmentalists,
0:51
and they'll be on the front of the
0:53
stage. You'll be like, hey guys, it's time
0:55
to do the EV fizzle. And
0:57
you'll want to kill yourself. And that will be
0:59
an appropriate response at that particular time. But
1:02
while that might sound fun at a wedding,
1:04
it's not fun for the companies that are
1:07
actually doing this. And it's really kind of
1:09
been an amazing turnaround. You remember electric vehicles
1:11
were the thing, the hottest thing you could
1:13
possibly have. Obviously Tesla leading the
1:15
way, but a lot of companies were investing
1:18
heavily in this. And we've seen it kind
1:20
of go in the tank quickly. Tesla
1:22
and EV stocks slide on startling news.
1:25
But Ford rallies. This is from
1:27
about a week ago. And we've
1:29
seen that fall continue to happen.
1:32
And not only have we seen it with more established companies
1:34
like Tesla and some of the other companies
1:36
that are announcing these big pullbacks on their
1:38
EV programs, we're also seeing
1:40
all the electric vehicle startups outside of
1:43
Tesla have massive problems. Batteries
1:46
drained, EV startups are struggling to maintain momentum. That's
1:48
a hell of a way of describing the four
1:50
charts you see on your screen right now. That
1:53
is not struggling to
1:56
maintain momentum. This is
1:58
cataclysmic. and wrong
2:00
like collapses in progress lucid
2:02
is down ninety five percent
2:05
rivian is down ninety four percent
2:08
nikola of course down ninety nine
2:10
percent poll star just absolutely trashing
2:12
its competitors only down ninety one
2:15
percent so that's good news
2:17
for them i'm i'm i'm sure now of
2:19
course you not only have that side of
2:21
it business part of this
2:23
not going well the market reacting negatively to
2:26
electric vehicles but you also have
2:29
you may be there are other
2:31
they're cracked up to be when
2:33
it comes to the environment electric
2:35
vehicles release more toxic emissions and
2:37
are worse for the environment than
2:39
gas-powered cars according to a new
2:41
study breaks and tires on the
2:43
visa release eighteen hundred fifty times
2:45
more particle pollution compared to modern
2:48
tailpipe which have efficient exhaust filters
2:50
bringing gas-powered vehicles emissions to new
2:52
lows and of course you
2:54
see all this happening the negative market
2:56
reaction the negative news on the environmental
2:58
impact and of course you know that
3:01
the biden administration is going to back
3:03
off of all their promises when it
3:05
comes to no
3:08
actually no janet yellen touts electric
3:10
vehicle boom and
3:13
automakers themselves tone down the height
3:15
yellen touted about in biden's ev
3:17
actions in kentucky at a new
3:20
forty nine million dollar ev battery
3:22
factory built by advanced and i
3:24
know products a battery supplier
3:26
that will receive tax credits of course
3:28
provided inflation reduction act for the new
3:30
clean energy facility for the boom of
3:33
the e v related investments in kentucky
3:35
yelling and yellen said the biden administration
3:37
policies and federal funds refueling private sector
3:39
investments will get into how these and
3:42
boom is occurring quote-unquote in just a
3:44
couple minutes but the momentum in
3:46
drop is real and i'd there is no
3:48
clear piece of evidence in the than in
3:50
today's new york times the kind of their
3:52
big story of the day is
3:54
about electric vehicles is called a new
3:57
surge in power use is threatening u.s.
3:59
climate goals And it goes deeper than
4:01
just electric vehicles, but it describes real
4:03
problems. You're going to be shocked to hear
4:05
this. Real problems with the pitch
4:08
that you've received over the past few
4:10
years about how wonderful all of this
4:12
green technology really is and what it
4:14
will do for our country and economy
4:16
and where we're going from here. Why?
4:19
Well, it's always unexpected,
4:21
right? Green technology, they
4:23
make these projections. They tell you how much better
4:26
everything is going to be. And then you
4:28
get punched in the face by reality. Reality
4:31
comes into play and reality says, oh, by
4:33
the way, all those ridiculous projections you made,
4:35
they're all nonsense. We're going a
4:38
totally different direction. We're going in a direction
4:40
of prosperity and new technology that
4:42
you didn't see coming. What a surprise.
4:44
They didn't see it coming. They never
4:46
see it coming. I constantly go back
4:48
to this one story from the year
4:51
1900, but it's a really, really
4:54
beneficial way to look at how difficult it
4:56
is to project what the next environmental catastrophe
4:59
is going to be in 1900. In
5:02
Manhattan, people were out of
5:04
their mind trying to figure out what you
5:06
would do with all the horse poop. We've
5:10
got this city is growing and
5:12
all the poop is all over the place because there's
5:14
more and more horses going around. It's pulling people around.
5:16
This is going to keep growing. There's going to be
5:18
horses everywhere. There's going to be poop everywhere. How do
5:21
we get it off of this island? A
5:23
sensible question. It's in 1900. But
5:26
then the automobile came around and
5:29
got rid of that problem completely.
5:32
That stuff keeps happening. Sometimes
5:34
it's good news. I would argue it was good news with
5:37
the automobile, not only because you get
5:39
to where you want to go faster, but it smells a
5:41
lot better, at least compared to
5:43
most Ubers. Sometimes you get an
5:45
Uber. Actually, you'd probably rather have the horse poop. Most
5:48
of the time it smells better. Here's some of
5:50
the New York Times. These are all quotes. Over
5:53
the past year, electric utilities have nearly
5:55
doubled their forecast. In one year, they've
5:57
doubled their forecast of how much additional.
