00:08:28.000They started doing that like 20 or 30 years ago.
00:08:32.000Military was never part of sports before, but then the military wanted to recruit, and they said, where can we find young men that are kind of physical?
00:08:40.000And they said sporting events, and so they started marketing sporting events.
00:15:55.000Yeah, we had these two puppies that were siblings that we adopted together, and they were rescues.
00:16:00.000And one of them is the fucking nicest dog in the world, and the other one we had to send back because we had kids, and it was biting fucking everybody.
00:16:23.000But it's amazing when you raise kids, though, and you ask yourself these questions about the nature of human development, and you get to watch them, and it's like, I don't understand...
00:16:37.000Why my father was not more interested in us as kids.
00:16:40.000There's nothing I am more curious about over the last 20 years than watching every second of my kids' development and seeing the choices they make and how they become who they are.
00:16:50.000I mean, nothing comes close to that being that interesting.
00:16:53.000I think it's our generation responding to the sort of lackadaisical effort that our previous generation put in.
00:17:54.000And my grandfather, my mother's father, who's the one I most relate to, he's the relative I feel the strongest kinship to, because I knew him the best.
00:18:04.000He was one of 13. He was the youngest of 13 in Ireland.
00:18:08.000They lived in a fucking two-room mud house.
00:18:11.000And they would save up money, and they'd send one kid over at a time.
00:18:15.000And the kids that got over to the U.S. would send money back to Ireland.
00:18:20.000I don't know if they do this in Italy, but in Ireland, the oldest daughter stays behind with the parents.
00:21:05.000No, 60 Minutes did a piece on the basement of the Vatican where they have all these archives of just drawer after drawer of Byzantine tiled art and oil paintings and sketches.
00:21:21.000And that shit, you want to talk about pay every kid that's been molested, give him a fucking painting.
00:21:30.000They should just have an open house where if you've been molested, you get a wristband, you go in, and you get to leave with one piece of art.
00:21:40.000That's the darkest part about the Catholic religion, that everyone knows.
00:21:44.000Everyone knows it's connected to child molesting.
00:23:15.000She wasn't really making anybody sit on the nail.
00:23:17.000She was just saying she was going to make you sit on the nail.
00:23:19.000She was just terrifying and just terrorizing little kids.
00:23:22.000But the glee that she had, the way she would...
00:23:26.000And then it just took a while for me to...
00:23:28.000And it kind of killed my interest in religion.
00:23:33.000Because when my parents broke up, I was five.
00:23:36.000And I remember being really into God then, because I wanted things to make sense.
00:23:42.000Because I was five years old, and all of a sudden, I'd seen my dad hit my mom, and then it was scary.
00:23:48.000My dad yelling at my mom, and he hits her, and then we run out of the house, we flee, and all of a sudden, now we're staying with my grandparents.
00:24:01.000I was looking for order and for someone who was like a leader because clearly I saw what my dad did and in my eyes I had immediately written him off.
00:24:13.000I was like, well, he's a piece of shit.
00:24:19.000She brought home hamburger meat for dinner and he got mad that she brought home hamburger for dinner and he smacked her in the head and knocked her down.
00:24:52.000So then I got really into religion and I was talking about God all the time and I was trying to read the Bible and I was looking forward to going to Catholic school because in my mind that represented order.
00:25:05.000And then I went there and that cunt just fucking chased it all out of me.
00:25:10.000By the time I was done, I was like, there's no way these people know God.
00:25:14.000Well, the nuns are not the ones that should be the face of the church, especially with kids.
00:25:21.000And my mother went to Catholic school in the Bronx and got the shit kicked out of her.
00:27:18.000You did, and that's a shame because I'm not completely...
00:27:22.000The Catholic Church gave me a lot, and I definitely went for the ride a lot longer than you did, and I feel like it did order the universe for me in a big way.
00:27:32.000And then I was devastated when I was a teenager, and I realized that it was Such a lie!
00:27:37.000It really fucked me up existentially for a while.
00:27:42.000In high school, we took a class called The Bible as World Literature, and it traced all the major parables in the Bible.
00:27:51.000Noah's Ark, the Garden of Eden, two previous pagan texts that had existed for hundreds of years before the Bible was written or Christ came.
00:30:17.000Fascinating that a man who lived almost 2,000 years ago was so in tuned with all of the basic aspects of being a person, all the pitfalls of ego and of courage and of seeking knowledge and of balance,
00:30:43.000It is, and like a lot of it, there's been a renaissance of, he's come back, because a lot of it is like, I go to therapy and the thing I do is cognitive behavioral therapy, which is basically looking at your thoughts And realizing that your thoughts are not your reality.
00:31:04.000Yeah, he said that, one of the great quotes that I put up on my Instagram, he said that your happiness is directly connected to the quality of your thinking.
00:31:29.000You know, we have this interpretation of what they did and didn't do based on literature and also the amount of literature that we have, relatively speaking, compared to what we have about today.
00:31:40.000Like, we have versions of life today by people that we don't agree with.
00:31:44.000We would read these versions of life today and we go, well, this is not accurate.
00:31:47.000But if someone finds these versions of what life is today, a thousand, two thousand years from now, they're going to read it and they're going to go, oh, this is how people felt.
00:31:59.000It's not necessarily accurate because you just have a small amount of people that are relaying this information.
00:32:06.000Whereas today, you have so many people relaying this information.
00:32:11.000So when you read about what life was like 2,000 years ago from one person's perspective, it always makes me wonder how many different schools of thought were there back then.
00:32:21.000There's people today that are extremely close-minded, extremely cynical, they have very negative ways of thinking, and this is how they go through life.
00:32:30.000If you read that guy's journal, if you wrote a journal and then it got passed down thousands of years later, they read it like, oh, this is how people looked at the world back then.
00:32:44.000But then some other person's eating healthy food and doing yoga and going to charities and giving people love and attention and trying to make the world a better place.
00:33:02.000History of the Americas, and it's basically, it's the history of America, but told from different perspectives of the Native American, of the slave.
00:33:11.000And it's very interesting because it is like, wow, this is the same group of events, but seen in a completely different way.
00:35:39.000Will Smith is as much royalty in America, kind of tainted now, like severely tainted, but before that moment where he walked on that stage and slapped Chris Rock in the face, Within minutes, he was about to win an Oscar,
00:37:28.000Yeah, I think there was some history there because he had also made some jokes about when the Black Lives Matter thing happened, she boycotted the Oscars.
00:38:21.000So if the producer of Friends just calls you up and says, hey, we would love to have a show wrapped around you, you're going to be like, no, I want to do independent films.
00:38:41.000And you're telling me you don't want to do a television show.
