00:23:50.000Very excited to be back with you here tonight on Thursday.
00:23:53.000We have a lot to talk about, lots to get into tonight.
00:23:57.000Our featured stories about the New York City vaccine mandate, and in particular, very, very interesting news.
00:24:06.000I don't know if I want to say exciting quite yet.
00:24:10.000But there's been a huge uproar among public sector union workers about one of the strictest vaccine mandates in the country which is being enforced in New York City.
00:24:21.000And there was a massive protest today outside the Mayor Bill de Blasio's mansion by firefighters, police officers, and other city workers.
00:24:32.000This comes as the New York City vaccine mandate deadline approaches next week.
00:24:39.000And once that deadline hits, lots of city workers, thousands of them who did not get vaccinated
00:24:46.000...may be terminated or placed on unpaid leave if they don't comply within the next few days.
00:24:54.000So we'll talk about the situation there.
00:24:56.000It looks, honestly, somewhat similar to what happened in Chicago and elsewhere in America.
00:25:02.000We've seen similar protests like this specifically from union workers in the major cities, in the cities where these VAX mandates are being enforced.
00:25:16.000I don't know if I want to say I'm optimistic but obviously this is a positive development.
00:25:21.000Unfortunately, this vaccine mandate has come down for some public sector workers sooner than others and what they say is that when the other deadlines went into effect basically people just got the vaccine at the last minute.
00:25:40.000When they were really faced with the decision about whether or not they wanted to be fired from their job over it, they just wound up getting the vaccine.
00:25:48.000And so some types of jobs that required the vaccine mandate or that were required to be vaccinated earlier, there was some hesitancy, there were holdouts, there were people reluctant to get vaccinated, but by the time the vaccine deadline went into effect, they had like 95% vaccination.
00:26:08.000So hopefully something similar doesn't happen there.
00:26:11.000I fear it will, but we'll talk about that.
00:26:15.000We'll also be talking tonight about Meta, which is the new name for Facebook.
00:26:24.000And in case people don't know, this is something that was actually teased last week, or might have been even the beginning of this week.
00:26:30.000I don't remember exactly when they first started talking about this, but
00:26:34.000Was either last week or earlier this week there were these leaked memos reporting that Facebook would undergo a major rebrand and name change as soon as this week.
00:26:46.000It was announced today and the new name for the Facebook company, not the app, not the Facebook platform, but for the company which owns many social media platforms, the new name is Meta.
00:27:01.000And if you don't know, Meta is supposed to be a reference to the Metaverse, which we'll explain on the show tonight.
00:27:09.000It's kind of a new interesting concept.
00:27:20.000So if you go on the New York Stock Exchange, as an example, you won't see Google, but you will see Alphabet.
00:27:26.000And Alphabet, they're two Alphabet companies.
00:27:29.000They're the parent company of Google and all the other Google products, family of Google-owned companies, apps, projects, things like that.
00:27:39.000And so Facebook has done something similar.
00:27:41.000In order to rebrand away from their strictly social media platform called Facebook, they changed the name to Meta.
00:27:49.000And that's supposed to be broader to encapsulate all their products as well as some new things that they're doing with the metaverse.
00:28:10.000I don't want to rush into it right away.
00:28:12.000But a lot of people look at this name change and they hear about this metaverse and I see a lot of people are rolling their eyes and saying yeah okay metaverse which if you don't know is sort of like a form of augmented reality it's sort of like trying to fuse the digital world with the real world and that'll largely be achieved not just through smartphones but also through potentially augmented or virtual reality glasses and other devices
00:28:42.000Smart devices in your home, vehicle, work, etc.
00:28:45.000A lot of people look at this and they say, oh that's a flash in the pan.
00:28:51.000But, you know, if Mark Zuckerberg thinks this is the future, he's one of the richest men in the world.
00:28:57.000And if you don't know this, he owns four out of five of the biggest social media platforms in the world by their user base.
00:30:57.000Yeah, follow me on Gab, follow me on Telegram in case you haven't already.
00:31:01.000Lots of good stuff coming your way on there.
00:31:03.000Go to our merch store, Last Chance, merch.nicholasjfuentes.com.
00:31:07.000We have our Halloween merch, which is going to be taken off the site at the end of this month, which is Monday.
00:31:15.000So it's a last chance this weekend to get the Halloween merch.
00:31:18.000I told you I'll be sporting one of the new hoodies tomorrow.
00:31:23.000I'm not telling you to wait, but if you're indecisive, if you haven't decided if you want to buy the merch yet, maybe you wait and see.
00:31:31.000You know, maybe you wait and see the show tomorrow, and you watch the show, and I'm wearing the new shirt, and depending on how I look in it, maybe you make a decision whether or not to buy it.
00:31:43.000You know, you can see me wearing it, and then you can picture yourself wearing it, and you say,
00:31:50.000You know, can I picture myself wearing that?
00:32:39.000All I'm saying is consider you'll never be able to get it again after Monday.
00:32:44.000So, again, I don't want anybody to FOMO buy the merch, but if there's even a 1% inclination that you want to buy it, just consider this is your only opportunity.
00:32:57.000And then the moment has passed, it's over.
00:33:02.000You've made your decision, now you have to live with it.
00:33:05.000And you'll see your friends with the new merch.
00:33:08.000You'll see your Groyper friends, you'll see your Twitter friends, they'll be wearing the new Halloween stuff, and maybe you'll think, oh I wish I bought that.
00:33:16.000Well, yeah, unfortunately you can't go back in time.
00:33:20.000That's the thing about time, it goes forward, not backward.
00:33:23.000So anyway, merch.nicholasjfunces.com, last call.
00:34:15.000We talk a little bit about crime or these illegal immigration caravans and some other things, but I'm excited to talk about this Facebook thing because this is a real game changer.
00:34:29.000And in case you missed it today, there was chatter about this, I think, earlier this week or last week.
00:34:35.000There were reports that Facebook, which you know as the platform, the app, but it's actually a very large company, one of the biggest companies in the world, run by Mark Zuckerberg, there was chatter that they were going to change their name and they were going to rebrand the whole company.
00:34:51.000And the reason they were going to do that is because Facebook, the company, is now much larger than Facebook, the app, Facebook, the platform.
00:34:59.000In case you don't know, Facebook, formerly known the company, they own not just Facebook, the social media platform, but they also own Instagram, they own WhatsApp, and they have Facebook Messenger, which is now just called Messenger.
