00:00:03.000Americanism, not globalism, will be our credo.
00:03:06.000About New Hampshire and we finally have the first ruling on this 14th Amendment challenge to Donald Trump's appearance on the ballot in 2024.
00:03:15.000And we talked about this last week that there are some major lawsuits and there's a lot of money behind this nationwide effort to get Trump off of the Republican primary ballot for 2024.
00:03:32.000And some are making a legal argument that the 14th Amendment would prohibit Donald Trump from running for federal office.
00:03:41.000There's a provision in the 14th Amendment which prohibits anybody who has launched an insurrection against the government from seeking office.
00:05:24.000I'm dying over here it's choking me it's this stupid tie I don't know what it maybe you guys can relate but sometimes it's the material I feel like you have to you have to make the knot tighter
00:07:01.000I remember 2015 it was stuff was happening every day and same thing was true throughout the first term for Trump and now it's like nothing's going on ever!
00:08:39.000I wanted to just talk briefly about this.
00:08:41.000I don't know if you saw, but Oliver Anthony who sings this song, Rich Men North of Richmond, I think at this point I've done like 10 shows about this.
00:08:50.000I think I've done more shows hating on Oliver Anthony than I have about the election at this point.
00:08:58.000But the latest development is, and again I don't know if you caught this, but I guess he was playing a show in Tennessee
00:09:08.000And he makes this video that he publishes the other day he goes on and I just have to get this off my chest because I see this guy and he just gets away with this.
00:09:23.000He says that he pulls over on the side of the road jumps out of his truck.
00:09:28.000And he makes a video on his cell phone, which he publishes on social media, and he says that the show that he's got coming up in Tennessee, he says, oh well they're charging people $100 for tickets, and he goes, that's horseshit!
00:09:45.000and certainly don't pay more for VIP and we'll do another venue somewhere else and then get this he says and I apologize to everybody but my booking agent he's not even a booking agent he's my friend who's a plumber that I'm trying to give him a full-time job as my booking agent and he made a mistake he didn't see how much the prices were for the tickets so I'm not gonna play there anymore
00:10:12.000And I see the video and I'm like, are you kidding me, man?
00:10:19.000He goes out there and what I love about that, in case you haven't seen it, you could go and check it out.
00:11:42.000Just like everybody in the South with the boots and the hat and the carry-on, he's role-playing as a Southerner, role-playing as some regional culture which doesn't even really exist anymore.
00:11:58.000And that has been proven simply by the fact that he faked the accent.
00:12:03.000His song, he has this strong Southern accent when he sings and then he does an interview and he just sounds like a guy from Portland.
00:13:29.000To go out there and say, oh well, hey I don't support this, I'm gonna pull myself out of the venue because the tickets are too expensive and people are supposed to say what?
00:13:57.000I'm sure in his mind he thought that was like a good look.
00:14:01.000I'm sure in his mind he thought that was like, in his twisted, warped, sick, faker, phony mind, he thought that this would be good public relations to go out and say, I ain't gonna pay if it's $100.
00:14:14.000I'll only play if it's less than $25 for a ticket.
00:15:01.000Well I'll only play for poor people that can afford the t- You know, just do a charity concert then.
00:15:08.000And that gets to the most beautiful thing about the whole story, which, by the way, I hated it before this revelation came out, this next part.
00:15:18.000I hated this video before the next part was revealed.
00:15:22.000Come to find out, the venue publishes on Facebook today, I think it was today or yesterday, and they said this guy, the ginger folk hero, working hero,
00:15:35.000It turns out that in his contract he was to be paid $120,000 for a 60-minute performance.
00:15:39.000$120,000 for one hour he was supposed to be paid.
00:15:52.000So he inks the deal to be paid a hu... This is what... This is more than people make in a year.
00:16:48.000But it only reveals what a sick, vile, twisted human being he is.
00:16:55.000Maybe he thought that people wouldn't learn about this.