00:38:45.000But that was a thing back then for serious actors.
00:38:49.000Until these shows like Sopranos and all the Netflix shows and Game of Thrones, these serial shows that proved to be more in-depth, more dynamic, more interesting, more captivating, They have so much more time to develop plot lines and characters.
00:39:08.000Game of Thrones is better than any movie that's ever existed.
00:39:13.000And also as an actor, to get a role like James Gandolfini got and said, okay, here's a role.
00:39:20.000We can either do this for two hours once, and we can try to have a character arc happen there, or we can do it for ten years, and this character will go to all...
00:39:29.000You can explore different facets of this character, and we've got a staff of genius writers that'll come up with stuff.
00:39:35.000I mean, what an adventure for an actor to go through that.
00:40:36.000I feel even stronger that awards are nonsense after watching the Oscars allow Will Smith to go on stage and receive an Oscar and give a speech.
00:40:47.000After he assaulted someone on television.
00:42:10.000Tarantino was telling me about an old Hollywood producer that had an office with a bedroom in it.
00:42:17.000And he would take the starlets, they would come into his office, and he would literally open up a bedroom, and he had a bed right there, and he would fuck them.
00:43:13.000I know that Jerry Lewis got in trouble, and a woman came out and said, it was standard that if you worked with Jerry Lewis, you went in his dressing room and you had sex with him.
00:43:22.000If you were cast as the girlfriend in his new movie, and she was brought into his trailer, and he just basically fucking took his pants off and expected it.
00:43:32.000I can't remember if she actually had sex with him or not, but she said that that was the standard.
00:44:05.000It was about the executives and all the people that put the money into the movies, and they would all hobnob and they would all bang the actresses.
00:44:17.000And plus, when it was the studio system and you got hired for a three-year contract, you were having sex with the head of the studio for that.
00:44:31.000If you think about it, we've discussed this before, but the business itself is so insane because you take people that are incredibly insecure, and generally speaking, most of them were either ignored or they had some sort of childhood trauma that leads them to seek out exorbitant amounts of attention.
00:44:47.000Not just regular amounts of attention, but exorbitant.
00:44:49.000I'm sure there's very healthy people that want to act, and I've met healthy people that are actors.
00:44:54.000But it's hard to make it in that business.
00:44:57.000And the people that really, really, really want it and find a way to fucking network their way and do the politics thing and get through the real fucking sociopaths that get through to the golden handle of the I made it door and turn that knob.
00:45:16.000That is the worst environment for them.
00:45:19.000You're going into a place where you get chosen or not chosen.
00:45:23.000And most of the time you don't get chosen.
00:45:25.000So basically they're deciding whether they like you in real time.
00:45:29.000And you walk in there and you hope they like you and most of the time they don't.
00:45:33.000So every time you get rejected, you just get shot down further and further and further.
00:45:38.000And then you see people who do make it and you get more and more resentment.
00:45:41.000And then some fat fuck like Harvey Weinstein comes along and offers you.
00:45:46.000Listen, I can guarantee you an Academy Award.
00:45:49.000You just gotta guarantee I'd nut in your mouth.
00:45:52.000Irish film star Maureen O'Hara today charged Hollywood producers and directors with calling her a cold potato without sex appeal because she refuses to let them make love to her, says the Mirror New York correspondent.
00:46:05.000I'm so upset with it that I am ready to quit Hollywood, Maureen says.
00:46:09.000It's got so bad, I hate to come to work in the mornings.
00:46:14.000I'm a helpless victim of a Hollywood whispering campaign because I don't let the producer and director kiss me every morning or let them paw me.
00:46:22.000They have spread word around town that I am not a woman, that I am a cold piece of marble statuary.
00:46:28.000I guess Hollywood won't consider me as anything except a cold hunk of marble until I divorce my husband, give my baby away and get my name and photograph in all the newspapers.
00:46:39.000If that's Hollywood's idea of being a woman, I'm ready to quit now.
00:56:36.000Lenny Bruce, who without him, neither one of us would be here.
00:56:39.000In my feeling, he is the OG. He's the godfather.
00:56:45.000He's the guy who figured out how to take social and cultural issues and just a unique take on life and explain it in a way that blew people away.
00:57:07.000And the way he went off the rails at the end with all the legal stuff, it was a testament to the fact that he was going to be true to whatever was going on in his head.
00:57:18.000And it was a shame because that wasn't going through everybody else's head.
00:57:43.000That ground has been tread upon by so many people since then that it's like the things that he's saying that are groundbreaking are just normal things to us today.
00:58:16.000He was a maverick and he was a brilliant guy who saw things and knew that there was a way to talk about them on stage that would change people's opinions of these things.
00:58:29.000Change the way people saw these subjects.
00:58:31.000And the way to do that is to make them laugh about them.
00:58:56.000By the time you're a 54-year-old man today, the amount of exposure you've had to different styles of living and ways of life and philosophies and different...
00:59:06.000There's just like so much texture to society and life that just doesn't seem to exist back then because of the time.
00:59:18.000Man, if I had a fucking time machine and I could just sit unobserved and just watch a Lenny Bruce performance and be in the crowd in 1964...
00:59:45.000They're different kinds of humans, man, and you see it in film.
00:59:50.000And also, as a comedian, it's so hard for us to break through what people have already seen.
00:59:56.000And like you said, it's a more limited...
00:59:59.000People were of the same ilk back then.
01:00:03.000They were predominantly the same races and the same repressive society that they were living in.
01:00:09.000And to go into an oppressive society and break down those mores in front of them in a funny way You can't do that today the same way because everything's already been exploited and been challenged and the lines have all been crossed.
01:00:22.000But the line was so much richer back then.
01:00:25.000To go into that territory and fuck with it was powerful.
01:00:31.000Did you ever see that movie yesterday?
01:04:37.000She did a bit where she said, we need to do testing.
01:04:40.000The COVID committee said that we have to randomly test some people.
01:04:43.000And so she calls up all the hunky guys on stage and she starts frisking them in a way that you go like digging her hand into their assholes.
01:04:57.000And all anybody could think was like, could I bring Nicole Kidman up on stage and start patting her down in front of millions of people for a laugh?
01:12:08.000I remember you got attacked in Boston, you fought the guy off, they pulled the guy off stage, and then you went, alright, who else wants some?
01:12:17.000You savaged the whole show by saying that.
01:12:21.000Because instead of everybody being like, oh my god, I can't believe this guy just attacked Greg, you cracked a joke, everybody started laughing, and you rolled right back into your act.
01:13:56.000Well, you know what he would have said.
01:13:57.000He would have went into her infidelity and, you know, the public humiliation of him being on her podcast and talking about her fucking her son's friend.
