I was trying to. OK, we're live here. Cool. I was trying to trying to find the link for you here. We wanted to do a link. Oh, but can't find it. Cool.

Opening the Live Stream and Testing the Setup

Now we're live, man. So, oh, gosh, we are starting. I'm so scared.

Cool. Welcome to Dead Men Walking podcast. We're going to do a live. Hello. Live episode tonight, right?

Who's out there? Just keep it loose. Hello, everyone. Should we do an official.

Intro or are we going to do a special live intro? What do you think we do? A song doesn't go ahead and go with ours. I was going to go with something ridiculous. But yeah, it's OK. All right, here we go.

We'll do the ready official start. OK.

It feels good. Yeah. Now, what was your alternative one? You got to do that with dead man.

You can't laugh while you do it. It's hard not to whenever we're doing this silly stuff. Come on, man.

You have that smooth, buttery voice.

Well, I have that a little bit of a. Throat stuff, sinus stuff going on right now.

It's going around. It's just my allergies.

You know how everybody's like, like you're in a store. Yeah. And you'd like just sneeze or you cough or something and you feel like you have to justify it every single time. You're like, well, don't worry, it's it's just it's just allergies.

Don't worry about it.

You know, so I went to a meeting a bit. It's like a business development court for Albemarle County. Yeah. And I'm there representing the county. I get to the community college that we have here locally.

And I start looking. There's like 150 people there. Me and one other guy don't have a mask on. Oh, someone goes, oh, yeah, the community college, the whole campus is still under mask mandate. Yeah. Right.

And I go, great. Well, I'm also getting over a cold, right? I tested myself, made sure I didn't have COVID, but I did have a cold. You probably hear it a little bit. My voice. And I'm sitting in this presentation with like a hundred other people.

It's like trying to hold it in about 20 minutes. And I go, I'm just leaving. This is ridiculous. I got so many side eyes. People were looking at me like I had the plague. Yeah. You know, it's just a cold, right?

It's just stuffy and a little bit of a cough. Exactly. So I just ended up walking out.

I mean, the other day I took my Claritin, but nobody else did. So it didn't work, you know? Yeah. I don't get it. No, it's it. Get it. I took my Claire. I took my Claritin, but everyone else around me didn't.

Oh, I didn't hear that part.

I'm sorry. Well, you know, like, like, you know, I'm sorry.

Well, the cookies, mandatory cookies.

Are we allowed to say that? I don't know. I get shadowed on the live stream if you say those words. But yeah, we are live streaming tonight, too. This is going to be a regular podcast in our weekly. If anyone's on tonight, watch it.

And Mike, does it tell you down there who it is if you click on that? No, it won't let me click on it. So I don't I don't know. Click, click, click, click, click. Oh, well, whatever. But this was going to be a my wife.

Hi, Mandy. Love you. Yeah, so I'm feeling six or seven here. It keeps us. But but that doesn't matter. What we want to do tonight is we just kind of want to keep this as a loose episode, kind of do current events.

I know there's so much stuff going on this week. Yeah, that we were like, maybe we should just do, you know, just kind of stuff going on in the news and talk about that. And if people want to comment on it, they can or, you know, we can talk about it.

Virginia’s Governor’s Race and Political Cynicism

But I did want to talk about that. I know we both brought up the Virgin Virginia governor's race. Yeah. Which was interesting because Glenn Youngkin was the Republican. And Virginia has been pretty Democratic now, supposedly for the last 18, 20 years, four presidential cycles or so.

And he beat Tim Terry.

Wait, Terry. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

McCartney, I don't know, Terry, Terry, time to go is what it is. Not going to not going to be governor anymore. But that was crazy because people like there's no way you can win. Exactly. Trump supported him and people are over Trump.

And then, well, it's just crazy because, well, I'm going to give my take on it. Yeah, go ahead. Say what you're going to say. Well, I was very cynical.

I was well, I was just going to say, I think I think a lot of people. Are starting to get to the point where they don't care about that on a on a platform, they don't care. About the Trump saga, you know, they want to know more about you and what you're running for, and it sounded like Terry just kept going after him just because he had Trump supporting him or what.

