Defected Ep.70 マイケル・コーエン本人と弁護士の証言からみる計略の失敗

今日から徐々にですが、DefectedとDevolution Power HourのBBさん、Just Humanさんが出てる回の紹介をする努力を盛り上げていこうかなと思っています。私は特にJust Humanさんが大好きでこの2つは作業中にポッドキャストみたいに聴いてますが、rumbleのライブストリーミングで一時間半から3時間くらいの長めなであり、しかも字幕もでないので自動翻訳も難しいということで今まで紹介はしたくてもあまりできないという状況でしたが、最近はフリーのトランスクリプションサービスがありますし、テキストとして置いておいて検索できるようにしておくだけでも割と有益かなと思いますので、まずはドサッとOpenAIのwhisperで取得した会話の書き取りを貼り、後は毎回やるかはわかりませんが、注目な部分も取り上げる形にしようかと。

本当はAIを使ってdiarizationも自動化して、LLMを使って自動翻訳と、二人が会話している感じのHTLMを出力させようかなと思ったのですが2日遊んでみた所ではdiarizationの精度がイマイチあげられなくて断念です。diarizationでいいモデルとかサービスあったら教えて下さい。

今の所はwhisperでtranscriptionつくって、タイムスタンプでぶつ切りされている文章をphi-3でつなげなおして、さらに話し手の推測（diarization）もさせてますが、phi-3に一度に渡せるテキストがGPUのメモリの性であまり稼げてないのが問題。まあ、ぼちぼち解決していきます。

追記）
オックスフォード大の学生がwhisperとその他のdiarizationソフトを用いたパイプラインを最適化したwhisperxというツールを公開していて、こちらを使うとだいぶ改善しましたので一番下のテキストも差し替えました。

紹介するライブストリーミングへのリンク

DefectedのEp. 70です。Defectedというのは一般には「亡命する」という感じで国を捨てて逃げる語感ですが、その他にも「広告の宣伝文句を信用しない」とか「あの店にはもう行かないで、敬遠するぞ。」みたいな時にも使えます。

そういう意味で、Just HumanさんとBB（呼び捨て）は主要メディアのナレティブ（物語形成作戦）から距離を取って、自分で判断する人たちのことをDefected peopleと形容し、自分たちもWe are so defected, so we don't believe this news.とかいうふうに使います。

ストーミー・ダニエルズの裁判でマイケル・コーエンの計略が面白い

サナメさんのまとめでも紹介されていたストーミー・ダニエルズの口止め料があーだこーだの裁判についてのJust Humanさん評が面白いので01:21:55からの部分を紹介しますね。

ちょっとDeepLの翻訳には手直ししましたし、whisperが作ったtranscriptをphi-3が全部使ってくれなかったりしてますが、まあ大体意味が通じる程度だし、文章が途切れ途切れだとDeepLが発狂するのでphi-3でだいぶ楽ができてます。

で、要はですな。太字にした部分にあるようにコーエンの弁護側がこれは全部コーエンの自作自演だと裁判で証言していて、もうコーエン四面楚歌なんですなｗｗｗ

そしてこれを当てにしてた検察官Bragも真っ青な状態なわけです。

すごいよね。

以下はwhisperの出力です。
追記）　6月2日に出力をwhisperxに差し替えました。話し手の推測はまだまだですが文章の区切りがだいぶ改善しています。

1
00:00:10,722 --> 00:00:10,802
So,

2
00:00:35,066 --> 00:00:39,549
[SPEAKER_00]: Those puny little ants outnumber us a hundred to one.

3
00:00:40,049 --> 00:00:44,112
[SPEAKER_00]: And if they ever figure that out, there goes our way of life.

4
00:00:46,634 --> 00:00:49,416
[SPEAKER_01]: It's about keeping those ants in line.

5
00:00:50,677 --> 00:00:54,800
[SPEAKER_01]: Greed, for lack of a better word, is good.

6
00:00:55,981 --> 00:00:57,822
[SPEAKER_01]: Greed is right.

7
00:00:57,922 --> 00:00:58,963
[SPEAKER_01]: Greed works.

8
00:01:00,304 --> 00:01:03,526
[SPEAKER_01]: Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures.

9
00:01:07,369 --> 00:01:09,490
[SPEAKER_01]: greed in all of its forms.

10
00:01:09,970 --> 00:01:16,974
[SPEAKER_01]: Greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge, has marked upward serving mankind.

11
00:01:18,434 --> 00:01:20,475
[SPEAKER_01]: The sheeple aren't going anywhere.

12
00:01:21,616 --> 00:01:24,237
[SPEAKER_01]: They don't want this sentimentality.

13
00:01:24,357 --> 00:01:26,098
[SPEAKER_01]: They don't want freedom or empowerment.

14
00:01:26,378 --> 00:01:27,859
[SPEAKER_01]: They want to be controlled.

15
00:01:28,900 --> 00:01:30,460
[SPEAKER_01]: They crave the comfort of certainty.

16
00:01:46,135 --> 00:01:47,976
[SPEAKER_01]: the way of life, the freeing of beauty.

17
00:01:49,197 --> 00:01:50,118
[SPEAKER_01]: We have lost the way.

18
00:01:51,198 --> 00:01:57,923
[SPEAKER_01]: Greed has poisoned many souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed.

19
00:01:58,763 --> 00:02:02,106
[SPEAKER_01]: Our knowledge has made us cynical, our cleverness hard and unkind.

20
00:02:02,686 --> 00:02:04,747
[SPEAKER_01]: We think too much and feel too little.

21
00:02:05,208 --> 00:02:11,372
[SPEAKER_00]: The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed, the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress.

22
00:02:11,872 --> 00:02:23,302
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't give yourselves to brutes, men who despise you, enslave you, who regiment your lives, tell you what to do, what to think, what to feel, who drill you, diet you, treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder.

23
00:02:23,663 --> 00:02:29,148
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men, machine men with machine minds and machine hearts.

24
00:02:41,491 --> 00:02:42,892
[SPEAKER_01]: Let me tell you why you're here.

25
00:02:44,753 --> 00:02:46,234
[SPEAKER_01]: You're here because you know something.

26
00:02:46,895 --> 00:02:48,116
[SPEAKER_01]: What you know, you can't explain.

27
00:02:48,136 --> 00:02:49,556
[SPEAKER_01]: But you feel it.

28
00:03:03,666 --> 00:03:06,928
[SPEAKER_01]: I tried to free your mind, but I can only show you the door.

29
00:03:08,229 --> 00:03:09,590
[SPEAKER_01]: You're the one that has to walk through it.

30
00:03:18,891 --> 00:03:19,833
[SPEAKER_01]: You have to let it all go.

31
00:03:20,975 --> 00:03:24,222
[SPEAKER_01]: Fear, doubt, and disbelief.

32
00:03:25,645 --> 00:03:26,888
[SPEAKER_01]: Free your mind.

33
00:03:43,629 --> 00:03:47,031
[SPEAKER_00]: Hello and welcome to Defected Episode 70.

34
00:03:47,431 --> 00:03:49,413
[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry we're a tad bit late getting started tonight.

35
00:03:49,433 --> 00:03:52,334
[SPEAKER_00]: I had a few tech difficulties over on my side.

36
00:03:52,414 --> 00:03:53,595
[SPEAKER_00]: It's totally my fault.

37
00:03:54,155 --> 00:03:57,117
[SPEAKER_00]: Hopefully that's the end of them, but I'm not exactly sure that it will be.

38
00:03:57,137 --> 00:03:59,018
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm a little bit anxious now.

39
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,801
[SPEAKER_00]: Tonight, Bibi and I are a little bit off.

40
00:04:04,882 --> 00:04:06,143
[SPEAKER_00]: We're not exactly

41
00:04:07,182 --> 00:04:14,944
[SPEAKER_00]: coming to you guys with like, okay, we got this whole plan for what we're gonna defect from and we have these narratives picked out and these stories.

42
00:04:16,864 --> 00:04:22,746
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he and I may be defected too hard this week or something, but we didn't really- Defected from defected.

43
00:04:22,906 --> 00:04:33,228
[SPEAKER_00]: We defected from defecting and we didn't, to me, this week's storyline seemed like replays and like we could basically give the same commentary

44
00:04:34,150 --> 00:04:35,811
[SPEAKER_00]: as we've given them before.

45
00:04:36,192 --> 00:04:43,137
[SPEAKER_00]: And I hate to do that, even though we are kind of repetitive anyway, but I'm sure you guys are used to it.

46
00:04:43,178 --> 00:04:51,044
[SPEAKER_00]: But it just seems like there hasn't, there's a lot of stuff happening, but there's nothing that's like real fresh, that's on the scene exactly.

47
00:04:51,084 --> 00:04:52,445
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a couple of things that we picked out.

48
00:04:52,765 --> 00:04:53,926
[SPEAKER_00]: So we're gonna,

49
00:04:54,909 --> 00:04:58,671
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to go through some of those topics and we're just going to see where things go tonight.

50
00:04:58,751 --> 00:04:59,972
[SPEAKER_00]: We're just going to see where things go.

51
00:05:00,292 --> 00:05:17,681
[SPEAKER_00]: If you are ever looking for an opportunity to throw in a rant or a boost and completely derail the show and, and send us wildly veering into a Lord of the Rings or formula one or Subaru or dog rabbit trail, uh, this is a good night to do it.

52
00:05:17,761 --> 00:05:19,942
[SPEAKER_00]: And I see people in chat saying that I'm blurry.

53
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,944
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's just the, I think it's just some sort of connection issue.

54
00:05:24,605 --> 00:05:27,750
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess I'm still having trouble, but I can't, to me, I'm not blurry.

55
00:05:28,527 --> 00:05:34,951
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I'm looking at myself and I'm in high def, but we can hear you and pre-show it started to clear up over time.

56
00:05:35,011 --> 00:05:36,912
[SPEAKER_00]: So hopefully we get the bandwidth coming back.

57
00:05:37,012 --> 00:05:41,595
[SPEAKER_00]: If you've got extra apps open that you don't need, just close them down.

58
00:05:41,615 --> 00:05:43,276
[SPEAKER_00]: I closed telegram.

59
00:05:43,856 --> 00:05:45,597
[SPEAKER_00]: I closed, I closed steam.

60
00:05:45,617 --> 00:05:47,798
[SPEAKER_00]: It's getting a little smoother.

61
00:05:47,818 --> 00:05:52,361
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think it'll smooth out as, as things are going in terms of the rerun thing though.

62
00:05:52,801 --> 00:05:57,564
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, reruns are no nothing new, but it does feel like.

63
00:05:59,313 --> 00:06:01,896
[SPEAKER_00]: A little bit of a different spin on the rerun stuff.

64
00:06:02,016 --> 00:06:11,545
[SPEAKER_00]: There's reruns, but then lately it has felt like storylines in the narrative war that have kind of worn out their welcome, I think, in the truth community.

65
00:06:12,226 --> 00:06:15,369
[SPEAKER_00]: It sort of has felt like a bit of exhaustion.

66
00:06:15,789 --> 00:06:22,996
[SPEAKER_00]: It sort of reminds me of when a TV show hangs around too long and you realize they're just kind of spinning their tires.

67
00:06:23,937 --> 00:06:37,162
[SPEAKER_00]: There's, I think what we're tapping into is also a feeling that the American zeitgeist kind of has right now, which is, I mean, how many more Trump trial headlines are we going to get?

68
00:06:37,302 --> 00:06:41,703
[SPEAKER_00]: How many more, how many more Trump has a massive crowd at a rally?

69
00:06:41,783 --> 00:06:46,025
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not even trying to be a doer about these things, but it's sort of, I mean, Israel, Israel,

70
00:06:47,813 --> 00:06:57,717
[SPEAKER_00]: Hamas is constantly in the news and they're just you've really got to dig into the stories to see how they differ from stories from three days ago.

71
00:06:58,478 --> 00:07:09,523
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think we can definitely see that with something like Ukraine, Russia felt like it took a year or more, maybe two years before that really ran out of steam.

72
00:07:10,563 --> 00:07:16,166
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think because there's been so much narrative warfare on the American people in the last decade,

73
00:07:17,156 --> 00:07:19,957
[SPEAKER_00]: that the storylines are running out of steam faster.

74
00:07:20,197 --> 00:07:33,380
[SPEAKER_00]: People are running out of patience for them faster, because all of them really, if we have a macro sort of to tie it all together, it feels like all of the stories that are hitting the collective mind right now, they point to two things.

75
00:07:34,021 --> 00:07:43,903
[SPEAKER_00]: We want Donald Trump back, but we consider the establishment that are currently the adults at the table to be partially or totally responsible for what's going on right now.

76
00:07:44,263 --> 00:07:46,044
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just different flavors of it every week.

77
00:07:48,610 --> 00:07:52,811
[SPEAKER_00]: You just, man, you just sparked a thought in me that I have to write down.

78
00:07:55,912 --> 00:07:56,832
[SPEAKER_00]: So don't forget it.

79
00:07:57,012 --> 00:07:57,693
[SPEAKER_00]: OK.

80
00:07:58,773 --> 00:07:59,333
[SPEAKER_00]: OK, hold up.

81
00:07:59,433 --> 00:07:59,733
[SPEAKER_00]: Hold up.

82
00:07:59,913 --> 00:07:59,973
[SPEAKER_00]: OK.

83
00:08:00,013 --> 00:08:03,114
[SPEAKER_00]: OK, you just sparked a thought in me.

84
00:08:03,194 --> 00:08:03,394
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.

85
00:08:03,474 --> 00:08:08,356
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to do our first two advertisements and then I'm going to comment on what you just said.

86
00:08:09,836 --> 00:08:12,537
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's going to be very much defected appropriate.

87
00:08:13,656 --> 00:08:19,709
[SPEAKER_00]: Hold on just a moment, because before I can share this, I need to do something a little different with the advertisements.

88
00:08:23,196 --> 00:08:24,519
[SPEAKER_00]: Solar storm still going on.

89
00:08:25,424 --> 00:08:27,806
[SPEAKER_00]: Can I blame the solar storm for the text difficulties?

90
00:08:28,206 --> 00:08:37,233
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I think it was, I think it was blamed, uh, or, or credited with virtually anything that could have happened over the weekend, even though that's what's up.

91
00:08:37,833 --> 00:08:38,714
[SPEAKER_00]: That's only it.

92
00:08:39,074 --> 00:08:46,199
[SPEAKER_00]: That's why I'm having to do weird stuff tonight to get around just weird tech problems tonight.

93
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:47,060
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.

94
00:08:47,580 --> 00:08:52,584
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, first advertisement is from mid Atlantic business Alliance.

95
00:08:54,292 --> 00:08:55,872
[SPEAKER_00]: Are you paying too much for your health insurance?

96
00:08:55,912 --> 00:09:01,314
[SPEAKER_00]: The high cost of medical insurance is about to get more daunting, but Mid-Atlantic Business Alliance has the solution.

97
00:09:01,814 --> 00:09:07,716
[SPEAKER_00]: For over 30 years, David Becker has been helping small businesses get the best possible PPO coverage at affordable rates.

98
00:09:08,296 --> 00:09:17,659
[SPEAKER_00]: Mid-Atlantic Business Alliance is pleased to announce the addition of new UnitedHealthcare PPO plans in addition to the Cigna policies, whether you're a sole proprietor or an employer with a larger group.

99
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,442
[SPEAKER_00]: There are proven ways to reduce your cost and get the best coverage available.

100
00:09:22,042 --> 00:09:27,885

105
00:09:52,428 --> 00:10:05,513
[SPEAKER_00]: And next, are you concerned about the $6 trillion at stake at the upcoming 2024 election?

106
00:10:06,889 --> 00:10:12,631
[SPEAKER_00]: The Wall Street Journal has reported a critical issue, the looming decision on extending tax cuts scheduled to expire after 2025.

107
00:10:13,591 --> 00:10:23,454
[SPEAKER_00]: Republicans advocate for extending Trump's tax cuts while the Democrats lean towards letting them expire and increasing taxes on top earners and corporations, potentially creating a massive $6 trillion gap.

108
00:10:24,034 --> 00:10:27,536
[SPEAKER_00]: But fear not, there's a way to protect yourself from this impending threat.

117
00:11:03,092 --> 00:11:09,596
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, the thought you just made me have, we were talking about reruns in the media and reruns being necessary, and we're used to that.

118
00:11:11,097 --> 00:11:14,859
[SPEAKER_00]: But the thought you just made me have was about the nature of information warfare.

119
00:11:14,959 --> 00:11:21,884
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think one of the things with information warfare is we tend to think of it only as what you can put out.

120
00:11:25,126 --> 00:11:27,627
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's like, oh, we're gonna, it's like always fight fire with fire.

121
00:11:28,408 --> 00:11:32,070
[SPEAKER_00]: Like in the context of thinking about information warfare, we always have a mindset of fight fire with fire.

122
00:11:33,055 --> 00:11:34,998
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's like our stories are better than their stories.

123
00:11:35,018 --> 00:11:36,881
[SPEAKER_00]: Whoever's telling the best story wins.

124
00:11:37,261 --> 00:11:38,182
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's all well and true.

125
00:11:38,603 --> 00:11:48,557
[SPEAKER_00]: But there's this other aspect of information warfare that we don't always consider, which is occupying bandwidth and crowding out other stories.

126
00:11:50,251 --> 00:11:52,412
[SPEAKER_00]: Which in a way is like denial of service.

127
00:11:54,093 --> 00:12:00,236
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like we're denying the enemy the chance to occupy that space on the information battlefield.

128
00:12:01,016 --> 00:12:10,881
[SPEAKER_00]: So it just made me wonder, maybe one of the reasons why sometimes we see these reruns and we seem like we're seeing the same stories over and over again during a week or two week.

129
00:12:11,381 --> 00:12:19,246
[SPEAKER_00]: period is because they're trying to keep certain stories out there in order to deny other stories rising to the top.

130
00:12:19,926 --> 00:12:22,908
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm not necessarily necessarily saying white hats or black hats to it.

131
00:12:23,488 --> 00:12:34,615
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just saying that the environment is such that at certain points in the information war, just depending on how it's going, what new stories are out there and what potential stories are out there, potential information.

132
00:12:36,824 --> 00:12:48,034
[SPEAKER_00]: Actors on either side will try and keep a story alive or kill a story in order to create space for new stories to come in so like one story that you might expect to get bigger traction is.

133
00:12:52,062 --> 00:12:55,523
[SPEAKER_00]: and we're gonna talk about this later, the Biden administration denying intel to the Israelis.

134
00:12:56,183 --> 00:12:58,964
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's a really bad story for the Biden administration.

135
00:12:59,425 --> 00:13:04,406
[SPEAKER_00]: So that might be one that people try and crowd out in order to protect the Biden administration.

136
00:13:04,446 --> 00:13:05,847
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't let that story go too viral.

137
00:13:06,387 --> 00:13:14,070
[SPEAKER_00]: Or like a really good story, like out of the Trump Manhattan trial or Doc's case, there might be some story that comes in that makes Trump look good or is a big win for Trump.

138
00:13:14,610 --> 00:13:17,431
[SPEAKER_00]: So maybe the news media try and find other stories

139
00:13:18,251 --> 00:13:22,932
[SPEAKER_00]: to occupy their front and second pages and the back page to try and crowd out those other stories.

140
00:13:22,952 --> 00:13:23,912
[SPEAKER_00]: They don't rise up.

141
00:13:24,413 --> 00:13:30,094
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was probably saying that, you know, like, well, we not probably we know that X and other social media are really good at that.

142
00:13:30,674 --> 00:13:33,475
[SPEAKER_00]: They're really good at controlling that information flow.

143
00:13:33,495 --> 00:13:41,157
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's one thing that stood out to me in thinking about information where this goes back to the last balance media event, last garden, Dallas.

144
00:13:41,963 --> 00:13:53,367
[SPEAKER_00]: is I was thinking about how in cognitive warfare, it's not just what information you can get to reach your target's brain, it's what information you can prevent from reaching your target's brain.

145
00:13:54,107 --> 00:14:00,069
[SPEAKER_00]: Or what information you can send to their brain that's gonna crowd out stuff that they're gonna pick up and it's gonna occupy that space.

146
00:14:00,703 --> 00:14:01,363
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

147
00:14:01,704 --> 00:14:03,164
[SPEAKER_00]: But we don't always think about it that way.

148
00:14:03,304 --> 00:14:17,872
[SPEAKER_00]: We usually think about just just fight fire with fire when there's a lot to be said for putting up barriers and occupying a space to prevent somebody from coming in with their own fire and just just occupying that.

149
00:14:17,892 --> 00:14:23,495
[SPEAKER_00]: Like it's to me, it's almost like the the game strategy of occupying the middle.

150
00:14:24,534 --> 00:14:26,336
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, always, always control the center.

151
00:14:27,236 --> 00:14:40,448
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's like that kind of a game theory mindset, where like, we're always gonna control the center so that, and like, if you consider the front page as the center, we're always gonna control the center, that way we deny the center to the enemy, and they can't get their pieces there.

152
00:14:41,417 --> 00:14:41,657
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

153
00:14:41,917 --> 00:14:50,803
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, that, that reminds me, you know, when you're talking about controlling the center, um, in combat sports, uh, especially I think the UFC really made this famous.

154
00:14:50,923 --> 00:15:00,870
[SPEAKER_00]: This is a thing in boxing too, but the UFC was the first combat sports league that started really trying to educate their audience and how this stuff is judged.

155
00:15:01,270 --> 00:15:06,613
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, admittedly, uh, combat sports are not judged based on objective criteria.

156
00:15:07,034 --> 00:15:08,835
[SPEAKER_00]: It's, uh, one of the most subjective sports.

157
00:15:09,255 --> 00:15:15,601
[SPEAKER_00]: The thing I respect about combat sports with the judging is that it admits that it's subjective, whereas sports like hockey are fake.

158
00:15:15,661 --> 00:15:17,983
[SPEAKER_00]: My Bruins just lost based on bullshit tonight.

159
00:15:18,243 --> 00:15:20,365
[SPEAKER_00]: People who watched the game saw that was bullshit.

160
00:15:20,705 --> 00:15:22,687
[SPEAKER_00]: Even as a Bruins fan, you know it was bullshit.

161
00:15:23,088 --> 00:15:26,491
[SPEAKER_00]: But there's this idea in the UFC of

162
00:15:28,530 --> 00:15:34,799
[SPEAKER_00]: Fights are scored based on effective striking, grappling, aggression, and octagon control.

163
00:15:35,641 --> 00:15:43,031
[SPEAKER_00]: And octagon control is one of the most subjective of a series of subjective

164
00:15:43,972 --> 00:15:46,794
[SPEAKER_00]: Criteria and we've talked about this in the past.

165
00:15:46,854 --> 00:16:07,685
[SPEAKER_00]: I think I went on a rant a couple of months ago about how Counter-strikers used to be sort of unfairly penalized by the subjective reading of Octagon or ring control ring generalship they call it in boxing in kickboxing I was trained to be a ring general and the idea is like you just said of controlling the center and

166
00:16:08,425 --> 00:16:11,867
[SPEAKER_00]: It's really just controlling where the battle takes place.

167
00:16:12,467 --> 00:16:24,334
[SPEAKER_00]: So the baseline would be to look at the center of saying, if you're in the center of the ring and your opponent's on the outskirts, that kind of was the old school way of looking at who's the ring general.

168
00:16:25,134 --> 00:16:26,395
[SPEAKER_00]: This person's on the outskirts.

169
00:16:26,415 --> 00:16:30,417
[SPEAKER_00]: That means they're probably not in control of what's going on in the conflict.

170
00:16:31,398 --> 00:16:37,261
[SPEAKER_00]: Judging criteria and I think people's ability to perceive what's going on in the nuances of a battle.

171
00:16:37,921 --> 00:16:45,424
[SPEAKER_00]: have advanced enough to where now they understand that sometimes the guy circling is actually the one that's being the ring general.

172
00:16:45,824 --> 00:16:51,406
[SPEAKER_00]: So to me, I use, I think this might've been an episode where John had filled in on defected actually.

173
00:16:51,426 --> 00:16:59,369
[SPEAKER_00]: I had discussed the way I think of it as less about territory now, even in a mind war and in the narrative war, I think about initiative.

174
00:16:59,989 --> 00:17:06,593
[SPEAKER_00]: So when you're talking about controlling the center, I think about it less in terms of battle space, the psychological battle space.

175
00:17:06,653 --> 00:17:16,979
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think of it more in terms of which side of the info war is deploying and which side is reacting to deployments.

176
00:17:17,539 --> 00:17:19,140
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think it still holds.

177
00:17:19,180 --> 00:17:21,321
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's the same type of idea.

178
00:17:21,802 --> 00:17:22,702
[SPEAKER_00]: But, you know, if

179
00:17:24,663 --> 00:17:41,069
[SPEAKER_00]: Is the media, and sometimes these things are difficult, sometimes it's difficult to figure out, you know, if you're watching a battle between two striking masters, it can be difficult to figure out who is seizing the initiative, who is reacting to who, who's pretending that they're reacting, who's fainting and all that kind of stuff, right?

180
00:17:41,429 --> 00:17:44,671
[SPEAKER_00]: If a guy moves backwards, does that mean he's, did he move first?

181
00:17:44,991 --> 00:17:47,572
[SPEAKER_00]: Did he trigger an attack or did he react to an attack?

182
00:17:48,172 --> 00:17:52,776
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that's one of the key skills that we try to cultivate in the information war.

183
00:17:53,196 --> 00:18:09,248
[SPEAKER_00]: For example, the Israel story that you brought up, you know, is that the first thing I try to think of when I see Biden administration reportedly withholding information from Israel is, is this narrative, whether true or false, being disseminated

184
00:18:11,360 --> 00:18:13,142
[SPEAKER_00]: as a proactive maneuver?

185
00:18:13,642 --> 00:18:17,325
[SPEAKER_00]: Are they trying to seize battle space within the war stories?

186
00:18:18,166 --> 00:18:21,349
[SPEAKER_00]: Or are they reacting to something that is going on?

187
00:18:21,409 --> 00:18:27,574
[SPEAKER_00]: Are they reacting to some sort of truth or a loss of control in in this narrative?

188
00:18:27,614 --> 00:18:31,838
[SPEAKER_00]: Have they lost control of the story around the Rafa offensive?

189
00:18:32,358 --> 00:18:34,158
[SPEAKER_00]: And so now they're trying to seize it back.

190
00:18:34,178 --> 00:18:37,199
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's not always possible to know exactly what they're doing here.

191
00:18:37,439 --> 00:18:40,740
[SPEAKER_00]: But if you just ask that question, it's a really good place to start.

192
00:18:41,060 --> 00:18:55,143
[SPEAKER_00]: Because before you react to the latest headline about the Gaza initiative or Rafa or anything like that, you can first kind of lead up to it and say, which side is who lost the last round in the war of stories?

193
00:18:55,943 --> 00:19:00,124
[SPEAKER_00]: And could that give us a hint as to which side is putting this out and why?

194
00:19:01,587 --> 00:19:03,768
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think that's a really good thing to think about.

195
00:19:04,829 --> 00:19:09,932
[SPEAKER_00]: Who's reacting to what story can tell you a lot about who's in control and who's driving that story.

196
00:19:11,013 --> 00:19:17,077
[SPEAKER_00]: And in which ones a counter to which, because the person who's leading and who's in control is not going to be doing the reacting.

197
00:19:17,557 --> 00:19:22,461
[SPEAKER_00]: They're going to be doing the leading and leading the opponent and also leading their supporters in a certain direction.

198
00:19:22,481 --> 00:19:25,803
[SPEAKER_00]: That's one thing with Trump is that Trump never seems to be reactive.

199
00:19:26,623 --> 00:19:30,186
[SPEAKER_00]: He always seems to be like he was prepared for whatever it was that was

200
00:19:30,984 --> 00:19:36,630
[SPEAKER_00]: thrown at him, you know, like he always has, like it's like he always knew that it was already going to come to that point.

201
00:19:36,670 --> 00:19:38,351
[SPEAKER_00]: He was going to need that quick witted line.

202
00:19:38,992 --> 00:19:39,152
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

203
00:19:39,172 --> 00:19:42,335
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm not saying he always does know, but it's just like he's never on the back foot.

204
00:19:42,936 --> 00:19:45,659
[SPEAKER_00]: Like Trump never allows himself to come off like he's on the back foot.

205
00:19:45,699 --> 00:19:46,720
[SPEAKER_00]: He's always ahead of it.

206
00:19:47,355 --> 00:19:47,595
[SPEAKER_00]: Right?

207
00:19:48,155 --> 00:19:49,616
[SPEAKER_00]: Like the bloodbath thing.

208
00:19:50,296 --> 00:19:56,678
[SPEAKER_00]: That was one that like came out of, like came sideways and he could have just let it go, but he spun it around.

209
00:19:57,298 --> 00:20:07,341
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's like, and I think it's like one of those things where he's so loose because he's constantly dancing with the information war and the stuff that's coming at him instead of being at rest.

210
00:20:08,208 --> 00:20:09,608
[SPEAKER_00]: And just waiting for things to happen.

211
00:20:09,628 --> 00:20:11,809
[SPEAKER_00]: He's always dancing with things as they happen.

212
00:20:12,289 --> 00:20:19,492
[SPEAKER_00]: So when something like that bloodbath comes by him, he can just, he's already in motion and he can just grab it, spin it, utilize it, throw it right back out.

213
00:20:20,332 --> 00:20:23,353
[SPEAKER_00]: And so like it's, and so he's never reacting.

214
00:20:23,373 --> 00:20:24,974
[SPEAKER_00]: He's always just flowing with it.

215
00:20:25,934 --> 00:20:25,994
[SPEAKER_00]: Um,

216
00:20:27,355 --> 00:20:28,295
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, the Israel thing.

217
00:20:28,656 --> 00:20:29,816
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you want to get into that first?

218
00:20:30,456 --> 00:20:30,817
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, sure.

219
00:20:30,837 --> 00:20:33,178
[SPEAKER_00]: You want to get out of the way since we already mentioned we both mentioned it.

220
00:20:33,638 --> 00:20:34,058
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

221
00:20:34,678 --> 00:20:39,160
[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't want to get into the same Israel, Iran, U.S.

222
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,682
[SPEAKER_00]: type stuff that most shows have already talked about.

223
00:20:41,722 --> 00:20:44,783
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's been in the news for weeks and weeks, months and months at this point.