00:35:16.000And these four apps are four of the biggest social media companies in the world.
00:35:21.000They're all in the top five by user base.
00:35:24.000Facebook has 2.8 billion users, WhatsApp has 2 billion, Messenger 1.3, Instagram 1.3 billion.
00:35:33.000So they have a whole family of platforms and apps and of course they own other things too.
00:35:39.000And now they want to get into something called the metaverse.
00:35:42.000They say they're now actually dividing the company really into almost two parts.
00:35:46.000They've got all the things that Facebook is known for now, which I just listed.
00:35:52.000They say that's their family of products, their family of social media apps, and that's just supposed to be one half or one part of the company.
00:36:02.000And part of the rebrand is to change the company obviously to not just represent one of those products but all of them and also changing it to reflect this whole new part of their business, this new venture which they anticipate apparently will be equally sized or maybe even bigger than everything we know about Facebook now and that's called the Metaverse.
00:36:38.000So Meta is the parent company which now owns Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, and apparently now is going to own all these other new products which are going to be Metaverse related.
00:36:51.000And like I said at the top of the show, this is very similar to what Google did six years ago.
00:36:55.000They changed their name to Alphabet and it hasn't really caught on.
00:36:59.000I don't know anybody that calls it Alphabet.
00:37:03.000And that's probably because, like Facebook, Google has become ubiquitous, and even the name Google, which is a trademark, has become synonymous with search engine.
00:37:14.000You know, when you say you want to search something on a web browser, you say, oh, well, Google that, you know.
00:37:23.000And as the biggest search engine, and maybe search engine and browser being one of the biggest components of the Internet, they can't really get away from it, but technically, if you go on the Stock Exchange,
00:37:33.000You've got Alphabet One and Alphabet Two.
00:37:49.000And really, that's how we have to think about these companies.
00:37:51.000You know, I've said this for a long time, I don't know if a lot of people even realize this, because we talk about Silicon Valley, we talk about big tech, and I think some people may have a consciousness of this, I think some people are cognizant of this fact, but maybe a lot of people don't even think this way.
00:38:10.000And, you know, forgive me if you've heard this before, I think I said this last week,
00:38:14.000But bear in mind, the social media companies are not just some of the most influential companies because of the nature of what they do.
00:38:22.000And we're talking specifically about Apple, Alphabet, Facebook, Amazon, one of the other big ones, Twitter,
00:38:35.000There's an acronym for all of them, but in short, when we talk about those companies, you know the ones I'm talking about, Microsoft.
00:38:42.000When we're talking about big tech, I should say not just social media, but big tech companies, you know, we throw those terms around loosely and we know that they're powerful, again, because of the business that they're in, which is to say that they preside over this global network, a global conversation.
00:39:00.000You know Facebook is just one product of this new meta company.
00:39:04.000Facebook is just one company under the formerly Facebook company and yet the Facebook app, the Facebook platform, which is one component the people that are in charge of Facebook are presiding over
00:39:18.000Billions of people and their most intimate information, their geolocation, their microphone, their camera, their pictures, their texts, their posts, where they go, where they eat, what they buy, there's a marketplace, they post videos on there, you know, they have disappearing messages, encrypted messages.
00:39:38.000Messages, you know, it's it's all kinds of things.
00:39:41.000It's a lot different than like Home Depot obviously Which you go into Home Depot and you buy like light bulbs or wood or something Facebook is in the business of really selling like your attention your mind your information your whereabouts very intimate things but it's not just
00:40:00.000It's not just the nature of the businesses, it's the businesses themselves.
00:40:38.000When you think about these companies, it's important to consider them not just
00:40:42.000On the user experience level, which is to say you shouldn't think about Google as an example, as the search engine that I use on my phone.
00:40:52.000You have to think about it as one of the biggest companies in the world by market cap, by revenue.
00:40:58.000It is run by some of the richest people in the world, the biggest billionaires.
00:41:05.000And what they do comprise is not just the user services that you're using on a day-to-day basis, but lots of things that you don't even know about, like artificial intelligence, and they're designing algorithms, they contract with the federal government, they're doing research in quantum computing.
00:41:20.000I mean, they're doing lots of things that we don't even know about.
00:41:24.000In some sense, they are more influential, more powerful than the state.
00:41:29.000And if you look at where they stand on the stock market, they're driving the entire stock market.
00:41:35.000You know, specifically if you look at the past year since the coronavirus lockdown began, take a look at the biggest performers in the stock market.
00:41:46.000It's the top five companies, which are all these Silicon Valley big tech companies.
00:41:51.000So when you think about these things, it's important not to sort of pigeonhole your understanding and think about it as, oh, Facebook, that's where I go and I sold my Yu-Gi-Oh cards.
00:42:01.000Oh, Google, you know, that's how I search.
00:42:04.000Wikipedia articles, or something like that, you know.
00:42:07.000These are the biggest companies, most powerful, run by the richest, most powerful, influential people in the world.
00:42:15.000Their activities are vast, wide-ranging, you don't even know about all of them.
00:42:21.000They influence the world in ways that you probably don't even think about, in ways that some people may not even be able to understand.
00:42:28.000And, you know, in short, we can go into great detail on that, but it's important to consider it, it's very important to consider it that way when we think about Big Tech, what they're capable of, and so on.
00:42:40.000And specifically when we consider this name change here with Facebook.
00:42:46.000I mean, that's just to give you an idea of the scale and, you know, kind of the nature of what we're talking about here with Facebook.
00:42:52.000When they're talking about meta, in case you don't know, that is a reference to the metaverse, which this is something that hasn't really arrived yet.
00:43:01.000This is something that has only really been talked about.
00:43:10.000And I don't even really fully understand it.
00:43:12.000I'm not even the expert on this, but the best way to explain it, I guess, is sort of like combining the digital world and real life.
00:43:22.000And that already happens to an extent.
00:43:24.000We interface with the digital world through smartphones, and now through computers, which are everywhere.
00:43:31.000You know, it used to be the case, of course, that you go onto a desktop PC to get on the internet, and it was very limited.
00:43:38.000You know, you had email or forums or certain websites or something, and then you had social media, but then you had the smartphone, and now you've got computers in your car, in your fridge, in your air conditioner, in your printer.
00:43:54.000And there's computers at McDonald's, and there's computers at school, and at work, and... So we interface with the digital world, you know, through mobile phones, PCs, and everything.
