Speaker 1 (00:11):
You're listening to the Fuck Sexton Show podcast, make sure
you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app or
wherever you get your podcasts. Hey guys, welcome to the
buck Brief. By popular request demand, Really, Matthew Marsden is back.
He is the host of The Matthew Morrisden Show. It's YouTube,
it's podcast, and people love his cool accent and the

(00:32):
fact that he has so many kids. I can never
remember was it nine is nine? Right?

Speaker 2 (00:36):
I have nine kids?

Speaker 1 (00:37):
Nine kids, so cool accent, nine kids, and was in
Black Hawk Down. It's got a lot of fun things,
a lot of fun stats to throw out there. But
you know, your guy comes from a Hollywood background. I
mentioned Black Hawk Down, which you know is still by
some of the guys I know from the special operations community.
They say the most realistic special office movie ever made
in their minds. So I think that's always quite a

(00:59):
quite a calling card for a film. Tell me this
the Diddy Parties and the whole Diddy situation. You know,
I grew up in New York's and my sort of
formative years, like my teenage years, did he was this phenomenon?
And I remember being like, why he cannot sing, he

(01:21):
can't he cannot dance. He is not a musician, he
is not even a good rapper. But he is worth
hundreds of millions of dollars and has been held up
as some kind of cultural icon. There's photos of them,
you know, whether the Clintons, the Obama's Oprah, I mean,
you know everybody, you know, the Vanity Fair, Vogue. I

(01:41):
mean they all suck up to Diddy and this guy
has been a lunatic degenerate for decades. Like, what how
does this happen?

Speaker 2 (01:53):
Well? I think, you know, like most things in Hollywood,
do you have enablers? Right? Everyone wants to go to
the parties, or should I say people don't want to
miss out on the parties whatever they might whatever they
might be. And you know, I had this experience, not
a Diddy experience, but I had an experience when I
was invited to a pre oscar party. It was actually

(02:13):
the Oscars, the black Hawk Down was nominated in and
that was when, you know, my career was really really skyrocketing.
And I got invited to this party. It was really
strange because like everybody who was everybody was there, Like
all the A listers were there, and the deals are
done there. That's where the deals are done. Right. So

(02:37):
for example, I had just gone in on a television
show and I met with the show runner and you know,
for those who don't know, the show runners basically the
shot caller on a television show, and the producer came
up to me. I'd met them the day before. The
producer came up to me at the party and he said, hey, Mat,
I'm just going to tell you didn't get the role.
And I was like, great, thanks for you know, making

(02:59):
my party, you know, getting off to a good foot
on my party, like I'm going to now. I was
going to have it, can have a good time now,
I'm gonna have a drink and commiserate. But he said, no, no,
the show was canceled today and so I got that
before the news, before anybody else. And I looked around

(03:21):
at all these different people there, and literally what happens
is they meet, they go hey, I'm doing this movie.
I think you'd be great for it, blah blah blah blah,
and then boom, this happens. So you have you have
a kind of a confluence of interests, right, because as
you saw in these parties, everybody goes to them. And
you know, one of the reasons why I've always said

(03:43):
this that you know, for myself as a British actor,
like there's a filter system that you have to go
through it, right, So you normally you'll go to drama
school or college or whatever to do drama. Then you'll
get into theater, then you'll get into television, then you'll
get into movies. Then you're getting to Hollywood movies. That
that's kind of the progression up. But why is it

(04:04):
that so many people in America can just walk off
the streets and become giant stars for no apparent reason.
And actually a lot of the times were no discernible talent.
And I think we're seeing.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
Some of why that is. I mean, there are some people,
I'll just jump in on this. There were people in
the era of Harvey Weinstein's extremely powerful influence in film
at the highest levels in America, like late nineties right
early two thousands. There are people who you're like, why
is this person women? Why is she getting all these parts? Yeah,

(04:38):
she's getting all these but there's a lot I mean,
it's super hard to make it in Hollywood. She's getting
all these roles interesting and all of a sudden.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
Yeah, I mean one of the things that I mean,
everybody knew in Hollywood. Everybody knew what was going on
with Harvey Weinstein. If you wanted to get an oscar,
there were rumors, you know, if you wanted an oscar
run as a female, you know, certainly Harvey Weinstein was
probably the most powerful person when it came to the

(05:08):
Academy Awards and no in the back roads to it
should I say, and by that I mean like you know,
how to grease the wheels, what production's gonna be nominated
for an oscar? Because and people need to know that.
You know, oscars have been political for a long time,
and not just by the who has been getting the oscars.