It seemed like I was seeing that a lot in the in the news. I don't know. I don't know if you're seeing it the same way I am. But no, it seems like, you know, I know that there are people out there that still can't stand Trump.

I get that. But I think that you're going to have to run on real issues anymore. You know, like right. Not just not just I can't stand Trump. And he was such a bad guy and he was racist. He was all these different things.

It's like, OK, well, what are you going to bring to the table? You know, so that's what it's coming down to. But anyway. No, that's good.

Don't don't say sorry. That's exactly right. Because Democrats have they always aren't running for what they're for. They're running for what they're against. And they did that with Trump and they did that even through the couple of presidential cycles, too, with George Bush back in the day.

Yeah, W. Yeah. But it was crazy because I think people now here's my cynical view on this. I've been involved in politics for a long time. Local, state and some federal stuff. I've been interested in it since I was young in high school.

And I'm old enough now to start to become cynical. And you see, one, the political parties use the other party's position of power as a way to get reelected. And then once they get in, they don't do anything.

This goes for Republicans and Democrats. Right. And I identify as conservative, probably libertarian on some things. I'm elected as a Republican because that's the party I most closely align with their public platform.

Now, whether or not Republicans are, you know, obeying and abiding by their national platform. That's a whole nother episode. But the problem is, is that you can you can almost tell in 2022, which side note, we hadn't talked about this, but I reached out to Steve D.

Oh, Dase. Yeah, Steve. He said he's going to come on closer to the election. Oh, that's great. Election episode with us from Blaze TV. So that's cool. We'll get that lined up for you guys because you won't want to miss that.

But that's in the future. But as we go into 2022, we are going to see a shellacking of the Democrats because it flips every two years. And what it is, unfortunately, is the masses listen to one side and they hear the promises and they go, well, I don't like how things are now.

So let's flip it back from Dem to Republican, Republican to Dem, whatever it is. Right. And the party that's in the minority does a really good job. Both parties do. Republicans and Democrats do a really good job of saying, well, we're not in power right now, but when we are, boy, look at all this stuff.

Yeah, right. And then, you know, and now I take the cynical view of like, thank God they're both liars. Yeah. Because if either party did what they said they were going to do, we'd really be in. You know, it's almost good when Congress doesn't get along.

I'm to that point in my life. Yeah. I'm like, I almost rather you guys being a deadlock and fighting because then at least you're not passing ludicrous laws and upholding unconstitutional mandates. Yeah.

Both sides. Right. I'm going to get that out right now. Right. George W. Bush, I was against all of his executive orders. I was against the majority of Obama's orders. I was against the majority of Trump's executive orders.

I think it's an abuse of the executive branch. And I'm against Joe Biden. So like I've been consistent across the board on that. And that's the problem is you don't have a whole lot of consistent principled people in politics.

You have party people. Right. And some are more conservative on the Republican side. Some are more liberal, liberal on the other side, but not a whole lot of principled people who stand by the Constitution and go, oh, no, we can't do that as Republicans because it's.

Anti-constitutional, right, constitutional, you know, Democrats, you guys can't do that because it's unconstitutional. And it's this crazy thing where. Yeah, I you know, you see it flip back to Republican governorship in Virginia, but I'm kind of kind of pessimistic.

I don't know if it's going to get any better because who was it? I think it was Rod Martin who's been on the podcast before on his Facebook page that just remember where Glenn Young can come from. I mean, he's a you know, he's worth 300 million dollars.

He's he's big. He's big corporate. He's Wall Street. So you might get a lot of crony capitalism from him, which you tend to get used to only get from the Republican side. But now both the Dems and the Republicans are all all for crony capitalism.

Yeah. And corporate capitalism, which I disagree with. And we can always talk about that on a different episode, too. But yeah, it was crazy because no one thought he was going to win. No, a Republican in Virginia.

And you got you got to remember, there are so many things happening right now. I mean, and we we have covered a lot of this on the podcast. But the story that came out about the boy in the bathroom with the girl.

And in the bathroom, which one? OK, I'm just going to say it. I'm sorry, this boy that was had turned transgender. He raped a girl in the back. Oh, right, right, right. Yeah, that is the news this week.