00:44:04.000But the metaverse is really about connecting things a lot further.
00:44:09.000And they're talking about projects like, for example, AR.
00:44:13.000Which is not like an AR-15, but augmented reality.
00:44:16.000AR stands for augmented reality glasses.
00:44:19.000Where you put on frames, you put on lenses, and you'll actually be able to see a digital interface in the glasses.
00:44:28.000And as opposed to virtual reality where it's blocked off and you see a virtual world, augmented reality you see the world
00:45:17.000This is just one example of how the digital world and the real world are going to become closer together and going to be linked together more intimately.
00:45:25.000And that's just, again, one example of the technology which Facebook is working on and thinks is going to be a part of this landscape.
00:45:32.000And so the point is to merge, basically, the real world with these online profiles.
00:46:58.000And I'll go through this article, I'll read this article in the New York Times, then I'll go a little bit further and talk about the significance of this.
00:47:05.000But I'll just recap and summarize here with this article.
00:47:09.000It says, quote, Facebook has changed its corporate name to Meta as part of a major rebrand.
00:47:14.000The company said it would better encompass
00:47:17.000What it does as it broadens its reach beyond social media into areas like virtual reality.
00:47:23.000The change does not apply to its individual platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
00:47:29.000Only the parent company that owns them.
00:47:31.000The move follows a series of negative stories about Facebook based on documents leaked by an ex-employee.
00:47:38.000Francis Hagen has accused the company of putting profits over safety.
00:47:44.000Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg announced a new name as he unveiled plans to build a metaverse, an online world where people can game, work, communicate in a virtual environment, often using VR headsets.
00:47:57.000He said the existing brand could not possibly represent everything that we're doing today, let alone in the future.
00:48:05.000He said, over time I hope that we are seen as a metaverse company and I want to anchor our work and our identity on what we are building towards.
00:48:14.000We're now looking at and reporting on our business as two different segments, one for our family of apps and one for our work on future platforms.
00:48:22.000As part of this, it is time for us to adopt a new company brand to encompass everything we do to reflect who we are and what we hope to build.
00:48:30.000Mr. Zuckerberg said the new name reflects that, over time, users will not need to use Facebook to use the company's other services.
00:48:40.000To an outsider, a metaverse may look like a version of VR, but some people believe it could be the future of the internet.
00:48:47.000Instead of being on a computer, people in a metaverse might use a headset to enter a virtual world, connecting all sorts of digital environments.
00:48:55.000It is hoped that the virtual world could be used for practically anything from work, play, and concerts to socializing with friends and family.
00:49:07.000So that's that's the scale and the scope of what we're talking about and it's very important to consider this.
00:49:14.000Facebook as it exists right now or Meta is one of the biggest companies in the world.
00:49:19.000I haven't looked at it lately but earlier this year you know again this is very outdated but I don't know what their market cap looks like these days but it's in the range of like 500 billion to a trillion dollars.
00:50:27.000What they're talking about doing in the future is taking that and potentially doing something with just new projects that'll be bigger than all of that as it exists now.
00:51:43.000And then you go to bed, and you're using Facebook.
00:51:46.000And this is something that, like I said, if you thought that your life was intertwined with Facebook and social media before, because you text people on there, and you have Facebook downloaded on your phone, and you carry your phone everywhere, your phone's got a microphone and a camera, what happens when you've got Facebook glasses on, or a Facebook VR headset?
00:52:07.000Facebook is inside your car, and it's in... it's everywhere.
00:52:14.000That's what they want to preside over.
00:52:17.000This is a very scary prospect because likely this is the future of the internet.
00:52:22.000A lot of people look at projects like this AR, VR, NFTs even as an example if you don't know what that is.
00:52:30.000And a lot of people look at that and they roll their eyes and they say, oh, that's ridiculous.
00:52:34.000Do people really think that VR conference calls are the future of the Internet?
00:52:38.000Do people really think that what amounts to something like a copyrighted JPEG that people are paying tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars for, that's the future of the Internet?
00:52:53.000You know, if you consider that Mark Zuckerberg running Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger,
00:53:01.000If he's putting all their chips behind this at Facebook, this is where it's at.
00:53:06.000This is where the research and development is.
00:53:09.000They seem to anticipate what we know before we know we want it, based on the massive amount of data that they have.
00:53:16.000And they have the best developers, they've got the best innovators, they pull people out of MIT and Harvard and all the best schools from all over the world.
00:53:26.000If Mark Zuckerberg says this is the future of social media,
00:53:30.000It's probably worthwhile to listen to.
00:53:33.000Maybe it's not, you know, I don't know that he's infallible, but I also don't think it should be taken lightly.
00:53:39.000If he thinks that's the future, if that's where Facebook is redefining their company, they're redirecting the whole course of their organization towards that, it's probably worthwhile to listen to.
00:53:52.000And we need to think very carefully about where this is going.
00:53:56.000This is still somewhat in the short term where we're talking about Facebook, Google, these kinds of companies presiding now not over just the digital world but your whole world.
00:54:06.000And where will their jurisdiction start and where will it end?
00:54:10.000These are so-called private companies that will now have virtually the entire world
00:54:45.000That when you have 3 or 4 or 5 billion people, which is what we're going to see in the future, seamlessly integrated with Facebook in their lives, with cameras, microphones, geolocation, with satellites, all their messages, potentially their thoughts, emotions, memories, micro-expressions, their interactions, their whereabouts, their habits, their likes and dislikes,
00:55:25.000That makes this more powerful than anything in the history of the universe.
00:55:33.000Anything in the history of mankind and planet Earth.
00:55:36.000Caesar was not more powerful than what Facebook is becoming, than what Big Tech is becoming.
00:55:43.000And neither was Joseph Stalin, and neither was
00:55:47.000Mao Zedong, nor is today somebody like Klaus Schwab or the Rothschilds or whatever, and I'm sure they have their hand in this, but you understand what I'm saying.
00:55:58.000This is more information, this is more power than anybody has ever had, than has ever existed, objectively.
00:56:07.000You know, not just that has ever been possessed or wielded, but this is more power than has ever existed.
00:56:15.000In the history of human civilization, in the history of humanity.
00:56:20.000And so this opens up some very large questions about what is human civilization going to look like once this happens?
00:56:27.000Is there a check or balance on the power of Facebook?
00:56:30.000At that point, Facebook becomes more powerful than the government.
00:56:34.000More powerful than anything that we can comprehend today.