6:00
power they will need by 2028 as
6:02
they confront an unexpected explosion in
6:04
the number of data centers, an abrupt
6:07
resurgence in manufacturing driven by new federal
6:09
laws, and millions of electric vehicles
6:11
plugged in. Take those three for a
6:13
second. Take those three
6:16
examples. This is so fundamental to what we
6:18
talk about all the time. If you are
6:20
a conservative, if you are someone who cares,
6:22
if you're a libertarian, who cares about the
6:25
way markets actually work and are skeptical of
6:27
government action, this is such a great example.
6:30
And what are the three? Data
6:32
centers? Well, we have all
6:34
these new laws trying to incentivize computer
6:37
technology type stuff here in America.
6:40
The CHIPS Act is part of
6:42
that. The resurgence in manufacturing driven
6:44
by new federal laws, right? The
6:47
Inflation of Justice Adjustment Act trying to get
6:49
you to buy American all these things. Well,
6:51
all this manufacturing is now being propped up
6:53
by the government here in the United States,
6:56
even though it's far too expensive to actually
6:58
compete. So what happens? Well, you got a
7:00
lot of new demands on electricity there and
7:02
millions of electric vehicles. How many times have talked about this?
7:06
If you start, if you go from a
7:08
gas economy with your transportation to
7:10
an electric economy, some of that will be fun. Some of that will
7:12
be cool. The cars will go nice and fast. Some of them, some
7:14
of them will be great. But when
7:16
you're changing that demand on your grid, when
7:19
you don't have a grid that can actually
7:21
hold up to it, that's kind of a
7:23
problem. How many times have conservatives said this?
7:25
You're incentivizing action you're not prepared for. Well,
7:28
here we are. Now expectations are doubling.
7:30
Their projections were totally wrong. Remember, these
7:32
are the projections telling you we're going
7:34
to save all these emissions and save
7:36
the world. Well, they were all wrong
7:38
yet again. Here we are
7:41
in an ironic twist, says the New
7:43
York Times. The swelling appetite
7:45
for more electricity driven not only
7:48
by electric cars, but also by
7:50
battery and solar factories and other
7:52
aspects of the clean energy transition.
7:56
They could also just jeopardize the country's
7:58
plans to fight climate change. who
8:01
could have possibly seen this
8:03
coming except those with eyes.
8:08
And here we are once again
8:10
fighting these same battles that we were right
8:12
on all these years, and we're
8:14
in the same period. Now the New York
8:16
Times comes along. They're like, oh my God,
8:19
the Hunter Biden laptop is real. Well, thanks
8:21
for joining the party, New York Times. In
8:23
Georgia, where dozens of electric vehicle companies and
8:25
suppliers are setting up shop, the state's largest
8:27
utility now expects, ready
8:30
for this, 16
8:33
times as much growth
8:35
in electricity demand this decade as
8:37
it did two years ago.
8:42
Not 50 years ago, not 100 years ago, not
8:44
even 10 years ago. Two
8:47
years ago, they're like, oh, we need this
8:49
much. Oh, now we need 16 times as
8:51
much. Does that sound like the
8:53
type of people who should be advising you
8:55
on what vehicle you should
8:58
be buying or where the economy
9:00
should be going? Has anyone ever
9:02
heard of centrally planned economies losing?
9:04
It used to be American history.
9:08
We knew we won and we knew the Soviet
9:10
Union lost. Why? They were
9:12
centrally planning all the time. We weren't. We
9:14
won. Now we centrally plan and now we lose. That's
9:17
how this goes. Some utilities say
9:19
they need additional fossil fuel capacity because
9:21
cleaner alternatives like wind or solar aren't
9:23
growing fast enough and can be bogged
9:26
down by what? Delayed
9:28
permits and snarled supply
9:30
chains. Utilities
9:33
also note, and you'll be shocked to
9:35
hear this, that data centers and factories
9:38
need 24 hour a day power. Something
9:42
wind and solar can't
9:45
do alone. Really?
9:50
I for one am totally stunned by
9:52
this. You're telling me the sun just
9:55
isn't out 24 hours a day. The
9:58
wind isn't a reliable. 24
10:00
hour a day power source, that's
10:02
shocking to me. I've always noted
10:05
when I walk outside, the wind is the exact same
10:07
speed all the time and it's always light. No matter
10:09
when I walk out of my home, what world are
10:11
these guys living in? Every
10:14
person on earth knew this was coming
10:16
except the experts in the New York
10:18
Times and in our government. But
10:21
here we are to meet spiking
10:23
demand utilities in states like Georgia, North Carolina,
10:25
South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia are proposing to
10:27
build dozens of power plants over the next
10:29
15 years that would burn what? Oh,
10:33
reliable natural gas.
10:35
In Kansas, one utility has postponed the retirement
10:38
of a coal plant
10:40
to help power a giant electric
10:42
car battery factory, which I freaking
10:45
love that little anecdote. This
10:47
is happening of course all throughout the green economy.
10:50
Some utilities say they'll need additional
10:52
fossil fuel capacity because cleaner alternatives
10:54
like winter solar aren't growing fast
10:56
enough and can
10:59
be bogged down by delayed permits
11:01
and snarled supply chains while
11:03
a data center can be built in just one year.
