[00:00:01] Speaker A: Alrighty. Alrighty, everybody, welcome back. It is Argue this with Alex the Truck and Tronny Wanney. [00:00:07] Speaker B: Yo. [00:00:08] Speaker A: So this week we're gonna, you know, get on to some fucking taxes. Like, Tron is, you know, hard up on these whole taxes. He wants tax reform and everything. And I'm here for the capitalist. I want people to become billionaires and I'm the evil bad man, I guess. So take it away. Like, what do you think? Like, the whole tax situation, you know, should be like. And what is your qualms with it? [00:00:39] Speaker B: Why should billionaires exist? [00:00:41] Speaker A: First, I mean, because, like, if someone does something really good, like, imagine someone comes up with a pill that, you know, heals all pain. [00:00:53] Speaker B: Are you going to spend a billion dollars in your lifetime? If you legitly had a billion. [00:00:57] Speaker A: If someone gave me a billion dollars, yeah. I could very easily spend a billion dollars. I don't think you could very easily. [00:01:03] Speaker B: How would you. And don't. And you're not just buying like, oh, I'm gonna buy island. Boom. Billion dollar spent. No. Or you're not gonna be like, oh, I invested a billion dollars and something. Boom, billion dollars spent. No, I'm talking about, like, legitly you had a billion dollars. And how are you going to spend all that? [00:01:23] Speaker A: I would chunk out a bit of the fucking, you know, poor people, you know, that don't have good jobs, help them get an education, pay for their fucking college. [00:01:34] Speaker B: So how much you going to put in on that? [00:01:37] Speaker A: I'd put, you know, probably $250 million into scholarship funds. That way, you know, people can, you know, get, you know, fucking educated. [00:01:51] Speaker B: All right. Like, you still have 75 million, 750 million. [00:01:55] Speaker A: Yes. You know, and, you know, the 250 million would go to people that, you know, are, you know, that really want to go to college and just can't afford it. And there are tons of tons of people like that, you know, really smart people that are just like, I can't, you know, afford to, you know, pay for this, this and this. So, yeah, that. That's what that go to. I'd probably spend another 250 million to take care of, you know, hunger, you know, like in the United States, you know, pull like a Mr. Beast and, you know, like, people that are fucking, like, starving that, you know, are working and like, they just pull. [00:02:30] Speaker B: Mr. Beast, before you say, go further with that statement, Mr. Beast also makes money off of his. [00:02:37] Speaker A: Yeah. Because he fucking films it. And he's like, look at what I. [00:02:39] Speaker B: Want to make sure that we're acknowledging when you say pull Mr. Beast, what we're talking about. [00:02:44] Speaker A: Yeah, no, he has to make money. Like, if he. If he wasn't making money. [00:02:48] Speaker B: So you're making your money back off doing that? [00:02:50] Speaker A: No, I. I wouldn't film it. [00:02:51] Speaker B: Okay, you just said, Pull, Mr. Beast. That's what I was. [00:02:55] Speaker A: But you. You understand, like, what. Pull Mr. Beast is like, you know, he, like, goes out and buys, like, an entire grocery store and, like, donates it to, you know, feeding, like, you know, people in need. [00:03:05] Speaker B: Buying an entire grocery store isn't 250. [00:03:08] Speaker A: Million, but, like, I would do that for, like, a lot more. You know, like, there is a lot of people on the poverty line that, you know, have to, you know, eat, like, fucking nothing. Like, Like, I. I am, you know, blessed over here that I can, you know, afford to go to the grocery store and spend 200 at the grocery store, and it's like, okay, that's. That's pretty cool. You know, I don't have much left after that, but, you know, it's like, you know, paycheck to paycheck. You know, I'm not, you know, like, okay, I'm gonna eat top ramen. I mean, I do eat top ramen in my hotel room and a lot of it, but that. That's how I save money in the long run. But, yeah, like, people that are, you know, have kids that they need to feed, and they're just, like, trying to make ends meet. I. I've met plenty of fucking people like that. They're just like, I'm just trying to get to next week. I'm just trying to do this, trying to do that. You know, boom. I'd spend another, you know, 250 million buying up single family homes and giving people reasonable rents. Like, I'd buy them from, like, you know, capitalists and just be like, hey, you know, guess what? You get to have a reasonable rent instead of having your rent go up every month and, like, I, you know, go around. You'd be surprised how fast you can, you know, blow through 250 million in houses. [00:04:43] Speaker B: Yeah, but we're talking. So if you're charging a reasonable rent, you're still making profit. [00:04:51] Speaker A: But I'm still spending the fucking billion. [00:04:53] Speaker B: Yeah, but you're getting it back. [00:04:55] Speaker A: Yeah, but, you know, not as fast. Oh, that'd be like 300 houses. And that's fine, you know, Or I can just make, hey, guess what? You know, for three months, you get free rent. That way you can, you know, eventually buy the house back from me, and then the last quarter million, you know, I would, you know, go buy myself like a big ass yacht, you know, go do all the evil capitalist shit, you know, go buy myself a big old piece of property, you know, a fucking private, you know, hangar, a plane, you know, go build me a bunker underground, get a shitload of guns, you know, probably go buy myself like a Atlas silo and boom, you know, billion dollars blown through quick. I mean, am I wrong here? I. I'm helping out the world. [00:05:57] Speaker B: No, because you're getting your. That money back. Is. You're not spending the billion then. [00:06:03] Speaker A: Okay, so for every, you know, bit that I get back, I've spent a billion, you know, and I own the houses and I own, you know, this. And I give in, like. [00:06:13] Speaker B: Yeah, but I'm saying though. So you spent that in. I'm. [00:06:17] Speaker A: Maybe I just, you know, spend a billion just, you know, helping, you know, kids with cancer. Like adults with cancer. Go fuck yourself. Kids with cancer, yeah, take care of y'all. You can go through a billion in, you know, the medical world really quick, you know, go pay off, you know, some student loans. You know, all the money I make back, you know, I just pay off, you know, student loans. Boom, boom, boom, boom. Like there. There was a whole movie based on this whole concept where like a dude had to like, you know, spend a million dollars or something like that, you know, and like. Or it's like there are two movies. [00:07:04] Speaker B: Like that one was with Eddie Murphy and the other one was an older white guy that he. Murphy. One was a remake. [00:07:10] Speaker A: Okay, yeah, but. [00:07:14] Speaker B: But yeah, two white guys bet on if they could spend it. [00:07:17] Speaker A: Yep, yep. You understand what I'm talking about? You know, could he spend, you know, this money and you know, he gets like 300 million if he is able to do it. But yeah, like easily can blow through a billion. [00:07:33] Speaker B: Part of that stipulation, though was you could have give it to charity, which. [00:07:37] Speaker A: Would be how you could get 5% to charity. [00:07:40] Speaker B: Yeah, that's still. Would it be. That's still more than that. [00:07:43] Speaker A: Oh, no, I want to be. I would run my own fucking thing. But you know, you didn't put any of those stipulations in. If you want me to, you know, spend a billion dollars and be an evil make, you know, maniac. Yeah, I could easily fucking do that. I'd go buy a whole. [00:08:00] Speaker B: I don't think the point is one human should have a billion dollars because that