00:16:58.000But he's going to pull over on the side of the road with his t-shirt on and this ridiculous beard and this haircut, if you can even call it that, and go on a phone in the backwoods and say, hey listen everybody, Oliver Anthony here.
00:17:15.000I'm not going to play if the tickets cost more than $20.
00:17:18.000He's getting paid $120,000 for the performance.
00:17:24.000He says, don't buy any tickets, don't support the venue, I'll find somewhere else where he can play.
00:17:30.000You know, here's a way that you could make it not cost $100.
00:17:33.000Don't be paid $120,000 for a 60-minute performance.
00:17:38.000I think that is maybe a big part of the cost.
00:17:44.000And not to get super technical, but the venue put out a statement and they said, look, we have a venue that seats 1,500 people,
00:17:55.000They said and we're selling a thousand tickets, 500 general admission tickets for $100, 500 VIP tickets for $200, and so you do the math on that.
00:18:46.000So this guy goes out, once again, he's going out into the woods and they say, wow, he's just like an authentic American in its natural habitat.
00:19:00.000He's out there in the woods with a 4K camera shooting in high definition and professional sound equipment that was produced by a $100 million company, The Daily Wire.
00:19:13.000And then he's gonna go out there making tens of thousands of dollars on the biggest shows, on Rogan, on Jordan Peterson, and say, I don't care about fame or money.
00:20:11.000I'm so sick of this, like, and I said it the first time.
00:20:15.000I said this guy, one, it's obviously astroturfed.
00:20:19.000Two, I said this whole thing is just a loser mentality.
00:20:24.000This whole, I ain't got a dollar, oh boohoo, I just wish I could wake up and it's not true, I'm living in a new world with an old soul, I want to go home.
00:20:37.000And now, obviously we see the hypocrisy.
00:20:41.000Money's pouring in, he's touring all over, he's going on all these big interviews.
00:20:55.000If you like being poor so much, give all your money to charity then.
00:21:02.000If there is some virtue in that, if you really are just a simple guy, you're real down, down to earth, country living, simple guy, man and his dogs, donate all your money!
00:21:16.000Donate all... I better not see Oliver Anthony with a new car.
00:21:21.000And you better not see him move out of rural Virginia because that's all he needs is his little tin roof hut in the mountains with the dogs.
00:21:32.000Donate all the money and stop taking money for shows.
00:21:35.000Why don't you take the bare minimum just to travel there?
00:22:15.000He has to be exposed for what he really is, which is the most evil man in America, the most heinous, the most deviant, sick, twisted sicko in this country, and his name is Oliver Anthony.
00:22:30.000And we'd all be better off if he was at the bottom of the ocean or hurtling in outer space.
00:22:35.000This guy is a pestilence on this country.
00:22:38.000He's a pestilence on the world with his protest song of a generation.
00:22:45.000Anyway, so that's a... I know it's not, that's a joke.
00:22:50.000I know it's not really news, but this guy just gets under my skin.
00:22:53.000Every time I see his stupid face, it's like, stupid face with that blank, dead, fluoride stare, the beard and the haircut.
00:23:08.000If that's what being right-wing is about, you know, count me out.
00:23:15.000Well, I don't know why you guys got into this, but I got into this because I was tired of seeing the country become poor and gross and filled with losers.
00:23:30.000You know, I want to see royalty again.
00:24:01.000This is what we want in a country because, you know, we don't support this peasant revolt thing, this populist thing.
00:24:09.000It's literally like French Revolution talk when they say this kind of thing about this is the protest song of a generation and it's about uniting the working class from all races against the rich.
00:24:24.000I'm sorry, that sounds like the French Revolution.
00:25:00.000The one redeeming thing about the South, in my opinion, is that in the antebellum, pre-Civil War South, there was a truly like a European aristocracy there.
00:25:15.000And on their large estates where they owned slaves, they had these plantation homes.
00:25:22.000And they dressed up and they have these complex social rituals and manners and things like that.
00:25:30.000That was the one, in my opinion, the one redeeming thing about the South is that it was a true society.
