SPEAKER_01 (00:00):
Howdy, Ben.
How are you today?
I am doing much better than Iwas Thursday, Gene.
Thursday was rough.

SPEAKER_02 (00:07):
Yeah.
Yeah.
I I kind of I got your messageabout being awake since 4 a.m.

SPEAKER_01 (00:12):
and I figured, yeah, you're gonna sleep.
No, no, no.
3 a.m.

SPEAKER_02 (00:16):
Oh, I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_01 (00:17):
Yeah.
I and and I couldn't fall asleeptill like midnight.
And then I had to get on aplane.
I had to get up at 3 a.m.
to get ready, get everythingpacked, get out the door for a 6
a.m.
flight so I could then make itback to Texas and drive up to be
at my son's school in time to doa boat launch.
Ooh, a boat lunch.

(00:38):
Yeah, just the little modelboats that we uh all the dads
and kids made.
Oh, nice, fun.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (00:45):
Well, I made it.
Well, that's good.
That's certainly a good reasonfor delaying when we record,
which is not that big a deal.
We've done that plenty of timesin the past.

SPEAKER_01 (00:55):
Yeah.
So anyway, needless to say, comeseven o'clock, I was not
conscious.

SPEAKER_02 (01:02):
You were pretty fried.
Yeah, I figured as much.
Not a problem.

SPEAKER_01 (01:06):
Oh man.
Talk about slow newsweek.
Has it been?
No, it's actually been prettyphenomenal.

SPEAKER_02 (01:16):
I mean, I've I've had I I will admit I'm a bit off
the news cycle simply becauseBattlefield came out last week.
Battlefield 6.
And Battlefield is back.
This is old school Battlefieldfeel for anybody that remembers
back before they kind of screwedit up for a while there.

(01:39):
The game is fantastic.
The uh there's a lot of peoplemaking videos about it, and it
really does feel likeBattlefield did a decade ago.

SPEAKER_01 (01:54):
Okay, cool.
It's been a long time since I'veplayed Battlefield.
In fact, it might have been thelast Battlefield I played, might
have been 1942.

SPEAKER_02 (02:02):
The original one?
Yeah.
Or the remake.
Battlefield 42 was kind of aremake of the original 1942.

SPEAKER_01 (02:08):
Right, right.
But the that that Xbox 360 orXbox version, whichever it was,
I think that was probably thelast version I played.

SPEAKER_02 (02:17):
Okay.
Okay.
So you didn't play the Vietnamone?
No.
Didn't play Bad CompanyBattlefield?
Nope.
Nope.
Bad Company, I think for mostpeople, kind of stands out as
the best battlefield, or BadCompany 2, actually.
Because that was the the firstbad company, which is I think
the third game in the series,was when they first introduced
destruction into theenvironments.

(02:39):
Because in every previous game,you could shoot rocket launchers
at a building, and to it'll killpeople inside, but the building
doesn't change at all.
And in bad company, theyintroduced this new destructible
mechanic.
And so all of a sudden,buildings started taking damage.

(03:02):
Not just cars and vehicles andthings and tanks, planes, but
actual buildings started takingdamage.
So that greatly affects your useof that building during
gameplay.
And this current version, ofcourse, now is it I think Bad
Company came out in 2006 orseven.

(03:24):
So like 13 years, no, 20 yearsago, almost 19 years ago.
Damn long time ago.
And uh that was that was kind ofthe start of this more modern
phase of all games, which not Imean not all, but a lot of games

(03:46):
now do incorporate destructibleelements into gameplay.
Where and before that, very thatwell, there were none, in fact.
I don't I think they were thefirst company to really make
destructible environments likethat.
Cool.
Yeah, so been playing way toomuch of that lately.

SPEAKER_01 (04:04):
Well, speaking of video games in real life, did
you see what happened inAlexandria, Virginia?

SPEAKER_02 (04:09):
No, what happened there?

SPEAKER_01 (04:11):
Three masked men in Halloween masks tried to break
into a home front and back.

SPEAKER_02 (04:16):
So I saw a headline on that, but I didn't watch any
video.
I assume there was a ring video.

SPEAKER_01 (04:22):
Oh, yeah, there's a ring video, and it's very
creepy.
And Collian Noir did a fuckinghilarious spiff off of it.
He's like, wait, wait, onesecond, I'll be right there.
Well, as he's putting thecolour, I thought you didn't
like the I like Colin.
I I would I'm not a huge fan,but dude, this was funny.
Okay.
Like, I think he's too he hehe's too much of a sportsman and

(04:49):
not really worried about theprinciple of the second
amendment as much.

SPEAKER_02 (04:53):
So well, I mean, he's a lawyer, he's does a lot
of gun lawsuits.
He uh uh he was on the NRE localTexas board for a while.

SPEAKER_01 (05:06):
Yeah, but NRA, need I say more anyway.
These the three guys in creepyHalloween masks tried to break
in front and back of theproperty.
Right.
They're in Alexandria, Virginia,which is not a low-rent place.
No, no, and uh they got away.

(05:28):
It took the cops over 15 minutesto get there.

SPEAKER_02 (05:32):
Well, yeah, because the cops always get there after
something happens, not during.

SPEAKER_01 (05:37):
Oh, yeah, yeah.
But my point is, this isVirginia, which is a
stand-your-ground state, andquite frankly, my understanding
of the Virginia law, not alawyer, not legal advice, is
that the homeowner who says shewas armed could have shot them.
Should my mind should haveexactly I agree, at least pop
one in the you saw that video ofthe Florida sheriff talking

(06:00):
about that you know, it we can'talways get there in time.

SPEAKER_02 (06:06):
In fact, we usually can't.
So we advise our residents totake handgun classes so that
they can aim better and take thefirst necessary steps to protect
themselves.
I love that attitude in thesheriff.
That unfortunately, that's arare attitude.
Most cops would prefer thatcivilians stay disarmed.

SPEAKER_01 (06:24):
Well, the Alexandria police chief did come out and
say that A, she could have takendefensive action and B, that
that they are taking thisseriously.
And so we'll see.

SPEAKER_02 (06:35):
Imagine if this happened in Maryland.
Oh, you the homeowner willprobably be arrested.
Arrested for calling the cops.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
For for trying to, you know,protect her home by calling the
police because they believe thatif somebody wants to rob you,
you should just let them.
More or less.

SPEAKER_01 (06:56):
Like in Maryland, you have a it's a duty to
retreat state.

SPEAKER_02 (07:00):
Yeah, yeah, it's a cucked attitude.
Like their their response toincitement of violence is to
encourage that violence bycomplying with it.
The only way that you reducesexual crime is if more
criminals die in the process ofcommitting a crime, you raise

(07:23):
the cost of doing the crime.
Well, yeah, you you not everycriminal is insane, and the ones
that aren't insane are stillmaking value judgments.
And when the cost of doing thecrime, like it is in San
Francisco, for example, isactually positive, meaning if
you go into an Apple store, youcan steal all the shit you want,

(07:46):
no one will stop you, or anystore.
I mean, cosmetic I've seen likegangs women, all of a certain
race, going into a cosmetic shopand filling up garbage bags full
of expected expensive cosmeticsin San Francisco, and everyone's
just standing walking aroundwith their phones filming it,

(08:07):
but no one's doing anythingabout it.
Because they've been told do notresist, because if you resist
and you get yourself hurt, it'syour fault.
That's the attitude.
The real victims are thecriminals.

SPEAKER_01 (08:22):
Well, what I think should be everyone's takeaway
from this is prepareaccordingly, right?
Because I guarantee you, ifsomeone showed up at my house
and was doing what they weredoing, I would have been pulling
the collier noir.
I would have thrown on bodyarmor, I would have grabbed my

(08:44):
probably my Tavor or my PDW, andyeah.

SPEAKER_02 (08:51):
Yeah, absolutely.
That's yeah, I I'd stillprobably go with the shotgun
myself.
You don't you just need to worryabout the aim a lot less with
those things.

SPEAKER_01 (09:05):
Fair enough.
And you can also have more youknow c collateral damage.

SPEAKER_02 (09:11):
To your house, maybe, but less to your
neighbor's house.
I mean that's the beauty, isit's it's a limited range
weapon.
Yeah.
Versus the putting the greentips in my AR to self-defense
could end up going through acouple neighbors' houses.

SPEAKER_01 (09:28):
Well, regardless, it's interesting.
And then we had Trump have totake the short stairs.
Uh where's this?
On Air Force One.
Oh, really?
Why?
As an increased securitymeasure.
Oh, okay.
Because apparently a huntingblind had been set up near the
area.

(09:49):
Jesus.
Well.
Now, whether or not this wasjust a hunter not knowing
anything or someone, you know, Imean, it it's near an Air Force
base.
It doesn't seem like it would bea hunter, you know?

SPEAKER_02 (10:03):
Yeah.
Yeah, that seems peculiar.

SPEAKER_01 (10:09):
Yeah.
Anyway, we've got some crazyshenanigans going on now.

SPEAKER_02 (10:14):
Good.
No, here's a story you probablyhaven't heard of because it's
more on in the YouTube or Twitcharena.
But one of the, in my opinion,most attractive, but uh let's
just say one of the most popularTwitch streamers was at
TwitchCon and got assaulted.
And she goes into great detailin a stream she did afterwards

(10:42):
talking about how Twitch hasdone nothing to protect people
at TwitchCon from you know,certainly in in light of what's
happened with Charlie Kirk, butit doesn't have to be political,
right?
It can be just somebody who'sreally angry.
A deranged fan, yeah.
Yeah, it could be a fan, or itcould be a fan of somebody else

(11:05):
who's out to get you becausethey don't like you because
they're a fan of a differentchannel, and that there's like
zero security at this thing.
So this this dude approachedthis like five foot five Asian
chick and uh grabbed her head,and it looked like he was
holding a knife, but turned outnot to be a knife, but it's what

(11:27):
it kind of looked like to me.

SPEAKER_01 (11:29):
And I didn't see the video of the incident, I just
heard her spiel about it.

SPEAKER_02 (11:33):
Right, right.
And you know, she screamed, shehad the personal bodyguard
there, thankfully, because thethe security, quote unquote, at
the event didn't even noticeanything was happening, and then
only after hearing about it,kind of said, Well, you know,
we're glad she's okay.

(11:54):
I guess nothing really happened.
I mean, it was a completefailure, and this is she she's
considered one of the biggestfemale streamer and streamers on
Twitch.
They make a lot of money offher.
They probably twitch probablymakes about 10 million a year
off her, and they completelyneglected to do their jobs, and

(12:15):
her whole point is like, youknow, I can afford a personal
bodyguard, most streamers can't,which was actually a really good
point that she made.
Yeah, and the other thing isthey banned TwitchCon banned her
previous bodyguard last year atthe event or after the event,
because at that event, somebodyalso tried to attack her, and

(12:39):
the bodyguard grabbed the personand held him for 15 minutes
until the cops showed up.
Yeah, and Twitch said that'sunacceptable.
We can't have somebody, youknow, acting like they're the
police, even though they're notthe police, and ban that person
from ever coming to an event inany capacity.

SPEAKER_01 (12:57):
Well, and to me, the most egregious thing was that
they only banned the guy whowent up there and kissed her,
tried to kiss her for 30 days.

SPEAKER_02 (13:07):
30 days, man.
You can't be on Twitch for 30days.
Like, what the fuck kind ofresponse is that?

SPEAKER_01 (13:13):
Like any other company.
So much so much of the rest ofit is like, you know, hey, it's
an event, come at your own risk,whatever.
Yeah, yeah.
You know, there's some of that.

SPEAKER_02 (13:23):
But it it should be if you're just coming at to an
event, like if you go to a StarTrek convention or something as
a fan, yeah, there's certainrisks.
But if you're there as WilliamShatner, you better make sure
the event's paying for top-notchsecurity for you.
And if some fan is deranged,that they're gonna tackle them
before they ever come close toyou.

(13:44):
Yeah, you know, that she is theequivalent of the kirk at a Star
Trek convention, and it isabsolutely crazy that they just
don't care about people that aregenerating literally millions
for the company.
Because you know, Twitch takeshalf.
Every donation you make to aTwitcher, Twitch person,

(14:04):
whatever you call them, theirTwitch takes half of that.

SPEAKER_01 (14:10):
Which is just crazy.
I mean, YouTube doesn't eventake that much, do they?

SPEAKER_02 (14:14):
No, no, YouTube doesn't take that much.
They are like a third, right?
They take a yeah, they takethree 35%, I believe.
And then like if you're onwhatchamacallit, what's the
other platform?
The one that you signed up forpremium on.
X?
Rumble?
Yeah, Rumble.
If you're on Rumble, Rumbletakes 10%.

SPEAKER_01 (14:35):
Why the fuck isn't everybody on Rumble?

SPEAKER_02 (14:37):
Well, because it's it, I don't know.
It it kind of got all thepolitical people moving there,
but it didn't get the gamersmoving there for some reason.
I I stream on Rumble as wellwhen I stream gaming stuff.
Nobody watches ever becausepeople don't know to go there
for gaming content.
It's a chicken and egg thing,right?