01:16:27.000Because there's a lot of successful people in Hollywood, and I'm sure whatever industry you're in out there, listeners, Where the asshole wins.
01:16:37.000The person that will make everybody else uncomfortable and will keep it up, most people will fold in the face of that and they will put up with it because they don't want to be uncomfortable anymore.
01:16:49.000And if you're in a situation like the Harvey Weinstein situation where everybody relies on that person, that was the different situation there because he was the producer of these films.
01:16:58.000He was the one who gave the green light.
01:18:17.000When it ends, I have to shake myself out of the experience I was just in.
01:18:22.000And that's how he brings you into a world, and it's the dialogue, it's the specificity of the dialogue, it's the energy of the music, his soundtracks are incredible, his casting, you know, he's found his stable of people that he believes in,
01:20:25.000When they get those hookers and they're in the motel room and the TV's on and they're both having sex right next to each other on twin beds.
01:24:30.000I also know, as a married guy, if I'm alone in a room with a girl that age, and she's touching me or whatever, it's time to stand up, take myself out of a dangerous situation.
01:24:42.000Well, first of all, if she's 15, you should never be alone with a 15-year-old in a bedroom in a hotel somewhere.
01:26:25.000It was never 21. It's always been 18. To say that it's lowered, making it legal for males and females 18 years old to marry without parental consent, that's just marry.
01:26:36.000It's definitely never been 21 to have sex.
01:27:12.000Right, but I don't think it was ever 21. What that's saying is that it was 21. I can't imagine that there was ever an age of sexual consent that was 21 in America.
01:28:10.000Didn't Elvis, when he married his wife, wasn't she like 14 when he hooked up with her?
01:28:16.000I think when they met she was like 14, and then they dated, and then I'm not sure how old, I think she was like 17 when they got married, but they dated, and she went overseas when he was in the army.
01:28:38.000Jerry Lee Lewis with his cousin, with his 13-year-old cousin.
01:28:42.000I typed in, I added a few more words, and it was still words at the same way.
01:28:47.000Age of consent intercourse in the U.S. in 1976. In 1929, the age of consent for marriage, sexual intercourse, was raised to 16 years old for both females and males.
01:28:57.000So it used to be younger than 16. So in 1970, the age of majority was lowered from...
01:29:03.000See, the age of majority, though, is a different thing.
01:32:40.000Maybe they found new guys and maybe they, you know, because when a woman gets remarried, generally speaking, you don't have to pay her anymore.
01:33:15.000She lives in his old, amazing house in the Palisades.
01:33:18.000This is a fucking spectacular house, this gorgeous view.
01:33:20.000She lives in that house with her boyfriend, and she has to pretend the boyfriend doesn't live there.
01:33:26.000So every time someone goes to inspect, the boyfriend literally has to get a fucking U-Haul, throw all his shit in it, and drive down the street, because they know when the inspection's gonna come.
01:33:35.000The inspection comes, they look around, no guy lives here, and then as soon as they leave, he comes back, unloads his shit back in the house, and he'll never marry her, because if he marries her, the gravy train stops.
01:33:47.000So your buddy, he's paying for the whole...
01:33:50.000Hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.
01:33:53.000Hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.
01:35:32.000Because women have had children and women raise the children and traditionally one of the things that goes along with alimony is the fact this woman is taking care of your kids.
01:36:47.000A guy doing that, an able-bodied man, it's not like she did something to him where he sued her and made a lot of money because she did something horrible and he won in civil court.
01:37:08.000Dude, I'm so glad, as I know you are, to have met a woman that I know I will never divorce, that I'll never— I have friends that have gone through it, and it's crippling.
01:37:19.000Take three years of your life and just say, okay, I'm going to be miserable because I'm going to be dealing with lawyers and betrayal and— That's the thing about my friend.
01:37:27.000It was worse because he had to hire her lawyer.
01:38:00.000It must be so amazing, because we've all had breakups, and you start to see a side of a person that when you were with them, you didn't see before.
01:38:47.000I mean, what's interesting is the idea of a gold digger.
01:38:55.000It's an incredibly financially lucrative endeavor.
01:38:59.000Like, if you're a woman, and say, if you could find some really crinkly old dude and trick him into thinking you really love him, how much time has he got left?
01:39:07.000What if you got some billionaire character who runs some fucking oil business and he's worked, you know, like J. Howard Marshall and Anna Nicole Smith?
01:39:39.000They figure out how to maximize their profits and how to make the best deals and you get together and strategize on how to conquer the segment of the marketplace and all that stuff.
01:40:14.000And I knew eventually I'd be alone with him.
01:40:16.000There's stories like that where you're like, wow, this is wild how this woman slowly connived her way into this old rich guy's life and then tricked this dude into thinking that she loved him.
01:44:56.000Is the conniving woman who is very attractive, who cons an unattractive rich man into marrying her, and then she divorces him and makes exorbitant amount of money.
01:47:50.000But if he was a guy like Bill Gates, who's kind of a nerdy dude who's worth a fuckton of money, and some bombshell comes along and starts hanging out with him and brushing her tits against his arm when she's reaching for a pen, you know, like the standard moves,
01:48:06.000becomes buddy-buddy with him, would just...
01:48:10.000Let's just go on a vacation together as friends.
01:49:28.000I think it takes a personality that is, like you said, like you don't think you deserve good dick or good pussy and all of a sudden it comes to you.
01:49:37.000But it's way more common with the woman doing it to the man.
01:49:46.000But it's also, as a scam, it's more common, way more common, to have like a hot young woman connive and trick some old man into marrying her.
01:49:58.000Rich old man, she won't have to worry.
01:52:22.000I mean, I get while unemployment was running around, there was an issue because like one of my friends said that he had this guy who was a bartender that used to work for him and he wanted to hire him back again, but the guy said I could only work 20 hours a week.
01:52:46.000Which is crazy, because he could have made more money In an honest way, by actually working all the time.
01:52:52.000He's like, nah, I'll just take that free money until it runs out.
01:52:56.000And part of it is like, people are exploring different lifestyles now.
01:53:01.000I think that the pandemic made people stop and go like, oh, what do I really want to do with my life?
01:53:08.000And now they're coming out of it and they're saying, do I want to be exploited by a shitty job or do I want to get some unemployment and fucking sketch for another month or two?
01:53:17.000Yeah, I think that's the best aspect of the pandemic was the fact that it made people sort of recalibrate what's important in their life, what to do with their time.
01:53:28.000It made people think like, you know, someone who maybe wanted to pursue some sort of artistic endeavor and they got to do it, you know, and get it going during the pandemic.
01:53:38.000And then when it's over, they just said, let's go for it.