00:25:38.000It was a truly aristocratic society in the way that the North didn't have that same character.
00:25:48.000And now we have this, like, trailer park thing.
00:25:52.000And I don't say that with, like, animosity, but that's literally what it is.
00:25:56.000It's like a glorification of poverty and transience and all these problems that go along with it, like drug and alcohol abuse.
00:26:08.000And I don't hate people that are truly victims.
00:26:11.000I don't hate people that are truly suffering.
00:30:49.000Seriously, this is what this is what we are like we're gonna we're going to what unseat the left so that we could have barstool Conservatism so that we could have this I'm sorry, but no, I I don't I don't want to be anywhere near that.
00:33:18.000Senator Mitt Romney will not seek re-election in 2024.
00:33:23.000Capping a rollercoaster ride through Republican politics from the height of his party's 2012 presidential nomination to the depths of tribal warfare in the age of Donald Trump.
00:33:34.000Casting aside the hopes and appeals of colleagues, including Republican leader Mitch McConnell, the 76-year-old Utah Republican said on Wednesday that he would retire as a one-term senator when his term ends in early 2025 rather than seek another six years among a dwindling number of Republican moderates in Congress.
00:33:57.000Romney stood out within his caucus as a rare critic of former President Trump, but his decision to retire effectively surrenders his Utah Senate seat to a successor who could be more closely aligned with Trump and the hardline conservative politics of the state's other senator, Republican Mike Lee.
00:34:17.000Although Mike Lee isn't even really a conservative, he's actually like a libertarian.
00:34:24.000Romney nonetheless said he believed it was time to go.
00:34:28.000He said, quote, at the end of another term, I'd be in my mid-80s.
00:34:32.000Frankly, it's time for a new generation of leaders.
00:34:35.000Well, I'm not running for re-election.
00:34:43.000The son of a former Michigan governor, auto industry executive, and 1968 presidential Republican candidate, Romney became a multimillionaire in the private equity business and served as Massachusetts governor.
00:34:55.000Before mounting an unsuccessful challenge against Barack Obama as the Republican presidential nominee in 2012.
00:35:03.000As a senator in 2019, he has been an outspoken critic of President Joe Biden, but willing to work with the White House and Democrats on issues like infrastructure and gun control.
00:35:15.000With Trump dominating the 2024 Republican presidential bid, Romney has faced powerful headwinds at home in solidly Republican Utah.
00:35:23.000A poll in June showed that 47% of Republicans say that Trump best represents them, while only 39% favored Romney.
00:35:33.000He was the only Republican senator to vote to convict Trump at both his Senate impeachment trials.
00:35:42.000For the Ukrainian phone call and for the Capitol.
00:35:47.000Only Republican in the Senate to do it, by the way.
00:35:52.000Trump called the senator's retirement fantastic news for America in a social media post.
00:35:57.000McConnell said in a statement he was sorry to see Romney go and applauded him for making remarkably efficient use of his brief tenure in the Senate.
00:36:20.000And it is interesting, though, the turn that he made.
00:36:25.000Because, you know, Romney ran in 2012 for the Republican... as the Republican nominee for president, and...
00:36:35.000He was obviously criticized by a lot of far-right people in the Republican Party, a lot of immigration hardliners, anti-establishment types.
00:36:46.000They didn't want him to be the nominee and they spoke out against him.
00:36:49.000But it does show how much progress has been made that you had this guy in 12,
00:36:57.000He appears as though he could be poised to be more radical than ever if he were to get a second term.
00:37:03.000But it also shows the stark flip that Romney, although he was an establishment guy in 12, he wasn't like crazy liberal, but now he's right up there working with McCarthy, he's working with McConnell, working with Joe Biden.
00:37:19.000Goes to show that they're all really on the same team.
00:37:22.000And, interestingly enough, I never knew this about Mitt Romney, but... And I hate to be that guy, but...