00:56:38.000This is a total reorganization of society.
00:56:50.000But the modern era, the modern nation-state, which emerged around the time of the Treaty of Westphalia four or five hundred years ago until, you know, maybe ten years ago?
00:57:36.000We're finally seeing what the ramifications of that look like, you know, following that through to its logical conclusions, the kind of incentives that that creates, and the possibilities created by that.
00:57:50.000Their real goal, if you listen to what any of these people talk about, and this is even further out into the future, if you read Klaus Schwab, if you read some of these other billionaires, Club of Rome, that kind of stuff,
00:58:04.000Their ultimate endgame is a full-on technological singularity or full-on transhumanism transcending this universe entirely and it goes from metaverse and this is in the farther out future but eventually the goal is that this is just a stepping stone to get into total transcendence of of humanity itself and of the flesh.
00:58:32.000You know, interfacing with the digital world becomes a little bit more intimate and where they want to go ultimately is put the technology in our brains, put it in our bodies.
00:58:40.000They want us to become inseparable from the technology.
00:58:44.000And so all this stuff becomes very important.
00:59:04.000A lot of people talk about AI and they talk about robots and what happens if the robots overthrew us or what happens if AI doesn't like us.
00:59:13.000It's like, well consider the effect too of the network, of the internet as well.
00:59:17.000Not only are we going to have probably computers in our brain and computers in our bloodstream, nanobots and things like that,
00:59:25.000But also, they are going to be communicating with each other.
00:59:29.000The machine elements that are going to be incorporated into our minds and bodies are going to be communicating with each other and with all the other machines in the world.
00:59:39.000They're putting up 5G towers everywhere.
00:59:43.0005G is about increasing the connectivity.
01:00:00.000But when you have these computers embedded in like your clothes and your fridge and your appliances and everything like that, you need 5G to make it all communicate with each other.
01:00:09.000You need 5G to have self-driving cars.
01:00:15.000Do people realize that as we transcend, as we go further into this digital world, it's not just about giving over our minds and bodies to the technology, but it's also about giving over our individual selves to this greater network.
01:00:30.000Because it's not just like you're going to have Neuralink in your brain, and nanobots in your blood, and your appliance tells you what's in your fridge, and your car tells you this about your car, and so on.
01:00:44.000All the computers, all the electronic things in your house, in your work, in your neighborhood, they're talking to each other.
01:00:51.000They're talking to the computers in you.
01:00:55.000And all the computers around you and all the computers in you are talking to all the computers in everybody else and all the computers in every other place.
01:02:12.000And as far as these products and services go, they're becoming more ubiquitous in our lives.
01:02:17.000To the point where eventually, and this is where it's headed, they want to become some kind of mutant, you know, some kind of cyborg entity.
01:03:00.000I know a lot of this stuff sounds crazy or something, but it's really not hard to see once you begin to consider the technology that's here, where it was before, where it is now, what they're going to do in the near future.
01:03:10.000It's really not hard to see kind of the inevitable consequences of this, where they're trying to take this.
01:03:35.000But anyway, so Facebook has changed the name of their company, but this is the big picture stuff folks.
01:03:43.000Very important to pay attention to this.
01:03:46.000This is bigger than all the other issues.
01:03:50.000Technology and our relationship with technology, specifically what the elites are trying to bring about with technological progress, this is the most important thing that's happening in human civilization right now.
01:04:03.000There's political stuff, and there's local stuff, and there's ideological fights and so on, but I think in the grand scheme of things, this is sort of the defining
01:04:49.000I don't know how far this stuff can go.
01:04:51.000I'm probably not as optimistic as the tech people.
01:04:55.000For example, I don't believe they'll ever achieve general artificial intelligence.
01:04:59.000I don't even think self-driving cars are in the near future.
01:05:03.000And I'm not a specialist of course, I don't have a technical knowledge, but from a philosophical point of view, I think a lot of that stuff may not even be within our grasp, and certainly it's not within our grasp anytime soon.
01:05:16.000Nevertheless, that is what they have in mind, and that is what they are thinking about when they draw an infinity symbol, and they say, we're gonna control the universe, we're gonna control the metaverse, that's what they're talking about.
01:05:31.000Terrifying prospect, very terrifying prospect for humanity and unfortunately I don't really know that there's a whole lot that can be done because any kind of organized opposition to this would be thwarted by these institutions themselves.
01:05:49.000How are you going to organize some kind of Luddite movement or anti-tech movement or anything like that
01:05:58.000When we stand opposed to the most powerful institutions in the world.
01:06:04.000I don't know that there will be any kind of successful, viable, organized resistance and, you know, maybe it'll come from the state, but then how do you gain control of the state without these services?
01:07:03.000People 120 or 130 years ago realized how cars and planes and the nuclear bomb would change the world.
01:07:12.000You know, people just don't have the kind of foresight.
01:07:15.000People can't consider what they haven't seen, what they have no experience with.
01:07:19.000And so, you know, in the same way that 30 years ago people looked at the internet and said, oh, that's a sort of neat little thing, that's a sort of fun novelty, of course they couldn't possibly think about YouTube and Facebook and how it impacts elections and it's the future of warfare, information warfare, so on.
01:07:41.000In the same way, people look at NFTs and they look at the Metaverse and they say, oh, that's corny.
01:08:28.000There hasn't really been anything that new in the past 15 years.
01:08:33.000I mean, I was born in 98, and this is supposed to be this era of rapid technological development, maybe the pinnacle of technological development, or at least we reached the fastest pace of technological development at that point.
01:08:47.000But it feels like some new things came out when I was a kid, and then it's basically been the same, you know?
01:11:06.000So that's meta, but I want to move on because we're running out of time and I want to talk about the New York City anti-vax strike or protest which happened today.
01:11:20.000I wouldn't necessarily say that I'm, like, excited or optimistic about this because, you know, we've seen this before, we saw this in Chicago, we've seen this in other states and some other cities, and even with private companies, and it never really seems to work.
01:11:39.000So I'm, you know, I'm happy about it, but I would caution against anybody looking at this and saying, oh, and therefore we're good, you know, we're in the clear.
01:11:51.000Now we're on the right track or something like that because I don't think that's what this is at all.
01:11:59.000It talks about how in New York City their vaccine mandate deadline is coming to effect shortly and there was a major protest outside the mayor's mansion today organized by the New York Fire Department as well as I think police attended and some other union workers attended.