01:53:43.000That's a good thing, if you could do that.
01:53:46.000I mean, so many people played it safe in their life and got these jobs that paid the bills, but they lived in misery.
01:53:54.000And they always wanted to do this other thing, whatever that other thing was.
01:53:58.000So if that happened with some folks, that's probably the best thing that happened from the pandemic.
01:54:03.000Yeah, it'll be interesting to see if, like, you know, it was like after the Depression, you know, this economy got really strong for a while.
01:54:50.000So that was when people were talking about the roaring 20s of 2020, that that was going to be a response to the pandemic, that being locked down for two years is going to make people seek as much freedom as possible post 2020, which is kind of true with some people.
01:55:07.000Some people are, like we were saying, pursuing jobs that they maybe didn't think they could pursue before or some sort of an artistic path of life.
01:55:19.000And I think streamlining their lives and realizing they don't need to eat out three nights a week and they don't need to take a trip to Disneyland and instead they start to do things that are cheaper and simpler and they don't need as much income.
01:55:32.000And also, you know, the working from home thing changed a lot of people too.
01:55:37.000Because there's been many people that have said they're more productive, they're happier, and it's easier to work from home.
01:55:45.000All you really need is an internet connection and a computer.
01:55:47.000You know, how often do you need to physically be in an office for your job?
01:55:52.000What jobs require you to be physically in your office?
01:55:57.000Well, there is something to be said for the water cooler talk, that there is like ideas pollinate, cross-pollinate in an office where you're working on a project, he's working on a project, you realize that there's something symbiotic that can happen between you and...
01:56:10.000So I think that physical brushing up against each other, depending on the company, is useful.
01:56:15.000But if you're doing pure sales, you may be able to just do that from home without having to waste two hours a day commuting.
01:56:23.000And then the amount of meetings they get called just because people fucking call meetings because they can and they waste your time and you're not doing those.
01:56:31.000Yeah, there's a lot of people that are pushing back against coming back to the office and they're angry about it, you know?
01:56:52.000I see that there could be probably some jobs where you benefit from being there physically.
01:56:57.000But I could also see where if you're a disciplined person and you're productive at home, the problem is like how many guys are beaten off in front of their fucking camera during Zoom?
01:57:35.000How much discipline do you think people really have when you just leave them at home with their computer?
01:57:40.000I remember Louis said something about the way he writes, that he writes on a computer that's not connected to the internet because he doesn't want to be distracted.
01:58:20.000It's a timer on your phone, and after 20 minutes or 25 minutes, you can set it.
01:58:24.000It goes off, and then you have five minutes to check your emails, to do Wordle, whatever the fuck you want to do for five minutes, and then you start the next 20-minute period.
01:58:33.000I swear to God, I have ADD, and it fucking works for me, man.
01:58:37.000I get so much shit done when I do the Pomodoro technique.
01:58:42.000Because if you just sit down in front of a computer and just try to write, you get distracted.
02:00:24.000The more keyboard travel it is, the more your finger knows it's registering, you're pressing it, and then you get into a rhythm of where everything is and it's effortless.
02:02:31.000Thinkpads are fucking durable as shit.
02:02:34.000You get trapped into the Mac ecosystem, which I most certainly am with some stuff, like iPhotos and all that kind of jazz.
02:02:43.000There's benefits to that, but there's also a lot of benefits to not being on that nipple.
02:02:49.000And the big one is that you have access to different hardware.
02:02:53.000All your hardware, if you have an Apple, essentially is controlled by Apple, except external stuff like USB keyboards and things along those lines, wireless keyboards, Bluetooth keyboards.
02:03:04.000But for the most part, most people probably just use the keyboard.
02:03:08.000If you buy an iMac, use the keyboard that comes with it.
02:03:11.000That little bullshit white keyboard, the clickety-clackety-clickety.
02:03:15.000The experience of typing on those is not good.
02:03:18.000You want a fucking keyboard where your hands sit there and you press keys.
02:03:23.000And then you get into that rhythm and it just...
02:03:27.000You can think and type and it just comes out so much smoother.
02:03:32.000They've done studies that show that people that have like more keyboard travel and they've like tested their amount of errors and how many words they can type per minute and it's higher.
02:03:42.000It's higher when you have more travel.
02:03:44.000Yeah, there's something that should be a visceral experience.
02:03:48.000Some people still write on, you know, like Seinfeld famously still writes on yellow legal pads, and there's something about the speed that you can write.
02:03:59.000Yeah, you think maybe a little bit more deliberately and a little more slowly, and so the words you're putting down might be a better version of the joke than if you were typing really fast.
02:04:35.000So I still, after all these years, don't have an exact process that gets me to that one hour where I've got the one hour of material in one document that's all up to date.
02:04:46.000One of the things that I was using that I haven't used lately, but I was using it when I was preparing for my last special, and maybe even the special before that, was Scrivener.
02:06:22.000So focus mode is you just press that and all you see is the screen goes black and all you see is white text on a black screen, which I like.
02:07:16.000So anytime when I would open up Scrivener, I would have my set list on the left-hand column and each individual bit I'd have written out, which helps me a lot.
02:07:26.000Because I used to just have bullet points, but sometimes I'd forget tags.
02:07:30.000So it would help me just to memorize stuff.
02:08:00.000So I'll get there an hour plus before the show and I sit down with Sharpie and index cards and I write out all my bits that I'm going to do.
02:09:14.000I was on stage one night, and then, you know, at the OR, they'll hand you a piece of paper sometimes, because there's a guest that wasn't on the schedule, and I opened it up, and it was, what's his name?
02:11:08.000That's an interesting perspective because I saw a lot of hot takes after the Oscars where I was like, it is amazing to me how many dummies think that Will Smith was justified for assaulting a guy for the most mild joke ever.
02:13:10.000Like, Alec Baldwin shooting that woman on set, and then there's video of him talking about it openly, like, days later, on the side of a highway.
02:13:20.000Like, they got a camera in his face, like, it's a terrible tragedy, and he's out there talking.
02:13:24.000He's not even talking to, like, fucking regular reporters.
02:13:37.000And then he'll go do a podcast and talk about it.
02:13:41.000His wife has a podcast, and everybody's just talking.
02:13:44.000It's like all of the mystery of what a movie star is, is gone.
02:13:51.000When you hear their goofy takes on things, When people have these hot takes on politics, and you listen to an actor talk, you're saying, man, shut the fuck up.
02:16:05.000That's one of the dumbest things a person's ever said.
02:16:08.000Like, maybe an earthquake which killed who knows how many thousands of people who are subjects to this fucking communist regime, totalitarian regime.
02:16:18.000Stone earthquake in China was karma for Tibet.