00:37:30.000I want to read this other article from the New York Times about Romney, because you know, the thing that everybody's going to talk about today, if they're talking about it at all, that Romney's retiring, is they're going to talk about how he had beef with Trump, and they're going to say that he represents this moderate wing, and maybe they'll talk about the Republican run in 2012, or maybe they talk about his tenure as governor in Massachusetts, or about the dad, or whatever.
00:38:03.000I found this out because I'm just reading up on him for the show tonight, that apparently he was best friends with Benjamin Netanyahu in the private sector.
00:38:16.000Isn't that a little bit... And I know, like, I don't mean to be this guy that it always goes back to one thing, which is, like, the Jews and Israel.
00:38:27.000But isn't it a little bit bizarre that it kind of always does?
00:38:35.000This is in 2012 from the New York Times.
00:38:39.000It says, the two young men had woefully little in common.
00:38:42.000One was a wealthy Mormon from Michigan, the other a middle-class Jew from Israel.
00:38:47.000It's almost like you just can't even believe the coincidences.
00:38:51.000It's almost like you just can't even believe at a certain point.
00:38:55.000And I said this on a show relatively recently.
00:39:00.000I said, for as long as I've been interested in politics, I keep waiting for somebody to prove that this is not worth looking at, or that this doesn't explain a lot of what goes on in American politics.
00:39:20.000But the more that I dig, I just keep finding more of this.
00:39:25.000The deeper that you go with everything you just you run into this every time and I'm not even looking for it and this is what you find and what I mean by that is when I started doing this show and I started getting interested in like this topic in particular which is Jewish power Israel and that topic
00:39:47.000I said, well surely there's got to be an answer.
00:39:49.000Surely there's got to be a rebuttal that says, no, none of this is real.
00:40:34.000Like you dig on the JFK assassination as an example.
00:40:39.000Something that would, to the uninitiated, would seem completely unrelated
00:40:46.000Let's do some digging on who really killed Jack Kennedy and what do you find?
00:40:50.000It's like we did a story about it this year published in the New York Times.
00:40:54.000Newly declassified information shows the guy that was in charge of reading Lee Harvey Oswald's mail was like a Jewish Zionist spy and he was working under a guy in the CIA who was a Jewish Zionist spy and he was the handler for Oswald.
00:41:13.000And who killed Oswald Jack Rubenstein, who's involved with the Jewish Mafia in Los Angeles.
00:41:19.000And it's just like, okay, so there's that.
00:41:21.000And then, like, we did a show about 9-11 a couple days ago.
00:41:25.000And you think, oh, 9-11 was the other guys.
00:41:27.000It was the Muslims flying planes into the buildings.
00:41:31.000And then you find, no, actually it was Israelis who were found all around the city celebrating, and they seemed to have prior knowledge of it, and they had explosives everywhere, and...
00:41:49.000And here's an article from the New York Times.
00:41:53.000A friendship dating to 1976 resonates in 2012.
00:41:59.000In 1976, the lives of Mitt Romney and Benjamin Netanyahu intersected briefly but indelibly in the 16th floor offices of the Boston Consulting Group
00:42:11.000And the article goes on, and it talks about how they overlap.
00:42:20.000It says, The relationship between Netanyahu and Romney, nurtured over meals in Boston, New York, and Jerusalem, strengthened by a network of mutual friends and heightened by their conservative ideologies, has resulted in an unusually frank exchange of advice and insights on politics, economics, and the Middle East.
00:42:40.000When Mr. Romney was the governor of Massachusetts, Netanyahu offered pointers on how to shrink the government.
00:42:46.000When Netanyahu wanted to encourage pension funds to divest from businesses tied to Iran, Romney counseled him on which American officials to meet with.
00:42:56.000When Mr. Romney ran for president, Netanyahu presciently asked him whether he thought Newt Gingrich would jump in the race.
00:43:04.000Only a few weeks ago on Super Tuesday, Netanyahu delivered a personal briefing by telephone to Mr. Romney on the situation in Iran.