224
00:20:45,691 --> 00:20:56,320
[SPEAKER_00]: But a couple of things that have stood out to me about the situation over there is we've gotten some news stories lately that are pretty big and damaging for the Biden administration.

225
00:20:57,181 --> 00:21:12,675
[SPEAKER_00]: And it seems like more and more, or this, well, not more and more, continuously, the Israel-Iran situation and the Israel-Hamas situation is constantly moving in a direction where it damages the Biden administration.

226
00:21:13,339 --> 00:21:18,021
[SPEAKER_00]: Like whatever's happening day to day, it always seems to be like it hurts the Biden administration somehow.

227
00:21:18,942 --> 00:21:30,807
[SPEAKER_00]: And one of the things that happened recently is the US State Department, they did their own report on Israel's operation in Gaza that the Biden administration commissioned.

228
00:21:31,667 --> 00:21:36,609
[SPEAKER_00]: And that report is very critical of Israel's efforts in Gaza.

229
00:21:37,210 --> 00:21:41,852
[SPEAKER_00]: It says that Israel has likely violated some international

230
00:21:43,018 --> 00:21:47,040
[SPEAKER_00]: rules, laws on humanitarian stuff and wartime, whatever.

231
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,041
[SPEAKER_00]: And maybe they did, maybe they didn't.

232
00:21:50,521 --> 00:22:04,967
[SPEAKER_00]: But this report has come out by the State Department at the same time that Israel is asking the US for some support with regards to its operation in Gaza and for this continual monetary aid, as well as equipment and arms sales and whatnot.

233
00:22:05,607 --> 00:22:07,768
[SPEAKER_00]: And so Israel is mad about this report, right?

234
00:22:08,589 --> 00:22:11,770
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's like the Biden administration did this, but remember, it comes out of the State Department.

235
00:22:12,955 --> 00:22:21,882
[SPEAKER_00]: And the State Department seems to be the entity that is very much in control of the Biden administration and Blackhats and Deep State and Trump enemies.

236
00:22:22,542 --> 00:22:24,183
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's the Deep State right now.

237
00:22:24,263 --> 00:22:30,407
[SPEAKER_00]: That's who I think of as the Deep State that are actually trying to act on the game board.

238
00:22:30,548 --> 00:22:38,173
[SPEAKER_00]: That's definitely the people that they're hemmed in by devolution, but they are trying to forward their agenda.

239
00:22:38,786 --> 00:22:51,711
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, and so they, and then the Biden administration at the same time, they put on hold, they paused military shipments, armed shipments to Israel after this report came out, citing Israel's operation in Rafah.

240
00:22:52,972 --> 00:23:07,918
[SPEAKER_00]: And then seemingly in an attempt to, well, no, not seemingly, obviously, very obviously and blatantly, in an attempt to leverage Israel, the Biden administration says they have intel on Hamas tunnels

241
00:23:08,895 --> 00:23:19,767
[SPEAKER_00]: and on hostages that Hamas has, that they're not sharing this intel with the Israelis as a way of leveraging them to not go into Rafa.

242
00:23:21,048 --> 00:23:26,474
[SPEAKER_00]: So the Biden administration is like, it's kind of like you can get with them.

243
00:23:26,494 --> 00:23:27,475
[SPEAKER_00]: You can get on board with them.

244
00:23:27,495 --> 00:23:28,196
[SPEAKER_00]: And when it's like,

245
00:23:29,525 --> 00:23:33,508
[SPEAKER_00]: Israel is being too careless when it comes to their operation as regards civilians.

246
00:23:33,648 --> 00:23:33,748
[SPEAKER_00]: OK.

247
00:23:33,788 --> 00:23:34,508
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.

248
00:23:34,608 --> 00:23:35,209
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe that's so.

249
00:23:36,390 --> 00:23:39,271
[SPEAKER_00]: Biden administration is pausing shipments of arms due to these concerns.

250
00:23:39,912 --> 00:23:40,232
[SPEAKER_00]: OK.

251
00:23:40,933 --> 00:23:42,213
[SPEAKER_00]: Can kind of follow you there on that.

252
00:23:42,253 --> 00:23:42,874
[SPEAKER_00]: You would do that.

253
00:23:42,934 --> 00:23:43,394
[SPEAKER_00]: Makes sense.

254
00:23:44,055 --> 00:23:50,739
[SPEAKER_00]: Biden administration is was holding intel on where the hostages, including American hostages, are located in Gaza.

255
00:23:52,315 --> 00:23:53,996
[SPEAKER_00]: Hold the fuck up.

256
00:23:54,396 --> 00:24:01,358
[SPEAKER_00]: Why is the US- So the whole impetus for what is going on here, I mean, it really is.

257
00:24:02,018 --> 00:24:04,499
[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry, I derailed you there, but it's absurd.

258
00:24:06,340 --> 00:24:07,740
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the thing here.

259
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:09,801
[SPEAKER_00]: I had first seen zero hedge.

260
00:24:10,161 --> 00:24:12,462
[SPEAKER_00]: I often use zero hedge as an aggregator, right?

261
00:24:12,582 --> 00:24:17,784
[SPEAKER_00]: Because they tend to give you a good lay of the land of all the bullshit going on in a given day.

262
00:24:18,204 --> 00:24:20,225
[SPEAKER_00]: and then I'll dig into the primary sources.

263
00:24:20,385 --> 00:24:21,245
[SPEAKER_00]: Primary sources.

264
00:24:21,706 --> 00:24:23,166
[SPEAKER_00]: So this was obviously WAPO.

265
00:24:23,586 --> 00:24:25,967
[SPEAKER_00]: And you're reading the first graph here on Washington Post.

266
00:24:26,007 --> 00:24:41,614
[SPEAKER_00]: Biden administration working urgently to stave off a full-scale Israeli invasion of Rafah is offering Israel valuable assistance if it holds back, including sensitive intelligence to help the Israeli military pinpoint the location of Hamas leaders and find the group's hidden tunnels.

267
00:24:42,856 --> 00:24:51,099
[SPEAKER_00]: So, oh, and by the way, this is based on four unnamed sources, which is twice the number of the usual two.

268
00:24:51,839 --> 00:24:58,421
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think they wanted to make sure that this fake story is doubly as real as the other ones.

269
00:24:58,441 --> 00:24:59,161
[SPEAKER_00]: They don't really want to.

270
00:24:59,361 --> 00:25:04,143
[SPEAKER_00]: But either way, obviously, as you mentioned with the State Department, it's important to keep in mind, too.

271
00:25:04,163 --> 00:25:11,526
[SPEAKER_00]: I know most people probably understand this, but a lot of times when you see these unnamed sources and there's a certain department involved here, they're the ones feeding that in.

272
00:25:11,766 --> 00:25:13,206
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, it's like, oh, military sources.

273
00:25:13,586 --> 00:25:16,187
[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of times this stuff is coming out of the State Department.

274
00:25:16,907 --> 00:25:21,209
[SPEAKER_00]: This one, it's hard to say it was because it's not looking good on them.

275
00:25:21,249 --> 00:25:26,971
[SPEAKER_00]: But when you mentioned, I mean, hold the phone, it's like we're trying to talk about this from a normie lens.

276
00:25:27,491 --> 00:25:28,292
[SPEAKER_00]: Somebody who's

277
00:25:29,369 --> 00:25:38,578
[SPEAKER_00]: who's maybe who reads the news and tries to keep up, but who takes the news at face value, who reads the news and is not a defector.

278
00:25:38,859 --> 00:25:40,400
[SPEAKER_00]: They haven't defected like this audience.

279
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:47,707
[SPEAKER_00]: This audience, I think when they see a headline, the Badlands audience in general, their first thought is, who put the headline out?

280
00:25:48,228 --> 00:25:49,409
[SPEAKER_00]: What's their intention?

281
00:25:49,970 --> 00:25:52,652
[SPEAKER_00]: Then it might be third, is it real?

282
00:25:53,533 --> 00:25:55,355
[SPEAKER_00]: But the first two are the major two.

283
00:25:55,755 --> 00:25:56,856
[SPEAKER_00]: Normies don't do that.

284
00:25:57,617 --> 00:26:02,341
[SPEAKER_00]: So when normies are looking in this and going, okay, all right, so you're going to withhold aid.

285
00:26:02,381 --> 00:26:09,788
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I've heard Israel's maybe overstepping or things are there's there's their side, there's the other side of people thinking they're justified or not justified.

286
00:26:10,248 --> 00:26:12,490
[SPEAKER_00]: But that wait a second, you get the record skip.

287
00:26:13,351 --> 00:26:14,312
[SPEAKER_00]: Isn't the whole

288
00:26:15,439 --> 00:26:20,963
[SPEAKER_00]: reason that we're being told any of this is happening is because the U.S.

289
00:26:20,983 --> 00:26:38,314
[SPEAKER_00]: supports the Israeli mission to take out this Hamas leadership and return the hostages, and you just revealed that you've known how to ostensibly end this conflict from day one and have withheld that information from the Israelis.

290
00:26:38,814 --> 00:26:44,278
[SPEAKER_00]: Whether or not that's true, that is the claim that you're making as some sort of

291
00:26:45,373 --> 00:26:46,414
[SPEAKER_00]: face-saving measure?

292
00:26:46,494 --> 00:26:50,857
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, that's why it must not have come out of the State Department, because this does not look good for them.

293
00:26:51,958 --> 00:26:59,404
[SPEAKER_00]: No, and I kind of wonder if it came from the DEVO team, because I think if there's... I don't know.

294
00:26:59,584 --> 00:27:01,145
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm trying to think about what to call it.

295
00:27:04,068 --> 00:27:09,712
[SPEAKER_00]: There's something about the State Department that it seems like they help us discern the outline of the DEVO team.

296
00:27:10,970 --> 00:27:20,741
[SPEAKER_00]: Because they keep on coming up against it and they keep on saying things that seem contrary to what the devolution team is doing and what ends up happening.

297
00:27:21,562 --> 00:27:26,567
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, like they take positions that end up being the wrong position to be in or the wrong.

298
00:27:27,427 --> 00:27:32,749
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like there's musical chairs going on and it's the State Department who's always left without a chair.

299
00:27:33,269 --> 00:27:34,929
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's like that kind of a thing.

300
00:27:35,530 --> 00:27:38,350
[SPEAKER_00]: And I feel like that's what's going on here.

301
00:27:38,370 --> 00:27:49,054
[SPEAKER_00]: And I kind of touched on this on last Wednesday on the Devolution Power that I think in things like this with Israel, we see the actions of the actual Devo team.

302
00:27:50,123 --> 00:27:54,625
[SPEAKER_00]: making sure that certain things regarding our security are put in place.

303
00:27:55,126 --> 00:28:03,710
[SPEAKER_00]: While the State Department flails about and the Biden administration flails about and contradicts each other and messes up and has gaffe after gaffe.

304
00:28:04,311 --> 00:28:07,132
[SPEAKER_00]: And then they say that they're going to do one thing and they don't do it.

305
00:28:07,152 --> 00:28:14,796
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, like Biden saying that we're not going to give Israel the ammo and the weapons they need to conduct their operation in Rafa.

306
00:28:14,836 --> 00:28:16,157
[SPEAKER_00]: That's how we'll stop them from doing it.

307
00:28:16,735 --> 00:28:25,802
[SPEAKER_00]: But then you read down the entire article and you find a little line from a spokesperson that says Israel already has all the weapons and ammo that they need for their current operation.

308
00:28:26,142 --> 00:28:26,382
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

309
00:28:27,343 --> 00:28:32,526
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's like, OK, so this whole story is actually a non story.

310
00:28:33,367 --> 00:28:39,371
[SPEAKER_00]: But the first like 90 percent of it is spent on Biden administration taking a stand against Israel.

311
00:28:39,411 --> 00:28:42,694
[SPEAKER_00]: That's all narrative that you guys want out there at the very bottom.

312
00:28:42,734 --> 00:28:43,034
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like.

313
00:28:43,513 --> 00:28:45,796
[SPEAKER_00]: By the way, Israel has everything they need for the operation.

314
00:28:45,816 --> 00:28:46,817
[SPEAKER_00]: This doesn't actually matter.

315
00:28:47,357 --> 00:28:47,578
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

316
00:28:48,018 --> 00:28:50,000
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that's the Devo team doing that.

317
00:28:50,261 --> 00:28:58,870
[SPEAKER_00]: Another thing I think going on is that Iran, an Iranian politician today announced that Iran has nuclear bombs.

318
00:29:00,024 --> 00:29:04,267
[SPEAKER_00]: And he said that it was in an interview with an Iranian media outlet, I believe.

319
00:29:04,567 --> 00:29:10,330
[SPEAKER_00]: And he said that the nation of Iran actually has what they need to make, actually has nuclear bombs.

320
00:29:11,230 --> 00:29:14,792
[SPEAKER_00]: And we have what we need to make more nuclear bombs, but we don't state it.

321
00:29:14,992 --> 00:29:16,113
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't say it publicly.

322
00:29:16,153 --> 00:29:20,756
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not the official position of Iran that we do possess nuclear weapons, but we do.

323
00:29:21,156 --> 00:29:23,017
[SPEAKER_00]: And eventually it'll be said that we do.

324
00:29:24,719 --> 00:29:35,529
[SPEAKER_00]: And this means a little bit because it does come from a guy who was just recently elected back into the Iranian Congress or whatever it is, uh, the parliament, whatever they call it.

325
00:29:36,610 --> 00:29:50,503
[SPEAKER_00]: But this comes like one that ended up itself is a news headline right there and changes things because the Biden administration can be narratively and literally blamed.

326
00:29:51,035 --> 00:29:57,138
[SPEAKER_00]: for Israel having a nuclear bomb, because the Biden administration tried to scale back.

327
00:29:57,999 --> 00:30:00,660
[SPEAKER_00]: It requires they try to do a new nuclear deal, which actually failed.

328
00:30:02,001 --> 00:30:07,344
[SPEAKER_00]: And then they've released all this money to the Qataris, and that money has been funneled to Iran.

329
00:30:07,744 --> 00:30:15,088
[SPEAKER_00]: So Trump is perfectly teed up to be able to say that the Biden administration went soft on Iran, and look what happened.

330
00:30:15,168 --> 00:30:16,469
[SPEAKER_00]: Now they have nuclear weapons.

331
00:30:17,940 --> 00:30:19,822
[SPEAKER_00]: He is perfectly teed up to make that argument.

332
00:30:20,322 --> 00:30:25,707
[SPEAKER_00]: Plus, Robert O'Malley, or Robert Malley, not O'Malley, I always want to call him O'Malley.

333
00:30:26,127 --> 00:30:30,791
[SPEAKER_00]: Robert Malley is back in the news because it's been revealed he's under investigation by the FBI.

334
00:30:31,452 --> 00:30:41,220
[SPEAKER_00]: If you don't remember who that is, that is a former State Department envoy to Iran who got caught by the FBI sharing classified intel with Iran.

335
00:30:43,180 --> 00:31:03,865
[SPEAKER_00]: So the Biden administration and their State Department have funded Iran, released billions of dollars to Iran, gone soft on Iran as far as sanctions, gone soft on terrorism, and now Iran has funded and coordinated the worst terrorist attack in Israel history, says they have nuclear bombs, and

336
00:31:04,932 --> 00:31:08,173
[SPEAKER_00]: the Biden administration is left looking like the biggest idiots.

337
00:31:08,213 --> 00:31:12,434
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's, it's just more, it's just more of an example of the Biden administration having to take the bad news.

338
00:31:13,034 --> 00:31:23,136
[SPEAKER_00]: Like they're always having to take bad news and it's bad news that sets up in a way that allows Trump to come in and be like, and be the difference and be like, here's the insanity.

339
00:31:23,556 --> 00:31:24,797
[SPEAKER_00]: Here's appeasement over here.

340
00:31:25,037 --> 00:31:25,757
[SPEAKER_00]: Here's weakness.

341
00:31:25,797 --> 00:31:26,997
[SPEAKER_00]: Here's incompetence over here.

342
00:31:27,037 --> 00:31:28,257
[SPEAKER_00]: It's called the Biden administration.

343
00:31:28,798 --> 00:31:30,438
[SPEAKER_00]: Are you ready to have the Trump administration back?

344
00:31:32,711 --> 00:31:42,399
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, 1 really interesting thing when I try to look at not only who is disseminating the information, but what are the.

345
00:31:43,769 --> 00:31:50,490
[SPEAKER_00]: What are the narrative setters or what are the experts that these narrative setters are trying to lean on in their pieces?

346
00:31:50,570 --> 00:31:52,531
[SPEAKER_00]: So you've got the Washington Post, obviously.

347
00:31:52,931 --> 00:31:56,831
[SPEAKER_00]: They've got unnamed sources that are giving them this information we're meant to believe.

348
00:31:57,352 --> 00:32:01,412
[SPEAKER_00]: And then they'll name people and they'll quote people within the meat of the article.

349
00:32:01,792 --> 00:32:10,454
[SPEAKER_00]: If you want to share my screen here, I thought one was particularly interesting in light of what his quote is in this article.

350
00:32:10,894 --> 00:32:15,456
[SPEAKER_00]: So Frank Lowenstein, American lawyer, diplomat, former government official.

351
00:32:15,776 --> 00:32:18,537
[SPEAKER_00]: So here's the little tidbit of him that's relevant.

352
00:32:18,917 --> 00:32:21,298
[SPEAKER_00]: 2013 to 14, he served as a senior advisor to the U.S.

353
00:32:21,338 --> 00:32:22,158
[SPEAKER_00]: Secretary of State.

354
00:32:22,438 --> 00:32:23,758
[SPEAKER_00]: He served as the U.S.

355
00:32:23,798 --> 00:32:28,440
[SPEAKER_00]: Special Envoy for Middle East Peace from June 2014 until January 2017.

356
00:32:30,121 --> 00:32:31,401
[SPEAKER_00]: So look at the timing there.

357
00:32:31,441 --> 00:32:33,522
[SPEAKER_00]: This is not a guy that made it.

358
00:32:34,682 --> 00:32:35,823
[SPEAKER_00]: He was in the Podesta group.

359
00:32:36,383 --> 00:32:37,283
[SPEAKER_00]: OK, Podesta groups.

360
00:32:37,323 --> 00:32:38,404
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't see that.

361
00:32:38,484 --> 00:32:38,704
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep.

362
00:32:38,764 --> 00:32:40,005
[SPEAKER_00]: So there you go.

363
00:32:40,085 --> 00:32:44,207
[SPEAKER_00]: But, you know, that timeline is this is not a guy who was looking for Middle East peace.

364
00:32:44,527 --> 00:32:46,128
[SPEAKER_00]: Middle East peace wasn't going so well.

365
00:32:46,368 --> 00:32:48,769
[SPEAKER_00]: He didn't make it into the early days of the Trump administration.

366
00:32:49,289 --> 00:32:51,510
[SPEAKER_00]: So, oops, I got to reshare.

367
00:32:54,271 --> 00:32:57,452
[SPEAKER_00]: How Washington Post leans on this man is interesting.

368
00:32:57,912 --> 00:33:02,373
[SPEAKER_00]: But specifically, keep in mind, this is an establishment guy.

369
00:33:03,033 --> 00:33:09,475
[SPEAKER_00]: And are we starting to get some indications that the establishment is not too happy with Joe Biden?

370
00:33:09,975 --> 00:33:16,036
[SPEAKER_00]: Frank Lowenstein, a former State Department official and Middle East expert said Biden is likely to give Israel some flexibility.

371
00:33:16,636 --> 00:33:21,140
[SPEAKER_00]: but that further scenes of families dying and suffering could provoke a strong reaction.

372
00:33:21,601 --> 00:33:23,743
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's dystopian in and of itself, right?

373
00:33:24,163 --> 00:33:26,585
[SPEAKER_00]: But I found this pretty interesting.

374
00:33:27,466 --> 00:33:32,671
[SPEAKER_00]: Actually restricting more weapons deliveries is a step the Biden administration would probably prefer not to take.

375
00:33:33,191 --> 00:33:37,795
[SPEAKER_00]: As a result of that, they're likely to keep the definition of red lines flexible.

376
00:33:38,696 --> 00:33:47,742
[SPEAKER_00]: So they can decide based on the entirety of the circumstances whether Israel has crossed it or not said Lowenstein Who helped lead Israeli parent Palestinian negotiations in 2014?

377
00:33:48,002 --> 00:33:50,183
[SPEAKER_00]: So he's got a great track record.

378
00:33:50,443 --> 00:34:03,412
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh great It seems like the brightest part of that pink lines and that's a pink line Would be mass casualty events for civilians in Rafa and large-scale armored incursions into the city so

379
00:34:04,312 --> 00:34:13,357
[SPEAKER_00]: What I find kind of interesting about that little segment there, there's a lot packed into just that one paragraph, but this is an establishment guy, right?

380
00:34:13,377 --> 00:34:14,658
[SPEAKER_00]: You just mentioned Podesta Group.

381
00:34:14,958 --> 00:34:16,879
[SPEAKER_00]: He was in the Obama administration.

382
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:21,862
[SPEAKER_00]: He's supposed to be one of the major vectors for Middle Eastern peace of the establishment.

383
00:34:22,522 --> 00:34:27,785
[SPEAKER_00]: He's out here telling the world through the Washington Post

384
00:34:28,669 --> 00:34:39,733
[SPEAKER_00]: that Biden's red line is flexible, which is the literal opposite of what every human being in the world recognizes as a red line.

385
00:34:39,933 --> 00:34:45,555
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously you give somebody a red line when you are saying this will trigger a response.

386
00:34:45,615 --> 00:34:47,135
[SPEAKER_00]: This is an if then proposition.

387
00:34:47,535 --> 00:34:52,277
[SPEAKER_00]: So he's telling everybody that the Biden administration's red lines are pink lines

388
00:34:53,815 --> 00:34:57,836
[SPEAKER_00]: And that they're basically all built around public optics.

389
00:34:58,456 --> 00:35:11,160
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, I know that for us, for in this audience, it seems obvious to us when we see, yeah, the administration wouldn't want to see, you know, sort of humanitarian crisis images.

390
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,442
[SPEAKER_00]: in a conflict that they've been seen as bungling.

391
00:35:14,862 --> 00:35:16,083
[SPEAKER_00]: That goes without saying.

392
00:35:16,564 --> 00:35:34,117
[SPEAKER_00]: But the way it's framed, I feel like to an undiscerning normie audience, comes off really, this is the quiet part out loud type of stuff, where you've got an industry guy who's managed these kinds of crises, or at least the public narratives about these crises, saying,

393
00:35:34,938 --> 00:35:37,740
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it really isn't about what's right or wrong here.

394
00:35:37,900 --> 00:35:43,964
[SPEAKER_00]: What the Biden administration is concerned with is not what bad things happen in a RAFA offensive.

395
00:35:44,504 --> 00:35:51,689
[SPEAKER_00]: It's merely if bad images come out about what's happening during the RAFA offensive, i.e.

396
00:35:51,990 --> 00:35:56,312
[SPEAKER_00]: the Biden administration doesn't give a shit who dies over there.

397
00:35:56,813 --> 00:36:00,956
[SPEAKER_00]: They just care if they get blamed for who dies over there.

398
00:36:01,256 --> 00:36:02,617
[SPEAKER_00]: And then one more point on it would be

399
00:36:04,110 --> 00:36:33,275
[SPEAKER_00]: He doesn't directly condemn the Biden administration, but I would not take the red line flexibility pink line transition in one paragraph as being an endorsement from this establishment figure, which is, which to me are sometimes those asymmetric indicators that these power players that have been in the establishment in what we call the deep state for decades are not happy with how the Biden administration is handling their crises.

400
00:36:36,454 --> 00:36:37,975
[SPEAKER_00]: Speaking of power players.

401
00:36:41,817 --> 00:36:43,498
[SPEAKER_00]: Guess who I found?

402
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:49,241
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my goodness, she's back.

403
00:36:49,941 --> 00:36:51,001
[SPEAKER_00]: Victoria Newland.

404
00:36:53,383 --> 00:36:55,464
[SPEAKER_00]: Is still witching around.

405
00:36:57,385 --> 00:36:59,086
[SPEAKER_00]: And it turns out reliance right there.

406
00:36:59,106 --> 00:37:00,246
[SPEAKER_00]: The leaders of the Sovereign Alliance.

407
00:37:00,326 --> 00:37:02,908
[SPEAKER_00]: It is, it is, yeah, she's.

408
00:37:04,810 --> 00:37:05,610
[SPEAKER_00]: This is where she is.

409
00:37:07,031 --> 00:37:08,491
[SPEAKER_00]: This is so scary, dude.

410
00:37:08,691 --> 00:37:13,212
[SPEAKER_00]: This is supposed to be fluff, but when you know who Victoria Newland is, it's scary to read this paragraph.

411
00:37:13,613 --> 00:37:15,613
[SPEAKER_00]: She says, life is wonderful.

412
00:37:15,773 --> 00:37:22,115
[SPEAKER_00]: I am doing a lot of projects that I had put off seeing a lot of people that I love and staying involved in ways that are meaningful.

413
00:37:23,666 --> 00:37:24,246
[SPEAKER_00]: That's scary.

414
00:37:24,807 --> 00:37:30,531
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm speaking on foreign policy issues I care about, whether it is Ukraine or ensuring that the United States leads strongly in the world.

415
00:37:31,051 --> 00:37:37,536
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm getting a chance to prepare for my classes in the fall and work with the next generation of foreign policy leaders.

416
00:37:38,216 --> 00:37:41,559
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll be at Columbia School of International and Public Affairs.

417
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:44,040
[SPEAKER_00]: So for now.

418
00:37:45,802 --> 00:37:53,147
[SPEAKER_00]: This evil bitch is headed to Columbia School of International and Public Affairs, but she says she's working on other stuff, too.

419
00:37:54,403 --> 00:37:59,224
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and she's quote unquote staying involved in ways that are meaningful.

420
00:38:00,184 --> 00:38:01,064
[SPEAKER_00]: And that scares me.

421
00:38:02,025 --> 00:38:04,425
[SPEAKER_00]: So she's been gifted a job at Columbia.

422
00:38:05,605 --> 00:38:11,047
[SPEAKER_00]: And then on the side, I'm sure she's involved with some group that's doing nefarious things.

423
00:38:12,467 --> 00:38:13,267
[SPEAKER_00]: But she's.

424
00:38:15,568 --> 00:38:16,868
[SPEAKER_00]: That's where she's going to be is Columbia.

425
00:38:16,888 --> 00:38:18,988
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

426
00:38:19,088 --> 00:38:21,369
[SPEAKER_00]: It's funny, too, because I think that.

427
00:38:22,748 --> 00:38:31,490
[SPEAKER_00]: one of the benefits of all this campus bullshit that's been going on in recent weeks that's obviously sucked a lot of the air out of the room from a narrative level.

428
00:38:32,730 --> 00:38:35,191
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously it's a big story in culture right now.

429
00:38:36,211 --> 00:38:43,313
[SPEAKER_00]: It has made it pretty damn clear to a bipartisan and increasingly bipartisan audience

430
00:38:44,253 --> 00:38:57,062
[SPEAKER_00]: exactly what our universities have become, which are indoctrination centers, right, that are pushing American youth toward Marxism, communism, anything that's anti-America.

431
00:38:57,582 --> 00:39:06,989
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think one little aside there with Victoria Nuland is it's pretty funny when you, you know, now you wonder how many of these normies that are just starting to wake up

432
00:39:07,509 --> 00:39:24,675
[SPEAKER_00]: to the idea that the MAGA crowd that's been shouting from the rooftops about the university system being an indoctrination program, when they see these career politicos and politicians retiring or leaving their posts and then going right into academia,

433
00:39:25,749 --> 00:39:32,352
[SPEAKER_00]: It in the current context, it looks much more like, uh, she's going to her charging station.

434
00:39:32,372 --> 00:39:34,533
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like she's in the administration.

435
00:39:35,033 --> 00:39:38,115
[SPEAKER_00]: She goes back into academia charges up.

436
00:39:38,615 --> 00:39:46,958
[SPEAKER_00]: She gets public funding or public and private funding in order to continue whatever think tank project she's got going on.

437
00:39:47,359 --> 00:39:50,840
[SPEAKER_00]: Most think tanks are emanating out of academia.

438
00:39:50,860 --> 00:39:52,701
[SPEAKER_00]: They're either directly in academia.

439
00:39:53,221 --> 00:39:55,023
[SPEAKER_00]: Or they're tangential to it.

440
00:39:55,364 --> 00:40:03,172
[SPEAKER_00]: It's all I mean, it's that's a term that I hate, by the way, think tanks in general, but that's become there's a whole cottage industry built up around tanks.

441
00:40:03,633 --> 00:40:13,864
[SPEAKER_00]: So what you start to realize and what hopefully more normies are starting to realize is that these are the same people, the people that are in the think tanks right now,

442
00:40:14,424 --> 00:40:17,926
[SPEAKER_00]: are going to be in the policy positions, or that's the deep state plan.

443
00:40:18,406 --> 00:40:30,433
[SPEAKER_00]: And then when those policy position people come back out, they cycle back in through academia, which is actually the same kind of thing that I mentioned with Frank Lowenstein, American lawyer, diplomat, and former government official.

444
00:40:30,533 --> 00:40:39,579
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, how much, whenever you see that, that three piece, lawyer, diplomat, government official, how much lawyering do we think Lowenstein is actually doing these days?

445
00:40:40,580 --> 00:40:44,442
[SPEAKER_00]: He's probably a member of think tanks and consulting firms.

446
00:40:45,082 --> 00:40:46,762
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's what the lawyering is.

447
00:40:47,243 --> 00:40:48,463
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's the same thing with Newland.

448
00:40:48,483 --> 00:40:49,523
[SPEAKER_00]: She's going to go to Columbia.

449
00:40:49,844 --> 00:40:53,345
[SPEAKER_00]: Are we to believe she's going to be teaching the next generation of Marxists?

450
00:40:53,885 --> 00:41:07,070
[SPEAKER_00]: Or is she just going to be, is the position a surface level cover for a fat salary so she can continue her deep state work until the next time she's installed into an official position?

451
00:41:08,531 --> 00:41:08,631
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep.

452
00:41:09,147 --> 00:41:10,567
[SPEAKER_00]: I think I'm going to keep watching for now.

453
00:41:10,607 --> 00:41:23,411
[SPEAKER_00]: We know where she's going to be officially at Columbia, but I want to watch for where she's going to be unofficially at Aspen Institute or some other group like that, because these she's one of those types.