11:06
Think about this. It can
11:08
be five years or longer to connect
11:10
renewable energy projects to the grid and
11:13
a decade to build some of the long distance
11:15
power lines they require. Utilities also
11:17
note that data centers and factories need that power 24 hours a
11:19
day as I mentioned. You
11:22
have a one year window
11:24
to launch a giant data center, which
11:27
of course money is being dumped into that, but
11:29
it takes five years to get the clean energy ready
11:32
to provide the power for
11:35
that data center and 10 years to get
11:37
the lines built to go to the actual
11:39
data center. Does this make sense to anyone
11:41
else? So
11:44
far one state, the one state that seems
11:46
to be able to do this kind of
11:48
well and keep pace
11:50
with the explosive demand is where Texas,
11:52
where electricity has risen by 29% over
11:54
the past decade
11:57
driven by things like Bitcoin mining, the thing
11:59
that Elizabeth Warren tells is going to be
12:01
the problem, in fact has been the solution
12:03
largely in these cases, liquefied natural gas terminals
12:05
and the electrification of oil fields. Texas'
12:07
streamlined permitting process allows wind, solar and
12:10
battery projects to get built and connected
12:12
faster than almost anywhere else. So everywhere
12:15
else is like, oh, we'll build the green stuff and we'll
12:17
bog it down with bureaucracy. At least Texas is
12:19
saying, look, you want to build the green stuff fine, but
12:23
as I hit the bidenomics strikes back mug,
12:25
which is quite a statement at this particular
12:27
moment, but Texas is actually doing something about
12:29
it. They're the ones building the capacity and
12:31
of course they're also the one that gets
12:33
blamed by everybody. Wasn't
12:36
there a time before you make this transition
12:38
to electric everything that you think about? I
12:41
don't know. The freaking power grid
12:44
and how it can be, it doesn't have
12:46
the capacity to produce that much power. Can
12:48
you get the power to the places you need it to be? Of
12:51
course, it doesn't seem like anyone thought about it
12:53
because they were all ignoring you when you said
12:55
it over and over again. They didn't
12:57
want to hear it from you. You're just
12:59
some guy. You're just some lady. You're just
13:01
talking out your ass. You don't know what
13:03
you're talking about. They're experts. Well, guess what?
13:05
You were right and they were wrong. And
13:09
for some reason, even though every person on
13:11
earth knew this was coming, they're not prepared
13:13
for it. Nobody apparently except
13:15
for Texas actually accounted for the increase
13:18
in power surge. And look, Texas isn't
13:20
like perfect here. We had a massive
13:22
problem a couple of years ago, but
13:25
at the very least they've increased capacity
13:27
enough to deal with the large surge
13:29
in general baseline power. That's at least
13:32
part of the battle. There's all
13:34
this new demand for power, but it's impossible
13:36
to build that infrastructure almost everywhere in the
13:38
country. That's a problem. Now, of course, no
13:40
one would even be using any of this technology
13:43
because no one wants it. Geez,
13:45
I didn't ... I'm going to bring this article into
13:47
you a little bit later, but there's a whole story
13:50
about how these cars are being
13:52
produced. They're going to these lots and they're
13:54
staying on the lots for two
13:57
and three times as long as the gas-powered cars.
14:00
don't want them. They also don't want solar
14:02
panels. They also don't want any of that
14:04
crap. The only reason any of it sells
14:06
at all is all the government giveaways, the
14:08
subsidies that go to people who buy them.
14:10
Well, yeah, you might consider a Tesla if
14:12
they're going to pay you $7500 to buy
14:14
one. Well, okay, maybe that makes sense then.
14:16
Same thing with solar panels. You're getting tons
14:18
and tons of cash to put this on
14:20
the board. I will tell you, I
14:24
was looking at an investment
14:26
I was considering recently and they were
14:28
talking about something with residential real estate.
14:31
They were talking about how eventually this
14:34
real estate package may be purchased by a larger big
14:36
guy that comes in and swoops in and buys it
14:39
up. They said, well, we're buying
14:41
these houses largely to make sure we are ready
14:43
in case someone who's bigger wants to come in
14:45
and buy them up and we have all these
14:47
different restrictions and they need to have this many
14:50
bedrooms and have all these different things. One of
14:52
the things that were a requirement, a requirement, no
14:55
solar panels, none. Why?
14:58
Well, you got the maintenance first of all, but
15:00
secondly, you have all these crazy contracts with people
15:02
who are selling solar panels and so these companies
15:04
don't even want to be bogged down in it.
15:06
It's a total mess. How
15:09
does this happen? How do we get forward
15:11
from here? People don't even want these things.
15:13
Now look, if you have solar panels already
15:15
on the house, you'd think, okay, this is
15:17
a wonderful positive. No, it's not even a
15:19
positive then. Even if you're not paying for
15:21
it directly, people still don't want this stuff.
15:23
And what happened? I asked you this, I
15:25
showed you those charts, these down 90% these
15:27
companies, all these companies having
15:29
these struggles and this is with a
15:32
very friendly administration who wants to do
15:34
nothing more than give away trillions of
15:37
your tax dollars to these companies to
15:39
do these things. What
15:42
happens if Biden loses? What
15:45
happens if Biden loses? What happens
15:47
to these companies if Donald Trump is in
15:49
charge and is no longer interested in giving
15:52
away trillions of dollars to these companies? What
15:54
happens then? These
15:56
companies are going to die. And
15:58
what happens to your green future? then.