00:43:14.000The ties between Romney and Netanyahu stand out because there is little precedent for two politicians of their stature to have such a history that predates their entry into government.
00:43:26.000And that history could influence decision-making at a time when the United States may face crucial questions about whether to attack Iran.
00:43:34.000Okay, so it's like, this is the New York Times, this is not the Daily Stormer.
00:43:41.000The New York Times says, well, this guy that's running for president, he's been friends with the Prime Minister of Israel for 40 years.
00:43:48.000And that influence may matter when it comes to decisions like, I don't know, whether to bomb Iran.
00:43:56.000It says, Mr. Romney has suggested he would not make any significant policy decisions about Israel without first consulting Mr. Netanyahu.
00:44:08.000It's like, this is the... this is the... this is the Richman North of Richman moment for me.
00:44:15.000When I'm like, you know, I wish I could wake up and it wasn't true, you know, this is like my Richman North of Richman moment.
00:44:26.000It's these rich men north of Richmond.
00:44:30.000Everywhere you look, Mitt Romney retires.
00:44:37.000Best friends with Netanyahu for 40 years.
00:44:40.000Says that he will not make any decision as president about the Middle East without first consulting the Prime Minister of Israel, his best friend.
00:44:50.000It says, this is a level of deference that could raise eyebrows, giving Netanyahu's polarizing reputation.
00:44:58.000In a telling exchange during a debate in December, Romney criticized Gingrich for making a disparaging remark about Palestinians declaring, quote, Before I made a statement of that nature, I'd get on the phone to my friend Bibi Netanyahu and say, would it help if I say this?
00:46:23.000The older that I've gotten, the more I have realized that one of the primary reasons that Republicans are so polarized against the Democrats is because Israel hates the Democrats.
00:46:43.000Like Netanyahu and Likud specifically, they hate Obama.
00:49:08.000But all that notwithstanding, it's important to put aside your personal feelings on these things to examine the ways in which we might have been manipulated.
00:49:18.000Because one way to look at it is that in 2008, it was Obama vs. John McCain.
00:49:26.000And if you know anything about John McCain, he's another one.
00:49:29.000John McCain and his father are like this.
00:49:33.000John McCain, one of the biggest neocons ever, and his dad was also involved in the cover-up of the USS Liberty incident.
00:49:46.000So, viewed one way, in 2008 it was Obama who wanted to end the war in Iraq, not bail out the banks, versus John McCain who said, no, we need the war in Iraq, we need to go harder against radical Islam.
00:50:01.000And a guy who's basically owned by Israel.
00:50:44.000Him and Lindsey Graham are the biggest Israel hawks, or rather they're the biggest war hawks for the Middle East and Israel supporters.
00:50:53.000And so one way to look at 2008 is it was a guy saying end the wars versus a guy who has been controlled generationally by Israel saying we want more war. 2012.
00:51:08.0002012, you got a guy, once again Obama, who wants to end the wars, wants to keep us out of Syria, etc.
00:51:17.000Critical of Israel, frosty relationship with Obama, or with Netanyahu, and then on the other side you got Mitt Romney, who says, and this is criticized by the New York Times, by Democrats, by the Israel ambassador and the Clinton administration,
00:51:35.000They say it's wildly inappropriate that Mitt Romney says in a presidential debate that I would call Netanyahu and ask him before I did anything in the Middle East.
00:51:46.000That's another way to look at the conflict in 2012, the election.
00:51:53.000And of course Romney was also tough on Russia before Hillary Clinton and before Joe Biden and all this.
00:52:00.000Do you remember that it was Mitt Romney that said that we got to stand up to Russia and stand up to Iran and it was Obama that said the Cold War wants their foreign policy back?
00:52:10.000He said the 80s called, they want their foreign policy back.
00:52:25.000I mean Trump, the good thing about Trump, and this is again what made him so appealing, I've said this over and over again, in contrast to how he ran in 2020, in 2016 his best moments were when he was going against the Iraq War.