one human isn't going to be necessarily a philanthropist about it. And that $1 billion, that, that One human has. There's no way they're going to really spend it except for with greed or stuff. Otherwise. For living a normal day to day life and even having some luxuries, there's no way you would spend that billion dollars as a regular human. [00:08:31] Speaker A: I mean, I, I, I, very easily. I, I could. [00:08:35] Speaker B: Yeah, you, but you would have to be trying because like legitly even like there's people who've, I know there are people who've won the lotto and gone broke. I understand. I legitly do understand that. But a lot of the people who won the lotto also pay legit taxes with first. [00:08:52] Speaker A: Yeah. Pay like 50 tax. It sucks right off the top. Boom. Eat a dick. And if you decide to, you know, take, you know, the lump sum that you pay like another fee, Boom. [00:09:03] Speaker B: Yep. It comes out to like you. You get 30% of your winning. [00:09:07] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:09:08] Speaker B: So it's much easier to go broke from lotto winning. But anyways. [00:09:13] Speaker A: Well, I don't do lotto playing, so I'm not doing lotto winning. [00:09:18] Speaker B: But anyways, you, a normal human would. Normal house. Just a house. And we could be it. Average house. Right. How much do you think it costs a year for rent, mortgage, all that fun for mortgage? [00:09:40] Speaker A: I can tell you exactly how much it costs a year. [00:09:42] Speaker B: Okay. [00:09:42] Speaker A: 20,000. [00:09:43] Speaker B: Awesome. So you think what, a million dollars would cover that for your lifetime? No, no. Why? [00:09:51] Speaker A: I mean like I have to pay all my other bills, all my other. [00:09:54] Speaker B: No, no, we're just talking the mortgage. [00:09:57] Speaker A: Let me, let me do some, you know, quick math. Like I, I think I like, you know, put it out and it was like 2 million. I can live comfortably for the rest of my life. [00:10:06] Speaker B: There we go. So 2 million. So why do you need a billion then? Why would any normal human need a billion? And then 2 million is the minimum. So let's just say you, you had 100 million perfect every. I'm not saying that you shouldn't make money. I'm just saying there should be a limit on how much money you have. [00:10:24] Speaker A: So what? Change the tax code to where you know, the second you make over a certain amount of money, you're now working for nothing. [00:10:33] Speaker B: No, you're just working for 10%. [00:10:37] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:10:37] Speaker B: So. [00:10:37] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:10:38] Speaker B: So you have, you make a billion bucks right now. Now you make a billion. [00:10:42] Speaker A: I, I immediately see a loophole in this. You know what I would do is I would, you know, like if I owned a company and I made, you know, my money. Cool. You know, now this guy over here is making my Money. And on the back end, he's paying me again. [00:11:01] Speaker B: We're reforming the tax laws too. I don't know exactly how to reform. Well, I mean, but like, you're working within the current tax system and like you said in the beginning of this, I want to reform it because I think you're right. There are a lot of loopholes. There are a lot. And so I'm not saying that or what we have is perfect right now. That's why I don't want to work within it. I want to think outside of the box and be able to think of, like, this is what could happen now to make this happen. Let's figure out what needs to happen. [00:11:31] Speaker A: I can tell you this right now. Like, taxes just need to be abolished altogether. Just, you know, boom, fucking IRS gone. Dissolve the entire thing and then rebuild it, you know, back. Okay, you know, everyone that lives in this section, you know, or in this state, you know, this is the budget for, you know, fixing the roads, you know, and you get to vote on what roads you want fixed. And then, you know, everyone that pays taxes in that state now has to pay, you know, that amount. And so you can, like check boxes and. [00:12:05] Speaker B: Yeah, but okay, this is where like we go back to, like the bad history of America with redlining. And we'll have back to neighborhoods that are predominantly non white that is getting less representation for those taxes for their roads being built. Or you could have the opposite effect because typically non white neighborhoods are more populated. So then those white streets, even though it's never going to happen, get outvoted and they won't be able to get their roads fixed. [00:12:39] Speaker A: I mean, I'm not white. [00:12:42] Speaker B: I know. I didn't say that you were. I don't understand where that, where does that come from? [00:12:49] Speaker A: I mean, like, you're over here, like the white streets. I mean, like, yeah, like we're getting. [00:12:54] Speaker B: Did I say your streets? Did I say your brother's street? Like, like, like, did I say your son, Dodger Street? No. [00:13:02] Speaker A: I feel like, you know, certain, like the worst streets should be prioritized. So everyone that lives in Colorado now has to pay this, you know, towards the roads. You know, don't call it a tax, you know, call it a road fee. [00:13:20] Speaker B: So we're just changing the name. [00:13:22] Speaker A: Changing the names to make everything feel better? Yes. I mean, people call fucking guns Pew. Pews. [00:13:31] Speaker B: Sound cooler anyways. Who. Who's going to regulate where this is voted in? You said you want to abolish the government too, right out of this. So how I said the taxes. [00:13:43] Speaker A: I didn't see nothing about the government. I love my president. [00:13:46] Speaker B: Okay, so you want strong government. That's what you're about. I. I would love government telling you what to do. [00:13:55] Speaker A: They already do. Pay these taxes, go to work. You know, be my bitch. Yes. Master Trump, you know, he, like, the whip is just changed into taxes now. You know, it's like, you know, keep in line. Pay those taxes. Yes, yes. And if you don't, it's like, oh, now you're gonna go to fucking hell. IRS is gonna come in. They're. They. They want to give irs. Like, irs, I think, has guns. And I like, when. I, like, arm them now so they can come in and fuck you up. [00:14:31] Speaker B: All right, I'm giving you this shock look for two things. One, if you just follow the through lines of the analogies you just made, right, you went from slavery, whatnot, to taxes, right? [00:14:43] Speaker A: Mm. Yeah. [00:14:45] Speaker B: What do we do with slavery? We abolished it and reformed it. What am I trying to do with taxes? Abolish it. Reform it. [00:14:53] Speaker A: But I'm saying, you know, it's back just in a new form, and. And for everybody, like, you know, all the lower class and all the middle class are now the slaves. Skin color no longer has a fucking play in it. [00:15:04] Speaker B: It still has a play in it. [00:15:06] Speaker A: I mean, you just have, like. You're just playing on a harder mode. [00:15:09] Speaker B: You know, so it has a play in it. [00:15:14] Speaker A: I mean, you just have to, like. [00:15:16] Speaker B: There's difficulty modifier, is what you're saying. [00:15:18] Speaker A: Only for police. [00:15:20] Speaker B: No, for opportunity. [00:15:26] Speaker A: I mean, no, you don't have, like, I. I've never met, you know, someone that's, like, you know. Yeah, I was just given. Except for, like, rich people, obviously, but, like, anyone that's, like, worked hard for what they've wanted, you know, like, opportunities weren't just handed to them. They had to go, you know, do it. Like, I, you know, for, you know, what I have now, I had to move, you know, from California, be homeless in a car with my best friend, you know, in North Dakota and suffer