454
00:41:23,611 --> 00:41:24,411
[SPEAKER_00]: They never go away.

455
00:41:27,732 --> 00:41:32,013
[SPEAKER_00]: OK, I want to I want to try switching my Internet to Starlink.

456
00:41:33,905 --> 00:41:35,646
[SPEAKER_00]: I would think that there is a lot.

457
00:41:35,666 --> 00:41:37,908
[SPEAKER_00]: We're not even sponsored by Starlink, but maybe we're not.

458
00:41:38,188 --> 00:41:39,589
[SPEAKER_00]: But I mean, I was.

459
00:41:40,770 --> 00:41:50,117
[SPEAKER_00]: I was thinking that Starlink would not be a good idea because given the solar storms and whatnot, but let's see if it's better than than Xfinity.

460
00:41:54,841 --> 00:42:00,045
[SPEAKER_00]: Never switch switching Internet midstream, it's like crossing the stream and Ghostbusters.

461
00:42:01,775 --> 00:42:02,095
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

462
00:42:02,115 --> 00:42:03,396
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.

463
00:42:03,576 --> 00:42:03,996
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm back.

464
00:42:05,597 --> 00:42:06,597
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if it's any different.

465
00:42:08,278 --> 00:42:10,139
[SPEAKER_00]: It seems like it might be a little smoother.

466
00:42:11,260 --> 00:42:14,741
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe give it a few minutes as it gets its kinks worked out.

467
00:42:15,342 --> 00:42:15,982
[SPEAKER_00]: Come on, Elon.

468
00:42:16,022 --> 00:42:16,982
[SPEAKER_00]: This is your big chance.

469
00:42:17,743 --> 00:42:20,864
[SPEAKER_00]: A whole of Starlink could collapse if this doesn't go well.

470
00:42:20,884 --> 00:42:23,245
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I really don't know what's up.

471
00:42:23,285 --> 00:42:24,866
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't have anything else running.

472
00:42:24,886 --> 00:42:25,867
[SPEAKER_00]: This is much better right now.

473
00:42:26,507 --> 00:42:26,747
[SPEAKER_00]: It is?

474
00:42:26,927 --> 00:42:27,147
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

475
00:42:27,187 --> 00:42:28,008
[SPEAKER_00]: It's getting much better.

476
00:42:28,568 --> 00:42:30,729
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't have anything else going on except for this.

477
00:42:31,977 --> 00:42:33,137
[SPEAKER_00]: None of my video games.

478
00:42:33,218 --> 00:42:33,778
[SPEAKER_00]: It's cleared up.

479
00:42:34,518 --> 00:42:34,778
[SPEAKER_00]: OK.

480
00:42:35,418 --> 00:42:36,039
[SPEAKER_00]: Much better now.

481
00:42:36,379 --> 00:42:36,679
[SPEAKER_00]: OK.

482
00:42:36,899 --> 00:42:37,139
[SPEAKER_00]: Great.

483
00:42:37,439 --> 00:42:37,779
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.

484
00:42:37,799 --> 00:42:37,959
[SPEAKER_00]: Good.

485
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:38,820
[SPEAKER_00]: Good job, Elon.

486
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:40,841
[SPEAKER_00]: Your whole company almost just collapsed right there.

487
00:42:44,102 --> 00:42:52,365
[SPEAKER_00]: The headlines on Monday morning is stock price of Tesla surges on news of defective midstream switch.

488
00:42:54,886 --> 00:42:55,167
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.

489
00:42:55,307 --> 00:42:57,247
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, let me see.

490
00:42:57,287 --> 00:42:58,168
[SPEAKER_00]: Quite an endorsement.

491
00:42:58,228 --> 00:42:59,108
[SPEAKER_00]: Now it's crystal clear.

492
00:42:59,148 --> 00:43:00,509
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me let me

493
00:43:02,608 --> 00:43:06,509
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't believe it's that much better, but it's crystal clear now.

494
00:43:06,970 --> 00:43:13,952
[SPEAKER_00]: So dude, this is seriously Wi-Fi Starlink against landline Xfinity and Starlink is better tonight.

495
00:43:14,532 --> 00:43:18,774
[SPEAKER_00]: So I guess that means there's something going on with my local Xfinity node or whatever.

496
00:43:19,874 --> 00:43:25,456
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, okay, let's do our, uh, our next set of ads and then we'll go on to our next topics.

497
00:43:26,197 --> 00:43:27,277
[SPEAKER_00]: Just a moment, please.

498
00:43:36,809 --> 00:43:38,890
[SPEAKER_00]: The boys are rebel rousing.

499
00:43:43,333 --> 00:43:46,494
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, wait, why isn't this play?

500
00:43:46,835 --> 00:43:47,255
[SPEAKER_00]: That'll help.

501
00:43:50,697 --> 00:43:53,538
[SPEAKER_00]: Passion, precision, and patriotism infuse every sip.

502
00:43:54,139 --> 00:43:56,240
[SPEAKER_00]: As a veteran-owned business, we ensure each cup is

503
00:43:57,188 --> 00:43:58,510
[SPEAKER_00]: an unwavering commitment.

504
00:43:59,211 --> 00:44:03,657
[SPEAKER_00]: Our roasters hand-pick the finest coffee beans from around the world and have mastered a unique brewing method.

505
00:44:04,218 --> 00:44:09,044
[SPEAKER_00]: Our skilled farmers cultivate the coffee to embody the essence of beauty and honor in every meticulous crafted blend.

506
00:44:09,534 --> 00:44:10,595
[SPEAKER_00]: But it's more than just coffee.

507
00:44:10,675 --> 00:44:12,576
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a family's enduring commitment to freedom.

508
00:44:13,036 --> 00:44:23,081
[SPEAKER_00]: With military veterans tracing their legacy back to the Civil War, including a Purple Heart, including Purple Heart recipients, Loaded Gun Coffee is brewed testament of pride and honor.

00:44:51,402 --> 00:44:53,204
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, he wants his cameo apparently.

517
00:44:53,224 --> 00:44:55,726
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, what's going on?

518
00:44:56,687 --> 00:44:57,527
[SPEAKER_00]: What are you upset about?

519
00:44:59,529 --> 00:44:59,890
[SPEAKER_00]: What's up?

520
00:45:03,433 --> 00:45:05,955
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, go to bed, go to bed.

521
00:45:08,376 --> 00:45:08,776
[SPEAKER_00]: There we go.

522
00:45:09,316 --> 00:45:09,637
[SPEAKER_00]: It worked.

523
00:45:10,557 --> 00:45:11,977
[SPEAKER_00]: Wanted his good night attention.

524
00:45:13,598 --> 00:45:13,898
[SPEAKER_00]: Nice.

525
00:45:15,139 --> 00:45:17,280
[SPEAKER_00]: I've had my I've had my dogs in here a little bit lately.

526
00:45:17,340 --> 00:45:22,101
[SPEAKER_00]: Athena is well behaved enough to chill and just chew on a bone and hang out in here.

527
00:45:22,482 --> 00:45:23,062
[SPEAKER_00]: Not Hercules.

528
00:45:23,642 --> 00:45:25,763
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he's like, well, she wants something.

529
00:45:26,183 --> 00:45:30,365
[SPEAKER_00]: He's still for a few minutes and he finds something and then he's still for three minutes and he finds something.

530
00:45:30,405 --> 00:45:31,905
[SPEAKER_00]: He's he's very puppy.

531
00:45:32,566 --> 00:45:32,766
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

532
00:45:34,206 --> 00:45:35,927
[SPEAKER_00]: OK, next, we have Benson Honeyfarm.

533
00:45:38,066 --> 00:45:39,627
[SPEAKER_00]: Badlanders love Benson Honey Farms.

534
00:45:39,807 --> 00:45:46,171
[SPEAKER_00]: Indulge in the authentic, unpasteurized, 100% natural honey, a product of diligent bees working the fields of wildflowers.

535
00:45:46,271 --> 00:45:48,593
[SPEAKER_00]: It's as raw and robust as the spirit of Badlands.

536
00:45:49,233 --> 00:45:52,696
[SPEAKER_00]: When you're seeking a taste that's real pure and American, choose Benson Honey Farms.

538
00:45:56,198 --> 00:46:00,661
[SPEAKER_00]: If you're craving something sweet, Benson has honey-infused candies that are highly addictive.

539
00:46:01,261 --> 00:46:06,505
[SPEAKER_00]: I just got a new bag the other day, and they're on my desk right here, and I'm trying to keep them as a prop.

540
00:46:07,301 --> 00:46:10,844
[SPEAKER_00]: so that I can suggest to the audience that they buy candy.

541
00:46:10,884 --> 00:46:13,066
[SPEAKER_00]: So I just kind of like right here by the lava lamp.

542
00:46:13,486 --> 00:46:14,187
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you.

543
00:46:20,492 --> 00:46:22,994
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm like, do I really need that prop?

544
00:46:23,635 --> 00:46:26,778
[SPEAKER_00]: Can I just, if I just eat one, is anybody going to notice?

545
00:46:26,818 --> 00:46:31,342
[SPEAKER_00]: It's still, nobody's going to notice if I just eat a couple candies out of that bag.

546
00:46:32,362 --> 00:46:32,843
[SPEAKER_00]: And, um,

547
00:46:33,706 --> 00:46:38,979
[SPEAKER_00]: That's led to me eating about five candies out of the bag within the past like day.

548
00:46:41,144 --> 00:46:43,209
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, it's over here and we'll see.

549
00:46:44,585 --> 00:46:47,866
[SPEAKER_00]: Y'all can mark it and we'll see how big this bag is next Sunday.

550
00:46:47,886 --> 00:46:50,467
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a watch.

551
00:46:50,808 --> 00:46:51,848
[SPEAKER_00]: This is so addictive.

552
00:46:51,988 --> 00:46:54,029
[SPEAKER_00]: Badlands media dot TV slash honey.

553
00:46:54,689 --> 00:46:57,430
[SPEAKER_00]: Badlands media dot TV slash honey.

554

[SPEAKER_00]: In fact, I have I have a my pillow dog bed right here behind me.

572
00:48:20,335 --> 00:48:25,198
[SPEAKER_00]: You can't see it because my name where we're just human is right here on the screen.

573
00:48:25,238 --> 00:48:30,141
[SPEAKER_00]: But there's a dog bad dog bed right there that I moved in here.

574
00:48:30,282 --> 00:48:31,742
[SPEAKER_00]: That's my pillow dog bed.

575
00:48:31,863 --> 00:48:32,503
[SPEAKER_00]: They're awesome.

576
00:48:33,003 --> 00:48:34,804
[SPEAKER_00]: My pillow dog beds are are awesome.

577
00:48:36,605 --> 00:48:37,166
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.

578
00:48:38,927 --> 00:48:42,169
[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't think I have anything more to say on the Iran, U.S., Israel thing, although

579
00:48:44,218 --> 00:48:51,082
[SPEAKER_00]: The the the the Iranian politician admitting that they have nuclear bombs are saying that they do, whether it's an admission or not.

580
00:48:51,182 --> 00:48:52,363
[SPEAKER_00]: It could just it could be fake.

581
00:48:52,863 --> 00:48:54,004
[SPEAKER_00]: He's just saying it right.

582
00:48:54,684 --> 00:48:54,844
[SPEAKER_00]: But.

583
00:48:56,505 --> 00:48:57,926
[SPEAKER_00]: That's one of those things where.

584
00:48:59,107 --> 00:49:11,094
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like it's a message, I feel like it's a. Like a warning shot to other nations, like it's an like this is the now the unofficial announcement.

585
00:49:11,892 --> 00:49:16,414
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's coming from a politician who presumably would have some knowledge.

586
00:49:17,895 --> 00:49:21,597
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's saying it, and I don't think he's saying it just like.

587
00:49:22,637 --> 00:49:41,407
[SPEAKER_00]: For that local media to report, I think he's saying it, so other nations pay attention to it and take a note, which isn't good, which isn't good for the Biden administration, guys like think about this, like the best thing for the Biden administration would be as far as Iran nuclear program, what would be the best case scenario for the Biden administration?

588
00:49:42,236 --> 00:49:50,669
[SPEAKER_00]: It would be anything that points towards the Biden policy towards Iran being successful in preventing them from having a nuclear weapon.

589
00:49:51,250 --> 00:49:51,450
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

590
00:49:51,843 --> 00:49:55,306
[SPEAKER_00]: And yet you have a politician coming out and saying, no, we literally have nuclear bombs now.

591
00:49:56,247 --> 00:49:59,830
[SPEAKER_00]: And the Biden administration, the Obama administration helped us out with that.

592
00:50:00,370 --> 00:50:00,630
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

593
00:50:00,971 --> 00:50:01,231
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

594
00:50:01,311 --> 00:50:07,616
[SPEAKER_00]: So this is like the worst case scenario for the Biden administration that you have this Iranian politician saying this, but it makes me ask, why is he saying it?

595
00:50:07,997 --> 00:50:14,402
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, is he saying it because he thinks that saying is going to, it's going to stop Iran from, um,

596
00:50:16,185 --> 00:50:28,069
[SPEAKER_00]: from it's going to stop Iran from attacking their nuclear facility because Iran because Israel is going to be afraid that Iran will use a nuclear weapon to strike back, which is something Iran has hinted at that they would do.

597
00:50:31,290 --> 00:50:39,453
[SPEAKER_00]: Is it is it to try and like get other nations to be like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, we got to step in here and get Israel to back down.

598
00:50:39,513 --> 00:50:41,694
[SPEAKER_00]: So because we don't want a nuclear war in the Middle East.

599
00:50:42,588 --> 00:50:53,877
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, like, or is it a, is it, I don't want, I think dog wheels is the right word, but is it a statement to other groups that are aligned with Iran saying, Hey, Iran has nukes.

600
00:50:53,937 --> 00:51:02,324
[SPEAKER_00]: Now we can go harder in these other areas because we know Iran's going to be able to back us up with their nukes or they're not going to do anything to Iran because Iran has nukes.

601
00:51:02,785 --> 00:51:03,465
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't have an answer.

602
00:51:03,485 --> 00:51:05,087
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just saying that that's the kind of.

603
00:51:15,243 --> 00:51:20,147
[SPEAKER_00]: We may have, we may have lost the Starlink connection.

604
00:51:29,274 --> 00:51:29,515
[SPEAKER_00]: Great.

605
00:51:29,755 --> 00:51:32,077
[SPEAKER_00]: It was the perfect promo for Starlink.

606
00:51:32,237 --> 00:51:37,481
[SPEAKER_00]: And now it's, it's a crystal clear frozen version of Starlink.

607
00:51:38,061 --> 00:51:42,445
[SPEAKER_00]: So Kyle, if you can hear me maybe switch back to Garbagio Xfinity.

608
00:51:47,273 --> 00:52:11,004
[SPEAKER_00]: While he's gone Let me just grab I'll grab a couple boosts actually from last week from you guys We'll see if he can boot himself back in there Let me see here Affected as always if you guys are not watching live or even if you are and would rather go through the website then Rumble you can submit a boost badlandsmedia.tv Lionheart 7 7 7 7 sent one over a couple days ago

609
00:52:14,546 --> 00:52:15,826
[SPEAKER_00]: 50 bucks and said, Good evening, gentlemen.

610
00:52:15,967 --> 00:52:31,411
[SPEAKER_00]: I am finding it ever so interesting as some of the more mainstream shows I listen to, Glenn Beck, Andrew, Wilco, et cetera, have over the last year in particular begun to slowly but surely spin away from Connick's typical positions and talking points and have started to drop some of the truth nuggets we have all known all along.

611
00:52:31,911 --> 00:52:36,633
[SPEAKER_00]: Most recently, Wilco referred to the difference between Israel of the Bible and the nation of Israel today.

612
00:52:37,213 --> 00:52:38,533
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you for keeping me ahead of the curve.

613
00:52:38,553 --> 00:52:39,994
[SPEAKER_00]: Much appreciated and God bless.

614
00:52:40,914 --> 00:52:41,734
[SPEAKER_00]: I see you're back, Kyle.

615
00:52:42,895 --> 00:52:43,515
[SPEAKER_00]: I think I am.

616
00:52:44,366 --> 00:52:48,808
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you froze toward the end of your take there for about a minute or so.

617
00:52:49,268 --> 00:52:50,128
[SPEAKER_00]: I think I'm back.

618
00:52:50,148 --> 00:52:51,628
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, guys.

619
00:52:51,869 --> 00:52:53,109
[SPEAKER_00]: But that is encouraging, Lionheart.

620
00:52:53,669 --> 00:52:56,310
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll just grab these while, since we did our first topic anyway.

621
00:52:56,330 --> 00:52:56,670
[SPEAKER_00]: OK.

622
00:52:57,570 --> 00:52:58,451
[SPEAKER_00]: Got a few boosts here.

623
00:52:58,491 --> 00:53:00,251
[SPEAKER_00]: Lionheart sent over 50 bucks there.

624
00:53:00,531 --> 00:53:12,876
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I do think, you know, when I see the media, conservative media, like rebranding and being more reasonable with their takes and maybe a little less reactive, part of me would always like to see it as, oh, they're

625
00:53:14,256 --> 00:53:15,618
[SPEAKER_00]: This is part of a plan and everything.

626
00:53:15,658 --> 00:53:19,643
[SPEAKER_00]: I do think it's part of a plan, but I don't think that these figures are necessarily

627
00:53:21,596 --> 00:53:21,976
[SPEAKER_00]: Great.

628
00:53:22,136 --> 00:53:28,997
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I don't know the individual intentions of different commentators, but I think it's a positive thing where it's about branding.

629
00:53:29,037 --> 00:53:29,957
[SPEAKER_00]: They're rebranding.

630
00:53:30,478 --> 00:53:44,300
[SPEAKER_00]: And if they're thinking that rebranding toward a less con ink or away from a con ink style of rhetoric is the way to go to garner the goodwill of the audience, then that's a good thing.

631
00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:50,041
[SPEAKER_00]: That means that this type of audience and the MAGA base has forced them into that position.

632
00:53:54,215 --> 00:54:02,937
[SPEAKER_00]: My comment on what you just said there about Iran, you know, why would Iran be the last thing that we saw you say was essentially why would they be signaling this kind of thing?

633
00:54:04,678 --> 00:54:06,918
[SPEAKER_00]: If I want, I like the scenarios you laid out there.

634
00:54:07,598 --> 00:54:15,540
[SPEAKER_00]: One additional scenario, if we're talking about ghosts in the machine, sometimes we do play with that in terms of the narratives and the headlines that come out.

635
00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:21,502
[SPEAKER_00]: If I want to look at that headline as a ghost in the machine narrative, I could look at the

636
00:54:24,203 --> 00:54:37,953
[SPEAKER_00]: the resurfacing of yet another corruption and controversy vector that harkens back to the Obama administration and involved the Biden administration.

637
00:54:38,534 --> 00:54:45,519
[SPEAKER_00]: So we've got, obviously, at the beginning of the Biden administration, we have, I mean, name your controversy.

638
00:54:45,579 --> 00:54:48,502
[SPEAKER_00]: The one that comes to mind easiest is probably

639
00:54:49,162 --> 00:54:54,685
[SPEAKER_00]: Ukraine firing the prosecutor, Burisma, all of that stuff coming back into the news.

640
00:54:55,085 --> 00:55:04,671
[SPEAKER_00]: Not just that stuff coming back into the news, but Ukraine and Russia coming into the news in a way that it has not been since 2014 when Obama and Biden were in office.

641
00:55:05,051 --> 00:55:11,575
[SPEAKER_00]: Then it comes back when he's back in office in a major way and starts exposing all this stuff, right?

642
00:55:12,155 --> 00:55:12,616
[SPEAKER_00]: Is this

643
00:55:13,696 --> 00:55:19,419
[SPEAKER_00]: signaling, when you said it was a warning, you're talking about it more on the actual basis, ironically.

644
00:55:19,639 --> 00:55:26,943
[SPEAKER_00]: The actual narrative basis, is this a strategic warning to people in the area from a kinetic basis?

645
00:55:27,483 --> 00:55:34,967
[SPEAKER_00]: But it's also possible that it's a narrative warning of saying, hey, remember what you guys were involved with?

646
00:55:35,047 --> 00:55:39,109
[SPEAKER_00]: When you mentioned the State Department, we all think that Joe Biden is basically a potato at this point, right?

647
00:55:40,169 --> 00:55:45,151
[SPEAKER_00]: Some of us play with the idea that he's acting out his part of a plea deal.

648
00:55:45,652 --> 00:55:48,313
[SPEAKER_00]: Some of us play out the idea he's directly controlled by patriots.

649
00:55:48,653 --> 00:55:56,036
[SPEAKER_00]: Some of us play out the idea that he is actually overcome with dementia and they've just lost control of him from that perspective.

650
00:55:56,876 --> 00:56:08,939
[SPEAKER_00]: But the State Department and these actors in the State Department, they were there at that time too, from Newland and on down the line, Newland and Blinken and Jake Sullivan and all the usual suspects.

651
00:56:09,399 --> 00:56:19,802
[SPEAKER_00]: So the last thing that those people wanted to see come into the news circa 2022 was Russia, Ukraine, the Maidan coup, Crimea, etc.

652
00:56:20,462 --> 00:56:23,083
[SPEAKER_00]: And the last thing they want to see come into the news now

653
00:56:24,156 --> 00:56:26,097
[SPEAKER_00]: is Iran and nukes.

654
00:56:27,057 --> 00:56:38,900
[SPEAKER_00]: Because we've also got, if we want to tie this to our first story, we've got Normies being seeded with the idea that the State Department keeps information away from their allies in the region.

655
00:56:40,481 --> 00:56:50,364
[SPEAKER_00]: Is there any big, big, big information that the current State Department has kept from certain allies in the region?

656
00:56:51,650 --> 00:56:55,552
[SPEAKER_00]: pallets of cash, weapons programs.

657
00:56:56,553 --> 00:56:58,374
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, your mileage can vary.

658
00:56:58,394 --> 00:56:58,854
[SPEAKER_00]: Pipelines.

659
00:56:58,874 --> 00:57:01,255
[SPEAKER_00]: Pipelines in the North Sea.

660
00:57:01,275 --> 00:57:05,518
[SPEAKER_00]: Your mileage can vary in terms of what you think the actuals are here.

661
00:57:06,358 --> 00:57:12,862
[SPEAKER_00]: But this feels to me like they might be being threatened with resurfacing narratives that they do not want back out there.

662
00:57:13,467 --> 00:57:13,987
[SPEAKER_00]: It could be.

663
00:57:14,007 --> 00:57:17,669
[SPEAKER_00]: And it could be the guys just was just bragging in a TV interview.

664
00:57:17,869 --> 00:57:18,089
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

665
00:57:18,309 --> 00:57:18,429
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

666
00:57:18,469 --> 00:57:19,690
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, that's possible.

667
00:57:19,730 --> 00:57:21,410
[SPEAKER_00]: But I kind of lean away from that.

668
00:57:22,991 --> 00:57:25,352
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that he had a purpose in saying this.

669
00:57:26,112 --> 00:57:38,437
[SPEAKER_00]: And for us, you know, like especially as regards this show defected, what we're trying to do here is have a perspective that's looking from high up above the battlefield and the timelines and looking ahead.

670
00:57:39,377 --> 00:57:43,119
[SPEAKER_00]: And we're both on the same page right here that looking ahead

671
00:57:43,980 --> 00:57:50,944
[SPEAKER_00]: and this administration's, Biden's campaign for the White House.

672
00:57:51,744 --> 00:57:54,806
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a worst case scenario as regards anything to do with Iran.

673
00:57:56,026 --> 00:57:59,927
[SPEAKER_00]: everything about Iran is worst case scenario for the Biden administration right now.

674
00:58:00,348 --> 00:58:03,729
[SPEAKER_00]: It's absolutely the topic that he does not want to have in the news.

675
00:58:04,169 --> 00:58:06,630
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a topic he doesn't want to talk about on the campaign trail.

676
00:58:06,970 --> 00:58:09,511
[SPEAKER_00]: He won't want it coming up at debates if there are any debates.

677
00:58:10,491 --> 00:58:13,872
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just not good stuff.

678
00:58:14,672 --> 00:58:16,033
[SPEAKER_00]: And it seems like

679
00:58:17,426 --> 00:58:27,750
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just yet another area where no matter what Biden does, there's this other hand that's moving things in a way that is damaging to him.

680
00:58:27,890 --> 00:58:34,813
[SPEAKER_00]: He's always forced to take the worst position, say the worst timed – make the worst timed remarks about a thing.

681
00:58:36,923 --> 00:58:41,544
[SPEAKER_00]: And so, yeah, I just think that I think it's noteworthy for sure.

682
00:58:42,205 --> 00:58:44,025
[SPEAKER_00]: And we'll see what else comes up with it.

683
00:58:44,045 --> 00:58:47,386
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, we're in a scenario to bounce off of what you just said, the way you characterize it.

684
00:58:47,506 --> 00:58:59,650
[SPEAKER_00]: Trump is teed up to say that this is an administration that gave billions to terrorists, leaked classified info to the Iranians and allowed the Iranians to develop a nuclear bomb.

685
00:59:00,618 --> 00:59:03,460
[SPEAKER_00]: and left American hostages stranded in Palestine.

686
00:59:04,101 --> 00:59:05,122
[SPEAKER_00]: And now how's that going?

687
00:59:05,442 --> 00:59:05,742
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.

688
00:59:06,343 --> 00:59:20,034
[SPEAKER_00]: All of this administration keeps secrets from our allies who are trying to rescue American hostages, but leaks classified intel to our enemies who are developing nuclear weapons to kill those same allies.

689
00:59:20,695 --> 00:59:20,835
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

690
00:59:21,448 --> 00:59:25,473
[SPEAKER_00]: Like that's the that's that it is so perfectly teed up for Trump to do that.

691
00:59:25,733 --> 00:59:26,855
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm looking forward to doing it.

692
00:59:26,915 --> 00:59:29,778
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I want to share my screen to just this one quick thing.

693
00:59:29,818 --> 00:59:31,260
[SPEAKER_00]: Shout out to Pathfinder in the chat.

694
00:59:32,021 --> 00:59:36,046
[SPEAKER_00]: Another potential storyline that could be coming back into the news.

695
00:59:36,967 --> 00:59:39,169
[SPEAKER_00]: Tangential Uranium One.

696
00:59:40,083 --> 00:59:41,804
[SPEAKER_00]: Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation.

697
00:59:42,625 --> 00:59:50,030
[SPEAKER_00]: It was not just the Obama regime that was involved in allegedly involved in shady dealings around this stuff.

698
00:59:50,250 --> 01:00:09,923
[SPEAKER_00]: So it will be very interesting to see as the blame game escalates is one thing to have a blame game going on when you've got terror cells, you've got Hamas active, you've got humanitarian corridors, every which way we've argued this stuff and tried to analyze this stuff, the real, the fake and everything in between.

699
01:00:10,983 --> 01:00:22,007
[SPEAKER_00]: Once you start getting that narrative power of that word nuke into the equation to the normie hive mind all over the game board, people start listening a little bit closer.

700
01:00:22,288 --> 01:00:22,488
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

701
01:00:22,828 --> 01:00:23,708
[SPEAKER_00]: People get a little bit.

702
01:00:24,208 --> 01:00:31,451
[SPEAKER_00]: Actually, we started the show by saying there's sort of a little bit of fatigue, a little bit of narrative fatigue, maybe the same sort of things going up.

703
01:00:31,771 --> 01:00:36,333
[SPEAKER_00]: You know how you inject a little bit of juice into a narrative is you

704
01:00:37,193 --> 01:00:40,334
[SPEAKER_00]: you bubble that that nuke word right up into it.

705
01:00:40,474 --> 01:00:43,436
[SPEAKER_00]: So it'll be interesting to see if that continues.

706
01:00:43,496 --> 01:00:44,676
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think it probably will.

707
01:00:44,776 --> 01:00:53,040
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that this is the last we see or not the last we see of Middle Eastern nuclear narratives and how far back they go.

708
01:00:53,720 --> 01:00:53,900
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

709
01:00:54,000 --> 01:01:06,666
[SPEAKER_00]: And I want to I want to segue real quick and just mention two storylines that are out there that relate to foreign countries and and our politicians.

710
01:01:07,663 --> 01:01:07,744
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh.

711
01:01:09,166 --> 01:01:11,749
[SPEAKER_00]: One being that Senator Menendez, his trial starts next week.

712
01:01:12,270 --> 01:01:12,871
[SPEAKER_00]: It starts tomorrow.

713
01:01:14,013 --> 01:01:18,680
[SPEAKER_00]: Senator Menendez is going to be tried in New York and and so are two co-conspirators.

714
01:01:19,881 --> 01:01:22,285
[SPEAKER_00]: For taking bribes from.

715
01:01:23,956 --> 01:01:31,682
[SPEAKER_00]: Qatar royal family and from Egypt, the Egyptian government intelligence services in order to change U.S.

716
01:01:31,742 --> 01:01:35,484
[SPEAKER_00]: policy towards Iran, I mean, towards Egypt and Qatar.

717
01:01:36,225 --> 01:01:40,288
[SPEAKER_00]: And Senator Menendez did this while he was chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

718
01:01:41,208 --> 01:01:47,553
[SPEAKER_00]: And he would literally get told, do this thing with your committee and we'll give you

719
01:01:48,444 --> 01:01:51,887
[SPEAKER_00]: gold or we'll give you a car or we'll give you a watch or whatever.

720
01:01:52,267 --> 01:01:53,348
[SPEAKER_00]: And he did these things, right?

721
01:01:53,728 --> 01:02:01,835
[SPEAKER_00]: His wife had her case severed from his, um, a couple of weeks ago and she was successful in getting that done.

722
01:02:01,855 --> 01:02:07,820
[SPEAKER_00]: I suspect that what's going on is that his wife is being flipped against him.

723
01:02:08,440 --> 01:02:18,188
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's, that's definitely me reading tea leaves and I could totally wrong, but just the tea leaves I'm reading in the court filings makes me think that

724
01:02:18,499 --> 01:02:32,582
[SPEAKER_00]: him and his attorneys are looking to blame her as the woman who was selling influence to these people and making money for herself and that Bob was kind of ignorant of the whole thing.

725
01:02:32,642 --> 01:02:39,023
[SPEAKER_00]: And he was just glad handing these Egyptian officials and Qatari royal family members.