(05:29):
But if you look, I think it was when Obama
was in there was a movie called Amor and Amore
was dying on the vine right nobody had gone to
see it, and then all of a sudden, in the
year that Obama was pushing out Obamacare, this movie about
euthanasia came out, which is kind of kind of very
in timing. But everyone knew that if you wanted to

(05:51):
get an oscar, you go to Harvey Weinstein. So when
all that happened. All I thought was, who did he
piss off? Right, Like, who did he eventually piss off
that they decided to throw him under the bus other people.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
So, so you've you've been in these Hollywood circles. Diddy's
a little It's obviously music, but he was kind of
a cultural phenomenon in the hip hop world that extended far.
The guy had a had sewn John clothing, He had
sak vodka. I never thought it was very good, but whatever.
He was a big deal, made hundreds of millions of dollars.

(06:28):
And now everyone's like, I didn't go to ditty parties.
I don't even know what was going on. Did everybody
who was famous and powerful in Diddy's orbit, in Sean
Combs's orbit know that bad stuff was happening. I'm not
asking for the specifics because no one can really know,
but did they know that he was doing bad things?

Speaker 2 (06:46):
I don't think so. I know it's probably an unpopular
thing to say, but I remember, you know, being not
in those circles, but you know I was, I was around.
I was certainly, you know, after Black Hawk Down came out,
because it was so successful in the movies, afterwards. I
never heard anything of that. You certainly heard rumors about

(07:08):
about Harvey Weinstein, but I never really heard anything weird
about You hadn't heard anywhere.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
I mean P Diddy was was involved in a shooting.
He beat somebody with a wine bottle. I don't know.
Maybe maybe the music and the acting world didn't have
as much crossed over as I would think in this regard.
He probably should have been arrested many times over stretching
back for about twenty years now, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
I mean, I mean I was talking about the weirdo stuff.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
Oh, the weirdo sex party stuff.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
Yeah, yeah, I never I never heard that. I mean, look,
I mean we well, I certainly grew up in that
era where it was NWA and and then you know,
you move into the two Park and whatever and all
that was going down. I mean, yeah, you know there
were rumors and Shuge Knight and all that there was.
Certainly it was it was a very strange time actually

(07:53):
to come into Hollywood, because when I came in, I
first signed with a company that was managed by a
music guy who was he was he was a manager
of I think back in the day, I mean certainly
was Mariah Carey and was a manager of a few
other big stars j Low actually, and I met her

(08:16):
at the Oscars at the Oscar party in nineteen sorry,
two thousand and one. So but I mean, I'd never
really been sucked into that world, you know what I mean.
I don't know if I gave off those kind of
vibes that I wasn't down with it, but I mean, listener,
I certainly had certain phone calls that were like, hey,

(08:37):
so and so wants to meet you, and I was like, oh, now,
you know what I mean, My spider's sense went off,
But that's just not to get itself into a compromising
situation that you might come back to bite you. But
I mean, yeah, of course I heard about the violence,
but it was always a little bit puzzling to me
because you look at someone like Prince, for example, who

(09:00):
was a musical genius, and you go, well, of course
that's where he is, and then you look up Puff
Daddy and you're kind of like, well, I don't understand this.
And what a lot of people have to on standbuck
is is that he is an industry, right, Each one
of these individuals are actual industries that thousands of people
rely on. To pay their wages, to pay their jobs, right,

(09:20):
So I'm sure there was a lot of that looking
away and I don't want to see it, but I look,
I never so much as went to the Playboy mansion,
So I mean, that looks like super tame, now, doesn't it,
in comparison to what we find out.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
I think it was a thousand bottles of baby oil
they found at his house here in Miami where I am,
A thousand bottles of.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
They have nine kids. I don't even have that many
bottles of baby oil.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
That's a good point. That's a lot of baby oil.
All right, We're to come back, babies. We're going to
come back and talk talk elections and presidents and more
here in a second. But you know, for years now,
I've worked with friends at Stansbury Research, who does some
of the best financial research out there. They've just produced
an insightful new report. It's about how across America strange
so called accidents are happening. We've seen reports of I'm

(10:10):
on one call centers going offline, red reports of a
plane falling apart mid flight. One of the big reveals
was the number of train accidents last year, some forty
seven hundred in all. So why is this all happening?
Learn why so many big accidents are taking place in
America and where and when the next big accident is
most likely to occur. Go to America disaster dot com
for the full story. America disaster dot com get the

(10:32):
full story on America's next big accident. How to protect you,
your family, and your money. Mister Matthew Marsden, let's get into,
you know, Kamala Harris's campaign. I don't think anyone's ever
seen anything like this before. A campaign where the idea
is to hide the person running from public scrutiny as

(10:53):
much as possible and hope that nobody notices. That's a
tough one in the twenty four to seven news cycle
to pull off.