(14:58):
Because people that arestreaming want to have an
audience that's already on theplatform, so that your only job
is to get them to come to yourchannel.
But with Rumble, like you firsthave to get them to go watch
Rumble, then to go to yourchannel.
So maybe it'll happen, but itlooks like Kick is the platform

(15:20):
that is a direct competitor toTwitch and has been kicking
their ass lately.
And while I wouldn't say it's aconservative platform by any
stretch, I'd say kick is verymuch a centrist middle of the
road platform that'll takeanybody.
Whereas Twitch has been movingmore and more along with the
Democrat Party towards thecraziest left side of the

(15:44):
equation, like they'll bansomebody for fat shaming for 30
days, or they'll ban somebodyfor assaulting a girl for 30
days, but they won't bansomebody that is literally
saying go kill all Jews.
Like those people can be ontheir platform with nothing, no
restrictions of any kind.
Well, I mean, that seemsreasonable.

(16:06):
Uh-huh.
Exactly.
Your kind of platform.
It's an it is crazy.
Well, don't forget theChristians are right there
behind them.
The Jews are first, theChristian, but the Jews are
tiny.
It's uh they're gonna go afterall the Christians after that.
It's uh what I'm referring to isHassan Piker, who's a total
Islamist radical and one of thebiggest streamers on the

(16:29):
platform, like with the biggestaudience of the way, with the no
king stuff going on.

SPEAKER_01 (16:35):
Did you see the AI video Trump put out?
Yes, that was and Harry'sHarry's sister, or whatever his
name is, literally said, Can areporter ask Trump why he did
this AI video of jumping poop onme?
And did he hand said, I'll askhim, Harry.
Uh-huh.
Like the trolling, the leveltrolling is so good when he

(16:57):
posts huge thank you to all theno kings protesters yesterday.
I was very concerned a king wastrying to take my place, but
thanks to your tireless efforts,I am still your president.

SPEAKER_02 (17:06):
Great job.
I know, it's not awesome.

SPEAKER_01 (17:08):
Oh my god.

SPEAKER_02 (17:10):
And they hate that more than anything.

SPEAKER_01 (17:12):
Oh, god, yes.

SPEAKER_02 (17:13):
You know, because they like they don't realize
they're setting themselves up,and then all of a sudden they're
the butt of the joke, andthey're like, Well, no, no, not
what we meant, not what wemeant.
Yeah, it is hilarious.
Um, do you see the clip of someuh you know new media reporter
type asking Nancy Pelosi if ifabout January 6th?

(17:35):
No, not January 6th, about herstock portfolio, about how you
know now that you're no longerable to uh get insider trading
information, are you concernedthat your stock portfolio is
gonna go down?
And her response the response isyou know, she waving her hands
for her security to get rid ofthese people.

SPEAKER_01 (17:56):
Well, you saw the one where the reporter for Mike
Lindell's TV channel came up andwas asking her about not
accepting the guard on January6th, and she went off on him and
lost it.
Like she had a breakdown, dude.
Didn't see that one.
That's interesting.
Yeah, you you need to watch it.

SPEAKER_02 (18:14):
She she it was complaining too much,
apparently.
I didn't know Mike Lindell didanything other than make
pillows.
Oh my god, he makes a shit tonof stuff, dude.
Well, yes, but I thought Ialways thought he was a you know
seller of things.
You remember when we were rightnext to him at the Trump event?

(18:35):
Sure.
Well, oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
In uh Waco, yes, yeah, in Waco,yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, he's he seems taller inperson.
He's not a short guy, no,because I and the video, I think
they put the camera up higherwhen they shoot his videos
because he doesn't come acrossas a tall guy in video, right?
That was my impression, and youknow, I'm 6'2, so uh maybe in

(19:02):
centimeters.
That's oh 65 that that's not ameasurement anybody would be
proud of, that's for sure.

SPEAKER_01 (19:13):
Oh no, man, but we've had it's it's been quite
the the week.
The Israeli Palestinianceasefire seems to be holding.
No, actually.
No, no, Palestinians areshooting back.
Well, and the Israelis have not,and that was condemned, and they

(19:33):
the Hamas leadership has andthrough the Qataris and
everybody else has said no,we're going to make sure this
works.
So they've run it back already.

SPEAKER_02 (19:41):
Yeah, we'll see how that goes.
I I don't think these things areever meant to work.
So I uh I don't see this butanything but a short-term
short-term ceasefire, ifanything, before aggression
resumes, because the rhetorichas only been ramping up, not

(20:02):
down.

SPEAKER_01 (20:02):
I don't know, man.
I think I think Qatar, UAE, andSaudi want peace.
I think they're really wantingthe new economic zone to be the
Middle East, and that has toinclude Israel.
I think they're more worriedabout the Palestinians in Iran
than they are Israel.

(20:23):
Well I think the Arab nationsare gonna back until the Arab
nations allow Palestinians toimmigrate to them.

SPEAKER_02 (20:32):
Nothing's gonna change.

SPEAKER_01 (20:33):
Well, that's part of this peace deal that Trump has
brokered, is that any member ofHamas who wants to turn in their
guns will be granted will begranted clemency, or however you
want to put it, a pardon, andthen allowed to go to Egypt and
migrate wherever they want togo.
I'm shocked that Egypt wouldaccept that.
Not only Egypt, but so didQatar, UAE, and Saudi.

(20:58):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (20:58):
Well, Saudi Arabia has always been cautiously, you
know, for normalizing relationsbecause they do Saudi Arabia has
had informal relations withIsrael for a damn long time
because they're both U.S.
allies.
And they they are the two U.S.
allies in the Middle East thathave the biggest financial

(21:24):
purchasers of American weapons.

SPEAKER_01 (21:28):
Qataris are up there too.

SPEAKER_02 (21:30):
Compared to Saudi Arabia and Israel, no.

SPEAKER_01 (21:32):
Qataris, UAE, and yeah, they're all big
purchasers.
I mean, the largest base outsideof the US right now is in Qatar.

SPEAKER_02 (21:43):
Well, it might be a US base, but I'm just saying in
terms of purchasing US weaponry,financial spending.
Yeah.
So there have always been, youknow, backroom dealings between
those two.
But the the thing here's whySaudi Arabia is not completely

(22:10):
against Israel is because theydon't like Iran.
And and this is is there havebeen a number of Israeli people
that have said this, and I thinkit's very true is that the only
thing keeping the Middle Easterncountries from all fighting with
each other is a shared hatred ofJews.

(22:31):
If the Israel was not there,Saudi Arabia would be at war
with Iran, and all the other uhyou know, surrounding smaller
countries would all be pickingsides and joining in.

SPEAKER_01 (22:47):
Well, it's interesting though, the so are
you were you were aware of thesecurity arrangement that
Pakistan and UAE have?
So apparently Pakistan, UAE, andSaudi have the UAE and Saudi

(23:08):
have financed a lot of thePakistani nuke arms productions,
and basically for ever so manyof them, they're supposed to
have some set aside for the UAEand Saudi.

SPEAKER_02 (23:22):
Gotcha.

SPEAKER_01 (23:23):
That doesn't surprise me, but I did not know
about that.
Yeah, apparently that has becomeuh a thing.
So that's not dangerous at all.

SPEAKER_02 (23:34):
Well, you may be surprised to hear me say it, but
I don't think it is.
I think a nuclear Saudi Arabiais actually about as safe as a
nuclear Israel.
Like they're not like that's notsaying much.
Nuclear Iran is way moredangerous.

SPEAKER_01 (23:53):
Agreed.
And it's mainly because of theAyatollah's points of view.

SPEAKER_02 (23:58):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Not the Iranian people.
Like, if they got a differentgovernment, if it wasn't uh, you
know, not it could even beauthoritarian, but it just
wouldn't be a religious-basedgovernment, I would not be
saying this.
But I think that Saudi Arabiahas seen the greatest benefits

(24:18):
of trade with the West inturning their shithole desert
into a extremely financiallyrewarding country.

SPEAKER_01 (24:30):
Well, it not just not just Saudi, but like I said,
UAE and Qatar.
But to your point, like m mycompany right now is one of the
major contractors on the newKing Solomon Airport in Riyadh.
So yeah.
That makes sense.

SPEAKER_02 (24:45):
The CA always wants to keep tabs and things.

unknown (24:48):
I'm not Jesus.

SPEAKER_02 (24:50):
I don't know what you're talking about.
Anyway, yeah, I don't know whatyou're talking about.
So the well, I noticed you saidthe company, so I you know, I'm
just I said my company.
Well, I heard the company,that's right.
Jesus anyway, no, your secret'ssafe here, Ben.
The I I think this piece isgonna be temporary.
I don't see this holding any anyamount of time.

(25:15):
There's I also am pretty surethat the US is now funneling
money to Hamas because Hamasisn't gonna get bought off
simply by the destruction ofGaza, they don't care about
Gaza.
What they care about is powerand and the the money that
they've got out flowing in fromother countries.
So for them to basically put astop to that, they have to get a

(25:41):
different funding source, whichis probably the US, which
wouldn't surprise me because theUS has funded literally every
terrorist organization in theMiddle East at some point.
You can argue semantics, butwhether it's the Taliban,
whether it's ISIS, you name it,we fund it.
Oh, agreed.
So well, yeah, maybe that's noteven a con a particularly

(26:04):
controversial point at thispoint.
So the the idea that we're gonnafind out a decade from now that
the US paid off Hamas by a tuneof a billion dollars wouldn't
surprise me at all.

SPEAKER_01 (26:17):
Uh, I mean, I don't know, man.
I I think paying them off is ameans to an end for potential
peace.
You know, I I I think if ifHamas does not work towards
peace really pretty, you know,as an honest broker and

(26:42):
approaching it, you know, inthat way, then the Arab states
are gonna get real pissy realquick.
And you know, part of Trump'speace plan is hey Arab states,
you've got to go in and takecare of this.
If they violate the peaceorders, then you gotta go do it.

SPEAKER_02 (27:01):
Well, and that's that's the only way to do it is
to basically say if SaudiArabia, you don't control Hamas
yourself, we're gonna startputting terrorists on the
airboil.
Yeah, that would get SaudiArabia to instantly create a
mile-long city that all theHamasans can move into and you

(27:25):
know, not be a problem in uhGaza.

SPEAKER_01 (27:29):
Well, I think I think I think I think the Arab
states are bought in, dude.

SPEAKER_02 (27:36):
Yeah.
Well, they're bought in, uh, butI I think they're more bought in
behind closed doors than theyare publicly.
Publicly, they all still have tocondemn Israel for everything.
That's what it says in theQuran.
It's all the Jews fault.
And Jews, by the way, is spelledJ O O O O O S.

(28:01):
It's the Jews! Yeah.
So consequently, you know,people that have a sense of and
I I watched a few videosactually done by Saudi, part of
the Saud family, but like notparticularly high up in the

(28:23):
ranks, that say exactly that.
It's like, look, we have aproblem with certain elements
that misinterpret Islam that aregiving all the rest of us a bad
name and are preventing us fromhaving more cooperation with the
West.
And we, as Muslims, need to fixthis problem because if we

(28:45):
don't, and the West has to fixit.
Well, do you remember whathappened with the Crusades?
Now, I'm all for the Crusadesmyself, I'm a big supporter.

SPEAKER_01 (28:54):
Yeah, well, the the you have to remember the
crusades were not in a vacuum,this was after the Islamic
conqueror, and yeah.
I mean, when you look at whathappened in Greece, like the
Greeks have dark skin todaybecause of African invaders, you
know, before the first crusade.

SPEAKER_02 (29:13):
Yeah, the Greeks were white, yeah, yeah,
absolutely.
Yeah, it's the Romans that weredark-skinned, and in fact, if
you read some old Greek texts,they talk about the the
dark-skinned short people whowere the Romans.
They were shorter and they weredarker skinned than the Greeks.

(29:34):
The Greeks were European beforethere was a European.
Now, certainly there werelighter skinned people, you
know, in in the Celts, but asfar as just Central Europe goes,
the Greeks were absolutelywhite.
The Italians, not so much.
Italy's had a long time ofpeople.

(30:01):
Well, people floating from uhfrom across from Africa.
There was a lot moreintermingling going on.
Like for thousands of years,pre-Roman Empire even, but
certainly during the RomanEmpire when they conquered North
Africa, there was tons ofmingling going on.

SPEAKER_01 (30:18):
Well, we'll see if this ceasefire holds at all.
And uh, you know, if so, great.
If not, we'll see if the Arabsstep up and cause some
consequences for Gaza.

SPEAKER_02 (30:30):
Well, uh again, you know, back literally 11 hours
ago, Gaza was rocketing whatIsrael is saying is troops in
Israel and that therefore had toshoot some rockets to uh take
out the uh Milton Gazans.

SPEAKER_01 (30:52):
So CNN an hour ago said U.S.
brokered ceasefire appears tosurvive the first major test as
Israel and Hamas affirmcommitment to deal.
This is after that.

SPEAKER_02 (31:03):
Well, that's what they're supposed to say, yeah.
Israel halts eight to Gaza untilfurther notice as renewed
fighting tests ceasefire.

SPEAKER_01 (31:15):
So anything more on Israel?

SPEAKER_02 (31:21):
Nah, not really.
You know, it's I I've said thisbefore.
I think this was a mistake.
I think they should havecontinued and cleansed Gaza
completely.
But you know, we'll see how longit lasts.
Israel has historically had aCalifornia-style government.

SPEAKER_01 (31:42):
Much as Israel was closer to the communists than us
during the that's what I mean.

SPEAKER_02 (31:46):
California style.
They're a lot more touchy-feelyand caring about other people
and bullshit like that than theJews in America.
Jews in America have generallybeen voting Democrat for certain
reasons, and I think a lot ofthat has changed with the recent
Democrat shift into thepro-Hamas camp.