726
01:02:39,423 --> 01:02:43,504
[SPEAKER_00]: He didn't realize his wife was communicating to them that he was going to do certain U.S.

727
01:02:43,544 --> 01:02:44,304
[SPEAKER_00]: policy things.

728
01:02:45,174 --> 01:02:46,335
[SPEAKER_00]: or influence the Senate.

729
01:02:46,415 --> 01:02:48,276
[SPEAKER_00]: He didn't realize that that was going on.

730
01:02:48,336 --> 01:02:49,217
[SPEAKER_00]: He was totally ignorant.

731
01:02:49,277 --> 01:02:53,380
[SPEAKER_00]: He's just a good senator from New Jersey trying to do the right thing for the American people.

732
01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:57,062
[SPEAKER_00]: But his wife, oh, she's a crooked, corrupt whore.

733
01:02:57,583 --> 01:03:01,165
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that's I think that's basically what their angle is.

734
01:03:02,226 --> 01:03:03,207
[SPEAKER_00]: And but we'll see.

735
01:03:03,527 --> 01:03:04,188
[SPEAKER_00]: It may not be.

736
01:03:04,248 --> 01:03:05,869
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's see how that works for him.

737
01:03:06,089 --> 01:03:06,369
[SPEAKER_00]: It seems.

738
01:03:06,409 --> 01:03:14,315
[SPEAKER_00]: But anyway, we have a Democrat, a longtime New Jersey Democrat, a very powerful one who's on trial in New York starting next week.

739
01:03:15,479 --> 01:03:18,781
[SPEAKER_00]: And so is Trump, of course, he's on trial in New York this week.

740
01:03:18,841 --> 01:03:20,081
[SPEAKER_00]: This one's a federal trial, though.

741
01:03:20,982 --> 01:03:22,902
[SPEAKER_00]: So it'll be interesting to see how the media treats it.

742
01:03:23,003 --> 01:03:31,486
[SPEAKER_00]: I noticed that all of the major media pretty much have an article out today talking about Bob being on trial.

743
01:03:32,367 --> 01:03:34,728
[SPEAKER_00]: And they all say something about the gold bars.

744
01:03:35,488 --> 01:03:40,730
[SPEAKER_00]: Every every outlet says something about like Politico.

745
01:03:40,770 --> 01:03:41,751
[SPEAKER_00]: This one's pretty typical.

746
01:03:43,652 --> 01:03:44,112
[SPEAKER_00]: They have it.

747
01:03:44,628 --> 01:03:46,650
[SPEAKER_00]: Not on their front page right here.

748
01:03:46,690 --> 01:03:51,454
[SPEAKER_00]: So this would kind of be below the fold in a way, maybe not bottom of the front page.

749
01:03:52,235 --> 01:03:56,698
[SPEAKER_00]: This right here, gold bars in Google searches, the damning evidence in Bob Menendez corruption trial.

750
01:03:57,359 --> 01:04:06,447
[SPEAKER_00]: And every, basically every major news media, WaPo, New York Times, whoever has a story about Menendez on their front page.

751
01:04:07,147 --> 01:04:08,188
[SPEAKER_00]: Look at that subhead there.

752
01:04:08,669 --> 01:04:10,190
[SPEAKER_00]: It's actually kind of Jimmy's wrestling.

753
01:04:10,646 --> 01:04:13,647
[SPEAKER_00]: Prosecutors must tie the gold bars to official acts.

754
01:04:13,827 --> 01:04:14,167
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

755
01:04:14,967 --> 01:04:17,988
[SPEAKER_00]: So more official acts in the in the narrative.

756
01:04:18,008 --> 01:04:18,168
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

757
01:04:18,848 --> 01:04:19,149
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

758
01:04:19,249 --> 01:04:40,095
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's one of the things is that One of the things that Bob has tried to get charges dismissed on as he said that he tried to the speech and debate clause defense and He's tried to say that none of his official acts none of the things he did as a senator are Tied to him being paid the gold bars or tied to him

759
01:04:52,990 --> 01:04:53,490
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I came back.

760
01:04:53,830 --> 01:04:55,190
[SPEAKER_00]: She's really, she's the handler.

761
01:04:55,811 --> 01:05:01,792
[SPEAKER_00]: She's the liaison between Bob and the Qataris and the Egyptians.

762
01:05:01,892 --> 01:05:07,034
[SPEAKER_00]: So anyway, this is gonna be in the news this week and I'm paying attention to how the media treats it.

763
01:05:07,614 --> 01:05:11,495
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's a good sign that they're all running a story about it on a Sunday.

764
01:05:11,515 --> 01:05:14,296
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that means that they're ready.

765
01:05:14,376 --> 01:05:16,417
[SPEAKER_00]: They're like, we have to cut.

766
01:05:17,230 --> 01:05:19,111
[SPEAKER_00]: Bob Menendez, this is not going to go well for him.

767
01:05:19,651 --> 01:05:29,638
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like they're priming the pump to cut him, just like just like we see them all with articles this weekend about Trump and the trial.

768
01:05:29,958 --> 01:05:33,880
[SPEAKER_00]: And then basically mentioning, see, did this one have it?

769
01:05:33,900 --> 01:05:39,103
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think Politico did.

770
01:05:39,183 --> 01:05:40,184
[SPEAKER_00]: Politico had.

771
01:05:41,885 --> 01:05:43,506
[SPEAKER_00]: They just did a recap of it.

772
01:05:46,775 --> 01:05:48,336
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me see, what did CNN call it?

773
01:05:52,540 --> 01:05:55,923
[SPEAKER_00]: I was looking, I want to see their headlines on the Trump trial, because that was what I was going to talk to next.

774
01:05:56,324 --> 01:05:56,544
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

775
01:05:56,624 --> 01:05:56,924
[SPEAKER_00]: There we go.

776
01:05:56,944 --> 01:05:57,765
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.

777
01:05:57,785 --> 01:05:58,686
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to get that in just a minute.

778
01:05:58,706 --> 01:06:03,190
[SPEAKER_00]: So the next thing is Democrat Rep.

779
01:06:03,490 --> 01:06:04,311
[SPEAKER_00]: Henry Quellar.

780
01:06:05,394 --> 01:06:07,875
[SPEAKER_00]: or KR, or whatever, from Texas.

781
01:06:08,295 --> 01:06:20,199
[SPEAKER_00]: He was indicted last week on 14 counts for basically the same thing as Senator Menendez was indicted for, taking money from Azerbaijan in exchange for influencing US policy.

782
01:06:20,660 --> 01:06:27,302
[SPEAKER_00]: The difference is that Henry Cuellar has been charged, or Cuellar, has been charged as a spy.

783
01:06:28,359 --> 01:06:30,060
[SPEAKER_00]: He's been charged under U.S.

784
01:06:30,140 --> 01:06:33,522
[SPEAKER_00]: like it's like 18 U.S.C.

785
01:06:33,983 --> 01:06:34,483
[SPEAKER_00]: 219 or something.

786
01:06:35,143 --> 01:06:44,229
[SPEAKER_00]: But it's specifically he's charged as being a spy for another country, not just being not far of violations, not bribe.

787
01:06:44,769 --> 01:06:45,730
[SPEAKER_00]: It's all those things, too.

788
01:06:46,390 --> 01:06:50,273
[SPEAKER_00]: But he's explicitly charged with being a spy for Azerbaijan.

789
01:06:51,192 --> 01:06:55,213
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's another level than what Menendez was.

790
01:06:55,273 --> 01:06:56,033
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's even worse.

791
01:06:56,554 --> 01:06:58,114
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, the narratives are all going around.

792
01:06:58,134 --> 01:07:12,058
[SPEAKER_00]: I even saw Trump push the narrative that the Biden administration is going after this dim rep because he's conservative on the border and they're taking out a a conservative Democrat because he's he because of whatever.

793
01:07:12,098 --> 01:07:14,139
[SPEAKER_00]: He disagreed with the Biden administration one too many times.

794
01:07:15,871 --> 01:07:16,731
[SPEAKER_00]: That's all narrative.

795
01:07:17,132 --> 01:07:19,133
[SPEAKER_00]: I really don't care about this guy's politics.

796
01:07:19,153 --> 01:07:23,235
[SPEAKER_00]: What I care about is that he was a literal effing spy for another country.

797
01:07:23,675 --> 01:07:27,257
[SPEAKER_00]: And he took and he took tens of thousands of dollars in exchange for a conservative spy.

798
01:07:27,697 --> 01:07:28,157
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't care.

799
01:07:28,217 --> 01:07:30,058
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't care what his border policies are.

800
01:07:31,179 --> 01:07:32,439
[SPEAKER_00]: But Trump is feeding that narrative.

801
01:07:32,499 --> 01:07:34,360
[SPEAKER_00]: And there's something interesting about it.

802
01:07:34,621 --> 01:07:45,266
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the reasons he's doing it is because I think that it's it's I think it's it's cover for this operation because there's

803
01:07:47,031 --> 01:07:49,212
[SPEAKER_00]: Azerbaijan did not just go to Rep.

804
01:07:49,232 --> 01:07:53,775
[SPEAKER_00]: Henry Cuellar and just offer him this deal.

805
01:07:54,735 --> 01:08:10,223
[SPEAKER_00]: Azerbaijan went on a very specific campaign to recruit politicians from all parties and offer them all sorts of contracts and money and bribes to do this stuff for Azerbaijan and influence US policy.

806
01:08:10,583 --> 01:08:12,464
[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't think Cuellar is the only one.

807
01:08:12,544 --> 01:08:15,166
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm very doubtful that Cuellar is the only person who took money.

808
01:08:16,138 --> 01:08:39,578
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, there's a, there's about a dozen or so people that are in Congress who went with Cuellar on trips to Asia, Bajon and met with the exact same people or who went on different trips and met with those exact same people and, or went to this one, like forum thing, the Asia Bajon put together with this group who were tasked with finding us politicians to bribe.

809
01:08:40,519 --> 01:08:44,502
[SPEAKER_00]: And a number of those people, at least a half dozen, maybe more have been interviewed.

810
01:08:44,980 --> 01:08:49,503
[SPEAKER_00]: by the FBI in connection with the investigation into Henry Cuellar.

811
01:08:49,963 --> 01:08:59,609
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think, you know how we're always talking about end of D party, like just as like Q followers, drop followers, talking about end of D party.

812
01:08:59,629 --> 01:09:04,612
[SPEAKER_00]: And we're talking about that people forced to resign were put in submission.

813
01:09:04,672 --> 01:09:11,777
[SPEAKER_00]: And if you only knew how corrupt Congress was, like all these drops that allude to how corrupt Congress was and allude to this big house cleaning happening.

814
01:09:13,112 --> 01:09:14,753
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think this Cuellar thing is part of that.

815
01:09:14,793 --> 01:09:31,146
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that's another motivator for Trump coming out and giving, giving cover, giving kayfabe to the whole thing is because it's an operation to take down a group of people in Congress who were taking foreign money, just like Senator Menendez was taking foreign money.

816
01:09:31,166 --> 01:09:34,689
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I think it's pretty neat that we have

817
01:09:36,550 --> 01:09:41,973
[SPEAKER_00]: Senator Menendez on trial this week, Cuellar getting indicted for taking money from foreign countries.

818
01:09:42,613 --> 01:09:52,878
[SPEAKER_00]: And then the Democrats main storyline is going to be Trump on trial because some people he knows paid money to porn stars to keep them quiet.

819
01:09:53,458 --> 01:09:53,698
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

820
01:09:54,479 --> 01:09:54,659
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

821
01:09:54,679 --> 01:09:56,600
[SPEAKER_00]: What's what's a bigger deal to the normie?

822
01:09:57,100 --> 01:09:57,400
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

823
01:09:57,520 --> 01:10:00,962
[SPEAKER_00]: Like like put the Trump hush money trial up there.

824
01:10:01,002 --> 01:10:02,062
[SPEAKER_00]: Both are happening in New York.

825
01:10:02,102 --> 01:10:03,143
[SPEAKER_00]: Both are happening in Manhattan.

826
01:10:03,763 --> 01:10:14,232
[SPEAKER_00]: put the Senator Menendez trial up against the trust, the Trump hush money trial, which one has is more, uh, egregious, which one had a bigger impact on us foreign policy.

827
01:10:15,073 --> 01:10:20,218
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, and it, uh, it is, uh, interesting to me too, that again, the sub had caught my attention there.

828
01:10:20,838 --> 01:10:26,083
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think there's any coincidences in this info war or the actual war going on.

829
01:10:26,143 --> 01:10:30,306
[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of, a lot of the actual war going on is the law is the legal realm.

830
01:10:30,387 --> 01:10:30,787
[SPEAKER_00]: It's in the,

831
01:10:31,748 --> 01:10:45,702
[SPEAKER_00]: The precedents being set the precedents being a lot of times I think we say precedents being set, but really when a precedent is set oftentimes that means it's a remodeling of an existing framework you know something something that had been.

832
01:10:46,383 --> 01:10:51,107
[SPEAKER_00]: established previously is amended in order to set the new precedent.

833
01:10:51,468 --> 01:10:57,013
[SPEAKER_00]: You've referenced this often recently with regards to the narrowing of presidential authority.

834
01:10:57,393 --> 01:11:05,580
[SPEAKER_00]: And one of the major things we've talked about quite a bit on the power hour regarding Trump and his trials is a narrowing or a narrowing or a

835
01:11:06,821 --> 01:11:15,087
[SPEAKER_00]: A fleshed out, more solidified definition of official acts, sort of a line of demarcation between what is an official act.

836
01:11:15,428 --> 01:11:26,116
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously that's talking about a president, but it's interesting that we've got other players here that are on trial for lesser offices, but the same concept.

837
01:11:26,576 --> 01:11:36,262
[SPEAKER_00]: official acts is what the media is telling us is going to be key to whether or not defining those official acts is going to be key to these indictments.

838
01:11:36,703 --> 01:11:40,345
[SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, it's not just about presidential authority.

839
01:11:40,665 --> 01:11:50,732
[SPEAKER_00]: We're looking about what we would like to move into an America First future, wherein all representatives of the American people have to be very careful

840
01:11:51,292 --> 01:12:07,359
[SPEAKER_00]: about the ways that they are acting when they are in that in those seats of power if it's just the president sure it would make a difference but if all of congress has this super broad gray area that they're able to step on either side of the official axe line

841
01:12:07,739 --> 01:12:11,721
[SPEAKER_00]: versus glad handing, as you put it earlier, that's not something we want.

842
01:12:11,981 --> 01:12:17,463
[SPEAKER_00]: Then the swamp remains and the president just comes in and out and they can weather new presidents.

843
01:12:17,783 --> 01:12:22,144
[SPEAKER_00]: But if they're the ones who get the book thrown at them, what it also does, this is more generational.

844
01:12:22,484 --> 01:12:31,488
[SPEAKER_00]: But if people like these representatives get the book thrown at them because of acts committed, official acts committed, or things that are argued as official acts,

845
01:12:32,208 --> 01:12:33,890
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, enriching acts and all of that.

846
01:12:34,331 --> 01:12:37,735
[SPEAKER_00]: It starts to disincentivize the swamp itself.

847
01:12:38,215 --> 01:12:47,206
[SPEAKER_00]: It starts to disincentivize the structure behind it that attracts these kinds of figures, criminals into this sort of swampy, um,

848
01:12:47,947 --> 01:12:48,607
[SPEAKER_00]: environment.

849
01:12:49,148 --> 01:13:12,877
[SPEAKER_00]: If they know that going into this environment they no longer have all this gray area and this line straddling to hide behind regarding what deals they make when there are representatives, then it's going to discourage a whole host of the usual suspects and those criminals are going to go back to Wall Street where they're most comfortable and where they tend to graduate from Washington, D.C.

850
01:13:13,257 --> 01:13:13,497
[SPEAKER_00]: into.

851
01:13:14,738 --> 01:13:18,363
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and let me tie this back to what you said with Uranium One.

852
01:13:19,705 --> 01:13:21,648
[SPEAKER_00]: Guess who also took money from Azerbaijan?

853
01:13:23,030 --> 01:13:23,550
[SPEAKER_00]: Hillary Clinton.

854
01:13:24,051 --> 01:13:24,752
[SPEAKER_00]: The Podesta Group.

855
01:13:25,753 --> 01:13:26,214
[SPEAKER_00]: Interesting.

856
01:13:27,396 --> 01:13:31,702
[SPEAKER_00]: And guess what connects to the Trump hush money trial?

857
01:13:32,375 --> 01:13:45,725
[SPEAKER_00]: some of these people that are involved in the Podesta group and Uranium One and all things Clinton, because the the hush money thing is just a continuation of the witch hunt and the witch is Hillary.

858
01:13:47,507 --> 01:13:49,148
[SPEAKER_00]: So let's talk about the hush money trial.

859
01:13:49,268 --> 01:13:51,910
[SPEAKER_00]: Right before this trial started, all the media ran out.

860
01:13:51,930 --> 01:13:57,194
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think I pointed this out on an episode of Defected that all the media was priming their articles about this trial.

861
01:13:57,715 --> 01:13:59,456
[SPEAKER_00]: They were all putting out articles about how

862
01:14:00,250 --> 01:14:06,115
[SPEAKER_00]: The other cases are on hold or, you know, there there's delays and there's things going on with them.

863
01:14:06,175 --> 01:14:07,656
[SPEAKER_00]: But this is the first one.

864
01:14:07,696 --> 01:14:09,557
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's going to be difficult.

865
01:14:09,597 --> 01:14:11,279
[SPEAKER_00]: Here's the challenge that Bragg has.

866
01:14:11,299 --> 01:14:14,981
[SPEAKER_00]: And they're all kind of like hedging a little bit before this this trial started.

867
01:14:15,001 --> 01:14:18,304
[SPEAKER_00]: And this is the worst case of all the cases that were brought against Trump.

868
01:14:18,344 --> 01:14:19,565
[SPEAKER_00]: This is the absolute worst one.

869
01:14:19,605 --> 01:14:20,646
[SPEAKER_00]: It's the most tenuous.

870
01:14:21,206 --> 01:14:22,507
[SPEAKER_00]: It's the most convoluted.

871
01:14:23,008 --> 01:14:25,129
[SPEAKER_00]: In a lot of ways, it's the least like.

872
01:14:26,410 --> 01:14:27,831
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want to use the word sexy.

873
01:14:28,749 --> 01:14:30,591
[SPEAKER_00]: but it's like the least marketable.

874
01:14:31,111 --> 01:14:31,892
[SPEAKER_00]: No, that's not true.

875
01:14:32,272 --> 01:14:35,435
[SPEAKER_00]: It's maybe the most marketable as far as like the scandalous element.

876
01:14:51,749 --> 01:14:52,650
[SPEAKER_00]: We've lost you again.

877
01:14:55,140 --> 01:14:55,680
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, there you are.

878
01:14:56,561 --> 01:14:57,161
[SPEAKER_00]: So bizarre.

879
01:14:57,281 --> 01:15:00,083
[SPEAKER_00]: It'll be it'll be crystal clear and then it freezes.

880
01:15:01,164 --> 01:15:04,406
[SPEAKER_00]: But it's only like every 15 minutes or so.

881
01:15:05,527 --> 01:15:06,807
[SPEAKER_00]: I have no idea.

882
01:15:08,108 --> 01:15:11,850
[SPEAKER_00]: Somebody is targeting the human household directly.

883
01:15:13,692 --> 01:15:15,393
[SPEAKER_00]: And you mentioned Clinton Foundation.

884
01:15:15,473 --> 01:15:16,013
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

885
01:15:16,033 --> 01:15:18,715
[SPEAKER_00]: We want to see if there's any pattern to what you're mentioning.

886
01:15:19,976 --> 01:15:20,236
[SPEAKER_00]: Go ahead.

887
01:15:20,276 --> 01:15:20,676
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, you were

888
01:15:22,932 --> 01:15:26,613
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, what I thought on the Clinton on the connections there with uranium one.

889
01:15:26,653 --> 01:15:26,874
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

890
01:15:26,934 --> 01:15:43,680
[SPEAKER_00]: What I was what I was saying is that of the cases that that are brought against Trump, the Hushmoney trial is the one that while it's marketable because of the sensationalism in it, it's not marketable as it as far as making a case that this man should not be president.

891
01:15:44,631 --> 01:15:47,237
[SPEAKER_00]: Like the doc stuff and the classified information.

892
01:15:47,838 --> 01:15:50,543
[SPEAKER_00]: Much easier to make a case to a normie American.

893
01:15:50,904 --> 01:15:55,253
[SPEAKER_00]: Can't let this guy be president because he's not safe with America's secrets.

894
01:15:56,084 --> 01:15:56,424
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.

895
01:15:56,805 --> 01:16:02,009
[SPEAKER_00]: J6 can't let this guy be president because he inspired an insurrection at the Capitol.

896
01:16:02,190 --> 01:16:02,450
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

897
01:16:02,830 --> 01:16:04,932
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not commenting on the truth of this, guys.

898
01:16:04,952 --> 01:16:08,235
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just saying that like as far as marketing the narrative for the case.

899
01:16:08,616 --> 01:16:09,396
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

900
01:16:09,837 --> 01:16:11,578
[SPEAKER_00]: With Georgia stuff, it's like, yep.

901
01:16:11,939 --> 01:16:21,107
[SPEAKER_00]: He pressured a Georgian officials trying to get them to help him win the presidential election through some sort of crooked dealings with the votes on the back end.

902
01:16:21,187 --> 01:16:21,287
[SPEAKER_00]: OK.

903
01:16:22,267 --> 01:16:38,739
[SPEAKER_00]: With the hush money thing, it's two women he may or may not have had affairs with years and years ago were threatening to go to the media with the story about the affairs to upset his campaign and his friends paid them money to shut up.

904
01:16:40,421 --> 01:16:42,042
[SPEAKER_00]: Allegedly, allegedly.

905
01:16:43,063 --> 01:16:49,508
[SPEAKER_00]: Like that, even if you assume that that's what happens to your point, it's it's it's sort of, I mean.

906
01:16:50,791 --> 01:16:59,257
[SPEAKER_00]: This is where we can really see the true genius of kind of the exposure the let the enemy expose never interfere with an enemy in the process of destroying himself.

907
01:16:59,497 --> 01:16:59,697
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

908
01:16:59,937 --> 01:17:05,842
[SPEAKER_00]: And and you know that that's probably in a nutshell as the Q drops alluded to what the whole Biden.

909
01:17:06,582 --> 01:17:11,604
[SPEAKER_00]: administration being allowed to take power, take however much power they've been allowed to take.

910
01:17:12,705 --> 01:17:13,605
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what it's been about.

911
01:17:13,645 --> 01:17:33,374
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, there's a reason we talk about the exposure to the American people so often, but I think the way that you frame that is important because if you had, the way I sort of look at the Biden administration is the first two years of it, 21, 22, Donald Trump really was, I kind of refer to him as silent running during that time.

912
01:17:34,414 --> 01:17:37,876
[SPEAKER_00]: He really, he's never disappeared from the public narrative.

913
01:17:37,936 --> 01:18:01,891
[SPEAKER_00]: Of course, Donald Trump is always to some degree in the narrative, if not himself directly, his supporters, the movement he inspired, we stayed strong during that time, even when it was very disheartening to a lot of us, of course, that ended up, I mean, Badlands really kind of grew out of that sort of sentiment of this void of MAGA and this need for us to kind of band together.

914
01:18:02,811 --> 01:18:06,952
[SPEAKER_00]: But circa 2023, Trump really came back.

915
01:18:07,372 --> 01:18:10,493
[SPEAKER_00]: End of 2022, you could argue, with the announcement of his candidacy.

916
01:18:10,573 --> 01:18:13,454
[SPEAKER_00]: November 2022, he was back with a bang.

917
01:18:13,754 --> 01:18:16,595
[SPEAKER_00]: He kind of declared narrative war on Khan, Inc.

918
01:18:16,935 --> 01:18:22,076
[SPEAKER_00]: He spent the next year or so really fighting against Khan, Inc., and then he took aim at the Biden administration.

919
01:18:22,376 --> 01:18:31,579
[SPEAKER_00]: But when you talk about these trials, it's not enough that the Biden administration is on trial in the court of public opinion, as we often reference.

920
01:18:32,319 --> 01:18:38,041
[SPEAKER_00]: It's congruent, it's parallel with Donald Trump literally being in trial.

921
01:18:38,441 --> 01:18:49,824
[SPEAKER_00]: And like you just said, for things that are tangential at best, they're basically, if I could sum it up in a word, it would be that Trump is on trial for character.

922
01:18:50,868 --> 01:18:58,977
[SPEAKER_00]: to the American people, where Biden is not on trial yet, but he's on trial in the court of public opinion for competence.

923
01:18:59,618 --> 01:19:01,600
[SPEAKER_00]: So you've got competence versus character.

924
01:19:02,261 --> 01:19:05,465
[SPEAKER_00]: And the funny thing about Trump's character is

925
01:19:06,818 --> 01:19:24,667
[SPEAKER_00]: The type of people in the collective mind that are going to be influenced to see Donald Trump as of poor character already firmly had that belief because of the narrative warfare of the entire first Trump administration and leading up to it, right?

926
01:19:25,187 --> 01:19:30,770
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's sort of like these trials can't actually gain anything new

927
01:19:31,690 --> 01:19:47,683
[SPEAKER_00]: from the establishment, besides literally jailing Trump and somehow making him uneligible, which as far as everything we've seen is not a possibility here, not jailing him, jailing him as a possibility, making him ineligible to be the president of the United States seems

928
01:19:48,263 --> 01:19:50,503
[SPEAKER_00]: borderline impossible for them to pull off here, right?

929
01:19:50,824 --> 01:19:54,824
[SPEAKER_00]: So we're looking at a character assassination, but the character is dead.

930
01:19:55,344 --> 01:20:02,006
[SPEAKER_00]: So now all they're doing is they're drawing a direct parallel between the character of Trump and the competence of Biden.

931
01:20:02,446 --> 01:20:15,508
[SPEAKER_00]: And we're in a period of time in the American zeitgeist, largely due to economic stresses, but also due to stresses about what's escalating in the Middle East and worldwide, and probably what will escalate heading toward November.

932
01:20:15,949 --> 01:20:17,029
[SPEAKER_00]: We've got competence.

933
01:20:17,129 --> 01:20:17,769
[SPEAKER_00]: It turns out

934
01:20:18,089 --> 01:20:27,198
[SPEAKER_00]: that on the ballot in 2024, competence is probably going to factor much higher than character did in 2020.

935
01:20:27,939 --> 01:20:35,947
[SPEAKER_00]: Character, now we believe the 2020 election was stolen, but even if I want to make a devil's advocate argument of what hurt Donald Trump in the 2020 election,

936
01:20:37,048 --> 01:20:40,150
[SPEAKER_00]: We were coming off of a Trump four years.

937
01:20:40,510 --> 01:20:42,431
[SPEAKER_00]: We were in a good economic situation.

938
01:20:42,731 --> 01:20:44,332
[SPEAKER_00]: Americans felt good, right?

939
01:20:44,752 --> 01:20:51,296
[SPEAKER_00]: And ironically, when these Americans who didn't like Donald Trump felt good about their lives, they felt like they could take a risk.

940
01:20:51,596 --> 01:20:52,537
[SPEAKER_00]: They could get them out of there.

941
01:20:53,097 --> 01:20:56,479
[SPEAKER_00]: Because they don't like his character, they can get somebody new in.

942
01:20:56,699 --> 01:21:04,283
[SPEAKER_00]: When your sports team is winning, and wheeling and dealing, and they're winning championship after championship, you're like, who cares about this third line setter?

943
01:21:04,563 --> 01:21:06,083
[SPEAKER_00]: Get him out of here in hockey.

944
01:21:06,223 --> 01:21:07,884
[SPEAKER_00]: Who cares about the backup quarterback?

945
01:21:08,144 --> 01:21:09,605
[SPEAKER_00]: Who cares about that linebacker?

946
01:21:09,785 --> 01:21:11,526
[SPEAKER_00]: He didn't have anything to do with our success.

947
01:21:11,966 --> 01:21:12,887
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a brain drain.

948
01:21:13,467 --> 01:21:18,892
[SPEAKER_00]: And then all of a sudden, two seasons later, there's a few losses, and then a few more losses.

949
01:21:19,452 --> 01:21:32,304
[SPEAKER_00]: And then it turns out that that center, and that assistant coach, and that draft analyst, and that money manager, it turns out that together, they actually were kind of important to how this team operated.

950
01:21:33,004 --> 01:21:35,265
[SPEAKER_00]: And apply that to the entire country.

951
01:21:35,425 --> 01:21:41,268
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's what people are starting to look and even even the one they're not going to say it publicly, but they're starting to look at Donald Trump and go.

952
01:21:41,948 --> 01:21:43,149
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't like his character.

953
01:21:43,309 --> 01:21:53,113
[SPEAKER_00]: I already know his character is shitty, but I also like being able to afford my mortgage and I also like the country not being under threat of nuclear Holocaust, right?

954
01:21:53,713 --> 01:21:57,615
[SPEAKER_00]: Right and to to your point about DJT being in jail.

955
01:21:57,735 --> 01:21:59,976
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to say something about that, but first I want to point out.

956
01:22:01,035 --> 01:22:22,112
[SPEAKER_00]: that at this trial, the way it's gone is that some of the key players that have been on the stand that were involved in this thing, such as David Pecker and Keith Davidson, the attorney for both Karen McDougal and Stormy Daniels, they testified that the money wasn't coming from Trump.

957
01:22:22,152 --> 01:22:25,374
[SPEAKER_00]: The money was coming from Michael Cohen or it came from David Pecker.

958
01:22:26,115 --> 01:22:30,338
[SPEAKER_00]: Their understanding was that Michael Cohen was going to be reimbursed, but the money came from Michael Cohen.

959
01:22:31,107 --> 01:22:31,788
[SPEAKER_00]: That's their testimony.

960
01:22:32,068 --> 01:22:39,014
[SPEAKER_00]: They also testified that they knew that Michael Cohen was not authorized to spend money on behalf of Trump or the Trump org.

961
01:22:39,895 --> 01:22:51,945
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's all about Michael Cohen's word, but it's very obvious that Michael Cohen, Pecker, Davidson, and these ladies dreamed all this up on their own apart from Trump, or at least could have, right?