Speaker 2 (10:59):
Well, they managed to do it last time, didn't they.
But I don't think they had COVID.

Speaker 1 (11:06):
Yeah, this time they don't have COVID. Yep.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
Yeah. It's been very range, you know, to watch you know,
them going from having big stadiums full of people, don't
really that doesn't matter, to going look at us, we
have stadium fulls, you know, stadiums full of people. It
really matters, you know, I mean it is it is
such a transparently disingenuous campaign that anyone who's half switched

(11:32):
on can see that they are in absolute disarray. I mean,
she's probably one of the most unlikable people you could
ever run. I mean, is is this the best that
we have?

Speaker 1 (11:45):
And fifty million people and we have somebody who even
the people who want her to be president know we
can't let her talk too much or no one's going
to vote for her.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
Wow. I mean, she's I mean, she's not only unlikable,
but she's just stupid. She's a very, very.

Speaker 1 (12:04):
Not a smart person. That is true.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
It's actually challenged individual.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
I gotta I gotta ask you this, are are politicians?
Do you have politicians in the UK that you feel
like are as dumbs? Because Americans think you guys, because
your fancy accents are are are a little smarter than
I think generally generally a lot of people in Britain are.
I'm just saying, you know they hear a fancy accent,
you know, they're like, oh, listen to this broadcasta who

(12:30):
has a fancy accent on the whole thing, and then
they all are your politicians as dumb as ours? Because
ours are really setting some new records here with and
I mean at the top level. I don't mean random ones,
I mean like the ones running things.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
Yeah, I mean I think they are. Now there's a
couple of people that are like, you know, completely stupid,
Like the was I kind of remember, I was going
to say vice president, but the whatever her name is,
I can't remember her name now. But Kirs Starmer is
not very smart either. I mean I think that they're
they're enabled to be bold in their corruption. I think

(13:06):
that's part of the issue with the British politician. Historically
they've been pretty smart, I have to say, but then
they don't really have to argue about very extreme issues
like Americans do. So for example, it might come a
shock as a shock to Americans, but abortion is not
on the platform in the UK, like they don't even

(13:29):
talk about it at all. So things are pretty much,
you know, kind of left. You can be in the middle,
you go a little bit to the left, you go
a little bit to the right, and that's the way
it's been for years until this one. And then they
just went, you know, we're going to arrest you and
throw you in jail for doing memes, which is which
has been staggering, but it seems to be that in

(13:52):
America now, you've just got to be corrupt enough, right.
That's why it's really down to, right, like if you
can be manipulated enough. And Biden, because he's a complete
you know, robot, is the.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
Presidential poorly functioning robot. The circuits are not really connecting
as much as they used is terrible.

Speaker 2 (14:13):
But at least she can like point him in one
direction and go and say this, and he's not really connecting.
And Kamala Harris, on the other hand, is a completely
empty vessel. She doesn't stand for anything. She doesn't have
any morals clearly, and she doesn't have any stances on anything.
So you know, you can blow her. I shouldn't really
say that, right, but I'm just saying, whichever way the

(14:34):
wind blows, she will go. And we've seen this flip.
But at least before they would make their candidates kind
of charismatic and likable or handsome or good looking, and
she's none of those.

Speaker 1 (14:48):
Yeah, it's well. I think Democrats knew they got caught
with their pants down, so to speak here, because they
really thought that Joe Biden was going to I thought
that Joe Biden was going to be able to make
it through. And then you know, they didn't allow for
a real primary. They didn't allow for the things that
would need to be in place here to have a
better candidate. But we'll come back. Let's talk about how

(15:10):
Democrats feel about political violence in a second. Here we'll
get to that. Do yourself a favor though, of protecting
your hard earned money for retirement by putting a portion
of it in gold, Because the value of your dollars
is going down over time, Inflation is going to keep happening.
It's government over spending. Having a portion of your savings
invested in gold is a good thing. While the spending

(15:30):
power of your saved dollars has only gone down, the
value of gold that you may have had for years
now has only gone up. Purchasing an owning gold and
or silver is easier than you'd think. You can rely
on the Birch Gold Group. That's the company we trust
to handle your gold and silver purchases. Birch Gold makes
it understandable and easier than ever to purchase physical gold
that you can hold on to in your home. And likewise,
it's just as easy to purchase gold and put it