And they did not do anything about it and sent him to another school. He did it again. So, you know, parents are obviously up in arms about a lot of situations right now. CRT, a lot of different things that the schools are forcing on kids, more or less, and trying to do slight of hand tricks with what they're trying to ask the kids and teach and promote and whatever.

And parents are starting to find out about a lot of this stuff. They're going to these these meetings, these parent, you know, teacher school board meetings and school board meetings and voicing their opinion, which they should because that's their child.

And and it seems like they're getting pushback even from the government side, just because, you know, they want to label them as domestic terrorists. Right. Right.

If I mean, it's like, yeah, under the memo written by the attorney general.

Yeah. And these these type of events. I mean, this is just it's just absolutely ludicrous. I mean, if if someone has an opinion, especially a father that went through that, you know, with his daughter, went through that.

And then he's just like, why did you guys not do anything? You know, right. Asking that question is is crazy. I mean, there's nothing crazy about that question. So it's it's been there's there's been some things that I think the new Republican governor stood up for.

And I think that a lot of people, you know, latched on to that.

But hopefully he does stand up for that. Exactly. Exactly.

And I mean, and I and I really think that a lot of this progressiveness is starting to get a lot more pushback. And I think that social media in some ways is not allowing some of it to cut through. But you can find it.

I mean, Ben Shapiro talks about things Crowder. I mean, even Rogan, you know, I mean, I don't agree with everything that Rogan says, but he's talking about, you know, how he doesn't agree with everything that's going on with the progressive side of politics right now.

Here's the crazy thing, dude, is our culture is so messed up that we don't latch on to things until it's too late. And the people who are talking about it before it happens, we just label them as crazy.

Right. Right. You look at Bode Backham, right? And you look at how he's been talking about like CRT and and cultural Marxism and all that stuff for like eight, nine, 10 years. Yeah. And we're like, oh, he's nuts.

It'll never come to the church. You look at Doug Wilson. Yeah. How he's been talking about not giving your kids up to the state, to Caesar, homeschool your kids. I mean, for the last 10, 12 years, he's been creating curriculum and he's been creating, you know, can impress and all those things.

And everyone's like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You're just you're going, you know, what are you talking about? You're being paranoid. Right. And now the exact same thing that Doug Wilson has been talking about for 10 plus years is the fact it's now coming true.

Yeah. Now we're seeing an uprising of people going to school boards and going, hey, you don't control my kids. I do. I raise my kids. And literally you have like the governor of Virginia saying, oh, no, leave it to the experts.

You don't you don't teach your kids and control your kids. We do. Yeah. Public schools do. And like parents are just now starting to wake up to this and realize to where guys like you and I have been hip to this for years.

You know, I'm in my seventh year of homeschooling. My parents realized this when I was in third grade, homeschooling me and for exactly. And I've told that story before. The reason why I got pulled out of public school, because they were teaching relative morality in third graders.

It's OK to steal if you're hungry. And I was the only kid in class that said, no, it's not. It's not OK to steal. Right. I got sent to the principal's office for being argumentative. My parents said, all right, let's do it.

You're being homeschooled. And I was homeschooled, you know, up until my junior year of high school. So it was like this weird thing where some people, you know, that's what wisdom and discernment is.

Biblical wisdom is to be able and discernment is to be able to see what's coming right from the culture in the future and to start guarding against it. And now we have all these parents, whether they're Christians or believers or not, but even the secular's parents are starting to believe or starting to see like, oh, my gosh.

Yeah, they want to control my kids.

Cultural Marxism, School Boards, and the Loss of Parental Authority

Isn't that a kind of a flip side to our belief of the yeast and the and the leaven through the bread? You know, like how so? What do you mean the state? The state is has slowly been putting enacting these things.

Oh, yeah. Government, you know, education. And then, you know, it's it's slowly being slipped in there. You know, it's like the mustard seed growing just, you know, ever so slightly. They're they're trying to take one of our, you know, beliefs and turn it on its head.

But I think that's the main tool that the secular culture uses is the generational forgetfulness. Yeah. From generation to generation. Yeah. It's the frog in the pot. It's the well, this is the way it was for me growing up.