16:02
Much smarter, of course, is to just
16:04
build an economy based on a market
16:06
where people buy the things they want,
16:08
not manipulating the market, to tell them
16:10
what they need. If you
16:12
did it that way, you'd notice that a lot
16:14
of times the market would play out. I mean,
16:16
I think people would still buy Teslas, frankly, even
16:18
without the government giveaways, many of which have expired
16:20
over the years, for Tesla in particular, but are
16:23
still available for other companies. You know, I think
16:25
people would still buy Teslas because they like those
16:27
cars. I think people, for
16:29
example, would continue to use LED lighting
16:31
because they notice it's better. That's
16:34
how these things work and stick. The government can
16:36
come in and spend a bunch of money and
16:38
sure hire some people and brag about their job
16:40
gains and they can brag about the growth of
16:43
the industry. Of course they can do that. It's
16:45
easy. When you're giving away money
16:47
that isn't yours, all of this is easy, but
16:49
that money dries up eventually and when it
16:52
dries up, you've got nothing because people don't
16:54
actually want these products. They don't
16:56
want them. They want things that actually
16:59
work and until you can come up with
17:01
a product that can compete in an equal,
17:04
on an equal playing field with gas
17:06
powered products and fossil fuel backed
17:09
products, you're going to wind up
17:12
with a four-year cataclysmic question on
17:14
your entire industry. That's no way
17:16
to run an economy and of
17:18
course the people who are running
17:21
our economy these days have absolutely
17:23
no idea that's true. When
17:35
you're going through your grocery store aisle and you're
17:38
looking to maybe pick up some meat for the

the code BORDER. You'll get 30 bucks off
19:51
your Blaze TV subscription. That's how you can
19:53
watch the doc. And Jason,
19:56
thanks for coming on the program. I know this was... I mean
19:59
it is the biggest... issue for voters right like
20:01
to take apart the actual issue which is
20:03
always been a big issue conservatives have been
20:05
talking about the border forever but have not
20:07
always had agreement when it
20:10
comes to the left on these issues increasingly
20:13
though we're seeing some actual cross a
20:15
partisan sort of stuff here
20:17
going on because the situation so bad yeah
20:20
i don't it's it's funny
20:22
you always was not funny it's it's the
20:24
fact that that you always see the border
20:26
come up in election year or in the
20:28
few months leading up to an election year
20:30
all the time now i don't think donald
20:32
trumpet elected president twenty sixteen if not for
20:34
the border and and i think he he
20:37
was a master and making people really care
20:39
about it uh... it didn't start
20:41
becoming an issue that it always been an issue
20:43
but he was very good at showing the people
20:45
you know you know uh... exactly i
20:47
guess how to be angry at this and why this is
20:49
a change i
20:51
do give the trump administration credit for a lot of
20:53
the changes um... because uh... joe
20:55
biden i think intentionally broke the
20:58
border by getting rid of all the things
21:00
that donald trump did i you know remain
21:02
in mexico uh... ending catch
21:04
and release uh... scaling back
21:06
parole all these different things joe
21:08
biden did on one day
21:10
in february just boom just completely destroyed
21:12
the border uh... i
21:15
don't think that any side and that's a
21:17
kind of one of the realizations i had
21:20
towards the end of filming this i
21:22
don't think any side has any real
21:24
intention seriously fixing
21:26
it i don't think they do and then what's
21:28
crazy is and this is what really black filled
21:31
me on it is i thought that at least
21:33
texas would be you
21:35
know different we have republicans uh...
21:37
just like you know like we haven't here like we
21:39
have in washington d.c. that you know clearly see a
21:41
crisis that they want to take advantage of and
21:44
more politically beneficial for them just uh... you know
21:46
talk about it and get people angry about it
21:48
but come on we are this is an issue
21:51
that we have to deal with every single day
21:53
we are right on the border only affect that
21:55
all the communities along the southern border they affect
21:57
the state i after
22:00
filming this i
22:03
had the realization that you know i
22:05
wish that our leaders here
22:07
in texas were more sincere i wish that
22:10
they would do more and
22:12
that is not what i found at
22:14
all doing this that's terrifying and again
22:17
you can watch the documentary
22:19
as part of the blaze tv
22:21
subscription uh... make sure to sign up uh...
22:24
let me go back to how this all came together
22:26
because this was at the period where it's not not
22:28
that long ago few weeks ago or a couple months
22:30
ago where they're having this big border caravan this is
22:32
the biggest story in the country for a week everyone's
22:34
talking about this it was we were told we were
22:37
going to have these extremists going down to the border
22:39
they're going to do all these crazy things we're gonna
22:41
have another january six all these
22:43
things were going on around in the media and
22:45
you were just decided hey why
22:47
don't we just go with these guys and see what's going
22:49
on yeah i mean because i mean i actually do the
22:52
job the media should be doing right like if you're going
22:54
to call somebody a christian nationalist and dangerous
22:56
maybe you should ask that person before you call them that
22:59
yes i that's it i thought that
23:01
was journalism no maybe just don't love
23:03
labels and names that people without actually
23:05
investigating and now the more
23:07
terrifying thing that was a crazy time you
23:09
think about it december january and february were
23:12
watershed moment for for immigration in the border
23:15
december you know we had three
23:17
hundred thousand counters you know on on the border
23:19
and a lot of that was you know coming
23:21
through equal pass right there texas
23:25
sees the border uh... are that will part shut
23:27
shell we park there in equal pass first
23:30
couple weeks in january something like that and
23:32
then that of course kicked off a lot i was
23:35
crazy proud to be a texan at that point not
23:37
like this is awesome yeah and a lot of people
23:39
were for having that same you know feeling
23:42
and that group that started the tech
23:44
take our border back convoy like what's
23:46
you know it's let's go
23:48
in solidarity let's you know support them in they
23:51
uh... announced that they were going
23:53
to start in virginia beach virginia and drive all the
23:55
way across in a big what was kind of branded
23:57
as a trucker convoy you know kinda like
23:59
in can Canada and Europe all the
24:02
way down to Eagle Pass. That
24:04
was the first, if you think
24:06
that we're manipulated by the government, when it comes
24:09
to the border of immigration, we're also manipulated by
24:11
the media. The
24:13
media, instantly, just like you said,
24:16
Christian nationalists, dangerous, January 6th,
24:20
another one, those were the top
24:22
headlines. You
24:24
showed up with them in Baton Rouge,
24:26
Louisiana, so I guess kind of halfway through their trip.