01:12:18.000New York City, like other major cities, they've mandated that all of their city workers, all of them, get vaccinated.
01:12:25.000No exemptions, no opt-out where you can get a negative daily or weekly negative COVID test or something like that.
01:12:37.000Every city worker has to be vaccinated.
01:12:42.000So the deadline's coming up and thousands of these workers, union workers, are saying they don't want to get vaccinated.
01:12:49.000And so there's reports that maybe there's going to be shortages of vital staff, first responders, firefighters, police officers, other types of personnel, because people are going to just simply refuse.
01:13:01.000And it sounds familiar because we heard that about the Chicago police and we heard that in Washington state.
01:13:11.000So, I'll read you this report from the New York Times.
01:13:13.000It says, quote, City officials are bracing for the possibility that thousands of essential workers, including police officers, firefighters, and sanitation employees, could be placed on unpaid leave starting on Monday when the city's sweeping mandate requiring that almost all municipal workers receive at least one dose of a coronavirus vaccine takes effect.
01:13:35.000With just one-third of the workers in the fire and sanitation departments and one-quarter of the police force yet to prove that they had been vaccinated as of Thursday morning, city agencies were putting in place an array of contingency plans, including mandating overtime for vaccinated workers and canceling vacations to fill staffing gaps.
01:13:57.000So it's one-third of fire and sanitation that's unvaccinated and a quarter of the police.
01:14:04.000Mayor Bill de Blasio, a Democrat in a second term who issued the mandate, predicted on Thursday that many city workers would get a shot at the last minute, as happened just before similar mandates took effect in recent months for health care workers and school employees.
01:14:20.000But defiance of the mandate is running high among some workers.
01:14:24.000In a protest outside the mayor's residence on Thursday, many demonstrators wore sweatshirts and shirts bearing fire department engine and ladder company numbers from across the city.
01:14:35.000Union leaders led chants of hold the line and took aim at Mr. de Blasio for ordering vaccinations on what they said was too short of a timeline.
01:14:47.000The mandate applies to roughly 160,000 city employees at some three dozen agencies, including some with very high vaccination rates among their staff, such as the Landmarks Preservation Commission with a perfect 100% and the Mayor's Office at 96%.
01:15:06.000An additional 140,000 city workers, mainly hospital, public health and school employees, were already required to be vaccinated under earlier mandates.
01:15:17.000New York is one of the first major American cities to require that its entire workforce receive the vaccination without the option of getting regular coronavirus tests instead.
01:15:28.000San Francisco set a similar mandate for its 35,000 city workers, which goes into effect on Monday.
01:15:35.000And Los Angeles and Chicago have been pushing public workers to get vaccinated too.
01:15:55.000The city has not yet announced how long workers may stay on leave before they are fired and expects to work that out with the unions.
01:16:02.000Dire predictions of job losses also preceded each of the last two vaccine mandates, one for the tens of thousands of Department of Education employees, which went into effect on October 4th, and again for over a million health care workers across the state, which went into effect around the same time.
01:16:21.000In each case, thousands of holdouts appeared for shots at the last minute, and in some cases after deadlines, boosting vaccination rates among healthcare and education employees to around 95%.
01:17:44.000Like that sounds to me like a political decision.
01:17:48.000That's like some kind of calculated rhetorical decision that they made to make it about the timing of the deadline rather than what the deadline is for in itself.
01:18:01.000But I'm a little bit concerned that it's not because they said the same thing in Chicago.
01:18:06.000Initially, in Chicago, when the police union instructed the police officers not to submit their vaccination status, initially they said it was about privacy.
01:18:16.000Then, when the deadline actually went into effect, they said, well, the problem is that the union wasn't consulted.
01:18:24.000In other words, they have no problem with the mandate itself and everything that that entails.
01:18:29.000They're really just concerned about the so-called details, the timing, the
01:19:55.000What about some people that have exemptions?
01:19:58.000Nobody's really protesting the mandate itself, and that's somewhat concerning.
01:20:03.000The other thing is, like this article says, they had previous mandates.
01:20:08.000They mandated that education and health employees got their vaccine on October 4th, which was three weeks ago, and there were rumors that there would be shortages of staff when that deadline went into effect, and then that just never materialized.
01:20:38.000And lots of other parts of the city government have already been nearly fully vaccinated.
01:20:43.000It's just a small percentage of holdouts in the fire department and the police department.
01:20:48.000And when they go out and protest, they're not even protesting the mandate.
01:20:50.000They're just saying, give us more time.
01:20:53.000So it's a bright spot that people are standing up to this, that they're speaking out, but that being said it's really not that bright when the message is wrong and it's dubious how long they're gonna be holding out.
01:21:06.000They're saying hold the line, but they've said that before and we've seen it with the, what was it, Delta Airlines?
01:21:16.000Where they said, well, we're not going to... I think it was Delta.
01:21:19.000They said, we're not going to enforce a vaccine mandate.
01:21:22.000We're just going to surcharge you or upcharge you $200 a month for your health care if you don't get vaccinated.
01:21:40.000We've seen other strikes and walkouts and things like that, but I'm not hearing about too many success stories.
01:21:46.000I'm hearing about a lot of capitulation.
01:21:49.000A lot of people are just capitulating.
01:21:52.000So we'll see what happens in New York.
01:21:53.000We'll probably know about it next week or the week after that, you know, what the effects of the mandate will be, if there's going to be shortages, and we'll see it.
01:22:02.000If the garbage starts piling up, if the crime is bad, if there's a visibly smaller police force or something, then we'll know that there's a strike going on, but I'm not really banking on it.
01:22:32.000You know, nobody's really resisting what it is in itself.
01:22:37.000So, there's not a lot of room, in my opinion, for optimism then on this front.
01:22:42.000We'll see, but I'm not very optimistic about it.
01:22:45.000I will say though, don't let this dissuade you, because like we said on the show yesterday, these people are suckers.
01:22:52.000If you're out there getting vaccinated and complying, and you become part of that 95%, you're the sucker.
01:22:59.000You're going to keep your job, but you're going to be fully vaccinated, and then you're going to be getting boosters, and it's going to be other things
01:23:07.000For the rest of your life, in order to keep your employment, this is the opportunity for people to get out, to get out of the rat race.
01:23:15.000Healthy, alive, in one piece, start thinking about it, because these kinds of arbitrary demands that are detrimental to your health and conscience, this is only the beginning.