So this must be the way it just is. When in fact, you know, no, it isn't the way it is. Yeah. The fact that we just also come to income tax. There was a time about 100 years ago where we did not have an income tax, where you did not have economic slavery.

You didn't get to tax my income. That's an insane thought. When you think about it, I just take your money that you earned. You give out labor, you get paid a wage, and I come in as a government and just take that.

But think about it. Well, we're all cool with it now. It's it's like you get taxed on your wage and then you go to the grocery store, you get taxed on your food and then you get taxed on your car insurance and then you get taxed.

You know, it's like it doesn't stop.

You get a capital gains tax, a sales tax, a property tax, a death tax. All of it. You get a real estate transfer tax when you sell your home. You get secondary taxes through driver's license fees and registration fees.

You get taxed if you want to. I mean, want to go hunting? I want to take you on my own land. I pay ninety five dollars a year to hunt on my own land. That's a secondary tax. You have a state tax. You have gasoline tax.

Every time you buy pop, it's tax extra high that now that price is. Oh, yeah, I forgot about that. As a syntax, tobacco, bourbon, anything with X amount of sugar in it. Now they build it into there. It's not going to just show as a sales tax, but that those prices are higher because the corporations are charged a tax.

It's corporate tax. I mean, it's insane. The Beatles talked about this. Tax man. Yeah, right.

Let me tell you how it will be.

It's just I think you should have saying that.

I'm sorry. I lost myself for a second. I forgot where I was.

But that goes back to our bigger point of like frog in the pot. Like if you were to go back in time, a hundred years and you tell. And not even more than 1912, right before they passed the income tax.

Yeah. And did all the Federal Reserve shenanigans and stuff and said, hey, your great grandchildren will pay about 60 of of their wage in taxes when it's all said and done. All those taxes equal to about 60%.

They're only going to get to keep 40 cents on every dollar that they earn. Yeah, they would go, you're insane. Exactly. But now it's just what do you. What do you?

I haven't really studied the flat tax, but what is your take on flat tax? I like a flat tax.

So so can you can you have a progressive tax? Yeah, yeah. So certain wage earners pay a certain amount. The next wage earners pay a certain percentage. Right. And it goes. So so flat tax.

Everyone pays 20 or what everyone pays just out of their way.

God only asked for 10%. Yeah, yeah, exactly. The government asked for 60. Yeah, exactly. Like, sorry about that. You know, that's that's I'm stealing that kind of from Toby over across politics. He says it all the time, but it's like it even says that he goes.

Samuel says, look, God demands 10. You get a king in here. That's not God. Who knows what he might demand? Right. We're living that right now. Exactly. But yeah, flat tax would just be flat across the board percentage on income.

So so just deductibles. No, you have kids. So you get this deductible or you have this business. You get that straight 10 gross. That's like a bat tax. Yeah. Or no, I'm sorry. That's a flat tax. That tax would be like a value added tax, which some people propose.

And go look at only time you get. You pay a taxes on a good when values added to it. So I take a piece of wood and I make it into a pencil. There's a tax on that because I've added value to that. Yeah.

And then take that pencil, put it in a pack and bundle it as a wholesale product. I pay a tax because I'm not added value to that. That's a bad example of pencil. But but yeah, I get any good or a consumption tax where you only pay tax on goods that you buy.

That's that's been floated and that could work. And that's so then it's a choice. I'm only paying taxes on something that I purchase. So guess what? If I don't want to pay taxes on eggs, I have chickens.

I raise my I have I raise my own beef for energy. I have solar panels. So a lot of people don't like that in the upper echelons. Because it would push people back to be more self-reliant because then they could avoid taxes by just providing for themselves.

Yeah. What a crazy thought. What a crazy thought. You know? Yeah, exactly.

I mean, yeah, it's it's been incredible to watch just how many extra things have been floated out there. I mean, in my field, I mean, I trade stocks. So, you know, I mean, Janet Yellen talking about, I mean, 80 percent on crypto.

She's like, let's tax crypto 80 percent. And then she's talking about taxing.

On me. Oh, you put that meme out there on our Instagram. Yeah, you owe me. Yeah, you owe me.

Because you thought about thought about doing something, you know, and it's like. I didn't mean to interrupt. Yeah, I know. Go check out that meme, you guys. But she but she also talked about unrealized gains.