00:52:42.000When he criticized Jeb Bush for not saying the Iraq War was a mistake, for attacking him and his brother and saying that they knew that there were no weapons of mass destruction and so on.
00:52:53.000And he even said in the early stages, he said, look, I'll talk to both Israel and Palestine and I'll make a deal.
00:53:01.000Then he changed his tune after he got in, didn't he?
00:53:05.000Then he got in and kind of changed the story.
00:53:07.000His first press conference with the foreign head of state was with Netanyahu.
00:53:12.000And under the Trump administration they did the most aggressive expansion of the civilian settlements and of course they moved the embassy and recognized the sovereignty over Golan and all the rest.
00:53:25.000And it's like here we are again in 2020 and 2024.
00:53:30.000Joe Biden is a president who will not meet with Netanyahu in the White House.
00:54:24.000It's tough for me because, you know, of course I oppose Democrats because Democrats want gay marriage and abortion and transgender drag queen story hour and they want the Green New Deal and they want all these things that we don't like, that we know that we don't like.
00:56:10.000Then maybe we have to re-examine some of our prejudices in light of the fact that clearly American politics is a proxy war between groups like the ADL and the ZOA.
00:56:24.000On the left you've got these Jewish liberal groups that are involved in Hollywood and they're involved in the mainstream media and they're involved in Wall Street and so on.
00:56:36.000But then on the right, you've got all the Zionist forces.
00:56:40.000You've got the 20% of Jews that are conservative in America.
00:56:44.000They appear to dominate the Republican Party.
00:56:46.000It's Sheldon Adelson, and it's Mort Klein, and it's the Zionist Organization of America, and it's Breitbart.
00:56:52.000It's all the Jews and right-wing media.
00:56:57.000And like I said, I wasn't even looking for this angle and I just found it.
00:57:00.000That it turns out, because you know I was not red-pilled when I was 14 when this election was happening, but I had no idea that in 2012 Mitt Romney was getting reprimanded for saying, I will consult with Netanyahu and check with him before I do anything in the Middle East.
00:57:59.000In the year 2000 with George W. Bush, in 2004 with Bush, in 2008 with McCain, in 2012 with Romney, in 2016 with Kushner, in 2020 with Kushner, in 2024 with DeSantis and Kushner, every election, this is six or seven elections, every election this century, someone has been put up who is in the pocket of Netanyahu on the Republican side.
00:59:47.000We're gonna have to switch those around and they don't want that.
00:59:52.000That's why they don't, that's why they're so hostile to that expression and they're so against Trump and they're against me.
01:00:01.000So I just sort of peculiar that a day like today Romney retires and we find that out and I know you know people who are older maybe and who are red-pilled ten years ago remember that but
01:00:18.000It's a funny thing when you're red-pilled, you are constantly having to unlearn things that you thought you knew, that you learned before you got red-pilled, before you knew how to look out for these kinds of things.
01:00:31.000And for 30 years they have been trying to convince right-wing white Christians that, like, our interest in Israel is so similar that we should just let Israel run the right wing.
01:01:34.000To tell you what the right wing should do, because we're just so similar.
01:01:40.000How about we have a Catholic America First movement?
01:01:43.000How about we have a totally exclusionary Christian America First movement that says no Zionists, no we do not share the same interests as them, and we don't want them running our movement.
01:02:05.000Very interesting that that's really his legacy is that he was friends with Netanyahu for 40 years and I'll also say it's a it's a credit to Trump that Romney's against him.
01:02:15.000It shows the ways in which and this is why I say that I support Trump in spite of everything I've just said.
01:02:23.000It's because clearly Trump has a bit more of a complex relationship with Israel.
01:02:28.000And you know that because Lindsey Graham and McCain and Mitt Romney are against him.
01:02:34.000And you know that because DeSantis was set up to run against him, and Shapiro's against him, and Miriam Adelson gave money to DeSantis, and Ken Griffin gave money to DeSantis.