24:30
You show up and the morning of, which
24:32
we have on the dock tonight, they're going
24:34
through a morning prayer. I'm
24:36
like, I'm not getting
24:38
those dangerous vibes. I'm
24:40
getting Christian vibes. I'm getting Christian vibes,
24:43
but very different there. Then
24:46
I go up to talk, so let's take that. I'm getting Christian
24:48
vibes, am I getting the nationalist vibes? Talk to
24:50
some of the same people. They didn't even
24:52
know what the heck Christian nationalists was. When
24:55
I told them that, yeah, this is part of the, that you
24:57
would think that you're against the constitution. You don't believe in the
24:59
constitution of the United States, you know, and you want the theocracy.
25:02
Then they're like, we're literally handing out
25:04
pocket constitution. All of
25:06
our vehicles have been wrapped with a
25:08
big ass constitution on the side of
25:11
it. They're clearly
25:13
not against the US constitution. Then
25:15
I'm like, well, where does this label come
25:17
from? I think that a
25:20
lot of them would just own it. They're like, okay, fine. I don't
25:22
know what a Christian national says, but I am a Christian and I
25:24
do love this country. So fine, call me
25:26
a Christian national. I think we as Christians
25:28
that have strong political beliefs need to be
25:30
very, very careful of that because you're kind
25:33
of walking right into those
25:35
labels that were being thrown around at that time.
25:37
And those labels do have meaning. I mean, you
25:39
know, because you're right. Like what they're trying to
25:41
do now is are you patriotic and are you
25:43
Christian? Therefore you're a Christian nationalist. And like it,
25:46
it's like almost like just like fine, call me whatever
25:48
you want. I understand that instinct, but like Christian
25:51
nationalism has a real history. It's not a positive
25:53
one. They do. There are a lot
25:55
of people who talk about this. You know,
25:57
a lot. There are some people who talk
25:59
about. This idea of a theocracy. And there
26:01
are some people who seem to think that's
26:03
a good idea. I am not one of
26:05
them. I don't think that's what the country
26:07
was founded on. There are a minority the
26:09
a really small. I looked at it as
26:11
gonna start looking into all the people that
26:13
were involved in this. Anna none
26:15
of their views were Christian nationals views.
26:17
I did run across some legitimate Christian
26:20
nationalist, but I guarantee you probably ninety
26:22
nine percent of the country has never
26:24
heard of any these names, right? They're
26:26
not prominent and necessity. or yes, it's
26:28
It's a small fraction of society that
26:30
for some reason, the government and the
26:32
media is trying to make it seem
26:35
like they're a large majority. In
26:37
society and that's where you need to
26:39
start being very very careful with what
26:41
you can adjust for claimants you will
26:43
find of call me that because in
26:45
history the government has always used be
26:47
use of labels. Like. Communist at
26:49
just As marketing I say I see
26:52
this some in a similar way and
26:54
when we run this theory buy you
26:56
a similar way of how the left
26:58
in the media use racist and in
27:00
the left in the media used bursar
27:02
right there are racists there are birth
27:04
or is there are christian nationalist they're
27:06
very small percentage and instead of just
27:09
taking taking that view on and say
27:11
look as we did like look we
27:13
done with. Racism We obviously wrong.
27:15
We're not white nationalist. We think that's terrible. Nina,
27:17
the birth or thing. I never believed in that
27:19
some people did, but I never did and called
27:21
the things out here. This is why we don't
27:23
believe in them and try to disprove that. for
27:25
the small sector people who do believe it, is
27:27
it a doing that. The it's
27:30
much more beneficial for them to keep
27:32
it alive right? Like Barack Obama wanted
27:34
the birth or thing to exist because
27:36
it was an easy way to paint
27:38
all of his opponents as sort of
27:40
looney tunes right? Like it was an
27:42
easy thing for him to do See
27:44
Love does that story every as into
27:46
the way. And I think right now
27:48
the same thing with person nationalism, they
27:50
don't want Christian nationalism to go away.