I mean, oh, that's just crazy. If you're holding a stock and, you know, I don't know if everyone out there knows what that exactly means. So just say that you're holding a stock like AMC. Sure. It's at eight dollars.

OK, you buy a thousand shares at eight, eight dollars. That's eight grand. All right. You're in it for eight grand. It goes up to seventy five dollars. And let's just say you really believe in AMC and you really believe because you're an ape and you're like, I want this thing to go to fifteen hundred.

Right. You know, I'm believing. So you hold on to it. It drops all the way back down to thirty dollars. Well, guess what? She's saying she wants you to pay taxes on the 30 all the way up to the seventy five dollars.

And it was up at even though you didn't realize you didn't take it out of the market. Those are unrealized gains like a realized gain is whenever you pull something out. You have it in and you have it.

Yeah. So, yeah, that's just that's so good.

Just think about how they could bankrupt people. So you got ten thousand dollars worth of stock. The stock goes up to one hundred thousand dollars, drops back down to twenty thousand dollars. They go, oh, no, you owe us taxes and thirty percent on the eighty thousand.

Yeah. Think about that.

The ten thousand. It's crazy. I mean, there's no way that anyone would want to trade on the open market anymore. Like it would crush the conspiracy theorists.

There is. And he says that's what they want. Right. Yeah. And it's true.

And I and I think in some ways, like everyone that has jumped in to the market right now, they really aren't thinking about the flip side of what could possibly happen and just really watching the trades that they're taking.

It's like a video game, you know, and it's like, man, you cannot treat the stock market like a video game because you can lose like that. I mean, it's so quick and I'm not a financial advisor, by the way.

So everything I say is all entertainment person for purposes only.

Yeah. Got to cover the cover, the basis for any lawsuits. But I know I honestly think you can look at you cannot get people to go along with government if they're not dependent upon government. OK, so that's why you have all these social programs.

That's why you have all these exorbitant taxes. That's why you have them floating unrealized gain tax. Like if I'm a self-made millionaire or even a self-made the new term is nine point nine percent or right.

Someone who makes up to four hundred thousand dollars is the nine point nine percent. You're not going to be reliant. You're going to go pound sand government. I'm not going to listen to you when you give me some dumb mandate or when you say, oh, I'll throw you a couple of bucks if you do this, that and the other or send your kids to school and I'll teach them all this crazy stuff because we don't want you have to pay for homeschool or a private school.

No, people who who have work ethic and who are successful and don't rely on the government aren't going to listen to the government. So that's one. So they float all this stuff because they need people at some point dependent upon the government, whether that's monetary or whether that's in tax breaks or whatever that is.

You can't take a successful person and control them because by nature they're almost self-reliant because they built that success. Exactly. You know what I mean? And I think that's part of the bigger picture.

And I think even bigger picture when you're talking like one world order or you're talking like a global economy, you can't have a bunch of little independent, self-reliant people in the United States and have this country with all these critical thinkers and entrepreneurs and self-starters and like, hey, you know, go pound Sanders when you're trying to get this world government where it's like, wait, we got Australia on board.

We got Canada, Canada on board. We've got Europe, Eastern and Western Europe for the most part on board. But then we got this stupid country over here with the Constitution that says people can do what they want and they have freedom and they have liberty.

And, you know, they believe this creator who gave them these rights, that throws a stick in the spoke of the global economy. So I think it's a larger plan. I know we're probably getting into like weird, but but isn't that what Satan wants ultimately anyway, is his kingdom under his foot?

Right. He is the ruler of this air in a sense. Yeah. God says God has given him some dominion over this earth. We know that Christ is ruling and reigning. Yeah. Right. From his throne. But I look at that and I go, yeah, that's like this globalism in this whole move towards control.

That's exactly if I was, you know, if I was Satan, that's how I would do it. I would want full control. Right. Because he has to force is to force people to worship him or has to trick him into it. Yeah.

Like no one openly wants to, unless they're deceived, obviously wants to worship him. Our hearts are naturally the Bible says our hearts naturally know that there has to be some type of creator or some type of good God out there, some moral lawgiver.

We see it in nature.

