00:05:27.000Yeah, so Jamie and I disagreed with it heavily because he felt like it's lazy and he felt like it contributed to rape culture, which is a term that gets bandied about.
00:06:25.000Isn't there always long sex scenes as well?
00:06:27.000If you consider juggling fruit and singing in between a gunfighting scene morning, because all their movies still have musical numbers, where they will start in the middle of a real action movie.
00:06:40.000When I went to India, we would take Valium and go to this movie theater in New Delhi and just watch their movies, because they're so trippy.
00:06:48.000But yeah, in the middle of an action movie, it'll stop into a musical number, like a real serious action movie.
00:10:18.000Like, is this bitch really this crazy that she's referring to this chicken as her girl?
00:10:22.000Yeah, it seems sometimes that activists aren't aware of the fact that if their stunt isn't pulled off in the right way, it seems like it could be more detrimental.
00:11:02.000Just make sure that you're graceful when you do it.
00:11:04.000Well, not only that, you have to have a real objective sense of what actions you're putting out there and how those actions are going to be perceived.
00:11:13.000If you fake it, people can see through it and it seems lame.
00:11:16.000Well, there's some people that have this idea that their idea, what they're protesting against, is more important than anything that's going to disrupt, anything that's going to involve that, like Greenpeace.
00:11:25.000Have you seen what Greenpeace did with the Nazca lines?
00:21:18.000It's like, if you're not even interested at all in Egypt, you're like, eh, that's fucking boring, a bunch of people living in the sand like assholes.
00:21:32.000If I was just trying to be funny, I would say that.
00:21:32.000People living in the sand like assholes.
00:21:34.000But his videos just are super in-depth about the construction methods and how big it is and all the magical things about the way they built them.
00:21:45.000They think that it was a culture that lived a long fucking time before, we think.
00:21:50.000Not just like 2,500 BC, but he's of the notion that it's like 10,000 plus BC. And if you go to 10,000 BC, apparently where the lion is, the Sphinx, where it's pointing, would be directly over the constellation Leo.
00:22:07.000I like the serious theory better, the dog star.
00:22:37.000So there's like clues left in the simulator pointing back home and just as a little cookie, like even video games, you know?
00:22:46.000Or maybe people a long time ago were more aware of the fact that this is an interdimensional A kind of Hogwarts for young godlings who have the potential to become universe creators.
00:23:01.000But before they're released to create their own dimensions, they have to go through this infinite loop again and again and again until you learn that the most important thing is to love the people around you more than you love yourself.
00:23:15.000Well, yeah, then we can trust you to fuck around with our black hole machine or whatever.
00:23:20.000I'm not going to put you in charge of black holes while you're a selfish shithead.
00:23:26.000That always seems to me like if that was really like a plot, if someone had designed people with this sort of puzzle in front of them, the plot is, eventually they're going to get intelligent enough to figure out the plot.
00:23:38.000That seems to me to be like a really shitty way of doing things.
00:23:51.000Well, in that sense, it's like- You learn eventually.
00:23:53.000That confusion that people feel, and like the existential angst of being a person where you don't know what the fuck you are, where are you going, what happens when I die, like, almost universally that needs to be plugged up.
00:24:05.000Whether it's plugged up with this alien- Yes.
00:24:09.000Whether it's plugged up with a Mormon story, whatever.
00:26:40.000For how do we, in the midst of what appears to be meaninglessness in the infinite scale, find meaning in human endeavors when the whole thing's going to get wiped out by the sun?
00:26:54.000Yeah, some of those philosophers have brought them to God.
00:28:15.000That's the roots of a magical system that's based on the idea that these symbols themselves, they lack any inherent meaning outside of the mind state that they place you in.
00:28:26.000And so if they help you transform your will into reality...
00:28:35.000If whatever the fucking thing is that you do prior to sitting down to write or prior to whatever it is that your job happens to be, if that actually puts your mind in a state where you are more likely to receive inspiration or you're going to be more graceful or athletic,
00:28:57.000The symbols themselves, are you really going to worry over the actual existence of an elephant-headed god that can shrink himself down and ride around on a mouse?
00:29:08.000If he's got a good family unit over it and you're raised well, then it's like, alright, fine.
00:29:11.000I don't think the issue is a belief system as much as the issue is getting caught up in an ideology that you can't question.