962
01:22:52,668 --> 01:22:53,910
[SPEAKER_00]: And so it's about reasonable doubt.

963
01:22:54,010 --> 01:22:56,512
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, it seems like they could have dreamed this whole thing up on their own.

964
01:22:56,673 --> 01:22:57,313
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, right.

965
01:22:57,574 --> 01:23:01,638
[SPEAKER_00]: And done it completely apart from Trump and him not have any role in it whatsoever.

966
01:23:01,678 --> 01:23:05,242
[SPEAKER_00]: But they would be doing it because it offered them a couple of things.

967
01:23:06,504 --> 01:23:09,928
[SPEAKER_00]: Cohen wanted to do favors for Trump because he wanted to be in the Trump administration.

968
01:23:11,408 --> 01:23:17,034
[SPEAKER_00]: David Pecker had a motive to buy these stories up because it was an investment in future stories.

969
01:23:17,415 --> 01:23:22,180
[SPEAKER_00]: Either he's investing in it by saying, hey, Trump, I did this for you.

970
01:23:22,281 --> 01:23:29,069
[SPEAKER_00]: Please give me and my magazine's exclusive interviews with you as president because I did this favor for you in the campaign.

971
01:23:29,909 --> 01:23:30,149
[SPEAKER_00]: to a

972
01:23:48,989 --> 01:23:50,890
[SPEAKER_00]: Charlie Sheen a couple others.

973
01:23:51,050 --> 01:23:52,992
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so there's a temp.

974
01:23:53,032 --> 01:24:02,578
[SPEAKER_00]: There's like a template here We're like these guys These same people have done this same setup on other celebrities and now they're doing it to Trump during an election cycle, right?

975
01:24:03,238 --> 01:24:06,960
[SPEAKER_00]: The maximum leverage that's so that's come out during his trial and it just doesn't help brag.

976
01:24:07,421 --> 01:24:12,684
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't help brag He needed Keith Davidson the lawyer to say well the money was coming from Trump.

977
01:24:12,704 --> 01:24:12,724
I

978
01:24:13,297 --> 01:24:14,438
[SPEAKER_00]: Trump's we're doing this for Trump.

979
01:24:14,458 --> 01:24:15,599
[SPEAKER_00]: Trump's the one who wanted this done.

980
01:24:15,979 --> 01:24:16,519
[SPEAKER_00]: He didn't do that.

981
01:24:16,899 --> 01:24:18,480
[SPEAKER_00]: He said, Michael Cohen told me to do this.

982
01:24:18,801 --> 01:24:20,482
[SPEAKER_00]: Michael Cohen said he needed this done now.

983
01:24:20,862 --> 01:24:22,243
[SPEAKER_00]: Michael Cohen set up the LLC's.

984
01:24:22,583 --> 01:24:24,204
[SPEAKER_00]: Michael Cohen, it's Michael Cohen's money.

985
01:24:24,244 --> 01:24:25,005
[SPEAKER_00]: He had to go get it.

986
01:24:25,025 --> 01:24:27,326
[SPEAKER_00]: He was mad about it because Trump wouldn't give him the money.

987
01:24:27,806 --> 01:24:29,748
[SPEAKER_00]: He had to go use his own money and he was pissed.

988
01:24:30,628 --> 01:24:31,589
[SPEAKER_00]: That didn't help Brack's case.

989
01:24:31,729 --> 01:24:39,314
[SPEAKER_00]: And then last week, there were a few things that really didn't help Brack's case, but maybe the most significant one was not

990
01:24:39,864 --> 01:24:43,167
[SPEAKER_00]: Stormy Daniels being on the stand and doing a terrible job.

991
01:24:43,627 --> 01:24:48,191
[SPEAKER_00]: She got on the stand and told about Donald Trump and their sex acts, and it just didn't come off well.

992
01:24:48,991 --> 01:24:56,317
[SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, porn stars on the stand talking about sex is just not a good idea.

993
01:24:57,098 --> 01:25:00,560
[SPEAKER_00]: It just, I don't think a jury's gonna be very friendly to it.

994
01:25:01,101 --> 01:25:04,563
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just like, there's no way for it, it's always uncomfortable.

995
01:25:05,706 --> 01:25:08,049
[SPEAKER_00]: And her story didn't sound credible.

996
01:25:08,430 --> 01:25:13,377
[SPEAKER_00]: And she's changed her story so much throughout the years that she doesn't have credibility anyway.

997
01:25:14,355 --> 01:25:25,204
[SPEAKER_00]: So it just didn't work out to be this moment where it was like, oh, this poor woman, this man, they had a relationship that he wanted to keep secret and he paid her all this.

998
01:25:25,285 --> 01:25:26,646
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, how are you going to feel sorry for it?

999
01:25:27,166 --> 01:25:32,871
[SPEAKER_00]: Can we can we take a pause right here on this topic before you before you move on to the rest of it?

1000
01:25:33,472 --> 01:25:35,994
[SPEAKER_00]: If your point could not be made any more firm.

1001
01:25:37,754 --> 01:25:42,935
[SPEAKER_00]: This is one of the culture setters of the establishment.

1002
01:25:43,475 --> 01:25:48,236
[SPEAKER_00]: Talk about character assassination campaign against Donald Trump circa 2015 and beyond.

1003
01:25:48,676 --> 01:25:52,977
[SPEAKER_00]: Bill Maher was one of the leaders of that character assassination.

1004
01:25:53,437 --> 01:25:59,919
[SPEAKER_00]: This is how the Stormy Daniels testimony came off to said establishment, said cultural leadership.

1005
01:26:00,559 --> 01:26:02,359
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna let you do this.

1006
01:26:02,439 --> 01:26:05,400
[SPEAKER_00]: While you do this, I'm gonna close my browser and come.

1007
01:26:07,739 --> 01:26:11,322
[SPEAKER_00]: OK, let me play this here.

1008
01:26:11,342 --> 01:26:12,142
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.

1009
01:26:12,202 --> 01:26:12,963
[SPEAKER_00]: Here's Bill Maher.

1010
01:26:13,303 --> 01:26:15,404
[SPEAKER_01]: First, I asked her why she had sex with Trump.

1011
01:26:15,745 --> 01:26:16,305
[SPEAKER_02]: Listen to that.

1012
01:26:16,385 --> 01:26:18,447
[SPEAKER_02]: And then listen to what she says after that.

1013
01:26:18,727 --> 01:26:23,330
[SPEAKER_02]: And then we're going to talk about the trial because it's quite a variance of what she said to me in 2018.

1014
01:26:24,471 --> 01:26:25,792
[SPEAKER_02]: Why did you fuck Donald Trump?

1015
01:26:30,506 --> 01:26:32,528
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, but you say it's not a Me Too case.

1016
01:26:32,568 --> 01:26:33,509
[SPEAKER_02]: It is not a Me Too case.

1017
01:26:33,629 --> 01:26:35,552
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I wasn't assaulted.

1018
01:26:36,473 --> 01:26:40,717
[SPEAKER_02]: I wasn't attacked or raped or coerced or blackmailed.

1019
01:26:40,737 --> 01:26:43,761
[SPEAKER_02]: They tried to shove me in the Me Too box to further their own agenda.

1020
01:26:44,421 --> 01:26:49,267
[SPEAKER_02]: And first of all, I didn't want any part of that because it's not the truth and I'm not a victim in that regard.

1021
01:26:50,348 --> 01:26:51,650
[SPEAKER_01]: That's not what she's saying now.

1022
01:26:54,081 --> 01:26:56,683
[SPEAKER_01]: She's talking about he was bigger and blocking the way.

1023
01:26:57,023 --> 01:26:58,804
[SPEAKER_01]: It's all the Me Too buzzwords.

1024
01:26:59,464 --> 01:27:03,446
[SPEAKER_01]: She said there was a power imbalance of power for sure.

1025
01:27:04,007 --> 01:27:05,608
[SPEAKER_01]: My hands were shaking so hard.

1026
01:27:05,928 --> 01:27:07,268
[SPEAKER_01]: She said she blacked out.

1027
01:27:08,929 --> 01:27:09,590
[SPEAKER_01]: Blacked out?

1028
01:27:09,830 --> 01:27:10,910
[SPEAKER_01]: She's a porn star.

1029
01:27:13,512 --> 01:27:14,652
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think sex.

1030
01:27:14,692 --> 01:27:17,374
[SPEAKER_00]: That doesn't mean she's been subjected to the likes of Donald Trump.

1031
01:27:20,616 --> 01:27:22,677
[SPEAKER_00]: I might black out too.

1032
01:27:25,123 --> 01:27:26,686
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you really think she blacked out?

1033
01:27:26,726 --> 01:27:30,113
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, a porn star is used to having sex with people she does not know.

1034
01:27:30,814 --> 01:27:31,576
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the job.

1035
01:27:31,636 --> 01:27:33,600
[SPEAKER_01]: It's kind of like Stormy Bob, Bob Stormy.

1036
01:27:36,514 --> 01:27:54,390
[SPEAKER_00]: So while we see if we can get Kyle back in here, obviously what's significant about that is, again, Bill Maher, one of the key narrative setters, leading the pitchforks, marching in the streets against Donald Trump, character assassination.

1037
01:27:54,910 --> 01:27:58,733
[SPEAKER_00]: And now the attempted character assassination is going so poorly for them

1038
01:27:59,454 --> 01:28:14,352
[SPEAKER_00]: That he was the one who was going viral talking about how this is not what stormy said at the time She's completely changed her tune and uh, yeah now we've got so even if we want to look at them as

1039
01:28:15,464 --> 01:28:39,159
[SPEAKER_00]: Character assassinating trump and this is what the whole move is with this specific trial Maybe it could have some sort of effect on the 2024 election, even though that's ridiculous Uh, it's not going that way and the smarter people within the cultural establishment Within that kind of me too era who pushed that crap Are coming to terms with the fact that this is not going well.

1040
01:28:39,699 --> 01:28:43,262
[SPEAKER_00]: So one of the questions I often have with that kind of stuff is

1041
01:28:44,202 --> 01:28:47,484
[SPEAKER_00]: Is Marr aware of more things?

1042
01:28:47,544 --> 01:28:52,408
[SPEAKER_00]: Is he truly reading the tea leaves like he seems to suggest?

1043
01:28:52,428 --> 01:28:56,531
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, is he just observing the narrative like all of us are observing it?

1044
01:28:57,071 --> 01:28:59,633
[SPEAKER_00]: Or is he more plugged in than we know?

1045
01:29:00,093 --> 01:29:04,076
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's starting to get a few hints as to what actually might be going on here.

1046
01:29:04,436 --> 01:29:09,219
[SPEAKER_00]: It also dovetails into some of Kyle's somewhat wacky theories of stormy

1047
01:29:10,908 --> 01:29:19,277
[SPEAKER_00]: maybe not quite being who the enemy thinks she is, just if you evaluate the net effects of her testimony here.

1048
01:29:20,138 --> 01:29:22,160
[SPEAKER_00]: So the establishment doesn't seem super happy about her.

1049
01:29:24,423 --> 01:29:32,391
[SPEAKER_00]: And before we get him back in here, maybe he's left us permanently, but I'll go back and grab some boosts.

1050
01:29:33,496 --> 01:29:39,381
[SPEAKER_00]: We had Israel's 9-11 sent over 17 bucks and says, can't make sense of this, maybe you can.

1051
01:29:39,421 --> 01:29:45,987
[SPEAKER_00]: On the one hand, everyone, global MSM, Antifa, BLM, protesters, academia, Soros, and all the bad actors are anti-Israel.

1052
01:29:46,527 --> 01:29:53,193
[SPEAKER_00]: In Ukraine, taking the opposite side was a no-brainer when all the usual corruptocrats, Biden, Soros, Clinton, Graham, Bush, Obama went pro-Ukraine.

1053
01:29:54,258 --> 01:29:57,502
[SPEAKER_00]: Without divulging details, nothing crosses that wall without Israel knowing about it.

1054
01:29:57,582 --> 01:30:00,125
[SPEAKER_00]: Israel has many paid informants, very high tech manpower.

1055
01:30:00,505 --> 01:30:04,009
[SPEAKER_00]: Tunnels are not built overnight, nor a paraglide is ordered without Israel knowing it.

1056
01:30:04,109 --> 01:30:04,390
[SPEAKER_00]: Thoughts?

1057
01:30:05,291 --> 01:30:08,675
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, this has been one of the key questions from the start of the Israel stuff.

1058
01:30:08,715 --> 01:30:10,357
[SPEAKER_00]: I certainly don't know the answer to it.

1059
01:30:12,981 --> 01:30:14,462
[SPEAKER_00]: But I like that it's being asked.

1060
01:30:14,482 --> 01:30:16,003
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's being debated in public.

1061
01:30:17,084 --> 01:30:26,031
[SPEAKER_00]: The establishment can't really agree on whether they're going after Israel for allowing a terrorist strike to happen, whether they were involved in it, whether it was incompetence.

1062
01:30:26,071 --> 01:30:34,518
[SPEAKER_00]: You obviously are having people within Israel resigning from positions, which obviously isn't a good look for them.

1063
01:30:37,279 --> 01:30:38,600
[SPEAKER_00]: I assume we will find out.

1064
01:30:38,680 --> 01:30:41,621
[SPEAKER_00]: I wouldn't quite call it Israel's 9-11 just in terms of impact.

1065
01:30:42,001 --> 01:30:45,422
[SPEAKER_00]: It seems like it was geared around exactly what's going on right now.

1066
01:30:45,442 --> 01:30:50,464
[SPEAKER_00]: Oops.

1067
01:30:50,484 --> 01:30:52,485
[SPEAKER_00]: Should definitely not allow this guy to run the show.

1068
01:30:53,265 --> 01:30:54,025
[SPEAKER_00]: Alright, there he is.

1069
01:30:54,446 --> 01:30:56,726
[SPEAKER_00]: I actually handled that well.

1070
01:30:56,826 --> 01:30:59,327
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, I played that Bill Maher clip.

1071
01:31:00,748 --> 01:31:03,469
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was just making the point that it's.

1072
01:31:05,279 --> 01:31:12,949
[SPEAKER_00]: especially if you include the little spice of wondering whose side Stormy's really on, which you often play with that concept.

1073
01:31:13,890 --> 01:31:14,570
[SPEAKER_00]: Either way,

1074
01:31:15,987 --> 01:31:37,557
[SPEAKER_00]: You've got people that should be people that if this was 2016 to 20 would have jumped all over this testimony and mind it for everything it had to that audience, that audience and the people on the stage with Bill Maher are always ready and willing to dive all the way into the orange man bad stuff.

1075
01:31:38,337 --> 01:31:51,645
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, he wasn't he not only didn't want to jump into it He wanted to pump the brakes on it and say that this isn't what she said last time So we can look at more clandestine readings of what Mars do in there.

1076
01:31:51,705 --> 01:31:52,486
[SPEAKER_00]: And what does he know?

1077
01:31:52,526 --> 01:31:53,226
[SPEAKER_00]: What does he not know?

1078
01:31:53,687 --> 01:32:00,611
[SPEAKER_00]: But if we play with the surface level of it, I've been saying this for a few weeks people like Bill Maher get in their positions and

1079
01:32:00,831 --> 01:32:02,292
[SPEAKER_00]: They're media adjacent.

1080
01:32:02,853 --> 01:32:07,897
[SPEAKER_00]: The Bill Maher's of the world, the Stephen Colbert's of the world, the Jon Stewart's back in the day.

1081
01:32:08,377 --> 01:32:09,658
[SPEAKER_00]: They're not media.

1082
01:32:10,138 --> 01:32:11,700
[SPEAKER_00]: They're not entertainment.

1083
01:32:12,120 --> 01:32:13,681
[SPEAKER_00]: They're entertainment media.

1084
01:32:13,821 --> 01:32:15,923
[SPEAKER_00]: It's some some middle ground commentary.

1085
01:32:17,004 --> 01:32:19,025
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess you could say we're commentary.

1086
01:32:19,045 --> 01:32:19,846
[SPEAKER_00]: But

1087
01:32:22,549 --> 01:32:24,211
[SPEAKER_00]: This is them rebranding.

1088
01:32:24,731 --> 01:32:25,312
[SPEAKER_00]: They're clever.

1089
01:32:25,752 --> 01:32:26,513
[SPEAKER_00]: Ones like Bill Maher.

1090
01:32:26,553 --> 01:32:28,315
[SPEAKER_00]: Bill Maher's weathered many administrations.

1091
01:32:28,695 --> 01:32:33,740
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a white dude on a talk show in Hollywood that has managed to weather the Me Too movement himself.

1092
01:32:34,280 --> 01:32:39,245
[SPEAKER_00]: So he's savvy, politically and culturally, even though he knows who his audience is.

1093
01:32:41,187 --> 01:32:48,673
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think this is him trying to rebrand himself to being reasonable because he sees where the pendulum is swinging.

1094
01:32:49,073 --> 01:32:56,118
[SPEAKER_00]: And he sees that these cases and these trials, they are not going the way, you know, he's obviously got consultants as well.

1095
01:32:56,138 --> 01:33:02,803
[SPEAKER_00]: Bill Maher, like before, contrary to popular belief, somebody like that doesn't go on stage and just start saying random shit about a legal trial.

1096
01:33:03,264 --> 01:33:06,646
[SPEAKER_00]: They clear that stuff with corporate lawyers at HBO and beyond.

1097
01:33:07,147 --> 01:33:08,248
[SPEAKER_00]: They go and say, hey,

1098
01:33:08,968 --> 01:33:13,754
[SPEAKER_00]: What are the chances that this actually results in a conviction?

1099
01:33:13,854 --> 01:33:15,616
[SPEAKER_00]: What are the chances of X, Y and Z?

1100
01:33:16,016 --> 01:33:19,220
[SPEAKER_00]: So then he kind of knows what guardrails he has and what he can say.

1101
01:33:19,580 --> 01:33:21,422
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think that's what's going on there as well.

1102
01:33:21,442 --> 01:33:24,466
[SPEAKER_00]: And he knows that this isn't going to do anything except for make Trump stronger.

1103
01:33:24,506 --> 01:33:26,128
[SPEAKER_00]: And it already is well on its way to doing that.

1104
01:33:27,048 --> 01:33:37,833
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and part of me thinks that's the main thing that he knows, but that's the main – that's the main explanation or the primary explanation for his shift is that he realizes that.

1105
01:33:38,593 --> 01:33:41,194
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think all the media realized that and so did the Democrats.

1106
01:33:43,147 --> 01:33:49,751
[SPEAKER_00]: But what I was going to what I was going to say is that Stormy Daniels isn't the biggest thing that happened this week, although it probably got the most headlines.

1107
01:33:50,532 --> 01:34:02,420
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe the most significant thing that happened this week in that trial was that we learned that the checks that Trump signed to Cohen that Trump allegedly signed were mailed to John McEntee.

1108
01:34:03,581 --> 01:34:03,981
[SPEAKER_00]: First.

1109
01:34:05,402 --> 01:34:08,924
[SPEAKER_00]: And then sent back to Cohen, do you know who John McEntee is?

1110
01:34:09,765 --> 01:34:10,105
[SPEAKER_00]: I do not.

1111
01:34:11,383 --> 01:34:18,009
[SPEAKER_00]: So John McEntee worked in Trump's white house and he's a former quarterback for some team.

1112
01:34:18,610 --> 01:34:19,811
[SPEAKER_00]: Apparently he was really good.

1113
01:34:20,371 --> 01:34:22,793
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I don't know, college football or something.

1114
01:34:23,574 --> 01:34:23,674
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

1115
01:34:23,694 --> 01:34:24,455
[SPEAKER_00]: Like a scholarship.

1116
01:34:24,795 --> 01:34:25,096
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

1117
01:34:25,116 --> 01:34:26,137
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe he played in the NFL.

1118
01:34:26,197 --> 01:34:26,537
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

1119
01:34:27,137 --> 01:34:33,003
[SPEAKER_00]: But I do know is that he perfected Trump's handwriting and signature.

1120
01:34:34,372 --> 01:34:41,216
[SPEAKER_00]: And he used to prank people in the White House by writing fake Trump notes and signing Trump's name.

1121
01:34:42,937 --> 01:34:49,441
[SPEAKER_00]: And there are videos of him, you can look up, of John McEntee, uh, forging Trump's signature.

1122
01:34:51,022 --> 01:34:55,905
[SPEAKER_00]: And he even forged like, uh, some orders for the defense department one time.

1123
01:34:56,845 --> 01:35:01,108
[SPEAKER_00]: Like he sent these orders over to the defense department for some, for something.

1124
01:35:01,949 --> 01:35:03,892
[SPEAKER_00]: And they were like, we don't know anything about this.

1125
01:35:04,413 --> 01:35:05,255
[SPEAKER_00]: And they had to trace it down.

1126
01:35:05,295 --> 01:35:07,178
[SPEAKER_00]: They realized that it was this guy who did it.

1127
01:35:07,198 --> 01:35:08,460
[SPEAKER_00]: It wasn't actually from Trump.

1128
01:35:09,947 --> 01:35:25,516
[SPEAKER_00]: And all these people are back, all these people that are so compromised, all the people that are in the Trump trial as characters, characters in more ways than one in this Trump trial, they're all, I don't know how to word this.

1129
01:35:26,076 --> 01:35:35,341
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure you've talked about this a lot on your show, but from Cohen to now Beginti and on down the line, they seem to be being called as witnesses

1130
01:35:38,197 --> 01:35:42,559
[SPEAKER_00]: in an inverse about the very things that they've been implicated in the past, right?

1131
01:35:42,859 --> 01:35:49,201
[SPEAKER_00]: Typically, you would bring somebody in who's forged signatures in order to implicate somebody else in doing that.

1132
01:35:49,622 --> 01:36:00,166
[SPEAKER_00]: But instead, you're bringing these people in to substantiate the very things that they have been found guilty in the past of lying about.

1133
01:36:01,857 --> 01:36:03,699
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, here's a it's amazing.

1134
01:36:03,939 --> 01:36:05,560
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's almost like a whole roster.

1135
01:36:05,620 --> 01:36:06,822
[SPEAKER_00]: We have this trial.

1136
01:36:10,084 --> 01:36:18,492
[SPEAKER_00]: So you have a situation where, you know, Trump's crimes like they're specifically saying Bragg is saying that each time.

1137
01:36:19,573 --> 01:36:21,575
[SPEAKER_00]: There was a entry made.

1138
01:36:22,335 --> 01:36:26,378
[SPEAKER_00]: An invoice created, an entry made in the ledger, and then a check signed.

1139
01:36:26,519 --> 01:36:27,579
[SPEAKER_00]: Each one is a crime.

1140
01:36:28,280 --> 01:36:32,684
[SPEAKER_00]: Each one is a forgery, is a false record crime under the law.

1141
01:36:33,664 --> 01:36:37,488
[SPEAKER_00]: So these things right here, these checks, each one represents a crime.

1142
01:36:40,037 --> 01:36:52,647
[SPEAKER_00]: Did Trump sign them or did this guy who just happens to be an expert at writing Trump's name and also receive these checks that are in question, did he sign them for Trump and then send them back to Cohen?

1143
01:36:55,690 --> 01:36:57,151
[SPEAKER_00]: And like, here's here's him doing it.

1144
01:36:58,892 --> 01:36:59,673
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a signature.

1145
01:37:02,615 --> 01:37:05,938
[SPEAKER_00]: He has perfected Trump's handwriting and signature.

1146
01:37:07,461 --> 01:37:08,582
[SPEAKER_00]: Isn't that interesting?

1147
01:37:08,763 --> 01:37:13,268
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, that worked in the White House were were fooled by it.

1148
01:37:14,850 --> 01:37:19,815
[SPEAKER_00]: And this this one right here where he forged this one, you're telling me that thing is forged.

1149
01:37:19,875 --> 01:37:21,317
[SPEAKER_00]: Millie responded in disbelief.

1150
01:37:21,337 --> 01:37:25,602
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a forged piece of paper directing a military operation by the president of the United States.

1151
01:37:30,305 --> 01:37:37,709
[SPEAKER_00]: And this is like, anyway, it just blows my, like this, you wanna talk about throwing doubt into a case.

1152
01:37:40,050 --> 01:37:54,038
[SPEAKER_00]: You have a guy, you're talking about written documents, and Trump's signature is pivotal to it, and the guy receiving these documents is known, like the number one thing he's known for is forging Trump's signature.

1153
01:37:55,686 --> 01:37:58,787
[SPEAKER_00]: And Trump's signature is the issue with these documents.

1154
01:37:58,827 --> 01:38:01,508
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's the guy who receives the documents in the first place.

1155
01:38:03,428 --> 01:38:14,471
[SPEAKER_00]: So how like how can any jury ever be like, you know what, I'm going to ignore the guy who's uniquely capable of forging the signature of the man in question and assume the defendant signed it himself.

1156
01:38:15,611 --> 01:38:18,432
[SPEAKER_00]: Just like the irony and the memes of Michael Cohen.

1157
01:38:20,862 --> 01:38:24,345
[SPEAKER_00]: swearing under oath, who is a serial perjurer.

1158
01:38:24,945 --> 01:38:28,348
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, Michael Cohen, who may testify this week.

1159
01:38:29,549 --> 01:38:31,370
[SPEAKER_00]: And that should be under oath, though.

1160
01:38:32,150 --> 01:38:32,591
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

1161
01:38:32,691 --> 01:38:32,971
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

1162
01:38:33,992 --> 01:38:36,334
[SPEAKER_00]: And possibly DJT will testify.

1163
01:38:36,354 --> 01:38:40,136
[SPEAKER_00]: I haven't seen where he said no, he definitely won't.

1164
01:38:40,296 --> 01:38:41,898
[SPEAKER_00]: And his lawyers have asked

1165
01:38:42,834 --> 01:38:46,579
[SPEAKER_00]: and won some battles with the judge over what Trump can be asked about.

1166
01:38:46,639 --> 01:38:49,963
[SPEAKER_00]: Recently, they had a back and forth with the judge.

1167
01:38:50,744 --> 01:38:59,075
[SPEAKER_00]: They wanted to stop the prosecution from being able to ask Trump about him being held in contempt of this court.

1168
01:39:00,435 --> 01:39:01,556
[SPEAKER_00]: And they said, look, it's prejudicial.

1169
01:39:01,616 --> 01:39:08,279
[SPEAKER_00]: You're going to have Trump up there on the stand and the prosecution is going to get to ask him about being held in contempt in this court by this judge.

1170
01:39:09,079 --> 01:39:10,420
[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be prejudicial to him.

1171
01:39:10,580 --> 01:39:11,220
[SPEAKER_00]: The judge agreed.

1172
01:39:11,861 --> 01:39:17,263
[SPEAKER_00]: The judge agreed to the prosecution can't bring up him violating and being in contempt of the of the court.

1173
01:39:17,883 --> 01:39:24,647
[SPEAKER_00]: But so anyway, them asking about that just tells you there it's a possibility that Trump is going to testify.

1174
01:39:26,018 --> 01:39:29,721
[SPEAKER_00]: I personally I think you will because I think Trump isn't gonna miss an opportunity.

1175
01:39:30,161 --> 01:39:31,102
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a stage.

1176
01:39:31,442 --> 01:39:53,336
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a have the stage Yeah, um, yeah, I see I see Claire cat in the chat saying you just cannot make this shit up Unless you're writing it and then you very much can make this shit up Probably are well, let's think about and this is something we talked about before the show BB and I we thought this would be good for you guys to think about

1177
01:39:54,065 --> 01:39:57,006
[SPEAKER_00]: how you're going to react when Trump is put in jail, because.

1178
01:39:58,786 --> 01:40:02,787
[SPEAKER_00]: Sure seems like Trump is trying to get put in jail by this judge.

1179
01:40:03,927 --> 01:40:05,927
[SPEAKER_00]: Mm hmm.

1180
01:40:05,987 --> 01:40:10,628
[SPEAKER_00]: I caught I didn't catch much of the New Jersey rally, but I did catch a comment or two.

1181
01:40:10,648 --> 01:40:20,170
[SPEAKER_00]: I saw that he said some things about the prosecutors in this case, which possibly violates the the gag order again.

1182
01:40:20,916 --> 01:40:25,639
[SPEAKER_00]: He's already violated the gag order in this case 10 times, or he has 10 violations.

1183
01:40:27,280 --> 01:40:33,284
[SPEAKER_00]: And the judge said that he would consider putting Trump in jail if he continues to violate it.

1184
01:40:33,404 --> 01:40:40,328
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, Trump had that rally this weekend, and I'm not so sure he didn't violate the gag order again.

1185
01:40:40,469 --> 01:40:45,492
[SPEAKER_00]: Only in front of a few million people watching online and a few hundred thousand in person.

1186
01:40:46,392 --> 01:40:50,095
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm just telling you guys, I would not be surprised at all.

1187
01:40:50,928 --> 01:40:54,864
[SPEAKER_00]: if Judge Merchant puts Trump in jail for a day or two this week.

1188
01:40:55,796 --> 01:41:01,300
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, and Trump's rallies are timed in such a way to where you, I mean, you can look at it in so many different ways.

1189
01:41:01,880 --> 01:41:07,884
[SPEAKER_00]: We talk about a signal, you know, signal setting and everything, message sending to different audiences.

1190
01:41:08,385 --> 01:41:09,966
[SPEAKER_00]: We've all seen the pictures.

1191
01:41:09,986 --> 01:41:12,487
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, some of you might've been there at the rally.

1192
01:41:12,507 --> 01:41:22,634
[SPEAKER_00]: We've all seen, obviously, the pictures going extremely viral about it, besides even getting into Trump's actual statements, which for us is a lot of reruns, of course, for this audience.

1193
01:41:23,535 --> 01:41:24,435
[SPEAKER_00]: Those images are the,

1194
01:41:25,456 --> 01:41:29,059
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the memetic power that came out of that New Jersey rally, twofold.

1195
01:41:29,819 --> 01:41:49,573
[SPEAKER_00]: The sheer humanity on display, the literal physical representation of the mandate to lead by a man who is on trial in New York, which is hilarious, and in New Jersey.

1196
01:41:50,458 --> 01:41:50,698
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

1197
01:41:51,319 --> 01:41:52,980
[SPEAKER_00]: Blue, blue, blue, New York.

1198
01:41:53,160 --> 01:41:55,201
[SPEAKER_00]: It's it's the metro of New York.

1199
01:41:56,802 --> 01:41:59,304
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's where he's drawing that kind of a crowd.