out there. You know, that wasn't an opportunity handed to me. That was, you know, I had to go out there and fight for it. And then I had to, you know, move down to Colorado. And then, you know, I, you know, back to being homeless again. No opportunities were handed to me. I had to fight for it. Like, I had to, you know, go in and be like, okay, I'll do this, this, and this and this, and be your little bitch. And then, boom. And I Feel like anybody, regardless of skin color, you know, can have, you know, great opportunities, you know, that they go out and get. It's like praying for something to happen to you. [00:16:37] Speaker B: Being homeless, you've waiting on this side of the street asking for change. Who are you going to give the change to? The colored guy, the white guy, White girl? [00:16:47] Speaker A: None of them. I don't care. I don't care if you have a dog, Nothing. [00:16:51] Speaker B: I don't care so much. [00:16:52] Speaker A: I don't care if you have a baby. You know, I, I put you in my A frame and I ignore you. [00:16:58] Speaker B: What the fuck is wrong with you? [00:17:01] Speaker A: Like, you know, get a job. Like, I understand it's fucking difficult and, you know, that's why I support, you know, stuff like wic. I'm like, okay, cool. You know, women, infants and children. Yeah, go ahead and give these, you know, poor bastards some money. That way they can survive. But you know, get a job. My mom was able to do it. You know, my mom is a single mother. Growing up, you know, we lived in a one bedroom apartment, you know, wasn't comfortable at all times. But guess what? She fucking empowered through, you know, went to, you know, college online, you know, got degrees and you know, started her own business. And I'm like, good, proud of you. [00:17:41] Speaker B: Your experience isn't everyone's reality. Like, yeah, I mean, lots of. Go ahead. [00:17:47] Speaker A: It, it, it's not an easy thing to, you know, like work every day. You just have to, you know, power through and hope that there's, you know, a brighter future ahead and just be like, okay, I can't do this, I can't do that. You know, I have to, you know, keep my nose clean and, you know, but people will go out and commit crimes and then, you know, get caught by the police and be like, what? I don't have any opportunities. It's like you took them away from yourself. You know. [00:18:25] Speaker B: So wouldn't it be easier to provide universal health care and housing for people so those crimes aren't committed? Since most crimes are committed because of crime of poverty. Aren't we supposedly the richest country in the world? Are supposed to be, Aren't we supposed to be the fucking beacon? [00:18:50] Speaker A: Well, we're the richest company. We're the richest country in the world because of the 1%. Thank you, 1%. Thank you, billionaires that live here. That's awesome. You know, you, you skewed it that way. You know, we look like we're the richest. You know, we have 1% of the population that's the richest and they are richer than most of the world. It's like, you know, the wage gap between men and women, it's like it doesn't actually exist. There's stay at home moms and their wage technically is zero because, you know, they don't bring in any money and they don't pay any taxes. But, you know, they do provide value at the same time as being a stay at home mother. [00:19:28] Speaker B: There is a true thing of. Wait, what the fuck is wrong with you? How do you. How is that not a thing? How do you not believe there's not a wage cap? [00:19:40] Speaker A: There's not. Like, if women got paid less than men, why wouldn't every employer only hire women? Why wouldn't every job in the world just be all women all day? [00:19:54] Speaker B: The same reason is why women had to fight to get into CEO positions and other stuff because women have to prove themselves otherwise. Most people aren't going to hire incompetent people no matter what the. What's it called wage difference is when we're talking people in leadership roles. [00:20:17] Speaker A: Yeah, my boss is a woman. You know, she started probably like maybe three, four months ago. You know, I've been there for 10 years. I recommended her. I'm like, she is a good fit for this position, you know, because she's willing to step up and do what is necessary and you know, like, cool, you know, put her in, you know, the boss position. Now she's above me. If, if she needs me to, you know, go out and do something, I have to, you know, say yes, ma'am and go do it, you know, but like, but she doesn't get paid less than me. I've been working there, you know, 10 years. She gets paid more than me. Again, our HR manager woman, you know, we, we have a lot of females in, you know, this trucking, you know, industry. [00:21:17] Speaker B: How many females are the owners? [00:21:22] Speaker A: Well, there's one owner of the company and it's a dude. [00:21:27] Speaker B: Yeah, we're talking the trucking industry. You just quoted tons of females in the trucking industry. You didn't say my trucking job. You said the trucking industry. [00:21:36] Speaker A: Trucking industry. Yeah. [00:21:38] Speaker B: How many females are owners of trucking industry? [00:21:42] Speaker A: A lot, actually. [00:21:43] Speaker B: Huh? [00:21:44] Speaker A: They're owner operators. They own their own trucks. They make $300,000 a year. They're just, you know, willing to go get it. You know, being a trucker is. [00:21:54] Speaker B: I'm not saying the owner operator of one truck. We just. You quoted your boss for as a CEO, because I'm talking like the CEO of a company. Trucking industry. [00:22:06] Speaker A: Let's see female CEOs of trucking companies. Let's see. Several female CEOs are leading truck trucking companies and logistic companies. Notable examples include Carol Tambray, CEO of ups Shelly Simpson, President and CEO of JB Hunt Transportation Services. The two biggest ones in America. [00:22:36] Speaker B: Is there a percentage in that they. I'm not talking because it doesn't matter if, like, because we had Kathleen Kennedy as fucking president or like running Star wars in Disney, we wouldn't. [00:22:51] Speaker A: Joyce Brenny, CEO of Enter of Brenny Trans Pam Dave Baldwin Owner of Cross Country Trucking School Ellen Voice Voy Founder and President CEO of Women in Trucking association yeah, there's a bunch of women out there, you know, driving trucks all day. Like people think, oh, it's a trucking job and it's only going to be, you know, male truckers out there. And it's like, no, I've met quite a few female truck drivers. [00:23:27] Speaker B: 28% owners. [00:23:29] Speaker A: The seat, like you can have one truck. [00:23:32] Speaker B: No, no, 28%. So now with that same percentage, how many percentage of women are there in the world or in America? You would say 50. 50, right? [00:23:45] Speaker A: I'd say 49. [00:23:47] Speaker B: Okay, 49. 49. Somewhere around there. Cool. So that's still like only a quarter of that. So there's 75%. Three. Three times the dudes that are man. And we're talking how is that not. [00:24:05] Speaker A: Like, if I own one truck, One truck, that's all I need. I can start a company, you know, an llc and be the CEO of that company. I know plenty of truckers like this that own one truck. And now they're the CEO of a company, you know, just because they own one truck, they can own like a 1972 Freightliner, you know, so fucking putting around. I'm the CEO of this company. [00:24:40] Speaker B: This percentage is C suite executives, including board of directors. Functional, I guess, professional drivers, I'll give you that. And so it's only a quarter of it. [00:24:54] Speaker A: It's so like, I would say the majority of the trucks on the road are owner operators. You know, like people don't like to go out and work for these, you know, super companies like Swift or J.B. hunt or, you know, the fucking, you know, the Schneider fucking company. They're fucking big ass orange trucks or, you know, fucking any of that. Like it sucks because you fucking make less money and you make way more money if you run your own truck because you have your own rules and you don't answer to nobody and you just you know, get your own loads. [00:25:32] Speaker B: So for your federal laws. [00:25:35] Speaker A: What do you mean? [00:25:36] Speaker B: Don't you have like federal laws of drive, how many hours you could get the road and stuff like that? No. [00:25:41] Speaker A: Yep. And if you. Every truck on the road has to have ELD of the rods, the record duty service. But. [00:25:52] Speaker B: I will say, though, I'll admit when I'm wrong. The CEOs of Fibo Truckers, we said 28 CEOs of the Fortune 500. 