02:16:22.000Sharon Stone facing a ban on the showing of her films in China after suggesting that the recent earthquake that killed up to 67,000 people may have been the result of bad karma over the country's occupation of Tibet.
02:16:35.000No, look, if the fucking head of the CCP, if an asteroid hit him in the fucking head, like, maybe that's karma.
02:17:00.000The senator that pushed through that don't say gay thing in Florida, his house was taken out by a tornado or something, and then afterwards there was a photo taken and there was a rainbow.
02:17:11.000There was a rainbow over where his house used to be.
02:24:20.000When you're taking ayahuasca or you're smoking DMT, they play these songs...
02:24:25.000And when you listen to these songs, these hallucinogens, they sync up with the music.
02:24:33.000So the visions that you have sync up with the music, and you'll watch these entities dance to the beat of the music, completely in tune with it.
02:27:11.000The shamanistic practice of the ayahuasca ceremony is ancient.
02:27:16.000But like a lot of these ancient things, it gets tainted by modernity, you know, because like different people give their own interpretations of it and different people have their own ways of doing it.
02:27:26.000They don't even know how people even figured out how to make it.
02:27:30.000You know, the history of ayahuasca use is thousands of years old, and they don't have any idea how these people figure this out.
02:27:38.000Because it's a complicated pharmacological sort of a situation.
02:27:42.000You're taking one plant that makes dimethyltryptamine, and then you're taking another plant and combining it with it, and this plant has an MAO inhibitor, which is monoamine oxidase.
02:27:55.000So monoamine oxidase is something that's produced by your gut.
02:27:58.000And when you orally take DMT, the monoamine oxidase, it destroys the effect of DMT. And the thought behind that is there's a lot of things that people eat.
02:28:12.000That have naturally occurring dimethyltryptamine in it.
02:28:15.000There's a lot of grasses and a lot of different plants.
02:28:19.000It exists in thousands of plants and animals.
02:28:22.000And so if you were just eating these things, you'd be tripping balls all the time.
02:28:26.000This is the thought behind it, in that your gut produces monoamine oxidase.
02:28:31.000So when you take an MAO inhibitor and you mix it with dimethyltryptamine, then you have orally active DMT, which generally speaking doesn't exist other than that.
02:28:42.000When you get DMT from a smokable form, then it goes straight to your blood, and then the effect is almost instantaneous.
02:28:51.000When you smoke DMT, 15, 20 seconds later, you're in the center of the universe.
02:28:57.000About 15 minutes, I would say, like fully tripping balls for about 15 minutes, and then the next five, you're like trying to figure out what the fuck just happened.
02:30:42.000I've had dreams before where I was talking to dead friends, and I always wondered.
02:30:46.000I had a dream once where I was having a long conversation with Phil Hartman, and it was after he was murdered.
02:30:52.000And then Phil Hartman was explaining to me that he and his wife worked it out, you know, and that, you know, like, oh, you know, he was like laughing about it in the way like Phil Hartman was.
02:32:25.000But they do know that the psychedelic chemicals that you release...
02:32:30.000While you're in heavy REM sleep, they think are very closely related to the same psychedelic chemicals you have when you trip.
02:32:38.000So it puts you physically into a dream state.
02:32:42.000It's very similar because your brain is producing psychedelic chemicals during heavy REM sleep.
02:32:47.000They just don't know exactly how much.
02:32:50.000It's complicated because in order to find out that there was always anecdotal evidence that the pineal gland produced DMT. They know that the pineal gland now, they know it produces DMT. But there was guesswork before.
02:33:04.000They knew that it was produced in the human body, they know it's produced by the liver, and they know it's produced by the lungs.
02:33:10.000But they didn't know if it was produced by the pineal gland until the Cottonwood Research Foundation, which is a foundation that's run by these folks in, I think it's in New Mexico.
02:33:24.000Rick Strassman, who's the guy who wrote DMT, The Spirit Molecule, he's a scholar who was the first guy to get FDA approval to do dimethyltryptamine studies with people.
02:33:39.000And so he did these studies with people, and that's like one of the things that they were working on.
02:33:53.000I think the book probably came out in 2002. I got a study in 2018. I think it's talking about something from 2011. 2011 was when they found out that DMT was produced by the pineal gland, for sure.
02:34:08.000So this Cottonwood Research Foundation, which Strassman works with, they did these studies with rats.
02:34:14.000And rats are allowed to cut their heads open and fucking just stick probes in them while they're alive.
02:34:18.000And they found out that rats' pineal glands actually do produce DMT. So they've proven it, at least in these mammals.
02:34:26.000So it exists in nature, in different grasses and seeds and whatever, but then it also is produced.
02:34:32.000The same chemical is also produced by different organs in your body.
02:34:35.000It's produced by the organ that is literally the third eye.
02:34:39.000Your pineal gland, in some reptiles, it actually has a retina and a lens.
02:35:12.000The eye of Ra, if you look at that and look at the cross-section of the human brain in relation to the pineal gland, where the eyeball is in the eye of Ra is exactly what the pineal gland looks like in a cross-section of the human brain.
02:35:27.000So this third eye that everybody always equates with enlightenment, right?
02:35:34.000And, you know, you look at Buddhas, they have third eyes.
02:35:36.000Like, that Buddha right there has a third eye, that little Buddha on my counter.
02:35:40.000This is literally the area where your brain produces this psychedelic chemical, DMT. That's amazing.
02:35:51.000So if they can figure out how to extract that from your brain, they can use it.
02:35:57.000I mean, it seems like there would be therapeutic uses for DMT to open people up to...
02:36:02.000It seems like your brain is almost triggering you to feel certain emotions.
02:36:06.000Like if you had feelings about Phil Hartman that were unresolved, that it is basically activating parts of your brain that will let you emotionally deal with that when you're ready.
02:36:20.000And then there's also traps of thinking that I'm sure get exposed by these psychedelic chemicals like nightmares.
02:36:27.000These are traps, pitfalls of thinking, things you're thinking about that are like fucking with you, that your brain explores while you're under the influence of whatever these dream chemicals are.
02:36:38.000Because dreams are very confusing to people.
02:36:41.000We don't exactly know what the reason for them is.
02:36:44.000But we do know that your brain produces these chemicals.
02:36:50.000And they also think that your brain probably produces these chemicals when it thinks your body's dying.
02:36:57.000And they think that's responsible for near-death experiences.
02:37:07.000And also, tripping balls might actually be a chemical doorway to another dimension.
02:37:13.000Like, the idea of this realm that we have our physical bodies in being the only thing that ever exists.