00:29:19.000When you do that, if you want to go in the Thor camp or whatever camp you want to go to and you believe is the grand ruler of the fucking...
00:29:35.000Anytime you can't question anything, you're fucksville.
00:29:39.000If you have something you believe in, that's probably empowering.
00:29:43.000What's not empowering is when you subscribe to an ideology.
00:29:46.000Because if you believe that there's some all-eternal, loving God that's looking over you and judging you every day, and that you have to do your best to make Him proud, that is your Divine Father, He created you, and you know deep in your DNA what the good things you're supposed to do is.
00:30:02.000If you really go live your life like that, you'll probably live a pretty fucking cool life.
00:31:32.000If you have a slave, That's underage that's a girl and you're wanting or I guess a guy I don't I guess they don't like gay people so if you have an underage sex slave that's a girl and you are in isis you're gonna have some questions right the number one being when do I get to her yeah and this is a guidebook where they're like well can you her well if she's able to have sex in this guidebook it says if she's able to have sex Yeah.
00:31:59.000But if she's not, then you can enjoy her in other ways.
00:32:17.000It is a thing that they are taking slaves, and some of those slaves are women.
00:32:21.000And if you have a female slave that you've taken, that you've captured from your enemy, then you are going to have some questions about, as a religious person...
00:32:30.000If you want to live ethically, absolutely.
00:32:58.000I mean, as awful as the sex slavery is and as ridiculous as that is, the structure is always the same.
00:33:04.000Which is a very manipulative, charismatic, power-hungry, narcissistic guy has convinced some dumb people that he has got the line in to God, and as long as they're coming to him to ask him what to do, it's great.
00:33:20.000The structure needs to be that a certain amount of people believe that there is one person who has contact with an invisible guy, and that that person will tell them what's right and what's wrong.
00:34:37.000But when you consider the fact that it is, not only is it real, but it is like these people doing this are behind businesses that are making billions of dollars every year.
00:34:48.000And that money is going in the direction of paying for lobbyists to control government and politics.
00:34:57.000If you look at it from a big picture perspective, do you think it's possible for people to have gotten where we've gotten as quickly as we've gotten without religion, without some organizing ethical behavior guideline?
00:36:42.000The people that are a part of it, they subscribe to the ideology of this organized group.
00:36:49.000And are almost, like for a large percentage at least, I shouldn't say almost the majority, but a large percentage are liberal.
00:36:58.000A large percentage of atheists are liberal people.
00:37:02.000They tend to lean left with their ideas.
00:37:05.000I would say if you had to gauge the difference between the Republican side and the Democrat side, like which one has more atheists, it would clearly be Democrat, right?
00:39:08.000I can't trust you if you don't believe in the symbol that was created a long time ago by people trying to control other people.
00:39:17.000Once you go, it's silly, so forget it.
00:39:19.000Well, there's a book I read, and goddammit, I wish I could remember the name of it, but the very first chapter in the book was talking about how fascinating it is that in the...
00:39:28.000Old Testament, when God is asking for offerings, he only wants stuff that humans like.
00:39:58.000Yeah, but the difference is money, now it's this ambiguous thing, but back then what was kind of interesting is like you would actually ask for like...
00:40:46.000It's the historical Christ, and his premise is that...
00:40:52.000Regardless of his premise, what's really fascinating is he's just talking about what it was like back then, which is that the Romans were occupying that land and that the priests were actually people who used to be like a religious thing,
00:41:09.000but they would buy their positions from the Romans, so everybody wanted the Romans gone.
00:41:15.000So like, you know, in the story, in the Bible, Jesus is crucified between two thieves.
00:41:20.000And so Reza Aslan says that if you look at the actual word for thief, it actually translates into bandit.
00:41:28.000And bandit is the word that the Romans used to describe people who are trying to overthrow them.
00:41:33.000So Jesus, his premises was somebody who was pro-violence, and wanted to overthrow the Romans and there were a lot of other people like him too and so when people were saying they were like the son of God or the Messiah the term Messiah actually meant like the the king of the Jews somebody who was gonna like lead the liberate the Jews from the Romans it's a really great book in the very first chapter time that would be a cool fucking movie It would be really cool,
00:42:49.000But it's like, no, you're not really the fucking chosen people because they're guys who are guarding your temples now, wearing Roman outfits.