10%. [00:26:05] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean, like, so I'll admit. [00:26:08] Speaker B: What I'm wrong on the percentage of like, whatnot. But like, therefore it still shows that without these laws and stuff that we would. It's harder for people. That, and therefore your race, your age and all that does play an effect on. [00:26:29] Speaker A: Yeah, your age should play an effect. Like, you know, we, we, we don't hire people to go out of state unless you are over 21 years old. Yeah, that, that is just a natural thing that we do. We, we don't, you know, hire 100 year olds to, you know, drive a truck. You know, like, if you have, you know, age things that will fuck you up, then. Yeah, like, why would you hire you? Like, if you have diabetes, you can't fucking be driving a truck that can shut you the fuck down. If you have bad vision, you can, it can fuck you up. Like every two years I have to go into a doctor's office, you know, and prove that I am healthy enough to drive a truck. And if I cannot do that, and they're like, hey, this is something that's fucked up with you. Like, you need to change this, then they can send you back out and then you have to go get a waiver. Like, not a whole lot of people know, you know, all the ins and outs of, you know, the trucking industry, but that is the one thing I know. And, you know, the people that are ahead of me in the company, that are above me in the company, you know, there's a lot of females there, but, you know, do they want the job? You know, is the other question you need to ask yourself is like, hey, you know, lady, like, would you want a job as a CEO? The most stressful fucking position there is around, you know, and I feel like now it is taking a shift. Like, how many, you know, females ran for the presidency before Hillary did? You know, like, you're allowed to go run. And I feel like, you know, you know, boss bitch, you know, girl power, you know, all that has, you know, kind of come in and that, that's great. And I have no problem working for a woman at all. It's just, you have to be willing to, you know, step up and actually do what is necessary. [00:28:52] Speaker B: Moving on. [00:28:53] Speaker A: Yeah, moving on. This was about taxes anyway. [00:28:55] Speaker B: Yep. [00:28:56] Speaker A: Yeah. Like, if, like, a. There's a female that, like, worked hard her entire life, like, you know, like, Marie Curie. You know who that is? She's, like, the lady that, like, discovered, like, radiation and shit. Okay, I might be saying her name wrong. She's, like, a French scientist that, like, you know, she had, like, the Nobel peace Prize and all kinds of craziness. Her coffin is still radioactive. And I. I could be, you know, completely wrong. But should she, you know, have a billion dollars, you know, should someone that, you know, creates, like, you know, something amazing for the world get a billion dollars? [00:29:42] Speaker B: You can get up to a billion. [00:29:44] Speaker A: But, like, could you get more? [00:29:46] Speaker B: No. You won life. [00:29:48] Speaker A: It's like, you win life. Everything's for free now. [00:29:51] Speaker B: It pretty much is at a billion, except for, again, if you're buying lucrative shit, like, oh, yeah, we're gonna go ahead and. [00:30:00] Speaker A: But buying lucrative shit fucking stimulates the economy and helps those companies that are selling the lucrative shit fucking, you know. [00:30:08] Speaker B: You know, buying islands does not stimulate the US Economy. [00:30:14] Speaker A: Yeah, but if you buy an island, you know, cool. You have an island. What are you gonna do with it? Are you gonna build on it? Oh, guess what. You have to hire people. Unless you're gonna do it all yourself. But you're a billionaire. Of course you're not gonna do that. You know, oh, what else do you want on this island? You want electricity, infrastructure, you know, cool things? Guess what? You're gonna, you know, go and buy those things. You have to stimulate some economies. You have to, you know, hire some people to come on over. You're gonna fly them over, you know, and not a whole lot of people buy islands. And honestly, if you buy an island, I. I feel there's something sus with you. Like, you know, Epstein kind of. That all up for y'all. Like, if it wasn't for Epstein, you know, going out there and doing what he did, I'd be like, all right, yeah, go ahead and buy an island. But now this goes out, and, you know, it's like, hey, you know, billionaires. You want to come? Like. Like, okay, yeah, maybe like that. That. That. I've, like, talked myself out of it. You know, billionaires, like, touching kids. I'm like. Like that. That's, like, the one thing that, you know, billions of dollars buys you. Luckily, Elon Musk is too autistic to even like, you know. [00:31:22] Speaker B: So you chucked yourself out of billionaires. [00:31:26] Speaker A: I mean, like, you know, like pedophile billionaires. Like, yeah, I'm like, boo, down with y'all. But Elon Musk, you know, there's no, you know, nothing that he went over there to Epstein's Island. Release the Epstein files. I want to know everything. [00:31:44] Speaker B: Trump's been over there. [00:31:48] Speaker A: Yeah. So there's a lot of people. Like, like. [00:31:55] Speaker B: So only certain people that have been over there is bad. Not everyone. That's what we're going with right now. [00:32:01] Speaker A: Ghislaine Maxwell was over there. She's a woman. [00:32:06] Speaker B: She was also. [00:32:09] Speaker A: Where the fuck is she? Is she in prison still? [00:32:11] Speaker B: As far as I know, she is good. [00:32:15] Speaker A: Like, I feel like they, like, executed her, like, silently. And they're like, next time, don't fucking say shit. [00:32:22] Speaker B: You know that Weinstein might get out. [00:32:26] Speaker A: Who cares? Like, he's old. Like, have you seen videos of him? [00:32:30] Speaker B: So then why don't we just release all old prisoners? [00:32:33] Speaker A: Not a bad idea. Yes. [00:32:36] Speaker B: This is why I'm talking. Let's be in the middle on some things now. [00:32:40] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean, like, fucking, you know. [00:32:43] Speaker B: So what's the age? Or is it. Or is it just physical frailty or is it like appearance frailty that we're talking for, like, releasing? Because it would be one of those. [00:32:55] Speaker A: You could fake, you know, the physical. You can fake frailty very easy. [00:33:00] Speaker B: So then is it just eight? [00:33:02] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:33:03] Speaker B: So what's your age, cuz? How old is Weinstein? [00:33:08] Speaker A: Fucking probably like 85. [00:33:09] Speaker B: Let's see the whole Cosby. [00:33:14] Speaker A: Is he back in jail? [00:33:16] Speaker B: Oh, he is out, huh? [00:33:18] Speaker A: I'm like, I thought he was out. [00:33:20] Speaker B: Yeah, the guy should have stayed in jail. Is he out? Why is he out? [00:33:25] Speaker A: Because he served his time. He. Cosby was nice to kids. I'm like, you. You get like some points there. But it's like, dude, at the same time, like, after finding out, you know, you went and drugged women and raped them and like, dude, you could have just asked. You know, you could ask a woman, hey, can I, you know, put these in your drink and then rape you later? And if she just said yes, you'd have been fine. Or had someone do it on, like, the fucking down low for you back. Hey, you know, fucking Cosby wants to have sex with you, but he's weird. [00:34:00] Speaker B: And he has 73. [00:34:01] Speaker A: He has like this weird fetish and he likes to, like, put drugs in your drink. Like, can he do that? He's like. And so he's like, yeah, I love the Cosby show. Then, yeah, it should be fine. [00:34:18] Speaker B: I disagree with you on moral theory. Dance. [00:34:20] Speaker A: I know what. What he did was awful. Boo Cosby. But, yeah, he's out of but. Yeah. So you said wine season. [00:34:29] Speaker B: 73. [00:34:30] Speaker A: 73. I would say 85. 