(15:52):
into your four oh one k or tax sheltered IRA.
More Americans than ever now own gold or silver. For
those that purchase precious metals over last year, they've done well.
Our friends at Birch Gold are ready to help. Text

(16:13):
to ninety eight ninety eight ninety eight. You see that
about a third of Democrats are in favor, according to
polls recently, in favor of violence against President Trump. You
know this is how but I think that we've just
been gathering towards this recognition for a while, right, Matthew,
because of course, to Trump arrangement syndrome. If he's going

(16:34):
to destroy the country and he's a fascist and he's hitler,
people are going to start to think really ugly things
about what they should do to him.

Speaker 3 (16:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (16:41):
I mean, the left is absolutely brilliant when it comes
to commandeering the language. And I've certainly been saying, ih
know yah for a long time is you have to
be very careful when people start talking about someone being
a Nazi or a white supremacist or a fascist, because
all those things are evil and you are allowed to

(17:02):
do drastic things to prevent evil. It doesn't matter that
it's not true. But they've they've cranked the rhetoric up
to eleven as a spinal tap reference mm hm. And
now we're surprised. But it's not just him, it's us
as well. It's you know, he's I always said it,
arv and Ava. He's just in the way. And part

(17:23):
of the issue is because these kids never got smacked
in the mouth when they were younger, so they don't
know what that violence really is, what it really means.
They've been desensitized from what will happen to them should
they do this. Their their their cosplaying their way through life,

(17:46):
and that's a huge problem.

Speaker 1 (17:49):
Yeah, I think that their whole political framework is delusional,
but so is there a view of of day to
day life and their role in it, and also their
sense of their own bravery for taking positions that have
always been the consensus position around them. I mean, I
think that leftists have a real problem with with facing

(18:10):
reality as it can be seen by those who do
not have some disconnect. I know I'm turrending towards what
is it? Michael Savage, You just always say that liberalism
is a mental disease or mental disorder. I mean, I
think Trump's arrangement syndrome is some kind of anxiety disorder.
I mean, it is some kind of of a psychosis.
It really is a psychosis, you know.

Speaker 2 (18:32):
I think when you have an absence of a god
for the most part, it's not all the time, but
when you have an absence of God, you create them.
And we've seen this with the way that the left
treated Biden. For example, I had an argument today on
social media, which is always a smart thing to.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
Do at this as lowers your blood pressure. By the way,
it's very satisfying, calms you down. Arguing with Rando's on
social media. It's going to make you feel great.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
About themes, like Mike six, fy four, three, two, ten,
nine to eight. You know it really and it serves
a great purpose. But you know, sometimes you just can't
help yourself. But the way that they spoke about Biden
is it's very strange because they would say he's the
greatest president in our lifetime, which is obviously ridiculous, and

(19:25):
throwing their other God Obama under the bus right, and
now they're like, no, no, no, we knew that he
was incognitive, did decline? Well, did you really? Because five
seconds ago he was the greatest ever and he was
going to beat Trump. So they can't even keep their
stories straight when they have nothing else in their lives
and the majority of them don't have family, they don't

(19:46):
have children, they don't value their country. So they're latching
onto the cult of personality. And that's what the Democrats
are betting on for the election, because you've seen it
over and over. If you're going to stop the average
person in the street, you ask them what they believe,
what the platform is, they can't tell you. In fact,

(20:06):
she can't tell you. She doesn't even know. Kamala doesn't
even know what a platform is. So I think it's
certainly is we are looking at a at a massive
amount of in all seriousness, bucket like it's mental illness.
This is a major.

Speaker 1 (20:20):
Problem well after COVID. I also think that everyone needs
to understand that there are there are tens of millions
of Americans who are able to be completely brainwashed and
become entirely delusional because the system tells them something and
they will just believe it, and they will also become
vicious to their neighbors and to people that they know

(20:43):
over total nonsense, just nonsense, whether it.