01:23:26.000They're going to become more, the demands are going to become more onerous, they're going to become more
01:23:42.000So, you know, some people are going to get vaccinated.
01:23:44.000They're going to get their booster shots.
01:23:45.000They're going to do a lot of things that they're not happy about doing.
01:23:49.000And then one day they're going to say, I'm sick of it.
01:23:51.000And then they're going to get themselves fired.
01:23:53.000Well, why would you go through all that?
01:23:55.000Why would you destroy your body and violate your conscience and do all these things just to realize in the future after all that what I'm telling you right now?
01:24:05.000Some people are gonna have this realization and say, I've had enough five years down the road and they've been totally vaxxed up and they, you know, been through all this other bullshit, they did this, said that, and they're gonna have a lot of regrets.
01:26:41.000And so I don't know that it's necessarily a moral matter whether or not you get the vaccine.
01:26:46.000I don't know that it's a moral question.
01:26:49.000But it does concern certainly something spiritual in the sense that if you're willing to give up your conscience on this issue, and your body too, again, so you could make a living and you could live a more comfortable life, and it's definitely about convenience, it's definitely about comfort,
01:27:12.000You know, what else are you willing to compromise on?
01:27:15.000What else in your conscience, what else of your body, of your flesh and the rest, are you willing to compromise for that?
01:27:22.000And so this is when we're really going to separate out who's serious and who really believes this stuff and who doesn't.
01:27:27.000Because if you go on and get vaccinated, I don't know that you really believe this stuff.
01:27:32.000I mean, yeah, you believe it, but you're not living it.
01:27:36.000And so if you're not living it, if you're not willing it, if you're not using those faculties
01:27:44.000And you're not consistent on that level.
01:27:46.000Is it really a belief or is it just kind of like, I don't know, sort of an opinion, kind of like this arbitrary position you've taken, you know what I'm saying?
01:28:00.000So, I think regardless of the chances that this could succeed on a national level, you still have a moral obligation, or some kind of obligation, again, I don't know that it's moral, but you do have an obligation to say no and not get vaccinated.
01:28:13.000Because like I said, if you do it now, what else can they make you do?
01:28:17.000If it's that important to you, if that is, if you're so dependent on the system, what does that say about you?
01:28:24.000No, you can't take my job, you can't take my living, you can't, what will I do?
01:28:59.000And I'll tell you, the more people that go along with it, the harder that makes it for the rest of us.
01:29:04.000But I'll tell you, no matter how hard it gets, I'm not getting it.
01:29:07.000Some people might say it's not that hard for me because I'm not in the same situation, but I'll tell you that them making it harder on us, I've decided I'll never get it.
01:29:16.000So it doesn't matter how hard it gets, I'm never gonna get it.
01:29:19.000But it does make it harder for us, and I don't appreciate it, but people do have their own, you know, they have to make up their own mind and they have to make their own decision.
01:32:49.000I think so because corporations are comprised of people but certainly corporations are so big that you have to... there has to be some kind of distinguishing criteria because people say they hate corporations and it's like that kind of shows how ignorant people are of what a corporation is.
01:33:34.000So when people say corporation, their mind goes to multinational, you know, giant corporation with hundreds or thousands of employees and millionaires and billionaires.
01:33:47.000But that's not really what a corporation is.
01:34:20.000So when people say corporations, it's like, well, yeah, people have to distinguish what they mean when they say it and there should be some kind of criteria in the law.
01:34:30.000Because why should a sole proprietor be treated the same way as Facebook?
01:34:36.000You know, a sole proprietor should be able to have the rights of a human being.
01:34:41.000They should be treated as a human being because they literally are a human being.
01:34:44.000And even a smaller corporation, a small business, should be treated that way.
01:34:49.000Because it's one owner, probably making a living wage or a little bit more, but that should not be treated the same way as Amazon or Facebook or Apple.
01:35:01.000You know, there should be some kind of criteria to separate and differentiate between the two.
01:35:07.000Because I hear that and, you know, I get what you're saying, I understand what you're saying, but on a technical level a corporation is, you know, it's kind of a meaningless thing in a sense.
01:35:19.000Because you could say corporation and you could mean your contractor, you know, your plumber is a corporation, and so is Apple.
01:35:27.000So what are you talking about, you know?
01:35:31.000Uh, Metal says there are two types of people.
01:36:22.000You know, this is like kicking your kids out when they turn 18.
01:36:25.000I don't know when that started, and I don't know whose idea that was, but it's really not, that's not something that should be encouraged, in my opinion.
01:36:37.000I think that having multi-generational households, that's probably the best way to have multi-generational wealth.
01:36:46.000And honestly, that's probably a superior form of living because what are we really supposed to do as a society?
01:36:56.000You know, kid turns 18, maybe they go to college, maybe they go to trade school, maybe they just work, you know, maybe they just live at home and work or something, and the parents want to kick them out.
01:38:04.000You know, the peak earning years are 40s, 50s, 60s.
01:38:08.000That's when the wealth has been accumulated.
01:38:10.000Retirement funds have been accumulated.
01:38:12.000They're in a house probably that's, you know, got a lot of equity in it.
01:38:18.000So the parents will continue to accumulate wealth in a big, basically empty house by themselves, empty nesters.
01:38:26.000And then the kid, with very little earning potential, not even close to his peak, especially in this economy, still needs maybe to get a degree, develop a skill.
01:38:35.000Or figure out some kind of a hustle or something.
01:38:44.000You know, they're pouring money into rent and other expenses, not making a lot of money.
01:38:49.000So on a financial level, this really doesn't make a lot of sense.
01:38:54.000The parents who have accumulated the wealth and are in their peak earning years, they continue to just accumulate towards what?
01:39:01.000Retirement maybe or something like that?
01:39:04.000And the kids, the kids who do not have the earning power, and the kids who do not have the accumulated wealth, and in a totally different economy, honestly, where it's difficult to get there to level up, they're drowning!
01:39:43.000Maybe the kid helps out around the house, pays some of the bills or something like that, kicks something up to the parents, but the kid should stay at home so that he can accumulate wealth and he's not pouring money into rent and other things while he's building up his earning power, while he's getting educated, developing a skill, you know, whatever it is, working his way up the ladder at a company.
01:40:07.000And then on a social level, it doesn't make much sense either.
01:40:11.000You know, why really are the kids supposed to be kicked out?
01:41:25.000Who's going to take care of all these people?
01:41:26.000From a social point of view, it doesn't make much sense either.