85 is the age that you just release them. If they've survived to 85 years old, boom. [00:34:41] Speaker B: Why 85? Why not 80? [00:34:45] Speaker A: Because, like, at 85, you're, like, you know, like, almost dead. [00:34:52] Speaker B: Yeah, but I mean, like, both. Both of those times, too, where I'm talking, like, even 80. How are you going to release them with a free housing and whatnot? [00:35:04] Speaker A: Oh, no. [00:35:05] Speaker B: Or like. Or like you said, you're just not going to hire old people, so therefore it's, sorry, guy. [00:35:11] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:35:12] Speaker B: You're now out on the street living under a cardboard box. [00:35:15] Speaker A: Obviously, if they're in jail, like, at 85, like, they're gonna stay in jail for the rest of their fucking lives. And it's like, hey, you know, you now have to be homeless at fucking 85. You better hope that you made some friends in there. Your family actually does love you. [00:35:32] Speaker B: You're. [00:35:33] Speaker A: Yeah, no, they're gonna suffer on the streets, and it's hilarious. [00:35:36] Speaker B: What? [00:35:37] Speaker A: Very heartless. Yes. I'm a mean man. What the. [00:35:41] Speaker B: Oh, my God. [00:35:42] Speaker A: Yeah, you better hope I never get presidency. [00:35:47] Speaker B: All I'm saying is that's. [00:35:50] Speaker A: Yeah, people in jail are in jail for a reason. [00:35:54] Speaker B: Not everyone in jail is fucking guilty. [00:35:57] Speaker A: Yeah, man. [00:35:58] Speaker B: Most of them are fucking guilty of poverty crimes, which, if we, as the richest country the world would be able to provide, such as, like, countries we're always looking to, like, you know, Norway and Sweden and other countries like that, then we would fucking provide housing for our people, and we will provide food for our people. So we wouldn't have those issues. [00:36:22] Speaker A: Yeah, but the one thing that everyone forgets is the population of, like, Norway. You know, here. Here's the population in Norway. 5.52 million. So a country the size of Colorado, that's all they have to take care of for the entire country. Colorado, we have 330 million. We have a lot more than Norway. So if you only had. If your country only had to take care of Colorado and that was their only thing, they could easily do that. Like, I love it when people, you know, compare America to other countries that are way smaller. It's like, yeah, this is a country the size of Connecticut. You know, like, why are we comparing ourselves over there? They have way less people to take care of and they can easily manage it all. Like they all know each other and they're all fucking friends and so obviously they don't shoot each other. [00:37:21] Speaker B: I understand that I was using what the right likes to use, Norway and Sweden because I personally would, would use China, which is the boogeyman of the devil right now. But they actually have affordable housing. They have food and stuff. They have the, the issues or not the issues that we have. [00:37:46] Speaker A: And they have Chinese living like, like, you know, everyone like sees like, like this and like, oh yeah, these are, you know, this is nice fucking living. And like they don't see like the fucking giant tall fucking, you know, living accommodations, like the giant 30 story fucking buildings with rickety elevators and fucking crying babies everywhere and whole bunch of fucking violence and you know, despair. [00:38:15] Speaker B: That's the inner city of any of America with crying babies. Despair. Just instead of having 30 story high rises of it, we have a bunch of ten story and five story high rises. [00:38:34] Speaker A: Let's see, poverty. I mean like this is what China is like, you know, in poverty stricken areas, you know, just, you know, it kind of sucks. [00:38:47] Speaker B: Have you seen rural America? Those poverty stricken America there? Have you seen Alabama? Have you seen fucking Arkansas? [00:38:56] Speaker A: Yeah, of course I have friends that you know, live in Alabama. [00:39:03] Speaker B: Right. I have family that lives in Arkansas in small towns that used to have factories that don't no longer have that. [00:39:11] Speaker A: So yeah, have the billionaires bring it all back. Bring back the factories and you know, or like the fucking, what is that comedian's name? God damn his big old fat guy. Kinison. Sam Kinison. You know, go to where the food is, you know. Oh, you know, see this, this is a desert. Nothing's here. Move to where the food is. Yeah, it's gonna suck for a bit, you know, get in your car, drive, you know, be homeless for a bit, you know. [00:39:43] Speaker B: And not everyone can live homeless, my man, I understand that you did it. Not everyone can. People that have health issues, people with disabilities, people that have kids, people that have pets, it's hard to do that. It's almost impossible to do that, especially if you have to also have kids of school age too. It is, it is really hard to do something like that. [00:40:10] Speaker A: So. Okay, here, here's another. [00:40:12] Speaker B: And why are we putting the Otis on? Well, we got. You should move. Sorry. Good luck. Be homeless instead of providing housing and support for this. [00:40:24] Speaker A: Well, like how good of housing would you want the government to provide, you know, like FEMA housing, you know, some trailers, you know, do you want them to give out? You Know, houses. [00:40:36] Speaker B: The minimum is trailer park housing. [00:40:39] Speaker A: Minimum is trailer park housing. [00:40:41] Speaker B: The minimum is trailer park housing. [00:40:43] Speaker A: You know, even though people that work out in the oil field have to, like, live in man camps, and people. [00:40:48] Speaker B: In the oil field should have trailer park housing, too. That's what the minimum is. The minimum is everyone has this. So, yes, the people who work in the oil field absolutely should have that as minimum. [00:41:07] Speaker A: I mean, I feel like, what's wrong with that? Like, why not give everyone, like, a mini Winnie, like, you know. [00:41:15] Speaker B: No, no, no. What's wrong with the minimum trailer park housing? [00:41:19] Speaker A: I mean, like, I feel like that's just too much, like, for, like, a family. Why is that too much for, like, an individual? It'd be too much. [00:41:26] Speaker B: Why? [00:41:28] Speaker A: Because, like, some of these trailers are nice. [00:41:32] Speaker B: Oh, God. So the poor is just getting by too good. Is that what it is? So, like, if I would have said actual house, you'd be like, no one should get housing like that. They should get. At most, they should get apartment housing. Like, what the fuck? Why? [00:41:49] Speaker A: Well, I mean, like, you know, why not, like, combine some people? Like, you know, like, take like a trailer and be like, you