(32:10):
But the Jews in America havebeen more pro-Israel than the
Jews in Israel, and so the thegeneral sense is you know, it's
at least good that the actualcommunist Jews went to Israel,
where the non-communist Jewswent to America, because they're

(32:34):
they've been messing things upwith the politics in Israel for
the entirety of its existence.
So whether you like Netanyahu oryou don't like Netanyahu,
Netanyahu is the closest thingto a strong leader that Israel's
ever had.
I mean, some would say Gold tomy ear was a strong leader back
in the founding days of Israel,but nah, not really.

(32:54):
I think he managed to do whatmost of his predecessors have
not managed to do, which is toput a very strong dent into the
constant wave of violence thatpeople in Israel have to deal
with for literally my entirelife.

(33:15):
You know, every I remember as akid watching news reports of
suicide bombings.
Like this this hasn't changedother than in size, size and
scope went from killing abusload of people, not all of
whom were Jews, incidentally, tokilling over a thousand people
at the same time.

(33:36):
But other than that, this hasbeen an ongoing issue forever.
So if if I was an optimist, Iwould be saying if this actually
holds and if Hamas leaves Gazaand the people of Gaza are not
radicalized the way that theyhave been, which I don't know
what to do about either.
Because frankly, even the peoplethat aren't directly holding

(33:59):
guns in in Gaza and shootingrockets, nonetheless, those
people have been brought up andare bringing up their children
with this idea that the onlygood Jew is a dead Jew.

SPEAKER_01 (34:14):
Well, so I think Hamas doing this war of choice
and getting nothing for it andcausing massive destruction.
I think you may have some ofthose clan leaders over there
rethinking that.

SPEAKER_02 (34:50):
So the Arabs that live in Israel are perfectly
fine with Israel, it's just theArabs that live in Gaza are not
fine with Israel existing atall, even though there are more
Arabs living in Israel than livein Gaza.
It's it's it's crazy, and thewhole thing you can blame on
Britain.
And there's a video whichunfortunately I can't share with

(35:12):
you because it's for subscribersonly, but there's a really good
video that goes through exactlyhow Britain got the mandate in
Palestine, what that processwas, what kind of documents were
signed, what was agreed to, andwhat most people don't know,

(35:33):
unless you actually are ahistorian or you have an
interest in Middle Easternhistory, is that part of that
mandate in the 1920s was thatthe territory that is currently
called Jordan was set aside forall the Arabs living in the

(35:54):
area, and Israel was supposed tohave the border of its historic
state of Israel.
Before that happened, Britainbasically sold that portion to
the was it the Saad or Assadfamily?

(36:14):
It's whoever was the first guythat became the king of Jordan.
Like Jordan is a recentcreation.
Some people think it's like beenaround for no, it really hasn't.
And Jordan is essentially anArab who was born in Saudi
Arabia coming in and taking overa territory that was under
Turkish and uh Ottoman controlafter that Ottoman Empire

(36:40):
basically lost, and just youknow, buying it from the UK,
which was happy enough to sellit, and it became the country of
Jordan.
Jordan is a completely fakecountry, just like Ukraine,
well, and just like Gaza.

SPEAKER_01 (36:55):
All of the Middle East was drunk drawn by a
drunken Brit, dude.

SPEAKER_02 (36:59):
Yeah, yeah.
So blame Brit for for all ofthese, all of these.

SPEAKER_01 (37:03):
Well, and the the some of those you could say some
of the issues that Great Britainis having right now with
immigration is just so if thechickens coming home to roast.

SPEAKER_02 (37:12):
It's it's Schreidenfreude to some degree.
It's it's sad, but it's also notat all unexpected.
And I say, look, if if you're aBritish citizen, I mean, you
gotta blame your parents andtheir parents for what they've
been doing by putting in thepoliticians that you've had,
because the politicians you'vehad are the ones responsible for

(37:33):
the Middle East and thereforeresponsible for what's going on
in the UK today.
That is absolutely the case.
And well, one of my favoriteYouTubers recently on this
topic, his channel is called thethe traveling clat.
But he's a younger guy, he's Ithink in his 20s, so that makes
him what a zoomer, probably.

SPEAKER_01 (37:55):
I mean, depending, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (37:56):
Yeah, but I think he's like in his mid-20s,
thereabouts.
But he's a he's an Iraqi Jew,his family, not him, right?
He'd never lived in Iraq, buthis family were Iraqi Jews who
left Iraq during the bigbanishment of all Jews in the
Middle East and moved to theUnited States.

(38:19):
And then he moved back toIsrael.
And so here's a guy that looks alot darker and a lot more Arab
than most of the stereotypicalyou know, European Jews that you
find.
And he he's a great commentator,he's a pretty good debater too,

(38:41):
but he's a very good commentatorto dispel these myths, right?
It's like, yeah, you know, thethe Jews in Israel, they're all
just a bunch of Europeans fromPoland that have nothing to do
at all with that land.
He's like, look, my family'slived here in Iraq, right across
from across Jordan, basically,from Israel for the last several

(39:05):
thousand years.
And I moved to Israel just likea lot of Jews moved to Israel
after the creation of Israelbecause it's our historic
homeland that we've beendisplaced from for a long time,
and finally we have our owncountry back.
But you can't say that like allJews are from Europe, that that

(39:30):
people that call themselvesJewish is from Europe.
That's retarded.
It just so happens that a lot ofJews were in Europe, but there
were also Jews all throughoutthe Middle East.
There were Jews in modern dayIsrael that never left, that
stayed there through all thedifferent countries that held
the territory, but it's not a uhit's not been something where

(39:55):
you know it's not like thecolonization of Australia by the
British, right?
There were never any British inAustralia, and so the British
that came to Australia andannihilated the native
population of kangaroos.

SPEAKER_01 (40:10):
They they they were literally criminals that uh they
were, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (40:14):
It was a penal colony, they were literally
raping kangaroos, is what Iheard somebody mentioned.
So allegedly.

SPEAKER_01 (40:20):
And so if we have any Australian listeners who
wish to comment, gene at SirGene.com.

SPEAKER_02 (40:26):
Well, we we did have one with Darren.
There was a guy that sent inquite a bit of money that was
from Australia, but no, theythey are all know that they're
all relatives uh criminals.
That's that's like this is not ahidden history of Australia.
In fact, there was an episode ofFlight of the Concords, which is
a New Zealand comedy duo,musical comedy duo.

(40:47):
I don't know if you ever watchedit, it was hilarious.
The episodes were very typicalBritish humor, I would say, sort
of you know, you you kind oflaugh at yourself along with the
their the ridiculousness ofthings.
But they did it musically, verygood duo, I think.
Anyway, they had a episode whereBrett, one of the characters, or

(41:09):
Brit, as he's called in uh NewZealand, because they pronounced
their E's differently out there.
He he wakes up in somebody'sapartment and he calls his
buddy, his roommate, the otherguy, and he's like, Hey, I I
think I must have been reallydrunk, and I think I just made a

(41:31):
horrible mistake.
And so, whoa, what happened?
It's like, well, you know, Ithink I went home with this, was
this girl.
And the guy's like, Yeah, Iremember you guys had enough.
So, you know, would you guyshave a good time?
He's like, I think she'sAustralian.
And his buddy, and his buddy'slike, What didn't you didn't you
see any of the signs?
Didn't you check?

(41:51):
I was like, No, I must have beenreally drunk and didn't notice.
And he's looking around herroom, like in the video, and you
know, there's the flag ofAustralia, there's her playing
with dolphins or something onthe beach.
It's like all these very, verytypical Australian type things,

(42:12):
and then she comes back, andwith a very Australian accent,
like, you know, come on, I I'm Imade you some breakfast.
And he's like, Oh, great, yeah,I really gotta get going.
But uh, she's like, Oh no, yougotta eat.
But she's basically thestereotypical kind of bossy
Australian chick.

SPEAKER_01 (42:32):
I have never known a stereo, uh, I don't know that
stereotype.
Oh, really?

SPEAKER_02 (42:38):
Oh, no, no, no.
If you meet Australian girls,they're they're very, they're
not like you know, assholebossy, but they're just very
tomboyish.
Like every girl in Australia inAustralia seems like a tomboy.
They all grow up like surfingand boxing kangaroos and
grabbing snakes that could killyou with their hands and stuff.

(42:59):
Yeah, they're very tomboyish.
And and but the converse ofthat, right, is no manners.
And uh like she she's made thembreakfast, so she's she takes a
coffee cup out of the sink andthen sprays about two seconds of

(43:19):
water on it, and then drops thewater out, and then pours some
dry cereal in there, and thenlooks in the fridge and didn't
have any milk, but she's gotsome old half and half and pours
a little bit of that, and he'slike, There you go, got some
made some breakfast for you.

SPEAKER_00 (43:36):
You know, that kind of thing.

SPEAKER_02 (43:38):
And so, and he's like, Well, okay, so she's from
Australia, but it's like, so youknow, are you are you
Australian?
She goes, Yeah, 100% bread andborn.
He's like, Well, what about whatabout your dad or your mom?
Are they Australian?
It's like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, I you know, I've heard thestory of how my uh my granddad

(43:59):
uh raped my grandma, and youknow, that's my that's how my my
dad was born, and and he's like,Oh, well, so your your grandma,
you know, your granddad rapedher.
That's horrible.
But yeah, yeah, he was a convictsent off to Australia, and she
was a prostitute, and so youknow, they end up kind of

(44:20):
falling in love and having kids,and and basically, like, every
time he's trying to confirm thatshe's maybe not like there's
some chance that she's at leastpart not Australian and he can
feel better.
Yeah, he's just getting thestereotypical, yeah, yeah,
deeper and deeper and deeper.
So now he's he's trying to runaway from there, and she's like,

(44:41):
Oh, where are you going?
Anyway, I don't want to justrecite the whole damn episode.
People can look it upthemselves.
I think it was an HBO show, if Iremember right.
So it's on whatever is HBO thesedays.
I think it's Max.

SPEAKER_01 (44:53):
Yep, HBO Max.

SPEAKER_02 (44:55):
Yeah, but they should have, or maybe you could
just get Flight of the Concordson anything these days.
Uh, I have no idea, but just dothe episode, just type in Flight
of the Concords, AustralianGirl, and I'm sure you'll find
some clips from it as well.
It is really well done, it isvery funny.
That show in general just spawnsso many funny comedians.

(45:18):
The uh Kristen Wig was on there,the the chick that was on the
the last man on earth, orwhatever that show was about the
guy that everybody else diedoff, and then he was alone, and
he ends up running into thiswoman who was played by the
woman that was on that show.
She was like their super fan.
She was basically going to alltheir gigs, and you know, like

(45:40):
you could tell the way she looksat them.
She's imagining sleeping withboth of them all the time.
It was it was a very cool showfor the time being.
They did creative stuff withmusic, it's all kind of folksy,
but the lyrics are really funny,they're really good, like they

(46:02):
were good at doing that kind ofstuff, and then they did some
acts after that and justtraveling, which you know never
works as well.
I I always think that anytimeyou see somebody trying to put a
TV show that they were in intoan a road act.
Like I I went to see uhMythbusters live.

SPEAKER_01 (46:23):
I didn't know they did a live thing, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (46:25):
They did it after the show ended.
That was like the next year oftheir lives.
In fact, Dave uh no, uh nevermind.
But yeah, so they did that showlive, they did a traveling gig.
I went to see them here.
Uh, it was kind of interestingto see him in person, but not
really nearly as interesting asseeing them on TV.

SPEAKER_01 (46:43):
Yeah.
Gene, I've got a dad joke foryou.
Okay.
What's the difference between agenealogist and a gynecologist?

SPEAKER_02 (46:55):
One letter?

SPEAKER_01 (46:56):
No.
The genealogist looks up thefamily tree.
Yeah, the gynecologist looks upthe family bush.

SPEAKER_02 (47:04):
Oh, Jesus.
Yeah, that's kind of a dad joke.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (47:11):
On to r real politics here.
So Trump is instituting what Iwould call that Neo Monroe
doctrine that I talked about awhile back.
Have you been paying attentionto what's going on in Latin
America?

SPEAKER_02 (47:25):
Yeah, it seems like we're sinking fishing boats
these days.

SPEAKER_01 (47:28):
We're sinking boats, but beyond that, you've got
Argentina that we are escalatinggreatly.
We flew a B-52 off the coast ofArgentina, which anyone know who
knows anything about the B-52,the buff, that is uh that that
should be a scary moment for anymilitary.

(47:49):
Because tremendous amount offirepower capable there that
they couldn't stop.
Beyond that, uh, you know, we'resinking these boats.
A seventh one has been sunk now.
We are severely limiting theircapacity to do things, but now
we've gone and we've announcedthe end of all payments to

(48:11):
Colombia.
So Colombia is being broughtinto this.
The airbase is for what USAID.

SPEAKER_02 (48:19):
Why were we giving USAID to Columbia?
What the fuck, man?
Yeah, well, eh.
Anyway, no, we should justfucking stop with all of it.
It's time to do a reset.
Okay.
I don't have a problem withtactically strategic aid for
certain things that we get thatare tangible.
However, I feel like much withthe programs that Doge has

(48:41):
uncovered, there's an awful lotof stuff that's running on
autopilot.
It's like, well, we got aid lastyear, we get aid this year,
right?

SPEAKER_01 (48:49):
And that's why I don't understand Schumer's
shutdown because he's givenTrump a lot of latitude to be
able to go in and do a lot ofthis where he otherwise would
not have had the authority to doso.

SPEAKER_02 (49:01):
Yeah, and it's not like they're gonna keep the
shutdown indefinitely, like italways comes to an end
eventually.
So what the fuck are theythinking?