02:37:21.000Well, if you talk to those string theorists, those people that understand quantum theory and that debate whether or not there's 11 dimensions or 12 dimensions, they think there's many more dimensions outside of the ones that we have senses to detect.
02:37:36.000And that might be what you encounter when you're encountering these incredibly potent psychedelic drugs.
02:37:42.000But the fact that the most incredibly potent and most hallucinogenic psychedelic drugs are closely related to normal human neurochemistry is really wild.
02:38:08.000I think your brain even produces 5-methoxy DMT. See if that's true.
02:38:14.000I think your brain, which is even more potent, 5-methoxy, which is 5-MeO DMT, is even more potent than a regular DMT in terms of the impact per gram of the stuff.
02:40:39.000And then when people are developing similar inventions, completely unrelated to each other, that it's not as simple as two people solving the same puzzle because they have the same tools and the same idea because they're a human being.
02:40:57.000It might be more that there's so many people working on a thing that it kind of permeates the collective human consciousness and different people pick up that baton and run with it and they might be both doing it at the same time but often times when a great breakthrough experiment is taking place there were other people working on the exact same experiment somewhere else and they don't know if this is Again,
02:41:26.000purely by coincidence and chance and that this is something that is needed and that all these sort of technologies, they build up with each other and they feed off of each other and then it kind of like naturally progresses to the cell phone, naturally progresses to Wi-Fi,
02:41:47.000It might be that plus we all share some sort of a cosmic database and that we all share some sort of connection in consciousness that we are not fully aware of and we can't measure it.
02:42:05.000So, like an internet, exactly like the internet, except it's just something that we're all wired into and unaware of, except on a subconscious level.
02:42:14.000And maybe it's also developing, right?
02:42:17.000If you think of eyesight, eyesight exists on almost every mammal, right?
02:42:23.000And eyesight had to have come out of a need for a thing, but it wasn't instant.
02:42:30.000It wasn't like a single-celled organism all of a sudden had eyesight.
02:42:33.000Single-celled organism became multi-celled organism and eyesight slowly evolved, right?
02:42:38.000And our eyesight is eerily similar to the eyesight that exists in like squids, octopus, you know, cephalopods, like weird fucking creatures in the ocean.
02:42:48.000They have a different way of utilizing light and image, but they It's kind of similar.
02:43:01.000There must have been a very primitive version of eyesight.
02:43:04.000And then it became what we have now, where you can read, and you can detect things in the distance, and you can pick out different flowers, you can focus.
02:43:25.000That had to have evolved, and it evolved in a way that connects to our emotions.
02:43:31.000I mean, this artwork, you see it, it brings you to tears.
02:43:33.000Some of this shit I saw in the Vatican, I mean, it changed my physical state to look at these incredible paintings and know that in 1100 A.D. somebody made them.
02:43:43.000And here it is in this pedophile's basement in some fucking church that gets to skirt international law and harbor fugitives, because that's what it is.
02:43:52.000But that very strange thing that we have, the sense of being able to see things, the sense of sight...
02:44:04.000Maybe we're evolving a sense of how we each other think.
02:44:09.000Maybe telepathy is an evolving sense and you're getting it in these like weird little hints and whispers like when you think about someone and then they call you.
02:44:20.000Everybody wants to say that's a coincidence.
02:44:22.000But man, I've thought about people like they just pop into my head and I haven't thought about them in forever and then I open up my email and bam, there's an email from the dude and it'll give me goosebumps.
02:44:33.000There was this woman that just died and she lived in some Eastern European country and she'd been blinded as a child and she had this sense and she predicted 9-11, she predicted like a ton of shit.
02:47:19.000I mean, they can, I don't know if it works at scale, like, for 300 million people, if you can, but they can eventually.
02:47:27.000You're telling me they can ship video through the sky, and it lands on someone's phone in New Zealand instantaneously, and you can't pull that fucking salt out of the water?
02:48:01.000He said the speed is one thing, but it's also the ability to change direction.
02:48:07.000So if you see a torpedo, or a missile rather, and it's launched from Russia and it's headed towards Chicago, they can time when it's going to hit Chicago, a conventional nuke.
02:48:18.000But these, they take turns in the air.
02:48:41.000They have those where they can detonate them over a city and it sucks all the air out of the city for like five minutes so everybody suffocates to death.
02:50:16.000Yeah, I think they had a period where they weren't really talk, because Biden would famously say stupid shit that he wasn't supposed to say.
02:50:22.000And then, yeah, there was a couple times I think Obama was not talking to him.
02:52:15.000The White House has had to walk back several statements.
02:52:17.000Pull up what the White House had to walk back.
02:52:20.000The White House had to walk back several statements.
02:52:23.000By Biden, to the point where one of his press conferences recently, he does his little speech, and then afterwards, people start yelling questions, and they killed his mic.
02:52:32.000They killed the mic for the audience, and they killed the mic for Biden, and then they cut the screen.
02:52:38.000So, like, so he can't say anything stupid.
02:52:41.000White House attempts to walk back, Biden stating Putin can't stay in power.
02:52:47.000They just can't trust him to say things.
02:52:51.000The President's point was that Putin cannot be allowed to exercise power over his neighbors or the region.
02:56:35.000Because this is the most glaring example of someone who has reached a point of decline, that cognitive decline is relatively available to anybody to see.
02:57:44.000I need a vacation, and I'm woefully undereducated about what's been going on.
02:57:50.000Give me one of the most recent ones that she's done that's ridiculous because there's a shit ton of them that people have mocked because they're these vapid, nonsensical ramblings like a kid doing a book report on a book they haven't read.
02:58:45.000Once again, for another doozy of a word salad statement.
02:58:49.000This time Kamala was giving a speech about affordable internet access.
02:58:54.000Think about the significance of the passage of time, right?
02:58:58.000The significance of the passage of time.
02:59:00.000So when you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time in terms of what we need to do to lay these wires, what we need to do to create these jobs, and there is such great significance to the passage of time.
02:59:18.000Well that wasn't very good, but that wasn't the best one that mocks her.
02:59:24.000She loses her 10th staffer since June.
02:59:27.000She seems totally out of depth in almost every other issue, especially when she has to ad lib and talk from the heart or extemporaneously about the issues she should have thoroughly digested.
02:59:37.000And she's gotten so much bad publicity.
03:00:24.000Even if he won, they did not want Bernie.
03:00:26.000They didn't want Bernie leading the Democrat Party and all of his wacky Democrat socialist ideas that would reform wealth and do all kinds of things that they were just not interested in doing.
03:00:38.000You know, stop all the military industrial complex money from influencing foreign policy and decision making.
03:01:21.000The amount of fucking money that they make when they know decisions that are going to be signed and passed.