know, boom. You know, you have a shared living space. I mean, you're. You're going to be homeless or you have to, you know, share, like, a trailer with someone that has been, you know, background checked and, you know, everything's good. [00:42:08] Speaker B: And, you know, just because you've been background checked does not mean everything is good. [00:42:14] Speaker A: Or if you want to, like, move in with your friend, then you can just go do that. Make, boom. You know, you and your friend get it. [00:42:20] Speaker B: So now, now it's cool to have a party house, but not with, like, you as an individual just can't. [00:42:26] Speaker A: If you have a party house, if you had throw parties and, you know, break the rules and disrespect the free shit that, you know, the government gives you, then you get kicked out. [00:42:38] Speaker B: And so then we're back to, sorry, dude, you're just homeless. [00:42:43] Speaker A: You know, maybe don't be like, fucking Ricky from Trailer Park Boys and you'll be fine. Like, if you're like, I'm not gonna have a party. [00:42:52] Speaker B: I don't even know who Ricky from Trailer Park Boys is. [00:42:58] Speaker A: The fucking dude, the main character. Have you ever seen Trailer Park Boys? [00:43:01] Speaker B: No. That's why this reference doesn't help. [00:43:04] Speaker A: Oh, you've never seen Trailer Park Boys? Okay, no. So the entire show is pretty much just shot in a trailer park, and it's just antics of a fucking trailer park. And when I used to live in a trailer park. Favorite show. [00:43:18] Speaker B: That's fair. I used to live in trailer park. So. [00:43:21] Speaker A: So yeah, like everything that you would see like in a trailer park, like fucking, you know, the, the fucking like super or whatever the fuck you would call them. Like the landlord. [00:43:33] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:43:34] Speaker A: He was like always drunk and always hanging out with his friend Randy, who never wore a shirt ever. He was like a big old fat guy. He's like. And all right, come on, Randy. And like every day like Mr. Lee, he would be like drunk. [00:43:50] Speaker B: We lived in different trailer parks. [00:43:53] Speaker A: Did you like live in like a nice trailer park now? [00:43:56] Speaker B: I had a mean old lady that was like the attendant that had a cat and she was super angry and yeah, everyone avoided her. And everyone also let everyone know like when she's walking or like on that cart around. [00:44:14] Speaker A: Yeah, you know, they, they had the little, you know, cart and they'd like always try and call the cops on Ricky and he'd get arrested all the time. And you know like they try to like grow dope in like one of the trailers and it's Canadian trailer park, so the trashiest people in trailer parks. [00:44:33] Speaker B: Yeah, I just didn't have a person that had the no shirt on that was the suit or not suit, but the friend of the suit. Yeah, no, like cuz she didn't have any friends. She was very angry. [00:44:49] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean just like the random fucking dogs will be running around all the time. [00:44:55] Speaker B: Cops always there randomly once a month. You'll start smelling some shit that you know is cooking. [00:45:00] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, Yep. Like they didn't get too much like the like the mass and speed and shit like that like just stayed with like marijuana and like, you know, like there's Bubbles who was like kind of like a dorky kid that like, that loved his kitties. Oh man, you should watch this fucking show. It's a good show. [00:45:18] Speaker B: There was one person that everyone knew was the thief of the place. [00:45:23] Speaker A: Yeah, there's like two like, you know, dumbass kids that just, you know, did whatever they were told. Cory and Trevor, you know, it is a good fucking show. Like Trailer Park Boys highly recommend it. [00:45:37] Speaker B: How do we get on this subject? [00:45:39] Speaker A: Because we're talking about how trailer parks should be the man. [00:45:42] Speaker B: Yeah. Back to that. That should be the minimum. You, you shouldn't be home. There's no reason to be homeless and like you're out in the cold. [00:45:52] Speaker A: Well, I mean, like, why couldn't like, you know, hey, you get to live in a trailer but you know, you have to share this trailer with somebody else. So you still get a bathroom because it's unsafe. [00:46:06] Speaker B: Let me get some water. I'll be right back. [00:46:08] Speaker A: Get some water. And we are back. But yeah, like, you, you could, you know, allow people, like, mingle. Like, I, I, I, I came up with this idea when I was driving one day, you know, and had, like, liberal thoughts. And it would be a, you know, pretty much like a warehouse. And, you know, you'd get like a bunch of rooms, you know, kind of like, like a storage facility type. [00:46:46] Speaker B: They have this in New York, do they? [00:46:49] Speaker A: Yes, but, like, you know, you can get in for free if you want to come on in, come on in, get in for free. You know, you get a bed, you know, a tv, you know, a place to charge your. And like, there's shower stalls, like in like a central, like, you know, private shower stalls, you know, not like a giant shower room. And like, you know, like, like bathrooms, like in a, like a public restroom, you know, kind of in the middle. [00:47:20] Speaker B: The roof was all wired. They have lights to turn off and on. It's like a little. [00:47:26] Speaker A: Yeah, it's like a little, you know, like your own little. [00:47:29] Speaker B: Yeah, no, it's a terrible idea. [00:47:30] Speaker A: It's a great idea. [00:47:32] Speaker B: Like, it's a terrible idea. [00:47:33] Speaker A: Why is it a terrible idea? [00:47:35] Speaker B: Because you should. [00:47:37] Speaker A: It keeps the people off the streets. And then, like, at the beginning of the day, like, they cook, like a continental breakfast, you know, and then they're like, hey, who wants to work today? Who wants to, you know, you know, try and make some money to get their, you know, way out of here? We have, you know, this many jobs today, this many roles to fill, and, you know, people can beg, volunteer back. I want to do this, I want to do that. You know. [00:48:02] Speaker B: Are you paying them a living wage. [00:48:06] Speaker A: During the jobs? Yeah, like, like. [00:48:10] Speaker B: And it's free rent. [00:48:11] Speaker A: Free rent? Yes. [00:48:12] Speaker B: All right, I'll give you this. I will meet you in the middle. I disagree still. Obviously, you can hear it in my voice, and if you can see me, you can see it. But, like, oh, that's the bare minimum we could do. That's a bare minimum we as America could do. [00:48:27] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean, like, you, like, if you, you know, were, like, married or something, or had, like, a kid, you, you'd get, like, a little bit extra. You get like, a slightly bigger room and like a little side room for your kid. And, you know, like that. That's just how that would work. [00:48:50] Speaker B: But I still think we could provide a whole ass regular living situation. [00:48:56] Speaker A: Then why would I ever Get a job. I would quit my job today if I knew I can go, you know, be homeless and then get like a free place to live with my wife. If I can. I can like a free trailer from the government. Why would I ever continue working? [00:49:14] Speaker B: I would to have things to have amidities. [00:49:17] Speaker A: I just working under the table. I'd go commit crimes. I go commit crimes and steal from fucking rich people. And then I'd have stuff. And you know, also the free trailer like that, that's how me right now I am thinking I'm like, not a criminal anymore. But that, that's, you know, what comes through my head. It's like, why