SPEAKER_01 (49:09):
I don't know.
But Trump cutting aid toColombia, taking the line in
Argentina, the way he is, PuertoRico arming up and getting
ready.

SPEAKER_02 (49:26):
Like Grand Paul.
Yeah, and what Massey.
Yep, Massey is another one.
Yep.
So there definitely areRepublicans that are some would
say sticking to principles, somewould say being obtuse, and uh
should be kicked out of theparty.

(49:47):
But yeah, it's it's interestingbecause another one is Matt
Gates, and Mae Gates, who's notin Congress, but who is very
close, and I was certainly insupporting of him becoming the
attorney general.

SPEAKER_01 (49:59):
Matt Gates some say there's still time.

SPEAKER_02 (50:02):
Yeah, yeah.
Because the current chick justsucks, let's face it.
She should have never had thatjob, but it's Trump's got a he's
got a thing for blonde women.
That's that's it.
I can understand it.
He just likes blonde chicks.
I can't.
I that's just lame.
You don't put a person into ajob who's not qualified for it.

SPEAKER_01 (50:26):
Agreed.
Anyway, what it looks like to methough is we're going to
increase pressure on these LatinAmerican countries till we
fundamentally get theircapitulation.

SPEAKER_02 (50:38):
Um I honestly think we made a mistake by not forcing
all of the Latin Americacountries to adopt the US dollar
as their currency.

SPEAKER_01 (50:44):
Well, with the digital dollar, that very well
may be coming.
And that would be the move.

SPEAKER_02 (50:50):
Because it's America and we own it, and it's the Gulf
of America.

SPEAKER_01 (50:54):
I'm telling you, dude, we are looking at a very
strong possibility of aneo-Munro doctrine being
enacted, a la what I was talkingabout a few months ago.

SPEAKER_02 (51:04):
Right, right.
Which of course also completelyjustifies what Russia's doing in
Ukraine.
I mean, foreign tampering withthe political climate,
overthrowing a legitimatelyelected Ukrainian official to
institute a puppet who has zeropolitical experience.
I mean, these are all fairarguments that could be made for

(51:27):
any country.
If you're talking about sphereof influence, there's nothing
closer in sphere than thecountry next door to you.

SPEAKER_01 (51:35):
Yeah, I I agree.
I agree.
You know, the historical orIsrael with Gaza for that
matter.

SPEAKER_02 (51:41):
I mean, Israel ought to be controlling Gaza.
You can't have a bunch ofterrorists living right next to
you.

SPEAKER_01 (51:47):
Well, I think when you had the suicide bombings and
stuff like that, that yes, thatis a reasonable thing.
There's lots of things here.
But what I will tell you is I amencouraged by our actions
against these quote-unquotefishing vessels, which I don't
think they are.
These are speed boats.
No one's no one's especiallyright now, knowing what the US

(52:12):
is doing, no one's taking aspeed boat out for fishing right
now in known drug traffickingareas.

SPEAKER_02 (52:17):
Yeah.
But I also have to agree withwhat I heard from the commentary
of the president of Argentina, Iforget his name.
But he he was basically sayingthat if the US just wants to
become a colonial power, that'sfine.

(52:39):
I mean, they can do that, butdon't pretend that all you're
doing is trying to shut downdrug trade because the the
problem with drugs can is in thecitizens of America and not with
the people producing the drugs.
And I have to agree with that.
I've always been on the side oflike you can't blame the people

(53:02):
that make drugs for the use ofthose drugs.
That's ridiculous.
It's like blaming gunmanufacturers for the use of
their guns.

SPEAKER_01 (53:13):
I agree.

SPEAKER_02 (53:14):
No, you can't do that.
That's not a rational, uh,justifiable position.
You have to treat the peoplethat end up using the drugs.
And I think a part of it wasclearly we had an epidemic of
over-prescription of opioidsgoing on in this country, which
I think to a large degree hasbeen addressed.

(53:35):
And people are not prescribedopios nearly as much anymore.
Nowadays they're not going to beprescribed Tylenol either, which
for a while they were.
But you know, it's you can goafter people breaking import
laws, like I'm totally fine withstopping the drugs at the border

(53:58):
with illegally moving productinto the US.
I get all that.
But I've never liked, and thisis going back to the 80s, I've
never liked this idea that we'regoing to fly and then firebomb
cocaine fields in Colombia.
Like, not our fucking country,not the way you treat the

(54:20):
problem, and people who probablywork there as slaves are the
ones getting killed, not theones living in expensive houses
and profiting off the drugtrade.

SPEAKER_01 (54:33):
Oh, I I I agree.
I believe that we have a lot ofculpability.
But so, in addition to thecurrent assets that were already
in the region, here in the lastcouple of and last week, the US
has deployed almost a dozenships and over 4,500 marines and

(54:56):
sailors, along with asignificant portion of naval and
air power to the Caribbean tostrengthen urban operations
against Argentina, including theUSS Iwajima, which is a wasp
class amphibious assault ship,i.e., this is a marine aircraft
carrier.
What most countries wouldconsider an aircraft carrier are
amphibious assault ships.

(55:17):
So we've got cruisers,destroyers, we've got
submarines, you know, we've gothonest prey, we've got seahawks,
we've got blackhawks, we've gotdrones, we've got Poseidons,
we've got F-35s, we've got 10F-35s, which is more than enough
to take out all of Argentina byitself.
We've got Harriers, you know.

SPEAKER_02 (55:39):
I mean, I mean the British did it back with a much
smaller fleet.

SPEAKER_01 (55:43):
Yeah, in the Falcons War, yes.

SPEAKER_02 (55:46):
Yep.
That was the first war I watchedon TV.

SPEAKER_01 (55:52):
Yeah.
Were you a Thatcherite?

SPEAKER_02 (55:55):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (55:56):
You liked Thatcher, really?

SPEAKER_02 (55:58):
At the time I did, I haven't really reflected back,
but I I think given what was inin the UK pre-Thatcher, yeah,
absolutely.

SPEAKER_01 (56:10):
Anyway, Latin America is, you know, really
Trump calls Colombians Petro anillegal drug drug leader who's
the president, you know.
So like this this rhetoric isgoing to continue, and what
we're going to see, I really dobelieve by the way, just to

(56:31):
interrupt you for a sec.

SPEAKER_02 (56:32):
Really hot chicks in Colombia.

SPEAKER_01 (56:35):
Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_02 (56:36):
That's an export that that they need to switch to
over over the export of drugs.

SPEAKER_01 (56:44):
Yeah, you you gotta watch out though, because you
know, Colombia versus Brazilian,you know, you get some I will
take the Colombian over theBrazilian any day, right?
But you know, because of the thetrans issues down there.

SPEAKER_02 (56:57):
In Brazil, where like it's totally legal and they
they have lots of clinics forit, yeah.
Yeah, and the Brazil isbasically West Asia.
It's the Thailand of the SouthAmerica, exactly.
Yeah, yeah.
For sure.
Although the Thai dude chickslook more like chicks, they're
all short and skinny, whereasthe the the trans chicks, dude

(57:20):
chicks from Brazil look likedudes with breasts.

SPEAKER_01 (57:26):
Well, anyway, regardless, point is just be
careful, gentlemen.

SPEAKER_02 (57:33):
Yeah, and you know what else is a big thing in the
in Brazil?
What's that?
As far as the fetishes go,because you know, we we have we
have to get an R rating in thisepisode.

SPEAKER_01 (57:43):
But lists, yeah.
I mean, we already have beenbanned from the no agenda
stream, so I know, I know,that's what I heard.

SPEAKER_02 (57:49):
Yeah, I heard that uh somebody who really doesn't
like our show there, CSB, has uhcommented that this show is not
safe for stream, which is justinsane.

SPEAKER_01 (58:00):
Uh, I mean I mean, have you uh listened to Nick the
Rat?

SPEAKER_02 (58:03):
I yeah, clearly he has exactly Nick the Rat, who I
donated money to and he wouldn'teven acknowledge it, the
bastard.
But yeah, and half the time Nickthe Rat's doing his show where
the mic is the camera, but he'snot physically there.
And he's got like a screensavergoing basically.
Anyway, yeah, so a big thingthat I'd never seen before that

(58:26):
that came out of Brazil was ballkicking.
Have you heard of this?
No, yeah, it's where thesereally hot chicks like kick guys
in the balls over and over andover.
And I I don't know how look, Idon't understand a lot of
fetishes, okay?
I just because I've seen itdoesn't mean I understand it.

SPEAKER_01 (58:48):
Subject yourself to this.

SPEAKER_02 (58:50):
I guess they get some kind of uh uh you know
pleasure out of it somehow orsomething, but but watching hot
chicks kicking guys in theballs, and it's not the it's not
like a fetish for lesbianseither, right?
This isn't something that womenwho hate men want to watch.
This is something that guys areinto.

(59:12):
Isn't that weird?
But I just I remember seeingthis popping up at some point on
the uh the old porn feeds, andyou know, it seemed like this is
a weird, weird thing.
Yeah, and they were all fromBrazil.

SPEAKER_01 (59:27):
Weird.
Did you see the uh Christiangroup that's trying to buy
Pornhub to shut it down?
I did, yeah.
Yeah, I don't think that's gonnahappen, but you know, I I
applaud stuff like that.

SPEAKER_02 (59:38):
I think that's a great way to do it.
Look, if you can gather enoughmoney together to basically buy
out something you don't like, oryou know, fund a lawsuit against
them as another way of doing it,then do it.
I I think that's much betterthan going around shooting
people in the neck.
Yeah, agreed.

(59:59):
So if you don't Agree withsomething, buy it.
That's what Musk did, right?
Yep.
That's a legitimate thing.
Although now I think that turnedout to be a great deal because X
is worth way more than he paidfor it.
And he overpaid for it at thetime.

SPEAKER_01 (01:00:19):
Do you think X is really as valuable as the
current market valuation?
Absolutely.

SPEAKER_02 (01:00:24):
If you look at the stats for all the other
platforms that haveparticipation, basically, what
you got to look at ad rates,right?
What are you getting for yourdollar advertising, for your
advertising dollar?
And what you're getting on X ishighly motivated people that are

(01:00:44):
on it for many hours per dayreading your posts because
they're part of your timeline,just like every message.
Now, if you do a good job withadvertising, there have been a
few ads that are actuallyretweeted, like I've re-promoted
them because the ads are funny.
If you can do an ad that makesyou chuckle, you're gonna get a

(01:01:05):
retweet of that ad for me.
That's that's always been thecase.
Because then to me, it's likeart, it's not just a pitch for
something, it's actually good.
It's the same way that watchingBrandon Herrera videos gets you
to go to the gun store store andbuy more shit.
His whole channel is basicallyjust one big advertisement for

(01:01:27):
the gun industry.
But we like it.

SPEAKER_01 (01:01:30):
Well, it's entertainment too.

SPEAKER_02 (01:01:32):
It's entertaining, that's why, right?
Because you you'll even if theAK-50 is never mass-produced,
which very unlikely that it Iguarantee you the AK-50 videos
have generated millions, well,at least hundreds of thousands
of dollars, but maybe millions,of people buying AK-47s.

SPEAKER_01 (01:01:53):
Well, you know, with the AK-50, I think the only way
it becomes mass-produced isliterally if someone like
Barrett licenses it.

SPEAKER_02 (01:02:03):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, frankly, there this wouldnever happen, right?
But what would be hilarious isif Ismash licensed it.
I don't know who that is.
That's the manufacturer of theAK-47, the actual Russian
company that makes the AK-47s.

SPEAKER_01 (01:02:23):
Okay.

SPEAKER_02 (01:02:24):
Like that would be hilarious.
It's like bring it back home,you know.

SPEAKER_01 (01:02:30):
I I wouldn't be surprised if he was legally able
to, he would jump at that,actually.
Oh, dude.

SPEAKER_02 (01:02:37):
If he got a tour of the factory, he'd be jizzing the
entire time.

SPEAKER_01 (01:02:42):
And for those who don't know, Brandon Herrera is a
fan of Soviet weapons.

SPEAKER_02 (01:02:45):
He he used to be known as the AK.
The AK guy.
That's still yeah, but thesedays people know him as Brandon.
And I think the uh let's goBrandon did a lot to popularize
him being known as Brandon.
But before that, he was justonly known as the AK guy on the
internet.
And I remember watching his oldvideos when he was way, way, way

(01:03:08):
smaller of doing things liketorture testing AR-15s and then
comparing that same thing toAK-47s to demonstrate the AK-47
is a better platform.

SPEAKER_01 (01:03:22):
I mean, there's a lot of things there.
The AK-47 is a much more sloppyplatform, yeah, exactly.
And that allows it to run indifferent environments, you
know, with dirt, mud tests, andstuff like that.
Sure.
But when you're talking accuracyand several other items, and no.

SPEAKER_02 (01:03:46):
Yeah, well, obviously, you there's a
trade-off for one or the other,but or they would they would
even do stuff that wasn'tdestructive.
They would say, Okay, let'sstart shooting targets.
We have 5,000 rounds of ammountil one of the guns jams.
And you know which one's gonnajam every time.

(01:04:06):
Sure.
And it's not the AK.
But the AK was never meant tocompete against a much more
accurate and more finicky gun.
That would be the SVD.
The SVD is more of a designatedmarksman gun.
It is definitely gonna be a lotmore finicky than the AK-47, but

(01:04:28):
it's gonna have that accuracy,it's gonna have a lot of the
things that are benefits of theM16 platform.
Now, also, I was watching avideo since we're on guns.
I've I'm sure you've seen him.
The guy who is the the gun dudeof the royal armory in the UK,
you know the guy I'm talkingabout?