03:01:29.000They know laws that are going to be put into place.
03:01:31.000They know, like there was one recently they were talking about Nancy Pelosi and the amount of money she invested in Tesla right before Biden signed this EV bill, electric vehicle bill.
03:01:43.000It's like 1.2 million, find out if that's true.
03:01:46.000They should all have to put their money in trusts while they're in office that are done in fucking mutual funds, index funds, things that are auto-generated buying and not individual stocks.
03:02:00.000Well, insider trading is against the law.
03:02:04.000If you know that someone's going to sign a bill, and that bill is going to be a massive boost to the electrical vehicle industry, just as an example, and you know that bill's going to be signed, so right before that bill's signed, you buy a fuckload of stock in electrical vehicles,
03:02:21.000and then the next day, or whenever it was, that bill gets passed, and then that stock goes up, and you make a shit ton of money?
03:03:13.000And then I got my first development deal, and he calls me up one day, and he whispers.
03:03:19.000He goes, I'm not going to say the stock number because I don't want him to get in trouble.
03:03:23.000But he gave me the inside tip and I bought it at $15 and I put a lot of money in and it went up to $20 and then it doubled and then it doubled and then it doubled and it was all the way up to like $350 a share.
03:04:49.000It's true that Pelosi's husband invested up to a million dollars in call options for Tesla stock in December according to the financial disclosure documents claims that The representative bought $1.25 million in shares one day before Biden's executive order are inaccurate.
03:05:07.000A viral meme wrongly accusing Pelosi of investing millions in Tesla the day before Biden signed an executive order on electrical vehicles circulated widely on Facebook on Monday with millions of views, more than 275,000 shares.
03:05:22.000The Post paired a picture of Pelosi next to a photo of Biden signing the order.
03:05:28.000In some versions of the post, the banner over the top of the images used sarcasm to obliquely suggest Pelosi engaged in insider trading, reading, wow, what are the odds of that?
03:05:44.000It's true that the husband, Paul Pelosi, made a Tesla investment recently, according to the House Speaker's financial disclosure documents published on January 21st.
03:05:54.000However, the date and the amount of the investment don't match the claim that's circulating wildly online.
03:06:00.000According to Pelosi's latest periodic transaction report filed with Congress, her husband on December 1st invested between $500,000 and $1 million So it's only off by a little.
03:06:13.000And 25 call options for the Tesla stock at a strike price of $500 in March of 2022. Call options are financial contracts that give the buyer the right to buy shares of a stock for a certain amount.
03:06:27.000Until a set expiration date, Biden signed his executive order directing federal officials to transition federal, state, local, and tribal government fleets to clean and zero emission vehicles on January 27th, more than a month after Pelosi's husband made the investment.
03:06:45.000Yeah, but for sure she knew he was going to do that.
03:08:09.000Those kind of decisions are discussed.
03:08:12.000Like transitioning the entire fleet to electric vehicles, that's not something someone comes up with on a whim the day before they write that down and say it in front of the world.
03:08:38.000Yeah, he said that the fundamentals were bad, their supply chain wasn't going to be there when they couldn't meet the needs of all the Teslas that they were selling, which was all wrong.
03:10:25.000It's a 50-year-old law that requires that investors notify the Securities and Exchange Commission when they surpass a 5% stake in a company.
03:10:34.000Musk reached that benchmark on March 14, according to the filings, but he made his public disclosure only Monday.
03:11:34.000Do they have to listen to him in terms of whether they want to ban people, whether they want to have an edit button, whether or not they want to apply the principles of the First Amendment to something like Twitter...
03:11:47.000Well, maybe it's the fear that if he were to dump all the stock, it would hurt the price, so they want to keep him happy.
03:11:54.000I was having a conversation with a couple friends yesterday about this and one of them was dealing with Comments on another social media platform and what they were saying was that You know what Twitter does by banning people and censoring people is definitely bad But there are some fucking horrible people that were banned by Twitter that are now ruining these other social media apps and And they were explaining to me what's happening and how these people comment on these
03:12:25.000other apps and about how toxic they are and about how they have a whole group of people that have also been banned that find these new social media apps and that's where they congregate and hang out and that's their community now.
03:12:42.000I don't want to name the one that this person was talking to me about specifically because I don't want to fuck up because I think I believe in these other apps.
03:12:50.000I believe in all these other alternative platforms and I think that there's great value in having competitors and Whether it's to Twitter or to YouTube or to any of these, Facebook, any of these giant, huge companies that have a massive pipeline to the consciousness of the world.
03:13:11.000Because the ability to distribute information on Twitter or on Facebook or like...
03:13:18.000There's never been a thing like that where a privately owned company has the ability to get ideas out there that can change the way elections are run, to change the way so many things are thought of in this country.
03:13:32.000I think we need alternatives, and I think we need alternatives that adhere to free speech.
03:13:36.000But the problem is when they've got these shitty people that they've kicked off of these other platforms like Twitter, because Twitter is pretty ruthless about it, then they go to these other places and they run amok.
03:13:47.000And then they're like, hey, free speech, you need free speech.
03:13:50.000But then they're organizing harassment campaigns and fucking with people and targeting them all day long and constantly commenting on them.
03:14:13.000It's a terrible precedent to set that you can decide that you don't like a guy who's the fucking sitting president of the United States at the time and kick him off your platform because you don't like the things he's saying.
03:14:24.000Yeah, I guess it's like if they control what newspapers can print and they're culpable for misinformation, I guess they're trying to look at the biggest providers, whether it's Facebook, Instagram, whatever, and hold them to that same standard.
03:14:41.000Well, then the question is, are they a publisher or are they a utility?
03:14:48.000And the thing is, if the President is saying something that's not true, like if the President is saying, like here's one thing that Trump always would say, the elections were stolen.
03:14:59.000And people are like, well that's not true.
03:15:02.000I think you should say to the President, hey, either you prove definitively that the elections are stolen, and we look at this with a panel of objective experts.
03:15:16.000And if you can't do that, you have to stop saying that.
03:15:18.000We're going to delete all the times you've said it.
03:15:55.000And none of them found a real, measurable fraud?
03:15:59.000I think there might have been one that had some evidence out of 60. So I would imagine they were bipartisan, some of them, at the very least.
03:16:09.000If that's the case, then Twitter should look at that evidence and say, hey, you can't say that, because here's the evidence, and we'll point to the article and maybe a link to say, look, there's been 60 investigations, only one found an amount of measurable fraud.
03:17:21.000It's pretty scary to think about how easy it would be to steal an election electronically.
03:17:27.000And I don't know why we don't have a uniform system of voting from state to state and that you can just – this state buys machines from this company.