the fuck would I ever, you know, have a job ever again if I knew that the government was just giving out free trailers? [00:49:49] Speaker B: You should have free housing and free food. That's a bare minimum that if you're paying taxes as a citizen. That's the bare minimum. [00:49:57] Speaker A: Okay, so now, now we're paying taxes. [00:49:59] Speaker B: Homeless people, we're back to taxes. [00:50:01] Speaker A: Yeah, homeless people don't pay taxes. [00:50:03] Speaker B: No. [00:50:06] Speaker A: If you're homeless and you don't have. [00:50:07] Speaker B: A job, as in I, as in Tron, because I'm homeless, I don't pay taxes. But you, as in Alex, you work, so you pay taxes. So you should get free housing and food. And I should not. No, as a society, we all pay taxes. Right? So as a society, we should all have a base minimum of free housing, free food. [00:50:36] Speaker A: Yeah, they. They have that. [00:50:38] Speaker B: They don't have that. [00:50:40] Speaker A: Yeah, they do. There's a lot of people in it, actually. [00:50:45] Speaker B: What are you talking about? [00:50:47] Speaker A: Jail in prison? [00:50:49] Speaker B: We shouldn't have jail in prison. Here's the. Okay, check it out here. Now. Now here is a part where I. If you try to pin me down, I answer. I don't know how to answer this. Right. And this is just being talking because I understand societal issues and humanity issues don't always go hand in hand. Right. Yeah, I absolutely understand that. I am acknowledging that with this statement. Right. I do not think that we should have prisons, and I do not think that we should have mental institutions. But I do think that we should have a way to house those that are outside of social acceptabilities or norms. [00:51:35] Speaker A: Okay? Like, if we get rid of prisons and jails, people that commit heinous crimes, we should just kill them immediately. [00:51:43] Speaker B: No, that's not. Because what we should. The goal should be reform. The goal shouldn't be punishment. [00:51:52] Speaker A: The goal should be punishment. You did something wrong. Here's a punishment. You know, growing up, you did something wrong. You got spanked. [00:51:58] Speaker B: Cool. [00:51:59] Speaker A: Okay, you know, you got put in the corner. Cool. That's a little jail. That's a little spanking. You know, the spanking is a fine. The corner is jail. You know, now it's fucking grown up. Now you're grown up. Guess what, you do something wrong, go to jail. [00:52:12] Speaker B: I don't think that's the right punishment either for like raising a child as well. [00:52:17] Speaker A: But I mean like if you're like, if it's like a drug crime or like a non violent, you know, you didn't hurt nobody, you know, whatever, you know, crime, you know. Yeah, you shouldn't go to jail. You should be under house arrest. And like they should know everything that you're doing. Cool. No problem with that. You know, like you should still have. [00:52:36] Speaker B: Civil rights of like you do if you know everything I'm doing. Like okay, right now, right now this might be get me in trouble right now, but right now with my pro Palestine issues, if they in stance, if I would say stuff, they would be all like, we know everything about you, what you're saying and stuff. So we're going to disappear you. Like they've disappeared other. What's it called, people here under legal protections to be here. I don't think that's a thing we should do. [00:53:11] Speaker A: Well, I mean, you know, I don't. [00:53:13] Speaker B: Think the government should know everything you're doing. Even again if you're like, oh well, you're under house arrest. There's still certain liberties I should still have as a human. [00:53:24] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean here in America you have American rights. If you're not an American, you don't have those rights. You know, if you're here from, you know, Palestine or whatever, you know, you don't get the American rights. You get human rights for sure. You know, no problem with that. You know, the right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, whatever. But you don't get. [00:53:44] Speaker B: So you don't get the right to freedom of speech. No. What the is wrong with you? Why, why is that? How is that? What the. [00:53:55] Speaker A: The same, the same thing. Like if I go over to another country, like you have to obey by their laws. Huh? [00:54:02] Speaker B: And you have so there. [00:54:04] Speaker A: But I don't get. [00:54:04] Speaker B: No, no, no. There is no law of restricting speech in America. So therefore your freedom of speech, which is a American right, is also in implied law. Because again, there is no law on restricting speech except for hate speech and harassment. [00:54:28] Speaker A: Well, I mean like you cannot say the sentence, you know, like I want to kill the President. Like, obviously, you know, like, I, I use that in jest, but it's like, if you go out and, you know, threaten violence. Yeah. You're gonna, you know, you, you have the freedom of speech, not the freedom from consequence. [00:54:54] Speaker B: So, like, if the consequence of disagreeing with the US Government is being shipped off to El Salvador, which he has also floated for American citizens, you think. [00:55:08] Speaker A: They have floated it. They have thought about how they're going to do that. [00:55:14] Speaker B: You know, they're looking for legal ways to do that, which means that they're. [00:55:18] Speaker A: Trying, they're trying to get people that are terrorists, they are no terrorists, over to El Salvador. [00:55:26] Speaker B: What about the Maryland guy? That was. [00:55:28] Speaker A: The Maryland father. That's a terrorist that's being, that's being held in the. Like, why wouldn't El Salvador just let him go then? Like, the second he got there and be like, what the are you doing here? And deport him? If he's American, El Salvador should deport him back to America and say, hey, don't come back. [00:55:54] Speaker B: America should have deported him. [00:55:57] Speaker A: He was a gang member from Ms. 13. [00:56:00] Speaker B: He was not a gang member from FS 13. [00:56:03] Speaker A: His wife filed for restraining order on. [00:56:06] Speaker B: Him because this was a while ago and that was before because of previous relation that she had an abusive. She took that as a precaution. And then after that she didn't continue to press charges. There's been no issue since. Continue. [00:56:23] Speaker A: But it's like the second you, you, you know, want to join a gang, Ms. 13, which is a notoriously violent gang that traffics people, rapes them, murders them for fun, you know? Yeah. Get the out of the country. [00:56:37] Speaker B: Was it the Crips, The Hell's Angels? Weren't they all a gang that, you. [00:56:44] Speaker A: Know, and the FBI put them on like the top 10 most wanted. Same thing with the fucking jugglers. Yes. They fucking all got taken the fuck down. And it's like now they're under, you know, heavy scrutiny, you know. Do you think that the gang wars are happening over in LA anymore? No. Do you think I would get in trouble? Do you think you'd get in trouble for walking in the wrong area of LA wearing that shirt? You're wearing a red shirt that says not today and has Snoopy on it. [00:57:10] Speaker B: On why, calling me out, you know. [00:57:16] Speaker A: But like, you know, do you think that you would get shot or murdered for walking in the wrong area of la? [00:57:22] Speaker B: Depends on the time of day, you know. [00:57:25] Speaker A: Noon, lunchtime. [00:57:27] Speaker B: No, not that time, you know, but. [00:57:30] Speaker A: If, if you're out looking for trouble, trying to bang and like that. [00:57:33] Speaker B: Nine to eleven. Nine or later. Yeah, probably. [00:57:38] Speaker A: But yeah, that, like, there's not. [00:57:40] Speaker B: You