27:52
it's to a valuable a foil. No
27:54
oh no I I absolutely agree. And
27:56
I'm that's another reason why we are
27:58
to be careful. With. what we
28:00
are labeling ourselves as. I
28:03
was really curious when I first heard that we were
28:06
gonna go do this, because
28:08
this was one of the first big events,
28:10
I guess, from
28:13
the right, post-January 6th. And
28:16
the reason being for that is everyone's scared
28:18
of death on the right to actually go
28:21
out and get caught up in another January
28:23
6th-like scandal. You have agitators
28:25
that are, whether they're from
28:27
within the government, FBI, whatever, just
28:30
trying to catch people involved in something, or
28:33
escalate them into doing
28:35
something, or outside agitators, like actual bad
28:37
people that would kinda get
28:39
mixed up in it. People were just scared to
28:42
let their voices be heard. These people were not
28:44
when I talked to them. They did not care,
28:46
and in fact, many of them were
28:49
telling me that they hoped that this would draw
28:51
people out, not for violence, but just to let
28:53
their voices be heard. They were hoping
28:55
that would be kinda like the
28:58
torch-bearing moment where people would finally
29:00
come out and say, okay, we're not scared. We're
29:03
not gonna be intimidated by either the
29:05
government or really bad actors. We're going to go
29:07
out there and say, yes, we want a strong
29:09
border. We do believe in law and order. I
29:12
don't wanna give this moment away in the documentary because
29:15
it's really fascinating, but
29:17
there's a moment in the documentary where
29:20
you're on the border, and you're
29:22
trying to access a certain point on
29:24
the border. I
29:27
think, first of all, it's very funny,
29:29
but second of all, it highlights
29:32
how difficult this is in some ways. Like
29:36
locking up the border could be done,
29:39
but the restrictions that we
29:41
have, whether sometimes it's environmental, sometimes it's
29:43
legal, sometimes it's private property, all these
29:45
things, and it's almost always
29:48
connected to the central government. With
29:50
all these issues and these borders
29:52
and these border, these obstacles in
29:55
your way, it's almost impossible
29:57
to cover the border at times, and it makes
29:59
it... that obvious that you they're
30:02
not doing enough to actually stop this problem
30:04
i i i don't know if i'm i
30:07
don't want to my head too much as to what it is but like
30:09
you do you do you get it like it's almost like it makes it
30:12
you shine a light on the border in a way that i don't
30:14
think it's been before yet will the
30:16
entire border
30:18
and as far security on the border it
30:21
even the ap you know that the idea of building
30:23
a wall pretty
30:25
much all just bull crap uh...
30:28
i think i will walk and help in some cases
30:30
uh... but a lot of people
30:32
don't know that ultimate solution it's
30:34
part of the solution with part of the solution
30:36
but a lot of people also don't realize that
30:38
if you don't fix silo
30:40
works the wall doesn't matter
30:42
because the actual border is not the wall
30:45
uh... that nothing will show in the
30:47
documentary is there's uh... huge wall down
30:49
there by eagle path but
30:52
it's probably what like maybe the
30:55
lesson half a mile away from the actual border so
30:58
the border is the middle of the real grand so
31:01
anybody wants to come across a border claim asylum
31:03
the moment they pass the midpoint of the of
31:05
the river right business along before you get to
31:07
the wall you're still looking at another ten to
31:09
fifteen minute walk to the wall while so long
31:11
before you get to the wall all you have
31:13
to do is go asylum and
31:16
if the laws are are soft
31:19
if they're just have this like catch and release
31:21
program a parole all these things that are incentivizing
31:23
them to come over the damage are done they're
31:25
already here they're going to be gone within the
31:27
matter of hours when they disappear into united states
31:32
you gotta wonder why did the texas government i'll
31:34
get as close as i think i can why
31:36
did the uh... the texas government such
31:40
a high-profile location like shelby park
31:42
right in the middle of the
31:44
whole time why did
31:46
they do that why do are
31:49
there did they continue for weeks afterwards
31:51
uh... all these red state governors go
31:53
down making a big show of support
31:55
standing right there in the middle of
31:58
shelby park with governor abbott including celebrities
32:00
like Elon Musk. They
32:03
wanted cameras down there. They wanted
32:05
this to get pushed out to
32:07
as many places as possible. The
32:11
way they were showing this, I'm trying to do this without
32:14
getting in trouble, the way they were showing
32:16
this, it made it look like the Texas
32:18
National Guard had completely locked this down. It
32:21
was Texas versus the feds. What
32:23
I found, that's kind of
32:26
a lie. I'll put it like that. But
32:28
we did do some interesting things to circumvent
32:31
some of that security. Legally, it
32:33
was all legal. Sure, sure, of
32:35
course it was. Last
32:38
thing before you leave, you're
32:40
the only other person I know who's into
32:42
this Jake Paul, Mike Tyson fight. If
32:45
you don't know, Mike Tyson, of course, former champion,
32:47
Jake Paul influencer who boxes sometimes, I guess, is
32:49
how you describe him. Maybe actor, I don't know
32:51
what he is. But somehow
32:54
they're going to be fighting. He's 26 years
32:56
old, Mike Tyson's 57.
32:59
What I find fascinating about this is I've talked to a few
33:01
different people about this.
33:04
Some people are like, oh, Jake Paul is going to
33:06
get killed. It's going against Mike Tyson, a champion.
33:09
Other people are like, wait, Mike Tyson's 57. He's going
33:11
to get killed by the 26-year-old who's in really good
33:14
shape. How do you see this fight?
33:16
I think it's going to do it. I'm totally
33:19
into it. I do not like Jake Paul. I
33:21
hate the fighters he chooses. I
33:23
think he chooses fights that he knows he can probably
33:25
win. There was one that was a question and he
33:27
lost that fight. But there
33:29
also been questions whether these are even real.