01:03:11.000It looks more like a working relationship than the others in the sense that it's clear that Trump is getting benefits from them and then Trump is supplying benefits in return.
01:03:22.000But it's not like these other relationships where he's a spy or they have blackmail on him or he's known Netanyahu for a hundred years and stuff like that.
01:03:33.000Because Trump got $100 million in both cycles from the Adelsens, and in exchange he gave them the embassy and a couple of other things, but he didn't give them their war in Syria.
01:03:43.000He didn't give them their war in Iran.
01:03:47.000So... maybe it's a little bit more complicated.
01:03:53.000And that's why I say with Trump it is complicated.
01:03:56.000I think that he is a guy who is truly independent and trusts his instincts and his instinct is non-intervention, America first.
01:04:04.000I think he chafes at a lot of that stuff.
01:04:07.000But I also think he recognizes the reality that there is an Israel lobby and he can't go very far by opposing it and he could get some tremendous benefit by going along with it to some degree.
01:04:18.000That's why I see a little bit more nuance in what Trump is doing.
01:04:23.000Because, you know, if Trump was totally owned, he would have never made those statements that he did in 2016.
01:04:28.000It would have never been about nationalists and globalists.
01:04:31.000It would have never been America first.
01:04:33.000He would have never destroyed Jeb Bush about supporting the war in Iraq.
01:04:37.000He never would have said they got lied into it.
01:04:40.000None of that would have ever happened.
01:04:42.000And certainly it's a lot more likely that he would have invaded Syria, or went to war with Iran, or been more aggressive towards Russia for that matter.
01:04:53.000So maybe there's a little more to the story, but that's that.
01:12:15.000It's resentment against the rich Because he's full of envy, you know, that's where that comes from He's not he's not one of these good country people that sort of like likes a simple life and folksy and everything He's like a militant Bolshevik who's saying
01:14:55.000Kostin got everyone banned because he is a Jew.
01:15:00.000Kostin called up his brother who works at the Eurasia Group and said, oy vey, shut it down and they banned Tenryo and they banned several other gripers and this is bullshit.
01:16:46.000Those are the only categories of people that are bothered by this.
01:16:50.000You know, every real man is saying, yes, you get him, Chris.
01:16:56.000should have been even younger Elvis Elvis Presley met his wife when she was what like 15 or something this is just how it was done okay it's trad and now I'm not like necessarily partial to that or whatever but
01:17:16.000It's like, look, all of this stuff about, oh, they're going to be... It's all about older women protecting their sexual marketplace value.
01:17:26.000The women that are complaining the loudest about this are old women.
01:17:30.000A 19-year-old girl would love to be married to Leonardo DiCaprio.
01:19:32.000Hates every other woman that is younger than them until they hit menopause and they stop and they become more like guys and they stop caring.
01:19:40.000And like that is a psychology which is what animates this this age of consent nonsense where it's always changing.
01:19:51.000Any woman gets into a room with a younger woman and says, fuck that bitch, literally.
01:19:57.000A 25-year-old woman comes into a room with an 18-year-old woman with real boobs and like, hot, and she goes, I fucking hate that bitch!
01:21:26.000Because it's going to be bad optics if I go there.
01:21:33.000That's a that's a monologue for a private audience, but listen Okay, but hey listen all right listen The point I'm trying to make is this Everybody knows That the younger it is the hotter.
01:21:49.000Everybody knows that now obviously that has a minimum and I would say the minimum is like 16 I mean probably it's like 16 and that happened to be the age of consent and
01:22:02.000Most of America and Europe and most of the world So probably the minimum is like 16 and You know Then they're hot and then they start being less hot After they hit their 20s.
01:22:22.000I mean, this is just biology it's just biology and the same is true of both men and women in the sense that
01:22:32.000With age, both men and women start to get wrinkly and they become less fertile, their hormones are less active, like this is just biology.
01:22:47.000You know, it all goes together with the biological development of male and female.
01:22:53.000Women start to lose their fertility, go figure.