1200
01:42:00,064 --> 01:42:01,305
[SPEAKER_00]: So it feels like.

1201
01:42:02,986 --> 01:42:12,112
[SPEAKER_00]: You could play with that as a warning, not a not a threat, but as a threat of mandate to the establishment of saying you're going to put this guy in jail.

1202
01:42:14,173 --> 01:42:15,214
[SPEAKER_00]: In this district.

1203
01:42:16,634 --> 01:42:18,816
[SPEAKER_00]: With this much support.

1204
01:42:20,461 --> 01:42:38,938
[SPEAKER_00]: While the other, unfortunately, viral story in the New York area this weekend was a woman being raped in public on a New York street because of the lawlessness of what that city has devolved into, right?

1205
01:42:39,478 --> 01:42:40,780
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that that's a big thing.

1206
01:42:41,957 --> 01:42:58,008
[SPEAKER_00]: So you've got you've got Bragg dragging Donald Trump through a character assassination trial while he's drawing 100,000 people literally across the river, literally across the river from where he is under trial.

1207
01:42:59,696 --> 01:43:22,456
[SPEAKER_00]: In the meantime, the people who live in that environment and other metros across the United States are seeing come across their news feeds or social media feeds or gossip that women are being raped in the streets in this district because of the absolute lawlessness that the Biden America and even on a more micro, the Alvin Bragg, New York.

1208
01:43:23,343 --> 01:43:26,966
[SPEAKER_00]: Is the whole goal New York has devolved into right?

1209
01:43:27,006 --> 01:43:31,669
[SPEAKER_00]: Speaking of devolution, so that's one side of it.

1210
01:43:32,130 --> 01:43:32,930
[SPEAKER_00]: The other side of it.

1211
01:43:32,970 --> 01:43:39,515
[SPEAKER_00]: If you want to look at Patriot control and, you know, thinking these things are going to have a positive outcome, which I definitely do.

1212
01:43:40,316 --> 01:43:41,437
[SPEAKER_00]: I look at that as saying.

1213
01:43:42,776 --> 01:43:51,983
[SPEAKER_00]: The Trump rally, it was sort of, I think a lot of us have noticed this pattern in the info war in recent years where we kind of get a big groundswell.

1214
01:43:52,043 --> 01:43:54,725
[SPEAKER_00]: We call them wins, but a lot of times they're just kind of narrative wins.

1215
01:43:55,045 --> 01:43:59,228
[SPEAKER_00]: This weekend feels good when you see that much humanity turned out for Donald Trump, for MAGA.

1216
01:43:59,248 --> 01:44:00,429
[SPEAKER_00]: You're like, yeah, damn straight.

1217
01:44:00,749 --> 01:44:01,510
[SPEAKER_00]: That's our guy.

1218
01:44:01,790 --> 01:44:02,831
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a blue state.

1219
01:44:03,111 --> 01:44:06,373
[SPEAKER_00]: We got the same thing in 2020 in New Jersey as well.

1220
01:44:06,714 --> 01:44:08,475
[SPEAKER_00]: All that humanity turned out to support him.

1221
01:44:09,861 --> 01:44:14,064
[SPEAKER_00]: Those big swells, those crests tend to be followed by troughs.

1222
01:44:14,605 --> 01:44:19,428
[SPEAKER_00]: They tend to be followed by something hits MAGA in the mouth on a narrative level.

1223
01:44:20,209 --> 01:44:30,037
[SPEAKER_00]: So if you're looking at it based on story structure, you've got this weekend being characterized by look how popular Donald Trump is in this area.

1224
01:44:30,757 --> 01:44:39,180
[SPEAKER_00]: and how crime-ridden this area is, wouldn't that be really good seeding from a narrative perspective into, and look at how much they fear him.

1225
01:44:39,660 --> 01:44:54,865
[SPEAKER_00]: They're gonna put this guy in jail, but the guy who raped a woman on camera could be let out on bail based on HOCL's current, based on that legal system's current criteria.

1226
01:44:56,288 --> 01:44:56,528
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

1227
01:44:56,548 --> 01:44:57,909
[SPEAKER_00]: And people do think of these things.

1228
01:44:57,969 --> 01:45:00,030
[SPEAKER_00]: They think of that, just that juxtaposition.

1229
01:45:00,150 --> 01:45:01,851
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think that's an accidental juxtaposition.

1230
01:45:02,891 --> 01:45:03,071
[SPEAKER_00]: No.

1231
01:45:03,112 --> 01:45:12,576
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's probably a calculus on Trump's part that he's like, I got to get things up to a certain pitch and then I'm going to, and I'm going to keep baiting this punishment.

1232
01:45:12,957 --> 01:45:16,799
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I'm going to keep baiting this negative thing to happen to me.

1233
01:45:17,399 --> 01:45:20,300
[SPEAKER_00]: And I mean, he's going to time it to happen like right now.

1234
01:45:21,321 --> 01:45:21,421
[SPEAKER_00]: Um,

1235
01:45:23,240 --> 01:45:26,422
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think we should just all prepare ourselves for it if you haven't already.

1236
01:45:26,802 --> 01:45:27,703
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's going to be fun.

1237
01:45:28,163 --> 01:45:29,283
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not upset about it at all.

1238
01:45:29,304 --> 01:45:30,504
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it'll be totally fun.

1239
01:45:30,564 --> 01:45:34,907
[SPEAKER_00]: But you know, there's going to be a lot of people who are upset about it, and the media is going to try to make you upset about it.

1240
01:45:35,806 --> 01:45:39,449
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, but you're looking for the most memetic image you could possibly have.

1241
01:45:39,950 --> 01:45:40,050
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

1242
01:45:40,070 --> 01:45:42,532
[SPEAKER_00]: Trump orange man in an orange jumpsuit.

1243
01:45:43,253 --> 01:45:43,373
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

1244
01:45:43,413 --> 01:45:44,253
[SPEAKER_00]: My goodness.

1245
01:45:44,393 --> 01:45:45,034
[SPEAKER_00]: The memes.

1246
01:45:45,615 --> 01:45:47,236
[SPEAKER_00]: And this could be the power of a meme.

1247
01:45:47,516 --> 01:45:48,057
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

1248
01:45:48,317 --> 01:45:52,480
[SPEAKER_00]: And it honestly, it really is nothing to worry about because one is going to be protected.

1249
01:45:52,500 --> 01:45:54,502
[SPEAKER_00]: He's going to be in the holding cell in the courthouse, most likely.

1250
01:45:54,882 --> 01:45:57,945
[SPEAKER_00]: But the other thing is he's going to have Secret Service with him.

1251
01:45:58,686 --> 01:45:58,826
[SPEAKER_00]: Um.

1252
01:46:00,027 --> 01:46:00,167
[SPEAKER_00]: But.

1253
01:46:01,087 --> 01:46:09,873
[SPEAKER_00]: Perhaps more importantly, it's, or more concerningly, or what's on people's minds is that him being in jail over contempt doesn't stop him from running for president or being president.

1254
01:46:09,973 --> 01:46:14,116
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's like, there's no long-term harm here from him doing that.

1255
01:46:14,476 --> 01:46:23,242
[SPEAKER_00]: And it'll probably be something that we all look back on and be like, remember when Trump was in jail for a couple of days and the media tried to celebrate it and we were all laughing because we thought it was cool too.

1256
01:46:24,327 --> 01:46:27,351
[SPEAKER_00]: And they, you know, they're celebrating because they think they finally got the orange man.

1257
01:46:27,391 --> 01:46:36,141
[SPEAKER_00]: And we're over here being like, you guys just did the most Darth Vader, Obi-Wan thing you possibly could have done in the history of Darth Vader, Obi-Wan moments.

1258
01:46:36,301 --> 01:46:38,603
[SPEAKER_00]: This is up there with the actual movie.

1259
01:46:39,324 --> 01:46:42,827
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you think he doesn't have the support of marginalized?

1260
01:46:42,847 --> 01:46:43,628
[SPEAKER_00]: That's how they brand them, right?

1261
01:46:43,648 --> 01:46:46,410
[SPEAKER_00]: We're not allowed to say black community, so we're going to say marginalized.

1262
01:46:46,810 --> 01:46:48,151
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the official branding.

1263
01:46:48,592 --> 01:46:54,116
[SPEAKER_00]: So you think marginalized communities are turning in favor of Donald Trump right now?

1264
01:46:54,917 --> 01:46:56,938
[SPEAKER_00]: Imagine what happens.

1265
01:46:56,978 --> 01:46:59,540
[SPEAKER_00]: You thought a mugshot gave him mandate.

1266
01:47:00,241 --> 01:47:04,905
[SPEAKER_00]: Imagine an arraignment in an orange jumpsuit in handcuffs.

1267
01:47:06,892 --> 01:47:25,798
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean that's a different level of not only memetic power but fury from an American populace and one that's... I had written, you know I do the master series on my sub stack about just his narrative warfare and last week I put out a piece called the Bicameral Gladiator.

1268
01:47:26,338 --> 01:47:34,061
[SPEAKER_00]: But the concept was essentially, how do you define Trump's fighting style right now in the current persuasion of the War of Stories?

1269
01:47:34,442 --> 01:47:36,022
[SPEAKER_00]: And I had used two words.

1270
01:47:36,082 --> 01:47:36,743
[SPEAKER_00]: I couldn't decide.

1271
01:47:36,783 --> 01:47:45,827
[SPEAKER_00]: The reason that article came out of me is because I couldn't decide whether to frame him as a champion, as in a gladiator champion, or a martyr, which is a very different connotation.

1272
01:47:46,527 --> 01:47:48,548
[SPEAKER_00]: And I realized that he's both at the same time.

1273
01:47:49,724 --> 01:47:50,885
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a martyr champion.

1274
01:47:51,365 --> 01:47:52,887
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a gladiator and a martyr.

1275
01:47:53,127 --> 01:47:54,588
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a fighter and a victim.

1276
01:47:55,509 --> 01:47:57,891
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that that's fully intentional.

1277
01:47:58,291 --> 01:48:07,959
[SPEAKER_00]: He is going to be seen as fighting for the American people who are being all marginalized by the regime that is currently in power.

1278
01:48:09,361 --> 01:48:15,943
[SPEAKER_00]: while he's also going to be seen as a martyr by continuously being attacked by that system.

1279
01:48:16,723 --> 01:48:29,926
[SPEAKER_00]: It goes back to some of the oldest memes in this movement that he's boosted many times himself that carry such a strong undercurrent of truth to them, which is that they're not after me, they're after you, I'm just in the way.

1280
01:48:30,746 --> 01:48:33,189
[SPEAKER_00]: And now the leakage is getting through.

1281
01:48:33,509 --> 01:48:39,036
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, it used to be that in 2016, they're just attacking Trump, but none of that's really getting through to the normies.

1282
01:48:39,136 --> 01:48:40,217
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not really affecting them.

1283
01:48:40,618 --> 01:48:46,925
[SPEAKER_00]: But now they're seeing as Trump is attacked and attacked and attacked and dragged further and further into this black hole of lawfare.

1284
01:48:47,205 --> 01:48:51,468
[SPEAKER_00]: that the system has arrayed against him, it seems like more shrapnel is hitting them.

1285
01:48:51,488 --> 01:48:54,210
[SPEAKER_00]: It seems that the economy gets worse and worse and worse.

1286
01:48:54,510 --> 01:49:01,114
[SPEAKER_00]: The streets get more and more unsafe, and the culture gets more and more divided the more they go after him.

1287
01:49:01,434 --> 01:49:02,995
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think it's one and the same.

1288
01:49:03,055 --> 01:49:06,878
[SPEAKER_00]: He is both a champion and a martyr at the same time.

1289
01:49:07,198 --> 01:49:14,603
[SPEAKER_00]: If they put handcuffs on him, if they put him in an orange jumpsuit, they're solidifying his coming reign.

1290
01:49:15,612 --> 01:49:36,227
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think you're absolutely right, and I. In trying to imagine it like just picturing this moment with him in jail and how he's going to utilize it, I what comes to my mind, whether rightly or not, is when he had when he had a covid.

1291
01:49:37,011 --> 01:49:38,752
[SPEAKER_00]: And he was at Walter Reed for a while.

1292
01:49:39,373 --> 01:49:42,015
[SPEAKER_00]: And we got those images of him like working at a desk.

1293
01:49:42,215 --> 01:49:44,957
[SPEAKER_00]: And he had his like collar undone a bit in a suit jacket off.

1294
01:49:45,057 --> 01:49:46,618
[SPEAKER_00]: And he was like working while he was sick.

1295
01:49:46,698 --> 01:49:46,998
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

1296
01:49:47,919 --> 01:49:49,280
[SPEAKER_00]: And then he goes back to the White House.

1297
01:49:49,320 --> 01:49:49,861
[SPEAKER_00]: And what's he do?

1298
01:49:49,901 --> 01:49:53,703
[SPEAKER_00]: He has that moment where he takes off his mask and the media got all mad at him for that.

1299
01:49:54,424 --> 01:49:57,246
[SPEAKER_00]: And he has this moment like I've overcome the virus or whatever.

1300
01:49:57,306 --> 01:49:57,746
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm back.

1301
01:49:58,647 --> 01:50:05,252
[SPEAKER_00]: I kind of wonder if it's going to be like that, where like we get these mimetic moments with Trump, like in the jailhouse, but he's working.

1302
01:50:06,033 --> 01:50:10,174
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he's like in the cell, but he's meeting with campaign advisors and stuff.

1303
01:50:10,194 --> 01:50:14,716
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, there's like people outside the cell talking to him and it's like they're like taking notes from what he said.

1304
01:50:14,736 --> 01:50:15,956
[SPEAKER_00]: I bet we get images.

1305
01:50:15,976 --> 01:50:17,877
[SPEAKER_00]: Family members, family members.

1306
01:50:18,557 --> 01:50:22,078
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's going to make him look like it's going to it'll be juxtaposed.

1307
01:50:22,138 --> 01:50:23,619
[SPEAKER_00]: Martyr champion, martyr champion.

1308
01:50:23,659 --> 01:50:23,839
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

1309
01:50:23,859 --> 01:50:26,380
[SPEAKER_00]: You see him with you see him with Melania Martyr.

1310
01:50:26,720 --> 01:50:28,900
[SPEAKER_00]: You see him with a campaign advisor champion.

1311
01:50:28,940 --> 01:50:29,701
[SPEAKER_00]: He's still fighting.

1312
01:50:29,961 --> 01:50:30,881
[SPEAKER_00]: He's in there and he's still fighting.

1313
01:50:31,221 --> 01:50:33,462
[SPEAKER_00]: When you're talking about branding, branding goes both ways.

1314
01:50:33,482 --> 01:50:35,803
[SPEAKER_00]: The enemy has been branding us and branding him for a long time.

1315
01:50:36,104 --> 01:50:38,765
[SPEAKER_00]: He's branding himself and that's not going to help them.

1316
01:50:39,605 --> 01:50:39,846
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

1317
01:50:39,946 --> 01:50:43,768
[SPEAKER_00]: And then when he gets out of jail, he gets out of jail.

1318
01:50:45,008 --> 01:50:50,971
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, there's going to be some photos like he's going to set up where it's like him in the jumpsuit or him.

1319
01:50:51,031 --> 01:50:53,893
[SPEAKER_00]: Like he's going to be in his, put his other clothes on.

1320
01:50:54,437 --> 01:50:55,979
[SPEAKER_00]: I bet he, I don't think he's going to get perfect.

1321
01:50:56,359 --> 01:50:58,501
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's going to be like, it's a little bit messed up.

1322
01:50:58,541 --> 01:51:00,503
[SPEAKER_00]: Like he's had a hard night, right?

1323
01:51:01,444 --> 01:51:02,125
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I don't know.

1324
01:51:02,245 --> 01:51:07,511
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I think it's going to be kind of like, uh, just unbuttoned shirt and no tie.

1325
01:51:07,551 --> 01:51:13,477
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe the tie draped around, like when he got off the helicopter and he would look really tired back in like October, September of 2020.

1326
01:51:13,517 --> 01:51:13,557
[SPEAKER_00]: Um,

1327
01:51:16,618 --> 01:51:31,146
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I just think that he's gonna use this memetic moment, it's gonna be memetic in a lot of ways, but he's gonna use it to convey that he's this person who's always working and the deep state put him in jail and tried to take him off the game board, but they can't.

1328
01:51:32,067 --> 01:51:33,808
[SPEAKER_00]: And... I've got an idea, Kyle.

1329
01:51:33,828 --> 01:51:34,168
[SPEAKER_00]: It'll be good.

1330
01:51:34,188 --> 01:51:35,529
[SPEAKER_00]: I think I know where you're going with this.

1331
01:51:37,650 --> 01:51:41,232
[SPEAKER_00]: Might we finally get... Oops, hold on.

1332
01:51:43,193 --> 01:51:44,454
[SPEAKER_00]: This is a pixelated image.

1333
01:51:45,034 --> 01:51:45,795
[SPEAKER_00]: I was under pressure.

1334
01:51:47,782 --> 01:51:50,766
[SPEAKER_00]: when we finally get bearded.

1335
01:51:55,569 --> 01:51:57,670
[SPEAKER_00]: He's in there, he's not allowed to shave.

1336
01:51:57,690 --> 01:52:00,511
[SPEAKER_00]: That would be so awesome.

1337
01:52:01,011 --> 01:52:02,212
[SPEAKER_00]: The power level.

1338
01:52:03,392 --> 01:52:04,453
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's the look.

1339
01:52:05,113 --> 01:52:06,334
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the look we want.

1340
01:52:06,374 --> 01:52:06,714
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what?

1341
01:52:06,754 --> 01:52:08,014
[SPEAKER_00]: We want it to be pixelated.

1342
01:52:08,755 --> 01:52:10,175
[SPEAKER_00]: This was intentional after all.

1343
01:52:10,596 --> 01:52:14,657
[SPEAKER_00]: We want this to be him getting into the Escalade from a distance.

1344
01:52:15,398 --> 01:52:19,920
[SPEAKER_00]: And he catches sight of one of those media salamanders on the side of the yard.

1345
01:52:19,940 --> 01:52:22,861
[SPEAKER_00]: And he lets him know, I'm not shaving it.

1346
01:52:24,437 --> 01:52:25,878
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going on the campaign trail.

1347
01:52:26,919 --> 01:52:27,619
[SPEAKER_00]: Just like this.

1348
01:52:28,820 --> 01:52:29,741
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's what we're getting.

1349
01:52:30,962 --> 01:52:31,642
[SPEAKER_00]: I am manifest.

1350
01:52:31,702 --> 01:52:32,943
[SPEAKER_00]: I would love to existence.

1351
01:52:33,544 --> 01:52:34,164
[SPEAKER_00]: I would love it.

1352
01:52:34,485 --> 01:52:35,465
[SPEAKER_00]: They totally should do this.

1353
01:52:35,505 --> 01:52:39,949
[SPEAKER_00]: He doesn't shave for like one day and then he decides that's I can't ever shave again.

1354
01:52:39,969 --> 01:52:42,370
[SPEAKER_00]: He gets a neck tattoo.

1355
01:52:42,651 --> 01:52:45,813
[SPEAKER_00]: He goes out and get neck tattoos and tattoos here.

1356
01:52:45,833 --> 01:52:46,694
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like DJ.

1357
01:52:46,714 --> 01:52:47,514
[SPEAKER_00]: This is for Joe B.

1358
01:52:54,639 --> 01:52:55,680
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the beard's enough.

1359
01:52:56,040 --> 01:52:57,461
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think we need the tattoos.

1360
01:52:57,501 --> 01:53:00,344
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the beard, it says enough.

1361
01:53:00,764 --> 01:53:03,046
[SPEAKER_00]: He's like, I've been waiting for this moment.

1362
01:53:04,026 --> 01:53:07,129
[SPEAKER_00]: Now you've given me the peace and quiet to finally grow this beard.

1363
01:53:08,826 --> 01:53:10,387
[SPEAKER_00]: I'd be so killing.

1364
01:53:10,407 --> 01:53:11,427
[SPEAKER_00]: They're just going to make it more.

1365
01:53:11,447 --> 01:53:12,227
[SPEAKER_00]: I want it now.

1366
01:53:12,767 --> 01:53:13,908
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, we're all going to be.

1367
01:53:13,988 --> 01:53:23,411
[SPEAKER_00]: We've talked about this on many shows, but where the media is so angry because every time they think they've got the orange man cornered, Anons are celebrating a lot before they start celebrating.

1368
01:53:24,071 --> 01:53:27,852
[SPEAKER_00]: And they're like, wait a second, this is not how it's supposed to go.

1369
01:53:28,092 --> 01:53:29,973
[SPEAKER_00]: But, you know, that's the funny way of looking at it.

1370
01:53:29,993 --> 01:53:33,794
[SPEAKER_00]: And this community is kind of celebrating when these things happen because they're making it more and more powerful.

1371
01:53:34,334 --> 01:53:35,115
[SPEAKER_00]: But Norm, the

1372
01:53:36,235 --> 01:53:46,383
[SPEAKER_00]: The normies that are reachable by Donald Trump that have not been reached yet, they're not going to be laughing because they're taking all of this at face value.

1373
01:53:46,703 --> 01:53:47,244
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they do.

1374
01:53:47,264 --> 01:53:50,146
[SPEAKER_00]: They're going to be they're going to be angry and they're going to be scared.

1375
01:53:51,027 --> 01:53:54,449
[SPEAKER_00]: Even I really think that people are going to be surprised in this community.

1376
01:53:55,470 --> 01:54:01,712
[SPEAKER_00]: Not that lefties are going to outright be in support of Donald Trump, like never Trumpers and that kind of thing.

1377
01:54:02,132 --> 01:54:12,056
[SPEAKER_00]: But as things get worse here, gas prices, international tensions, Biden administration, just gaffe after gaffe after gaffe, the economy is the biggest thing, right?

1378
01:54:12,916 --> 01:54:23,243
[SPEAKER_00]: they're going to be pissed off that they're spending this kind of energy and devoting this kind of coverage to the witch hunt of Donald Trump.

1379
01:54:23,863 --> 01:54:26,185
[SPEAKER_00]: So, which is a huge win for us.

1380
01:54:26,585 --> 01:54:31,769
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that besides that, there is a massive portion of the marginalized

1381
01:54:32,469 --> 01:54:40,471
[SPEAKER_00]: United States and maybe reachable centrists and logical lefties, there's a few of those around, that are going to look at this and go like, you know what?

1382
01:54:41,531 --> 01:54:58,594
[SPEAKER_00]: Michael Moore had the most famous accidental Trump campaign in 2016, where he said, they're going to go in, middle America is going to go into that voting booth, they're going to put a big red X next to the name of Donald John Trump, because it's going to be the biggest collective fuck you that they have ever sent to the establishment.

1383
01:54:59,054 --> 01:55:02,536
[SPEAKER_00]: And you know how many people are feeling good about the establishment right now?

1384
01:55:03,476 --> 01:55:04,017
[SPEAKER_00]: Not many.

1385
01:55:04,997 --> 01:55:20,625
[SPEAKER_00]: So who... If the establishment can agree on one thing, all of the system of systems, every little piece of power projection, every clown, every narrative, every agency, every judge, seemingly, who is the threat to the establishment?

1386
01:55:21,065 --> 01:55:21,625
[SPEAKER_00]: Donald Trump.

1387
01:55:21,985 --> 01:55:26,928
[SPEAKER_00]: So all you need to know going into this election cycle and going into this trial and everything is

1388
01:55:28,243 --> 01:55:29,464
[SPEAKER_00]: Who is the establishment?

1389
01:55:30,125 --> 01:55:32,326
[SPEAKER_00]: How does the American people feel about that establishment?

1390
01:55:33,107 --> 01:55:34,548
[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't think that the answer is very good.

1391
01:55:34,828 --> 01:55:39,232
[SPEAKER_00]: There was a subset of them that felt like they wanted the adults back in the room in 2020.

1392
01:55:40,513 --> 01:55:44,236
[SPEAKER_00]: And they got the adults back in the room, like the kiddie diddlin' adults.

1393
01:55:44,976 --> 01:55:45,897
[SPEAKER_00]: And this is what they got.

1394
01:55:49,620 --> 01:55:50,121
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, man.

1395
01:55:50,481 --> 01:55:51,902
[SPEAKER_00]: Bearded Trump.

1396
01:55:52,242 --> 01:55:53,603
[SPEAKER_00]: We just manifested it, guys.

1397
01:55:53,844 --> 01:55:56,706
[SPEAKER_00]: Patriots, you do one thing for us, just one thing.

1398
01:55:58,240 --> 01:55:58,921
[SPEAKER_00]: Do the beard thing.

1399
01:56:01,985 --> 01:56:02,365
[SPEAKER_00]: We need it.

1400
01:56:06,210 --> 01:56:06,790
[SPEAKER_00]: Be perfect.

1401
01:56:07,251 --> 01:56:10,775
[SPEAKER_00]: We need a. We need a bearded president.

1402
01:56:12,337 --> 01:56:16,322
[SPEAKER_00]: There's been some people commented that Melania doesn't like facial hair, but you know.

1403
01:56:18,806 --> 01:56:28,388
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe maybe it's just for a little while just for like you tell me he's going to roll out of the jailhouse like that and Milani is not going to be the first one waiting for him.

1404
01:56:32,229 --> 01:56:32,549
[SPEAKER_00]: Come on.

1405
01:56:34,850 --> 01:56:35,550
[SPEAKER_00]: That's good stuff.

1406
01:56:35,610 --> 01:56:36,370
[SPEAKER_00]: This now is the time.

1407
01:56:36,751 --> 01:56:37,751
[SPEAKER_00]: Now is the time for the beard.

1408
01:56:37,811 --> 01:56:39,351
[SPEAKER_00]: It's the time I understand you.

1409
01:56:39,391 --> 01:56:46,273
[SPEAKER_00]: I wanted it in the past, but now I get it now that it's all coming together like Aragorn in the Lord of the Rings.

1410
01:56:47,506 --> 01:56:52,708
[SPEAKER_00]: He had the stubble, you know, when he was Strider in Fellowship of the Ring, he had the stubble, the ladies like it.

1411
01:56:52,768 --> 01:56:54,829
[SPEAKER_00]: Looked like he hadn't shaved in a bit, he's in the wilderness.

1412
01:56:55,389 --> 01:57:01,991
[SPEAKER_00]: But he looks like occasionally goes to a moonlit glade after he's done slaying some orc and he takes the knife to his stubble.

1413
01:57:02,451 --> 01:57:03,572
[SPEAKER_00]: Kept it a little trim.

1414
01:57:04,252 --> 01:57:09,854
[SPEAKER_00]: It wasn't until he accepted the burden of leadership in The Return of the King

1415
01:57:10,774 --> 01:57:13,457
[SPEAKER_00]: That he grew a beard as he's being crowned.

1416
01:57:13,857 --> 01:57:15,579
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got that salt and pepper beard.

1417
01:57:15,999 --> 01:57:24,727
[SPEAKER_00]: It's more full and he's letting people know this is the beard that has grown directly out of my experiences in the War of the Ring.

1418
01:57:27,530 --> 01:57:28,711
[SPEAKER_00]: This is why it's time to beard.

1419
01:57:29,051 --> 01:57:29,952
[SPEAKER_00]: It's time it's time.

1420
01:57:31,434 --> 01:57:32,114
[SPEAKER_00]: Alright, uhm.

1421
01:57:33,155 --> 01:57:33,856
[SPEAKER_00]: That's all I got man.

1422
01:57:35,367 --> 01:57:39,268
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, we can go into ransom boost because we should have plenty there to discuss.

1423
01:57:39,328 --> 01:57:39,408
[SPEAKER_00]: OK.

1424
01:57:40,208 --> 01:57:40,508
[SPEAKER_00]: OK.

1425
01:57:40,548 --> 01:57:40,948
[SPEAKER_00]: Sounds good.

1426
01:57:42,509 --> 01:57:42,889
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.

1427
01:57:42,909 --> 01:57:44,769
[SPEAKER_00]: We got a couple more boosts from last week.

1428
01:57:44,789 --> 01:57:48,610
[SPEAKER_00]: The Twist sent over 17 bucks and said, is there a name for this very blatant common twist?

1429
01:57:48,650 --> 01:57:49,350
[SPEAKER_00]: I see it everywhere.

1430
01:57:49,410 --> 01:57:50,030
[SPEAKER_00]: Three examples.

1431
01:57:50,251 --> 01:57:53,971
[SPEAKER_00]: One, Senator Cotton says students who committed crimes should be ineligible for loan bailout.

1432
01:57:54,612 --> 01:57:57,552
[SPEAKER_00]: Two, House sponsors a bill saying illegals should not have the right to vote.

1433
01:57:58,012 --> 01:58:00,673
[SPEAKER_00]: Three, should abortion be allowed until the third or sixth month?

1434
01:58:01,903 --> 01:58:04,985
[SPEAKER_00]: He says, number one, the real issue, why are students getting bailed out?

1435
01:58:05,065 --> 01:58:07,027
[SPEAKER_00]: Number two, the real issue, why are illegals here?

1436
01:58:07,167 --> 01:58:08,227
[SPEAKER_00]: Number three is obvious.

1437
01:58:08,608 --> 01:58:13,371
[SPEAKER_00]: These shifts get everyone debating the wrong issue while ignoring the real root issue.

1438
01:58:13,391 --> 01:58:14,112
[SPEAKER_00]: What are your thoughts?

1439
01:58:14,152 --> 01:58:15,092
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you and God bless.

1440
01:58:16,553 --> 01:58:20,376
[SPEAKER_00]: If you can get people asking the wrong questions, you don't have to worry about the answers.

1441
01:58:21,417 --> 01:58:22,077
[SPEAKER_00]: Very well said.

1442
01:58:22,577 --> 01:58:23,038
[SPEAKER_00]: You're right.

1443
01:58:23,678 --> 01:58:26,160
[SPEAKER_00]: Gets people focused on the wrong things and debating the wrong things.

1444
01:58:26,180 --> 01:58:30,403
[SPEAKER_00]: They don't ask the right questions and have the right conversations.

1445
01:58:31,820 --> 01:58:32,661
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

1446
01:58:33,321 --> 01:58:39,125
[SPEAKER_00]: I know that Patrick often talks about the false binary fallacy.

1447
01:58:39,365 --> 01:58:44,088
[SPEAKER_00]: And then Chris often talks about controlled opposition dynamic, which is a little different.