33:31
It's a media circus. I think fighting Mike
33:33
Tyson's also a media circus. But
33:39
he is not your normal 57-year-old. He
33:41
posted a video yesterday. He looks like
33:43
a monster. An
33:45
absolute monster. I don't care. To this
33:47
day, I'm not going one-on-one with Michael
33:49
Jordan. He's going to destroy me. He's
33:51
got a huge pot belly and he's
33:53
how old? He's probably like 50. I'm
33:56
not playing him one-on-one. He destroyed me. do
34:00
not fight this man yeah if this is a
34:02
real if they've been put the boxing is not
34:04
a setup i think it's not
34:06
in the first rap really i'll make a prediction
34:08
anything tightens going to be a one who wins
34:10
harbucks what i don't know i don't have a
34:12
hard enough that about that and
34:15
i i i i think the thing thing i think
34:17
i'm not at the part time that you did you
34:19
call fifty seems to be to win in a way
34:21
to be actually good as it's just a scam i
34:23
have no idea how much boxer much and i don't
34:25
know much about people but i think
34:27
it's what he thinks you know you think would
34:29
be able to be competitive with a thirty seven-year-old but
34:31
i think i think it's prime was scary type
34:33
of the end of his actual boxing career though
34:35
was not scary no needy add on
34:37
another twenty years fifteen twenty years that
34:40
like i mean it could be i
34:42
don't know he he was getting tattoos on his
34:44
face and buying people's ears off and he was
34:46
still pretty scary right i'll remind you good boxing
34:49
maybe not yet scary exactly i will remind you
34:51
of course we're talking about a convicted rapist that
34:53
suddenly has made it back into our society and
34:55
no one seems to notice anymore totally different story

Great news. Karma Harris is breaking
36:05
barriers yet again. This time she's
36:07
going to visit an abortion clinic.
36:09
Yes, the first for president or
36:11
vice President Lee said they've told
36:13
us the but I'd be I'd
36:15
dump me Academy never made it
36:17
to abortion clinic. I don't believe
36:19
every second, but at least that
36:21
as president it's official event, they've
36:23
never been there. Karma is the
36:25
first one to go to an
36:27
abortion. Played mrs such a fancy
36:29
if they of course obviously this
36:32
is their entire strategy. Make this about
36:34
some me know mythical issue that supposedly
36:36
is for women's rights when in and
36:38
of course half of the deaths that
36:40
occurred because of the procedure are eventually
36:42
going to be women. But the totally
36:44
different thing but like I thought back
36:46
of his like what what an awful
36:49
thing to do. An awful
36:51
thing to do. I mean of the
36:53
people marks poor Rudy Giuliani first to
36:55
hit it out there and they heat
36:57
and front of Four Seasons Total Landscaping
36:59
with hair dye coming down the side
37:02
of his face. was that more embarrassing?
37:04
Than. Presenting yourself as a hero. To.
37:07
What's going on inside The abortion clinic?
37:09
Now. I am the lights as you have like
37:12
a people we during a press conference at a
37:14
school the be there talking to the kids as
37:16
they write on their desks and of little a
37:18
factory and will be there with a hard hat
37:20
on and of the oh look at look at
37:22
this guy putting together these cars and blah blah
37:24
you ever wonder he I don't think that to
37:26
see ah they are going to see com ela
37:28
in standing there as the abortion goes on inside
37:30
the room deal. As
37:32
it is, so why not? Why
37:35
wouldn't Why wouldn't she do that? Is
37:37
it because she's horrified by the actual process
37:39
going on inside and doesn't want anyone to
37:41
know about it? Doesn't want anyone to think
37:43
about it. For any sects. I will say
37:45
I I may be jumping the gun here.
37:47
It's very possible she is doing the press
37:49
conference with the abortion going on right behind
37:51
her so I shouldn't put a pastor. We
37:53
will. We will see on that. and
37:56
we also have olivia rodrigo and her
37:58
cancer she's heading up morning after
38:00
pills in missouri a state where abortions are
38:02
illegal now i don't know for the morning
38:05
after pill is illegal in missouri uh...