We see it. And you said who's the famous atheist that said it was well, he turned Christian. I'm almost positive. I'm so sorry, guys, I can't remember his name, but I'm almost positive the quote was it was too hard to be an atheist.

Right. Like, yeah, it was like took too much.

Like it took two. Yeah, something about.

Yeah, I can't remember who it was. Well, it's so funny. I was watching Neil deGrasse Tyson on some interview and he always is so pompous and confident and everything that he says. And they said, yeah, but if you always go back one, it's what I always say.

Like, well, the universe came from the Big Bang. Well, where'd the Big Bang come from? A bunch of heat and all this stuff in a real tiny space. Where'd that come from? He goes, well, now we know how we're speculating.

It's coming from multiverses. Yeah. Like where there's multiverse because of the multiverse theory. It's basically like the Big Bang slipped in from another reality and our reality. That's what created this reality.

And the guy goes, well, where'd those multiverses come from? So it's like you always have the same. Right, right. Yeah. Either have to admit that there is a creator that sits outside of time, space, you know, the time space continuum.

Yeah. And he created all those things. Or you're just always going to be left with the philosophical question of like, well, then where did that come from? Right. Something from nothing, you know. But but these guys, these secular scientists and physicists, a lot of these guys talk with such confidence and they have no answer.

Right. You know what I mean? It's weird. It's like, how can they get away with that? Right.

Creation, Atheism, and the Limits of Secular Science

Yeah, it's it it gets hard to hear the argument and and to not just kind of shake your head. And I mean, you know. Christianity gave the science community what it has, right? Like, I mean, I mean, God created all in Colossians tells us that in Colossians one, 16, 17.

And yeah, I mean, this is this is it's really hard to have conversations when it's like. That's all that that you hear is a bunch of rebuttal. And but with no actual facts and answers to the, you know, to the questions from the the atheist scientist.

Yeah. All I hear when everyone is supposedly a scientist, too, right?

All I hear when they give answers is what I hear. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Sorry, I had to put that drop in. Yeah, right. Oh, man. But yeah, it's it's nuts, dude. Yeah. Like the world is upside down right now.

But I mean, it's what the Bible said, though, too. I mean, evil being good, good being evil. But I'll tell you, one of the crazy ones this week was how. So here's another thing. So like the left always eats its own, which is pretty crazy.

And I would distinguish between I almost always do when I talk to people when I'm talking about political stuff, I distinguish between Democrat, liberal and leftist. There are actually three different things on that side.

You know, I posted something about John F. Kennedy a couple of days ago on my Facebook page and was like, John F. Kennedy was against abortion. He was pro gun. He wanted to reform or abolish the Federal Reserve.

He believed in it, didn't believe in fiat money. He wanted good currency. He was believed in personal liberty, like all these things. And it's like, do you think he could? And he was a proud Democrat.

Could he run as a Democrat today? No. You know what I mean? Like pro-life, pro-gun, pro-liberty, you know, all these things. And it's like so that's how far the left has moved. And leftists always eat their own.

And they're kind of eating their own right now with like Aaron Rodgers. It's great. That whole thing. Yeah, yeah. It's great to see that. It is. I do kind of sometimes feel like Elisha laughing at the prophets of bail.

Oh, yeah, yeah. When I watch these leftists and it's like men, men can be pregnant and they have ovaries and you're like, what? Yeah, no, no. And then you see the feminists go, what are you talking about?

You know, they're taking our jobs.

You know, they took our jobs. You know, woman of the year is Caitlyn Jenner. It's like, oh, that's that's real feminist. Yeah, yeah. A male took it from a woman is the woman of the year, you know. But yeah, like the Aaron Rodgers stuff this week where he was.

Yeah, he had COVID and he had COVID. Yeah. And then he decided not to get the vaccination or cookies. The cookie. We got to watch our words.

But it was crazy. I already said it. Whoops. So back in it was funny because back in August, they asked him, have you been vaccinated? And he's like, I'm immunized. Yeah. And then they didn't follow up.

Yeah. So everyone just assumed. Yeah. He had he took his jabber Rooney and not to be. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. But it was funny because now he comes out and he has COVID. Right. Right. And they're all like, oh, my gosh, he did get vaccinated.