1448
01:58:44,128 --> 01:58:45,669
[SPEAKER_00]: That's more obviously relating to people.

1449
01:58:46,130 --> 01:58:55,376
[SPEAKER_00]: But false binary, that's definitely one where you've got, hey, do you want illegal immigrants to vote or to be given welfare?

1450
01:58:56,576 --> 01:58:57,917
[SPEAKER_00]: I just don't want to legal immigrants.

1451
01:58:59,118 --> 01:58:59,778
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, sorry, sir.

1452
01:59:00,138 --> 01:59:00,578
[SPEAKER_00]: And they do.

1453
01:59:00,679 --> 01:59:10,805
[SPEAKER_00]: The false binary thing is very much in the news right now with the border and the immigrants, but also with Israel, where it's like you can't either.

1454
01:59:10,825 --> 01:59:18,689
[SPEAKER_00]: You have to like be fully anti BB, anti Israel, pro Hamas, pro Iran or vice versa.

1455
01:59:19,230 --> 01:59:20,270
[SPEAKER_00]: There can be no nuance.

1456
01:59:20,811 --> 01:59:23,612
[SPEAKER_00]: There can't be any nuance to your position on the Israel.

1457
01:59:25,515 --> 01:59:40,761
[SPEAKER_00]: Hamas think or at least it seems like that way it's marketed that way it seems like you got to be full-on one or the other either full lefty pro Hamas and And there it's like there's I guess there's more than one position on it, but they're all extreme They're all in one direction.

1458
01:59:40,781 --> 01:59:51,245
[SPEAKER_00]: You can't just like have a position where it says Israel should defend itself terrorists should get fucked and if Israel wants to buy weapons, that's cool, but let's not give them things and

1459
01:59:52,250 --> 01:59:54,511
[SPEAKER_00]: like pretty simple position to have.

1460
01:59:55,771 --> 02:00:09,954
[SPEAKER_00]: And, but depending on how you express it, you'll get, people will assign you to one of the extreme groups because they're used to on this, an issue like this, people being in one of the extreme groups, everybody's in one of the extreme groups.

1461
02:00:10,595 --> 02:00:13,935
[SPEAKER_00]: And so they'll just take a couple of things you say, and then shove you in one of those extreme groups.

1462
02:00:15,036 --> 02:00:19,617
[SPEAKER_00]: And that happens with the border issue that happens with Israel, Iran, Hamas issue.

1463
02:00:21,668 --> 02:00:26,431
[SPEAKER_00]: I would say probably happens with abortion, too, because it's so polarizing any issue that can be polarized.

1464
02:00:26,451 --> 02:00:27,452
[SPEAKER_00]: And that seems to be the thing.

1465
02:00:27,492 --> 02:00:33,656
[SPEAKER_00]: If you can set up that false binary and get people talking about it or if you can set up these false.

1466
02:00:35,437 --> 02:00:43,842
[SPEAKER_00]: Cohesive groups like everybody who has these opinions are in this corral and everybody with those opinions are in this corral anyway.

1467
02:00:44,815 --> 02:00:44,976
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep.

1468
02:00:46,338 --> 02:00:55,639
[SPEAKER_00]: The only true binary, Mrs. Bright popped into the chat, wants this whole show to say that Goku is better than Vegeta because somebody commented on my Vegeta right there.

1469
02:00:56,463 --> 02:00:57,784
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's a binary.

1470
02:00:58,465 --> 02:01:00,047
[SPEAKER_00]: Vegeta is the best.

1471
02:01:00,948 --> 02:01:01,688
[SPEAKER_00]: Goku's a clown.

1472
02:01:02,149 --> 02:01:04,731
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's that.

1473
02:01:05,392 --> 02:01:07,254
[SPEAKER_00]: John Benedetti sent $10 over.

1474
02:01:07,314 --> 02:01:08,855
[SPEAKER_00]: I really enjoyed meeting you both in Irvine.

1475
02:01:08,875 --> 02:01:20,426
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you think the news of Russia banning Rumble earlier this week could be a front run move to counter the potential ban of Rumble under the TikTok bill by using Biden's executive order from February to update the countries of concern list to include Russia?

1476
02:01:21,027 --> 02:01:30,590
[SPEAKER_00]: Rumble's such a vital part of the awakening in the U.S., Russia could temporarily ban Rumble in order to create the separation between Rumble and Russia that any update to countries of concern list wouldn't affect Rumble.

1477
02:01:31,370 --> 02:01:33,211
[SPEAKER_00]: Or I'm just the Sonny Charlie conspiracy meme.

1478
02:01:34,111 --> 02:01:34,831
[SPEAKER_00]: That's interesting.

1479
02:01:35,932 --> 02:01:45,434
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it might be too many pieces of yarn, but I'm not gonna belittle somebody for going full corkboard there.

1480
02:01:45,854 --> 02:01:46,215
[SPEAKER_00]: I like it.

1481
02:01:46,795 --> 02:01:47,915
[SPEAKER_00]: Gotta think asymmetrically.

1482
02:01:48,195 --> 02:01:50,596
[SPEAKER_00]: I did think the Rumble ban was strange for the Russia

1483
02:01:52,165 --> 02:01:53,125
[SPEAKER_00]: the Russia rumble news.

1484
02:01:55,746 --> 02:02:00,748
[SPEAKER_00]: I, I completely missed this story, and now I'm looking it up and seeing that, yeah, it was basically.

1485
02:02:01,909 --> 02:02:03,089
[SPEAKER_00]: This happened a few days ago.

1486
02:02:06,830 --> 02:02:19,555
[SPEAKER_00]: I wonder what the what I see that Chris Pavlosky said that Russia made a request that they they rumbled censor some things and rumbled wouldn't do it, so they banned it.

1487
02:02:20,498 --> 02:02:24,641
[SPEAKER_00]: I wonder what it was that Russia wanted rumble to censor, right?

1488
02:02:27,302 --> 02:02:30,364
[SPEAKER_00]: Received multiple requests from Russian government to censor various channels.

1489
02:02:32,605 --> 02:02:40,610
[SPEAKER_00]: One of the accounts was with respect to marijuana, another seemed to be some kind of conspiracy channel, and the other channel seemed to be an Arabic channel that was political.

1490
02:02:42,491 --> 02:02:43,472
[SPEAKER_00]: But I don't know.

1491
02:02:44,052 --> 02:02:45,633
[SPEAKER_00]: It's interesting, interesting.

1492
02:02:45,673 --> 02:02:48,135
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'd like to know specifically what it was that.

1493
02:02:50,560 --> 02:02:50,880
[SPEAKER_00]: They.

1494
02:02:52,441 --> 02:02:56,183
[SPEAKER_00]: They didn't want on there, but I mean, that kind of speaks to.

1495
02:02:59,365 --> 02:03:00,585
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, it's two rumbles credit.

1496
02:03:01,626 --> 02:03:03,126
[SPEAKER_00]: They rumble wouldn't fold on that.

1497
02:03:03,947 --> 02:03:13,332
[SPEAKER_00]: It also helps rumbles credibility as far as like, you know, like the left attacking rumble saying that rumble is pro Russia or Russia or rumble is.

1498
02:03:14,632 --> 02:03:18,794
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, full of all these right wing crazy things and whatnot when right?

1499
02:03:20,748 --> 02:03:24,069
[SPEAKER_00]: Rumble got banned by Russia, but that's pretty interesting.

1500
02:03:24,709 --> 02:03:27,450
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's actually good branding.

1501
02:03:27,470 --> 02:03:28,050
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a good point.

1502
02:03:28,610 --> 02:03:30,150
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it does help Rumble's branding.

1503
02:03:31,210 --> 02:03:32,331
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, maybe Russia's helping them.

1504
02:03:32,551 --> 02:03:35,291
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I said, maybe full conspiracy world.

1505
02:03:36,692 --> 02:03:36,992
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't know.

1506
02:03:37,012 --> 02:03:37,252
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll see.

1507
02:03:37,332 --> 02:03:41,573
[SPEAKER_00]: Or maybe Russia just has some really authoritarian laws on the books or whatever.

1508
02:03:42,333 --> 02:03:44,073
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's not like they have the First Amendment over there.

1509
02:03:44,413 --> 02:03:47,454
[SPEAKER_00]: So it could be that there are things that

1510
02:03:48,646 --> 02:03:52,388
[SPEAKER_00]: This one allowed, but they allow other things over there in Russia like YouTube and some other.

1511
02:03:53,869 --> 02:03:58,972
[SPEAKER_00]: Stuff that's that I would that I think is a. Yeah, I know interesting.

1512
02:04:01,393 --> 02:04:02,514
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure we'll get more on it.

1513
02:04:03,594 --> 02:04:04,675
[SPEAKER_00]: We got some rants here.

1514
02:04:04,735 --> 02:04:07,536
[SPEAKER_00]: Tom terrific 54 cent 25 over things are heating up.

1515
02:04:07,596 --> 02:04:08,857
[SPEAKER_00]: Here is something for the cause.

1516
02:04:09,037 --> 02:04:10,218
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you, thank you.

1517
02:04:11,311 --> 02:04:12,472
[SPEAKER_00]: Always one of the first in there.

1518
02:04:12,652 --> 02:04:14,433
[SPEAKER_00]: Fixed bayonet, sent 30 bucks.

1519
02:04:14,833 --> 02:04:16,734
[SPEAKER_00]: Kyle, you asked for it, so here it is.

1520
02:04:18,114 --> 02:04:18,755
[SPEAKER_00]: What is this?

1521
02:04:20,696 --> 02:04:21,676
[SPEAKER_00]: Crash.net.

1522
02:04:21,696 --> 02:04:24,577
[SPEAKER_00]: I can share my screen here.

1523
02:04:25,438 --> 02:04:26,378
[SPEAKER_00]: I know Crash.net.

1524
02:04:29,600 --> 02:04:30,000
[SPEAKER_00]: U.S.

1525
02:04:30,160 --> 02:04:34,302
[SPEAKER_00]: House Judiciary Chief launches probe into F1's anti-money rejection.

1526
02:04:35,042 --> 02:04:36,083
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I saw this.

1527
02:04:36,323 --> 02:04:38,044
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm honestly not excited about it.

1528
02:04:38,084 --> 02:04:38,884
[SPEAKER_00]: I find it a little gross.

1529
02:04:41,273 --> 02:04:45,876
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like this is politicians getting involved in big money sports just so they can.

1530
02:04:47,758 --> 02:04:53,862
[SPEAKER_00]: Ingratiate themselves and get themselves involved in big money sports just because they're politicians and that they want to be involved in big money things.

1531
02:04:54,622 --> 02:04:55,103
[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't.

1532
02:04:57,324 --> 02:04:58,745
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not excited about this, honestly.

1533
02:05:00,766 --> 02:05:00,967
[SPEAKER_00]: Right?

1534
02:05:02,848 --> 02:05:05,430
[SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes they just do it to get themselves in the news.

1535
02:05:06,130 --> 02:05:07,411
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, I kind of.

1536
02:05:09,069 --> 02:05:11,632
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, well, I could be totally wrong, but.

1537
02:05:14,214 --> 02:05:19,619
[SPEAKER_00]: I saw Castle, it's my biggest fan in the chat earlier, said real men don't need to grow beards or have tattoos.

1538
02:05:19,999 --> 02:05:23,362
[SPEAKER_00]: That sounds kind of like a guy who can't grow a beard to me.

1539
02:05:24,303 --> 02:05:25,384
[SPEAKER_00]: Checked his profile picture.

1540
02:05:25,424 --> 02:05:27,486
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't know if it's him, but no beard in sight.

1541
02:05:28,667 --> 02:05:35,113
[SPEAKER_00]: So just saying castles tend to follow me from show to show talking about me incessantly.

1542
02:05:37,729 --> 02:05:40,550
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

1543
02:05:40,590 --> 02:05:41,290
[SPEAKER_00]: Crane up 59, 17 bucks.

1544
02:05:41,350 --> 02:05:46,412
[SPEAKER_00]: Kyle, you're not that cute to look at anyways, so we'll survive.

1545
02:05:48,172 --> 02:05:49,673
[SPEAKER_00]: JKDH after all.

1546
02:05:51,113 --> 02:05:51,913
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, dang.

1547
02:05:52,994 --> 02:05:53,474
[SPEAKER_00]: Man.

1548
02:05:53,494 --> 02:05:58,155
[SPEAKER_00]: I know, that's a... I think this was in reference to when you were pixelated.

1549
02:05:58,695 --> 02:05:59,595
[SPEAKER_00]: Pixelated version.

1550
02:06:00,496 --> 02:06:01,156
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's rough.

1551
02:06:02,156 --> 02:06:02,736
[SPEAKER_00]: Jeez, Crane.

1552
02:06:04,337 --> 02:06:04,997
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, Crane.

1553
02:06:05,697 --> 02:06:10,981
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't pretend you're friends with Kyle when you come up to him in Deadwood, unless you've got some nice whiskey.

1554
02:06:12,162 --> 02:06:12,803
[SPEAKER_00]: Then we're friends.

1555
02:06:14,564 --> 02:06:15,745
[SPEAKER_00]: Missy Brash, 10 bucks.

1556
02:06:15,865 --> 02:06:18,768
[SPEAKER_00]: Happy Mother's Day to all adoptive and biological mothers.

1557
02:06:19,128 --> 02:06:19,308
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

1558
02:06:19,368 --> 02:06:20,189
[SPEAKER_00]: Happy Mother's Day.

1559
02:06:20,409 --> 02:06:20,609
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

1560
02:06:20,649 --> 02:06:21,830
[SPEAKER_00]: Happy Mother's Day to everyone.

1561
02:06:23,071 --> 02:06:24,392
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, who are mothers anyway.

1562
02:06:24,753 --> 02:06:24,953
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

1563
02:06:25,473 --> 02:06:25,673
[SPEAKER_00]: True.

1564
02:06:25,773 --> 02:06:26,254
[SPEAKER_00]: Real mothers.

1565
02:06:26,334 --> 02:06:27,475
[SPEAKER_00]: Or birthing peoples.

1566
02:06:28,035 --> 02:06:28,776
[SPEAKER_00]: Birthing people.

1567
02:06:30,213 --> 02:06:33,575
[SPEAKER_00]: Dumb by the way, a lot of that language has been repealed in the UK.

1568
02:06:33,675 --> 02:06:35,976
[SPEAKER_00]: So people the woke backlash is spreading.

1569
02:06:36,676 --> 02:06:50,261
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep It's been made illegal Ironically earth guard living 20 bucks just human and burning bright perhaps this evening is calling for us to all envision sitting around a campfire Sharing stories and simply hanging out and being okay with where we are all at right now.

1570
02:06:50,281 --> 02:06:52,482
[SPEAKER_00]: I Think that's a good sentiment.

1571
02:06:52,582 --> 02:06:58,625
[SPEAKER_00]: I actually got to get the fire pit going this year haven't yet It's been a little cool in the nights But I gotta get it going soon

1572
02:07:00,563 --> 02:07:03,446
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I got hot here for a while, but lately it's been really, really nice.

1573
02:07:04,687 --> 02:07:07,149
[SPEAKER_00]: I've really I've really been enjoying walking and being outside.

1574
02:07:07,469 --> 02:07:17,298
[SPEAKER_00]: Sad soccer is now over as of this weekend for both boys, and I'm sad about it, which is weird for me because I used to as a kid, I didn't like sports really.

1575
02:07:17,319 --> 02:07:19,360
[SPEAKER_00]: And I wasn't I didn't get it.

1576
02:07:19,380 --> 02:07:21,362
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't want to go to games and stuff.

1577
02:07:21,442 --> 02:07:26,467
[SPEAKER_00]: But now that I'm a parent and I have kids who play sports, I freaking love it.

1578
02:07:26,752 --> 02:07:29,713
[SPEAKER_00]: I freaking love going and cheering on my boys and watching them play.

1579
02:07:29,873 --> 02:07:31,233
[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't care if they win or not.

1580
02:07:31,734 --> 02:07:32,174
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I just.

1581
02:07:33,694 --> 02:07:37,555
[SPEAKER_00]: Now it's clicked for me how good it is as a parent to go and cheer on your kids.

1582
02:07:39,056 --> 02:07:40,756
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm addicted to it.

1583
02:07:41,116 --> 02:07:45,658
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, I want to sign them up for everything and take them to everything.

1584
02:07:47,278 --> 02:07:50,619
[SPEAKER_00]: So my wife and I, we were a little sad this weekend and went to the last game.

1585
02:07:51,920 --> 02:07:54,541
[SPEAKER_00]: And like, this is it until next next fall.

1586
02:07:55,821 --> 02:07:55,961
[SPEAKER_00]: But.

1587
02:07:57,307 --> 02:08:01,090
[SPEAKER_00]: Sure, as a parent, it's a lot different of a, it's a much different experience.

1588
02:08:01,110 --> 02:08:03,672
[SPEAKER_00]: So there's been some really nice weather around here.

1589
02:08:05,413 --> 02:08:08,996
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we're cool here, but should turn around soon.

1590
02:08:09,536 --> 02:08:17,242
[SPEAKER_00]: I've been working on my, I enjoy the old fashions in the summer, and I've been working on my homemade old fashioned recipe.

1591
02:08:17,462 --> 02:08:18,603
[SPEAKER_00]: It's getting quite good.

1592
02:08:20,184 --> 02:08:25,869
[SPEAKER_00]: Had a couple this weekend, which maybe, maybe I won't even tell anybody, actually.

1593
02:08:27,117 --> 02:08:31,140
[SPEAKER_00]: I also have a barrel smoker that Mrs. Bright got me that I haven't used yet.

1594
02:08:31,160 --> 02:08:35,304
[SPEAKER_00]: So we're gonna bring that out and smoke some old fashions.

1595
02:08:36,324 --> 02:08:36,625
[SPEAKER_00]: Nice.

1596
02:08:38,546 --> 02:08:42,750
[SPEAKER_00]: Filterdog1 says, I was never a Bruins fan until I saw the cheating Panthers.

1597
02:08:42,870 --> 02:08:44,411
[SPEAKER_00]: Is the NHL rigged like the NFL?

1598
02:08:44,871 --> 02:08:54,079
[SPEAKER_00]: I know everybody says everything's cheating, but we were up two to one and then a Florida Panther launched

1599
02:08:55,154 --> 02:09:04,497
[SPEAKER_00]: Charlie Coyle, local boy, into the goal, into the goalie, and then scored while he was on top of the goalie.

1600
02:09:05,397 --> 02:09:11,620
[SPEAKER_00]: They challenged the call, it went to the Canadians at corporate, and they kept the goal.

1601
02:09:11,840 --> 02:09:13,880
[SPEAKER_00]: And then the Bruins fell apart and the Panthers won.

1602
02:09:14,440 --> 02:09:18,662
[SPEAKER_00]: So, yeah, I don't know, is what it is.

1603
02:09:21,201 --> 02:09:23,163
[SPEAKER_00]: Regrub, have you heard of Mike Benz?

1604
02:09:23,203 --> 02:09:25,965
[SPEAKER_00]: Had a lot of info on recent Russell Brand interview blew my mind.

1605
02:09:26,025 --> 02:09:27,486
[SPEAKER_00]: I wanted to run it by the two of you.

1606
02:09:28,347 --> 02:09:30,068
[SPEAKER_00]: I haven't personally engaged with any of his stuff.

1607
02:09:30,128 --> 02:09:31,870
[SPEAKER_00]: I know John interviewed him recently.

1608
02:09:33,311 --> 02:09:35,112
[SPEAKER_00]: On Badlands, I think.

1609
02:09:36,694 --> 02:09:50,245
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I've seen some stuff from this interesting, but I really can't get over him being a proud boy and infiltrating gab and being this really like extreme anti Jew person.

1610
02:09:51,186 --> 02:09:57,289
[SPEAKER_00]: Completely anti-Semitic Jews run the world like most extreme anti-Jew rhetoric.

1611
02:09:57,349 --> 02:09:58,530
[SPEAKER_00]: And he was posting it all.

1612
02:09:59,470 --> 02:10:03,032
[SPEAKER_00]: And he said he was doing it as an op on behalf of the government.

1613
02:10:03,152 --> 02:10:10,155
[SPEAKER_00]: He was infiltrating these anti anti-Jew networks on Gab for some agency.

1614
02:10:11,656 --> 02:10:12,577
[SPEAKER_00]: You can look all this up.

1615
02:10:12,657 --> 02:10:13,917
[SPEAKER_00]: He went by frame game.

1616
02:10:13,957 --> 02:10:14,658
[SPEAKER_00]: You can look.

1617
02:10:14,998 --> 02:10:15,798
[SPEAKER_00]: You know about this, right?

1618
02:10:16,619 --> 02:10:17,059
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I didn't.

1619
02:10:17,714 --> 02:10:20,795
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, OK, well, I literally like know nothing about people that don't interest me.

1620
02:10:20,835 --> 02:10:22,516
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't even look into and he doesn't.

1621
02:10:22,556 --> 02:10:24,557
[SPEAKER_00]: He used to be known as a frame game.

1622
02:10:24,757 --> 02:10:27,698
[SPEAKER_00]: So if anybody wants to look it up, he used to be known as frame game.

1623
02:10:28,818 --> 02:10:36,982
[SPEAKER_00]: And he infiltrated all these anti-Semitic group or whatever groups on Gab and posted the most disgusting.

1624
02:10:38,240 --> 02:10:41,202
[SPEAKER_00]: Terrible stuff and then he switched.

1625
02:10:41,723 --> 02:10:48,909
[SPEAKER_00]: He turned he stopped being frame game and he switched to being Mike Benz and now all of a sudden he's super popular and is going on all the shows and.

1626
02:10:50,009 --> 02:10:51,110
[SPEAKER_00]: Everything and.

1627
02:10:52,071 --> 02:10:55,734
[SPEAKER_00]: Call me a conspiracy theorist, but it seems like a opt to me so.

1628
02:10:55,754 --> 02:10:58,716
[SPEAKER_00]: I just don't trust it.

1629
02:10:58,936 --> 02:11:05,402
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't you know the timeline of Proud Boy, anti Semitic Gabber.

1630
02:11:06,693 --> 02:11:21,441
[SPEAKER_00]: fed up to suddenly social media sensation, right, is a timeline I tend to be like yeah anybody on that timeline, no matter how good what they say now sounds.

1631
02:11:22,461 --> 02:11:28,505
[SPEAKER_00]: I can never quite trust them after all that other stuff, so.

1632
02:11:29,726 --> 02:11:38,872
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's a it's especially when we know people from the early Q days who still can't get their Twitter accounts back and then we get somebody like that.

1633
02:11:38,912 --> 02:11:47,518
[SPEAKER_00]: That's just like 300,000 followers overnight because you said shit that other people have been saying for six years or seven years.

1634
02:11:47,638 --> 02:11:48,999
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, anyway.

1635
02:11:49,079 --> 02:11:51,661
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I just think he's kind of a bitch, but I don't really care.

1636
02:11:53,062 --> 02:12:01,509
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like instantly skeptical of anybody who has like this really strong gift of gab that comes out of nowhere.

1637
02:12:03,030 --> 02:12:08,835
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's just like, cause the gift of gab will get you really far with a lot of people really, really quick.

1638
02:12:09,936 --> 02:12:18,303
[SPEAKER_00]: Especially if you can feign confidence as part of it and charisma and like people will accept you before they ever look at your background.

1639
02:12:19,549 --> 02:12:20,190
[SPEAKER_00]: And.

1640
02:12:21,251 --> 02:12:22,833
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like a red flag to me.

1641
02:12:23,293 --> 02:12:24,475
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we've seen it before this with it.

1642
02:12:24,735 --> 02:12:34,385
[SPEAKER_00]: We saw this with other figures with the act of 1871 and some of those figures that came out and then they and then a few months later they said that.

1643
02:12:34,866 --> 02:12:39,991
[SPEAKER_00]: Is it true that Donald Trump was pictured with Jeffrey Epstein might bear looking into?

1644
02:12:41,058 --> 02:12:42,299
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, exactly, exactly.

1645
02:12:42,519 --> 02:12:48,722
[SPEAKER_00]: Another figure that we got viciously attacked by a very small number of people for questioning.

1646
02:12:48,902 --> 02:12:50,603
[SPEAKER_00]: So we don't care anymore.

1647
02:12:51,503 --> 02:12:54,524
[SPEAKER_00]: You guys have hung around like I don't really give a shit.

1648
02:12:55,805 --> 02:12:57,666
[SPEAKER_00]: Mike Benz wasn't going to send me any flowers.

1649
02:12:58,066 --> 02:13:01,368
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't really know anything about him, but he just seems like kind of a bitch.

1650
02:13:02,148 --> 02:13:21,673
[SPEAKER_00]: so that's that's that's my view just be it based purely on the gift of gab stuff speaking of gab itself um i got sucked into that i was i was on gab for like a year in in the early early days and then yeah i was like oh this is some of my some of the anons i like went over to gab and then i was like

1651
02:13:23,089 --> 02:13:28,451
[SPEAKER_00]: Seems like you guys keep joking about not being the thing that the media is characterizing you as.

1652
02:13:28,471 --> 02:13:36,393
[SPEAKER_00]: And then it started becoming, well, fine, if they're gonna say that we're X, Y, and Z, we might as well just pretend we are.

1653
02:13:37,014 --> 02:13:41,815
[SPEAKER_00]: And then it went all the way to, yeah, we are all of these things.

1654
02:13:42,135 --> 02:13:42,355
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

1655
02:13:42,536 --> 02:13:43,216
[SPEAKER_00]: Proudly.

1656
02:13:44,136 --> 02:13:51,938
[SPEAKER_00]: And our mascot is a prepubescent looking Nick Fuentes who has, you know, like looks like he's never going to shave.

1657
02:13:52,179 --> 02:13:53,619
[SPEAKER_00]: No return of the king moment for him.

1658
02:13:53,639 --> 02:13:54,679
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

1659
02:13:55,239 --> 02:13:59,001
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I was like, all right, SpongeBob SquarePants style.

1660
02:13:59,141 --> 02:14:00,241
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm a I'm a dip out of here.

1661
02:14:00,521 --> 02:14:03,102
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I'm going to get up and take get my stuff.

1662
02:14:03,822 --> 02:14:04,402
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to leave.

1663
02:14:05,183 --> 02:14:05,863
[SPEAKER_00]: So, yeah.

1664
02:14:08,795 --> 02:14:10,415
[SPEAKER_00]: RL Skeeter, 75 bucks.

1665
02:14:11,075 --> 02:14:13,516
[SPEAKER_00]: I was abducted by aliens and have a lot to catch up on.

1666
02:14:13,536 --> 02:14:16,836
[SPEAKER_00]: Have you discussed Borealis and the connection possibly to harp?

1667
02:14:18,497 --> 02:14:18,957
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I don't.

1668
02:14:19,137 --> 02:14:19,777
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't buy it.

1669
02:14:19,797 --> 02:14:20,357
[SPEAKER_00]: We've seen any.

1670
02:14:20,717 --> 02:14:21,657
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, don't buy it at all.

1671
02:14:23,218 --> 02:14:23,798
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you, though.

1672
02:14:23,838 --> 02:14:24,818
[SPEAKER_00]: Very much appreciated.

1673
02:14:25,278 --> 02:14:27,978
[SPEAKER_00]: I hope your abduction was fun, dude.

1674
02:14:28,159 --> 02:14:32,999
[SPEAKER_00]: If harp can do one tenth of the things that people come up with theories that it can do.

1675
02:14:33,019 --> 02:14:34,580
[SPEAKER_00]: Then.

1676
02:14:35,920 --> 02:14:36,140
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean,

1677
02:14:37,463 --> 02:14:38,604
[SPEAKER_00]: Why are we even fighting?

1678
02:14:38,865 --> 02:14:39,525
[SPEAKER_00]: They've already won.

1679
02:14:39,806 --> 02:14:42,188
[SPEAKER_00]: They have all the technology like they can just.

1680
02:14:44,731 --> 02:14:48,135
[SPEAKER_00]: Like people like they use the they use harp and they just assign it.

1681
02:14:49,376 --> 02:14:51,979
[SPEAKER_00]: All of these incredible abilities with no debate, no basis.

1682
02:14:53,161 --> 02:14:56,945
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, here's this piece of technology that I don't understand, so I'm just going to pretend that it's magical.

1683
02:14:58,351 --> 02:15:01,772
[SPEAKER_00]: And anything that happens in the sky, I'm going to say HAARP did it.

1684
02:15:02,152 --> 02:15:04,053
[SPEAKER_00]: And any earthquakes, I'm going to say HAARP did it.

1685
02:15:04,213 --> 02:15:05,914
[SPEAKER_00]: And any volcanoes, HAARP did it.

1686
02:15:06,514 --> 02:15:13,736
[SPEAKER_00]: And a shuttle, like no matter what, it's like when people don't understand something, they can't distinguish it from magic.

1687
02:15:14,616 --> 02:15:16,557
[SPEAKER_00]: So people just think HAARP is magical.

1688
02:15:18,558 --> 02:15:20,879
[SPEAKER_00]: I just had a random thought on our previous segment.

1689
02:15:20,979 --> 02:15:21,599
[SPEAKER_00]: Is it weird?

1690
02:15:22,802 --> 02:15:35,066
[SPEAKER_00]: If your whole brand is online censorship and you're saying this from a platform that routinely gives each of your posts hundreds of thousands, if not millions of impressions.

1691
02:15:36,827 --> 02:15:38,627
[SPEAKER_00]: Is that a weird, is that weird?

1692
02:15:39,187 --> 02:15:39,508
[SPEAKER_00]: It's weird.

1693
02:15:39,528 --> 02:15:40,288
[SPEAKER_00]: A little bit.

1694
02:15:40,308 --> 02:15:40,508
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.

1695
02:15:41,693 --> 02:15:54,184
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, guys, if we start complaining to you about censorship while we're allowed, if we're allowed on YouTube and like our number one on trending charts and everything, you can, you can call us out.

1696
02:15:55,405 --> 02:15:56,306
[SPEAKER_00]: Rumble's good to us.

1697
02:15:56,626 --> 02:16:01,750
[SPEAKER_00]: Rumble gets us on a leader, which by the way, when you hit the like, it gets us that visibility.

1698
02:16:02,411 --> 02:16:03,472
[SPEAKER_00]: Rumble doesn't censor us.

1699
02:16:03,612 --> 02:16:04,313
[SPEAKER_00]: Rumble loves us.