(01:04:48):
No, I'm sure you've seen hisvideo.
See, he he is the the headwhatever guy of the Royal Armory
of the King of England.

SPEAKER_01 (01:05:00):
Okay, right?

SPEAKER_02 (01:05:01):
So it's it's basically a museum position.
Like you're the you're the headof that the gun portion of the
museum collection.
And what's notable about him isin all the videos, he's handling
all the guns wearing whitegloves.
So it's he's a curator.
Now he does get to shoot thesethings, and he does he probably

(01:05:22):
has shot more guns than anyother person in the UK, frankly.
But it's a little different thanwhat you can do here in the US
of just own any of these thingsand shoot them, uh, although
they get to use suppressors,which is cool.
But anyway, so he did a reviewof guns of Battlefield 6, and

(01:05:44):
this is a an ongoing thing thathe does in all the video games
that come out that have guns.
He always does reviews of gunsto point out what model they're
similar to, what bits theyborrowed from what gun.
And he does have pretty goodknowledge on that.
But one of the things that thatI what made reminded me of him,

(01:06:08):
right?
Was that he had mentioned thethe American army's different
usage of different guns, youknow, what the M4 was, M16, and
then why he still will keepcalling the M16 the AR, I can't

(01:06:29):
remember say AR-16 or AR 15, butwhatever, by its manufacturer's
name rather than the militarydesignation.
Because to him, like that gunwas the gun that Stoner made,
and that's the gun thateverybody copied.
And um and it was single fire,it didn't have full auto, and it

(01:06:54):
wasn't until later in theVietnam War that the army
requested that full auto beadded.

SPEAKER_01 (01:07:03):
No, it was during the trial because the first M16s
that went to Vietnam were selectfire.
I am pretty damn sure, dude.

SPEAKER_02 (01:07:14):
Okay.
Well, we'll we'll check on that.
But either way, the the gun asit was given to the military was
a single fire gun.
And the see, I don't I don'tthink you're correct because I
remember hearing stories of guysin Vietnam saying that it's
bullshit that our guns can't dofull auto.

(01:07:37):
And that this happened after theguns were in Vietnam, not during
the trials.
But we can we can check.
But either way, I think Stonerwas correct in that you really
need to have all you really needis single fire.

(01:07:58):
Because the only thing thathaving full auto does is it
wastes ammo, and the only silverlining, the only actual benefit
of that is having suppressivefire.
It's easier to do suppressivefire, but other than that, the
only thing that full auto doesis puts a smile on your face, it

(01:08:19):
doesn't actually help you from amilitary standpoint.
Like there's not a situationwhere if only I had full auto, I
could have killed this guyfaster.
Because when you shoot singlefire mode, you're way more
accurate than you ever are infull auto mode.
And if you can pull your triggerwith your finger multiple times

(01:08:44):
per second, which most peoplecan, certainly in that age
bracket of in their early 20s,you can get a pretty quick rate
rate of fire even from a singlefire weapon.
Now, I say this as somebody thatowns both a binary trigger and a
fully semi-automatic forcereset, yeah.

(01:09:05):
Yeah, force reset trigger.
Like I I've got both of those myguns, but but that's for fun.
It's not because I think thismakes the gun better in any kind
of uh actual gun applicationscenario.

SPEAKER_01 (01:09:19):
So the first model M16 that the US military wanted
to adopt was the Colt Model 601.

SPEAKER_02 (01:09:33):
Yeah, so you say the Colt model what?

SPEAKER_01 (01:09:35):
So the Colt Model 601, which was the first weapon
that would eventually become theM16, that was adopted originally
by the US Air Force, and it wasa select fire weapon.

SPEAKER_02 (01:09:50):
How about the Army?

SPEAKER_01 (01:09:51):
I I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 (01:09:52):
I'm just telling you the first one that went into I
don't think that that weapon isknown for its use in the Air
Force.

SPEAKER_01 (01:10:00):
Well, that's what became the M16, though.

SPEAKER_02 (01:10:03):
Okay.

SPEAKER_01 (01:10:05):
So letting you know.
Anyway, regardless, they hadboth correct, but yeah.
They they had bothsemi-automatic and select fire
variants from the verybeginning, is the point.

SPEAKER_00 (01:10:16):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (01:10:21):
Yeah.
Okay.
Well either it was designed as asingle fire weapon, either way.
So in fact, I think and again, II'm going off of videos I
watched of Stoner inner beinginterviewed.

(01:10:44):
So I think he in that video saidthat the reason that it had a
three-round burst mode was acompromise between him arguing
that it was a bad decision togive fully automatic weapons to

(01:11:04):
the troops, and at the veryleast, if they want something
more than single shot, let'sgive them a three-shot option.

SPEAKER_01 (01:11:14):
Yeah, three-round burst, but the three-round burst
mechanisms are janky.
The other thing I would say ishow do they work?

SPEAKER_02 (01:11:19):
I have never looked into how they do it's a ratchet
round.

SPEAKER_01 (01:11:22):
It's a ratchet.
So it's a ratchet on the steer.

SPEAKER_02 (01:11:25):
No ratchet and then the resets.

SPEAKER_01 (01:11:27):
Right.
Okay.
Um, so interestingly enough,though, so the three-round burst
mechanism was kind of eh, butone of the things that was
pretty interesting that Stoner,when you look at the history,
the issues with the early M16s,Stoner insisted over and over
and over again that the barrelsbe chrome lined.

(01:11:51):
And the military, in order tosave money, decided, nah, we're
not going to do that.
And hence why the reliabilityissues of the original M16s
became a problem.
Yeah.
Because without the chrome linedbarrel, if you're not
maintaining your gun, then youhave a problem where you know

(01:12:11):
you've got an iron barrel, it'sgoing to rust if you're not
maintaining it.
Yeah.
Especially in a jungleenvironment.

SPEAKER_02 (01:12:22):
It's gotta, yeah, it's gotta get cleaned, it can
be grimy, and even with your,and this is the other thing that
I don't like about it, is Idon't like weapons that don't
use pistons.
Like, I don't want hot gasblowing in my face every time uh
the gun shoots.

SPEAKER_01 (01:12:40):
I mean, the there are pros and cons to direct
impingement versus gas piston.
Gas piston screw with the barrelharmonics, which can be less
accurate.
Direct impingement has somebenefits.

SPEAKER_02 (01:12:55):
How do they screw with the g with the barrel
harmonics?

SPEAKER_01 (01:12:58):
Because you've got more mass on top of the barrel,
so it's messing with the barrelharmonics.
And the barrel harmonic, thereason why we've gone to free
float hand guards andeverything, is that barrel when
the when the round goes throughand is whipping around from the
rifling, it causes that barrelto oscillate with additional
mass up top.
This can be somewhatproblematic.

(01:13:20):
At least that's what thegunsmiths tell me.
I've had gas piston operatedARs, I've had direct impingement
AMR tons, I've got lots ofdifferent guns.
The reality is the difference inaccuracy that is going to make
on that particular firearmplatform is minimal.
Now, would I want a gas pistonsniper rifle or something that

(01:13:44):
I'm wanting to be sub-MOA?
No.
But I also wouldn't want directimpingement.
I probably wouldn't gosemi-auto, right?
And if I am, then you know,probably direct impingement's
gonna be the better choicebecause it's easier to tune.
But, you know, when you when youhave a reciprocating mass up
there, it just adds to to theway the gun handles.

SPEAKER_02 (01:14:10):
Yeah, I I I mean I don't disagree with you at all
on that.
That's definitely the case, butalso you have to look at what
what the parameters for the gunare for its specific purpose.

SPEAKER_01 (01:14:22):
Agreed.
And that's that's where I was.
Well, for CQB.

SPEAKER_02 (01:14:32):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (01:14:33):
Right.
I mean, the original N16 had a20-inch barrel.
Yeah, exactly.
I mean, I I think I think thepoint.

SPEAKER_02 (01:14:46):
Well, I yeah, the the current M4s use either a 9
or a 13-inch.

SPEAKER_01 (01:14:52):
I think 13-inch is the standard, but r regardless,
we do have down to like anine-inch barrel option for most
of them.

SPEAKER_02 (01:15:01):
Yep.
So I I think it's a the bottomline.
We started on this whole topictalking about Brandon Herrer and
the the gun, the stuff he didbefore he was well known, which
was basically AK propaganda,would be a good way of putting
it.
Um did you see ever see thevideo that was shot of Stoner

(01:15:24):
meeting Kalashnikov?

SPEAKER_01 (01:15:26):
Kalishnikov, yeah, yeah.
And then shooting each other'sguns.
Yes.

SPEAKER_02 (01:15:29):
That was that was cool.
Yeah.
No, they both had uh a lot ofrespect for the other.

SPEAKER_01 (01:15:33):
Well, both are quite frankly pretty brilliant gun
designers.
Yeah, the only gun designer Iwould put above both of them
would be Browning.
The mountain Jew.

SPEAKER_02 (01:15:45):
Yeah.
Yeah, he's a he definitelyrevolutionized, I think, the gun
industry back in the 1800s.

SPEAKER_01 (01:15:57):
Oh, dude, the the BAR, all of that.
The Browning high power, I mean,just absolute brilliant gun
designer.

SPEAKER_02 (01:16:05):
Yeah.
Yep.
That's still those a lot of thederivatives of those guns still
very much in production today.

SPEAKER_01 (01:16:14):
Oh my god, if I could have a B AR, I would be
oh, oh my god.
Full auto 30 odd six.
Yes, please.

SPEAKER_02 (01:16:23):
Yeah, yeah.
I just I like I've always had afascination for bull pups, and I
like owning them.
I've owned like quite a few ofthem over the years, including
the current one that I got youinterested in and you ended up
buying.

SPEAKER_01 (01:16:40):
Hey, I like bull pups too.
I've always wanted an AUG.
I've always wanted a bull.
Yeah, but you know what?
They've been too damn expensiveand not modernized enough for a
long time.
But you know what?
Aug has changed thatsignificantly generation.
Yes.
Okay.
Uh they maintained the quickswap barrel, but they actually
have a decent handguard now andseveral other things.

(01:17:01):
So like the Aug has come up as apotential option again.

SPEAKER_02 (01:17:06):
Oh, that's good.
Yeah, the more options, thebetter.
I I like competition in thespace, but it it always seemed
to me that it was just wastedspace behind the grip of the
gun.
And like if you could utilizeit, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (01:17:22):
It's it's the trigger, though.
The that's one thing bullpups nobullpup has a good trigger.

SPEAKER_02 (01:17:27):
Yeah, yeah.
I I think compared to anon-bullet pup, they tend to
have worse triggers.
But I will say that in theTavar, it's probably the best
bullet pup trigger that I'veused because certainly in other
bullet pups I've had thetriggers have been worse.

SPEAKER_01 (01:17:41):
Did you get one of the upgraded trigger packs or
no?

SPEAKER_02 (01:17:44):
No, I never did.
Okay, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (01:17:46):
Well, supposedly some of the no, I have not.
I haven't.
They they've been on they'relike they were on back order.
Yeah, and they were on backorder for a very long time.

SPEAKER_02 (01:17:54):
I don't shoot that gun enough to justify an
upgraded trigger, I think is mybottom line.

SPEAKER_01 (01:17:59):
Well, I've I've spent way more upgrading that
gun with the the handguard.
Oh, that's right.

SPEAKER_02 (01:18:04):
You replaced the handgarden, yeah.
Yeah, I mean the most expensivething I have on that gun is the
thermal site.

SPEAKER_01 (01:18:12):
Yeah, the most expensive thing I have on that
gun.
The optic isn't cheap.
The IR laser wasn't tooexpensive, but still not cheap,
you know.
I don't know.
I've put it's it's it's set upfor you know night vision use
and lots of other things.

SPEAKER_02 (01:18:32):
So yeah, exactly.
And the only thing it's missingis really a suppressor.

SPEAKER_01 (01:18:37):
Yes, and I'm it's uh so I actually have a surefire
mount on there, and I have thethe surefire linear compensator
on there right now with a warmount.
I would love to get a suppressorfor it, but current legal
restrictions.
Um I'm waiting to see where thislands.

SPEAKER_02 (01:18:59):
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, it'd be silly to justspend the money or even not
spend the money, but fill outall the paperwork and the
bullshit you gotta go through.
When it's likely to be gonnachange it within a year, yeah.
If it just like, oh, you canjust buy it mail order now from
anyone.
God, that would be how coolwould that be.
Like every other accessory, myFRT, I just got showed up to my

(01:19:22):
house in the mail.

SPEAKER_01 (01:19:23):
Yeah, because it's not a gun.

SPEAKER_02 (01:19:24):
Not a gun.
Exactly.
Neither is the suppressor,goddamn it.

SPEAKER_01 (01:19:29):
No, but the problem with that is then the suppressor
is technically not protected bythe Second Amendment.

SPEAKER_02 (01:19:34):
Well, that that's fine.
I mean, any single gun part thencan be said to not be protected.
That trigger could be notprotected then.
So you can have all the guns youwant, but no triggers.

SPEAKER_01 (01:19:48):
That would be an interesting thing, right?
I mean, that'd be the this isthe that would be the left's
law.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (01:19:59):
So yeah, it's I think any anything that is a gun
and any accessory that fits onthat gun is protected, in my
mind.
Now, the government disagreeswith me, but logically, that's
what I would say.
It you can't say cars areprotected, but tires are not.

unknown (01:20:21):
No.