can't just say but. Yeah, I'm just without. Are you acknowledging that, like, I have. [00:57:46] Speaker A: No problem with going out at, like, you know, midnight wearing a red shirt in la? [00:57:52] Speaker B: Depends on the part of la, because LA is huge. And. Are we talking like South Central or are we talking like Delta South Central again? Nah. [00:58:07] Speaker A: Now if I go out and, you know, wear like a blue shirt and bag Sue Woo and you know, like that and throw up gang signs, you know. Yeah. I'm looking for trouble. Looking to bang and like that. Yeah. The gangs are not out there to, you know, start. No. And get themselves, you know, the hammer brought down on them. You know, they're. They're looking there to sell their drugs, you know, run their empire and quiet in peace, you know, pimp their girls and all kinds of. And it's like. And then boom, you know, it, it, it's all done. And, you know, they're like, happy and they're cool. They're not out there killing people for fun. They're not out there hunting people down and, you know, murdering them and raping them and trafficking them. [00:58:58] Speaker B: I didn't say I was afraid to get, or I would be worried to get murdered, raped or trafficked. What type of 90s movies are we talking now? We're talking like, getting ran on and whatnot, then that's a different story. But. And that's what I'm talking about. But yeah, yeah. [00:59:21] Speaker A: I mean, like, if you're, if you're, you know, flying colors, you know, I, I don't get into any of that gang at all. [00:59:30] Speaker B: I couldn't tell from your lingo. Continue. [00:59:34] Speaker A: You couldn't tell from my lingo? Jesus Christ. Tron is white. So y'all know. [00:59:41] Speaker B: Yeah, super white, super white guy. [00:59:43] Speaker A: You know, police don't ever pull him over. [00:59:46] Speaker B: Fly for a white guy. [00:59:50] Speaker A: But I, I don't remember, like, how we got all the way over here to, like, LA and gangs, but let's see. All right, we're. We're gonna go ahead and. You know, in this episode, it started with Taxes goes off the Rails. And that's my favorite type of episode again. [01:00:15] Speaker B: Booter should exist. Want to put that out now? Taxes should go to the government so the government could provide basic ne, which is housing, food and medical, Medicare. [01:00:27] Speaker A: I would quit my job immediately. [01:00:29] Speaker B: Okay, that you should. [01:00:30] Speaker A: And then everyone in America quits their job. [01:00:33] Speaker B: I don't think everyone in America would just sit on their ass and quit their job. If they had trailer park housing, they had food, and they had medical care, I don't think everyone would quit working. Just saying. [01:00:47] Speaker A: I mean, like, go to areas that, like. Like, I want Andrew Yang to run his, you know, ubi. I. I want, you know, him to find a little town, and I want, you know, someone to give Andrew Yang a billion dollars. That way he can run UBI in this, you know, town. Everyone in this town that lives there currently, you know, gets ubi. You don't have to work anymore. [01:01:12] Speaker B: Oh, wait, hot take. Hot take on this statement. [01:01:16] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:01:16] Speaker B: So I am. I am not radical enough to say both, but I am radical enough to say one or the other. Either a free housing, medical care, and food, or ubi. But if UBI should still have free medical. But just want to say, I don't think, like, in case there's any confusion, I don't think you should get both. Free housing, medical, food, and ubi. I think it's one or the other. [01:01:45] Speaker A: Well, there's a great documentary out there by Michael Moore called Sicko. I don't know if you ever seen that. Tron. [01:01:52] Speaker B: Michael Moore. Also wide on Super Size Me, but continue. Well, I guess. Was that Michael Bourne? No, that was the other guy. Yeah. [01:02:01] Speaker A: This is. [01:02:02] Speaker B: That's why I said I. I take that back. [01:02:04] Speaker A: Yeah. So pretty much what he did was he took a bunch of, like, sick people, you know, from America over to Cuba, just, you know, brought them on over. You know, they were sick with, you know, certain things. They had to pay a bunch of fucking money for pharmaceuticals for, you know, got them, you know, into a Cuban hospital and, you know, got them the full workup. That way their doctors over there knew everything that was going on and could, you know, reaffirm everything that they needed. And, you know, like, one lady who's, like, paying, like, a hundred dollars, like a fucking pill or whatever, and, you know, the doctor's like, yeah, 25 for, you know, this pill. And she's like, $25. That's a great deal. It's like no cents, pennies. And it, like, destroys her. I'm like, yeah, so here in America, we pay too much. There's so much of a fucking markup here on pharmaceuticals here in America. We need in that shit. [01:03:05] Speaker B: Yeah. So we should have it for free. [01:03:07] Speaker A: Not free. [01:03:08] Speaker B: Yes. Check it out then. [01:03:09] Speaker A: Why would anyone ever develop a new drug? [01:03:11] Speaker B: Check it out. [01:03:12] Speaker A: Like, why would anyone fucking. You take out the incentive. [01:03:17] Speaker B: The government is paying for it. You are still getting. [01:03:21] Speaker A: How is it? How does the government get money, bro, taxes from us. We are paying for it. [01:03:29] Speaker B: Europe has free medical because they tax their citizens so their people don't have to pay as much. Check it out. I literally, literally this month, for whatever reason, they kicked me off of Medicare, right? So I don't. So my heart meds right now are $800 a month. I'm not going to get them because I don't, I can't afford them. Sorry. But you know what? I had them for free. For free with, with that. So again, go talk to a social. [01:04:04] Speaker A: Worker, get back on that. [01:04:05] Speaker B: We should totally have free medical care. [01:04:10] Speaker A: How about this? Instead of having the $800, you know, drop it down to like the $4 that it really costs and then charge that to you. Could you afford $4?00? [01:04:19] Speaker B: Why wouldn't the government that taxes me just let me pay a little bit more taxes and everyone can have it for free and everyone pays what it actually costs, which like you said, $4. [01:04:35] Speaker A: Because then everyone would get all their taken care of and hospitals will be overrun. Same thing is happening in Canada right now. Hospitals are fucking overrun and it's like, you know, fucking two weeks to go see a doctor for anything. [01:04:47] Speaker B: There will be an influx for a little bit. Then after that it'll be table. [01:04:51] Speaker A: Oh, Canada's had it forever. [01:04:52] Speaker B: Well, you know why there's. That would be that influx? Because there's so many people who have medical issues that don't get it taken care of because people can't afford it. And again, if people, if it was affordable and free, then people would be able to do that. As soon as we get everyone taken care of, it will taper off because not, we won't have to continue having the same amount of people of that influx because after that initial surge or two, it would be over. [01:05:25] Speaker A: I mean there, there are people that always think they're sick, but we're, we're going to go ahead and end it here. We'll be back next or in two weeks with another episode, you know, every other week. Episode. Boom. We'll figure out what we're going to do next week. It'll probably be another off the rails one like this. You know, I kind of enjoy this format, you know, or we just, you know, let the conversation flow. Kind of like a Joe Rogan of sorts. But see, I'll follow me on Instagram. Alex Truck. I don't give a shit. Don't. [01:06:03] Speaker B: Peace. Peace.