00:43:42.000It's really crazy, but those sort of volatile moments in history, crazed, insane, violent moments of control, and then the repercussions of that control, those are like the engines that fuel change and oftentimes fuel innovation.
00:44:06.000But for the future, I think all these chaotic moments where there's people struggling to get into a position for power, and the fact that nobody can really hold it, and people have their complaints, and the people that are rising up, they have the will of the people, because the will of the people is, we don't want any of this fucking terror anymore.
00:44:20.000Yeah, yeah, yeah, alright, let's go get them.
00:44:22.000And then they get in, and they become the person they were fighting against.
00:44:26.000The process repeats itself over and over again.
00:44:28.000And it seems like objectively, if you look at it, it's like this process of cleansing or filtering, almost like water coming down from a glacier and going through all those rocks until it becomes pure.
00:44:39.000It's like it's gotta go through all these trials and tribulations.
00:44:41.000There's gotta be all these fucking chaotic moments of horror so we understand what horror is.
00:44:47.000You gotta have a holocaust to understand where the 60s came from.
00:44:51.000You gotta have these bad moments that sort of make you like long for and accomplish the great heights.
00:44:58.000This is why I just had Alex Gray on my podcast and I'm not gonna try to repeat what he said about the Jews as the chosen people because they're creating psychedelics, but he did one of his premises because Hoffman was a Jew, but the idea is that we needed Scientific materialism,
00:45:17.000atheism, we needed people to turn their backs on the ancient version of God so that we could understand the universe at a deep enough level to be able to create, to synthesize LSD and all the various,
00:45:34.000like, Choose how to be smart to figure that shit out.
00:45:38.000It's kind of what you're saying, which is like we needed, like these phases in human evolution are really important because like if you're caught up in a ridiculous version of the deity, then maybe you're not going to be so inclined to study molecular biology or maybe you're not going to be able to study chemistry in the same way.
00:45:56.000And without studying that stuff, then we wouldn't have some of the psychoactive compounds that I think A lot of people consider as being one of the potential ways that our species can evolve.
00:46:12.000And so these psychedelics can actually be ways to connect with the thing that the ancient religions were talking about, and then that thing that ended up being like, turned into like a painted clown.
00:46:26.000You know, that people, somebody had a vision.
00:46:29.000You know, Moses by the, what was the burning bush?
00:46:44.000Well, you're translating things from...
00:46:46.000If you take that out, what would the story really be?
00:46:47.000Well, if you're translating something from ancient Hebrew, right, and then you're putting into the Latin and then eventually to the English, when you're doing that, the way they explain things is going to come off very different.
00:46:58.000Have you ever read Russian stories translated to English?
00:47:55.000But even he's suspect, because God was telling you not to covet your neighbor's wife, not because your neighbor's wife is in a relationship.
00:48:33.000If I told you some shit that happened to me when I was a child, and then you were, it was your job to write a book after I died, oh, you would butcher it.
00:48:40.000I would butcher your life, you would butcher my life, we would butcher each other's lives.
00:51:00.00092, I think January of 92. So this is like Clinton presidency.
00:51:04.000Yeah, I voted absentee ballot for Clinton.
00:51:06.000That was the only time I ever voted for president.
00:51:08.000Did you wear religious garb while you were there?
00:51:11.000I mean, yarmulke and the tzitzit, the tassels.
00:51:14.000But man, one thing we loved doing, because there was no black people there, only Ethiopians, and they were in a different part of the town of the country.
00:51:22.000We would just yell nigger at each other down the street.
00:52:18.000If you yell out chink, most likely they'll look at you like, you motherfucker, you piece of shit.
00:52:23.000But there are certain dudes, not all of them, but there are certain dudes that if they catch you yelling out that word, they will fucking punch you.
00:53:09.000It is a really interesting thing, because symbols are harmless, but somehow they justify violence.
00:53:15.000Like, whenever this ridiculous thing, or an image of the prophet, a word, whenever it's there, it's like that thing itself is meaningless, harmless, but...
00:53:27.000It allows violent people an excuse to be violent.
00:53:33.000And there is nothing, I think, more satisfying than some people to be violent and righteous at the same time.
00:55:51.000And he talked about, which is like, okay.
00:55:53.000It's one thing if you're shooting terrorists who have rocket launchers, but you're shooting poor people that are stealing shit because they're involved in chaos because the fucking water has come and surrounded the city and there's no resources.
