Speaker 1 (00:08):
Have you ever thought about what it would be like
to starve to death or honestly, probably words die of thirst?
Have you ever thought about what it would be like
to die of thirst? I've never done it, obviously, so
I'm still here talking to you. But it's not pleasant
when you read about what people go through.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
It's not pleasant. Do you know, for instance, when you're
starving to death, the normal thing, the normal thing if
you're starving to death, is to eat other people. I
don't want to eat anybody.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
I know you don't either, but you can lose your
mind to the point and be so crazed with hunger
you will eat other human beings.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
You know that.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
When we talk about Christopher Columbus, because today is Columbus Day,
I think it's important we acknowledge something. There's an old
saying by Lord Acton, almost all great men are bad men.
I don't know what you consider good and consider bad.
And certainly when you look at the history of Columbus
you could find plenty of warts. But let's be frank

(01:15):
about something. If you look at your history, you don't
have to tell me. I don't want you to tell
me how many warts you.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
Got in there? Now, you me look like somebody this
about me.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
I've done so many horrible things in my life, more
than I could ever count.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
If you were to want me to tell you the
story of my life, I just hit.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
The high points right, the best cheeseburger in the world.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
I build sheds, you know things like that.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
I don't want you to know about all the bad stuff.
You want me to know about all your bad stuff.
But when we talk about Christopher Columbus, because America's culture
has been taken over by a bunch of well America
haters who want to bring the country to.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Its knees, all you hear about is the slavery.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
And the bad stuff. How were supposed to change today
to indigenous people's day? Like, I don't care how you
judge Columbus.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
That's really your business. You judge anyone however you want.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
But you better acknowledge a couple things one this country.
While obviously Leif Erikson and others had discovered it or
been here before, it was Christopher Columbus's voyage that brought
this country into the mainstream, allowed it to be colonized
by Europeans.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
That's one. Two. When Christopher Columbus.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
Got on a ship and pointed it west across the ocean.
He did so, and every man on his crew, to
their credit, they all did so with the full knowledge.
When you die on a ship in the ocean, you
starve to death. You die of thirst. When they set

(02:49):
sail from Europe had just heading west. They were looking
right and they were looking left, and they were saying,
I wonder if I'm going to eat him or he's
going to eat me.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
Now, I don't know about you.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
That alone is an act that is braver than anything
I have ever done or will ever do in my lifetime.
So I actually don't care if you like Columbus or
don't like Columbus. Christopher Columbus did something incredible, and what
a thing to say about anyone's life.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
Yours, mine or anybody's. If you did one incredible thing,
Oh you're gonna have warts. I have no doubt you
already have them.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
I certainly do. I'd love to do one thing as
incredible as what Christopher Columbus has done. And I want
you to understand when you see a lot of this
filth day today, and you probably have seen it, when
you see coaches like Greg Popovich talking like this, there's
a reason.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
I'm a little confused about our city and why it's
Indigenous People's Day. Slash Columbus Day. Columbus, I mean, he
initiated a new world genocide.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
That's what he did.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
He took slaves, he mutilated, he murdered, and we're gonna
they're gonna say slash and honor him.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
Why does he think like that.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
He was educated in America's anti American education system, and
he thinks like that also because he's a cultural Marxist.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
Who wants to bring this country.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
To its knees, which is so ironic because there he
is an old man who's made tens of millions of
dollars in this country coaching some guys who play a game.
It's not just Greg Popovitch or Greg Popovitch's children, it's
his grandchildren, if he has them, his great grandchildren, his
great great grandchildren.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
Wrap your mind around this.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
In a time of inflation where you have to go
make business decisions in the grocery tree store, should we
get the stay, should we get the chicken?

Speaker 2 (05:02):
Greg Popovich's great great great.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
Grandchildren, We'll never have to worry about a dime. And
he feels totally comfortable sitting there and taking a crap
on this country. That's, by the way, why I don't
watch any professional sports anymore. A bunch of ungrateful, spoiled babies.
But there's something else you should understand. There is a
purpose behind it, a purpose behind it. We talked about

(05:28):
this before, it's important to talk about it again, so
we always understand. If I show up to your home tonight, Hey, Bob, Mary,
I would like to come in and I want to
burn your house to the ground, you would say, uh no,
slam the door in my face, maybe call the cops,

(05:49):
maybe pull a gun on me.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
But that's how that would go. So I can't do that.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
If my goal is to burn down your home, I
have to go about it a different way. Now, why
wouldn't you let burn down your home? Let's focus on
that for a moment. Because you're moored to your home.
You're anchored to your home. There are memories in there.
A living rooms where you watch the kids open presence,
the kitchens where your wife makes cookies at nights. You

(06:15):
have all these memories in your home. So what do
I have to do. I want to burn your home down.
I got to burn it down.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
What do I have to do? I have to make
you hate your home.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
I don't show up with a match in gasoline and
try to burn down your home.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
I show up with a smile and say, hey man, great,
you mind if I come in? Got an extra cookie
for me? Oh? Cool? Ooh?

Speaker 1 (06:37):
Ouch, stuff my tail. I didn't realize you had a
corner that sticks out there. Oh you got those pictures
up on the wall. Oh that was Grandpa.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
I heard he was a racist and had slowly but surely.
You have to unmore people from their.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
Home if you want to burn it down.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
Why is there an endless attack on American history from within?
Because they want to destroy the country. You don't want
them to destroy the country. You're in the way, so
they have to try to ruin the country in your eyes.
So you'll step out of the way and let them
step in with gasoline and a match. That's why you

(07:14):
see what you see.