SPEAKER_02 (01:20:22):
Did or off-road tires aren't.
You can have normal road tires,but you're not allowed to put
off-road tires without fillingout a form.

SPEAKER_01 (01:20:31):
Did you uh see the latest Ozympic news?

SPEAKER_02 (01:20:34):
No.
What's going on with that?

SPEAKER_01 (01:20:36):
So they're claiming Ozimpic may help reduce alcohol
consumption.

SPEAKER_02 (01:20:43):
I could see that.
I mean, it definitely fucks withyour brain's uh motivational
centers when it comes to feelinghungry.
So I could see how it would workwith alcohol too.

SPEAKER_01 (01:20:55):
They're just gonna make this the Vunda drug.

SPEAKER_02 (01:20:58):
Well, it's uh we've talked about this before.
So it's it's not really a drug.
What it is is an artificiallycreated uh hormone, essentially,
that your body naturallyproduces anyway in the pituitary
gland.
So all you're doing is you'reinjecting yourself with a higher

(01:21:19):
amount than your body naturallyproduces.
So do you want to call it adrug?
I guess maybe because it'sdelivered in drug form.
It's a shot.
But I don't know, man.
It's to me, this is in the samecategory as like what who's our
bicyclist here in Austin?

(01:21:41):
Uh Lance Armstrong.
This is kind of in the samecategory as what Lance Armstrong
got busted for or doping.
You know what he was doing?

SPEAKER_01 (01:21:49):
Testosterone?

SPEAKER_02 (01:21:50):
No.

SPEAKER_01 (01:21:51):
What red blood cells?
Oh, that's right, because he hadcancer.

SPEAKER_02 (01:21:56):
Yeah.
So is red is a red blood cell adrug?
You know, I mean, I guess youcan treat it as as that if it's
artificially injected into you,so you have a higher capacity
for carrying oxygen.

(01:22:17):
But it it's very tenuous.
I mean, technically,testosterone really isn't a drug
either.
It's once again, it's adding ahormone that is naturally
produced within the body to thebody.
Now, if you take a drug thatstimulates natural production of

(01:22:39):
testosterone, ironically, thatactually would be a drug because
that is not something that'snaturally produced in the body.
You're using an external set ofchemicals to boost the
production within your body.
So that to me would be asomething legitimately called a
drug, but actual testosteroneinjections.

(01:23:00):
I don't I don't really thinkthat that's a drug.
I mean, I I take insulininjections.
Is that a drug?
My body makes insulin, justdoesn't make enough of it.

SPEAKER_01 (01:23:12):
Well, but you're using artificial insulin, not
quite the same.

SPEAKER_02 (01:23:16):
It's doing the exact same thing.

SPEAKER_01 (01:23:18):
Yeah.
Did you it's it it's a grayarea.
Did you see the news about TommyRobinson?
No, what happened to him?
So Tommy Robinson was leavingthe UK, had rented a very nice
car, like a Bentley orsomething, and was heading
somewhere for vacation over inEurope using his newly obtained

(01:23:40):
Irish passport.

SPEAKER_02 (01:23:42):
Yep.

SPEAKER_01 (01:23:42):
And the Brits knew who he was at the border
crossing, stopped him, asked forhis phone and the password to
his phone, which they're allowedto do under their terrorism
legislation.
Yeah.
And he said no.
So now he is facing new jailtime for terrorism charges.
The insanity of the UKcontinues.

SPEAKER_02 (01:24:03):
And again, like they're digging their own grave.
What they don't seem tounderstand is this this leads to

only one thing (01:24:09):
a caliphate.
The the surest, and I've saidthis for a long time, the
antidote to feminism and byextension, liberalism is Islam.
This is Islam is what you getwhen your country becomes too
liberal.
This is what happened in Iran.

(01:24:30):
This should have been a lessonfor everybody.
Iran was outpacing Europe in itsliberal policies.
Yeah.
And it upset enough people thatwere extremists that they
overthrew the government,overthrew the Shah, and elected

(01:24:52):
or elected, uh, put in place auh religious government instead.
So I this is I I think the UK ison a very short ticker here.
Like the fuse is almost beyondthe point of being able to snip
it off.

SPEAKER_01 (01:25:08):
Yeah, I don't know that the UK is salvageable at
this point.

SPEAKER_02 (01:25:10):
Yeah, yeah.
I think that, and if you listento and this is like I mentioned
that Israeli dude who is youknow, family is from Iraq
originally, Iraqi Jews, buttalking about, or he's showing
videos of these Islamists livingin the UK who openly talk about

(01:25:32):
how they're counting down thedays at which they can start
imposing Sharia law on theentire country and charging all
the non-Muslims jizya.

SPEAKER_01 (01:25:42):
You know, which is a tax to live in a Muslim country.
Yeah, it's a tax non-Muslims.
If you're living in a Muslimcountry, you're either
functionally a slave or you areyou are converting.

SPEAKER_02 (01:25:57):
I mean, it's I guess it's better to pay a jizya than
be killed, which is what used tohappen.
But at the same time, you don'thave the same rights as a Muslim
living in a Muslim country, younever will.

SPEAKER_01 (01:26:09):
No, and I think a really good example of this, and
people don't think of it, but isthe UAE.
You know, I've talked about manytimes the UAE's population is
98% you know non-citizens,right?
So to be in the UAE, you have topay for a visa, you have to have
a job, you have to be doingthings, you have to be paying

(01:26:31):
that tax, and you do not havethe rights of a citizen.
You even if you spend over amillion dollars, the best you
can hope for is a golden visa,which is good for 10 years.
That's it.

SPEAKER_02 (01:26:44):
Yeah, and this is why you find a lot of European
millionaires or Russianmillionaires, or you know,
people that don't want to livein necessarily the country that
they were living in, they theytend to flee to the UAE and get
one of those expensive visasbecause they want to get a lot
of the benefits of not living ina country with laws that may

(01:27:09):
find things to charge them with.
A good example of that is theguy that uh I forget his name,
I'm horrible with names, but theguy that created Telegram app.
So he he lives in the UAE.
And if you remember, he was likea month or two ago, he was
visiting Paris on a trip, andthey arrested him for something,

(01:27:34):
some bullshit thing or other,and then held him for like three
weeks before he finally got outof there and went back to the
UAE.
And I don't think the UAE hasextraction deals either.

SPEAKER_01 (01:27:47):
The UAE does not, so it depends on which countries,
but the UAE, Saudi Arabia,Qatar, none of them have
extradition as much extraditionagreements with the United
States.

SPEAKER_02 (01:27:58):
Extraction is what we do in countries that don't
have extradition, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (01:28:01):
And the other thing I would say is Narda Cyprus,
actually.
Which is a member of the EU.

SPEAKER_02 (01:28:09):
A lot of the Russian oligarchs moved to Cyprus.
Yeah, it's it's I'm not againstthat model.
I I think that for the actualcitizens of Qatar and for the
citizens of Saudi Arabia and forthe citizens of a lot of these
Muslim countries, like they'redoing what's good for them.

(01:28:33):
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
They're not they don't give ashit about well, is it fair to
everybody?
No, no, the Saudi family rules afairly sizable country, yeah,
and like I mentioned earlier,Jordan ruled by really what was
a member of the Saudi family.

(01:28:53):
So, yeah, they're doing allright for themselves, and I have
no problem with those guys.
I have no problem with the typeof uh Islam that they practice
either.
Like, it's a practical Islam,not a militant Islam.

SPEAKER_01 (01:29:09):
I mean, I don't know, the Wahhabiists in uh
Saudi Arabia are pretty prettymilitant.

SPEAKER_02 (01:29:15):
Well, they're not like the Shiites.

SPEAKER_01 (01:29:18):
Uh I don't know about that, dude.
The Wahhabiists are prettygruff.

SPEAKER_02 (01:29:24):
I don't know, dude.
I I knew I mean if you if youbuy the story on 9-11, I mean
hijackers were Saudi Arabian Howabsolutely hobbyists, but is
that because they were hobbyistsor because they were simply
people that bin Laden trusted?

(01:29:46):
Would naturally be people fromSaudi Arabia as he was part of
the family?

SPEAKER_01 (01:29:52):
I mean, let's let's be honest.

SPEAKER_02 (01:29:54):
The the do we really believe the Jews blew up the
building, of course.
Yeah, it it's either way, Ithink that it is a little
suspicious that all of thehijackers were from the same
country, and that the passportswere found.
I don't think that's I thinkthat's less suspicious,

(01:30:15):
honestly.
Because how the fuck does apassport survive that?
Well, why would it not?

SPEAKER_01 (01:30:24):
Because the fire is strong enough to melt as best as
coated steel, apparently.
Yeah, but if which is notphysically possible, but anyway.

SPEAKER_02 (01:30:33):
But if there are explosions, which presumably
there were visible explosionsthat we watched, at least I
watched this shit live when itwas happening.
But anyway.

SPEAKER_01 (01:30:52):
I was living in Idaho at the time, and I was in
the shower getting ready forschool, listening to Rick D's in
the morning and thinking, Thisis a really stupid joke, Rick.
What are you talking about?
Right, because he was kind of ashock jock kind of guy.
And you know, like this isn'tfunny, and then turned on the TV

(01:31:13):
on Fox News, and sure enough,and called the school and like,
are we still having are we stillhaving you know class today?
And they're like, Yes, ofcourse.
And I remember being in my APEnglish course and going, Why
are we at school and why don'twe have a TV on watching school
just your mom?

(01:31:34):
No, this was when I was inpublic school.

unknown (01:31:36):
Okay.

SPEAKER_01 (01:31:36):
This was anyway.

SPEAKER_02 (01:31:38):
The public school in the compound.

SPEAKER_01 (01:31:40):
Ah, god god, dude.
Anyway, there was this kid therewho was like, I just like why
the fuck do we care about what'sgoing on in new in New York?
It's like because this is gonnachange our the course of our
nation's history, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (01:31:52):
And it did.
Yeah, for sure.
We're still living with it.

SPEAKER_01 (01:31:55):
Patriot Act wanted too, baby, keeps getting
renewed.

SPEAKER_02 (01:31:58):
Yeah, and okay, so here's the other thing.
The I think a passport couldlegitimately have been blown out
with an explosion.
Ain't no way.
I think it could have.
Uh, it was like it's not likethe passport was the only piece
of stuff from the plane that wasfound outside of the actual

(01:32:20):
crash site.
Okay, there are other bits.

SPEAKER_01 (01:32:25):
And I I assume you believe that the the jet fuel
was enough to melt the steel.

SPEAKER_02 (01:32:29):
No, obviously not.

SPEAKER_01 (01:32:31):
But just not isn't it Occam's razor to say that
it's more likely that that wasplanted?
Not at all.
It it is that's insane.
It's that's insane.

SPEAKER_02 (01:32:41):
For look, just because an actual conspiracy
happened doesn't mean thatabsolutely every element that
you find about that event ispart of the conspiracy.
There are perfectly reasonablenatural things that happen that
are not part of theconspiratorial plot, even if

(01:33:02):
there is one that exists.

SPEAKER_01 (01:33:04):
And assuming that everything has to be related is
the Pentagon hit by a plane or amissile.

SPEAKER_02 (01:33:10):
Yeah, that's uh that's a tough one.
I'm gonna say probably amissile, but I can't I can't
prove it was a missile.
Because I watched the footage ofthat too, but that footage was
it was very fast.
Like what you didn't have in thefootage is you didn't have an
image of a plane descendingtoward the Pentagon.

SPEAKER_01 (01:33:32):
Yeah, and when you look at the physics of the the
required piloting skills to dothat is fucking impossible for
someone to use the phone.

SPEAKER_02 (01:33:41):
I've done that plenty of times in in plenty of
times in uh flight sim 10.
Oh please.

unknown (01:33:48):
Okay.

SPEAKER_02 (01:33:49):
The crashing into a building in Flight Sim 10 is
like the default thing until youlearned how to land.
The damn game was a good thing.

SPEAKER_01 (01:33:57):
Right, but the Pentagon is not exactly big
enough.

SPEAKER_02 (01:34:02):
Are you kidding?
The Pentagon is one of thebiggest buildings in the world.

SPEAKER_01 (01:34:06):
From a footprint area, not the height.

SPEAKER_02 (01:34:08):
Oh, yeah, it's not very tall.
It's I think it's four fourfloors tall.
Well, you would think five, butyeah.
There you go.
So yeah.
It's it's likely that it was notan airplane, but I can't prove
that it wasn't an airplane.
I definitely saw live video oftwo airplanes crashing into the

(01:34:33):
two towers that I did see.
I saw the second one.
People that say that there was amissile.
I think you gotta stretch theimagination a little bit to say
that was a missile.
Now people argue, well, itwasn't the same plane, it wasn't
actually physically the samesize, the plane that crashed

(01:34:53):
into it, as the plane they'reclaiming took off from Boston.
Okay, that could be the case.

SPEAKER_01 (01:34:59):
I don't know enough about the you know size of
planes that are only caught inlike four frames out of a video
to be able to the people,especially the zoomers who are
getting into the 9-11 conspiracytheories and coming up with all
these oh, it was holographic andthis, that, and the other.

(01:35:19):
Uh dude, you gotta remember thequality of TV we had back in the
day.
Yeah, it is not the same as youknow uh no, no, no.

SPEAKER_02 (01:35:27):
But but we do have, at least for one of the planes,
film footage of it crashing intothe building because somebody
was filming on an eightmillimeter camera, some event
that was happening uh south ofuh you know, south south the
south of Manhattan.