00:58:35.000If he wrote about all that other shit about shooting looters and all that other shit, if that turns out to be not true, which people are saying is not true, you really got to take the whole book back.
01:00:58.000Then I was thinking like, did Clint Eastwood really direct this?
01:01:01.000Because when you see him at the Republican National Convention, he seemed kind of like So then I was thinking, how the fuck is this guy directing this kind of hardcore action movie?
01:01:12.000Did they stick his face there because he's this manly, rugged, right-wing Republican hero?
01:01:18.000And they knew that that would get more people to watch this movie, which is essentially a lubricated water slide that leads to your nearest recruiting office if you get hypnotized by the thing enough.
01:01:51.000I think when you make a movie about someone's life story, and this is what...
01:01:54.000I was pissed off at Foxcatcher for the same reason.
01:01:57.000That movie Foxcatcher about John DuPont, who was that crazy old man who shot Dave Schultz, who's an Olympic champion wrestler, and it was based on his brother Mark Schultz in this movie.
01:02:07.000They fucked with everything in that movie.
01:03:07.000Because why would you make up any aspects of history when you're doing a true story?
01:03:11.000You don't need to change the timeline for the UFC. That's totally arbitrary.
01:03:16.000Like, someone deciding to do that is their own creative flair, just jizzing, just cupping their balls and jizzing over history.
01:03:25.000And if you did that with that, how the fuck am I going to believe any of the aspects Oh, Jesus.
01:03:46.000They, like, fucked with the timeline of his achievements, too, because he had already won the world championships.
01:03:51.000I mean, he was already the best wrestler in the world in his weight class, and they were making it look like he needed his brother, and, you know, that he was sucking in.
01:04:20.000The way they made it, and the way the guy was fucked, and nothing was going right for him, and then he needed this John DuPont situation, and that's why he moved in there.
01:04:30.000In A Beautiful Mind, when the wife stuck with him, even though he was going crazy, in the real life, she just left.
01:04:35.000As soon as he ran the bathwater on the kid, she was like, I'm out.
01:07:37.000You're not going to get your own fucking tanks, and where are you going to get the military equipment from?
01:07:41.000You're going to get the military equipment from the military.
01:07:44.000And the military, and you can look this up, they get to have script approval.
01:07:49.000So the military, they look through your script, and they make sure that the stuff that is in your script is going to get people down to their local recruiting office, and that's why they let you use their machinery.
01:08:00.000You know they said to Kubrick that there's never been an anti-war movie that hasn't made enlistment go up?
01:08:29.000And this is why Sebastian Junger's book, War, is such an incredible book, because it portrays war with no attempt to be like, this is right or this is wrong.
01:08:40.000I can't remember the exact wording, but it's like, if you take a 22-year-old and put them behind one of those giant fucking submachine guns, it feels good!
01:08:55.000So, if you can figure out a way to get people to be violent without the guilt that goes along with, like, you're killing other members of your species, then what do you do?
01:09:40.000Do a Google search on birth defects in some of the parts of Iraq that we attacked because we used shells that had some kind of radioactive isotope in it, so now the babies are being born with birth defects.
01:09:51.000Because the other thing people say is, Saddam Hussein gassed his own people, right?
01:10:06.000Babies are being born there with severe birth defects because of what we did there.
01:10:10.000So, I think in a movie like that, you need to at least illustrate the fact that the reason that man was sitting on the tops of buildings in that area killing people was he was It was because he was sent there based on bad information,
01:11:25.000It's like, why are the Marines right there where they can get shot?
01:11:28.000Just go thousands of miles away back to America.
01:11:32.000What we were saying earlier about ideologies are the problem.
01:11:35.000And being a nationalistic person, subscribing and being a patriot, subscribing to one nation only, regardless of what the actual act itself is, looking at it like, you know, that's okay because it's one of us.
01:11:54.000One of the things that Michael Moore was saying was that he put it on his Twitter that a sniper is a coward, and everybody got really pissed off.
01:12:04.000I think the logic behind it is kind of silly.
01:12:07.000You have to look them in the eye when you shoot them, like shooting someone in the back is a coward.
01:12:11.000Well, in that sense, 90% of war is cowardly.
01:12:48.000It's really important that that information gets out there when you are putting a movie out that's going to get people.
01:12:54.000In the same way like when Beverly Hills Chihuahua came out.