01:41:29.000And so I think it's actually, I'm not an anthropologist, but I think historically it's a lot more common that you have the grandparents of parents and the kids living in the same house.
01:41:40.000And now we have community you know when the when the kids get married then they move out and they have kids of their own and then their parents move in and this is how it's done and this is how you accumulate wealth this is how the kids can build up their earning power and this is actually how you have a real sense of community not like this kind of weird thing we have now where it's like this Seinfeld
01:42:02.000This friends dynamic where people go into the city and they have an apartment and they have a group of friends and they sit around drinking wine and they're fucking each other and all this kind of stuff, but a real community.
01:42:13.000You're there with your grandparents, your parents, you know, and there's this real, there's a real social fabric.
01:42:22.000Fabric meaning things are bound together.
01:42:47.000You know, that is part of, I mean, I don't know if I need to tell you this, but that is what the social fabric is comprised of, is through time.
01:43:20.000You get married and then you move out and you have a family on your own because you need more room and then you... it makes sense to have a house and it makes sense to have your own domicile and then maybe then your parents move in with you.
01:44:36.000You know, try and recreate the college experience once you're out of college.
01:44:39.000That's why people into their 20s and 30s are still doing that kind of stupid shit, because college is the last, that's the last vestige of the kind of community you get from school.
01:44:50.000You know, in college, like high school or primary school, you got all kinds of kids and you're all forced to be in classes and extracurriculars.
01:46:57.000And again it's not to say that oh you should never live on your own or whatever or something like that but people should kind of rethink like what they want their lives to look like.
01:47:06.000Do you want to live this kind of atomized existence which is based on partying and these very flimsy superficial relationships that you have at work or college.
01:47:16.000It's drinking buddies, it's gaming buddies, people you play fucking fantasy football with, hookups with strange women or for women men on dating apps and
01:47:26.000In a lonely apartment in a high-rise in the city?
01:47:44.000I think that's a very twisted way of looking at things and I don't think it's always been that way.
01:47:53.000And I thought about that a lot in college, too, because that was the first time I lived on my own was when I went away to Boston, and I was in college, and I missed my parents.
01:48:05.000You know, and I was in another state, I was in another city, this is what I was told everybody does, and this is fun, and I had a lot of fun and everything, but I missed my parents, I missed where I grew up, I missed that, I missed the roots, the grounding, you know, that I had.
01:49:10.000It's like that Ben Shapiro show he did with Tucker Carlson.
01:49:18.000When Tucker said, you know, you're forcing these people out of towns where their great-grandparents are buried in the local cemetery.
01:49:27.000Because the jobs have fled, because venture capitalists come in and they eat everything up.
01:49:32.000You know, private equity comes in and they devour these companies, they liquidate them, and they destroy towns and cities, and people are forced to migrate because there's no jobs and they live in ghost towns.
01:49:42.000And Shapiro goes, well, all that you're promised in America is the adventure of a lifetime!
01:49:47.000And it's like, that's what we want our lives to be?
01:49:49.000Go and live the town you grew up in, your parents grew up in, to go work on an oil rig?
01:49:53.000To go work on a fracking mine in North Dakota or Texas or something?
01:50:00.000In some alien place with alien people?
01:50:02.000Go and drown out your sorrows at the local dive bar?
01:51:43.000Young people, especially young men, their brain's not fully developed, their hormones still raging, they're impulsive, they're without guidance, again, without earning power.
01:54:04.000The kind of lifestyle that people live in college, make no mistake about it, there's no ambiguity, there's no gray area, it's mortal sin.
01:54:11.000It is occasion to sin, it is mortal sin.
01:54:14.000The devil, I'm sure, celebrates every time a young man or woman goes off to college because you see the results.
01:54:21.000You see the results very visibly in the women.
01:54:25.000You see those before and after pictures.
01:54:27.000They go in with long hair and dresses and daddy's little girl and then they go and then they come out with bangs and their makeup and they, you know, and they're fat and everything.
01:54:39.000So the devil loves when the children are separated from their parents who want what's best for them.
01:54:45.000And go off to college where they can be tempted, where they've got, of course, all these worldly temptations, they've got that culture on the campus, and the professors, the institutions themselves are liberal, and all of this in the media too has celebrated these NELC, the NELC team, and the Senders, and this whole culture.
01:55:28.000It's not for the well-being of you or for your kids that they get cut off from their roots, cut off from their parents and from their home.
01:55:37.000And sent out into the world where they're gonna do their thing.
01:55:41.000I hate that culture so much because there's so many young people out there that are confused and they are searching because everything has been destroyed, you know.
01:55:53.000All of these institutions, you know, they say we're men among the ruins.
01:55:59.000Everything that we believed in has been destroyed, mocked, ridiculed, and so on.
01:56:04.000And so people really are searching for something, and then they're told, they're affirmed in their male identity that, well, what you should search for is, you know, is PUSSY!
01:57:29.000People become sexually active when they hit puberty.
01:57:33.000That's when their reproductive faculties develop because that's when they're supposed to get married.
01:57:38.000That's when they're supposed to get married and that's when they're supposed to have kids and start their own families.
01:57:44.000So that goes hand-in-hand with it too.
01:57:48.000But people have got to start to think about how we are made to live, what's good for us, what's good for our souls, what's good for our well-being, instead of this like, we think we need to do certain things to fit what society expects us to do or what fits into this concept of what manliness is.
01:58:06.000You gotta go out on your own and you gotta sleep around and do this and that.
02:00:57.000On the internet, he seems to be everywhere.
02:00:59.000He seems to be everywhere all the time, so...
02:01:04.000Puerto Rican Groyper says, I worked in a court this summer and we had a defendant who was a black member of the Moorish Sovereign Citizens and he represented himself and signed all his motions in his own blood and cc'd Joe Biden, the UN High Commissioner and the King of Morocco, on all his motions.
02:04:06.000I don't know, maybe it was early November, because the election was November 8th, it was about a week before, so it was either late October or early November.
02:04:15.000So it's almost five years to the date, or to the day I should say, that I debated Jake Brewer at BU, and Cassie Dillon.
02:05:17.000I don't think I wore the same suit, but I wore this exact tie to that debate Hmm Yeah, and I remember walking up to the where the hell was it held it was held at the What did they call it the GCU
02:05:58.000So if you guys don't know, when I went to Boston U, I'll just tell the story really quickly.