SPEAKER_01 (01:35:46):
Yeah, just no one ever forgets WTC 7.

SPEAKER_02 (01:35:51):
Yeah, WTC 7 has no explanations at all.
And if you look at the footagewithout telling anybody, what
are you seeing here?
Well, there seems to be a firein the bill.
Oh my god, the building justcompletely collapsed in a staged
set of explosions.
So there not only do we have nobetter description of why it

(01:36:16):
collapsed than what I just said,we also have motive for why that
building was likely to want tohave been collapsed because of
the data that it was holdingseveral reasons, but yes.
Yeah, I mean basically everyeverything that you can say the
government has lied about wasstored in that building.

(01:36:38):
The the audits of the Pentagon,the IRS papers, the the links
between the what was going onwith the CIA and the operations
of terrorism they were funding,like all that was stored in that
building, allegedly.
So all of it conveniently alldisappeared at the same time.

(01:37:03):
And here's the other thing allthe cameras were cut for some
reason.
That building had no videosurveillance, where normally it
had video surveillance 24-7.

SPEAKER_01 (01:37:13):
Yeah, and don't forget on what was it, September
9th, that Donald Rumsfeld saidthat the failed uh audit of the
Pentagon and the unaccounted formulti-trillion dollars was the
greatest, the greatest threat toour nation.
Yeah, yeah, and then that justwent away, and we spent
trillions more.

SPEAKER_02 (01:37:34):
It's shocking how that it's just like Charlie Kirk
said, I hate Israel, and thenthe next thing you know, he's
dead.

SPEAKER_01 (01:37:40):
Yeah, okay, Candace.

SPEAKER_02 (01:37:44):
My god, Candace has been reading the T Leaves like
crazy and has become CharlieKirk's posthumously Charlie
Kirk's best friend.

SPEAKER_01 (01:37:52):
Well, and yeah, yeah, yeah, and apparently
getting her Ouija board out.

SPEAKER_02 (01:37:57):
Uh-huh.
That's about it, man.
I I think that I don't think sherealizes how much of a
disservice to Catholicism she'scurrently doing.
Why?
Because people are starting tosee, oh, this is what happens
when somebody converts to aCatholic now.
This is what Catholicism is allabout.
It's all about mysticism and youknow, dream interpretation and

(01:38:21):
all this shit.
Because she, you know, she Idon't know what she was, but she
was a typical black chick whoincidentally, you know, the the
way she got famous, you probablyknow this, but the way she got
famous initially was a websitethat she set up to basically dox
people she didn't like.

(01:38:44):
That was her claim to famebefore she got her start as a
media person.
She set up this website tobasically dox people that were
making threats from the left.
So you could like you could say,well, that's not a bad reason to
do it, yes, but you know, doxinghas kind of been frowned upon as

(01:39:09):
a method of of uh retaliation byboth sides, I think, for the
most part.
But she was certainly the firstperson from the right side
perspective to start doxingpeople on the left.
And I remember watching one ofher very early debates with with

(01:39:33):
Blair White.
Where Blair White, who is aconservative trans chick, she
decided to go up against andtalk about how you know evil and
nasty and crazy all thetranssexual wise, and Blair's
like agreeing with her, but thisshe keeps putting putting Blair

(01:39:56):
up as an example of how bad thisis.
Like, dude, I'm gonna pick anexample.
There are many other transpeople out there that are way
worse examples than Blair Whitein in the way they act, in the
way that they're you knowcorrupting kids, all this shit.
Blair is the least of yourproblems, and it was a show that

(01:40:18):
Dave Rubin moderated, and Dave,I remember saying, throwing his
hands up in the ears like I Idon't know what to do, I don't
know how to handle a cat fightas a gay man.
I think it was it was agenuinely funny moment, yeah.
But yeah, it it's I think that'sthe other thing is I think kind

(01:40:44):
of like Hitler, Candace just hadsome bad experiences.

SPEAKER_01 (01:40:48):
Sorry, what a transition.

SPEAKER_02 (01:40:50):
Well, it's uh I'm just factually correct in this.
She had some negativeexperiences with Jews that that
originally were helping her,like Dennis Prager, which got
her her first real media job,you know, Dave Rubin that that
moderated that show, the DailyWire that made her a much bigger
name and gave her a much biggerpaycheck, and and so all these

(01:41:15):
all these helpful Jews along theway, she sees as greedy because
they were taking money that wascoming in for in support of her.

SPEAKER_01 (01:41:25):
Well, I mean, you know.
Try not to live up to thestereotype so much, right?

SPEAKER_02 (01:41:32):
Well, look, it it it's it's totally not true to
say that the Jews controlconservative media, but the Jews
do control conservative media.

SPEAKER_01 (01:41:42):
Yeah, I think the Jews control a lot of things,
but I don't know that it's somelike conspiracy.
I think when you look at IQresearch and you look at
statistics on IQ researchbecause people don't like
hearing about IQ, but yeah.
Well, but the I mean, the dude,it this is something we have to

(01:42:04):
face is there are differentethnic groups have different
IQs, and it's not to say thatall you know Jews of a specific
lineage are you know ubermenschor super intelligent, yeah.
And it's not to say that allblacks are you know functionally
retarded.

(01:42:25):
There is a bit that came out uhthat no, hold on, I want to make
this point because the there isthis uh there's there's more
overlap than there isdistinction.
But when you're talking andthat's my point, is but when
you're talking at the margins,when you're talking about five,
ten percent differentiation, howthat plays out in the long run

(01:42:45):
is a big deal, and that's myentire thing.

SPEAKER_02 (01:42:48):
And it may not even be five, ten percent, but it is
statistically significant.

SPEAKER_01 (01:42:53):
Yes.
Well, I mean, I believe theAshkenazi Jews are
statistically, I think it's onestandard deviation, so that'd be
15.

SPEAKER_02 (01:43:02):
Really?
That high.
I didn't realize.

SPEAKER_01 (01:43:04):
So the average IQ for Ashkenazi would be 115
percent now.

SPEAKER_02 (01:43:08):
If if I'm 50 Jewish, do I get half of that done
there?
How's that work?

SPEAKER_01 (01:43:11):
It's this it's random genetics, dude.
It's all about statistics,right?
Lies, damn lies, and thenstatistics.

SPEAKER_02 (01:43:18):
Uh-huh.
So one thing I I saw a video onrecently is uh relating to IQ
the bell curve.
Great book, by the way.
Is Asians.
There's been a lot ofconversation about how Asians
are, you know, they're excellingat everything, they're more
intelligent than white people,and even you know, statistically
true, like MIT had to stopadmitting Asians because they

(01:43:42):
were an overwhelming majorityand they needed more black
people.
So, what the study found inanalyzing it was a meta study
analyzing a bunch of otherstudies of IQ that were
performed in Asia.
What they found was that Asiansas a group had an average IQ of

(01:44:04):
97.
Okay, and that they're actuallyslightly below the average IQ in
the United States.
Well, but two factors play intothis perception.
Number one, that the Asians thatmigrate to the US tended to be
the higher IQ people.
Correct.
The second one of which thatthey think is the much greater

(01:44:27):
impact here is that going by bycohorts of the same birth
cohorts, so birth year based,they found that on average Asian
students spent at more than 90minutes longer than white
students studying on a dailybasis.

SPEAKER_01 (01:44:48):
Yeah, and that's that tiger mom theory.
Yep.
And the other thing I would sayis if you look at this in contra
and compare and contrast toAfrica, blacks in America have a
higher IQ than blacks in Africa.

SPEAKER_02 (01:45:00):
Oh, I haven't seen that.
That's interesting.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (01:45:02):
Yep.

SPEAKER_02 (01:45:03):
Well, don't tell my dad.
Why?
You don't wanna you you thinkI'm racist?
You you heard him talk aboutAfrica.

SPEAKER_01 (01:45:15):
Okay.

SPEAKER_02 (01:45:16):
I like his this show is definitely on the not safer
stream mode here, but like youknow, a typical joke would would
be something is like, well, ofcourse, or the punchline would
be to whatever the joke setup isof course he can do that, his
tail still works.
You know, it's it's that levelof racism.

(01:45:38):
Okay, yeah.
Like, like that, you know.
How do you tell a black personapart from a gorilla?

SPEAKER_01 (01:45:48):
I dude, I did you really go there.

SPEAKER_02 (01:45:52):
I I mean, I'm not I'm quoting, right?
This is not me telling anyracist joke.
This is me quoting.

SPEAKER_01 (01:45:58):
Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_02 (01:45:58):
I'm not even gonna even give you the punchline on
that one.
You come up with your ownanswer.

SPEAKER_01 (01:46:02):
You you can give it to me offline.
That's the that's the saferanswer in case this ever becomes
an exhibit for HR.

SPEAKER_02 (01:46:10):
Exactly.
So my point is what I'm tryingto say is my dad's freaking
racist, but everybody was racistthat was born when he was born.
Because that was the if youlived in Europe, that was the
standard.

SPEAKER_01 (01:46:25):
Well, and race was way more broad than white and
black and yellow.
It was the Irish are not white.

SPEAKER_02 (01:46:36):
Right, right.
And certainly the Italians arenot white.

SPEAKER_01 (01:46:42):
Yeah, absolutely.
That's like it it it it's it'slike people sit there and go,
Hitler was Austrian, yeah, hewas ethnically German.
That's the whole thing, is theyour language and your country
were tied to your race.

SPEAKER_02 (01:46:57):
Yeah, yeah, where the borders tended to be based
on those racial divides.
And again, we can blame theBritish for mostly screwing that
up in in all of Asia andincluding India and Pakistan.

SPEAKER_00 (01:47:12):
Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_01 (01:47:14):
Yep.
Well, what do you have you beenlistening to No Agenda at all?
Yeah.
What do you think of Adam'sNorth Steam Nexus theory?

SPEAKER_02 (01:47:22):
I haven't heard that.

SPEAKER_01 (01:47:23):
Oh, you need to go into the show notes and listen
to that.

SPEAKER_02 (01:47:27):
Well, give me a brief synopsis.

SPEAKER_01 (01:47:29):
Uh you can go do it.
Okay.

SPEAKER_02 (01:47:32):
So we don't need it.

SPEAKER_01 (01:47:34):
No, it's not, but it's it's it's an interesting
hypothesis.

SPEAKER_02 (01:47:37):
Adam sent me a thing based on the.

SPEAKER_01 (01:47:38):
And you bastard for what?
Nothing, nothing, nothing.
Trying to not laugh.

SPEAKER_02 (01:47:45):
Yeah, okay, yeah, please don't.
So the I got a text from Adamtalking about end of show mix
stuff, and then I said, Well, Ithought that you know I couldn't
submit AI-generated music to theend of show, which is why I've
never submitted anything.
Because obviously I don't, youknow, play an instrument in real

(01:48:06):
life.
So I'm I'm uh, you know, a musicproducer.
That's all.
So he says, no, no longer.
He says, send some end of showmixes.
And I reply, I thought thejingles were banned.
No longer, it's just too good.
So I guess apparently they doaccept AI-generated music.

SPEAKER_01 (01:48:26):
So I actually've been playing some of that, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (01:48:29):
I yeah, I I honestly have not been listening to the
end of show mixes when I dolisten to the episodes because I
usually listen at 4x, and musicdoes not sound good at 4x.

SPEAKER_01 (01:48:40):
No, dude, you you can't do that.
Don't don't do 4x.

SPEAKER_02 (01:48:45):
So and I might slow it down for that portion.
I'm not gonna slow them downjust for that.

SPEAKER_01 (01:48:48):
And how can you possibly listen at 4x and pay
any sort of fucking attention?

SPEAKER_02 (01:48:54):
I don't know, maybe it's all as Ashkenazi, you know,
genes or something.

SPEAKER_01 (01:48:58):
Uh-huh.
That are you're just not reallylistening.

SPEAKER_02 (01:49:00):
Can you not understand things at 4X?

SPEAKER_01 (01:49:03):
I I can, but I don't find it pleasurable.
Oh.
Like it just sounds screechy.

SPEAKER_02 (01:49:10):
It just basically like listening to Ben Shapiro
2X.
Again, not something I wouldwhen I listen to his show, I
usually listen to 2X.
I can't I can't listen toShapiro at 4X.

SPEAKER_01 (01:49:26):
No, he talks the dude talks fast.

SPEAKER_02 (01:49:30):
It's not physically possible.

SPEAKER_01 (01:49:33):
You've seen his sister, right?

SPEAKER_02 (01:49:36):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, I've seen his sister, ifthat's what you mean, yes.
Okay.
In fact, I think I might havesent you a photo of his sister.
But I wouldn't know, rightallegedly.

SPEAKER_01 (01:49:49):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (01:49:50):
But yeah, so the chick that kind of looked like
she could be his kid's sisterthat used to be on the Daily
Wire.
Uh I forget her name now.
You know what I'm talking about,right?

SPEAKER_01 (01:50:03):
The uh Brett's Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (01:50:07):
Brett Cooper.
Yeah, yeah.
So who's now a mom?
She's got married, had a kid,doing her own show.
And I think I think her audienceis now even bigger on her own
than it was with the Daily Wire,which I would expect because a
lot of people just moved over toher channel once that popped

(01:50:30):
back up.
But she's certainly not coveringthe same kind of topics that she
was.
What's she covering?
Mostly gossip, girl gossip shit.

SPEAKER_01 (01:50:40):
Why is that surprising?