01:12:58.000Everybody bought a Chihuahua and the pounds filled up with Chihuahuas.
01:13:01.000American Sniper is gonna do the exact same thing for people who are a little confused in what to do in their lives.
01:13:09.000And they're gonna think, well, I guess the best thing I can do right now is kill people that my government tells me are evil, even though if I study the facts, I find that It's a far more complex issue than that, and maybe my decision should not be to become a hired killer for people who are telling me that I should kill people who more than likely are innocent or just trying to defend their home from an invading,
01:20:15.000Because he called me and he's like, can we go through what your story is?
01:20:18.000The idea being if we can, like, maybe we can make it so it could possibly be on TV. And I said, oh, no, I'd just rather not be on TV because I don't want to worry about that.
01:20:28.000I don't want to think about that because the story I'm telling is a story about being in high school trying to buy drugs and just the worst slash best acid trip I ever had in my life.
01:20:41.000You don't even want to have to worry about someone going, can you make it sound a little less pro?
01:21:37.000And you'd fantasize with your friends about the idea of marijuana becoming legalized, and you could see that it could be on the horizon, maybe, but it was still kind of like, it's never going to be legal.
01:21:59.000Once they start realizing that there are medical benefits, that they keep looking like they're improving, that it's like, they'll try to separate it.
01:23:11.000They're a chain of unique moments throughout your entire life.
01:23:15.000Your interpretations of those unique moments...
01:23:17.000I'm paraphrasing the shit out of how this guy said it.
01:23:19.000And then all of your associations with life itself that are connected to your interpretations of these moments and then boom, here you are today.
01:23:29.000And you want to think that this is life.
01:23:31.000But it's only life because of all these pathways that you've carved in the way you view the world.
01:24:15.000And if like a psychedelic or meditating too, and I really mean that, I'm not just saying that because I'm...
01:24:22.000I really think meditation has a very similar effect but any of these things they reset those symbol structures in your brain and if you just like if you're in a cave-in and you get an extra inch compared to like being compressed against the wall that's a big fucking deal man oh right so it's slightly percentage difference change just a slight change is like oh thank god i'm 13% less frightened than I was for my entire life.
01:24:48.000Have you ever heard Tony Robbins talk about changing paths in life?
01:24:53.000He talks about like you're going two cars going the exact same or a boat rather, two boats going exactly the same direction, but one boat just takes a two degree turn.
01:25:05.000As they go further down, the one boat that took the two degree turn is going to go wider and wider away from the original path.
01:25:12.000And then each decision that you make that's a good decision takes you closer.
01:25:16.000Even though it's just like you're just steering your ship just as you go out, it's going to be a much different path, a much different end than if you just stayed on the original path.
01:25:59.000Either you just create a completely different desktop, look at reality as a completely different, or open up my old bullshit and fall back into these familiar patterns because they're very comforting.
01:26:10.000You know, and those moments after the psychedelic experience are so important to grab and hang on to because it gives you this opportunity to make this new way of thinking like a part of your habit.
01:26:21.000And once you get in that habit, whether it's fucking, you know, 30 days or 60 days or 90 days, like people say that once you like have a pattern ingrained in how you behave and think and do...
01:26:32.000It just takes a consistent approach to that pattern, and then it becomes like a part of you.
01:26:38.000That's why people that quit smoking are like, get past the first 90 days and you'll be alright.
01:27:09.000But the thing is, the helicopter's gonna land.
01:27:11.000It's gonna put you back out into your city, and that's where the job starts, which is like, shit man, it's nice up there.
01:27:18.000How can I clean this fucking thing up?
01:27:20.000And then that's when you start doing things like exercising, meditating, or that's where you create just a very simple intention in everything you do, which is, as much as possible, I'm gonna try to alleviate the suffering of people around me as much as I can.
01:27:54.000In those little moments, man, it shows you that those moments present themselves to you all day fucking long, but if you are stuck in selfishness, you don't see it.
01:29:01.000That's what it shows you like you can change but that thing you're talking about where you realize shit I'm a bad person that is There's I can't remember the name in Buddhism There's an actual name for that and it's considered to be a very sweet moment where you need that moment it's fertilizer where you need that moment where you look at your life and and you feel this very specific kind of sadness because you look at all the times you could have been kinder all the times you could have like called that person back all the times you
01:29:31.000could have made decisions that were pushing your boat in the direction of a better world and you didn't do it and you should feel sad about that but you shouldn't spend your whole life feeling sad about it you should just spend some time there and look at it and think okay Well,
01:30:16.000There's laws that they've created that make the best tools to find out who you really are illegal.