03:18:31.000I think there's some voter fraud that always takes place because some people are zealots.
03:18:36.000And people that are working for the Republican Party, if they're involved in, you know, if there's some way, if there's a bag of mail that you know is coming from a Democrat community, you can fucking hide that.
03:18:48.000You know, and there's mail-in ballots, or if there's some weaselly way you can do something, people are going to do it.
03:19:06.000It's bad, too, because it undermines our confidence in democracy, which is already kind of shaky.
03:19:13.000And that is also one of the things that the Russian troll farms prey on.
03:19:17.000All those Russian troll farms that they found that, like, comment on Facebook and start Facebook pages and do all these, you know, they interact with people and get them all stirred up.
03:19:28.000All of them are trying to undermine our conference democracy.
03:20:43.000Yeah, they have a definition of what they use for a bot, but it's basically like an automated account, not run by an actual, you know, like someone claiming this is their...
03:20:54.000I'm sure some of those bots are used by corporations and media sites in America to drum up interest.
03:21:03.000Do you remember there was a Howard Stern controversy because there was a video that got released, and I want to say it's from 2013, where he's telling people to make fake Twitter accounts and tweet at celebrities to tell them to go on The Howard Stern Show?
03:21:21.000It's like, you know, he's talking about what they need for the show to be successful and he's doing this like seminar in front of all of his employees.
03:21:29.000So he's on stage and he's got like a PowerPoint presentation.
03:21:32.000And one of the things he's telling them to do is to tweet at celebrities.
03:21:38.000And tell them that you have to be on the Howard Stern Show.
03:22:24.000So there's bots, which are automated responses and automated tweets that they do with a program.
03:22:32.000But then there's these troll farms that are actually people, and they create memes, and they make a lot of funny memes that mock Hillary Clinton or mock Barack Obama or mock Joe Biden or whatever.
03:22:46.000And they fucking churn these things out.
03:23:50.000And what my friend was saying about these shitheads that have gone to these other platforms and are ruining these platforms to the point where they don't want to go to these platforms anymore.
03:23:57.000Because every time they go, they're just dealing with these people that have been kicked off of Twitter and now they run amok here.
03:24:06.000And you try to go over there because you're like, well, maybe Twitter is being a little bit irresponsible with their take on the First Amendment.
03:24:12.000And then you go over there and you're like, well, what the fuck is this?
03:24:33.000You know, you don't want just, like, assholes just, like, overflowing, where every time you go there, you get harassed and insulted, and that's what's fun for people.
03:25:01.000It's all about 4chan and the QAnon hoax, this supposedly insider into the White House that was giving you all this information about what Trump is actually doing to try to stop the pedophiles and all this wild shit.
03:25:15.000And it shows you how they manipulated these people and shows you how they created this sort of thing.
03:25:22.000And started putting out this fake character that they were saying was an insider with all this inside information that they would distribute in this very cryptic manner.
03:25:33.000But it's fucking wild to see how these people just buy into it hook, line, and sinker.
03:25:39.000And about the end of the film, they recognize that they were hoaxed after January 6th and everyone's fucked and they're all going to jail.
03:25:45.000Like, hey, I thought we were on the good side.
03:26:08.000You know, when 9-11 happens and all of a sudden, you know, steel is being carted away in fucking trucks that are owned by the mob and different things happen, you go like, all right, now I'm going to look for a crazy answer because you didn't give us transparency.
03:26:24.000Not to bring up 9-11 conspiracy theory.
03:26:26.000I'm just saying, like, that's what leads people to start these theories, is that they weren't given the truth in the first place.
03:26:32.000Well, anytime there's a gigantic event like 9-11, you're going to have a lot of chaos.
03:26:38.000Anytime you have a lot of chaos, you're going to have conflicting eyewitness accounts, conflicting eyewitness accounts, and not even malicious, not even intentional.
03:26:53.000And then also people are so confused after an event that they give inaccurate depictions of events just because they don't know what the fuck happened.
03:27:12.000If you go through the Freedom of Information Act, there's a bunch of things, like the Gulf of Tonkin incident that got us into the Vietnam War.
03:27:20.000Operation Northwoods, this plan to blow up jet airliners and blame it on the Cubans and arm Cuban friendlies and attack Guantanamo Bay to get us to go to war with Cuba.
03:27:31.000That was all the government's real plan, signed by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, vetoed by Kennedy.
03:27:40.000I mean, it's probably one of the reasons why they killed him.
03:27:42.000I mean, probably his reluctance to go along with a lot of the propaganda and the business as usual that the government wanted to keep running.
03:28:22.000So literally the theories about 9-11 were part of an actual plan in the 60s.
03:28:28.000That plan was in some way eerily similar to a lot of the crazy conspiracy theories that people have about 9-11.
03:28:37.000And that's one of the reasons why they get so curious about these things is because the government has done – the Gulf of Tonkin, rather, is – That's irrefutable.
03:29:43.000I'm watching these press conferences and I'm seeing these videos that they release and the way they're describing things and I'm like, God damn it, why do I have this part of me that's calling bullshit?
03:29:54.000I have a feeling that they have access to some technology that is above and beyond what we think is currently available.
03:30:04.000And whether it's military shit or whether it's drones, whatever the fuck it is, I think some of the things that we're seeing that operate in these insane ways, I think it's some stuff they're testing.
03:30:46.000So I'm not opposed to the idea of UFOs being real, but when the government starts having transparency about unidentified flying objects, that, believe it or not, them talking about it is where I'm like, huh,
03:31:19.000I think they'd rather keep you in the dark.
03:31:21.000They're just making people pay more attention to it.
03:31:24.000But if they have a product that behaves and moves in a way that is unexplainable with traditional acknowledged technology, but it's just some new technology, what better way To mask the fact that you have this thing than to say,
03:31:41.000you know guys, there's some things we just can't explain and we don't know what to do about them but we've had multiple sightings of these incredible objects and we don't know what they are.
03:34:04.000He said, I'd love to get on the phone with her and have a conversation with her and maybe answer some questions because there's some new information that we have after the book was published.
03:34:12.000I have some new information because he's still looking into it.
03:35:02.000Upon investigation in writing the article, he realizes there's some inconsistencies and there's some problems, and so he goes deeper and deeper, and then he gets fired from that, and he keeps writing, and then more people hire him for books and this and that, and it goes on for 20 fucking years.
03:35:46.000But I can tell you by living next to him, every morning that motherfucker made a pot of coffee, drank the whole thing, and then wrote for nine hours.
03:35:53.000And if he wasn't writing, he was in a car that I gave him, a 1985 Volvo 240DL. He was driving into the fucking desert in 100 degree heat with no fucking air conditioner.