SPEAKER_02 (01:50:41):
Not at all.
Yeah, I know.
And so that's maybe the partthat people didn't realize is
that her objection to workingthere probably had a little to
do with the money, even thoughshe was getting paid way more
than she'd ever gotten paid inher entire life when she started
there.
And she took over a show thatalready existed, which also is
another thing most people don'trealize.

(01:51:03):
They thought that was like hershow they created.
No, that show had been createdprior to her, it just didn't do
very well.
And she definitely brought a lotof the uh energy to the show to
make it grow.
There's no denying that.
But I think part of it was justshe was basically given the
scripts to talk about things shedidn't really care about.

(01:51:27):
And you know, having this sortof a young, pretty actress
chick, because she was a childactress that talks about
conservative political topics isreally great for conservatives
going, oh, look at that, look atthat bright girl there.
But you know, if it'sdisingenuous, given the choice,

(01:51:52):
she would prefer other topics.

SPEAKER_01 (01:51:53):
If it's disingenuous, it's never gonna
work out long term.

SPEAKER_02 (01:51:56):
Yeah, because one of the people ain't gonna be happy.
Either she's gonna start doing ashitty job, which she didn't,
because she was a child actress.
I think she was well versed inplaying a role that maybe wasn't
exactly her.
That's the role she played onher show on Daily Wire.
And now that she's got her ownshow, she's free to do whatever
she wants.
It's just like Megan Kelly.

(01:52:17):
Megan Kelly, what did she dowhen she left Fox?
She cut all her hair off andstarted looking like a feminazi
bitch.

SPEAKER_01 (01:52:27):
I think she's got it back.

SPEAKER_02 (01:52:28):
She grew her hair back, and I think she she
realized after dipping her toeinto that content, into
basically the morning, you know,women's show to talk about women
topics and not actual politicaldiscourse, like they were
grooming her to be another theview type gal.

(01:52:49):
I think she realized that that'snot where her mindset was, and
that even though she hatesTrump, and even though she hated
all men for a while there afterleaving Fox, that maybe she was
wrong, and maybe men aren't asbad as she thought.
And that's when the hair startedgetting grown out again.

(01:53:09):
And so her new show that shestarted up as a podcast, I can't
remember who threw, but itwasn't it was not like she just
did it on her own, it wasthrough a channel with
professional management andeverything.
But that grew nicely, and even Ithink Adam Curry was a guest
once on there, maybe.

SPEAKER_01 (01:53:29):
Yeah, he has been.

SPEAKER_02 (01:53:31):
And he likes her.
I I just still dislike herpreviously from from her dislike
of Trump.
Like, I think that was a amoment where you realize that
she is just reading somebodyelse's scripts on Fox.
But when she gets to not readthe script, better she's a

(01:53:51):
neocon.
Well, either or she could be aneocon too, that's fine.
But it doesn't mean I need tolike her.
And so I don't like it.
But when she was on Fox, sheseemed likable.
You don't like well, I don'tknow.
I I generally like intelligentchicks, and she clearly has

(01:54:14):
always been intelligent.
I have never said that she wasdumb.
Unlike that other blonde chick,Laura something.
Laura Lumer.
No, no, no.
The the blonde Nazi looking one.

SPEAKER_01 (01:54:26):
Laura the one that married Trump Jr.

SPEAKER_02 (01:54:32):
No, no, no, that's Guilfoil.
No, the one that she alwayslooked like a training.
She did, I agree.
The one that interviewed Vivekand said, you know, I agree with
all your policies, but I couldnever vote for you because, you
know, you're Indian.
That chick.

SPEAKER_01 (01:54:52):
You know what I'm talking about?
No, not off the top of my head.
I'm blanking.

SPEAKER_02 (01:54:55):
Okay.
I'll look it up.
Vivek interview.
Wouldn't vote for you, Indian.
And I'm sure it'll tell meexactly who I'm looking for.
Anne Coulter is the lordship Iwas thinking of.
Yeah.

(01:55:16):
So Anne Coulter, who's been.
I I've always disliked her fromher personality, but not
necessarily her opinions.
Like a lot of her opinions Iagree with.

SPEAKER_01 (01:55:29):
She well, I mean, she called Trump's ascendancy
right on on the Bill Maher show.

SPEAKER_02 (01:55:34):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But she is not, she she wasdefinitely just makes me think
of the the bitchy girls in highschool, you know, the clicky
ones.
Like that's her in an adultform.

SPEAKER_01 (01:55:52):
Okay.

SPEAKER_02 (01:55:53):
So I'm never really like, but I don't know.
You know, we're not this hasnothing to do with sexism.
This is just professionallyrating women based on their
ability to host shows and thingsand be commentators.
That's what it's uh you know,totally legit.

(01:56:14):
I just thought I'd throw that inthere.
Okay.

SPEAKER_01 (01:56:17):
Anything else you want to cover, Gene?

SPEAKER_02 (01:56:19):
No, I was gonna say, and on that note, I think we can
wrap up this totally PG-ratedshow that we just did that
should not offend anybody on anystreaming service.

SPEAKER_01 (01:56:29):
Yeah, right.

SPEAKER_02 (01:56:30):
Can you believe that Unrelenting has been on YouTube
now for over a year without anytakedown notices?

SPEAKER_01 (01:56:36):
That's okay.
The only way that is true is ifyou have like five views.

SPEAKER_02 (01:56:42):
That could be, that could be.
I honestly, I'm not even one ofthem.
I don't subscribe to the channelmyself, but I I we put that up
on YouTube literally as a joketo see how many episodes it
would take before we get anotice for some policy that'd be
violated.
It's been like 18 months, andnothing and that's the thing

(01:57:05):
like viewership shouldn't matterto the AI that is doing
text-to-speech transcription forall these shows.
Like, I thought all they weredoing is keywords, like they're
saying, Oh, if you mentioncertain words, then we're gonna
flag your content.
But now I'm thinking maybeyou're right, maybe it is like
they don't even bother censoringanything until you get an

(01:57:27):
appreciably large number ofviews, yeah, until you've
reached some critical mass.
Yeah, so if you get a hundredthousand views, now their
algorithm's gonna go, oh, let'ssee what this guy's all about.
Because I know people havetalked about shows from previous
years all of a sudden getting itflagged.

SPEAKER_01 (01:57:45):
Well, Tim's Tim's was a good example of that.

SPEAKER_02 (01:57:48):
He did that as well, okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (01:57:49):
Yeah, the the his most popular show ever with uh
Alex Jones?
Yeah, Alex Jones.
Uh what's her name?
Blair White sitting on his BlairWhite, yeah.
And then and then Alex going onBlair White's show notes,
passing out.
Like I don't know what the stateof this and this is right during

(01:58:15):
Alex's divorce and all that.

SPEAKER_02 (01:58:17):
It's like he's happily married, okay, man.
Yeah, he gets a pass from me onany of this stuff.
I I think anybody are you tryingto fuck the you know the the
trans chick here, dude?
He's a very visual man, okay.
Well, and you know Blair.

SPEAKER_01 (01:58:39):
Yes.
The first thought when you seeBlair White is not tranny.

SPEAKER_02 (01:58:42):
No, you're like, oh, look at the boobs on that chick.

SPEAKER_01 (01:58:44):
Yes.

SPEAKER_02 (01:58:47):
So it's not until you start digging deeper that
you're oh, oh, that's a dude.
Oh okay.
Yeah, but but it it's and likeshe hasn't said that, but others
have said this.
If the majority of people thatare trans acted like and looked

(01:59:08):
like Blair White, no one, yes,no one would have said a damn
thing about anything, it wouldjust be a non-issue.
Agreed.
No one cares, looks like achick, acts like a chick.

SPEAKER_01 (01:59:22):
When Ben Shapiro says, Hey, I'm not gonna go to a
restaurant and say, has hearrived when talking about Blair
White?
Yeah, is a perfect example ofthis.

SPEAKER_02 (01:59:33):
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
So a conservative Jew who wearsa yarmulke all the time, when he
and homosexuality, as you wellknow, is is not kosher.
When he has no problem withBlair, that tells you something.

SPEAKER_01 (01:59:51):
You know, it's the Zionists are out to get us, is
what it tells me.

SPEAKER_02 (01:59:57):
Yeah, yeah, obviously.
That's it's gotta be like clear.
Clearly, the Jews support thetrans.
Just look at look at that Shabirguy.
Exactly.
Found the one Jew and the onethe one trans chick that people
don't have a problem with.
And it's like, yep, they'rethey're responsible for all
trans.

SPEAKER_01 (02:00:15):
Yeah.
Actually, you know, you know,dude, I've actually been going
back through the gospels.
Like I I I started off with Johnfor some reason.

SPEAKER_02 (02:00:25):
Okay.

SPEAKER_01 (02:00:26):
And now I've gone back through Mark.

SPEAKER_02 (02:00:28):
And you're gonna do Luke next.

SPEAKER_01 (02:00:32):
Mark is my favorite.
So I don't know.
I don't know where I'm gonna go,what I'm gonna do, but you know,
every time I hear, you know, orevery time I read Give Us
Barabbas, it's just like but youknow, it it things have to
happen.

SPEAKER_02 (02:00:49):
Are you audio booking or are you actually
reading?

SPEAKER_01 (02:00:51):
No, I'm so I'm reading, and then I found this.

SPEAKER_02 (02:00:54):
Oh, and then I gotta I gotta ask you because now this
is a big big thing.
Which version?

SPEAKER_01 (02:01:00):
So reading, I'm reading KJV.

SPEAKER_02 (02:01:02):
Okay.

SPEAKER_01 (02:01:03):
It's what I grew up on.
I use a strong concordance,learned quite a bit of Greek and
Aramaic from that over theyears.
But what's interesting is I didfind this podcast on YouTube
where I'm I'm sure it's an AIvoice, but it's a damn good one
if it is that's going through,and like there's campfire noises

(02:01:28):
in the background, and it's verysoftly reading to you, and it
it's it's fantastic to sit thereand fall asleep to.
Nice.
Like it is very like you wouldeven probably enjoy just the the
AMSR of it all.
I'm trying to look through myhistory, but it's not showing me
enough on my view all.

SPEAKER_02 (02:01:48):
There we go.
It's been a damn long time sinceI read the New Testament.
Like a very long time.

SPEAKER_01 (02:01:54):
The Gentle Bible is the uh channel, and it's it's
I'm not sure what versionthey're using.
I'm sure it's one of the NewInternationals or something,
which whatever.
You know, it's it's just a wayof doing it.
And they they go through some ofthe New Testament, they go
through Psalms, they it's it'san interesting thing.
So but it just it's a fantastic.
Like I'm uh if I'm gonna fallasleep listening to something,

(02:02:17):
not a bad way to go.

SPEAKER_02 (02:02:20):
Yeah, yeah.
It's uh I can see that if it'sdone well.
A lot of people say my voice isvery relaxing and they instantly
fall asleep when they startlistening to my podcasts or my
videos on on YouTube.

SPEAKER_01 (02:02:36):
Interesting.

SPEAKER_02 (02:02:37):
I take that as a great compliment.

SPEAKER_01 (02:02:39):
They must be drunk.

SPEAKER_02 (02:02:41):
Well, or maybe smoking pot.
But no, I think I do have afairly unobstructive voice.
I don't know how to phrase it.
Like my voice doesn't try andit's the opposite of Alex Jones.
It's uh it's the opposite ofAlex Jones.
Like, forget the content, justlooking at the voice itself,

(02:03:04):
like his voice is very gruff,rah rah rah, you know?

SPEAKER_01 (02:03:07):
Yours is more melodic.

SPEAKER_02 (02:03:08):
Mine is more melodic.
I and I've always kind ofdislike that.
I've always wanted to have avoice like Darren, frankly.
That deep kind of radio voice.
Yeah, and and honestly, I thinkafter getting hundreds,

(02:03:29):
literally hundreds of commentstalking about how people like my
voice, I've I've stopped hatingit myself.
Because you, you know, the voiceI hear in my head sounds
different, obviously, than wheneverybody else hears.

SPEAKER_01 (02:03:42):
Yeah, I I just you know, I don't I I've never liked
the way my voice sounds onrecordings, but I really don't
give a shit.
Yeah, and I think you're yours.

SPEAKER_02 (02:03:53):
I would say it's very middle of the road.
It's I I don't say I don't thinkit's one way or the other.
Like you've got a normal, decentvoice.
It's not a voice that I waslike, oh my god, you have a
great like I think Darren'svoice quality is better than
yours from a subjectivestandpoint for me.
Other people may like yours morethan his, but I've always liked

(02:04:15):
listening to radio, and I'vealways been a big radio guy.
I've always liked listening toguys that have very deep kind of
masculine sounding voices.
Okay.
So it is what it is, and and uhI think we all tend to be our

(02:04:35):
own harshest critics andeverything.
People may not believe me,knowing that I you know pump my
own horn quite a bit, but I amdefinitely my my harshest
critic.

SPEAKER_01 (02:04:48):
Well, I I think you have to be.
If you're not if you're notwilling to criticize yourself,
I'm just not willing to losethat title, that's all.
Well, no, it's not even that.
It's if you're not willing to becritical of yourself, then how
can you ever possibly stand upto others?

SPEAKER_02 (02:05:03):
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, yeah.
You you do want to analyze whatyour decisions and choices and
everything else are, and uh notbe afraid to say, well, this was
a bad decision.
And and even hopefully not makethe same decision again.
So let's wrap up the show so Ican make a bad decision and play

(02:05:26):
a little more battlefield here.

SPEAKER_01 (02:05:28):
All right, Gene.
Well, we'll catch you next week.
Sounds good.