01:30:23.000There's not a therapy in the fucking world that will get a crazy, sociopathic, egomaniacal person to really look at themselves like a bag of mushrooms.
01:31:15.000Well, there's been some people that have blown their brains out with LSD for sure.
01:31:19.000There's definitely been some people that had some psychotic episodes.
01:31:21.000And it can be argued that a lot of those psychotic episodes are people who are control freaks or egomaniacs that are struggling with the reality that's presented to them.
01:31:55.000You know, it's like the victim thing about people, the victims of psychedelics...
01:32:01.000You know, and I know you think climbing up, what is it, the mountain, you think it's ridiculous, but there's a valley there called the, I just read about this on Reddit, I think it's called, there's an area, I think it's called the Valley of Rainbows, and they call it that because of the brightly colored jackets on the corpses that are all laying there dead.
01:32:20.000And I think psychedelics have the same kind of valley.
01:32:22.000I think that there is an undeniable valley That must be filled with people who've been pushed into psychotic episodes or who under the influence of a psychedelic made bad decisions, car accidents, all the things that come from irresponsibly using and intoxicating.
01:32:41.000You've got to admit that's real, but just because that is real doesn't therefore exclude all the people who are saying again and again and again and again I've had amazing times.
01:33:06.000Don't deny the fact that they're Dangerous chemicals and that people have more than likely completely lost their shit because of them.
01:33:12.000Don't deny that, but then also don't deny the benefits in the same way with American Sniper.
01:33:18.000Much better movie if that character was actually dealing with the fact that he's blowing people away in a war that has been shown to be based on bad information.
01:33:28.000Don't you think that when you get to be as old as Clint Eastwood is, don't you think that your faculties have been compromised?
01:33:59.000And it's like, alright man, now you're not...
01:34:00.000Even if you were younger, you still wouldn't be able to see this clearly.
01:34:02.000It's like when someone talks in their own words, and you get to hear them talk in their own words, you get a sense of like, oh, I see why you created this piece of art.
01:35:41.000That I was curious, like, okay, I wonder how involved Eastwood was in directing this just based on what I saw at the Republican National Convention.
01:35:50.000I thought maybe he was just suffering from senile dementia or something.
01:35:54.000It was called Mrs. Eastwood and Company.
01:35:56.000It was on 2012. It was a reality show.
01:35:59.000So what did the interview say, though?
01:36:01.000Well, the interview was, you know, it was just him saying like he had actually been reading the book when they called and he said, let me finish the book.
01:40:43.000Is there a way to solve this without shooting them?
01:40:45.000It's like those cops were like, he was coming at me.
01:40:47.000And it's like, okay, but shooting them to death is the only way to stop a guy from coming at you?
01:40:51.000Because you think about the consequences of the decision.
01:40:53.000Think about the consequences of a decision to fly in a plane to a place where you've never been and shoot someone you've never known, based on the directions by some people who you don't know, who are making you march.
01:42:15.000They'd say your cerebral cortex, your frontal lobe, they're saying, like, for young males especially, because of the fucking influx of testosterone.
01:43:08.000They should have one of those GoPros over your bunk, and if they don't see you beating off under the sheets, they can fucking ask you questions.
01:43:15.000Duncan, you want to come in here and talk to us real quick?
01:43:25.000No, sir, I'm just thinking about killing right now.
01:43:29.000Duncan, this is not the type of soldier we're looking for in this here army.
01:43:32.000We want well-balanced individuals that make rational choices based on the evidence at hand, not based on lust, not based on a ball full of cum just waiting to fucking jizz all over some new part of the world to spread your fucking seed.
01:43:45.000My gun is my cock, the bullets are my jizz, and the brains of the Mujahideen are my pussy friend.
01:44:27.000It's kind of embarrassing if this turns out that this guy really did make up all this shit.
01:44:31.000Because there's another article I'm looking at right now about the criticism of the post-Katrina New Orleans story, like how it's all total horseshit, how they can prove it's horseshit because he wasn't even there at that time.
01:44:42.000Yeah, it's like there's a lot of horseshit.
01:45:09.000I hope you needed extra pressure on this.