Speaker 2 (20:47):
Yeah, because because I think that we've become very soft,
and I think that we don't have anything, people aren't
challenged really. I mean, all right, the price of eggs
has gone up a little bit. For the people that
are lowered down on the Democratic side that are getting
the handouts, they don't really feel it. And so these
people which are mainly in affluent areas, you know, you

(21:10):
you almost always see these activists at these ivy league colleges.
They're all from you know, upper middle class backgrounds that
have never really had to sacrifice anything in their lives.
So they they're just too comfortable. They don't understand what
could really happen, you know. For the gen x's, I

(21:31):
think we're kind of like one of the last, you know,
groups of people to come through that. Actually I remember
being under the threat of nuclear war and we were like, okay,
well let's listen to the charts this weekend. Because you
just got on with it. And and there are certain people,
people that were in the in the military that you know,

(21:52):
gave served the country. They understand what it's like to
be uncomfortable. These people don't. They don't that they they
don't know what it's like to do without. And that's
very worrying. And I think, like I said, they say,
what harsh times create hard men, right, and and we're

(22:13):
definitely in a time where we have very soft people.

Speaker 1 (22:17):
Right. Hard times created hard men. Soft times create soft men.
Soft men create hard times. That goes in the in
the cycle it goes. Did you see you see the NPR,
a bunch of guys who work for National Public Radio,
you know, which is kind of like a less prestigious
version of the BBC here right uh State broadcasting. You

(22:38):
see that they had their testosterone check and these were
guys who were I think were like my age and younger,
maybe they're in their thirties, and their testosterone was like seventy.
I mean it was like it was like crazy numbers,
crazy numbers.

Speaker 2 (22:50):
I mean, I'm not surprised. And all the ones that
all the time when people talk about violence and they
want to be violent, they want to be this. You
look at them and I'm like.

Speaker 1 (22:59):
No, what they want is state violence. They want state
violence on their behalf. Actually that's really what they want.
They want men with guns and the power of the
state behind them to beat you with truncheons and make
you do things or else. They don't want to get
their hands dirty themselves usually. I mean you see like
these Antifa lunatics. Every guy who's an Antifa weighs about

(23:22):
one hundred and twenty pounds and looks like he could
bench a solid thirty thirty five pounds. It's a joke,
it's preposterous. But you know they're running around like, well,
he's stopping fascism, Like, no, you're not. Actually you're not
stopping fashion.

Speaker 2 (23:34):
Yeah, no, you're just stopping your testosterone. I mean, you
saw when the Proud Boys like actually went up and
confronted them, they just collapsed. I mean, it was it
was absolute joke. But you know, you know again, this
is a serious thing. I mean, you know, we can
joke about it because it's so absurd, but I think
that this the squeaky wheel gets the oil, and we're

(23:56):
seeing that over and over and unfortunately, you have mainly
conservatives right that are out there working. They've got decent jobs.
They don't have time for all this political activism. And Shenanigan's.
But the problem is is that now we're in a
situation where we're in a dire place. So people are

(24:16):
going to have to really stop and say, hang on
a second, what's the point in doing all this if
I don't have a country and that's where we are.
I mean, to me, it's really really clear. I'm seeing
it on a daily basis, and people are really struggling.
They're frustrated, they're angry, and we don't really have anyone certainly.

(24:37):
I mean if Kamala and the showboat guy, you know,
he's like he does musicals, right, That's what he looks
like to me, he's.

Speaker 3 (24:46):
Going to go hello, Yeah, it was is going to
be like you know, when gets sworn in, he's going
to be like hello everybody.

Speaker 2 (24:58):
It's like he did a music theater major. Not he
wasn't a sergeant major. It's a music theater major.

Speaker 1 (25:03):
I mean he does. He does look like if you
keep saying mean things about him, Matthew, he's going to
complain to his wife's boyfriend and he's going to threaten
beat you up. So there you go. Hold on one second.
I want to give you a final call out here,
but first, our sponsor IFCJ. If you've been paying attention
to the headlines, you all see it. What's going on
in Israel right now, possibility of an incursion into Lebanon

(25:26):
to fight Hesbelah because Hesbela is firing rockets still into Israel.
This is a time when Israel's allies need to stand
with the Israeli people. For more than forty years, the
IFCJ has been on the ground in Israel. Within hours
of the attacks by Hamas soldiers last October and every
day since. IFCJ has been feeding the hungry and protecting
the vulnerable. Support IFCJ join them in this mission. Go

(25:49):
to SUPPORTIFCJ dot org. That support IFCJ dot org. Matthew
always so great to have you on the show man,
Thank you for being here. Where can people go to
follow your work and you know, just keep you in
the fight.

Speaker 2 (26:02):
All right. Please go to Matthew at Matthew D. Marsden
both on YouTube and on Twitter. That would be awesome.
Thank you everyone, and actually on Instagram if you like that.
If that froach your.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