02:06:05.000When I went to Boston University 2016, I got in there, I was a freshman, I was 18, I had been on campus for two months and they were doing this project
02:06:21.000One of the, I don't know, some film student was doing a project for BU Today.
02:06:26.000BU Today was like their daily paper, their daily website or whatever.
02:06:32.000And they were doing this project about who people on campus were voting for and what they thought of the election.
02:06:38.000I was somewhat famous at the time because I would wear a MAGA hat everywhere on campus and people were kind of talking about me like on Yik Yak and everything.
02:06:46.000And so they found me and they said, hey we'd love to hear you and why you're voting for Trump.
02:06:51.000So I was in this feature with like 10 other people and they were like, oh I'm gonna vote for Clinton.
02:06:59.000But so I was featured I had this little blurb I had like a two-minute segment where I explained why I'm voting for Trump and I was included in that and I got on Twitter and was tweeting about that I tweeted a lot of controversial stuff and a lot of people on campus were saying we'll kill you I better not see you on Commonwealth Avenue I'm gonna fuck you up and stuff like that because I was in that thing and then I was tweeting all this stuff and
02:07:37.000And then Young Americans for Liberty approached me.
02:07:39.000I forget the guy's name, but the Young Americans for Liberty at a nearby campus reached out to me and they said, hey, we want to set up a debate with you and one of the people that disagrees with you on Twitter.
02:09:45.000And she tells me, oh you got all these job offers, Shapiro watched it, Milo watched it, everybody watched it, we gotta stay in touch, I gotta get your number, blah blah blah.
02:09:55.000And so that's how I got to know Cassie Dillon.
02:09:59.000And then she was approached by Joe Seals at Right Side Broadcasting Network
02:10:06.000And Joe Seals asked her to do a show on their network, and she accepted, and she had a show with Will Nardi called Raised Right, because Will Nardi was a local Yale guy.
02:10:16.000I think he was at Northeastern or something.
02:10:21.000So they had their show, and I was on her show a couple times, and then she put the word into Joe, and she said, you gotta give Nick Fuentes a show.
02:11:53.000Beardson something says, perhaps what sucks most about you being banned from Twitter is that you don't get to do nearly as many of your e-drama rants about Twitter that you used to sometimes do after the announcements and before the stories.
02:16:33.000I mean, I've been able to go on without it, but I'm not happy about it.
02:16:37.000It's like, it's like the ring in Lord of the Rings, you know?
02:16:41.000What I would give to just tweet one more time what I would give is get another 10,000 followers Now I'm with the rest of you I'm on telegram and I have to lurk behind some Anonymous account with no profile picture and no followers and
02:17:41.000I remember people from high school used to shit talk me and I'd retweet them and it'd get a thousand likes and they would just get totally blown out.
02:23:01.000Incel George Floyd says, rolling COVID lockdowns and the only way you can see your family is on the Facebook metaverse.
02:23:06.000Wow, again, another really insightful take.
02:23:09.000Esoteric Drifter says, don't know if you got the chance to check out the opening statements of Charlottesville trial, but have to wish those guys luck.
02:24:06.000Researchers spent half their time programming content-neutral AIs from identifying trannies as men, black people as guerrillas, and Chadbots from denying the Holocaust.
02:24:19.000Jack Bligsby says, let's be real, all the real brave first responders in New York City died of asbestos poisoning and cancer five to nine years after 9-11 when the buildings owned by Larry Silverstein were blown up.
02:26:23.000Esoteric Drifter says Citizens United was grassroots boomer right-wingers trying to get their video on giant corporation streaming services.
02:26:31.000The control of the system is so great the little guy was painted as a corporation.
02:26:37.000Based Koobs as I'm with you on keeping the family together.
02:27:57.000Chicago they're pretty rare Relatively speaking so it's a relatively clean city.
02:28:05.000I'm surprised you didn't see a lot of blacks though.
02:28:07.000Like I said cuz lately they've been downtown Wiling out but Yeah, I don't know what you mean Al's was underwhelming I don't know you're talking about Ridiculous TVs is how do I deal with rejection from a girl?
02:28:47.000And by the way before people say yeah, I know it's so by the way, whatever It's like happened twice, okay the delegate dance A couple of times for prom and then one one other time.
02:29:01.000Okay one other time and that was it And Yeah, in every case they were like sure it didn't go super well any of the times because I was very like uncomfortable I was very like
02:30:09.000There are a lot of things in this life that you just can't think about.
02:30:13.000Because if you did, you would be miserable and paralyzed and unable to go on.
02:30:18.000So, there's some things in life you just can't dwell too much on or, you know, you will not, you're going to be dysfunctional, so.
02:30:27.000I would just try to distract yourself, throw yourself into your work, do something else.
02:30:32.000Because things like that, whoops, they feel bad and if you dwell too much, if you fall into this sort of negative feedback loop, this kind of bad pattern of thinking, it's inescapable.
02:30:45.000And it reinforces negativity, it reinforces dysfunctional behaviors.
02:31:12.000And it could go on for a long time, so... Tyler Venturis is your monologue just now on family and the importance of community is what makes your show one-of-a-kind.
02:31:20.000I have many friends trying to recreate the college experience.
02:31:24.000Long after it's over, it isn't good for them financially or spiritually.
02:32:23.000Like there's parallels, and you notice this in your life.
02:32:26.000You don't have to think very hard, but that's what the devil does is he inverts, he takes things that are biblical, takes things that are sacramental, and he inverts them and twists them, like you said.
02:32:40.000And you get the sort of evil inverse of what you're told to do in the Bible.
02:32:45.000The world is full of things like this.
02:33:49.000Really made me think of how sad it is that so many people have a similar psychosis for the rest of their lives until the TV tells them they don't need the mask anymore.
02:35:37.000Overmance says, I found out about you last year so I tried googling articles about you and I stumbled across this Vice article written by Will Nardi where he explains the origin story of Nick Fuentes.
02:35:47.000That article becomes sacred in the future.
02:36:42.000I remember we had to walk around the whole restaurant in the rain because we parked behind and we had to walk on those on those stones across the patio and I remember everything about it.
02:38:31.000Yeah, he really surprised me because I've known him for a couple of years now, and I was very, very skeptical and very hesitant at first, but the more I've gotten to know him, the better he seems, but I'm not letting my guard down anytime soon.
02:38:44.000Don't get me wrong, but yeah, I appreciate his kind words, and he's doing some good work at Church Militant.