01:45:11.000There's a Facebook page, I'm not endorsing this, I'm just letting you know, that's dedicated entirely to the subject, and it's Chris Kyle was a murderous liar.
01:45:32.000Yeah, I guess people don't want to, it's really hard for people to digest the simple fact that war makes a lot of money for a small amount of people.
01:45:42.000It's a profitable endeavor and if you want to make money in that industry then you've got to convince heroes Because that is a heroic instinct.
01:47:33.000It's the idea that surgical is retarded.
01:47:36.000If we had drones going overhead, and then I found out who's responsible for it, Yemen, and I'm a little kid, and I'm like, this fucking Yemen drone that's over here killed my kid.
01:47:44.000It's like, goddamn right I'm going to want to attack Yemen.
01:47:47.000Stop fucking sending that shit over here!
01:47:55.000We were talking earlier about what you were saying about these invading armies in Iraq and all the people that have PTSD and the birth defects.
01:48:03.000You've got to go way back to the original Gulf War.
01:48:06.000They were using fucking depleted uranium, and everybody forgets about this.
01:49:06.000It doesn't mean that there aren't heroes, and it doesn't mean you don't need a defense.
01:49:09.000You don't need to be able to protect yourself from some fucking North Korean asshole if that guy decides to start taking over the world.
01:49:16.000Like, what if they had massive resources?
01:49:18.000We're lucky they're in a resource-starved environment.
01:49:21.000So you have this communist dictator with nuclear weapons in a resource-starved environment where they have to shut the lights off at night because they can't afford to keep them on.
01:49:28.000But if that guy had oil or gold or something crazy and like Saudi Arabia-type money, if like one of those guys became some sort of a fucking world-spreading villain, you need heroes.
01:49:41.000You need real soldiers that are willing to fight against bad people.
01:49:45.000That's what happened in World War II, right?
01:49:47.000In World War II, when you had the Nazis and all that, I mean, I'm sure there's all sorts of complexities.
01:49:51.000They used the justified war argument as proof to get us into sort of way less justified wars.
01:50:15.000But what we're saying is, look what's being done in the name of this, and look how there's no thinking.
01:50:21.000Whenever there's no thinking and horrific acts are being done, there's no thinking.
01:50:25.000If you're ever in a situation where a fucking little kid has a rocket launcher, everybody should stop what they're doing, get the fuck out of there, and try to figure out, A, how did this happen, and B, how do you fix it?
01:50:38.000And the way you don't fix it is by shooting kids.
01:50:44.000You know what the Oklahoma PD is doing now?
01:50:45.000Oklahoma PD is starting up like youth basketball leagues and they're coaching and stuff so that the youth grow up not going, fuck the police, but like, no, the police are cool.
01:50:54.000So it's like, look, we can't solve it right now, but 20 years from now, it'll be better than it is now.
01:50:58.000Well, it's also what's happened in New York when they did the police slowdown where they just wouldn't arrest anybody.
01:51:03.000Anything after those two kids got or those two Cops got shot by that one guy.
01:51:08.000Yeah That one guy who by the way also shot his fucking ex-girlfriend like that was a piece of shit like to People to think he's a hero like Jesus Christ.
01:51:17.000He shot his girlfriend first and then he went shot those cops.
01:51:20.000He was a psychotic murderous person but because of that act and The cops backed up.
01:51:27.000The cops finally stopped fucking with people?
01:51:30.000They need to stay where they're at, right there.
01:51:36.000I'm not saying that they should be scared all the time of being murdered, but I'm saying the attitude that they develop, like, okay, we're not going to arrest anybody for anything that's not important.
01:51:44.000That's all you should have ever been doing.
01:52:45.000But it's like, I don't think we see shit.
01:52:48.000Like, white people don't even see, like, they're constantly getting, like, you know what resisting arrest is?
01:52:52.000Resisting arrest is after the first time somebody's like, hey, let me see your ID, and they grab you, and they push you.
01:52:57.000The second time, the same shit happens, a cop pushes you.
01:52:59.000The fourth time, they say, get out of your car, and they grab your arrest, and they go, come on, man, if you pull back, you've resisted arrest.
01:53:58.000Yeah, if I'm a cop and I don't like you, and I see something, even if I don't think it's wrong, if I'm a 23-year-old, I'm like, well, I'm going to put you in jail now.