38:07
probably assume not made but i don't think any because
38:09
she's famous they may not have shuttered out even if
38:11
she was doing that we've come a
38:14
long way with the pop celebrities right like
38:16
remember like the jonas brothers were handing out
38:19
like promise rings i'd never
38:21
do justin beaver is actually a virgin and
38:23
that would be a big topic for a
38:25
while now it's like a we're
38:28
just going to be dead dot as much sex
38:30
as you want to support the kid in the
38:32
in the lobby i mean i i think i
38:34
guess that's what we're doing now so congratulations to
38:36
the left they've really done a great job bringing
38:38
the culture of life to
38:40
our country what a wonderful thing you're
38:42
standing for here if
38:45
it wasn't for you we have so
38:47
many babies that would be alive and
38:49
what a terrible world that would be
38:51
so congratulations to olivia rodrigo and comela
38:54
harris about
39:05
six uh... months ago i came into the
39:08
radio show and glenn's raving about this
39:10
movie he saw and you know i'd died
39:12
like i've never seen him talk about
39:14
a movie before and think it's not even
39:16
the final cut yet it's incredible you have
39:18
to see it well that movie has
39:20
finally arrived in theaters now called cabrini audience
39:23
and critics agree cabrini is a must-see
39:25
ninety eight percent audience score ninety one percent
39:27
great critic score on rotten tomatoes it's
39:30
based on the true story of a woman's
39:32
fight for the equality health and happiness of
39:34
immigrant orphans i don't know how you're gonna bill
39:36
if i uh... kabreen i think
39:38
they're not going to probably try some point i
39:40
don't even know but it's not it's not about
39:42
left and right here this is a bit of
39:45
a great story a great movie from allahandra montavere
39:47
day uh... this is of course an award-winning director
39:49
of the sound of freedom this comes a powerful
39:51
epic of francesca cabrini an italian immigrant who arrived
39:53
in new york city in eighteen eighty nine and
39:56
uh... is created by defeat crime
39:58
in impoverished children which So a
40:00
little bit too much like New York in
40:02
2024 as well, but that's a totally
40:04
different story. Cabrini sets off on a
40:07
daring mission to convince the hostile mayor
40:09
to secure housing and health care for
40:11
society's most vulnerable. Broken English, poor health,
40:13
lots of hurdles. Cabrini uses her entrepreneurial
40:15
mind to build an empire of hope
40:17
unlike anything we've ever seen before. Left
40:20
and right agree. Cabrini is a film
40:23
all Americans can celebrate and love. It's
40:25
a New York story, but more importantly,
40:27
it's an American story. It's in theaters
40:29
now. Just purchase your tickets in advance
40:31
online. Go to angel.com slash Stu,
40:34
angel.com/Stu. The movie is Cabrini.
40:36
You can see it in
40:38
theaters everywhere. It's angel.com/Stu. I
40:42
don't want to spend your money most of the
40:44
time. I mean, if you give it to me,
40:46
I will happily spend it, but I'm talking more
40:48
about government money. I don't want the government to
40:50
do like 90% of the stuff that they do.
40:52
Okay. That's what I want as a society, but
40:54
there is one thing I want the government probably
40:56
to be involved in, which is really
40:59
cool, super duper weapons. They're awesome.
41:01
And also we need them for our
41:04
defense. I think spending sometimes irrationally
41:06
on weapons and future weapon design is
41:08
something the government should be, if
41:10
we're going to do anything, they should do that. Well, now
41:13
we have something, this is from the British government,
41:15
embarrassingly, but the British
41:17
government is beating us on this, but
41:20
air defense for $13 a shot, how
41:22
lasers could revolutionize the
41:24
way militaries counter enemy
41:27
missiles and drones and lasers. I'm
41:31
really interested and excited about this.
41:33
I mean, if you watch the, I can't remember which documentary
41:35
it was, it was one where the, was
41:37
it White House Down? One of those, one of
41:40
those. And although the swarm of drones come down
41:42
and you look at that and you're like, how
41:45
could we defeat that? It's so cheap.
41:47
We're seeing it with the Houthis now,
41:49
where it's really difficult to do. And we're
41:51
shooting down $2,000 drones with $500,000 missiles. And even that's
41:57
really hard to do, but we're able to pretty much
41:59
do it. $13 a shot
42:01
if this is reality this is going to be an incredible thing
42:03
and we should be developing stuff like this all the time Also
42:06
one more quick thing Bernie Sanders has
42:08
unveiled unveiled a 32-hour workweek bill This
42:11
would basically mean instead of getting overtime at 40 hours you get it
42:13
at 32 you get 1.5 times Hours
42:17
for anything longer than eight hours
42:19
and yes a typical You
42:22
know Bernie Sanders Union type
42:24
thing where they want to make everybody everything's
42:26
free someone I who is it Stephanie slate
42:28
I think pointed this out, you know
42:30
progressive economics means wanting to only have $10
42:33
a day healthcare only cost the parents $10
42:36
But then you also have to pay $20 an hour to
42:38
all the employees who live there. How does that work? No
42:41
one knows and this Bernie Sanders thing is nonsense. Of
42:43
course, it shouldn't pass. I will say The
42:45
32-hour workweek or something like it is coming.
42:48
This is not this is not this is happening. It's
42:50
going to happen Because
42:52
of market forces the
42:54
AI stuff with how it's taking jobs I think
42:56
the way this likely looks is not necessarily all
42:59
the jobs go away But that the jobs wind
43:01
up being far fewer hours than they were it's
43:03
gonna start going down towards 32 We
43:06
saw this pitch for $15 minimum wage Everybody laughed
43:08
at it including me when it started and then
43:10
here we are It seems like basically everyone's doing
43:12
that now the 32-hour workweek is gonna come We
43:15
better get used to it better figure out what we're doing with
43:17
our lives because the world is changing quickly
43:26
Okay, so here's what happened I gotta get through these quickly
43:28
because they're amazing and then I have a question for you
43:31
at the end well The
43:35
rats are all high so that The
43:40
New Orleans Police Department had a bunch of rats
43:42
and they went into the evidence room and they
43:45
ate all the drugs so the rats are high
43:47
I give you a second story a chemical
43:50
cat at large In
43:53
a Japanese city officials warn chemical cat
43:55
fell into a bat of chemicals now
43:57
is covered in toxic chemicals My
44:00
question for you is, who wins in
44:02
a fight? Is it
44:04
the chemical cat or the fleet
44:06
of drug-infested rats? Now of course if they
44:08
were cocaine rats, I would pick the rats.
44:11
However, they've been eating the marijuana.
44:14
So they're stone rats. They might be very
44:16
hungry, but I think defeatable because they're going
44:18
to be just far too dais
44:21
and confused.