1700
02:16:05,113 --> 02:16:09,337
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, other platforms, not so much, but at this point we take it as a badge of honor.

1701
02:16:11,414 --> 02:16:13,897
[SPEAKER_00]: Samantha 321 is a Badlands monthly supporter.

1702
02:16:13,957 --> 02:16:15,158
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's appreciated.

1703
02:16:15,739 --> 02:16:17,641
[SPEAKER_00]: Dak 8869 says evening friends.

1704
02:16:17,681 --> 02:16:21,646
[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry, Kyle tapped into the Glenn Fittich 18 today during the NASCAR race.

1705
02:16:21,786 --> 02:16:22,607
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, it was good.

1706
02:16:22,627 --> 02:16:25,950
[SPEAKER_00]: I assume he means the Glenn Fittich, not the NASCAR.

1707
02:16:26,351 --> 02:16:31,697
[SPEAKER_00]: He says, I guess that means I'll be bringing a 23 year old grand crew with me to Myrtle Beach.

1708
02:16:33,716 --> 02:16:34,697
[SPEAKER_00]: I will be there.

1709
02:16:35,878 --> 02:16:40,323
[SPEAKER_00]: Kyle's like, I was not going to attend, but now I will.

1710
02:16:42,811 --> 02:16:43,771
[SPEAKER_00]: RL Skeeter, 10 bucks.

1711
02:16:44,232 --> 02:16:45,652
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow, eliminate lobbyists.

1712
02:16:45,712 --> 02:16:46,612
[SPEAKER_00]: What a stellar idea.

1713
02:16:46,632 --> 02:16:54,315
[SPEAKER_00]: I think this was in reference to the narrowing of elected official acts.

1714
02:16:55,135 --> 02:16:55,976
[SPEAKER_00]: Say that again.

1715
02:16:56,316 --> 02:16:57,156
[SPEAKER_00]: What was the rant?

1716
02:16:57,516 --> 02:16:59,897
[SPEAKER_00]: He or she said, wow, eliminate lobbyists.

1717
02:16:59,977 --> 02:17:00,917
[SPEAKER_00]: What a stellar idea.

1718
02:17:01,017 --> 02:17:07,880
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think this was in reference to when we were saying official acts being more defined by elected representatives.

1719
02:17:09,079 --> 02:17:22,266
[SPEAKER_00]: So the idea being if these representatives have a much more stringent definition of what constitutes official acts, could that pave a way to curbing some of the lobbying that we see in our system?

1720
02:17:25,628 --> 02:17:26,829
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it can't help it.

1721
02:17:29,550 --> 02:17:29,790
[SPEAKER_00]: Not.

1722
02:17:31,051 --> 02:17:33,512
[SPEAKER_00]: Not sure, because lobbying is a protected practice.

1723
02:17:36,234 --> 02:17:37,014
[SPEAKER_00]: It's so crazy to me.

1724
02:17:42,725 --> 02:17:50,987
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not I'm not sure that's like a bipartisan issue when you go to normies and you just ask about lobbying right, left or center like everyone's against it.

1725
02:17:51,467 --> 02:17:52,808
[SPEAKER_00]: Everyone in the country is against it.

1726
02:17:53,708 --> 02:18:00,850
[SPEAKER_00]: It's yeah, it's it's just kind of one of those like common sense sort of things where you're like you shouldn't I feel like you shouldn't be able to do that.

1727
02:18:01,950 --> 02:18:06,412
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but people also like have a. A characterization.

1728
02:18:08,666 --> 02:18:10,906
[SPEAKER_00]: It's all about whether money is changing hands.

1729
02:18:11,607 --> 02:18:12,267
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they care.

1730
02:18:12,387 --> 02:18:20,308
[SPEAKER_00]: People have a characterization in their mind of what lobbying is, and it's always the most swampy type of lobbying when it isn't always that.

1731
02:18:21,109 --> 02:18:32,331
[SPEAKER_00]: And people are selective about what lobbying they support and don't support, because if it's a lobbying group that lobbies Congress, people or senators for causes that you support,

1732
02:18:33,598 --> 02:18:41,684
[SPEAKER_00]: then people tend to be in favor of that lobbying, but not in favor of the lobbying from groups who advocate for policies they don't support.

1733
02:18:42,564 --> 02:18:49,069
[SPEAKER_00]: Probably everyone that's watching this show is okay with groups that lobby for less taxes.

1734
02:18:52,469 --> 02:18:59,976
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, does anybody want to stop groups from law, like American Enterprise Institute or somebody from lobbying for lower taxes?

1735
02:19:00,417 --> 02:19:04,060
[SPEAKER_00]: Like you said, the connotation of lobbyists is ones who are worried.

1736
02:19:04,641 --> 02:19:10,807
[SPEAKER_00]: I think lobby, the current connotation of lobbyists ties into quid pro quo.

1737
02:19:10,947 --> 02:19:13,329
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's really what people are looking at.

1738
02:19:13,610 --> 02:19:15,491
[SPEAKER_00]: You're going to hear from these groups that are

1739
02:19:16,172 --> 02:19:36,704
[SPEAKER_00]: Funding different campaigns that money ends up finding its way into swampy positions post elected office That's just what people think of as lobbying even though obviously that's just like you said the swampy part of it Yeah, and I with the official acts in Menendez trial.

1740
02:19:36,784 --> 02:19:37,645
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not sure I

1741
02:19:41,533 --> 02:19:43,394
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think there are good enough defense for him.

1742
02:19:44,215 --> 02:19:50,379
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I think he can make that case, but the end result of it, I think Menendez is the first of several people who are going to go down.

1743
02:19:51,199 --> 02:20:08,551
[SPEAKER_00]: So it will be interesting to watch how they handle him bringing up his duties as a Senator and then them trying the way the prosecution ties, what he's did as a Senator to the bribes and the influence from the Qatari family members and the Egyptians.

1744
02:20:09,612 --> 02:20:09,692
[SPEAKER_00]: Um,

1745
02:20:11,363 --> 02:20:17,165
[SPEAKER_00]: It'll be interesting to see how they're able to say, look, this was an official act by the Senator as part of his duties.

1746
02:20:17,645 --> 02:20:25,327
[SPEAKER_00]: But the reason he did what he did, his motivator, motivating factors behind it were not solely for this, this and this.

1747
02:20:25,707 --> 02:20:31,089
[SPEAKER_00]: They primarily had to do with the gold bars that were already in his wife's purse or whatever.

1748
02:20:31,169 --> 02:20:37,491
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, they're going to have to, they're going to have to tie it into, it's an official act that should be protected normally.

1749
02:20:38,769 --> 02:20:41,912
[SPEAKER_00]: except that we know that his motivation here was criminal.

1750
02:20:43,773 --> 02:20:49,138
[SPEAKER_00]: So maybe that's the thing that actually gets really spelled out there that gets drilled into.

1751
02:20:49,818 --> 02:20:52,621
[SPEAKER_00]: And then that ends up affecting relationships that other people have.

1752
02:20:52,961 --> 02:20:54,082
[SPEAKER_00]: But I'm not sure about it.

1753
02:20:54,202 --> 02:20:57,104
[SPEAKER_00]: And one of the reasons is because everything with Menendez was underhanded.

1754
02:20:57,845 --> 02:21:01,288
[SPEAKER_00]: It wasn't an official lobbyist or a registered foreign agent.

1755
02:21:02,509 --> 02:21:05,852
[SPEAKER_00]: Some of them did register as foreign agents later after the fact.

1756
02:21:06,872 --> 02:21:08,833
[SPEAKER_00]: But these were unregistered lobbyists.

1757
02:21:09,053 --> 02:21:20,079
[SPEAKER_00]: These were off the books, unofficial meetings that these weren't, these people, these aren't traditional lobbyists that were involved in Menendez crimes.

1758
02:21:22,181 --> 02:21:23,101
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess is what I want to say.

1759
02:21:23,782 --> 02:21:25,402
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

1765
02:21:37,169 --> 02:21:40,092
[SPEAKER_00]: I love the DBZ figure in the background in front of the Badlands sign.

1766
02:21:40,112 --> 02:21:41,573
[SPEAKER_00]: It's always been my favorite show.

1767
02:21:41,693 --> 02:21:44,016
[SPEAKER_00]: You should make a whole action scene in the background.

1768
02:21:45,137 --> 02:21:46,859
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't have enough DBZ figures, but.

1769
02:21:48,040 --> 02:21:48,921
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe I should get some more.

1770
02:21:50,102 --> 02:21:50,903
[SPEAKER_00]: It's tax write off.

1771
02:21:51,906 --> 02:21:55,148
[SPEAKER_00]: Get some more DBZ figures, line them all up, say I needed it.

1772
02:21:55,508 --> 02:22:03,253
[SPEAKER_00]: I literally was, I was lobbied directly by a supporter of mine to purchase more DBZ figures.

1773
02:22:04,214 --> 02:22:05,194
[SPEAKER_00]: Everybody witnessed it.

1774
02:22:05,654 --> 02:22:11,318
[SPEAKER_00]: It was an official act of Defected, thereby by proxy, it was an official act of Badlands Media.

1775
02:22:13,439 --> 02:22:14,720
[SPEAKER_00]: Sure, sure.

02:22:17,803 --> 02:22:19,805
[SPEAKER_00]: Always enjoy a defected episode when I can catch it.

1778
02:22:20,545 --> 02:22:22,427
[SPEAKER_00]: That implies you don't always catch it.

1779
02:22:25,249 --> 02:22:28,893
[SPEAKER_00]: Little bit of wiggle room in there I don't like, but thank you honeypot hounds.

02:23:14,760 --> 02:23:16,501
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen, General, here's what we think you should do.

[SPEAKER_00]: Ask him to rebrand kind of how he's talking about the queue up after giving the queue oath on cameras.

1802
02:23:30,430 --> 02:23:31,851
[SPEAKER_00]: So just a little silly.

1803
02:23:32,512 --> 02:23:33,833
[SPEAKER_00]: I just stay away from that.

1804
02:23:33,953 --> 02:23:35,594
[SPEAKER_00]: I get why he stays away from the topic.

1805
02:23:36,935 --> 02:23:37,835
[SPEAKER_00]: I would not bring that up.

1806
02:23:41,604 --> 02:23:42,765
[SPEAKER_00]: But I don't.

1807
02:23:43,866 --> 02:23:46,507

[SPEAKER_00]: What about me crane up?

1846
02:25:23,368 --> 02:25:29,149

02:25:35,450 --> 02:25:35,790
[SPEAKER_00]: Deadwood.

1850
02:25:35,990 --> 02:25:38,231
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like Deadwood is like a crane up type of place.

1851
02:25:41,772 --> 02:25:43,192
[SPEAKER_00]: Should be good swingy doors.

1852

02:26:07,305 --> 02:26:09,786
[SPEAKER_00]: You can just say it in the chat and I'll see mine is

1860
02:26:11,622 --> 02:26:19,507
[SPEAKER_00]: is actually an understated moment, and it's when Vegeta gives the assist to Gohan.

1861
02:26:21,161 --> 02:26:26,826
[SPEAKER_00]: to help distract the perfect form of Cell so that Gohan is able to kill him.

1862
02:26:27,266 --> 02:26:44,682
[SPEAKER_00]: There's so much storytelling that goes into that one moment because Goku is dead and Vegeta was Goku's biggest rival and he uses the last of his power to give his greatest rival's son the opening he needs to win the battle and save the planet.

1863
02:26:47,144 --> 02:26:48,205
[SPEAKER_00]: That's why Vegeta's the GOAT.

1864
02:26:50,835 --> 02:27:01,997
[SPEAKER_00]: Get the boys into Dragon Ball Z. Oh Jensen already is he's trying to get me into it, but I just That's cuz you're not watching the originals with the Bruce Falconer score electric guitar score.

[SPEAKER_00]: I've got it.

1867
02:27:05,598 --> 02:27:14,460
[SPEAKER_00]: I've got it immortalized on blu-ray eventual bright children are going to be raised exclusively on Dragon Ball Z might be

1868
02:27:15,846 --> 02:27:19,307
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't really care for the animation style very much.

1869
02:27:20,308 --> 02:27:20,868
[SPEAKER_00]: How dare you?

1870
02:27:21,988 --> 02:27:27,670
[SPEAKER_00]: Although I don't like particularly dislike it, I don't particularly like it.

1871
02:27:27,710 --> 02:27:30,031
[SPEAKER_00]: Depends if the B squad's on the episodes.

1872
02:27:31,052 --> 02:27:33,332
[SPEAKER_00]: There's good animators and crappy animators.

1873
02:27:33,813 --> 02:27:34,873
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah.

1874
02:27:37,334 --> 02:27:37,654
[SPEAKER_00]: Fine.

1875
02:27:38,234 --> 02:27:40,235
[SPEAKER_00]: Diana D11 came in at the go ahead.

1876
02:27:41,288 --> 02:27:44,831
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I was going to say, I really like the art style in Naruto.

1877
02:27:45,011 --> 02:27:48,674
[SPEAKER_00]: And I like the art style in Neon Genesis Evangelion.

1878
02:27:49,975 --> 02:27:50,916
[SPEAKER_00]: And I like the art style.

1879
02:27:51,436 --> 02:27:56,220
[SPEAKER_00]: See, I like art styles that have enough realism in them.

1880
02:27:56,860 --> 02:28:06,428
[SPEAKER_00]: And Dragon Ball Z trends into the non-realistic, where it's very cartoony.

1881
02:28:06,648 --> 02:28:09,531
[SPEAKER_00]: And every once in a while, Naruto does that, too.

1882
02:28:10,362 --> 02:28:14,546
[SPEAKER_00]: It's usually when something silly happens, they switch to this very cartoony, right?

1883
02:28:14,566 --> 02:28:18,950
[SPEAKER_00]: Silly look to it like Looney Tunes type.

1884
02:28:20,151 --> 02:28:22,033
[SPEAKER_00]: Aesthetic and I don't care for that.

1885
02:28:22,133 --> 02:28:23,655
[SPEAKER_00]: I like I like more realism.

1886
02:28:24,576 --> 02:28:27,899
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, some of the later sagas are more realistic more often.

1887
02:28:28,900 --> 02:28:31,602
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, the early stuff is a little bit more.

1888
02:28:32,103 --> 02:28:35,266
[SPEAKER_00]: We've got about 40 episodes left of Naruto, me and Jensen.

1889
02:28:36,513 --> 02:28:36,873
[SPEAKER_00]: That's it.

1890
02:28:37,194 --> 02:28:42,321
[SPEAKER_00]: Out of hundreds, however many there are 600 or something episodes, whatever it is, a lot of filler in that show.

1891
02:28:42,341 --> 02:28:44,123
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, there's been a lot of filler.

1892
02:28:44,804 --> 02:28:45,465
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, there has.

1893
02:28:46,206 --> 02:28:47,828
[SPEAKER_00]: And I love the wagon on the anime.

1894
02:28:47,968 --> 02:28:48,729
[SPEAKER_00]: I read the manga.

1895
02:28:49,910 --> 02:28:50,251
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

1896
02:28:51,673 --> 02:28:52,694
[SPEAKER_00]: I do like it a lot, though.

1897
02:28:52,714 --> 02:28:53,415
[SPEAKER_00]: I really do.

1898
02:28:55,580 --> 02:29:01,907
[SPEAKER_00]: I saw somebody, A on C, when Trunks kills Robot Frieza in seconds after it took Goku weeks of episodes to complete.

1899
02:29:02,648 --> 02:29:03,269
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't love that.

1900
02:29:03,449 --> 02:29:04,870
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not a Trunks guy.

1901
02:29:06,092 --> 02:29:09,015
[SPEAKER_00]: Trunks is kind of, Trunks is kind of mid.

1902
02:29:10,717 --> 02:29:13,058
[SPEAKER_00]: I was looking for Rave Daddy's response.

1903
02:29:13,098 --> 02:29:13,518
[SPEAKER_00]: He's right there.

1904
02:29:13,558 --> 02:29:14,118
[SPEAKER_00]: He just came in.

1905
02:29:14,699 --> 02:29:15,419
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, he just came in.

1906
02:29:15,559 --> 02:29:16,319
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, 20 bucks.

1907
02:29:16,359 --> 02:29:18,440
[SPEAKER_00]: He didn't have to send a ramp for it, but thank you.

1908
02:29:18,480 --> 02:29:20,741
[SPEAKER_00]: GT is the, GTs, how dare you?

1909
02:29:20,761 --> 02:29:22,502
[SPEAKER_00]: You're gonna get me all fired up.

1910
02:29:22,942 --> 02:29:29,084
[SPEAKER_00]: GT is the best, but they play that whole version as a illegit, and it makes me mad because they took out the tails in Super Monkeys on Super.

1911
02:29:29,564 --> 02:29:36,907
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, Rave Daddy, you were elevating, and then you come in here and tell me Dragon Ball GT is the best.

1912
02:29:37,227 --> 02:29:38,188
[SPEAKER_00]: For those who don't know,

1913
02:29:39,088 --> 02:29:45,990
[SPEAKER_00]: Dragon Ball GT is a follow-up to Dragon Ball Z, not made by Akira Toriyama, the original creator.

1914
02:29:46,450 --> 02:29:51,712
[SPEAKER_00]: It is basically the Disney Star Wars sequels of the Dragon Ball universe.

1915
02:29:52,072 --> 02:29:54,432
[SPEAKER_00]: They make Goku a child.

1916
02:29:54,892 --> 02:29:59,014
[SPEAKER_00]: He gets wished into being a little child again, and it's terrible.

1917
02:29:59,054 --> 02:30:00,074
[SPEAKER_00]: How dare you say that?

1918
02:30:01,149 --> 02:30:03,891
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, thanks for the support, but that's disgusting.

1919
02:30:04,391 --> 02:30:09,394
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't believe you would do that on an official, you'd use a rant to promote Dragon Ball GT.

1920
02:30:09,834 --> 02:30:14,436
[SPEAKER_00]: The monkey form was kind of cool, but that's bad, Rave.

1921
02:30:14,676 --> 02:30:16,558
[SPEAKER_00]: You were one of them.

1922
02:30:18,158 --> 02:30:26,483
[SPEAKER_00]: Diana D11 says, I love you Kyle, therefore, and before you dismiss Harp, I suggest watching Brad's video about natural disasters and Trump's presidency.

1923
02:30:26,923 --> 02:30:29,705
[SPEAKER_00]: It is mind blowing and it's Brad, not just some rando.

1924
02:30:30,512 --> 02:30:31,233
[SPEAKER_00]: Love you too, baby.

1925
02:30:31,953 --> 02:30:32,954
[SPEAKER_00]: Who's Brad Raskin?

1926
02:30:33,414 --> 02:30:36,737
[SPEAKER_00]: Some rando random person named Brad.

1927
02:30:36,757 --> 02:30:37,758
[SPEAKER_00]: There's tons of Brads.

1928
02:30:37,798 --> 02:30:38,338
[SPEAKER_00]: Who's Brad?

1929
02:30:38,358 --> 02:30:41,661
[SPEAKER_00]: Some Jersey mook from what I hear probably just spends his day.

1930
02:30:41,901 --> 02:30:43,282
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, one of those GT.

1931
02:30:46,185 --> 02:30:48,427
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh man, fires me up right before the end of the show.

1932
02:30:48,487 --> 02:30:49,627
[SPEAKER_00]: Dragon Ball GT.

1933
02:30:49,668 --> 02:30:54,051
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't say that my children will never know of the existence of Dragon Ball GT.

1934
02:30:56,593 --> 02:30:57,694
[SPEAKER_00]: That's my only priority.

1935
02:30:58,254 --> 02:30:59,636
[SPEAKER_00]: Everything else, but whatever.

1936
02:31:00,959 --> 02:31:21,147
[SPEAKER_00]: do all the drugs you want like vote democrat don't watch dragon ball gt vote democrat that's gonna be that's gonna be that's the clip all right guys that's it well thank you thank you very much i think we figured a lot out tonight um

1937
02:31:22,674 --> 02:31:24,115
[SPEAKER_00]: We learned a lot for sure.

1938
02:31:24,376 --> 02:31:26,437
[SPEAKER_00]: We did save the info war.

1939
02:31:26,978 --> 02:31:32,203
[SPEAKER_00]: Kyle did prep us to laugh at the potential Trump arrest.

1940
02:31:34,004 --> 02:31:40,410
[SPEAKER_00]: Or jailing, I should say, because it's going to be both funny and really bad for them if they do it.

1941
02:31:40,690 --> 02:31:42,772
[SPEAKER_00]: And if they don't do it, then it means they probably got spooked.

1942
02:31:42,792 --> 02:31:46,836
[SPEAKER_00]: OK.

1943
02:31:46,856 --> 02:31:49,018
[SPEAKER_00]: I have to say.

1944
02:31:50,737 --> 02:31:53,539
[SPEAKER_00]: So congratulations to everybody on surviving the.

1945
02:31:55,501 --> 02:31:56,441
[SPEAKER_00]: The harp.

1946
02:31:58,383 --> 02:32:05,749
[SPEAKER_00]: Conducted or spawned Aurora Borealis light show whatnot and surviving.

1947
02:32:06,409 --> 02:32:07,910
[SPEAKER_00]: How many days of darkness did we have?

1948
02:32:08,911 --> 02:32:10,312
[SPEAKER_00]: We haven't had any days of darkness.

1949
02:32:11,473 --> 02:32:12,774
[SPEAKER_00]: Any communication blackouts?

1950
02:32:14,415 --> 02:32:14,595
[SPEAKER_00]: Nope.

1951
02:32:15,056 --> 02:32:16,016
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, you did tonight.

1952
02:32:16,197 --> 02:32:16,897
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I did.

1953
02:32:17,237 --> 02:32:17,818
[SPEAKER_00]: Did that count?

1954
02:32:17,918 --> 02:32:18,338
[SPEAKER_00]: Was that it?

1955
02:32:19,459 --> 02:32:19,799
[SPEAKER_00]: Could be.

1956
02:32:20,200 --> 02:32:20,580
[SPEAKER_00]: Was that it?

1957
02:32:21,325 --> 02:32:21,665
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe.

1958
02:32:22,766 --> 02:32:27,608
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, so congratulations everybody on making it through all of this stuff.

1959
02:32:27,968 --> 02:32:32,730
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, hopefully the deep state will not be in control of harp any longer and the Patriots can take it over.

1960
02:32:33,911 --> 02:32:35,591
[SPEAKER_00]: And, um, y'all have a great week.

1961
02:32:35,631 --> 02:32:40,333
[SPEAKER_00]: Remember Trump is probably going to jail this week and it's going to be a lot of fun.

1962
02:32:41,194 --> 02:32:42,734
[SPEAKER_00]: So just, just have fun with it.

1963
02:32:43,575 --> 02:32:46,576
[SPEAKER_00]: And, um, yeah, remember everybody's trying to program you.

1964
02:32:47,096 --> 02:32:48,597
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't let them program yourself.

1965
02:32:49,355 --> 02:32:51,736
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm glad that Bibi and I found things to talk about.

1966
02:32:53,216 --> 02:32:55,217
[SPEAKER_00]: And only it was a two and a half hour show.

1967
02:32:55,277 --> 02:32:56,797
[SPEAKER_00]: Thanks to Bibi and I ran one.

1968
02:32:57,717 --> 02:32:58,538
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's a short one.

1969
02:32:59,678 --> 02:33:02,499
[SPEAKER_00]: But we'll try and we'll try and find some real topics for next Sunday.

1970
02:33:03,219 --> 02:33:05,960
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, by the way, guys, movie for Tuesday night.

1971
02:33:07,040 --> 02:33:07,900
[SPEAKER_00]: We're getting weird.

1972
02:33:09,021 --> 02:33:10,501
[SPEAKER_00]: We're doing the never ending story.

1973
02:33:10,901 --> 02:33:11,642
[SPEAKER_00]: Nineteen eighty four.

1974
02:33:12,502 --> 02:33:13,022
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, bro.

1975
02:33:14,714 --> 02:33:18,295
[SPEAKER_00]: Ouch, I don't know if I can make it through the Artex scene as an adult.

1976
02:33:18,495 --> 02:33:20,195
[SPEAKER_00]: I couldn't as a kid, but.

1977
02:33:22,916 --> 02:33:24,096
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if I can watch it.

1978
02:33:24,256 --> 02:33:26,697
[SPEAKER_00]: Children's movies in the 80s were just trauma.

1979
02:33:27,257 --> 02:33:30,577
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, just I don't know what happened to us, but.

1980
02:33:33,078 --> 02:33:38,719
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, I my wife and oldest kid watched it last year, I think.

1981
02:33:40,119 --> 02:33:42,440
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think we were doing defected.

1982
02:33:43,826 --> 02:33:47,048
[SPEAKER_00]: And they started it and I realized they were watching it that night.

1983
02:33:47,068 --> 02:33:48,449
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they watched it last summer.

1984
02:33:49,550 --> 02:33:51,992
[SPEAKER_00]: And when I saw they were watching it, I was like.

1985
02:33:52,012 --> 02:33:54,353
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

1986
02:33:55,455 --> 02:33:56,455
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if I can do that.

1987
02:33:56,575 --> 02:33:57,816
[SPEAKER_00]: Can he handle that, babe?

1988
02:33:57,896 --> 02:33:59,696
[SPEAKER_00]: And my wife was like, I don't know if he can handle it or not.

1989
02:33:59,957 --> 02:34:01,117
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

1990
02:34:01,137 --> 02:34:02,297
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to find out.

1991
02:34:02,557 --> 02:34:03,758
[SPEAKER_00]: This is what this is what it has.

1992
02:34:03,918 --> 02:34:04,698
[SPEAKER_00]: It must be done.

1993
02:34:05,538 --> 02:34:15,322
[SPEAKER_00]: The same pain that was visited on us as kids must be visited upon our kids waking up in cold sweats, screaming for our tech.

1994
02:34:18,143 --> 02:34:19,043
[SPEAKER_00]: You can't give in.

1995
02:34:20,314 --> 02:34:21,014
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a rough one.

1996
02:34:21,034 --> 02:34:22,615
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't believe I did this to us.

1997
02:34:23,095 --> 02:34:42,079
[SPEAKER_00]: We're all gonna get through it together I don't know about Chris But did you should start the show y'all should both have like tissue boxes like right like next to your screen You should definitely have a tissue box on screen And then the the big stone guy that they look like big strong hands, don't they?

1998
02:34:42,600 --> 02:34:44,340
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh God so much trauma in that

1999
02:34:45,922 --> 02:34:49,023
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm sorry in advance guys, but you've watched it.

2000
02:34:49,163 --> 02:34:50,343
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm so gonna have nightmares.

2001
02:34:50,923 --> 02:34:58,545
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, Drummer Red came in here at the wire finishing off my birthday and my mom's day with a warmed up apple crumble vanilla ice cream.

2002
02:34:58,565 --> 02:35:00,305
[SPEAKER_00]: And here's five bucks because it's 71.

2003
02:35:01,065 --> 02:35:02,145
[SPEAKER_00]: I got B-day money today.

2004
02:35:02,225 --> 02:35:04,026
[SPEAKER_00]: Love all Badlanders and Defected.

2005
02:35:05,326 --> 02:35:06,046
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you very much.

2006
02:35:07,606 --> 02:35:09,687
[SPEAKER_00]: I am, oh, dang, I am so hungry.

2007
02:35:09,747 --> 02:35:11,287
[SPEAKER_00]: I want some apple crumble, yeah.

2008
02:35:12,687 --> 02:35:13,247
[SPEAKER_00]: Pretty upset.

2009
02:35:14,428 --> 02:35:15,528
[SPEAKER_00]: About Artec first.

2010
02:35:16,613 --> 02:35:17,273
[SPEAKER_00]: I gotta be strong.

2011
02:35:17,373 --> 02:35:18,254
[SPEAKER_00]: See, now I gotta be strong.

2012
02:35:18,354 --> 02:35:22,336
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't go and stress eat because of the never ending story.

2013
02:35:22,396 --> 02:35:23,437
[SPEAKER_00]: Artex, I've been saying it wrong.

2014
02:35:23,497 --> 02:35:23,777
[SPEAKER_00]: Artex.

2015
02:35:23,857 --> 02:35:26,679
[SPEAKER_00]: I need, I can't, I gotta avoid stress eating over that.

2016
02:35:26,759 --> 02:35:31,521
[SPEAKER_00]: But then now you just seeded that vanilla apple crisp thing in my head.

2017
02:35:31,541 --> 02:35:35,563
[SPEAKER_00]: So now I gotta resist binge eating just because it tastes so good.

2018
02:35:36,104 --> 02:35:41,767
[SPEAKER_00]: Have we now conflated Artex death with warm apple crisp?

2019
02:35:42,387 --> 02:35:43,708
[SPEAKER_00]: Because that's devastating, if so.

2020
02:35:46,892 --> 02:35:47,212
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

2021
02:35:47,252 --> 02:35:47,893
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like I could go.

2022
02:35:47,913 --> 02:35:48,793
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, man.

2023
02:35:49,033 --> 02:35:56,078
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought I could go to therapy and I could probably discover that I was overweight for most of my life because of that scene and stress eating after that movie.

2024
02:35:56,098 --> 02:35:56,318
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

2025
02:35:57,759 --> 02:35:59,980
[SPEAKER_00]: That is actually the source of my childhood depression.

2026
02:36:02,882 --> 02:36:05,704
[SPEAKER_00]: I was I was looking forward to watching it, but now I'm just upset.

2027
02:36:07,005 --> 02:36:07,125
[SPEAKER_00]: So.

2028
02:36:12,322 --> 02:36:16,284
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, on that note, do the story hour homework or not.

2029
02:36:16,404 --> 02:36:18,305
[SPEAKER_00]: Just show up anyway.

2030
02:36:19,806 --> 02:36:20,687
[SPEAKER_00]: Good night, everyone.

2031
02:36:21,027 --> 02:36:21,347
[SPEAKER_00]: See you.

[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you so much for joining us.

2033
02:36:24,048 --> 02:36:26,049
[SPEAKER_00]: And don't forget to hit the thumbs up on this video.

2034
02:36:26,710 --> 02:36:28,811
[SPEAKER_00]: And a special thank you to all of our advertising partners.

2035
02:36:29,251 --> 02:36:33,113
[SPEAKER_00]: Please remember to shift your dollars to support those businesses that support Badlands Media.

2036
02:36:58,116 --> 02:36:58,579
so
